FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A woman life’s was saved March 8 by a Forsyth County Sheriff’s deputy who knew what to do thanks to training he received earlier this year.

Deputy William Miller and his partner responded to a local hotel for a welfare check on a woman after being contacted by one of her family mem-bers. Due to circumstances found on scene, deputies entered the hotel room with the hotel manager’s assistance. In the room, they located an unresponsive woman in her 30s who did not initially appear to be breathing. They began ad-ministering aid and found a very faint pulse with the woman occasionally gasping for air. A police report showed a “used syringe laying on the nightstand, and a suicde letter laying next to her on the bed.”

Miller recognized the signs of a heroin overdose after recently attending training earlier this year, where he was issued Naloxone, a drug that count-ers the effects of heroin and can save lives during overdoses. Miller quickly administered the Naloxone, commonly referred to as Narcan, to the woman,

who began to breathe more steadily and show signs of responding. Medical per-sonnel arrived on scene and she was trans-ported to a hospital where she is receiving treatment.

“I’m ex-tremely proud of our deputies and the actions they took that night,” said Sheriff Duane Piper. “We’re going to con-tinue raising awareness of the dangers of all drugs, but heroin in particular. We will also continue to arrest people that sell or possess the drugs.”

This is the first time the FCSO has utilized Narcan since obtaining it recently. The FCSO is aiming to get Narcan to all deputies, but right now they’re staging it so someone on every

shift has it. In addition to Narcan, the FCSO

wanted to remind everyone about Georgia’s Medical Amnesty Law which allows people to call 911 if they are with someone who may be overdosing, without fear of being arrested. The law was passed to help reduce the number of lives being lost due to overdoses.

First life saved using overdose reversal drug

Identity fraud suspect arrested 7 years laterALPHARETTA, Ga. — A suspect be-lieved to be involved in a case of iden-tity fraud from 2009 was arrested by Alpharetta police March 10 after her paper trail caught up with her.

When the woman, Shanika Hicks, was arrested in Rockdale County, her

name also popped up on a 2009 arrest warrant for identity theft in Alpharetta.

Hicks is the main suspect behind a case seven years ago, when a woman contacted the police about three false charges on her credit card. The woman reported June 13, 2009, purchases with a wireless service company total-ing over $200 that she hadn’t made.

In an incident earlier that day, the victim had a problem with the card’s magnetic strip and the cashier had to copy the card.

Apparently, the cashier, Hicks, had copied down the number which was then used to make the subsequent fraudulent charges.

Two days later, another $100 in fraudulent charges appeared on the card.

Police traced the payments to three separate account numbers. Two of the accounts share the same address and are believed to be owned by Hicks, who allegedly used a pseudonym for one. The third account holder was found to have lived with Hicks.

After investigating Hicks, the police found that she had been the cashier who had rung up the woman’s items June 13, 2009.

Hicks claimed that she had acciden-

Not at your waist line, but on your face! How many times do you look in the mirror and you think…that can’t be me! You envision yourself as energetic and youthful, but your eyes tell a diff erent story. You fi nd the droopy skin of your upper eye-lids make you look disinterested or angry. The puffi ness and dark circles of your lower eyelids make you look tired and aged.

Gone are the days that you have to grow graceful with age…YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Eyelid rejuvenation is a common outpatient procedure which combines the use of minimally-invasive facial injectables and surgical techniques. Botox and Dysport can be used to relax the tense muscles of the brow and forehead and diminish prominent crow’s feet. Fillers, such as Restylane, Juvederm, and Sculptra, can be used to correct loss of natural volume that occurs with age restoring a youthful contour to the eyelid and cheek. Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery can be performed to remove excess skin and fat around the eyes. These pro-cedures can be performed with minimal to no scarring. Upper eyelid surgery in some circumstances may be covered by your medical insurance.

At Milan Eye Center, Dr. Kiran Sajja has demonstrated unsurpassed skill in the use of facial injectables and eyelid surgery. He has been designated, by his peers, as one of the “Best Doctors in America”. Dr. Sajja is a fellowship-trained, Board-certifi ed ophthalmologist specializing in reconstructive and cosmetic oculofacial plastic surgery. This unique background means Dr. Sajja possesses the microsurgical precision of an eye surgeon and the artistry and imagination of a plastic surgeon. Dr. Sajja uses a wide variety of injectable products and surgical techniques to achieve your desired result. Dr. Sajja welcomes the opportunity to discuss your specifi c cosmetic concerns and work with you to design an appropriate and individualized treatment plan.

MILTON, Ga. – A consideration of re-zoning the southeast corner of Birming-ham Road and Birmingham Highway, which included deleting retail buildings along Birmingham Highway and replac-ing with townhomes, was denied March 21 at the Milton City Council meeting.

Many spoke on the issue, which was debated for just over two hours, in-cluding 14 people against the rezoning request. In addition to the many public commenters against the proposal, the Milton Community Development Department also recommended the council deny the consideration.

Currently the 22.1-acre parcel at Birmingham Crossroads is used for a one-story block building and single-family residence with accessory struc-tures. The intent for the area is to mod-ify one of the conditions to revise the site plan to delete retail buildings along Birmingham Highway and replace with townhomes.

Community Development Direc-tor, Kathleen Field, said the site was rezoned from Community Business and Manufacturing to Mixed Use in 2004.

“The central premise of both the plan and the overlay was that the Birmingham Crossroads should be a neighborhood node consisting of 27.1 acres which at that time recommended up to 100,000 square feet of commer-cial uses, up to 100,000 square feet of office uses, and up to five residential units per acre,” Field said.

Since then, portions of the quadrant have been developed, leaving the

southeast quadrant undeveloped other than the existing structures on the 22.3 acres.

“A previous request to modify the site plan and conditions was approved pursuant to [the zoning] on June 16, 2014, to reduce the approved density for the office, commercial retail, and eliminate the day care facility along Birmingham Road,” she said.

Specifically, it reduced the retail/of-fice from 39,000 square feet to 22,250 square feet, she said.

“This request also proposed to replace some of the townhouse units previously developed with single-family detached homes within the interior of the development,” she said. “Included in the approved conditions were nu-merous design requirements for the residential units.”

So when a meeting was held in

February 2015, many members of the community spoke on how they were concerned about the deletion of retail in lieu of townhomes, citing it was incon-sistent with the Birmingham Cross-roads plan.

A reduction of square feet in the retail building along Birmingham Road is not consistent with the Birming-ham Crossroads plan recommendation of providing a mix of uses including commercial/office and residential uses within the southeast quadrant, Field said.

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The Fulton County School Board has named Jeff Rose, current superintendent of the Beaverton School District in Oregon, as the sole finalist for the district’s next superintendent.

Following a 14-day comment period ending March 31, Rose is expected to sign a three-year contract with Fulton Schools to begin June 1.

Rose, 43, has been the superinten-dent for Oregon’s third-largest school district for the past five years, following a three-year stint as the head of the Canby (Oregon) School District.

“I am honored to join Fulton County Schools,” said Rose, during a March 17 news conference announcing his hire. “I will be committed to serve and lead in a manner that builds on the past suc-cess, trust and forward trajectory that this district has shaped.”

He noted that, as a father of two young children, the choice to come to

Fulton Schools was more than a profes-sional one.

“As a husband and father of two children, the schools and com-munity will be a great benefit for my family,” said Rose. He and his wife, Lisa, have a 12-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son who will attend Fulton schools.

Fulton School Board President Linda McCain said Rose meets the criteria established by the board, and matches what constituents want in a superintendent, based on a recent survey.

Those attributes include a back-ground in education, leadership and communication skills, and integrity.

“This job requires a skill set often found among the top CEOs of Fortune 500 companies and the board has been diligent in making this choice,” said McCain. “We are confident we have the right new leader to help us continue to close our achievement gap and build on our current strengths.”

Rose has a doctorate in educational leadership and a master’s degree in

teacher dducation from Lewis & Clark College in Oregon and a bachelor’s de-gree in education from California State University, Long Beach.

Over an education tenure span-ning two decades, Rose has also been an educational assistant, classroom teacher, principal and director of school improvement in Oregon schools.

The Beaverton School District is located in the suburbs of Portland, and has 41,000 students in its 51 schools – about half the size of Fulton Schools. McCain noted the districts share simi-larities, including a diverse population and high student achievement.

The selection of Rose also garnered a nod of approval from former Fulton superintendent Robert Avossa.

Both are members of the Large Countywide and Suburban District Consortium made up of 20 school districts from 11 states, ranked among the most successful school systems, according to the Education Counsel and The School Superintendents Asso-ciation.

“It is clear he has a deep passion for ensuring all kids learn and reach their full potential,” said Avossa, the cur-rent superintendent of the Palm Beach County (Florida) School System. “He

has found a way to support traditional educational values while being inno-vative and strategic. Fulton County Schools has an optimistic future with Dr. Rose.”

Gwinnett School System Superin-tendent Alvin Wilbanks also lauded the choice of Rose for Fulton Schools, noting “I have known Jeff Rose for sev-eral years … and I consider him to be a deep and strategic thinker. He has the knowledge base, skill set, and talent pool needed to be a successful superin-tendent.”

The board had previously selected Philip Lanoue, superintendent of Clarke County Schools, as the sole finalist. He withdrew his name after controversy erupted over his handling of an inci-dent in his school system.

Rose has been considered in the initial search, but withdrew his name prior to the board’s decision to hire Lanoue.

According to school officials, Rose was “persuaded” to re-enter consider-ation after Lanoue withdrew.

His annual base salary from Fulton Schools will be $295,000. His base salary in Beaverton was $200,000 annually, making him the second-high-est-paid superintendent in Oregon.

Oregon’s Jeff Rose tapped as new FC superintendent Scheduled to take helm on June 1

8 | March 24, 2016 | Milton Herald | NorthFulton.com OPINION

If there’s a theme that sets this politi-cal season apart, it’s the voters’ utter dis-dain for most of the people who practice politics. They’re fed up with politicians, they’ve lost faith and confidence in the political elite and they don’t be-lieve that the realm

where politicians ply their craft — gov-ernment — works.

The two presidential contenders who have most channeled this frustration, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, have electrified many voters who want to get this message across. They’ve mo-bilized new voters, people more main-stream politicians haven’t reached. The involvement of more Americans in the political system, though it unsettles the old order, is bracing.

There are many legitimate reasons for these people to be turned off by the political system today. But I’d argue that if you’re hell-bent on shaking up the system, you also need to under-stand it — and understand that certain features are likely to persist no matter how hard you try to change them.

The first is that it is very hard to make our representative democracy work. We make progress incrementally, over years if not generations. The first president to press hard for affordable, accessible health care was Harry Tru-

man. It’s taken us that long even to get close — and no one would argue that the work is done.

So you have to approach poli-tics with great patience. Our system discourages the rush to judgment. It puts a premium on including as many voices as possible, which takes time in a complicated country. The process is inevitably slow, noisy and messy, the results fully satisfy no one, and more often than not the best we can do is to muddle through.

Which is why in our system, there’s rarely a sense of completion. The work — on health care, taxes, the environ-ment, you name it — is never done. Nothing is ever finally settled. There is no ultimate solution.

Many people are also turned off by what lies at the center of our system: dealmaking. This involves a clash of ideas in the public arena, compromise and negotiation, which make a lot of Americans uneasy. Yet it’s how we resolve our differences — and has been since the first day of the United States’ existence.

So politicians who insist on purity impede solutions. There ought to be a healthy tension between idealism and realism, but we have to find a prag-matic way to combine them. We have to consider different points of view, the intense involvement of special interest groups, and in many cases the robust interest shown by ordinary citizens.

This makes it challenging to come to an agreement on complicated issues,

but it’s necessary to keep the country from coming apart.

Congress in recent years has reached new levels of polarization and failure to address the major issues of the day. In public meetings, I often encounter a yearning for leadership to solve all our problems, usually along the lines of, “Where are the Abe Lin-colns of our day?” Sadly, it’s a false hope.

Our problems are made by us and have to be resolved by us. Abraham Lincoln’s not around anymore.

We cannot look to government to solve all our problems. Indeed, we live in an era in which government faces more and more problems it cannot effectively deal with.

Increasingly, citizens have to step forward and fill the void that gov-ernment leaves. The relevance of the citizen increases every day as power is more diffuse. Technology empowers individuals, and social media allows more citizens to express their views, vent their frustrations and mobilize

organizations.We may well be moving into the

century of the citizen. I think of the woman who got rail-crossing signals fitted out at dangerous intersections in Indiana after her daughter was killed at a rail crossing with no signals. Or of my neighbor, who helped build a movement to press for accurate labeling of food ingredients because he was diabetic and had no way of knowing the sugar content of goods.

Our communities and lives are better because of citizen action. Indeed, unless citizens boost their involvement and contributions, many of our prob-lems will not be solved.

Our system discourages the rush to judgment … The process is inevitably slow, noisy and messy, the results fully satisfy no one, and more often than not the best we can do is to muddle through.

If you ask people what image comes to mind when they think of Milton, the answers you will most likely get are: equestrian farms, beautiful rural land and horse country.

You see the horse in every example of “the best quality of life” in the city’s branding: its logo, signage, compre-hensive plan and monthly newsletters.

Although only about 6 percent of Milton’s population is directly involved with horses or horse-related busi-nesses, the images of pastures, barns and horses grazing is so much a part of the character of Milton that it’s hard to think of the city without equestrian farms.

Milton’s comprehensive plan com-pleted in 2011 states “plentiful scenic areas, pastoral areas and woodlands

are the hallmarks of the community character and should be preserved.”

The 2030 plan goes on to say that Milton has preserved a unique pattern of equestrian-oriented development. But there has been no “preservation” of equestrian properties.

As of April 2015 – and that number has most certainly dwindled – there were only 1,600 acres remaining in Mil-ton in large parcels of 10 acres or more.

We have all witnessed these large equestrian and estate properties falling to development, typically to 1-acre lots. Properties that had horses grazing on beautiful pastures are now Milton-style 1-acre urban sprawl.

To conserve our equestrian and large estate properties, first the land-owner needs to see value in main-

taining their property as equestrian, agricultural or open space use.

Preservation of the land is a vol-untary act to place the property into a conservation easement – a legal in-strument that restricts the use of the land to only permitted conservation purposes and prohibits development in perpetuity.

The point is there are ways to con-serve the beautiful equestrian farms in Milton. It means working closely with the equestrian community and other large landowners to give them the information to look at options for their land and their future before this land disappears forever.

It’s not reasonable to expect that all equestrian properties can be preserved and saved from development. But, if

you don’t start collaborating now, you can’t expect the end result to be any different than it has been in the past 10 years that Milton has been incorpo-rated. That is with no land preserved, just hollow wording in the city’s comp plan.

If you’d like more information, I encourage you to get involved in the current movement for the city’s green space bond, and check out the educa-tional information about land con-servation available for continuing the equestrian heritage at preserveruralmil-ton.org

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A man and a woman overturned their canoe and were trapped on shoals near Jones Bridge Park on March 15. The Johns Creek Fire Department’s (JCFD) Swift Water Rescue Unit responded with its new high-powered rescue boat. The boat, which has a 200hp jet drive mo-tor, powered its way upstream from the Jones Bridge Road ramp and rescued the couple.

“A lot of people tend to underesti-mate the Chattahoochee River,” said Fire Chief Jeff Hogan. “It doesn’t have a lot of churning rapids, but when the Army Corps of Engineers releases water from Buford Dam, the river picks up a lot of speed and can rise rapidly. Before heading out to the river, we recommend that you check with the Corps about when the water release will occur and when the rise is expected to hit the area of the river you will be visiting.”

During a release, the Chattahoochee can rise as much as 11 feet in minutes. The water can be as cold as 47 degrees, which is low enough to induce hypo-thermia and hamper efforts to swim to shore.

The Army Corps of Engineers re-leases water from Buford Dam during weekday afternoons unless there are unusual downstream water demands or

especially heavy rains. In those situa-tions, unscheduled water releases can occur in the morning and on weekends.

The Corps provides notice, but the announcements vary from a few min-utes to a few hours before each release. Release information is available by call-ing 770-945-1466 or listening to radio 1610AM. River users may also view the daily schedule at http://water.sam.usace.army.mil/todaySched.htm for

release times (see the Buford column).JCFD acquired a custom-made res-

cue boat last year. The boat provides sufficient power and versatility to reach and save people more quickly. The boat has only a four inch draft, which allows it to move over most shoals, the gun-nels (sides) of the boat are lower, which makes it easier to enter the boat from the water, and it has a hand-cranked hoist to lift a lightweight stretcher.

JC Swift Water Rescue Unit makes first 2016 rescue Before going on the ChattahoocheeFire Chief Jeff Hogan offers these simple precautions before enter-ing the river:• Call ahead to see when Lake

Lanier releases from Buford Dam are scheduled. And call just before entering the river. Be aware of the release time and head for the shore when the release is scheduled. Water level can change in minutes and the water swiftness increases.

• Always wear a flotation device.• Keep an eye on the water level

- note the water level on a solid fixture, such as a bridge support. If the water level has risen, it’s time to get out!

• Just because you’re in a boat, don’t assume you’re safe. People have drowned after their boat struck rocks broadside and overturned.

• Make sure someone knows where you are. If you get into trouble, someone can find you and alert authorities.

• Pay attention to where you are - there are mile-markers along the river. If you have to make an emergency call, you can better inform authorities where to find you.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — By the year 2022, high school students in Fulton County could opt to attend one of two cam-puses focused on science, technology, engineering and math that will send them on a career pathway to high-de-mand, high-paying jobs in information technology, health care sciences and engineering.

One of those STEM-focused cam-puses is slated for Milton Center, the old Milton High School, in downtown Alpharetta, with a second location in South Fulton. Both campuses are included in the district’s Capital Pro-grams plan for 2017-2022, although no firm timelines have been set.

Building the schools may also hinge on the fate of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. Voters will be asked to renew the one-cent tax for another five-year term on May 24 to fund the Capital plan.

During a recent presentation to the Fulton County Board of Education, Yalanda Bell, executive director of Ca-reer and Technical Education, outlined the need for STEM-focused schools, and the research that went into the conceptual plan for the curriculum.

The goal, Bell noted, was to offer students a “relevant and applicable curriculum so that they leave our dis-trict with college and work-ready skills they can instantly” use.

The focus was on three aspects for success: partnerships with business and industry, workforce trends data and student interest.

To nail down the fields where de-mand for workers is high and supply is low, the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce assisted in providing work-force trends in Fulton County. The data shows the county has robust opportu-nities in health care sciences, primarily nursing, engineering and information technology.

Data from recent ACT reports also showed high student interests in these fields.

“It was amazing how many students were actually interested in health care science and engineering as a part of the STEM concept,” said Bell. “While we know there is a workforce shortage in technology and health care, we also know our students are especially inter-ested in [these fields].”

The STEM-focused campuses will provide students a curriculum allowing students to transition directly into the workforce, receive industry certification credentials, and/or obtain college credit while still in high school.

Students can also make informed decisions on their potential salary.

For example, a student who grad-uates from high school as a certified nursing assistant can earn $31,000, said Bell. But that student can double their salary with a two-year degree as a registered nurse, or more than triple that with a four-year degree as a nurse practitioner.

Students will take all required core academic courses while participating in the STEM curriculum. Courses will in-clude biotechnology, nursing, pre-med,

megatronics, robotics, information technology, networking and computer programming.

The concept of STEM-focused cam-puses garnered unanimous support from the board, which has been push-ing for school choice options for years.

“I think this is one our best pro-grams and a great vision for our schools,” said Linda Bryant of South Fulton.

For years, the state has pushed a college prep curriculum which did not fit the vast numbers of students who graduate from high school and go straight to work.

“Look at where we are now - we’ve

done a 180, and the state and Fulton County have finally come up to the real world,” said board member Gail Dean of Sandy Springs/South Fulton.

For school board member Katie Reeves of Alpharetta, the Milton STEM school would help alleviate overcrowd-ing at other area high schools, many of which are bursting at the seams.

“Our high schools continue to attract families who want to have their children in high-performing high schools,” said Reeves. “I am very con-cerned about the stress on our high school capacity and I will be very anx-ious to find out how soon we are able to break ground on the STEM campus.

STEM campus eyed for old Milton HSProgram will focus on health care, technology and engineering

tally taken the card number home after writing it down so the manager could run the card. She said her housemate had used the number to pay their cell phone bills. According to police, in such a situation, there would have been no reason for Hicks to write down the card number. The manager would swipe it through a manual machine to make a carbon copy and run the card.

Police charged Hicks with iden-tity fraud and put out a warrant for her arrest when she failed to appear to answer police questions. But the computer never forgets. She was taken into custody seven years later when she turned up at the Rockdale County Jail.

Break-in victim loses items worth $2,150MILTON, Ga. — A local man reported a break-in at his home March 10 with around $2,150 worth of possessions missing. Alexander Asser returned home around 5 p.m. to find his door lock damaged and his possessions missing. No one was found inside the home. The allegedly stolen items include an Ibanez bass guitar, two gold dress watches, a HP Envy Touchsmart m6 Sleekbook and multiple check-books. Their total value exceeds $2,150.

A maintenance person was already on the scene fixing the lock before the police could investigate, therefore the crime scene was contaminated.

No suspects have been named at this time.

Pizza order leadsto identity fraudMILTON, Ga. — A woman ordering pizza March 15 reported fraudulent activity on her credit card after receiv-ing a strange phone call confirming the payment.

The woman attempted to place an order at local pizzaria online. A Yelp search brought her to bringmethat.com, an online food delivery service, where she placed an order of about $35. According to the woman, less than five minutes later a man “with a gruff voice” called her claiming that the credit card machine was not working and that she needed to pay in cash once the delivery arrived. Her credit card statement, however, showed that the charge was pending. She was unable to reach the man again after calling back.

The pizzaria storeowner likewise received a call from a man “with a gruff voice” who gave him the woman’s order, address and phone number. The store-

owner stated that he does not receive online orders. His website has been suspended. The woman’s receipts were collected for evidence and her bank has been notified.

Former employee suspected in identity theft casesJOHNS CREEK, Ga. — One man is sus-pected for multiple cases of fraudulent activity targeting his former boss after he was fired.

On March 11, Roberts Puccini called the Johns Creek Police Department to report two cases of fraudulent activity.

He had received a letter from the IRS asking him to confirm his recent activity on his online account. Puccini stated that he has not used the account recently and that someone had at-tempted to obtain his tax return using his social security number.

Puccini likewise had received a letter from Springleaf Financial Services stating that a loan, for which he had not applied, had been denied. A call to the company revealed that some-one had applied for a loan in Puccini’s name for an undisclosed amount of money Feb. 16. The Springleaf repre-sentative stated that the individual had used Puccini’s name, address, date of birth and social security number.

The loan was denied because Springleaf was unable to verify the applicant’s income and identity due to incomplete information.

Puccini suspects the former em-ployee, whom he had problems with in the past, is behind the fraudulent activity and identity theft.

Stolen credit cardgets $2,000 hitJOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A woman’s wallet was stolen from her purse March 11 while shopping at a grocery store and someone attempted to use her credit card to run up charges totaling $2,000. However, the credit card com-pany became suspicious and denied the charges.

The woman reported that her wallet was in her purse when entering the store, but was missing upon leaving. She was called by her husband shortly after attempting to check out and was told that fraudulent charges were al-ready on her credit card. The attempted charges to Target were denied.

The woman recalled that another woman approached her with many odd questions while she was in the back of the store. The purse with her wallet had been sitting in the shopping cart.

She believes the conversation could have been a ploy to distract her while another individual stole the wallet from her purse.

The Bright Ideas classroom grants were awarded to teachers in Forsyth and North Fulton area schools. Local recipients included Vicki Sexton – Whit-low Elementary School, Joy Depalo – Alexsander Academy, Michele Napiorski – Alexsander Academy, Nancy Sellinger – Alexsander Academy, and Courtney Sexton – Alexsander Academy.

Interested applicants are required to submit an application to the Foun-dation Board for their consideration. In order to qualify for a grant, the char-ity must be located in Sawnee EMC’s service area and/or provide a service to the community. Teachers can also ap-ply for funds through the Bright Ideas program, which is part of Operation Round Up. A public or private teacher

is eligible to apply for funding as long as the school he or she teaches at is within the Sawnee EMC service area.

These programs are made possible by the 20,000 plus members of Sawnee EMC that make the decision each

month to round their electric bill up to the next highest dollar. This “extra change” goes directly into the Sawnee Foundation and is gifted back out into the communities Sawnee EMC serves. The average donation a member makes annually is $6, for pennies a month. These small, yet generous, donations

have allowed the Foundation Board to donate over $1.8 Million back into the communities since inception in 2003.

If the medical discipline of brain health or psychi-atric disorders is misunderstood, depression is the stepchild borne of stigma. Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a disease of the brain that carries a physical burden on

the patient worse than a heart attack. There are two schools of thought re-garding the origins of depression. The first is the old (and I mean old) psy-choanalytic model that defines depres-sion as “anger toward others turned inward.” The second approach uses the approach that MDD is a medical illness caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.

As a physician, I personally and clinically throw out the psychoanalytic model. The chemical imbalance model is based on targeted, modern, medical science, including data from neuro-im-aging trials.

The NIH, universities and even pharmaceutical companies have been collecting DNA samples from patient volunteers with various psychiatric diseases for the past 15-plus years. Ex-perts across the board believe that the focus of future research and obtaining a deeper understanding of depression includes identifying the specific genetic predisposition to this illness. Some even think it may be a constellation of genes.

A recent study published in Nature showed that adding a diabetes medi-cation to an antidepressant protected the telomeres (the caps on the end of chromosomes, our DNA). By protecting the structural integrity of the telomeres this treatment combination provided a better quality of life than outcomes for patients given an antidepressant plus a placebo.

While cognitive behavioral therapy has value in a comprehensive treat-ment protocol, first-line treatment must include addressing depression as a root cause of functional impairment. For that reason, the genetic-chemical-be-havioral paradigm is the most effective way to address brain illnesses such as depression.

Genetics! What a profound concept and segue to start the discussion on de-stigmatization of brain health. Psy-chiatric illnesses such as anxiety and depression clearly run in families. Some

families are open and talk about the disease, encouraging their loved ones to get help, while other families pretend it does not exist. If hypertension or high cholesterol runs in the family, everyone is off to find a specialist after discus-sions at the family reunion.

People are happy to discuss their current LDL numbers or dosage of Lipitor, but no one is willing to discuss their Prozac prescription.

How do we get the world to see psychiatric illnesses for what they are — medical conditions? How do we talk openly about anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar and schizophrenia? Hopefully medical science has started the change in perceptions. The research on genetics, new approaches to treat-ment, new medications and new tech-nologies have all helped us to better understand the etiology of psychiatric disease.

My team is currently testing not only new medications but also innova-tive approaches such as Botox well as low-frequency magnetic stimulation as potential antidepressants, and intrave-nous infusions of medications similar to ketamine.

It is an exciting time to be a re-search physician but an even more exciting (and heartening) time for indi-viduals whose daily life is negatively af-fected by illnesses like depression. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer and brighter every day.

MILTON, Ga. – For more years than most Milton residents can remember, there has always been a Hamp Phillips operating the family saddle and tack store on Hopewell Road in Milton, even after a fire destroyed it two years ago.

Hamp Alred Phillips was a much-loved figure around the close-knit equestrian community. When an electrical fire destroyed the barn that had been Hamp’s for decades, the horse folks did the 21st century version of passing the hat. Hamp’s customers and friends went to GoFundMe, a fund-raising website, to start a rebuilding campaign that quickly raised more than $20,000.

The new 1,500-square-foot building on a concrete slab is packed with gear.

And when Hamp died in Septem-ber 2015 at age 78, his son, Hampton Pierce Phillips, bought the house and shop out of the estate to continue run-ning the business.

“My sister and I talked it over. The people here were so good to Dad, and did so much to keep the store open, we decided we just had to keep it going,” he said.

So he is the third generation and his son, Lex Hampton Phillips, is the fourth generation to run the Milton tack shop. They like keeping the Hampton name in the family as well as in the community.

“Yes, it was my granddaddy who started it. So for most folks, Hamp’s has always been here,” Hamp Pierce Phillips said. “So I’m third generation. We buy, sell, trade and repair saddles. If the kids want it after I’m gone, it’s up to them.”

It was the customers who convinced Hamp Pierce to take on the business.

“Dad’s customers mourned him for

bit after he died. But now they’re coming back, and we’re getting a lot of new customers,” he said.

“But it’s amazing to hear how much he was loved by folks. And he was at the shop every day of his life until nine days before he died.”

Hamp Pierce said he is running the store the same way – coming in every day and selling at reasonable prices.

“I don’t need to make a lot of money. It’s the people really. They’re why I like the job.”

Horse people are good people, he said. They all know one another and they are loyal to each other.

“I had forgotten how much I liked horse people,” Hamp Pierce said. “But talking to them, you see it is a real community. They’re all different people, but they have horses in common.”

People love horses for different reasons – they like to ride or they are interested in equitation (formal riding that is judged). They raise them, trade them or participate in horse rescue.

The other day, a couple from Boston stopped by on their way to Florida. A former Milton horse fancier had told them about Hamp’s, so they made the detour just to look around and chat.

“They bought some stuff, and we had a good talk. That’s just how horse people are,” he said.

When he was a boy, lots of folks owned horses. They were commonplace on farms. He recalled how his grand-father and that generation had wagon trains where people would get their horses, wagons, buggies and such and follow the road from Midway to just below the dam on Lake Lanier.

“It was just a big horse ride.

Grandpa, Daddy, my sister and me, we’d all go. We grew up around horses. There were farms to be plowed and gar-dened. Everybody had a horse.”

Milton has changed quite a bit since he grew up here, but he says he likes the way the city is holding onto equine traditions. It was bit of change for Hamp Pierce who, had always lived in the country.

Town living brings changes, he said.“I cut down a few pine trees and

found out the city has an arborist. Well, I have to learn city ways now, and I’ll pay a little fine. But that’s OK,” he said. “It does take a lot more dedication and tolerance to live in the city than I was used to in the country.

“But what I like is the way every-body at City Hall was glad that I would be carrying on the store. They really wanted it to keep going and being a part of the city. And it impressed me that they were truly glad I was going to stay.”

It was clear to him that to operate

the business he would have to live in Milton on the property, and so he has readjusted. He recalls riding his bike on Hopewell Road as a child. He says he wouldn’t try that now.

What he absolutely loves about Mil-ton is how the city is bent on maintain-ing its equine traditions.

“I’m proud that Milton values that heritage and values the horse commu-nity. I would love to see more farms and less houses, but I understand things change. But Milton has been great.

“The city wants us to keep our down-home ways. And we were made to feel welcome. That counts for a lot.”

Hamp Pierce says he knows he has to adjust to city ways but he under-stands.

“We’ve got to have rules in society, and I understand that. But sometimes folks get ruled to death. It is not that way in Milton. I haven’t met anybody down at City Hall I didn’t like.

“I’d sit down and eat dinner with any of them.”

ROSWELL, Ga. — In hopes of lessen-ing the number of abortions in Fulton County, the Pregnancy Aid Clinic pro-vides free services including pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and counseling.

Originally founded in 1984 in Hape-ville, the PAC has grown to include two additional clinics – a mobile RV unit that can travel to women who can’t get to one of the health centers, and the newest location in Roswell at 281 South Atlanta Road. The Roswell clinic, which opened in October, is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Women can schedule a time to come in — or they can just walk in — to the Roswell location to find out if they are pregnant. Then they can choose to have an ultrasound, after which they can talk to one of the staff members, which include client advocates.

“That sonogram about 70 percent of the time changes their hearts and minds,” said Courtney Brown, develop-ment coordinator. “Some women who come in are happy, some are abortion-minded. And we try to present their options.”

The clinic adheres to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, Court-ney Brown said. What that means is PAC does not promote abortion or contraception, though, for engaged or married women, the facility does en-dorse natural family planning.

However, Courtney Brown said the group doesn’t proselytize.

“If they want to talk about spiri-tual things, we’ll do that. But we do not evangelize,” Courtney Brown said. “Other [pregnancy resource clinics] will say they need to come to Christ. We do not do that. If that happens, wonderful. But we are here to save lives. A lot of these women are truly frightened and don’t know what else to do.”

Marla Brown, no relation, was hired in May as executive director to help find a location for, and then open, the Ros-well facility. She oversees about 10 staff members, with roughly 20 volunteers also available to help.

One of the staff members is Gina Phillips, a registered nurse who per-forms the sonograms. She said part of her job is making sure women have all the information necessary to make the best choice possible.

“We let them know what their options are and educate them so they know everything they need to know to make an informed choice,” Phillips said. “We will not refer them to an abortion facility. We explain the abor-tion process and show them videos and explain all the different complications that can occur. And how there are emo-tional issues that can come up, not im-mediately but long term. We want them to know all their choices and what can happen with them.”

Many of the women who come to the clinic have had abortions previously. To better help those clients, a room in the office is dedicated to meetings for a group called Post Abortion Treatment and Healing, which helps women work through the many emotions they may experience after having abortions.

There have been a lot of “saves” this year, Phillips said, which means

women who came in wanting abortions changed their minds after seeing their ultrasounds.

“Once they have their ultrasound and leave, we still follow up with them and can bring them back in for a second ultrasound if they need one,” Phillips said. “We don’t just discharge them and they’re gone. We want to be that positive person for them and let them see they aren’t defined by their past and they can be more.”

Marla Brown said if a client de-cides to continue her pregnancy after the ultrasound, the clinic then offers individual or couple parenting classes. While attending those lessons, clients can earn “baby bucks” to buy items in the boutique attached to the clinic. The boutique is open to the public and all are free to come in and shop.

“We give them the necessities, like diapers,” Marla Brown said. “We have a car seat training class and, if they come to the class, they get a free car seat.”

The goal is to support the soon-to-be mothers, she said.

“Not only throughout the nine months of their pregnancy, but also throughout the whole first year after-wards as well,” Marla Brown said. “We won’t support them financially, but we do put them in touch with the right resources. Whether it’s Medicaid or get-ting in touch with housing if they need it, counseling, whatever it is they need, we have a large network of connections that we can help make that happen. That includes adoption if they want to put the baby up for adoption.”

As a small-busi-ness owner, do you take time to learn new things that could help you better run and grow your small busi-ness?

Do you allocate enough time in your schedule to expand your knowledge in

areas unfamiliar to you? Setting a goal to learn something

new each month will allow you to im-prove your skills and knowledge, which will in turn help you to manage and operate your business more effectively.

The easiest way to learn something new every month is to have a list of new things you want to learn about.

Taking the time to create a list will get you thinking about the things you’ve always wanted to know more

about, but never got done. Learning something new every

month doesn’t have to take a lot of time.

Some new things could take days to learn and others just minutes.

The main point in challenging your-self to learn something new each month is it will keep you focused on learning new things and make you accountable.

Small-business owners who have adopted this concept find that their

skills and abilities improve without having a significant impact on their time.

Learning something new doesn’t have to be “tied” to business-related topics. It could be for your personal life such as “do it yourself” projects around the house.

Try to learn something new every month and you’ll be surprised how much this will help you and your busi-ness.

The clinic is funded fully from private donations. Marla Brown said they do receive two grants, but both are from individual donors.

Last year alone, those donations made it possible for PAC to “save over 200 babies,” Marla Brown said.

“We are very proud of that,” she

said. “These women we see are in a crisis situation. We try to meet them at the stage they’re at. So many of these women do not have positive role models in their lives.”

Either their mothers have had abortions, or their partners don’t want to be fathers. Whatever the issue is, PAC strives to offer alterna-tive solutions. “We are here a lot of times just to listen and support them. We are trying to break the cycle of impact.”

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Few eras can match technical innovations made in the past 20 years.

And those innovations – from smart phones to data systems – have changed corporate America in ways no one imagined when they were first unveiled.

But, while some companies have prospered by embracing the new tech-nology, others, less willing to adapt to changing times, have been spectacu-larly left behind.

Kodak, a world leader in imag-ing and photography for more than a century, foundered to bankruptcy after failing to recognize the potential of digital cameras. Blockbuster, with video rental outlets in 9,000 locations just 12 years ago, met the same fate when it was slow to respond to threats from mail-order and streaming-video pro-vider Netflix and video vendor Redbox.

Digital Scientistembraces new ideas

“It goes to innovation and the will-ingness to prototype, a willingness to fail, a willingness to try new things,” said Bob Klein, president and CEO of Digital Scientist, a technology develop-ment and consulting firm in Alpharetta. “In a way, technology can help compa-nies better connect with their custom-ers, old and new, and it can also help reveal more value within their own company.”

Companies embrace technology for a variety of reasons, Klein said.

Much of the impetus for change within companies comes from perceived threats. Other times, managers see something else show up in the market or the CEO reads something about a new technology that can improve effi-ciency.

One of the best routes to change is when a company’s own IT department comes up with ideas that will give their organization a leg up on the competi-tion, Klein said. But, he added, the cor-porate climate rarely works that way.

“I think IT organizations have been seen as cost centers,” he said. “They’ve been focused on making the trains run on time and taking costs out of sup-porting departments. The new tech-nology requires IT act as a consulting organization to support the business.”

Klein said waiting for someone to

ask for some-thing , a com-pany needs to have the capa-bility to collab-orate with their own business and say, “These are some things you could be doing.”

Many com-panies create products – hardware – but don’t see the po-tential of marry-ing that product with software, he said.

A thermo-stat, for exam-ple, can be more than a simple climate regula-tor in a home or office, he said. When married to the right software, it can create a smart home that can be accessed through the owner’s smart phone.

Something as simple as a soap dis-penser could be modified with sensors to alert the building manager they need replacing, he said.

“The point is, hardware and soft-ware are coming together,” Klein said. “It’s rare now where you have hardware without software embedded.”

Huddle Inc. says‘Be the disruptor’

One company that has taken that message to heart is Huddle Inc., an Alpharetta firm that specializes in mar-keting for large corporations.

One of the company’s largest assets is its ticketing business for high school events. The company prints 150 million high school tickets for about 10,000 high schools across the country.

Huddle CEO Joey Thacker said the company realized early that if it gave high schools free paper stock for tick-ets, it presented Wendy’s with a great opportunity to put their logo on the ticket with a coupon on back.

“It’s an entry for Wendy’s to promote their brand and message,” he said. “We now work with about 125 clients on that program alone.”

Thacker said Huddle continuously looks at its operations to see what type of innovation could potentially disrupt what they’re doing.

“We want to be out in front of that and do the disrupting ourselves,” Thacker said.

The company was looking at its paper ticket op-

eration and began wondering when will digital ticketing come to high schools?

“Last year, we decided we would build our own viable product in a digital ticketing solution,” he said. “We tested it on about six to eight Geor-gia schools and the tests turned out remarkably.”

The company is now rolling out its digital ticketing system to all of the schools in the country for free, any school that wants a digital component to the paper ticketing system.

“We knew that other companies had the technology but didn’t have the knowledge of schools and what the schools needed like we did,” Thacker said.

“We had multiple people come to us and want us to license their solution or partner with them. But at the end of the day, we wanted to own the disrup-tion. We wanted to own the piece of technology that was doing the disrupt-ing.”

AdvanceEd innovationwas ‘game changing’

Not all companies are looking over their shoulder for disruptions.

AdvanceEd CEO Mark Elgart not only has an eye on education, but he keeps up with the latest trends in tech-nology.

The Alpharetta-based company is the largest school improvement educa-tion company in the world.

It serves a network of 34,000 schools in some 70 countries. It pro-vides accreditation services, review services and other tools to upgrade

school performance, primarily to grades pre-K-12.

For years, AdvancEd concentrated primarily on school accreditation, conducting thousands of school reviews annually. The information was gathered and collated on hard copy, requiring mountains of paper and months of time.

Ludwig van Broekhuizen, chief innovation officer for AdvancEd, said as teams were going out to conduct their reviews of schools, they would find reams of documents, meeting minutes, improvement plans and notes from parents’ conferences.

Team members would have to pore over these papers onsite, then draw up hard copies for the school.

Several years ago, the company launched its ASSIST platform.

“That platform revolutionized how everyone in the world was doing ac-creditation,” van Broekhuizen said. “It allowed schools to go online where they had their own digital space to upload all of their activities and any docu-mentation they wanted to provide for teams, pointing to their own efforts for improvement.”

The system cut down on the time required to examine an individual school’s performance plans and results and gave evaluation teams a chance to review information before visiting the school. This allowed teams to spend more time in classrooms, interview par-ents and staff and other stakeholders.

All the information – from the school and the AdvancEd teams – was up-loaded.

“That was the first step for an ac-creditation company to go totally online

Technology wave lifts firms willing to risk the ride

Huddle Inc., which prints 150 million tickets for about 10,000 high schools around the country, has rolled out a new digital ticketing system that can replace the traditional paper ticketing for its clients.

Bob Klein, CEO of Digital Scientist, said innovation should be part of every company’s strategy.

and digital with all its pro-cesses,” van Broekuizen said. “It was a game changer.”

A few years later, the company adapted the same technology and applied it to school improvement plans.

One component, called eProve, is an online system which collates surveys from school stakeholders.

With a week’s worth of observations, a principal can click a button and take a look at averages across the entire school or focus on a specific grade level, a specific subject or a group of in-structors teaching the same subject.

It allows schools dis-tricts anyone else to quan-tify what’s happening for students and learners in a classroom, van Broekuizen said.

“That’s just another way a digital tool has totally turned upside down how we do our business,” he said.

More and more I’m hearing that significant decisions among our corpo-rate executives and community leaders are being shaped in part to cater to millennials. And I’m wondering how well North Fulton and Forsyth are pre-pared for that.

The State Farm and Mercedes-Benz site selections for their new Sandy Springs and Dunwoody campuses were based in large part on what millennials would desire in a workplace environ-ment. So they located on the MARTA line. The Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, which is run by our city’s largest corporations, just released a marketing campaign called Choose At-lanta aimed squarely at the millennial workforce.

I myself am not a millennial – though being in my early 40s I’m happy to admit I’m not that far off. Most re-sources I’ve looked at consider millen-nials to be anyone born between 1980 and 2000. They have seemingly differ-ent ideas of how the world should work. And it’s important for our companies,

and thus our cities and communities, to know this because today millennials make up 33 percent of the workforce. And Forbes estimated that by 2025, that number will grow to 75 percent.

Baby boomers seemed happy to have a well-paying job and a good home. Millennials want more. They want a comfortable and transparent company culture. They want to avoid driving or wasting time in traffic. They want an active nightlife and places where they can go to walk from one venue to another. They are heavily en-grossed in technology.

I look at North Fulton and Forsyth and wonder how prepared we are for this workforce. Have we done enough to make our communities attractive to the millennial workforce? Are businesses going to want to locate here in the future? Are the corporations that exist here now going to want to stay?

We have a lot to offer that crowd. We have great city centers with Avalon, Canton Street, downtown Suwanee and Duluth. We have a lot of great parks and natural resources including Lake Lanier and the Chattahoochee River. But as corporations shift their cultures to cater to the millennial crowd, being close to mass transit and avoiding traf-fic are going to be major factors in their

decisions on future site locations. In case you have not heard, there

is a huge debate going on among North Fulton leaders as to whether we should support increasing our sales tax by 1 percent in Fulton County, and then giv-ing half of that to MARTA. If we do that, MARTA has sort of agreed to extend its north rail Line up to Windward Park-way. This happened very fast and may have seemed too rushed for some of our community leaders. It is a significant amount of money ($4 billion over five years which otherwise would be spread out to the cities in Fulton to spend on transportation as they please). Al-pharetta Mayor David Belle Isle has said he isn’t sure the money wouldn’t be better spent on significantly less expensive transit options such as light rail. House Rep. Chuck Martin would like to first see studies proving signifi-cant ridership before getting behind such a measure. The Johns Creek City Council simply passed a resolution opposing the measure altogether.

On the other side, Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce Pres-ident Brandon Beach, who is also a state senator who chairs the Senate’s economic development committee, has said MARTA expansion into North Fulton will be critical in attracting

corporations to North Fulton. Roswell Mayor Jere Wood compared the eco-nomic importance of MARTA expansion into North Fulton to the construction of Ga. 400.

The bill was killed, but another was born that could have a better chance of success. Wood tried to explain it to me last weekend when I saw him at my son’s baseball game. It seems like a pretty complex funding mechanism and it’s still evolving.

Like Beach and Wood say, having a mass transit option in North Ful-ton could be critical to attracting new corporations as well as maintaining the existing ones. But much of North Ful-ton was very carefully planned, which is why it was so successful in the first place. So it isn’t much of a surprise that some leaders wanted to apply the brakes first before jumping fully on board with MARTA’s proposal.

Have a great weekend and be nice to your local millennial!

Now that spring is officially here, trout stocking in Georgia is mov-ing into high gear in many of the state’s waters. That means now is the perfect time to plan a trout fishing trip on one of Georgia’s great stocked trout streams.

Georgia anglers benefit from one of the best trout stocking programs you’ll find, and even as we speak efforts are gearing up for some serious trout stocking in streams and rivers across northern Georgia.

“All trout waters in Georgia are now open to fishing year-round,” notes John Lee Thomson, trout stocking coordinator for Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division, “and to sweeten that news, stocking efforts are ready to begin to make your trip even more rewarding.”

How many trout will be stocked? Quite a few, to put it mildly. During this last full week of March, for exam-ple, Georgia’s DNR and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be stocking more than 80,000 trout.

That’s a lot of trout (and a lot of great trout fishing opportunities). But even that number pales when com-pared to the 1 million (yes, 1,000,000) trout which plans call for stocking into the state’s streams by year’s end.

Spring really is an incredible time to enjoy fishing in Georgia’s stocked trout streams. Those streams typically have plenty of water in them during the spring, which makes for better fishing conditions and less easily spooked fish. In addition, flows are cooler in spring than during the sum-mer months, and that also helps the trout fishing.

Where should you go to wet a line? Now, that’s a hard question to answer, for every angler has his or her personal favorite streams. But some stocked streams that show up again and again on lists of “favorite

trout waters” include Dicks Creek in Lumpkin County, Cooper Creek in Union County, and Wildcat Creek in Rabun County. Johns Creek in Floyd County is another popular stocked stream – and of course it’s hard to beat the great trout fishing opportuni-ties offered right here close to home in the Chattahoochee River.

How should you gear up for a trip to one of Georgia’s stocked trout streams? You’ll find that either spin fishing or fly fishing can be effective. When fly fishing on stocked streams, favorite flies include olive Woolly Buggers as well as patterns such as Y2Ks and San Juan worms. Spinning enthusiasts frequently have good success with small, bright in-line spinners such as Rooster Tails. Where regulations permit, it’s also hard to beat natural baits such as worms or crickets. And, yes, corn can work well in stocked streams, too.

What about strategy? It never hurts to “think like a fish.” Trout look for cover and deeper water, so always give such areas a try. Also remember to “fish deep,” since that’s often where the fish are in stocked streams. Try to blend in with your surroundings, too, for nothing will alert a wary trout as quickly as a bright hat or shirt moving around near the water.

Licensewise, you’ll need to have a current Georgia fishing license as well as a trout license to fish in designated trout waters. In certain of the state’s Wildlife Management Areas, you’ll also need either a Wildlife Management Area license or a Georgia Outdoor Recreation Pass. Licenses are avail-able from a number of vendors as well as online at www.georgiawildlife.com/licenses-permits-passes. You can also purchase Georgia fishing licenses over the phone by calling 800-366-2661.

You can find more info on Geor-gia’s stocked trout streams, includ-ing a complete list of stocked trout streams and an online Georgia trout stream map, at www.georgiawildlife.com/fishing/trout.

I hope to see you on the water soon!

Springtime trout stocking means great fishing ahead

You’ve heard the phrase, “Age is just a number”. While that is true, our perception of what constitutes old age is complicated. In a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, over 3,000 respondents of all ages concluded that the perception is “old age” begins at 68 years young. However, among respondents ages 65-74 only 21% said they feel old. So maybe age really is just a state of mind. What can you do to be happy and healthy to age 100? While genetics play a role in our health and well-being, there are habits that can have a positive effect on life span. Along with diet and exercise, research-ers found that those who find joy in daily living, really do live longer. An examination of extraordinary cente-narians also yielded that they spend a lot of time helping other people. They actively engage in activities in their

church and community, assisted living retirement communities and senior centers. If you are looking to become more involved in your community, contact us at Arbor Terrace at Cra-bapple where we can connect you with resources and activities to stay engaged and live a happier and healthier life.

Hoops N’ SandTeen Spirit Rewarded(NAPSI)—When young people volunteer, it’s good for the commu-nity. But it turns out it can also be good for the volunteer.

According to a recent national survey conducted by The Pru-dential Spirit of Com-munity Awards, teens encounter a virtuous cycle when they give back. Nine in 10 teens who volunteer said ser-vice makes them feel good about themselves and their participation leads to feeling needed (59 percent), feeling happier and less stressed (59 percent), and feeling more connected to people (54 percent).

The awards, sponsored by Pru-dential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals, recognize students in grades 5 to 12 who are giving back to their communities. Applica-tions are open now; to enter, middle and high school students who have volunteered in the past year can go

to http://spirit.prudential.com and complete the online application. They then need to submit the application to their school principal or the head of a county 4-H organization, Girl Scout council, American Red Cross chapter, YMCA or HandsOn Network affiliate by November 3.

For application and certification questions, call (877) 525- 8491.

MILTON, Ga. — Milton citizens came out to the Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub in support of the Milton First Respond-er’s Foundation Tuesday, Feb. 23 to raise funds for four specially equipped bicycles for the Police and Fire depart-ments.  Each department will receive two bikes to be used at community events to allow First Responders to eas-ily maneuver around as well as respond to emergencies more quickly.   The eve-ning was also a great opportunity for MFRF Board Members to greet, mingle and educate the citizens of Milton on their mission of “Supporting those who serve.”

 “We could not have reached our goal if not for the effort of the Crabap-ple Crossing Elementary Rise Up Team, The William B. Orkin Foundation and the Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub,” said Brian Dolan, MFRF board member. 

The Foundation extends a special thanks to the Olde Blind Dog for not only hosting the event but also donat-ing a portion of the sales from that evening.  “Tonight we are grateful for the incredible efforts of the wonderful children who are part of the Rise Up team at Crabapple Crossing Elementary School.  They put in time and energy, led by Jenny Herman and Nichole Deakins, to support our foundation by raising funds for the bikes.  We are proud of their efforts and we can’t thank them enough,” said MFRF board member Loreto Hernalsteen. 

MFRF also received a very generous donation from The William B. Orkin Foundation, whose mission realizes that the key to a successful community is one in which its citizens and busi-ness owners alike volunteer their time and financial support to ensure that

ideals and values of the community are maintained.

 “We are so thankful to the Milton First Responders Foundation board members, volunteers and supporters for not only aiding our department and staff, but looking at what tools we need to better serve our community,” said Interim City Manager and Police Chief Steve Krokoff. “These bikes will allow

us to respond more efficiently and be more accessible to the people we serve.”

Milton Fire-Rescue Chief Robert Edgar agreed and said “When each second of response time could be life-saving, these bikes will provide us with one more instrument to better serve at community events.”  For more informa-tion and upcoming events, visit www.miltonfirstresponders.org.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — In last Thurs-day’s game that honored St. Francis baseball player Chip Madren, who was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic anaplastic medulloblastoma five years ago and is still in recovery from the form of brain cancer, St. Francis fell to Walker 19-7.

After winning seven consecutive games, St. Francis’ pitching struggles and multiple errors proved to be their downfall against Region 6-A opponent Walker.

St. Francis (8-5, 5-3) allowed 19 hits, walked five batters and committed three errors in the mercy rule loss that ended the game in the sixth inning.

After Chip Madren threw out the ceremonial first pitch, St. Francis junior Clark Adams took the mound for the Knights and was off to a rough start with three of the first four Walker batters hitting doubles. Walker’s scor-ing continued as a three-run home

run over the right field fence put the Knights down 4-0 after the top half of the first.

Three St. Francis errors and mul-tiple hits given up allowed Walker to extend their lead to 8-0 after the top of the third.

Down 8-0 in the bottom of the third, St. Francis was able to get on the score-board with five runs. Jack Madren, Riley Spearman and Matthew Davis all singled to open the inning. With the bases loaded, Bret Madren hit a sacri-fice fly to score his brother.

Matthew Fezza then doubled to add another two runs for the Knights and would later score on a passed ball, cut-ting Walker’s lead to 8-5.

After a scoreless fourth inning, Davis replaced Adams on the mound for the Knights in the top of the fifth. A ground ball hit to Knights’ shortstop Spearman would result in an error when Spearman launched his throw off the dirt and into the Walker dugout, eventually scoring the runner to put Walker up by four runs.

In the bottom of the fifth, Fezza would add two more RBIs to his day, scoring Ryan Field and Simon Herrick with a single. Fezza hit 2-3 with four

RBIs in the game. With the Knights trailing 11-7, Fezza would be stranded on base after Adams and Daryian Basco struck out.

Though their pitching had not been stellar in the first five innings, the sixth inning would see three Knights pitchers struggle as Walker scored eight runs.

In the top of the sixth, Field took the mound, but after two quick walks, Sammy Berman took over pitching.

After a putout, Berman would hit two straight batters, scoring a run for Walker. Berman then walked two straight batters with the bases loaded, giving Walker two more runs in the inning.

Andrew Balmer, making his third appearance of the season, would be the third pitcher for St. Francis in the half inning with only one out.

Balmer would get the Knights out of the inning, but not before giving up two hits and five runs.

Needing to score at least two runs to avoid the mercy rule ending the game, the Knights’ Kyle Bork, Spearman and Davis would be retired in succession to end the game.

Though their struggles came to a head against Walker, the Knights’

start to the season still holds a positive outlook as they were just 6-11 in region play last season.

Eleven of the Knights’ next 12 games will be against Region 6-A oppo-nents.

St. Francis’ seven runs were not enough to overcome Walker last Thurs-day.

MILTON, Ga. — The Symetra Tour, Road to the LPGA, announced March 10 the addition of the Gosling’s trade-marked Dark ‘n Stormy Classic to the 2016 schedule. The 54-hole event will be held the week of May 16-21 at

Atlanta National Golf Club, also the co-host of the 2017 U.S. Mid-Amateur.

The tournament’s name is de-rived from Gosling’s signature drink, the Dark ‘n Stormy, a combination of Gosling’s Black Seal Rum and Gosling’s

Stormy Ginger Beer.“Gosling’s is excited to put our

name and delicious Dark ‘n Stormy beverage behind a brand new Syme-tra Tour event in Atlanta,” explained Malcolm Gosling, seventh generation President & CEO, Gosling-Castle Part-ners, Inc. “Our company is also proud to be partnering with the LPGA on the UL International Crown in Chicago this summer as we feel investing in women’s professional golf is a great way for us to grow our brand and expose more people to Gosling’s Rum in a major market.”

First-round play will begin on Thursday, May 19 with the final round scheduled for Saturday, May 21. The field of 144 will be trimmed to the top 60 and ties following second-round play on May 20. The total tournament purse is $100,000 with the winner earning $15,000 and taking a significant step up the Volvik Race for the Card money list. The top 10 on the Symetra Tour’s final money list earn LPGA membership for the 2017 season. 

“We’re excited to bring the Symetra Tour into a great golf market like At-lanta,” said Chief Business Officer Mike Nichols. “Atlanta National Golf Club will be a top test of golf for our profes-sionals and I know longtime fans of the LPGA will be excited to watch women’s professional golf again.”

This is the first time the LPGA has had a presence in the greater Atlanta area since the 2006 Florida’s Natu-ral Charity Championship hosted by Nancy Lopez at Eagle’s Landing Coun-try Club. The last Symetra Tour event in Georgia was the 2012 Vidalia Cham-pionship at Hawk’s Point Golf Club. 

“Atlanta National has prided itself on hosting premier golf tournaments and the Symetra Tour is a perfect opportunity for us to showcase our venue while also gaining experience for the 2017 U.S. Mid-Amateur,” said Mike Davis, General Manager of Atlanta National Golf Club.

Volunteers are the backbone of any professional golf tournament and the Gosling’s Dark ‘n Stormy Classic will be no different. The tournament is cur-rently looking for volunteers in a variety of areas including cart drivers, scorers, leaderboard operators and more. 

The tournament also now has a presence on social media. The Twitter handle is @gosdnsclassic while the Instagram is @GoslingsDarknStormy-Classic. For more information about the tournament including playing in the pro-am and sponsorship avail-ability, visit www.goslingsclassic.com or contact Tournament Director Mike Vajda at mvajda@synertiapartners.com or 678-778-2000.

MILTON, Ga. — Milton High School’s very own Girl’s Lacrosse team recently defeated Walton in a rematch of the 2015 State Finals. They won a tight victory at the away game with a score of 14-9.  Both teams have played in the state finals the past two seasons and have ranked first and second in the state, respectively.

Walton scored the first goal of the game and led most of the first half. During the first half, Milton was down two players due to two yellow cards called within a two-minute pe-riod. The team ended up playing half of the game with at least one man down. By halftime, Milton was up 6-5.  The last 17 minutes of the game were the tensest as Milton lost a player when the fourth yellow card was called.

“The officials were calling the game tight on our defensive end in the first half.  We had 3 yellow cards in the first half called on us,” said Coach Godby.  “We have never had even three yellow

cards in a game be-fore since I’ve been coaching and we had three in the first half and four for the game.   We were able to make adjust-ments defensively while being a man down and our offense was able to exe-cute and get into a rhythm.  This was basically our first game of the season that we’ve even had to play defense.  We only had one shot against us in the first three games of the season.  I was proud of how our defense played and stepped up under adversity and playing a man down.”  

Godby plans for a bright future, “We have a lot of tough games ahead of us and lots of things to work on to im-prove both offensively and defensively.   We have 9 girls starting who did not start last season.  We will continue to improve the more we play.  It was great to see us overcome an early deficit and fouls and be able to win the game.”

MILTON, Ga. — Kendall Salmon of Troop 27332 is pursuing her Girl Scouts of America Gold Award by raising awareness of World Down Syn-drome Day and helping people see the many capabilities of people with Down syndrome. Kendall, a sophomore at Milton High School who runs Cross Country and is a member of the Key Club, Student Council and chorus, will use three main pathways to educate people in the community and around the world.

First, Mayor Joe Lockwood will pro-claim March 21 as City of Milton Down Syndrome Awareness Day, and Kendall will speak at the Milton City Council meeting that evening.

pass out fact sheets and WDSD brace-lets at the front of the high school, as well as show a short film about Down syndrome at lunch that day. Lastly, Kendall will enlist the help of friends, students and all in the community to raise awareness about WDSD and the unique contributions of people with Down syndrome in their communities through various social media avenues, from traditional websites to Facebook and Twitter.

Kendall is optimistic about the im-

pact of her project, “I want everyone to learn that people with Down syndrome are the same as them, just with an ex-tra chromosome. We still have the same hopes and dreams.”
