ROSWELL, Ga. – Sunday, Aug. 24 turned Roswell’s Town Square into a sticky, sugary treat for the 10th annual Miss Mary’s Ice Cream Crankin’.

The square was crowded with families moving from booth to booth to get tastes of all the unique homemade flavors of ice cream – over 150 offered this year.

In addition to the generally civil tastings, the children of

the crowd were asked to take part in ice cream eating con-tests – fastest eater as well as who could make the tallest ice cream cone.

Started 10 years ago, Miss Mary’s Ice Cream Crankin’ raises money for the Drake House. The Drake House of-fers short-term crisis hous-ing, support, education and empowerment programs to homeless single mothers and their children. The nonprofit was founded in 2004 to fill an unmet need in the area. Having opened their doors in June of 2006, Drake House has served 307 families with

ROSWELL, Ga. – The cost of buying water in the city of Roswell is going to go up – by about 15 percent over five years.

The city of Roswell pro-vides water services to 14,300 residents. Most of its users are in east Roswell, espe-cially in the historic district. The rest of the city gets its water from Fulton County. When the city’s needs exceed

its ability to provide water by itself, it taps into Fulton County water.

The city recently began construction of a new water plant that is expected to pump enough water to meet the city’s needs at less cost, as it replaced aging and obso-lete systems. Officials say it will reduce the city’s need to tap into county water, saving money. Wells have also been dug to provide extra water sources.

Roswell Finance Director Keith Lee told the City Coun-cil Aug. 25 the current fees and income are enough to

Roswell increases water feesCites increased maintenance, costs

ROSWELL, Ga. — “Don’t be tricked. Just hang up!” This is the message the Roswell Police Department wants residents to hear regarding a recent rash of telephone scamming in Roswell. 

“It is common for telephone scammers to claim to be repre-sentatives from utility compa-nies or local law enforcement officers.

“NO legitimate utility com-pany or government agency would demand immediate payment or make threats,” said Officer Zac Frommer with the Roswell Police Department. “Unsuspecting victims consider threats more seriously if they think there’s a monetary or law-related consequence if they don’t comply.”

Common characteristics of telephone scams include:

A person claiming to be from a utility company (such

as gas, water, electricity or phone) saying if you don’t make a payment immediately, they will shut off your service.

A person claiming to be law enforcement (a police officer, court clerk or sheriff’s deputy) and using words like ticket, ar-rest, jail and warrant to scare you into giving them money.

The scammer demand-ing quick payment by money orders or prepaid debit cards. Watch out for brand names like Green Dot, Money Pak, Western Union or Money Gram.

The person on the other end may be very convincing. That’s their job, to con vic-tims into believing they are legitimate. But they all have one characteristic in common: They are demanding that the victim had over cash or pre-paid cards.

Frommer said a caller ID display may even make it look like the call is originating from a utility company, but it is not. According to the Federal

Communications Commission, scammers sometimes use a practice known as “caller-ID spoofing,” which allows them to deliberately falsify the tele-phone number or name relayed on caller ID.

It is important to be aware of these situations to protect yourself, but also to protect friends and family. Someone

who has been scammed may be too embarrassed or scared to say something. You should encourage them to report their situation so that it doesn’t happen again.

“We need everyone’s help with this, to prevent telephone scammers from getting away with your hard-earned money,” said Frommer.

Roswell warns of new telephone scams‘Don’t be tricked. Just hang up!’ If Scammers Call

If you get a call that sounds like a scam, just hang up! Hint: They want you to give them money.If the call was allegedly from a utility company, call that utility company using a phone number that you know is valid to verify the information and to report the call.Call your local police department to report the call.

Can bad reviewslead to jail?JOHNS CREEK, Ga. -- A Ro-swell tree service is accusing a would-be customer of extortion after they refused to do work for him.

According to the owner of the tree service, his company met with a Medridge Circle resident who wanted some trees cut down in his backyard near a creek. When he was told the neighborhood HOA and state law both forbade this, the suspect demanded the trees be cut for free or he would begin posting negative feedback on online review services.

The ratings of the business have fallen recently, which the victim says is because the sus-pect has been posting negative comments.

Don’t drivewithout a licenseALPHARETTA, Ga. – When a judge tells you not to drive without a license, it’s a good

idea to put your car keys away. A Powder Springs man

found this out Aug. 12 when he was arrested for contempt of court and driving on a sus-pended license.

Edward Oluyemisi George, 26, of Powder Springs, was in Alpharetta court where he had his license suspended. He al-legedly told the prosecutor his brother had driven him to the court and that he had a ride.

However, when he left the courthouse, the bailiff saw George drive out of the parking lot. George was pulled over and arrested.

Stolen PCs leadto suspectsALPHARETTA, Ga. – Two people are accused of stealing two computers from the Sam’s Club Aug. 5.

Video surveillance from the store shows Etta Jean Gaston, 56, of Atlanta, select two computers from the store and buy them for a total of $1,300.

She then left the store and allegedly gave the receipt to her accomplice, Walter Kenneth Woods, 58, of Atlanta. He entered the store, selected two of the same computers and left, presenting the same receipt to employees as he left.

Cameras caught the license plate of the vehicle the pair left in. They were later found

to have returned the stolen computers to a Sam’s Club in Claremont for a refund.

Date ends badlyJOHNS CREEK, Ga. – An as-sault call turned into some-thing more Aug. 16, when the suspect was found to have a prior arrest warrant.

Police were called out to an apartment on Lakefield Place after a woman called saying her ex-boyfriend had assaulted her and refused to leave. When police arrived he had left.

The victim told police she went out with Kyle Jordan Paradise, 25, of Valais Court, Johns Creek, that evening. When they returned home

they got into an argument and Paradise allegedly attacked her, grabbing her by the throat. The man left before police arrived.

When police checked on Paradise’s background, they found he had a warrant for a theft on Valais Court. Police checked the residence but could not find Paradise.

Electronics, jewelry stolen JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Several gaming systems, computers and a large amount of jewelry were stolen Aug. 14 from a Cameron Bridge Way apart-ment.

The victim told police her young daughter returned home from school and found one of the doors unlocked. Inside, the home was rummaged through. Missing were a Nintendo Wii and Xbox game consoles, a Toshiba laptop, an Apple Ipad, Kindle Fire reader and $5,000 in jewelry.

Employee getslarge, stolen tips

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A restau-rant employee was arrested Aug. 10 after allegedly steal-ing thousands of dollars in tip money from the business.

ROSWELL, Ga. — The Roswell Department of Transportation (RDOT) will begin construction on a westbound right-turn lane along Old Alabama Road at the intersection of Old Alabama Road Connector in September.

The project also will add approximately 410 feet of sidewalk along Old Alabama Road between Old Alabama Road Connector and Roxburgh Drive. Construction is expected

to be completed in October, weather permitting.

Travelers may experience delays with temporary lane clo-sures; however, access through the area will be maintained.

The construction con-tract was awarded to Sum-mit Construction at a cost of $120,984.85, funded by the city of Roswell. For the more information, visit www.roswell-gov.com/conezone.

Intersection work at Old Alabama/Old Alabama Connector starts in September

cover the city’s cost of opera-tions today, but maintenance of the city’s water system, salary and benefits increases for staff and the increased costs of inflation on utilities, fuel and supplies will all go up incrementally each year going forward. To keep pace with the increased costs, Lee said an annual increase in fees will be needed.

For Roswell customers, this is expected to translate into an 8 percent increase in January 2015, with a further 1.5 percent increase each year until 2019. These increases in revenue will provide the extra income needed to sustain the water system, Lee said.

Those on Fulton County water will not be affected.

“This is the most fiscally responsible for us,” said Coun-cilmember Kent Igleheart. “No one likes to increase costs.”

Member of the community who spoke on the issue agreed.

“We don’t need to be in the water business anymore,” said Janet Russel, a resident who spoke against the raise. “It’s a matter of civic ego, not civic pride.”

Lee Fleck, another resident, said it was only a matter of time before the fee increase would come.

Fleck pointed to a July

2010 Water System Master Plan that he said predicted a need to increase rates to keep pace with rising costs.

“They told you back then what your rate increase was going to be,” Fleck said, “and you ignored it.”

After the increase in fees,

Lee said Roswell’s water costs would still be lower than much of the metro Atlanta area.

“We are in the bottom half of the charges we would charge for water consumption,” Lee said. At $16.85 per 3,000 gal-lons used by Roswell water users, a similar amount would

cost $19.70 in Atlanta. Fulton County water users – which include most of the county, including the rest of North Fulton – would pay $12.51 for that same amount.

The fee increase was ap-proved unanimously by the council.

ATLANTA – Aside from politi-cal affiliation, few issues divide the candidates for state school superintendent when it comes to the future of public educa-tion in Georgia.

Democrat Valarie Wilson and Republican Richard Woods both advocate for more support for teachers, less emphasis on standardized testing and a cautious approach to tying student achievement to teacher paychecks.

But the issue that divides both candidates is the imple-mentation – and future – of the national Common Core Stan-dards (CCS) for Georgia public school students.

During a candidate forum Aug. 18 hosted by the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education, both Wilson and Woods explained their stance on the standards. Depending on who prevails in the No-vember election, students in Georgia could continue their Common Core journey through Wilson, or see a gradual pull-ing back, if not end, under a Woods administration.

In January, either Woods

or Wilson will replace current superintendent John Barge who chose to run for governor instead of seeking a second term.

Wilson, president of the Georgia School Boards As-sociation and a school board member from Decatur, sup-ports the CCS, pointing to a survey of teachers showing 75 percent support the standards. A change in standards would mean the fourth state cur-riculum in place over the past decade.

“I think we have to move forward with implementation,” said Wilson. “It is critical for us to prepare our kids to be suc-cessful locally, statewide and globally.

But we have to work closely with districts to ensure the level of training and support is there to implement [the stan-dards] correctly.”

On the other side of the aisle, Woods discounts the survey results, noting the sampling was not extensive, and supports a step back to determine if the standards are what is needed in Georgia classrooms. He noted the pre-vious standards – the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS)

– contained 85 to 90 percent of the Common Core standards and questioned how much im-provement one could expect.

“As far as whether Com-mon Core moves forward, my plan is for Georgia to move forward,” said Woods, a class-room teacher and administra-tor in South Georgia for more than 20 years. “As far as the standards itself, I think we could have done better, and we should have done better (than the CCS). I think there is room for improvement.”

Jemelleh Coes, the 2014 Teacher of the Year, said what CCS added to the GPS were skills necessary for students to succeed in life after high school.

“As a classroom teacher that difference [between CCS and GPS] is something that we previously missed, [and that is] the fostering of critical think-ing and critical analysis,” said Coes, who served a panelist for the forum.

The CCS curriculum was adopted by Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue during his ten-ure as Georgia’s governor. It is in its third year of implementa-tion.

One area of concern with

the CCS is the new assess-ments set to begin next year in grades 3-12, Georgia Mile-stones. Both Woods and Wilson agree the new assessments are rolling out too quickly to adequately gauge achievement. And with teacher evaluations, and potentially pay, linked to achievement, the stakes are too high for low-quality assess-ments.

“I asked for a two-year moratorium on the [Milestones] where we can look at the test,” said Woods. “The implementa-tion has not been field tested

and we are developing it on the move.”

He also dislikes assess-ments that come at the end of the school year, likening it to an autopsy, instead of throughout the year to assess progress.

“Do you want your doctor to look at you when you are dead or take a series of physi-cal throughout your life?” he asked.

Wilson also supports a more cautious view of assess-

MILTON, Ga. – After a long wait, Providence Park has finally been cleared of the chemicals that have kept it shut.

When Milton became a city over six years ago, one portion of Fulton County stayed with the county – Providence Park.

This was not because Milton did not want it. Rather, they did not want it as-is. The park was closed in 2004 when buried debris and hundreds of containers filled with chemi-cals were found in a lake and wetlands on the 40-acre park-land.

The county had to clean up the park at its own cost, which has cost several million dol-lars. This cleanup was further exacerbated when more haz-ardous materials were found.

But now, after many years and just as many delays, the state Environmental Protec-tion Division says everything is clean.

However, what to do with the park is suddenly a ques-tion. This is 40 acres of prime

real estate in Milton’s booming residential market. Discuss-ing the matter at their recent meetings, the Fulton County Commission discussed selling the land.

Fulton Commissioner Bill Edwards argued the park is not actually a park and is instead surplus land. If so, it could be sold to the highest bidder.

This goes against what Milton and City Manager Chris Lagerbloom wanted to hear.

“For a park that is entirely inside our city limits, we have the ability to buy from the county at $100 an acre,” La-gerbloom said.

Under state law, a park such as Providence Park, wholly inside a city, can be traded from one government to another for $100 per acre. If the park designation does not exist, market value would ap-ply. Lagerbloom said Milton is

justified in asking this price.“Anybody who wants to buy

it should have the opportunity to buy this property,” Edwards said at the Aug. 6 commission meeting.

He admitted Milton should be given the first bid, since it is within their borders and the city has expressed an interest in it.

However, he argued the

price should be fair market value, not $100 an acre.

“Milton did consider this as potential parkland when the city was created,” said County Commissioner Liz Hausmann at the meeting. “They were advised on the condition of the property and they would wait until remediation is complete.”

At its Aug. 18 meeting, the Milton City Council agreed to

offer Fulton County $100 per acre for the site, for a total of $4,200. They hope to take ownership of the park Oct. 1.

A letter of intent is to be sent to the county for them to discuss how next to proceed.

“We want the land at $100 an acre,” Lagerbloom said.

“If the price were to be higher than that, I don’t know that we would.”

MILTON, Ga. – In a unanimous decision Aug. 18, the Milton City Council approved a bed and breakfast on Batesville Road.

This was the first step to-ward consideration of an event facility on the property.

The landowner asked the city to allow the business in what is now a residential area. However, the location

is now an 80-acre farm on the Milton-Cherokee County boundary. Currently, there is a 10,500-square-foot home on the land along with several ancillary buildings.

Along with the bed and breakfast business, the appli-cant is asking to use the land as a wedding and special event facility.

In their application, the owners said they wanted to change the house into a busi-ness “to preserve the nature of the property and showcase its beauty.”

Given how a large concern

among many residents is the quickly dwindling rural and open space, as the large tracts get swallowed by housing developments, for a landowner to opt to keep things open is a change of pace, and exactly what the city wants, said Kath-leen Field, the city community development director.

“It’s very in keeping with maintaining the city’s greens-pace,” Field said.

In recent months, the city has been attempting to come to a consensus on the best way to preserve the greenspaces left in the city without infringing

on property rights. Uses such as conservation subdivisions or turning farms into small businesses are two methods suggested.

Attorneys for the owners claimed in their filings with the city that turning the home into a business – with an events facility – is needed to offset the hefty taxes and fees of owning such a large amount of land.

Field said the ability to get an event facility in a rural or residential area is new, with only one other application ap-proved. It was similar, being a horse farm that wanted an event facility.

What is also similar is how the neighboring residents have reacted to the application.

Neighbors have voiced con-cerns over everything an event

facility would bring – noise and traffic, primarily.

Robyn MacDonald, a plan-ner with the city, said part of the event facility is already built and did not require city approval, but to use it as an event facility would require approval.

In response to the neighbor concerns, the owners have en-closed much of the event facil-ity and the proposed approval would require all noise to stop by 11 p.m.

The City Council approved the business in a 6-0 decision, with Councilwoman Karen Thurman recusing herself.

The event facility appears before the Milton Planning Commission Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. and will be considered by the council in September.

Fulton’s ACT participation at all-time high

By CANDY WAYLOCKcandy@northfulton.com

NORTH FULTON, Ga. – Par-ticipation rates on the annual ACT continue to climb among Fulton County high school students, with about half of all 2014 graduates taking the college entrance exams prior to graduation. Scores remained steady from last year, but continue to surpass both state and national averages.

“I’m proud more students are taking this rigorous test and setting their sights on college,” said Fulton Superin-tendent Robert Avossa. “The results show our teachers are preparing them for postsecond-ary success and we’re making strides toward increased col-lege readiness.”

The average score from Ful-ton’s 2014 graduates who took the ACT was 22.6, compared to the state average of 20.8 and the national average of 21. Maximum score on the ACT is 36.

“[College readiness] is one of our three strategic goals. We’re trending in the right direction but we still have

some progress to make,” said Avossa.

Students from Northview High School continue to post the highest ACT average, with a composite average of 26.5 among its 2014 grads. They were followed close behind by Alpharetta High (25.6), Johns Creek (25.2), Milton (25.1) and Chattahoochee (25.0).

Thirty-eight percent (1,369) of seniors demonstrated college readiness in all four areas of the ACT – English, math, read-ing and science. This percent-age was significantly higher than the state average of 24 percent and national average of 26 percent.

The college readiness benchmarks are scores on subject tests that represent the level of achievement required for students to have a 50 per-cent chance of obtaining a B or higher; or a 75 percent chance of obtaining a C or higher in corresponding first-year college courses. For example, a high school student who earns a 23 on the science section of the ACT would meet the benchmark in college biology and has the skills needed to earn a B or C. Other benchmarks include English (18), reading (22) and math (22). These numbers were determined based on a

national sample of students currently in college.

Fulton Schools officials were pleased that scores re-mained unchanged on the ACT despite an increase in students taking the exams.

Avossa explained scores traditionally tend to dip when the test-taking pool increases,

but that is not the case in Fulton.

The participation rate from 2014 graduates was a record 3,602 students, an increase of 369 students from the previ-ous year.

Similar to the SAT, the ACT is commonly used for college admission and placement.

It measures English, math, reading and science profi-ciency, with an optional writ-ing section, whereas the SAT measures only math, reading and writing.

More than 1.8 million students took the test in 2014, including 50,700 students in Georgia.

High Meadows touts learning through playscapeROSWELL, Ga. – High Meadows School celebrated the opening of its one-of-a-kind, nature-based “playscape” with a special a ribbon-cutting ceremony Aug. 20. Roswell Mayor Jere Wood, school founder Jody Holden and members from civic organizations were all in at-tendance for the event.

From the beginning, the 42-acre High Meadows’ mission and curriculum have been rooted in outdoor experi-ential play. When planning the trans-formation of its preschool playground, creating a space that encouraged connection to nature, discovery and exploration were vital elements.

The planning committee wanted to create a space for the school’s young-est students to climb, build, balance and imagine in a space that reflected the school’s core values. High Meadows

employed HGOR, a landscape archi-tectural firm, to design the playscape based on those values.

The work was completed over the summer under the supervision of Bill Kolbrener, a former High Meadows board member and parent.

“A play area for young children is much more than a place for slides and toys; it is an integral part of a child’s academic and social curriculum,” said Head of School Jay Underwood. “A well-planned play area engages a child’s imagination, creativity and thinking skills.

Unlike in traditional play areas, High Meadows children balance on logs, climb on hills and boulders and portray imaginary characters on an High Meadows sixth-grader McKenzie Pascal and eighth-grader Hayden Shickler

cut the ceremonial ribbon as Roswell Mayor Jere Wood and City Councilwoman Betty Price count down the opening snip. See SCHOOL, Page 53

MILTON, Ga. — This year, the Milton Police Department’s second annual golf invitational will be held at the Atlanta Na-tional Golf Club.

Last year’s inaugural event raised about $23,000 for a new K-9 officer, but the department hopes to raise about $50,000 this year.

“This year, we’re raising money for the Milton Police Benevolent Fund,” said Com-munity Outreach Officer Ara

Baronian. “The fund provides financial support to officers and their families in crisis.”

He said the fund would provide resources and financial support to the families of fallen officers and those injured in the line of duty.

“It’s the first year for the fund,” Baronian said. “So we’d like to be able to reach our fundraising goal.”

The event will kick off with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. on the 18-hole course, 350 Tournament Players Drive in Alpharetta.

“We’ll have breakfast and

a late lunch for participants,” Baronian said. “And great prizes and raffles from compa-nies in the area.”

Last year, about 114 golfers showed up to play and more than 30 businesses donated prizes.

“Our first tournament was a great success and we’re hoping this year will be even better,” Baronian said.

The scramble-style tourna-ment is $125 for single players and $500 for a group of four.

One of the residents in Crooked Creek has leuke-mia. Mary Elizabeth Paris, 11, of Milton, has com-pleted chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is scheduled to receive a bone mar-row transplant from her brother in August.

For their tenth annual Round Robin, the theme this year is “Superman,” dedicated to Mary Eliza-beth Paris.

“Each year we strive to improve our event and raise even more money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,” said Kristin Cleare, one of the organizers. “We are very proud that 100 percent of the money raised goes to that great cause.  Ev-erything that is needed to make the day a success - tennis, a silent auction, lunch and goodie bags - is either donated or provided through one of our sponsors. We also work very hard to make this a fun, positive event.”  

Over the last ten years, the Round Robin has raised $63,000 for research and to improve the quality of life for patients and their families.

The 10th annual Crooked Creek Round Robin is Aug. 28 from 9 a.m.- 1 p.m., with lunch at the Clubhouse. A $50 donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is required. RSVP to Kristin Cleare at cleare5@att.net.

By HATCHER HURDhatcher@northfulton.com

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – The be-ginning of autumn means the start of the fall festival season. There are fall festivals, and there is the Johns Creek Fall Festival.

This year will be a trifecta of popular events, merging the Fall Family Festival, the farmers market and the city’s Touch-a-Truck into one giant event.

Johns Creek Communica-tions Manager Doug Nurse said the city has rolled three great family events into one “super day” at Newtown Park.

“We wanted to create that critical mass of entertainment – a synergy, if you will – to maximize the enjoyment of the whole family,” Nurse said. “And Johns Creek has so many families with young children.”

“So this seemed like a great way to keep everybody happy,” he said.

The combination means families can take advantage of several entertainment options in one trip. They can:

• buy fresh produce; • enjoy the many games

and carnival activities of the Fall Festival;

• let kids get a kick out of

exploring the city’s big trucks, front end loaders, police cars and fire equipment;

• and sample the vendor food stalls.

The Johns Creek Farmers

Market has been drawing as many as 25 vendors every Sat-urday since opening in June.

The market offers certified organic, locally grown fruits and vegetables and other spe-cial treats for your family.

Touch-a-Truck lets kids “sit in the driver’s seat” in some of the Public Works Department equipment used to construct the many projects currently under way around Johns Creek.

These projects include intersection improvements on Old Alabama Road, miles of sidewalk in different parts of the city and renovations in

city parks. Touch-A-Truck also features toy dump truck races, prizes and giveaways.

The Fall Family Festival, returning for its seventh year, includes such favorite activi-ties, such as a bounce house, giant slide, face-painting, animal demonstrations and bungee run.

Live music is on-hand for everyone to enjoy as well as that great favorite of young and old – a pie eating contest.

Admission to the day’s events is free.

Tickets for individual Fall Family Festival activities will be available for purchase.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Alpharetta’s restaurant scene is going to get the chance to show off for a week as part of the Alpharetta Restaurant Week Sept. 6 -14.

With South Main Kitchen, Chicken Salad Chick and many other restau-rants opening in Alpharetta this year as well as the dozens to come in Ava-lon, Alpharetta’s restaurant scene is expanding rapidly.

To help raise awareness of this foodie scene, the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce is hosting Restaurant Week to kick off a week of local eating.

The event, open to all restaurants in the City of Alpharetta, is designed to showcase the best the city’s eateries have to offer as well as giving custom-ers deals.

“We wanted to create an event centered on promoting Alpharetta res-taurants similar to how Roswell, INC has used Roswell Restaurant week to promote the Roswell restaurant com-munity,” said Hans Appen, president of the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce.

Fixed menus, reduced prices or other discounts are all offered by par-ticipating restaurants. There will also

be “goodie bags” patrons can win at the end of the week.

Along with Restaurant Week, the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce has created “Dine Alpharetta.” This pro-gram offers a card for use while eating at local restaurants. When it is pre-sented, customers can save 10, 15, or 20 percent off their bill.

This program is designed to encour-age residents to eat locally on a regular basis.

In order for restaurants to take part in either deal, they must be located within Alpharetta and be Alpharetta Chamber members.

“We want people to get out of their comfort zone and visit restaurants they have never eaten at before or they have never heard of,” Appen said. “We want to market Alpharetta’s restaurants.”

School of Rock opens in Johns Creek

By HATCHER HURDhatcher@northfulton.com

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – You say you want to get those kids out of the garage because their band amps keep shorting out the TV and you can’t watch the game?

You say you want to give those kids some positive feedback while trying to find a musical identity?

You say you always wanted to be a rock star but time has passed you by?

Well it’s time to get back to school, then. The School of Rock that is, which just opened in Johns Creek at the corner of Abbotts Bridge and Medlock Bridge roads.

Ben and Christina Simms are the young entrepreneurs who opened the 135th School of Rock worldwide Aug. 22. In true rock and roll fashion, they did not have Mayor Mike Bodker cut the ribbon, rather he smashed a guitar a la Pete Townshend.

But the Simms are serious about the music despite the antics at the opening, and they say they chose Johns Creek for a reason.

“First, we want to thank the mayor and council and the Johns Creek Chamber of Com-merce for making us not only so welcome here, but for their help in making the opening of our business so smooth,” Ben said.

“We’re honored to be a part of such a great arts city. We think this is the perfect place to teach people to not only rock in music, but to rock in life.”

And while rock is the basis of what they do, it is all about teaching music to students who have been as young as 4 and as old as 80.

Christina said the music is also a tool for students to learn life skills as well. They learn to master a piece of music, and it gives them confidence to set a task and accomplish it.

They learn the confidence to go before a large group or audience that will serve them in any endeavor. And they will learn an appreciation of music that will be deeper and more complete, she said.

The couple each has an MBA and they thought a lot about what sort of business they would choose to launch their career. They even con-sidered a butcher shop, but looking at the School of Rock prospectus, Christina said they knew this was the opportunity for them.

“We both love the arts. We have always had that side. We also wanted to do something that would let us give back to the community,” said Chris-tina. “And we just love Johns Creek’s commitment to the arts. It is a real arts commu-nity.”

Ben said the great thing about School of Rock is that anyone can sign up at any age or skill level.

Two visitors for the open-ing ceremony signed up for lessons that day. Johns Creek Chamber of Commerce Chair-man Kent Davies sat in one of the classrooms and decided it was something he had wanted to do.

“I have a grandson who plays piano and is learning guitar. I told him I would play with him one day. It’ll be awe-some,” Davies said. “This will be a way to connect with him from one generation to an-other.”

ReMax realtor Cleve Gaddis was another visitor who got the bug and enrolled right away.

“I always wanted to play the drums, so signed up,” Gaddis said matter-of-factly.

Ben said that is not un-usual to get “more mature” enthusiasts to sign up after seeing the layout.

“We have programs for all ages,” he said. “Our lessons are a bit different from others. We teach our students to per-

form. In three or four months, they will be playing in a live show.”

And they will be taught to play in groups and ensembles, so they learn faster and learn to play more collaboratively,” Ben said.

“They learn to play with others, not in a vacuum. That is the way most professionals play – as part of a group, band or symphony,” he said.

The classes are taught for

a semester – they call it a ses-sion. And the end of that ses-sion, they will play in a group and give a show, he said.

For the best of the best, there are the School of Rock All-Stars.

They will play gigs together and compete at School of Rock concerts.

Each year, top School of Rock students play in a rock concert tour the month of July and play at major venues

across the country.Asked which came first,

the school or the movie of the same name, Christina says the school.

“Originally, it was sup-posed to be a documentary about School of Rock, but when Jack Black got involved, it quickly became a comedy,” she said. “But when you watch the movie, how he teaches the kids to play is exactly how we teach.”

Volunteers on the selection committee look for business leaders with vast knowledge and broad expertise in their industries.

Sponsored by

NF Chamber Small Business Person of the Year nominees announcedNORTH FULTON – Each year the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Com-merce selects one person to represent its region as Small Business Person of the Year. 

Volunteers on the selection committee look for business leaders with vast knowledge and broad expertise in their industries.

They must also show a commitment to nurture the economic prosperity, quality of life, and positive reputation of the region.  

This year’s nominees are also judged based on a number of criteria:

• growth and longevity, • principal ownership and community involvement, • innovation and response to adversity, • Chamber membership.

The 2014 four nominees for Business Person(s) of Excellence are:

KEVIN CALDWELLCaldwell Tree Care

Caldwell’s entrepreneurial spirit was evident at a young age. Driven by his ambition and passion for the green industry, he pursued and paid for his education and started Caldwell Landscape Company in 1993.

But what launched Caldwell Tree Care came sud-denly in April of 1998 when a tornado ripped through Dunwoody. Reacting on the same passion that launched him into the green industry, he gathered his crews and catapulted into action tumbling into a new field of business.

After working 14 hours and clearing more area than any other crew in Dunwoody that day, he stood before the CEO, CFO and property managers of Tech-nology Park Atlanta with his pockets full of sawdust and convinced that team of executives that he was the only vendor who would be able to complete the job to the satisfaction of everyone involved.

The group agreed. Caldwell Tree and Care was awarded its first significant contract. That allowed Caldwell to purchase the company’s current property and launch the company to a new level of service.

RICHARD COADPrimrose School of Alpharetta & Roswell North

In the 1980s the Atlanta child care industry was little more than a babysitting service with low stan-dards and untrained staff. The founders of Primrose, Paul and Marcy Erwin, created a day care concept that has changed the industry. Coad and his wife, Chris, wanted to be part of the team that created a professional, high-standard approach to child care. They became the first franchise owners of a Primrose school. Today there are over 300 nationwide.

The Coad franchise schools have developed into centers that help children and families with children from 6 weeks to 10 years old by creating the founda-tion for their development as they go to elementary school and beyond.

In the last 26 years, the Coads have served over 5,000 children. Their reward in this has through the success of the children and the family’s confidence in each of our centers.

JAMES POPEKeyWorth Bank

Jim Pope is the CEO, and one of the founders of KeyWorth Bank, an institution with the mission to

deliver a high level of banking expertise and personal attention to small - to medium-size businesses, medi-cal practices, and individuals.

KeyWorth Bank has grown steadily over the past 6 years, from a single office in Alpharetta to five finan-cial centers and a state-of-the-art operations cen-ter. By focusing on sound lending practices and diver-sifying its customer base, KeyWorth has maintained its sound financial condition and expanded�even during challenging economic times.

The three rings in the bank’s key-shaped logo rep-resent “character,” “competence,” and “compassion.” Each year, 10 or more KeyWorth bankers devote personal time to help construct Habitat Homes and support a number of community non-profit organiza-tions such as North Fulton Community Charities and Summit Counseling Center. Also, Jim serves on the board of the North Fulton Community Charities.

Pope�s well-rounded approach to creating a suc-cessful business has KeyWorth poised for exponential growth in the future.

Usually when you mention a ranch home to someone in our area, you think old 1970s brick ranch.

There are a few of those out there, all over North Ful-ton and Forsyth County, too. There are quite a few different styles of ranch homes in our area and they run through all the price ranges, from under $100K to over a million dollars.

But ranch homes are far outnumbered by larger, two-story homes. In fact, ranch home sales make up a very small percentage of overall sales. At the time this article was written, there were only 86 ranch homes in North Fulton actively listed for sale and some of those were over $1 million because they are on large acre tracts.

If you just look at homes on 2 acres or less, then it’s fewer than 70 homes. With just under 350 ranch homes sold in the past 12 months that equates to three months of in-ventory. That’s what we would consider a tight market.

Out of all listing inventory in North Fulton, ranch homes make up about 5.5 percent of all available inventory.

You can imagine that some-

one looking for this type of home might have a hard time finding what they like.

In the 1970s, ranch homes made up 67 percent of all new home construction nationally. Now it’s about 45 percent.

Ranch home construction is on the rise a bit with our ag-ing boomer population and the increase of active adult com-munities, but ranch homes are still a limited commodity.

Ninety percent of home-owners over 45 years of age say they want to age in their own home. And by 2020, 45 percent of all homes will have someone 55 or older.

It’s only natural that ranch homes will be even more in demand in the coming years.

So owners of ranch homes, take heart. And home flippers, maybe you want to make your next project one of those old brick ranches.

Humble ranch home rises again

Do some of your employ-ees always cause problems in your small business? Are these same employees im-pacting your business culture in a negative way?

Just like one bad apple will spoil the bushel, a bad employee will do the same with all of your employees.

There is a big difference between an employee who is not performing well and an employee that is causing problems all the time.

Performance-related is-sues are much easier to deal with than employees who are always causing problems.

Why? Because they most likely

are affecting the performance of everyone else.

Employees who are dis-content with their job, cause problems with your custom-ers and impact your employ-ees are doing far more dam-age to your business than a poor performer.

Being on the lookout for these types of employees is key.

Oftentimes, their behavior goes unnoticed by manage-ment, but is very visible by their colleagues.

Most often these bad ap-ples have negative attitudes, they complain a lot and they share their infectious com-ments with everyone they can.

They typically place blame on anyone but themself, and never ever offer solutions to problems or issues they talk about.

Disgruntled employees take up time, energy and focus, and impact everyone within shouting distance.

Be aware that you may have such an employee, keep your eyes open to spot them, give them a fair shot to change their behavior and terminate them quickly if things don’t change.

Getting rid of bad apples will increase the likelihood of success in your small busi-ness.

Cambridge Varsity Softball begins season with 3 winsMILTON, Ga. -- The Cambridge Bears Varsity softball team had a strong start of the season winning their first three games. 

On Tuesday Aug. 12 they played their season opener on the road at Forsyth Central High School. Last year they lost to this team in a tie-break-er, but this year was quite different, winning with a score of 13-1. 

Early in the game the Bears’ Lauren Stewart got a single and Lily Valeo hit a double bringing in two runs.  The same inning Courtney Campbell got an RBI to help the Bears lead 3-0.   The Dogs struggled on offense against pitcher Keara Napoli who had seven strikeouts in the first three innings. The Bears had another two runs put on the board in the second inning with hits from Lauren Stewart, Valeo and Campbell. 

Finishing up in the fourth inning, the Bears put up eight runs with a couple of walks and hits from Valeo, Keara Napoli, Diggy Dixon, Taylor Hauber and Abigail Wilson.  In the bottom of the fourth, Napoli had two more strikeouts giving up only two hits result-ing in one run ending the game in a run rule with a final score of 13-1.

On Wednesday Aug. 13, the Cambridge Bears had their first home game against the Milton Eagles. 

With a larger crowd cheer-ing them on (the Bears football team came out) the atmo-sphere was awesome. The game remained scoreless until the third inning when fresh-man Taylor Greene hit a shot to left field getting a triple and Lily Valeo hitting a single to bring Taylor in.  Bears contin-ued strong on defense with a several plays being made by Lily Valeo at Shortstop and Courtney Campbell at first. 

Pitcher Keara Napoli had six strikeouts with one hit in the fourth inning but the offense was able to make all three outs, with a pop out

caught by Bela Bravo and ground outs made by Valeo and Diggy Dixon to Courtney Campbell at first. 

In the bottom of the fifth, Keara Napoli hit a double, and Dixon got a single moving pinch runner Becca Cleypool to third and Abigail hit another single bringing in Cleypool to score. 

By the bottom of the sixth inning, the score was 2-0 with the Bears finishing the game with another two strikeouts and another defensive play by Valeo to Courtney Campbell the game ends with the Bears winning 2-0

After two solid wins the Bears hosted Kell on Thursday night Aug. 14 with the momen-tum continuing. 

With the Bears hitting in the first inning with a single made by Taylor Green, Keara Napoli and Courtney Camp-bell and a double by Abigail Wilson, the score was a quick 3-0. Pitcher Napoli had seven strikeouts in the first three innings for Kell with defensive plays also made by Campbell, Green and Becca Cleypool. 

In the third inning for the Bears, solid hits by Campbell, Abigail Wilson, Diggy Dixon and Taylor Hauber scored another two runs bringing the score to 5-0. Kell came on strong in the fifth inning with five hits against pitcher Napoli and allowing three runs on the board. 

But the Bears’ offense came right back to answer with Lauren Stewart, who got around the bases to score on two over throws made by the Kell defense. On another hit and an error by the Kell de-fense, Greene got to third base and Napoli came up hitting a single.  With a walk by Wilson and a few more errors by Kell’s defense, the Bears brought in four more runs to top the score off at 9-5. 

Closing out the inning on plays made by third base play-er, Taylor Greene, the Bears hung on to win their second home game.

MILTON, Ga. – The Milton High School Eagles cross country team held its annual time trial Aug. 16 on the Milton home course and was able to set its roster for the boys’ and girls’ varsity squads as they headed into the Pickens Preview meet in Jasper on Aug. 23. 

GirlsA runaway victory by senior co-captain Amy Ruiz

(22:06) was a 15-second course personal best and led the way for the Lady Eagle squad. Ruiz was never re-ally pressed as she split 6:04 for the opening mile on her way to a 37-second victory. Running together the entire race, junior Riley Burr (second – 22:43) and senior co-captain Juanita Pardo (third – 22:44) closed out the top 3 award spots. 

Fellow juniors Emily Velez (fourth – 23:06) and Victoria Wagner (fifth – 23:13) rounded out the top 5 for the team. With only a 1:07 spread for the Milton team, their outlook for the rest of the season looks promising.

The remainder of the top 10, who will line up as the varsity squad for the meet at Pickens, include ju-nior Charlotte Matt (sixth – 23:23), freshman Emily Bowers (seventh – 23:39), sophomore Marie Repasy (eighth – 24:05), freshman Sophie Matt (ninth – 24:54) and sophomore Courtney Hutchinson (10th – 25:08).

In the team competition, the “Pink Panthers,” cap-tained by senior co-captain Meagan Thistleton (first – 107 points), took the win. The team included Mary Grace Coyle, Chloe Sluss, Sarah Brown, Lauren Stupp, Sarah Lessley and Lindsey Van Etten.

 Boys

The Eagle boys waged a serious battle among the top 4 runners but after the first 3,000 meters, it was clear who Milton’s frontrunner was.

Junior Jack Bluth left nothing to chance and ran the fourth-fastest time ever on the Milton course and became the first to break 18 minutes at the time

trial to score the convincing win (17:41).  Keeping close but not really pressing Bluth, senior co-captain Connor Cole ran an inspiring race to also break 18 minutes (second – 17:55) and run the eighth fastest (and the second fastest time trial) time on the Milton course.

Great pack running is a theme with this team and it again showed as senior co-captain Preston Meade (third – 18:18), junior Clay Marshall (fourth – 18:23) and freshman Sam Bowers (fifth – 18:36) put the Ea-gle spread from runners Nos. 1-5 at only 55 seconds. A spread like that will be tough to beat and match as the season progresses.

The remainder of the top 10, who will line up as the varsity squad for the meet at Pickens, include ju-nior John Fravel (sixth – 18:50), junior Matt McGor-rey (seventh – 19:01), sophomore Michael McCarthy (eighth – 19:08), senior Mikey Newell (ninth – 19:31) and junior Brock Schutt (10th –19:35).

In the team competition the “Butter Boys Jurgen for Joy,” captained by senior Alex Butterwick (first – 93 points), scored an 11-point win. The team included Dru Milton, Will Joyner, Luke Dolive, Fravel, Jake Gavilanez and John Jurgens.

Alpharetta HS launches Junior Raider Women’s Lacrosse team

By AMY DAWSONnews@northfulton.com

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – This spring, more than 40 girls took the field at Alpharetta High School’s (AHS) Raider Stadium as the first official Junior Raider women’s lacrosse feeder teams in the school’s his-tory. It was a moment players, parents and coaches have been anticipating for some time.

Alex Rahm, president of the board for Junior Raider women’s lacrosse, says the need for a co-hesive program to prepare girls in the AHS district for varsity-level la-crosse was clear. Rahm, along with a team of parent volunteers, spear-headed efforts to start the feeder program while working closely with the AHS coaching staff.

“We have a group of talented athletes who were either playing recreational league lacrosse or were playing for feeder programs for rival schools,” said Rahm. “These girls, along with their parents, were frustrated with the lack of training and teamwork that’s required to compete at this level.”

Working with the AHS coaches, Rahm established a board of direc-tors, recruited coaches and began filling teams for the Junior Raiders

lacrosse teams. Most of the 40-plus players were new to the game, pro-viding opportunities and challenges for coaches. Charles Best, a former college lacrosse player, coaches the team comprised of sixth- and seventh-grade players. Best says coaching girls – particularly those who have never picked up a la-crosse stick – is vastly different from coaching boys.

“There are so many factors to consider when coaching girls, par-ticularly those new to the sport,” said Best. “Aggressiveness is key, and convincing these polite girls to attack the ball can be tough. A big part of my job as coach was teaching basic skills, but another big part was making sure they were safe on the field.”

As for the Junior Raiders, both teams ended their seasons with improved skills, several wins and all their teeth intact.

“To see the difference between these teams at the beginning of the season to the last tournament is phenomenal,” said Rahm. “In fact, one of our opponent’s coaches said playing our girls in March and playing the same girls in May was like playing an entirely different team – the improvement was that drastic. We are already looking forward to next season!”

Milan Eye Center is excited to announce the arrival of Dr. Kiran Sajja, a Board-Certified ophthalmologist specializing in functional and cosmetic eyelid and facial surgery. Dr. Sajja has a unique blend of experi-ence, compassion and artistry that he shares with each and every patient. With the addi-

tion of Dr. Sa-jja, Milan Eye Center will expand the unsurpassed level of care and services provided to the Atlanta community.

Dr. Sajja cares for patients with a wide variety of condi-tions, including eyelid droopi-ness, eyelid bagginess, and tearing.

Eyelid ptosis or “eyelid droopiness” is most often related to stretching or de-tachment of the muscle used to open your eyes. Over time,

this condition can interfere with your vision resulting in a decreased field of view or overall dimming of your vision. Common complaints often include needing more light to read, difficulty driving, and headaches. Eyelid ptosis is often associated with a tired or disinterested appearance. This condition can be corrected with a quick, minimally-invasive outpatient surgical procedure which is often covered by your medical insurance.

Eyelid dermatochalasis or “eyelid bagginess” is related to stretching and thinning of the eyelid skin. This often affects both the upper and lower eye-lids giving a puffy or wrinkled appearance.

At times, the excess skin can rest on or over your eye-lashes interfering with your vision. Other common com-plaints include eyelid red-ness or itchiness, tearing, or headache. Women often note difficulty applying and main-taining eye make-up, such as mascara, eyeliner or eye shadow.

This condition can be significantly improved with an easy outpatient surgical pro-cedure. An evaluation with Dr. Sajja would determine if the procedure is covered by your medical insurance.

Tearing or “watery eyes” can be separated into two main issues: producing too many tears or not effectively drain-ing the tears away. Common complaints include blurred

vision, itchiness, redness and discharge. During an evalu-ation with Dr. Sajja, he will perform a comprehensive examination of your eyes and your tear drainage system to determine the possible causes of your watery eyes. Based on your symptoms and examina-tion, Dr. Sajja will discuss a treatment regimen including diet, medication and surgical intervention. Many procedures are performed in the office with little to no down time; and are often covered by your medical insurance.

In addition, Dr. Sajja has considerable experience in cos-metic concerns of the eyelids and face employing advanced surgical techniques and facial injectibles, such as Botox®, Juvederm® XC, Belotero®, and Restylane®. Dr. Sajja will perform a detailed evaluation and provide recommendations to allow you to achieve a bal-anced, youthful and energetic appearance.

Dr. Sajja will be joining Milan Eye Center on June 9th. Call 678-688-4575 for more information on Dr. Sajja and his procedures.

Milan Eye Center has four convenient locations around Atlanta: Johns Creek, Cum-ming, Canton, and Buford. Milan Eye Center is a premier ophthalmology practice and is affiliated with Atlanta’s finest hospitals including Northside Forsyth, Northside Cherokee, and Emory Johns Creek Hos-pital.

Research indicates that the right diet can help maintain your brain. Like the heart, the brain needs the right balance of nutrients to function well. A brain-healthy diet is most effective when combined with physical and mental activity and social interaction.

Belmont Village’s Smart Tips for Brain Health:

Eat in moderation and eat more protective foods that may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke and protect brain cells.

Avoid artery-clogging saturated fats and cholesterol that can put you at higher risk for Alzheimer’s. Use mono-or polyunsaturated fats like olive oil. Bake or grill – don’t fry!

Eat your brussel sprouts! Dark-skinned fruits and vegetables are high-est in naturally occurring antioxidants – kale, spinach, broccoli, beets, red bell pepper, and eggplant are other great options.

Plum picks for antioxidant-rich fruits include, well, plums. Also, prunes, raisins, blueberries, blackber-ries, strawberries, raspberries, oranges, red grapes and cherries

Reel in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids by eating cold water catches like halibut, mackerel, salmon, trout, and tuna.

Go nuts for almonds, pecans and walnuts – they’re a good source of vitamin E.

Vitamin E, or vitamins E and C to-gether, vitamin B12 and folate all may lower your risk of developing Alzheim-er’s. A brain-healthy diet helps your body use these vitamins effectively.

Belmont Village Senior Living provides a range of memory care and enrichment programs designed to help maintain mental acuity.

NORTH FULTON, Ga. – If you ever wanted to know what Atlanta’s roads looked like with every resident driving on them, Tuesday, Jan. 28 should give a glimpse. Schools, businesses and governments all shut down about the same time, turning workers out onto the streets at the same time.Variously called “Snowmageddon,” “Snowpocalypse,” or “SnOMG,” local governments were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of motorists on the road and the worsening conditions throughout the day. A commute that would normally take 20 minutes turned into a 10-, 14- or 20-hour drive.Alpharetta had 50 Public Works Department employees begin salting the roads as the snow began on Tuesday, said Public Works Director Pete Sewc-zwicz. Over the course of Tuesday and the following day, Sewczwicz said hundreds of tons of sand and salt were put down by workers working 12-hour shifts. Unfortunately, as traffi c grew, so did the problems.

“We had all our trucks ready to go,” he said. “Our problem is we couldn’t get anywhere once we treated it once.”The worst intersections and bridges were hit fi rst, however, with the slug-gish lines of traffi c, the salt trucks could not get to the hot spots quickly; nor could they return to those already treated. The trucks became as stuck as the traffi c.It’s a problem a frustrated Sewcz-wicz said was unavoidable.“When cars are backed up and you cannot get your vehicles there to treat roads again,” he said, “and where people are stopped in snow and rain, you get ice. There’s nothing we can do with that. We were frustrated. Because of the saturation of traffi c, we couldn’t do more.”

A solution showed itself later in the

day as the salt trucks began using police cruisers as escorts to move traffi c aside. Conditions became so bad, lo-cal police departments refused to help stranded motorists or come to fender-benders. “People didn’t know where to turn,” said Lisa Holland, with the Roswell Police Department. 911 call centers were busy with endless calls for help and police.“We had to save our resources for the most serious calls,” Holland said. “In 30 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.”

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. –

Forsyth County needs to

add sewerage capacity in

southeast Forsyth, and

one option the County

Commission is looking

at is reopening Cauley

Creek Reclamation and

Reuse Facility as an

alternative to building a facility

from scratch.

Cauley Creek Reclamation

Facility is a 5 million-gallons-

per-day (mgd) facility that had

served Fulton County in east

Johns Creek. Last fall, Fulton

bought out its contract with

Cauley Creek, saying Fulton’s

own Johns Creek Environmen-

tal Campus would be cheaper

and as effective in the long

run.Forsyth needs to expand its

sewer capacity in the Shakerag

area, because it has been

tapped as a growth area.

Forsyth offi cials are

guarded about commenting on

the idea since negotiations are

ongoing and bids for building

a new 2.5 million-gallons-per-

day facility were opened only

last week. The county has $27

million budgeted for construc-

tion of the Shakerag facility.

Forsyth County Chair-

man Pete Amos confi rmed the

county has talked with Cauley

CEO Ron Green, but it is still

very much preliminary.

“We are evaluating our op-

tions. Right now, we are still

comparing the bids we have

received for the new plant to

serve the needs of that basin,”

said Amos.

State law prohib-

its pumping sewerage

from one basin to

another. The Etowah

Basin serves most of

Forsyth County, but

the southeastern por-

tion is in the Johns

Creek Basin.

The county owns

300 acres known as

the Threatt property.

As for the Cauley Creek op-

tion, Amos said it was too early

to say anything.

“We’re still in the process of

comparing sewer plants to see

which will suit us best,” Amos

said. “We will discuss that in

the near future, but we haven’t

made any decision on Cauley

Creek.”As plans come into focus,

Amos said the county will have

“full and open discussions”

with both Johns Creek and

Fulton County about Cauley

Creek.“But we’re not at that point

yet,” he said.

Forsyth Commissioner

Brian Tam, who represents

Shakerag, also said it is just

too soon to talk about where

Forsyth is at.

“It’s a delicate situation.

Somewhere, there is a num-

ber that makes sense for us to

do this. It’s fair to say we are

assessing our options includ-

ing Cauley Creek,” Tam said.

“Forsyth County is in a good

position. We can look at these

bids for which we have bud-

geted up to $27 million. And

we can look at Cauley Creek.

So all of them need to keep a

“The lights are really

The county’s skate park

Owners Luis and Rachel Quiles, who live in Ro-swell, opened SuperSlow Zone because they know firsthand how important fitness is to overall health. “When we found SuperSlow Zone, we knew it was the real deal and wanted to bring it to North Fulton so others could experience the SuperSlow Zone workout. It’s more than a workout; it’s a lifestyle with life-changing results,” Luis says.

SuperSlow Zone in Milton is part of a national and international network of 78 franchise licenses; the Milton center is the first in the metro Atlanta area. SuperSlow Zone is a slow-motion, accredited, per-sonal strength training workout program. Its unique approach to total-body fitness follows a slow, fluid weight-lifting movement of 10 seconds up and 10 sec-onds down. Grayson Hunt, a SuperSlow Zone certified instructor, explains this “loading” process is designed to momentarily fatigue the muscles quickly. “This stimulates the body to make more muscle,” he says. “SuperSlow Zone utilizes a qualitative, rather than quantitative, workout method. In only 20 minutes, it gives you a safe, total body workout that engages all of the targeted muscles while also benefitting the cardiovascular system.

The exercise protocol was developed with the help of scientific research as part of a $3.2 million osteo-porosis study at the University of Florida, School of Medicine.

The SuperSlow Zone exercise system will prop-erly and safely build muscle and increase resting metabolism to allow the body to burn more calories. Although appropriate for anyone, SuperSlow Zone is ideal for busy adults age 40 and above. “As we age, bone density and muscle strength decrease signifi-cantly, which can affect mobility and overall quality of life,” Luis explains. “SuperSlow Zone can improve bone density; cardiovascular fitness; muscle strength and tone; energy, endurance and stamina; and me-tabolism.

The results are noticeable, which keeps adults motivated to continue the workout program regularly.

We work with people who have minor to major health challenges, those who have not exercised in a long time, or ever, and exercise en-thusiasts.”

SuperSlow Zone uses medical-grade equipment from Nautilus. “Our exercise system, continuously improved over the last 10 years, affords unparalleled results,” Luis says. “Nationally, 68 percent of clients stay 2 to 10 years, 71 percent of new clients are from referrals, and of referrals, 21 percent are from physicians. Clients come, stay and refer because it works.” SuperSlow Zone accredited, certified instructors, including Hunt, work individu-ally with clients to develop an exercise program that suits their unique needs and fitness levels. Typically, individuals work out (Under an instructor’s supervi-sion) for approximately 20 minutes on five to seven different machines that target specific muscles.

“SuperSlow Zone takes safety and satisfaction se-riously,” Hunt says. “Working one-on-one continuous-ly with an instructor essentially removes the risk of injury and guarantees results, because we’re experts in understanding how the machines work and how the body will respond to them. “Over time, individuals progressively get stronger.

SuperSlow Zone instructors capture and store clients’ individual workout data with Cloud software, so they can precisely track each workout and produce accurate reports of progress.

In addition to fitness, SuperSlow Zone offers a 12-week group (or individual) nutrition program designed to teach strategies for building a lifestyle of balanced nutrition and fitness.

Another distinctive feature of SuperSlow Zone is

the atmosphere. “This isn’t your typical gym,” Luis says, “The SuperSlow Zone workout requires focus, so we create an atmosphere where individuals can concentrate, receive one-on-one attention from their instructor, and not feel intimidated. SuperSlow Zone provides an effective workout in a short amount of time so that you can get in, get out, and get on with your busy life!”

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Both Milton and Alpharetta expect to be in the state AAAAAA playoffs this season, with each team having realistic hopes of a region championship.

There are no playoff or region implications involved in the Aug. 22 season opener between the two teams in Alpharetta, but that does not distract at all from one of the metro area’s most interesting and significant early season games.

The two nearby rivals have played a series of close games in recent years, with Milton winning six of the last seven against the Raiders, including back-to-back victories in 2012 and ’13.

Alpharetta will be looking to avenge a 31-24 overtime loss last year to the Eagles, who survived a second-half offensive shutout to make it to overtime.

Milton won when the Raid-ers fumbled on their first play in the extra period after the Eagles had taken the lead.

Both teams suffered some key graduation losses, but each has a strong return-ing nucleus, including both starting quarterbacks and one defensive standout each.

Alpharetta, 9-3 last season, will be led by Austin King, who passed for 323 yards and a pair of long-range touchdowns against the Eagles, but also was involved in all four of the Raiders’ turnovers.

“He’s one of the top quar-terbacks around,” Milton coach

Howie DeCristofaro said of King. “He’s a pure pocket pass-er and he’s gotten much, much better. I put him up there with Dobbs.” DeCristofaro was referring to Josh Dobbs, Alpharetta’s quar-terback in 2012 who started late in his freshman season last year at Tennessee. Dobbs led a furious late comeback against the Eagles two years ago, with Milton hanging on to win 35-28 after piling up 430 yards rushing in the game.

The Eagles, 8-3 in 2013, ran all over the Alpharetta de-fense for the entire game that year and for the first half last season. But the two running backs who accounted for the vast majority of those yards are now in the SEC along with Dobbs.

Milton will likely attempt to be a more balanced offensive team this season, with quarter-back Austin McLeod expected

to play a bigger role with the aid of transfer receiver Obe Fortune.

The Eagles should again be a strong running team with three quality returning start-ers on the offensive line and a tough inside runner in Mikko Brisker.

The Raiders will counter with a defense led by end An-drew Butcher, with the Eagles featuring a defensive ace of their own in linebacker Quarte Sapp.

The Eagles’ mostly veteran secondary will be tested by Alpharetta’s spread, pass-ori-ented offense, with King losing his two favorite targets from last season but having several proven pass-catchers return-ing.

“We’re playing a very good team that is very good at what they do,” DeCristofaro said of the Raiders and their passing game.

The Eagles open the season with Alpharetta, last year’s Region 6 champion, and Nor-cross, the defending AAAAAA champion, before beginning region play.

“We’re a better team when we play non-region teams like Alpharetta,” DeCristofaro said. “That’s why we put Norcross on the schedule, too.”

Foster, adoption center to open

By JONATHAN COPSEYjonathan@northfulton.com

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A new de-velopment aims to be a respite for foster children.

The Kalen Center began construction at 231 Vaughan Drive in Alpharetta, just off Ga. 9, where it will house Giving Children a Chance (GCAC), Dreamweavers of Georgia and Moeller and Associates, a behavioral health counselling service.

All three are dedicated to helping foster children and their families.

“This center will be a state-of-the-art healing center,” said Fred Moeller, of Dreamweavers and Moeller and Associates. “We want it to be a shining star in North Atlanta.”

All three groups will be housed in the 17,500-square-foot, three-story building, on about 1 acre of land.

The building will feature

meeting rooms for children and their families, including areas where parents can meet with children, play areas and paren-tal instruction facilities.

In addition to offices and care facilities, the top floor of the building is expected to be a training center not just for the employees but for other busi-nesses that can rent it out for training purposes.

“We can get everything under one roof,” said Jennifer Hudson, of GCAC.

Dreamweavers is a nonprof-it and raises money for foster children in state care to pay for things the state does not provide – such as braces, field trips, Christmas presents and tutoring.

GCAC is a private child placement agency that pro-vides foster care and adoption services throughout Georgia.

The name of the building – “Kalen” – comes from one of the Dreamweavers foster chil-

dren, whose middle name is Kalen. It means “keeper of the keys,” a name Moeller said was fitting for the building.

“Our mission has grown.” Moeller said. “We want to do more. We want to do the best we can. “Today signifies our

commitment to answering the call,” he said.

Ms. Senior Georgia pageant promotes seniorhood

By SHANNON WEAVERshannon@northfulton.com

ROSWELL, Ga. —“I am a SWAG,” said Cindy Wood, Ms. Senior Georgia 2013 performing as her alter ego, Ms. Magnolia. “A Southern Woman Aging Gracefully.”

That was the message of the Ms. Se-nior Georgia pageant this year, hosted by the Georgia Classic Club to promote a positive image of aging. The pageant was held at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center Aug. 16-17.

Although some contestants came from the city and regional levels, the only requirement for the pageant was to be a Georgia woman 60 or more years of age.

The winner was Dolores Lauder-dale, of Marietta. Her talent act was a “Singing in the Rain” song and dance routine.

“Life after 60 has been wonderful,” said Lauderdale in her platform. “I am loving this life even more and trying new ventures.”

Other contestants were Sheila Phil-lips of Albany, Lynda Dawson of Ham-ilton, Bernadine Cantrell of Woodstock, Cheryl Willoughby of Silver Creek, Jan Jones of Conyers and Charlene Mc-Cann of Augusta.

Classic Club members provided

many of the entertainment acts, includ-ing an introduction from the pageant’s former queens, a monologue by Wood as Ms. Magnolia and a tambourine routine by the Dazzlin’ Dames, an entertainment group made up of former pageant contestants and Classic Club members.

Barbara Quinn said that most of the queens have continued to be involved in the club.

“Everybody who’s been in the pag-eant, that’s the initiation into the Clas-sic Club,” said Quinn.

As “queen,” Wood toured many events throughout the state for her term as Ms. Senior Georgia, pub-lic speaking, auctioning for charity, volunteering and performing with the Dazzlin’ Dames.

Lauderdale will make a similar tour over the next year.

MILTON, Ga. – Bryan Moore accounted for 374 yards of offense and had a hand in all six of his team’s touch-downs, as the Cambridge Bears opened their season with a 42-6 victory on their home field over Holy Innocents Aug. 22.

Moore completed 13 of 21 passes for 323 yards and four touchdowns, and ran six times for 51 yards and two scores.

The Bears finished the game with 436 yards total offense.

The game was tied 6-6 before the Bears ran off the next 36 points. Cam-bridge led 28-6 at the half.

John Hurst had six catches for 133 yards for the Bears and scored twice, one on a 71-yard reception. J.D. White and freshman Spencer Gaddis had the other two touchdown catches for Cambridge, with Hunter Smith gaining 46 and 52 yards on his only two recep-tions. Moore completed four passes for 45 yards or longer, with Gaddis on the receiving end of one of the Bears’ long gainers.

Defensively, Cambridge recorded four quarterback sacks by four differ-ent players. Josh Kania, who had one of the sacks, also forced a fumble that was recovered by White.

The Bears travel to Douglasville Fri-day night to play Chapel Hills, which will be playing its first game.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – After going the entire 2013 regular season without a loss, the Mount Pisgah Patriots dropped their 2014 season opener 42-34 to Brookstone Saturday after-noon, Aug. 23.

Playing without three of their top defensive players who were sidelined with injuries, the Patriots yielded 300 yards rushing to a pair of Brookstone running backs, with the Cou-

gars adding 134 yards passing. The Patriots, meanwhile,

managed just 227 yards total offense, with quarterback Aaron Winchester accounting for 84 of the team’s 97 yards on the ground. Brookstone also contained the Patriots’ passing game, with Winchester completing nine of 19 passes for 130 yards.

Winchester connected on a 31-yard touchdown pass to Oz

Dixon to give the Patriots an early 6-0 lead, but the Cougars went ahead 16-6 on a pair of touchdowns and a safety on a high Mount Pisgah snap from center. Brookstone, an annual state playoff participant, led 23-12 at the half, with Win-chester scoring for the Patriots on an 8-yard run. The Cou-gars drove for a touchdown to start the second half, but the Patriots closed within 29-

26 on a 3-yard run by Jus-tin Gilvin and a 30-yard TD pass from Winchester to Ben Miller.

The Cougars took control in the final period, scoring on a 67-yard run by Sam Ndem, who added the clinching score after Brookstone recovered the ensuing kickoff.

Mount Pisgah scored with three minutes to play and closed within 42-34 on a two-

point pass from Winchester to Connor Richey, but the Patri-ots never got the ball back as Brookstone ran out of clock.

The Patriots are off this week, and coach Mike For-ester said he hopes to have defensive linemen Shingi Chigwere and Blake Smith and linebacker J.R. Cendoya back for the game at Rabun County Sept. 5.

ROME, Ga. – The Fellowship Christian Paladins opened their season Friday night, Aug. 22, with a decisive 44-17 victory at Armuchee, piling up 332 yards rushing in the victory.

Sophomore Andrew Minkert carried 10 times for 95 yards and scored three touchdowns for FCS, with quarterback Shane Young adding 99 yards and a TD on eight carries in his first start for the Paladins.

Ryan Reid also had a rushing touchdown for Fel-lowship, with Young passing to Drew Williamson for the other FCS score. Young com-pleted five of 11 passes for 57 yards.

The Paladins trailed 10-6 after the first quarter, but outscored the Indians 38-0 the next two periods to take a 44-10 lead into the final quarter.

Sophomore Jack Hardin keyed the Paladins’ defensive effort with five solo tackles and 11 assists. Fellowship also enjoyed success in the return game, with Dalton Depew picking up 97 yards on kickoff returns and Austin Bell adding 55 yards on punt returns. Bell also rushed for 61 yards.

Fellowship Christian plays its home opener Friday night against Riverside Military Academy.

VALDOSTA, Ga. – Roswell coach John Ford was looking to give his team a serious test in the Hornets’ season opener, but may have gotten a little more of a challenge than he was hoping for against peren-nial state power Lowndes.

The Vikings dominated for three quarters before the Hornets picked up a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns in a 37-14 loss Friday, Aug. 22, on Lowndes’ home field.

The game was a rematch of a 2007 state playoff game in which Roswell gave the state champion Vikings their toughest battle of the post-season in the quarterfinals.

While Lowndes has re-mained a state power since winning the ’07 title, the Hornets have not fared as well after sharing the state title in 2006 and giving the Vikings a battle the next year.

Lowndes led Roswell 14-0 at the half, and put the game away in the third peri-

od. Roswell, which managed just 8 yards total offense in the first half, scored on a pair of touchdown passes in the final period from James Whitaker to Mechane Slade. Whitaker finished with 109 yards passing.

The Hornets return home Friday night to play cross-town rival Centennial, which will be making its season debut.

Both teams feature some talented skill position play-ers, several of whom played major roles in last year’s 39-30 Roswell victory over the

Knights. Brothers Kendrick and

Shakur Jackson scored two touchdowns each in Ro-swell’s victory, with Slade, running back Sheldon Evans and receiver Hunter Coleman all making key contributions.

Centennial returns all-purpose back Caden Her-ring, but the Knights lost standout receiver Christian Robinson and quarterback Matthew Harries, who played well against the Hornets but was injured midway through the season.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – The Chatta-hoochee Cougars lost all their skill position starters on offense from last season, with almost all of them going on to college on football scholar-ships.

But in addition to the losses at quarterback, running back and re-ceiver, the Cougars also suffered heavy losses in the defensive secondary, and the team’s inexperience on both sides of the football was evident in last Fri-day night’s season opener.

The Cougars lost 42-7 at home Aug. 22, against Cherokee, a team on the rise in Region 5-AAAAAA.

The Warriors piled up 386 yards of offense against a mostly untested Chattahoochee defense, with 296 yards of that total coming from passes from Cherokee quarterback Spencer Ashley, who completed 27 of 33 at-tempts.

Ashley’s favorite target was Andrew Harris, who had 14 receptions for 212 yards and three touchdowns, pick-ing up sizeable chunks of yardage on short passes and also getting behind the Cougars’ secondary a few times.

The Warriors led 28-0 at the half, scoring on drives of 65, 80 and 80

yards and taking advantage of a fumble by the Cougars inside their 20.

Cherokee scored on its first pos-session of the second half and made it 42-0 later in the third period on Ashley’s fourth touchdown pass of the night.

The Cougars avoided a shutout on a 9-yard scoring pass from backup quarterback Chase Owens to Isaac Kinsey in the final period after Jordan Einstein returned an interception 36 yards to the Cherokee 9. Chattahooch-ee scored on the next play.

Owens was more effective in the final period than starting quarterback David Nicoletta was in the first three quarters, but had the benefit of playing against Cherokee’s reserves.

Blake Hundley led the Chatta-hoochee offense with 71 yards on 20 carries.

The Cougars rushed for 155 yards, but managed just 43 yards passing, completing nine of 18 attempts.

The Chattahoochee defense allowed a modest 90 yards rushing, with the Warriors attempting only a handful of running plays prior to taking a 21-0 lead early in the second period.

The Cougars are off this week, and begin play in Region 6-AAAAAA Sept. 5 at North Forsyth.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Gene and Carolyn Fouts returned to the Newtown Park Community Clubhouse – the site of their wedding reception – to mark their 60th wedding anniversary with family and friends Aug. 16.

On Aug. 17, 1954, the two wed at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Roswell, where Gene served as deacon for 58 years and church clerk for 48 years and Carolyn was a pianist and organist for 66 years.

Gene said that their great-est accomplishment was rais-ing their three children.

“[We saw] that they had a good education and succeeded in school and after school,” he said.

All the Fouts’ children pursued careers in education: Gary Fouts, a technical college administrator in Tennessee; Carol Pizza, a Lassiter High School assistant principal; and Stan Fouts, who was an assistant principal at two area high schools before he died of cancer in 2011.

The Fouts’ children, family and friends displayed photos of the original ceremony and the clubhouse in 1954 as well as original wedding gifts Carolyn had saved for six decades.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – One of Al-pharetta’s better-kept secrets was revealed Aug. 22 at a spe-cial meeting of the Alpharetta Business Association when the ABA unveiled plans for a $100,000 bronze sculpture for a city Veterans Memorial.

The ABA met at Georgia’s Own Credit Union on Wind-ward Parkway to make the special announcement. ABA member and City Councilman Donald Mitchell and Alpharetta Rotary President William Perkins jointly made the an-nouncement of the sculpture, which will be placed in the park behind the new City Hall in the Alpharetta City Center.

The $100,000 is expected to be raised in time for dedica-tion next year. The ABA kicked off fundraising efforts with a $10,000 donation.

“As a board, we wanted to do something special for the new City Center,” said Mitchell.

The sculpture is to be named “The Defenders,” but it will honor all military veterans who served their country. The bronze memorial will depict two soldiers in combat uniform taken from the Afghan War, but they are not representa-tive of any one unit or any two individuals, Mitchell said.

“The artist, Kevin Cham-bers, interviewed military experts at Fort Benning in Columbus to get the details of the uniforms correct and see that their poses were militarily accurate. We worked hard to make sure the sculpture would be accurate,” Mitchell said. “But there are no identifying patches on their uniforms. We did not want to specify a particular unit. This is for all veterans.”

It was Perkins who brought the idea to the City Coun-cil. The city will provide the grounds and the maintenance, and the funds will be raised locally.

He said growing up in his hometown, he got to know a neighbor who served in the Pacific in World War II, and that man’s service particularly impressed him.

“The older I got, the more respect I gained for him and all veterans,” Perkins said.

“In 2004, our club began sending care packages to sol-diers overseas, and I thought that was a great way to show our support of the soldiers there,” Perkins said. “Then I thought we should do some-thing to honor all our veterans

– past, present and future.“I talked with the mayor

and City Council, and after the bond for the City Center passed, we began to make plans,” he said.

Several area sculptors who provided watercolor sketches of their ideas were interviewed for the commission. Cham-bers, who is an artist/sculptor, stood out and he was chosen.

“We visited four artists and asked for proposals. Kevin not only had a good bid, but he really connected with the idea of what we were trying to do,” Mitchell said.

Chambers spent six months working on maquettes (scale models) of the proposal. He would show them to the project committee and refine them until the current proposal was settled upon.

The memorial will be at the rear of the 5-acre park facing the back of City Hall. It is pro-posed to have a raised platform there suitable for programs such as a Veterans Day memo-rial service. It is envisioned that the colors will be raised at the “Defenders” statue.

“There will be a water feature in front of the memo-rial where the stream becomes a small pool. There will be a small bridge and the color guard will march across it to raise the flag,” Mitchell said.

At the unveiling, ABA Board member Alyx Korner spoke about remembering veterans such as her husband, Lt. Col. Bill Korner, who flew missions in Vietnam and in Desert Storm in Iraq. He was shot down more than once but always escaped to return to duty, Korner said.

“Where do we get such men to fight and preserve our free-dom?” she asked. “They never ask why, they just go and serve. But our nation must never forget.”

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – When the decision was made to commission an Alpharetta Veterans Memorial for the new City Center, the first order of business was to find the right artist for the job.

City Councilman Donald Mitchell said they could not be happier with their selection of Kevin Chambers.

Chambers is an Atlanta sculptor/artist who began formal training at the age of 12 and has studied in Italy. He won an apprenticeship under the renowned sculptor Martin Dawe at his Atlanta studio Cherrylion.He has gone on to make or collaborate in a number of important works, such as the World Athletes Column featuring six 8-foot figures of Atlas atop a 35-foot column. It was commissioned by the Prince of Wales Foundation for Architecture for the Olympics and is on Peachtree Street in Atlanta.

He also did the sculpture for the entrance to the $600 million Avalon mixed-use project that opens in October in Alpharetta.“When we contacted him, I think we knew almost immediately this was our guy,” said Mitchell.

“We interviewed multiple sculptors, but Kevin’s talent was superior. But beyond that, he seemed to be the guy who really knew what we were after.”

William Perkins was part of the selection party, and he agreed.

“Kevin not only had a good bid, but he connected with the idea,” Perkins said.What the selection committee was looking for was a moment in time, an image of soldiers caught in battle. Yet something that spoke to a larger statement about American veterans from all wars.

“We wanted the stance of men in battle. We wanted it to be emotional, so that you experience that moment with them – as opposed to just witnesses to it,” Mitchell said. “We want it to speak to not only veterans, but all of us.”

So Chambers’ vision came to two figures, each 7 feet and placed on a 2-foot pedestal. Chambers said he wanted it to remain in virtually human scale, so that it’s not only approachable by the public, but suggests the frailty of men in combat – nowhere to hide, just their comrades to rely on.

The sculpture will be entitled “The Defenders,” honoring all who served in defense of freedom.

“To be part of this is certainly an honor,” said Chambers at the dedication. “It’s been an incredible journey to get to this point. I can’t wait to cast the full-scale figures and see them come to life.”

The figures will be in bronze using the lost-wax method of casting. This is where a model of the sculpture is made of wax or some other resin and creates the mold for the molten bronze to be poured. When the mold is broken open, the wax mold is gone and the finished bronze remains.

It took more than a year of working on models to get the figures in their final form and win approval for the finished memorial.

When you think of the man who lived the American Dream, you often think of the Horatio Algers of history – self-made men who found success and lived the good life.

Jim Cowart rewrote that American Dream. Yes, he was a self-made man who found success, raised a beautiful family and was admired and respected by his peers. And I would be happy to have my book closed on that chapter.

But Jim Cowart was so much more than that. He did so much more than that.

He believed in sharing his prosperity and was generous beyond belief.

Most people who will read this will scratch their head and wonder who is this man I am writing about? Here’s what I know about the man.

He was a visionary who better than anyone I know saw the potential for great-ness in North Fulton. I don’t mean just the great subdivi-sions, the great schools, the great office buildings and the great wealth that would all converge on this forgotten little piece of Greater Atlanta.

But before I tell the story of how Mr. Cowart delivered unto us perhaps the greatest area metro Atlanta in which to live, I want to say just a little of his other great works.

He began his career as a homebuilder. He built good homes and made a good liv-ing. He should have, he built 6,000 of them.

But he was always restless to do more – because he could see farther than everyone else.

In 1968, he assembled 91 acres from the Spruill family on I-285 just east of Roswell Road. That became Perimeter Mall. He bought another 38 acres for the Marriott Ho-tel and Class A office. That marked the beginning of Pe-rimeter Center. When he was done, he donat-ed millions to 38 churches in the area because, he told me, there would be a lot of change in that area and they would need the money to grow.

He was a great supporter of the YMCA. He liked what they did there and how they did it, so he gave the Y ample opportunity to grow in his patch of the woods.

In 1972, he took his fam-ily’s homestead – 18 acres of it – that was situated on Ashford-Dunwoody Road and donated it to the YMCA. A few years later became The Cow-art Family/Ashford Dunwoody YMCA.

Not done, Mr. Cowart donated the acreage for the Windsor Parkway Soccer Complex a year later at Wind-sor Parkway and Peachtree-

Dunwoody Road. Mr. Cowart then in1997

donated another 10 acres in Gwinnett County which be-came the seed for the Robert D. Fowler Family YMCA in Peachtree Corners in 1997. He also led the steering com-mittee in a $2.7 million capi-tal campaign.

He had one more YMCA left in him. In the latter 1990s, he led the campaign to build the Johnny Isakson-Alpharetta YMCA on North Point Parkway, leading a $2 million capital campaign and helped procure the major land donation for the Y property there.

Dan Pile, vice president of operations at the YMCA Metro Atlanta put it simply.

“The man was a giant. It would be hard to calculate the contribution he has made to his community,” Pile said. “Jim’s legacy will strengthen local communities for gen-erations to come through the property, buildings and fi-nancial base that support the Y’s mis-sion.”

He donat-ed the land to found Atlanta Bap-tist College which he led to merge and make possible the Mercer Univer-sity Atlanta campus. He was Mercer trustee for many years, and later made Life Trustee.

I would get a call from Mr. Cowart on occasions to come to see him at his office. Although it was a request, it felt more like a summons. Usually, there would be an object lesson he felt I should understand. Or he would point out how a story I had covered had devi-ated from True North in some way.

I suppose he thought I needed schooling, but I like to think I was worth the effort.

It was at one of these (well

more than one) heart-to-hearts he told me the story of how North Fulton came to be nothing less than the stron-gest most vibrant community in metro Atlanta today.

This is not a story of Jim Cowart the philanthropist. This is the story of Mr. Cow-art’s vision, business acumen, political understanding and just pure mean stubbornness. Without it, who knows what this area would be?

In the early 1980s, North Fulton was an unopened oys-ter. Mr. Cowart had the vision to see the pearl inside.

He had the idea to build a gated golf community with executive housing that would bring the CEOs, the CFOs who could then be sold on the idea of moving their head-quarters north of the Chat-tahoochee. Rather than be commuters, they would build near their domiciles.

As North Greater Fulton Chamber of Commerce Presi-dent Brandon Beach put it in 2013 when the chamber made Mr. Cowart Citizen of the Year:

“He understood early on that good jobs follow good development. Everywhere you look in North Fulton you see Jim Cowart’s fingerprints.”

Country Club of the South was to be that first pearl. It would be the first gated golf community in Georgia. But al-

most didn’t happen.

The Ful-ton County Com-mission Chairman Michael Lomax had cham-pioned moving the route of Ga. 400 from Gwinnett to North Fulton, providing the spine for develop-ment that would come North Ful-ton’s way.

Mr. Cowart already had UPS executives

considering moving UPS headquarters to Atlanta and living in this new idea called Country Club of the South.

Then one day he was inspecting the property and found two strangers looking at it. Investigating he found they were from the Atlanta Water Department and were scout-ing area for a North Fulton Reservoir. More to the point, they had decided on Mr. Cow-

art’s property for the site.This set a number of

things in action from Mr. Cowart. First, he would hire experts to find the best place for a reservoir which he was sure was further north on Old Alabama Road. That done, He approached Chairman Lomax with the idea that, as he put it, “Fulton County needs to be in the water business.”

There was sound logic in this. North Fulton was poised for development. Mr. Cowart’s plan was persuasive that a better site could be assembled at a lower cost than the CCOS site.

And with Fulton provid-ing the water, it would not be subject to the frailties of the Atlanta Water Department. Lomax saw the merit of the plan quickly enough and be-gan to lay the groundwork.

Politics being what is, and with lawsuits looming, it was decided in 1986 that Fulton and Atlanta would partner on this creating a separate water system, today known as the Atlanta Fulton Water Resourc-es Commission.

It is hardly causes anyone to blink today, but this would have huge and far-reaching consequences that affect us today. First, it provided a wa-ter supply that was indepen-dent of the Atlanta Water Sys-tem. Plagued for decades with problems four mayors (Sam Massell, Maynard Jackson – twice – Andrew Young and Bill Campbell) never addressed.

When Mayor Shirley Franklin finally did address them, the cost so far has been in the billions of dollars.

Had North Fulton become solely Atlanta Water System rate payers, we would be help-ing to pay off those billions for years to come. Instead, Fulton County has the lowest water rates in the entire metro area.

Meanwhile, Country Club of the South was a huge suc-cess fostering other gated developments such St. Ives and St. Marlo in Johns Creek that made North Fulton an elite address.

Mr. Cowart knew Class A office buildings would one day find their way to North Fulton. His Royal 400 devel-opment on North Point Park-way brought other national developers such as Ross Perot and Holder Corp. and tall buildings began to dot North Point Parkway and Windward Parkway.

Today, North Fulton is its own submarket for Class A office development with more than 27 million square feet developed.

This is the lake on which North Fulton floats. It has the finest schools, wonderful neighborhoods and subdivi-sions. It is a growing exurban community of more than a quarter-million people.

Did Jim Cowart do all of this alone? Certainly not. Would the North Fulton we know still be here in this incarnation if Jim Cowart had not come this way? Almost as-suredly not.

He is a man not well known in the community he did so much to shape. But a giant shadow falls across North Fulton, and Jim Cowart cast it.

Making a difference in your local community

Can the older generation lead the way on community farm movement?

Millennials have short at-tention spans. We only read headlines – or Tweets. We choose the path of least resis-tance, whether that’s liking a photo over making a phone call, sending a Snapchat over writing a postcard or checking Facebook while conversation lulls at dinner.

Some say we are materialis-tic, self-involved and entitled.

Those last three descrip-tors are typically hurled from previous generations. They don’t understand the world we grew up in. Neither, really, do Millennials.

Who does? When you buy food today, where does that money go? Where did the

product come from? What hap-pened in between? How much did the farmer get paid?

If I told you that your money helped subsidize CEO bonuses or open a slaughter-house in China, you’d have no idea whether I was telling the truth. I might be, for all anyone knows. Ultimately, the system grew too big, too complex and

too interconnected to possibly grasp from where you and I stand on the ground level.

The food system hasn’t made sense for 40 years. No Millennial – myself included – can possibly sit there and say what the world will be like when we provide our own food. For that kind of advice, we need to lean on older genera-tions.

In part, learning from my grandfather guided me toward sustainability and healthy food. He joined the Northern Ireland Livestock Commis-sion in the 60s, selling beef and lamb around the world. Northern Ireland is one of the few places in the world where it’s cheaper to grow grass than corn, allowing cows, sheep and goats to eat natural diets.

Corn-fed beef, on the other hand, leads to liver disease in cows and increased rates of heart disease for people consuming such products, because cows are not natural corn eaters.

These thoughts came to me as I met with leaders at Cham-

brel at Roswell, a senior living facility. They have a hand-ful of raised beds filled with tomatoes and squash on their 35-acre facility.

As with many other un-productive urban structures, ideas immediately popped into my head.

Could the four water foun-tains be turned into aquaponic tanks? Could vertical gardens hang from every staircase? Could sheep help trim back the tree line to add room for more plots and a community garden?

Whether Chambrel is able to pull off the edible campus ideas we inadvertently dis-cussed over lunch depends on a number of factors, including corporate support, city support and money.

The residents must also invest and take ownership of the project.

Community farms at senior living facilities would go a long way to boosting the health of our seniors, not only reducing the immense medical expenses seniors face, but help them re-

claim a healthy, active lifestyle through direct involvement in a vital aspect of society: food and nutrition. Gardens provide a sense of purpose, particular-ly important for a society that often isolates undesirables, including seniors.

Community gardens would provide a great avenue for boosting intergenerational ties.

People are more connected today than ever before, yet so far removed from one another. As we build a technologically based future, people must keep in mind ways to help us stay connected to nature.

We need smarter ways to efficiently grow food locally by harvesting sustainable energy and developing urban environ-ments for multi-purpose use.

Chambrel at Roswell has the potential to model what this future might look like – perhaps, quite a bit like child-hood.

DEATH NOTICES

According to employees of The Diner at North Point, an employee, Perry Shae Cloer, 39, of Old Dogwood Road, Roswell, was allegedly changing his tip amounts on receipts.

While Cloer is accused of stealing for at least two days, he had been employed for two months. When he was confronted by his manager, Cloer allegedly ran away from the building.

Police found Cloer walk-ing down the street and he again ran as police tried to

speak with him. When they caught him, police found a crack pipe and 10 pills on him.

Cloer allegedly admitted to taking money the entire time he worked there. He was charged with felony theft by taking, posses-sion of Schedule II drugs, possession of drug-related paraphernalia and interfer-ence with government prop-erty when an officer broke his radio.

ments, noting the current for-mat is punitive to teachers.

“We have to evaluate the Milestones and see if we are providing the information that is necessary for our teachers to be successful and for our students to learn,” said Wilson. “We test, test, test, test way too much.

Whatever assessment we use, we need to make sure we are using that tool correctly.”

Both candidates also ad-dressed the controversy in the Fulton School System over the math curriculum.

A question from the audi-ence asked if the candidates

would support funding to de-velop assessments for both in-tegrated and traditional math.

Currently, the state only supports the integrated path, but Fulton is pushing for a traditional option as well.

Wilson indicated she sup-ported both options, but indi-cated finding the money could be difficult in lean budget times.

Woods said the proposal from Fulton was fair and prob-able.

“We should work together to support our local school sys-tems and as your next school superintendent, my intent is to make sure we reach the goals,” Woods said.

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other busi-nesses 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.
