Thief takes Trump sign from man’s front yard JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A 62-year-old Trump supporter called 911 after thieves reportedly stole a campaign sign from his front yard on Oct. 23.

Police responded to the man’s Buice Road residence and he told them he spotted a Mazda hatchback pull into his driveway. The victim showed officers video of a teenage woman swiping a

One of the owners, a 47-year-old woman, told police the only disturbance had been when a couple dined in the eatery earlier in the day and had a dispute over the tip.

The owner said the family paid the bill and left without problems. About 30 minutes later, the threats were phoned in.

White Forsyth man draws attention to support Black cause

By TIFFANY GRIFFITH newsroom@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — Zack Arias joined thousands of other Georgians Oct. 20, waiting in line to cast an early ballot.

But it caught national attention when he was forced to wait an additional 10 minutes because of his apparel.

Arias was told he couldn’t vote because of the Black Lives Matter T-shirt he was wearing. A Sharon Springs poll worker told him the shirt made a political statement, and he was considered an activist. If Arias wanted to vote, he would have to take off the shirt.

“Black Lives Matter is not a political statement,” Arias said. “It’s a statement about humanity.”

He captured the interaction on cell phone video and noted there was a black couple waiting in line ahead of him.

“I was sitting there thinking, what

do they think that someone saying that their lives matter is getting pulled out of line,” Arias said. “I kind of wonder if he would have had the courage to tell a Black person not to wear that shirt.”

Arias said he knew he had a right to vote while wearing the shirt. He was soon addressed by what he called a second, more gracious manager, who checked the polling policies and allowed him in to vote.

The Georgia native, who is White, won’t assume why the first poll worker prevented him from voting. But once the moment went viral, Arias also dealt with criticism from his neighbors.

“I’m just standing up for my rights.

Isn’t that what everybody is saying?”

Arias said. “But then I stand up for my rights, and one lady on Nextdoor said she was going to contact the county elections office and have my vote undone. Because I wore a T-shirt she disagrees with.”

Arias won’t call Forsyth County a racist place, but he believes bigotry exists. He said there’s also a history,

Johns Creek Beautification hunts for more ‘secret garden’ homes

By KATIE ANDERSON newsroom@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Johns Creek Beautification will host the third Secret Gardens of Johns Creek Tour featuring gardens from homes in the Johns Creek Community on May 1, 2021.

This unique “secret garden” program began in 2018 and raises money through ticket sales and sponsorships for beautification projects in the city.

Johns Creek Beautification President Lynn Pennington said funds will go toward the purchase of major public art sculptures, landscape beautification projects and to benefit Daffodils 4 Hope, a massive citywide daffodil planting effort that raises awareness of cancer survivorship through a partnership with CanCare.

Chuck Wilkinson, past president of Johns Creek Beautification who helped launch the Secret Garden program, said the effort serves to raise money for beautification and helps highlight all the wonderful gardens of the city.

Pennington said the most recent project the funds have been used for is a botanical horse sculpture by Eric Strauss that will be placed at the Bell Road and Boles Road roundabout. The organization plans to use funds from upcoming garden tours to purchase more art for the city, she said.

“To really make a lovely community for everybody, it makes sense to have art,” Pennington said. “We want to help continue to increase the public art for the enjoyment of everybody, visitors as well as everyday residents.”

Johns Creek Beautification is looking for one or two more gardens to join the tour for 2021. The homes can be within

Johns Creek, or just outside the city limits. Some of the characteristics of a “secret garden” are a garden or outdoor room, water features, river views, unique yard art or hardscape, including stone walls, patios, decks or other structures.

Wilkinson and Pennington said the gardens do not need to fit a specific list of requirements and definitely do not need to be built by professional landscapers.

The garden should bring joy, they said.

“We really try to mix it up,” Wilkinson said. “Some people just want to go look and see the gorgeous, expensive gardens that are like a dream, but they know they won’t be able to do or afford. Others like the gardens that aren’t quite as over the top or elegant, but are beautiful and doable, something they could do at home.”

As with past tours, local musicians and artists will be at each home to entertain.

Pennington said the Johns Creek Art Center has connected them with local artists in the past, and there have been clay sculptors, painters and watercolorists creating art in the gardens during the tours. Also, a master gardener will be at the homes to answer any plant-related questions.

Pennington said she is confident that the event will happen, even with any lingering threat from COVID-19.

“People can socially distance in gardens,” Pennington said. “It can be conducted safely, I’m confident of that.”

Tickets will go on sale March 1 online at www.johnscreekbeautification.org.

Those interested in submitting their garden for the tour, being a sponsor of the event or volunteering can contact Lynn Pennington at lynn.pennington@ johnscreekbeautification.org or info@ johnscreekbeautification.org.

Leadership Johns Creek unveils new electronic cricket scoreboard

By KATIE ANDERSON newsroom@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Johns Creek’s Shakerag Park is now home to the first electronic cricket scoreboard in Georgia.

The display comes complements of the 2020 graduating class from Leadership Johns Creek, whose Cricket TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) held a ribboncutting at the park Oct. 24. The scoreboard served as the group’s community project.

Team leader Ginger Clopper said members picked this specific project because it promotes and celebrates the diversity of Johns Creek.

“It was important to us to bring the community together and pick something that would help unite people and celebrate the diversity in our community,” Clopper said. “We wanted something that would leave a lasting impact, something that we could leave behind for lots of people to enjoy for years to come.”

Cricket TEAM members raised more than $25,000 for the electronic scoreboard and installation of a remote controller. Clopper said funding came from corporate donors, Go Fund Me donations and a fundraising event at Emory Johns Creek Hospital. Many of the sponsors have logos placed on the

Clopper said any excess funds will be donated to the Johns Creek Cricket Association, which is supporting youth programs in middle and high schools in Johns Creek.

“We are so excited to promote youth cricket in our community,” Clopper said.

“That was part of our mission, to make

sure that we are serving the youth and getting them involved in outdoor activities.”

Clopper said TEAM members had no idea the enthusiasm and support they would get from the Johns Creek community. They received more than 300 responses on a survey about facilities for cricket at Shakerag Park. Clopper said

comments from the survey were used to prepare a report to the city to help “shape the vision” for cricket and express what the city can do moving forward.

Johns Creek Cricket Association President Shafiq Jadavji said the city has shown it is willing to help foster the sport.

“This is a testimony that they were willing to go out and not just listen to the community but actually implement what the input was,” Jadavji said. “So this is a key output of what the community wanted.”

Jadavji advocates for more cricket facilities in Johns Creek. At a Sept. 21 City Council Meeting, he expressed the need for a full-sized cricket field at the new Cauley Creek Park since the facilities at Shakerag Park are geared more toward youth players.

Members of the Cricket T.E.A.M. who worked to bring the scoreboard project to fruition include Lynette Baker, Ginger Clopper, Karen Cooke, Todd Hood, Nakia Mattis, Jake Pastore, Rama Rampur, Barbara Rollin, Peter Trench, and former Leadership Johns Creek Executive Director Kris Custis.

Shakerag Park is also home to cricket batting cages that went in last June and a cricket pitch that was completed in April. Both of these facilities are one of the first of their kind in the Southeast.

State Bridge Crossing Elementary named Blue Ribbon School

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK—State Bridge Crossing Elementary School was among a group of 47 public schools recently named a 2020 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education.

It is the only Fulton County school to earn the distinction this year, and joins eight other Georgia schools honored.

The national recognition is based on either a school’s overall academic performance or its progress in closing achieve-

Young Men’s Service League partners with local charities

By PHOEBE LIU Newsroom@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The newly painted sign at the Nicholas House says it all — “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.”

The mothers and sons of the Alpharetta Young Men’s Service League, who created the mural, have certainly been kind — even the pandemic didn’t stop the volunteer organization from serving the community through its Ultimate Gift project.

Young Men’s Service League is a national nonprofit organization that encourages high school-age men and their mothers to volunteer in their communities while growing mother-son relationships. The goal of the Ultimate Gift project is for each Young Men’s Service League chapter to partner with one charity on a one-day project that represents a major offering to their community.

This month, the league’s Alpharetta chapter partnered with two local charities — the Nicholas House and Meals by Grace — for its Ultimate Gift. More than 200 moms and sons in the Alpharetta Young Men’s Service League spent Oct.

24 performing external repairs on the Nicholas House, a local homeless shelter. The following weekend, the group volunteered at the free meal delivery program Meals by Grace.

“It’s an organization coming together on a concentrated effort with our 200plus members going to a facility and making a big transformation, something only 200 people could do,” said Rebecca Reed, Ultimate Gift Committee chairwoman for Alpharetta Young Men’s Service League.

Planning for the two projects has been ongoing for several months, Reed said. The chapter engaged the philanthropies as well as their neighbors, sponsors and donors — all while observing COVID-19 safety protocols.

Reed said the chapter dedicated its Ultimate Gift to the Nicholas House and Meals by Grace because they were “amazing organizations” with a track record of success in their missions. The Nicholas House provides shelter for more than 600 homeless parents and children every year, with an emphasis on keeping families together.

We’re trying to bring a slice of Italy to Atlanta. So I want people to be able to enjoy that without having to travel.

BASSET ELARBI, owner, Café de Bono 6 | Johns Creek Herald | November 5, 2020

‘A slice of Italy’: Café serves up authentic Italian culture at new bistro

By MATT BRUCE news@appenmediagroup.com

Cafe de Bono

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The scent of freshly baked pepperoni and focaccia bread welcomes you as you enter. You’re quickly greeted by a Vespa, the iconic Italian motorized scooter, showcased near the front door.

The serenade of Mediterranean folk music spills out to the outdoor patio.

Portraits and paintings hanging inside conjure imagery of Venetian canals, Roman courtyards, cobblestoned Bologna back alleys and scenic row houses in Tuscany.

If the walls inside Café de Bono could speak, they would sing an Italian ballad.

The family-owned café became the newest addition to Alpharetta’s Watercrest Village shopping plaza along North Main Street in June. The eatery is steeped in traditional Italian heritage.

That’s by design.

Basset Elarbi is Café de Bono’s guiding force. The menu includes soups, salads, pastries, Italian coffee, espresso and light meals like paninis, piadinis, pizza, Italian croissants, authentic mozzarella and parmesan. From the food to the music and décor, Elarbi intends to create the atmosphere for an authentic Italian experience.

“I want to bring the Italian feel to this place, so it will be unique in that sense,” he said. “People can come here to feel that culture. We’re trying to bring a slice of Italy to Atlanta. So I want people to be able to enjoy that without having to travel.”

Elarbi is a native of Tripoli, Libya, a picturesque seafront city just across the Mediterranean from Sicily.

Italy colonized Libya in 1911 and laid

Closed Sunday (678) 404-7704 www.cafedebono.com stake to the North African country until 1947. Elarbi grew up in the capital city at a time when the nation was reckoning with its reclaimed independence.

During the colonization period and even after World War II, Italians continued to immigrate to his homeland en masse.

Elarbi was immersed in Italian culture as a child and said he became fascinated with the architecture, fashion, flowery language and elegance of his neighboring nation.

“It grows with you and becomes a part of you,” Elarbi said. “The Italian culture was really an attractive culture.

The language, the music, the taste, the food, the sense of design. Everything.

‘Dulce vida’ they call it in Italian: it means ‘sweet life.’

“This is exactly the reflection of that,” he added. “I would not be able to design something like this if I did not grow up there.”

That sentiment is apparent even in Cafe de Bono’s moniker. Elarbi named the restaurant after Galleria de Bono, a historic Tripoli shopping mall built as a scaled down version of the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II plaza in Milan.

“I wanted the Italian-Libyan connection because I am Tripolitanian, Libyan,” he said. “So I said what can I do to bring

both of them together.”

Elarbi emigrated to the United States and spent decades living in Texas.

But after longtime Libyan dictator Col. Muammar Gaddafi was killed and his regime was overthrown in 2011, Elarbi and his family returned home to help rebuild their homeland. They spent seven years in Libya, but instability and increasing violence forced the family to flee and return to U.S. soil.

They moved to North Atlanta in 2018,

and Elarbi decided to fulfill his lifelong dream of opening a restaurant. It was a dream borne from his years working in fine dining restaurants overseas as a college student.

But the timing of his decision to chase his dream presented an unforeseen hurdle. Construction of Café de Bono began early this year, before COVID-19 forced shutdowns that crippled restaurants nationwide. By the time the pandemic hit, they’d invested too much time and money into the business to turn back.

The Italian café opened June 5, as Georgia’s second wave of the contagion set in.

By the time Gov. Brian Kemp lifted statewide restrictions and allowed restaurants to fully reopen, several of the surrounding shops in the Watercrest Village plaza had shut down. On top of that, customers were leery about dining at the unfamiliar café because of the pandemic.

Both impacted the business. Elarbi said his family was forced to spend their rainy-day contingency in the first few months just to stay afloat.

“Before the coronavirus, we had a good reputation,” Elarbi said of the plaza. “I used to talk to people during construction. The shopping center itself was a good source of business. But some of the shops closed.”

But customers have started to take notice and are trickling in more regularly. Elarbi is considering adding a breakfast menu and expanding hours to attract more business. All in all, the goal remains the same: to offer the area a unique blend of Italian culture.

“This place has its own character,” he said. “It’s a touch of classic Italy, with a modern touch.”

Protecting Your Power Bill from a Cable Industry Hike Eighty-two years ago, Sawnee Electric Membership Corporation (Sawnee EMC) began providing a “service” to individuals who lacked access to a basic life necessity, electricity. Community members came together and pooled their resources to create Sawnee and other Georgia EMCs to meet this need and get power out to rural areas that did not have it.

The transformational effect of receiving electric service in the 1930’s and 1940’s was nothing short of a “miracle.” Sawnee’s service area is now far from rural. We serve approximately 185,000 member-owners in Forsyth, Cherokee, Dawson, Fulton, Gwinnett, Lumpkin, and Hall counties.

You should know that a debate is currently underway at the Georgia Public Service Commission about the rental rates that cable companies pay EMCs for the use of their poles. These for-profit, national cable companies have the ability to deliver broadband across Georgia at existing pole attachment rates. However, they have made a conscious business decision not to do so; putting “profits” over “people.” They hide behind the false narrative that the Georgia EMCs’ pole attachment rental rate is “THE” impediment to broadband (rates that these very cable companies negotiated and agreed upon). We all know this is false, and not the reason “why” Georgia has large areas with no broadband. People and need drive expansion, not pole rates.

Georgia EMCs get the revenue required to operate their cooperative from their member-owners. Through paying their monthly electric bills, members fund everything they do, including providing the poles that the cable companies use, enjoy, and from which they derive their profits.

In their effort to avoid paying their fair share of the costs of using our poles, the for-profit, national cable companies are asking the Public Service Commission to force EMCs to give them a discount; thus taking money out of the pockets of our hard-working member-owners.

Placing the added burden of giving for-profit cable entities higher profit margins at the expense of Georgia’s EMC customers across the state will not promote the deployment of broadband. Rather, reducing pole attachment rates will only serve to line the pockets of cable companies who do not live, work or support the communities where the EMCs of Georgia serve. Sawnee EMC is here to protect your power bill from this cable industry hike.

Sincerely, Michael A. Goodroe President and CEO, Sawnee EMC

by Grace, which serves Forsyth County children and their families who are in need and have limited or unreliable transportation.

Meals by Grace cofounder Stephen Daniels said the Young Men’s Service League chapter volunteered to clean and help replenish the food pantry, replace deteriorating plastic shelving, and create healthy recipe cards and signage that promotes healthy eating.

Daniels said the Young Men’s Service League is a regular partner and that its members are “the epitome of what a volunteer should be.”

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 “show-ready” 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 condominium-quality 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.

Focused on home …

Brought to you by — Dana Voulopos, Interior Designer, Tuscany Fine Furnishings

W

e are all adjusting to the new normal. Staying safe at home has never been more important.

We are focused on our homes more than ever before. Covid-19 has forced us inside to reevaluate the way we use our homes. With so many families working from home the most immediate need is the home office. We are creating organized well lit home offices that get the job done while looking great too. “Zoom” has opened up our homes for everyone to see causing us to be more attuned to the flaws in our homes, realizing it’s time to update or address the issues we’ve been overlooking. Whether it is doing the kitchen renovation that’s been put off for years or replacing the sofa that is old and worn, now is the time.

During this pandemic, we have become more anxious and uncertain. We long for calm and comforting surroundings. I love helping my clients discover fresh new looks for their homes, focusing on both function and form. Bringing in colors and textures that mimic nature is encouraged, giving my clients a sense of reassurance and comfort. Sometimes it’s as simple as rearranging the furniture, moving furniture from one room to another or changing the way we use a room. Turning the once formal dining room into a home office or study for the kids to do their schoolwork is an excellent option. The Master Bedroom, once forgotten, is now a sought after sanctuary. With our families having so much together time it’s nice to have a place to

escape to. An oasis that is there for you to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Make it reflect just how important you are.

So, whether you are starting from scratch on a new home or working on your existing home I am here to help.

Top 3 tips when selling & buying your next home

By ANDREA CUENY Ansley Atlanta Real Estate

Recently I experienced the sell-buy-move process first-hand.

As a seasoned Realtor®, I thought I had this process mastered.

Little did I know, I was CUENY in for some perspective.

Although I work closely with my clients throughout their buying and selling process, to experience the emotional and physical challenges myself was eye-opening. With my fresh perspective as a buyer and seller, I wanted to share my top tips for ensuring your next move goes smoothly.

1. Rely on professionals. As an agent, I’m often the go-to resource for my clients. But I also rely on other professionals to bring each transaction to a successful close, such as lenders, home inspectors, and closing attorneys. If possible, work with one closing attorney to close both your sale and purchase.

We worked with Campbell & Brannon to close both our sale and purchase, and it helped streamline the process of preparing for closing. I also enlisted Order

By Kate to help us with unpacking and organizing closets in our new home.

Amid the chaos of moving, mom-ing, and running a business, this service was a game changer. If you don’t have the resources to hire a professional mover or organizer, enlist your family and friends. Moving takes a village, so get your village ready.

2. Prepare for inspections. Most buyers know that a home inspection is a critical step in the purchase process.

It’s worth understanding the types of inspections and the importance of each, and a good agent will help educate you.

For example, the importance of a final walkthrough inspection, even for new construction, to ensure the property is in the condition you expect before you

sign. And sellers don’t always realize that they too should be proactive when it comes to inspections. I like to provide a pre-market preparation list for my sellers that includes items like having a seasonal HVAC service, changing burned-out light bulbs, and addressing plumbing leaks. Lastly, be sure to schedule all inspections, including the final walkthrough, with as much communication as possible.

3. Make Logistics a priority. It may seem sensible to wait to schedule movers or utility transfers until you feel that

moving is most certain. However, moving companies are often booked months in advance, even in a normal market. In a pandemic market, this can be even more of an issue with increased logistical challenges and decreased staff. Interview moving companies well ahead of time,and be sure to discuss contingency plans for weather and closing delays.

On moving day, you are the director of operations, and the more organized you are, the less stressful it will be.

The day after our move I remember sitting in my living room amid the

moving boxes, as a Realtor®, my personal move took a lot of work, planning, and coordination. Of course everything works out and you get unpacked, but believe me when I tell you ‘I’ve been there.’ This year my team will help over a hundred clients buy and sell homes, and we have been a trusted resource to make the process smooth and enjoyable for nearly two decades. I hope these tips are helpful to you. For more information and a list of our recommended vendors and resources, visit us at thecuenyteam. com. Good luck with your next move!

This Dominant Kitchen Cabinet Trend Brought to you by — Remodeling Expo Center When you go shopping for kitchen cabinets there literally are hundreds of door styles and colors to choose from, but the plain truth is that over 90% of all cabinets sold are shaker style and the majority of them are white. White cabinets are the dominant cabinet trend and its been this way for a decade now. Why is this?

Stay with me, here. While other cabinet fads come and go, white is a beloved classic for a reason. It’s versatile, it lets the beauty of your millwork show through (whether traditional, shakerinspired, or minimalist and modern), and it’s incredibly easy to live with for years to come. A quick swap of hardware or a new backsplash, and boom—your kitchen looks brand new again.

“Like a black dress for a lady or a white button down shirt for a man; white cabinets are an incredibly versatile basis and can be “accessorized” with additional elements like flooring, counters, backsplash, to take on dramatically different looks, from traditional to minimalist to modern”, says John Hogan owner of Remodeling Expo Center. “Our designers create white cabinet kitchens with such different personalities. It’s amazing!”

Some of the most popular and beautiful accessory elements being installed today are: a bright marbleized or veined countertop of quartz or quartzite, complementing perimeter cabinets with a differ-

While other cabinet fads come and go, white is a beloved classic for a reason. ent color island – a striking navy blue or a soft dove gray, expressing your personality with a bold colored backsplash in a interesting herringbone pattern, using expressive cabinet hardware – matte black for drama or satin nickel for sophistication, extending the cabinets to the ceiling to enlarge the room and achieve a grand appearance, incorporating some glass doors on the cabinets to display collectables and fine wine glasses, or using interesting angles in the hood above the cooktop and staggering cabinet heights to create interest for the eye.

Kitchen expert John Hogan concludes “If you think shaker or white cabinets are boring, then you just haven’t engaged the right designer yet! It takes careful thought of all the elements in a kitchen to create a million dollar look”. Any realtor will tell you, beautifully designed kitchens with white cabinets, make it easy to sell a home.

1. Declutter and Downsize This is a wonderful task for any time you move, but with more people staying at home or limiting their time outside of the home, you may have more time than ever to sort through your belongings.

Decluttering and downsizing will save you both time and money because you will not have to move items you do not need.

2. Explore Virtual Options Our clients’ safety is our top priority. At Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty, there are many ways to explore home options digitally, including virtual open houses and tours, Matterport 3D scans, high-quality photography and videography as well as our Drive Time™ tool, which allows you to approximate your commute time from a given listing. Additionally, our agents offer digital communication and secure services for contracts, wiring and more.

3. Do a Financial Assessment With the current state of our national economy and stock market, financial insecurity is a reality for many Americans. Make sure you assess your income throughout the coming months, your credit and cash capacity as well as your savings. By doing so, you will have a better grasp on the homes that fit within your budget.

4. Search for Great Deals One positive aspect of economic uncertainty is that there can be great

Racism: Continued from Page 2 noting the county’s infamous 1987 appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show for excluding Black people from the community.

“I’ve grown up knowing that Forsyth County is a sundown county,” Arias said, meaning you didn’t want to be out after dark if you are a person of color.

He also admits to his own racist behavior in the past.

“I grew up here in the South, and you make ethnic jokes and use ethnic slurs, and get a laugh out of people,” Arias said. “I grew up with family that would say, ‘Well you know, them Black people’ this or that. And, ‘You can’t really trust what a Black person says.’”

Arias said he, like many Whites, took issue with the rise in discussion over “White privilege.”

“I had that very first White, knee-jerk reaction of, ‘I’m not privileged. I’ve worked hard for everything. No one’s giving me anything because I’m White,’” Arias said.

He began doing research online to add his argument to the socio-economic debate. Instead, Arias came across Dixon White on YouTube, who he described as a White redneck who sat in his truck and explained White privilege.

“What hurt at that moment was, I’d heard all of these arguments before, but it took a White man to tell me,” Arias said. “It took a White man for me to understand it and take it to heart.”

For Arias, the work has already begun to realize his own privilege and understand the difficulties minorities face.

“I want people to see me at the grocery store and say, ‘There’s a White dude that’s not against me. He’s a neighbor
