Pinecrest Academy holds mock conclave, electing second grader in papal exercise
By JON WILCOX | jon@appenmedia.com
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Days before the Vatican elected Pope Leo XIV, students at Pinecrest Academy had selected their own supreme pontiff.
One day before the actual Papal Conclave in Rome, Pinecrest students held their own hands-on educational activity, selecting second grader David Levergood as the new mock leader of the church.
“As the white smoke appeared, (the Rev.) Matthew Kaderabek declared, ‘Habemus papam! We have a pope,’” said Vivian Heard, the school’s director of communications and public relations.
Held May 6, the educational opportunity taught students how a new pope is selected, showing first hand how cardinals are entrusted with deciding the next leader of the Catholic church. Pinecrest Academy is a pre-K through 12th grade Catholic school in Cumming.

Land donation could provide park, Greenway connectivity
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A land donation and grant money could bring two new trails to Forsyth County. At its May 6 work session, the County Commission considered a 9.95acre donation along the western edge
of Cheatam Creek west of Cumming. The donation comes from developer Toll Brothers. The land would be used for a park as part of a zoning condition stemming from a 2021 meeting decision.
The developer would donate a portion of property intended for a singlefamily subdivision at 4792 Pittman
Road. Georgia Transmission Company also is ceding a nearby 20-foot-wide property through an easement along Pitman Road to connect the park space to the Big Creek Greenway.
“Everything has aligned nicely on this,” said County Attorney Ken Jarrard.
Commissioner Todd Levent, who negotiated the deal, said the donation
could provide connectivity to the Greenway and nearby Midway Park, creating recreation and transportation options for residents.
Midway Park features about a half dozen athletic fields and courts, a picnic area, playground and walking trail.

Bomb threat reported, deemed noncredible
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies investigated a bomb threat at a Forsyth County middle School April 29.
DeSana Middle School’s principal reported the threat at about 10 a.m., saying a voicemail had been left at the school about 9:45 a.m., according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office report.
The voicemail said bombs had been planted and threatened other violence.
The caller’s voice sounded similar to a person who had previously made a bomb threat, according to the report.
School officials decided against evacuating and searching the school with K-9s.

Deputies charge man with felony kidnapping
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A 39-year-old Roswell man was arrested on a kidnapping charge after allegedly driving off with an automobile dealership employee May 2.
Deputies were dispatched to the McFarland Parkway dealership May 2 to speak with a female service adviser and the business’s leadership, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office report.
The service adviser said the man had asked her to demonstrate features on a loaner vehicle. As soon as she entered, the man drove away with her inside, according to the report.
The woman said the man repeatedly ignored her requests to return her and continued driving for about 45 minutes, going as far as North Point Mall in Alpharetta.
She said the man asked her numerous inappropriate questions about her love
life and appearance. He also invited her to go to a club with him after work and said he planned to take her to his house and lunch.
Although the suspect eventually began driving back toward the dealership, he repeatedly intentionally missed turns, saying "Whoops, we have to take the long way."
Deputies stopped the man as he was attempting to leave the dealership.
He was charged with felony kidnapping of an adult and misdemeanor obstruction of law enforcement officers.

Woman reports spouse for alleged drug use
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A 34-year-old Suwanee man was arrested on warrant and drug charges May 4 after his wife reported him to deputies.
Deputies met with the wife, 32-yearold Suwanee woman, after they were dispatched to Redcliff Court after an abandoned vehicle was reported, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office report.
The woman said her husband had a warrant. She said her marriage was failing and her husband was abusing drugs. She also said the abandoned vehicle was registered to a woman who was romantically involved with her husband.
Deputies confirmed the man was charged with a Johns Creek police warrant.
With the wife’s permission, deputies entered and searched the home. They found and arrested the man. A search revealed a bag of cocaine in the master bedroom.

Fire Department rescues teenager at waterfall
ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell Police and Fire rescued an 18-year-old Bartow County woman April 28 after she hit her head at the Big Creek waterfall near the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area’s Vickery Creek trail.
Officers said they arrived at Old Mill Park on the city’s side of the river and saw
a female across the water sitting on the ground beneath the waterfall. They said she was not alert and appeared to be in and out of consciousness.
Officers said they were unable to communicate with the injured woman because of the water’s noise. They said a 19-yearold Cartersville man was with her and would occasionally move her to confirm she was conscious.
The report says as a sergeant and a lieutenant were crossing the creek to help her, the Roswell Fire Department arrived from the National Park’s Vickrey Creek Trail.
Officers said firefighters and paramedics eventually got the injured woman in an ambulance and transported her to Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center.
A National Parks Service law enforcement ranger arrived on scene and information was turned over to him, the report says.

Tavern reports theft of $276 worth of liquor
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Liquor was reported stolen April 25 in an alleged burglary of an Academy Street tavern.
Officers were dispatched to the tavern and met with an employee, according to an Alpharetta police report.
The employee said a person entered the closed business about 9 a.m., stealing bottles of liquor from the bar.
Police watched a security video that showed a male suspect enter, take seven bottles and leave with the bottles concealed in a backpack. A door was left unlocked for a morning delivery.
The suspect entered the tavern while the delivery driver was taking items from the truck.
The stolen liquor was valued at a total of $276.59 and included three bottles of Crown Royal, one bottle of Patron Silver, one bottle of Jack Daniel’s, one bottle of Herradura tequila and one bottle of rum.
The incident was classified as a felony burglary of business without force.

Robotics class opens career doors for Forsyth County kids
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A simple, twowheel robot gave Forsyth County kids a jumpstart on becoming the technologists of tomorrow.
“You just nudge them in the right direction, and they can do amazing things,” said Pranjal Mishra, a wealth division technologist working at Alpharetta’s Morgan Stanley campus.
Mishra and other Morgan Stanley employees guided about 20 Forsyth County middle schoolers through a robotics class at the Forsyth County Family YMCA this spring. Together, they built and programmed robots, learning about artificial intelligence, computer programming and automation.
On May 8, the youths visited the company’s Alpharetta campus at 1 Edison Drive where they proudly demonstrated their creations and accepted certificates while munching on pizza.
The graduation was the culmination of an about month-long STEM robotics course hosted by Morgan Stanley and the YMCA.
The robots were relatively simple in design, capable of moving forward
and backward and turning, but the concepts behind their function were profound. The young participants
used a Microsoft interface to create instructions for Raspberry Pi computer chips and infrared receivers.
The four-week course taught powerful programming ideas like variables, functions and hardware. Those lessons may provide a foundation for future careers of many kinds, for which programming is becoming increasingly essential, Mishra said.
For example, Mishra said programming and artificial intelligence are even becoming essential tools in the financial industry.
During the past 10 years, artificial intelligence has emerged at many cutting-edge financial firms to facilitate high-speed trading, according to an International Monetary Fund blog. The technology also is allowing firms to analyze vast quantities of data to create powerful forecasts.
Marsha Nichols, vice president global tech philanthropy, said the course aims to provide opportunities for kids by giving them the tools they need to use technology as adults. It also provides them with a chance to develop soft skills like problem solving.
“You hope the next generation takes it in the right direction, in a positive direction, and that technology is not something that's eliminating opportunities for them,” she said.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta is still waiting to see whether it will be chosen to host a National Hockey League team, but in the meantime, it’s doing its homework.
At a May 2 special meeting, the Alpharetta Development Authority unanimously approved a $150,000 feasibility study by strategic consulting firm Creative Artists Agency. Alpharetta is in the running to attract a hockey team after Alpharetta Sports & Entertainment Group submitted in March 2024 a petition to attract an NHL franchise.
If Alpharetta is selected, the team would most likely play at an arena in the North Point Mall area, City Administrator Chris Lagerbloom said. The site is competing with a mega mixeduse arena project proposed in Forsyth County.
Although no project has formally been proposed in Alpharetta, the city has commissioned the Creative Artists Agency study to ensure its viability.
“We wouldn’t go into something blind,” Lagerbloom said. “A good progressive city does this type of work in advance of these massive, massive types of projects.”
The study, which is expected to take five to six months, will explore financial feasibility and economic impacts. Costs will be split between the Development Authority and Awesome
Alpharetta, the city’s convention and visitors bureau.
Creative Artists Agency’s analysis will determine market demand and appropriate characteristics for a new arena. It will estimate what kind of event programming and attendance the market can support, generating a financial profile to evaluate financial viability.
Lagerbloom said city officials are particularly interested in how many hockey fans are in the area and what kinds of costs and revenues an arena might bring. Although the city suspects such a project could provide enormous economic benefits, a study is required to ensure it would be successful.
“Until we can validate it with data, it’s just a hunch,” Lagerbloom said.
Janet Rodgers, president and CEO of Awesome Alpharetta, agreed with Lagerbloom, saying an arena could be a serious boon to the city. An arena likely could host a variety of events other than hockey games and attract numerous visitors to the city.
Rodgers said if Ameris Bank Amphitheatre with its capacity for 12,000 visitors is any indication, a venue in the North Point Mall area could provide considerable business to the city’s 30 hotels.
Alpharetta’s about 200 restaurants and 250 shops also could see benefits from arena visitors, she said.
“We’re excited to think about these possibilities,” she said.

The Alpharetta Development Authority discusses a study to review impacts and feasibility of a potential arena project May 2.

Bloom Roadside serves up specialty donuts, burgers
By SARAH COYNE sarah@appenmedia.com
MILTON, Ga. — Life is like a box of doughnuts for Bloom Roadside.
The little café on the side of the Hopewell Road in Milton offers an array of fresh doughnuts, coffee, teas, sandwiches and burgers.
Located at 15260 Hopewell Road, inside the historic Hardeman’s Grocery, employees greet customers with a smile.
It all began in May 2021, when New Yorker Josh Kim decided to create Milton’s next doughnut shop. Kim renovated the 1,100 square-foot historic store from the 1940s into a cozy, farmhouse café.
“They always wanted to do a simple, humble, family-oriented [environment],” General Manager Daniel Nicks said.
Chef at Atlanta staples, like Fred’s Meat & Bread and The General Muir, Todd Ginsburg later joined the picture to help out with the shop.
Since then, doughnuts have been handmade each morning, hours before the store opens at 7:30 a.m. on weekdays. Although it may seem intense, the process is quite simple, as the store only uses unbleached flour, milk, eggs and butter.
“We want indulgence, but simple, clean ingredients,” Nicks said.
Customers can enjoy fresh, warm doughnuts of all flavors, including chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, cinnamon, coffee bacon, apple fritter and cookies n’ cream.
Doughnuts aren’t the only star of the show. Nicks said that the staple of the restaurant is the Roadside Burger, made with 100 percent certified angus beef, american cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles and a sesame bun.
“People would hear about us a lot for the doughnuts, but business is actually built on the Roadside Burger,” he said.
The burgers are ground in-house and cooked in the shop.
“Everything is made from scratch,” Nicks said.
Those looking for a unique menu item can try the doughnut burger, which features the Roadside Burger sandwiched between a toasted and
glazed doughnut.
While menu items are important, Nicks said the most vital part to him is the community. On any regular day, customers can find him greeting the regulars and making connections with new faces.
The shop runs on three words,
cuisine, comfort and community, evidenced through the shop’s outreach with the City of Milton.
“We want [to] be a place where people can come and hang out,” Nicks said.

Every Friday at 10 a.m., community members can bring their children to story time. Bloom Roadside also hosts several events like dance alongs and a Memorial Day BBQ for guests to enjoy.
Madison Becker, who grew up 10 minutes from the store, now serves as assistant general manager. One of her favorite parts of the job is the baking.
“It’s calm,” she said.
Not only does Becker get to bake, but she also gets to come up with the new specialty flavors.
“It’s really fun to come up with new flavors,” Becker said.
Every two months, Becker goes through her process, which includes going on Pinterest and brainstorming what will work best for the season.
Becker gave a sneak peek into this summer’s flowery flavor, which will include notes of hibiscus and honeysuckle.
“We’ve got a super creative staff,” Nicks said.

What if school was more than just school?
Brought to you by – Woodward Academy
Most schools promise academic rigor. Most schools tout extracurriculars. But what if school wasn’t just a checklist of classes and activities? What if it was a place where your child was seen, challenged, and supported in a way that transformed their future?
At Woodward Academy, students don’t just attend school—they find their place in a community that values curiosity, connection, and personal growth. But don’t take our word for it. The best people to tell you about life at Woodward are the ones living it: our students.
More than just a classroom
It’s easy to assume that a school is only as good as its classes, but as Jackson, a senior who has been at Woodward since first grade, points out, it’s the teachers that make the difference:
“A lot of the teachers really care— even the ones you don’t necessarily have for classes. I have great relationships with teachers who don’t work here anymore or have never even taught me.”
That kind of connection goes beyond textbooks. Jackson even has regular lunches with a retired English teacher he met by chance while working at Publix. That’s the kind of lifelong mentorship that changes the way students see education— not as something they must do, but as something that actively shapes their lives. Elizabeth, a senior who transferred in freshman year, found a similar experience:
“Our AP English and history classes are super discussion-based. You get so many opportunities to explore those subjects in your own way, to get to know them at the level you want to.”
That freedom—to learn deeply, to ask questions, and to engage—creates students who don’t just memorize information for tests. They become thinkers, leaders, and innovators.
Balancing it all (and still having a life) Woodward students don’t just live for the classroom. They juggle academics, sports, arts, and leadership roles, all while learning to manage their time like pros. Elizabeth, who is deeply involved in theater, describes how she balances everything:
“I spend a couple of hours in rehearsal after school every day, plus dance classes and voice lessons at night. The key is using the time we have during the day—morning tutorial blocks, a long lunch period—to be productive. It keeps me on track without losing sleep or getting overwhelmed.”
For students like Landon, a dualsport athlete, and Arun, a cross-country runner and orchestra member, success comes down to structure and support. Woodward’s R-period (Rest Period) and study halls give students dedicated time to complete work, meet with teachers, or simply catch their breath.
“As a junior and senior, I can leave early or come in late if my schedule allows.” says Farah. “That flexibility helps me stay organized and well-rested.”
This level of built-in support is intentional—it teaches students how to manage their responsibilities without burning out, a skill that will serve them long after graduation.
Teachers who change lives
Behind every successful student is a teacher who saw something in them
before they saw it in themselves. At Woodward, those relationships define the experience.
Landon nearly dropped AP Calculus after his first test, but his teacher, Ms. Gentry, convinced him to stick with it.
“She challenged me, encouraged me, and always checked in—not just about math, but about my life. I’ll never forget when she caught me in the parking lot after a basketball game to tell me I had made 100 on a test. That moment meant so much.”
Elizabeth recalls how her English teacher turned a lesson into an experience:
“We studied transcendentalist theory and ended up watching Dead Poets Society. The next day, we were literally standing on
our desks, reciting poetry. That’s what makes learning stick.”
This kind of investment—teachers who don’t just teach but inspire—sets Woodward apart.
What does this mean for you?
If you’re a student thinking about your next step, ask yourself: Do I want to just go to school, or do I want to be part of something bigger?
If you’re a parent, consider this: Do you want a school where your child will simply excel, or a school where they will thrive?
Woodward Academy isn’t just about preparing students for college. It’s about preparing them for life. For leadership. For the unexpected opportunities that come from a school that sees the whole person, not just the student.
And if you don’t believe us, just ask our students.
5 ways to keep your cool in the summer!
Brought
to you by
– Becca Samelson Webb, M.A., Licensed Associate Professional Counselor at Summit Counseling Center
With Memorial Day just around the corner and temperatures rising, that can only mean one thing: summer is coming! The summer can be full of fun with pool parties, beach trips, cookouts, and vacations. But with the fun comes some frustration, as the heat and change in schedules can be difficult to manage! And with these difficulties, it becomes more difficult to regulate emotions. Here’s some tips to help you keep your cool during the summer heat!
1. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
It’s no secret that with the summer heat comes an increased risk of dehydration. Most people are aware of the physical health risks related to dehydration, but not everyone realizes that there can be an emotional or behavioral affect as well. Without enough water, you’ll notice yourself getting grumpy and more easily frustrated. You might also be somewhat sluggish and tired, which can affect motivation to do tasks you need to accomplish. If you struggle with drinking water, find a cute water bottle to bring with you wherever you go. You can also set mini rewards for yourself based on how much water you drink. Additionally, you could always try adding flavors like Liquid IV into your water to get the electrolytes you need.
2. Make a summer goal
If you’re bored, you’re more likely to find yourself irritable. When heading into the hottest months of the year, try to identify a goal for yourself. Some might be athletic, such as frequent exercising, increased outdoor time, or
weight loss. Other goals can be based on activities: learn to knit, begin to play an instrument, or perfect a new recipe. Maybe you want to get some tasks done around the house, cleaning out your closets, give away unneeded furniture, or organize your bookshelves. Maybe you want to catch up on reading, learn more about a passion topic, or start to volunteer for a cause you believe in. Whatever you decide, if you have a goal to work towards in the summer, you’ll be less likely to fall into a rut and stay more motivated to find ways to enjoy the summer months.
3. Stick to your sleep schedule
While summer might give you the chance to sleep in, do your best to stick to a consistent sleep schedule. While sleeping in can be tempting, it’s worse for your sleep in the long run to keep changing your sleep schedule. If you normally get up at 8am, try to stick to that schedule, even if you don’t have to. Having a more consistent sleep schedule will help you feel rested and ready to take on the day.
4. Avoid “brain rot”
When you’re on break, you have more free time and that can lead to boredom. In today’s world, people have a difficult time with boredom, filling their time with screens by pulling up their phones or putting on a show the minute there’s nothing to do. However, too much
reliance on screens or online content can keep you from making the most of your day. Find ways to relax without using screens, such as reading in the sun, going for a walk, or spending time with friends. Or, as the kids say, go touch some grass.
5. Enjoy yourself!
While I’ve focused mainly on ways to keep yourself more productive and your life more consistent, it’s also important to let yourself have fun. You don’t just have to be productive, you can also relax and enjoy yourself. Spend time with family, go to the beach, have a late-night bonfire, or picnic in the park. Whatever you choose, make sure you spend time doing something fun for yourself over the summer.
Summer gives us an opportunity to take a break from our busy lives and reevaluate our needs. While it’s important to use your time to rest and relax, you can also find ways to use your time to stay motivated, take care of yourself, and give yourself some self-care. With a balance of consistency and relaxation, you can make the most out of summer.

We’ve been away for a few weeks, savoring the countryside of northwest England in what they call the Lake District. It was one of those trips where there’s a little bit of work (writing about Lake District fly fishing) and a lot of fun (traveling, sightseeing, hiking, meeting folks and discovering new ales at quaint and charming pubs, among other things).

There were occasional moments of terror, too, thanks to the fact that we’d rented a car and were driving on the other side of the road. But she points out to me (gently but definitely) that I’m using the royal “we,” for she did all the driving. Yes, she did, and very well too.
We were in England for quite a while. In fact, we were there for my birthday. She gave me a new day pack, one made in this century. It’ll be perfect for the kind of hiking I like to do. I’ll tell you more about it soon. What adventures will it bring? I don’t know, but I will treasure every one.
As often happens, the first part of our trip passes with luxurious slowness, each day lasting and lasting and stretching from here to the far horizon. I savor such days. They have no time attached. They go on forever.
But then, just when you have finally decided that you want this foreverness to go on…well, forever…it’s time to go home.
Don’t get me wrong. I love going home. But I love “being there,” too, wherever “there” may happen to be. And I wonder: In this world where we can do so many things, why can’t we figure out a way to have our travel cake and eat it too?
And so, we drove from the village of Grasmere, which had been home away from home for those magical weeks in England, to the airport in Manchester. We got on an airplane. The pilot cranked it up, and nine hours later we were once again stuck in traffic on the downtown connector. But we were home. And I was thinking about fishing.
In England, we had fished the English way for brown trout. We fished in glacial lakes and in cold, clear rivers. The fish were spectacular.
Now, in Canton, Ga., 30115, we would fish again. But we would be fishing for brim.
Brim, the colloquial spelling of “bream,” is a catch-all term that covers the myriad sunfish found in warmwater streams all

Papal:

To prepare for the activity, students watched videos, engaged in lessons about the papacy and learned about the centuries-old conclave process. Ahead of the mock conclave, students brainstormed about the needs they see in the school and qualities a leader should have.
During the mock conclave, student participants joined in prayer, asking that the cardinals would be inspired by the Holy Spirit to make the right choice.
Kaderabek said he was deeply proud with the respect students showed for the process, noting how they abstained from joking and complaining.
“I was thrilled with how seriously the entire class took this process of electing the next Pope,” Kaderabek said. “They all came quietly into the chapel, and while the girls prayed the Rosary and prayed for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to guide the electors, the boys prayerfully considered their important choice before casting their secret vote.”
After the faux Pope David was vested, he made a first appearance and blessed his flock. Bodyguards then led him to his “popemobile,” and he was driven by the head of the school to visit all three floors of the academy, blessing everyone.
To celebrate his election, students received candies dubbed “lolli-Popes.”
David also made a quick visit to the oratory to pray privately while being closely guarded by his pretend bodyguards.
He finished his papal duties for the day with an interview and by holding audiences with visitors.

over the Southeast. My daddy used it as a descriptor of that massive class of fishtypes which he so loved to pursue. His was an eminently practical taxonomy of fishes with just four categories (bream, bass, catfish and everything else). It may not have been the most precise in the world, but by golly it covered the bases.
In England, I remember, they also had a fish called a bream. But it bore little resemblance to the ones hereabouts and was in fact some totally different kind of creature. The word was spoken differently too. One of or British angling mentors pronounced it “breem.” Someday I’ll have to go back to the Lake District and try to catch one of ‘em, just in the interest of touching all the bases.
So many fish! So little time.
“Pope David stepped humbly right into his role without missing a beat and went to be with his people with a gentle smile upon his face, blessing the crowds as he went,” Kaderabek
Anyway, it’s “brim” that’s on my mind as I think about where to go.
“Where shall we go?” I ask her.
We discuss options. We consider possibilities. Ultimately, we settle on a stream in the local lake district (Allatoona Lake, specifically) and decide to venture toward Allatoona Creek.
Allatoona Creek is one of those warmwater streams that’s both accessible and fishable. The trick is to figure out how to get to it and, having done that, how to get to the water. I knew it would be worth the effort. I’d had some fine days there over the years. And so we packed up the rods, and off we went. We stopped for a frozen Coke on the way. It was refreshing.
And then we were there.
From the car park (uh-oh…more English terms creeping in) to the water was about a 20-minute walk.
Then came the big question: What flies should we choose?
She favors small foam spiders, prefer -
said. “I couldn't be more proud of him and his classmates."
Not long after, cardinals in the Sistine Chapel voted to elect Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as the new leader of the Catholic Church. He has taken the name Leo XIV.
ably pink ones, and the fish seem to universally approve of that choice. I tied one to her line, and she was off to the water. I knew she’d be landing fish before I was even finished rigging my own rod.
Again the question: Which fly?
I could have used a pink spider, too. I knew it would work. But I was still in a vaguely English frame of mind. And I wondered…
Would a classic English fly – a fly crafted by my friend in from across the pond, a fly created with wild English brown trout in mind – would that fly possibly work on a good ol’ north Georgia crick and help me catch a few bream?
Well, I was gonna find out.
The fly, something called a “Foam Buzzer,” imitates an emerging insect. One of the fisherfolk we’d met in England had tied them and had given us a few. The fly floats low in the film (that’s fishing talk for right at the surface) with most of its body hanging down below. Fish see it as a
stranded insect that’s an easy meal, and the brown trout in England loved it with wild abandon.
I tied it on. I eased over to the water. I made a cast, and (I’m not making this up) on the very first cast I had a profound hit, and a few minutes later was looking at the biggest bream (“brim”) I’d ever landed from that hallowed little creek.
More casts…more fish…I was deciding that my hometown bream apparently didn’t mind that I was tossing them a fly which spoke with an English accent.
Meanwhile, a few yards away, she was catching only the occasional fish. Wonder of wonders, I was in the lead!
“Change flies?” I asked. I fished out another Foam Buzzer and tied it onto her line, and that’s all it took.
The spell of England was working its magic on Allatoona Creek, and for a little while, the place we had been and the place where we were didn’t seem so far apart after all.

Levent said the additional trail connectivity could be a valuable resource for visitors and especially parents who find themselves with downtime during youth athletic games and practices.
Additionally, the popularity of the county’s 16-mile stretch of Greenway makes adding trails important to reduce crowds.
Because the land is inside a floodplain and unsuitable for homes, the donation is a “win-win,” Levent said. It also provides the Toll Brothers
subdivision with green space, creating another amenity for prospective home buyers.
Levent said the developer could fund the creation of the path.
“It will make a great walking path connecting back to Midway,” he said.
At the work session, commissioners also considered a $5 million U.S. Department of Transportation grant that would fund the design and construction of a multi-use trail near Lake Lanier along Shady Grove Road and Shadburn Ferry Road. The grant would require no match in county funds.
The two trail items will be up for consideration at the commission’s regular formal meeting May 15.
