By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The primary elections are fast approaching.

On June 9, Fulton County residents will be able to vote for a slew of federal, state and local candidates. Those who claim a party affiliation will have the option to vote on party-specific questions: six for Democrats and three for Republicans.

Democrat party questions cover a variety of issues, including climate change, environmental protections, voter rights and registration, and the cash bail system. There is also a question on whether Georgia should have an independent commission to draw district lines instead of politicians.

Republican party questions cover expansion of educational options and whether voting in the Republican primary should be limited to registered Republicans. Voters will also be asked if board of education candidates should be required to declare their political party.

Here is a rundown of candidates and races on the ballot: U.S. Senate Incumbent Sen. David Perdue is uncontested on the Republican ticket.

Several Democratic candidates will compete to challenge him in the fall. One candidate is running as a Libertarian.

• Sen. David Perdue (incumbent, R) • James Knox (D) • Teresa Pike Tomlinson (D) • Sarah Riggs Amico (D) • Marckeith DeJesus (D) • Tricia Carpenter McCracken (D) • Jon Ossoff (D) • Maya Dillard Smith (D) • Shane Hazel (Libertarian) U.S. Senate For the seat occupied by Sen. Kelly Loeffler, there will be no vote on June 9. Instead, a nonpartisan primary will be held Nov. 3. There are 21 candidates who qualified for the race — six Repub-

licans, eight Democrats, four independents and one Libertarian, one from the Green Party and one write-in.

All candidates will appear on the same ballot, and if no candidate receives a majority, there will be a runoff between the top two finishers on Jan. 5, 2021.

U.S. House Several Republicans qualified to challenge incumbent Rep. Lucy McBath, including former Rep. Karen Handel.

McBath, a Democrat, unseated Handel in 2018.

• Mykel Barthelemy (R) • Karen Handel (R) • Blake Harbin (R) • Joe Profit (R) • Paulette Smith (R) • Lucy McBath (D)

of Johns Creek, Incumbent Democrat Rep. Angelika Kausche will face former City Councilman Jay Lin on the Republican ticket.

District 51 includes the area south of Old Alabama Road and west of Barnwell Road. Incumbent Democrat Rep. Josh McLaurin will compete against Republican Alex Kaufman.

In District 95, which includes a small section of the city south of Old Alabama and east of Barnwell, Incumbent Democrat Rep. Beth Moore will face Republican Erica McCurdy.

Fulton County School Board (Non-partisan) In District 1, which covers much of west Roswell, incumbent Katha Stuart is unopposed.

State Senate In District 56, incumbent Republican State Sen. John Albers is running with no opposition in the primary. This fall, he will face Democrat Sarah Beeson, who is also unopposed in the primary.

District 56 includes Roswell, southern portions of Alpharetta and Milton, and roughly the area west of Jones Bridge Road in Johns Creek.

For District 48, which includes the eastern side of Johns Creek, State Sen. Zahra Karinshak is not seeking reelection to run for the U.S. House in the 7th district. Matt Reeves will be running on the Republican ticket, while two Democrats are competing to face him.

Feeling Safe in the “New Normal” At Milan Eye Center, the safety and welfare of our patients, team members, and community remains our top priority amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. As we carefully open back up, it will look a bit different around our offices, but we want to assure you as the patient that we are here to take care of and protect you from COVID-19.

To add even more protection, we have installed individual air purifiers in all waiting areas, exam rooms, and surgery centers. The IQ Air purification system is the only Hyper High-efficiency Particulate Air or HyperHEPA filtration system to remove ultrafine particles down to 0.003 microns in size with 99.5% efficiency.

Milan Eye Center has implemented the following safety protocols and procedures as we begin to reopen our clinics and surgery centers for patient care. These guidelines were developed in accordance with Georgia state orders, the Center for Disease Control, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services guidelines.

This is 100 times smaller than what is achieved with ordinary HEPA purifiers. More importantly, the IQ Air filtration system traps particles 10x smaller than a virus, including the coronavirus.

Produced by Swiss engineers, each certified unit uses mechanical filtration to capture pollutants and microbes and clean the air without any harmful byproducts.

Just as a house requires a strong foundation, we want to ensure all patients are safe and comfortable from the moment they call to make an appointment. To do this, a member of our customer care team will confirm and conduct a pre-screening questionnaire to assess any risk factors or answer questions you may have prior to stepping foot into our facilities. All patients will then receive detailed information via text and email where they can complete all necessary forms and paperwork to participate in our new virtual check-in process. This will help to reduce the time spent waiting inside the clinic and abide by all social distancing guidelines.

As we gradually open our in-person services, our providers will continue to offer virtual telemedicine visits for non-vision threatening conditions and will conduct online patient webinars to better help educate and prepare patients prior to their appointment.

Upon arrival, we will require all patients to wear a cloth face covering or mask throughout their entire appointment. Everyone will have their temperature checked and history will be taken to ensure no one has experienced any symptoms of COVID-19. In order to maintain social distancing, the chairs in our waiting area will be spaced at least six feet apart and throughout the visit, isolation and social distancing protocols will be upheld. We have also added protective guards and germ shields throughout our clinic within check-in areas and exam rooms to better protect against the transmission of germs.

The world may be opening and changing but our commitment to your vision remains the same.

We want our environment to be as safe and healthy as possible as we care about you and your eyes and will be here to serve you once you are ready!

SERVICES WE OFFER: • Bladeless Cataract Surgery • LASIK/PRK • Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) Surgery • Clear Lens Exchange

Our staff and providers will undergo a self assessment and have their temperatures checked daily upon entering the clinic or surgery center and will wear KN95 masks and additional personal protective equipment to further protect themselves and others.

• Glaucoma Evaluation/Management • Corneal Transplant • Pterygium Surgery • Functional and Cosmetic Oculofacial Surgery

• Orbital & Reconstructive Surgery • Diabetic Eye Examination • Dry Eye Management • Corneal Crosslinking

Designated team members will help clean and disinfect all high trafficked areas several times throughout each day to ensure sanitation guidelines are upheld. Examination and treatment rooms, equipment, and surfaces will also be cleaned with germicidal or disinfectant wipes before and after each patient is seen.

Our air conditioning systems will have advanced technology purification products to help treat the air as it passes through to help kill any possible microbes and viruses. GreenTech Environmental’s proprietary photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) technology generates powerful oxidizers that deactivate and kill microbes, such as bacteria and viruses, and render contaminants harmless. This will allow for continuous sanitization of the air and disinfection of surfaces in our clinics and surgery centers in a safe manner.

State legislators host town hall on state budget Johns Creek reopens additional park facilities June 1

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — When legislators return to the Gold Dome mid-June, they will have to pass a budget for the upcoming fiscal year that addresses the shortfall caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Record high unemployment, sharp drops in consumer spending and entire industries forced to shut down overnight have created an unprecedented problem for the state’s finances.

To help the public make sense of the impending challenges, state representatives Angelika Kausche and Josh McLaurin hosted a virtual town hall May 28, along with Danny Kanso, an analyst from the independent, nonpartisan think tank The Georgia Budget and Policy Institute.

Kausche represents District 50 which includes most of Johns Creek.

McLaurin represents District 51 which includes parts of Sandy Springs and southwest Johns Creek. Both were elected in 2018 and are Democrats.

Gov. Brian Kemp’s budget office has asked departments to prepare to cut 14 percent from expenditures to make up for revenue shortfalls, the Atlanta Journal Constitution recently reported.

McLaurin and Kausche encouraged residents to reach out their legislators if they had specific concerns about the budget, saying public input played a big role in stopping certain budget cuts earlier this spring.

At the town hall, Kanso’s main message, summarizing the recommendations of the GBPI, was that the state should not see broad budget slashing as its main tool to save the state’s finances.

“We are not going to cut our way out of the pandemic,” he said.

Deep cuts to education, health and the safety net would prolong the path to recovery, Kanso argued. By raising the tobacco tax average and rolling back certain tax breaks, the state could raise revenue and offset the need for budget cuts.

Georgia currently has the second lowest tobacco tax in the nation, $0.37 cents per pack. If Georgia raised the tax by $1.50, bringing it in line with the national average, and applied the tax to e-cigarettes and vaping products, the Georgia Budget and Policy institute estimates it could increase revenues by around $600 million a year.

McLaurin pointed out that a decrease in smoking could also reduce the state’s spending on Medicaid and other public health initiatives.

Georgia spends about $3.18 billion a year on medical costs associated with cigarette smoking, the policy institute reported.

McLaurin and other Democrats were pushing to raise the tobacco tax before the pandemic, but polling shows bipartisan appeal. A 2018 poll by the GBPI and a recent poll by the American Heart Association both showed around three-quarters of Georgians support the change.

McLaurin and Kausche encouraged residents to reach out their legislators if they had specific concerns about the budget, saying public input played a big role in stopping certain budget cuts earlier this spring.

Kausche can be reached at angelika. kausche@house.ga.gov and McLaurin at josh.mclaurin@house.ga.gov.

Fulton County plans gradual facilities reopening

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County has laid out a plan to gradually reopen its facilities through the beginning of July, provided the county continues to meet public health benchmarks.

The reopening plan began May 18 with the Peachtree Street Tax Assessor’s office opening to staff. Phase 2 of reopening took affect June 1 with most departments in Fulton County’s main Pryor Street building opening in some capacity.

Phase 3, tentatively scheduled for June 15, will open Behavioral Health, Tax Assessor and Tax Commissioner offices to the public. This is also the date some court service will resume.

Phase 4, currently set for July 1, will reopen the remaining Pryor Street offices, all public works locations and six of the county’s libraries. The final stage, which has no set date at this time, will reopen all libraries, senior centers, arts centers and the Wolf Creek Amphitheater.

The reopening schedule could be delayed if the county does not continue to meet its public health benchmarks for declining cases, testing ability and protective equipment.

The time between each phase of the reopening is used to clean and sanitize offices, put up signage and additional safety equipment, and test employees for COVID-19.

For a list of county services offered online and department specific reopening information, visit fultoncountyga. gov/.

Testing COVID-19 testing is now available to all residents regardless of symptoms or risk factors. Fulton County and community partners are offering free COVID-19 testing at locations throughout the county. For a list of locations, visit fultoncountyga.gov/covid19testing.

Courts The statewide judicial emergency is set to expire June 12. The Fulton County Magistrate Court will begin previously

scheduled landlord-tenant and garnishment calendars on June 22. For more information, visit magistratefulton.org.

The courthouse has been sanitized and additional protective barriers have been installed. All visitors are encouraged to cover their mouth and nose with a mask, scarf or bandana.

In-person access to the Probate Court will continue to be limited through June 12. Expect delays in processing Probate Court filings. Some services, including weapons carry licenses and group wedding ceremonies, have been suspended indefinitely.

Law enforcement The Marshal of Fulton County resumed civil services on May 26. The service date of all items served during the judicial emergency will be June 13, 2020.

By agreement of the Marshal and Chief Magistrate Judge, writ service will begin within 45 days of the issuance of the order, on July 6. Direct questions should be sent to FCMarshal@fultoncountyga.gov.

Vehicle registration The renewal date for all vehicles registrations that expire between March 15 and June 13 has been extended through June 15. To renew vehicle registration, pay insurance fines, reapply for tag and registrations or change address online, visit eservices.drives.ga.gov.

Library Although libraries will be among the last county facilities to reopen, residents can access digital library resources at fulcolibrary.org, including e-books, audiobooks, movies, virtual events and online tutoring.

Residents who do not currently have a library card can apply for one online and have a temporary library card issued. All recently “expired” or “expiring soon” library cards have automatically been extended to allow full access to library resources for patrons.

Library staff is online and ready to answer questions Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. through the Ask A Librarian service.

Fulton School leaders navigate safe reopening of classrooms

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@northfulton.com NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The school year for Fulton students ended with students learning from home, seniors graduating in drive thru celebrations and uncertainty over what school will look like come August.

A spokesman for Fulton County Schools confirmed the district is still on track to open on Aug. 10, with an expected enrollment of more than 93,000 students and 12,000 staff members.

However, classrooms and student interaction will likely look different.

Fulton Schools Superintendent Mike Looney said system leaders are huddling this summer to determine how schools, post COVID and potentially pre-second wave, can operate safely.

“As we transition from this crisis and reactionary planning, our attention is turning toward the long-term steps necessary to plan for the future.” Looney said.

He outlined three phases the district will go through over the next two months: close out the current year, transition and recovery over the summer, and prepare for reopening in the fall.

Last month the CDC published guidelines for safely re-opening schools which categorized risks and recommendations as children return in the fall.

The federal agency emphasized the information was guidance, and not directives.

Among the CDC recommendations are limiting gathering in “communal” spaces, such as cafeterias and playgrounds, using facemasks as needed and particularly for older staff members, encourag-

ing people to stay home when sick, and resuming sporting events with caution.

A spokesman for Fulton Schools said the district is following CDC, state and county public health guidelines for safety of employees during the summer, and it will adjust those practices as it moves through the summer. Summer school in June had already been planned as virtual instruction.

“With the constant evolution of inperson standards, we will continue to monitor the CDC’s guidance for students for the potential of returning to in-person instruction for [July summer school], and as we get closer to the first day of school,” said Brian Noyes, communication director for the school district.

Gov. Brian Kemp also recognized the need for an organized re-opening of the state’s 181 public school districts. He, along with State School Superintendent Richard Woods, created six K-12 Restart Working Groups to look at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the districts, and to help plan for a safe 2020-21 school year.

Among the 72 members of the working groups are five Fulton County School employees — the most of any of the state’s school districts. They include: Alyssia Wright, executive director of Food and Nutrition Operations; ·Chelsea Montgomery, executive director of Counseling, Psychological & Social Work Services; Amy Barger, assistant superintendent of Teaching and Learning; Emergency Operations Director Paul Hildreth; and Barnwell Elementary teacher Allison Townsend who was the 2019 Georgia Teacher of the Year.

The CDC asks the public to stick to parks that are close to their home, stay at least 6 feet away from others while enjoying the greenspace, wash hands often and cover coughs and sneezes.

Organized activities and crowded parks should still be avoided. Do not visit parks if you are sick or were recently exposed to COVID-19.

Business leaders explore details of federal loan programs Small businesses obligated to keep up with regulations

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The smart play for small businesses affected by the economic downturn is to pursue opportunities provided through the Small Business Administration’s expanded loan programs.

That’s the word from a group of area bankers and business experts speaking at a special North Fulton Banking Forum May 28. The online forum, arranged through the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, featured advice to small business from key leaders in banking and business.

Most of the focus was on the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program, which was set up to provide more than $650 billion in loans to help small businesses keep their employees during the crisis. The most popular feature of the program is that the total loan is forgivable if applied correctly.

Danielle Cheung, senior vice president and market executive for Metro Atlanta Business Banking at Bank of America, said small businesses must be careful to follow provisions of the PPP to have their loans forgiven.

Bank of America has made approximately 19,000 loans in Georgia, providing just under a billion dollars in funding, she said. Most of those loans, 98 percent, went to companies with fewer than 100 employees — 81 percent to companies with fewer than 10 employees.

“We continue to take applications, and we know how important the PPP is to the businesses,” Cheung said.

Unprecedented time for business Right now, Cheung said, Bank of America is assessing its entire client credit portfolio.

“We’ve been through other recessions before where businesses have been impacted, CHEUNG but we’ve never really been in a situation like this where businesses are closed,” she said.

“Businesses are facing challenges that they’ve never faced before.”

The most important thing a business can do is remain in contact with its financial DAVIS partners, she said. That means communicating everything — good or bad, she said.

“Even if they’re not hearing all that positive news, at least they know that you are acknowledging the issues in your business,” Cheung said.

Banks are interested in whether clients have dealt with downturns in the past and how the business is handling current staffing. Staffing and pay information is a vital part of qualifying for loan forgiveness under the PPP program, she said.

Andrew Bell, vice president of Business Development with Affinity Bank, said guidance for PPP loan forgiveness has been adjusted over the past few weeks. In general, he said, businesses must take special care to document salary expenses because 75 percent of these loans must be applied to maintaining the workforce.

Local business survey A group including economic development officials from North Fulton cities, the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce and Select Fulton have been surveying area businesses to gauge the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on their operations. Here is a look at some of the findings: • 60 percent reported their business have remained open • 54 percent reported temporary layoffs • 72 percent reported lost customers as their largest factor hindering the restart of operations During the eight-week time frame the loan covers, Bell said employers must recognize limits on salaries. Non-payroll expenses, such as rent, utilities and internet, cannot exceed 25 percent of the total loan, he added.

Bell warned there are some practices that could reduce the amount eligible for forgiveness.

First, loan proceeds must be spent, he said.

“You’re only eligible for what you spend, and the remaining portion — whatever wasn’t used — there’ll be a balance on the loan,” he said.

Another element that could disqualify a PPP recipient for forgiveness is a reduction in full-time employees or more than a 25 percent reduction in salary or wages. Employers must be careful to follow guidelines for maintaining the proper levels for each, he said, and maintaining good records is key.

Other programs to consider Anna Brumby, a consultant with the Small Business Development Center at Georgia State, discussed two other SBA loan programs small businesses may want to consider.

The 7(a) Loan Program is the SBA’s primary assistance package to small businesses. Brumby said current loans now carry a six-month deferment. The 7(a) loan program is tailored for startups and for businesses seeking to expand, she said. New loans also carry a sixmonth deferment if the loan closes before Sept. 27, 2020.

The SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loans, or EIDL, has run out of funding, but the agency is still processing applications made before the money ran out.

EIDL was formed to help businesses stay afloat during the current crisis.

Loans carry a 3.75 interest rate over 30 years. The loans are based solely on credit scores, Brumby said.

Companies with high credit scores who were turned down can appeal, Brumby said, but it is a lengthy process.

Ken Davis, president for the Georgia Region at Renasant Bank, said the sudden sweep of the coronavirus pandemic caught everyone off guard. He said recovery needs to be viewed over the long term, and it will not occur with a blanket fix nationwide.

“Each market’s got its own challenges, and it’s going to be a long road till we get back to whatever this ‘forward normal’ [is],” he said. “I think it’s important, as individuals, as owners, as husbands, wives, grandparents — we take care of our own health as well because we’re going to have to be in this for the long haul.”

Expires: 6/30/2020 Expires: 6/30/2020

Every day we see their faces in news stories on TV or in images on social media. We laud them for their bravery. Politicians argue over where they should go and who they should help. They are the physicians on the frontlines of a crisis.

The perception is that doctors should be perfect. They should know all the answers and the right treatments for this new disease the world has never seen.

They shouldn’t complain — after all, don’t they have fancy houses and nice cars?

The truth is physicians didn’t get into medicine for salary or prestige. They wanted to help people. They feel the pressure of a nation looking to them for guidance during a scary time. They celebrate their patients who recover, and they feel the deep loss of the patients who don’t.

At Jackson & Coker, we speak to thousands of physicians each year, seeking to understand their pain points, their challenges, their career dreams. We conducted a survey of our physicians to ask how they’re doing during this crisis and gain insight into how coronavirus has affected them.

The responses were eye-opening — and at times, heartbreaking — to read.

Doctors feel the same anxieties, financial burdens, worries about family, uncertainties for the future that we all do. But they feel all this with the added pressure of being looked upon to be a hero when they may not feel especially heroic.

“We are heroes in our community and lepers at home,” one physician responded in our survey. Many are in direct contact with COVID-19 patients and must self-quarantine away from family and

friends for weeks or months at a time. As we heard time and again in the survey, “The weight of knowing that if my family members get ill with this virus, it will be directly attributable to me is a burden I would not wish on an enemy.”

Many of us forget that physicians take on an average of $200,000 in student loan debt to be able to help people. Physicians face long hours and being away from their families. They are suffering from shuttered clinical offices and are faced with forgoing their own salary and bills to keep paying their administrative staff.

When you see a physician, know that behind the mask, behind the determination to help patients, behind the heroism is a person just like you. So, what can we as average citizens do to help the doctors who need us just as much as we need them?

For one, we as individuals need to be accountable for our health. That means forgoing the party with friends where you can’t social distance. That means quit smoking if your doctor tells you to. That means doing all we can to stay healthy and reduce burden on the physicians who must care for us if we get sick.

If you do get sick, isolate yourself.

Don’t walk right into the doctor’s office and risk well patients and staff who are in the building. Call your doctor first and follow the correct protocols.

Keep up the words of support, the delivered meals, the thank you notes.

One of our doctors said: “Kids leaving positive messages written with colorful chalk. People are just more aware of each other. That seems different...I realized how much I missed that and how much that means to all of us. A sense of connection...The message is you see me, and you actually know me.”

I challenge you to see the humanity in the medical professionals who serve you. I challenge you to get to know them on a personal level. I challenge you to be accountable for the role you play in keeping your community healthy.

All of us — including doctors — are in this together.

Tim Fischer is president at Jackson & Coker, one of the nation’s largest healthcare staffing firms and headquartered in Alpharetta.

What to expect in a pandemic real estate market

By MELANIE COLLINS Ansley Atlanta Real Estate | Collins Collective As doors reopen to businesses and institutions around the country, many buyers and sellers are considering opening doors of their own. While the pandemic shuttered schools and businesses temporarily, the real estate market didn’t seem to get the memo. Ansley Atlanta Real Estate reported a 46% increase in pending sales year over year for March, as housing inventory and mortgage rates remained historically low. Agents reported normal Spring market activity, in a world that was anything but normal.

As restrictions continue to lift, those who might have postponed their plans to move for health or economic reasons are beginning to revisit their options. Here’s what you can expect if you are planning to make a move this season.

Prices are still increasing As the pandemic arrived, consumers were sure they heard opportunity knocking in the form of softening prices, but this turned out to be wishful thinking as low mortgage rates and sparse home inventory fueled multiple bids and quick contracts throughout March and April.

Careful preparation is essential to avoid losing out or stressing out in a multiple

bid situation.

Be represented. A professional agent will watch the market carefully, checking stats daily and staying in close contact with other agents to get a jump on new listings for their clients.

Be ready. Sellers are requiring more proof that a buyer is serious before allowing showings. Have a pre-qualification letter from a reputable lender (or

proof of funds from your bank for a cash purchase) prepared in advance. You may need to provide this documentation just to see a property, and certainly before offering on one.

Be realistic. Your agent will guide you on prices for your market and advise you when there is opportunity for a discount but be prepared to pay asking price in especially competitive areas.

Buyers are informed Even in a seller’s market, flawless presentation and pricing accuracy are still paramount to success, whether your goal is a swift sale, record-breaking sale price, or both. The pandemic didn’t have a dampening effect on prices as some predicted, and it is still possible to get top dollar for your listing by taking important steps to prepare.

Presentation matters. Online searches continue to dominate the landscape of home buying, especially now. Insist on professional real estate photography and a marketing plan with a strategy for engaging buyers viewing your listing online.

Price accurately. Your agent will provide you with a pricing strategy tailored to your listing and market. While market conditions determine the final sale price, the closer you list to that price, the more likelihood of selling at or close to full asking price. And waiting for your ideal price, if above market value, typically backfires, resulting in a lower sale price and costly time on the market.

Getting the best results in any market requires careful preparation and realistic expectations. An important step is hiring the right representation early in the process, as soon as you begin contemplating a move.

List your home and live stress-free We know how stressful the last few months have been for everyone, especially if you were planning on listing your home, or had just listed it, and are now wondering what to do. We’ve talked to several people who are nervous about having strangers walk through their house while it’s on the market, and EVOQ Town Flats of Johns Creek has a great solution that can help calm your nerves.

At EVOQ Town Flats, we offer lease terms as short as 3 months so you can list your house, and move into a beautiful, new, never-occupied flat while your house is on the market. Not only do you not have to worry about people walking through your home while you live there, but you also don’t have to worry about keeping it “showready” while trying to live your life.

Evoq Town Flats was conceived as a luxury rental option for the 55+ market unlike anything currently on the market. Our goal was to provide condominiumquality rentals with a boutique feel and resort-level amenities, including a self-serve Tap Room with beer & wine selections, saltwater pool, concierge services, two Guest Suites for friends and family, even Peloton bikes and On-Demand Fitness. In addition, knowing the level of luxury our residents are coming from, we put just as much detail into the flats, offering 23 unique floor plans which include spacious 5-piece master bath suites, stainless appliances including 5-burner gas ranges, 11’ ceilings, even a wine-refrigerator in select floor plans.

Call us today at 770-869-2785 or visit us online at www.evoqliving.com to see why leasing at EVOQ Town Flats is your best option for stress-free living.

Covid-19 design changes to our homes I think we all realize that we’re slowly exiting the Covid-19 crisis, and as we do, we can start looking back and taking inventory of what we experienced and what got accomplished. As we reflect, we’re all wondering how things will be different in the post pandemic world.

Will we remain physically distanced?

Will large gatherings ever happen again?

While some people choose to “nest”, the pandemic forced us all to do it… the entire family… for long periods of time.

It brought families closer together and it also forced us all to really focus on our homes. People quickly became restless, and as evidenced by the increased traffic and big box home improvement stores, homeowners turned their attention to their homes; to repair and improve them.

“We saw an immediate increate in requests for design time with our designers, and the rate of remodeling proposals slowly increased through the pandemic” says John Hogan, owner of Remodeling Expo Center. “Almost daily, we received calls from homeowners who previously didn’t move forward with the work, but now they wanted to move forward fast.

Everyone was working from home and now they had the time to focus on that project that they’ve been thinking about for years” Covid-19 inspired changes to the home “Remodeling Expo Center prepares

While our country RAWLINGS is practicing social distancing and quarantine methods, you may have realized that your home needs a few updates. These five home projects will not only entertain you while you’re at home, but they will also improve your living space and allow you to enjoy it even more. From spring cleaning to rearranging furniture, you can amplify your home in no time.

1. Take spring cleaning to a new level Start by moving top to bottom, cleaning walls, windows, crown molding, baseboards and more. If you have any pieces that are washable, such as curtains, take the time to do that now!

Also, be sure to dust and clean hardto-reach places like shelves, drawers and blinds. Improve your air quality by investing in a new HVAC filter, if you haven’t changed it in a while, and using a vacuum to remove dust and dirt from vents.

2. Rearrange furniture If you need an easy and affordable refresh, rearranging the furniture is one of the quickest, most feasible ways to do so! Analyze different rooms in your home, and then determine how you can declutter and maximize the space efficiently. For example, you could switch artwork between rooms, use different pieces for other purposes such as a side table serving as a plant stand, organize books and other items by color or size and more. Get creative!

3. Swap out arrangements Many of us have extra linens, pillows, rugs and blankets that we may not use most of the time. Swap out your current arrangements with these items to give a new look and design to your home.

You can use pieces you already have or browse online for an item you would love to introduce to your space.

4. Upgrade your yard You will love summer days spent outdoors in an upgraded yard! Now that flowers and grasses have bloomed, you can clean up your yard to make it truly

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Light always illuminates darkness (a response to the keyboard expert) If the coronavirus has shown us anything, it’s that there are far more “journalists” who are medical experts than we could have imagined. Especially if you consider the recent opinion articles in the Johns Creek Herald, along with pretty much anything coming from CNN, it seems that more and more “journalists” are experts on not just the virus, but apparently everything — and they’re more knowledgeable than everyone other than the single source they decide to cite.

In their eyes, doctors can’t have differences of opinion. It’s their medical professional’s view, or you’re not a medical professional, similar to Joe Biden’s statement that blacks must vote Democrat, otherwise “you ain’t black.”

These “reporters of truth” label anything contrary to their fearmongering agenda as conspiratorial, racist and evil because they know that if the people are presented with the truth and empowered to make their own decisions, they won’t fall for these fear tactics. They have turned independent business owners and families into dependents of government support. And worse yet, anyone who dares voice an opposing perspective is cruelly labeled and lumped into a basket of deplorables with

anyone else who disagrees.

That’s because they only see their side of the coin and close their eyes to the way the majority of America has been greatly impacted by this virus. The hardworking citizens forced to upend their lives and shuffle into the unemployment line know a hell of a lot more about it than a “twit” “journalist” hiding behind a keyboard.

If these journalists can look into the eyes of the millions of Americans whose lives have been devastated and stand by the material they’re publishing, then “they are unbelievably callous.” And it goes without saying, they’re “damn sure” not a “journalist.”
