ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Anyone driving on Windward Parkway will likely see construction be-fore too long as new lanes may be added to the road.

Friends robbed at knife pointJOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Two Johns Creek men were held at knife point by a couple of “friends” they met at a bar fol-lowing a dispute Oct. 13.

The victims told police they were at Utopia Bar until 2:30 a.m. when they accepted a ride home from a couple of men they met that night – “D-Love” and “JP.” In exchange for the lift, the victims said they would offer a few beers at their apartment. Once at the apartment, on Medlock Bridge Road, D-Love said his phone was missing and blamed the victims. The victims denied taking the phone.

D-Love became upset and attacked

one of the victims, punching him in the face and forcing him to sit down, fac-ing a wall, while D-Love ransacked the home. He found some knives and gave one to JP, who held the victims during this time.

The victims’ wallets, computers, credit card, two knives and $20 in change were taken.

Felon caught with firearm after hitting girlfriend

JOHNS CREEK, GA. – A domestic vio-lence call led to the arrest of a felon for possessing a firearm Oct. 8.

According to police, Darril Martin, 48, of Colony Club Drive, was recently released from jail and returned to the home he shared with his girlfriend and infant child.

A cousin of his girlfriend’s came over to pick up items and Martin alleg-edly believed the cousin was conspiring against him. He yelled at his girlfriend

and hit her over the head as she was carrying the baby. When police were investigating the incident, they found a handgun belonging to Martin in the home. A convicted felon, Martin is pro-hibited from having weapons.

He was arrested for simple battery, being a felon in possession of a firearm and cruelty to children in the third degree.

App match leadsto harassmentMILTON, Ga. – A poorly chosen match on OK Cupid has led to charges of ha-rassment for a Milton resident.

The victim told police he used the OK Cupid dating app and found “Jeana” on Oct. 11. He said Jeana be-gan sending him text messages saying she worked at AT&T and was able to get all the victim’s personal informa-tion.

She was also able to get the number of a friend of the victim and began call-ing the friend, as well.

Remember your deductible resets January 1, 2016.

What is a cataract?The eye has a lens similar in function to a camera lens, focusing light on the retina, the part of the eye that re-ceives images and transmits them to the brain. This lens is made of proteins that are aligned in a precise manner, making the lens clear. As we age, the proteins can begin to clump together, making the lens cloudy. When the lens becomes cloudy it is a cataract.

What causes cataracts?All people develop cataracts if they live long enough, due to natural wear and tear on the proteins making up the lens. There are, however, factors thought to accelerate this process. These in-clude exposure to UV light, smoking, and diabetes. To slow the progression of cataracts, do not smoke and wear UV blocking sunglasses when outside.

What are the symptoms of cataracts?People with cataracts often note a gradually increas-ing cloudiness of the vision as well as poor night vi-sion. Other symptoms include glare when driving at night, and haloes around lights. Patients may note that colors look faded due to the yellowing of the lens. Sometimes these changes happen so slowly that someone may not realize how much their vi-sion has been aff ected.

How are cataracts diagnosed?Your eye doctor will be able to diagnose whether you have a cataract by performing an eye exam that includes dilating your eyes to get a good look at the lens. Your vision will be tested to determine if the cataract is aff ecting your vision. You may also have glare testing to determine if your vision is decreased in situations such as driving at night.

What is the treatment for cataracts?With early cataracts, vision can often be improved with a new glasses prescription, or using increased lighting when reading. As cataracts progress, the only treatment available is surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artifi cial lens. Cataract surgery is recommended when the cataract has become advanced enough to aff ect your daily

activities such as reading, watching television, or driving. Cataract surgery very successful, but like all surgeries has risks. Your eye doctor will discuss the risks, benefi ts, and alternatives of cataract surgery with you.

What are some of the new technologies available to cataract patients? Some of the most exciting progress in cataract surgery recently has been the development of advanced technology intraocular lenses which help patients minimize dependence on glasses. Ap-proximately 1/3 of the population has astigmatism that blurs the vision, requiring glasses for correction. Advanced technology lenses can often correct astigmatism inside the eye, enabling patients to have clear distance vision. Another type of ad-vanced technology lens, called a multifocal lens can often help cataract patients see more clearly both at near and at distance after surgery. Your eye doctor can discuss if you would be a candidate for these technologies.

MILTON, Ga. - In recognition of Veterans Day, the City of Mil-ton seeks veterans’ information for the city’s registry of service men and women.

Through seven years of hard work and the generos-ity of residents, Milton has amassed a list of more than 700 living and fallen veterans. This information will be used to place an advertisement in the paper recognizing and list-ing the name of each Milton veteran.

Each year residents ask how their family members may be added to the registry. The city does not have access to a government database revealing who served in the military. In-stead, the City of Milton needs its residents to speak about this matter.

To register a family member or friend, please use the online form available at the City of Milton website, www.cityofmil-tonga.us.

—Isabelle Nguyen

City seeks veterans’ information for Veterans Day

1. Take a digital photo of your kids. While it’s great for the scrapbook, it’s also important to have a recent and detailed description in the event of an emergency.

2. Make sure your child’s costume is safe. Is the fabric fire retar-dant? Does their mask have proper eye, nose and mouth openings? Can they walk easily in it?

3. Use a buddy system. If you are headed out with a group, make sure there is a buddy system in place. It’s easy for a child to be left behind or mixed in with other groups.

4. Know who your kids are trick-or-treating with. Ex-change phone numbers with your child’s friends and their parents. In the event of an emergency, you can notify them.

Halloween safety tips:

MILTON, Ga. - The Georgia De-partment of Labor announced Oc. 23 that metro Atlanta’s unemployment rate for Sep-tember was 5.5 percent, down one-tenth of a percentage point from 5.6 percent in August. The rate in September 2014 was 6.7 percent.

The rate fell as more resi-dents got jobs and there were fewer new layoffs.

The number of employed residents increased in Au-gust. Also, the number of new layoffs, as measured by initial claims for unemploy-ment insurance, declined by 4.6 percent in September. The decreases came in a number of industries including manufac-turing, wholesale trade, trans-portation and warehousing, administrative and support services, accommodations and food services, and educational services.

Jobs were lost in several major employment sectors, including leisure and hospital-ity, professional and business services, trade, transporta-tion and warehousing, and construction. State and local

government added jobs as the public schools reopened for the new school year.

However, over the year, Atlanta gained 72,300 jobs, a growth rate of 2.9 percent. Most of the job growth came in professional and business services, trade, transporta-tion and warehousing, leisure and hospitality, government, education and health services, financial activities, construc-tion and manufacturing.

Metro Gainesville had the lowest area jobless rate at 4.7 percent, while the Altamaha region had the highest at 7.5 percent.

Meanwhile, Georgia’s seasonally adjusted unemploy-ment rate for September was 5.8 percent, unchanged from August.

It was 6.9 percent in September 2014. Georgia is ranked third nationally in monthly job creation.

Local area unemploy-ment data are not seasonally adjusted. Georgia labor market data are available at www.dol.georgia.gov.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – With Alpharetta’s City Center soon to begin redevelopment into a vibrant live-work-play down-town, and the high-end Avalon development beginning its own phase 2 of construction, Al-pharetta is becoming a hotbed of new construction.

But between these two nodes is Thompson Street, a heavily wooded, somewhat run-down part of town that directly connects the two most vibrant areas of town. That is quickly going to change.

Several new projects have been proposed for Thompson Street that will turn it into a heavily residential area, com-plete with “linear” park space.

The stretch of land is zoned Office Professional (OP) and Residential.

The city’s recently adopted future land use plan depicts the area as Downtown Live-Work (DT-LW), which is a mix of office and residential, largely expecting townhomes with of-fices below them.

That is not happening quite as planned.

“We are seeing mostly resi-dential without the live-work component,” said Kathi Cook, Alpharetta’s director of Com-munity Development.

Cook said the street is intended as a go-between for people wishing the lifestyles of both downtown Alpharetta and Avalon. A focus on green

space will run the length of the street, creating a “linear park,” Cook said.

“Each application [for development] has some link to connect it to the park,” Cook said.

City staff will ensure each project that comes along will tie in.

A proposed development built by Edward Andrews Homes will have 40 single-family townhomes on six acres along Thompson Street in Alpharetta.

Don’t dare miss this next year: Wire and Wood music festival in Alpharetta

So this past weekend there was a wonderful musical event in Alpharetta – the Wire and Wood Songwriters Festival. The festival took place over three days – Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It also took place on three stages in downtown Alpharetta – the “main stage” on Milton Avenue, the “street stage” located in the parking lot just off Milton Avenue be-hind Smokejack and La Casa, and the “acoustic stage” in the field across from La Casa. Yes, there were three stages and, as I count them, over 20 different musical acts during the three days – many of which I under-stand hailed from Nashville.

The kickoff was held at Avalon and it was free. Days two and three were held in downtown Alpharetta and there was a charge of $30 to get in. All the stages were cor-doned off so only ticket holders were admitted. There was live music from roughly 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. each day. Food trucks were available, serving a wide variety of cuisines. Several lo-cal restaurants were out on the street cooking and, yes, there was plenty of wine and beer

available for those of age. The weather was as close

to perfect as it could have been, albeit just a bit on the chilly side. The quality of the acts was overall just this side of amazing. The ambiance was one of a small insiders’ event with just enough people to make it interesting but not so many as to be a hassle. Think Chastain but with more stages, more choices, more convenience and almost com-parable acts. At the event on Saturday, we met our friends who recently moved from New Jersey to Marietta. I watched them keep looking around at the setup and the stages and generally enjoying themselves. “This is really amazing here. I think I like what Alpharetta

is doing,” my friend turned to me and commented. “Yes,” I replied. “So do I.”

So I am writing this col-umn because too many of you were not there, and you really missed something special. You would have had a blast and it would probably have been the cheapest $30-per-person for leisure that you would have spent in a long time. You could have sat in the chairs set up in front of all the stages or you could have brought blankets. You could have come by your-self or you could have rounded up a few friends and met there for a wonderful time under the stars for great tunes, camara-derie and a fun, comfortable night. You would have found plenty of convenient parking and could have wandered into some of the increasingly fun and eclectic downtown stores to see what you could discover. In short, you could have en-joyed it and I am sorry for any of you who did not know about the event or knew about it and did not come.

I know that the hope is for the event to become a regional draw – to pull crowds from all over Georgia and eventu-ally the Southeast. That is a reasonable goal and one that should be good for Alpharet-ta/North Fulton. The more people who find out about our town(s), the better, as I see it. The people are what make North Fulton a great place to live already; the more good folks we attract, the better.

Next year the event needs to be promoted a bit different-ly, though – more locally and more aggressively. Trying to grow this event without a solid local base of attendees is not a good idea, especially when you are going to charge for the music.

The average age at the event was early 50s, by my estimate, which makes them baby boomers for all practical purposes. And baby boomers right now constitute the major-ity of North Fulton residents. Build a loyal following of attendees with this audience and the regional audience will come. The boomers are the horse that must come before the cart.

The Wire and Wood Song-writers Festival is a not-to-miss event. I just hope that the mayor and city administrators continue to work on this show and stay focused on growing it. Attendance this year was a bit of a disappointment, but that can be fixed next year. Thank you, Mayor and company, for putting on this wonderful event.

I love Halloween. It’s a fun time of year and the beginning of the holiday sea-son. There are decorations everywhere, and neighbors compete with each other for the best, most over-the-top decorated home on the street. It’s like Christmas for the spooky and I love it.

But then there are the costumes. Perhaps this is me showing my age, but it seems each year the costumes get weirder than the last.

I have long conceded the point that I am no longer on the cutting edge of “cool.” If I see a costume I don’t recognize, I just assume it’s either a new cartoon or some online meme. But especially for the women’s costumes, can we all agree that not all things are or must be “sexy” for Halloween?

There are the traditional costumes – sexy nurse, sexy firefighter, sexy police officer, sexy vegetable – I under-stand those. But then there is the “sexy Donald Trump” or the “sexy rat with pizza.”

I could get the sexy re-porter costume. Then again, I already have that one.

The Donald Trump costume confuses me. Of all things I want in my life to associate with “sexy,” Donald

Trump is not one of them.Perhaps there is the atti-

tude that turning something like that into a Halloween costume is ironic? Or just funny? It could certainly be scary. Maybe that’s the point? I don’t know. I don’t want to know.

I know that each Hallow-een becomes a battleground of “keep the sexy out of the holiday.” It’s unfair perhaps to keep bringing up such a topic each year that espe-cially targets women and women’s fashion. But a part of me is just confounded by all the weird things that must be “sexy” that must also be for women.

It’s a fun holiday, and maybe that’s the point. It’s one of the few times a year a woman gets to don a ridicu-lous “sexy” costume and not be judged too harshly.

Meanwhile my Halloween costume will be decidedly unsexy.

Well, maybe just a little.

Must every Halloween costume be ‘sexy?’

Must love … black catsIt’s no secret that I love

cats. Obsessed would even be a reasonable word to describe my love of cats. It wouldn’t be too big of a sur-prise if I ended up as a cat lady someday.

That being said, my cat color of choice is black. This love developed from my late pet, Edgar, or Ed for short. He was the first black cat my family ever adopted, but, in my opinion, he’s the best cat we’ve ever had. Ed came to live with us in a roundabout way. First, we adopted his tabby brother, Poe, from a local veterinary clinic. The next day, we felt bad for breaking up the kitty “family” and went back to adopt Ed. How thrilled we were that he was still there, waiting to be adopted. But more later on why he was probably still left behind.

After he died, we decided we could never replace him, although we knew our next cat (or cats) would probably be black. Then, last Novem-ber, we adopted two solid-black kitten brothers, Reu-ben and Al. They’re perfect and Reuben has become my

own little furry kitten child. However, when we ad-

opted our boys, we had to go through a somewhat long process so the animal shelter could be sure we wouldn’t hurt them. Of course my cat-crazed family would never think of hurting any animal, but apparently that is not true of all people.

Black cats notoriously have the lowest adoption rate

Wesleyan studenthonored for perfect SATALPHARETTA, Ga. —Andy Yang, an Alpharetta resident and an eighth-grader of Wesleyan School in Peachtree Corners, was honored Oct. 18 as one of the brightest middle school students in the world at an international awards ceremony sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY).

The Center honored Yang for his exceptional performance as a middle school student on the college SAT test as part of the annual CTY Talent Search. CTY uses above-grade-level tests, such as the college SAT, ACT, or similar for middle school students, because they provide a clear picture of advanced students’ true academic abilities. As a seventh grader, Yang scored a perfect 800 on the math sec-tion of SAT in the 2014-2015 CTY Tal-ent Search. As a result, Yang was also

invited to join CTY’s Study of Exceptional Talent (SET), a select group of profoundly gifted students world-wide who achieve a score of 700 or higher on SAT reading or math before the age of 13. Andy’s score of 800 on the SAT-M as a seventh grader is superb.

Considering that Andy earned a perfect score on this portion of the test, it is possible that his true score would have been even higher than 800 if the ceiling was raised,» said Michelle Muratori, CTY’s Senior counselor and researcher of study of exceptional tal-ent.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. - On Fri-day, Oct. 9, Alpharetta High School’s head coach and director of cheerleading, Katie Arnold, put together a foot-ball Friday event for Primrose School. 

Alpharetta High School’s varsity cheerleaders and var-sity football players donated books and read to each of the classrooms. They also talked to the students about being involved in high school ac-

tivities, and they spent time playing with the students. The students at Primrose made banners for the varsity foot-ball team and were involved in a pep rally. “Primrose does an amazing job at getting the

community involved and bring-ing relevant and interesting guest speakers and teachers into their school,” Katie Arnold said. “One of the main goals I have for my team this year is for them to be more visible in

the community and volunteer, teaching them to give back is very important to me. This op-portunity presented itself and everyone had a blast.”

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Three of the four teams in Forsyth County — Lambert, West and South Forsyth —

have stayed at the top of the region standings throughout the season and all are in need of a win this week to keep their attempts at a region title alive.

Lambert, which jumped ahead of South Forsyth after

the War Eagles fell to West For-syth on Oct. 16, will travel to Chattahoochee this Friday.

Lambert began the season with a 17-7 loss to Lanier but then went on to win their next six games, all against region opponents.

Through seven games, quarterback Richie Kenney completed 60 percent of his

passes for 1,148 yards. In that span, he threw seven touch-downs, but in what could be worrisome in must-win games, he also threw six interceptions.

Harrison Pomfret leads the rushing attack for Lambert, av-eraging over 170 rushing yards per game.

Chattahoochee will look to spoil the Longhorns’ hopes as

they were winless in their first seven games.

South Forsyth will travel to play Johns Creek on Friday. South Forsyth started the sea-son 6-0 and had five straight region victories before West Forsyth handed them their first loss of the season Oct. 16.

Through seven games, The War Eagles’ defense held op-ponents to 16 points per game behind experienced linebackers Max Slott and Grant Umberger as well as a defensive line that includes Blake Oldfield, Ryan LaFlamme and standout Cam-eron Kline.

The War Eagles will take on a Johns Creek team that is out to prove themselves as contenders once again. After having won only one game in their previous two seasons, the Gladiators are in a position to have a winning season and possibly make the playoffs for the first time since 2012.

South Forsyth is seeking their first region title since 1997, when the played in re-gion 7-AA.

West Forsyth, which holds the tiebreaker against South, will face Centennial.

The Wolverines opened re-gion play with a heartbreaking, last-minute loss to Alpharetta, but then went on to win their next five region games and have not been lower than third in the region standings since week four.

Junior QB Kiernan Ham-ilton has had a stellar season for the Wolverines, throwing over 1,800 yards through sev-en games with 25 touchdowns. Hamilton averaged 20 yards per throw during that stretch.

West’s offense has also been effective on the ground, averaging 151 yards rushing per game with junior Grant Torgerson leading the rush-ing attack. Torgerson had 503 yards and two touchdowns in seven games for the Wolver-ines. Kwon Miller, who shares the running back duties with Torgerson, had 246 yards and five touchdowns.

In many games, the Wol-verines have needed high offensive output to compensate for a defense that gave up an average of 28 points per game through seven games. In that same span, Centennial aver-aged 28 point per game.

Second to last week equals must-wins for teams atop region 6-AAAAAA

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Forty of north Atlanta’s best and brightest stars gathered in one room Oct. 22 to be recognized for their status as up-and-comers in the business and

cultural world. The North At-lanta Business Post’s inaugu-ral 40 Under 40 awards event was held at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Alpharetta.

Many of the candidates were selected by the chambers of commerce from the counties the Post covers – Cherokee, Cobb, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwin-nett and Hall – for making an impact in their communities and businesses.

NABP organized the 40 Under 40 event as a means to highlight the promising talent

in the six counties of the north Atlanta area. Each chamber of commerce in the NABP’s coverage area selected a list of nominees, with the greater business community selecting their own. Staff from the NABP chose 40 winners from the nominations.

“We worked with all of our chambers of commerce to decide who were the most distinguished nominees,” said Hans Appen, publisher of the NABP.

The keynote speech was given by Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle, who had just turned 40 years old himself.

There is more to life than starting a career, he said. A legacy can have lasting effects on those around you, but must be worked for constantly.

He said the first question someone starting a career asks is “can I do it?” The second question is “can I be significant?”

“What breaks your heart?” he asked. It should be your mission to stop whatever that is from happening, he said.

That is how you make a difference in the world.

Those who were assembled in the room, all named the best in north Atlanta, were well primed to leave a lasting legacy.

What are you going to do to thank your customers for their business during the holiday season? Are you planning a holiday event or sending out thank-you notes to express your thanks for the business your customers have done with you this year? Thanking your customers during the holiday season is not only a nice ges-ture, but it will also help you to retain a customer’s business next year.

Let’s face it. Everyone has customers and your custom-ers have a choice of where they do business. Letting them know that you appreciate their business, especially at the end of the year during the holiday

season, is just good business sense. You don’t have to go overboard and buy lavish gifts. A simple “thank you” email will go a long way in maintaining a solid relationship with your customers.

Some small-business owners forget this important gesture, and scratch their

head and wonder why when a current customer starts doing business with a competitor. There should be no excuses that prevent you from thank-ing your customers during the holiday season.

Hosting an event, send-ing gift cards, or even picking up the phone and thanking them verbally is viewed by all customers as a positive ac-tion. Start your planning now for what you are going to do between Thankgiving and the New Year.

Thanking your customers for their business during the holiday season will go a long way toward retaining business with them.

CUMMING, Ga. — The Univer-sity of North Georgia is try-ing to create an entrepreneur ecosystem.

“It’s vital for us to be com-petitive and successful long term and have joy within our lives that way,” said Ruben Boling, director for the Center for the Future of North Geor-gia.

That’s why Boling, along with his department, decided to initiate a program at UNG called StartUp UNG.

“We had a couple of stu-dents come to us with busi-ness ideas but they didn’t know what to do,” Boling said. “That was an ah-ha moment

for us to say we really need to get going on this and make it happen. So we got started on StartUp UNG. It is a student group that meets on a regular basis and talks about startups and brings in successful entre-preneurs and patent folks to talk with to see what they need to do from that standpoint.”

From there, Boling said the next phase was to get that idea out into the community and involve them. So he created the first StartItUp conference Oct. 20 at the Lanier Techni-cal College Conference Center. Attendees included students from the University of North Georgia and high school stu-dents from both Forsyth and Lumpkin counties listen to entrepreneurs.

“We want our students to start talking with the high school students to encourage and support them,” Bol-ing said. “If you look at the economic growth in our area,

which is the foundation of a good lifestyle because we all want a job and provide for our families, the more businesses we start, the more opportuni-ties we have to provide those kind of things. A lot of eco-nomic development is about attracting companies that are already established into the area. We want a good mixture of large companies providing that type of job, but also those made on their own kind of jobs.”

The lineup for the event in-cluded speeches from Johnny “Cupcakes” Earle, an apparel designer, Tom Chernetsky, CTO for social app Yik Yak, Katie Dicke and Marcus Hol-linger, with Reach Records, and Beau Shell, also known as the Lil’ Ice Cream Dude.

Shell, the youngest speaker at age 11, discussed how he created his successful ice cream business. This is his fourth year as an entrepreneur

and he said his love of the sweet treat fueled his passion.

“My vision is to inspire and help other small businesses as I build my own successful ice cream empire, brand and private line of ice cream,” Shell said. In 2014, Shell’s business’ income project was at $19,000.

This year he hopes to earn $25,000. He donates portions of his earnings to the Chil-dren’s Miracle Network and his church.

“Always think big, remain humble, give back,” he said, “and prepare to change the world with your dreams.”

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – For one weekend, Oct. 15-17, Alpharet-ta became a hub of all things music with the Wire and Wood Songwriters Festival.

Three days of music kicked off Oct. 15 on the lawn at Avalon, filling it with families humming and dancing along to the music of performers Liz Longley and The Whiskey Gentry.

The dancing continued the next night, Friday, Oct. 16, with a change in venue to downtown Alpharetta. Three distinct stages were set up throughout the his-toric district. Acts such as Joe Crookston, Angaleena Presley, The Swear and Chris Stills played a variety of music, from acoustic ballads to Southern rock to country passions. The acts continued Saturday, Oct. 17, with plenty more bands and singer-songwriters, in-

cluding Parker Millsap, Tinsley Ellis, Smokin’ Novas and Eliot Bronson.

In its inaugural year in 2013, Wire and Wood took place on one night with art-ists performing at locations around downtown Alpharetta. This year, the event moved to three days and was sponsored by the city of Alpharetta and the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau. The event was produced by Russell Carter Artist Management, which developed and produces the 30A Songwriters Festival along Scenic Highway 30A in Florida.

Carter said the goal of the event was to present “musi-cally diverse songwriters of national prominence to the cultural-arts-minded commu-nity north of Atlanta.”

“I talked with most of the musicians and they were very excited to be a part of the multi-day festival and were all in sync with their praises

of the audiences,” said Janet Rodgers, president of the Al-pharetta Convention and Visi-tors Bureau. “The attendees had a wonderful time listen-ing to the artists on all three stages and I only received posi-tive comments about the event. People are already asking me about next year’s date for Wire and Wood.”

and highest euthanasia rate. There isn’t a lot of solid infor-mation out there as to why that’s the case, but it is prob-ably linked to superstitions. Black cats are supposedly the harbingers of bad luck. You are warned not to let them cross your path or you’ll suffer the consequences.

With Halloween right around the corner, a lot of shelters often keep their black felines away from the public and won’t adopt them out due to fear of horrible people adopting them to do harm or people wanting them as props during the Halloween season.

There are countless stories of people buying or adopting black cats near Halloween to mistreat the animals and some

rumors of horrifying tales of black cats being sacrificed.

Now, I don’t know how much of that is true, but the fact remains that black cats are often overlooked or ignored at animal shelters, which might be why Ed had been left behind years earlier. It’s also true that black dogs are usu-ally forgotten when families are choosing a new pet. This is disheartening to me because all homeless animals deserve to be loved.

Next time you or your fam-ily or friends are considering bringing a new furry fam-ily member into the picture, consider a black cat or dog. I can guarantee they will be one of the best pets you’ve ever had, maybe even the very best. Plus, who doesn’t want a mini-panther around their house?

And if you don’t like them, well, feel free to bring them to me.

MILTON, Ga. – Tess Luman, of Milton, will receive the Daily Point of Light Award on Nov. 4 for her volunteer work with animal rescue. The award will be presented by The Points of Light Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to vol-unteer service.

The Daily Point of Light Award is given to a person who gives volunteer service to help within their communities.

Luman’s volunteer efforts have focused on animal rescue. Over the past four years, Lu-man has dedicated 600 hours of volunteer service with the Forsyth County Animal Res- cue. As Luman explained, “Ev-

ery year in the U.S., 10 million cats and dogs enter a shelter and more than half are put down because there is no room to keep them until they are adopted.” Last school year, she organized a pet food fundrais-er, alongside Cambridge High School’s spring musical, “An-nie.” “We collected more than 250 pounds of dry food and 200 cans to help them care for their “orphans” – enough to feed 65 rescued dogs and cats for a month,” she said.

Last summer, she traveled to Washington, D.C., to receive the Congressional Award Gold Medal. The Congressional Award is for young Americans. Nonpartisan, voluntary and noncompetitive, the program is open to all 14- to 23-year-olds. 

Volunteering for the Forsyth County Animal Rescue has taught Luman “responsibility, patience, and compassion – and that even one person can make a difference.”
