ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Anyone driving on Windward Parkway will likely see construction be-fore too long as new lanes may be added to the road.
Called “Windward Phase 2,” the project, by the North Fulton Community Improve-ment District and GDOT, aims to improve traffic flow both on the road between Ga. 400 and Deerfield Parkway as well as traffic exiting Ga. 400 onto Windward.
The proposed project in-cludes a triple left-turn lane on the Ga. 400 northbound exit ramp to Windward Parkway and widens Windward Parkway from Ga. 400 to Westside Park-way/Deerfield Parkway. The additional lane on Windward Parkway will be a right-turn lane that will end at Westside Parkway/Deerfield Parkway along with a second left-turn lane on Windward Parkway at Westside Parkway. The project also includes improvements to the existing bicycle lane on Windward Parkway.
“The proposed project will also construct an out-side shoulder on Georgia 400 northbound next to the exiting flex shoulder lane. Motorists will be able to use the new shoulder as another exit lane,” said Carleton Fisher, GDOT project manager. “The improve-
ments at the Windward Park-way exit are expected to help traffic flow better during the morning and afternoon com-mute. We encourage residents who are interested in learning more about the proposed proj-ect to attend the open house and give their input.”
One issue to be resolved is traffic on the exit ramp of Ga. 400 backing up into the high-way during peak times.
The project will have a 1,900-foot-long new left-turn lane and shoulder on Ga. 400 northbound at the Windward exit. A bike lane will be added to Windward Parkway between the highway and Deerfield Parkway.
All told, the project is expected to cost about $3.8 million.
Taylor Wright, with Atkins Global, the design and engi-neering firm for the project, said he expects the project to take two years to build once a

ROSWELL, Ga. – Candidates for Roswell City Council ap-peared Oct. 21 at the Roswell Woman’s Club candidate forum.
The candidates were asked questions by the moderator about their stances on issues important to the city, ranging from traffic to development and taxes.
Eight of the nine an-nounced candidates were
in attendance. Running for Post 1 are Rich Dippolito, the incumbent, and Marcelo Zapata; running for Post 2 are incumbent Becky Wynn and Michael Palermo; run-ning for the open seat, Post 3, are Shayne Gray, Donald J. Horton, Kay Howell, Nathan Porter and Ricky Spencer.
Howell was absent from the event.
Municipal Court Judge Brian Hansford is also up
for re-election but is running unopposed.What should be done with the Riverwalk development and the intersection of Ga. 400 and Holcomb Bridge Road?
“There have to be major infrastructure changes first before there can be any devel-opment,” said Horton.
Gray said the area was currently zoned for up to 1 million square feet of office space, far more than is ex-pected for Riverwalk. Still, he opposed the development.
“It would bring 27,000 additional cars into the worst intersection in the state,” he

FUNERAL DIRECTORSand CREMATORY
Friends robbed at knife pointJOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Two Johns Creek men were held at knife point by a couple of “friends” they met at a bar fol-lowing a dispute Oct. 13.
The victims told police they were at Utopia Bar until 2:30 a.m. when they accepted a ride home from a couple of men they met that night – “D-Love” and “JP.” In exchange for the lift, the victims said they would offer a few beers at their apartment. Once at the apartment, on Medlock Bridge Road, D-Love said his phone was missing and blamed the victims. The victims denied taking the phone.
D-Love became upset and attacked
one of the victims, punching him in the face and forcing him to sit down, fac-ing a wall, while D-Love ransacked the home. He found some knives and gave one to JP, who held the victims during this time.
The victims’ wallets, computers, credit card, two knives and $20 in change were taken.
Felon caught with firearm after hitting girlfriend
JOHNS CREEK, GA. – A domestic vio-lence call led to the arrest of a felon for possessing a firearm Oct. 8.
According to police, Darril Martin, 48, of Colony Club Drive, was recently released from jail and returned to the home he shared with his girlfriend and infant child.
A cousin of his girlfriend’s came over to pick up items and Martin alleg-edly believed the cousin was conspiring against him. He yelled at his girlfriend
and hit her over the head as she was carrying the baby. When police were investigating the incident, they found a handgun belonging to Martin in the home. A convicted felon, Martin is pro-hibited from having weapons.
He was arrested for simple battery, being a felon in possession of a firearm and cruelty to children in the third degree.
App match leadsto harassmentMILTON, Ga. – A poorly chosen match on OK Cupid has led to charges of ha-rassment for a Milton resident.
The victim told police he used the OK Cupid dating app and found “Jeana” on Oct. 11. He said Jeana be-gan sending him text messages saying she worked at AT&T and was able to get all the victim’s personal informa-tion.
She was also able to get the number of a friend of the victim and began call-ing the friend, as well.

Remember your deductible resets January 1, 2016.
What is a cataract?The eye has a lens similar in function to a camera lens, focusing light on the retina, the part of the eye that re-ceives images and transmits them to the brain. This lens is made of proteins that are aligned in a precise manner, making the lens clear. As we age, the proteins can begin to clump together, making the lens cloudy. When the lens becomes cloudy it is a cataract.
What causes cataracts?All people develop cataracts if they live long enough, due to natural wear and tear on the proteins making up the lens. There are, however, factors thought to accelerate this process. These in-clude exposure to UV light, smoking, and diabetes. To slow the progression of cataracts, do not smoke and wear UV blocking sunglasses when outside.
What are the symptoms of cataracts?People with cataracts often note a gradually increas-ing cloudiness of the vision as well as poor night vi-sion. Other symptoms include glare when driving at night, and haloes around lights. Patients may note that colors look faded due to the yellowing of the lens. Sometimes these changes happen so slowly that someone may not realize how much their vi-sion has been aff ected.
How are cataracts diagnosed?Your eye doctor will be able to diagnose whether you have a cataract by performing an eye exam that includes dilating your eyes to get a good look at the lens. Your vision will be tested to determine if the cataract is aff ecting your vision. You may also have glare testing to determine if your vision is decreased in situations such as driving at night.
What is the treatment for cataracts?With early cataracts, vision can often be improved with a new glasses prescription, or using increased lighting when reading. As cataracts progress, the only treatment available is surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artifi cial lens. Cataract surgery is recommended when the cataract has become advanced enough to aff ect your daily
activities such as reading, watching television, or driving. Cataract surgery very successful, but like all surgeries has risks. Your eye doctor will discuss the risks, benefi ts, and alternatives of cataract surgery with you.
What are some of the new technologies available to cataract patients? Some of the most exciting progress in cataract surgery recently has been the development of advanced technology intraocular lenses which help patients minimize dependence on glasses. Ap-proximately 1/3 of the population has astigmatism that blurs the vision, requiring glasses for correction. Advanced technology lenses can often correct astigmatism inside the eye, enabling patients to have clear distance vision. Another type of ad-vanced technology lens, called a multifocal lens can often help cataract patients see more clearly both at near and at distance after surgery. Your eye doctor can discuss if you would be a candidate for these technologies.

MILTON, Ga. - The Georgia De-partment of Labor announced Oct. 23 that metro Atlanta’s unemployment rate for Sep-tember was 5.5 percent, down one-tenth of a percentage point from 5.6 percent in August. The rate in September 2014 was 6.7 percent.
The rate fell as more resi-dents got jobs and there were fewer new layoffs.
The number of employed residents increased in Au-gust. Also, the number of new layoffs, as measured by initial claims for unemploy-ment insurance, declined by 4.6 percent in September. The decreases came in a number of industries including manufac-turing, wholesale trade, trans-portation and warehousing, administrative and support services, accommodations and food services, and educational services.
Jobs were lost in several major employment sectors,
including leisure and hospital-ity, professional and business services, trade, transporta-tion and warehousing, and construction. State and local government added jobs as the public schools reopened for the new school year.
However, over the year, Atlanta gained 72,300 jobs, a growth rate of 2.9 percent. Most of the job growth came in professional and business services, trade, transporta-tion and warehousing, leisure and hospitality, government, education and health services, financial activities, construc-tion and manufacturing.
Metro Gainesville had the lowest area jobless rate at 4.7 percent, while the Altamaha region had the highest at 7.5 percent.
Meanwhile, Georgia’s seasonally adjusted unemploy-ment rate for September was 5.8 percent, unchanged from August.
It was 6.9 percent in September 2014. Georgia is ranked third nationally in monthly job creation.
Local area unemploy-
ment data are not seasonally adjusted. Georgia labor market data are available at www.dol.georgia.gov.

Georgia’s unemployment rate now down to 5.5%

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Alpharetta has seen a string of vehicle break-ins in recent days, with more than 20 victims report-ing damage and stolen goods between Oct. 16 and 20.
Almost all of the vehicles hit were in or near the parking lots of local hotels and restau-rants.
The Courtyard Marriott on Deerfield Parkway reported several break-ins overnight Oct. 16 with windows broken
out and computers and other personal items reported taken.
That same night, the Hyatt Place and Hilton Garden Inn both reported windows broken into of vehicles.
One victim reported a passport and cash taken, along with computers.
Two victims reported rental vehicles missing at the same time.
In some cases, windows were broken but nothing was reported missing.
A few days later, Oct. 19, a vehicle’s door handle was reportedly damaged at the Hampton Inn on Old Morris Road and nothing was missing.
On the other side of town at about lunch time two vehicles were reportedly broken into at
the Tom and Chee restaurant. Again, windows were broken and computers were taken.
Later that night, at a nearby restaurant strip mall, several vehicles reportedly had smashed windows and items missing.
Customers of the La Parilla and Taco Mac reported win-dows smashed with cameras, wallets, computers and cloth-ing reportedly missing.
One vehicle was reported stolen.
On Oct. 20, four more vehicles were broken into at the Hyatt Place on North Point Parkway. Two had nothing taken, one had a computer missing.
The fourth had two fire-arms stolen — a Sig. 226R 9
mm and a Spikes ST15 tactical assault rifle, both with extra mags and ammo.
George Gordon, spokesman with the Alpharetta Depart-ment of Public Safety, said most such crimes are ones of opportunity.
“It takes only seconds for someone to break into a vehicle, grab something and flee,” Gordon said. “The best way to deter becoming a victim is to practice the ‘Take, lock and hide’ concept. Always take valuables from your vehicle when not occupied. Lock up your vehicle. Hide items out if sight if you can’t remove them.”
He encouraged residents to report any suspicious activity to authorities.

1. Take a digital photo of your kids. While it’s great for the scrap-book, it’s also important to have a recent and detailed description in the event of an emergency.
2. Make sure your child’s cos-tume is safe. Is the fabric fire retar-dant? Does their mask have proper eye, nose and mouth openings? Can they walk easily in it?
3. Use a buddy system. If you are headed out with a group, make sure there is a buddy system in place. It’s easy for a child to be left behind or mixed in with other groups.
4. Know who your kids are trick-or-treating with. Exchange phone numbers with your child’s friends and their parents. In the event of an emergency, you can notify them.

ATLANTA – Georgia Depart-ment of Transportation an-nounced that the agency is un-able to release federally funded projects for bids in December due to federal funding uncer-tainty.
The 34 delayed projects, valued at $123 million, were previously scheduled to go out for bids during that month.
Repeated shortfalls in the Federal Highway Trust Fund account have led to a series of brief funding extensions.
The latest patch by Con-gress – the 34th short-term transportation funding exten-sion since 2009 (and the third one in 10 months) – extends the federal government’s au-thority to process aid payments to states through Oct. 29.
“It has been 10 years since Congress has been able to pass a transportation funding bill of more than a two-year duration,”said Georgia DOT
Commissioner Russell Mc-Murry. “Temporary fixes do not create the certainty state DOTs require in order to plan major transportation projects. We can’t do long-term transporta-tion planning with short-term funding fixes.”
Key delayed December proj-ects include:• A $45 million resurfacing
and maintenance project on Interstate 75 in Catoosa County from State Route 3/U.S. 41 to the Tennessee state line
• A $2.5 million bridge main-tenance project involving 10 Fulton County bridges.
• A $20 million resurfacing and maintenance project
in Tift County on I-75 from south of County Road 204/Southwell Road in Tift County to south of SR 32 in Turner County.
• A $3 million operational improvement on SR 3 at Windy Hill Road in Cobb County “While Congress looks
for solutions, the clock ticks down to next Thursday’s Oct. 29 deadline,” McMurry said. “If Congress does not reach an agreement by then, US DOT will cut off payments for infrastructure projects to states and local governments in November. This poses grave challenges for our transporta-tion system.”

GDOT and local government groups have plans to add additional lanes to Windward Parkway and a section of Ga. 400 to improve traffic flow.
contractor is approved, which may be by the end of the year.
Phase 1 of this project was adding a second right-turn lane from the off-ramp to Windward Parkway and an
additional lane to North Point Parkway.
Phase 2 is still in the design and input process.
“This is a concept and we are soliciting feedback to pos-sibly incorporate into design,” said Wright.
GDOT will accept criticism and suggestions about the project until Oct. 30.

Buzzfeed, Quartz or
other sites of their ilk because they don’t give me enough value. I don’t need or want more trivia or minutiae.
If I am not learning some-thing or if the site is not making me smarter, wiser or a better person in some way, it does not get my time. That’s also the reason I don’t watch reality TV or talent shows (or any TV, actually).
I don’t play video games or look forward to a new season of “The Walking Dead.” I also avoid information sources that cater to conservative or liberal points of view at the expense of objectivity, truth and clarity. I don’t have time for noise.
And, finally, I try to limit the amount of time I spend pa-tronizing sites or information sources where the investment of my time on their site pri-marily benefits them and not me – where I am the product and not the consumer.
Google is probably the big-gest example of this and I am working on finding an accept-able alternative to them as well.
Texting is the last digital activity that causes me to spend my time on my phone, although I really don’t text that much. So I may continue my limited use.
I don’t really pay much attention to Twitter although I used to follow one person who tweeted out only links to really good technology stories and news. He was so consistent and so good at screening what he put out there that he won my time.
But I eventually stopped following this guy because of the sheer volume of tweets he posted. It was just too much.
Ultimately I think I stand a chance of taking back most of my personal time that I have lost to the Internet. I want to use my time more wisely and I have come to realize that much of the time I burned up on the Internet is time that has dis-placed activities that fostered my true connectivity – real personal interaction with other people.
As one of my old favorites sang, “We’re only on this earth for a short while.” I really would like to spend that short while doing stuff that is impor-tant to me. And that needs to include being an active mem-ber of the human race and not hiding behind my phone, or any other screen.
So, need to get off this screen now.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I am reining in a thief – a time thief: my cell phone.
I have made progress the last few days. It feels like every day, every hour that passes, I am on my phone less and the easier it is becoming to be on my phone less.
Use of my cell phone is a bad habit – a bad habit because it occupies too much of my limited time – and it is work to break bad hab-its. Right now it feels like I am going thru the AA 12-step process of breaking an addic-tion. Only, instead of alcohol, it is an iPhone.
Of course, the problem is not really the actual cell phone. The problem is that the phone is a gateway to the Internet. And it is the Internet that in reality is the time thief.
So the first step was sim-ple: I deactivated my Facebook. The impact was instant and clear. It reduced my cell phone use by 80 percent instantly. I just hope that I can stay off it as I have tried this many times and have always reactivated it.
After eliminating 80 per-cent of my reason to pick up my phone, the remaining 20 percent of my use consisted of email, news (CNN and North-fulton.com), and texts.
The email should be fairly easy to harness using a series of small steps. Right now I
check it all day long until I go to sleep at night. I
never delete emails and use that as sort of a way to archive information that I can search through when I need some-thing.
The rational move is to limit checking email to per-haps twice per day and then limit that to a specific amount of time – which is what I shall do.
I also am reclaiming a ton of time by opting out of all the things that I almost never read, such as blogs, Google news and other feeds.
Additionally, I will block and aggressively report as spam everything else that is not a meaningful email. The alternative is to create a new email address and just start over from scratch, but that would probably be too much. Most of my work contacts will be using my current address.
My news use of the Internet basically consists of CNN, as I mentioned. However, I have about had it with CNN. They increasingly are using video, which I generally do not use on any site. An increasing percentage of their content is “native advertising,” which is
simply advertising mas-querading as legitimate news.
So, increasingly, when I invest my time in going to CNN’s site, I am getting less and less in return for my time investment. I am becoming less tolerant of anything or anyone that consumes my time without giving me a corresponding and appropriate ben-efit or value.
I am not sure what if anything I will replace CNN with, although I may try The Econo-mist. I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal and Sunday New York Times print edi-tions, but I have never been able to enjoy or use their digital editions. I think it may just be that I find the digital format distracting.
I don’t do sites like Huff-ington Post,

Phone, deactivate Facebook. I love Halloween. It’s a
fun time of year and the beginning of the holiday sea-son. There are decorations everywhere, and neighbors compete with each other for the best, most over-the-top decorated home on the street. It’s like Christmas for the spooky and I love it.
But then there are the costumes. Perhaps this is me showing my age, but it seems each year the costumes get weirder than the last.
I have long conceded the point that I am no longer on the cutting edge of “cool.” If I see a costume I don’t recognize, I just assume it’s either a new cartoon or some online meme. But especially for the women’s costumes, can we all agree that not all things are or must be “sexy” for Halloween?
There are the traditional costumes – sexy nurse, sexy firefighter, sexy police officer, sexy vegetable – I under-stand those. But then there is the “sexy Donald Trump” or the “sexy rat with pizza.”
I could get the sexy re-porter costume. Then again, I already have that one.
The Donald Trump costume confuses me. Of all things I want in my life to associate with “sexy,” Donald
Trump is not one of them.Perhaps there is the atti-
tude that turning something like that into a Halloween costume is ironic? Or just funny? It could certainly be scary. Maybe that’s the point? I don’t know. I don’t want to know.
I know that each Hallow-een becomes a battleground of “keep the sexy out of the holiday.” It’s unfair perhaps to keep bringing up such a topic each year that espe-cially targets women and women’s fashion. But a part of me is just confounded by all the weird things that must be “sexy” that must also be for women.
It’s a fun holiday, and maybe that’s the point. It’s one of the few times a year a woman gets to don a ridicu-lous “sexy” costume and not be judged too harshly.
Meanwhile my Halloween costume will be decidedly unsexy.
Well, maybe just a little.
Must every Halloween costume be ‘sexy?’

Must love … black catsIt’s no secret that I love
cats. Obsessed would even be a reasonable word to describe my love of cats. It wouldn’t be too big of a sur-prise if I ended up as a cat lady someday.
That being said, my cat color of choice is black. This love developed from my late pet, Edgar, or Ed for short. He was the first black cat my family ever adopted, but, in my opinion, he’s the best cat we’ve ever had. Ed came to live with us in a roundabout way. First, we adopted his tabby brother, Poe, from a local veterinary clinic. The next day, we felt bad for breaking up the kitty “family” and went back to adopt Ed. How thrilled we were that he was still there, waiting to be adopted. But more later on why he was probably still left behind.
After he died, we decided we could never replace him, although we knew our next cat (or cats) would probably be black. Then, last Novem-ber, we adopted two solid-black kitten brothers, Reu-ben and Al. They’re perfect and Reuben has become my
own little furry kitten child. However, when we ad-
opted our boys, we had to go through a somewhat long process so the animal shelter could be sure we wouldn’t hurt them. Of course my cat-crazed family would never think of hurting any animal, but apparently that is not true of all people.
Black cats notoriously have the lowest adoption rate

MILTON, Ga. – The waterways in and around Milton were filled with volunteers garbed in bright colors Oct. 17 for the annual “Rivers Alive” cleanup.
Held at Bailey Farm and Gardens, on Hickory Flat Road, volunteers donned
bright yellow and orange vests and made their way to many of the city’s streams, creeks and other waterways to clean them of waste.
Rivers Alive is an outreach program of the Georgia Depart-ment of Natural Resources that promotes and organizes fall volunteer cleanup efforts targeting all waterways in the
state. This includes streams,
rivers, lakes, beaches and wet-lands. Its mission is to create awareness and involvement in the preservation of Georgia’s pure water resources through waterway cleanups.
Each year, volunteers wade through mud and creek water to pick up trash discarded by
drivers or residents, either carelessly or on purpose.
Members of the fire depart-ment gave fire safety tips and an “enviroscape” was avail-able for families to have a fun illustration on sources of water contamination.
For more about yearlong events pertaining to river cleanup and other information,
visit riversalive.com. In Milton, the event was
sponsored by the Milton Grows Green Committee, a resident group tasked with finding the best policies and practices for protection of natural resourc-es, green space and develop-ment.

MILTON, Ga. – Hot choco-late, storytellers and plenty of pumpkins were on hand Oct. 25 for the annual Carvin’ in
Crabapple event in Milton.Held this year in the new
Broadwell Pavilion in the heart of Crabapple, hundreds of chil-dren and their families came to paint and carve their Hallow-een jack-o’-lanterns and play pumpkin bowling.
A professional storyteller told spooky stories to children as they sat on hay bales and
sipped hot chocolate from Wil-bur and Rudy’s Farmtable.
The event was sponsored by the city of Milton and the Crabapple Community Asso-ciation.
“This is a great turnout,” said Peyton Jamison, president of the Crabapple Community Association. “This may be our largest one yet.”

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The sun didn’t come out Monday, Oct. 26, but commuters were singing a happy tune after Johns Creek Public Works employees removed the barri-ers and opened thru-traffic on Parsons Road again after nine months.
The road had been closed after it was deemed the 50-year-old bridge had served its usefulness and a total replacement was required. The Georgia Department of Trans-
portation scheduled the $1.3 million project to be completed by September, but problems dogged the project.
First, a natural gas line that had not been identified along the right of way delayed the project until the line could be moved safely out of the way of construction.
But the big delay came when the vertical piles that support the bridge were not aligned properly. Each con-crete pile is yoked to another one, and when the pilings did not align properly because they were at the wrong elevation, GDOT demanded they be taken up and re-poured.
“The bridge was ready to be opened two weeks ago, then it was discovered the approaches to the bridge were not grooved
properly. The approaches should have grooves that help with the water runoff when it rains.
“It keeps vehicles from hydroplaning when they ap-proach the bridge. There was something wrong with the ma-chine that cuts those grooves apparently. GDOT would not accept the bridge [from the contractor] until they were re-grooved,” Black said.
The bridge now has a left-turn lane to allow traffic coming from Medlock Bridge Road to turn left into the sub-division just beyond. That will help guard against cars getting rear-ended on the bridge as they wait to turn left and allow thru-traffic to flow unimpeded by the cars turning left.
The project was totally funded by GDOT, so no city funds were involved. But the
waiting was all done by Johns Creek.
Monday, Johns Creek Public Works employees take down the barriers to open up Parsons Road again.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- A portion of Alpharetta’s Big Creek Greenway will be closed for 14 days as crews make drainage repairs and bridge an area that is frequently unusable due to ponding water. The closure, which will go into effect on Nov. 2, will impact a segment located just north of Web Bridge Road.
“We have received a number of complaints about this small section of our Greenway ponding even when little rain has fallen,” states Mike Perry, di-rector of Recreation and Parks for the City of Alpharetta. “While much of our greenway is located within a floodplain and has to be periodically closed when we receive heavy rains, the water in most areas quickly recedes and the trail is reopened within a day or two,” he said. “In this one short stretch, however, water tends to pond quickly and remains there, resulting in that area being unusable more frequently and for longer periods.”
The city will create a short bridge over the section so that water can more freely pass from one side of the trail to the other. This will also allow for use of the trail segment, even if some water is present.
During construction, the segment of the Big Creek Greenway will be closed and not available for use from a point approximately a half-mile south of the Marconi Drive trailhead to Webb Bridge Road. The remainder of the trail will be unaffected.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Forty of north Atlanta’s best and brightest stars gathered in one room Oct. 22 to be recognized for their status as up-and-comers in the business and
cultural world. The North At-lanta Business Post’s inaugu-ral 40 Under 40 awards event was held at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Alpharetta.
Many of the candidates were selected by the chambers of commerce from the counties the Post covers – Cherokee, Cobb, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwin-nett and Hall – for making an impact in their communities and businesses.
NABP organized the 40 Under 40 event as a means to highlight the promising talent
in the six counties of the north Atlanta area. Each chamber of commerce in the NABP’s coverage area selected a list of nominees, with the greater business community selecting their own. Staff from the NABP chose 40 winners from the nominations.
“We worked with all of our chambers of commerce to decide who were the most distinguished nominees,” said Hans Appen, publisher of the NABP.
The keynote speech was given by Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle, who had just turned 40 years old himself.
There is more to life than starting a career, he said. A legacy can have lasting effects on those around you, but must be worked for constantly.
He said the first question someone starting a career asks is “can I do it?” The second question is “can I be significant?”
“What breaks your heart?” he asked. It should be your mission to stop whatever that is from happening, he said.
That is how you make a difference in the world.
Those who were assembled in the room, all named the best in north Atlanta, were well primed to leave a lasting legacy.

What are you going to do to thank your customers for their business during the holiday season? Are you planning a holiday event or sending out thank-you notes to express your thanks for the business your customers have done with you this year? Thanking your customers during the holiday season is not only a nice ges-ture, but it will also help you to retain a customer’s business next year.
Let’s face it. Everyone has customers and your custom-ers have a choice of where they do business. Letting them know that you appreciate their business, especially at the end of the year during the holiday
season, is just good business sense. You don’t have to go overboard and buy lavish gifts. A simple “thank you” email will go a long way in maintaining a solid relationship with your customers.
Some small-business owners forget this important gesture, and scratch their
head and wonder why when a current customer starts doing business with a competitor. There should be no excuses that prevent you from thank-ing your customers during the holiday season.
Hosting an event, send-ing gift cards, or even picking up the phone and thanking them verbally is viewed by all customers as a positive ac-tion. Start your planning now for what you are going to do between Thankgiving and the New Year.
Thanking your customers for their business during the holiday season will go a long way toward retaining business with them.

CUMMING, Ga. — The Univer-sity of North Georgia is try-ing to create an entrepreneur ecosystem.
“It’s vital for us to be com-petitive and successful long term and have joy within our lives that way,” said Ruben Boling, director for the Center for the Future of North Geor-gia.
That’s why Boling, along with his department, decided to initiate a program at UNG called StartUp UNG.
“We had a couple of stu-dents come to us with busi-ness ideas but they didn’t know what to do,” Boling said. “That was an ah-ha moment
for us to say we really need to get going on this and make it happen. So we got started on StartUp UNG. It is a student group that meets on a regular basis and talks about startups and brings in successful entre-preneurs and patent folks to talk with to see what they need to do from that standpoint.”
From there, Boling said the next phase was to get that idea out into the community and involve them. So he created the first StartItUp conference Oct. 20 at the Lanier Techni-cal College Conference Center. Attendees included students from the University of North Georgia and high school stu-dents from both Forsyth and Lumpkin counties listen to entrepreneurs.
“We want our students to start talking with the high school students to encourage and support them,” Bol-ing said. “If you look at the economic growth in our area,
which is the foundation of a good lifestyle because we all want a job and provide for our families, the more businesses we start, the more opportuni-ties we have to provide those kind of things. A lot of eco-nomic development is about attracting companies that are already established into the area. We want a good mixture of large companies providing that type of job, but also those made on their own kind of jobs.”
The lineup for the event in-cluded speeches from Johnny “Cupcakes” Earle, an apparel designer, Tom Chernetsky, CTO for social app Yik Yak, Katie Dicke and Marcus Hol-linger, with Reach Records, and Beau Shell, also known as the Lil’ Ice Cream Dude.
Shell, the youngest speaker at age 11, discussed how he created his successful ice cream business. This is his fourth year as an entrepreneur
and he said his love of the sweet treat fueled his passion.
“My vision is to inspire and help other small businesses as I build my own successful ice cream empire, brand and private line of ice cream,” Shell said. In 2014, Shell’s business’ income project was at $19,000.
This year he hopes to earn $25,000. He donates portions of his earnings to the Chil-dren’s Miracle Network and his church.
“Always think big, remain humble, give back,” he said, “and prepare to change the world with your dreams.”

NORTH FULTON, Ga. — With just two regular-season games remaining for all local teams, many have found themselves in must-win situations, either for region championships or for playoff hopes.
In Region 6-AAAAAA, Lambert (7-1, 7-0) retained their position atop the region standings after defeating West Forsyth 35-31. Lambert now controls their own destiny in region play. The Longhorns will take on a winless Chat-tahoochee team this week before what could be the region champion-deciding game against South Forsyth next Friday.
South Forsyth (7-1, 6-1) sits a game behind Lambert and will likely have to beat Johns Creek to keep their hopes of a region title alive.
West Forsyth, Centen-nial and Johns Creek, third through fifth in region stand-ings respectively, are in the chase to earn one of four play-
off berths in Region 6-AAAAAA. In Region 7-AAAAA Division
B, Cambridge (6-2, 4-1) was handed their first loss in region play this season when they fell to Riverwood Oct. 23. River-wood (7-2, 5-1) leapfrogged Cambridge at the top of the standings with the win, forcing Cambridge to win out for the possibility of securing their first region title.
Blessed Trinity (8-0, 4-0) can clinch the Region 6-AAA Division B title with a win over Decatur. Pinecrest Academy will also have the chance to clinch their subregion title, Region 6-A Division B, with a win over King’s Ridge.
Game of the Week: Decatur (5-3, 2-2) vs. Blessed Trinity (8-0, 4-0)
If Blessed Trinity defeats Decatur on Friday, the Titans will clinch their third consecu-tive region title with one game remaining.
The Titans have been stellar on both sides of the ball this season. Quarter-back Conor Davis completed 60 percent of his passes and
averaged 134 yards per game through seven games. How-ever, most of the offensive production for the Titans has come on the ground.
The Titans are averaging 233 rushing yards per game, led by running back Milton Shelton. Shelton had 896 yards on 103 carries with 15 touchdowns for the Titans in seven games. Garrett Dupuis had 320 yards and two touch-downs in the same span.
The Titans defense is allow-ing just eight points per game and have held all but one op-ponent to just one touchdown.
Other notable games:
Centennial (5-3, 5-2) vs. West Forsyth (5-3, 5-2)
After dropping their game against Lambert, West Forsyth has an extremely slim chance of taking the region title. How-ever, they are still very much in the hunt for a playoff berth. They will take on a Centennial team that is looking to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
Both teams are currently tied for third place in the re-
gion. The losing team will be in jeopardy of missing out on the playoffs.
Centennial opened the season with three losses but has since won five straight, all in region play. West’s five-game win streak was snapped by Lambert last week.
Johns Creek (4-4, 4-3) vs. South Forsyth (6-1, 7-1)
Both the Gladiators and War Eagles will be in must-win mode when they face off Fri-day, but for different reasons. For South, they must win in order to force a region-champi-on deciding game against Lam-bert next week. If South loses this week and Lambert defeats Chattahoochee, Lambert will secure the region title.
Meanwhile, Johns Creek is seeking a playoff berth after winning just one game in their prior two seasons.
Under the helm of first-year head coach Matt Kemper, the Gladiators have turned things around and currently sit fifth in the region standings, just one game outside of a playoff spot.
Last week, the Gladiators were upset by a Habersham Central team that was winless heading into the game.
Lambert (7-1, 7-0) vs Chatta-hoochee (0-8, 0-7)
The Lambert Longhorns now control their own destiny in their region championship pursuit. With two wins, they can secure their first-ever region championship. They will face a Chattahoochee team that is winless this season on Friday.
The Cougars’ offensive pro-duction has kept many of their losses somewhat close. Howev-er, the offense has been unable to overcome the 42 points per game their defense is allowing. The Longhorns are averaging 30 points per game on offense.
Forsyth Central (3-5, 1-4) vs. Cambridge (6-2, 1-4)
Cambridge now must win out to have a chance at win-ning the Region 7-AAAAA Divi-sion B title after being defeated by Riverwood 49-26 last week. Riverwood (7-2, 5-1) leap-frogged Cambridge at the top of the standings with the win.
The Bears will take on a Forsyth Central team fresh off their first region win of the season. The Bulldogs defeated North Springs 56-14 last week.

WOODSTOCK, Ga. — The last time the Roswell Hornets scored 60 points in a game, Dwight D. Eisenhower was president and the first Mc-Donald’s franchise was just seven months old. It was November 1955. Sixty years later, the Hornets would set team records for most points scored in a game and largest margin of victory as they defeated the Woodstock Wolverines 69-7. It was also the worst loss margin for Woodstock in their school’s history.
Roswell (8-0, 7-0) continued to do what it has done all season— dominate on both sides of the ball. Through eight games, Roswell’s average margin of victory is 44 points as they are aver-aging 50 points on offense while their defense is allowing just six points per game.
Hornet’s quarterback Quintarius Neely went 11-14 for 183 yards and three touchdowns with five rushes for 20 yards. Neely played just 2 1/2 quarters before backup Walt Warren replaced him as the Hornets led 55-0.
Halfback Sheldon Evans, the team’s leading rusher, had 11 rushes for 74 yards and three touchdowns. Before backups were brought in, the Hornets had already compiled 193 yards rushing from six rushers.
Defensively, Roswell shut down Woodstock QB Liam Byrne, who entered the game with nearly 1,200 yards passing while sharing the QB duties. Koby Cumberlander made his pres-
ence felt throughout game, with multiple hur-ries and four sacks.
Linebacker Tre’ Lamar, who was selected to the Under Armour All-America Game earlier in the week, consistently brought pressure to By-rne and forced a sack. Tyrone Hopper also had a sack for the Hornets.
Roswell’s secondary never allowed Wood-stock receivers to create space, giving the front four and linebackers a chance to take down By-rne and force errant throws. Senior safety Jacob Ballard intercepted Byrne twice.
It took Roswell just 1:06 to find their way onto the scoreboard after a 50-yard drive was capped by a 10-yard Neely touchdown pass to Jayden Comma. Neely and Comma hooked up for another touchdown, this time for 62 yards, to extend their lead to 14-0.
Sheldon Evans scored the next two touch-downs for the Hornets, both inside the 5-yard line. Neely found the end zone three more times through the air and George Arowselu added a rushing touchdown to give the Hornets a 48-0 lead at halftime.
Roswell began the second half with three rushes from Evans that combined for 52 yards, the last being an 8-yard rush for a touchdown. With a 55-0 lead, backups for the Hornets offense were subbed-in and would finish the game.
Roswell sits atop the Region 5-AAAAAA standings and are the only undefeated team in the region. They will face Cherokee (4-4, 2-5) this Friday before finishing out the season against a talented Etowah team that is currently 7-1 in region play.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. - Four players from the Al-pharetta Ambush u13 soccer team were recently chosen to the Georgia Olympic Development (OPD) soccer team.

Wesleyan studenthonored for perfect SATALPHARETTA, Ga. —Andy Yang, an Alpharetta resi-dent and an eighth-grader of Wesleyan School in Peachtree Corners, was honored Oct. 18 as one of the brightest middle school students in the world at an international awards ceremony sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Uni-versity Center for Talented Youth (CTY).
The Center honored Yang for his exceptional perfor-mance as a middle school student on the college SAT test as part of the annual CTY Talent Search. CTY uses above-grade-level tests, such as the college SAT, ACT, or similar for middle school stu-dents, because they provide a clear picture of advanced students’ true academic abilities.
As a seventh grader, Yang scored a perfect 800 on the math section of SAT in the 2014-2015 CTY Talent
Search. As a result, Yang was also in-vited to join CTY’s Study of Excep-tional Talent (SET), a se-lect group of profoundly gifted stu-dents world-wide who achieve a score of 700 or higher on SAT reading or math before the age of 13. Andy’s score of 800 on the SAT-M as a seventh grader is superb.
Considering that Andy earned a perfect score on this portion of the test, it is possible that his true score would have been even higher than 800 if the ceiling was raised,» said Michelle Mura-tori, CTY’s Senior counselor and researcher of study of exceptional talent.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. - On Fri-day, Oct. 9, Alpharetta High School’s head coach and director of cheerleading, Katie Arnold, put together a foot-ball Friday event for Primrose School.
Alpharetta High School’s varsity cheerleaders and var-sity football players donated books and read to each of the classrooms.
They also talked to the students about being involved
in high school activities, and they spent time playing with the students. The students at Primrose made banners for the varsity football team and were involved in a pep rally. “Primrose does an amazing
job at getting the community involved and bringing relevant and interesting guest speakers and teachers into their school,” Katie Arnold said. “One of the main goals I have for my team this year is for them to be more
visible in the community and volunteer, teaching them to give back is very important to me. This opportunity pre-sented itself and everyone had a blast.”

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Mikaela Gauthreux and Brian Mocarski were honored as the XL212 Student-Athletes of the Month (SAM Award) at the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce February Eggs & Enterprise Breakfast Tuesday, Sept.22, 2015. The SAM award recognizes the outstanding accomplishments of deserving Student-Athletes in the greater North Fulton area. Winners are chosen from nominations made by area athletic direc-tors and coaches, and based on extraordinary academic pro-ficiency, exceptional athletic accomplishments, and dedica-tion to civic action.
Mikaela Gauthreux, a senior volleyball player from Johns Creek High School, was named the Female Stu-dent-Athlete of the Month for September. As of the date of the award, Gauthreux had 809 kills, 102 blocks, 597 digs and 129 aces. She selected to the All-Area team her sophomore and junior years. She was awarded the Johns Creek HS volleyball team’s Best Defen-
sive Player Award her junior year.
Off the court, Gauthreux received the Scholar Athlete award her past two seasons on the Varsity team. She is an ac-tive member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Young Life and the Gladiator Army.
“She is always the first player on the court and the last player off,” said Coach Beth Stephens. “Whether set-ting up or taking down the nets or just shagging balls she does whatever it takes. She understands that the team plays like they practice so she goes all out which only makes both her and her teammates better and more prepared for the their opponents. Mikaela is a smart volleyball player who truly knows the game and knows what she needs to do to be successful.”
Brian Mocarski, a junior football player from Holy Spirit Preparatory School, is the Male Student- Athlete of the Month for September. Through the first three games of the season he was 15 of 30 passing for
269 yards and two passing touchdowns. He also had 116 yards rushing with three rush-ing touchdowns. As the QB, he has led his team to within 4 yards of the all-time team rushing record in a game, with 352 yards versus Monsignor Donovan in the Catholic Cup Game.
Mocarski is in the top 10 percent of his class at Holy Spirit Prep and is involved in a number of on and off cam-
pus activities. He attended the Saint Joseph's Cohort Appala-chian summer service trip to Tennessee to help build homes for people in need. He is also a member of Delta Omega, a boys’ service fraternity.
“He is a quiet and calm leader, who leads by example,” said Coach David Rosenzweig. “No one ever has any bad words to say about him. His teammates all admire him and play with a certain confidence
knowing he's with them on the field. He had to learn a brand new offense over summer prac-tices. I already have full trust in him to run our new offense. He is an exceptional student-athlete who maximizes his abilities on and off the field. When he graduates it will be a true loss to our community and we will miss his wonderful example of a Holy Spirit Prep student.”

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Twenty-one French exchange students from the Lycée Saint-Jean Hulst in Versailles, France, are experiencing American culture and high school through an exchange organized by AHS French teacher, Katherine Rozei and Saint-Jean Hulst English teacher Bénédicte Applegate.
The French students are staying Oct. 19-29 with AHS host families and shadowing their host brother or sister’s class schedules.
In addition to interacting with AHS French classes and taking other academic classes with their host student, the French high schoolers have
made an appearance on the AHS Morning Show, attended their first football game and compared their systems of stu-dent government with the AHS Student Government. They also learned how to trick-or-treat at an after-school French Club Halloween party.
On two different days, the French exchange students took field trips to Atlanta to visit the Martin Luther King Center, the World of Coke, the Atlanta History Center and CNN.
Alpharetta students will go to Lycée Saint-Jean Hulst in April to learn about French culture and schools.

MILTON, Ga. – Tess Luman, of Milton, will receive the Daily Point of Light Award on Nov. 4 for her volunteer work with animal rescue. The award will be presented by The Points of Light Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to vol-unteer service.
The Daily Point of Light Award is given to a person who gives volunteer service to help within their communities.
Luman’s volunteer efforts have focused on animal res-cue. Over the past four years, Luman has dedicated 600 hours of volunteer service with the Forsyth County Animal Rescue.
As Luman explained, “Ev-ery year in the U.S., 10 million cats and dogs enter a shelter and more than half are put down because there is no room to keep them until they are adopted.” Last school year, she organized a pet food fundrais-
er, alongside Cambridge High School’s spring musical, “An-nie.” “We collected more than 250 pounds of dry food and 200 cans to help them care for their “orphans” – enough to feed 65 rescued dogs and cats for a month,” she said.
Last summer, she traveled to Washington, D.C., to receive the Congressional Award Gold
Medal. The Congressional Award is for young Americans. Nonpartisan, voluntary and noncompetitive, the program is open to all 14- to 23-year-olds.
Volunteering for the For-syth County Animal Rescue has taught Luman “respon-sibility, patience, and com-passion – and that even one person can make a difference.”

said.Spencer said the area is
blighted and needs improve-ment, but work needs to be done first.
“We need relief on our road-ways before we put something there,” he said. “But we have to be careful of what we won’t allow so we don’t get what we don’t want.”
Namely, the 1 million square feet of office.
“I like the concept but it doesn’t make sense. It will be really expensive to live there. How will millennials afford that?” asked Porter, himself a millennial. “And our traf-fic problems would only get worse.” What are ways to revitalize Holcomb Bridge Road?
Wynn said Riverwalk would be one way, but she is more concerned with the north-west quadrant of the Holcomb Bridge/ Ga. 400 intersection. It is a high crime area, she said, and needs to be redeveloped. Proposals for the Big Creek Parkway bridge and a new MARTA station would help.
“We’re not ever going to get rid of traffic but I hope one of these projects will solve some problems,” she said.
Palermo took issue with city policies that are not entic-ing enough for redevelopment.
“There are no motivations or incentives for [developers],” he said, “and speculators are holding on to properties.”The City Green develop-ment?
Roswell is proposing a $15 million renovation to the woods between City Hall and Ga. 9/ Canton Street. A town green would be created, link-ing the two sides. The Faces of War Vietnam Memorial and the World War II Memorial are planned to be moved to one side of the green.
Dippolito called the overall project “wonderful.”
“There is strength when there is activity on both sides of the street,” he said. “Here we have retail with woods on the other side [of the street]. The Green ties it all together.”
It would open Canton Street with the parking attached to City Hall. Currently, the woods bisect the two areas.
Zapata, his opponent, did not disagree, but took issue with the project.
“It has huge potential, but
not for $15 million,” he said.That money could be better
spent elsewhere, he said.Gray called it a “van-
ity project” and said the two war memorials should not be moved.
His opponent, Porter, agreed.
“We want to preserve green space but not our history?” he asked. “It’s embarrassing and offensive.
The only Post 3 candidate to support the project was Spencer.
“Duluth did the same and it turned out well. We can do the same here,” he said. “But I would rather not move the memorials.”Transportation
The state recently passed a law allowing counties to enact a penny sales tax to be ap-plied strictly to transportation projects.
“We need a comprehensive, regional plan. If we don’t have that, we don’t go anywhere,” said Wynn.
Ultimately, she said, citizens will have to vote on whether to spend that penny sales tax on projects.
Palermo agreed.“We can all agree … we
need to improve transporta-tion,” he said.
“We need to take this to the taxpayers,” said Dippolito. “There is a tremendous need [for the penny tax]. There are more projects than we could ever fund.”
Zapata said that, beyond the penny tax, the city needs to work on a better partner-ship with the regional play-ers, including the county and MARTA, for better connectivity and lessening traffic.
The Roswell City Council elections are Nov. 3.
The Roswell Woman’s Club is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation whose common interest is to support Roswell in the areas of educa-tional scholarships and grants, human services, cultural arts, historical preservation and urban improvement.

Arrests:and highest euthanasia rate. There isn’t a lot of solid infor-mation out there as to why that’s the case, but it is prob-ably linked to superstitions. Black cats are supposedly the harbingers of bad luck. You are warned not to let them cross your path or you’ll suf-fer the consequences.
With Halloween right around the corner, a lot of shelters often keep their black felines away from the public
and won’t adopt them out due to fear of horrible people adopting them to do harm or people wanting them as props during the Halloween season.
There are countless stories of people buying or adopting black cats near Halloween to mistreat the animals and some rumors of horrifying tales of black cats being sac-rificed.
Now, I don’t know how much of that is true, but the fact remains that black cats are often overlooked or ignored at animal shelters, which might be why Ed had been left behind years earlier.
It’s also true that black dogs are usually forgotten when families are choosing a new pet. This is disheartening to me because all homeless ani-mals deserve to be loved.
Next time you or your fam-ily or friends are considering bringing a new furry fam-ily member into the picture, consider a black cat or dog. I can guarantee they will be one of the best pets you’ve ever had, maybe even the very best. Plus, who doesn’t want a mini-panther around their house? And if you don’t like them, well, feel free to bring them to me.

Pinecrest Academy (7-1, 4-0) vs. King’s Ridge (1-7, 1-3)
Pinecrest’s only loss so far came at the hands of defend-ing state champions Mount Paran in a non-region game. In region play, Pinecrest is 4-0 and can clinch a subre-gion championship with a win over a struggling King’s Ridge
team. Pinecrest is coming off of a
34-21 victory over Fellowship Christian. King’s Ridge only win this season came against Whitefield Academy on Oct. 9.
Roswell (8-0, 7-0) vs. Chero-kee (4-4, 2-4)
In what will likely be a season full of team records, Roswell is coming off a 69-7 win over Woodstock that set team records for points scored in a game and margin of vic-tory.
This Friday, the Hornets will travel back to Cherokee County to take on the Chero-kee Warriors, who have lost three straight games.
With a win and an Etowah loss, Roswell will secure the Region 6-AAAAAA champion-ship.
If Roswell is upset by the Warriors, they would still win the region title with a win over Etowah next week.
Roswell’s average margin of victory this year is a stag-gering 44 points per game.

In eight years none of her patients, who have participated in her advanced method and followed her advice, have suf-fered heart attacks or strokes.
