ROSWELL REMEMBERS:
Hosts Sept. 11 memorial event By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – The large American flag billowed in the breeze over the lake at Roswell Area Park during the city’s Sept. 11 memorial event. Traditionally, the Sept. 11 memorial is held at the Faces of War Memorial near City Hall. This year, the event was at the memorial to a fallen resident. “This tragedy left a hole in our hearts,” said the Rev. Malone Dodson. The tribute occurred beside a memorial to Mike Gann, a Roswell resident who was killed in the attacks of 2001. A firefighter lowered the flag on the flagpole to half-mast and bagpipe players from the
U.S. Coast Guard Pipe Band performed “Amazing Grace.” Students from the Holcomb Bridge Middle School eighthgrade chorus sang to the crowd lining the banks of the lake. Roswell Councilmember Rich Dippolito said the day of the attacks began like any other. “That morning, everything went like normal,” he said. People went to work or boarded flights, expecting nothing unusual. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the attacks, including 2,563 civilians, 71 law enforcement officers and 343 firefighters. “We will never forget,” said Sen. John Albers, himself a volunteer firefighter. “This was our modern-day Pearl Harbor.
We will always remember this day and hold it sacred.”
ALPHARETTA, Ga. – The rejection of a Chick-fil-A franchise zoning request in the tony Avalon mixed-use development has North American Properties Managing Partner Mark Toro fuming. Four years ago, when Toro first broached the subject of a $600 million mixeduse development on 86 acres at Old Milton and Westside parkways in Alpharetta, he only mentioned one tenant by

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Public comments were gathered and maps were explained Sept. 10 as Forsyth County held a public information open house regarding a new interchange on Ga. 400 between the Windward Parkway and McFarland Parkway ramps.
The project includes construction of an interchange on Ga. 400 at McGinnis Ferry Road, widening Ga. 400 south from McGinnis Ferry to McFarland Parkway, widening McGinnis Ferry Road and making operational improvements at intersections along McGinnis Ferry. The proposed interchange is a Georgia Department of Transportation partnership project included in the Forsyth County transportation bond approved by county voters in 2014.

Alpharetta approves milling, resurfacing of 50 roads By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Keeping 500 miles of roadway in working order is no easy task. It requires continual upkeep and that upkeep means construction barrels and traffic delays. At their Sept. 9 meeting, the Alpharetta City Council unanimously approved spending just
over $2 million on the milling and resurfacing of 50 streets in the city. Each year, the city budgets funds to mill and resurface the roads most in need of improvement In 2012, the city evaluated the entire inventory of roads. Each road was graded from 1 to 100, with roads garnering lower scores in greater need of maintenance.
The most recent evaluation was in February of this year, at which point the bulk of the roads deemed most in need of repair were determined to be in subdivisions said city Public Works Director Pete Sewczwicz. The proposed work along North Point Center East, North Pont Drive, Roswell Street, Canton Street and Kimball Bridge Road will be done at night,
Sewczwicz said, to minimize traffic impact. While they are at it, a portion of the Big Creek Greenway parking lot at Preston Ridge Road will also be repaved. Tree roots are upending parts of it. The contract was given to Northwest Georgia Paving Inc. for just over $2 million. They are expected to finish the work by April of next year.

Where were you on 9/11? If you are of a certain age now – that is, probably over 20 – you remember where you were during the events 14 years ago on Sept. 11. It was one of those unfolding tragedies that will stick with many of us for the rest of our lives. It has become one of those collective events that surpasses any one of us and ties us all together. Everyone remembers where they were that day. For me, I was in my sophomore year of university. I rolled out of bed and headed off to class (philosophy) like any Tuesday. When I got to class, the guy next to me said something happened in New York. I remember thinking that was a shame, but, hey, things happen. It was only when class started and my professor also made note of something going on in New York that I knew something was wrong. We finished class like normal and I headed back to my dorm for lunch. In my dorm, if someone was in their room, they would leave their door open, so people could come and go. On that day, as I walked down the hall to my room, I heard every single TV turned to CNN and the exact newsfeed. To hear dozens of TVs in dozens of rooms all saying the same thing, with no laughter or the usual joking around to be heard, was surreal. I had missed both planes striking the towers as well as

the Pentagon, and there were reports of several other planes under suspicion. There was that fear – what could happen next? I had a class after lunch, and the campus was largely deserted. Most students were staying home. Even in the buildings, whatever empty classrooms there were had their TVs turned to the news. My class was short and sparsely attended. Perhaps more than the day itself, I remember the aftermath, the days and weeks following. Bomb threats were common and Air Force jets would occasionally fly by overhead. When they did, there was always that nagging concern – did something else happen? Sept. 11, 2001, is now 14 years ago. We still honor those 2,977 people who died in the attacks. Those who were too young to remember that day will never truly understand what happened or the fear that went with it. It is our responsibility to keep the memories of the events of that day current, carrying them on for the future generations. Never forget; I know I won’t.
LETTER TO EDITOR
In response to the Sept. 9 article “Not enough millennial housing” I enjoyed your article. I am a 56-year-old empty nester who doesn’t want to live in an active adult community and am facing the same problem you are. I can’t find many ranch style housing in Forsyth County. All the homes are minimum five bedrooms, two baths on two stories or two stories over a basement. Both options are too large for seniors or millennials. I wish the construction companies would listen. Jim Price Alpharetta

Submit your opinions to news@appenmediagroup.com
What do you remember most about 9/11? Some of the younger set in the newsroom asked me where I was when I heard the terrible news of the hijacked planes Sept. 11, 2001. It is one of those iconic memories seared into one’s mind. For my parents, it was Dec. 7, 1941, and Pearl Harbor. The country was thrown into the midst of World War II. Before 9/11, my iconic day was Nov. 22, 1963, when JFK was shot and America lost its innocence. We are still feeling the aftershocks of 9/11 today. The events of that day plunged the world into the abyss of religious and ideological warfare, and we don’t know if we’ve touched bottom yet, or if we’ve seen the end of it. I want to share my most emotional moment from that time. It wasn’t on the day the towers of the World Trade Center crashed before our eyes. The memory that gets to me came second-hand from my brother-in-law Keith Everest, who was a Navy master chief petty officer serving on the aircraft carrier the USS Enterprise. He told me how, a few days before 9/11, they had been in port in Italy, I think, and a German NATO warship was also in port. Now, the naval custom when warships, especially allies, are in port together is to have officers of one ship invite officers from the other to a formal dinner. Below decks, the petty officers of the ship whose officers are the invitees return the courtesy and invite their counterpart petty officers to a

similar dinner. It is a timehonored custom in the Navy and it involves a lot of toasting, conviviality and sharing of stories. It builds rapport with the officers and men who might someday depend on one another in battle or some other crisis. Having a personal relationship with the guy standing on the other deck is important. As a career officer involved in multinational military operations told me once, “You don’t want to be swapping business cards in the middle of a crisis.” The following day, Master Chief Petty Officer Everest and his crew set sail for home after some 19 months at sea. They would be touching native soil first in Florida, and, as it was to be his last cruise before retirement, Everest’s dad and brother were to be allowed to board in Florida and accompany him to sail into Norfolk, Virginia. It is an honor not given to many, and my father-in-law was especially excited about it. Of course, it never happened. Within hours, if not minutes, of the terror attack in New York, the Enterprise had orders to turn back and head to the Persian Gulf.
No one knew how long this cruise would be extended. Similarly, no one knew what would come next or who was behind the terror. So into the unknown they sailed for how long no one knew. Like most of us, all they knew came from the scenes from CNN of the carnage. No one knew what monstrous evil was behind it all then. As they sped toward their assignment, a radar blip appeared on the horizon. It was a ship headed their way. It was quickly identified not only as a friendly, but the selfsame German naval ship filled with officers with whom they had so recently broken bread. The ship signaled it was going to pass by. Keith and his mates did not know what to make of it all. But he was topside as the ship passed by starboard and snapped a photo of it as it passed. Then entire German crew was turned out in full-dress uniform and saluted as they slowly passed by. And on the stern, they flew the Stars and Stripes. It was to say on this day, at this time, everyone was an American, Keith said. What united us all in those early days was the resolve not to bow to the terror, and to not let it pull us apart. In 2015, that message has not changed. We have seen the terror morph into something far worse than we imagined in 2001. We must look for the unity of purpose we sought then, for the lesson of today is that the terror is not going away.
LETTER TO EDITOR
Alpharetta has big opportunity for arts center “…the arts have a crucial impact on our economy and are an important catalyst for learning, discovery, and achievement in our country.” — Paul G. Allen, Co-Founder, Microsoft “Art is a nation’s most precious heritage. For it is in our works of art that we reveal to ourselves and to others the inner vision which guides us as a nation,” — President Lyndon Johnson Recently, the library on Mayfield Road, and all its memories, books and people, was closed and moved to the new location at City Center. It is our hope that the building left behind will continue to be one that embraces creativity, enlightenment and smiles—a vibrant arts center. Studies show that a community infused with the arts is more attractive to leaders in business, to parents of school-age children
and to creative entrepreneurs. Economists recognize that for every dollar invested in the arts, there is roughly a 6 to 1 return in tax revenue. Arts-enhanced schools have higher achievement, higher graduation rates and happier students (and teachers). With the success of the Verizon Center, we can easily see the economic impact of the arts, and visitors, in our community. An arts center that offers a variety of classes, a gallery to showcase both student and adult creativity and a theater to host engaging speakers will be an important addition to the Alpharetta experience. We love Alpharetta and want it to remain a destination that seeks to bolster the innate talents of its citizens. We ask for the support of our city leaders, and neighbors, in this request. — Dianna Smeal, Sandy Barth, Ellen Winsorm, Michael Buchanan, Ben Hollingsworth

‘BE THE VOICE’
Residents push new antibullying program Campaign targets bystanders to help By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Just about everyone has a story about being bullied in school. Whether it was physical or emotional, bullying seemed a part of life and, when we “tattled,” adults would typically see bullying as building character. If only there had been a way to stop bullying. Far from wishful thinking, however, a pair of Roswell Rotarians and residents are attempting to do just that. Deborah Cwalina and Michael Schoppenhorst created the “Be the Voice” anti-bullying campaign. “I had always had a soft spot for kids who had been bullied,” said Cwalina. “I grew up with a brother who suffered at the hands of bullies. “People from our generation say it’s a rite of passage,” she
said. “While that may be true of that generation, it doesn’t need to be the norm.” Plus, society has changed. Bullying no longer stops at the school doors or outside a student’s home. “When you see kids committing suicide over posts on social media, that’s taking it too far,” Schoppenhorst said. “With social media, the whole school knows about it. And there are apps that allow people to be anonymous. We want to help these kids by making them feel empowered.” While there are plenty of programs dedicated to stopping bullying, most are focused on either stopping the bully or helping the victim. “Be the Voice” instead focuses on those around the altercation – the bystanders. “Where there is a bully, there is a bystander,” Cwalina said. “If the bystander is quiet, they are giving support to the bully subconsciously.” The Roswell pair decided to create a program to encourage kids to watch out for bullying and stand up against the bully.
While many anti-bullying programs hand out literature or hold lectures, “Be the Voice” is more active in its approach. Videos can be watched weekly for several months, and each video can be tailored to a different theme. If a school has had issues with cyberbullying, the videos can be geared toward that subject. Twelve videos are provided and the students watch them, then discuss. “After the video plays, the teacher can have conversations with the class of the theme. The rest is up to the students. They take ownership of the program and make it creative,” Cwalina said. “These kids sit in school all day long, listening to teachers. We wanted something to catch their attention. The videos show creative ways where kid can make a difference. Each story is told by someone witnessing a situation where a bystander impacted it.” “It takes a spark to catch their attention,” said Schop
penhorst. “It’s going to sink in more.” The only requirement for the program is that the subject school must have a Rotaract club. This is the school group affiliated with the Rotary Club. In Roswell, the program is free for participating schools, with the Roswell Rotary Club picking up the tab. Cwalina and Schoppenhorst say four local schools have already signed up for the program, with several more exploring the possibility.

Area high schools top list for SAT scores Cambridge jumps 56 points from last year By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. – On the heels of ACT scores released last month, SAT results show equally impressive performance by North Fulton students on the nation’s top college entrance exam. The College Board last week released 2015 SAT results placing eight Fulton County high schools among the top 25 highest-scoring schools in the state; more than any other district in the state. The system also had the state’s secondhighest writing score. “Our SAT scores are one measure that the public looks to for determining the quality of our high school programs. From year to year, there are shifts in scores, but what we consistently see is overall high performance in our district,” said Kenneth Zeff, interim superintendent. Northview High School, with its average score of 1784, was the second-highest scoring school in Georgia, behind only Gwinnett College of Math and

However, Northview’s results were even more significant since more than twice as many students — 447 — took the 2015 SAT than the Gwinnett School, with only 194 test takers. Also placing in the state’s top 25 were Alpharetta High (7), Johns Creek (8), Chattahoochee (10), Milton (11), Roswell (16), Cambridge (18) and Centennial (25). Fulton’s overall 2015 score on the SAT was 1558, compared to the statewide average of 1450 and the national average of 1490.

The average score for North Fulton’s eight traditional high schools was 1673, a 7-point increase from last year. While four schools dropped points, Cambridge had a 56-point increase from last year, and Centennial students posted a 23-point jump. Fulton students also surpassed their Georgia counterparts by 28 points in reading, 40 points in math and 40 points in writing. “Each year, we surpass the state and national aver-
ages, and this year, Fulton has eight of Georgia’s top scoring schools. This SAT data demonstrates that Fulton County Schools is continuing to prepare students for success,” said Zeff. He noted Fulton helps prepare students for the rigors of the SAT by providing the “practice SAT” known as the PSAT for students in grades 9, 10 and 11. “This helps strengthen their academic preparation and identify personal strengths and
weaknesses before they take the test,” said Zeff. The SAT is developed, administered and scored by The College Board, and is composed of three sections — critical reading, mathematics and writing. Each section is worth 800 points, for a highest possible score of 2400. Beginning in March 2016, a new version of the SAT will be rolled out, which will be shorter and include fewer answer options on multiplechoice questions.

..they’re having to pay out much less than what they’d have to pay if they went to the hospital, and that’s across the board. JOHN DITTO, Board-certified otolaryngology head and neck surgeon ENTI
JOIN TODAY: 770-993-8806 • WWW.GNFCC.COM
Health care tourism By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – An Alpharetta physician has launched what he hopes will revolutionize consumer-based health care for thousands of patients. Dr. Jeffrey Gallups, a double boardcertified physician specializing in nasal and sinus disorders, opened the Ear, Nose and Throat Institute three years ago after more than a decade of planning. Like the name implies, ENTI provides specialty treatments for disorders of the ear, nose and throat at 17 facilities in Georgia – and does it with the price tag affixed. “Now is the dawn of medical consumerism, just like consumerism for any other product,” Gallups said. “Medicine has been this giant black hole, where you don’t know what it’s going to cost.” Medical services vary from place to place, but most hospitals use what are called charge masters, which are detailed charts listing prices for services. These prices often vary depending on whether the patient has private insurance, no insurance or Medicare. And, sometimes, the charges vary within each category. In addition, some clinics associated with hospitals charge what are called hospital facility fees which are tacked on to bills even though the service never took place at the associated hospital. In some cases, hospital facility fees can run more than the procedure itself. Gallups said under his business model, doctors control every aspect of a patient’s care. “We have our own surgery center, our own doctors, our own facilities, our own anesthesiologist, our own pathologist,” he said. “In fact, there’s no other practice like it outside of a hospital pretty much in the Southeast.” Because of these controls, ENTI is able to keep expenses down and deter-
mine exactly what the costs are. “We cut out multiple people in the process and still make a profit that lets us hire – we have 200 employees – it lets us maintain them as well as provide the public GALLUPS with transparent pricing,” Gallups said. The facilities are structured to have staff consulting with patients before the procedure, informing them of all the costs and steps. “To me it’s really simple,” Gallups said. “What does someDITTO thing cost? How can we hire people to provide that, and then make a small margin?” Gallups said although the system is fairly simple, it took a lot of courage to break out from the traditional model doctors function under. He operated a traditional medical practice until about three years ago. Then he bought out his partners and hired them as employees. John Ditto, a board-certified otolaryngology head and neck surgeon, is one his newest hires. Ditto, who practices in Stockbridge, came to Georgia after working for HCA in Richmond, Va., where he was named Richmond’s Top Docs in Otolaryngology six times. Ditto said he grew frustrated with the hospital business model and welcomed the chance to practice medicine in an open environment. He also said services are much more affordable at ENTI, by far. “When I take a patient to the surgery center at ENTI for a tonsillectomy, they’re having to pay out much less than what they’d have to pay if they

ENTI has already seen a 10 percent growth this year, and Gallups said he expects another 10-20 percent jump next year. The practice sees close to 100,000 patients a year from across the country and the Caribbean who have shopped the services, he said. “You’d think it would be more prevalent nowadays, but people still are not really taking advantage of available consumerism in medicine,” Gallups said. “They can’t do it, because their

standard of what to do is based on a hospital. Hospitals have no reason to give up the mega-amounts of money that pours into them from the insurance companies and federal government.” Gallups said that while hospitals serve a vital function, consumers need to delegate certain procedures to less costly providers. Outpatient surgery, he said, should never be performed in a hospital and under the payment rates hospitals charge. “The American way is for people to go out there and bargain for the best price they can get,” he said. “But the average consumer today does not feel empowered to be able to do that.”

How satisfied are Forsyth to open new Kroger your customers? By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com
Are your customers happy with the products you sell or the services you provide? Do you reach out to your customers on a regular basis to find out how satisfied they are? While it goes without saying, a satisfied customer will buy more than one who is not. Knowing how satisfied your customers are, and striving to improve their level of satisfaction, will help you grow your small business. Understanding how satisfied your customers are can be done in many ways, both formally and informally. A formal approach typically will involve a customer satisfaction survey. There are many automated survey systems that can be used to streamline the survey process and capture customer feedback. Informal techniques, such as asking for feedback after a purchase is made or service is provided, will also provide you with good information.
DICK JONES
Founder & President Jones Simply Sales
Correlation analysis from a formal survey can be used to determine how much a very satisfied customer will buy, verses an unsatisfied customer. It will also help you to identify opportunities to improve the customer experience so that more of your customers will be satisfied. Knowing how satisfied your customers are is the first step in identifying opportunities to improve your customer service. Satisfied customers buy more and recommend your small business to others, all of which will lead to increased sales and growth for your small business.

CUMMING, Ga. – About a year after the much-anticipated opening of Costco Wholesale on the northeast corner of Bald Ridge Marina and Market Place Boulevard off Ga. 400 at exit 15, the county is now looking into opening a Kroger southwest of Cumming. The 26.9-acre corner on Castleberry and Bethelview roads would house the grocery store. However, Greg Dolezal with the county’s planning board and whose District 3 encompasses the future store’s location, said he wanted to continue meeting with Kroger and residents. But, due to the ongoing discussion, official meetings with the planning commission continue to be postponed. Some of the topics up for discussion include planting requirements, fuel-pump locations and site elevations. The county’s Department of Planning and Community Development supports conditions suggested by staff, which means not following variances Kroger has requested. Those contested variances include:
• Eliminating the planting requirement for installation of 4.5 caliper inches per 100 linear feet with a 1.5-inch caliper and 8-foot minimum height for each tree • Increasing the maximum allowed parking between the road and front facade from 50 percent to 100 percent • Eliminating the separation distance between the building facade and sidewalks The planning commission will be discussing this at their next work session Sept 15. There will be a public hearing Sept. 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the county administration building to discuss Kroger’s request to rezone from restricted industrial district (M1) and agricultural district (A1) to commercial business district (CBD) on 26.958 acres for a proposed aggregate of 141,930 square feet commercial retail trade establishments with 658 parking spaces. After a recommendation is made, the board of commissioners will consider the request and vote on it likely in October.

Two top doctors join Fulton County Pair bring decades of public health, managerial experience ATLANTA, Ga. - Two highly respected members of the medical profession have assumed leadership roles in the Fulton County Department of Health Services. They are Dr. David Sarnow, who is the new deputy health director, and Dr. David Holland, recently named the new chief clinical officer for the Communicable Disease Prevention Branch of the Health Services Department. County Manager Dick Anderson said, “Both of these exceptional medical professionals join Fulton County at a critical time and will undoubtedly make significant contributions to our strategic priority of public health.” Arriving directly from his most recent assignment as chief of Aerospace Medicine in the United States Air Force, Sarnow has over 20 years of experience in the field of public health in both the civilian and military arenas. His most recent assignment has been as a preventive medicine physician and public health emergency officer at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. His military career has taken him to bases in New Mexico, Texas, Alabama and Florida here at home and to
South Korea, Iraq and Japan abroad. Preventing disease is a primary mission of Fulton County Health Services and Sarnow’s focus on applying preventive medicine standards and planning ways to mitigate health hazards makes him a “good fit” for the county’s integrated care sysDR SARNOW tem of delivering services Holland is no stranger to Fulton Health Services. Following his residency training at Emory University, where he also earned his M.D. degree, he served as Fulton’s Tuberculosis Clinic physician from August 2001 to June 2006. As chief clinical officer of the Communicable Disease Prevention Branch, he will oversee the operations of the tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases and Ryan White HIV clinics. Holland completed his specialty training in infectious diseases at Duke University, where he was on faculty for five years and also served as a medical consultant for the North Carolina TB Program. He returned to Atlanta in 2014 to accept a position on faculty at Emory, where he has resumed work in the Fulton County TB Clinic. Holland has also served as a medical consultant for the Georgia TB Program.

2 STEM award school finalists from Alpharetta
At the Hembree Farm house are from left, expert paint and finishes craftsman Gene Kunkel, Hembree Farm Preservation Committee member Sherron Lawson (with “Zoey”), Historic Preservationist Connie Huddleston (with check), and master carpenter/builder Geoff Lambousis.
Hembree Farm receives preservation grant ROSWELL, Ga. - The 1835 Hembree Farm recently received the Ina Mae Kaplan Grant for Historic Preservation in the amount of $1,500 which was awarded to Historic Preservation Consultant Connie M. Huddleston. The grant stipulated that the recipient must be a certified preservationist who would, in turn, donate the funds to an organization actively involved with a historic preservation project. This grant
will be applied to the cost of prepping the farm house for painting and making specific repairs. For nine years the Hembree Farm Preservation Committee of the Society has been raising money for needed repairs and restoration projects by holding an annual “Great Flea Fling” yard sale and other fund raisers. The 2015 Fling will be held on Saturday, Oct. 3 on site at 775 Hembree Road in Roswell.
ATLANTA – The Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) and the TAG Education Collaborative (TAG-Ed) have announced the three finalists for the fourth annual STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Education awards. Three North Fulton schools were among the finalists for the 2015 awards: Mill Springs Academy (Alpharetta), Sandy Springs Education Force/GTRI STEM Event (Sandy Springs) and Amana Academy (Alpharetta). These awards were created to recognize and celebrate schools, extracurricular programs, public-private partnerships, science agencies and post-secondary education outreach programs for outstanding efforts and achievement in supporting and promoting science, technology, engineering and math education in Georgia. “We applaud each of this year’s finalists for their extraordinary efforts to bolster awareness about the importance of STEM and for their hard work to increase student participation in science, technology, engineering and math programs,” said Michael Robertson, director of TAG-Ed. “Georgia will need to fill some 211,000 STEM-related jobs by 2018, so we are pleased to showcase so many great schools, programs and organizations that are helping to
develop a strong future workforce for our state. ” More than 180 nominations were received for the inaugural STEM Education Awards, said Amanda Hendley, chief operating officer for TAG. “We are very pleased with the number and quality of all of our applicants.

GET actress co-stars in Alliance’s ‘Cuckoo’s Nest’ Tess Malis Kincaid lands role of nasty Nurse Ratched By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Tess Malis Kincaid, charter member of the Georgia Ensemble Theatre in Roswell, has often found juicy roles in Atlanta theaters and elsewhere, but capturing the role of Nurse Ratched in the Alliance Theater’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is a plum indeed. Kincaid has been a Jill of all trades with GET since it opened its doors in 1993. In addition to her stage work, she has served as GET’s education director and, later, marketing director. Currently she serves as resources director with the duties of overseeing both marketing and development for the theater. As an actor/director, she has acted in 16 productions and directed another three at GET, where her relationship with GET Artistic Director Robert Farley goes way back. “I had first worked with Bob
Farley when I was an acting intern at the Alliance [Theatre] before I moved to NYC,” Kincaid said. “He also directed my husband, Mark [Kincaid], in a production there. “Bob and Anita [Farley] reached out to both Mark and me when they were in the planning stages of forming GET. We moved back down here from New York to help launch the company, and here it is, in the blink of an eye, 23 years has passed.” Recently, Kincaid sat down to talk about her “Cuckoo” experience. HOW EXCITED WERE YOU TO GET THE ROLE OF NURSE RATCHED? KINCAID: Very. When Susan Booth reached out to me to play the part, I was thrilled. To have the opportunity to do THAT role, in THAT play, with Susan at the helm, on the Alliance stage – it was and is such an honor. HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO SOME OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU’VE PLAYED? KINCAID: Nurse Ratched is certainly different from anything I’ve done before. Most recently, I had played a come-

But it’s always exciting for an actor to get that kind of variety. DO YOU SEE RATCHED AS MORE A SYMBOL OF AN INSTITUTIONALIZED AMERICA, OR JUST A DEEPLY FLAWED HUMAN BEING? KINCAID: I personally see her as the latter, because that’s how I have to approach the role. But I understand that audiences are going to see the institutional symbolism

WHAT IS THE CHEMISTRY LIKE BETWEEN YOU AND THOMAS NEAL ANTWON GHANT (WHO PLAYS McMUR-

shire Women’s Institute, a sort of women’s club that meets for tai chi classes, guest lecturers (with slides) and a few surreptitious dollops of gin. The plot comes to a head after the death of Annie’s husband when the ladies decide at Chris’ instigation that they should raise some money. They want to replace the (offstage) torturous settee that plagued them all when visiting John in the cancer ward (also offstage). Leave it to Chris to commit herself and her friends to doing an “alternative” calendar in the “altogether” to raise the 500 pounds for a plush new settee that would be dedicated to John. So began their journey to make an immodest calendar for a modest cause. And thereby hangs the tale. Director Heidi Cline McKerley manages to stir the pot slowly to get the audience drawn into the world of these quirky women of all ages, shapes and sizes and how they find their own moon-orbits in it. As the first act wends its way to the inexorable first-act climatic photo session, you think McKerley can’t possibly pull it off with decorum and “no front bottoms showing.” Let’s just say McKerley walks a thin yet somehow decorous line between the power of suggestion and the full monty. “Calendar” is a based on a true story of a group of housewives who really did pose for a

Bethany Irby is striking as Cora, a woman that on one hand wants to be a woman on her own terms but can’t shake growing up PK (Preacher’s Kid). Celia (Meg Gillentine) should be the vamp of the group – and would be if she could overcome her own insecurities. The “Mark Cabus Show-Must-Go-On Award*” goes to Vicki Ellis Gray (Ruth) who did not let a fractured shoulder keep her from appearing opening night and making the most of her moments. (*Cabus was the irrepressible Alfred P. Doolittle in last season’s GET finale “My Fair Lady.” He suffered a severe ankle injury and performed with such panache on crutches one seldom noticed them.) Alex Bond (Jessie) and Joanna Daniel (Marie) added more spice to the confection. But kudos to McKerley for making this pastiche all come together so delightfully. It is a big thumbs-up, but it is not for the squeamish. It has mature subject matter and language, but it is never gratuitous.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW, CHATTAHOOCHEE VS. CENTENNIAL:
Knights look to repeat last year’s success over Cougars JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Chattahoochee and Centennial will square off for the 14th time when they meet Sept. 18. Chattahoochee currently holds the series lead, 7-6. Last season, Centennial’s Aaron Turk returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and the Knights never looked back, defeating the Cougars 45-31. The Knight’s Casen Conway compiled four total touchdowns, three through the air and one on the ground. The Knights’ offense has struggled to find its rhythm, scoring only a single touchdown in their opening two games against Roswell and South Forsyth. Centennial’s relatively inexperienced defense gave up 73 points in those games.
PREDICTING THE GAME:
LOCK OF THE WEEK Centennial 35
’Hooch 27
See more predictions below.
Chattahoochee’s offense will once again be led by junior quarterback Chase Owens, who threw for 187 yards and ran for 138, scoring four touchdowns in total in last year’s game against the Knights. The Cougars’ defense has also struggled, allowing 88 points in their opening two games. The matchup is likely to produce a
lot of points as both defenses have been lackluster so far this season. While the Knights’ offense has not put up huge numbers, they have faced tough defenses in their opening games, something the Cougars have not experienced. Look for a back-and-forth game between the offenses. Our prediction: Centennial 35, Chattahoochee 27.

will have reliable targets in seniors Nick Carlton and Darryl Bivers. Senior defensive lineman Dante Parara leads the team in tackles and sacks. However, the defense has had to rely on the Raiders’ offensive production as they are giving up over 30 points per game. The Longhorns opened their regionplay schedule against Johns Creek Sept. 4, winning 32-15. Quarterback Richie Kenney went 13-19 for 143 yards and six rushers compiled 223 yards on the ground. They then defeated West Forsyth 45-36. The Longhorns’ defense will have to step against a Raiders’ offense that is averaging 36 points per game and over 300 yards of total offense. Meanwhile, Al-
pharetta’s defense must focus its efforts after giving up 39 points to West Forsyth and 42 points to Johns Creek. The looming question is at the quarterback position for Alpharetta. Their offense has been nearly unstoppable so far this season but, without Downing, the Raiders will have to adjust. However, both Kelly and Magill put together scoring drives for the Raiders against Johns Creek. In what should be an exciting game that has huge implication in Region 6-AAAAAA, Alpharetta’s offense will have to keep up their high production and their defense will have to buckle down against Lambert’s strong running game. Our prediction: Lambert 28 Alpharetta 23

Sights from the game:
ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Alpharetta’s hopes to repeat as Region 6-AAAAAA champions for the fourth consecutive year took a hit as they lost 42-39 to Johns Creek Sept. 11. The Raiders are currently 1-1 in region play. Their next opponent, Lambert, is coming off of a 45-36 win over Centennial and is 2-0 in the region. The Alpharetta-Lambert matchup will likely have huge implications for the Region 6-AAAAAA standings. Both the Raiders and the Longhorns joined region 6-AAAAAA in 2012 and Alpharetta has finished atop the standings every year since. For the past two seasons, Lambert has finished runner-up to the Raiders. Alpharetta has owned the series between the two teams — they are 3-0 since their first meeting in 2012. Last season, Alpharetta won 35-17. Alpharetta may be without quarterback Matt Downing, who left the game against Johns Creek with an apparent hand injury. Davis Kelly and EJ Magill both had playing time for the Raiders at quarterback after Downing left the game. Whoever gets the start for the Raiders

Abbey of the Holy Goats brewery to open in Roswell Will be the first all-female-owned brewery in Georgia By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. - Roswell’s Kathy Davis will become the first female owner of a Georgia brewery later this year when her brewery, Abbey of the Holy Goats, begins production in Roswell. As a former Buddhist nun and nearly a goat farmer, Davis might not be considered a typical brewery owner, though she credits a few brews with altering her canonical course. She had taken her lay vows and was ready to move to Canada to enter the convent when a friend took her to the Brick Store Pub in Decatur. “Two weeks before I was to ship off to Nova Scotia to join the nunnery, my best friend took me to the Brick Store Pub and introduced me to Belgian-style beer and we drank quite a bit of it,� Davis said. “She convinced me I would never be able to see that again in a convent, so I quickly changed my tune about becoming a nun.� Davis then had aspirations to become a goat farmer. “I know people who own goats and I think they are quirky, fun animals. They are very interesting and they don’t play by any rules. They do whatever they want,� she said. That time, her parents offered occupational diversion in the form of a home-brewing kit. The first beer she brewed won first
place in its category in a brewing contest. “I won several more awards after that,� she said. Bolstered by her success and still in search of a career, she decided to pursue the idea of opening a brewery and enrolled in business school at Georgia State University. “The plan came together at that point,� Davis said. “While I was at business school, I spent the entire time working on this project. I wanted to be an entrepreneur and open my own business and I loved brewing, so the two just came together.� That was in 2010, and now Davis plans to have her dream come to fruition in late fall or early winter of this year. Abbey of the Holy Goats will have three production lines: a flagship line that will produce Belgian-style brews, a seasonal “brewer’s choice� line which Davis said will be “whatever we feel like brewing that season,� as well as a traditional souring line which will be inoculated with bacteria that will lend a pleasantly sour flavor to the beer. The sour beers will be fermented in oak vats and then barrel-aged in oak for at least a year. Davis said the brewery’s output hasn’t been determined yet, but her focus initially will be on quality. “We’re not going to be huge by any stretch of the imagination. If we were
brewing at capacity, we could brew a bunch of beer. But I would rather get brew quality over quantity,� she said. Once production starts, the beers will be available in one-way Roswell brewer Kathy Davis plans to open Abbey of kegs, which are recyclathe Holy Goats brewery late this year, becoming the ble.

Fellowship Christian school names Trevers assistant AD ROSWELL, Ga., -- Veteran coach and administrator Andy Trevers has been named assistant athletic director for the elementary school at Fellowship Christian School, athletic director Bryan Lindner announced today. “Our school is extremely blessed to add someone of Andy’s caliber to our athletic department,” Lindner said. “Andy is a born leader who has had an impact on the athletic and spiritual lives of hundreds of area athletes.

Daughter facing leukemia, basement flooded, Pay-it-forward group helps one of their own By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Emily Lillystone remembers 9/11 quite well. She lived and worked in New York City when the terror struck. And, like all New Yorkers, she was amazed at the outpouring of sympathy and outright help the Big Apple received in the weeks and months that followed. When the company she worked for, Merrill Lynch, began to organize what would become the New York Says Thank You Foundation, Liillystone became a volunteer. John Curti, a senior vice president at Merrill Lynch and chairman of NY Says Thank You, led the earliest effort to pay it forward. The first opportunity came in 2003 when New York Says Thank You Foundation CEO Jeff Pareness’ son had a suggestion. The boy was saddened by fires raging in California (much like today), and said it would be good to take a bunch of toys to the fire-ravaged areas to replace the ones lost by children there. That was the first project. “It’s a pay-it-forward foundation. So many people came to help New York after 9/11
and then [Hurricane] Sandy,” Lillystone said, so “a bunch of us wanted to do something for others who experienced some great need or disaster.” Though she now lives in Alpharetta with her husband, Ian, and three children – Charlie, 8, and 5-year-old twin daughters Hudson and Kingsley – Lillystone stayed in touch with her New York friends, one of whom would play a pivotal role after the family found themselves facing a health crisis. Two-and-a-half years ago, daughter Hudson was diagnosed with leukemia. “She is in a treatment study funded by CURE Childhood Cancer Foundation. Only about 4 percent of all cancer research is directed at cancer that attacks children. CURE raises funds solely for childhood cancer research,” Lillystone said. Hudson is about halfway through a treatment protocol that will end in January 2016. So far she has responded wonderfully, her mother said. But the families involved with CURE Georgia are a tight-knit group. Two weeks ago they lost a good friend, 12-yearold Mary Elizabeth Paris, also of Alpharetta, who had acute

Last Christmas, Lillystone and her husband wanted to make it “their best Christmas ever.” But Jan. 3 of this year a violent rainstorm sent a torrent of water down their street and flooded their finished basement – where all the children’s toys were kept. The insurance company called it a level IV contamination. But the Lillystones had
no flood insurance. “All the carpet was ruined also. The drywall was soaked. It all had to be removed to keep out any mildew. Well, we just threw up our hands. Our finances were already stretched to the limit fighting leukemia. The cleanup was $10,000.” Lillystone thought the basement could be put on the back burner for now, but one person didn’t agree – and here is where fate or kismet or karma
came into play. As a reminder, Lillystone was a New York Says Thank You volunteer from the early years. Her good friend Brooke Garafalo from college was and is still a foundation volunteer also. Garafalo was spending Christmas with the Lillystones and was there when the basement flooded. In past years, the foundation would

However, this year, the foundation decided to direct its efforts to 12 or 15 smaller projects. One is a 4-H Center in Katmandu, Nepal. And, as it turned out, another would be a small basement in Alpharetta. Garafalo had little trouble convincing friends at New York Says Thank You that the Lillystones would be a good choice to be on the receiving end of one of the projects. “I got an appointment with Jeff Parness, and he had already heard about what happened here. So he flew down to take a look at their house. He took one look and said, ‘Let us do this for you.’ Then they went into motion,” Garafalo said. The troops flew in Friday,
Sept. 4, Labor Day weekend. A couple of dozen volunteers came from all over – New York, Idaho, Texas and some firefighters from Slidell, Louisiana. They put in new flooring, drywall, a new bathroom and tile. Outside, they installed French drains so that no new flooding could occur. And, for good measure, they installed a swing, slide and gym set in the side yard. For the Lillystones, the volunteers have been a godsend. “It is unbelievable. We’ve been through a lot, first with Hudson’s treatment and then the basement flooding. It just brought tears to our eyes,” said Lillystone. “It means so much to us because this was something we just were not going to be able to do for the kids. “It’s just been amazing. Words can’t express having this group raise all this money, pay their own way to fly down and give up a holiday weekend with their family and do this for our family. It restores your faith in humanity,” she said. “It’s awesome.”

Avalon: Continued from Page 1 successful. At the city’s Sept. 9 meeting, the Alpharetta Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend denial of the restaurant’s conditional use of a drive-thru at the largest single development in the city. The city planning staff also recommended denial, saying a restaurant drive-thru window would not be consistent on the property. The Avalon project has
captured some of the trendiest regional and national restaurants and a list of 50-plus topflight retailers including Arhaus, Tommy Bahama, fab’rik, Kinnucan’s Outfitters, PNC, Anthropologie and Whole Foods. Apartment rentals are the highest in the city and new on-site homes begin in the $1 million range. But planning staff recommended denial of Chick-fil-A’s drive-thru window, saying it would create congestion at the location at peak times. Staff also said the drive-thru element is not consistent with a

Chick-fil-A attorney Don Rolader said there are several reasons why the restaurant will not hinder traffic interior to property, and could not hinder traffic on Old Milton Parkway: The site plan shows four outparcels, but North American has been merged into three, reducing the traffic load to that area along the north face of Old Milton to better accommodate the Chick-fil-A. In addition to the Chick-fil-A, there would be a medical office

building and a container store. Chick-fil-A would be in the middle between the two. Chick-fil-A said it would be a “flagship” restaurant with the latest technology at the register and in the kitchen. There is even a Chick-fil-A app now to order ahead. Chick-fil-A traffic engineers testified the restaurant will be able to “double-stack” up to 33 drive-thru customers at one time. This far exceeds the amount needed even for peak lunch-hour traffic. Old Milton Parkway traffic could never be affected by traffic to the restaurant because there is no direct access to Old Milton. All access is internal. Rolader noted that North American Properties has 60 years of experience in developing retail, office and mixeduse properties. It bought and turned around the Atlantic Station mixed-use property in Atlanta. “It has been transformed,” he said. North American Properties has also entered a partnership with the city to build a 350bed Marriott Signature Suites hotel and 74,000-square-foot convention center for $104.2 million, of which North American will invest $78.4 million. “Avalon has been meticulously planned for 580,000 square feet of office, 525 apartments, 500,000 square feet of retail and upscale single-family homes. Every square foot has been meticulously planned before the first spade of earth had been turned. “North American Properties is not about to let one little restaurant jeopardize the rest of the project,” Rolader said. “Planning staff mentioned the effect Chick-fil-A might have on other developments in the neighborhood. Avalon is the neighborhood.” Avalon knew going in that there would be a need for a family-friendly restaurant, especially for shoppers and residents with small children. Also there are a lot of office workers who do not have the time or inclination to have a
sit-down lunch. Chick-fil-A will cater and deliver lunches to those office buildings from their location on the property. “Avalon had targeted Chickfil-A from the beginning. The first two times they said no. But Chick-fil-A is the premiere franchise in the fast-food industry. Everything Avalon has done has been by design,” Rolader said. Chick-fil-A traffic will account for 2 percent of all traffic onto the property. After the Planning Commission meeting, Rolader was shaking his head. “I don’t think there is any legal reason for a denial of this use. It appeared to be a matter of personal preference on the part of the commissioners,” Rolader said. “They gave no legal reason.” Toro said later he could not understand the decision. “There are drive-thrus all over Alpharetta. The proposal locates [Chick-fil-A] in exactly the right spot so that it is immediately accessible from Old Milton Parkway and out of the main flow of traffic to Avalon,” Toro said. He pointed out there are several fast-food restaurants at North Point Mall that create no problems for traffic there. “I think it was a foregone conclusion that the Planning Commission would not have Chick-fil-A. We have heard people say that it is not good enough for Avalon, that it is too common. I’m not sure that it is government’s place to make those decisions,” Toro said. The quest for Chick-fil-A has been all about brand alignment, Toro said. “We only pursued one fastfood operator. And it is going to be Chick-fil-A or it is going to be no one. We could go to Waffle House, they don’t have a drive-thru. But that brand does not align with us,” Toro said. “It’s not what our guests are seeking,” he said. The case will be heard at the Sept. 28 City Council meeting for a final decision.

Exit: Continued from Page 1 It is receiving local funding through the bond as well as federal funding. Total cost is projected at $47 million with a completion date of 2020. Three options were presented at the open house. One option leaves the interchange basically where it’s at, said Tim Allen, assistant director of the engineering department for the county. A second option moves it over to line up with Deer Field Point. Because this will impact
not only Forsyth County but surrounding cities including Milton, Alpharetta and Johns Creek, the GDOT has made this a priority project, Allen said. “They see the regional significance of building this to improve traffic flow,” Allen said. “Ultimately it ties McGinnis Ferry Road, which will be widened in the future, back over to Sargent Road, which will complete the four lanes all the way over to I-85. This is a regional east-west connector route and it needs a direct connection, which it will have once this is built.” This interchange idea isn’t new, Allen said. “The county proposed adding interchanges along Ga. 400
and other roads like Shiloh Road and Old Atlanta Road about 15 years ago,” he said. “It’s always been in the back of everybody’s minds we need more access to and from Ga. 400. Now that the county has almost doubled in population in the past decade, it’s time.” This is for people who use Ga. 400 now and 20 years from now, Allen said. “The biggest impact will give people more choices to go to and from their homes to Ga. 400 if they have to commute on it,” Allen said. “It’ll open up different avenues and hopefully quicker routes to and from their houses. This will open up the whole area to a more direct route, easier travel and better level of service. This
will hopefully move traffic more efficiently and reduce delays.” This interchange is in Commissioner Todd Levent’s district in Forsyth County. He said this is important because it’s planning for the future of the county, but it’s also something that’s been needed for a while. “It’s traffic and if you don’t keep traffic moving, it damages the quality of life for everyone,” Levent said. “If you have good movement of traffic then you can also expand on business. You can also expand corporations. CEOs will have nothing to do with a community where traffic doesn’t move. Everybody’s looking forward to McGinnis Ferry having an expansion.”
For those unable to attend, written statements can be submitted until Sept. 21 to John Cunard, Director of Engineering for Forsyth County,110 East Main Street, Suite 120, Cumming, GA 30040 The display can be viewed at the Forsyth County Engineering Department office located at 110 East Main Street, Suite 120, in Cumming. Plans will also be available at the GDOT District Office located at 2505 Athens Highway, Gainesville, and the GDOT District Office located at 5025 New Peachtree Road in Chamblee. Project information will also be available after the open house on the GDOT website http://www.dot.ga.gov/PS/ Public/PublicOutreach.

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
