In-person learning continues despite increase in numbers

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County Schools plans to reach a decision soon on how instruction will be delivered next semester as officials monitor the persistent impact of COVID-19 cases. The district reopened all schools to face-to-face learning on Oct. 14 after a seven-month stint of virtual instruction. This semester, students can choose virtual or in-person learning, with flexibility to change that decision. The Fulton County School Board is expected to outline an instruction plan for the second semester at its Nov. 19 meeting. Since reopening in mid-October, three schools in North Fulton temporarily closed for deep cleaning after positive COVID tests sent high numbers of students and staff into quarantine. Cambridge High School in Milton became the first area school to pause inschool instruction in mid-October after two cases of COVID required more than 120 staff or students to quarantine. Last week Milton High School and Hembree Springs Middle School resumed virtual instruction for three days before reopening classrooms to students. Fulton County Schools Superintendent Mike Looney acknowledged the challenges of instruction in uncertain

times, and under the additional disruption of Hurricane Zeta which closed all schools in late October. “[I’m] very proud of our team’s response and impressed with the number of students that logged on to continue learning [after the hurricane shutdown],” Looney said in a tweet to the district. Fulton County Schools worked for months on an opening and closing plan for all schools as it prepared for the return of students in the fall. The goal was to resume building openings when statistics showed no more than 100 positive cases per 100,000 county residents, or two reporting periods of decreasing rates, based on data from the Fulton County Public Health Department. That number was achieved in midOctober allowing all schools to resume in-person instruction for students who chose to attend. Since then, the COVID positivity rates have slowly risen. As of the end of October, nearly every community in the Fulton School district is above the 100-case threshold per 100,000. Looney said closing all schools in March for one positive case was a mistake, and he noted the entire district will not shut down again unless advised to by health officials. District officials say that is still the plan, despite the disruption of individual schools opening and closing. According to police, the victim reported an unidentified man called him the day before claiming to be a Social Security Administration representative. The caller told the victim that Milton police were closing in to arrest him because his Social Security number had been linked to fraudulent credit card transactions as well as money laundering. He ordered the man to empty his bank account before police froze it, and ordered him to wait outside the bank after he retrieved the funds. The caller claimed someone would pick him up and take him to a

“We are monitoring the data in collaboration with the Fulton Board of Health,” said Chief Communications Officer Brian Noyes. “By working together, any major decision will be collaborative.” Social media was quick to both praise and criticize the decision to keep all schools open during a national and statewide rise in COVID cases. District officials maintain the decision to return to school or remain in virtual learning rests with the students and parents. About 60 percent of the district’s 93,000 students chose in-person instruction in October. Some parents focused on why siblings of those who were quarantined, but attend other schools, were allowed to remain in school. Noyes said the district follows the plan it set and the advice of public health officials. “The school closing matrix is clear,” Noyes said. “Schools are put into remote learning based on cases at that school. We encourage families who think they have been exposed to get tested, [and] this includes siblings.” He also reminded families to be particularly vigilant during the Thanksgiving holidays where large gatherings may be taking place. “We are concerned [with holiday breaks] and will be sending reminders to our community, staff and students about ways to stay safe from the virus during this time,” Noyes said. government ATM to deposit his money in a safe account that police could not touch. The victim told officers the phone call frightened him so much that he went to his bank on Windward Parkway to close his account, according to the report. Luckily, the bank teller told him that she could not give him the money because his son, who was a signatory on the account, needed to sign off. When the victim informed the caller

Democrats defend hard-won gains in north Metro Atlanta Albers holds off challenge to keep GOP Senate seat By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA — With all the tension accompanying the Nov. 3 General Election, in the end, there were few shakeups in north Metro Atlanta when the final ballots were counted. For the most part, political parties encroached little into new territory, although there were a few tight races. Bob Ellis retained his District 2 seat on the Fulton County Commission, defeating Democratic challenger Justin Holsomback. Ellis drew 47,131 — or 54 percent — of the nearly 88,000 votes cast. District 2 represents Milton and large portions of Alpharetta, Roswell and Sandy Springs. There were two other commission races. Democrat Natalie Hall held her seat in District 4 against Republican challenger Barbara Gresham, and Democrat Khadijah Abdur-Rahman ran unopposed for the seat vacated by Joe Carn. Overall, Fulton voters turned out in record numbers. Election officials say close to 515,000 votes were cast. That’s nearly 20 percent more than voted in the 2016 presidential election.

The slate of other Fulton County office winners included all Democrats. All ran unopposed. They include: District Attorney Fani Willis, Superior Court Clerk Cathelene Robinson, Sheriff Patrick Labat, Tax Commissioner Arthur Ferdinand and Solicitor General Keith Gammage. U.S. HOUSE 6th Congressional District Incumbent Democrat Lucy McBath defeated Republican Karen Handel who lost the seat to McBath in 2018. This time around, McBath drew 54 percent of the vote, far greater than the razorthin margin she posted two years ago. Turnout for the 2020 congressional race was also higher, with 394,000 votes cast, almost 25 percent more than in 2018. District 6 includes most of northern Fulton County and parts of Cobb County. GEORGIA STATE SENATE District 21 — Incumbent State Sen. Brandon Beach of Alpharetta ran unopposed. Beach, a Republican, drew 25,644 votes. The district covers north Alpharetta, all of Milton and much of Cherokee County. District 56 — Incumbent Republican State Sen. John Albers held off a serious challenge from Democrat Sarah Beeson, retaining his seat by about 2,200 votes,

about 2 percent of the nearly 100,000 votes cast. District 56 includes Roswell, southern portions of Alpharetta and Milton, and roughly the area west of Jones Bridge Road in Johns Creek. District 48 — Democrat Michelle Au defeated Republican Matt Reeves 56 percent to 44 percent. Au’s victory keeps the seat in Democratic hands, filling the vacancy left by Zahra Karinshak, who stepped down to run for the U.S. House. District 48 includes most of Johns Creek. District 40 — Incumbent Democrat Sally Harrel held fast to her seat, defeating Republican Gary Guan 60 percent to 40 percent. District 40 encompasses Dunwoody and other portions of DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties. GEORGIA STATE HOUSE District 47 — Republican incumbent Jan Jones held on to her seat, defeating Democrat Anthia Owens Carter. Jones garnered 61 percent of the vote. District 47 includes all of Milton and portions of north Roswell and west Alpharetta. District 48 — Democrat incumbent Mary Robichaux fought off a challenge from Republican Betty Price, whom she unseated in 2018. Robichaux edged out the former Roswell City councilwoman by just over 1,200 votes, 52-48 percent.

The district covers most of Roswell and southern portions of Alpharetta. District 49 — Incumbent Republican Chuck Martin drew 53 percent of the vote to secure a win over Democrat Jason T. Hayes. The former Alpharetta mayor outpaced his challenger by 1,800 votes. District 49 includes most of Alpharetta and a sliver of northwest Johns Creek. District 50 — Incumbent Democrat Angelika Kausche defeated Republican and former Johns Creek City Councilman Jay Lin, 53 percent to 47 percent. Kausche ended the polling with a margin of nearly 1,600 votes. The district represents most of the City of Johns Creek. District 51 — Incumbent Democrat Josh McLaurin defeated Republican challenger Alex B. Kaufman, winning 55 percent of the vote. District 51 includes the area south of Old Alabama Road and west of Barnwell Road in Johns Creek. District 79 — Incumbent Democrat Mike Wilensky cruised with 60 percent of the vote to defeat Republican Andrea Johnson for the seat, which includes most of Dunwoody and parts of Doraville and Chamblee. District 95 — Incumbent Democrat Beth Moore garnered 56 percent of the votes to hold off a bid by Republican Erica McCurdy. District 95 includes a small section of Johns Creek south of Old Alabama Road and west of Barnwell Road,

Milton honors second Wall of Fame inductees By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

Hill died in March due to complications of COVID-19 at the age of 63.

MILTON, Ga. — Though just turning 14, Milton has already produced many standout athletes and people who have made noteworthy contributions to the parks and recreation community. For the second year, the city honored seven of former or current residents with a Wall of Fame induction ceremony Saturday at Bell Memorial Park. The second class of inductees include:

Von Kottis Von Kottis was involved in the girls softball program for years and served on the city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee. He was a prominent voice in transforming Bell Memorial Park and was instrumental in making the Milton Steelers youth football a free program for residents. Kottis passed away in 2017 at the age of 57.

Ron Hill A Virginia transplant and U.S. Army Veteran, Hill made his mark on athletics and recreation in several areas of Metro Atlanta. Hill, who played football and basketball before his military service, served on the Milton Parks and Recreation Advisory Board from 2011 to 2019 and was a major voice in guiding the city’s fledgling parks and recreation amenities to its current state. Hill also served as football, basketball, and track and field coach and mentor at Mount Vernon School in Sandy Springs, with the city stating he “offered insight, character, leadership and humor everywhere he went.”

Jack Dunn Jack Dunn’s baseball career began at Bell Memorial Park playing for the Hopewell Youth Association. It continues today with the Blessed Trinity and Northwestern alum reaching the professional ranks. After getting his start in the sport in Milton, Dunn was a standout shortstop for Blessed Trinity and was vital in the Titans’ capturing the 2014 and 2015 Class 3A state titles. Dunn still holds the highest fielding percentage in a season at BT during his senior year with no errors in an entire season (2015) in over 100 chances. Dunn played college ball at Northwestern University where he started 211

COMMUNITY

Trout anglers: Delayed Harvest season is here! Every year there are certain mileposts: birthdays, anniversaries, and of course the opening of Georgia’s Delayed Harvest trout season! While trout fishing is now yearround in Georgia, STEVE HUDSON and has been for Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net a while, so-called Delayed Harvest streams are special seasonal waters that are managed specifically to increase angler success (that’s another way of saying “to help anglers have fun!”). Delayed Harvest waters are portions of streams that are too warm for trout during the late spring, summer and fall. But come winter, the water temperatures drop enough to turn them into comfortable trout habitat. They’re then stocked with trout and managed under a special set of “Delayed Harvest” regulations which have been designed to provide good trout fishing through the colder months of late fall through early spring. John Lee Thomson, Wildlife Resources Division trout stocking coordinator, notes that portions of five Georgia streams are part of the state’s Delayed Harvest program. During the Delayed Harvest season, which runs from Nov. 1 through May 14, these waters are managed under catch-and-release, artificialsonly regulations. Only single-hook lures can be used, and all trout caught must be immediately returned to the water. What happens once Delayed Harvest

She lettered all four years at Milton High School and led the team to a region championship and berth in the Elite Eight of the state tournament in 2011. The Milton grad went on to play D1 softball at Nicholls State University where she split her time as a catcher and outfielder. Marshall was also a member of the Great Britain National Softball Program from 2011-14 and competed in the 2013 Junior Women’s World Softball Championships. An injury ended Marshall’s playing career, but she has since coached softball for her high school alum, two travel teams and several colleges, including Emory University and Kennesaw State University.

season is over? On May 15, regular trout regulations take over, and the trout can be caught and kept — thus, “Delayed Harvest.” Many anglers eagerly anticipate the arrival of the Delayed Harvest season. I know that I do! I start planning my first trip several weeks in advance. Where are these Delayed Harvest waters? Starting in far northern Georgia and working our way south, they include the following: The stretch of the Toccoa River in Fannin County from 0.4 miles above Shallowford Bridge to 450 feet above the Sandy Bottom Canoe Access. A portion of the Chattooga River in northeastern Georgia from Ga. 28 upstream to the mouth of Reed Creek on U.S. Forest Service land bordering South Carolina. The section of Smith Creek extending downstream of Unicoi Lake to the Unicoi State Park boundary. The portion of Amicalola Creek on the Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area from Steele Bridge Road downstream to Ga. 53. Georgia’s fifth Delayed Harvest water, and the one closest to us, is the section of the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta from Sope Creek (located downriver from Johnson Ferry Road) downstream to the Hwy 41 Bridge. This fishery is easily accessed through several units of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Most anglers get to the water through either the Palisades West, Whitewater (via Whitewater Creek Road) or Cochran Shoals Units, though access is also possible via the Powers Island CRNRA access point or via the Akers Drive access.

But there’s some bad news for Chattahoochee Delayed Harvest anglers, at least temporarily. This year, the Chattahoochee Delayed Harvest water has not yet been stocked. “Due to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ need to lower Lake Lanier’s water level for dam repairs,” Thomson says, “and the associated high flows in the Chattahoochee River below Morgan Falls Dam, we will not stock the Chattahoochee River Delayed Harvest section until fishable conditions return to the river.” However, Georgia’s other four Delayed Harvest streams have plenty of fish and should continue to offer good catch-andrelease fishing through the season. These waters are stocked monthly by Georgia’s Wildlife Resources Division and by other partner agencies including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and South Carolina’s DNR. It’s no surprise that this combination of regular stocking and catch-andrelease allows for good trout catch rates and generally high angler satisfaction. One of the neatest things about Georgia’s Delayed Harvest waters is that they offer the potential for a variety of different angling experiences. Looking for easy access and kid-friendly water? Check out Smith Creek. Want to enjoy a midsize stream? Then Amicalola Creek may be for you. If you want a little bit bigger water, then the Toccoa DH (or the Chattahoochee DH, once stocking eventually resumes following dam repairs) may be your cup of tea — and for more of a backcountry experience, check out the DH portion of the Chattooga. What sort of flies and lures work best?

Remember that only artificial single-hook lures can be used. Fly fishers will do well with San Juan Worms, egg imitations such as the Y2K, and buggy-looking nymphs or flashy streamers. Spin fishers can have good success with single-hook in-line spinners in silver, gold, or rainbow trout colors. If you’d like to learn more about Georgia’s Delayed Harvest waters, you might like to join in on a Zoom presentation I’m offering at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 18. This free program, which is sponsored by Alpharetta Outfitters, will teach you everything you need to know to get the most out of Georgia’s great Delayed Harvest trout waters and will also give you an upclose look at each of Georgia’s five Delayed Harvest streams.

Milton Fire Chief retires after 12 years with department Robert Edgar has served as city’s only fire chief By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Robert Edgar, who has led the Milton Fire Department since its creation, has retired. Edgar’s final day with the city was Friday. Edgar said he and his family took a leap of faith in moving to Milton from south Florida 12 years ago so he could serve as chief, and it has been a “great honor” to serve in the role. “We took a new department and turned it into an organization that is recognized throughout the state,” Edgar said. “Our customer service is second to none because this department’s members care about the citizens and the community we serve. I am very proud to say that I was the fire chief in Milton, Georgia.” Edgar said the most gratifying experience in his role has been Milton Fire’s never-say-no attitude toward helping those in the city. “If we are asked to assist a citizen or even another city employee or department, we are there,” he said. “My expectations have always been high for

our team, and they exceed those expectations every day.” Edgar’s retirement comes during an exciting period for the department. Fire Station 44 recently came online at the city’s new Public Safety Complex. Edgar also presented plans for the redevelopment of Fire Station 42, which was inherited from Fulton County, at last week’s City Council meeting. The former Fire Chief said many long hours were spent on a design that fit the community and one the community would appreciate. “I am so proud of everything we have accomplished,” he said. “Our firefighters and my successor get to use them, but they belong to the community and they deserve the best. I have heard from so many of our residents who love our new station and its location. Our trucks and equipment are the best, [and] we have always been great stewards of the city’s tax dollars, searching for that best deal.” He also touted other initiatives the department has led in recent years, including a wellness program and its focus on protecting firefighters with state-ofthe-art protective equipment. Edgar was also proud of the department’s “boot drives” that benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, which led that state

in funds raised several years and have raised nearly $1 million. The moments that most stand out during Edgar’s tenure is when a resident reached out him. “When I receive an email, phone call

or letter from a citizen that we helped, saying thank you for helping me and/ or my family,” he said. “Personally, that means more than anything, we did our job and did it well.” He also said the department’s annual breakfast with Santa community event will be fondly remembered. But in Edgar’s line of work, not all the most memorable moments stem from happy occasions. “The saddest night I ever had while chief was when I had to share with our firefighters that one of our own had passed away,” he said. “That will remain with me forever.” After 41 years in the fire service, Edgar said he felt like now is the time to retire and move back to his home state of Florida. He and his wife purchased a waterfront home in Palm Coast. “I look forward to spending time with family and do as much fishing as I can,” he said. “Since leaving Florida 12 years ago my days of fishing have been very limited. I look forward to getting back on the boat.” His final message for those in Milton was one of gratitude. “I would like to thank the Milton community and city leadership for all their support and trust,” he said.

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — City officials have approved final plans for a 35-home residential development with two commercial buildings at the Birmingham Crossroads. Plans for the development have gone through several iterations since it was first proposed in 2014. Two of those proposals were denied by the City Council, but the current project is developable by right. The Milton City Council approved the final plat for the project on the consent agenda at its Nov. 2 meeting. The development will be built on 22 acres at the southeast corner of Birmingham Highway and Birmingham Road, across from the Publix shopping complex. Most of the frontage will be along Birmingham Highway. The project includes 35 single family homes split between the property’s mixed-use and AG-1 zonings. The mixed-use portion of the site will include

25 homes at 3.77 lots per acre and two commercial buildings, one outlined as a medical building on the site plan. The commercial structures will line Birmingham Highway and flank an entrance to the development. Another entrance on the property’s northern section along Birmingham Road is shown on the plan. Ten AG-1, or 1-acre minimum lots, are set for the southern and eastern portion of the site with a cul-de-sac. A large stormwater facility is shown along Birmingham Highway. The current plan required no discussion from city officials, but past proposals for the property had proved contentious. Before the incorporation of Milton, Fulton County approved a rezoning of the site for mixed-use including retail, townhomes and single-family homes, but no final plan ever materialized. In 2014, the Milton City Council approved a request by a developer that reduced the density of the commercial spaces, nixed a proposed daycare and reduced the number of townhomes to add 19 single-family homes, but that project was abandoned. Two years later, the council denied a proposal to replace retail spaces with townhomes. In 2018, a proposal was presented

for 24 single-family homes in the mixeduse area, three commercial buildings and nine AG-1 homes, along with a request to delete a buffer. With the varied history of proposals presented for the site, the 2018 request caused some confusion as to what had been permitted to be developed by right. After the smoke cleared, the City Council denied the request. A land disturbance permit for the project was previously issued and construction on homes can now begin.

While this industry has been significantly impacted by the pandemic, we are seeing vast improvements as both businesses and consumers are learning to adapt. STEVE STROUD, executive director of Roswell Inc 12 | Milton Herald | November 12, 2020

Roswell Inc names ‘Best Sips in Roswell’ ROSWELL, Ga. — The fifth annual Summer Sippin’ Roswell, which wrapped on Sept. 30, brought the community together to safely celebrate the end of summer while supporting the local restaurants. The event also served to crown the “Best Sips in Roswell” 2020. This year’s event was the largest to date with 51 participating restaurants, breweries and cafes each featuring a unique summer-inspired sip, with inhouse and carryout options available. During the two-month-long event, patrons were encouraged to order sips at participating restaurants. Customers could then rate each sip they tried on the Summer Sippin’ app or the event website to determine the “Best Sips in Roswell” 2020. Organizers reported thousands of drinks were sold, and hundreds of customers participated. This year’s winning restaurants are both Hispanic-owned businesses, with sips inspired by the flavors of Latin America. The 2020 “Best Sips in Roswell” first-place winners are — the “Blackberries Hot Volcano Margarita” at Fresco Cantina Grille in the alcoholic category, and the “VC-SHOCK” kombucha at Huh Natural & Real Food in the non-alcoholic category. Last year’s runner up, Fresco Cantina Grille, brought some sweet heat to the competition. Its Blackberries Hot Volcano Margarita is made with red chile-infused tequila, blackberries, lime, triple sec, agave nectar and topped with mango Raspado, which is a traditional Latin American summer treat of shaved ice and fruit syrup. Fresco opened in 2018 and has quickly become a local favorite, known for their fresh, made-fromscratch dishes and unique cocktails. “The beginning of the pandemic was difficult, but Fresco shifted its business model to focus on online ordering and

even launched a delivery website recently,” said Paola Caceres, communications and office manager. “Summer Sippin’ also helped us reach customers and increase sales. We sold about 350 Summer Sippin’ drinks and saw a 5 percent increase in sales during the twomonth-long event.” In the nonalcoholic category, first-time participant Huh Natural and Real Food created See the list the competition’s of winning first kombucha. alcoholic The “VC-Shock” is and non-alpacked with Vitacoholic sips min C and Peruonline vian flavor, made at north with passion fruit, fulton.com cherries and goldenberry — a sweet and tropical fruit common in Peru. The cafe bakery opened in December 2019 and offers gluten-free and dairy-free dishes that are made with fresh, organic ingredients. “March and April were very difficult for our restaurant, but we are gradually recovering,” said owner and operator Sebastian Gracey. “Participating in Summer Sippin’ helped us during this difficult time. We sold around 200 VCShock kombuchas, and over the last two months, our sales have grown by 10 percent each month. Although this year’s projected sales are lower than we anticipated, we are seeing things improve day by day.” At the onset of COVID-19, Roswell

Inc wasn’t sure if Summer Sippin’ would happen at all. The organization initially halted all plans for the event while their team focused on informing and supporting the local business community as they navigated the pandemic. But as the weeks went on, it quickly became apparent that the food and beverage industry was going to be one of the hardest hit sectors. “Roswell is a culinary destination, and support programs such as Summer Sippin’ and Roswell Restaurant Week not only help restaurants increase sales, but they also spread regional awareness so that the food and beverage industry can continue to thrive,” said Steve Stroud, executive director of Roswell Inc. After much consideration, Roswell Inc determined that Summer Sippin’ would provide vital marketing support as the industry looked toward reopening and recovery. The event was rescheduled for August through September, and Roswell Inc announced that it would waive all participation fees for the first time ever. Additionally, with safety remaining the top priority, carryout and take-home options were encouraged and strict “Sip Safely Standards” were implemented. “While this industry has been significantly impacted by the pandemic, we are seeing vast improvements as both businesses and consumers are learning to adapt,” Stroud said. “The winter months will require restaurants to further pivot, but we will continue to support them through these efforts and plan to announce dates for an extended Roswell Restaurant Week very soon.” Summer Sippin’ is an industry support event by Roswell Inc and is sponsored by Gas South and EDGE Business Solutions.

Local distance runners compete in 2020 cross-country state meet By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com CARROLTON, Ga. — Dozens of North Fulton and Forsyth County runners competed at the 2020 GHSA cross-country state meet Nov. 6-7 at Carrolton High School. Cambridge boys captured the program’s second team state championship in four years, and South Forsyth’s Carmel Yonas won the Class 7A state title. This year’s state meet was the first in which Class 7A teams earned berths in the finals based on region competition. Area meets had been used to determine qualifying in prior years. CLASS 7A BOYS Milton was led by a podium finish from Hayden Marshall who placed third overall at 16:16.42. Marshall has steadily improved his state meet performances after placing 26th in 2018 and 17th last year. The Eagles were fifth in team scores will all five runners in the top-75. Jack Petkash finished 26th just ahead of teammate Connor Brunson, with Cory Chambers placing 64th and Lorin Tady in 74th. Roswell was 12th in team scores and led by top-30 finishes from Christain Cartier (25th) and Christian Jimenez (28th). Matthew Brunner (62nd), William Ulhmeye (76th) and Owen Roberts (104th) also scored for the Hornets. CLASS 7A GIRLS Milton continued its streak of placing in the top-10 in team scores with 225 points, good for ninth. Calista Cacciatore led the Eagles in 30th, ahead of teammates Audrey Nichols (40th), Ella Grace Malcom (56th) Farrah Frith (61st) and Jessica Albregts (68th). Roswell was 15 points behind West to place 11th in team scores, led by Lynley Blocker in 23rd and Melanie Tribick in 29th. Tara Goff placed 51st, ahead of teammates Mariana Ornelas in 80th and Julia Haley, who finished 102nd. CLASS 6A BOYS Cambridge boys captured the program’s second state championship in four years by placing all five scoring runners in the top-27. Caelan Jones led the Bears at 17:48.37, good for 19th place overall, with four teammates in tow. Cole Suplee (21st), Kaine Dudley (23rd), Lyle Donovan (24th) and Colby Jones (27th) all finished within six seconds of Jones to give the Bears the state title with a 9-point advantage over South Effingham. Barrett McAree ran individually for Centennial and placed 87th overall at 19:00.1. CLASS 6A GIRLS After three straight state titles, Cambridge girls came up just short

of a four-peat Nov. 6. The Bears were outpaced by Pope and Allatoona and took third in team scores. Anna Filipek placed 17th overall for the second straight year at the state meet, ahead of Katie Malone in 20th. Faith Hirschi (26th), Disha Baglodi (43rd) and Isabel Filipek (47th) also scored for the Bears.

Eagles knock off unbeaten Hornets to take control of region By ZACH SHUGAN news@appenmediagroup.com

More coverage online

MILTON, Ga. — Anytime Milton and Roswell square off, the stakes are high and the tension is palpable. But bragging rights were not the only thing at stake when the teams met for the 66th time Saturday night in Milton. Now that the teams are back in the same region, the game also had region championship implications. Both the Hornets and Eagles entered the night undefeated in 5-7A play. With all that and more on the line, Milton held off a late comeback attempt to defeat the previously unbeaten Hornets, 20-14, and take control of their region with two weeks left in the regular season. “It’s a great win against a great team,” Milton head coach Adam Clack said. “You don’t need the region to make it matter a lot, but now that we have it in the region, I love that. I love the rivalries and all that stuff, but that’s more for the fans. Now we get to really make it count, which I think makes it more special. It was great to see our guys hold on there and grit it out at the end as things started not breaking our way.” Milton shot out to a 20-0 lead after the offense scored on three of its four drives in the opening half. The Eagles’ defense forced Roswell to punt on all four of its drives. After Roswell received the opening kickoff, Milton held the Hornets to a three-and-out. The Eagles took over on offense and drove 75 yards in six minutes, culminating with a 4-yard touchdown run by Jordan McDonald. Milton’s next score came on a 1-yard rush by McDonald, who amassed 73 yards on 10 carries through the Eagles’ first two drives. The PAT was blocked, keeping Milton’s lead 13-0 early in the second quarter.

ZACH SHUGAN/HERALD

Milton running back Jordan McDonald (5) falls into the end zone for one of his three touchdowns in the Eagles' Nov. 7 win over Roswell. Milton extended its advantage to 20-0 later in the quarter when McDonald found the end zone from 5-yards out for his third score of the night. From that point, it was all defense for the Eagles. Roswell did score twice in the fourth quarter and appeared to have momentum on its side, but Milton secured the victory as time dwindled away. Roswell avoided the shutout with an early fourth-quarter score from running back Ryan Stephens. The Hornets received two gifts on their way to scoring, as the Eagles were flagged for roughing the kicker and pass interference to keep the Hornets’ drive alive. Following a stop by the Roswell defense, the Hornets got a dramatic touchdown to further their comeback bid. On fourth-and-26 from Milton’s 37-

yard line, Robbie Roper lofted a deep ball, and Michael Fitzgerald snatched it down for a score to cut Roswell’s deficit to 20-14 with less than five minutes remaining. The Hornets were unable to get the stop they needed, though. Milton kept the clock rolling with first downs until they could take a knee to end the game. The Eagles gained 381 yards total on offense (264 rushing, 117 passing) compared to Roswell’s 258 yards (194 passing, 64 rushing). McDonald finished the night with 23 carries for 121 yards and all three of Milton’s touchdowns. Junior quarterback Devin Farrell passed for 117 yards and rushed for 76 yards. “I think without a doubt, especially when you consider who the competi-

tion was, it was our best half of football offensively,” Clack said. “But you got to play 48 [minutes]. It wasn’t a great third quarter, but awesome job of executing four-minute offense at the end to keep their explosive offense off the field and not give them another shot.” With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the 5-7A playoff picture is starting to develop. Milton, Cherokee and Roswell seem primed to take the top three spots in Region 5-7A, though the order is undecided. Alpharetta and Woodstock remain in contention for the final playoff spot, but Etowah is not mathematically eliminated from the postseason. The Eagles’ destiny is in their hands following the win over Roswell. Victories over Woodstock and Cherokee would earn Milton its third consecutive region championship and a No. 1 seed in the 7A state playoffs. With a region title and playoff seeding on the line, Clack doesn’t want the Eagles to rest on their laurels as they close out the regular season. “I hope the mindset is ‘Get better on Monday,’ Clack said. “That’s what we’re trying to build in this culture. We’re down to 10 practices left guaranteed. If we can make every one of those practices count, we’re going to be in the playoffs and in the best possible position that we can be in.” Milton plays Nov. 13 at Woodstock (3-5, 1-2) and finishes the regular season at home against Cherokee. Roswell (6-1, 2-1) wraps up its regular season at home against Alpharetta (2-3, 1-2) and Woodstock.

3 Reasons why you need cryotherapy during winter months Brought to you by — Hydralive Therapy You may be thinking, “It’s getting cold outside. Do I really need to continue with cryotherapy at this time of year?” The answer is: Yes! Cryotherapy is beneficial during the winter months, and you’ll soon see why as you read the advantages listed below: 1. Cryotherapy fights winter weight Seasonal weight gain during winter in the United States is 5-10 lbs. And we all know why. Gym-goers lose their motivation to exercise as temperatures drop. Cold weather breeds lethargy, and the temptation to stay indoors with a blanket, hot chocolate and Netflix is hard to resist. And then comes the holidays with all sorts of seasonal parties, feasts and treats. When you continue with Cryotherapy

sessions throughout winter, you can manage this annual weight gain by burning hundreds of calories in a single session. Cryotherapy also boosts metabolism, which in turn helps you burn more calories all day. 2. Cryotherapy fights winter blues Winter blues, also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), is a common mood affliction during cold, icy weather conditions. Scientists theorize that shorter days and lack of sufficient sunlight change brain chemicals and bring on feelings of listlessness, depression and boredom that are hard to shift sometimes. Whole-body cryotherapy has proved to be a very effective treatment to shake off chronic symptoms of the winter

Flu vs COVID-19 in kids: Wellstar shares what parents should know Brought to you by — Dr. Hebah Pranckun pediatrician at Wellstar Avalon Health Park, 470-267-0380 Does my child have a cold, the flu, or COVID-19? During typical flu seasons, this question has often had an easy answer. This year, the question has become much more daunting for parents DR. PRANCKUN with the added confusion of the COVID-19 pandemic. How do you make a wise decision whether to keep your child home, send them to school, or isolate them? While this may seem like murky water, Wellstar Avalon Health Park Pediatrician Dr. Hebah Pranckun shared health tips to help parents make a safe decision. COVID-19 and the flu share many overlapping symptoms, which can make it difficult to discern or diagnose. However, two symptoms stand out for COVID-19: a loss of sense of taste and/ or smell, though these are not the most common symptoms of the virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), while the flu and COVID-19 may have a variety of symptoms, children with COVID-19 most

commonly experience a cough with or without fever. Compared with children with the flu, research has also revealed those diagnosed with COVID-19 more commonly reported symptoms such as headache, body ache, diarrhea, vomiting, and chest pain. According to the CDC, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) can cause different parts of the body to become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes or gastrointestinal organs. Many children with MIS-C may carry the virus that causes COVID-19, though MIS-C may also be present in some flu cases for children. Because of the significant overlap in symptoms, it is important to consider additional risk factors to determine if your child may have the flu or COVID-19. First, determine if you or your family have had any known recent contact with anyone who has had either one of these illnesses. Next, identify any travel to or time spent in areas with increased spread or high prevalence

Until the possibility of contagious spread is ruled out, your child should stay home from school or childcare.

On that Most Dreaded of Diseases: Uncombable Hair Syndrome Brought to you by — Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta This evening, I set to work planning to write an article that our local readers would find interDR. TAYLOR esting and informative and began writing about a skin cancer case that I recently treated. But as the days are getting colder and COVID is still in the air, I thought, wouldn’t it be nice have something fun and pleasant for a change? Which leads me to…. Uncombable Hair Syndrome. Yes, uncombable hair syndrome is an actual disease. First off, my sincere apologies to anyone afflicted with this malady if I misunderstand any distress it may cause. My only exposure to this condition was to a single case in my residency, the details of which I hope will excuse me for any seeming lack of sympathy: A beautiful couple presented to clinic with the CUTEST child you ever seen. He was a delight, babbling and smiling and running amok trying to grab everything he shouldn’t have. At first glance, nothing appeared wrong. His arms were free of eczema. His moles looked normal. He didn’t even seem to have a lick of lip licker’s dermatitis. Why was he in a dermatology clinic? Exasperated, his mom lamented, “I can’t comb his hair – you don’t understand it WON’T comb.” She went on to explain. No matter the mousse, the hair spray, the shampoo or conditioner, his obstinate hair willfully sprung back into a tussled mishmash of hairs going in every direction. These hairs had a mind of their own. Their position was not random. Instead, a certain hair would always try to go backward. The next, always forward. Push one in a certain direction, and it would spring back to the position that it preferred. My attending physician exclaimed “your child has uncombable hair syndrome!” Uncombable hair syndrome is a wellcharacterized medical condition. One can easily find information on the genes involved by turning to Wikipedia, but I strongly urge the reader to go to Google Image instead and type in “uncombable hair syndrome” and enjoy photos of the dandelion capped rascals running around with uncombable hair Several types of hair disorders are sometimes lumped together with uncombable hair syndrome but the classic disease occurs because the hair follicles have a notch or a triangular shape, and so the hair grows out with a ridge or a

groove resulting in a stiff hair that can only fall one way. The Latin name is pili trianguli et canaliculi, which, if you are a Latin scholar, perhaps means something. Children afflicted with this condition are typically towheaded with very light blonde to white hair. To be a syndrome, a disease must have two or more features that occur together as a disease “complex.” In this case, the two primary features are the uncombable hair of the child and the frustration of the mother. Scientists still debate whether the smirking laughter of the father playing on his phone in the background constitutes a third feature of this disease. This would make the syndrome a triad. Fortunately for our patient, his disease has an excellent prognosis. The hair of uncombable hair syndrome typically becomes uncombable early in childhood and normalizes in early adolescence, often at puberty. Our patient was otherwise completely healthy without any signs or markers of other dermatologic disease. Given that our patient is a boy, my attending’s advice was simple: “keep his hair buzzed until he’s about 13 or so.” “So you don’t have any treatment?!” said the mother. “Well, I thought the reassurance that it should normalize in 10-11 years and that you could buzz the hair in the meantime is a good treatment plan,” said my attending. The father laughed. The mother remained frustrated. The child’s hair remained uncombable. Please note that this syndrome should not be confused with the “wont comb his hair” syndrome as displayed by my son, age 2 (see photo). If you or someone you love suffers from uncombable hair syndrome, consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Dr. Brent Taylor is certified by the American Board of Dermatology, the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine and is a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon and vein specialist. Kathryn Filipek, PA-C is a physician assistant with more than 15 years of dermatology experience and expertise in medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology.

Giving thanks with comfort and support for the ones we love Brought to you by — Home Helpers of Alpharetta This year we face many challenges as the holidays approach, especially as we think of our older loved ones in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The care and support they need has never been more crucial, as critical steps to keep them safe like social distancing pose new concerns for isolation and emotional well-being. The issue goes beyond how to connect when a traditional Thanksgiving dinner becomes a concern. It goes to the heart of bringing comfort and support back to everyday living. Respite care can be just as important for family caregivers who find themselves pulled in many directions. With the difficulties posed by changing and remote work situations, in-home or online schooling issues and just obtaining supplies for home and health, providing safe care for those we love is a true gift. You may not have considered inhome care for your older loved one, but it can be a bridge that lets your family once again concentrate on the love you share. Being able to stay safe at home means you need help that is not just up to date on important issues like infection control but looks at the broader picture and can offer solutions before needs become critical. Home Helpers provides a level of Care Management that addresses where you and your loved one are today, and

what we can do to move their best level of quality of life forward. There are five major areas that go into our Integrated Wellness Plan to help your older loved one thrive. They include assessing the safety of their current situation, whether nutrition and hydration needs are being met, what kind of physical activity is being followed, mental health, and the levels of social and emotional support they receive. Our Care Managers provide an elevated level of communication and coordination, becoming a critical link with families as needs arise. Being able to respond quickly and provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and deliver extensive infection control training are just two of the ways our Care Management approach has helped us address the critical issues of COVID-19. From several days a week to 24/7 full time or live in care, a carefully matched heart-centered professional caregiver does more than just provide hands on daily attention to their care. They establish a warm bond that lets your loved one thrive in the safety of their own home. A Home Helpers caregiver has the skills to assist with all personal care, help around the house, safely speed up recovery from surgery, or provide specialized care for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc. We’re here to help. For a free consultation please call Home Helpers of North Atlanta at (678) 430-8511.

Controlled exposure to cold air in the cryotherapy chamber helps to rebuild compromised immune systems and fight off invasive pathogens that cause colds and flu. People suffering from arthritic joint pains and stiffness say their condition worsens during winter months. The Arthritis Foundation recommends cold therapy as one of the most effective methods of pain relief, and studies have shown that cryotherapy reduces inflammation and help manage discomforts associated with the debilitating condition. The risk of slips and falls increase dramatically when there are icy conditions outdoors. Seventy percent of Americans live in snowy regions, and over 1

Should you find yourself with an injury, cryotherapy can impact the the body in several ways including reducing blood flow to an injured area (thereby reducing swelling), acting as an analgesic (numbing agent), reducing muscle spasm, and reducing tissue metabolism. Cryotherapy is a great way to detoxify the body during winter as well. Freezing temperatures put the body in “survival mode”, encouraging the blood supply to flow to the most vital organs to replenish them with more oxygen and nutrients. Once you step out of the cryotherapy chamber, the enriched and less-toxic blood flushes back into the rest of the body, leaving you feeling more energized and invigorated. Book a cryotherapy session this winter and see what a difference it makes to the way you feel – both inside and out. It may just be the pick-me-up you need to beat the gloom and doom of the weather and make the holidays a much healthier and happier season this year!

Blotter:

Absentee ballot in mail discovered on roadside

Continued from Page 2

MILTON, Ga. — Police were dispatched to the home of a Milton man who found a stack of mail on the side of Brittle Road Oct. 26. According to an incident report, the mail included two packages, both empty, as well as an absentee ballot from a Solution

that he couldn’t remove the funds until the following day, the caller told him Milton police would be calling him shortly. While on the phone with the caller, the victim received another call, purportedly from the Milton Police Department, the report indicated. The man said he didn’t answer the phony police call because he didn’t know how to operate call waiting. The caller said he would call back the following morning. But that evening, the victim told his daughter about the incident, and she said it was a scam that he needed to report to the police. When notified, police suggested the victim and his family freeze their credit to avoid false accounts in their names. Investigators said no one from the Milton Police Department called the victim, and the scammers likely used a spoofing app to make the caller ID show up as the police department phone number, according to the report.
