From the Publisher
T he Johns Creek High School (JCHS) football team is having a fabu-
lous season, and the talented and dedicated players surely deserve
the credit for winning the Friday night games. But, it truly does take a
village of Gladiators that support the team, and I am very excited to be
featuring the JCHS football program on the cover of this issue and to
highlight the many people and organizations that are contributing to the
team’s success. Thank you to Principal Buck Greene, Coach Mike Cloy,
Coach Bri Garramone and the many others who are working toward the
success of the JCHS football program.
Chief Ed Densmore, Major John Clifton and Major Brian Weaver of the
Johns Creek Police Department (JCPD) were all so enthusiastic and pro-
vided me with so much information about their two week trips to Israel
with the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE) that
I could have written the entire magazine about their experiences. I know
that you will find the information that was included in this editorial both
exciting and informative. A special “thank you” to Dr. Robert Friedmann
of GILEE for providing me with information about the program, and a big
“thank you” to the JCPD officials for sharing their experiences with us.
At a very young age, Dr. John Reyes’ father taught him that with hard
work and determination, anything is possible. Through both his father
and mother’s words and example, John Reyes achieved his dream to become a doctor of
obstetrics and gynecology. I know that you will enjoy reading about how Dr. Reyes began
his life in Columbia, South America and is now living his dream as an ob/gyn in Johns Creek
and South Forsyth.
Losing a child is an experience that only others who have had the same tragic loss can truly
understand. Johns Creek resident, Veronica McCain, who lost her daughter, Carrie Jo, last
December, has been instrumental in starting a local chapter of The Compassionate Friends to
provide those in our community with the opportunity to find comfort at the meetings of this
group. Please read about this new local chapter for those who are grieving the loss of a child.
Lambert High School senior Macey Kessler shares her reflections on the high school experi-
ence, from entering freshman to graduating senior. Thank you, Macey, for doing such a great
job on this piece as an intern for CountyLine.
Be sure to read about Northview High School students Angela Lin and Stephanie Jeong’s
award-winning artwork that was selected to be displayed in a very special exhibit. Congratu-
lations to Forsyth County Schools Superintendent Dr. Buster Evans, who is a finalist for 2012
Georgia Superintendent of the Year. As we continue to commemorate the 150th anniversary
of the Civil War, this issue’s History Made Easy is on the Margaret Mitchell House.
Enjoy the reading, enjoy the photos, and enjoy this issue of CountyLine!

Though all three of the JCPD officials visited many of the same border patrol check points and
military outposts, being there at different times afforded each of them the opportunity to see
security operations from a different perspective. Chief Densmore was visiting a military location
on the Gaza strip when Israeli Defense Forces were intercepting six ships that were referred to as
the “Free Gaza” flotilla. The ships from Turkey claimed to be carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza,
which is a Palestinian territory that has been blockaded by Israel since the area was taken over
by Hamas in 2007. “I was right there when the flotilla was attempting to break through the block-
ade,” said Chief Densmore. “I was witnessing an international incident and the military response
of the Israeli’s was taking place around me. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” During Major
Clifton’s trip in 2007, there was a bombing taking place in the Gaza strip that he was able to watch
from a military observation location.
The security presence that is consistently in place in all public areas—the streets, in malls, in res-
taurants—impressed all of the officials. “The security to enter a mall is like the security that we
have here at our airports. Bags and purses are searched and everyone enters the mall through
a metal detector,” said Chief Densmore. “Cars entering the mall parking lot are screened and
searched. This high level of security at all public places is just a way of life for them.” When walk-
ing in public areas, the members of each delegation were surrounded by armed security that
formed a barrier around them in the shape of a diamond. “There was never a time during the
entire trip that I didn’t feel completely safe,” said Major Weaver. Policing public areas was even
more impressive to the JCPD officials when they observed the diversity of the population, which is
a microcosm of the world’s population. The people on the streets are a mixture of those who live
in Israel and tourists, who come to Israel from countries around the world and represent many
religions. “A resonating point for me was the vast multi–cultural presence in Israel and the critical
need to provide stability, harmony, and safety to all,” observed Chief Densmore. “It was beneficial
to see how the Israeli Police deal with their day-to-day operations in a multicultural environment,
in addition to a constant threat of terrorism. It was very impressive.” What also impressed them
was the dedication of Israeli citizens to serve and volunteer to protect their country. All men serve
a minimum of three years in the Israeli Armed Forces, and women serve at least two years. “The
required military service to their country is something that is just a part of their lives,” said Major
Clifton. “They don’t question it, and they look forward to being a participant in protecting their
country. The dedication of the young people of Israel was overwhelming.”
In addition to observing security procedures, the members of each delegation visited the incred-
ible historic sites and toured many cities in Israel. This opportunity provided both an historic and
religious experience for the JCPD officials. “The most memorable part of the trip for me was
the historical aspect,”
said Major Weaver. “Be-

D r. John Reyes comes not just from a family of doctors, but from a family of six Ob/Gyns—
John, his wife Ingrid, his father, his sister, his brother and sister-in-law, together have deliv-
ered over 20,000 babies! The remarkable story of this family begins with one man’s determined
dream in Colombia, South America.
John’s father believed in the opportunities of America and came to this country over forty years
ago with a “backpack and a dream.” “He didn’t know a word of English, so before he could study,
he had to learn the language,” shares John. John’s father was determined to become a doctor
practicing in America in order to provide for his children the education and opportunity that he
himself had lacked in Colombia. “He gave up living with his family to create a better life for us.
My mother worked hard taking care of us until my father was able to bring the whole family to
live with him.” After successfully completing residency training in Ob/Gyn and advanced training
in Gyn Oncology in New York City, he once again took a chance on opportunity and moved the
family to East Texas. He opened his practice as the only Ob/Gyn in town and has been in solo
practice ever since, over forty years now. John’s father modeled for his children that everything is
possible with hard work and persistence. This was the biggest lesson John learned from his father,
“Anything is possible.”
John moved to New York City where his father was in training when he was five years old, not
knowing any English. He had to learn both the language and culture quickly once starting school,
and was encouraged by his parents to learn the language, do well in school, and always stand up
for who he was. “I’m always surprised when people give me praise for my accomplishments, like
learning a new language and culture on my own,” he says. “My family came from humble begin-
nings, and we were taught to work hard and never give up.” John’s mother taught her children
that each challenge was a mountain to climb, and overcoming mountains was just part of life.
After the family moved to East Texas, John got the opportunity to see why his father had sacrificed
so much. John saw the pride his father had in caring for his patients and being a part of his com-
munity and knew that he also wanted to be a doctor. John completed medical school at the Univer-
sity of Nebraska and finished his residency training at St. Louis University. During his residency,
he met his wife, Dr. Ingrid Reyes, who was finishing medical school. Ingrid came from a family of
similar values where hard work and determination was always encouraged. John and Ingrid had
the same philosophy about family values and how to practice medicine. As John says, “We both
knew we had something special the first time we met. We complement each other perfectly.”

successful high school football program is
so much more than a winning season. It is
the spirit of the team and the impact that
the Friday night games have on the student body,
the faculty and the community that reflect the
true success of the program. At Johns Creek High
School (JCHS) the Gladiators football program has
it all—a team that is winning games this season;
Head Coach Mike Cloy, who brings years of experi-
ence and a winning record to the team; 50 varsity
players, 70 junior varsity and 9th grade players;
Bri Garramone, who coaches 17 varsity cheerlead-
ers and Marisa Wesker, the sub-varsity coach of
15 freshman/sophomore game cheerleaders; the
fantastic, crowd-motivating music provided by the
JCHS marching band; the volunteer support and
contributions of the Gridiron Club, which includes
tailgating before the home games; satisfying con-
cessions provided throughout every home game by
JCHS Music Association volunteers; the support of
the school’s administration, staff and faculty; and
the support of the students’ families and the JCHS
community. This phenomenal football program got
off to a great start when the school opened three
years ago, with Mike Cloy coming in as head foot-
ball coach and athletic director for the school.
In high school, Mike Cloy was on the football, wres-
tling and track teams, and he played college football
for two years until he injured his knee. “Other than
my parents, my coaches made the greatest impact
on me and my future,” said Mike. He continued his
education, graduating with a Bachelor of Science
degree in Social Studies from University of Ten-
nessee at Martin. He then attended Georgia State
University and graduated with a Master’s degree in
Administration and Supervision. While in college,
Mike married his wife of 42 years, Linda, who was
his high school sweetheart. In 1971, Mike began
his career as a high school teacher and coach. His

15first full-time position was at Westlake High School (formerly Westwood) where he taught Social
Studies and coached football, wrestling and track. In 1975, Mike began a 16-year stay at North
Springs High School where he continued his career coaching football, wrestling and track. He
also served 11 years at North Springs as their athletic director. In 1991, he moved to Norcross
High School to coach and teach for two years. In 1993, he became the athletic director, assis-
tant coach of the football team, and head coach of wrestling at Chattahoochee High School. In
1997, when Centennial High School opened, Mike joined their staff teaching social studies and
as head football coach and athletic director. It was at Centennial that, in 2001, Mike ended his
career teaching social stud-
ies and focused on athletics.

through life.” Mike is grateful to have Arthur Letches as the offensive coordinator and Bill Wa-
ters as the defensive coordinator. They both bring years of experience and an intense drive
to succeed to the program. Three seniors on the varsity team, who are talented athletes and
exemplify the characteristics that Coach Cloy instills in his players, are: Grant Brown, Justin
Grava and Kirby Southard.
Grant Brown started playing football when he was 9-years-old. In 2010, Grant was selected as
North Fulton-Forsyth Player of the Week and, in 2011, he was chosen as one of seven players
for the North Fulton “Super Seven.” In 2010, Grant played first team linebacker for North Fulton
and All-region. Grant plays middle linebacker and punts on JCHS’s varsity team and also plays
on JCHS’s varsity lacrosse team. He hopes to play football or lacrosse in college.
Justin Grava started playing football when he was 6-years-old, and over the past 12 years, he
has played nearly every position on the field. Justin was JCHS’s 2010 Defensive Lineman of the
Year, and a two time recipient of the North Fulton/Forsyth Touchdown Club’s Player of the Week
award. Justin plays defensive end and offensive tight end on JCHS’s varsity team, and he also
plays lacrosse and roller hockey. He is a member of the National Honor Society and Student
Venture. Justin hopes to play football in college where he is planning to major in Business.
Kirby Southard started playing football when he was in the 7th grade. He was nominated for
Player of the Week by the North Fulton/Forsyth Touchdown Club. In 2010, Kirby won the JCHS
Lineman of the Year award and the Ironman of the Year award. He lifts weights five days a week
and spends any time that he is not participating in or training for sports studying. Kirby hopes
to have the opportunity to play football in college.
Bri Garramone has been a head cheerleading coach since JCHS opened three years ago. She
took over as head coach of the varsity football and competition cheerleaders this school year.
Bri took ballet, jazz and tap lessons while she was growing up and found that the skills she
learned as a dancer enhanced her ability to cheer. Bri started cheerleading in middle school and
16 Co u nt yL in e | N ovember 2011 | www. Cou ntyL ineMagazine.netcontinued cheering through high school. In addition to developing the cheerleading program, Bri is
proud of how the girls on the team develop and grow while being a part of the team. “Our cheerlead-
ers are so much more than leaders on the football field,” said Bri. “They are leaders at the school,
at events in the community, at competitions, and at camps for young girls in the community. I can
actually see a change in the girls as they grow with the team and develop their leadership skills. As
a member of the cheerleading team, the girls learn that there are different roads that they can go
down in life, and they learn to choose the right road and set an example for other girls in our com-
munity. They are a very unique group, and I am so proud of them.” There are 15 sub-varsity cheer-
leaders, who cheer at freshman and sophomore games and are coached by Marisa Wesker. Seniors
Cody Hudson and Becca Cessna are two varsity cheerleaders that exemplify the leadership skills that

24 Co u nt yL in e | N ovember 2011 | www. Cou ntyL ineMagazine.netTHE HISTORY OF THE MARGARET MITCHELL HOUSE
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Margaret Mitch-
ell House, a three-story Tudor Revival building, provides tourists with
an opportunity to walk through the rooms where Margaret Mitchell
lived and wrote Gone With the Wind. The house was built by Corne-
lius Sheehan as a single family home in 1899 and was converted into
a 10-unit apartment building in 1919. Margaret and her husband,
John, moved into apartment number 1 in 1925. The house remained
an apartment building until 1978 and was then abandoned. In a state
of complete disrepair, the house was saved by a group of preserva-
tionists, who formed what is officially known today as the Margaret
Mitchell House, and they proceeded to save and restore the house.
In 1989, Atlanta’s Mayor Andrew Young, designated the house as a
city landmark, saving it from demolition and enabling the restoration
to continue. Following damage to the house during a fire in 1994, it
was purchased by Daimler-Benz, and the restoration of the landmark
building moved forward. In 1996, just 40 days before its scheduled
completion, another fire struck, the house was restored again and
officially opened on May 17, 1997.
MUSEUM SHOP
The gift shop showcases a variety of Gone With the Wind inspired
items from Polonaise holiday ornaments of Scarlett, Rhett and other
characters to dolls, collectible plates, and dress patterns from the
Civil War period.
In addition to guided tours of the apartment, the Margaret Mitch-
ell House that is operated by the Atlanta History Center, offers
creative writing classes for adults and youth, programs featuring
award-winning authors, and special exhibitions. It is located at 990
Peachtree Street NE in Atlanta. Tours that begin every half hour
are conducted during hours of operation from 10am to 5:30pm
Monday through Saturday and on Sunday from noon to 5:30pm.
Tickets are $13 for adults, $10 for seniors (65+) and $8.50 for
youth (4-12). For more information or to purchase tickets, visit:

Finalist for 2012
Georgia Superintendent
of the Year
F orsyth County Schools Superintendent Dr.
Buster Evans has been selected by The Geor-
gia School Superintendents Association’s commit-
tee as one of four finalists for the 2012 Georgia
Superintendent of the Year award. “We are thrilled
for Dr. Evans to receive this outstanding recogni-
tion. He is truly worthy of the honor because he is
dedicated to improving public education for every
student, teacher and parent in Forsyth County and
across Georgia,” stated Tom Cleveland, Chairman
of the Forsyth County Board of Education. “Dr. Ev-
ans envisions new and innovative goals for us to
achieve, and is not afraid to forge to unknown ter-
ritories to do what is best for students. In addition
to continuing the high quality of educational oppor-
tunity well recognized in Forsyth County, Dr. Evans
led our district with increased SAT scores, higher
graduation rates, and the creation of the R4 Digital
Dashboard that reports organizational performance
indicators.” Dr. Evans was nominated for this hon-
or by each member of his Board of Education and
Cabinet as well as the principals of all 35 Forsyth
County schools.
The four finalists will complete a document pre-
pared by the American Association of School Ad-
ministrators and submit it for a second round of
judging. The winner, who will represent Georgia
in the national competition, will be named at the
annual Georgia School Boards Association Awards
Luncheon on December 2nd.
