Atlanta man arrested for property damage FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies responded to a CVS along Buford Highway after a shopper reported damage to his car Aug. 12.

The victim told deputies someone damaged the driver’s side mirror. The car had a video recording system that captured the damage. It showed Wakil Lutalo Allah, 49, breaking the mirror, according to deputies.

Officers found the Atlanta man at a nearby McDonald’s along Buford Highway.

He had a glass pipe with residue that tested positive for cocaine, deputies alleged.

Allah was arrested and charged with criminal trespass damage to property.

Deputies arrest suspect accused of store robbery

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies arrested a Cumming teen suspected of stealing money from a Kroger cash register along Bethelview Road on Aug. 12.

Alberto Stuart Robles, 19, was charged with strong armed robbery of a business. According to deputies, Robles used the CoinStar machine at the grocery store and took his voucher to a cashier. When the cashier opened the register to cash him out, Robles grabbed all the money from the drawer and fled.

Employees gave officers a description of the suspect and provided a tag of his getaway vehicle. Deputies used that information to track Robles.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Three people were arrested at Vanns Tavern Park on Aug. 1 following a scuffle with Georgia Department of Natural Resources officers.

Game wardens stopped a pontoon boat piloted by 29-year-old Clinton Matthew Ortega on Lake Lanier. According to the officers, Ortega’s pontoon had no bow lights on when the game wardens stopped him at TwoMile Creek.

The officers suspected Ortega, of Hannah, South Carolina, of being under the influence and had him board their vessel. The officers gave him field sobriety tests and determined he was too drunk to operate the boat.

Ortega became combative when the game wardens handcuffed him, according to the arrest report. He repeatedly stood up, despite officers’ orders for him to sit down. During a struggle to gain control of Ortega, two of the passengers on his boat boarded the DNR vessel and tried to stop the arrest.

McKenzie Ann West, 33, of Charlotte, N.C., laid over Ortega and refused to move. Her 61-year-old father Steven Glenn West, of Gainesville, also allegedly intervened. Both were charged with obstruction of law enforcement officers.

During the incident, Ortega attempted to jump off the boat to escape the game wardens. An officer used a stun gun to subdue him.

He was charged with boating under the influence, two counts of terroristic threats and acts, operating boat at night with improper light and two counts of obstruction of law enforcement officers.

County approves liquor license Builder wins approval to proceed with large-scale home development amid neighbors’ protests

BY TIFFANY MORGAN newsroom@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Discussion of a conditional alcohol license for a business on River Club Drive drew more than a smattering of neighbor protest Aug. 19 at the regular Forsyth County Commission meeting Aug. 19.

Chattahoochee River Club residents Keith Scott, Scott Cooper, Rachel King and Joe Hughes spoke in opposition to the store. Cooper said it does not fit the context of a familyfriendly development, as many other residents agreed.

Scott said he doubts anyone thinks it’s a good idea to drop a 10,000-square-foot liquor store right across from the entrance to a neighborhood.

Residents also cited one study from local certified real estate appraiser Bruce Penn that shows depreciation of property values near retail liquor stores.

Attorney Jonathan Beard, representing the business owner, said the biggest issue with residents has been access into the business from River Club Drive. He said the zoning on the property dates back more than 20 years, and it anticipated an entrance and exit out of the business. Even so, he said, the owners have agreed to construct an entrance-only access into the property from River Club Drive.

Patrons of the store would have access to an exit onto Buford Highway through the retail property.

Beard added that the store owner has submitted landscaping plans that far exceed anything required in the zoning, and the homeowners association has approved those plans.

County Commission Chairwoman Cindy Jones Mills said that Commis-

sioner Laura Semanson worked with the owner of the liquor store to address most of the concerns raised by residents.

“I applaud all of your efforts for trying to work together through a bad situation,” Jones Mills said.

Jones Mills said that the owner has been very accommodating to the requests of changes in order to follow public sentiment – including changing the liquor store name.

County Attorney Ken Jarrard said he is not aware of any time the county has conditioned an alcohol license with what appear to be zoning conditions.

For her part, Semanson said approving a liquor license is different from a zoning action. Liquor licenses can be approved administratively, and the County Commission cannot weigh issues like traffic in the decision.

She said she engaged with the property owners to do what she could to make a bad situation better for the community.

Commissioners approved the license 5-0.

In other matters at the meeting, a group of local mothers spoke to honor their children who have died from a drug overdose. National Overdose Awareness Day was officially declared to be observed in the county of Forsyth on Aug. 31.

One of the mothers who lost her son to substance overdose, said it is not just their children who are dying but people from all walks of life, education levels and ages.

“I just want to change one heart at a time,” she said. “We’re so thankful for a community that is going to support us and support people that are suffering and struggling so they don’t join our children.”

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Homeowners along Old Federal Road may gain more neighbors soon after the Forsyth County Commission gave final approval Aug. 19 on plans for a development that will include 177 single-family homes.

The commission vote followed weeks of negotiations with the developer, Rockhaven Homes, and the county.

Commissioners introduced the matter for public hearing at a special called meeting Aug. 12 to allow residents to weigh in on the plan.

The development includes 158 acres across from the county landfill on Old Federal Road.

The discussions involved the effect a large-scale development would have on surrounding property owners and on the Etowah River.

Attorney Ethan Underwood, speaking on behalf of the developer, pointed out that much of the site has already been approved for construction. Underwood also objected to conditions the county placed on the property 15 years ago because, he said, many of them have become irrelevant considering recent road improvements.

The property has been zoned residential/conservation since 2005. Most of the adjacent land is zoned agricultural.

Underwood said the current site plan includes 60-foot buffers around the perimeter and 73 acres of primary and secondary undisturbed conservation areas with significant frontage on the Etowah River.

Underwood also said developers had agreed to prohibit land disturbance on the conservation areas in perpetuity with a conservation easement with the county.

Neighbors took issue with the plan at the public hearing.

Andy Henderson, a homeowner with land directly to the east of the development, said he and his family do not intend to grant access for the sewer to run through his land. Henderson also said that the proposed plan does not preserve any land.

“This plan conserves nothing other than un-buildable land and required buffers that would be required even without being a conservation subdivision,” Henderson said. “We’re not going to relinquish any of our property rights or rights to privacy and will exhaust every legal objection under the law.”

Resident Caitlyn Cleveland, whose property is surrounded by the proposed development on three sides, said she moved to Forsyth County after a long

Attorney Ethan Underwood speaks on behalf of Rockhaven Homes and their plans for a residential development on Old Federal Road. The county gave final approval for the plan with a list of more than two dozen conditions.

Resident Caitlyn Cleveland speaks during the Aug. 12 public hearing in opposition to zoning condition changes on a building site on Old Federal Road, where she lives. search to find peace and privacy. She said a 60-foot buffer is not enough to ensure the quiet she had invested in through her home purchase.

Right now, Cleveland said, there are fewer than 20 residents on Old Federal Road, and the additional housing will not only be a noise issue but will also be a public safety issue with higher traffic in an area with several blind drives and hills.

“It’s really going to completely change my experience of living on my property.

Not just from impacting the views but also noise levels,” Cleveland said. “The traffic situation on Old Federal Road is already a huge concern.”

Forsyth County’s latest set of conditions on the 158 acres, approved Aug. 19, include construction of a 25-foot greenway trail along the north side of the river. The trail will be dedicated to the county to ensure public access. The list also includes black vinyl fencing along the northern bank of the Etowah River and along the boundary with the Henderson property.

As rural Georgia empties, political power shifts north

By MAGGIE LEE Atlanta Civic Circle GEORGIA — New U.S. Census data shows more Georgia residents are concentrating around metro Atlanta now than they were 10 years ago. Consolidation might be in the future for rural Georgia’s congressional or state legislative districts.

There are about a million more Georgians now than there were 10 years ago, according to Census Bureau figures published Aug. 11. The state has a population of 10,711,908 now versus 9,687,653 in 2010.

Growth of more than 10 percent still wasn’t enough to qualify Georgia for an additional member of the U.S. House of Representatives. So, there will still be 14 House members, now representing a population that’s much more likely to live north of Interstate 20 than just a decade ago.

That’s the conundrum that will face the GOP-controlled State Legislature this year as it redraws political boundaries: Every Georgia House, Senate and congressional district must have the same number of adults.

But it would take Georgia’s 85 leastpopulous counties just to equal the whopping 1.07 million people now living in Fulton County alone.

Overall, 67 of Georgia’s 159 counties lost population between 2010 and 2020. For some counties, like Candler, the drop is less than a percent, almost a rounding error: 10,998 in 2010 and 10,981 now.

Growth begets growth: The longer the arrow, the more a county’s population grew or fell between 2010 and 2020.

But in others, population decline is drastic. Both Dooley and Telfair counties lost about a quarter of their populations.

About 4,000 people apiece — or, in metro Atlanta terms, one big subdivision.

ROSWELL, Ga. — The Ann Jackson Art Gallery hosted its 31st and final public gallery showing of Theodore Seuss Geisel’s artwork, the artist also known as Dr. Seuss.

The Ann Jackson Gallery has been a family-owned business for 50 years and has had hundreds of showings since. Owner Valerie Jackson said the show was a huge success.

“The turnout was amazing, as well as the love and support from our wonderful collectors and friends,” Jackson said.

Throughout the last days of July, nearly 150 people came to the showing to marvel at Seuss’s work. Dr. Seuss was most known for his children’s books, but much of art included his “hidden” pieces, as Jackson said,

known as the secret art of Dr. Seuss.

Before his popular children’s books, Dr. Seuss’s artwork began with the U.S. Army in the animation and film divisions. He had over 400 political cartoons published. He also served as the chief editorial cartoonist for the New York newspaper PM from 1940-1948.

Jackson said she is proud of her Seuss collection, as their gallery is one of 50 in the world eligible to host his art. Jackson’s is the most extensive collection.

As earlier reported, the gallery, located in Roswell’s historic downton, has planned to cease public art showings due to expiration of a lease agreement.

But, the show may not be over.

Jackson said after looking at locations in Crabapple and talking with their current landlord, there might be hope to keep their family art business open.

I think our customers are going to be surprised by our new tasting room but blown away by the spirits we serve.

Legends Distillery opens new tasting room and VIP space

BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com CUMMING, Ga. — Legends Distillery celebrated the grand opening of its new tasting room and VIP event space with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Aug. 14.

Mayor Troy Brumbalow cut the ceremonial ribbon unveiling the newly renovated space. Guests and residents enjoyed live music and food trucks serving burgers, wings, tacos, and more to compliment the spirits. The staff offered guests a free drink on the house to commemorate the next step for the acclaimed distillery.

“Our community here in Forsyth County and especially the City of Cumming has been truly spectacular,” said Vice President and CMO Chris Green.

“We’re getting great response from customers who have been loyal to our brand and those who are new to discovering Legends, and we feel like we can give back by offering a great location that is comfortable and inviting to visit whilst enjoying our spirits.”

In March 2020, SpiritsUSA launched their Legends brand before the onset of the pandemic. Due to COVID’s impact on local business, the distillery struggled to release their spirits until late August that year. Doors were closed for over a year before they could find their footing and launch their product to the public. “…To see the tasting room finally finished and opening to the public is a relief, and we’re excited about pouring our award-winning vodka and bourbons for our customers,” Green said. “What we’ve built and the spirits we make are truly unique, and I am so proud of the team we have here at Legends.”

The grand opening also marked the release of their new bourbon. The 122.4

proof Single Barrel Bourbon will remain a distillery exclusive for guests visiting the location. After successfully marketing their spirits for purchase in more than 400 stores and restaurants in Georgia since their initial launch, Green made it his goal to provide a tasting room for customers to try their spirits before purchasing a bottle.

“When building a brand, you have to get the product into the hands of the consumer,” Green said. “So being able to pour our spirits for customers and allowing them to try Legends…is a great way to explore something new. We are confident that once you try Legends, you’ll be a customer for life.”

The award-winning distillery is at 210 Industrial Park Drive. For more information, visit www.SpiritsUSA.com or follow them on Facebook.

“I think our customers are going to be surprised by our new tasting room but blown away by the spirits we serve,” Green said.

Legends’ award-winning wheated bourbon has been the distillery’s staple since originally opening.

Benzene in Certain Sunscreens – What You Need to Know Brought to you by – Dr. Brent Taylor, Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Alarmingly, a laboratory named Valisure detected toxic levels of benzene in 78 common sunscreen and after-sun products such as certain brands of aloe vera gel. Their findings are important because benzene is a carcinogen – a substance that causes cancer, and we apply sunscreen specifically to avoid cancer.

Benzene is known to cause leukemia and lymphoma. How exactly benzene usually causes cancer has not been fully characterized. It appears that benzene can create toxic breakdown products in the lungs and the liver. These products react with DNA to result in broken DNA and altered chromosomes. The disrupted genes can no longer keep cells from growing or can get cells stuck in a permanently growing state, and cancer is set in motion.

Benzene is a chemical solvent and a basic ingredient in the manufacture of many chemicals. According to the CDC, benzene ranks in the “top 20 chemicals for production volume” and is used to make plastics, resins, lubricants, dyes, rubber, detergents, drugs and more. Benzene is found at significant levels in cigarette smoke and in some e-cigarette vapors. As an aside, I recently saw a billboard on the side of the highway that said “Be Patriotic.

Vape!” A grand American flag was in the background of the billboard. If you know a youngster who is considering vaping, please let him or her know that there is no proven connection between vaping and patriotism (though scientists employed by the vaping industry may be working on it).

Given how common benzene is, it may be surprising to learn just how dangerous it can be even in small doses. In the United States, OSHA (the Occupational Health and Safety Administration) defines the permissible exposure limit as 1 part per million (ppm) in the air during an average work day. This is a limit for on-the-job exposure. In contrast, the limit set by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is 2 parts per million (ppm) for a drug product “with a significant therapeutic advance.”

The guidance is that benzene is not to be used at all if its use is avoidable, and the laboratory Valisure found no detectable benzene in over 200 sunscreen and aftersun products tested. Therefore, there is no reason that we should tolerate benzene in any of our sunscreens.

Valisure’s list of benzene-containing

sunscreens and after-sun products was broad and included major manufacturers. To see the lists of products that did and did not test positive, visit: https://bit. ly/3w8LyJL and https://bit.ly/3v8KzYP. Well-respected companies such as Neutrogena, CVS Health and EltaMD made both lists with some products testing positive and others not. More than 75% of the identified products are sprays. Unfortunately, there is no easy rule of thumb to avoid benzene. Dermatologists typically divide sunscreens into physical blockers (those that contain zinc and titanium to reflect the sun) and chemical blockers (those that use chemicals to “quench” ultraviolet rays). Regretfully, both physical and chemical blocker sunscreens are on the list of benzene-containing sunscreens.

Importantly, Valisure’s tests on the sunscreens did not identify benzene as a breakdown product of the tested sunscreens. Therefore, the presence of benzene appears to be from contamination [during the manufacturing process] and not from breakdown of the ingredients.

What should we do? The best approach is likely to pick a sunscreen from the noncontaminated list or not on the contaminated list and continue using sunscreen.

We know that the sun causes more than 3 million skin cancers per year in the United States. And we should be thankful that the FDA and laboratories like Valisure are helping to keep us safe. What did my family do? We threw away a sunscreen that happened to be on the bad list and still applied sunscreen during our most recent beach trip. No company is perfect. No process is perfect. No product is perfect.

Our job as parents, spouses or children is not to eliminate risk but to manage it to the best of our ability, and sunscreen continues to be a very important and proven method for reducing the risk of skin cancer. This was true even before Valisure’s research report. And Valisure appears to be helping us make sure that a good product gets even better.

If you or a loved one has a skin care need, 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 a Harvard-graduate, a board certified dermatologist and vein care expert, and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon.

Brought to you by- Jay Looft, Medicare Insurance Broker, SeniorSource Medicare Solutions By now, you have probably seen the commercials on Medicare insurance advertising that you can receive your monthly Medicare Part B Premium back in your Social Security Check...

Just Call Now! While Medicare Advantage companies do offer a Part B Premium Reduction plan, some television advertisements you may have seen don’t live up to their expectations. Somewhere in the United States, I’m confident there is a Medicare Advantage plan that will give you the entire Part B Premium back (currently $148.50 per month). However, this level of reduction is not currently available in the Atlanta area for the average Medicare beneficiary.

Most of the Medicare Advantage plans that offer the Part B Premium Reduction in Georgia for plan year 2021 do provide a reduction between $25-$75 per month. These plans come at a $0 monthly premium cost that include both

medical and prescription drug coverage.

These plan types can be a good fit for many Medicare beneficiaries!

A Part B Reduction Plan comes with different coverage amounts for areas such as doctor and hospital copays and brand name drug deductibles. It’s important to study the differences in the Part B premium reduction plans and the non-reduction plans (the “standard” Medicare Advantage plans), while evaluating your specific health needs, before choosing a new Medicare plan.

For questions about these Part B Premium Reduction plans, or other Medicare plan questions, contact us by phone at (770) 315-8145 or check us out online at www.SeniorSourceMedicare.com. **As a reminder, we are quickly approaching the start of the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period that runs from October 15 - December 7th, 2021. During this time, anyone on Medicare can make coverage changes for the upcoming year. We have several upcoming educational “Medicare 101” sessions that are open to anyone who wishes to learn more about the Medicare options- contact us for details.**

Tried & True - Classic Recipes from Our Community Brought to you by – Village Park Senior Living There is something universally inviting, comforting, and connective about the family dinner table. It’s the place where we not only share meals but where we share ideas, stories, and traditions with those we hold dearest. While the gatherings and the tables themselves may shift over the years, there are certain dishes that go from being passed around the dinner table to being passed down through generations. For Village Park Milton resident Sue H., one of those beloved family recipes is her signature dish—Sue’s Sesame Chicken & Asparagus Pasta.

This flavorful pasta dish has been one of Sue’s go-to meals for occasions ranging from a ladies’ luncheon to dinner on the boat at Lake Lanier, to a summer holiday dish when plated with a little sense of style. Loved by her husband and five children, all three of Sue’s daughters make this light and refreshing dinner for their families now on a regular basis. While many residents at Village Park choose to gather with friends for chef-prepared meals in the community’s bistro and full-service restaurant, Village Park Milton’s Cot-

tages & Bungalows, Independent Living, and 2-bedroom Assisted Living homes feature beautifully appointed kitchens where residents can continue to enjoy the classic recipes served at their family tables for years. We hope you enjoy this delicious meal passed down from Village Park families to yours.

This dish easily serves 4-5 people and takes less than 30 minutes to enjoy.

Sue recommends serving it with crispy bread and a crisp white wine.

Sue’s Sesame Chicken & Asparagus Pasta Ingredients: 8 ounces linguine 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon brown sugar 6 tablespoons chunky peanut butter ¼ cup soy sauce 6 tablespoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon hot chile oil (Sue says to use to taste) 2 boneless and skinless cooked chicken breast halves 5 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted 1-pound thin asparagus, trimmed 3 scallions (green onions), white bulb and 3 inches green, cut into 2-inch

julienne 1 small cucumber, halved, seeded, and cut into ¼ - inch dice Directions: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook at a rolling boil until just tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, drain again, and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Place the garlic, vinegar, brown sugar, peanut butter, and soy sauce in a food processor. Process for 1 minute.

With the motor running, slowly add the sesame and hot chili oils through the feed tube, and process until well blended.

Shred the chicken into 2-inch julienne and toss with the linguine. Add the sauce and 4 tablespoons of sesame seeds and toss to coat well.

Cut the asparagus on the diagonal into 1-inch lengths. Blanch in a saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute. Drain, rinse under cold water, and pat dry.

Place the linguine and the chicken in a large flat serving bowl and arrange the asparagus on top. Sprinkle with the scallions, cucumber, and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Serve at room temperature.

Pandemic brings added appreciation for high school sports GEORGIA — At any level, sports gives fans a community with a common cause. It provides a level of entertainment few other pursuits can provide, because it can, almost simultaneously, hand us JOE PARKER the “thrill of victory” Editor joe@appenmedia.com and the “agony of defeat.” It allows us to cheer on our flesh-and-blood “heroes” and witness their failures and triumphs in real time. Sports can be a showcase in overcoming adversity, show us that underdogs can still triumph, exemplify the nature of hard work paying off.

But sports also provide an escape from our daily troubles.

For a few hours, we can let go of our day-to-day anxieties, stressors and burdens to envelop ourselves in a game, a community and a common goal of “win.”

And amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we need this escape more than ever.

Arrests: Continued from Page 2 Aug. 7 on Ga. 400 for DUI and location/ illumination of taillights.

Layne Sue Winters, 22, of Crest Oak Way, Cumming, was arrested Aug. 8 on Keith Bridge Road for DUI and failure to maintain lane.

Luke Thomas Clark, 39, of Falls Drive, Cumming, was arrested Aug. 9 on Ga. 400 for DUI and failure to maintain lane.

Colleen Downey Lamb, 65, of Jennifer Court, Dahlonega, was arrested Aug. 9 on Roper Road for DUI, failure to obey stop sign and failure to maintain lane.

Carly Brooke Warmath, 30, of Lebanon, Tennessee, was arrested Aug. 9 on Old Atlanta Road for DUI, possession of heroin, possession of methamphetamine and sale, distribution, or possession of dangerous drugs.

Perhaps the most lasting impact of the 2020-21 high school sports season was not games won, trophies lifted or the bragging rights of beating a rival, it was just the appreciation of getting to suit up and play or watch our teams hit the field.

This was amid many new rules put in place because of the pandemic. Hundreds of competitions were cancelled statewide due to COVID cases, sometimes just hours before they were set to begin. Many teams played in front of empty stadiums.

Still, all were thankful that full seasons were played in all sports, especially following the cancellation of the 2020 spring season and the devastation and disappointment of all those involved in high school baseball, lacrosse, soccer and other sports.

I recently spoke with Johns Creek head football coach Matt Helmerich, who put things into perspective.

“We always talk about not taking anything for granted, and the kids have seen that first-hand now,” he said. “After last year, they know nothing is guaranteed.”

That feeling, of not taking sports and competition for granted, may be the big-

gest storyline of the 2021-22 high school season. And every player, coach and fan will enter this year with a sharply increased love and admiration for the game.

The trouble is, we are far from seeing the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many, and I put myself in this camp, thought we were seeing the light at the end of the tunnel a few months ago.

But with the highly transmissible Delta variant and pandemic fatigue that has seen many people dismiss strong social distancing measures and ditch their masks, regardless of vaccination status, we enter the 2021-22 even worse off. When the 2020 high school football season kicked off a few weeks late, the weekly average of new cases statewide was about 2,000. At kickoff for this season on Aug. 20, that figure was over doubled, and the statewide healthcare system is again overwhelmed. Unfortunately, many reports from these physicians is that the fourth wave is hospitalizing more and more younger, healthier people.

It could easily be argued that, due to the current state of the local healthcare system and the highly contagious nature

Jimmy Samuel Beavers, 63, of Driver Lane, Cumming, was arrested Aug. 9 on Driver Lane for sale of methamphetamine, possession of drug related objects and possession of schedule I or II controlled substance with intent to distribute.

Brandon Matthew Hobby, 37, of Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth, was arrested Aug. 10 on Ga. 400 for DUI, transportation of alcohol container in vehicle and failure to maintain lane.

Terry Wayne Kelley, 60, of Yellow Creek Road, Ball Ground, was arrested Aug. 10 on Canton Highway for DUI, following too closely, possession of marijuana and two counts of possession of methamphetamine.

Chai Sreenivasu Kothagundu, 51, of Freedom Way, Cumming, was arrested Aug. 10 on Atlanta Highway for DUI, driving wrong side of roadway and hit and run.

Jacob Patrick Haskell, 26, of Arcadia Street, Dahlonega, was arrested Aug. 11 on Old Atlanta Road for DUI.

Javid Ghaffarzadeh, 33, of Morris Road, Alpharetta, was arrested Aug. 11 on Ga. 400 for DUI, failure to yield right of way to emergency vehicle, fleeing or attempting to elude, possession of open alcohol container by driver, failure to obey traffic control device and failure to maintain lane.

Favian Cortes Lopez, 34, of Baltimore, Maryland, was arrested Aug. 12 on Ga. 400 for DUI, possession of open alcohol container by driver and failure to maintain lane.

Christopher Lee Nagy, 31, of Monks Corner, South Carolina, was arrested Aug. 12 on Majors Road for DUI, possession of methamphetamine, making improper U turn and failure to maintain lane.

Carl Lee Hansard, 40, of Driftwood Circle, Cumming, was arrested Aug. 12 on Ga. 400 for DUI and failure to maintain lane.

Wakil Lutalo Allah, 49, of Washington Street SW, Atlanta, was arrested Aug. 12 on Buford Highway for possession of cocaine and criminal trespass.

of the Delta variant, even among those inoculated, we should actually be entering the 2021 high school sports season with even more safety regulations in place than last year. Instead, the state’s prep sports governing body, the GHSA, has essentially said it will approach this season, for now at least, as a “return to normal” while allowing local control over certain safety measures.

I truly hope it’s not a regrettable decision.

I sincerely wish that all these great student-athletes and coaches we have in North Fulton, Forsyth County and Dunwoody are able to play full seasons.

I hope that all involved with teams, from equipment managers, fans and parent volunteers to the coaching staff and players stay safe and healthy throughout the season and get to fully enjoy the escape that high school sports can provide from our daily troubles and worries.

One thing is for certain — they will not take any workout, team meeting, practice or game for granted. As fans, neither should we.
