FULTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Katha Stuart, a longtime vol-unteer in the local education community, has been named to the Fulton County Board of Education to fill out the unex-pired term in District 1. She replaces former board member Linda Schultz who resigned after moving out of the district.
Stuart was selected from a pool of four applicants follow-ing interviews by the current six members of the Fulton School Board. She will serve out the remaining 14 months of Schultz’s term ending Dec. 31, 2016, when an elected can-didate is seated.
Stuart’s selection will be finalized at the board meeting Oct. 13. District 1 covers pri-
marily Roswell and parts of Alpharetta, and includes the Centen-nial, Roswell and Milton high school clusters.
“Katha Stuart is well known and well respected in the District 1 community. We are excited about her experience and the new perspectives she will bring to our governance work,” said Linda McCain, president of the Fulton School Board.
A 20-year resident of Dis-trict 1 and parent of two teen-agers who attend Roswell High School, Stuart has been an active volunteer in the Fulton School System since her chil-dren first started kindergarten at Mountain Park Elementary.
She served in numerous PTA positions at Mountain Park and Crabapple Middle

Gun stolen from unlocked carMILTON, Ga. – A Tramore Place resi-dent reported a handgun was stolen from his car Oct. 2.
The victim told police he left the gun in his truck when he parked it overnight at his residence. When he re-turned the following morning, he found the door standing ajar and the center console open. A handgun, a Smith & Wesson .380, was missing.
The vehicle was reportedly left un-locked.
Dog walker, pot smoker
ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A 17-year-old man was arrested Sept. 27 after allegedly walking his dog through his neighbor-hood while smoking a joint.
According to police, someone called 911 around 7 p.m. about a young man on Lowe Lane and Old Roswell Road walking a dog and smoking marijuana.
When police arrived they found a man matching the description of the suspect sitting on a green power box holding a McDonald’s bag. When ques-tioned, the young man had a jar with suspected marijuana in the food bag.
Stolen cardsused around townALPHARETTA, Ga. – A team of thieves is suspected in stealing a woman’s purse and going on an hourlong spend-
ing spree.The victim told police she had lunch
at Panera Bread on North Point Park-way July 31, paid for her meal and, when she was eating, left her purse open on the back of her chair. About an hour later, the victim’s husband called to say there was unusual activity on the credit cards. Someone had visited several local stores – Target, Marshalls and Nordstrom – and in total bought over $2,200 in goods. A check of sur-veillance footage showed several people using the cards to buy goods.
Stolen ID gets manin court trouble ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A Norcross man received a strange phone call Sept. 25. He was wanted for missing a court date stemming from an arrest.
According to the man, he was never arrested and the suspect used his name and ID.
The victim contacted police and saw a photo of the suspect who was ar-rested – it was a former friend of his, identified as Eric Gerard Rivers, 22, of Lawrenceville. The victim told police Rivers had used his name and personal information during the arrest.
Police rescinded the warrant for the victim’s arrest, replacing it with one for Rivers.
Don’t accept checks from unknown sourceALPHARETTA, Ga. – An elderly couple received a mysterious check in the mail for nearly $9,000. It was determined to be fake. The victims’ daughter told police they received a check in the mail from FKI Acquisition group for $8,900.
They did not know why they re-ceived the check but nevertheless at-tempted to deposit the check into their
bank. The bank told them it was fake and that there was no money available.
Police advised the victims not to ac-cept or send funds from strangers.
Stolen tag results in parking ticketsALPHARETTA, Ga. – A Suwanee man reported his license plate is being used by someone that is getting him parking tickets downtown.
The victim told police he sold his car Aug. 20 but did not remove his license plate. Since then, he has received four parking tickets from Park Atlanta con-cerning the illegally parked car.
Fake IDs, credit cards land man in jailMILTON, Ga. – A Snellville man was arrested Sept. 28 after he allegedly tried to use a fake or stolen ID to open a bank account.
Police were called to the Navy Fed-eral Credit Union on Windward Park-way after Richardson Boucard, 32, of Snellville, tried to open a bank account using a possible fake ID.
Staff of the bank said that, while the photo on the Florida driver’s license matched Boucard, his signature did not match.
When police arrived, they ques-tioned Boucard, who said the license was his and that he was dropped off at the bank by a friend.
Officers found this friend and another man at the neighboring KFC having lunch.
A search of Boucard turned up an-other Florida license bearing a different name, as well as numerous credit and debit cards, all having different names on them.
Boucard was arrested on ID fraud, having a fake ID and forgery.
Local dentist loses license, victim loses moneyALPHARETTA, Ga. – A resident is out both a tooth and several thousand dol-lars after prepaying a local dentist’s of-ficer for a procedure only to find out the dentist had his license suspended.
The victim told police that she went Feb. 27 to Avanti Dental on Old Milton Parkway to see Dr. Hossein Mohamma-dizadeh to set up a root canal proce-
dure. She was told the process would take
several months. She used a credit card to pay the $4,000 bill and the next day had a tooth taken out.
She returned in July to the dentist to continue the work and was told Mo-hammadizadeh was out of the country. Over the following months, the victim
said the office began dodging her calls. She then found out Mohammadiza-
deh had his license suspended in early July after allegedly being caught by an inspector personally using nitrous oxide.
Police informed the patient that this is a civil matter, and she said she would pursue it.

CUMMING, Ga. — A prisoner escaped po-lice custody Sept. 30 after being transported to Northside Forsyth Hospital. The inmate, 23-year-old Ernest Jay Sparks, was being transported to Northside to receive medical treatment.
While at the hospital, Sparks asked to go to the bathroom. The officer stood outside and waited after removing Sparks’ handcuffs. After some time had passed, the officer knocked multiple times on the door and didn’t get a reply. He then had to ask the hospital to un-lock the door. They didn’t find Sparks in the bathroom and the officer concluded he must have climbed out through the ceiling.
A few minutes later, a hospital employee yelled that she had found him in the bath-
room. The officer then handcuffed Sparks again and he was discharged from the hospi-tal.
During Sparks’ attempted escape, he reportedly climbed into the ceiling space from one restroom and traveled approximately 60 feet in the ceiling space from that restroom into another. Sparks damaged the ceiling tiles, the frame/support of the drop ceiling, a toilet seat cover dispenser, the air ducts and pos-sibly other unknown damages that were not observed at the time.
While being put back into a cell at the For-syth County Jail, Sparks tried to flee the cell, but officers were able to put him back inside.
He was charged with escape prior to con-viction and criminal damage second degree.

ROSWELL, Ga. – Another hurdle was cleared Oct. 12 for work to begin on the upcom-ing roundabout at Houze and Hembree roads.
The Roswell City Council unanimously approved an additional $99,000 for right-of-way funding to go to the project.
“This is an important inter-section and a congested one as well,” said Transportation Director Steve Acenbrak. “This [right-of-way acquisition] is the last piece of the puzzle.”
Along with a roundabout at the intersection of Houze Road (Ga. 140) and Hembree Road, the project will also construct a multiuse trail along the south side of Hembree Road for pe-destrian and bike use connect-ing to Hembree Park.
The city has thus far com-mitted to $400,000 in right-of-way and design work, about 20 percent of the total cost. The state has committed to the rest.
Overall, the project is ex-pected to cost about $5 million and be completed in fall of
2017.Other items discussed at
the meeting include a new townhome development and cameras on school buses.
Approval was given for the final plat of a new townhome
development in the heart of Roswell.
Sitting at the corner of Hill Street and Myrtle Street, the “Hill Street Commons” is pro-posed to have 24 townhomes on just over two acres of land.
Two U-shaped buildings will occupy the Myrtle Street side, with the houses arranged around two underground detention areas. On the Hill Street side will be eight row houses facing the street.
The homes will be between 1,300 and 3,900 square feet in size.
An intergovernmental agreement was approved with Fulton County to place camer-as on school buses that would watch and record drivers who
fail to stop when a school bus’s stop sign is out.
“Georgia has a very high ac-cident and violation number,” said City Administrator Kay Love. “The goal is to reduce the number of vehicles that pass the flashing stop arm.”
The city cites nationwide numbers that show a 30-40 percent drop in violations when such a system is in place.
A police officer will review the camera’s information and issue tickets based on the evidence.
Any revenues from tickets generated by the cameras will be split 50-50 between the city and the Fulton County School System.
A roundabout is proposed to go at the intersection of Hembree and Houze roads in Roswell.

ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell has begun work on a new sports field that it hopes will help those with disabilities get into sports.
The ground was broken
on a new adaptive therapeu-tic sports field at Waller Park Extension on Dobbs Drive. Set to open in the spring of 2016, the new field will feature a synthetic turf that will allow wheelchairs and walkers to move freely.
With the installation of this field, Roswell will be able to ex-pand their adaptive programs to include additional athletics such as youth baseball and softball, as well as enhance
the experience of sport and recreation for those individuals attending the Summer Friend-ship Camps.
Helping with the funding of the field was the Roswell Rotary Club, with a donation of $60,000.
Jim Coyle, president of the Roswell Rotary Club, said the donation was well worth it.
“There is no doubt that Roswell reaches about every needy segment of the popula-
tion [in sports]. But we found an under-
served population – kids not able to avail themselves of team sports without a facility,” he said. “I couldn’t be happier the club has embraced it.”
He said the field will be a physical representation of the good deeds in the community that the club routinely per-forms.
Beside the field will be a playground for special needs
children. Some of the funding came from the Rotary District 6900 and the estate of Kathy Myers of North Fulton Rotary.
In addition to Rotary, the Roswell Recreation Association donated $25,000, and a private donor has put forth $16,000 toward the project.
The remaining funds will be donated by the Friends of the Roswell Parks Inc.
The total cost of the field is estimated at $105,000.
Members of the Roswell City Council and Roswell Rotary Club break ground on a new adaptive therapeutic sports field at Waller Park Extension.

City Council Post 1 candidates
Name: Marcelo ZapataOccupation: Local small-business ownerFamily: Wife and one daughterWebsite: www.marcelozapata.infoPublic/candidate email address: [email protected] long have you lived in Roswell?
15 years.Why do you want to run for City Council?
I believe in community service. I’m running for Roswell City Council be-cause I want to give back to this com-munity that has supported my family, my business and me over the last 15 years. I’m also concerned about the direction the city’s real estate develop-ment and growth are taking. I believe we can grow in a smart and successful way without destroying the character of our historic and charming city and established neighborhoods.
I also believe, and this is very im-portant, that residents and small-busi-ness owners, especially those in East Roswell, need to have stronger repre-sentation on the Roswell City Council.What makes you the best candidate?
I am a small-business owner, and my business experience and approach to management will definitely comple-ment the experiences and strengths of existing members of the City Coun-cil. As a business owner, I know the importance and value of doing your homework before making big deci-sions. Sometimes politicians who have held office for a long time get into a pattern and forget that they are not in charge – they are representing thou-sands of people who trust in them to do their homework, understand the impact of their decisions on the people who elected them, and collaborate with the community. That’s what I will do
as a member of the City Council.
I also believe my personal background will be a benefit to the Council. I’m not a political insider, and I represent the diversity of people who have moved to Roswell the last five-10 years in
search of an exciting, appealing, safe, and peaceful place to live, work and raise the family.What goals do you wish to accom-plish if elected?
First and foremost I want to repre-sent the interests and the perspectives of the residents of Roswell. I want us to have smart, well-planned and con-trolled growth and redevelopment that doesn’t destroy many of the appealing elements of the city, and that does not place an undue burden on residents in established neighborhoods. I know we can grow in a way that offers what today’s homeowners want, without completely changing the character of stable areas of the city that have their own unique appeal. I also want to help small-business owners thrive in Roswell, because those businesses are the lifeblood and future of the city. I think a business-minded approach to city issues will help the City Council represent the people more effectively. I look forward to working with the other members of the Council and city de-partment heads to use smart analysis to make smart decisions. And I want to help our city government do a better job of keeping the community informed and communicate with the neighbors. The residents of Roswell have the right and a need to know what their govern-ment is doing.

14 yearsWhy do you want to run for City Council?
I want to serve on City Council to protect and enhance our quality of life. We need to ensure that Roswell con-tinues to be a unique, thriving com-munity with attractive neighborhoods, quality recreation, beautiful parks, creative arts and culture and excellent schools. What makes you the best candidate?
People often tell me that one of my strengths is my willingness to listen and to thoroughly evaluate issues before making a decision. Also, my background provides me with a strong neighborhood perspective and a thor-ough knowledge of design, business and government. I served as a board member and as president of my HOA. I have served nearly eight years on the City Council, two-and-a-half years on the Planning Commission, and on the Redevelopment Task Force. In busi-ness, I have over 25 years of experi-ence in real estate, and have managed a small business for 15 years. Addi-
tionally, I have an ar-chitecture degree and a Master of Business Administration. What goals do you wish to accomplish if elected?
I will accomplish my primary goal of protecting and en-hancing our quality
of life by ensuring sustainable devel-opment, protecting and investing in our natural resources and supporting our schools, service organizations and cultural activities.
I also plan to strengthen our local economy, promote redevelopment and improve transportation. One initiative I am currently pursuing is the cre-ation of a citywide network of walking and biking trails that complement our sidewalks, bike lanes and multiuse trails. Roswell has streams and creeks throughout the city that have unbuild-able buffers and floodplains. By utiliz-ing these areas for environmentally sensitive trails, we can create a series of linear parks or greenways around the city that can be used for recre-ation, trips to the grocery store or daily commutes.
This concept has already been embraced by a landscape architecture firm that has offered to create a master plan at no cost to the city.

11 yearsWhy do you want to run for City Council?
The Council has made good prog-ress in improving our infrastructure, making fiscally responsible choices and improving services. Through the implementation of the UDC and its guidelines, Roswell has a unique opportunity to balance progress while maintaining our character. Cities suc-ceed because of the vision and leader-ship of dedicated public servants. It is imperative that we have elected officials who understand the citizens’ needs to establish a solid foundation that will make Roswell an even bet-ter place to live, work and raise our families. What goals do you wish to accom-plish if elected?
Eliminating the reversible lanes on
Ga. 9 and redesign the intersection at Ga. 9/Riverside Road; initiating the River-side complete street project; completing the Holcomb Bridge Road/Ga. 400 inter-change improvements; leveraging all available tools and incentives to
revitalize/redevelop aging commercial centers/buildings, and create a work-able master plan for the NW/SW quad-rant located at Holcomb Bridge Road/Ga. 400. Please visit my website for a detailed listing of my vision/plans. What makes you the best candidate?
Twenty years of experience as a community advocate, working for two Fulton County Commissioners, serv-ing on Roswell’s Design Review Board, a member of former Commissioner Lynne Riley’s Water Reuse Task Force, appointment to State Senator John Al-bers’ Education Committee, and being your representative on City Council for two terms makes me the best candi-date for this position.

4 yearsWhy do you want to run for City Council?
Roswell is the best city in the metro Atlanta area — history, small-town charm, a wide choice of schools, parks, restaurants, the arts and great family neighborhoods with big backyards. Roswell is also an attractive place for business. And we can make it even more attractive by ensuring that our zoning encourages the best mix of business and residential growth. That is why recent rezoning decisions made by the current City Council are short-sighted, not the best plan for long-term growth. I am running because we need to change our direction from substan-tial density increases near neighbor-hoods to targeted redevelopment in our key corridors.What makes you the best candidate?
I have been very successful in the
financial industry and just finished the requirements for my MBA from Emory. On a regular basis I negotiate complex, long-term corporate agreements. I have a long track record of maximizing value for my firm while be-
ing known as a fair business partner. My business perspective is critical to make the right decisions to maximize Roswell’s value. I am a husband and a dad, a regular citizen. My family is invested in Roswell and I am the can-didate that will make sure our future is as rich as our past.What goals do you wish to accom-plish if elected?
I will honor our history. I will protect our neighborhoods. I will focus Roswell on a new strategic direction to increase redevelopment in blighted areas – let’s fix the areas that need it. This effort is so important to Roswell’s reputation and positioning in the metro area. I will bring a change in leadership and perspective, I will fight for residents so that we all benefit.

Name: Donald J. HortonOccupa-tion: Investment consultantFamily: Married to Gayle for 45 years, two adult children and five grandchildren.Website: www.donhorton-hearsyou.comPublic/candidate email ad-dress: [email protected] long have you lived in Roswell?
Almost 30 yearsWhy do you want to run for City Council?
There are three basic rea-son why I am running.
1. The newly adopted UDC has opened the flood-gates to substantially higher-density develop-ment. I want to protect our established family-oriented neighborhoods from this kind of project and protect our historic areas — which may require a major rewrite of the UDC.
2. All of the recent devel-opment projects are high-end, starting at more than $400,000. Young teachers, police officers, health care workers and others of mod-est incomes cannot afford to live in Roswell. I want to look for ways to encourage developers to redevelop some of our blighted areas and underutilized strip shopping centers to accommodate these professionals.
3. Our elected officials are not listening to resi-dents. When I am elected to the City Council, I promise to listen and be an advocate for the people. What makes you the best candidate?
I have a history of serving my community, including eight years as president of my homeowners association. I brought the subdivision from an unstable financial situation to long-term sur-plus.
I have been active in several rezoning issues and have become very familiar with the community angst as more projects affect their neighborhoods.
I have over 30 years of professional experience in the financial services industry, two degrees from the University of Michigan and have developed skills in research, planning and evaluation that are needed for making sound decisions.
Name: Ricky SpencerOccupa-tion: Roswell firefighter/fire chief, retiredFamily: Wife, Jo-Anna and her three children, 25, 18 and 8 years oldWebsite: www.voterick-yspencer.comPublic/candidate email address: [email protected] long have you lived in Roswell?
60-plus yearsWhy do you want to run for City Council?
September 2014, when I retired from serving as a Ro-swell firefighter for 39 years and the last 10 of those as chief, I began exploring op-portunities to continue to serve Roswell in a capacity where I could apply my years of experience and make a difference. When Post 3 opened up, it was the perfect opportunity.What makes you the best candidate?
As a 60-plus-year resi-dent of Roswell, coupled with a 39-year career serving the citizens of Roswell, I have unparalleled knowledge of this city and what makes it so special. I have qualifica-tions that no other candi-date for Post 3 can compare — managing a $6 million budget for the Fire Depart-ment, 10 years as a depart-ment head, vast knowledge of processes and experience knowing which ones work and which ones need to be improved upon, and years contributing to the commu-nity. I am the best candidate because I am “for” Roswell versus against "issues," which will come and go. What goals do you wish to accomplish if elected?
I have many ideas that I plan to work on when elect-ed and, with my knowledge of the departments within City Hall, I will be able to get to work immediately. My top three priorities are 1) to help manage tax dollars and ensure that taxpayers’ money is being used wisely, 2) better processes and time management of city projects, 3) to continue at the highest level, my life’s calling as a servant leader in Roswell, by making smart, meaningful, sustainable and sometimes tough decisions that will impact our community and citizens and determine the fate and future quality of life in Roswell.
Name: Nate PorterOccupa-tion: CEOFamily: Wife, two daughters and three dogsWebsite: www.vote-4nate.comPublic/candidate email ad-dress: [email protected] long have you lived in Roswell?
4 yearsWhy do you want to run for City Council?
I have watched the city spend money on vari-ous vanity projects while ignoring the more serious issues, like traffic conges-tion. The city has also since passed new zoning laws that will lead to an increase in population density. I want to see the city move in a more fiscally responsible direction that addresses the needs of the city before vanity proj-ects and I don’t want to see the land in the city given to well-connected developers.What makes you the best candidate?
I have over 14 years of experience as a business owner and entrepreneur. Together, my wife and I have built a business in Roswell that specializes in helping small-business owners and entrepreneurs manage their business finances by cutting unnecessary expenses and reducing operating costs. What goals do you wish to accomplish if elected? Reduce traffic, avoid high-density development and regain fiscal responsibility. Traffic congestion wastes time, money and increases pollution. By replacing cer-tain traffic lights with round-abouts, widening roads, add-ing turn lanes, implementing traffic light synchronization and removing bottlenecks we can reduce both traffic and pollution. Roswell also needs to embrace modern innova-tions such as ride-sharing platforms and autonomous vehicles to help further reduce traffic congestion and pollution.
We need to avoid high-density development which will only add to our already existing traffic problem and change the charm and character of Roswell. Finally, Roswell needs to be more fiscally responsible. We need to avoid penalizing residents and small businesses with unnecessary bonds and taxes to subsidize private corporations and well-con-nected developers.
Name: Shayne GrayOccupa-tion: De-velopment managerFam-ily: Wife, Amanda Website: ElectGray.comPublic/candidate email address: [email protected] long have you lived in Roswell?
10 yearsWhy do you want to run for City Council?
My family dates back eight generations in Roswell (my grandmother was a Coleman), so I guess you can say Roswell is in my DNA.
With that said, I can't help but to be alarmed by the massive amount of growth that is taking place in Roswell. In many cases, this growth is of the high-density variety. I am truly concerned with the vast con-sequences that this growth will have on our amazing city. What makes you the best candidate?
For the past 19 years, I have had to establish bud-gets, develop action plans and be held solely responsi-ble for their outcomes. With my career in business and my personal history of reha-bilitating real estate, coupled with over 165 years of family history in Roswell, I have a truly unique perspective and ability that is perfectly suited for the City Council of Roswell. What goals do you wish to accomplish if elected?
Very simple — Smart, controlled and educated growth; that will never undermine the character of Roswell.
Name: Kay HowellOccupa-tion: Process im-provement consultantFamily: Kay has a small, close-knit family – most are based in FloridaWebsite: www.kayforroswell.comPublic/candidate email address: [email protected] long have you lived in Roswell?
15 yearsWhy do you want to run for City Council?
I am a conscientious per-son whose goal is to help my community.
I love our city and the people that live here.
I am running for this office because the Roswell citizens deserve a person who is able to listen to them and help them resolve their concerns about the future of the city. What makes you the best candidate?
With my business knowl-edge (private and public sector) and ability to clearly listen to my clients, I am able to quickly identify and improve processes of an or-ganization to meet new goals and objectives.
I am very ready to bring those skills to the city of Roswell.
I understand, firsthand, the concerns of Roswell resi-dents. Responding to your concerns is the top priority for me.
I believe that govern-ment should be accountable, responsible and transparent for every citizen. As your representative on the City Council, I will be committed to supporting local deci-sions which are in the best interest of our families and businesses.What goals do you wish to accomplish if elected?
I am committed to serv-ing my community and leading by example. As the Councilwoman for the city of Roswell, this role will al-low me to be an even bigger advocate for the citizens of Roswell.
I will be a fighter for economic opportunity, smart community development, effective education and safer communities.
The Roswell City Council needs a representative who can activate and engage the community and work with the citizens to find the right solutions for us.

We Go The To Get You Back On The RoadEXTRA MILE
For month upon month, the daily news seems centered around the party politics and political infighting to jockey for position and establish doctri-nal bona fides in the coming presidential election.
It is politics without a soul, only a catechism.
Even the human tragedy of the displaced thousands of refugees fleeing death and de-struction in the Middle East is reduced to partisan politics.
Thomas Sowell, speaking recently on “The Sean Hannity Show,” said in reference to the Syrian refugee crisis that “taking in refugees fits with Obama’s desire to redistribute U.S. wealth and power.”
I had just finished watching a video of the refugees running across the border – the men, women and children with just the clothes on their backs flee-ing war- ravaged Syria and the horrible acts of ISIS.
I thought Sowell’s com-ments were appalling, inappro-priate and infuriating because it sounded like he was just using human misery to take a cheap political shot.
It was as if those families without a country or a future were of no consequence – as if the suffering of homeless children wasn’t real and the assault on human dignity, not to mention Christianity, was
somehow a political tool of the left.
It made me think about how much we seemed to have forgotten about our own his-tory.
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
- The New Colossus, Emma Lazarus, inscribed on the Statue of Liberty
Then Pope Francis arrives – the one who washes the feet of the poor and makes his grand entrance in a Fiat.
I won’t lie to you; I like this pope.
He refuses the trappings customarily assigned to the papacy and orders the Catholic Church worldwide to take in
as many refugees as possible – each church, each parish, each believer. He speaks to a joint session of Congress and tells them that we need to take care of the poor and disenfran-chised and quit destroying our environment.
He was not saying tax the rich and give the money to the poor. He was not saying the people who work need to take care of the people who delib-erately choose not to work. He was not saying enable every-one.
He said that we need to take care of each other as best we can and that it needs to be a priority – one bigger than making money or owning ma-terial things.
Francis is saying that if we finish destroying our water, our air, our flora and fauna, then all that humankind has achieved is nothing.
He is trying to tell us to think about what is really im-portant to us individually and collectively. We must realize that our individual decisions have an impact on everyone, not just ourselves.
John Boehner, House Speaker, stands behind Fran-cis in tears during the entire joint session. He resigns from Congress the next day.
Is it possible that Boehner heard this pope’s message and
decided he could not follow the path that Francis is showing us and remain in office?
I don’t know but it sure is quite a coincidence.
Of course Francis is criti-cized during and after his visit as being a “Marxist/Socialist” pope. He is criticized for not taking a stronger stand against gay marriage.
One of my old friends dis-counted his trip because he did not condemn abortion. I heard comments about how effective his “publicity stunt” was and how choreographed his trip was.
“He’s not my pope. He’s Catholic,” my friend said.
Really? Have we as a coun-try really become this jaded, this selfish, this blind?
I was talking to another friend this weekend and I told him that one of the issues that makes our world so difficult today is that we really don’t know who or what we can trust.
We really don’t know who will tell us the truth no matter what. And because we are in this situation, we also don’t have leaders who we can count on.
And without leaders we are like a rudderless ship.
We — the United States — used to lead and the rest of the world looked to us for that
leadership and support. We’ve gotten distracted and forgotten what we stand for and who we are.
I am reminded of something written by F. Scott Fitzgerald that I found many years ago and have never forgotten.
He wrote this about our country:
“France was the land. Eng-land the people. But America,having about it still that quality of the idea, was harder to utter. We saw it in the graves of Shiloh and the tired, drawn, nervous faces of its great men – and in the country boys dying in the Argonne for a phrase that had become empty before their bodies withered in the grave. It was a willingness of the heart.”
We are still that America but we have to remember. We still have that “willingness of the heart” and we still are ready and willing to lead and fight for what is right and just.
So we need to listen – and trust – when someone like Francis comes along to remind us who we are and what is important.
That seldom happens and it is a divine gift that we cannot afford to ignore or miss. We can do this, but we have to change and work together to get back on course.
Pope Francis’ message resonates in America

In 2015 I resolve to no longer
allow to defi ne me!
Beginning with loan appli-cations on Oct. 3, the Consum-er Financial Protection Bureau is implementing new and improved mortgage rules that will keep you more informed on your mortgage loan details and the closing costs associ-ated with your home purchase. These changes could have a significant impact to the time frames for closing loans to buy a property.
The CFPB was created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act to help finance markets work by making rules more effective, by consistently and fairly enforcing those rules, and by empowering consumers to take more con-trol over their economic lives. Mortgages are complex trans-actions that may include risky features, so the bureau has issued a new rule that will sim-plify and improve disclosure forms for mortgage transac-tions, thereby better protecting consumers.
The new rules require ear-
lier, simpler and more disclo-sure information to the buyer about the costs associated with the loan.
The rules require that the buyer will have three days to review the new closing disclo-sure form prior to closing.
No exceptions. This gives the buyer the opportunity to review the disclosures, time to ask questions and deposit funds for closing. This also means that any material changes will restart the clock for a new three-day review period. There will be no more last-minute changes at the closing table under the new rules.
The impact of the new rules are expected to change the normal purchase contract timeline (from full acceptance to the time your purchase is complete) from approximately 30 days to 45 days.
Very complex transactions may require even more time. Simultaneous closings, stacked contingencies and other com-plicated transactions may not be as easily accommodated by some lenders and closing and title companies.
Your real estate agent can help guide you to a team best equipped to handle those unique situations.
Under the new rules, the lender plays a more significant role in the disclosure process. In the past, usually the clos-ing attorney originated all the documents that had to do with the fees and closing costs.
After Oct. 3, a new clos-ing disclosure form (replacing the HUD-1) will typically be prepared by the lender. This means more communication between the parties supporting your purchase is critical to an on-time closing.
If you are buying or sell-ing a property, you should ask good questions of your real estate agent, lender and clos-ing attorney. How well do they understand the new mortgage rules? Do we have enough time to get everything done before the expected closing date? How would all the parties involved
(real estate agent, lender, clos-ing attorney) work effectively together to get the transaction closed? Do you know who to call if escalations are needed with the other parties involved?
The new rules will help standardize documents and disclosure of fees across all lenders, making it easier for you to compare as you shop for a loan. As you choose a lender, take into consideration not only the rates and fees but also how well prepared the lender is to accommodate the new rules and work effectively with the other parties involved in the transaction.
The new mortgage rules will ultimately be beneficial for
consumers because it is always better when there is a clear understanding of the process and expenses early in the transaction.

ROSWELL, Ga. – A 21-year-old man riding a bike has died after a collision with a school bus Oct. 10.
According to police, Cody Markel Dawson, 21, of Johns Creek, was riding his bicycle about 9:30 a.m. on Holcomb Bridge Road when he turned southbound onto the northbound Ga. 400 exit ramp, facing oncoming traffic.
Roswell Police Department spokes-man Zachary Frommer said Dawson
made a sharp turn at the bottom of the ramp. He was hit by a school bus from the Woodward Academy carrying the school’s football team. No students were injured.
Frommer said it was unclear why Dawson was on the highway.
He died of his injuries Sunday, Oct. 11. The crash is still under investiga-tion, Frommer said.

ROSWELL, Ga. – A Roswell woman was attacked Oct. 11 as she was jogging near the Chattahoochee River.
The victim, a 51-year-old woman, was running on the trails along Riv-erside Road, near Northside Drive in Roswell at 7 a.m., before dawn. She had a headlamp on, according to Zach-ary Frommer, with the Roswell Police Department.
She passed a man on the trail and was then hit on the back of the head with something, knocking her down. The suspect continued on his way.
“He just walked away,” said From-
mer.Frommer said the victim called 911
and was taken to North Fulton Hospital where she was treated for her injuries and released. She was back out run-ning Monday morning.
He said the victim was aware of her surroundings and had a phone with her. He advised all joggers to follow this example.
“Be aware and be ready,” he said. “Have a partner, especially in the dark, and don’t have your headphones in so you can’t hear your surroundings.”

ROSWELL, Ga. - On Monday, Sept. 21, the non-profit organization, Sunshine on a Ranney Day revealed a home make-over for Roswell residents, the Vaughter family.
Co-founders of Sunshine on a Ran-ney Day, Peter and Holly Ranney, spent weeks transforming 6-year-old Braeden Vaughter’s bedroom and living/kitchen space into a place that accommodates the family’s needs.
Braeden was born with Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome, which can cause epilepsy and pervasive developmental disorders, enduring chronic gastrointestinal pain, seizures and developmental delays in cognition and physical performance.
Once the Vaughter family was cho-sen through the Sunshine on a Ranney Day’s application process, the remodel-ing began.
It included a padded room to reduce injuries from loss of balance during playtime as well as a deluxe handcrafted padded bed.
Lockers were placed in front of the floor length windows so that Braeden did not fall into the window. The theme was a car garage.
In addition, to help him get around the home independently while remain-ing safe, rails were added to the walls
leading to the stairs and between the kitchen and living room where he plays with his younger siblings, Molly and Reed. Sponsor Mohawk Flooring donat-ed carpet for the living room to replace the hard wood floors.
“Sunshine on a Ranney Day is a wonderful, giving organization, and we couldn’t be more thankful for Braeden’s makeover.
He is loving his new room and space in our living room.
Sunshine on a Ranney Day gave us the blessing of being able to keep Braeden safe while giving him more independence in our home, and for that gift we are forever grateful.
We couldn’t be more proud to be apart of the SOARD family,” said Braeden’s mother, Leyna Vaughter.
Thanks to other sponsors such as Randall Paulson Architects, Reliable Heating and Air and others, Sunshine on a Ranney Day is able to transform homes for deserving families such as the Vaughters to accommodate their needs and help them feel comfortable and relaxed.
Sunshine on a Ranney Day relies 100 percent on donations from the pub-lic and the generosity of partners who perform work on the makeovers at little to no cost.

MILTON, Ga. – Milton’s Parks and Recreation Director Jim Cregge is all smiles as the city’s new park is ready to be used again.
After 14 months of con-struction, Bell Memorial Park is ready to host games.
“I’m thrilled for the city that this project is open,” said Cregge. “This is one more step in developing programs and facilities in the city.”
He noted most departments within the city government contributed to the completion of the park.
While the lacrosse, football and baseball fields are open to
the public’s use, the park itself is still closed, with parts under construction. The fields open Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. and are open all day on weekends
The $9.9 million park expansion included taking the park from 18 acres with four baseball fields to an over 36-acre multiuse facility with both passive and active recreation options.
The new park has four
dedicated diamond fields with center field dimensions of 190, 200, 200 and 290 feet. There are also two rectangular fields lined for football and lacrosse. The second field can also be set up as a 200-foot, fifth diamond field. A new conces-sion building will serve meals and snacks as well as provide meeting space. Trails around the site will be both cement and ADA-compatible as well as mulched and more natural.
The opening of the park was delayed from the late sum-mer due in large part to rains and other inclement weather.
During the construction,
the fields were closed to base-ball teams and other sports. Their programs had to move elsewhere for the duration of construction. Now, Cregge said they have fields again.
“I’m excited the kids can play on their home fields again,” he said.
Foresite Group master planned and designed the project, with Astra Group Inc. completing construction of the facility.
The park is the city’s first recreational park to be built. Bell Memorial Park is located at 15245 Bell Park Road in Milton.

Alcon has been a mainstay among Georgia businesses, investing $500 million and creating 550 jobs.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Oct. 8 was World Sight Day celebrated by Alcon in Johns Creek, and the best sight for the visiting Gov. Nathan Deal was the sight of the world’s leading contact lens maker finishing the second phase of a $500 million expansion of its cam-pus in Technology Park that is adding 550 jobs.
Deal came to Alcon to congratulate the company on its expansion and to offer personal thanks to the company for its commitment to being a manufactur-ing partner in Georgia. At the time of the 2011 merger of Novartis (of which Ciba Vision was a division) with Alcon, China and Singapore were making strong overtures to Alcon to move the manufacturing site overseas.
Instead, Alcon elected to not only stay but make a half-billion-dollar investment in the Johns Creek site.
“Alcon has been a mainstay among Georgia busi-nesses, investing $500 million and creating 550 jobs,” Deal said. “It is one of the most successful companies in the world.”
Deal came to make that announcement on World Sight Day, joining Alcon in an effort to raise public awareness for those affected by blindness or visual impairment.
“Alcon was one of the first companies to partici-pate in my High Demand Career Initiative, providing us with valuable insight into the needs of their future workforce. Today, we celebrate Alcon’s advancements and look forward to their continued growth in Geor-gia.”
In the state’s efforts to maintain its ranking as the No. 1 state in which to do business, one of its main goals is to deliver an educated and trained workforce for 21st century jobs.
One tangible sign of the state’s efforts to encour-age business development in Georgia is the near-completion of the Alpharettta-North Fulton Technical College slated to open soon in Alpharetta.
“We have taken significant action at the legisla-tive level to create a workforce to meet the needs of
today’s businesses and industries,” Deal said. “And we did it by asking business leaders first what it was they needed.”
Other actions have included tax reform, such as removing the cost of the tax on energy for businesses, and regulatory reform.
Deal said he and the Legislature are working to change the bureaucratic culture of “just say no” to one of “how can we turn this into a yes?”
The state is also spending more on education – a higher percentage of the total budget than ever before, he said.
Robert Meyers, Alcon’s manufacturing general manager at Johns Creek, said his company has a mission to help the 285 million people worldwide who have some sort of vision problem. He said Alcon has a plan for that sad statistic.
“Eighty percent of those people can be treated – 96,000 in Georgia alone,” Meyers said. “Our goal is to eliminate those vision problems by 2020.”
Alcon is a company that can make that kind of difference. In 2014, it served 260 million patients with
eye care.As for the expansion here in Johns Creek, Meyers
noted after the 2011 merger, Alcon could have taken the plant anywhere to expand. But the company was impressed with the commitment of state and local of-ficials as well as the nearby colleges, universities and technical schools.
There were ample reasons to stay, Meyers said.“Alcon is the global leader in eye care, and here in
Johns Creek, we have more than 1,700 individuals focused on the production, R&D and distribution for our game-changing contact lens brands like Dailies Total 1,” said Meyers. “Our site’s recent growth is a reflection of our innovation and continued growth in the contact lens industry, as well as the many ben-efits that operating in the state of Georgia provides.”

Do your plans for next year involve recruiting and hiring new sales pro-fessionals to help you grow sales in your small business? Do you have a defined process you will use to identify the best candidates, and make sure that when you make a hiring decision you are getting the talent you want? Growing your sales team is often required to grow sales, and it all starts with recruiting and hiring the best tal-ent possible.
Before you can identify potential sales candidates, you need to have a business development plan that includes your goals and objectives, strategies, tactics and activities that this sales resource will be responsible for.
Once this is created, it will help you develop a job description that out-lines not only the job responsibilities, but also the skills and experience you are looking for from candidates.
With a documented job descrip-tion, you can forward this to recruiters who earn their money by identifying candidates based on what you are looking for. As recruiters search for candidates, you can begin the process of conducting phone interviews to
screen and select those that you’d like to interview in person.
In-person interviews should be used to not only learn more about the candidate’s background and experi-ence, but also their skills, qualifica-tions and accomplishments as they relate to what you are looking for. Once the best candidate is hired, you should quickly provide them with an orientation and integrate them into your business so they can get off to a fast start.
While this process is very time consuming, selecting the right candi-dates who will be the most successful in generating sales will help you to continue to grow your small business.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Two years ago, one of the Alpharetta city council elections was decided by a mere seven votes. In local elections that already have small turnouts, the margin of victory or defeat can be miniscule.
That is where Voterworkz can help.“You can win an election by the
number of people in your car,” said Dale Sizemore, co-founder of Voter-workz.
Sizemore and fellow founder Jim Gilvin began Voterworkz to help local-level political campaigns be more efficient.
Using the state’s voter rolls, the pair has created a product that can break down these voters into likely voters, households and political party as well as provide demographic infor-mation such as gender and race.
All this information can be used to target messaging during a campaign.
“If you are lucky, 12 percent of voters turn out for an election,” said Gilvin. “If you hit every door, 80 per-cent of those people won’t come out on election day. Sending mailers and knocking on the doors of people who don’t vote is a waste of everyone’s time. We help you be more effective.”
Targeting a message can be impor-tant when deciding on what expenses to make and where.
“If you have $1,000 for a mailing campaign, you want to target your message. Whose doors do I knock on?” asked Sizemore. “You can send two sets [of mailers] to the top 500 people rather than once to 1,000.”
The idea was sparked by Gilvin, himself a politician and Alpharetta City Council member, as he attended some of the city’s entrepreneur meet-ings, where local startups can gather to swap ideas and experience.
“I started thinking it’s a pain to run local election campaigns and they
cost a lot to run,” Gilvin said. “It’s not rocket science but it can be difficult to do. Can I work with someone with a technology background to put a cam-paign in a box?”
It turns out that Sizemore was that person.
With two employees, the company is small and nimble, with low over-head. Sizemore handles much of the technical side while Gilvin handles product development. Both share mar-keting duties.
In business for about a year and a half, the guys of Voterworkz are work-ing on improving their methods and figuring new ways of interpreting the data. They have helped several cam-paigns in the region already, always staying fairly busy, they said.
“Every six months there is some-thing [political] going on,” Sizemore said.
For now at least, Voterworkz is remaining focused on local elections – school boards, county and municipal elections.

Alpharetta planning project nets TSW chapter award
ATLANTA – TSW, an Atlanta-based, full-service planning, architecture and landscape architec-ture firm, has won three chapter awards from the Georgia Planning Association. The awards were announced at the organization’s fall conference in Savannah Sept. 10. The three TSW projects that were honored are: the Downtown Alpharetta Master Plan and Zoning Code, the Clarkston LCI 10-year Update and the South Downtown Atlanta MARTA Transit Stations Enhancement Plan.
For the award-winning project in Alpharetta, TSW served on a team that worked with the city to create a new downtown master plan to leverage the recent City Center development and promote greater connectivity between major activity centers while fostering increased economic sustainability. The process included a dynamic, hands-on approach
involving community leaders, property owners, business owners and residents.
The resulting plan included a roadway plan, bicycle/pedestrian paths, parking meter recommen-dations, a parking deck plan, stormwater system and downtown district plan.
TSW also crafted comprehensive plan amend-ments and design and development guidelines so the community vision could be implemented.

Commissioners OK hotel next to South Forsyth HSBy KATHLEEN [email protected]
CUMMING, Ga. — South Forsyth High School will soon have new next-door neighbors in the form of hotel visitors.
On Oct. 1, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners approved amending zoning conditions 4-1, with Brian Tam opposed, for a parcel off Peachtree Parkway. Tam said he remembers this zoning from 2004 and he initially suggested the BOC deny the amending. It died for lack of a second and was approved later. Cindy Jones Mills said she has heard from parents of South students who have heard or know of “bad things” that go on at that lot. She said she’s thankful that it will be put to better use.
Part of the pacel is planned to have
a 15,200-square-foot, four-floor, 120-room hotel. A bank, retail, Burger King and an Express Oil Change are also proposed for the 13.775-acre parcel. Attorney for the de-veloper, Ethan Under-wood, said they pared hotels down to specific companies such as Marriott, Starwood or Hilton that would be considered because of their “upper-mid” star rating.
“We had public responses that said they didn’t want a cheap or bad hotel that often leads to problems,” Under-wood said.
Underwood wanted to change the zoning condition language that pro-
hibited the following from being built next to a school: hotels or motel, bars, 24-hour businesses, electronic-game-playing centers, adult novelty or en-tertainment centers, pawn shops, pool halls or tattoo parlors. However, some citizens have expressed concerns about the proposed hotel because it would be next to South’s softball field on Ronald Reagan Boulevard.
“There are several tracks that were subject to this zoning,” Underwood said. “So what we want to do is specify that the hotel use will be exactly what is shown on the proposed applica-tion, and that’s the only portion of the property that will be allowed to have a hotel.”
The conditions were amended to allow a hotel that operates 24 hours. Underwood said they’ve talked with the
Forsyth Board of Education, which also has spoken on the subject before.
“We want this to be a safe develop-ment,” Underwood said. “We think this will be a significant improvement.”
The BOE suggested conditions that were approved, including: no weekly or monthly rental rates advertised, all guestrooms should be at least 250 square feet, rooms only accessible through a central hallway, and a fence.
The idea of a hotel at this location has been around since 2005, Under-wood said. He said there weren’t any public-participation comments from that time.
“Here we are 10 years later and the use of the property is showing it’s not being developed,” Underwood said. “This is a good, safe use. This will pro-vide a good use for this spot.”

Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker said naturally his city
is pleased to have a corporate citizen such as Alcon.
“Alcon’s global reach and cutting-edge innovation make it the leader in the eye-care industry,” Bodker said. “We are very happy with their decision
to expand in Johns Creek. We believe that not only are they a perfect fit for our diverse city, but they also serve as a great example of what makes our business community excep-tional.” Georgia Department of
Economic Development project manager Mary Ellen McClana-han represented the state on this project and worked closely with Georgia Power, Georgia Quick Start, the Technical College System of Georgia, the
University System of Georgia, the Metro Atlanta Chamber, Progress Partners and the Fulton County Development Authority. GDEcD’s workforce division also played a major role in this project.

Cumming Fair now held for 11 daysCUMMING, Ga. — It’s time once again for the Cumming Country Fair & Festi-val, which runs from Oct. 8 to Oct. 18. This year will mark the 21st year for the fair that began in 1995 with only five days and now has grown to an 11-day event.
The fair is boasted as an “affordable family outing” since admission is about the same as going to a movie. But, unlike the movies, the fair offers free attractions, concerts, exhibits, as well as discounted ticket prices on certain dates. Regular admission for adults is $7, students (age 5-18) are $3, and kids four and under are free. All parking is $3, including parking for those with disabilities.
Just thinking about the fair prob-ably makes your mouth water for cot-ton candy, fresh popcorn, funnel cakes and one of those giant turkey legs, and don’t forget the all-too-popular deep-fried Snickers or Oreos. Besides all those yummy treats, there is plenty of other fun and excitement to be found at the Cumming Country Fair & Festival. The famous James H. Drew Exposition returns with the world’s most progres-sive midway. With over 40 rides and numerous games, it will surely provide fun for all. There are also free concerts including Joe Diffie, as well as excit-ing ground acts that include several returning favorites, such as Brian Ruth Master of the Chainsaw, Oscar the Ro-bot and the North Georgia Petting Zoo
and Pony Rides. 2015 brings some new faces, too, such as Michelle’s Magical Poodles and Sea Lion Splash. The fair closes out with two nights of exciting bull riding events.

The Expeditionary STEM School
According to the U.S. Department of Education’s website, “it’s more important than ever for our youth to be equipped with the knowl-edge and skills to solve tough problems, gather and evalu-ate evidence, and make sense of information.
These are the types of skills that students learn by studying science, technology, engineering, and math—sub-jects collectively known as STEM.”
At Amana Academy in Alpharetta, “students are doing STEM with a purpose,” says the charter school’s principal, Cherisse Camp-bell. Students are using STEM to answer questions like, “how far does food travel
to get to my table?” and “can I build a solar-powered tiny house that a homeless person could actually live in?” They find the answers to these questions, and others like them, during semester-long, interdisciplinary Learning Ex-peditions that integrate all of their learning standards into exciting journeys that take kids and teachers out of the classroom and into the real world in their quest to find the answers.
Currently in its 10th year of operation, Amana is a tuition-free public charter school serving 750 students in grades K-8 in Fulton County. Tour dates are avail-able on their website at www.amanaacademy.org.

The small and structured en-vironment, along with uniforms, keeps students focused on their studies. Since there are little to no discipline issues, the faculty and administra-tion can utilize their time to teach and continually seek ways to improve their educational model.
The school considers development of the whole student as important as
academics. Physical education is a part of every
school day to keep students healthy and active. For a creative outlet, stu-dents take part in art, music, robotics, and computer classes every week. Many other enrichment opportunities are of-fered including free after-school clubs, band, orchestra, and top performing academic teams to develop student social skills.

The cities of Johns Creek and Alpharetta have seen a lot of changes
over the past 20 years and Peachtree Park Prep was right there growing along with the community, opening a second location merely 5 miles away from the Medlock Bridge location.

“We are very proud of the accom-plishments of our PPP students who have now graduated from some of the finest colleges in the country!
We often hear from parents of alum-ni that it all started with their “love of learning” fostered early at PPP”, states a proud Kay Paschal.

ROSWELL, Ga. – Georgia 6th Dis-trict Congressman Tom Price got short-circuited last week in his bid to become the house majority leader, but had his name associated with the house speaker’s job when House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy sud-denly backed out of running for the speaker’s job.
McCarthy is resuming his role as GOP majority leader in the House, leaving Price without an office to seek – unless it’s the speaker’s job.
And while Price was one of those suggested as an alternate candidate for speaker, Price scotched the idea soon after McCarthy hadbowed out.
Price has won praise for his leader-ship among all strata of the now di-vided Republican house members. He has consistently aligned himself with many of the House ultraconservative Freedom Caucus issues, yet winning favor with the House party leadership also. Thus he serves as budget chair-man on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
Price, a physician in private life, has earned a reputation since his days in the Georgia Senate as a party worker bee as well as a party theoreti-cian.
Although Price said he would not run for the speaker’s job, he would not close the door entirely.
“We need to come together as party and find the right person for the job. I am not going to run as a candidate. However, I would accept it if a consensus of the party offered it to me,” Price said.
In his statement released to the press he stated:
“Now is the time for our members to come together and have an honest conversation about how we unify our Conference. The best course would be for us to select a candidate for speaker who will serve in that capac-ity for the next 15 months.
“This would allow the House to complete the business in a respon-sible manner, providing ample time for everyone’s voices to be heard, lead-ing into full leadership elections in November of 2016.”
Early in the week, the GOP seemed to be coalescing around Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, who is a leader of the Freedom Caucus mavericks in the House, be he also said he wanted a mandate before taking the job.
Ryan has been quoted as saying if he took up the speaker’s gavel, it would be with the assurances that the House’s authoritarian, rule-from-the-top-down days would be over.
The split in the party has been fueled by the Freedom Caucus’s some 40 members who say they are often stymied from having their say in House GOP policy and are often prevented from having their bills and amendments considered by the party hither-ups.
Price won’t run for speaker, but would serve if offeredSays GOP needs consensus speaker

Alpharetta High School participates in 'Statistics Olympics'
Math teacher, Jeff Cohen, as the “Cohenficient of Determina-tion” brings fun to learning.
ALPHARETTA, Ga. - On Friday, Sept. 26, Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics students partici-pated in "Statistics Olympics." During this activity, the class-es collected student data on variables such as height, long jump distance, hand span and texting speed. Students then selected two of the variables in which a relationship was sus-
pected and conducted a regres-sion analysis. There to assist the students was statistical super hero R-Squared, also known as the “Cohenficient of Determination.” This activity allowed students to apply skills and knowledge in a real world scenario.

Humane Society’s “Pet of the Week”ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Lucy, a 1 1/2-year-old spayed American Bulldog/Australian Cattle Dog, is a sweet, happy girl whose previous family could no longer care for her.
Lucy gets along well with children and other dogs, and she walks nicely on a leash. She has a bit of crate anxiety, but our staff and volunteers have worked with Lucy to improve discipline and instill confidence in her.
All dogs thrive on structure and leadership, and Lucy is no exception.
Crate training and obedience training are recommended to help with this. Obedience train-ing helps dogs understand what is expected, which reduces stress on everyone. If you are looking for an adult dog that can make your family complete, come take a look at this girl.
Lucy is current on her vaccina-tions at this time. She has been micro chipped and dewormed. She will be available at the Atlanta Humane Society Mansell Campus, 1565 Mansell Road.

ROSWELL, Ga. – The Georgia Ensemble Theatre Gala was a night to remember, especially for Hitchcock fans.
Billed as “South By South-east,” the Oct. 10 gala at the Cottage School in Roswell was a dinner theater spoof of the master of the macabre’ s work in film. Actors portrayed skewed characters that evoked such “Hitch” classics as “North by Northwest” (of course), “Pyscho,” “Strangers on a Train” and many more in pass-ing reference.
Patrons were invited to play along with Hitchcock trivia as names of some of his 60 or so feature films were woven into the dialogue. When a cast member said the title, guests were invited to be the first to signal it by tapping their water glasses with knife or fork.
Of course it was all to raise money for the Georgia Ensemble Theatre, now in its 23rd season. It is coming off its biggest commercial success, “Calendar Girls,” and will fol-low up with Shakespeare’s “Ro-meo and Juliet” (marking The Bard’s GET debut) beginning Nov. 5 through Nov. 22.
The evening also marked the inaugural Worthy Coe Hamiling Legacy Award for a special person who has supported the theater both financially and with personal involvement.
The award was presented that evening to Carla Crowell, a three-term president of the
GET board of directors.“The woman never says no.
She just says yes and figures out a way to get it done,” said GET co-founder and managing director Anita Allen-Farley.
“Carla has been a good friend to Georgia Ensemble. It takes people like her if we are going to be successful.”
Crowell said she was “truly humbled” to receive the award. “And I am doubly honored to have an award named after Coe Hamling. He is an inspira-tion to us all.”
She said she was also in-spired by her hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana, where she grew up in an environment of theater and music.
“They understood the value of the arts in Fort Wayne,” so the arts were always a part of growing up there. “What a gift that was,” Crowell said.
She credited her GET in-volvement with meeting Mary McLain Smith, a board of trustees member, GET actress, director and a Jill of all trades around GET, including run-ning what is now the Mary McLain Smith Golf Tourna-ment to benefit GET.
“She taught me to use my talents, to mentor and teach others. She brought me to Georgia Ensemble Theatre and it has been an incredible experience. With its Theater for Youth Program, it lets kids who have never seen a live stage performance get up and have that thrill of becoming some-thing more,” Crowell said.
“Mary taught me this is how you make a difference.”

Fulton schools honored for farm-to-school achievements ATLANTA— Fulton County Schools was recognized Oct. 7 with the Golden Radish Award, a state-wide farm-to-school distinction from Georgia Or-ganics which acknowledges the leadership of school represen-tatives building comprehensive farm-to-school programs.
The school district was recognized for its efforts to educate students on nutri-tion and agriculture by State School Superintendent Rich-ard Woods, Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black, Public Health Commissioner Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, and Georgia Organics Board Chair Mandy Mahoney.
“It is incredible to see the growth of farm-to-school pro-grams in the last few years,” said Mandy Mahoney, Georgia Organics Board Chair. “Every day, children across our state are getting the opportunity to grow and taste Georgia food in school. I’m excited to see Georgia’s school and agricul-tural leaders invest in these programs and in our children.”
Fulton County Schools was recognized at the Silver level for their accomplishments dur-ing the last school year, which include:
Students in all 94 schools participated in a taste test of roasted butternut squash.
Other schools also tried ad-ditional locally inspired recipes such as carrot and raisin salad, roasted chicken, Greek green beans and tomatoes, pink applesauce, and roasted root vegetables.
34 schools in the district maintain their own edible gardens, which include raised beds, greenhouses, orchards and pots of herbs.
Farm-to-school was inte-grated into standards-based curriculum 81 times this school year. Lessons ranged from plant life cycles, experien-tial agriculture with school gar-dens, specific farm-to-school lesson plans, identifying edible plant parts, learning fractions by making salads from garden harvests and learning about organic farming.
“Eating fresh, locally sourced food at school is great for our students,” said Richard Woods, Georgia’s School Su-perintendent. “When kids are healthy and energized, they’re ready to tackle their academic tasks. Farm to School also provides an opportunity for students to learn more about the role and impact of agricul-ture – Georgia’s largest indus-try – in our state.”
Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black said he couldn’t agree more.
School districts across Georgia are using farm-to-school programs to teach core curriculum, support their local economies, fight obesity and other preventable, food-related diseases, and increase the
amount of local food they serve to their students.
The 2015 Golden Radish Award recognizes school dis-tricts for all aspects of farm to school during the 2014-2015 school year—from local food
procurement to hosting taste tests to gardening with stu-dents—and is awarded at Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Honorary Levels to districts with varying levels of farm to school pro-grams.

Drake House hosts ‘Unexpected Evening’ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Ladies strutted their stuff Oct. 6 as part of “An Unexpected Eve-ning” fashion show in support of the Drake House.
The models donned cloth-ing from the Drake Closet, the thrift store arm of the Drake House.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – The Al-pharetta Police Athletic League is looking for a new home and, if nothing is done, the execu-tive director warns the group may be homeless by the sum-mer.
PAL, an Alpharetta insti-tution since 1996, is a non-profit group that connects
local youths with public safety personnel while also giving them activities and sports to keep them entertained. It has a goal of engaging police officers, firefighters and community volunteers to teach youth and mentor them, “establishing a bond of mutual respect, understanding and trust with the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety.”
Starting with about 40 children, the group now has over 120 kids per semester in its programs of sports, music and literacy.
Since it was created, Executive Director Veronica Carew said the group has
moved around a lot. Its most recent home was in the Eagle’s Gym, which stood where the new Alpharetta City Hall now stands. Owned by the city, the gym was torn down.
Carew and her kids moved down the street to the Milton Center/ Independence High School building, on Milton Avenue.
“We rented this spot so we can keep the programs going,” Carew said.
Alpha PAL rents space from the school system, which owns the building. In exchange, PAL has been supplying their pro-gramming, especially leader-ship classes, to local schools.
This has worked well for three years. Now, however, the situation has changed.
“Each year the rent is higher and now we can’t afford to stay here,” Carew said.
The costs stem from the school system keeping the building open – lights, air con-ditioning, personnel – to house
PAL. Carew estimates the costs at $60,000-$80,000 a year.
“The partnership has been well up to now, and it hasn’t gone bad. We have a great relationship with the board of education,” Carew said. “But with the price increase, we can’t afford it.
“I’m afraid the Alpharetta PAL will have to shut their doors,” she continued. “We don’t have a home and will not be able to afford where we are.”
Carew said her money will run out by the summer.
This just pushes Carew and her board of directors harder to find another, more perma-nent home before they lose their current one. In her own location, Carew and her kids have more options for pro-gramming
“In the BoE building, we have to abide by their rules,” Carew said. “We aren’t open on weekends and have to close by a certain hour and be out of the building [on weekdays]. But these are the times chil-dren are more likely to get into something and need some-where to go.”
Especially in the summer, when kids are out of school yet
parents still work, Carew said the need for her own place is apparent.
A search has been un-derway for a new home for several months, Carew said, with little luck. She is look-ing for anything – it could be leasing space from someone, or it could be owning outright a building or land.
She said a building about 20,000 square feet would work with either gym or outside field space.
Music, boxing and class-room space is needed, she said. PAL currently rents seven classrooms from the school board and uses the Milton Center’s gym and field space.
All this may be overly stressful for Carew, but it may not be the end of the dealings with the county. In the end, the school board could approve Carew’s proposals or waive some fees and let PAL stay on the Milton Center’s property.
Until then, Carew contin-ues the hunt for a permanent home.
For more about Alpha PAL and its programming, visit them online at www.alphaPAL.org.

Knights outduel Raiders in back-and-forth contest
By JOE [email protected]
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The Centennial Knights were able to outlast Alpharetta in a shootout that featured five lead changes in the second half, improving to 3-3 overall and 3-2 in region play. Meanwhile, two-time defending Region 6-AAAAAA champions Al-pharetta dropped to 3-3 overall and 2-3 in region play.
Alpharetta opened the game with a touchdown on their opening possession on a 14-yard pass from quarterback Matt Downing to Carlos Car-riere. Carriere had five recep-tions for 100 yards and two touchdowns in the game.
Centennial would respond with a 38-yard touchdown pass from Luther Martinez to Blane Mason.
Alpharetta and Centen-nial would trade touchdown rushes, however a missed PAT by Centennial would give the Raiders a 14-13 lead.
Centennial’s Casen Con-way and Caden Herring would score the next two touchdowns
of the game, both on the ground to give the Knights a 27-14 lead.
Alpharetta would then re-spond with two touchdowns of their own, both in the final two minutes of the first half. The Raiders scored on a 50-yard pass from Downing to Carreier with 1:50 remaining in the sec-ond quarter and, after stopping Centennial’s ensuing drive, Downing threw another touch-down to Darryl Bivens with 27 seconds left in the half.
With just under nine min-utes remaining in the fourth quarter, Centennial took a 30-28 lead on a 24-yard field goal. Alpharetta responded with an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive, capped off by a 4-yard rush from Nolan Edmonds for the score to give the Raiders a 35-30 lead with 6:36 remain-ing.
Centennial’s ensuing drive would eat up 5:56 from the clock as they scored on a 16-play, 84-yard drive that in-cluded a crucial fourth-and-10 play on the Raiders’ 11.
Conway’s 1-yard touch-down rush gave the Knights a 36-35 lead which was extended to 38-35 after Herring scam-pered in on the 2-point con-version attempt. That left the Raiders’ offense with just 40 seconds remaining to try and
tie or take the lead. Conway and Herring would
both have big games. Quar-terback Conway was 14-17 for 178 yards with 20 rushes for 69 yards and three touch-downs. Halfback Herring com-piled 144 yards on 18 rushes with a touchdown.
With just 40 seconds remaining in the game, Al-pharetta began their drive at their own 30. On their first play of the drive, Downing found a wide-open Bivens
who made it to the Knights’ 48. However, Downing would throw just one completion in his next four throws, setting up the Raiders at the Knights’ 37 with just four seconds remaining.
Downing’s Hail Mary at-tempt was batted down in the end zone, giving the Knights a wild 38-35 victory.
Downing went 16-25 with 262 yards and three touch-downs. Alpharetta’s Edmonds had 43 yards on 14 rushes
with two touchdowns. Alpharetta’s quest for their
third consecutive region title is now in serious jeopardy. The Raiders are currently in a four-way tie for fourth place in the region, along with Centen-nial, Johns Creek and North-view. All four teams trail South Forsyth and Lambert, who are currently 4-0 in region play.
Centennial will face Haber-sham Central this Friday while Alpharetta will face Chatta-hoochee.

100 turn out to AHS hackathonALPHARETTA, Ga. - Held in the auxiliary gym, over 100 people showed up throughout Oct. 10 to take part in the Alpharetta High School’s “hackathon.”
A “hack” is using technology in a clever man-ner to solve a problem. A “hackathon” is usually an event dedicated to this purpose that lasts 24 to 48 hours.
AHS hackathon host Anthony Liu is a senior at Alpharetta High School. He had the help of junior Nitish Sood, and Sood’s older brother Aditya Sood, at the University of Georgia.
Last summer, the three students helped one another create the hackathon near At-lanta’s Tech Village. This event is where they decided that it was ideal to hold one their own
high school. A lot of the events that went along during the hackathon were student-lead and initiated.
The three hosts of the event said they wanted this to be a learning experience for all those who attended and for them to know how to create things such as a basic website or ap-plications for a mobile phone.
“This is a learning experience for the three of us, learning how to direct an event like this,” said Sood. “If we have the time we may sit and learn what they [the participants] are learning”
When asked if they would be creating any-thing themselves that day, Liu replied, “I would like to, but I have to work on my college apps.”

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Cathy Schroeder is taking the skills she learned as a firearms instructor with the FBI to com-pete in — and win — shoot-ing championships across the country.
Recently, at the 2015 Na-tional Police Shooting Cham-pionships in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a program of the National Rifle Association, Schroeder won the Woman’s Aggregate Championship, meaning her combined scores from individual matches were the highest among female com-petitors.
This victory was special because, as a self-proclaimed “bridesmaid,” Schroeder said nobody remembers you when you come in second.
“I haven’t won the overall women’s total in quite a while,” said Schroeder, 62. “I had in previous years. This year was especially sweet because I feel kind of elderly so it was quite a sweet victory to do that.”
But Schroeder’s success
hasn’t always come while com-peting against other women. For the President’s 100 com-petition, an event in which she had previously competed, she came in 10th overall between both men and women out of over 300 law enforcement com-petitors.
“That match requires shooting two different guns, a semiautomatic and a revolver,” Schroeder said. “Your total of those two matches is then ranked and they take the top 100 shooters out of those. Any-one can practice one gun over and over. But, to be the best, you have to master multiple weapons and courses. To me, that’s what makes me feel the best. I may not have been the best in a gun, but overall my scores were the highest.”
Schroeder has been in-volved in shooting for over 30 years and attributes much of her success to her husband, Lyle.
They met while he was a firearms instructor and a com-petitor for the Michigan State
Police.“I never shot before I came
into the FBI,” Schroeder said. “They taught me how to shoot as part of my job as principal firearms instructor. I taught the 225 agents how to shoot firearms. Lyle is the one who saw something in me and en-couraged me and brought me to the level I am at in compet-ing.”
While they were dating, Schroeder said, they would go to matches and she would watch him shoot, amazed by his talents.
“When we got married, he took me out to the range because I was having a bit of trouble with something and he cured me of that,” Schroeder said. He also urged her to com-pete. “He’s been my encourage-ment, coach, mentor and hero. He continues to be the wind beneath my wings because he’s the one who believes in me even when I don’t believe in myself.”

MILTON, Ga. -- Milton Theatre Company will produce “Fail-ure: A Love Story” as its one act play competition piece for the GHSA entry.
The 55-minute production will first run for two nights – Wednesday, Oct. 21 and Thursday, Oct. 22 at Milton High School Theatre. The troupe will go on to compete with other 6 AAAAAA schools in the designated region at Lassiter High School on Sat-urday. Oct. 24.
The winner at the region-als competition will then travel to compete at the State Competition at Veterans High School in Kathleen, Georgia on Nov. 7.
“Playwright Philip Dawkins has penned a whim-sical comedy that journeys through nearly all the emo-tions you can imagine,” Direc-tor Larry Smith. “The story is told through characters, nar-ration, puppetry and song.”
With "Failure: A Love Sto-ry," there’s a cheerful spin on a grim topic: death. The play tells the story of a family and sisters Nelly, Jenny June and Gerty as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River, before their time unex-pectedly runs out.
The sisters all come to untimely ends - drowning, consumption, disappearance,
blunt objects to the head. And yet the mood is decidedly chipper with songs, ukuleles and mandolins and many smiles. “Failure: A Love Story” is a magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual's successes or failures.
Performances will be on Wednesday, Oct. 21 and Thursday, Oct. 22 beginning at 7:30 p.m. with a run time of 55 minutes.
Milton Theatre is at Milton High School, 3025 Birming-ham Highway, Milton. Tickets are available at www.milton-theatrecompany.com.

Youth Day has been a long-standing tradition in Roswell that began in 1950
when a group of parents decided to sponsor a parade and a day of activities to honor the youth of the city. In 1951, Mayor Ford Rucker proclaimed the second Sat-urday in October as “Roswell Youth Day,” and each year the tradition grows stronger within the community.

Giving back runs in the family for The Place volunteerBy KATHLEEN [email protected]
FORYSYTH, Ga. — Becky Powell, 63, has never stopped listening to her father. So when he said it might be a good idea to begin volunteering with The Place of Forsyth 13 years ago, she agreed.
“When I retired, my dad told me I needed to go talk to the people at The Place because it’d be a good place for me,” Powell said. “I tell people I’m there because my dad told me to. Even at this age I still listen to my dad.”
Although she was able to retire at 50, 15 years earlier than full retire-ment age, Powell said she is always looking for something to do. Her par-ents, now 88 and 89, were the Monday bread room volunteers at The Place, 2550 The Place Circle in Cumming, for two decades, so she was quite familiar with the organization.
After talking to the then president and executive director, Powell started volunteering. In less than a year, she was president of the board.
“I laugh and say I’m there because my dad told me to, but that’s not really the reason,” Powell said. “My heart is with The Place and has been ever since the beginning. I care deeply about giving back to the community.”
Life is good, Powell said. She said she is fortunate enough to be in a comfortable position in life: her kids are grown, she has many grandchil-dren and has been married for almost 45 years.
“I never thought I’d be in a position to be able to give back at this age,” Powell said. “I thought I’d have to work my whole life. The Place keeps me grounded. I appreciate what I have so much. You can become jaded because you think everyone has a good life, but not all do.”
She tries to remember that when volunteering.
“We help with rent, electric bills or homelessness, but it’s not good enough to help with that and then just walk away,” Powell said. “There’s something else going on in that per-son’s life, even with somebody who walks in and just needs food. It’s really a cry for help. We need to refer them to somebody and be of assistance. We can get them to the right person.”
Sometimes, that right person might be a volunteer with The Place. The organization has an up-and-coming program that includes an option for those who aren’t yet retired to still give back.
Explaining, Powell said The Place is starting a new mentoring-type pro-
gram that connects people struggling to get their lives back together with individuals who can help.
Interested volunteers “could spend 15 minutes once a week to make phone calls to these people,” she said. “You can do something in as little as 15 minutes a week. You could mentor somebody struggling in some way. It’s just a phone call. You don’t even have to meet them.”
The Place also has volunteer posi-tions on weekends as well as weekly meal volunteer opportunities.
In addition to individual efforts, Powell said The Place is always look-ing for large groups, such as busi-nesses or neighborhoods, to volunteer together.
“The more people you reach and the more people who understand what we do, the more chances we have of reaching the people who need our help,” she said.
For information on The Place and how to help, visit www.theplaceoffor-syth.org.

Even with all the support, Schroeder sometimes feels dis-couraged. While she said the shooting contests are physical to a degree, including eyesight and grip strength, competing is very much a mental game and competitors have to be very focused at what they’re doing.
“As you get older, things start to fall apart, like your vi-sion and strength,” Schroeder said. “I still work out every day, but things deteriorate. I’ve gone through cycles of not shooting well even though I’ve shot well for many years. Then something will happen and I’ll shoot an awesome score. My husband is a big part of that. He’ll say, ‘No, you still have it, we just have to work out the bugs.’”
And even though she enjoys competition, keeping her shooting skills sharp was vital for her previous job as well as her current position as a part-time employee of the NRA, teaching law enforcement firearms instruction.
“One of the things in law enforcement is you have to have a skill and be proficient with whatever weapon you carry,” Schroeder said. “It’s very hard in law enforcement to maintain a skill level that you need and hope you never have to use it. In training, it’s hard to mimic the stress that
you might feel, say, in a shoot-ing incident. You need to train your folks to be able to handle the stress.”
However, all stress doesn’t have to be bad, she said. Some pressure can actually help keep shooters sharp.
“We always encourage our
officers to compete in some-thing,” Schroeder said. “When you compete your heart beats harder. It’s a form of stress and it doesn’t have to be negative. Competition is actually a very good way of keeping your skill level up in law enforcement.”
She has one more competi-
tion this season and then she said she’s going to take some time to relax.
“I’m still basking in this glo-ry,” Schroeder said. “It’s been
a long time since I’ve held the overall title. I’ll keep practicing because you don’t want to be worse than you were. I’ll try it again.”

ATLANTA — Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has awarded 24 contracts for statewide projects totaling $67.6 million.
This includes $3 million for safety projects on local roads and almost $4.6 million for two bridge bond projects to be funded from $100 million in bonds appro-priated by the 2015 General Assembly.
This month, the largest transportation investment is a $36.9 million connectivity and congestion relief project that includes the widening and reconstruction of 5.1 miles on Bethelview Road from Castleber-ry Road to Ga. 20 in Forsyth County, plus construction of a bridge and approaches over Big Creek.
The project will improve safety and capacity through widening, alignment modifications and the addition of a raised median and turn lanes.
The project’s completion date is June 30, 2019.
This project represents almost $50 million of investment in Forsyth County which includes right-of way acquisition and design costs.
“While I’m glad we could move some critical projects ahead, I am concerned that we still do not have long-term federal funding,” said Georgia DOT Commissioner Russell McMurry. “Transportation projects need to be planned over a period of years which becomes very difficult when we do not have the much needed federal fund-ing.”
In addition to a strong focus on maintaining and preserving transporta-tion infrastructure, the department also awarded operational improvement projects including traffic signal upgrades at vari-ous locations on Memorial Drive/SR 154 in Fulton County.
Details on all awarded projects can be found through the award announcement downloads link, https://www.bidx.com/ga/lettings.
Information on schedules, lane clo-sures and necessary detours will be made available in advance of construction activi-ties.

Girl Scout Cadetteearns Silver Award
ROSWELL, Ga. -- Lauren Webb, of Troop 14254, earned the highest award for a Cadette Girl Scout, the Silver Award.
During her 8th grade year at South Forsyth Middle School, she researched ways to help local foster children have equipment for sports activities. She is an avid soccer and basketball athlete and saw the need for these children to have proper equipment to prac-tice, participate and stay in shape. Working with the Foster Care Sup-port Foundation in Roswell, Webb identified the children’s needs and then began to educate her fellow Girl Scouts, church youth group and fellow teammates. Raising awareness and setting up collection times and dates for several sports equipment drives for donations with each group. She met with younger Girl Scouts and assisted them in working towards fitness badges while they, in turn, brought
equipment donations for her proj-ect.
Overall, Webb collected 176 items, delivering them to the Foster Care Support Foundation in July and working with their volunteers to organize and shelve the items.

Stuart: School, and was elected to the School Governance Council at Roswell High. She has also been a member of the Superin-tendent’s Community Advisory Committee since 2009, and
has served as a vice president for the North Fulton Council of PTAs and as a committee member for the Georgia PTA.
Stuart said serving on the Fulton School Board was not
something she had planned on pursuing, but was encouraged to do so by friends and com-munity members after Schul-tz’s retirement last month.
“Given that our daughters are in 10th and 12th grades, my husband [John] and I de-cided that the timing was ideal, as I am familiar with the cur-rent challenges of our schools,” said Stuart. “It is an honor and
privilege to take on this re-sponsibility, and I look forward to getting to know more of the parents, students and staff members in District 1.”
She noted her first priority is to get up to speed on board matters and become familiar with her new role.
“In the near future, I will spend significant time on training and learning all I can as quickly as possible so that I can be a more effective repre-sentative,” said Stuart, who plans to run for the District 1 seat when it comes up for election.
Stuart takes a seat on the board during a pivotal time for the Roswell schools communi-ty, which is currently under-going its first redistricting in years, and exploring additional choice options for students in the coming years.
Stuart holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Georgia State University. She is currently employed as an independent marketing con-sultant, and worked previously as a regional vice president for Berger Funds and INVESCO Funds Group.

Huge region implications for South, West Forsyth matchupBy JOE [email protected]
CUMMING, Ga. — South Forsyth, currently leading the Region 6-AAAAAA standings, will have a tough test when they take on West Forsyth this Friday. Last season, West beat the War Eagles 27-14.
At the midseason mark last week, South was the only undefeated team in the region. However, their schedule for the first half of the season includ-ed the underachieving teams of Mountain View, Habersham Central and North Forsyth. Af-ter week five, those teams had a combined two wins.
The second half of South’s schedule will pose a much greater challenge as they will face West Forsyth, Alpharetta, Johns Creek and Lambert. The War Eagles lost to three of those opponents last year.
However, the War Eagles enter this season more ex-perienced and have shown proficiency on both sides of the ball. South is averaging over 30 points per game on offense while their defense allows just over 10.
South’s offense is led by dual-threat quarterback Davis Shanley and running back
Sam Outlaw. In front of them plays an experienced and size-able offensive line that has been crucial to South’s offen-sive success this season and will likely pose a challenge to West’s defensive front.
South’s defense will need standout defensive lineman Cameron Kline to continue getting penetration into the backfield and to put pressure on West quarterback Kiernan Hamilton, who has had an im-pressive start to the season.
Through five games, Ham-ilton completed 61 percent of passes and averaged 263 yards per game. In that span, West led all of Region 6-AAAAAA in points per game with 33, due in large part to his 16 touch-down passes.
Both teams enter the game near the top of the region standings, and the matchup
could prove vital to who wins the regional title this season. For South, this game will be a true test as they enter a tough second half of their schedule while West must win to keep their hopes of a region title alive.
Other notable games:Cambridge vs. North Springs
Cambridge enters their game against North Springs near the top of the Region 7-AAAAA Division B standings. The Bears’ defense has been stellar as they gave up an aver-age of just 9 points per game through their first five games. They will face a North Springs offense that was held to 7 points or less in three of the first five games and a defense
that allowed 191 points. Roswell vs. Pope
Roswell dominated their opponents through the mid-season mark, and they should do the same against a Pope Greyhound team that will enter the game still looking for their first win of the season.
Look for Roswell quarter-back Quintarius Neely to have a big game against the Grey-hounds secondary that has struggled against the pass-ing game. In Pope’s first five games, in which they were win-less, the defense gave up an average of 43 points per game.
Meanwhile, no one has had much success against Roswell’s defense, led by line-backer Tre’ Lamar and defen-sive tackle Max Boyd. Roswell should take another win and continue their quest for a Re-gion 5-AAAAAA championship. Mount Pisgah vs. Pinecrest Academy
Pinecrest Academy will enter their matchup against the Patriots leading the Region 6-A Division B standings while Mount Pisgah sits in the mid-dle of the pack. Mount Pisgah won last year’s matchup 21-14 on their way to a region title, one game ahead of Pinecrest.
However, Mount Pisgah
has struggled to find the same success this season. After five games, their only two wins were in overtime.
At midseason, Pinecrest’s only loss had come at the hands of defending Region-A private state champions Mount Paran. Northview vs. Lambert
Both Lambert and North-view will enter the game in need of a win, but for different reasons. Lambert will be seek-ing another victory in Region 6-AAAAAA play that will keep them in the hunt for their first region title. They finished runner-up to Alpharetta in 2013 and 2014.
Meanwhile, Northview needs a victory to try and se-cure a playoff position for the second consecutive season.
Lambert’s offense enters the game averaging 200 yards rushing per game and has a multitude of talented play-ers taking carries, including juniors Harrison Pomfret and Brian Wright, as well as sopho-more Kenneth Dicks III.
Northview’s offense still has questions at the quarterback position as Paul Miller and Colton McDaniel have shared the QB duties, both showing inconsistencies.

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 mate-rials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
