Burglar removes tools from resident’s barn MILTON, Ga. — A Milton resident said burglars made off with around $1,500 worth of power tools from his barn recently. The homeowner told police that when he arrived home Jan. 8 a rear door on his barn was ajar and two weed eaters and two chainsaws were missing. The victim said the barn doors do not lock and are easy to open. Police found a palm print on a birdcage and took it as evidence to be processed.

Milton seeks third greenspace purchase By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton’s effort to safeguard undeveloped lands took another step forward Jan. 7 when the City Council entered a contractual period for its third Greenspace Bond land acquisition. The city entered a 90-day due diligence period to reach a final decision on the purchase of 21 acres at Freemanville Road and Birmingham Road. During that time, the city will conduct a land survey and environmental assessment on the property. The potential acquisition from Residential and Commercial Equities comes with a price tag of $1.4 million, or about $66,000 per acre. That’s about twice the peracre price of the city’s prior land greenspace acquisitions. In 2016 Fulton County appraised the land value at just over $2 million.

In a presentation to the council, Public Works Director Carter Lucas said the land meets the requirements of a Greenspace Bond purchase and is a mixture of pasture, wildlife and woodland areas adjacent to a highly visible intersection. Councilwoman Laura Bentley endorsed the city’s pursuing the property. “In my opinion this is a very buildable piece of land, yielding 16 homes if it was further subdivided,” Bentley said. “It’s in the viewshed and it’s very visible. I think it’s a great opportunity for the community.” The purchase would be the third land acquisition under the Greenspace Bond passed by Milton voters in 2016. The city purchased 139 acres that made up the former Milton County Club last January. Milton also finalized its acquisition of 106 acres in the southwestern portion of the city along Lackey Road last November.

Milton is continuing to discuss a park-sharing contract with Alpharetta after Milton chose to not to renew the agreement in place in 2012.

Park-sharing agreement expires between Milton, Alpharetta Both cities continue talks We thought it was a good to preserve sports leagues partnership, and we’re By PATRICK FOX and JOE PARKER pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Youth sports programs in Milton and Alpharetta are coping with a decision by Milton officials this month to not renew a contract for reciprocal parks access. The decision places youth sports leagues and other programs, which use park facilities in both cities, in an uncertain position and reopens a feud the cities settled over six years ago. In a joint announcement released Jan. 10, both cities said they will honor terms of the agreement for those who registered for programs prior to Jan. 8. Otherwise, those who participate in a recreation or parks program offered by the other city will have to pay a “non-resident fee” above the regular registration fee for the program. That can add as much as 75 percent to the price, and it may put the cost out of reach for some families. “We thought it was a good partnership, and we’re disappointed the City of Milton let it expire,” Gilvin said. “We’ll continue to work with them. They’re good neighbors, good partners.” Alpharetta has long sought agreements with other cities for recreational leagues that cross city limits. But, the city has also sought compensation from these partners pointing to the millions of local dollars that have been spent over the years to develop and maintain sports fields and programs. Alpharetta taxpayers fund the city’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department about $9 million a year. In addition, local voters passed a $52 million bond referendum in 2016 with just under half devoted to capital improvements and land acquisition for parks and rec. In 2018, Milton residents accounted for 14,300 registrations for Alpharetta-based recreation programs, while 413 Alpharetta residents participated in Milton-

based park programs. During that time, the City of Milton paid Alpharetta $453,100 in fees. League composition may change Gilvin said he hopes to come to terms on an agreement soon so that families in both communities can plan ahead and so that relationships forged in mixed leagues can continue. “We think that all the programs in North Fulton are better off when we have partnerships,” Gilvin said. “It benefits the taxpayers and the programs.” For its part, Milton has grown out of the parks poverty it found itself in when the earlier agreement was struck with Alpharetta in 2012. Milton has been on a parks spending spree of late. The city spent nearly $9 million from its Greenspace Bond to acquire 245 acres. The city is also in a due diligence period to purchase another 21 acres for a passive park. Last January, Milton acquired the former Milton Country Club property, but had to use nonbond funds to purchase the active portions of the park, including the pool and tennis courts. “Milton is committed to ensuring a wide variety of programming options, while maximizing our residents’ tax dollars,” said Milton Mayor Joe Lockwood. “Milton and Alpharetta have a history of working together to

benefit our neighboring communities, and we enjoy a very strong, close relationship that we believe will help us as we move forward with negotiating a new agreement that makes sense for both our cities.” At the heart of the issue is Milton’s desire to update the conditions of the agreement, and both cities have been unyielding in discussions. A major request Milton presented was to remove the out-of-city waiver where both cities have the same programming. Both cities offer boys lacrosse, football, baseball and basketball, tennis and a swim team. Milton seeks fee elimination Milton also requested to eliminate a fee it pays to Alpharetta annually. According to a presentation given by Milton’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board last November, the “multiplier” fee was added to the parks agreement to compensate Alpharetta for investments into its park facilities and to give Milton residents priority access for registration. The board’s presentation said the fee was “arbitrarily selected” for this purpose. Milton Parks and Recreation Director Jim Cregge said he is not aware of any improvements made to Alpharetta facilities through funds generated by the memorandum of understanding. Cregge said both cities are selecting officials to further discuss the agreement and see if a deal can be struck. But until and if that happens, Milton residents will see a dramatic cut in the amount of sports and recreation programming available without incurring out-of-city registration fees. “Milton does not have the broad depth of programming that Alpharetta has,” Cregge said. “For example, all of the programming offered at the three community centers in Alpharetta. Also, Milton does not offer arts programming and adult activities.” With the agreement dissolved for now, Milton could take the opportunity to redirect payments to Alpharetta to boost its own parks and programming. From 201217, Milton paid Alpharetta $2.25 million under the memorandum of understanding. “This isn’t about cost cutting, it is about redirecting and investing this money into facilities in Milton,” Cregge said.

Fulton County continues discussion on 2019 budget By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Disagreement over how much money commissioners should spend on travel dominated budget discussions at a Jan. 9 meeting of the Fulton County Commission. Commissioner Bob Ellis asked to have his travel budget, which was recently raised to $50,000, cut by $45,000. Commissioner Marvin Arrington opposed Ellis’s motion, saying that all commissioner’s travel budgets should be the same. The dispute led to discussion over whether commissioners could reduce or redistribute the funds that go to their office. The commission voted Dec. 19 to up individual travel budgets from 12,000 to $50,000 annually. That resolution stated that the travel budget could be used for staff training and that money could be transferred to other operating accounts in the commissioner’s office. Ellis and Commissioner Liz Hausmann voted against the change. “If I know I’m not going to spend it, I’d like to set it at a lower level. That’s all,” Ellis said at the Jan. 9 meeting. County Attorney Patrise M. PerkinsHooker said it would require a vote of the board to remove the money from El-

lis’s budget or redistribute it to another area of the budget outside of his office. Alternatively, any amount in the travel budget that the commissioners do not spend would be returned to the general fund at the end of the year. In other business Jan. 9, commissioners decided to add an item to its legislative priorities in 2019, with sights set once again on tax relief for homeowners. Commissioner Emma Darnell proposed a measure that would protect lower and moderate income neighborhoods from tax increases when large “mini-mansions” are built next door. Darnell’s proposal received support from several speakers during public comment and from the board. There was some debate over the exact language of the proposal, however, with some commissioners noting that home appraisal problems do not just affect low-income neighborhoods. “What is being described as happening here in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods is actually happening in every neighborhood at every income level,” Commissioner Lee Morris said. The Fulton County Commission will consider adopting the 2019 budget at its next meeting Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. at 141 Pryor St. in Atlanta. The proposed budget can be viewed at fultoncountyga. gov/fcfd-budget-information.

Local legislators offer preview of 2019 session By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com

This Weekend! January 18 th, 19 th&20th

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Five of the Alpharetta area’s state legislators provided city leaders with a glimpse of what they expect to be hot-button issues when the 2019 General Assembly convenes this week. Appearing at the opening of the Jan. 7 City Council meeting, State House Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones (R-Milton) said she expects one of the most controversial items coming before the Legislature this year will be in the area of hospital expansion. In particular, she said, lawmakers will review the process by which certificates of need are issued to hospitals to locate or expand services to certain areas of the state. The certificate of need process has become a major issue for rural communities where the number of hospital facilities have been shrinking. At the same time, many urban-based hospital systems have fought liberalizing the process to guard against a glut. State Rep. Chuck Martin (R-Alpharetta) said he expects school safety will doubtless draw a lot of the attention. “I don’t know a single legislator, regardless of party, regardless of tenure at the Legislature, that is not going to walk in that building on the 14th at 10 o’clock and be focused on anything more than school safety and how we can keep our kids safe,” Martin said. Also within the education spectrum, Martin said he will pursue efforts to fix the funding mechanism for the Teacher Retirement System to ensure educators receive the full benefits promised to them. Right now, he said, the system is seriously underfunded, and the state is obliged to honor its commitments to current and retired teachers. At the same time, he said, a healthy pension system will assure new teachers of a stable retirement. “It will not be easy to do,” Martin said. “It will involve conversations with our educators and with our employees, and it will cost money.” State Rep. Mary Robichaux (DRoswell) said that as a newly elected member of the House, she plans to listen and learn. She said she has a long background in healthcare management, including serving as a quality and efficiency expert with the American Heart Association for more than 10 years. Robichaux said she does plan to keep one ear on the constituents in Roswell and Alpharetta to ensure their concerns are being addressed by lawmakers.

I don’t know a single legislator, regardless of party, regardless of tenure at the Legislature, that is not going to walk in that building on the 14th at 10 o’clock and be focused on anything more than school safety and how we can keep our kids safe.” State Rep. Chuck Martin (R-Alpharetta)

State Sen. Brandon Beach (R-Alpharetta) said he remains focused on the expansion of broadband as a means of fostering Georgia’s powerful economy. “I look at broadband and 21st century technology just like a road or bridge,” he said. “We have to have it now. Everybody in the state needs it, and we need to make sure we’ve got the right fiber in the ground here in Alpharetta, the right small cells, the right technology so we can be on the cutting edge for the 21st century jobs in technology.” As chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, Beach said he wants to focus on improving operations for the Port of Savannah. Right now, he said, 17 percent of the freight coming out of the port is on rail. The rest leaves on trucks. He said he wants to work on a system that increases the portion of distribution to 35 percent rail. Such a measure, Beach said, will help relieve some of the 18-wheeler traffic that chokes Metro Atlanta freeways. Beach said he also plans to appeal to Congress that a share of the federal gasoline tax remain in the state in which it was collected. “Right now, every time you put a gallon of gas in the car, you send 18.4 cents to Washington,” he said. “When we get that money back, there could be as many as 22 different hoops you have to jump through to spend that money when it’s a federal dollar.” Beach said he’s proposing Georgia keep 10 cents of the tax and use it as state money to be used without federal regulatory strings.

Former Georgia running back highlights life, career By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Rotary Club of Milton hosted former UGA running back Brendan Douglas who delved into Georgia football and his playing career Jan. 7. Douglas, an Augusta native who attended UGA from 2013-16, said his love of sports began at a young age playing with his five brothers and three sisters. “Anybody who wanted to play knew they could come by the Douglas house and get some guys to play,” Douglas said. Douglas furthered his passion for sports playing football for Aquinas High School. “I’ve played in Neyland Stadium, Jordan-Hare Stadium and Stanford Stadium in front of hundreds of thousands of people, but I’d give anything to go back to Aquinas and play one more high school football game,” Douglas said. “This was truly some of the best times of my life.” While playing for Aquinas, Douglas caught the eye of college recruits and committed to Georgia Tech early in his junior year. Ahead of his senior year at Aquinas, Douglas attended a football camp at UGA. While running a 40-yard dash, former UGA offensive coordinator Mike Bobo walked by. “He didn’t even know my name but he called me over,” Douglas said. “He asked if I knew what I had just run. I said I had no idea. He looks at me and said, ‘I ain’t never seen a white boy run under a 4.5 forty.’” After impressing Bobo, running backs coach Bryan McClendon and head coach Mark Richt by repeating his quick time at the camp, UGA offered Douglas just ahead of National Signing Day. Douglas said the challenge of deciding between continuing on his path to Tech or opting for Georgia weighed heavily on his mind. He ultimately chose UGA because of what he had witnessed during Georgia’s camp. “I went to dozens of football camps at these colleges,” Douglas said. “The thing that stuck out about the University of Georgia was before the camp started, coach Richt called up everybody and he led us in prayer. I felt like I was at home at that point.” Douglas recalled some of the high and low points of his playing time, including the thrill of his first collegiate run as a freshman, to his crushing fumble late in the game against Vanderbilt in 2013. “I think this is how life can relate to

sports,” Douglas said. “I was an 18year old kid, face in the dirt, who had let down myself, the fans and my team. I think in life you have obstacles to go through and you can either lie there and feel sorry for yourself, or you can get up and continue to fight.” Douglas also highlighted the relationships he built at UGA, including with fellow running backs Todd Gurley, Sony Michel and Nick Chubb. “They are some of my best friends in the world, just genuinely good guys,” Douglas said. Douglas also recalled the firing of Mark Richt, who he called a father figure. He said he will never forget when Richt came to announce he was leaving for the University of Miami, the entire team formed the Miami’s “U” with their hands as Richt walked in. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the house,” Douglas said. Entering his senior season, which was plagued by injuries, Douglas said he could see the determination in the eyes of new head coach Kirby Smart. He said he is often asked his coaching preference, and responds by stating they are two different coaches with distinct styles. Douglas, who now works with at an Atlanta-based wealth management firm, said he is forever grateful for the life lessons he learned through sports. “Hard work, teamwork, dedication, all of these kinds of characteristics transition into the real world,” he said. Rotary Club of Milton meets at City Hall at noon on Mondays.

OPINION

Nice to meet you, here’s all my germs I don’t say “bless you” when someone sneezes. I refuse to utter the phrase for many reasons, chief of which is the fact that I don’t believe sneezing leaves someone susceptible to demonic possession, having JOE PARKER their soul stolen or Reporter joe@appenmediagroup.com that it wards off the Black Plague. Secondly, I believe that it is very strange to acknowledge a natural function of the body. Saying “bless you” after someone sneezes and singing “Hello, Dolly” after someone breaks wind is the same in my eyes. While saying “bless you” following a sneeze is not a practice to which I adhere, it does not bother me. However, I take issue with another customary act — shaking hands. So we’re meeting for the first time? Let me awkwardly place my hand into yours to signify that yes, we now have in fact met. And nothing says “Nice to meet you” like two unknown people spreading all their germs to each other. And why, when someone accomplishes something, is it seen as perfectly normal to thrust out your hand and expect the other person to do the same? “Congratulations on the birth of your child! To signify well wishes, feel how sweaty my palm is!” While I find the custom strange on the surface, it gets even weirder when you consider there are different types of hand-shakers. First, there is Mr. I’m Likely Compensating for Something by Crushing Your Hand. This man was told before his first job interview that nothing indicates confidence like a firm, hearty handshake. But this man can’t leave it at that. No, he must show you just how self-assured

he is by grabbing your hand with the kind of force that turns your fingers into pulp. In order to deal with this man, I advise you to scream during the handshake because he should be made aware that is a normal response when someone is pulverizing human bones. There is also Mr. Way Too Overzealous who is just so darned happy to meet you that his arm flails so violently during the handshake that elbows are pulled out of sockets and wrists are permanently damaged. Mr. Has to Shake Your Hand Constantly is similar to Overzealous man, but it’s not the freneticism of his handshakes that gets you, it’s the frequency. He has to rub his palm together with yours at seemingly every opportunity, including during a greeting, after a funny joke, when saying goodbye, when someone mentions they like toast, when the Earth continues it rotation, etc. For those who don’t believe there is enough skin contact between strangers during a handshake, there is Mr. Hand Cupper. This is a man who wants to double the chances a little bit of the snot he blew into his hands earlier ends up on you. It’s not enough to just use his right hand, Mr. Hand Cupper needs maximum contact and employs his left hand to make the bacterial buns of a handshake burger. Then there is the category in which I fall — Mr. Dead Hand. This is a man who doesn’t care for handshakes, but is still inclined to lock inner thumbs together because otherwise he might grossly offend someone who feels disrespected when someone isn’t eager to exchange palm sweat. So if you run into me on the street, do not be disrespected when I am not eager to shake your hand. You should, however, be concerned if I start singing “Hello, Dolly.”

IN THE INTEREST OF OTHERS:

Leveraging potential for the greater good By LEE CHADWICK Guest contributor Imagine you could help motivate high school students in your community — those with extraordinary academic and leadership potential, who would not have access to Chadwick advanced education for financial reasons. What if you could offer these kids an education at one of our great colleges at no expense to them? The POSSE foundation has done exactly that. The program extends four-year full tuition scholarships, by partnering with one of 60 universities and colleges. Each institution agrees to support 10 students as a group from a specific community — like Atlanta. The students are placed in carefully curated multicultural teams. POSSE also provides the crucial social support required for these kids to fit in and thrive in an environment where the enrichment experiences of other students may differ greatly from their own. The amazingly successful structure of this program has shepherded over 8,400 students to graduate successfully; which represents over 90 percent of those initially selected to participate. To tap the talent and leadership potential of post-911 veterans, they are now qualifying for the scholarship process. In September 2019, the first class of vets will proudly matriculate to the University of Chicago, on their way to a new life, and new ways to serve. Opportunity starts as a circumstance of birth. Possibilities exist here in America that do not exist anywhere else in this world; including excellent public education. This coordinated effort recognizes clearly brilliant and capable kids are born to all kinds of families, of every race and every economic bracket. These scholars are our future; a natural resource of great potential that must be cultivated to the fullest. Let’s elevate great minds and change the world. POSSE was the vision of Deborah Bial who in 1989 engaged colleges and universities in co-sponsoring the education of kids clearly exhibiting drive and brains. How can you help? The college provides an excellent full boat academic scholarship and private individuals (like me!) and insightful corporations pick up what’s left. The auxiliary cost is about $4,000 per student per year, much of it from small private gifts. This includes the guidance, transportation, and everything needed to ensure success. We

Developer unveils latest plans for upgrade to old Sears site By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Few projects have garnered as much buzz in Alpharetta lately as the proposed plans to redevelop the abandoned Sears property in North Point Mall. Last fall, the mall owner, General Growth Properties, submitted plans to the city to convert the 14-acre property into a mixed-use development. The plans, which include converting the parking lot, call for 328 multifamily units with restaurant space and green space. On Jan. 9, city officials and developers met with residents at the Community Zoning Information Meeting at City Hall to answer questions and present updates on several projects. So far, the public response to the Sears site development has been favorable, said Community Development Director Kathi Cook. “I’ve received mostly positive comments,” Cook said. “We’ve had some people we heard that are concerned about the density that goes with residential. We also have some that are very excited to see something happen to a failing retail center, Sears.” As part of a Livable Centers Initiative last year, the city surveyed the public

The response, Cook said, was to add more green space, add mixed-uses, add park space, take out some of the parking and make more connections. The plans under consideration now try to incorporate these requests, she said.

One of the updates is to upgrade the sidewalks and infrastructure with more pedestrian-friendly connections. “We’ve had such a great response from the business owners in the area about making North Point walkable,” Cook said. “A lot of them said that they go to the [Big Creek] Greenway anyway

when they’re on their lunch hour. So, to have better access to that was very exciting.” This project will be a part of the Alpha Loop, a growing network of multiuse trails that will connect City Center and Avalon with the city’s existing parks. “The goal is to get the Alpha Loop to join Encore Parkway, cross the street, go down Encore, and then join the greenway,” Cook said. “It will all be tied together.” There hasn’t been a project of this size in Alpharetta before, Cook said. The Sears redevelopment proposal will go through the Planning Commission next on Feb. 7 and, if it moves forward, it will go before the City Council on Feb. 25. Staff is currently in the midst of writing up their recommendations, Cook said. The Jan. 9 meeting also provided updates on other city projects, including renovations to Bailey-Johnson School, which would add a food hall and culinary school, and a 159-home development, dubbed the Ecco Park, proposed by The Providence Group on North Point Drive. Community Zoning Information meetings are held every month at City Hall so project applicants can talk to residents about their plans before they go before the City Council.

Milton 89, West Forsyth 82

NorthFulton.com | Milton Herald | January 17, 2019 | 13

Milton spreads the wealth in region win over West Forsyth MILTON, Ga. — Perhaps what stood out most to Milton head coach Allen Whitehart after his team’s 89-82 win over West Friday night was the chemistry he is seeing. The Eagles racked up 20 assists and put five players in double-digit scoring against the Wolverines. That performance comes behind some players still making the transition from football to the hardwoods, and the team dealing with injuries, including a broken hand that has sidelined senior forward Malachi Martin. “I feel our chemistry is really good, and 20 assists shows that,” Whitehart said. “It’s getting better as we continue to play together, and moving forward, I think it’s only going to get better when we get everybody adjusted.” Leading the offensive charge to 89 points — 24 more than the Eagles average per game this season — was Donaven Hairston. The senior guard racked up 33 points and had a standout second half, scoring 12 of 16 Milton points during a stretch in the fourth quarter. Freshman Bruce Thornton added 17 points with eight assists, three rebounds, a steal and a block. “Donaven is doing a great job of scoring the ball at a high clip for us, and Bruce is facilitating and running the show,” Whitehart said. “I think we go as they go. But that’s not taking anything away from the other guys. Everybody is having a contributing role in our success, and it can be a different guy each night. I think that’s the exciting thing as a coach, to know that you have multiple guys that can help you win.” David Banks contributed primarily in the paint with 16 points, four rebounds

and two steals. Evan Hurst led the Eagles with eight rebounds and added 12 points. Jordan Yates netted 10 points. Milton took the lead midway through the first quarter and continued to mount pressure with quick points in transition and limiting penetration by West’s offense. However, the Wolverines refused to back down throughout the contest. West sank 13 of 25 three-pointers in the game, often at crucial junctions to cut Milton’s ability to run away with the score. Sophomore Broc Bidwell led West with 31 points and made seven threepointers. Milton opened a 72-58 lead with four minutes remaining in the game, but the Wolverines began pressing and cut the deficit to single digits in the final minute. “I thought we broke down a little early, we regroup and come back to lead by about 16 at one point, but the press shook us a little bit,” Whitehart said. After a flurry of shots and offensive rebounds, West’s Nick Zabetakis hit a 3-pointer to cut Milton’s lead to 85-79 with 25 seconds left. The Wolverines’ comeback bid ul-

timately fell short, due in large part to Milton’s free throws in the final minute. Thornton was 4-4 and Hairston was 2-2 in the final 49 seconds of the game to give Milton it’s seven-point win. Milton (12-6, 4-1) retained its spot at second in the 5-AAAAAAA standings behind Lambert (16-3, 4-0). West Forsyth (6-12, 2-3) sits fourth in the standings. Girls: West Forsyth 62, Milton 19 West Forsyth won its fourth contests in five games by downing winless Milton (0-14, 0-4) in a battle of youthful squads. West (10-7, 2-2) surged to a 20-3 lead in the first quarter and were relentless in increasing the margin to 58-11 after three quarters. West’s scoring was led by freshman Calie Thrower and Cayla Cowart. Thrower led the Wolverines with 21 points, including four three-pointers in the third quarter. Cowart netted 19 points and added seven rebounds.

Alpharetta’s new Economic Development director grabs reins Thomas sets goal to strengthen ties with local business By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com

able to study that in real time.” That unfolding provided Thomas a vivid picture of how private investment, job creation and housing all play a role in creating a robust economy. A decade later, Thomas finds himself studying conditions at the opposite end of the spectrum, this time at the local level.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — It’s a little like grabbing the reins of a charging horse, taking over as Alpharetta’s director of Economic Development. From Avalon to the new City Center, few cities in Metro Atlanta have seen the explosion of economic growth that has taken place over the past five years. “We’re growing so much so fast,” said Matthew Thomas, who was appointed Alpharetta Director of Economic Development last June. “Right now, we’re faced with a matter of how we want to engage with business. It’s a good problem to have, as important as going out and getting new business.” Thomas, 29, came to Alpharetta after five years as head of economic development for the City of Canton. Prior to that, the Dalton native served internships with the Metro Atlanta Chamber and the Chattanooga Chamber, both exposing him to the ins and outs of economic development. He graduated with a degree in economics from the University of West Georgia during a time when the nation was entrenched in its worst recession in generations. It provided him a tangible perspective on how economies work. “We were literally studying the depth of how things like supply and demand work in consumer economics, how Federal Reserve interest rates impact how banks and private and public institutions are intertwined,” he said. “We were

Connecting with new development Taking on economic growth in Alpharetta is no small task. The city’s office and residential markets have exploded, especially in the areas west of Ga. 400. That’s a lot of new business and new development, and Thomas said it’s his job to connect with these people. “So much of the development here is new,” he said. “In a lot of communities you have development that’s been there for 40-60 years. A lot of the bricks here in Alpharetta, they go back 20-30 years maybe. A lot of our office parks are fairly new.” A major part of his role, as he sees it, is to open channels with these investors and find out how the city can help them remain strong and grow. To that end, Thomas said he has reached out to all the various business organizations in the area — the Alpharetta Business Association, the Alpharetta Chamber, the Greater North Fulton Chamber. “We’re going to operate better when we know business better,” he said. “[We want to] create an environment that sustains vitality and expansion of their business. The fruit of that is expansion, more jobs and a more favorable place for new businesses.” One concern raised with the recent boom has been the erosion of Alpharetta’s small-town image, an image many residents want to preserve.

Alpharetta Economic Development Director Matthew Thomas says it’s his job to keep the city connected to new businesses and investors to guide future growth. The 29-year-old came to Alpharetta in June after five years with the City of Canton. “You’ve got to pay homage to where you came from,” Thomas said. “I think a lot of that is captured in corridors like Downtown Alpharetta that does have a pretty dense mix of the older and historic structures. I think we’ve done well so far to preserve those structures.” At the same time, Thomas said the city is capable of creating its own history witnessed by its foresight in attracting the technology sector. “You’ve got 600-plus technology com-

panies,” he said. “Those are innovators. Those are thinkers. They make their living by being on the cutting edge, and it’s that same mentality for a lot of people who call Alpharetta home or who have invested here.” Selling Alpharetta to investors Thomas said another part of his job is to shop Alpharetta for potential investors. Many already know a lot about the

Rates’ last hurrah below 5 percent The tumbling stock market has brought with it one last hurrah to capture low mortgage interest rates. If you were thinking about taking cash out of your home and refinancing — or if Geoff smith you were on the fence Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com about buying, now would be the time. Since hitting an all time low of around 3.34 percent in late 2012, the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage according to MortgageNewsDaily had steadily fought to get back above 5 percent. It finally did early last November. Then suddenly, investors got nervous about the thought of an impending recession, and about trade deals with China, and the stock markets freaked. Most ended the year lower than where they started. Mortgage interest rates are loosely pegged to the 10-Year Treasury Yield. That yield, and mortgage interest rates, go up when investors are buying stocks instead of Treasury bonds. And they go down when the opposite is true. As the stock market sank, investors ran to the

Thomas: Continued from Page 14 city, he said, but he wants to fill in the information gaps and convince investors Alpharetta has much to offer in the way of infrastructure, workforce, education and in a city leadership that listens. “Regardless of what the perceptions of what the place has been in the past, now it’s one, cool, amazing destination,” Thomas said. That perception can be seen right now in the redevelopment taking place

safety of bonds, and mortgage interest rates fell 0.5 percent to about 4.5 percent. Before the drop, homebuyers and homeowners were having a hard time getting used to the idea of a 5 percent-rate. For roughly the last six years, they had been used to rates under, or near, 4 percent. Many of my younger clients didn’t believe me when I first told them. They thought I was nuts. My older clients were different. The 5 percent-rate still paled in comparison to the above 10 percent rates they had to deal with throughout most of the 1980s. Freddie Mac’s average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage peaked in October 1981 at a whopping 18.45 percent! We have certainly enjoyed historically low rates lately. When rates dropped below 5 percent in January of 2009, it was the first time in recorded history they had ever done that (aside from a very brief time during WWII when no one was buying homes). Because of that, it is easy to think that the 4.6 percent average rate that we are enjoying right now, isn’t here to stay very long. It dropped quickly since last November, and it could very easily

along Windward Parkway and farther south at North Point, he said. Brookfield Properties is presenting plans this month on how they want to redevelop a large portion of the North Point mall area that will include new retail and restaurants, walking trails and other amenities like a mini sports field, bocce garden and playground. “That also affects adjacent property owners,” Thomas said. “So, you’ve got this new plan in place, which then creates other movements in the market, and those movements create a ripple effect.” By keeping his head in the redevel-

go back up quickly. If you have been considering taking equity out of your house to remodel, or to make a significant purchase, now could very well be your last chance to capture a sub-5 percent rate. If you are locked into an FHA rate and are ready to convert to conventional where that disturbing mortgage insurance eventually goes away, now would be a good time to take a look. If you have been thinking about making a purchase, the housing market has cooled considerably and has shifted back toward becoming a buyer’s market again. So now might be a good time.

When he is not working on economic development for the city, Thomas is settling in to home life with his wife, Keona, whom he married in September. He also likes to spend time with his other passion, playing jazz piano. “I enjoy being here in Alpharetta,” he said. “I’m very blessed to be a part of this team at such an amazing time in this city’s history.”

Surveys can help you learn from your customers With the new year here, do you have plans to survey your customers? Getting feedback from your customers can help you to identify what you are doing well, and where you may need to make dick jones improvements. SurFounder & President Jones Simply Sales veying your customers can also help improve your relationships, providing an easy vehicle to identify ways to serve your customers better. There are many low-cost survey “systems” available for you to use to facilitate this process. Survey Monkey and Constant Contact are two examples of easy-touse systems that you can use to not only create the survey, but also distribute it via an email and also tabulate the results. Your survey should include both multiple choice questions, such as rating your company’s products or services, and also open-ended questions requesting written feedback. You’ll want to keep your survey short to maximize the responses you get. If the survey has a lot of questions and it takes more than 5 minutes to complete, you probably won’t get a lot of feedback. The most important part of surveying your customers is doing something with the data you collect. If the survey identifies that you are not meeting their expectations, it’s a great opportunity to improve in areas that are identified. Customer surveys are very commonplace with large corporations, but many small business owners don’t take advantage of this. Surveying your customers, and improving your small business from what you learn, is a great way to continue to grow your small business!

In addition, our Learning labs and our dedicated STEAM Station are outfitted with the latest technology like BeeBots, SmartBoards, iPads, and other robotics and engineering tools that students use to solve real-world problems. Educating the whole child means cocurricular programs, athletics, and the arts are a vital part of every student’s educational journey. From horseback riding to golf to an array of of other athletic options, every student is active at Woodward North. Our arts programs are similarly extensive. Our students learn skills in music, performance, drawing, painting, and crafts that set them up for a lifetime of creative work.

But all these programs and curricula only mean as much as the community behind them; at Woodward, students are part of a truly diverse community that cultivates strong character and a deep respect for difference. Here, these are more than buzzwords--diversity is our backbone. Every day, our students bring experiences from a vast array of cultures, ethnicities, religions, races, learning styles, and geographic neighborhoods, which means that every day they learn from peers who are different from them. We emphasize our global curriculum and service to support civic engagement. Our diversity, service, and global programs create truly compassionate citizens of the world. Most Woodward North students continue on to Main Campus in seventh

grade for a whole new world of opportunities, including our Independent Scientific Research and Global Connections programs. The Academy provides extensive bus transportation, and many students choose to ride MARTA in designated Woodward cars with assigned security officers. A typical Woodward Academy graduating class attends more than 100 different colleges and universities, devotes 5,000 hours to community service, and earns more than $15 million in scholarships. They join an alumni network of 10,000+ and go on to live every version of success as engineers, musicians, professors, business leaders, you name it.

High Meadows School There is no place like High Meadows School. Since 1973, High Meadows students in Pre-K through 8th grade have learned through experiential, immersive educational opportunities offered both in the school’s spacious, light-filled classrooms and across 42 acres of grassy fields and scenic woodlands. High Meadows School’s progressive curriculum is focused on developing future global citizens and innovative leaders who embrace challenge and think for themselves. High Meadows lower years classrooms offer low student-teacher ratios in which instruction emphasizes academic excellence, love of learning, critical thinking, and environmental and social responsibility. As a nationally recognized and award-winning leader in progressive education, High Meadows is an accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering its renowned Primary Years Program for students in preschool through fifth grade. High Meadows School’s accomplished and experienced faculty lead each student on this journey. Through interactive, inquiry-based instruction, supported by of-the-moment technology and our naturebased campus, High Meadows teachers are unequaled in their intellect, passion, and compassion for these kids. Every day they inspire authentic learning opportunities that are engaging and sticky (literally and figuratively!). When children graduate from High Meadows, they are empowered with a deep respect for international perspectives, an intuitive understanding of life’s in-

terconnectedness, and an exceedingly strong sense of self. Education is an expedition that starts from the moment we are born. When we teach children to be curious and inquiring at an early age, we create within them a love of learning that lasts an entire lifetime. What is more important than that? Come see how all this comes to life with a tour of

our campus. We invite you to talk with us about how your child may find his or her sense of place with us, and speak with current and alumni parents to learn about their own experiences firsthand. highmeadows.org 770-993-2940

Since 1973, High Meadows has inspired children in Pre-K through 8th Grade to think critically, learn creatively, act globally, and live compassionately.

Milton Montessori continues to grow Milton Montessori School started in January 2008 as Red Apple Montessori. Back then, there were only two classrooms, one Toddler and one Primary. Through the years, the school has added two additional classrooms, and now, Milton Montessori School has a state of the art new 6000 sq. ft building. The expansion allowed Milton Montessori School to offer Montessori programs from infants through elementary level. While the school will utilize the original school building and the new building for the Infant, Toddler, Primary and elementary classrooms. Along with the new building, there will be additional playground space added with new equipment’s, a soccer field and the outdoor learning environment will include a newly expanded garden. While the growth of the school has added more classrooms and space, several key things remain the same. The teaching staff at Milton Montessori has been the same since the early days of the school. As the classrooms were added, the Montessori teaching staff grew too, and they have stayed.

L I S T E N

This Montessori teaching staff has around 170 years of combined teaching experience, and that is not the only thing that sets Milton Montessori School apart from other schools. Another valu-

Inspiring, encouraging, and empowering the young minds of today Our children are growing up in a fast-paced world full of technological advances and endless opportunities. As your child develops, it is very important to help them be prepared for the challenges, as well as the adventure! In the article, “How to Raise a WellRounded Child,” co-authored by Paul Chernyak, LPC, “Many parents want to provide their children with the tools necessary for success. However, this can often result in parents pressuring children into overtraining or specializing in sports or activities at a young age. Instead, you should strive to raise a well-rounded child. This can be done by laying the foundation for your child to excel in a number of areas: academically, socially, and through the development of special interests. In order to raise a well-rounded child, you should develop strong work habits, teach social skills, provide a supportive environment, and promote the development of a healthy lifestyle.” At Bridgeway Christian Academy (BCA), the staff and faculty focus on the whole child by providing excellence in Christ-centered education, equipping students to Know, Grow, and Go. In fact, Chernyak recommends four distinct methods; 1) Developing Effective Work

Habits, 2) Teaching Social Skills, 3) Providing a Supportive Environment, 4) Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle BCA focuses on three principles: KNOW, GROW, AND GO which are very similar to the four methods of

Chernyak’s article. By focusing on these three principles, BCA provides a loving, and safe environment that equips the whole child for growing up in a 21st century world. Through BCA’s STEM program
