By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police arrested a Cumming man Aug. 18 clocked traveling at 163 mph on southbound Ga. 400.

“When I saw that, I had to go and reread the report to make sure it wasn’t a typo,” said police spokesman Sgt. Howard Miller. “He was traveling that fast.”

Shortly after midnight that night, an officer patrolling Ga. 400 southbound near Old Milton Parkway saw a motorcycle speed past at a high rate of speed.

Radar clocked the driver at 163 mph in a 65-mph zone.

The first officer who spotted the motorcyclist was unable to pursue out of safety concerns, Miller said.

“The officer did activate his lights, but the motorcyclist was so far ahead, we couldn’t have pursued it even if we wanted to,” he added. “Motorcycles are a lot lighter, a lot faster, than a car.

in various crimes, we wouldn’t even attempt to pursue a motorcycle at those speeds. It’s just too dangerous.”

The officer called in the incident and turned onto the Holcomb Bridge Road exit. There, at the stoplight, the officer spotted the motorcyclist waiting at a red light behind an SUV. The officer once again activated his lights.

This time, the motorcyclist complied and pulled over.

According to the police report, the motorcyclist said he was “just out for a ride” and didn’t realize he had been going so fast. The motorcyclist added that the bike was quick and he “just barely squeezed the throttle.”

The motorcyclist, later identified as 30-year-old Alex Olson of Cumming, was arrested without incident and charged with speeding and reckless driving.

This isn’t the only recent speeding incident where the driver surpasses 100 mph.

“We’ve been getting a lot of them,” Miller said. “It seems like there’s been

a lot of people going at those speeds lately.”

That same night, police arrested another driver, 36-year-old Daniel North of Woodstock, for going 112 mph on Ga. 400. And on Aug. 21, police arrested another driver on Westside Parkway, where the speed zone is 40 mph, for traveling at 110 mph. The name of the third driver was not available at publication time.

Thankfully, Miller said, the drivers were all arrested before they could hurt themselves or anyone else.

He added that speed limits aren’t just signs. They’re put there for everyone’s safety, both the drivers and others around them.

“At those high speeds, making a simple mistake, an improper lane change — they’re not going to be able to stop or make the necessary adjustments quick enough before there’s a car crash,” Miller said. “And at those speeds, if something happens, it’s probably going to be pretty tragic.”

Forsyth tosses paper packets to go digital

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — After years of assembling all-paper packets for Board of Commissioners agenda meetings, Forsyth County is going digital.

The move from paper to pixel is expected to save money and will give residents a chance to follow the action at commission meetings like they never have before.

Beginning late this year, the county will post all board regular meeting and work session agenda documents on its website alongside the video of the meeting and the meeting minutes.

Right now, and for at least the past 10 years, county staff has had to print out hundreds of pages of background materials for agenda items, then bind them into booklets for each commissioner and top level staff. These items

include site plans, applications, ordinances, resolutions and other documentation provided for each agenda item.

There are normally 10-15 of these packets created for each regular meeting, county Chief Information Officer Brandon Kenney said. Making these packets available digitally will allow residents to access more information, he said, and it will reduce waste and time assembling the packets.

The procurement was made earlier this year, but the county doesn’t expect to set a project timeline and goals until later this month, Kenney said.

Neighboring counties and many nearby cities have had agenda documents available online for years. Gwinnett County began its system about 10 years ago. Online agendas and documents are also available in Dawson, Fulton and Hall counties.

“We need to be looking at more efficient ways to do things and to provide information more timely to our citizens,” Kenney said.

The move to online will also help the county save time and money at the administrative level and streamline the process of getting items on the agenda, he said. Currently, the county pays a third party company to print the packets for each meeting, which amounts to more than a thousand pages for each meeting.

County Commissioner Todd Levent said he started pushing for the change two years ago while he was commission chairman. The IT staff was busy at the time rebuilding the county’s website, Levent said, but now has the ability to implement the new system.

“It’s so I don’t have staff making these big, fat books and wasting so much paper,” he said. “It just didn’t

make a lot of sense.”

Communications Director Karen Shields said the county recycles the packets once they are no longer needed.

The digital system will save money by reducing the amount of time it takes to put the packet together and reducing printing and binding costs, Shields said.

“It’ll put the same information at everyone’s fingertips,” she said.

Chester Kramarski, a frequent visitor to commission meetings, said he was unaware that these materials were not already available to residents. Currently, he said, his friends might send him the agenda or schedule beforehand, but he doesn’t often go online for meeting agendas or videos.

With this new resource, Kramarski said it’s possible he will use it for additional information on items he’s interested in.

County growls, but yields to Cumming’s latest annexation proposal

BY PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — County commissioners moved Aug. 20 to take no action on the City of Cumming’s annexation of some 13.5 acres of property along Pilgrim Road.

It was a bitter pill to swallow, and beneath the formal silence, shouts of indignation rang loud and clear.

In recent weeks, the county has taken a dim view on a string of bids by the city to grow its boundaries.

Earlier this month, county commissioners voted to challenge a bid by the city to annex 151 acres on the eastern edge of town. That request, filed with the city July 8, originated from One Alliance Center of Atlanta and includes plans for a mixed-use development to the west of Market Place, with retail, office and residential elements. The proposal would increase the density in the area by nearly half what is currently allowed under the county’s comprehensive land use plan.

The latest annexation proposal includes three parcels on 13.5 acres, all

zoned agriculture. The property includes a portion of a planned facility for the Forsyth County School District. Part of the school property is already within the city limits.

County Commission Chairwoman Laura Semanson called the move “absolutely a grab” by the city.

The site represents a sliver of land sandwiched between the historic city limits and another tract to the north – some 125 acres – that the city annexed in July.

Under the proposed annexation, the city would rezone the property from its current agriculture use to institutional on two of the parcels and “AP” on the third.

AP is a new zoning category that would allow the city to keep the property at its current agriculture zoning for one year, then change it to something else before another four months elapses. If the property is not rezoned within the first 16 months following the annexation, it automatically converts to residential zoning.

County Attorney Ken Jarrard said he’d never heard of this before and was not familiar with AP zoning used anywhere.

“The notion that it’s going to be kept at our zoning criteria is probably to blunt any objection we might have that says it’s a material change of zoning,” Jarrard said at an Aug. 6 commission work session. “They can say ‘that’s not true, it’s your very own zoning.’”

Under Georgia law, a county cannot challenge an annexation unless it can show, among other things, that the property’s new use would either add burden to the county’s services or dramatically change land use.

At that same Aug. 6 meeting, Semanson called out the city for telling the school district it would not issue permits for construction unless all its property was within the city limits.

“This has never been the case,” Semanson said. “We’ve worked with split parcels in the past. I don’t see what the gain to the board of Education is playing along with this. I really don’t, unless they legitimately felt like they were not going to be served by the city in any other way.”

Indeed, at the Aug. 20 work session, County Administrator Eric Johnson reviewed a string of emails he had received that chronicled communication dating back to April between the school district, the City of Cumming and Forsyth County regarding permitting for the school district’s construction project.

The emails relate a progression of the permitting process with all three entities in agreement. Then, in July, city planners notified the school district that after meeting with Cumming Mayor Troy Brumbalow, the city would be going before the Board of Education requesting

approval of an annexation for that portion of the district property not already within the city limits.

“I can only assume that the [city] planning director’s commitment to work consistent with how we previously have [with] projects that crossed over jurisdictional lines had been overruled by the mayor,” Johnson said.

Reached later in the week, Mayor Brumbalow said it was the school’s decision to annex.

At the same time, he said, the school district is proposing two buildings – one almost completely within the current city limits, and another almost completely outside the limits. He said it would make no sense for the city to permit and inspect a building it has no jurisdiction over.

“That would be like us inspecting a building in Dawson County,” he said.

“We have no jurisdiction there.”

In voting to take no action on the annexation, county commissioners said they hope their silence speaks volumes to the city.

Just in case, though, they directed the county attorney to draft a letter informing Cumming city leaders that they were disappointed by their decision to abandon a tradition of cooperation that had served both sides well in the past.

Viewing this year’s progression of Cumming annexations on a map prompted Commissioner Todd Levent to sit back in wonder.

“That’s clever,” he said. “I’m not saying I like it, but it’s clever. Wow.” To which Semanson remarked: “There are other words to describe it better.”

Local attorney announces bid for State Senate District 48

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DULUTH, Ga. — Republican Matt Reeves has announced he intends to run for State Senate District 48 in 2020.

Reeves was the 2018 Republican candidate for the seat, which represents parts of Duluth, Johns Creek, Suwanee, Peachtree Corners and Berkeley Lake. He lost to Democrat Zahra Karinshak 53.6 percent to 46.4 percent.

Reeves is a partner at Andersen, Tate & Carr, has served as a Rotary Club president and has REEVES been active in leadership in many local civic, nonprofit and business groups in the area for more than 16 years.

“First, I want to thank the over 30,000 citizens who voted for me last cycle, and I will continue to keep reaching out to voters who didn’t,” Reeves said.

“If you want a bipartisan problem-solver focused on health care, our schools, keeping our community safe and fiscal

conservatism, then I’m your candidate.”

He and his wife Suzette Reeves and their three school-age children live in Duluth and attend Perimeter Church.

Reeves graduated with honors from UGA School of Law and Mercer University.

“I care deeply about our families, homeowners, working people, and small businesses and will fight hard in the State Senate for our values and quality of life, working with our local elected officials,” Reeves said. “We are going to work hard to raise money and bring our message to all the voters in District 48 in 2020.”

Reeves could be running for an open seat. Karinshak announced earlier this month she intends to run for U.S. House District 7.

With a margin of around 400 votes, District 7, which represents parts of Gwinnett and Forsyth counties, was the closest U.S. House race in the country in 2018. Since Rep. Rob Woodall announced in February he would not seek re-election, competitive primaries are taking shape on both sides.

Carrington Academy campers donate $1,400 for cancer benefit

By ADAM DARBY adam@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — Carrington Academy’s summer campers recently donated $1,400 to the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for childhood cancer research.

To raise the money, campers from the Alpharetta, Braselton, Cumming and Suwanee locations set up lemonade stands for families, staff, teachers and fellow campers. The school decided to initiate the project to teach their young campers the importance of helping children who are less fortunate.

“The campers enjoyed planning the lemonade stand, from the beginning of what it would look like all the way to who would run the stand each day,” said Christy Cha, principal of Carrington Academy at Windermere in Cumming.

“Their sense of ownership over the whole project was amazing. It was wonderful listening to the students speak with parents about the lemonade stand and who they were raising money for.”

Cha said student understood the mission and that all proceeds were going to help other children.

“To hear the students talk about

helping other children was very rewarding,” she said.

For two weeks in July, six schools worked together to help the organization. After researching charities that are designated to benefit other children, Carrington Academy selected Alex’s Lemonade Stand as the perfect campaign to lend their efforts. But it was a personal connection with a member of the administration that helped ensure

the final decision to concentrate on cancer research.

“Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation is a delightful example of how children can help children and we want to be an integral part of finding a cure for childhood cancer,” Cha said. “This is very close to our hearts as we have a principal at one of the Carrington Academy locations who has a daughter with leukemia.”

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation was founded in 2005 by Jay and Liz Scott. Their daughter, Alexanda “Alex,” was diagnosed with childhood cancer after her first birthday. At the age of 4, she told her parents she wanted to set up a lemonade stand of her own and give the money to doctors who can help find a cure. The cause was an instant success raising $2,000 in just one day. When Alex died in 2004 at the age of 8, her parents took her plans to the next level.

The organization quickly began to raise money for cancer research while supporting families of cancer children and raising awareness about the importance of finding a cure.

According to the foundation’s website, more than $150 million has been raised since the first lemonade stand in 2000.

The Carrington Academy campers shared

their desire to help others. Upon discovering the efforts from the Carrington locations, the foundation was excited to hear about the devotion and hard work eagerly displayed by the campers.

“I think Carrington Academy’s efforts have been amazing,” said Tatiana Cunningham, Community Engagement coordinator for the foundation. “It is always awesome to see new schools joining the fight against childhood cancer, and it is great that multiple [Carrington Academy] locations were able to coordinate their stands and reach this level of success with their first year.”

Cunningham said she thinks it’s vital for children to learn about giving back to others at a young age, because it sets them up to be compassionate people and outstanding members of society for the rest of their lives.

“This is a great way to show kids they can make a difference no matter their age and that something as simple as a lemonade stand can have an amazing impact,” she said.

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation is headquartered in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. For more information or to make a donation, visit alexslemonade.org or call 866-3331213.

Rescuers step aside to let nature take its course

By Denise Ray For The Forsyth Herald Forsyth County Fire Station 7 responded to a nonemergency call for assistance Aug. 19 when residents along Mountain Top Place reported a thunderstorm trapped two kittens in running water.

Five feral kittens hid under a raised storm drain seeking shelter from the late afternoon thunderstorm. The structure was in a wooded area in the backyard of Doug and Michelle Ward.

The couple had noticed a cat weeks ago and found her nursing a litter of five kittens.

“She’d eat the food I’d left her, and recently she came into my garden,” Michelle said.

Eventually the feline grew comfortable enough to rub against Michelle’s legs.

On the day of the storm, the mother cat tried to move her kittens away from danger and into the woods. As she transported them individually, the last two somehow fell in the drain.

Doug went to the street and lifted manhole covers on both sides, following the flow of the water in an effort to grab

the kitten as it travelled through the system.

As he stood watch over the hole, he cautioned a dog-walking neighbor about the openings and explained the situation. The neighbor called the nonemergency line of the Sheriff’s Office.

Moments later, firefighter Zac Coleman and two other firefighters arrived on scene.

After assessing the situation Coleman climbed down into the pipe to capture the missing light tan kitten. Meanwhile, the mother had slipped back to the storm drain, grabbed another kitten and carried it off to the woods.

At that point, two felines were unaccounted for, one tan and the other tigerstriped. Soon after, the Wards rescued the tiger-striped baby, and it was placed in a towel-lined container where its mother could find it when she returned from hiding its siblings.

Coleman climbed down three different drains looking for the tan feline. The plan was to wait for the kitten to reach an opening, and Coleman would catch it with a net.

Almost 20 minutes later, with the kitten not moving toward the opening,

One of two kittens that had fallen into a storm drain in a north Forsyth neighborhood was rescued by residents and placed in a dry towel where its mother could find it.

rescuers determined that the commotion was doing more harm than good.

The firefighters replaced the manhole covers and left the scene.

“I went out about 30 minutes later, and the orange kitten was gone and so was some food,” Michelle shared.

The quiet paid off as Michelle reported she had spied the mother cat with the tan kitten before dark that night.

She also reported that the mother had come out of the woods to visit the next morning.

“I’m hoping she’ll bring her babies around,” Michelle said.

The plan is to capture the mother and have her spayed and released. As for the babies, the hope is to try to domesticate them if they can be captured.

The age of the kittens has not yet been determined but according to Ward, the mother is still nursing. It is not known how many males and females are in the litter.

(The Alpharetta Business Association Expo) is a great place to meet people and develop new relationships.

Andy Jordan, executive vice president and chief credit officer for Providence Bank 10 | Forsyth Herald | August 29, 2019

Alpharetta business expo highlights service, innovation

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Hundreds of visitors wound their way past an array of some 80 exhibitors Aug. 23 for the seventh annual Alpharetta Business Association Expo held at the Atlanta Marriott Alpharetta Hotel.

The show was a lot more engaging this year, with many tables inducing passersby with food, games, free samples and other activities.

Andy Jordan, executive vice president and chief credit officer for Providence Bank, said he used to wander through the exhibits at the expo until the bug hit him.

This is his third year as an exhibitor.

“I was sold on the idea,” he said. “It’s a great place to meet people and develop new relationships.”

Jordan’s booth drew extra attention with a gizmo that featured a metal washer dangling on a string. Visitors swung the washer toward a mounted hook for a chance to win a Bluetooth speaker.

Another highlight at the expo was a LinkedIn workshop presented by “The LinkedIn Guy” Gregg Burkhalter, a recognized expert on personal branding and a former radio personality at stations throughout the Southeast.

Meanwhile, Beth Johnson, partner with Savory Gourmet, was walking the aisles with a tray of delectables from The Savory Gourmet, which just had its grand opening earlier this month on Canton Street in Alpharetta.

Their chef, she said, is from New York, so a lot of the customers who hail from that part of the country love dining on an authentic New York Reuben or pastrami sandwich, she said.

Just down the aisle, another handson item garnered steady interest.

Sebastian Flores’ OctoGifts featured a multi-colored array of small, decorated, upright candy dispensers.

“It’s a combination greeting card-candy dispenser,” said the Alpharetta 13-year-old.

“It’s something you would give to a friend or family member on a special occasion.”

Each dispenser is made of card stock with a window of acetate that displays the level of candy still in the container.

Flores’ mother, Melanie, is a former educator who received her degree in engineering from MIT. She said she left her career as a coach to STEM educators to concentrate on her two sons.

Her eldest son, T.J., is a junior at Denmark High School. Sebastian is a student at DeSana Middle School in Alpharetta.

Melanie said Sebastian has sold about 66 of the devices over the past few months, bringing in about $1,000.

“We are just so proud of him,” Melanie said. “He just has this amazing ability to see things in his head and unzip them to see what they’d look like.”

Sebastian was one of three presenters earlier in the day for the ABA’s Tech Showcase, which features three entrepreneurs pitching their products to a panel of tech start-up experts.

The showcase included TGen Tech, which provides proprietary medical device technology that augments cardiac tissues and grows with the patient.

Espy Data Science, another presenter, combines statistics, math, computer programming and IT to help dealers run their businesses more effectively.

Then, there was Sebastian, inspired

by LEGO and origami, presenting his pitch for his candy dispenser.

“I think we did well,” he said after the presentation. “I wasn’t nervous. It was natural.”

the Alpharetta-Roswell Herald, Johns Creek Herald, Forsyth Herald, Milton Herald and Northside Woman, in 2018 as a staff writer. This May, she was promoted to editor of the Johns Creek Herald and the quarterly Answer Book guides.

Cook will report on Dunwoody City Council and community news, while continuing to cover Johns Creek and Fulton County government for Appen’s other publications.

“I am ready to immerse myself in the Dunwoody community and understand the issues that matter to residents,” Cook said. “I hope to continue what people have loved about the Crier for the past 42 years, while expanding and improving the news coverage people care about.”

Cook previously worked as a community news reporter with the Chattanooga Times Free Press and is a graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Northside, Gwinnett health systems complete merger

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com

ATLANTA — After more than four years of negotiations and clearing regulatory hurdles, Northside Hospital and the Gwinnett Health System have completed arrangements to combine their health care operations. The merger takes effect Aug. 28.

The expanded Northside Hospital system will have 1,636 inpatient beds; more than 250 outpatient locations throughout Georgia; and nearly 21,000 employees and 3,500 physicians on staff.

Debbie Mitcham, longtime chief financial officer and 25-year veteran of Northossword side Hospital, will be the new president and CEO of Northside’s Gwinnett health care campuses. Phil Wolfe, who served as president and CEO of the Gwinnett system for the past 13 years, has announced his retirement effective Aug. 28. Other important leadership changes are expected to Solution be announced soon as

the combined healthcare networks begin service as one entity.

The merger agreement was approved by the Georgia Office of the Attorney General in November 2017, and in February 2019, the Federal Trade Commission completed its review of the combination and gave its approval to move forward.

Northside Hospital is one of Georgia’s leading health care providers with more than 240 locations across the state, including three acute care, state-of-theart hospitals in Sandy Springs, Cherokee County and Forsyth County. It leads the nation in newborn deliveries and is among the state’s top providers of cancer care and surgical services.
