Deputies charge motorist with aggravated assault FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A Cumming man reportedly fled a two-vehicle crash along Post Road on May 10, then tried to run over the other driver.

Walter Adam Zagorski, 35, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, hit and run, DUI and possession of open alcohol containers.

The victim told officers Zagorski fled a collision with him at Post and Kelly Mill roads. The driver followed Zagorski to a CVS parking lot along Post Road.

Deputies arrived and said they found the suspect stumbling, slurring his speech and smelling of alcohol. They said he had glassy, bloodshot eyes and was trying to get back into his car. Deputies stopped him and found two vodka bottles and two 32-ounce beer cans in the vehicle.

The victim said Zagorski floored his vehicle and tried to ram into him in the parking lot while he was dialing 911.

Decatur man faces charge of breaking into business FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies nabbed a Decatur man May 14 who was wanted for an Oct. 9 break-in at a Shirlee Industrial Way business.

Robert Lee Tolbert, 30, was taken into custody from the DeKalb County Jail. He was charged with second-degree criminal damage to property.

According to investigators, Tolbert’s former boss told deputies he smashed two windows with a hammer and broke into the business to retrieve his paycheck. When Tolbert called his job to ask about the check, the business owner told him he’d left for the day and wouldn’t return until Monday. Tolbert decided to smash two doors and break in after hours to get his payment, which was

PUBLIC SAFETY locked in an office, according to deputies.

Deputies called to scene of drive-by shooting FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies were dispatched to a reported drive-by shooting in the 6000 block of Whirlaway Drive before dawn May 13. Officers reviewed video from multiple homes in the area, which showed a light-colored car drive down the street shortly before 1:30 a.m. Deputies retrieved several .45-caliber shell casings inside and outside one of the residences on the block.

No one was injured during the incident.

Two accused of kidnapping, robbing 77-year-old woman FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County Sheriff’s deputies arrested two women May 17 who reportedly kidnapped an elderly woman from a Goodwill parking lot on Atlanta Highway. The women allegedly forced the 77-year-old victim to withdraw $10,000 from her bank account and stole it from her, according to deputies.

Cha-Rae Owens, 51, of Atlanta, and Sharon Sanford, 61, of Douglasville, were both charged with kidnapping, exploitation of the elderly, theft by deception, identity theft and first-degree forgery.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, the suspects confronted the victim as she was walking outside the Goodwill store and demanded she get into their car, threatening to do something to her if she didn’t. The suspects drove the woman to her bank and ordered her to withdraw $10,000.

They claimed they would give her $45,000 in return.

The women watched as the victim withdrew the money. They wrote down her personal information and credit card numbers before dropping the victim off near Merchant’s Square. They took the $10,000 withdrawal then gave the victim an envelope filled with fake money.

The victim notified a nearby business she’d just been robbed. Deputies spotted the suspects’ vehicle driving southbound on Ga. 400 and stopped them.

Deputies recovered the victim’s $10,000 and returned the cash to her.

Short-term rental permit talks continue Commissioners hash out proposed regulations

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Commission continued to hammer out details on a proposal to require owners of short-term rental property to receive a permit from the county before renting their home through popular websites like VRBO and Airbnb.

The permit would be in addition to regulations the county put in place in 2019, specifically that short-term rentals can only be operated on agriculturally zoned properties with a conditional use permit.

At its May 20 meeting, the board fielded several public comments that strongly criticized the county’s 2019 action, spurring most commissioners to state the proposed changes to the ordinance would not backtrack on its prior decision to limit where short-term rentals could operate.

However, commissioner Todd Levent did state the board took a “scorched Earth approach” in limiting rentals to only agriculturally zoned areas. The ordinance was intended to be reasonable and offer protection to the neighbors of rental properties, Levent said, but it did not need to be onerous and have the appearance of the county wanting to shut down shortterm rentals completely.

The May 20 meeting specifically addressed stipulations under the permit requirement proposal. Several commissioners voiced that the talks were a continuation of proposed regulations that were left on the cutting room floor in 2019.

Commissioners had no objections to several proposals, including a $250 annual fee for the permit, but not everyone was on board with all aspects of the draft.

In addition to going before the County Commission to receive the permit, and

Lake Lanier has drawn a large number of rental homes over the years, and Forsyth County is clamping down on those who operate short-term rentals. owner/operator of a short-term rental would be required to designate a local contact person who must be at the property within one hour if there is a violation of any short-term rental regulations.

Levent argued that if there is a potential violation, the complainant could call the county’s e-911 system, which could respond within two hours and could verify the legitimacy of the complaint.

Semanson suggested the language be changed to have a the “responsible person” respond to a call within one hour instead of having to be at the rental property within 60 minutes.

Commission Chairwoman Cindy Jones Mills had issues with potential investigations regarding violations, particularly that there was no rebuttal process outlined for homeowners in a false-report situation.

“False accusation is a legitimate thing,”

she said.

Molly Esswein, representing County Attorney Ken Jarrard’s office, said if the issue were to go to court, the burden of proof would lie on the county, and the complaint would need to be verified before moving to that point.

Jarrard said the county’s code enforcement deals more in compliance than prosecution, and those staff members could identify false accusations.

Some issues were raised by those speaking in favor and against the update during the public comment period.

A representative with the North Georgia Association of Realtors took issue with several aspects of the draft, including a mandate that each guest include the make, model, year and tag number of their car that will be parked at the rental property.

One man who spoke in favor said

he would still like to see some changes, including an extended response time from the “responsible party” of a property and repercussions for those making a false complaint against a homeowner/operator or renter.

Other proposed regulations the county has drafted would require a Health Department inspection of the home and septic system to set limitations on the number of people allowed in the home at any one time. That cap would be set at two people per bedroom with a maximum occupancy of 15 persons on septic-serviced properties. Other proposals include parking limitations, noise constraints, posted notice requirements and a mandate that renters sign an agreement stating they understand these stipulations.

The County Commission could take a vote on the proposal during its next regular meeting in June.

Commission gives initial approval for Ga. 9 medical office complex

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A proposed office complex along Ga. 9 received its initial approval at the May 20 Forsyth County Commission meeting. Board members signed off a sketch plat that calls for over 96,000-square feet of office space on the east side of Ga. 9 along Greenfield Drive near Exit 14 on Ga. 400.

The proposal includes two buildings with 430 parking spaces on

8.3-acres. The building on the west side of the property would include about 56,000-square feet of office space and stand 3-stories in height. The second building, adjacent to Ga. 9, is slated to be 2-stories.

Ethan Underwood, an attorney representing the applicant, said the property is expected to exclusively house medical offices and is a “much-needed and highend” development. He added the location was ideal for its proximity to Northside Hospital Forsyth and other nearby medi-

cal facilities.

Commissioner Todd Levent, who has recently spoken for more “Grade-A” office buildings in the county, expressed his support for the proposal.

“It’s going to be Grade-A medical office…which is exactly what we try to strive to get to for our tax base to help balance the digest,” he said.

The applicant, Highway 9 Land LLC, also requested two variances.

Underwood said one variance is to delete a buffer requirement between the

two parcels of land that would otherwise bifurcate the parking lot. The second variance requests to reduce a landscape strip on Greenfield Drive from 15- to 10feet wide. Under the conditions approved by the board, the applicant has agreed to dedicate additional right-of-way along Ga. 9 and to pave Greenfield Drive.

The applicant has also agreed to upgrade one of the stormwater drains.

Underwood said this was in response to neighbors’ complaints of stormwater issues in the area.

‘State of the County’ address reviews pandemic response

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The 2021 State of the County address was typical in addressing the county’s accomplishments over the past year, but the subject matter was unconventional compared to years prior.

County Commission Chairwoman Cindy Jones Mills and county leaders walked through the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and how the community, county and local organizations responded.

Mills said she wanted the county to reflect on the challenging year and not “gloss over” the pandemic.

“I wanted us to really look back on what happened last year, and to sort of make this event be like a time capsule that we could look back on and see the good that happened amongst that bad that we went through, and celebrate, really, the people,” Mills said. “People were working together that had never worked together before, and we saw the best in people, and we saw the best in our organizations. And it really showed me what our community is made of.”

After representatives from the county, City of Cumming, first responders, healthcare officials, students, and other community members shared their “never forget” moments from the pandemic, the county outlined how it responded to the worldwide crisis.

A theme throughout these presentations was the community joining together through the pandemic and how it impacted the lives of every resident.

Steven Hartsock of Socks Love Barbeque was featured in a segment on his efforts to help bolster another local restaurant, Lake Burrito, which was struggling to stay afloat with a shortage of revenue and staff.

Hartsock made a video in support of his fellow local eatery, and donated profits from a Friday at his restaurant to his neighbors.

Charel Palmer of Popbar said she was thankful to the community for keeping her business going after the pandemic forced the doors to be locked just six months after opening.

“We did not take you for granted,” Palmer said. “The words that you spoke, the goodness that you made, that’s why we are still here.”

Palmer also touted the restaurant bingo initiative created by Together4FOCO, a Forsyth Chamber program to support businesses during the pandemic.

“It was a little glimmer of light,” Palmer said. “And I also think it was a really meaningful way for the community to support local businesses they may not have supported before.”

Senior Services had to make a major change during the pandemic with the county’s senior centers shut down. Ruthie Brew outlined ways the department shifted, including home visits, virtual activity offerings, socially distanced driveway visits and other ways they continued engaging and supporting seniors.

Brew said although senior centers were closed, “it didn’t stop our caring about our people or our outreach to them.”

The Forsyth County Cares push was also heralded for offering grant and utility relief to renters behind on their payments and for awarding 319 grants for local small businesses.

Other highlights included a rundown of the Forsyth County Mental Health Task Force, the Forsyth Chamber’s diversity and inclusion initiative, how the county’s library system rolled out its Bookmobile at a crucial time and the partnership between the county and local health organizations to allow the county to distribute thousands of COVID-19 vaccines.

The State of the County concluded with State Sen. Greg Dolezal presenting a check for $1 million for the expected $13 million expansion of the University of North Georgia Cumming campus. Dolezal said the expansion will add an additional 30,000-square feet of new labs that will nearly double the size of the facility.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Department of Water and Sewer’s 2021 water quality report is now online for residents to review. The report can be viewed at bit.ly/3yq9aLv or through the county’s website, forsythco.com.

The report provides information from 2020 on where the County’s water comes from, what it contains and how it compares to standards required by the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. Forsyth

County’s water met all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state drinking water health standards in 2020.

The report will also be included in county water and sewer bills and as a website link in the monthly invoice for users of paperless billing. Paper copies can be picked up at the Department of Water and Sewer office the county’s Administration Building, 110 E Main St., Suite 150.

Veterans continue drive to revive Old Soldiers Day Parade Committee calling for community help in renewing event

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A newly formed nonprofit affiliated with veterans continues to lay plans to revive the traditional Alpharetta Old Soldiers Day Parade, whether it’s held in Alpharetta or not.

Representatives from the Northern Arc Old Soldiers Day Foundation say they have met several times with Alpharetta city officials to settle on costs for services, like police, traffic control, sanitation and a host of other items necessary to hold a parade.

Charles Turner, who heads the Foundation’s Old Soldiers Day Committee, said the city has presented the group with an unreachable expense estimate, along with other demands that cannot be met in time to hold the event on its traditional first Saturday of August.

As cost negotiations continue with the city, Turner said volunteers are reaching out to schools, businesses and civic groups about their parade plans.

At the last Old Soldiers Day, there were about 100 parade entries.

Turner said the Foundation will soon set up its own mailing address for donations and correspondence. Currently, the operation is headquartered at American Legion Post 201 in Alpharetta.

In a meeting earlier this month, committee members said they hope to garner support from throughout north Metro Atlanta, and they were willing to consider holding the parade wherever accommodations were most inviting.

Up until last year, Old Soldiers Day had been an Alpharetta staple since 1952. COVID canceled last year’s event, but its current struggle began a year earlier when two men — Richard Leake and Michael Dean — filed suit in U.S. District Court seeking an injunction against the city for refusing to allow the Roswell Mills Camp Sons of Confederate Veterans from displaying the battle flag in the parade. The city argued that similar flag displays had been linked to violence and disorder at similar events across the country.

The city escaped the challenge hours before the parade when Judge William M. Ray II denied to act on the motion.

But the litigation had its effect on Alpharetta’s City Council, which voted later in the year to withhold official sponsorship for the event. That support totaled around $20,000 in police, sanitation and other services.

The City Council action does not prohibit the Old Soldiers Day Parade, so long as it is organized under private sponsorship and funding.

Other than Mayor Jim Gilvin’s labeling the city’s withdrawal “a damn shame,” Alpharetta has publicly said little.

However, it remains engaged in the litigation.

Days after the 2019 parade was held, the city filed a motion for summary judgement, asking Judge Ray to throw out the case on its merits (more appropriately “lack of merits”). That motion was granted.

Leake and Dean appealed the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, then later withdrew that filing.

They then refiled a motion with the same U.S. District Court asking that their suit be reconsidered. Ray denied the motion.

From there, Leake and Dean refiled their appeal with the 11th Circuit, where it currently sits.

The case is scheduled for a hearing in September, a full month after the Foundation hopes to hold the parade.

The Foundation’s Old Soldiers Day Committee includes members from Roswell, Alpharetta and Johns Creek, but members say they want to expand membership to veterans and veterans organizations in surrounding counties.

Meanwhile, Taylor said the group is seeking support from the community.

“We are hoping to attract corporate and all donations to help us meet our goal of again keeping our tradition moving forward,” he said.

Donations should be designated for Northern Arc Old Soldiers Day Foundation Inc., and can be dropped by Legion Post 201, 201 Wills Road in Alpharetta.

Taylor said the Foundation will provide all donors with its EIN Tax number.

Taylor encouraged those interested in assisting with the effort to keep checking the Legion Post’s website at legion201. org/ for updates.

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Hanley Investment Group has arranged the sale of Alpharetta Commons shopping center for $24.6 million to a private investor from California.

The 94,500-square-foot shopping center on the southwest corner of Old Milton Parkway and Kimball Bridge Road is anchored by Publix Super Markets and is 98.7 percent occupied.

Hanley Investment Group President Ed Hanley and Executive Vice President Kevin Fryman, along with ParaSell, Inc., represented the 1031 exchange buyer. The seller was an institutional real estate owner, operator and developer of a national portfolio, and was represented by CBRE Executive Vice President Chris Decouflé, Senior Vice President Kevin Hurley and Senior Associate Matt Karempelis.

The shopping center was built in 1997 and is located on 10.66 acres at 4305 State Bridge Road/ Old Milton Parkway.

The average household income within a threemile radius of the property is over $163,000 for the 86,000 residents. Nearly 209,000 people reside within five miles of the shopping center.

Fryman noted the Ga. 120 corridor is one of the most heavily traveled in the area, with approximately 54,600 vehicles per day passing by the shopping center. The property also has two signalized entrances. The property also benefits from the 16.5 million square feet of office and industrial space within a three-mile radius of the property, Fryman added.

In addition to Publix, Alpharetta Commons has a variety of service-based and internet-resistant tenants including Sports Clips, T -Mobile, nail salon, dry cleaners, a liquor store and food and beverage outlets.

“The service-based and restaurant tenant sales are seeing a spike in overall traffic as restrictions are easing and customers are more comfortable with frequenting these businesses now that they have the vaccine,” Fryman said.

This is the second Atlanta metro area grocery-

Making a difference together Brought to you by Village Park In our retirement years, we gain even more time and opportunity to walk in purpose and give back to our greater community. At Village Park Senior Living, our neighborhoods are active communities that provide continued involvement with the surrounding area. Through engaging experiences and resident-led organizations, we facilitate camaraderie essential to social, mental, and physical health. Whether it pertains to community outreach, finding fellowship, or celebrating milestones, residents at all three of our locations work together with Village Park team members to create the activities and events they desire.

Many activities extend beyond Village Park’s communities and have poured into supporting their surrounding townships. Earlier this month, residents of Village Park Peachtree Corners celebrated local heroes with a special drive-by parade and breakfast. Schools, family members, and various organizations from the Peachtree Corners area honored first responders and civil service members by donating goodies, making signs, and lining the sidewalks with cheer.

Serving the greater area begins with the friendships

built within Village Park communities. Residents moving into Village Park can look forward to building long-lasting relationships with their neighbors through various clubs and activities. Thespians at Village Park Milton often gather to pursue their acting craft by rehearsing and performing their favorite plays. The sounds of Shakespeare have brought many residents together and given them the opportunity to express their creativity through dynamic roles. Down the road at Village Park Alpharetta, residents lead a daily devotional group that provides fellowship and support to one another. Neighbors come together every morning and share various stories of loved ones and provide motivation for their peers.

These clubs and activities cultivate friendships that impact residents, team members, and those they serve.

Not only do residents and Village Park team members often come together to provide community outreach, but to create memorable experiences for one another. Last month, the Resident Council and Activities Department at Village Park Alpharetta joined together to celebrate a milestone for their neighbor. Everybody helped transform the dining hall into a party venue for Ms. Alice Lovelace’s 101st birthday. It was a memorable experience for everybody involved.

Self-Advocacy and second opinions Brought to you by: Dr. Brent Taylor, Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Second opinions can be invaluable. A study by the Mayo Clinic found that a diagnosis was changed or discovered in 21% of patients seeking a second opinion, and nearly 66% of all patients seeking a second opinion had their diagnosis refined. Receiving care for the wrong diagnosis or, more often, not receiving care for an undiagnosed issue can be life altering or sometimes even prove deadly.

Recently, a surprising number of patients have told me about experiences when their own initiative or a second opinion proved to be lifesaving.

One patient was told that an incidental finding of low platelets (thrombocytopenia) was dismissed by his first physician as likely of little consequence. This patient sought a second opinion, and a bone marrow biopsy identified leukemia and led to treatment. Another patient’s doctor told her that a mass could be watched and that since imaging was not necessary,

it would not be covered by insurance.

She paid out of her own pocket for a CT scan that identified the cancer that she suspected she had. Multiple other patients shared similar stories. And whereas this may come as a shock to some, it is, sadly, not surprising to me. Physicians are not infallible. I genuinely believe that patients should be their own advocate. Good physicians support their patients seeking additional professional opinions. In fact, my patients and I share similar stories because a second (fifth actually) opinion saved the life – or more accurately the quality and course of life – of my son: I count my blessings that my wife holds to her convictions and advocates for our family. Multiple “second” opinions at her insistence saved my oldest child from a lifetime of developmental struggles and unnecessary deafness.

Our oldest effectively stopped talking at about 14 months old. He never had a diagnosed or suspected ear infection. And although he would eventu-

See PREMIER, Page 11

Premier: Continued from Page 10 ally turn towards us when we called his name, my wife was convinced that he could not hear. She took him to multiple pediatricians and was repeatedly dismissed with the counsel that “boys will be boys” and “not everyone is a talker.” These were board-certified, well-trained physicians. Over the course of a year, his speech deteriorated from a dozen words at 14 months to only 2 words at 2 years old. A pediatric ENT, an audiologist and another pediatrician examined him and suggested autism, but when asked, they could not support their conclusions convincingly. The diagnosis just didn’t fit, as there were no other symptoms of autism.

Finally, at our second pediatric ENT and audiology appointment, the audiologist determined that the way sound waves bounced back from his ear drums was not consistent with open, air-filled middle ears. Dr. Matthew Whitley (Pediatric Ear Nose and Throat of Atlanta) scheduled an appointment to place tubes in his ear drums and explore further. Shortly into the surgery, Dr. Whitley discovered that my son had “glue ear,” which is when a glue-like semisolid forms behind the ear drum. Our son could hear sounds, which explains how he passed his first hearing test at one year old, but sounds were heard as if underwater, and he could not differentiate between many sounds which made speech unintelligible. Dr. Whitley inserted tubes, removed the glue-like material from our son’s middle ear and restored his hearing. Within one week our son went from speaking two words to twenty words. We were informed that in a case such as our son’s, it would likely have taken years for the glue ear to resolve on its own.

Had we stuck with our first, second, third, or fourth opinion, our son would have been severely affected by deafness (and thus speech) during critical developmental years.

As a Mohs surgeon, I have had many of my greatest successes in the field of skin cancer, oftentimes in the context of my serving as a second opinion. One patient was told by his previous Mohs surgeon that further surgery was not possible on his scalp, which was riddled with painful cancers. However, my patient and I selectively employed photodynamic therapy, 5-fluorouracil cream and Mohs surgery with skin grafts. His scalp is now healed and pain and cancer-free.

Other patients have come to me with skin cancers dismissed by their previous dermatologists who assured them

EMPTY NEST • Sponsored Section that a biopsy was not necessary. The most common scenario has been that of growths that the patients were reassured were cysts but that ultimately proved to be squamous cell carcinomas. Biopsies have often identified the presence of skin cancers that, if left untreated, could metastasize to other organ systems.

Perhaps most frustrating to my patients, innumerable individuals have come to me upset that at their previous practice they were never told that Mohs surgery is an option. Frequently, patients first see me when cancers treated elsewhere begin to regrow.

Usually, these cancers were treated by a scrape and burn (ED&C), standard excision or freezing by another doctor.

Each of these methods is appropriate in certain circumstances, but what frustrated these patients is that they were not offered the choice of Mohs surgery.

Mohs surgery is a method of curing skin cancer by removing small pieces of tissue and checking the edges under the microscope until clear, cancer-free margins are obtained. Mohs surgery has the highest cure rate (usually 99%) of any procedure for the most common skin cancers and is considered the gold standard treatment for skin cancer on the head and neck.

Physicians have an obligation to present patients with the most reasonable treatment options, even when that treatment option is not available in their own practice. I sleep well at night knowing that I genuinely give my patients treatment that I would not necessarily pick for myself. My job is to present facts and to be a guide but not to choose for my patients. Just today, I saw a patient who was referred to me for Mohs surgery of a basal cell carcinoma on the lower edge of the nose.

We reviewed his treatment options together. He had never considered radiation therapy until I presented it as an alternative to Mohs surgery, and ultimately radiation therapy is what he selected. Likewise, I occasionally have patients referred to me for Mohs surgery who select imiquimod cream instead of surgery after I present it as a treatment option for certain types of basal cell carcinoma. When nonsurgical options exist, it is a surgeon’s responsibility to help educate a patient about treatment options worth considering.

The providers at Premier Dermatology believe in second opinions and in patient advocacy. I, along with Kathryn Filipek, PA-C, strive to truly listen to our patients and empower them to seek second opinions and alternative courses of treatment. At Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta, whether we are your first or second (or fifth!) opinion, we make you and your family our priority.

Wall That Heals receives repairs in time for Memorial Day

By KATIE ANDERSON newsroom@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Wall That Heals, a 250-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Newtown Park, received unpredicted, but much needed, repairs in time for Memorial Day. Visitors to Newtown Park may have noticed that the Wall That Heals, which the city acquired in March 2020, was missing some of its panels. The removal came after the Johns Creek Veterans Association noticed several of the heavy marble slabs were in danger of falling and shattering.

Johns Creek Veterans Association President Col. Mike Mizell said no panels were damaged, but the grout holding the plaques to the concrete foundation was insufficient, and they feared the plaques would fall. Those that were removed were re-installed this past weekend using a screw and metal bracket.

“We’re re-adhering nine panels and eventually, we’re gonna have to do the same thing to the other panels, because they all used that same type of adhesive,” Mizell said. “So, I think we’ll probably be scheduling that at some future date.”

The City of Johns Creek is covering the cost for the repairs, but Mizell

said that donations to the Johns Creek Veterans Association could be paid into the city for the additional repairs as needed.

Mizell said he is happy the problem became evident early enough to avoid damage to the wall. That means a lot to Veterans Association and to veterans around the state and country, he said.

Newtown Park, home to the largest privately funded veteran’s park in the United States, will be the site for ceremonies honoring veterans throughout Georgia.

As Memorial Day approaches, different organizations throughout Johns Creek and neighboring cities are making plans to honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

The Johns Creek Veterans Association plans to lay a wreath at the Wall That Heals and Davenport Plaza, the entrance to the Veterans Memorial Walk also in Newtown Park, the Sunday before Memorial Day. Also on Sunday, three veterans’ groups will come together for a 10K ruck march from the Veterans Memorial at Newtown Park to American Legion Post 201 in Alpharetta.

The march will include an intermediate stop at the Veteran’s Memorial at

City Hall in downtown Alpharetta.

In the military, ruck marches are part of basic recruit training.

The participating groups are Sheep Dog Impact Assistance, www.sheepdogia.org; Carry the Load, www.carrytheload.org, and American Legion Post 201.

Mizell said the Shepherds Men organization raises awareness and funds for the SHARE Military Initiative at Shepherd Center in Atlanta. The SHARE Initiative is a nationally renowned program that focuses on assessment and treatment for American military veterans who have sustained mild to moderate traumatic brain injury and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder during post-9/11 service.

Mizell said that he and the Johns Creek Veterans Association have high hopes for the Veterans Memorial Walk and want to make it “the most beautiful Veterans Memorial park outside of D.C.” He said he has met with a landscape engineer and a master gardener to help make the area in Newtown Park more beautiful and peaceful with shaded greenery and white flowers. They hope to partner with nurseries either owned by veterans or who would be willing to support the veterans in exchange for a placard or recognition.

North metro cities set own plans to revive Memorial Day observances

BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com As the pandemic continues to alter plans for social events, north metro cities are determined to honor deceased members of the armed forces late this month.

Most cities are planning either virtual or in-person ceremonies for Memorial Day. Residents of Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, Cumming, and Dunwoody can look forward to honoring deceased veterans during the special day.

Roswell Traditionally the largest Memorial Day service in the state, Roswell has scheduled a virtual celebration streaming live on YouTube. The Roswell Rotary Club produced a video for the occasion comprising the “best of the best” moments from past ceremonies set to air on that Monday at 11 a.m.

“For 22 consecutive years thousands of people from Roswell and around the state have joined the Rotary Club of Roswell and the City of Roswell to honor the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our country,” Rotary Club President Lynne Lindsay said.

The event is held annually on the green at Roswell City Hall, but as in 2020, the city has canceled the in-person event for this year.

To commemorate the event, Army veteran Capt. Donna Rowe will be featured speaker. Rowe served as head nurse in the emergency room/triage area of 3rd Field Hospital, Saigon. It was there that she took on the task of saving a barely alive Vietnamese baby girl from her dead mother’s arms. In 2016, Rowe was honored as the first female inducted into the Georgia Military Veteran’s Hall of Fame. To access the stream, visit www.youtu.be/LJzUnHh5IGU. Alpharetta Members of the Alpharetta Rotary Club are resuming their annual service virtually with a live stream from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Retired Marine Lt. Col. Jeffrey Davis will serve as the keynote speaker for the event which will include interviews with two Gold Star families who will tell their stories and discuss what the special day means to them.

“On Memorial Day we honor those who sacrificed for our country,” co-chair of the event William Perkins said. “We salute the fallen and remember their lives. It is because of them that we have the freedoms we cherish.”

The celebration will also feature a performance of “Taps” by Curtis Malcom.

The Forsyth County Fire Department Honor Guard escorted families during the Avenue of Flags dedication. May 26, 2015 Milton In observance of the community’s health and safety, Milton will commemorate the day with a published ad, social media campaign honoring fallen troops, and a rebroadcast of their 2020 collaborative video. The video featured photos from past Milton Memorial Day celebrations with a speech authored by the National Foundation of Patriotism read and overlaid by local media personality Cadillac Jack.

“The City of Milton is keeping a watchful eye on local and statewide COVID numbers while looking forward to and planning for the day when we can all safely and comfortably gather together,” Milton’s Special Events Coordinator Patricia Wolf said.

Dunwoody Meanwhile, Dunwoody is providing residents with the option to attend a live ceremony in-person or virtually.

The event will be held at the Brook Run Park Veterans Memorial at 10 a.m. as a collaboration between the city and Dunwoody’s Veteran Events Planning Committee. DeKalb County Commissioner Steve Bradshaw will serve as the keynote speaker for the celebration.

“Last year, our Memorial Day Ceremony was held virtually,” Mayor Lynn Deutsch said. “This year, I’m grateful for the option to safely gather to honor and remember those who sacrificed their lives for their country and our freedom.”

Deutsch will open the ceremony leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Dunwoody

Veterans bow heads in prayer at the annual Cumming Veterans Day ceremony Nov. 10 at the Veterans War Memorial. Nov 14, 2017 Police Maj. Michael Carlson, Georgia National Guard Captain, will introduce a moment of silence before Ralf Morales, Associate Pastor of Iglesia Adventista Church, delivers the Invocation. The ceremony will also include special music performed by the Callanwolde Concert Band Brass Quintet. The commemorative ceremony is streaming live on the city’s official Facebook page.

Cumming Cumming has scheduled its in-person ceremony early on Friday, May 28 at 11 a.m. at the Veterans War Memorial. The event includes the new dedications into the Avenue of Flags display performed

each year.

“Each flag represents one or more local veterans who have passed on. It is an extremely moving moment when each new flag is unfurled for the first time by that veteran’s loved ones,” ceremony organizer Crystal Ledford said. “This ceremony is a beautiful event that we hope brings our community together in gratitude for all those who have nobly served our nation, and particularly to those who served but who are no longer with us.

Parking is available in the Castleberry Road parking deck. The event is open to the public and all are welcome to attend.

Pros and cons

2021 Mercedes-AMG E63 S To put some perspective on the potency of the 2021 MercedesAMG E63 S, it is powered by the same bi-turbo V8 that powers AMG’s largest three-row SUV, the GLS 63 S, which is significantly larger, JOE PARKER weighs over half-a-ton Editor more and is blazingly joe@appenmedia.com quick in its own way.

To slot that same engine in the E63 S is, well, a bit ridiculous. And I love it.

The E63 has eye-popping performance. With 603-hp on tap, it will rocket from 0-60 in just three seconds and on to a top speed of 186 mph. Its brakes have the stopping power of wet cement, and it grips even the curviest of roads like it was riding on rails.

Meanwhile, it’s loaded with luxury features with pristine fit and finish, the cabin is ultra-modern in appearance and it’s practical for everyday use.

The E63 is, in short, a fantastic, hyper-sporty sedan.

Power from the bi-turbo V8 is instantaneous and brutal. The huge dose of

power is sent to all four wheels via AMG’s 4MATIC+ permanent all-wheel drive system with variable torque distribution, but it definitely caters to the rear under acceleration and is happy to give its highperformance summer tires a workout.

For the truly brave, 2021 models are also fitted with a drift mode. I must admit, a drift mode with the 63’s vicious power was not something I was brave enough to test on public roads, but given its overall performance, I don’t feel like I missed out on any fun.

Gear changes from the AMG-specific “multi-clutch” 9-speed automatic transmission are lightning fast, and while paddle shifters are fitted, at no point did I feel they were necessary. In all driving modes, shifts are quick, smooth and smart. A wet clutch replaces the torque converter to save weight and increase responsiveness, and the system has a double-clutching feature. It is a gem of a transmission.

That aids the 63’s acuity in corners, where it really shines. Sporting AMG Ride Control+ — with its multi-chamber air suspension and adaptive dampening system, a rear limited-slip differential, aluminum suspension components and independent wheel control — the 63 S is

a bona fide corner carver.

It provides simply astonishing level of grip and prowess through turns with nary a protest from the tires thanks to the supreme composure of the ride.

Between its power and handling, public roads, no matter how hard they are attacked, simply can’t challenge the 63. The AMG dismisses even the curviest of mountain roads with ease, like Michael Phelps being challenged to a freestyle race against, well, me.

And all the while, there is a wonderful soundtrack coming from the adjustable, sport exhaust.

Though the 63’s powerplant is fitted with two turbos, engine noise doesn’t suffer. The V8 purrs, growls and bellows the type of tune that causes body hair to stand at attention. Its noise is so good, something else might be standing at attention when the engine is in the mid to high rev range.

The sport exhaust is adjustable and can be changed either via a knob on the restyled steering wheel, or with a button on the center stack. But as far as I’m concerned, these buttons are useless — I never ran the 63 in its quieter setting.

When driven with gusto, the E 63 S

Pros: Jaw-dropping engine performance, supreme handling prowess, blends brutal performance with upscale luxury Cons: Unforgiving ride, huge price jump over E 53 model, some controls are difficult to use Overall: The E63 S is everything a buyer could want in super sport sedan Starting price: $108,550 MPG figures (city/highway/combined): 18/15/22 has little competition. But what makes it stand out so well is its ability to comfort passengers on the mundane, everyday drive.

The 63 pampers passengers with rich amenities like supple leather, carbon-fiber trim and top-tier materials in a modern and stylish cabin.

And though the 63 may be a snarling beast when called upon, the V8 is content to cruise around town without much drama. The lux cabin is also quiet and will easily accommodate four adults with a generously sized trunk.

Local golf teams capture state titles

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com GEORGIA — Three local teams earned championships at the Georgia High School Association golf state finals held at several courses May 17-18.

The Lambert girls continued their dominance of the competition in the state’s highest classification, winning their seventh state championship in the last eight years, and the Milton boys won their second state title and first in nine years.

Several other local teams had strong showings at the finals.

Class 7A boys Milton boys golf led throughout the Class 7A boys finals at Spring Hill Country Club in Tifton, outpacing the field by 16 strokes to capture the program’s first state championship since 2012.

The Eagles finished the two-day tournament at 22-over-par, 16 strokes ahead of Lambert and more than 40 strokes ahead of West Forsyth in third.

Milton led by nine strokes after the first round and cut their team total by six strokes in the second day of play.

The Eagles were led by three golfers placing in the top-5 in individual play, including a low-medal win by Craig Long, who shot a 73 and 72 for a 1-overpar finish.

Long had six birdies, 23 pars and seven bogies through the tournament to beat the field.

Teammate Rahul Rajendran started the second round tied for seventh and improved his second-round score by five strokes to take second at 3-over-par.

Will Jones tied for fourth at 5-over-par through both rounds.

Mason Fundingsland rounded out the Eagles’ scoring with a 13-over-par performance, good for 16th overall.

Though Lambert couldn’t keep pace with Milton, the Longhorns bested the rest of the field by 25 strokes to finish as state runner-up.

Lambert had all four of its scoring players place in the top-20, led by Myles Jones, who tied for fourth at 5-over-par.

Nick Schwendiman was ninth, Luke Cusick tied for 11th and Wesley Hu improved his second-round score by five strokes to finish 18th.

West Forsyth, the 2019 Class 7A champs, earned another podium finish this year by placing 25 strokes behind Lambert for third.

Jimmy Coleman led the Wolverines, tying for seventh at 7-over-par.

Roswell improved its second-round team total by 14 strokes to place seventh overall in a logjam of teams. The Hornets were edged by Lowndes by one stroke but beat out North Gwinnett by a single stroke to take seventh.

Roswell’s Tommie Methvin and Julian Krone tied for 19th.

Class 7A girls The Lambert girls continued their dynasty with the program’s seventh championship in eight years and left no doubt during the state finals at Sunset Country Club in Moultrie. The Longhorns outpaced the field by 21-strokes in each round to finish at 10-over-par, 42 strokes ahead of Peachtree Ridge.

Milton boys golf captured the Class 7A championship May 18 at Spring Hill Country Club in Tifton, the Eagles’ second state championship and first since 2012.

Craig Long was the low-medalist for the tournament, finishing 1-over-par for the two-round event.

Golf: Continued from Page 18 The Longhorns nearly had a perfect tournament with their four scoring players all finishing in the top-5 in individual play.

Averi Cline defended her crown as the low medalist in 7A girls competition, shooting a 73 and 72 for a 1-over-par finish with eight birdies, 19 pars and nine bogeys.

Cline beat out teammate Sara Im, the individual state runner-up at 4-overpar, who shot two rounds of 74. Iris Cao completed the podium sweep for Lam-

Parker: Continued from Page 17 Ride quality in the 63 is not as velvety as the standard E-Class, road imperfections will be felt, but it’s not too harsh to be unusable on a grocery run.

Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and wireless charging are standard along with two 12.3-inch screens serving as displays for the gauge cluster and infotainment system. While there are knobs for inputs like climate control or driving settings, using most of the infotainment features requires using the touchpad system, which can be finicky to use. The revamped steering wheel also comes with touch controls and are similarly annoying to use.

Overall though, the E 63 S is easy to love Still, there is an elephant in the room — its price. Models start at $108,550, and ticking off a few options, such as an upgraded Burmester Surround Sound system, head-up display, premium paint

bert with a 5-over-par finish.

Sharon Mun rounded out the Longhorns’ scoring with a 9-over-par performance, good for fifth.

Alpharetta placed fourth in team scores, finishing three strokes behind Colquitt County. The Raiders’ Mahima Vurupatur led the field after the first day of competition at even, with a 79 in her second round, placing her fourth overall.

South Forsyth entered the second round tied for ninth, but the War Eagles improved their second-day total by 10 strokes to finish sixth. Kennedy Arnette led South with a 22-over-par performance to place 12th.

Forsyth Central’s Samantha Dewendt competed as an individual and shot an 84 and 88 to tie for 17th. and the Driver Assistance Package with its loads of useful driver’s aids, and the 63 will topple the $120,000 mark.

The 63’s price tag brings into question whether it is worth the jump up from the E 53 sedan. Sure, the 53 is way down on power compared to the 63 with 429-hp on tap, but it presents a staggering cost savings of about $34,000.

According to AMG’s online “build and price” tool, you can outfit a E 53 with every non-conflicting option — every single one, including premium paint and the most expensive optional wheels — and it still would come up about just short of the 63’s starting price.

Is that worth the sacrifice in power?

From the driver’s seat, probably not. But it is certainly worth bearing in mind.

Then again, it’s hard to put a price on just how great the E 63 S is.

It provides incredible performance in an upscale, sumptuous package that hits all the right buttons whether it’s taken through its paces or used to the drop the kids off at school.

The E 63 S is a gem of an ultra-sporty sedan.
