MILTON, Ga. – The Milton Public Works Department and Georgia Department of Trans-portation (GDOT) are planning to widen Ga. 9 from Windward Parkway to the Forsyth County line. This includes Bethany Bend intersection improve-ments, and an open house will be held May 21 to gather feedback on the proposed con-cepts. This public information open house will be held in the City Council chambers of Mil-ton City Hall, 13000 Deerfield Parkway. The open house will
last from 5 to 7 p.m. There will be no formal presentation.
“The meeting will allow the public to view the proposed project, ask questions and comment on the proposals,” said Sara Leaders, transpor-tation engineer for the city of Milton. “We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to let us know your view of the concepts.”
For more information on this or any transportation proj-ect in Milton, contact Leaders at 678-242-2559 or [email protected], or visit Milton’s intersection improve-ments the city website.

MILTON, Ga. – The zom-bie hoards are coming to Cambridge High School this summer, thanks to the efforts of students and teacher Dr. Thomas Washburn.
Last summer, Washburn hosted a CSI camp that al-lowed students to examine the finer points of a crime scene.
This year, it’s zombies.“I remembered the CDC
did a zombie PSA detail-ing disaster preparedness,” Washburn said. “Lots of high school kids think that’s a camp they want to go to.”
As part of the “Zombie Apocalypse Survival Team,” students will learn how dis-eases spread, how to survive in extreme circumstances, debate what the best weapon or vehicle would be in the apocalypse and learn search and rescue operations. They will also have a “Know your
enemy day,” where the kids will be dressed as zombies – complete with gore and guts provided by some of the stu-dents who learned how to do special effects makeup.
“We are going to have fun with it,” Washburn said.
The camps are for teens ages 12-18.
For more information on the zombie camp or the many other educational camps offered by Cambridge dur-ing the summer, visit www.southed.org and click on “camps.”

MILTON, Ga. – Milton High School Principal Clifford Jones announced his resignation last week to take a position as the executive director of account-ability for the Fulton County School System. Taking his place at Milton High School be-ginning July 1 is Nathan Buhl, current principal of Crabapple Middle School.
Jones’ departure came as
a surprise to many Mil-ton parents, many of whom took to social media outlets to discuss the changes to the school and wishing Jones well. Jones leaves after four years as the principal at Milton, but has been at the school since 2001, when he began his career there as a teacher.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Two Alpharetta residents were arrested May 8 after alleg-edly being found in possession of a felony amount of marijuana and several weap-ons.
Police spotted the suspect vehicle at 3 a.m. on Haynes Bridge Road, near North Point Parkway. The officer reports he saw the car hit a curb and then turn into the ring road of North Point Mall, which is closed at that hour. The officer pulled the car over.
Inside were two people, a man and woman. When asked for her ID, the driver said she did not have one, but said she was “Falencia Yates,” and gave a birth-date. A search of that name turned up an-other person. When questioned, the driver admitted her real name was Casha C. Henderson, 24, of Maple Lane, Alpharetta. The owner of the car was the passenger, Phillip Bernard Scott, 24, of the same ad-dress.
The car allegedly smelled of marijuana.
A search turned up a bag containing more than an ounce of pot, a box of baggies and a scale. There were two loaded handguns also on the occupants of the car. Scott had $1,595 in cash on him.
Scott was charged with selling mari-juana and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Henderson was charged with failure to maintain lane, driving on a suspended license, giving a false name to police and possession of marijuana.

money using the stolen driver’s license. She was successful on one occasion and failed an-other. All told, she attempted to steal $8,000 from the owner of the license.
Baum told police she was given the license and car from four men who picked her up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and drove her to the Atlanta area with instruction on how to get the money.
Baum was arrested and charged with two counts of first degree forgery and theft by receiving stolen property.
Fake bills land woman in jail
ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A Powder Springs woman was arrested May 6 for allegedly using sev-eral counterfeit $100 bills at local stores. Police were called to the Kirkland’s at North Point Mall about 4 p.m. after the store said a woman had just attempted to buy a $10 item
using a $100 fake bill. When police arrived, they found the suspect, Mandy Michelle Mul-linax, 32, of Powder Springs. Mullinax said she did not know the money was fake, receiv-ing it that day as change for making another purchase. She claimed she came to the area with her boyfriend and her boyfriend’s brother. She claimed both of them were in the nearby Marshall’s store.
Inside her purse were five additional fake $100 bills, a re-ceipt from a Roswell store and $119 in real currency.
Police checked with Mar-shall’s to find her friends. The store reported they had two men recently try to use fake $100 bills to purchase goods.
Mullinax was arrested for forgery.
Man scammedout of $2KJOHNS CREEK, Ga. – A State Bridge Road resident reported May 7 that he was scammed out of $2,189.
The victim said a man claiming to be with the Inter-nal Revenue Service called and told the victim he owed the
money. It needed to be paid immediately or he would be ar-rested or, worse, deported.
The victim went to several stores to buy “Green Dot” gift cards to pay for the money, since each store only allows up to $1,000 to be purchased at once. After the victim transferred the money to the “IRS,” he called the real IRS to explain his situation. They told him he was scammed.
Two men robbed at gunpointJOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Two men were robbed at gunpoint in Johns Creek May 9.
According to the victims,
they were returning home to their apartment in the Camden Ridge Apartments on State Bridge Road at 12:45 p.m. when three men stopped them on the breezeway of the build-ing. One man had a pistol.
One of the victims ran from the scene and jumped to the ground calling for help. The other victim stayed and said the men hit him on the head and forced him to lie down. This man had cellphones and keys taken from him. The assailants then fled in a gold Chevy Cobalt.
Police arrived and found the Cobalt in a nearby parking lot, abandoned. The car was bought from a Lawrenceville dealership.

NORTH FULTON, Ga. – Three bodies found in or near the Chattahoochee River in the past week created a lot of speculation, however the three deaths appear unconnected, say officials.
A 57-year-old Johns Creek woman was found Saturday, May 3. Two boaters found the body floating in the river near State Bridge Road. The victim was later identified as Gee Hee Kang. Kang was wearing street clothes.
She had no identification, but did possess a key to her
apartment complex mail-box, which allowed police to determine her name.
An autop-sy conducted by the Fulton County Medi-cal Exam-iner’s Office determined she drowned.
How she ended up in the river is still unclear.
“We do not know yet how she ended up in the river,” said Johns Creek Police Spokes-man Lt. Chris Byers, adding, “However there were no signs of trauma on her body what-soever.”
Two days later, May 5, a
man was found in the river near Austell, in Cobb County.
Identified as Perfecto Ochoa Alvarado, 34, his body was found floating on a log near the Fulton County/Cobb County line. Austell police have of-ficially declared it a homicide and are investigating.
Finally, on Sunday, May 11, the most recent victim was found along the banks of the river, on the federal park land in Roswell.
Markiesha Taylor, 20, of Decatur was found about 1:30 p.m. at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area’s Vickery Creek Park, near the intersection of Ga. 9 and Riverside Road.
Roswell Police Spokeswom-an Lisa Holland said the body
was found by a resident walk-ing in the park. It was found along Vickery Creek, which feeds into the Chattahoochee.
“We were initially called out there because somebody found the body,” said Holland.
Because this is federal land, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has become involved and the investigation was turned over to them, Hol-land said.
The FBI was called in to in-vestigate because the body was found on federal park land. However, May 13, the case was handed to Roswell police.
The FBI determined Tay-lor’s body was moved to the park and dropped off.
Cause of death is still un-known.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Kimberly-Clark Corp. announced May 6 that it will be forming a new health care division.
The new company will be called Halyard Health Inc., and will be headquartered in Al-pharetta. It is expected to hire up to 200 new workers in the next two years.
“The planned spin-off of our health care business continues our focus on creating share-holder value.
“When the spin-off is completed, Halyard Health will be able to take advantage of its leading positions in sev-eral key categories to drive its performance and pursue
its own opportunities,” said Kimberly-Clark Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Thomas J. Falk. “This move will also allow Kimberly-Clark to further sharpen our focus on growing our consumer and K-C pro-fessional brands around the world.”
Once the planned spin-off is completed later this year, Halyard Health will be a stand-alone public company and is expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company generates approximately $1.7 billion in annual net sales, has leading market positions in both surgi-cal and infection prevention
products and medical devices and employs approximately 16,500 employees.
Kimberly-Clark already has
a large presence in Roswell. For more information, visit the company online at www.kimberly-clark.com.

ATLANTA — Gov. Nathan Deal signed Senate Bill 298 into law on April 24, updating several sections of regulations for the Department of Driver Services including a new way for a person with a disability to get access to special parking services.
It allows a doctor’s state-ment to replace a signed, notarized affidavit as proof for someone to obtain a special parking decal or placard when a notary public is not present in the doctor’s office.
“It is important that Georgians who need access to special parking spaces have a simple way of getting them,” said Sen. Jack Murphy (R-Cumming), the bill’s sponsor.
“This streamlined process removes an obstacle and saves potential headaches.”
To apply for a disabled per-son’s parking decal or placard, take a notarized MV-9D form or signed doctor’s statement to the local county tag office.
The bill also allows volun-teer firefighters to apply for or renew a driver’s license with-out having to pay a fee.
If the firefighter brings a current copy of his or her cer-tification and a letter from the chief executive officer of the official entity that operates the fire department on company letterhead, there will not be the normal $20 processing fee for the application or renewal.
“Volunteer firefighters will-ingly put themselves in harm’s way to make Georgia a safer place to live,” said Murphy. “This is a small gesture from the state to say thank you for their outstanding service and
sacrifice.” This portion of the law will go into effect starting

MILTON, Ga. – Horses are a way of life in Milton. It seems on nearly every road there are horse farms and barns, with equines grazing in the fields or riders galloping in riding rings.
For many years, the Al-pharetta Rodeo was a perfect place to host some of the talents of the region’s best Western riders at the Wills Park Equestrian Center. Over 15,000 riders took part in it. In 2005, in its 20th year, the rodeo closed its doors.
Now the Milton Saddle Club and its president Kathy Cobb want to bring it back.
“It was a huge deal,” Cobb said of the rodeo.
Team ropers, calf ropers, bull riders, pole benders and all manner of riders took part in the rodeo every year, paying homage to the Wild West and Western riding. There was even a rodeo pageant, for girls to show off not only style, but rid-ing skills.
“It is the cowboy way of rid-ing,” Cobb said.
Despite focusing on West-ern riding – as opposed to the more common English riding style – Cobb said she and the Milton Saddle Club want to welcome all styles of riders.
“We want to unite equine of all disciplines at the Milton Saddle Club,” she said. “Every-body is welcome. The impor-tant thing is a love of horses. We want to celebrate riding.”
Calling herself the “Queen of Western riding,” Cobb has trained horses and their riders
for 27 years. She started the North Fulton 4H horse club in 1993 and was training riders
in the Milton area not only before Milton, but before other horse farms.
“Nobody else did horse camps in those days,” she said.
She has the pedigree and the goal, now Cobb simply needs to make it happen.
Forgoing the arenas of Wills Park, Cobb instead wants to have the rodeo at Shannondale Farms, in Milton.
“They have agreed to host it, but we still need to raise money to hold the rodeo,” Cobb said.
Specifically, she said the Saddle Club needs to raise $30,000 by the spring of next year.
“There is a very strong and vibrant horse community in Al-pharetta and Milton,” she said.
Milton Saddle Club is put-ting together an inaugural trail ride in June. The exact date is to be determined. Con-tact Cobb or Roger Brown of Brownwood Farms at 770-369-2733.
For more on Cobb and the Milton Saddle Club, call 770-369-2733 or visit the Milton Saddle Club Facebook page.
Kathy Cobb and her horse Lucy ride at the last Alpharetta Rodeo in 2005. She is trying to resur-rect the rodeo in Milton, but needs funds to do so.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The concept is unique – order from over 50 wines and sip them by the ounce, half glass, full glass or bottle.
Sip Wine and Tapas Bar, the unique Milton wine bar/restaurant has opened a sec-ond location.
On May 14, Sip Wine and Tapas opened at the Collection at Forsyth shopping center, 440 Peachtree Parkway in Cumming.
Owner Foster Smith, a New Orleans transplant, said he and his family really enjoy the community in Forsyth and had been eyeing a new location for a while.
Called Sip at the Collection at Forsyth, the elegant and rustic setting with both indoor and outdoor dining will host company events, weddings and of course, a dining experience.
“Everyone loves the quality of food,” Smith said. “It’s not an afterthought. It’s primary to the business. And, the auto-mated wine machines, which allow you to taste just a sip (one ounce) or more.”
The 120-seat dining area features a large exposed brick wall and copper-topped bar.
The lounge is an intimate clustered seating area with chandeliers, wood paneling and hand-painted walls.
There is also ample outdoor seating under a pergola that sits 30 now, but will double in the coming months, Smith said.
The Forsyth location offers a unique self-serve wine set up that enhances the Milton location.
Smith said there will be a “symbiosis” between the two,
as “one will feed off the other.”Guests may buy a gift card
in any denomination to use the entertaining system.
Insert a Sip gift card into the wine machine and the wine is dispensed – immediately.
The wine case stores 64 wines – 24 whites and 40 reds, Smith said.
Guests can choose a one-, three- or six-ounce pour of each wine.
“It’s a really fun way to try out wines,” Smith said.
Weekly wine tastings, plus multi-course wine pair-ing events will feature excit-ing wineries and engage new customers in the Cumming location, Smith said.
This self-serve wine set up is also accommodating for special events as it allows the host to offer each guest a finite amount to spend with the use of a personalized gift card, he said.
Sip’s food is called tapas, quite literally “tops.” This food style began in the Jerez region of Spain, which is also the birthplace of sherry. Patrons would place their “bar food”
plates on top of their glasses to keep the flies out of the sweet sherry.
The small plates of food became known as tapas.
Sip Wine and Tapas will serve brunch, lunch and din-ner seven days a week. A few of their unique dinner tapas menu items are Buratta in a Jar with creamy mozzarella, fig jam and crostini, Grilled Shrimp and Grits with white cheddar, tasso cream and mill grits and Blackened Ahi Tuna with Asian pear, chick pea salad and blood orange gas-trique.
Sip uses sea-sonal ingredi-ents to prepare their “global” cuisine.
Chef Greg DeMichiel, one of the featured chefs on the premier season of the Food Network’s “Cut Throat Kitch-en,” will take the reins for the Cumming location.
“I thoroughly enjoy the challenge and creativity re-quired to craft an entire menu with unique ingredients that are exclusive to typically only
one dish,” DeMichiel said. The menu includes 28
items, and that doesn’t include dessert.
Sip Wine and Tapas Bar has also set its eyes on open-ing locations in Baltimore, Maryland and Arlington, Virginia.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Perimeter Church is initiating the Mental Health First Aid program in Al-pharetta, Johns Creek, Roswell and Milton. Perimeter Church will train hundreds of profes-sionals and gatekeepers work-ing in foster care, adoption, so-cial service, law enforcement, veteran organizations and other members of the public to improve mental health literacy – helping them identify, under-stand and respond to signs of mental illness.
“We are thrilled to bring Mental Health First Aid to our community,” said Marti Vogt. “This important educational effort goes a lot further than emergency intervention; it re-ally helps people understand the shroud of fear and mis-judgment facing individuals and families who experience mental illnesses and addiction. It will help rid this community of the associated stigma and move more and more people toward recovery.”
Mental Health First Aid is an eight-hour training certi-fication course that teaches
participants a five-step action plan to assess a situation, select and implement interven-tions and secure appropriate care for the individual. The certification program intro-duces participants to risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems, builds understanding of their impact and overviews common treat-ments. Thorough evaluations in randomized controlled trials and a quantitative study have proved the CPR-like program effective in improving trainees’ knowledge of mental disorders, reducing stigma and increasing the amount of help provided to others.
“We welcome Marti Vogt’s involvement and enthusiasm in the Mental Health First Aid community,” said Linda Rosenberg, president and chief executive officer of the National Council for Behavioral Health, the organization that brought Mental Health First Aid to the United States in 2008.
“We know they will have a great impact on the mental health communities through-
out [the area], and will be key players in improving mental health literacy nationwide,” Rosenberg said.
In its pilot year, the pro-gram was introduced in nearly 20 states and more than 40 communities nationwide. The National Council certified Vogt to provide the Mental Health First Aid program in October 2010 through an instructor certification course in Atlanta, and all the sites across the na-tion that replicate this program maintain strict fidelity to the original, proven program.
Mental Health First Aid originated in 2001 in Australia under the direction of found-ers Betty Kitchener and Tony Jorm. To date, it has been replicated in 20 other coun-tries worldwide, including Hong Kong, Scotland, England, Canada, Finland and Singa-pore.
For more information or to participate in a Mental Health First Aid training in Johns Creek on June 21, contact Pe-rimeter Church, 9500 Medlock Bridge Road.
This eight-hour course pro-vides tools needed to identify a mental health crisis until professional help is available.

MCDONOUGH, Ga. – The King’s Ridge Tigers swept No. 1-ranked Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy 11-3 and 7-2 last week to advance to the finals of the state Class A private school baseball finals.
The Tigers, the No. 5 seed in the 16-team bracket, played a doubleheader at No. 2 Mount Paran Christian last Satur-day, May 17, for the state title, with a third game if necessary scheduled for Monday.
Brandt Stallings drove in seven runs in the double-header against ELCA to power the Tigers (26-4), who also got strong pitching efforts from Connor Burns and Austin Hig-ginbotham.
Stallings had three hits, two of them home runs, and four RBI in the opener. Burns contributed two hits and Cullen Monette and Grayson Byrd drove in two runs each. Stallings’ first homer helped lift
the Tigers to a 3-0 lead before ELCA came to bat. The Char-gers rallied with three runs in the third to tie the game, but King’s Ridge responded with eight runs over the final four innings, finishing with 13 hits.
Burns pitched a complete game, allowing seven hits and two walks and striking out 12.
The Tigers had three two-run innings in the second game to take a 7-0 lead before the Chargers scored their only two runs in the sixth. Higgin-botham also pitched a com-plete game, allowing five hits and striking out five.
Stallings drove in three runs for the Tigers. Lawson Hill connected for a two-run homer, and Monette and Slade Osborne added two hits each.
Eagle’s Landing was 28-1 coming into the semifinal se-ries, winning 28 straight games after losing its season opener.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – The Johns Creek Gladiators ad-vanced to the quarterfinals of the Class AAAAAA state base-ball playoffs, defeating Lassiter 7-4 and 13-7 in a doublehead-er last week, May 7.
Johns Creek (20-11) was scheduled to host Valdosta in the quarterfinals, with a doubleheader scheduled for Tuesday and a third game if necessary on Wednesday. The winner of that series will play at the winner of the Milton-Kennesaw Mountain series, beginning with a doubleheader Monday.
Lassiter, which went 11-15 during the regular season, had knocked off Region 7 cham-pion Mountain View in the first round on a pair of shutouts, but the Gladiators put up 20 runs in their two wins.
In the opener, Johns Creek scored in five of six innings, taking a 5-0 lead after five in-nings. Charlie Hecht pitched a complete game to get the win, scattering nine hits and allow-ing just two earned runs.
Cody Hardage led the
Gladiators’ 10-hit attack with an RBI single in the first inning, a sacrifice fly in the fourth and a solo homer in the sixth.
Chase Solo-mon had two hits, scored a
run and drove in one. Tyler Dupree went 2-for-2 with an RBI, and Noah Wilmot had two hits to start scoring rallies.
Lassiter scored twice in the bottom of the sixth in the sec-ond game to take a 6-4 lead,
but the Gladiators scored nine runs in the seventh to more than erase their deficit.
Freshman Jared Miha-lik started the winning rally with a hit, followed by singles by Bradley Flink and Tyler Prescott.
Hardage singled to cut Las-siter’s lead to one, and after the Gladiators tied the game on a groundout, Solomon delivered a three-run triple to break it open.
Ross Funke, Mihalik, Cam-eron Moore and Zach Gorowitz added hits later in the inning as the Gladiators expanded
their lead. Solomon went 3-for-3 with a solo homer and drove in four runs, and Prescott had two hits and an RBI. Prescott also went the first four innings on the mound, allowing three hits and three earned runs.
Nicholas Radivoi got the win in relief, yielding two earned runs over the final three innings.
Valdosta (22-8) finished third in Region 1 and defeated Newnan and McEachern in the first two rounds, needing a 6-5 victory in game three against Newnan to get past the open-ing round.

ROSWELL, Ga. – For the sixth year, Roswell Rotary Club held “Honor Air” April 2, where 60 veterans from World War II, Korea and Vietnam were flown to Washington, D.C. to see the war memorials and Arlington Cemetery.
At the weekly Roswell Rotary meeting May 15, the military men and women who went on the trip had a chance to talk about what happened and thank the Rotarians.
“It never ceases to amaze me, the gratitude these men
and women give back to the club,” said Gene Beckham, one of the organizers of the event. “But I have to say, ‘Guys, it’s about you. This is us saying thank you.’”
Beckham said the trip was a large undertaking, with 150 people involved, plus members of the Roswell police and fire departments who provided an escort and farewell, respec-tively.
Each year, Honor Air flies veterans to the capital for free, spending a day touring the monuments.
Each step along the way, senators, officials and well-
wishers stop the group to thank them for their service and contribution to the coun-try.
“They are the greatest gen-eration who literally saved the world,” said Sen. John Albers (R-56). “I hope you continue to do this Honor Air flight for years to come,” said Jim Hen-son, a veteran, as he thanked the club.
“There were 296 students who graduated from Tech High School [an all-boys’ school in Atlanta]. Of those, 292 volun-teered the day they graduated high school,” said Henson. “Can you imagine that happen-
ing now?”One Korean War veteran
thanked the Rotary Club, say-ing the recognition given him during the trip was the only recognition he has ever re-ceived for serving his country.
“It was a very special occa-sion to go to Washington,” said veteran Hank Sturgess.
Len Seal was only 17 when he volunteered for the military
for WWII, ending up at the Charleston Navy Yard Hospi-tal, where he served as a staff corpsman in the surgery ward.
“The experience I had there, it gives me a lot of pleasure to think of all the people I helped,” Seal said. “Thank God for the Roswell Rotary.”

ATLANTA – On April 23, Gov. Nathan Deal signed into law House Bill 60, otherwise known as the “Safe Carry Protection Act of 2014.” This is undoubtedly one of the most sweeping firearms legislation changes in Georgia to date.
H.B. 60 was passed with strong majorities in both the House and the Senate, and will take effect July 1.
The day prior to the bill be-ing signed, a Georgia firearms permit holder was observed with an exposed holstered pis-tol in a Forsyth County park. The park contained a large number of children participat-ing in sporting events as well as their parents and guests.
Although the permit holder was exercising his legal right to carry a firearm in a county park and not found to be doing anything illegal, the confusion surrounding his actions gener-ated a great deal of concern by community members and others routinely attending park events.
The recent changes in fire-arms legislation brought about by H.B. 60 will affect how law enforcement professionals interact with people choosing to exercise their right to legally carry firearms and other weap-ons in public places, including our city parks and recreational facilities.
We hope to address some common questions and mis-conceptions about current fire-arms legislation and the recent changes brought about by H.B. 60, with specific emphasis on legislative aspects directly af-fecting Alpharetta parks and recreation users. What is a Georgia weapons carry license?
In general, to carry a hand-gun either openly or concealed in Georgia (other than on their property or inside their home, car or place of business), or a knife designed for offense and defense with a blade length of over 5 inches, a person must possess a valid Georgia weap-ons carry license. There are exceptions, such as for exempt people employed as peace offi-cers, district attorneys, judges, wardens and people in the military service of the state or of the United States.What if I possess a weapons carry license or permit from another state?
Georgia law also recog-nizes the weapons licenses of Georgia non-residents for which Georgia has a reciprocal relationship with their home state. These weapons license permit holders must abide by the weapons laws of Georgia when they are in Georgia. Can someone with a weap-ons license walk around Alpharetta parks or recre-ational areas with an openly carried firearm?
Georgia law does not pro-hibit weapons license hold-ers from possessing firearms or other weapons in city or county parks.
Provided that they are not engaged in some other ille-gal activity within the park, a person with a weapons license can visit an Alpharetta park while exercising their right to bear arms in either an open or concealed fashion. Isn’t a person with a weap-ons license supposed to carry their weapon in a hol-ster, concealed from view? Especially in a public park where there may be children present?
In Georgia, weapons license holders may carry any weapon openly or concealed in any non-prohibited location in ac-cordance with Georgia law.
Although it is a good idea to
do so, there is no legal require-ment for weapons to be carried in any type of holster. Suppose I see an openly armed person walking along a trail at Webb Bridge Park. Since I have no idea if they have a weapons license, or whether they are a convicted felon, can I request that the police respond to check this person out?
It goes without saying that the safety and security of Alpharetta residents and visi-tors is of paramount concern to us. That being understood, Georgia law maintains that law-abiding Georgia residents and non-residents possess-
ing weapons licenses have the right to freely visit locations in our state, while armed, that are not deemed off-limits by state or federal law.
While the law clearly states that weapons license holders shall have their valid weapons carry license in their immedi-ate possession at all times when carrying a weapon, this does not mean that law en-forcement can detain an armed person (such that they are not free to leave) simply to check whether they are in compliance with this requirement.

MILTON, Ga. – The defending state champion Milton Eagles swept their third straight baseball playoffs series, defeat-ing Kennesaw Mountain 5-4 and 9-5 last week to reach the Class AAAAAA semifinals.
The Eagles hosted North Fulton opponent Johns Creek on Monday, May 19, with a third game if necessary sched-uled for Tuesday.
The winner advances to the finals against Lambert or Parkview, with Milton the home team if the Eagles defeat Johns Creek.
Milton (25-7) won both games against Kennesaw Mountain in its final at bat. Af-ter the Mustangs tied the first game 4-4 with a run in the top of the seventh, the Eagles scored in the bottom of the in-ning on a game-winning hit by Jack Thompson.
The Eagles trailed 5-4 after six innings in the second game, but scored five runs in the top of the seventh on six hits to complete the sweep.
Milton jumped out to a 3-0 lead after three innings in the opener. Dylan Cease singled in a run in the first, and Dalton Ewing’s RBI-double keyed a two-run third. But the Mus-tangs, limited to one hit the first five innings by Milton starter Matt Geiger, tied the game on a three-run homer in the sixth.
The Eagles regained the lead in the bottom of the in-ning on hits by Clayton Vaught and Steven Curry. But the Mustangs again tied it on a solo homer in the seventh off reliever Will Matthews, who wound up with the win when the Eagles scored in the bot-
tom of the inning. Curry belted a two-run
homer in the second inning of game two as Milton again took an early 3-0 lead. The Mustangs scored three runs in the third and two in the fifth against Milton ace Alex Schnell, with all five runs un-earned.
Ryan Gridley, who had three of Milton’s 17 hits, singled and scored as the Eagles went ahead 4-3 with a run in the fourth before Ken-nesaw Mountain (24-8) took its first lead of the series with two
unearned runs in the fifth. Schnell pitched a complete
game, allowing four hits and five walks with seven strike-outs, and got the victory when the Eagles erupted with a string of hits in the seventh.
Ewing and Thompson start-ed the inning with singles, and Dalon Farkas tied the game on an RBI single. Vaught followed with the key hit of the game, a two-run triple that snapped the 5-5 tie. Curry’s third hit of the game drove in a run and Gridley added his third hit to lead to the final Milton run.

I realized that while I was in downstream management, what I am is a retailer. I had the skills, the knowledge and the passion to do what I wanted.
Sponsored by
By HATCHER [email protected]
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – For the 300-plus women at the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Com-merce’s second annual Women in Business luncheon, it was a one-hour tutorial on what women must do to take charge of their careers.
The May 7 luncheon at the Atlanta Athletic Club heard Janet Sherlock, chief infor-mation officer and a senior vice president at Carter’s, the market leader for purveying children’s clothes and acces-sories, explain how she more or less stumbled upon the im-portant lessons that led her to become one of the top national executives.
She did not have many female mentors along the way, because the higher she rose, the fewer women she found in the rarified air of the corporate boardroom.
Her career has been mostly in supply chain management, including a 10-year stint at Mobil Oil.
“I had a degree in sup-ply management, and a job opened up at Mobil for me. Very quickly, I inherited 1,000 gas-convenience stores after a merger,” Sherlock said.
“When my boss was leav-ing, he was part of the recruit-ing team,” she said. “When he asked me if I would be apply-ing for the position, I told him
yes, and that I could do a bet-ter job than he did.”
It was that kind of chutz-pah that helped get her the job – and with the recommenda-tion of her former boss.
However, she had a shock in 1997 when she was resign-ing to take a new job to find that she was the third-highest ranking woman executive in supply. She thought it “pathet-ic” that so few women had high management positions.
As Sherlock looked back on her career, she began to realize why there were so few women as the distance to “the top” narrowed.
“I realized my career was happening to me,” she said.
She began to assess her skills and her desires so that she could be shaper of her own destiny.
“I realized that while I was in downstream manage-ment, what I am is a retailer. I had the skills, the knowledge and the passion to do what I wanted,” Sherlock said.
In her career, she has found as the executives make their way up the corporate lad-der, women drop out.
Sherlock noted 56 percent of women in her career drop out, while less than half of men do.
Yet the talent pool is not great enough to meet corporate needs without women. Mid- to upper management suffers from a lack of innovation, inef-
ficient leadership and stymied competitiveness, and is losing the “war” in leadership.
If half the population opts out of the talent pool in their 30s, what is the cause?
Sherlock said women do a poor job in important areas that can be summed up as selling oneself. Women have to know what skills they need and how to acquire those skills.
That is just the start. They have to then be able to demon-strate those skills. Then, they must develop a “career brand,” in which they demonstrate a willingness to pursue ever higher jobs.
Most posts do not seek out leaders, and applicants must pursue the job.
“A career is not a ladder. It is more like a jungle gym. You have to articulate yourself and your skills,” she said.
In other words, it is not enough to be good at what you do. People have to know you’re good.
Sherlock has advice that crosses gender lines in career planning:
You don’t necessarily need a “career path.” Rather, con-tinually take inventory on what drives career satisfaction.
Get exposure to different roles, careers and experiences. The path will become more evident. And choose your own path. “Own it,” she said. “It’s not the boss’s decision.”
The biggest stumbling block for women in business is confidence. They worry if they won’t be liked if they are assertive. Also, studies show
men overestimate their abilities to perform. Women underesti-mate them.
Women tend to apply for a position only if they have mas-tered 100 percent of the skills necessary. Men will apply if they possess only 50 percent.
“The natural result of low confidence is inaction. Men don’t let doubt stop them as much as women,” Sherlock said. “There is a confidence gap in all of us.”
Other observations are:Women get caught up in
trying to “balance” work and family. “Why is parenting not a two-person job?” she asked.
Women are often disadvan-taged for taking time out to have children. Nevertheless, they should know what the market value is for their skills when negotiating salary.
Finally, Sherlock says not to worry about “having it all.” It’s impossible.

ROSWELL, Ga. – Roswell is home to many things, and now it is home to some of the only Platinum LEED-certified homes in the state.
Weatherford Place, off Min-hinette Drive close to historic Roswell, is a cluster of eight homes built by developer Cad-mus Construction. Each home is constructed to the high-est Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, which includes energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact.
The benefits of a LEED
house are plenty, said Matthew Anthony, with Southface, an Atlanta-based company that advises on sustainable prac-tices for both commercial and residential projects.
“It’s a huge benefit,” An-thony said. “Using locally pro-duced products helps the local economy. Energy efficiency and water conservation helps re-duce the need on our national infrastructure for energy.”
Each home is equipped with a 1,500-gallon water cistern for collecting and stor-ing water for use around the home and property. The roads are made of a pervious mate-rial that allows rain water to seep into the cisterns as well, further reducing the need for water by up to 70 percent, said Denise Donahue, with Cadmus Construction.
“Water is our most trea-
sured, although not well respected, and fought-over resource, especially here in our tri-state region, and along with energy, our biggest supply and demand challenge,” Donahue said.
Solar energy and geother-mal energy are also used to help lower, or in some cases eliminate utility fees.
The homes of Weatherford Place also incorporated materi-als from the old homestead that once sat on the land, reducing the amount of materi-als needed in the construction, a key aspect of attaining the LEED Platinum status.
“These homes show you can be LEED certified and still compete with conventional home costs,” Anthony said. “This helps push the market.”

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – After much hype, the new golfing entertainment venue Topgolf opened May 20 to excited golf-ers.
Employing about 450
people, the 60,000-square-foot location sits on 12 acres along-side Westside Parkway and boasts 102 golfing bays that allow golfers to hit balls into a large open field filled with multi-colored rings. Each spe-cial golf ball has a microchip inside that tracks it and scores
the player, turning the game of golf into more of a game and making it open to more casual golfers.
“We introduce more people to the game of golf than any other entity,” said Brian Harp-er, Topgolf’s director of sales.
The Alpharetta location is the company’s first foray into the Southeast. They have other locations throughout the
country.“It’s going to be an amaz-
ing summer at Topgolf,” said Topgolf Alpharetta Director of Operations Bob Dodson. “We will be hosting golf tour-naments, daytime clinics for kids, Monday evening leagues, themed costume parties and live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night on our rooftop terrace.
Even if you don’t play golf,
there will be no shortage of things to do at Topgolf.”
Topgolf estimates that it will serve 450,000 visitors in Alpharetta in its first year of operation, with a 10-year eco-nomic output in excess of $264 million.
Topgolf Alpharetta is locat-ed at 10900 Westside Parkway off Ga. 400 in Alpharetta. For more information, visit www.topgolf.com/alpharetta.
Topgolf opened May 20. It aims to be an entertainment center for all golfers – both casual and professional. Topgolf Alpharetta opens doors, fairways

HEALTH » New heart disease test offered in SuwaneeSUWANEE, Ga. — When a patient complains about
chest discomfort, primary care doctors face the difficult task of determining if a serious condition like coronary artery disease (CAD) is to blame, or if it is a less serious condition like indigestion that can easily be treated with over-the-counter medications or a change in diet.
Studies have shown that only 10 percent of patients who visit their primary care doctor with chest pain have a cardiac cause for their symptoms.
It’s a challenge that Dr. Lee Herman of Johns Creek Primary Care in Suwanee faces on a regular basis.
“As a doctor, you’re really stuck between a rock and a hard place,” said Herman.
“If you don’t take the patient’s symptoms seri-ously, you could be missing a very dangerous heart condition.
On the other hand, if you’re too aggressive, you might end up sending someone who has a simple case of heartburn to get a cardiovascular test that involves radiation exposure.”
There is now a new option to safely and accu-rately help primary care doctors and cardiologists determine whether or not a patient’s symptoms are due to obstructive CAD.
It’s a convenient blood test called Corus CAD.Herman and his staff have been conducting
research examining Corus CAD’s ability to help doctors make decisions about which patients need to be sent to a cardiologist for testing and which patients are at low risk for obstructive CAD.
Corus CAD helped doctors change their clinical decisions for 58 percent of patients.
To learn more about Corus CAD, visit www.CardioDx.com.

Are you planning on tak-ing a well-deserved vacation this summer?
Have you got everything arranged so that while you’re away your small business will operate effectively, even if you’re not there?
Taking some time off to recharge your batteries is not only a good idea, but also a smart idea.
Most small business own-ers typically work a seven-day week.
While they may not be working every hour, they most likely are thinking about their small business.
What is planned for next week, how to get the next customer, hiring decisions and hundreds of other things, day-after-day, week-after-week and month-after-month, this can all add up.
While taking some time off may be counter-intuitive thinking for a small business owner who works 24/7, it’s a necessity to avoid burnout, stress and health issues.
Most small business own-ers will tell you that if they are on vacation, they can’t stop thinking about their business.
That’s OK. Some of the best new business ideas have been formulated from a beach
chair or during a round of golf. Just because you are on vacation doesn’t mean you can’t do some valuable things for your business.
Taking some time off doesn’t have to be a lavish two-week vacation.
It could be just a bunchof three- or four-day week-ends.
While most people think of vacations as traveling somewhere, you actually can take time off without leaving your home.
As a hard working small business owner, there is no better time than the upcom-ing summer months to take some time off.
You may just come up with a great idea while hav-ing an umbrella drink on the beach that skyrockets your sales.
Take some time off — it’s good for you

Milan Eye Center is excited to announce the arrival of Dr. Kiran Sajja, a Board-Certified ophthalmologist specializing in functional and cosmetic eyelid and facial surgery. Dr. Sajja has a unique blend of experience, compassion and artistry that he shares with each and every patient. With the addition of Dr. Sajja, Milan Eye Center will expand the unsurpassed level of care and services provided to the Atlanta community.
Dr. Sajja cares for patients with a wide variety of condi-tions, including eyelid droopi-ness, eyelid bagginess, and tearing.
Eyelid ptosis or “eyelid droopiness” is most often related to stretching or de-tachment of the muscle used to open your eyes. Over time, this condition can interfere with your vision resulting in a decreased field of view or overall dimming of your vision. Common complaints often include needing more light to read, difficulty driving, and headaches. Eyelid ptosis is often associated with a tired or disinterested appearance. This condition can be corrected with a quick, minimally-invasive outpatient surgical procedure which is often covered by your medical insurance.
Eyelid dermatochalasis or “eyelid bagginess” is related to stretching and thinning of the eyelid skin. This often affects both the upper and lower eyelids giving a puffy or wrinkled appearance. At times, the excess skin can rest on or over your eyelashes interfer-ing with your vision. Other common complaints include eyelid redness or itchiness, tearing, or headache. Women
often note difficulty applying and maintaining eye make-up, such as mascara, eyeliner or eye shadow. This condition can be significantly improved with an easy outpatient surgical procedure. An evaluation with Dr. Sajja would determine if the procedure is covered by your medical insurance.
Tearing or “watery eyes” can be separated into two main issues: producing too many tears or not effectively drain-ing the tears away. Common complaints include blurred vision, itchiness, redness and discharge. During an evalu-ation with Dr. Sajja, he will perform a comprehensive examination of your eyes and your tear drainage system to determine the possible causes of your watery eyes. Based on your symptoms and examina-tion, Dr. Sajja will discuss a treatment regimen including diet, medication and surgical intervention. Many procedures are performed in the office with little to no down time; and are often covered by your medical
insurance.In addition, Dr. Sajja has
considerable experience in cos-metic concerns of the eyelids and face employing advanced surgical techniques and facial injectibles, such as Botox®, Juvederm® XC, Belotero®, and Restylane®. Dr. Sajja will perform a detailed evaluation
and provide recommendations to allow you to achieve a bal-anced, youthful and energetic appearance.
Dr. Sajja will be joining Milan Eye Center on June 9th. Call 678-688-4575 for more information on Dr. Sajja and his procedures.
Milan Eye Center has four
convenient locations around Atlanta: Johns Creek, Cum-ming, Canton, and Buford. Milan Eye Center is a premier ophthalmology practice and is affiliated with Atlanta’s finest hospitals including Northside Forsyth, Northside Cherokee, and Emory Johns Creek Hos-pital.

Many of us may remember a time when we could wake up feeling sick, call our doctor and be seen that day. At that appointment, we could explain our complaint and concerns without feeling rushed.
We would leave the office feeling taken care of and with a clear plan for getting better.
Nowadays, if we wake up feeling sick and call our doctor we can be told that there is no availability. We then go to a walk-in clinic where we might receive the care we need but
the personal attention is miss-ing.
Many aspects of healthcare have changed, but the quality of care and the doctor-patient relationship should not be one of them.

An elegant woman with a thick French accent, Taylor’s warm, wel-coming manner makes the small café feel like home.
Collet French Pastry and Café is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Customers begin ar-riving as the sun rises to grab a warm chocolate croissant for breakfast. Then comes the lunch rush. Later in the afternoon, businessmen, students or groups of mothers with young children arrive to chat over pastries and coffee. Others stop in for a bite after work or to pick up a cake for an evening party.
Though the hours are long, Taylor can be found behind the counter all day every day, greeting her regulars by name and getting to know new cus-tomers. She loves children and babies, and enjoys speaking with high school students who wish to practice their French.
Don’t expect service in a rush. Remember, in France, people like to linger over their meals, talking and sa-voring the atmosphere. That’s just how Taylor likes it.
“I want this to be a place where people feel at home and linger for hours. Some people bring their kids here every Sunday afternoon. My customers may be American or from Europe, Japan or Argentina, but they all come to this café because they have some connection to or fond memories of France,” said Taylor.
Those who have visited a boulange-rie-patisserie in France will recog-nize many specialties including the croque-monsieur, a grilled ham and Swiss cheese sandwich with béchamel (white sauce). Or the delicious pate en croute, a meat pie with a mixture of pork and veal marinated in white wine and herbs and baked inside puff pas-try. Taylor says this recipe hails from the Champagne area of France where her grandmother grew up.
Other lunch items include soups, salads, a variety of Panini, light and flaky ham and cheese croissants and quiches containing spinach and goat cheese, chicken and mushroom or ham and cheese, all under $10.
Make sure to save room for des-serts from the mouth-watering pastry case. Fruit or mousse tarts, chocolate éclairs, macaroons and Viennoiserie (puff pastries) all beckon – almost too pretty to eat. Especially stunning is the beautiful Matignon flourless
chocolate cake, which also comes in an individual serving size.
Which is Taylor’s favorite? “Pastry goes with your mood, so
it changes daily,” she admitted. “But I tend to go for anything with choco-late.”
Taylor grew up in northern France, and it was there she opened her first pastry shop with then-husband Francois Collet. After their divorce, Taylor moved with her son to the United States in 1985 to work for world-famous chef Gaston Lenôtre at a pastry shop in the French pavilion at Walt Disney World’s Epcot theme park. Lenôtre, incidentally, was report-edly the inspiration for the character Gusteau in the 2007 animated film “Ratatouille.” A photo of Lenôtre hangs on the wall in the café.
Taylor’s culinary career took her all over the United States, including time
spent as an instructor at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Min-nesota and in Georgia.
Francois Collet also moved to America and founded a successful wholesale business in the Atlanta area, supplying French pastries to high-end hotels and restaurants.
Now, Taylor and Collet have teamed up once more to open Collet French Pastry and Café. Collet sup-plies the pastries, while Taylor has the fun of finally running her “own little
place.” “When I opened my doors in
November of 2013, customers were thanking me for bringing a French café to Alpharetta, but I felt like I should be thanking them instead,” she said. “This is a dream come true for me.”

Are you ready for Summer? Is your car too?By RICK HUNTERVP Sales & Operations Wood & Fullerton woodfullerton.com
Where will your car take you this summer? Not only is it part of your daily routine (work, shopping, soccer games, ballet, etc….) but it will prob-ably take you out to dinner, the mountains or maybe even the beach for the weekend. All of those miles in the summer heat will take a toll on your car. The best way to make sure your car is ready for trouble free driving for all of your sum-mer fun is a complete inspec-tion and a little preventative maintenance.
The inspection should in-clude the following:
Battery: Verify the battery still has enough reserve power to start on a hot day. The bat-tery terminals should also be checked for signs of corrosion and cleaned/treated or re-placed as necessary.
Belts and Hoses: All belts and hoses should be checked
for crack-ing, splitting, brittle areas, soft spots or leaking. Hoses typi-cally fail from the inside, so it is critical that a quali-fied technician
performs the inspection. You can’t always tell the internal condition of a hose by just looking. If a belt or hose fails while you’re driving it could leave you stranded, or even worse, cause expensive engine damage.
Brakes: Sure it’s im-portant that your car runs down the road, but it’s even more important that it stops properly. A complete brake inspection would start with a test drive while listening and feeling for any unusual sounds or pulsations or pulling to one side while braking. Once in the shop, the technician will remove the wheels to verify the condition of the brake pads
and/or shoes as well as all of the other brake components and hardware. The drums and/or rotors should also be measured and compared to the specification for your car.
Fluids: The fluids are the lifeblood of your car. Fluids should be replaced based on
the manufacturer’s schedule, or when proper testing meth-ods determine that the fluid is at the end of it’s useful life. The typical fluids in your car to be checked may be: Transmis-sion Fluid, Brake Fluid, Power Steering Fluid, Differential Fluid and Coolant.
Filters: Have filters re-placed as recommended. They keep your engine, fuel system and cabin clean.
Lights/Wiperblades: Be ready for that “Dark and Stormy” night by making sure all lights are working properly, and you have a fresh set of wiperblades.
Tires: Tires need to be inspected for punctures and abrasions as well as the amount of tread remaining and any abnormal wear patterns. Always keep tires inflated to the recommended PSI.
Shocks/Struts: The shocks and struts have two main jobs. The first is to provide a smooth comfortable ride on all types of roads.
The second is to keep the tires firmly on the road for proper braking and handling.
Remember: performing the recommended maintenance to-day may prevent costly repairs down the road, so that the only thing you have to worry about this summer is kids having enough sunscreen.

on giving doctors and patients more time together.
This time allows the doc-tors to listen and develop a personal relationship with their patients.
This caliber of care is delivered within the concierge
model. In this type of medical practice patients pay an an-nual fee that guarantees them more time with their physician.
This fee allows the physi-cian to have a smaller patient pool for their practice, giving them the ability to see fewer patients in the day and spend more time with those patients.
Joining a concierge practice restores the strong doctor-patient relationship that many of us can still remember.
Becoming a patient of Bianco Primary Care means same day or next day appoint-ments that start on-time, ac-cess to your doctor 24/7 and un-rushed office visits.
Additionally, Drs. Michael and Shelley Bianco offer nutri-tion counseling, coordination with specialists and house-calls.
Bianco Primary Care is ac-cepting new patients; call for an appointment today!

Well, it happened, just not exactly the way I anticipated. I think. One of the emails that flashed across my screen about an hour ago said that Cliff Jones – Milton High School’s principal – would be leaving at the end of this year. It was from Cliff saying that he had applied for and accepted the position of Executive Director of Accountability for the Fulton County Board of Education.
I told my wife a while ago that I was worried about Cliff and that I would not be too surprised if we lost him as principal at Milton. I wish that I had been wrong on this one.
This is a hard column for me to write. I will just come out and say it. The reason I was worried is because he has been one of those you-only-en-counter-maybe-once individu-als who was, as a principal, too good to be true. I did not think “the system” would tolerate
an individual so far outside of the mean – even though in a wonderfully good and positive way – for long.
Milton's new principal will be Dr. Nathan Buhl who is currently the principal of Crabapple Middle School. So I thought that maybe I would write a letter to Dr. Buhl – sort of a welcome note.
Dear Dr. Buhl,
Congratulations on being named the new principal at Milton. I have had all three of my children go to the school and am very fond of this insti-
tution. So many things that I have seen at this school have amazed me. Some of what I have encountered there falls just this side of magic.
You are stepping into very large shoes and are entering a school that is used to being led by a leader – as opposed to being ruled by the authority of the position. Leadership by au-thority alone is not leading and breeds contempt and destroys trust. Running a school by mandate alone is a fool’s gam-bit. Your predecessor was a wise leader who led the school by engaging his teachers and his students and having the strength, confidence and cour-age to allow them to achieve. So often they set their own bar far higher than if it had been set for them.
Your predecessor engaged the entire school – from the teachers to the coaches to the students. Because of this
“policy” and I am sure also because of the example he set, this school rallied around each other and supported each other across the general school population. I have never seen an organization that more sup-ported each other and reached out to each other in good times and bad. This did not happen by accident nor will it continue without support.
This school has gone through several extremely painful years of tragedy. That has taken a toll on everyone from the teachers to the stu-dents to the administration. Your predecessor bore the brunt of managing this and did so with amazing strength and focus.
Dr. Buhl, Milton has cre-ated a drama and theater department that is a crown jewel in all the system. But please understand Dr. Buhl that the “jewel” that has been
created is not really the theater department as much as it is an example of what can happen when students and teachers are empowered – when they are given the latitude and au-thority to create and make de-cisions. Milton students beam with pride for their theater de-partment. They do the same for so many of the sports teams. And the support crosses all borders, ages, ethnic composi-tion and interests. This is a high school that is “success-ful” and one that is making the world a better place.
Dr. Buhl, you are following in the footsteps of a principal who guided this school with dignity, wisdom, common sense and unimaginable em-pathy for all his flock. I know you will be a great principal because you will be working with a wonderful organization that responds to wonderful leaders.
An open letter to Milton High’s incoming principal

Schools as the executive director of accountability,” said Jones. “As I change my day-to-day responsibilities, my
commitment to increasing out-comes for all students remains steadfast. “
As the accountability chief for the school system, Jones will be responsible to ensure collective knowledge, data and best practices are shared and used throughout the school
system. In a school system like Fulton Schools, with a lead-ership focus on data-driven decisions, this position is a critical piece of the operational process. Fulton School Board member Katie Reeves, whose district includes Milton High School, said the experience Jones brings from the local school level will benefit him in his new position.
“While we will certainly miss Cliff’s leadership at Mil-ton, I am very glad the Fulton County School System will
continue to benefit from his experience and expertise,” said Reeves.
Jones is a relative newcom-er to education, having spent his early career in the banking industry after graduating with degrees from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Returning to the United States, he attended Georgia State Uni-versity and earned a master’s of education in secondary so-cial studies as well as certifica-tion in educational leadership.
In 2001 he took his first
teaching job at Milton High, and was named the assistant principal in 2005, before being named principal in 2010.
In an email sent to all par-ents in the Northwest Learning Community, school officials welcomed Jones to the admin-istrative team.
“We are thrilled for Mr. Jones to serve in this capacity and use his skill set to support our Fulton County Schools at the district level,” said Victor Shandor, area superinten-dent. “Mr. Jones has done an
outstanding job in his years of service at Milton High School.”

DEATH NOTICES
casual conversation between the officer and the armed person, the officer must have reasonable articu-lable suspicion, based on more than just the simple possession of the firearm.
If an officer finds no reasonable suspicion of illegal activity, then outside of a voluntary conversation with the individual, there is very little that an officer can compel a law-abiding armed person to do. Can people walk around with loaded rifles and shotguns in city parks when there are lots of people around?
If a person is not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm, such
as a convicted felon, they may carry a long gun (like a rifle or shotgun) in locations that are not off-limits, such as public parks.
The big difference here is that you do not have to have any kind of permit or license to carry a long gun as long as you are not prohibited from owning a firearm. Let’s say I see an armed person sitting on a bench at the park who is cursing and yelling ob-scenities at each passerby. Every now and then, I see him re-move a small gun from his pocket and then put it away again, but does not point it at anyone. In light of the new firearms laws, what can the police do about this individual?
The new firearm legislation does nothing to limit law enforcement’s ability to detain and investigate armed persons for which they have
reasonable suspicion that these per-sons have been, currently are or are about to engage in illegal activity.
In this particular example, if officers find reasonable articulable suspicion that this armed person has been acting in a disorderly fash-ion or they witness his disorderly behavior, Georgia law permits us to detain this person to investigate them further.
This investigation would include, amongst other aspects, a check of the person’s identity and warrant status, as well as their eligibility to possess a firearm and whether they have a weapons carry license in their immediate possession.
Officers will also determine whether probable cause exists indi-cating that this person has violated one or more criminal laws, and if so, determine whether an arrest should occur.
