The community came together Oct. 16 at the Lanier Technical College
Forsyth Conference Center to celebrate the legacy of No Longer Bound
and the many lives it has impacted over the last 25 years. The faith
based, residential ministry helps men overcome addictions to alcohol
and drugs. Here, Mike Harden accepts an Outstanding Georgia Citizen
Award from Rodger Wise Jr. on behalf of Secretary of State Brian Kemp.
Harden, who started No Longer Bound, is stepping down this year.
HOROSCOPES by Holiday
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
may not think your contributions
are up to par, but give anyway.
Something will be better than noth
ing. Plus, you'll learn from the
effort and do even better next time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
have an entire drawer filled with
things you save for “just in case,’
but the moment to use them hasn't
come in years. It's purge time!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
will be in the right place at the
right time to hear what wasn’t
originally intended for you. This
will turn out to be fortunate,
indeed. It will be exactly what you
need to know.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It's
becoming clear that you need
more training in order to become
proficient at the job you want to
do. Your eagerness to learn com
bined with persistence will eventu
ally make you a master.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone
starts out without knowledge and
muddles through life making do
with what they are given. You have
respect for them all today, regard
less of station and achievement.
Everyone is doing their best.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll
be duly impressed by a production,
but do not start comparing yourself
to what you see. Don’t get so
blown over by the outcome of
work that you fail to see all that
went into it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
don’t have to do anything exciting;
you only have to be you. And
guess what? Someone wants to be
a part of your life, the day-to-day
process of it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Dorothy had to land in Oz to appre
ciate everyone she left back home.
This is the perfect day to buy your
ticket, especially if your trip isn‘t for
a few weeks.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Your mind is occupied with
thoughts of how you'll entertain
your crew. You want to create an
atmosphere where they feel free to
be interesting and lively people.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Self-knowledge will require some
effort and experimentation on your
part. Also, it helps to talk to your
family. Someone has a key bit of
information that will help you know
yourself more thoroughly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Maybe you'll figure out that you're
not as good at something as you
thought you were, but this is not
cause for embarrassment or regret.
You need to believe in yourself all
along the way in order to get better.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Whatever the nature of your work,
there is an art to it. You've become
more than proficient — you're an
artist. Thinking of yourself this way
will be the key to your success and
well-being today.

allowing them to be attached to someone
and detonated remotely by pulling the
string.
Marx also had several homemade flash
bang grenades, improvised explosive
devices and thousands of rounds of
ammunition.
According to sheriff’s officials, eight
deputies fired a total of 62 shots at Marx
on June 6, with four firing from inside the
courthouse and the others from outside as
they approached the rented Nissan
Armada that Marx arrived in.
They said Marx was struck 12 times,
seven in the body and five in the head.
Several other rounds also hit Marx, but
were not counted because they were
stopped by the double layer of body armor
he was wearing, Thompson said.
That count also does not include the sin
gle accidental gunshot wound that Marx
apparently inflicted on himself before
heading out that day.
Thompson said it appeared that Marx

James Allen “Jimmy"” Neisler
James Allen “Jimmy” Neisler, age 75,
of Cumming passed away Oct. 20, 2014.
Jimmy lived a simple life, finding joy as
he sat on his front porch and looked out
at the life he had built for himself and
his family. He proudly served his coun
try in the United States Army. He had
an incredible work ethic and took great
pride in the fact that he had built a fully
sustainable farm and that he had retired
from Georgia Pacific. He loved his ani
mals and especially “Champ” his white
shepard. He is preceded in death by his
parents, Roscoe and Glenice Neisler;
grandson, Daniel Allen-Scott Green;
granddaughter, Crystal Sierra Neisler,
six sisters and two brothers.
Survivors include his children, Kim
Neisler Heard of Cumming, Denise and
Jimmy Puckett of Dacula, Stacey and
Jonathan Holbrook of Cumming,
Shelley Neisler Spencer of Jacksonville,
Fla.; sisters, Bonnie Wright of
Cumming, Alice and Dale Smith of
Villa Rica; 11 grandchildren; three
great-grandchildren.

accidentally fired his pistol as he was
chambering a round, and that the .45 cali
ber bullet went in his thigh and came out
below the knee.
Officials speculate that the injury forced
Marx to leave for the courthouse before he
had finished loading his truck, since they
found a backpack with even more booby
trapped grenades at his house.
One shot fired by a deputy during the
gun battle with Marx struck the County
Administration Building, and another hit
Cumming City Hall. No one was injured
by either, according to Thompson.
Thompson said deputies had been train
ing for just such a situation right before
the shooting, with several officers com
pleting an active shooter scenario just a
day earlier.
They had also recently received special
ized training on how to deal with a court
house attack, which included at least one
scenario where someone drove a vehicle
up to the front of the courthouse and
attacked from inside of it, according to
Thompson.
Ultimately, he said that a combination
of luck, good training and “‘even a blessing
from God” kept June 6 from being much
