County OKs parkland swap for Polo Fields Scores of residents turn out for decision By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Close to 100 residents showed up Feb. 3 as the Forsyth County Commission voted to swap a portion of the new Denmark Park for property developed for sports at the Polo Fields. The vote was 5-0. The deal cedes just under two-thirds of Denmark Park – 50 acres – for almost 39 acres at Polo Fields, including its six soccer fields. In all, 19 residents addressed commissioners on the issue during public comment. Sentiment was split almost evenly. Resident Lisa Calloway spoke passionately against the land swap, accusing the county of shrouding the deal in secrecy up until the vote. As the commission approved the purchase of Polo Fields, she and several other residents opposed to the deal stood up and left the chamber. Residents in favor of the deal applauded. “They told us in December they would have a town hall, and they didn’t,” Calloway said as she exited the commission chambers. “We all come to this meeting and make a public comment, but it was very clear that they had already decided.” Resident Mike Melz spoke to commissioners in favor of preserving the Polo Fields. He said the fields have become one of

Area faith leaders launch scholarship for Blacks uprooted over racial turmoil By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com

A crowd of more than 100 gathered in the Forsyth County commission chamber for the Feb. 3 meeting. The commission unanimously approved a land swap, ceding part of Denmark Park to purchase almost 39 acres at Polo Fields. Forsyth County’s historical landmarks, the “crown jewel” of the county. Speaking after the vote, Melz said he was gratified the Polo Fields will be preserved. “When you look at the history of the Polo Fields, Prince Charles played polo there with the British royal polo team,” Melz said. “That’s history. That is definitively
something to cherish.” Melz said he wasn’t thrilled about the possibility of Denmark Park land being developed into houses, but that it made more sense to give up the park. Under terms of the agreement, the coun-

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Faith leaders from across Forsyth County announced Feb. 1 the launch of a scholarship for the descendants of African Americans who were driven out of the county in the early 1900s. The African American Descendants of Forsyth Scholarship will award up to $10,000 per year per recipient for a four-year scholarship, with the goal of serving at least 10 students in the first year. The number of recipients and money awarded is contingent on the amount of money the scholarship raises until the application review process begins. The racial expulsion in Forsyth County began when Robert Edwards, a Black man, was accused of beating and raping 18-year-old Mae Crow, who later died of her injuries. Edwards was arrested, but a mob of White residents broke into the jail and killed him. White residents later hanged two Black teenagers. White residents soon used threats of violence to drive the around 1,000 Black residents out of their homes

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell Police Department is mourning the death of 43-yearold Lt. Joel Ruff, who died Thursday morning of a medical emergency while on duty. Roswell Police spokesman Tim Lupo said the department was “heartbroken” to share the news but did not share details on the circumstances of his death. Ruff was a 23-year veteran of the force. His most recent assignment, Lupo said, was serving as a watch commander for one of the department’s nightshift patrol squads. “Before he ever pinned on his first badge, Lt. Ruff knew in his heart that service to our Roswell community was his calling,” Lupo said. “He began his career as one of our youth Police Explorers in 1995 and confirmed his passion for police work when he took his oath of office in 1998.” “The joy and pride he found in leading his men and women was infectious,” Lupo continued, “and there was nothing he would not do or give of himself to see them succeed. His presence is irreplaceable, and his memory unforgettable. Lieutenant, rest easy. We have the watch
from here.” According to his LinkedIn, Ruff had experience in uniform patrol operations, conducting criminal investigations and law enforcement intelligence. Within an hour of sharing the news in a Facebook post, the Roswell Police Department received over 500 likes, 106 comments and 126 shares. Jason Carter, who left a comment under the post, called Ruff “a great man and one hell of a detective.” “Most people in this thread have already forgotten about the Bicycle Bandit, a bank robber from a few years back,” Carter said. “Lt. Ruff cracked the case.” In 2008, authorities charged a 47-year-old man for twice robbing a Bank of America on Alpharetta Highway. In both instances, the suspect escaped on a bicycle. At the time, authorities in five counties said several banks had been robbed by a “bicycle riding bandit.” Another comment from Betty Honey said Ruff was a nice person and good officer who had always been so helpful to those at the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office. Tracy Cocquyt-McKernan echoed those thoughts. “My heart breaks for all of you at RPD and his family,” Cocquyt-McKernan

Election year General Assembly focuses on education issues Guns, curriculum, biology head list of proposed bills By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmedia.com ATLANTA — In the opening days of the 2021-22 legislative session, hot button education issues related to curriculum, books, athlete “biology” and firearms in schools have signaled lively debate ahead for state lawmakers. The House and Senate convened Jan. 10 in Atlanta for the second half of the two-year session, slated to end on April 4. The later than normal end to the 40-day session was a bit surprising, especially in an election year with every legislative seat – House and Senate – in play. Under state law, legislators cannot fundraise while in session. In most years, the General Assembly is out by the end of March. House and Senate leaders explained staffing shortages related to the ongoing pandemic means employees need additional time to manage the workload. In addition to new bills introduced this year, lawmakers can also consider any leftover legislation from last session.

Bills introduced in 2021 which saw no final action – pass or fail – can be picked up again for debate. The key date for bill sponsors is Crossover Day on March 15. Bills that have not passed their originating chamber, either the House or Senate, by that date are considered dead for the year. But, with politics nothing is ever really dead. Failed bills are often resur-

rected and attached as amendments to other bills, known as “Christmas tree” legislation. The number of headline-grabbing legislation in play already this session is not a surprise to education legislation watchers. Controversial topics that fire up bases are the norm on the campaign trail. “Keep in mind it is an election year,” noted Angela Palm, director of policy and legislative services for the Georgia School Boards Association. “That sometimes makes it harder to separate the serious from the soundbite.” In her Capital Watch blog, Palm noted issues related to what is being taught in K-12 schools, who decides, who approves, and the role of parents in the classroom will be on the table. A look at bills currently under discussion in the legislature: Firearms in schools Sponsored by Rep. Joseph Gullett (R-Dallas), House Bill 903 is called the “Second Amendment Restoration and Protection Act.” It expands the possession of weapons or long guns by individuals within a school safety zone, at a school function, or on a bus to all legal license holders. In 2014, the state restrictions on
weapons in school safety zones were eased. School districts which could not afford campus police officers were allowed to designate security personnel to carry weapons on campus. HB 903 seeks to extend that privilege to all legally licensed individuals, allowing them to carry weapons within school safety zones and other areas if approved by the local school board. The bill also seeks to expand existing state law for those who have locked firearms in their vehicles while on campus. Currently the law only applies to those over 21 legally allowed to carry weapons. HB 903 would expand that provision to students. Critical Race Theory Last summer members of the Georgia Board of Education voted 11-2 to pass a resolution banning the teaching of racebased curriculum, commonly referenced as Critical Race Theory. Gov. Brian Kemp urged school systems to do the same in his State of the State address last month. The resolution had little impact on curriculum, because the Georgia Board of Education does not approve curriculum, but it was a shot across the bow. In the first week of the legislative session, three bills have already been filed.

Elections Board poised for decision on early voting By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Board of Voter Registrations and Elections prepared to move forward with plans for the upcoming 2022 elections at its Feb. 1 meeting. The board will hold a special called session at noon Feb. 11, when it is set to vote on the proposed voting precinct and polling location map to serve the county’s more than 172,000 registered voters. The proposed map is available to view on the county’s website, forsythco. com, along with a public comment form for residents to provide feedback. Board member Joel Natt discussed results from another online public input form regarding advance voting dates and hours for the county. The survey asks whether respondents typically participate in advance voting, the time of day they prefer to vote and whether they would vote on Sunday if polls were open. Natt said the survey has garnered about 90 responses thus far, with around an even split on those who would and would not consider voting on Sunday. The survey will remain available until 5 p.m. on Feb. 10 at forsythco.

on the subject on Feb. 11. The meeting garnered considerable public interest, with nearly all of the available seating in the meeting room filled. The board voted at Tuesday’s meeting to agree to host the election for the
county’s Georgia Soil and Water Conservation District supervisor in November. Candidates for the position will appear on the Nov. 8 general election ballot. Tuesday’s meeting was the last regularly scheduled meeting for Randy Ingram, one of the Democratic appointees to the board, who has served since 2015 and is resigning effective Feb. 28. The board presented a resolution thanking Ingram for his service. Ingram will remain in his role for the board’s Feb. 11 special called session. In March, Anita Tucker will assume Ingram’s seat. Elections Department Director Mandi Smith also noted that the department is still looking for poll workers to staff upcoming elections. The department held 10 meet and greet sessions throughout January to recruit poll workers, and Smith said over 150 people attended. The department has eight more sessions planned through February. Early in-person voting for the May 24 general primary election will begin May 2. Early in-person voting for the Nov. 8 general election will begin Oct. 17.
We believe Roswell’s residents and visitors alike will really resonate with the Kimpton brand MIKE DEFRINO, Kimpton Hotels CEO 8 | Forsyth Herald | February 10, 2022
Kimpton lays plans for Roswell’s first boutique hotel By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — San Francisco-based Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants announced Jan. 26 it will open a muchanticipated boutique hotel in Historic Downtown Roswell in early 2024. Kimpton, part of IHG Hotels and Resorts’ Luxury and Lifestyle Collection, says the hotel will feature 125 guest rooms, including 20 suites, nearly 6,500 square feet of indoor meetings and events space, an 11,000-squarefoot courtyard, fitness center, a rooftop and ground-floor restaurant with bar. The three-story hotel will also offer guests amenities and offerings including morning coffee and tea service, hosted evening social hour, pet-friendly policies, bicycles for local exploration and a “Forgot it? We got it!” program. The Kimpton is meant to complement the vision of True North Companies’ West Alley mixed-use development and transform the underdeveloped site along Mimosa Boulevard and Magnolia Street into a destination for visitors and residents. The project has been in the works for at least five years. In August, the Roswell City Council approved site plan changes to allow private developer West Alley LLC to move forward with the project after an agreement with Canton Place Development broke down in 2020. Kimpton CEO Mike DeFrino said the company has found great success so far with its brand expansion in the South, especially in Georgia. The new Kimpton marks the brand’s fifth

tasked with the interior design of the hotel. The hotel will be managed by HEI Hotels and Resorts, which is headquartered in Connecticut. Thanks to its expansive green space and 397 parking spaces, Kimpton said West Alley Roswell will serve as a hub for events, festivals and other community gatherings. The new Kimpton will then act as an anchor, providing visitors with a place to grab a bite to eat, a drink with friends or a much-needed staycation. It should also give visiting leisure and business guests a central
hub to explore and enjoy all the city has to offer. True North Companies President Walt Gill said he’s honored to be working with HEI and Kimpton to “elevate a new brand of Southern hospitality in the heart of Roswell.” “Their expertise and accomplishments in designing and delivering unparalleled experiences will allow us to provide a one-of-a-kind destination for the city’s leisure guests and its corporate travelers alike,” Gill said.

East Roswell’s dining scene to grow with Bask Steakhouse Owners lay plans for spring opening By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The owners of From the Earth Brewing Company are bringing a fresh, new and different dining option to east Roswell called Bask Steakhouse. Think upscale, white tablecloth service with a focus on prime meats and seafood. Bask will also offer a beverage package including a diverse wine selection, prohibition-style cocktails and barrel-aged beers. It is expected to open next to From the Earth inside the Connexion Plaza on Holcomb Bridge Road in mid to late spring. Kale Me Crazy and Taco Tsunami are also located inside the shopping center. Owners Tim and Lisa Stevens said the name itself, Bask, embodies the overall experience they hope to create. “It’s like ‘basking in the glory,’” Tim said. “It’s supposed to be something that’s experienced through the atmosphere, through the service and through the beverage program. We want every part to be memorable.”
It’s supposed to be something that’s experienced through the atmosphere, through the service and through the beverage program. We want every part to be memorable.” — TIM STEVENS, Bask Steakhouseo-owner The project has been in the works for the past two years. Initially, it was going to be an expansion of From the Earth, but Tim said the concept quickly changed into a steakhouse because there are none east of Ga. 400 from the Perimeter to Cumming. The area is mostly residential and the only upscale eatery in the area is Di Paolo’s Italian restaurant, which Tim said he and his wife visit often. “There is a big need for this,” Tim said. “We’re excited to open and bring a different option to east Roswell.” Roswell Inc Executive Director Steve Stroud said although Roswell as a whole has quite a dining scene with over 200 chef-driven family-owned nonfranchise restaurants, Bask will help to attract simi-

It is expected to open next to From the Earth inside the Connexion Plaza on Holcomb Bridge Road in mid to late spring. lar businesses to east Roswell. He added that the area has been slowly growing with development and transportation opportunities coming in around the Ga. 400 intersection, Holcomb Bridge intersection, Grimes Bridge and the new bridge at Big Creek Parkway. “All of those will help bring more activity and more restaurants to the area,” Stroud said. “… We’re always looking for opportunities to make sure we’ve got the right mix of businesses because we want people to be able to shop and dine here. There are lots of properties around the Ga. 400 intersection that have the opportunity to be redeveloped, and we see some of the current tenants growing too.” “I grew up in east Roswell,” he said. “It’s an important part of the city. With these connections between east and west being greater than just Ga. 400, we change the dynamic dramatically. We give exposure to these businesses that might not otherwise be as successful if they don’t have as many folks through their doors.” So, while the From the Earth and Bask will sit side-by-side, Bask will be an entirely different concept. The steakhouse will occupy a smaller, more intimate space, allowing for features such as a tableside cocktail service. Tim said this one-on-one guest experience will give them an inside look into what it takes to make a “true cocktail” that’s balanced and involves different procedures. Lisa Stevens, who runs her own marketing firm called MKT Collaborative, will run the marketing side of the steakhouse while Tim and his management team will run the day-to-day operations. Lisa Stevens is also a member of Roswell Economic Development and Tourism Inc – the board of directors that oversees Roswell
Inc and Visit Roswell. Tim Stevens, on the other hand, has over 32 years of experience in the restaurant industry during which he’s either opened or been involved in the opening of several fine steakhouses around the country, including Chops Steakhouse and
Kaiser’s Chophouse in Atlanta. He said his passion for the industry stems from spending his summers at his grandparents’ farm in north Florida, where they showed him what “farm-totable” was before it became popular. The concept refers to sourcing ingredients directly from farms rather than distribution companies. “I got a lot of my passion from them,” Tim said. “They entertained a lot. Their food was always fantastic. And then just being in the industry as long as I have. My first job was waiting tables at 15 years old. To be in any industry this long you’ve got to have a love for it. Luckily, I’ve been able to make it through and still be super positive about what we’re trying to do.” Tim said their priority is providing high-quality, fresh products. To do that, the couple traveled to Napa Valley, California, last summer to hand-select reserved wines, and just last month they toured farms in Chicago owned by the Allen Brothers and Meats by Linz to see firsthand where their cattle will be coming from. Tim said they hope to begin building Bask the first week of February. For updates on all opening plans, visit Bask on Facebook and Instagram.

Health Insurance – What are my options, and what is right for me? Brought to you by Josh Dougherty, Xperience Benefits After our 2nd year of being in business, it did not take long to figure out that people absolutely love talking about health insurance! DOUGHERTY Kidding of course. However, for as much as people do not WANT to talk about it, the truth is that you MUST talk about it. Why? For business owners that sponsor benefits, typically benefits are their 2nd highest cost behind payroll itself! For individuals, it has the potential to be a family’s largest bill besides their mortgage! So, what do we do? Given that we live in the 21st century, we take up arms (our keyboard) and Google “health insurance”. Doing so will give you a litany of large companies that
pay to have their websites at the top of your page and most force you to input information so that some telemarketer will call you selling whatever policy their company pushes. Ok, that may be a bit extreme, but you get the point. So, what are my options and what is right for me? Well, we begin each conversation asking where you are. If you are a business owner and you are looking to offer benefits to your employees, there are HMO, PPO, EPO & POS plans available. There are pros and cons to each one of these plans. Also, if you and your employees are willing to undergo simple underwriting, there are self-funded or level-funded plans that (if you qualify) allow you to garner quality PPO plans, at heavily reduced rates. If you are an individual/family seeking a plan, we would ask about 2 items: 1) you and your family’s overall health and 2) your household income.
Why? There are plans on the individual market that, like above, if you can pass underwriting, you may be eligible for quality plans at a discounted rate. Regarding household income, the passing of the new CARES Act has expanded what is considered the Federal Poverty Level and has increased the amounts of subsidy dollars for folks that qualify for a Marketplace (aka Obamacare) plan. If this is not a route you have looked into recently, we encourage you to do so. Obviously, we would love to chat with you about your insurance needs, but at the end of the day, we just
Attract. Inspire. Grow.
Xperience Benefits is partnering with the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce to have a Q&A about insurance options with the Chamber, changes with Anthem, answers to health insurance FAQ’s and more.

Stool Transplants — A new melanoma treatment? Brought to you by – Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Stool (yes, feces) transplants are a real thing. In a world with virtual reality goggles, privatized space exploration, and children who think they know more than their parents, who would have thought that the most innovative medical technology available might be poop? But it’s true. During 2021, increased articles have been published supporting the idea that the bacteria in the gut might have a tremendous impact on our health and immune system. And stool transplants could become part of state-of-the-art cancer care. In February 2021, an article was published in the reputable journal Science. Researchers affiliated with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) identified fifteen melanoma patients who had failed to respond to immunotherapy-type melanoma drugs. These patients received stool transplants via colonoscopy from a melanoma patient who had responded to therapy. The fifteen patients were retreated with the cancer drug, and this time, six of those fifteen patients responded with either tumor reduction or long-term disease stabilization. The type of bacteria that someone has in the gut likely influences how proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory one’s body is overall. Indeed, patients who responded to the stool transplant had molecules associated with resistance to immunotherapy decrease in their system. In October 2021, an article published in Cell showed that the absence of gut bacteria creates a “pro-tumorigenic” environment – one that allows tumors to grow. Certain bacteria activate “STING” genes (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) that make our white blood cells better able to fight tumors. Interferon is a molecule that has long been known to activate white blood cells and help fight cancers. The fact that gut bacteria help activate interferon-associated genes supports that one’s gut bacteria might affect one’s ability to fight cancer. This same article found that a high fiber diet also activated these anticancer genes. That an absence of bacteria created an environment that allows tumors to grow raises interesting questions about unintended consequences of using antibiotics that kill gut bacteria. This is a hot topic. A search for “fecal microbiota” at the website clinicaltrials. gov identifies more than one thousand studies related to gut bacteria, feces and treatment of disease such as fecal transplantation for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, fecal transplantation for severe acute pancreatitis and many, many more. I’ll never forget the time that I first learned of stool transplants. One of my professor’s daughters had been gravely ill for
SPECIAL/USF HEALTH COLLEGE OF NURSING
more than 6 months with a type of diarrhea caused by the bacteria Clostridium dificil, and the infectious disease doctors had not been able to cure her. She had lost weight to dangerous levels, could not go to school, could not function and was devastated by her condition. As a last-ditch effort, they performed a stool transplant from her sister to her, transferring the stool-saline mixture into her stomach by means of a nasogastric tube. My professor told us that she vomited once and that her breath was terrible for a day but that she was completely cured. Her story is amazing, but not completely shocking. It makes sense that if someone is colonized by bad bacteria that a stool transplant might help replace the bad bacteria with the good. But who would have imagined that stool transplantation and gut bacteria management might find its way into cancer management? Currently, stool transplantation is usually performed by gastroenterologists and oncologists at research centers and should likely be performed as part of a clinical trial. At our dermatology clinic, we do not perform stool transplantation. But, as you can see, we are open-minded and always looking for ways we can help. And thank goodness, we can cure 99% of skin cancers with Mohs surgery and traditional dermatologic techniques. If you or a loved one has a skin cancer or a skin care need, please consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Dr. Brent Taylor and Kathryn Filipek, PA-C are delighted to help you achieve your skin health goals. Dr. Taylor is fellowshiptrained and “triple board certified” -- board certified in dermatology, board certified in micrographic dermatologic surgery (Mohs surgery) and certified in varicose vein treatment by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine. Ms. Kathryn Filipek has greater than 15 years of dermatology experience with expertise in medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology.
HEALTH & WELLNESS • Sponsored Section Brought to you by – Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Congratulations go out to dermatologists who passed the first ever Mohs surgery board exam. In an effort to ensure a consistent base level of knowledge among physicians claiming expertise in micrographic surgery, the dermatology community banded together to approve and formally recognize the subspecialty of “Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery” aka Mohs surgery. Formal recognition means that micrographic dermatologic surgery is now one of the subspecialties recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties and is now governed by the American Board of Dermatology. Named after Dr. Frederic Mohs who pioneered the technique, Mohs surgery is a technique for removing skin cancer that involves removing a cancer in “layers” or stages, examining the edges of the removed tissue under a microscope and continuing to remove cancer until the margins are clear of tumor. Mohs surgery has long been the gold standard method for curing most skin cancers, with cure rates for most tumors treated with Mohs surgery exceeding 99%. The certifying exam was held from October 4th-8th, 2021. This eight hour, one day exam tests knowledge considered critical within the field of Mohs surgery. Tested content includes such topics as how to troubleshoot problems
in the Mohs laboratory, how best to repair the wounds that result from Mohs surgery, and pitfalls when diagnosing cancer under a microscope. Test-takers were warned that they would likely have to wait up to 12 weeks for results. After much anticipation, results are in, and those who passed can now claim to be “board certified” not only in dermatology but also in micrographic surgery. A critical piece of information for patients seeking out a Mohs surgeon is that it remains as important as ever to ensure that your Mohs surgeon is fellowship-trained and is a member of the American College of Mohs Surgery (information available at www.mohscollege.org). Surprisingly, completing a fellowship in Mohs surgery was not a prerequisite for taking this new board exam. Until 2025, any board-certified dermatologist who claims to practice Mohs surgery will be allowed to take the exam, even if Mohs surgery is a minor part of his or her practice and even i

Denmark: Continued from Page 1 county will purchase the Polo Fields property for $7.5 million. County Attorney Ken Jarrard said the deal is contingent upon the county raising at least the same amount from the sale of the Denmark Park property. He said that if the county is unable to sell the portion of Denmark Park for at least $7.5 million by June 6, the contract to purchase Polo Fields is dissolved unless it is amended before then. Developers have made efforts in recent years to rezone Polo Fields to allow residential and commercial developments. Residents around Denmark Park say they fear those development plans will now move to the park land. The commission purchased the first plot of land that became Denmark Park in 2018 and budgeted $12 million for its development. When money became tight in 2020, the commission opted to divert those funds into improving existing parks. District 3 County Commissioner Todd Levent, whose district covers Denmark Park, spoke against diverting the funds. Polo Fields, about 5 miles northeast
of the park, also falls in Levent’s district. Levent said he wished the county had the money to purchase Polo Fields and keep Denmark Park, but it wasn’t possible. He said it would be eight years before the county may have the funds to develop soccer fields at Denmark Park, and topography would limit it to four fields. “We don’t just blindly do mean things to people,” Levent said in an interview prior to the vote. “It’s just that right now we need six fields desperately for these kids and we’re juggling what we have and our resources to maintain those fields.” County commissioners informally agreed at a Dec. 2 meeting to hold a town hall regarding the land swap before the vote, but the meeting never occurred. Meanwhile, residents near the park mounted a campaign to stop the deal. Kay Veal, who sold the county most of the acreage for the park three years ago, said she and her late husband had turned down millions of dollars in offers from developers. She said her late husband was opposed to having the property covered in homes. “My husband just did not want houses on his farm,” Veal said. “We turned down $10 million because he didn’t want houses on the property. Now it looks like they’re going to put houses on the property.”

King’s Ridge expansion continues with former Roadrunner purchase By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — King’s Ridge Christian School is taking steps to keep student-athletes from having to travel off-campus to other courts and fields in the community. In December, King’s Ridge used funds from its Be Bold capital campaign to purchase the final two pieces of contiguous property next to the school’s campus off Bethany Bend. The campaign is part of an effort to raise money for campus improvements that are not part of its annual operating budget. King’s Ridge Director of Advancement Sharon Hurst said the purchase includes the former 17-acre Roadrunner baseball complex on Cogburn Road for $2.2 million as well as another 2 acres from the Founding Faith Worship Center for $400,000. The properties will be used to build additional varsity softball and middle school baseball fields, a new varsity baseball field, six tennis courts, state-of-theart turf for the existing soccer field and a cross-country course. While the expansion has been two years in the making, Hurst said the school had been interested in acquiring the Roadrunner property for nearly 10 years. It wasn’t until 2021 that a donor stepped up to bring the goal to fruition. Just as the school was about to close on the property, the contiguous parcel
Scholarship: Continued from Page 1 in Forsyth County, which remained almost entirely White until the 1980s. The scholarship seeks to recognize the injustices committed against the Black population of Forsyth County. “This is an act of love — doing for a few what we wish we could do for all,” retired Forsyth County pastor Durwood Snead said in a statement announcing the scholarship. “This is not meant to be a repayment, a reckoning or reparations. We encourage our community to learn about these events and participate in supporting the scholarship.” To qualify for the scholarship, an applicant must be a high school senior or college undergraduate and show proof of being a direct descendant of an African American family who lived in the county until 1912. They must also write an essay describing their

of land also went up for sale, and again, donors stepped up, Hurst said. Collectively, the King’s Ridge purchase adds 19.5 acres to the campus, expanding its overall footprint to more than 90 acres so that it no longer needs to rent courts and fields from cities like Milton and Alpharetta for practices and events. Recreation land in those cities has been in high demand in recent years. Milton has spent more than $20 million in the past three years to acquire more than 400 acres of passive park land through its Greenspace Bond, which has freed up other money to buy ready-made athletic fields. In November, Alpharetta residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of a $29.5 million bond that will pay to
refurbish more than half a dozen parks and further develop the city’s Alpha Loop linear park. King’s Ridge Head of School Jeff Williams said he’s looking forward to the opportunities the purchase will provide to the entire “King’s Ridge family.” The Be Bold campaign will also help to fund the completion of the third floor of the Upper School Wing, which will add nine classrooms for students in grades nine through 12, as well as a school-wide campus master plan redesign for a new middle school and fine arts facility. The campaign covers the annual fund for the current school year and next year. To date, the Be Bold capital campaign has raised $4.6 million of its $9.6 million goal.
