The day begins at 8:30
a.m. at the church with a
prayer and a service of Holy
Communion where volunteers
ask God to bless their hands
and hearts. Then the teams
head out to work.
“The day comes off as a
seamless effort because of the
planning that takes place well
ahead of time.” said Walden.
“Rudy Hampton chaired this
planning committee and each
project was solicited, sur
veyed and assigned a team
leader who is then responsible
for making sure they have
supplies and the number of
volunteers requested."
For the second year, Big
Creek Presbyterian Church
provided leadership at two of
the sites for the event. New
Song Community Church also
joined the work force of vol

to both the community and
those who volunteer their
time.
"God blessed us with won

very prepared and got us any

and then paint them better
than any artist,” said Chuck

Alleged drunk driver
hits sheriff’s deputy
By Nicole Green
Staff Writer
An alleged drunk driver
struck, but did not injure, a
sheriff’s deputy in south
Forsyth County last week,
resulting in an arrest after a
short car chase.
Deputy Richard Doyle was
conducting a traffic stop on
McFarland Road near Ga. 400
around 10:30 p.m. on Thursday,
according to the incident report.
A passing motorist alerted the
deputy that the driver of an
approaching white Mercedes
was possibly under the influ
ence of alcohol.
Sharon Alexander, 43, of
Alpharetta was driving a
Mercedes with a flat tire west
bound on McFarland Road. The
car was swerving all over the
road, the deputy’s report said.
While standing next to his
vehicle with blue lights flash
ing, Doyle signaled the car to
stop by using his flashlight. As
Alexander drove by, the passen
ger side of her car hit the
deputy’s right arm.
The deputy, barely injured,
raced to his patrol cruiser and
chased Alexander’s vehicle
down McFarland. He caught
the suspect when she tried to
turn around in a parking lot at
857 McFarland Road, the report
states.
