PUBLIC SAFETY

Johns Creek Police Chief to be investigated

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The City of Johns Creek announced June 15 that Police Chief Chris Byers had been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.

Byers drew criticism for a post on his personal Facebook page criticizing local pastors for their support of the Black Lives Matter movement, which, he said, glorifies the killing of police.

The public comment section of the June 15 council meeting included several calls for Byers to resign or be fired.

Johns Creek City Manager Ed Densmore said in a statement that the decision to open the internal investigation was made after conversations with community members, police officers and city staff and that the probe will look into BYERS allegations unrelated to his social media post.

In opening remarks to the City Council, Mayor Mike Bodker said that while he is grateful for the wide range of racial and ethnic diversity in Johns Creek, the

challenges of the health crisis, economic uncertainty and racial injustice have left the city in need of repair.

“Our community is hurt, hurting from what is happening here in Johns Creek and hurting from what is happening across our nation,” Bodker said.

Police Maj. Roland Castro has been appointed to serve as interim head of the Police Department.

Byers had only held the position of police chief since late March, after the city’s first police chief Ed Densmore was appointed city manage. Byers has been with the department since 2008.

Fulton County commissioners approve police conduct, hate crime legislation FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — At their June 17 meeting, Fulton County commissioners unanimously approved legislation to establish enhanced penalties for hate crimes.

The ordinance, sponsored by District 2 Commissioner Bob Ellis, calls for criminals who target victims based on race, color, creed, age, religion, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, or national origin to face up to 60 days in jail and up to a $1,000 fine.

“Fulton County is a very diverse county, and that diversity represents our strength,” Ellis said. “It is well documented that hate crimes can have a heavy, negative impact on communities.

As such, they deserve higher attention and penalties. While the state of Georgia is presently discussing passage of hate crimes legislation, and I am hopeful that this passes soon, counties and municipalities have an important opportunity to also lend their voice and take action with specific ordinances of their own.”

A hate crime is defined as an offense

such as disorderly conduct or vandalism with an added element of bias or prejudice, causing it to inflict greater individual or societal harm. The hate crimes legislation would be enforced in the unincorporated area of Fulton County.

Ellis noted the legislation closely mirrors an ordinance passed by Sandy Springs. The legislation also calls on the Fulton County Police Department to collect data concerning hart crimes and provide that information to the FBI. In a separate action, commissioners approved legislation requiring officers working for the county’s three law enforcement agencies — Fulton County Police, Fulton County Marshals and the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office — to avoid the use of neck restraints and deadly force against suspects.

The legislation also calls on officers to report incidents of police misconduct they witness. The ordinances were proposed by Commissioner Marvin Arrington, Jr. and co-sponsored by Commissioners Natalie Hall, Ellis and Joe Carn.

“Recent events in our nation as well as right here in our community have highlighted the need to provide clear guidelines to our officers about the behavior we expect from them during the course of their jobs,” Arrington said.

“While we need police to protect and defend our communities, we also insist upon accountability on those who take the oath to protect and serve.”

The legislation calls on law enforcement agencies to create policies, training, practices and a culture which support the de-escalation of the use of force. The legislation goes on to suggest that “the use of deadly force be limited to only those situations where a suspect has committed or is in the process of committing a felony involving the infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical injury or death; and the escape of the suspect would pose an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.”

The agencies are also urged to refrain from use of chokeholds. Any use of this technique by a county officer would be thoroughly investigated, and if they violate the letter or spirit of the law, would result in punishment up to and including termination of employment, recommendation of loss of law enforcement certification and reporting of potential criminal activity to the Fulton County District Attorney. None of these three Fulton County agencies had a policy on chokeholds prior to this legislation.

The legislation also seeks to encourage cities in Fulton County to adopt similar measures regarding the actions of their law enforcement officers and calls on the Georgia General Assembly to enact laws dealing with deadly force, neck restraints and police misconduct.

Council approves Medlock Bridge shopping center redevelopment

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — For the first time since the COVID-19 shutdown, the Johns Creek City Council heard a slew of zoning and development matters at its June 15 meeting.

Because virtual meetings have made public hearings challenging, some of these proposals had been on hold for months.

The biggest item on the agenda was redevelopment of the Medlock Bridge Shopping Center, which the council approved in a 6-1 vote.

The site sits in front of the Medlock Bridge subdivision and across the street from St Ives. The owners proposed building an additional 20,600 square feet of office space and 21,800 square feet of commercial space.

The plans also call for aesthetic updates to the existing shops and restaurants, new green space, and a more village center feel.

“This is truly a redevelopment and a transformation of the existing site,” said Melody Glouton, the attorney representing the applicant. “Medlock Partners has invested a significant amount of resources into the revitalization of this proposed site.”

Traditional malls and big boxanchored shopping centers have been struggling across the country. In their place, mixed-use villages that bring shopping, dining, office space and sometimes residences together in a walkable area are a growing trend, with developments like Avalon, Halcyon and Alpharetta City Center becoming hot destinations in North Atlanta.

Johns Creek’s 2018 Comprehensive Plan identified redevelopment of shopping centers with high vacancy rates as a key objective. The developers say their plan aligns with that vision.

One resident spoke in favor of the application: Tim Jennette, a Johns Creek business leader and former Planning Commission member.

“It looked really, really cool 30 years ago, but times have changed,” Jennette said. “This application and the proposed renovations to it will bring the center into the architectural trends of today. It will turn it into a center where you want to get out of your car and walk around.”

Another resident, Tom Corrigan, spoke in opposition to the proposal, asking the council to place additional restrictions on the developer to mitigate stormwater runoff. This is the first major project to be subject to Johns Creek’s new stormwater regulations.

The council spent the better part of an hour asking questions of the development’s engineer and city staff on what stormwater infrastructure would be put in place and how its effectiveness would be measured.

“If it stands as it is now, the detention pond will not be improved,” Councilman John Bradberry said. “The first 1 inch of rain will not be filtered into the ground. To me this is a giant leap forward.”

Ultimately, the majority of the council supported the proposal, with Councilwoman Stephanie Endres opposed.

Endres cited a lack of trust that the stormwater requirements would be followed through.

The council was set to hear another shopping center revitalization proposal, for 10820 Abbotts Bridge Road, but it granted the applicant’s request to withdraw.

In Johns Creek, it his harder for a developer to reapply if their application has been rejected rather than withdrawn. Historically, the City Council has rarely allowed withdrawals after a proposal has been before the Planning Commission, as was the case with the Abbotts Bridge property.

However, because of the circumstances brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, the council was inclined to

be more lenient, with the exception of Councilman Lenny Zaprowski who voted against withdrawal.

“I do believe the situation with COVID has dramatically changed tenants, rent payments, and capital outlays, so I am going to support this one,” Endres said.

The council also approved a proposal to build a 1,500-square-foot Regions Bank in the parking lot of the Target on State Bridge Road, amended the city’s zoning ordinance to create a definition for breweries, and revised the Comprehensive Plan to widen the area of the Town Center Master Plan.

The 2018 Comprehensive Plan identified Technology Park as the site for a future town center. As the city begins to create a master plan for making the town center a reality, it has expanded the area under study to include the block north of Technology Park between East Johns Creek Crossing and McGinnis Ferry Road and the plot east of Johns Creek Parkway, currently home to State Farm offices.

Some council members expressed concern that widening the footprint of the study would be seen as an inventation for higher density and more residential units. However, the decision ultimately passed unanimously.

Cities add extra precautions when opening pools

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com NORTH ATLANTA — With summer in full swing, several area cities have opened their pools to the public, but with an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, governments are taking extra steps to ensure the safety of their residents.

COVID-19 is not thought to spread through pools, hot tubs or water playgrounds that are disinfected properly, according to the CDC. Nevertheless, the CDC has published safety guidelines for aquatic centers, including neighborhood pools and water parks, that most local governments are following to minimize the risk. Some of the guidelines emphasize following current general safety protocol, such

as frequent hand washing, disinfecting commonly touched surfaces, wearing face masks when possible and staying home when sick.

Additional steps include limiting pool capacity and increased signage with safety tips.

With months of isolation and interrupted routines, Roswell Communications Specialist Jennifer Morrow said many residents are searching for a sense of normalcy.

“With such a chaotic start to the season, the public is eager to return to normal summer activities such as aquatic recreation,” she said. “We hope that increased safety precautions will allow people to remain healthy while still enjoying the activities they look forward to all year.”

CITY OF MILTON/SPECIAL

Milton residents enjoy the city’s pool, which reopened late May with additional rules for public health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Roswell opened its pool at Roswell Area Park on June 15, and officials are anticipating opening additional aquatic facilities later this summer.

The Roswell Area Park pool has implemented a number of additional rules in response to the pandemic, including limiting parties to less than 10 people, closing the toddler pool, enforcing social distancing and cancelling any pool-related special events.

Last year, Roswell staff counted more than 8,500 visits to the city’s pools.

Neighboring city Milton has likewise added a number of rules to follow recommendations offered by the Georgia Department of Health, Fulton County, the CDC and national pool associations.

The Milton pool’s capacity is approximately 240 people, according to Communications Director Greg Botelho. But for health concerns, Milton is now limiting the capacity to 50 people to comply with social distancing standards.

Johns Creek interior designer pursues retail dreams

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Christi Holcombe, a Johns Creek resident and former HGTV star, recently opened her own interior design and home goods store in the city.

Holcombe says opening her own retail shop has been a dream for years.

In college, her studies focused on retail design, she said, but her career path led her to mostly residential work.

“I’ve always loved walking into a design shop and dreaming about what mine would be like one day,” she said. “We found a perfect spot, and the timing seemed to be great for my husband to come work with me, so we took a leap of faith.”

Her husband, Billy Holcombe, is a marketing veteran and partner with her on the store. Their family moved to Johns Creek about six years ago and have grown to love the community, she said.

“When it came time to open a shop, we knew we wanted to be here,” Christi Holcombe said. “Not somewhere intown, not even on the other side of 400 in Roswell. We wanted to make sure we kept everything local.”

When Cristi was growing up, her parents had a custom countertop and cabinetry shop. She said at the time she considered their work more construction

For three years, Holcombe worked for HGTV on the Emmy-award-winning show “Elbow Room” as a production designer. than design, but in hindsight she realizes it laid the foundation for her future career.

Cristi launched her own interior design firm, Cristi Holcombe Interiors, in 2009 and it has since grown into one of the top full-service design firms in the North Atlanta community, offering turnkey design services for residential homes and light commercial projects.

For three years, Holcombe worked for Home and Garden Television on the Emmy-award-winning show “Elbow Room” as a production designer.

“I thought I was going to be on camera and just do a little bit of design work, but I was so overly involved, in a good way,” she said. “With the production side of things, I really learned so much about what makes everything work. It really helped to see all the ins and outs of construction, budget planning and spatial planning.”

Those multi-tasking skills serve Holcombe well as a small-business owner and now retail manager, she said.

CH Home is located at 3005 Old Alabama Rd, Suite 310. The approximately 2,300 square foot space features items handpicked by Holcombe reflecting her personal design style: classic and colorful, with a modern twist.

Holcombe said her store is casual and approachable, like some large furniture stores, but with the curated taste of a designer. She intends to cater to a wide range of needs and price points: from those looking to pick up a candle or small gift before heading to a party, to those looking to remodel their entire home.

Opening a design store in the middle of a pandemic has been a challenge and required a lot of last-minute adjustment, Holcombe said, but she is still excited and proud to see her longtime dream come true.

“Sometimes shopping is therapy,” she said. “Whether it’s a clothing shop or a design shop, sometimes you just like to go in those shores because they give you a feeling. Whether you’re buying something or just looking to get inspired, the stores you walk out of feeling good are the ones you want come back to.

I’m really hoping that our store has that feeling for people.”

Loyal customers, operational changes carry restaurant through crisis

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic has hit the restaurant industry particularly hard, but one local restaurateur has weathered the storm better than most.

While many restaurants closed their doors and others had to furlough or lay off all but a bare-bones staff, Fry Me 2 the Moon has operated through the pandemic and kept all workers on its payroll.

The seafood restaurant, located on Ga. 9 near the border of Alpharetta and Forsyth County, has been in operation since 2014. As the pandemic began gaining a foothold in Georgia, it disrupted one of the restaurant’s busiest times of the year — Lent.

“Being a seafood restaurant, Lent season is typically very busy for us,” owner Mike Miranda said. “It helps us get through summer, and we kind of rely on that extra income those seven weeks leading up to Easter.”

Roswell resident named interim president of Hispanic Chamber ATLANTA — Roswell resident Gabriel Vaca has been named the new interim president of the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Vaca will take on his new position on July 1. His predecessor, Santiago Marquez, left to become the new executive director of the Latin American Association.

“We are very happy for Santiago and know that he will continue to be an outstanding leader for our Hispanic

The pandemic took hold during the early stages of Lent, and it made an impact, Miranda said.

He and his staff responded to the decline in sales and eventual closure of dining rooms in a number of ways.

The first was to drastically reduce the menu.

“We took the opportunity to see what items weren’t performing well on our menu,” Miranda said. “So instead of having that cost and inventory, we said, ‘When those are done, let’s not order them until we’re back on our feet.’”

The trimmed menu was key to cutting costs. Being a smaller restaurant to begin with was also advantageous for staying afloat during the pandemic, Miranda added.

“We are not a chain, a franchise or a place that has 150 seats,” he said. “And we don’t have 35 to 40 employees, so we didn’t have an extra 30 waiters or so to furlough. That was huge and an advantage of being smaller.”

In fact, the restaurant has recently hired a few new employees.

There was a drawback with Fry Me 2 the Moon’s size, however. Recent limits on the number of patrons allowed in restaurants at one time left just over a dozen seats available for those wanting dine-in service, Miranda said.

He was pleased to see Gov. Brian Kemp lift the restriction on the allowable number of patrons in his business at one time beginning June 16. Now, Miranda can welcome back all those who he said were most crucial to his restaurant surviving the economic crisis — his customers.

“We have a very loyal customer base, just about everyone wanted to come and support us,” Miranda said. “It really means a lot to a person with a local business when they see the same people again. And they were all asking if things are okay and saying they were so glad to see we’re surviving. It’s been a struggle for everybody, and their generosity and continued support of the businesses around them shows a lot of greatness from the people around here.”

Mike Miranda, owner of Fry Me 2 the Moon, stands in front of the restaurant he opened in 2014. The business has been able to pilot through the economic storm of the coronavirus pandemic without having to lay off or furlough any of its staff.

community,” said Ivan Shammas, chairman of the GHCC Board and general manager for Telemundo Atlanta.

“We’re fortunate to have Gabriel Vaca already onboard in a leadership role at the chamber and know that VACA under his direction, along with the strong team in place, the GHCC will continue to be a valuable resource for Georgia businesses. Gabe has been supporting and involved with the GHCC for over 15 years. It’s because of his guidance in the past that we have

been able to hit many important milestones with our chamber.”

Vaca joined the GHCC nearly 15 years ago, while he was an executive at UPS, and has previously served as GHCC’s board chairman. Before UPS, Vaca was a small business owner.

Shammas said Vaca has been an integral part of growing and transforming the chamber and has been working closely with the outgoing president the past two years.

One of Vaca’s first priorities as the interim president will be to focus on resilience and recovery from the pandemic.

He will continue to help local businesses with providing information, resources

and grants as well as formally launching the Avanzar program.

Vaca has also received statewide recognition by the Secretary of State as an “Outstanding Georgia Citizen” for his work in helping Hispanic businesses in Georgia.

He was born in Mexico City, raised in Washington, D.C. and has a degree in business administration from the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana.

“I want to reassure the GHCC’s members and sponsors that we will have a smooth transition,” Vaca said. “The chamber is as strong as it has ever been, and we are creating many opportunities for businesses.”

An interview with Premier Dermatology’s newest provider: Kathryn Filipek, PA-C Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta recently welcomed certified Physician Assistant Kathryn Filipek (PA-C) to the practice. Having visited Premier Dermatology on several occasions, I have become quite FILIPEK familiar with the staff and was thus excited to interview the newest addition. Like all of her Premier Dermatology coworkers, Kathryn exudes warmth, genuine happiness and compassion. Her excitement for dermatology in palpable. The following is an expert of our interview: Maggie Mullvain: What do you like most about being a dermatology PA? Kathryn: I love the ability to establish interactive relationships with patients and their families. In almost 20 years of practicing Dermatology, I have been honored to treat entire families, all the way from infantile eczema to young children with warts, older siblings with teenage acne, parents with hair loss or seeking cosmetic maintenance, and grandparents with rashes or skin cancer.

I feel very privileged that families trust me to care for them and allow me to be a part of their “medical family”. It’s a thrill for me to see children who I treated for a mole or a rash return after they graduate from college and tell me about their new careers.

Maggie: What is your favorite area within dermatology?

Kathryn: Honestly, I have a difficult time answering that. Dermatology is ever changing. New discoveries, technologies, and treatments revolutionize how we think about skin care and how we treat patients. When I began working in dermatology, Botox had just been approved and was injected into only a few places. We had collagen fillers that too frequently could cause allergic reactions. Our lasers were the size of a kitchen stove and were limited in their energy output. Now we have new laser, injectable and cosmetic treatments that yield astounding results. Not to mention all the new medications that we have for acne, the “biologics” for psoriasis and eczema, and the modern skin cancer and vein treatments available. It really is hard to choose. The fact that each interaction with patients is so different and the results so meaningful and satisfying whether we are working on a medical, surgical or cosmetic problem means that I have to say I have several favorites.

Maggie: So the fact that dermatology allows you to be so multidimensional is one of the field’s highlights?

Kathryn: Exactly! Variety and advances keep me excited about every day.

Maggie: What drew you to Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta?

Kathryn: Balance. In the first seven years of my dermatology career, I worked in a very busy practice in South Florida where I could not be the well-rounded practitioner I am today.

It was a great place to learn a lot about general dermatology and skin cancer and prepared me well in dermatology’s fundamentals, but the expectation to see too many patients in a short period made proper care challenging and spreading my wings difficult. Practicing the last several years at a busy practice in Buckhead, I gained expertise with many of dermatology’s cosmetic services and advanced technologies while staying on top of advances in medical and surgical dermatology.

While my professional life was rewarding, the commute was a challenge. One thing we all know about Atlanta is that the traffic can be a battle. I am a Milton resident and have two daughters in local high schools. When the opportunity arose to practice close to home with an excellent physician such as Dr. Taylor, it was too good to pass up.

I now enjoy the balance of a dynamic and varied work life and being close to home, with more time to spend with my husband and daughters.

Thank you Kathryn for sharing your story with us today. Congratulations on the move, and welcome home!

4 ways to stay connected when you’re apart Belmont Village Senior Living offers creative ideas for socializing safely The coronavirus pandemic has changed the daily routines of nearly every American. For most older adults, social distancing has meant staying indoors more. While keeping your distance is a necessary part of mitigating contagion, too much isolation and inactivity can lead to depression and other serious health problems.

“Keeping an appropriate and healthy physical distance and following all of the recommended protocols during a time like this is a must, but physical distance doesn’t have to mean social distance,” said Belmont Village Gerontologist Beverly Sanborn. “We’ve challenged our teams to literally think outside of the box, and they’ve absolutely amazed us with their ideas and enthusiasm.”

The team at Belmont Village Johns Creek accepted that challenge and is sharing some of the creative ways they’ve found to engage residents: Stay Connected. Belmont Village team members check in with residents

multiple times a day, but nothing is better than a call from family and friends.

It’s also an opportunity to check in on their physical activity and offer encouragement.

Do an activity together, from afar.

Many activities, such as trivia games and book clubs, can be done over video calls together and can help make us feel more connected to one another.

“Maintaining our physical well-being is as important as taking care of our minds,” said Jamila Green, Activities Program Coordinator at Belmont Village Johns Creek.

“We help residents go outside to get fresh air and exercise every day.”

Get creative with games. A fan-favorite among residents has been doorway activities with neighbors, ranging from heads up to bingo. Belmont’s staff also provides brain teasers and puzzles—time to pull out the old crossword book!

Take advantage of virtual fitness.

There are more online fitness videos for seniors to choose from than ever. Practicing both strength and aerobic exercises maintains joints and muscles.

To learn more about Belmont Village, visit www.belmontvillage.com/johnscreek or call 770-813-9505.

While socially distancing, one resident received a visit from Raggedy Ann. Staff wear costumes, along with their masks and gloves, and visit residents with treats.

BELMONT VILLAGE SALUTES AMERICAN HEROES Every Independence Day, we honor our resident veterans. As we navigate this pandemic together, your courage, sacrifice and resilience are an inspiration to us all. Our commitment to the health and happiness of all of our residents is as strong as ever.

As our community, our city and our country move forward, we are mindful of the trust you place in us to provide the highest standards in senior living for San Diego seniors and families.

Kim, Dr. Alwan and Katelyn Wellstar Emergency Medical Team

COVID-19: Making primary care a priority Before the COVID-19 outbreak, scheduling a primary care appointment never took a second thought. Now in the wake of the pandemic, many people may be skipping those important preventative care visits – and end up putting their overall health at risk.

During COVID-19 and beyond, primary care plays a major role in staying healthy, according to Wellstar health experts.

“For many people, preventative care is often the first line of defense to spot potential health risks,” said Dr. Jeffrey Tharp, Wellstar Health System Chief of Primary Care & Medicine. “It’s important for everyone to get a wellness check-up at least once a year, even if you’re feeling completely healthy.”

He continued, “Using diagnostic testing and other health screenings, your primary care physician can help identify conditions such as obesity or high blood pressure early, before they develop into more serious diseases.”

Whether you need to schedule a routine health exam or receive treatment for a chronic condition, Wellstar is working hard to protect patients and team members amid COVID-19.

“During this time, Wellstar is continuing to follow strict safety precautions to keep you safe and prevent potential infection throughout all of its facilities,” Dr. Tharp explained.

Wellstar’s Primary Care Promise From small children to busy parents and active seniors, Wellstar offers individualized treatment for each and every person.

To find the right fit for your health needs, our expert medical team: Treats the whole person. Working alongside you, our care team listens to your questions and concerns to find the best treatment options.

Delivers personalized care. Our care team takes the time to get to know you as an individual and understand your family medical history.

Uses a comprehensive approach.

Primary care allows you to take charge of your health, whether you need up-todate immunizations or help to maintain a balanced diet.

Offers continued care for chronic diseases. Find ongoing support and guidance to manage chronic health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or arthritis.

Coordinates treatment with specialists. When needed, primary care providers can refer you to other medical specialists – like cardiologists or neurologists – for treatment.

Safe Care During COVID-19 Wellstar is committed to providing the best and safest care for patients of all ages. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, all Wellstar locations have put additional measures in place to keep you and your family safe.

Legacy Center advocates launch online campaign

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — With the completion of a financial feasibility study and the launch of a new website and social media pages, the Legacy Center of Johns Creek is one step closer to becoming a reality.

At jclegacyarts.org, residents and supporters can find the latest updates and plans for a 83,000-square-foot community center and performing arts venue.

Wayne Baughman, chairman of the Legacy Center Task Force and founder and music director of the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra, says the facility is envisioned as more BAUGHMAN than a comprehensive arts venue, but also a place for community gatherings.

“It will not only be a place for the community to enjoy and participate in the complete spectrum of the arts: music, dance, visual arts and theater,” Baughman said. “It is envisioned to be a strong economic driver for both the arts and the greater community of Johns Creek.”

Thanks to the support of Fulton County Commissioner Liz Hausmann, the project is the recipient of a $250,000 county arts grant. Although the coronavirus pandemic has slowed development, the task force is beginning to ramp up its fundraising efforts.

“Many community and government leaders consider the Legacy Center to be

a top priority and potential anchor in the development of a city center for Johns Creek,” Baughman said.

The task force, made up of political leaders, arts professionals and community volunteers, considers the area around the Johns Creek City Hall as one of the optimum locations for the facility.

Plans include a professional-quality performance venue with at least 700 seats, a large rehearsal and banquet room, a new home for the Johns Creek Arts Center, gallery space in the lobby and office spaces.

“These amenities do not currently exist in the Johns Creek area and several independent studies have confirmed that they would be well-supported by the residents and businesses in and near Johns Creek,” Baughman said.

More details about these studies can be found on the website. For a steady flow of earned income, the Legacy Center would host business events and a range of local and touring concerts and shows.

“But, at its heart, it will be a place for creating, exhibiting, rehearsing, performing and teaching the arts and culture by and for the citizens of Johns Creek,” Baughman said.

The financial feasibility study notes there is currently not enough support to build a Legacy Center solely through private funding. The lack of a significant corporate presence in the city places a disproportionate financial burden on private citizens to fund a capital campaign, it says. The study recommends a significant financial commitment from the city of John Creek.

City of Johns Creek reminds community to observe river safety

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Each year Johns Creek’s Swiftwater Rescue Team, a special unit of the fire department, responds to dozens of emergencies on the Chattahoochee River.

As the temperature has risen, so has the number of people needing help on the ‘Hooch. At a June 15 council meeting, Mayor Mike Bodker took time to remind the community of basic river safety.

The city encourages people who plan on enjoying the river to call 770-9451466, or toll free at 1-855-DAM-FLOW (1-855-326-3569) to hear the release schedule for Buford Dam. The water release schedule varies day to day, and

NorthFulton.com | Johns Creek Herald | June 25, 2020 | 19

sometimes the water rises quickly and leaves people stranded.

The Johns Creek Fire Department also advises that everyone, even experienced swimmers, wear a life jacket.

The department launched the Swiftwater Rescue team in 2010. It is comprised of more than 30 Advanced Swiftwater Rescue Technicians and several operations-level trained technicians.

The team operates two rescue boats, a Special Operations Unit, and an offroad vehicle to facilitate rescues on the river. During emergency responses, the team works closely with the fire departments of Forsyth and Gwinnett counties, and the city of Roswell.

With its highly trained rescuers, Johns Creek takes pride in providing swiftwater training to other departments within the Atlanta region.

Some history doesn’t need to be celebrated During a trip to Washington, D.C. a few years ago, I traversed the National Mall to take in some of the nation’s most iconic structures.

Coming across the more than 58,000 names on the JOE PARKER Vietnam Wall was, Editor in a word, sobering. joe@appenmediagroup.com Having only seen it in pictures or video before that day, I took notice of how small the names were etched into stone. Upon that realization, the size and gravity of the wall grew exponentially.

The Washington Monument was impressive. The Lincoln Memorial was poignant. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial was striking. The World War II Memorial was remarkable.

These structures celebrate and honor those who should be celebrated and honored. Those who fought for, led and changed this country for the better.

However, if these memorials did not exist or were taken down, it would not erase the sacrifice of those who served in the armed forces and those who made the ultimate sacrifice doing so. It would not wipe from the history books the leadership, direction and great deeds of men like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. These monuments and memorials were erected to commemorate and pay tribute to these aspects of our country’s history because they are deserving of such distinction.

And if monuments are to celebrate,

commemorate and honor, those who fought for the Confederacy, led a secession from the United States and advocated for the continuance of slavery should not be memorialized.

Doing so will not, as many have argued, be “erasing history.” Tearing down a monument does not tear out pages in the book of American history.

Times change, history doesn’t. And the time has come for these celebrations of Confederates to be taken down.

It is especially true when you consider just how many of these monuments were put in place far after the initial stages of the antebellum South. Many were erected as a direct and absolute repression of black Americans.

Looking at data compiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center, there are two clear periods in which monuments dedicated to Confederates were put in place along with schools, roads and the like being named after those who kept slaves and advocated for succession.

The most prominent coincided with the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and later, another spike during the Civil Rights Movement. The latter includes the installation of the Stone Mountain monument, the location of a Klan Labor Day cross burning for decades.

With nationwide protests crying out against racism, the calls for removing monuments dedicated to Confederates have again become louder, just as they did after nine black churchgoers were slain by Dylann Roof in Charleston, S.C., with his intent to start a race war.

Sadly, some even view removing

monuments as a partisan issue. In a way, these people are arguing that their party is in the right by wanting to celebrate those who committed treason.

Sure, there are contentions that Confederates had claimed independence and weren’t traitors. By that same argument, those who declare themselves to be sovereign citizens can do whatever the heck they please on American soil.

We should not rewrite the history books, and no one is suggesting we do so in advocating for the removal of Confederate monuments. But we should not celebrate those who caused the most divisive Solution and darkest period in our nation’s history.

Residents are able to track the number of people in the pool at a time using an online tool available on city’s website.

The City of Milton was one of the first municipalities to reopen its pool.

On Memorial Day weekend, the city opened the facility following an inspection by Fulton County.

Since then, it has sold more than 275 pool passes. Last year, the city sold between 350-400 pool passes.

The City of Alpharetta reopened its Wills Park pool on June 13 with additional rules. Most notably, the city has capped the maximum capacity to 120

Temperatures will be taken before people enter. There will be no pool chairs available, and people will not be able to rent the pool pavilion.

The Cumming Aquatic Center reopened May 20 and the Competition Pool returned to normal operating hours June 1. The outdoor leisure pool came back online and group classes resumed June 16 with limits on the number of participants in each class.

The center is requiring that all guests have their temperature taken before entering and wearing facemasks is encouraged. Restrooms, showers and changing areas are now open, but lockers will not be open for use in the locker rooms.
