Prospect Park project will continue, developer says
By Rachel Kellogg / Neighbor NewspapersPlans to develop Alpharetta’s Prospect Park will go on, despite the reported bankruptcy of its developer Fourth Quarter Properties XLVII.
According to Stanley Thomas, founder, chairman and CEO of Thomas Enterprises, Prospect Park’s lender attempted to foreclose the property, but the company filed for bankruptcy to reorganize its finances.
“Wachovia was advertising that they were going to [foreclose], but we prevented them from doing that by filing Chapter 11,” he said.
Thomas said he is still “100 percent” in moving forward with plans for the mixed-use development, but he was not able to provide a timeline for when construction might take place.
“We’re in the process of some loans,” he said.
Alpharetta’s Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard said the city attorney is still obtaining a copy of the bankruptcy petition from the bankruptcy court.
“Until we see it, I don’t know how it’s going to affect the city,” he said.
Councilman Doug DeRito said he sees the company filing for bankruptcy as a good opportunity to finally see the project through.
“The city has always been supportive of this project,” he said. “The fact that they are able to file for bankruptcy gives us hope that they may be able get the project moving again.”
DeRito said he gives Thomas credit for trying to save the project, and he said he hopes to see Westside Parkway completed soon.

PAL to host 'Shop with a Cop' at Walmart
Courtesy Appen Newspapers
Alpharetta – The Alpharetta Police Athletic/Activities League (PAL) will host the annual "Shop with a Cop" event on Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 6 p.m. at the Windward Parkway Walmart.
In the midst of the recent economic downturn, PAL believes this event is more significant now than ever.
This year, PAL aims to help more than 70 children.
Each child, along with their parent, will be accompanied by a police officer, firefighter or public safety volunteer as he or she shops for their desired holiday gifts.
"Throughout the year, representatives of the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety come across families who, for whatever reason, face financial challenges," said PAL CEO Jason Cimino.
"These financial challenges often times carry into the holiday season and impact their ability to buy gifts for their children."
With the assistance of Walmart, PAL has chosen to fill the spending gaps experienced by some of our local families and ensure many deserving children are recipients of some holiday cheer.
Each child will be able to spend up to $100. Although this allotment is theirs to spend on items for themselves, often these children elect to spend some of the money on gifts for their parents or siblings. And they are as likely to buy clothing as toys.
This annual police hosted/corporate sponsored event helps local families in need meet the holiday expectations for their children.
At this time, PAL still needs additional sponsors.
Walmart and the Alpharetta Rotary Club have already pledged $2,500 and $1,000, respectively. There have also been $300 in individual pledges.

Business owners will try their hands at governing
By Rachel Kellogg; Neighbor NewspapersNow that campaigning and elections are over, Alpharetta will have two new faces when Mike Kennedy and Chris Owens join the city council in January.
Kennedy has lived in Alpharetta for 11 years, and he moved from the Houston, Texas area to Atlanta in 1990 when he was offered a job giving radio traffic updates.
“Flying around in a helicopter doing traffic reports is the most exciting thing I’ve ever done,” he said. “But I tend to stay on the ground more now that I have three young children.”
He and his wife Randi have been married for 12 years, and their children are Tyler, 11, Brandon, 9, and Rachel, 7.
Kennedy owns North Point Financial Advisors, but he was not always interested in investing.
“I started as a TV weatherman and was a news anchor on TV and radio,” he said. “When I moved to Atlanta, I started dabbling in investments and started doing it for other people.”
When Kennedy is not working or spending time at Wills Park, he is involved with the Georgia chapter of the Angelman Syndrome Foundation.
“My oldest son has Angelman Syndrome,” he said. “We do things educationally and financially for kids in Georgia who have it.”
When he starts on council, Kennedy said he is most looking forward to learning the ropes.
“You don’t want to be the new guy who acts like he knows everything,” he said. “There’s a lot to learn before you jump in and start proposing new things.”
Kennedy and Owens both said they plan to help maintain and improve the community feeling of Alpharetta once they take office.
“I get a sense of community and a sense of home from this city,” Owens said. “The next natural thing is to try to maintain that feeling.”
Owens, who grew up in northwest Georgia, has called Alpharetta home for four years.
“I took my first job out of college as a city employee for Alpharetta,” the Southern Polytechnic State University graduate said.
Owens worked in the engineering and public works department and now owns Lowe Engineers where he runs the engineering department.
“I enjoy the client service aspect of my job,” he said. “I love to help people solve their problems.”
Owens has been married to his wife Jennifer for 15 years, and they have two children, 10-year-old William, and Lauren who turned 13 last week.
“My family and I, this past summer, just started going to the Greenway,” he said. “I love that we have so many opportunities to do fun things here.”
Owens also enjoys camping with his family and said he loves to go hunting in cooler weather.
“My closet sport that I enjoy is NASCAR,” he said. “I usually go to one or two races a year.”
Owens said he is looking forward to taking office so he can help plan a future for the city where citizens have everything they need.
Tough Questions: Poison In Our Parks?
Wendy Saltzman, CBS Atlanta Investigates
ATLANTA -- An exclusive and in-depth CBS Atlanta investigation uncovered metro Atlanta parks contaminated with arsenic.
CBS Atlanta chief investigative reporter Wendy Saltzman asked tough questions about why lumber treated with this dangerous chemical is still being used in the parks where your kids may picnic or play.
Arsenic used to be a common wood preservative used to kill bugs, in a combination with Chromium and Copper, called CCA. CCA-treated wood was banned voluntarily by the lumber industry, and at the recommendation of the EPA in 2003 because of the potential health effects on humans. LINK: EPA Answers Questions About CCA
But as we uncovered, that doesn't mean that arsenic-treated wood has been removed from playground and picnic areas you use. Any wood still on store shelves or already in use was exempt.
"The public needs to know, and we need to stop it," warned Wayne Dawsey. "I mean it could be fatal."
Dawsey provided us with home video he took at the plant where he worked which used CCA to treat wood.
"It will kill you, it will destroy your life. Look at me. Look at me and see what it has done to me," Dawsey said.
Dawsey, once a healthy runner, is now bound to a wheelchair. He said his multiple sclerosis-like symptoms are a direct result of his exposure to arsenic.
"I am a quadriplegic with brain damage," Dawsey told us. "And it is more dangerous for a child. It is just devastating what it could do to a child.”
CBS Atlanta News wanted to see how much danger your kids are in from the arsenic potentially seeping from this CCA treated wood. So we conducted a series of extensive tests checking for arsenic in wood playgrounds and wood parks across metro Atlanta.
Matthew Parker of ATC Associates helped us test for arsenic using both an x-ray gun to detect arsenic inside the wood, and a wipe test. We found arsenic leeching from picnic tables in 8 of the 9 parks we tested.
Piedmont Park, Central Park, Grant Park, Candler Park, Lucky Shoals, Shorty Howell, Wills and Murphy Candler Park all tested positive for arsenic.
"Arsenic in very large doses can interfere with your heart pumping correctly, it can give you sever digestive problems and ultimately bad diarrhea, and ultimately it can kill you," warned Dr. Robert Geller of Emory University and the Georgia Poison Control Center. "In small doses our biggest concern is does it increase the risk of certain kinds of cancer."
Geller said those effects are likely the result of long term exposure, but cautions parents to still take precautions just in case.
"In general, it is an avoidable exposure, and so I think we should take steps to minimize that exposure," Geller said.
And it only takes one look at Wayne Dawsey to see the very real effect the poison can have on a family.
"If you could live a day, or maybe a week in my shoes, you would understand that it is very dangerous," Heath Dawsey, Wayne's son told us.
And the number one place where we found the highest concentration of arsenic is possibly the place kids are most likely to be susceptible to that exposure. At a playground in Alpharetta called "Wacky World."
"It was good you brought this story forward, because quite honestly we didn't know there was a problem," Alpharetta Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard told CBS Atlanta News.
Both the City of Alpharetta and Gwinnett County Parks responded to our investigation immediately.
"We took those tables out and have them out of service," said David Clark, the Deputy Director of Park Operations for Gwinnett County. Within 24 hours both Clark and Drinkard pulled picnic tables that we exposed were seeping arsenic in their areas.
"If we find any that may test positive then we will take those out of service immediately," Clark continued.
Both Gwinnett County and Alpharetta also told us they are going to start testing for arsenic themselves on all wood picnic tables and playgrounds in their areas.
"We weren't following what was apparently the recommended processes, so we will put those in place, and we will go the extra step of doing the annual wipe test," Drinkard said. "So that we have a comfort level that our parks are as safe as we think they need to be."
Alpharetta will also be sealing all of the wood in "Wacky World" and testing it for arsenic on an annual basis.
"If we can't meet that standard, in fact is we can't beat that standard, then we have to look at taking those structures down and replacing them," Drinkard continued.
And while Alpharetta and Gwinnett are taking steps to protect our kids, it seems the City of Atlanta is not.
Remember, 4 of the 8 poisonous parks we tested were in Atlanta. In a written response Atlanta Parks Commissioner Harnell Cohen says the city "Regularly maintains [their] Picnic tables, including using a sealant that is painted over the wood ."
But our tests found that sealant isn't preventing these tables from leaching arsenic. Atlanta's response: Don't place food directly on the tables, and wash your hands. They didn't want to talk about it, and didn't want to answer our Tough Questions.
And DeKalb County, home to Murphy Candler Park, says they'll start replacing the tables, but they are giving themselves 6 months to pull poisonous structures in their parks. They say they'll seal tables annually, but they need funds to repair or replace those tables.
And do you have an old wood play set or deck in your own backyard? You could also have CCA treated wood at your home. There are several wipe-test kits on the market you can use to test wood in your own home. Healthy Building Network sells one, and the testing company we used was EMSL Analytical.
And if there's a wood playground in your area you think needs to be tested, email me at wendy.saltzman@cbsatlanta.com and we'll check it out.

Apago Introduces PDF Shrink 4.5 for Windows
Courtesy Whattheythink.comAlpharetta, GA -- Apago Inc., a software technology company that provides innovative solutions to transform digital documents, today introduces PDF Shrink 4.5 for Windows, bringing the award-winning and popular Mac utility to Windows users. PDF Shrink is a must-have for consumers and small businesses that need to produce PDFs at a quality and file size appropriate for use with smartphones, on the Web, as email attachments, or for onscreen reading. PDF Shrink can reduce most PDF files-including those created by Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and other common software-by as much as 90% of their original size. PDF Shrink 4.5 for Windows retails for $35 is available for purchase today at Apago's online store.
"One of the major complaints with PDF is file size," states Dwight Kelly, president of Apago Inc. "PDF Shrink has been extremely well received on the Mac and we've had a demand for a Windows version for some time. We are pleased to respond to the need of many consumers and businesses by delivering an affordable, easy-to-use windows utility for reducing the size of PDF files."
Free PDF Shrink Online Tutorial
Apago will hold a free online tutorial, which will provide valuable tips and tricks for using PDF Shrink 4.5 for Windows. The webinar will be held on Friday, November 13, 2009 at 11 a.m. EDT. To register, send an email to sales@apago.com or visit www.apago.com.
How PDF Shrink Works
"PDFs are often created from documents and applications where PDF is an afterthought. We see a lot of PDFs created by enterprise systems with an inefficient structure, redundant or unneeded elements, and images that are much larger than necessary," explains Barry Bowden, product support manager at Apago. "Even software specifically designed for PDF creation can be a challenge to setup properly without a thorough understanding of all technical options. PDF Shrink is designed to allow everyday users to optimize PDFs created by any application without having to learn new technical jargon."
PDF Shrink provides four common settings and an easy-to-use "wizard" for creating customized settings. The software allows for multiple settings in order to prepare PDFs for different uses, such as one for preparing documents to send to colleagues via email and a higher-quality setting to prepare files for storage in a content management system.
To shrink a PDF, simply drag and drop a single PDF file, or a group of PDFs, onto one of the settings. PDF Shrink analyzes the PDF(s) and identifies elements that can be optimized, often without changing the quality of the images. The software can remove embedded fonts and delete unused elements, including metadata, thumbnails, and duplicate data. Keeping up with the latest release is also easy with PDF Shrink's auto update feature.
Images frequently make up the largest portion of a PDF's size. PDF Shrink provides control over the size and quality of images to meet different requirements. Apago includes support for common compression methods, including the sophisticated JPEG2000. PDF Shrink can also protect PDFs with industry-standard encryption to prevent unauthorized access or to restrict users from changing, printing, or extracting content.
PDF Shrink 4.5 site licenses are available for $875 and an enterprise license covering all locations sells for $3,500. PDF Shrink is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2003 and 2008. Prospective users can download a fully functional, 10-day demo version from the Apago web site at www.apago.com. All Apago products can be purchased online at www.apagostore.com. For more information, visit the Apago Web site or call the company at 770-619-1884.
Flood warning issued for Cobb, Alpharetta
By Megan Matteucci
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Cobb County creek is at its flood stage and an Alpharetta waterway is almost there, the National Weather Service said.
Residents in Cobb, North Fulton and Forsyth Counties should be prepared for possible flooding tonight.
The National Weather Service issued a flood warning Tuesday evening for Allatoona Creek near Mars Hill Road in Cobb County. As of 5 p.m., the creek had reached its flood stage at 13 feet, meterologist Jessica Fieux said.
Earlier Tuesday, the Weather Service issued a flood warning for Big Creek in Alpharetta.
"We're on the lookout for minor flooding tonight and it should continue to rise near 9.6 feet early Thursday," meteorologist Brian Lynn said.
The flood stage for Big Creek is 7 feet, according to the Weather Service.
The Weather Service recorded 2.23 inches of rain at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport from 7 p.m. Monday to 4 p.m. Tuesday. About 1.85 inches of rain fell at the Peachtree-DeKalb Airport during the same time period.
The rain, brought by the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida, is expected to continue Tuesday night and will begin to diminish Wednesday, forecasters said.
The Weather Service said there is no need for residents to evacuate, but warned homeowners to keep an eye on their basements and back yards.
A flash flood watch remains in effect for north and central Georgia, including Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Cherokee, Forsyth and Henry counties. The watch remains in effect through Wednesday morning.
Heavy rain also caused problems on metro area roadways Tuesday afternoon.
The Georgia Department of Transportation urged drivers to be on the lookout for standing water and low visibility.
Police responded to several wrecks on the interstates in metro Atlanta, along with an overturned tractor trailer that forced all lanes on I-75 closed in Bartow County Tuesday afternoon.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. (MyFOX ATLANTA) - An Alpharetta mother discovered a hazard in her own backyard when her little girl nearly fell into an abandoned well.
Vicki Brown said her 4-year-old daughter nearly fell into the well when the dirt gave out beneath her and she fell forward.
Brown said she heard rock and dirt falling into the well below. The Alpharetta woman said the well was nearly 15 feet deep and she had no idea it was there.
The Browns said they are now trying to contact the developer to see if the company knew about the abandoned well.
