Homeowner spots burglar through security camera JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A Johns Creek man called police to his Montclair Way residence late May 12 after spotting a burglar on surveillance video roaming outside his home.

The homeowner lost his security camera feed shortly after motion was detected by his security alarm. Before it went dead, he saw someone walking near his garage. He then called 911.

Johns Creek Arts Center event celebrates Eid al-Fitr

BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Johns Creek Arts Center held another swag bag art to-go drive-up event on May 15 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to commemorate Eid al-Fitr. Residents and families were welcome to drive up to the entrance and receive giftbags of child-friendly art items themed after the Muslim holiday.

Eid al-Fitr means the “festival of breaking the fast” and was celebrated between the evenings of May 12 and 13.

“This marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan in which Muslims fast for a whole month during daylight hours and reflect on those who are less fortunate and are encouraged to be generously active in charities,” said Arts Center Executive Director Stephanie Donaldson. “The diverse groups we have focused on have been very happy that we are reaching out to their communities fostering a sense of good will, inclusion and community.”

This is one of a number of the organization’s drive-up events focused on an important cultural landmark or holiday.

A giveaway was held for Earth Day last month. The initial idea for these swag bag events came as a response to COVID and the organization’s willingness to continue bringing the arts to the community.

“Our commitment to outreach and community service is an integral part of our programming… as a way to continue our community service we decided to celebrate the holiday traditions important to the members of our community.”

Donaldson said. “Our city is recognized as one of the most diverse in the nation, and we felt it important and exciting to celebrate along with our neighbors and learn along the way.”

The Arts Center has plans to contin-

ue providing elementary-aged children with educational art activities centered on cultural celebration and representation. Despite the struggles of the pandemic, Donaldson said she loves the idea of allowing a child to complete an artistic activity independently at home.

“With each swag bag family drive up day we learn about cultural traditions that are not our own. We feel it is important in a community such as ours to understand the relevance of and respect traditions which we may be unfamiliar with,” Donaldson said. “The diversity of our board of directors reflects our community, and it is important that our programming does the same. We want everyone in the community to feel welcome and embraced by the Johns Creek Arts Center.”

North metro cities set own plans to revive Memorial Day observances

BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com As the pandemic continues to alter plans for social events, north metro cities are determined to honor deceased members of the armed forces late this month.

Most cities are planning either virtual or in-person ceremonies for Memorial Day. Residents of Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, Cumming, and Dunwoody can look forward to honoring deceased veterans during the special day.

To commemorate the event, Army veteran Capt. Donna Rowe will be featured speaker. Rowe served as head nurse in the emergency room/triage area of 3rd Field Hospital, Saigon. It was there that she took on the task of saving a barely alive Vietnamese baby girl from her dead mother’s arms. In 2016, Rowe was honored as the first female inducted into the Georgia Military Veteran’s Hall of Fame. To access the stream, visit www.youtu.be/LJzUnHh5IGU.

Roswell Traditionally the largest Memorial Day service in the state, Roswell has scheduled a virtual celebration streaming live on YouTube. The Roswell Rotary Club produced a video for the occasion comprising the “best of the best” moments from past ceremonies set to air on that Monday at 11 a.m.

“For 22 consecutive years thousands of people from Roswell and around the state have joined the Rotary Club of Roswell and the City of Roswell to honor the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our country,” Rotary Club President Lynne Lindsay said.

The event is held annually on the green at Roswell City Hall, but as in 2020, the city has canceled the in-person event for this year.

Alpharetta Members of the Alpharetta Rotary Club are resuming their annual service virtually with a live stream from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Retired Marine Lt. Col. Jeffrey Davis will serve as the keynote speaker for the event which will include interviews with two Gold Star families who will tell their stories and discuss what the special day means to them.

“On Memorial Day we honor those who sacrificed for our country,” co-chair of the event William Perkins said. “We salute the fallen and remember their lives.

It is because of them that we have the freedoms we cherish.”

The celebration will also feature a performance of “Taps” by Curtis Malcom.

To view the live stream, visit www. youtube.com/watch?v=L4DkvDbskyU.

Milton In observance of the community’s health and safety, Milton will commemorate the day with a published ad, social media campaign honoring fallen troops, and a rebroadcast of their 2020 collaborative video. The video featured photos from past Milton Memorial Day celebrations with a speech authored by the National Foundation of Patriotism read and overlaid by local media personality Cadillac Jack.

“The City of Milton is keeping a watchful eye on local and statewide COVID numbers while looking forward to and planning for the day when we can all safely and comfortably gather together,” Milton’s Special Events Coordinator Patricia Wolf said.

Dunwoody Meanwhile, Dunwoody is providing residents with the option to attend a live ceremony in-person or virtually. The event will be held at the Brook Run Park Veterans Memorial at 10 a.m. as a collaboration between the city and Dunwoody’s Veteran Events Planning Committee. DeKalb County Commissioner Steve Bradshaw will serve as the keynote speaker for the celebration.

“Last year, our Memorial Day Ceremony was held virtually,” Mayor Lynn Deutsch said. “This year, I’m grateful for the option to safely gather to honor and remember those who sacrificed their lives

for their country and our freedom.”

Deutsch will open the ceremony leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Dunwoody Police Maj. Michael Carlson, Georgia National Guard Captain, will introduce a moment of silence before Ralf Morales, Associate Pastor of Iglesia Adventista Church, delivers the Invocation. The ceremony will also include special music performed by the Callanwolde Concert Band Brass Quintet. The commemorative ceremony is streaming live on the city’s official Facebook page.

Cumming Cumming has scheduled its in-person ceremony early on Friday, May 28 at 11 a.m. at the Veterans War Memorial. The event includes the new dedications into the Avenue of Flags display performed each year.

“Each flag represents one or more local veterans who have passed on. It is an extremely moving moment when each new flag is unfurled for the first time by that veteran’s loved ones,” ceremony organizer Crystal Ledford said. “This ceremony is a beautiful event that we hope brings our community together in gratitude for all those who have nobly served our nation, and particularly to those who served but who are no longer with us.

Parking is available in the Castleberry Road parking deck. The event is open to the public and all are welcome to attend.

Wall That Heals receives repairs in time for Memorial Day

By KATIE ANDERSON newsroom@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Wall That Heals, a 250-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Newtown Park, received unpredicted, but much needed, repairs in time for Memorial Day. Visitors to Newtown Park may have noticed that the Wall That Heals, which the city acquired in March 2020, was missing some of its panels. The removal came after the Johns Creek Veterans Association noticed several of the heavy marble slabs were in danger of falling and shattering.

Johns Creek Veterans Association President Col. Mike Mizell said no panels were damaged, but the grout holding the plaques to the concrete foundation was insufficient, and they feared the plaques would fall. Those that were removed were re-installed this past weekend using a screw and metal bracket.

“We’re re-adhering nine panels and eventually, we’re gonna have to do the same thing to the other panels, because they all used that same type of adhesive,” Mizell said. “So, I think we’ll probably be scheduling that at some future date.”

The City of Johns Creek is covering the cost for the repairs, but Mizell said that donations to the Johns Creek Veterans Association could be paid into the city for the additional repairs as needed.

Mizell said he is happy the problem became evident

early enough to avoid damage to the wall. That means a lot to Veterans Association and to veterans around the state and country, he said. Newtown Park, home to the largest privately funded veteran’s park in the United States, will be the site for ceremonies honoring veterans throughout Georgia.

As Memorial Day approaches, different organizations throughout Johns Creek and neighboring cities are making plans to honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

The Johns Creek Veterans Association plans to lay a wreath at the Wall That Heals and Davenport Plaza, the entrance to the Veterans Memorial Walk also in Newtown Park, the Sunday before Memorial Day. Also on Sunday, three veterans’ groups will come together for a 10K ruck march from the Veterans Memorial at Newtown Park to American Legion Post 201 in Alpharetta.

The march will include an intermediate stop at the Veteran’s Memorial at City Hall in downtown Alpharetta.

In the military, ruck marches are part of basic recruit training.

The participating groups are Sheep Dog Impact Assistance, www.sheepdogia.org; Carry the Load, www.carrytheload.org, and American Legion Post 201.

Mizell said the Shepherds Men organization raises awareness and funds for the SHARE Military Initiative at Shepherd Center in Atlanta. The SHARE Initiative is a nationally renowned program that focuses on assessment

The Wall That Heals in Newtown Park received some much needed repairs over the weekend, just in time for Memorial Day. and treatment for American military veterans who have sustained mild to moderate traumatic brain injury and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder during post-9/11 service.

Mizell said that he and the Johns Creek Veterans Association have high hopes for the Veterans Memorial Walk and want to make it “the most beautiful Veterans Memorial park outside of D.C.” He said he has met with a landscape engineer and a master gardener to help make the area in Newtown Park more beautiful and peaceful with shaded greenery and white flowers. They hope to partner with nurseries either owned by veterans or who would be willing to support the veterans in exchange for a placard or recognition.

Local golf teams capture state titles

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com GEORGIA — Three local teams earned championships at the Georgia High School Association golf state finals held at several courses May 17-18.

The Lambert girls continued their dominance of the competition in the state’s highest classification, winning their seventh state championship in the last eight years. The Johns Creek boys also extended their championship streak to five, and the Milton boys won their second state title and first in nine years.

Several other local teams had strong showings at the finals.

Class 7A boys Milton boys golf led throughout the Class 7A boys finals at Spring Hill Country Club in Tifton, outpacing the field by 16 strokes to capture the program’s first state championship since 2012.

The Eagles finished the two-day tournament at 22-over-par, 16 strokes ahead of Lambert and more than 40 strokes ahead of West Forsyth in third.

Milton led by nine strokes after the first round and cut their team total by six strokes in the second day of play.

The Eagles were led by three golfers placing in the top-5 in individual play, including a low-medal win by Craig Long, who shot a 73 and 72 for a 1-over-par finish.

Long had six birdies, 23 pars and seven bogies through the tournament to beat the field.

Teammate Rahul Rajendran started the second round tied for seventh and improved his second-round score by five strokes to take second at 3-over-par. Will Jones tied for fourth at 5-over-par through both rounds.

Mason Fundingsland rounded out the Eagles’ scoring with a 13-over-par performance, good for 16th overall.

Though Lambert couldn’t keep pace with Milton, the Longhorns bested the rest of the field by 25 strokes to finish as state runner-up.

Lambert had all four of its scoring players place in the top-20, led by Myles Jones, who tied for fourth at 5-over-par.

Nick Schwendiman was ninth, Luke

Johns Creek boys golf continued their incredible streak of five straight state championships with the team capturing the 6A title May 18 at Sunset Hills Country Club in Carrolton. The Gladiators are just the fourth team in all classifications to win five straight championships over the last 20 years.

Cusick tied for 11th and Wesley Hu improved his second-round score by five strokes to finish 18th.

West Forsyth, the 2019 Class 7A champs, earned another podium finish this year by placing 25 strokes behind Lambert for third.

Jimmy Coleman led the Wolverines, tying for seventh at 7-over-par.

Roswell improved its second-round team total by 14 strokes to place seventh overall in a logjam of teams. The Hornets were edged by Lowndes by one stroke but beat out North Gwinnett by a single stroke to take seventh.

Roswell’s Tommie Methvin and Julian Krone tied for 19th.

Class 7A girls The Lambert girls continued their dynasty

with the program’s seventh championship in eight years and left no doubt during the state finals at Sunset Country Club in Moultrie. The Longhorns outpaced the field by 21-strokes in each round to finish at 10-over-par, 42 strokes ahead of Peachtree Ridge.

The Longhorns nearly had a perfect tournament with their four scoring players all finishing in the top-5 in individual play.

Averi Cline defended her crown as the low medalist in 7A girls competition, shooting a 73 and 72 for a 1-over-par finish with eight birdies, 19 pars and nine bogeys.

Cline beat out teammate Sara Im, the individual state runner-up at 4-over-par, who shot two rounds of 74. Iris Cao completed the podium sweep for Lambert with

Veterans continue drive to revive Old Soldiers Day Parade

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A newly formed nonprofit affiliated with veterans continues to lay plans to revive the traditional Alpharetta Old Soldiers Day Parade, whether it’s held in Alpharetta or not.

Representatives from the Northern Arc Old Soldiers Day Foundation say they have met several times with Alpharetta city officials to settle on costs for services, like police, traffic control, sanitation and a host of other items necessary to hold a parade.

Charles Turner, who heads the Foundation’s Old Soldiers Day Committee, said the city has presented the group with an unreachable expense estimate, along with other demands that cannot be met in time to hold the event on its traditional first Saturday of August.

As cost negotiations continue with the city, Turner said volunteers are reaching out to schools, businesses and civic groups about their parade plans. At the last Old Soldiers Day, there were about 100 parade entries.

Turner said the Foundation will soon set up its own mailing address for donations and correspondence. Currently, the operation is headquartered at American Legion Post 201 in Alpharetta.

In a meeting earlier this month, committee members said they hope to garner support from throughout north Metro Atlanta, and they were willing to consider holding the parade wherever accommodations were most inviting.

Up until last year, Old Soldiers Day had been an Alpharetta staple since 1952.

COVID canceled last year’s event, but its current struggle began a year earlier when two men — Richard Leake and Michael Dean — filed suit in U.S. District Court seeking an injunction against the city for refusing to allow the Roswell Mills Camp Sons of Confederate Veterans from displaying the battle flag in the parade. The city argued that similar flag displays had been linked to violence and disorder at similar events across the country.

The city escaped the challenge hours before the parade when Judge William M. Ray II denied to act on the motion.

But the litigation had its effect on Alpharetta’s City Council, which voted later in the year to withhold official sponsorship for the event. That support totaled around $20,000 in police, sanitation and other services.

The City Council action does not prohibit the Old Soldiers Day Parade, so long as it is organized under private sponsorship and funding.

Other than Mayor Jim Gilvin’s labeling the city’s withdrawal “a damn shame,” Alpharetta has publicly said little.

However, it remains engaged in the litigation.

Days after the 2019 parade was held, the city filed a motion for summary judgement, asking Judge Ray to throw out the case on its merits (more appropriately “lack of merits”). That motion was granted.

Leake and Dean appealed the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, then later withdrew that filing.

They then refiled a motion with the same U.S. District Court asking that their suit be reconsidered. Ray denied the motion.

From there, Leake and Dean refiled their appeal with the 11th Circuit, where it currently sits.

The case is scheduled for a hearing in

The Foundation’s Old Soldiers Day Committee includes members from Roswell, Alpharetta and Johns Creek, but members say they want to expand membership to veterans and veterans organizations in surrounding counties.

Meanwhile, Taylor said the group is seeking support from the community.

“We are hoping to attract corporate and all donations to help us meet our goal of again keeping our tradition moving forward,” he said.

Donations should be designated for Northern Arc Old Soldiers Day Foundation Inc., and can be dropped by Legion Post 201, 201 Wills Road in Alpharetta. Taylor said the Foundation will provide all donors with its EIN Tax number.

Customers are more comfortable with frequenting these businesses now that they have the vaccine.

Alpharetta Commons sold for $24.6 million

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Hanley Investment Group has arranged the sale of Alpharetta Commons shopping center for $24.6 million to a private investor from California.

The 94,500-square-foot shopping center on the southwest corner of Old Milton Parkway and Kimball Bridge Road is anchored by Publix Super Markets and is 98.7 percent occupied.

Hanley Investment Group President Ed Hanley and Executive Vice President Kevin Fryman, along with ParaSell, Inc., represented the 1031 exchange buyer. The seller was an institutional real estate owner, operator and developer of a national portfolio, and was represented by CBRE Executive Vice President Chris Decouflé, Senior Vice President Kevin Hurley and Senior Associate Matt Karempelis.

The shopping center was built in 1997 and is located on 10.66 acres at 4305 State Bridge Road/ Old Milton Parkway.

The average household income within a threemile radius of the property is over $163,000 for the 86,000 residents. Nearly 209,000 people reside within five miles of the shopping center.

Fryman noted the Ga. 120 corridor is one of the most heavily traveled in the area, with approximately 54,600 vehicles per day passing by the shopping center. The property also has two signalized entrances. The property also benefits from the 16.5 million square feet of office and industrial space within a three-mile radius of the property, Fryman added.

In addition to Publix, Alpharetta Commons has a variety of service-based and internet-resistant tenants including Sports Clips, T -Mobile, nail salon, dry cleaners, a liquor store and food and beverage outlets.

“The service-based and restaurant tenant sales are seeing a spike in overall traffic as restrictions are easing and customers are more comfortable with frequenting these businesses now that they have the vaccine,” Fryman said.

This is the second Atlanta metro area grocery-

Making a difference together Brought to you by Village Park In our retirement years, we gain even more time and opportunity to walk in purpose and give back to our greater community. At Village Park Senior Living, our neighborhoods are active communities that provide continued involvement with the surrounding area. Through engaging experiences and resident-led organizations, we facilitate camaraderie essential to social, mental, and physical health. Whether it pertains to community outreach, finding fellowship, or celebrating milestones, residents at all three of our locations work together with Village Park team members to create the activities and events they desire.

Many activities extend beyond Village Park’s communities and have poured into supporting their surrounding townships. Earlier this month, residents of Village Park Peachtree Corners celebrated local heroes with a special drive-by parade and breakfast. Schools, family members, and various organizations from the Peachtree Corners area honored first responders and civil service members by donating goodies, making signs, and lining the sidewalks with cheer.

Serving the greater area begins with the friendships

built within Village Park communities. Residents moving into Village Park can look forward to building long-lasting relationships with their neighbors through various clubs and activities. Thespians at Village Park Milton often gather to pursue their acting craft by rehearsing and performing their favorite plays. The sounds of Shakespeare have brought many residents together and given them the opportunity to express their creativity through dynamic roles. Down the road at Village Park Alpharetta, residents lead a daily devotional group that provides fellowship and support to one another. Neighbors come together every morning and share various stories of loved ones and provide motivation for their peers.

These clubs and activities cultivate friendships that impact residents, team members, and those they serve.

Not only do residents and Village Park team members often come together to provide community outreach, but to create memorable experiences for one another. Last month, the Resident Council and Activities Department at Village Park Alpharetta joined together to celebrate a milestone for their neighbor. Everybody helped transform the dining hall into a party venue for Ms. Alice Lovelace’s 101st birthday. It was a memorable experience for everybody involved.

Self-Advocacy and second opinions Brought to you by - Premier Dermatology and Mohs of Atlanta Second opinions can be invaluable. A study by the Mayo Clinic found that a diagnosis was changed or discovered in 21% of patients seeking a second opinion, and nearly 66% of all patients seeking a second opinion had their diagnosis refined.

Receiving care for the wrong diagnosis or, more often, not receiving care for an undiagnosed issue can be life altering or sometimes even prove deadly.

Recently, a surprising number of patients have told me about experiences when their own initiative or a second opinion proved to be lifesaving. One patient was told that an incidental finding of low platelets (thrombocytopenia) was dismissed by his first physician as likely of little consequence. This patient sought a second opinion, and a bone marrow biopsy identified leukemia and led to treatment.

Another patient’s doctor told her that a mass could be watched and that since imaging was not necessary, it would not be covered by insurance. She paid out of her own pocket for a CT scan that identified the cancer that she suspected she had. Multiple other patients shared similar stories. And whereas this may come as a shock to some, it is, sadly, not surprising to me. Physicians are not infallible. I genuinely believe that patients should be their own advocate. Good physicians support their patients seeking additional professional opinions. In fact, my patients and I share similar stories because a second (fifth actually) opinion saved the life – or more accurately the quality and course of life – of my son: I count my blessings that my wife holds to her convictions and advocates for our family. Multiple “second” opinions at her insistence saved my oldest child from a lifetime of developmental struggles and unnecessary deafness. Our oldest effectively stopped talking at about 14 months old.

He never had a diagnosed or suspected ear infection. And although he would eventually turn towards us when we called his name, my wife was convinced that he could not hear. She took him to multiple pediatricians and was repeatedly dismissed with the counsel that “boys will be boys” and “not everyone is a talker.” These were board-certified, well-trained physicians. Over the course of a year, his speech deteriorated from a dozen words at 14 months to only 2 words at 2 years old. A pediatric ENT, an audiologist and another pediatrician examined him and suggested autism, but when asked, they could not support their conclusions convincingly.

The diagnosis just didn’t fit, as there were no other symptoms of autism.

Finally, at our second pediatric ENT and audiology appointment, the audiologist determined that the way sound waves bounced back from his ear drums was

not consistent with open, air-filled middle ears. Dr. Matthew Whitley (Pediatric Ear Nose and Throat of Atlanta) scheduled an appointment to place tubes in his ear drums and explore further. Shortly into the surgery, Dr. Whitley discovered that my son had “glue ear,” which is when a glue-like semisolid forms behind the ear drum. Our son could hear sounds, which explains how he passed his first hearing test at one year old, but sounds were heard as if underwater, and he could not differentiate between many sounds which made speech unintelligible. Dr. Whitley inserted tubes, removed the glue-like material from our son’s middle ear and restored his hearing. Within one week our son went from speaking two words to twenty words.

We were informed that in a case such as our son’s, it would likely have taken years for the glue ear to resolve on its own. Had we stuck with our first, second, third, or fourth opinion, our son would have been severely affected by deafness (and thus speech) during critical developmental years.

Mohs surgery is a method of curing skin cancer by removing small pieces of tissue and checking the edges under the microscope until clear, cancer-free margins are obtained. Mohs surgery has the highest cure rate (usually 99%) of any procedure for the most common skin cancers and is considered the gold standard treatment for skin cancer on the head and neck.

Physicians have an obligation to present patients with the most reasonable treatment options, even when that treatment option is not available in their own practice. I sleep well at night knowing that I genuinely give my patients treatment that I would not necessarily pick for myself. My job is to present facts and to be a guide but not to choose for my patients. Just today, I saw a patient who was referred to me for Mohs surgery of a basal cell carcinoma on the lower edge of the nose. We reviewed his treatment options together.

He had never considered radiation therapy until I presented it as an alternative to Mohs surgery, and ultimately radiation therapy is what he selected. Likewise, I occasionally have patients referred to me for Mohs surgery who select imiquimod cream instead of surgery after I present it as a treatment option for certain types of basal cell carcinoma. When non-surgical options exist, it is a surgeon’s responsibility to help educate a patient about treatment options worth considering.

The providers at Premier Dermatology believe in second opinions and in patient advocacy. I, along with Kathryn Filipek, PA-C, strive to truly listen to our patients and empower them to seek second opinions and alternative courses of treatment.

At Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta, whether we are your first or second (or fifth!) opinion, we make you and your family our priority.

A critique on a useless cleaning device

JOE PARKER

Editor joe@appenmedia.com

In this rendition of “Consumer Advice You Didn’t Request,” I will outline why the Swiffer mop/Wet Jet is perhaps the most useless cleaning device on the market today.

Yes, I have previously been awarded for investigative journalism, and I’m

coming at you with more hard-hitting stories today.

My wife and I recently listed our home for sale, which involves mopping the floors approximately every 17 minutes. During this process I have found that the Swiffer Wet Jet is only a good product if you are looking to change the location of dirt and dust from one section of floor to another while simultaneously making your floors extremely wet.

And don’t bother avoiding walking through a room because you’ve

“mopped” with a Swiffer. In fact, absolutely walk over them, because rubbing a wet foot across your hardwood, vinyl or tile floors after they have been “Swiffer-ed” is actually more effective at cleaning your floors than using the Wet Jet. That’s because dirt and grime will actually stick to a wet foot, whereas a Swiffer pad just likes to take it for a quick ride from, say, under the kitchen table to a more prominent place, like the middle of your living room.

The tagline of “Stop cleaning, start Swiffering” even implies that by using a Swiffer, you are, in fact, not cleaning.

Hey, at least they’re honest.

And it’s not even particularly easy to use.

Just slap on a pad, press a button to spray some floral-scented mop juice and have at it sounds easy enough, but there’s more to it than that.

I am a man of average height, but when using a Swiffer, I have to adopt a position that could also be used to tie someone else’s shoes. Showing plumber’s crack is guaranteed.

Using any bit of elbow grease while Swiffering, which we have already established makes no difference, causes the mop’s pole to bend. My model now looks

more like a fishhook than a cleaning device.

And sure, a conventional mop gets grimy, greasy a generally nasty after being used, but that also shows that grime, grease and schmutz was actually transferred from the floor to the mop head, whereas a Swiffer pad seemingly just has a chemical that makes the pad change colors to imply it actually did something other than relocate dirt.

But that’s not how things are portrayed on Swiffer commercials.

No, Swiffer ads show their product erasing the most colorful of messes by people that seem to really, seriously, enjoy mopping. These ads could be the modern-day equivalent to the “This is your brain on drugs” commercials.

Do you dance around, smiling giddily and show hardcore satisfaction from mopping despite the fact you aren’t actually cleaning anything? This is your brain on drugs.

And can I have some? Because any drug that makes cleaning you floors a joy should absolutely be legal and readily available. That’s especially true when I’m attempting to “mop” approximately 56 times a day and could use a nice pick-me-up.

The lure of greenways You hear a lot about greenways these days – and for good reason too.

Just what, exactly, is a greenway?

Most dictionaries define greenways as linear, strip-like stretches of relativeSTEVE HUDSON ly undeveloped land Get Outside Georgia, which are there for aa4bw@comcast.net recreation (mostly hiking and biking) or for environmental protection.

They’re usually urban, mostly paved and often follow creeks or traverse other ecologically interesting terrain.

For urban adventurers, what’s not to

love?

Over the years, I’ve become especially fond of greenways. Close to home, I’ve spent untold hours walking on the Big Creek Greenway, which more or less follows Big Creek. I think I’ve walked or biked just about the whole thing at one time or another.

There’s still a gap in the middle, but they’re working on that. It’ll be great when the connection is complete.

Another greenway I’ve been enjoying these last few years is the Noonday Creek Trail which follows (you guessed it) Noonday Creek over near Woodstock. Ellie the resident mini Schnauser is especially fond of this one because it provides access to Woofstock, which is (in her words) “bark-bark-

bark-bark-BARK!!!” If you don’t speak Dog, that means “a really cool place for dogs to RUN!!!”

Those two get a lot of my greenway time. But there’s another greenwaytype trail that I’ve been getting to know, and that’s the Suwanee Creek Trail.

This one, over in Gwinnett County, is just far enough off my usual beaten track that it slipped under my radar for a long time. We really are creatures of habit, aren’t we?

But the other day I was looking for somewhere new to do some walking. I did a little searching, and the Suwanee Creek Trail came up. It looked promising, so off I went.

I started at the Suwanee Creek Park end of the trail. This access is located off Buford Highway a half a mile or so south of McGinnis Ferry Road.

Besides being the beginning of the trail, it’s also the site of a neat disk golf course. That’s something else I’m playing with, though I am unbelievably terrible at it. But I have fun.

On this trip, though, I was hiking.

I parked the trusty gray truck, put on the walking shoes, and set off down the paved trail to see what I would see.

The trail meanders down toward Suwanee Creek and then turns to follow the creek.

For the first leg of this adventure, I hiked from Suwanee Creek Park to the McGinnis Ferry access point. The trail actually goes underneath McGinnis Ferry Road, so there’s no need to risk life and limb trying to cross that busy

thoroughfare.

But once you’ve passed under the roadway, how do you regain the trail? That, as it turned out, was a bit confusing. Eventually, I found myself standing with another hiker at the trail map trying to figure it out. He too was trying to decide how to continue beyond that point. Eventually we discovered that the secret was to follow the trail under McGinnis Ferry Road and then continue along the paved trail to a parking area. Once there, make your way from the parking area to a wide paved sidewalk along McGinnis Ferry Road, then cross the creek on the sidewalk via the McGinnis Ferry Road bridge, and then (once across the bridge) turn left to pick up the trail.

It’s easy once you know how, but it’s confusing till you figure it out.

From that point, the trail zigzags down the side of a hill and then continues to follow the creek, rising and falling as it goes. At one point you’re far above the creek as it flows along sedately a long ways below you. The view is great, and you may want to linger.

But I’d used up a lot of my lingering time trying to figure out how to regain the trail, so I kept moving. In fact, I didn’t have time left to finish the whole trail as I’d hoped. I only made it as far as the Martin Farm Park trail access before I had to turn back toward the truck and then head home to supper.

How was it? Supper was great. You should have come by – we had plenty!

Oh – of course, you mean the trail.

Like I said, I love greenway trails, especially if they’re shaded like lots

OPINION

Hudson:

AppenMedia.com/Johns_Creek | Johns Creek Herald | May 27, 2021 | 21

Continued from Page 20 of this one is. That’s something to appreciate more and more as we move toward summer.

I also appreciated the boardwalk sections, which have always been a favorite trail feature. Boardwalks often cross wetlands, areas rich in wildlife, and you can bet I’ll be carrying binoculars on future excursions.

There’s one other neat feature worth noting– a tiny little covered-type trail bridge not far from McGinnis Ferry Road. The bridge carries you over a tiny creek and was an unexpected surprise.

It’s always nice to find new places, and this one was definitely in the newto-me category. I’m looking forward to checking out the rest of it – maybe Solution starting this very afternoon!
