Forsyth officials OK communication tower, other requests

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners approved a string of requests at its Sept.

17 meeting, including a telecommunications tower, a plan for the expansion of a medical complex and two storage yards.

Board members also voted, after a spirited discussion, to suspend the alcohol license of a package store.

TowerCom V-B’s proposal for a 179foot Verizon telecommunications tower, located on the Extra Space Storage property at 6650 Shiloh Road, was approved unanimously.

The tower was originally proposed to be near Halcyon, but TowerCom representative Christopher Light said that plan was abandoned due to costs stemming from topographical issues. The Shiloh Road location was identified to address the same areas of weak signal in nearby buildings and in vehicles.

While the proposal did not spur much conversation from board members, other than District 2 representative Dennis Brown stating the area needs the additional signal coverage, it was a far different case when the request went before the Planning Commission last month.

The Planning Commission voted

County manager selection The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners approved Sept. 28-29 as the dates for a retreat to discuss hiring a new county manager.

Commissioners said that only board members, the county’s legal team and Interim County Manager Doug Derrer will be in attendance.

The retreat falls under Georgia’s Open Meeting Act and is open to the public. A location was not discussed.

4-1 to deny the tower due to its height, which at that time called for a 199-foot structure.

A representative with CityScape, a wireless telecommunications consulting firm, said the tower, even at 179 feet, was too tall for the limited area it would serve. This is due to the structure being located at the bottom of a ridge with high trees to the south, he said.

TowerCom’s representative said it took the company four years to identify two suitable locations, and they could only relocate the tower with the cooperation of a nearby property owner.

The company presented its proposal

for the shorter, 179-foot tower to the Board of Commissioners.

In other matters at the meeting, commissioners approved a sketch plat for Resurgens Orthopaedics at 4150 Deputy Bill Cantrell Road for two medical office buildings totaling 53,000-square feet.

Also approved at the meeting were requests for two storage yards.

Commissioners voted in favor, with several variances, for Builders Surplus of Alpharetta to operate an open storage yard at an established development at 520 and 540 Branch Drive, Alpharetta.

A representative of the company said windows, doors, granite countertops will be stored on the site, and the company has already begun work to screen the storage area.

A request to rezone 1.2 acres from residential to agricultural for an open storage yard at 1565 Dr. Bramblett Road was also approved.

The only contentious issue of the meeting came during an administrative hearing on alcohol ordinance violations

by Georgia Liquor Barn, LLC, located on Atlanta Road.

The business had been issued three administrative alcohol ordinance violations and was recently charged with an employee selling alcohol to a minor.

The store owner, along with a representative from the Forsyth County

Sheriff’s Office, said the employee was terminated, and the company has installed a new ID scanner that will prohibit the point-of-sale system from making a transaction unless the ID-holder is at least 21 years old.

That did not sway District 1 Commissioner Molly Cooper, who represents the area. She said the holder of the alcohol license was before the Board of Commissioners around a year ago charged with administrative violations of the alcohol ordinance. If the company had learned from its prior infractions, the sale to an underage person would not have occurred, she said.

Cooper made a motion to completely revoke the company’s alcohol license, but her motion did not receive a second and no vote was taken.

Commissioners Cindy Jones Mills and Todd Levent, while decrying the sale of alcohol to minors, expressed they did not want to shut down a business.

Levent then made a motion to suspend the company’s alcohol license for 25 days, stating a suspension of 30 days or more gets the state involved and all alcohol must be removed from the business.

That motioned failed to receive a second.

Commissioners finally landed on a 29-day suspension. Cooper cast the lone dissenting vote stating the punishment was essentially a slap on the wrist.

County approves major synagogue expansion Congregation Beth Israel plans new sanctuary, school

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County’s first synagogue is set for a significant expansion with approval by the County Commission Sept. 17 for the congregation’s plan for a new sanctuary.

The Chabad Center for Jewish Life will include 50,000-total square feet of buildings that will house a new 29,000-square foot sanctuary, parochial school and social hall. The plan also calls for a playground and plaza on the 10-acre site at 795 Brannon Road south of Cumming.

The proposal was approved with the conditions that the development align with the current sight plan, parking areas be outlined on the site plan and no exterior lighting fixtures may be installed within 25 feet of the eastern boundary.

The center will serve as the headquarters for Congregation Beth Israel and Chabad of Forsyth. The current

sanctuary was the first synagogue to open in Forsyth County in 2017.

The project is expected to cost $4.7 million, with $2.5 million sourced through a fundraising campaign.

Rabbi Levi Mentz called the board’s approval a “historic moment,” and their decision on the last day of a dark biblical year will spread light on the community and county.

When the plan was originally introduced before the congregation in January, Mentz said the center will be a “beacon of light” for north Georgia.

“It was a Biblical commandment, a mitzvah, to build for ourselves sanctuaries, synagogues, temples that wherever we live, wherever we find ourselves, that we can come together to enrich families, enrich our communities, enrich our faith, enrich the values, the ethics, the principles and the traditions of our forefathers that have held up for so long,” he said.

Mentz said a groundbreaking for the center will take place during Hanukkah this year.

SPECIAL

The Chabad Center for Jewish Life will include 50,000-total square feet of buildings that will house a new 29,000-square foot sanctuary, parochial school and social hall.

County staff recommended denial of the site because it does not conform with the comprehensive plan, because of the intensity of the use in a residential area, and because it resides within two “character areas” meant for residential and small-scale commercial use.

No nearby residents spoke against the project, and some voiced their favor for the plan when it was presented to the Planning Commission in August.

At that meeting, a member of the

congregation said it is important the Chabad Center be located in a residential area for those who practice shomer Shabbat, Saturday Sabbath, and need to walk to the house of worship.

The Planning Commission voted unanimously in favor of the expansion.

Congregation Beth Israel’s website says there are also plans to develop a Jewish community center with sports fields, an aquatic center, day camp facility and Mikvah once the new synagogue is complete.

Forsyth County leads survey of best work-from-home sites

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The coronavirus pandemic has more people working from home than ever, and a study by the National Association of Realtors says Forsyth County is the best place in the nation to do it.

The study, released this month, considered nine factors to create a points-based system. Forsyth topped the national list for counties with at least 5,000 households. The rankings included more than 3,100 counties and studied data from 2018-19 and the percentage of urban areas in counties based on the 2010 Census.

The criteria included access to computers and broadband internet, the number of workers in industries that typically operate in offices, housing affordability and population growth. The number of workers already working from home was also considered and contributed double to a county’s overall score because of the “current state of affairs” of the pandemic.

The survey found that 99 percent of Forsyth County residents had access to

at least three broadband internet service providers, and 93 percent had broadband internet in 2018.

Another factor considered was the percentage of workers in jobs that typically include offices. The survey found about 37 percent of Forsyth County workers are included in “office-intensive” industries. Such businesses include information services, finance, insurance, real estate, rental, leasing and professional, scientific, management, administrative and waste services.

In 2018, over 11 percent of residents were working from home, a figure that has surely increased over the last six months.

Overall scores were negatively impacted by the number of residents who spend 30 percent or more of their income on housing and the median home price to median income ratio. Forsyth earned high marks in both areas against national averages.

Forsyth was among several counties in Metro Atlanta to place high on the list of the best areas to work from home.

Fulton, Cherokee, Cobb, Fayette, Paulding and Henry counties were also in the top-50 nationally.

Forsyth School Board approves pilot programs for testing COVID concerns disrupt PSAT and ACT offerings

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY—The Forsyth County Board of Education approved two pilot programs to expand academic testing options to give some students an opportunity that COVID-19 took away last spring.

On Tuesday, Oct. 6, seniors at Forsyth Central High School can take the ACT, a standardized test used for college admission, in the district’s first “inschool” offering. The day will be a virtual learning day for all other students at the school.

Since March, most offerings of the ACT have either been canceled, postponed or severely limited in availability due to concerns over the pandemic.

“We feel strongly that we need to consider how we support our students in their efforts to take and have access to these tests during the pandemic,” said Dawn Phipps, director of high school education for Forsyth Schools.

The goal is to “retroactively” offer the ACT next month to seniors at Central High School who were unable to take the test last spring because of the pandemic.

If successful, the pilot program may expand to other schools, with the goal of having an SAT offering for all students in the spring.

Phipps noted many colleges and universities are waiving the requirements for ACT/SAT scores this year. While she agrees with that decision, standardized test scores still play a key role.

“SAT and ACT scores are more than just college admission tests,” Phipps said. “[They] are also indicators for many local and national scholarships, including Georgia’s Zell Miller award.”

Absent test scores, students can potentially lose thousands of dollars in scholarships and aid, she noted.

The decision to pilot the program at Central was based on the district’s principals, officials noted, citing the need for a dry run before a countywide expansion.

Schools Superintendent Jeff Bearden said it was important the district “get it right” before rolling it out to all schools.

“This is a pretty big challenge,” Bearden said. “And the mindset is start slow, do it right and build on that success.”

If the pilot goes well, he said the district will likely come back in the spring with school-based offerings of the SAT. “This is too important to open up full steam and have hiccups,” Bearden said.

“Better to do it small and do it right.”

Central High School Assistant Principal Precilla Saint-Jean said the Oct. 6 pilot provides an opportunity for problem-solving and learning for students and staff.

“An added benefit is [this pilot] can act as a test run in virtual learning for both students and teachers in the event we need to move to [remote] learning again in the future,” SaintJean said.

The Forsyth School Board also approved a Virtual Learning Day for Oct. 14 to allow 10th grade students to take

the Practice SAT (PSAT) in person. Traditionally, the test is given each fall on a normal school day, but social distancing mandates make that difficult this year.

“We want to provide the best testing environment with [students] spread out as much as possible,” said Principal Brandi Cannizzaro of the Alliance Academy for Innovation. “That will require a lot of [classrooms], proctors, hall monitors and [essentially] the entire administration team this year.”

She noted most students not taking the PSAT will be learning from home, although areas in the schools, such as libraries, will be open to allow them to study on campus. Transportation and meal service will continue.

The PSAT is not mandatory for students, but it does provide valuable practice for the high-stakes SAT and is used to determine qualifications for the National Merit Scholarship program.

For years, the Georgia Department of Education has paid the test fees for 10th grade students. Forsyth County Schools will offer the PSAT to 9th and 11th graders this year, however they will be responsible for the test fees.

In addition to the practice and scholarship opportunities, the PSAT results are also used by schools to determine Advanced Placement potential for students.

Georgia strives for higher counts as census deadline looms

By KATIE ANDERSON newsroom@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA, Ga. — With a Sept. 30 deadline approaching, Georgia cities are pushing to increase the final count for the 2020 U.S. Census.

Georgia has one of the lowest response rates in the U.S. and its territories. As of Sept. 17, Georgia had a 61.4% percent self-response rate, well below

Georgia’s #1 Indoor Gun Range 770-500-F-I-R-E (3473) SharpShootersUSA.com 11261 Alpharetta Highway • Roswell, GA 30076

Source: https://public.tableau.com/profile/ us.census.bureau#! vizhome/2020CensusSelfResponseRankings/RankingsDashboard

the national rate of 65.7 percent.

Typically, census workers would go door to door or set up at local events and spaces to promote participation. However, due to concerns about COVID-19, cities have had to primarily use other methods.

“COVID obviously put a stop to a lot of things back in March,” Forsyth County Communications Director Karen Shields said. “We normally would have had a census day event and worked with the libraries to encourage people to fill out the census, and that just got put on hold.”

Social media has been the new outlet

for cities to encourage citizens to participate in the 2020 census. Through methods like social media posts, billboards, flyers and even water bill inserts, the cities are pushing for as many people to complete the census as possible.

“We have an ongoing social media campaign as well as outreach for those who have yet to complete the census,” Jonathan Cospey, Roswell communications specialist said. “Through brochures, flyers, posters at local business and apartments, we are trying to reach as many people as we can while being responsible in these COVID times.”

While COVID-19 has been a big hurdle to overcome, it is not the only one.

“Another small challenge has been the language hurdles due to the widely diverse backgrounds of our residents,”Johns Creek Special Projects Coordinator Grant Hickey said. ”This has been addressed by working with the census workers who help with forms and information in a number of different languages.”

Karen Shields of Forsyth County said that there are many different language options for filling out the census and that their county is doing outreach with

non-profit organizations to help those with a language barrier complete their 2020 Census.

The decennial count affects how much federal funding a state gets. It has been estimated that for the 2020 Census $2,300 per person will be returned to Georgia on an annual basis. According to the Urban Institute, lower counts could result in a loss of $407 million annually until 2030.

“The more people we have, the more money we get,” Steven Wardrup, GIS manager for Alpharetta explained. “More money for public safety, schools, hospitals, and even more funds for disaster relief.”

In addition to funds, census data is also used to determine Georgia’s representation in the United States House of Representatives and state and local redistricting.

The 2020 U.S. Census must be completed by Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2020. The process takes less than 10 minutes and can be completed online at my2020census.gov or by calling toll-free 1-844-330-2020 (English) or 1-844-4682020 (Spanish).

The vibrant city of Alpharetta is filled with some of the best restaurants in the state.

JANET RODGERS, president and CEO of the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau 8 | Forsyth Herald | September 24, 2020

Alpharetta groups partner to benefit businesses, charities Restaurant Month designed to give all a chance to help

By ADAM DARBY adam@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau to announce Alpharetta Restaurant Month for the month of October.

The joint effort was launched as a way to support local businesses and contribute to local charities.

The event offers 20 percent discounts to more than 40 popular restaurants throughout the city with the purchase of a $30 Alpharetta Restaurant Month (ARM) dining card. Participating restaurants include BurgerFi, 2B Whole Gluten-Free Bakery, Butcher & Brew, South Main Kitchen, Grouchy’s New York Deli, and more.

“The vibrant city of Alpharetta is filled with some of the best restaurants in the state,” said Janet Rodgers, president and CEO of the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau. “This ARM program brings awareness to our restaurants and how vital they are to the fabric of our community. It also provides a way for patrons to support these businesses and their teams that are working hard to bring us our favorite dishes every day.”

With the dining card, residents can enjoy the discount for any of their food bills at participating locations for the rest of the month. The flat discount on food allows the restaurants to offer more delicious options without having to create a specialized menu for customers.

ADAM DARBY/HERALD

The event offers discounts to more than 40 popular restaurants throughout the city, including 2B Whole Gluten-Free Bakery, above.

The event also enables them to receive a higher volume of marketing and promotional attention.

Alpharetta Chamber President and CEO Deborah Lanham said the program will provide a boost for some of the businesses hit hardest.

“COVID has been incredibly challenging to all business on a variety of levels, and restaurants have really been hit hard for obvious reasons; lack of opportunity for people to gather, share food, sip their favorite drinks at the bar,” she said. “That is why we extended to

a month-long program and encourage people to revisit those experiences in a safe environment.”

One of the biggest incentives for participants is the contributions each purchase makes for some of Alpharetta’s renowned charities. For each ARM dining card sold, a portion of the proceeds benefits the North Fulton Community Charities Food Pantry and the Meals on Wheels Program of Senior Services North Fulton.

“I’ve been out speaking to these restaurants and I’m here to tell you that these owners and managers have the safety of the public and their employees as their highest priority,” said Melody Cookson, Member Services coordinator for the chamber. “I’m also aware of the extraordinary efforts these businesses have gone through in the last six months to pivot with conditions or fight to return to business. This is a beneficial program for both the establishments and the patrons, and we hope it will be a show of support both ways.”

The pandemic has done local business few favors. Many have used this time to change the way they operate in order to keep afloat. The city recognizes these efforts and strives to continue finding new ways like these to best serve their businesses and residents.

“At a time our community has faced so many challenges, Restaurant Month offers folks terrific money-saving discounts, helps reinvigorate restaurants’ business, and is an invitation to enjoy the broad range of restaurant hospitality our community has been blessed with,” BurgerFi Owner Ron Altman said.

Dining cards can be mailed or picked up at the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce office at 5755 North Point Parkway, Suite 4. For more information, visit www.AlpharettaChamber.com.

What happens when I need care: 10 questions to ask Brought to you by — Village Park Milton

• Do I have to hire my own caregiver?

• Does your community hire caregivers in-house or is care provided by a third-party agency?

In the past, many people waited until they needed care and services to choose their senior living community; however, planning ahead and asking the right questions provides peace of mind, added control, and a smoother transition. Exploring communities before you need assisted living gives you time to identify what you are seeking in a senior living residence and thoroughly evaluate your options. Our team of senior living consultants recommends asking these questions while searching for your next home.

Understand the Care Programs and Finances You’ve planned well for everything else. Now is the time to plan for care. Many communities separate independent living from assisted living, skilled nursing, and/or memory care. However, Village Park Senior Living offers an adaptive care model that discreetly adds assisted living care services without requiring you to move from your independent home. Additionally, our Memory Enrichment Program enables residents with early stages of memory loss to continue to live in their existing residence before transitioning to our memory care neighborhood. Every senior living community is

Award-winning care for your loved one with peace of mind for you.

555 Wills Road, Alpharetta, GA 30009 470.509.4557 | villageparkmilton.com

Consider the Lifestyle You Want It is important to identify what your necessities are and if they are accessible at every level of care. Square footage is not as important as the lifestyle and services that enhance your overall quality of life. Understanding what you want or need is key to a happy retirement. Consider the following: • What optimizes my quality of life?

• What amenities are available to me when my care level changes?

• How does assisted living change my lifestyle?

• What does the dining program include?

different, so it is important to ask the following when exploring your options: • Do I have to move when my level of care changes?

• If I need to move units, does my initial deposit count toward my new residence?

• What happens if my spouse needs care but I don’t?

• Are there add-ons?

Choosing the perfect senior living community for your lifestyle and needs can take time. If you have additional questions relating to this article or If you’d like to learn more about memory care, assisted living, independent living, or any of the many programs, amenities, and activities we offer, please contact Village Park Senior Living at any of our locations for more information. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook for updates and to check back often for new blogs.

I have acne – do I really need a dermatologist?

By DR. BRENT TAYLOR Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta From every brick and mortar mall to mobile marketplaces to magazines in the grocery aisle, advice and solutions for better skin DR. TAYLOR health abound. But for brighter, clearer skin, there is still no substitute for a dermatologist.

What the online retailers and magazine articles have in common is a relatively limited supply of ingredients to help your skin. As much as we might wish that an over-the-counter makeup, toner, concealer, or wash could be a skin cure-all, acne is a condition that often extends below the surface where only prescription medications can reach.

There has been progress in our ability to treat acne with over the counter ingredients. In 2016, adapalene became the first medication since the 1980s to be approved for over the counter use in fighting acne. Adapalene is a retinoid, which as a class is the mainstay of most acne therapy. The fact that a formerly prescription-only retinoid is on the market has increased the ability of patients with very mild, shallow acne to self-treat effectively and avoid a trip to the doctor.

Along with benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid and sulfur, retinoids can remove superficial oil, decrease oil production and inflammation and often lead to unclogged pores and a reduction in shallow acne. Most of these ingredients can lead to problems with dry, peeling skin when overused, so either online research or a visit with a dermatologist is still usually necessary to use these products effectively.

For deeper and more severe acne, over the counter topicals are rarely sufficient. As a dermatologist, I get frustrated when commercials show photos of people with severe acne obtaining clear skin with the use of over the counter products. A disclaimer often reads that the results “may not be typical.”

What the disclaimer does not mention is that wasting time on these products can cost patients precious months or years when they could have been on appropriate therapy. Patients whose severe acne goes undertreated and uncontrolled often develop scars that are either life-long or cost thousands of dollars to microneedle and laser away.

Severe acne may not be a “skin emer-

gency” but it is an issue that needs to be quickly addressed because prescription medication is available that can beautifully clear acne and prevent scarring. An important principle is that it is much easier to prevent scarring in the first place than it is to address scarring after it has taken place.

How do you know if your acne is severe? Because scarring is the complication we are most commonly trying to prevent, the important question is: are you developing any scars from your acne? If the answer is yes, then your acne should be promptly addressed by a professional. If your acne does not seem to be causing any scars or permanent blemishes, then you are probably safe to continue trying over the counter remedies, with the caveat that some inflamed acne lesions can lead to delayed scarring that is not visible in the first months after they resolve.

Your dermatologist has an amazing array of tools and strategies not available by magazine. For females, medication that blocks certain androgens can help with hormonal and jawline acne. Topical dapsone can treat inflammatory acne.

Many clogged pores and excessively oily complexions need prescription-strength retinoids, stronger than the adapalene currently approved for over the counter use. Topical and oral antibiotics help control bacteria. And the list of therapies goes on. For stubborn, resistant, severe or chronic acne, isotretinoin (known commonly as Accutane®) really is a wonder drug. It gets a bad rap because it is powerful, has side-effects and has been the subject of lawsuits, but properly used it is the most effective medicine available and can actually completely cure acne. With other medications, the strategy is to clear one’s acne until the patient grows out of the acne on his or her own. With isotretinoin, five to seven months of therapy often leads to a complete cure.

If you or a loved one struggles with acne or any dermatologic complaint, consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Dr. Brent Taylor and Kathryn Filipek, PA-C are delighted to help you achieve your skin care and skin health goals. Dr. Taylor is a Harvardgraduate, a board certified dermatologist and vein care expert, and fellowshiptrained Mohs surgeon. Kathryn Filipek has greater than 15 years of dermatology experience with expertise in medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology including fillers, Botox®, sclerotherapy and, of course, designing customized acne treatment plans.

OPINION

Hearing it from all sides, and still listening Two weeks ago, we published a letter to the editor from a reader in response to Ray Appen’s column “Should we save local journalism? Do we care?” In it, Ray, our company’s founder and longtime publishHANS APPEN er, muses about what Publisher role local news plays in hans@appenmediagroup.com our lives and wonders where anger for the press is coming from.

A reader in Johns Creek responded to Ray’s question and the two of them engaged in a friendly back and forth over email and ultimately the reader agreed to submit a letter to the editor, which we then published.

In it, he talks about how the news of his youth is missing in today’s media world.

That it is not representative of his concerns and void of information important to him.

In summary, he believed that it is not that a newspaper’s readers don’t care about its newspaper, but that its newspaper does not care about, or recognize,

Lions and tigers and Sally, oh my “I built my house to withstand a category 5 hurricane. So, I wanted to see if it could.”

So my friend Brad explained when someone asked what he was thinking when he decided to stay on Dog Island on RAY APPEN Oct. 18, 2018 knowPublisher Emeritus ing that Hurricane ray@appenmediagroup.com Michael — category 5 — with sustained winds of 161 miles per hour was barreling through the Gulf headed right at the island. Brad didn’t know the specific wind speed, but he did know it was going to be a big one.

I remember that I had this image of what it must have looked like that night as 6-foot 8 Brad perched way up in the crow’s nest at the top of his island home to get the best view possible through the four sides of the windows. The ancient mariner came to mind, hands glued to the wheel of the ship as sheets of rain pierced his skin like bullets.

Michael passed a mere 35 miles west of the island in route to destroying Mexico Beach like it had been hit by a nuclear bomb. Brad watched it all night long I imagine — fascinated.

all of its readers’ perspectives.

Not too long after we published his letter, I got two phone calls, back to back.

Both calls began the exact same way.

“I never do this, but…”

The first caller just had to call me and commend the author of the letter that appeared in our newspaper that week.

The caller said the author had nailed it by calling Ray out for his high handedness and clear biases, that the media is generally self-riotous and disconnected from the plights of everyday people, and the sooner it gets off its high horse, the sooner it can save its dying industry.

I thought that he was going to ask for the author’s phone number to thank him, but he didn’t, and we ended the conversation with a commitment from me to take the letter seriously and listen more, talk less.

Not 30 minutes later, I received another call. “I never do this, but…”

This time the caller just had to tell me that he’d just read the letter that we published and thought the author was a kook, that he is sick and tired of the media bashing and that if the reader would stop for a second to think about the source

— his hometown community newspaper featuring news about local high schools, city council meetings, boy scout troops and the like — he might think twice about the absurdity of his assertion.

He commended me for publishing the letter, despite the fact that the simple willingness to do so pokes a few holes in the claims the author made in the first place.

In summary, he told me to keep my head down and keep doing what we’re

doing. That its appreciated and of value to the community. I appreciated both calls.

We take very seriously our responsibility to cover news that is important to our readers. I also believe that sometimes we cover news that is important to our readers before they know it is important to them.

Don’t ever hesitate to call me and tell me we need to do a better job. I might not always be able to give you the answer you want, but I’m always listening.

Brad is one of the most talented artists I know. Somewhere down in the mix must be the seeds of inspiration — or desperation — for what it takes to produce great art or why anyone would choose to experience almost certain water-born death in the form of a category 5 storm. Both are enigmas to me.

So that was the context as Christina and I nervously waited in our island home about 30 yards from the ocean, as what would later become Hurricane Sally slowly crept up through the Gulf of Mexico. It wasn’t a hurricane yet, and the winds were no more than 50 miles per hour. But I remembered how slow, lazy storms can quickly turn into crazed powerful major storms in the warm waters of the Gulf. No one can predict the path of any hurricane for sure.

Friends called. Can you move our vehicles to higher ground for the storm surge? “Sure, but no one is expecting any storm surge of any size” I replied, “and last night was supposed to be the surge night.” So, I moved their golf cart anyway. Their truck wouldn’t start — dead battery.

We gathered that night with friends for dinner, then afterward for a game of Rummikub which seemed to last for hours. Outside, the rain poured. Curtains of water interspersed with strong gusts of warm sea air that, from time to time, howled and made power lines hum. We talked about kids, about water systems, about how long the storm would last, and about who had plans for what doctors in Tallahassee or back in Oviedo.

We were supposed to go home the next morning, but when we woke up, the wind was gusting to 45 miles per hour and the ocean seemed to grow blacker and more powerful. We had crossed the bay a couple days earlier and the return trip to the island had been hard — really nerve-bending, deeply threatening hard and I knew without a doubt that the bay would have been much worse now. We stayed, but I still assured friends that there would be no surge; it was past.

This storm had no gas in its tank.

Late in the afternoon, we went down to the harbor to check the boat. The docks were underwater by then and we stared in shock. What was going on? The storm by now had passed. It still wasn’t a hurricane, and it has missed us by at least 200 miles.

Sustained winds were only in the 40s.

The grass air strip was now just a giant pool of water. There was no decking in sight; it was under almost 2 feet of water now. The moored boats seemed to be staying in place by magic. I knew they were still there, just under several feet of saltwater at this point. What was going on?

That night we ate again with our island friends — this time at Glenda’s house — and became lost in that conversation that occurs when old friends spend time with each other. We all feel the moment and each other’s place.

Time has crept up upon us all, especially our children whom we all know and watch over in our own ways.

Later I check on the docks and am shocked by their condition. I am especially unhappy with my completely wrong

assumption about the tidal surge. This storm is barely a storm though. This surge even though it has surprised us is still no more than a few feet. What would it be like if this storm were the real thing — with those 150-mile-an-hour winds and an 8 to 10-foot tidal surge? I think of Brad and his crow’s nest and shudder.

I feel like we’ll be able to make it across the bay tomorrow. The winds will probably be at least 25 miles an hour.

That is no fun at all and I know it. But how could this crazy guy stand in that crow’s nest and calmly experience near 200-mile-per-hour wind and know that the very ground under him is in play and just experience the moment, calmly and with anticipation? I don’t know.

Maybe I’ll ask him the next time I see him. Maybe it has something to do with expectations. I just don’t know.

Letters to the editor If you would like to pen a letter to the editor, either in response to this column or anything else you read in the paper, go to northfulton.com, click submit in the navigation bar and then select “Letters.” You can also submit a letter on a current event that is on your mind, but know that we have guidelines we try to stick to: • Letters should be no more than 325 words.

• Keep it courteous. If you are angry

about an issue, we want to hear about it, but it needs to be respectful of all audiences.

• We typically do not publish letters in response to other letters.

• We try to avoid publishing letters about national politics. We are a local newspaper and we think our readers appreciate that.

• We do not publish anonymous letters.

• We prefer to run letters from readers within our coverage area. While anyone can submit a letter, we give preference to local readers.

“Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship” “Change” is the mark of our times now. Each of us has expected a threehour trip and encountered instead, an endless stormy sea that threatens us with no end in sight. I want to say, “Think of Brad and that crow’s nest and be calm.” I’m not sure what else we can do. He would probably tell us to do that.

And then go off and paint great art. But, don’t we all paint great art, in our own way, when we embrace our own moments — and each other’s lives?
