New hospital tower to expand services, stimulate economy

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Northside Hospital Forsyth marked the start of a major expansion April 16 with the groundbreaking of a six-story patient tower and emergency department improvement.

The project is part of an effort to meet the growing healthcare demands in Forsyth County and surrounding communities, Northside Hospital said.

The expansion follows significant regional growth. In 2025, the hospital recorded more than 851,000 patient encounters, including more than 67,000 emergency department visits.

The project includes a six-story tower with 96 patient rooms, more than 260,000 square feet of new construction and 57,000 square feet of renovated space. Plans also call for expanded clinical and support services, a larger emergency department, a new lab and pharmacy and a parking deck with about 500 spaces.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2028.

Hospital CEO Lynn Jackson said the project will provide additional jobs and better healthcare.

“This investment reflects a belief that our community deserves healthcare that is not only advanced, but compassionate; not only responsive, but visionary; not only prepared for today, but ready for tomorrow,” Jackson said.

County expo helps residents prepare for aging

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Tara Stiffler’s mom was always there for her.

When she was a kid, Stiffler’s mother always had breakfast ready before school. She made a point of being at home to keep her daughter out of day care. And when Stiffler received a cancer diagnosis at age 43, her mom was by her side.

“There's nobody I'd rather be with

when I'm sick than my mom,” said Stiffler, now 57.

That’s why the Cumming woman decided to accompany her 79-yearold mother, Gail Murphy, to the 22nd annual Aging Well Expo at the Forsyth Conference Center April 23.

The mother and daughter joined other residents in learning about services, senior care products and health advice.

Forsyth County institutes immediate ban on burning

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Fire Department announced April 27 it was immediately implementing its countywide seasonal burn ban due to extremely dry weather conditions and an extended time without meaningful rainfall. The burn ban usually begins May 1.

Outdoor burning will not be allowed

Gainesville man arrested for firing rifle near homes

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A 26-yearold Gainesville man was arrested April 18 after he allegedly admitted to drinking and firing a semiautomatic rifle near a Lake Lanier neighborhood.

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were dispatched to Crystal Cove Trail and Haw Creek PIace about 2:45 a.m. after gunshots were reported.

Deputies allegedly found the man slumped in the driver’s seat of a truck. The door was open, and the vehicle was running, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies found an “AR-15-style rifle” and an open beer can inside the vehicle, the Sheriff’s Office said. They also allegedly found bullet casings on the ground near the vehicle.

The man told deputies he had consumed five beers and fired the rifle from a nearby residence, the Sheriff’s Office said.

He was arrested on misdemeanor charges of reckless conduct and firing a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.

Pills, marijuana seized following traffic stop

ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell police confiscated a variety of illicit drugs after initiating a traffic stop the evening of April 12 at Riverside Road and Indian Springs Drive.

An officer pulled over the black Chevrolet for driving more than 30 mph over the speed limit. Upon approaching the vehicle, the officer reported smelling marijuana and saw remnants of smoking materials on the center console.

After an additional patrol unit arrived, police conducted a probable cause search of the driver and the vehicle.

Fire Department said in a statement.

“While technically legal during a burn ban, Forsyth County Fire Department officials are asking residents refrain from any and all recreational fires until weather conditions improve and our area has experienced significant and prolonged rainfall.”

In the search, police reportedly found approximately 11 grams of marijuana, two green circular pills that were identified as Oxycodone, and two capsules of Gabapentin.

The driver was arrested on multiple counts of possession, reckless driving and having a suspended registration.

Police detain suspect in burglary, hit-and-run

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Officers investigated an alleged hit-and-run crash and burglary March 23.

Alpharetta police said officers stopped a 19-year-old Cumming man who was walking from a vehicle on Thompson Street. The vehicle allegedly matched the description of one identified in a hit-and-run crash in Forsyth County.

The man, who had scratches on his face and cuts on his shirt, declined to comment to officers about his potential involvement in a crash, police said.

While waiting to transfer the man to Forsyth County custody, officers learned of a reported vehicle break in on Chiswick Circle. Gift cards were reported stolen.

A search of the man allegedly found numerous gift cards in his possession.

Area dignitaries mark start of Ga. 400 widening work

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Local, state and federal officials gathered atop a parking garage overlooking Ga. 400 to herald the start of an ambitious project to expand the highway.

The officials and a crowd of about 200 gathered atop of the Avalon parking deck in Alpharetta to mark the groundbreaking for the multibillion-dollar Georgia State Route 400 Express Lanes project April 22.

The project will add express lanes in both directions along a 16-mile stretch of Ga. 400 from the North Springs MARTA Station in Fulton County north to just past McFarland Parkway in Forsyth County. The lanes, which will use variable-priced tolls and Peach Pass transponders, are expected to be open in 2031.

The project is the result of a privatepublic partnership with private partner SR 400 Peach Partners, which will design, build, finance, operate and maintain the express lanes for 50 years under state oversight.

Funding is provided by a $3.9 billion U.S. Department of Transportation loan, $3.4 billion in private activity bonds,

$3.4 billion of developer equity and $120 million in state money.

The project’s scale makes it one of the most ambitious in the nation and the largest infrastructure project in Georgia history.

Lambert girls lacrosse ends regular season at 15-2

ROSWELL, Ga. — Lambert girls lacrosse closed out the winningest regular season in program history by defeating Blessed Trinity 15-11 April 21, boosting their record to 15-2 this year.

It was a top-10 matchup. Depending on the outlet, the rankings fluctuate but Lambert is the consensus No. 4 team in the state. BT is No. 10 on Lax Numbers and Georgia Lacrosse Insider, No. 7 according to MaxPreps.

After Blessed Trinity tied the score at one goal apiece, the Longhorns stormed ahead to close the first quarter 6-1. Lambert continued their seven-goal streak into the second quarter.

From there, the Daley sisters took over to put the Titans on a 6-1 swing. One of the six goals came on a spin move by senior Maggie Sullivan.

The Titans are led by senior midfielder Hannah Daley, who posted six goals and seven draw controls to lead the team. Two or three Longhorn defenders weren’t enough to stop Daley from bulldozing her way to the back of the net.

Hannah’s younger sister Morgan was the Titans’ second leading scorer with

and

two goals.

The Longhorns were in need of a serious push, and they found it from senior Hailey McDonald.

The attacker changed the narrative with four straight goals in the third quarter to extend the Longhorns’ lead from two to six. The last two came in the final 35 seconds of the period.

Close range, free position shot or low bouncer, McDonald was good from anywhere.

McDonald also contributed one assist. The Longhorns assisted on half their goals, and McDonald highlighted their capacity to share the ball and set up each other.

“We are a very assist-heavy team,” she said. “Everyone’s always looking up, working with each other, and they just emphasize how well we work all together when we’re not trying to focus on ourselves, and that’s very helpful when it comes to games like this when the competition is a very strong team.”

McDonald said the senior class of 15 players is prepared to give their all in their last postseason, and that they are focused on what kind of legacy they can leave.

Lambert head coach Travis Church is looking forward to improving their record once the playoffs begin. He said playing against a storied program like BT has strengthened his team looking toward the Division 3 bracket.

“Our girls showed a lot of fight to take a punch and then throw one back,” he said. “When we scheduled this game, that was kind of the game we were hoping for, a nice tune-up for the playoffs.”

Childhood learning center to open location in Roswell

ROSWELL, Ga. — Ivy Kids Early Learning Center has announced plans to open a new location in Roswell this summer.

The Roswell West location will mark the second Metro Atlanta early learning center for owners Karim Badani and his wife, Shraddha Naik, joining the Johns Creek location. The couple plans to continue expanding their footprint across North Fulton, with a location slated to open in Alpharetta in the fall.

“Opening our second location in Metro Atlanta is incredibly meaningful for our family,” Badani said. “Education has always been a driving force in my life, and we’re passionate about creating an environment where every child is supported, challenged and inspired.”

Located at 10650 Houze Road, Ivy Kids Roswell West will offer educational programs for children ages 6 weeks through pre-K, as well as afterschool care for children ages 5–12. The 11,940-square-foot facility will feature 10 classrooms and maintain a low teacher-to-student ratio that exceeds state requirements.

The school offers an exclusive, research-based MultiPrep Curriculum, which promotes academic excellence through

active, individualized learning.

In addition, Ivy Kids Learning Center’s World Changers Character Development Program helps instill strong character values through storytelling, play and guided classroom discussions. Students also participate in the BrainBites Nutrition Program, which emphasizes healthy foods.

After immigrating to the United States at age 12 in pursuit of greater educational opportunities, Badani developed a passion for supporting student growth, regularly volunteering in schools and learning centers before transitioning from a career in banking. Naik, a healthcare professional at a local hospital, shares that passion and plays an active role in operations management.

“At Ivy Kids, we’re not just providing care, we’re building a strong educational foundation that helps children grow in confidence, curiosity and character from an early age,” Badani said.

Families interested in learning more about Ivy Kids Roswell West or pre-registration can call (678) 929-5993 or visit IvyKidsRoswellWest.com. For additional information about Ivy Kids Learning Center, visit www.ivykids.com.

Fences reflect story of America’s growth

One might think that the history of fences would be a dry, dull topic. That is not the case. Fences have played important roles in the history of Georgia and elsewhere. The enthusiasm for the subject on the part of retired Milton attorney and historian Jim Farris, encouraged me to write this column.

The idea of fencing property goes back to prehistoric peoples who used stones and vegetation to delineate boundaries. Primitive gates were installed to protect food, dwellings and as protection against wild animals. Ancient Egyptians erected tall mud brick walls around towns and temples. Even their stone pyramids protected royal tombs and can be considered precursors of some modern fences. The Greeks and Romans used fences as boundaries and to control livestock.

The Middle Ages, 500 to 1500 AD, was a time of many wars in Europe. Wealthy landowners installed stone enclosures with towers and battlements around their castles. Stone walls protected villages from marauders. The aristocracy installed elaborate iron fences across the front of their estates. Wooden fences became a primary fencing material.

Early settlers in Georgia sometimes built split-rail or worm fences which did not require nails or fenceposts. They were well suited to Georgia’s early wooded and root-dense soils. In the 1800s, barbed wire revolutionized the fencing industry. Out West, it facilitated the growth of ranching.

The picket fence, popular in the United States since the 1800s, is often thought as originating in the U.S. because the white picket fence symbolizes ideal middle class America. In fact, it was used in the Middle Ages as evidenced by a painting by Sandro Botticelli which features a picket fence. His painting “Agony in the Garden,” painted circa 1500, shows Jesus praying on the Mount of Olives in the eve of his crucifixion.

Jim Ferris believes that “in proportion to its size, Milton likely has far more linear feet of fencing than any other city in Georgia.”

That makes sense, even though there is no specific data that directly measures that. Milton stands out because of its large rural properties, its many equestrian operations and large affluent homes with long driveways. One estimate says

that a typical Milton 1.5-to-3-acre lot has 500 to 1,200 linear feet of perimeter which is three to six times larger than the average Georgia parcel.

Fencing has come a long way in recent times. The 20th century encouraged further innovation with the introduction of new styles and materials such as vinyl and composite materials. Today’s fences can provide safe spaces, privacy, noise reduction, protection for children and pets and personalization on the part of owners.

The fence business is huge in Georgia. Estimates of the number of fence installation firms vary widely, but 500 or more companies is a good estimate. The highest concentration is in the Atlanta metro area. They range from large companies with many employees to small family-owned operations with just a handful of permanent employees. Such firms engage temporary workers depending on the job.

In North Fulton and Forsyth County, you can find fences made of wood, metal, vinyl, chain-link and composite materials. Most popular woods are cedar, redwood, southern pine and

cypress. Modern technology has added new features including electric fences and smart fences equipped with sensors such as video cameras, motion and infrared detectors.

Byron Foster is a typical fence customer. He is a fourth-generation owner of a cattle farm in Milton. The land was first owned by a winner of the 1832 Land Lottery of Cherokee land and has been farmland since. When Byron’s father owned the land in the 1940s, he had sharecroppers living on the land. Today Byron raises Black Angus and Black Baldy cattle (Black Baldy cattle is a cross between Black Angus and Hereford).

Byron and his wife Laura are proud of the 30 acres, most of it enclosed with four-rail wood fencing they had installed by local company Andy Bates Fencing.

“The old fence had a lot of turns and angles,” Byron said. “I said I want the new fence to be smooth with nice, gentle, beautiful curves. I told Andy to think of his new bride when working on it.”

The result is a beautiful fence with no sharp angles.

Andy Bates Fencing is headquartered

in Canton. It is typical of smaller familyowned fence companies. It is owned by Andy and his brother Justin and was founded by their father Lonny in 1987.

“We try to stay small to maintain quality,” Andy said.

The most affordable type of fencing is barbed wire with metal posts, mostly used by cattle farmers. The most popular in this area due to horses is four rails for appearance and safety reasons. Andy says that in the 1940s and 1950s many farmers used black locust trees and split them.

The trees are less common today, perhaps because they are poisonous, but those that were used for fences are still strong and not rotted.

One of Bates Fencing’s proudest projects was a multi-acre four-rail fence on the property in Alpharetta once owned by Atlanta Braves hero Chipper Jones. The fence was built for the original owner by Andy’s father circa 2012.

Tents represent fabric of our life experiences

Okay, language fans. Today’s lesson has to do with metaphors.

What’s a metaphor?” I asked the interweb, and it reminded me that a metaphor is “a figure of speech that directly compares two unrelated things by stating that one is the other, enhancing description without using the words ‘like’ or ‘as.’”

That’s pretty much it.

And so, with that neat little definition in mind, I’m going to go out on a limb and make a pronouncement. I am going to pronounce (maybe even declare) that tents are life.

See? I’ve connected the notions of “tent” and “life” – two very different things – without using a single “like” or even the merest hint of an “as.” Isn’t that a metaphor? Darn tootin’ it is.

Metaphors, especially those involving the out-of-doors, really are a great way to make sense of things. If you’re into fishing, for example, “catch-and-release” can be a metaphor for dealing with loss. If you like hiking, then maybe “using your peripheral vision” becomes a metaphor for finding the way when direct understanding isn’t giving you squat.

There’s no doubt about it. Metaphorical musings, especially those involving some aspect of the out-of-doors, can help you draw connections and connect dots. If you let them, they can highlight the important with delightful, exquisite clarity too.

This may nowhere be truer than in the area of tents.

Yeah…

It’s yesterday, about 5 in the afternoon, and we have just arrived at our campsite. When we are camping, her job is to fix up the campsite. She says she is a nest builder, and what is an empty campsite but a nestbuilding blank canvas like none other?

But first, of course, the tent must go up.

That is my job.

In the old days, tents were made of military-grade canvas and stout wooden poles and weighed roughly the same as my buddy’s extended-cab pick-up truck. But the modern tent is a marvel of textile engineering, light in weight and (sometimes) easy to put up too.

Our tent, a gift which she gave

to me, is of the “instant” variety. That means that (at least according to YouTube) it can go from folded to functional in just a matter of minutes. This is accomplished through a combination of insightful mechanical design (which an engineer friend once described as “tension-based fabric structurization,” whatever that is) and magic. Sacrificing of chickens may be involved. Maybe that’s why I often stop by KFC on the way to the campsite to savor a couple of original-recipe thighs. If you ask, I’ll tell you it’s just lunch. But deep down I know better. Ritual must be followed, you know.

And so, we unload the car. We carry things to the site. After a moment the tent is accessible (yeah, I am still learning the nuances of sequenced packing for camping trips, but that’s another story) and it is my turn to do the heavy lifting, which I do by toting the bundled-up tent down to the campsite where, with great ceremony, I begin to set it up. Yep, all by myself. Because that’s what the package said is possible. And because that’s what Men of the Wilderness like me do. We do it on our own.

You see where this is going?

First, I unfold it. I spread it out on the ground tarps. Then I grasp here and there, as illustrated on the instruction sheet, and lift.

In theory, that’s when the tensionbased fabrication thing is supposed to make itself known. In practice, that’s when I get part of it up but then go to the next part and get part of it up too, only to watch in dismay as the aforementioned first part collapses.

Maybe I just didn’t do it right, I say to myself. I try again. The same thing happens again.

I sense that I am being watched and look surreptitiously over my shoulder. Sure enough, she’s watching me, a faint smile on her face. I try a third time. Three is not the charm.

“I need help,” I say.

She comes to lend a hand, and in less than a minute our textile townhouse is set up and ready to go.

“There!” I say. “Nothing to it!”

See the metaphor? Here it is: Setting up tents and living life are pretty much the same thing. In both cases two are better than one.

You can take that one further if you wish, maybe all the way to the idea that a whole world is better than one.

Just one step further…and that’s worth thinking about.

Expo:

Continued from Page 1

Forsyth County has seen enormous growth in its aging population in recent years, marking considerable jumps in the number of its senior residents.

Like many other visitors to the exposition, the mother and daughter enjoyed a healthy dose of freebies, toting a bag filled with pamphlets and knick-knacks like ice packs, rubber squeeze coin purses, keychains and medical information vials.

Lycia Rettig, spokeswoman for Forsyth County Senior Services, said the expo is her department’s biggest event of the year.

More than a thousand older residents were invited to visit with representatives of about 100 senior care businesses, nonprofits and local government organizations. The large event hall that hosted the expo buzzed with a palpable energy as visitors learned about everything from mobility devices to independent living options.

The exhibition is one piece of a larger network of senior care Forsyth County provides for its aging residents. The county also boasts two senior centers and a variety of services like on-demand public transit and numerous educational and activity opportunities.

Since 2015, Forsyth County has more than doubled its number of residents older than 60, rising to more than 50,000 in 2024. Residents in that age group now make up more than 18 percent of the population, up from 13.7 percent in 2010.

Assisting that increasing population is a daunting task, and the expo allows the county’s Senior Services Department to call on businesses and nonprofits to help them bridge the gap.

“Our mission is to help older adults age well, in whatever that place may be,” Rettig said. “We want to make sure that they have the information, the resources and the knowledge to do that.”

Expansion:

The work is part of a broader, multiyear master plan that will expand Northside Hospital Forsyth into a 500bed facility.

The campus also is undergoing additional development, including a new four-story, 120,000-square-foot medical office building and two parking decks, both expected to be completed by fall 2026.

In attendance were representatives of elder law offices, hospices, hospitals, gyms, clinics of all kinds and various county offices from the Fire Department to Parks and Recreation.

Dr. Katie Mawhinney, an audiologist, spoke to services her office can provide, such as bone density tests that can diagnose hearing issues.

Karen Deas, representative for Silver Sneakers, educated passersby about the national chain of gyms that teaches practical ways of improving mobility and health with exercise.

Josh Davis, spokesman for Cumming senior living center The Phoenix at James Creek, received a number of inquiries about a raffle he was hosting for bottles of sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and Kentucky bourbon. The center even hosts a pub in addition to a game room, media room and demo kitchen.

The alcohol was an apt conversation starter considering The Phoenix makes a special point of creating a living environment where seniors can relax and socialize.

the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce, said the expansions at the hospital will provide benefits throughout the Forsyth County business community.

U.S. Treasurer and former state Sen. Brandon Beach said he envisions the project as transformational for a region that has seen unprecedented growth in recent years. Like the original Ga. 400 project, the express lanes will facilitate significant economic growth in the area, he said.

“There’s a direct correlation between

“It’s a community, but they still need to have fun,” Davis said.

Davis said staying ahead of the curve was one major reason he was there. Often, adult children are left scrambling in search of a living center after their parents suffer a fall or other emergency.

“Families at that point are rushing to figure out where to place mom or dad,” he said. “Are they looking for assisted living? Are they looking for memory care? What is their budget? Being educated ahead of time is a huge deal.”

Stiffler said she is aware of the need to prepare as her mother gets older.

Stiffler, who already lost her father, said it can be emotionally hard to support the woman who once supported her. But she said being prepared makes a big difference.

“It's sad because I don't even want to think about having to prepare for it, but I don't want to be caught by surprise,” she said. “I feel like knowledge is power, and when you know and have a plan, you don't make mistakes.”

infrastructure investment and economic development and jobs, and I think Ga. 400 is a classic example,” he said.

Fulton County Commissioner Bridget Thorne said she expects the express lanes to give residents something less tangible but no less important — time.

“You can never get back your time, and with how many hours of time people spend on Ga. 400 sitting in traffic, my hope in the future is that people get their time back,” she said.

Johns Creek City Councilman Larry

DiBiase said that although Ga. 400 is not within his city limits, residents will see benefits.

Traffic congestion remains a major issue for many residents, he said.

As the express lanes become operational, he expects them to attract vehicles that would otherwise pass through Johns Creek.

“Any way we can expand the arteries coming in and out of the particular area, not just Johns Creek, it will help the residents,” he said. “It is a pressure relief.”

Continued innovation in digital media has changed the ways in which people buy, sell and interact with products and services. It has caused businesses to reassess the ways in which it communicates with potential customers and advertises its products. It has been well documented that these changes have had a destructive impact on local newspapers, which continues to be a primary source for local news, but is no longer a primary source for local advertising dollars – historically the lifeblood for reporters and their coverage. At Appen Media Group we want to address this conflict head on, and build new and innovative approaches to monetizing local news and creating a sustainable future for local journalism in metro Atlanta.

THE APPEN PRESS CLUB

One solution is the creation of a membership driven organization called the Appen Press Club that is dedicated to recruiting people and companies to join as members. Members pay recurring monthly or annual dues that are 100% dedicated to sustainable journalism. By providing predictable revenue, Appen Press Club members and partners help fund the salaries and expenses of local reporters who will no longer be subject to the whims of marketing budgets and an ever changing advertising world. In turn, those reporters will provide the readers they serve with highly researched and qualified journalism focused on subjects that directly affect their quality of life.
