‘Roswell Remembers’ returns

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Standing before a majestic American flag draped around Roswell City Hall May 30, hundreds of

families turned out to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for liberty.

Now in its 23rd year, the Roswell Remembers Memorial Day event was a joint effort between the City of Roswell, Roswell Rotary and Roswell Garden Club,

which raised funds to install two markers on the side of the Faces of War memorial.

The event was put on hold for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

ATLANTA — School may be out for the summer, but the reshuffling of school attendance zones across the Fulton County School System is just getting started. “[Parents] have to stay engaged this summer…you can’t go on vacation,” joked Fulton School Board member Linda McCain, who represents Johns Creek. “But seriously, this is definitely going to change the trajectory of attendance in the North Fulton area for sure.”

Beginning in August, community meetings will be held to engage the public in the redistricting process for the 2023-24 school year. In North Fulton, 46 school attendance zones will be reviewed. “[Fulton Schools] staff is preparing for a fall 2022 redistricting team

Suspect robs employee at gunpoint, takes phone ALPHARETTA, Ga. — An unidentified robbed a 70-year-old Chick-fil-A employee at the restaurant on North Point Parkway after hours May 19.

The employee told police the assailant pointed “an automatic weapon” at him and led him to the manager’s office and asked him to open the safe, which he did not have access to.

The employee also told police the man took his phone and said he was “going to throw it outside.” The suspect then told the employee to wait in the bathroom until he left, according to the report.

Police watched security footage of the incident. The employee said the man did not take anything other than his cellphone. Police were able to locate the cellphone in a flower pot near the front door.

Police were unable to obtain fingerprints because the suspect was wearing gloves.

HOA payment check turns up in wrong hands ALPHARETTA, Ga. — An Alpharetta man

PUBLIC SAFETY reported May 20 that a check for his homeowners association was cashed but the payment wasn’t received.

The man, who lives in The Woodlands at Webb Bridge, said he hand-delivered the $520 check to the HOA’s management office in late January. He said the check had been cashed, but the management company said they never received the money.

The man said he had contacted the Roswell Police Department, who told him to file a report with Alpharetta. Police recorded the incident.

Vandal leaves paint on car parked at home ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A 70-year-old Alpharetta woman reported May 18 that someone had put white paint on her car sometime that afternoon.

The woman said she left the car in the parking lot of her home on Harris Commons Place around 1:30 p.m. When she returned to the car about two hours later, there was white paint on the hood, windshield and front left tire.

The woman said she was not aware of anyone who would have left the paint and did not have any surveillance cameras around her property. She said she had noticed some “strange incidents” with her new neighbor, but had never had any outright issues with him or anyone in her neighborhood.

The woman said she just wanted the

damage documented in case any further incidents occurred.

Care home employee helps stop fraud attempt ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A 90-year-old Alpharetta man living in Village Park assisted living facility was nearly defrauded when an unidentified person took control of his computer May 20.

The man received an email he said was from a software company claiming he had been charged $400 for a subscription renewal. The email listed a phone number to call if he hadn’t authorized the charge.

When the man called the number, he spoke with someone who confirmed the man’s bank information and said he had accidentally deposited $11,000 into the man’s bank account. The man gave the suspect remote access to his computer.

The suspect then instructed the victim to go to his bank the next Monday to finish the transaction “and not tell anyone what he was doing,” according to the report. The man thought the request was suspicious, so he told a facility care worker.

The care worker suspected a scam and contacted police. No money was lost.

Police contacted the man’s sons, who said similar situations had happened to their father before. They also said they were in the process of changing their father’s bank account information.

Two arrested in Alpharetta hotel

By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Two drug trafficking suspects were arrested at the Extended Stay hotel on Rock Mill Road May 6 after police reported finding cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana in a hotel room they were sharing.

Alpharetta police were called to the

scene by the ex-girlfriend of James Cotton, one of the suspects. The woman told police Cotton had thrown her to the ground and began to strangle her when she went to his hotel room and saw him with his new girlfriend, Mecca McCloud. The woman said she managed to kick Cotton and flee the hotel.

Officers observed blood on the woman’s throat and face and scratches on her

neck. The woman also advised that Cotton had drugs in the room and that she had seen him make multiple drug deals out of the room.

Police secured an arrest warrant for Cotton and a warrant to search his person. Police handcuffed Cotton without incident when he opened the door to the

COMMUNITY

Continued from Page 1 The Blue Star Families Memorial Marker pays tribute to those who have served, are serving and will serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, while the Gold Star Families Memorial Marker is a tribute to those who have lost a loved one in service to the country.

Immediate past president of the Garden Club of Georgia Barbara Bourque said the Gold Star Marker is a lasting reminder that both military personnel, as well as their families, sacrifice for the nation.

“The Gold Star Families know all too well the high cost of freedom, and they have paid the ultimate price,” Bourque said.

Susan Price, mother of Marine Gunnery Sgt. Aaron M. Kenefick and daughter of a Marine and Army veteran, was the Gold Star speaker. Kenefick, a 1997 Roswell High School graduate, was killed in action on Sept. 8, 2009, during an ambush in the Kunar province of Afghanistan. He is tied to two living Medal of Honor recipients Marine Cpl. Dakota Meyer and Army Capt. Will Swenson.

“Today we honor all those souls who have fought in our nation’s historical wars and given up their today for our tomorrows,” Price said. “Americans across our great nation will celebrate this day to honor our fallen through prayer, dedication services, family picnics, parades and events such as this very one here today so that we may share our heartfelt messages of remembrance and sacrifice by our loved ones, our fallen heroes.”

Price said her son was born to be a Marine.

After graduation, Kenefick enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Delayed Entry Program and entered boot camp at Parris Island, South Carolina, a few weeks later. Price said Kenefick graduated at the top of his class, carried the highest security clearance, was an honor graduate at jump school and became a part of the Marine Special Forces, where he worked

The Gold Star Families Memorial Marker is a tribute to those who have lost a loved one in service to the country. in Stuttgart, Germany, for several years.

He was selected as Marine of the Year twice in his 12-year career.

In July 2009, Price said Kenefick volunteered to be sent to Afghanistan, where he served with his Marine team as embedded trainers with the Afghanistan soldiers in one of the most critical war zones. He was killed in action six weeks and two days later.

“Being a parent and losing a child, no matter what age or circumstance, is the heaviest cross to bear in this lifetime,” Price said. “It is an unnatural order of this life. Yet, I frequently remind myself that Aaron loved his life, and he lived and experienced more at the age of 30 than many people do twice his age.”

“As a Gold Star Mother,” Price continued, “I will proclaim to you now that Gold Star Families are not defined only by the loss of our family heroes, but we are redefined by the honor and valor in which our family served our great nation in uniform.”

Alfred “Al” J. Lipphardt was the Blue Star speaker. He serves on the National

Council of Administration for the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Lipphardt also served in Vietnam from 196768 and 1970-71. In recognition of his service, he received the Bronze Star with Valor device, Bronze Star Medal for Meritorious Service, Purple Heart Medal, Army Commendation Medal for Achievement, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal and Combat Infantryman’s Badge.

At the Roswell Remembers event, Lipphardt said that less than 1 percent of the U.S. population serves in the United States Armed Forces, and he reminded the community that freedom is not free.

Suzy Crowe, a Roswell Garden Club member, helped dedicate the Blue Star marker.

“While we go out about our daily lives and while we sleep, the men and women in our Armed Forces fly our skies, sail our seas and guard our shores, ensuring our safety,” Crowe said. “They stand ready at a moment’s notice to defend our country.

Roswell votes to beef up public safety City Council votes to boost numbers of police and fire

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Elected officials are taking steps to increase public safety in Roswell.

The City Council approved a resolution May 23 to apply for a grant that would allow the city to hire nine new full-time police officers. The council also approved the first reading of a proposed $172.8 million fiscal year 2023 budget with funding to transition the Roswell Fire Department from part time to full time within the next five years.

Mayor Kurt Wilson said Roswell is the only sister city in North Fulton without a full-time fire department.

“We are blessed to have an incredible [fire] chief in Joe Pennino and his leadership and his team,” Wilson said.

“We figured it was time for our residents and for the long term, that this council and mayor take on the challenge

of funding a full-time fire department, which is a colossal challenge. That’s why it hasn’t been done in the past.”

Wilson said the city plans to share the results of a gap analysis that was done on the Roswell Fire Department at a workshop on Monday, June 13. Gap analyses are done to compare actual performance with potential or desired performance. Wilson said Roswell’s shows just how vulnerable it is with a part-time fire department, which only became more evident during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Right now, Wilson said, the Roswell Fire Department is generally fully staffed on Tuesdays, but during hunting season, there are times when it is only 50 percent staffed. Additionally, because Roswell’s firefighters are part time, they can call out to respond to their first place of employment in places like Cherokee or Gwinnett counties, leaving the city vulnerable during regional events.

The proposed fiscal year 2023 budget includes $14.9 million for the Roswell Fire Department. If approved, a portion of those funds would be used to hire 21 full-time captains. Separately, the proposed budget contains $31.3

million for the Roswell Police Department.

A second and final reading for the proposed budget is slated for June 13.

Also at the May 23 meeting, the City Council approved an application for the Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, Hiring Program Grant for $1.1 million. The money would be used to hire nine full-time officers. The city would be required to provide a minimum of 25 percent matching funds.

However, the city plans to provide a match of $2.7 million from the general fund over the four-year program period for a total of $3.8 million. Roswell police spokesman Tim Lupo told the Herald in a May 24 email the Police Department currently has 146 sworn officers and 11

vacancies.

“The greatest difficulty we experience with our recruitment efforts is owed to one of our strengths: we maintain very high standards that we won’t compromise,” Lupo stated. “In 2021, we hired just 3.5 percent of our applicant pool.”

At the meeting, the City Council also approved a resolution to apply for the U.S. Department of Justice and Bureau of Justice Assistance’s fiscal year 2022 Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant for $24,864.75. The funds will go toward replacing out-of-date, expired vests over the next two years as well as new vests

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A federal judge has sentenced Kevin Douglas Creek, a business owner and former Marine, to 27 months in prison for his involvement in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

At the May 2 sentencing, Creek, 47, of Alpharetta, was also ordered to serve 12 months of supervised release and to pay $2,000 in restitution. FBI agents arrested Creek June 9, 2021, in Johns Creek. He is the owner of Nailed It Roofing and Restoration LLC and served in the Marine Corps from 199599, according to LinkedIn. The Department of Justice states Creek faced several federal felony charges including assault on a federal officer, physical violence on Capitol grounds, obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

A criminal complaint filed in June states camera footage shows Creek striking a Metropolitan Police officer and a member of the U.S. Capitol

Police. The document also refers to financial, phone, travel and social media records that place Creek at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

The affidavit states that in a voluntary meeting May 21, 2021, Creek told the FBI he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6 but “did not remember assaulting any officer.” He also provided the FBI with a description of the clothes he was wearing on that day and the names of his traveling companions.

Then, on Dec. 1, 2021, Creek pleaded guilty to “assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers.”

“When the defendant pushed, kicked and struck these officers, the defendant knew that the officers were engaged in the performance of official duties,” Creek’s statement of offense states.

Had he been convicted of all offenses, Creek faced eight years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

Reports state Creek’s sentence is one of the longest so far handed down for any of the 22 Georgia defendants in the Capitol riot.

Roswell opts to use grant funds for water project

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The Roswell City Council unanimously voted May 23 to award $450,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds to city water line replacement projects instead of local nonprofits.

The grant is intended to provide funding to viable communities for decent housing, suitable living environments and economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. The CDBG funds are provided through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Before taking a vote, Mayor Kurt Wilson said it had been a tough decision, but a necessary one.

“I think the council and this mayor are certainly aware that this is not a politically popular thing to do and that it will garner no votes…,” Wilson said. “They’re not doing it because they don’t love our great nonprofits and charities in the city.

They’re doing it because they believe they are fulfilling the obligation of the CDBG as it is prescribed.”

Councilwoman Lee Hill moved to ap-

prove the resolution, which received a second from Councilman Mike Palermo.

It passed 5-0, with Councilman Marcelo Zapata absent.

A total of $332,500 will now go to the Roswell Public Works Department to use for the Maxwell Road water line project and $72,500 will be used for Rocky Creek Road water lines. The remainder of the funds will be used to create a consolidated plan required by HUD for the future use of CDBG funds and a consultant to weigh in on the city’s proposal.

Roswell Public Works Director Sharon Izzo and Water Utility Manager Chris Boyd said the galvanized steel pipes in the roads are 61 and 67 years old, putting them well past their serviceable life, and that they would have needed to be replaced soon regardless of the CDBG funding.

“This is just a part of what we do,” Izzo said. “They’re in an area that is eligible for CDBG funding, and we certainly appreciate the opportunity to put these projects at the very top of the list and get them executed.”

Because of their age, Boyd said that over the years, the galvanized steel pipes have leaked and caused discolored or brownish-orange water to come out of

faucets used by approximately 1,690 residents. Boyd said the discoloration is an indication of iron and manganese in the lines.

He also added that the steel pipes are covered in asbestos that can become airborne during repairs and potentially harm workers. The new lines are expected to improve low water pressure in the area, and a portion of the funds will also add a fire hydrant to the neighborhood. Both could help to prevent extensive damage in case of a fire.

Currently, Boyd said, there are only two hydrants that are spaced too far apart.

Palermo said the water line replacement is a “major, major issue that’s been going on for too long.”

“At the end of the day, I think without a doubt, we saw a lot of great projects [apply for the grant funds], but we have a lot of residents that don’t have a voice that really do deserve to be safe from these risks,” Palermo said. “… That’s certainly where I felt needs some prioritization and really should not be having the can kicked the way it has in the past few years.”

Grant Specialist Charles Alford said that traditionally, nonprofits like the

Drake House or Roswell Housing Authority have qualified for CDBG funds on a by person basis, but this year, the city chose to use a different qualification category using the low to moderate income census tract.

During public comment, representatives from Roswell nonprofits like Maggie Goldman of Family Promise of North Fulton/DeKalb said the council’s decision would negatively impact local organizations that had come to rely on the CDBG funds to help families in financial need.

Family Promise is not eligible for CDBG funding but partners with those who are such as the Drake House and HomeStretch.

“Why can’t we use American Rescue funds to make these repairs instead?”

Goldman said. “… Every missed funding opportunity is more time spent trying to find a new funding source, which reduces the amount of time staff can spend providing direct service to clients. I’m sure you can agree this is the most important work among our local nonprofits.”

Wellstar breaks ground on cancer center expansion

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — When Radiation Oncologist Dr. Mark McLaughlin joined Wellstar North Fulton Hospital more than three years ago, he says he immediately sought to create a cancer center program to offer patients both radiation and technologically advanced care.

On May 25, his vision began to take shape with a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate Wellstar North Fulton Hospital’s $12 million investment to expand its cancer center program over the next year.

“I wanted to do something different to reach out and create something new here that patients didn’t have, so I’m thrilled to be here today to celebrate not only the North Fulton Cancer Center, but the exciting addition of CyberKnife radiation oncology technology to this campus and to this Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek area,” McLaughlin said. “It’s going to be really incredible.”

Wellstar North Fulton Hospital President Jon-Paul Croom, who credited McLaughlin with spearheading the project, said the addition of 12,000 square feet of space to the cancer center will help to offer the community all aspects of diagnosis, staging and treatment of cancers in their own backyard.

“This is something that we know will transform lives – lives of people that you know have cancer and people you don’t even know have cancer yet in this community – and soon everyone will be able to get all their cancer care in one place close to home without having to travel,” Croom said.

Once completed, the North Fulton Cancer Center will house surgical, medical and radiation oncology, and a CyberKnife system that can treat anything from brain tumors to prostate cancers and lung cancers.

CyberKnife technology is a non-invasive option for surgically complex or inoperable tumors that enables radiation oncologists to deliver targeted, high doses of radiation while requiring no anesthesia, hospitalization or lengthy recovery period.

McLaughlin said it can often take between five and eight weeks for cancer patients to receive radiation treatment. But, with CyberKnife, treatment is reduced

Staff at Wellstar North Fulton Hospital break ground on its cancer center program expansion. The project is expected to be completed over the next year and cost approximately $12 million. to just one to five days. Wellstar North Fulton Hospital is set to become one of two hospitals in Metro Atlanta with CyberKnife technology.

“What a difference…,” McLaughlin said. “We can use that type of procedure to treat patients and really hone in on the cancer while minimizing radiation exposure to normal tissues. That increases the cure rates and minimizes the side effects. Currently, the closest CyberKnife is in Marietta and it’s one of the five busiest CyberKnife’s in the world.”

Mary Chatman, a nurse, Wellstar Health System executive vice president and president of Wellstar

Kennestone and Windy Hill hospitals, said the project serves as an example of how Wellstar works to treat “every person, every time based upon what their needs are.”

“We’re trailblazers,” Chapman said. “We’re not afraid to push the edge, we’re not afraid to ask the right questions, and when we set forward on a vision, we try to equip ourselves with the right people in the right place who want to do the right thing for the right reasons. …

We want to take care of this community together.”

The new North Fulton Cancer Center is expected to open in early 2023.

The city would be required to provide a 50 percent match of up to $49,729.50, bringing the cost to $994.59 for each vest.

According to the city, the matching funds are available in the police department’s Machinery Equipment Operating budget.

Lastly, the City Council approved a contract with Killer Creek Harley-Davidson to purchase 10 FLHTP Electra Glide Police Motorcycles with custom up-fitting for $304,595.

The fiscal year 2022 mid-year budget amendment will appropriate $300,000, and the additional $4,595 will be transferred from the city’s Capital Contingency account. Staff will surplus the existing police motorcycle fleet using the option that will give the city the best financial return at the time of disposal, either through online public auction or direct sale to Killer Creek Harley-Davidson.

The dealer was the sole bidder for the replacement project.

Nonprofits: Continued from Page 7 Catholic Church also said that during a Transportation Committee meeting in April, staff with the Public Works Department had said that the water in the affected neighborhood was not harmful to drink. “[Low to moderate income] residents deserve to have their water lines maintained and replaced just like any other core water customer is in an enterprisefunded utility system,” Tom Merrick said.

“That should not require funding from CDBG when there is no real impact or hazard to LMI lives. I want to reiterate that asbestos cement pipe is not a hazard to the water quality for the residents of Roswell. Please do not make the error in thinking that we are in Flint, Michigan.

This is not a lead pipe problem.”

Wilson said that as someone who financially contributes to many local nonprofits, the vote on May 23 was not meant as an affront toward them.

“It was meant as trying to serve what was the intent of CDBG and recognizing that the two communities these water lines are serving are ostensibly and principally serving people who do not … even have a voice through a nonprofit,” Wilson said. “… This is something where we have the wherewithal through CDBG to do something about it. … I understand that people are mad at us about that, but I want you to know that we seriously intended to try to do the right thing, as we understood the program’s intention.”

Residential development begins off State Bridge

By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Providence Group of Georgia has broken ground on a new 128-home neighborhood in Johns Creek.

The subdivision, Ward’s Crossing, lies just off State Bridge Road adjacent to Johns Creek High School. Ward’s Crossing will consist of 24 singlefamily detached homes, 75 three-story townhomes and 29 two-story townhomes. Billed as a “swim club community,” the neighborhood will be gated and include a swim club and cabana.

“For 20 years, The Providence Group has developed, built and managed some of the most beloved communities throughout the Southeast,” Providence Group President Warren Jolly said. “We are very intentional with our development pursuits and have succeeded in developing new neighborhoods by investing the necessary resources upfront to ensure everyone impacted can have a clear understanding of what we are trying to do.”

The Providence Group, a subsidiary of Texas-based Green Brick Partners, also developed the Bellmoore Park neighborhood in Johns Creek and the Waterside neighborhood in Peachtree

Corners. The company has been in talks with the city and residents of the adjacent neighborhood to address concerns and navigate zoning and building requirements for Ward’s Crossing.

All of the homes in the neighborhood will be for-sale. The Providence Group has not yet released information on expected home prices. Construction on homes is expected to begin in the first few months of 2023, with closings set for near the end of 2023.

Redistricting: Continued from Page 1 to review current attendance boundaries using the district’s procedure for revising school attendance boundaries,” said Yngrid Huff, executive director of Operational Planning.

In North Fulton, redistricting will focus primarily on enrollment imbalances in elementary schools. However, any adjustments to elementary zones will likely tweak current feeder patterns to middle and high schools.

Unfinished business

Another priority is re-setting the attendance zone for the replacement Crabapple Middle School which opened last year off Woodstock Road. Despite the relocation of the school from its original site, attendance lines were not adjusted. Currently the school is 400 students below the building capacity.

The future of Haynes Bridge and Holcomb Bridge middle schools – both with low enrollment - will also be examined during the redistricting process.

McCain said parents need to be involved in the process because it’s been more than a decade since a large-scale redistricting was undertaken in North Fulton. The last occurred in 2011 with the opening of Cambridge High School 2012.

Declining enrollment over the past decade across the North Fulton region has led to some schools near capacity while other schools are half full.

“Once upon a time everybody was very familiar with all of our [redistrict-

NEWS

ing] policies,” McCain said, noting the early 2000s when rising enrollment meant redistricting occurred frequently. “We’re going to listen to what the communities are saying…so this is your chance to be heard.”

A plan for middle schools

Haynes Bridge and Holcomb Bridge middle schools are among the older schools in the Alpharetta/Roswell region. Combined, the two schools have fewer than 1,250 students – nearly half other area middle schools – and aging infrastructure in need of upgrades.

Chief Operations Officer Noel Maloof said Fulton Schools is looking at a variety of options for the two schools in the five-year capital plan.

For Holcomb Bridge the options include rebuilding the school for a smaller student capacity. A second option is converting it into a K-8 academy and combining its enrollment with neighboring elementary schools.

For Haynes Bridge, the options include updating critical systems, but basically leaving it “as is” until the next capital plan in five years.

A third option would be to combine Holcomb Bridge and Haynes Bridge into one traditional middle school and expanding the attendance zone.

These ideas will be included in the redistricting process conversations within the community to gather input, Maloof noted.

“We must first consider how decisions will improve student academic outcomes,” Maloof said. “We also need to be aware of the responsibility we have to be good stewards of taxpayer resources...and make sure decisions are [made] with community input.”

Officers located 29 grams of methamphetamine, 21 grams of cocaine and 11.3 ounces of marijuana inside the hotel room. No drugs were found inside Cotton’s car.

Police interviewed McCloud in a separate hotel room.

Sometimes, it really makes you wonder

PAT FOX

Managing Editor pat@appenmedia.com

I crossed paths with a young gentleman carrying a bag of groceries in the parking lot of a local market recently.

He looked like any normal guy you’d run across anywhere, except for his T -shirt.

In big letters on the front: “Trump

Won.” Now, everyone, at one time or another loves to stir the pot a bit, and maybe that’s what this guy was all about. Maybe he wore the shirt to his job to get some attention. Failing that, then maybe a stroll down the dental hygiene aisle at Kroger would draw some stares.

If by chance he really was serious, then he is among an alarming multitude who subscribe to the biggest fantasy in my lifetime.

For the record – and you probably already know this – there have been 62 lawsuits filed in state and federal courts contesting the 2020 presidential election. All but one has been dis-

missed, declined or ruled ridiculous.

The only case that succeeded was in Pennsylvania where a judge sided with the Trump campaign’s argument that voters should not have been allowed three days after the election to provide proper identification in order to validate – or cure – their mail-in ballot.

Detractors place the number of votes cured at a “few,” but it was more than that. Election officials in Montgomery County, Pa., alone estimated the number there at just under 100.

Even if all those cured ballots were for Biden – and there’s no evidence they were – to argue that a corrupt curing process could have overturned Biden’s 81,600 vote margin in the state is ludicrous.

The point here is that the 2020 election was not stolen. There is no fact – not anywhere – to argue the contrary.

Americans can believe there is a border crisis. They can believe the government should do more to foster gas production in the United States.

They can even believe that more care should be taken in addressing how elections are conducted. Those are not lies. Evidence exists to make a case for

But “Trump Won” is a lie.

I feel sorry for those who believe it.

Many times, I have voted for presidential candidates – Republican and Democrat – who have lost. It hurt some, but I got over it. The next day, I joined millions of others who resumed life in reality.

I thought about this very thing the other night while watching the lunar eclipse from my backyard. Fascinating stuff, seeing Earth’s curved shadow creep across the silver face of the moon.

It then occurred to me what sort of damage this could be doing to the Flat

Earth Society. How could they reconcile it?

They would have to create an alternate reality to refute celestial evidence on display above an entire continent.

Their latest theory, it turns out, is that what we saw the night of May 15 was a mysterious “shadow object” that orbits the sun, and from time to time passes between the Earth and moon.

The smart play here would be for the Flat Earthers to file 62 lawsuits attesting to this so “shadow object” theory could be incorporated into the public school science curriculum.

McBath wins Democratic primary; Residents elect new slate Republicans set for June 21 runoff of School Board members

By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com METRO ATLANTA — Democrat Lucy McBath won the Democratic primary, while Republicans Michael Corbin and Mark Gonsalves are headed to a runoff for the District 7 U.S. House of Representatives seat.

According to results from the Georgia Secretary of State’s office late Tuesday, McBath received around 63.4 percent of the Democratic vote, a commanding lead over incumbent Carolyn Bourdeaux, who had garnered 31 percent. On the Republican side, Corbin had received 41.4 percent of the vote compared to Gonsalves at 26.22 percent.

Because neither GOP candidate garnered more than 50 percent of the vote, the two will advance to a June 21 runoff.

Lisa McCoy finished third in the fivecandidate Republican primary with about 14.8 percent.

McBath has represented the 6th District since 2019, and because of redistricting, moved her candidacy to the 7th District. Bourdeaux took the 7th District seat in the 2020 election.

Early voting for the Republican primary runoff begins June 13. The winner will go on to face McBath in the Nov. 8 general election.

Corbin’s campaign has honed in on curbing inflation and rising gas prices.

Gonsalves has focused on opposing COVID-19 mandates, securing the U.S. border and reducing the national debt.

McBath’s campaign has focused on curbing gun violence and expanding access to healthcare and education.

Republican State House candidates head to runoff in districts 24, 50 NORTH METRO ATLANTA — The Republican race for Georgia State House District 24 will head to a runoff, according to election results.

Sheri Smallwood Gilligan received the most votes, polling at 49.44 percent as of late Tuesday. Carter Barrett received 42 percent. Both will face off in a June 21 primary.

Ed Solly, the third candidate in the race, garnered about 8.5 percent of the vote.

The runoff winner will face Democrat Sydney Walker in the Nov. 8 general election. Walker ran unopposed.

The Republican race for House District 50 is also up in the air.

The latest results have Betsy

Kramer with just over 46 percent of the vote. Narender Reddy is in second with 28.12 percent and will advance to the runoff against Kramer. Jill Trammel polled third with 25.8 percent of the vote.

Kramer’s campaign has focused on eliminating the state’s income tax, supporting school choice and fighting critical race theory. Reddy’s campaign has honed in on securing elections, empowering law enforcement and cutting state income tax.

The winner will face Democrat Michelle Au in the Nov. 8 general election. Au ran unopposed in the primary.

Early in-person voting will begin by June 13.

Are you struggling with CPAP?

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — North Fulton County voters have chosen a new slate of faces for the state’s fourth largest school system.

At around 2 p.m. on May 25, unofficial results from Fulton County showed Lillie Pozatek had secured the District 2 School Board seat after capturing 51.69 percent of the vote. She is set to replace incumbent Katie Reeves, who did not seek re-election and represents Alpharetta and Milton.

As an educator, parent volunteer and businesswoman, Pozatek ran on bringing results-driven leadership to the table. Her opponent, Brittany Griffin, garnered 48.31 percent of the vote.

Latest results show Kristin McCabe was ahead of Kimberly Ware for the District 5 School Board seat, formerly held by Linda McCain, with 57.69 percent of the vote. Ware garnered 42.31 percent. The district includes Johns Creek and Alpharetta.

On May 9, McCabe told Appen Me-

dia she has been a resident of Johns Creek for the past 18 years and earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of South Florida. Her husband, Dan, was a founding Johns Creek City Council member, and she has been engaged with Fulton County Schools for the past 15 years.

In District 7, Michelle Morancie secured 50.49 percent of the vote. Her opponent, Phil Chen, received 49.51 percent. The District 7 school board seat was held by former Fulton County Board of Education President Julia Bernath, who did not seek re-election.

The district includes Sandy Springs and Roswell.

Morancie, a licensed psychologist who worked in public schools for over 30 years, said in March that in order to build staff morale and slow the exodus of teachers and clinical staff, she would like to create an atmosphere of collaboration with administrators where their needs are heard and addressed.

Fulton County School Board positions are non-partisan.

18 percent.

Martin was first elected to the seat in 2002 after serving as the mayor of Alpharetta. His 2022 campaign focuses on lowering taxes, improving healthcare access and implementing community policing initiatives.

Conducting your due diligence Brought to you by - Caroline Nalisnick, The Kloster Group at HOME Real Estate, caroline@homegeorgia. com You’ve spent months searching for the right home and you’ve just received the call that your offer is being selected and you are finally under contract! What comes next in the process?

Georgia is a “buyer beware” state. This essentially means that a buyer is responsible for doing their homework to learn of any defects in a home before purchasing the home. This is typically done during the due diligence period where a buyer can NALISNICK walk from the contract for any reason or no reason at all. The record low inventory levels combined with a record high number of buyers has pushed the market to write offers with more and

more competitive terms.

In the past two years, we have quickly moved from a world where 10-14 days was typical for a due diligence period and now most contracts have a maximum of 2-5 days. Many have even had to offer zero days to get their offer accepted! In an ideal world, a buyer would complete all their desired inspections, bring contractors to the house to quote repairs or renovations, research schools and the area, negotiate repairs, and more. This leads to a big question – how is a buyer supposed to get all of this done in so little time?

The unfortunate truth is that too many buyers are not only choosing to waive their due diligence contingency, but they are also foregoing their inspections all together. The importance of completing your due diligence prior to closing on your home purchase continues to be equally as important as it has been in the past - you might just be completing this earlier in the process or outside of a contingency period.

The contract is typically held together by a negotiated amount of earnest money that demonstrates to the seller that the buyer truly intends to purchase the home. Once the contingency periods have ended,

the earnest money becomes at risk should the buyer default on the contract.

While a buyer might have a substantial amount of earnest money on the line, it is still critical for the buyer to have a full understanding of the homes condition they are purchasing. With the findings from the inspection, a buyer will be able to comprehend the full financial commitment they are making in this purchase. This is the true purpose and value behind the due diligence period.

If you are working with an experienced fullservice Realtor like The Kloster Group, you’ll be guided throughout the entire home buying process.

An experienced agent will help to provide resources and contacts to do the necessary area research early on in your search for the right home so that you can focus on home specific questions after going under contract. An experienced agent will also help share their knowledge and connect you with vetted service providers to quickly work through inspection concerns, estimated repair costs, renovation experiences, and survey issues to help give you the confidence you need to move forward in the buying process.

Avoiding common design mistakes…

Brought to you by - Riccardo Apreda, Tuscany Fine Furnishings Allow me to share some common mistakes that can be avoided or easily corrected once they occur saving you time and money.

Don’t hang artwork at the wrong height. When determining the proper height consider how it is being viewed.

Most pieces should be hung at eye level. A collection that is being hung together should center on the primary frame of interest allowing the others to be placed above, below and alongside.

Don’t have an overabundance of throw pillows. Knowing that pillows can bring an accent of color and comfort to a chair or sofa, realize that they can also become a nuisance when one actually sits on the furniture. Too many simply create clutter without rhyme or reason.

Don’t blindly follow trends. Just as one selects their wardrobe consider what works best for your individual taste and style. Today’s trends may suit you which is all well and good, however consider how you may feel about

your choices after having lived with them for a few years.

Trends are appropriate when you can stay current with them.

Don’t go over the top with decorative wall painting.

A stenciled border may indeed embellish your décor, however a gilded ceiling may be an inappropriate feature when not carefully thought out.

Don’t push furniture against the walls. Create a space that welcomes and encourages conversation. A sofa that is flanking a wall across chairs that are flanked on an opposite wall with a vast space between them only creates an unwanted void. Positioning the sofa even a foot off the wall and floating the chairs can prove to make the space inviting and cohesive in design.

Don’t hang on to pieces that no longer serve you.

Those items that once held a purpose in your décor but no longer hold relevance to your style or design should be eliminated freeing your space of undesired clutter.

Don’t ignore practical needs. Always consider how the space will be used, keeping function and design a priority before making a selection. Nothing can bring about a

sense of regret more quickly than a ruined piece of furniture, rug or object of art due to children being children or pets being pets.

Don’t design without plan. Perhaps I should have place this at the top of my list, if you are not completely comfortable in creating your vision consult a professional.

They will assure your confidence, save you time and money.

Can the pace of home remodeling continue?

Brought to you by - Remodeling Expo Center Throughout 2021 home remodeling seemed virtually unaffected by the Covid pandemic. Home sales continue to be robust, but the pace of home remodeling is even greater. New home buyers tend to remodel as soon as they move into their new home, but the remodeling craze seems to apply to everyone. “Our Kitchen and Bathroom remodeling business has experienced a 75% year over year increase” says John Hogan, president of Remodeling Expo Center, “and we don’t see any slowdown in sight”.

There’s been a rapid change to supply chains in our entire economy and while some businesses are suffering, others are prospering. Demand for products and services are at record levels and businesses are required to re-think their supply chain from end to end; those businesses that creatively maneuver around the supply chain issues are

prospering.

“Last year we re-focused all of our purchasing to those suppliers with local inventory, so we get instant access to products, then we diverted custom built products to smaller, more nimble suppliers, and finally we began to inventory some items so our remodeling jobs could get started faster and eliminate job progress interruptions.

These changes weren’t easy but without them we couldn’t be in the hyper-growth mode that we’re presently experiencing, says Bobbie Kohm, Vice President of Remodeling Expo Center, “Turnkey Design-Build companies, like us, keep the process very simple”.

Low interest rates are going to be around for a long time and investment in our homes is likely to continue. For more information on Remodeling Expo Center (RemodelingExpo.com), contact them at their showroom at 48 King Street in Roswell or at 404-910-3969.

Brought to you by - Bill Rawlings, Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International As a homeowner, the costs of adding to or upgrading the hardscape elements of your home to increase curb appeal will probably be among the highest in your budget. However, with a little planning, it is possible to make improvements without breaking the bank.

For those without a background in landscape design, hardscape is an industry term used to refer to all the brickand-mortar and concrete elements of a home’s overall landscaping. It exists to prevent water absorption and protect RAWLINGS a property’s structural integrity. Visually, hardscape helps to pull the yard together and define its boundaries. In contrast, soft scaping is all about the horticulture that typically fills in the boundaries established by stone walls and benches, driveways, paved walkways and patios.

Obviously, the cost of a hardscaping project depends on the kind of upgrade or addition. For example, adding a garden pathway will be much cheaper than building an outdoor kitchen, and it is helpful to remember that a few smaller projects can often add up to a considerable difference. For larger projects, here are a few tips to help keep costs down as much as possible: 1. Don’t rush the planning.

Paid Content Continued from Page 27 to add or upgrade. Then sit down and decide what you can reasonably afford to spend. Finally, if you can afford it, hire an independent landscape designer to plan your project because you will be able to use that design to get solid quotes from multiple hardscape installers instead of going with the first price quoted to you by a contractor and in-house designer.

2. Shop around for materials.

Make sure you know what materials are available for your project, as well as their quality. Sometimes there are locally produced options that are cheaper and

easier to source, and this can significantly lower your cost.

3. Complete your project in phases.

Spacing out the completion of a large upgrade into several smaller steps gives you the freedom to pay as you go instead of putting a large strain on your bank account all at once.

Whether you stay in your home or decide to sell, hardscape upgrades add value and are a good investment. If you need assistance renovating your home or have any other real estate needs, please contact Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty at 770.442.7300. We would be happy to assist you!

In Memoriam

Jean Fulmer Rogers

Jean Fulmer Rogers, 84, of Alpharetta, GA died early Thursday, May 19, at AccentCare Hospice in Cumming, GA after recent hospitalizations, from pneumonia.

Jean was born June 25, 1937 in Florence, AL, moved as a young child to Chattanooga, TN where her mother operated a family grocery and her father a concrete contracting business. She graduated from Chattanooga High School the same year she married her husband of 67 years, James T. Rogers ( Jim). This would be an enduring union, initiated not as much by their familiarity at the local St. James Methodist church as by calculated “chance” encounters outside her house under a big oak that gave shade to the car he parked there several blocks from his grocery store job, and to her determination that she had found the one guy for her. He of course was clueless to this but was happily enthralled thereafter by her pluck and resourcefulness that complemented so well his more cautious methodical approach to life.

Jean and Jim started their life together after her high school graduation and his graduation from University of Chattanooga and as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army in Ft. Sill, OK. There they welcomed first child Deborah within their first year of marriage and a few years later by son Jim after the couple had left the army for civilian life and career back in Chattanooga, to be followed shortly by their third child, Patricia.

Jean’s focus and care from that start to the end of her long life was her family. She loved the beach and was a loyal confidant to friends and to many within her family, including loving relationships with the spouses and friends of her children. Jean held several executive assistant positions throughout an extended working career, starting back in Chattanooga and at each location the family settled. Jean and Jim moved to Elba, Alabama where they raised their children from 1969 to

1980. There Jean worked as the assistant to the superintendent of schools; then to Montgomery after the kids had left for college where she worked for the president of Huntingdon College; and finally to Atlanta in 1983 where Jean served as assistant to the CEO of a large graphic printing company until her retirement in 1990, and where the kids eventually followed to pursue their careers. In retirement she shifted her loving attention and care to her aging mother and motherin-law, both who lived into their early 90s, and other ailing family members.

Jean was a member of Alpharetta First United Methodist Church since 1987 that became their final church home in a beloved community that they selected for retirement, and where she helped raise and spoil four grandkids.

Jean is preceded in death by her parents, Q.D. Fulmer and Pearl Broadfoot; her brother, James Herndon Fulmer; and her daughter, Deborah Jean (2015). She is survived by husband, Jim; son, Jim (Ximena); daughter, Tricia (Doug); and four grandchildren, Alex Green (Alexis); Jim Rogers III; Harrison Green; and Hannah Rogers.

A memorial service for Jean will be held Sunday, May 22 at 4 p.m. at Alpharetta First United Methodist Church. The family will receive friends in the church narthex shortly before the service in the main sanctuary, followed by a reception for all friends and family.

Funeral service and interment will be held the following day, Monday, May 23 at 3 p.m. at Chattanooga Memorial Park cemetery (501 Memorial Dr., Red Bank, TN 37415). Family and friends are invited.

Funeral arrangements are being coordinated through Northside Chapel (www.northsidechapel.com), Roswell, GA. Donations in lieu of flowers are suggested and should be made to Alpharetta First Unit Methodist Church.
