Brazen couple returns to steal more televisions MILTON, Ga. — A Milton Walmart employee contacted police Jan. 18 to report that two men had stolen televisions. The employee said the same men had stolen televisions from the store in December.

The employee said two unidentified men entered the store around 2 p.m., took two televisions from a shelf and walked out of store without paying. A customer service employee at the exit asked the men for a receipt but the suspects ignored the request and fled the store.

The two televisions have a combined value of $756.

The Walmart loss prevention officer said the men left the store in a smaller gray Nissan SUV, but the license plate was covered with a cardboard placard.

Suspect flees retailer without paying for items MILTON, Ga. — Milton Police are investigating a Jan. 20 incident in which an unidentified man fled the Milton Fry’s Electronics with merchandise he had not purchased.

An employee of the store said he saw the suspect attempt to exit the store without paying for the merchandise and

was on, but he did not find it suspicious.

The victim said he noticed someone had rifled through his car and the 9 mm pistol stored in the center console was missing.

He said another car in the garage appeared to have been entered, but nothing was missing.

asked him to stop. The employee said the male suspect then ran out of the store, hopped in a black car and drove off.

Surveillance video showed the man entering the store at 3:42 p.m. and fleeing the location six minutes later.

After conducting an inventory check, a store employee said the man had taken two computer video cards valued at $200 each.

Police arrest motorist seen driving erratically MILTON, Ga. — Milton Police arrested a man Jan. 21 on Ga. 9 after a breathalyzer test revealed his blood-alcohol level was just under twice the legal limit.

An officer observed the suspect cross the double-yellow line several times while driving along Ga. 9 near Bethany Road.

After pulling the car over, the officer said the suspect had an open beer in his lap and his cell phone was on its call screen. The man said he was attempting to call his girlfriend and said he had only consumed one beer.

According to the report, the man showed multiple signs of intoxication during a field sobriety test. A breathalyzer test showed the man had a bloodalcohol level of 0.159.

The suspect was arrested for DUI, failure to maintain lane, hand-free violation and driving while unlicensed.

Man reports opiates missing from room MILTON, Ga. — A Milton man reported that his prescription Oxycodone pills

were stolen from his nightstand.

The man said he takes one pill each night before bed and places them in the nightstand drawer next to his bed. He said when he woke up on Jan. 21 the pills were missing. He stated he counts the pills each night and 106 were in the bottle the previous night.

The man said he suspects his juvenile son, who he claimed had problems with alcohol and drug abuse, of stealing the opiates.

The man said he suspected his son took pills 10 days prior, but the man’s wife told police she found an empty pill bottle in the bottom of clothes basket in their bedroom. She said her husband fell down the stairs and may have bumped his head, causing him to forget where he had placed the pills.

Police spoke with the man’s son who denied taking the opiates. The son also stated he was regularly given drug tests by his mother and all the recent tests had been negative. The juvenile’s mother confirmed the statement.

Police did not file charges.

Employee loses phone while assisting customer ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police are investigating a Jan. 13 incident in which an employee at the Auto Zone on North Main Street noticed her cell phone had been taken while she helped a customer.

The employee said she had placed her cell phone near her register at 6:30 p.m. while she went to help a customer.

When she returned five minutes later, her phone was gone. There was no camera in the store.

Updated information delays decision on townhomes

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — A townhome development proposed along Bethany Bend will go back before the Planning Commission after city staff discovered information presented to the board in December was inaccurate. The City Council approved a measure Jan. 23 returning the rezoning request to the Planning Commission.

Community Development Director Parag Agrawal said a request to delete an undisturbed buffer in a 2008 rezoning case on the property was never requested or approved. The Planning Commission rendered its decision to recommend approval of the current rezoning case under the assumption elimination of the buffer was approved in a prior rezoning request.

“Our recommendation is, since the complete information was not presented to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission should again be given a chance to hear all the information that was discovered for this project,” Agrawal said.

The applicant, Bajun American Properties, requested a rezoning to develop 54 townhomes on Bethany Bend north of Morris Road and adjacent to the Forsyth County border. Included in the case is a variance request to reduce the 75-foot undisturbed buffer and replace it with a 35-foot landscape buffer.

In addition to the new information regarding the 2008 rezoning case, city staff also recommended another review by the Planning Commission because Bajun has updated the site plan.

The landscape buffer has been extended from 20 to 35 feet and a landscaping plan was presented. Agrawal said the city arborist has not yet reviewed the landscaping proposal.

Council man Joe Longoria said he agreed “100 per-

City Attorney Ken Jarrard said the council has the ability to table the request because it is inferred that the Planning Commission is reviewing accurate information.

“If you have discovered something you think is an issue, I think you have the right under your zoning codes to remand it back to the Planning Commission with instruction,” Jarrard said. “Presumably, that

instruction is to compile the correct information, hold another public hearing and then make a recommendation based on the correct information and sent it back [before the City Council].”

A representative with Bajun said the firm is “in the middle of redesign and rework with both [city] staff and the neighboring residents.”

The council voted unanimously to send the request back to the Planning Commission, which will hear the case Feb. 27.

Milton enacts ban on synthetic marijuana, opiate ‘substitutes’

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Police Chief Rich Austin said the city’s action to ban synthetic marijuana and opiate substitutes puts Milton on the cutting edge to combat the risks associated with the unregulated products.

The City Council voted Jan. 23 to ban the sale, manufacture, use, delivery, purchase, possession or distribution of the marijuana and opiate substitutes within the city.

A statement in the council agenda packet said the purpose of the ordinance is “to improve the general health, safety and welfare of our citizens by reducing the availability of any and all unregulated marijuana substitutes within our city.”

Austin said the unregulated products puts Milton’s youth in danger, and synthetic marijuana use has caused several teenage residents to seek urgent medical

City Attorney Ken Jarrard said “real marijuana is KoolAid” compared to the artificial substances. attention. He added that many teens believe because something is legal it is safe.

Synthetic marijuana, sometimes labeled as “K2” or “Spice,” is often available at convenience stores. City Attorney Ken Jarrard said “real marijuana is Kool-Aid” compared to artificial substances.

Council members Carol Cookerly and Rick Mohrig shared firsthand accounts of the dangers of the products.

According to a July 2018 statement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, reports of illnesses and deaths have been associated with synthetic marijuana tainted with a long-acting anticoagulant commonly used in rat poison. According to the FDA, brodifacoum is thought to extend the duration of the high attributed to marijuana substitute consumption.

A statement from the FDA said use of these products have been associated with rapid heart rate, vomiting, seizures, kidney damage, violent behavior and suicidal thoughts and reduced blood supply to the heart.

The FDA’s statement said measures have been taken to ban certain cannabinoids, but manufacturers have skirted regulations by either changing the chemical makeup of their products or labeling them as “not for human consumption.”

Jarrard said the state regulatory process is slow, and municipalities can lead the charge by banning the products in their city. He said a case could be made that any product that has the intention to mimic the affect of cannabinoids falls under the banner of marijuana or opiate substitutes.

The city will now identify businesses selling synthetic marijuana and give them 30 days to remove the products from shelves. After the grace period, officers can take enforcement on any businesses that continue to sell the products, Austin said.

While the charge for possession or sale of products can incur a misdemeanor charge, Austin said the intention of the ban is not to make arrests. The chief said the ordinance can be used as an informational campaign and a tool for officers.

A potential synthetic marijuana ban has also been considered by the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, though its proposed prohibition extends to alcohol licenses. As currently written, any business selling marijuana or opiate substitutes would be subjected to a suspension of its alcohol beverage license after two violations within a two-year period.

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County adopted its 2019 budget Jan. 23 in a 4-3 vote, with North Fulton Commissioners Liz Hausmann, Bob Ellis and Lee Morris opposing.

Against the recommendation of County Manager Dick Anderson, the budget cuts funding for new election equipment, risk management and operation expenses to pay for additional senior services and art programs, which were added at the last minute by commissioners Natalie Hall, Marvin Arrington and Emma Darnel.

Although commissioners shifted priorities around, the budget total stayed at $1.1 billion, as proposed in November.

This amount was set assuming a property tax rate of 10.12 mills, a reduction from 2018’s rate of 10.2.

At the beginning of the meeting, commissioners were comparing an early version of the budget prepared by Chief Financial Manager Sharron Whitmore and Anderson and a new version that included commissioners’ requests from previous meetings.

These requests included $4.7 million in personnel costs, more than $2 million for behavioral health services and funding several smaller programs for seniors, arts groups and at-risk youth.

To pay for the changes, the budget team recommended reducing the operating fund by $3.5 million, or 2.5 percent of all operation expenses, reducing risk related expenses by $2.3 million and reducing the election equipment reserve by $2.55 million.

Anderson justified the cut to operation expenses, saying the county usually underruns the budget by 10 percent. In 2018, operational underruns totaled $20 million.

Still, Anderson recommended the commissioners wait to let the underruns build up for half a year and then consider additional programs.

“I think the best approach is to take the Jan. 9 proposal and approve it,” Anderson said. “Then, allow the underruns to accrue, which inevitably they will. We project 10 percent, but we’ll know better as we get into the year. As those underruns have accrued, then bring that as a source of funds back to the board and have the board decide then what priorities those funds should be deployed against.”

Fulton County’s election systems came under heavy scrutiny in 2018, with complaints about long waits and questions about the handling of ab-

sentee ballots. On Election Day, one precinct started the day with only three voting machines, and three polling places stayed open past 7 p.m.

Ellis opposed cutting the election contingency and the risk management fund, also expressing concern over reducing the operation budget for the courts and Public Safety departments.

“We, I think conservatively, have set aside a portion of funds to deal with the contingency should we have to go in and expend the funds that are necessary to deliver fair, quality elections that our citizens will be happy with,” he said.

“Because we might not get the funding necessary from the state.”

Ellis made a motion to approve the Jan. 9 version of the budget with a promise to consider additional spending for public heath, with an emphasis on HIV; behavioral health, with an emphasis on opioids; the courts and facilities, including the animal shelter.

His motion, which essentially followed the county manager’s recommendation, had the support of Hausmann and Morris, but failed to garner enough votes.

Hall then made a motion to adopt the Jan. 23 version of the budget with additional requests. Arrington and Darnel made their own additions.

These last-minute additions were considered friendly amendments, not requiring a vote and offering little opportunity to scrutinize what they included.

“We now have a host of recommendations in the last minute that I’m not really clear on,” Hausmann said. “We have a situation where they may all be worthy.

They may all be great. They may all be needed, but I don’t think our staff can even tell us from a professional perspective if they fit in with our priorities.”

The last-minute requests carried a price tag of $1.3 million. After considering the requests, Whitmore came back with a plan to fund the additions by cutting all funding from the election equipment reserves.

This budget passed with Hall, Arrington, Darnel and Chairman Robb Pitts voting in favor.

Pitts said there were challenges with the process, but he thinks the commissioners came to a compromise.

“I personally am not satisfied with a lot that’s in it, but you have to compromise in this business, and that’s what I think this represents,” he said.

Ellis disagreed.

“We balanced our budgets on the backs of our elections and public safety,” he said.

“It was wrong and the whole board ought to be ashamed of ourselves for passing it.”

Longtime Milton city executive Carter Lucas announces resignation

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Longtime city official Carter Lucas announced he will end his tenure with Milton after a decade of service as the director of Public Works and assistant city manager. Lucas said he is leaving to work with a close friend who specializes in custom residential remodeling.

Mayor Joe Lockwood called Lucas’ resignation “bittersweet” at the City Council’s Jan. 23 meeting, and Lucas shares that sentiment.

“It absolutely is (bittersweet),” Lucas said. “The staff is here is tremendous, the council is probably the best I have worked with and the community is first class. When I look back at what we all have been able to accomplish in such a short time, I am humbled and extremely proud to have been a part of it.

I wouldn’t expect it to be easy to leave a place that I have poured so much of myself into, and I have the utmost respect for the group that I work with, but after spending the last 20 years of my career in public service I know it is time to start

SPECIAL/CITYOFMILTON

Carter Lucas, assistant city manager and director of Public Works, announced he is ending his 10-year tenure with the city. the next chapter in my life.”

Lucas said he had not been pursuing other employment, but when he was presented the opportunity he felt like it was time to make the transition.

“I’ve put everything I have into this community for nearly a decade and at some point you realize that it is probably best to take a step back and turn

the operation over to someone who can continue to provide the time, energy and innovation that this community deserves,” he said.

Lucas began his term with Milton in 2009 as an employee of the CH2M Hill team which was in contract with the city to oversee public works initiatives. When the city transitioned to in-house man-

agement of the department, Lucas said his decision to stay with Milton and play a part in setting the foundation of the young city was one of the best decisions of his life.

“It’s been fun, frustrating, challenging and rewarding, sometimes all in the same day,” he said. “I have appreciated the chance to provide whatever value I could to help make it happen, and I look forward to the day when I can look back on the city and know that I played some part in making it happen.”

Lucas played a key role in major long-term projects within the city, including the development of the Central Milton Trail Plan, the Crabapple Placemaking Plan and Milton City Hall.

He also led efforts for the $9 million renovation at Bell Memorial Park and Greenspace Bond land acquisitions, created initiatives to incentivize large residential lots and managed long-term transportation and infrastructure planning.

Lucas said none of those undertakings would have been possible without the support of his fellow city employees and the community.

“I have been fortunate enough to be part of a great team that includes staff, council and the community who have all put in a tremendous amount of effort to make the city what it is today,” Lucas said. “While that work will continue after I am gone, I am very happy to have played whatever roll I could to help out.”

OPINION

The importance of a hole in one I love Christopher’s Nolan’s movie “Inception.” I need to see it again — at least once but probably more than once.

It’s a movie with many themes and multiple layers of reality. Some layers Ray appen Publisher are dreams. Others ray@appenmediagroup.com are not dreams and are instead, reality. One reviewer described “Inception” as “a paradox maze imbedded in a multilevel dream… dreams within dreams.”

Throughout the film, you are tasked with deciding which is which.

I couldn’t. I never could.

Leonardo DiCaprio is Cobb, the principal character in the film. Cobb spins a top — like those you may have played with as a child — which helps him know if he is in a dream or in reality. The action of the top helps ground him. If the top spins and never falls, he is in a dream. If it falls he knows he is in reality.

Like Cobb, I think all of us carry tops of some kind in our lives. Instead of using the top to help us distinguish between dreams and reality, we use them for another reason — to give ourselves, our lives, context, which in turn nurtures meaning; or we use the tops just to remind us of our need for context.

Tops take on many forms. One person’s top may not be the same as another’s.

--My phone at the office rang late this afternoon. I answered and an excited voice on the other end suggested that the paper might be interested in a human interest story and that he would share it with me if I desired. “Of course” I replied. “We are always interested in good local story leads.”

He then — and I could see him beaming through the phone — told me that his 6-year-old shot a hole in one while golfing with him and his daughter this week and that he thought that the paper should know about it.

His son’s hole in one caught me off guard initially. I mean, it is a rather unique happening. Most people go their entire lives without shooting a hole in one. But I wasn’t exactly sure that it was “news” — at least whether or not it was really something “newsworthy.” But that’s not the point. The point is that a stranger reached out to share something personal and precious with me.

And my default was to judge instead of be thankful.

The top begins to wobble.

--Hatcher Hurd opens my door and informs me that we have an appointment at noon downtown — downtown Atlanta. He knows I hate to venture into the city so I think this must be something important. We maneuver through the traffic and almost an hour later arrive at an office building. We go up the elevator and enter an office through a heavy oak door where a dignified older man with white hair and a warm smile meets us. He greets Hatcher like he has known him since childhood and we are led into his own office where we sit in leather chairs facing him as he sits behind his desk. Then we talk for hours.

He tells stories. He shows us renderings and articles carefully clipped out of newspapers that he has kept in files. They are yellow with age. He talks about meeting with the Spruell family almost 50 years ago and at the kitchen table agreeing to buy their farm, which later becomes Perimeter Mall. He talks about building the first office buildings in Midtown, about building The Country Club of the South — the first gated northside community— and about donating the land for the Dunwoody YMCA and much of the land for the YMCA in Alpharetta. He constantly pulls out clippings. He sometimes pauses and is silent. We say very little. Instead, we listen, and we listen.

“Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow”

He keeps talking about water. “Find out about the water” he says. He is cryptic, and both Hatcher and I are puzzled. Time keeps passing and we keep listening.

Then abruptly he stands and it is clear that our “interview” has just come to an end. He walks us to the door where we shake hands. He thanks us for traveling to meet with him.

“What just happened?” I ask Hatcher as we leave. He is as puzzled as I am.

There is no story yet; but there is one so grand it would belong in a book.

See RAY, Page 9

OPINION

Ray: Continued from Page 8 About two weeks pass. Then I read in the paper that developer and community leader Jim Cowart has died.

The spin of the top slows and the colors on the top begin to emerge with more clarity like light spreading across clouds from an early sun.

--I am surprised when she walks into my office and asks if she can talk to me. I know her because she has delivered our newspapers for a number of years, but our relationship up to that point has been limited. While I nearly worship those who deliver our papers, I have rarely taken the time to really get to know them outside of our work setting.

Her husband has just died and I tell her how sorry I am.

There is silence, and then slowly, and with visible effort she finally begins to speak.

“Thank you,” she says. “I just wanted to come in and tell you how grateful I am to you. You see, delivering the paper has been a real help to us financially but it wasn’t until after my husband died that I have been able to really appreciate the gift that you gave me,” she says.

I listen but don’t understand.

She continues.

“You see, I had no idea that he was dying. We didn’t find out until right before the end. Now I understand how precious that newspaper route was. You

see, because of it I was able to spend so many hours together with him — good hours where we were able to talk and laugh and just be with each other. Were it not for the route, I would have missed that precious time with him. “ In silence we sit. Tears stream down my face. We hug. I thank her. She thanks me again. She walks out.

Time slows to a crawl then casts a shadow and freezes in-between light and darkness — between life and death — between my dreams and reality. Later, I am able to focus and walk out.

--Into life’s mysterious breach we all travel, sometimes in pitch darkness and other times in brilliant light. Our tops, like the one in “Inception,” in all their forms, incantations, and manifestations are always there to help connect us to the light we need to see through the darkness and understand, to help link us to what counts, what connects us to each other and to what is necessary to give us context and in so doing, sustain us.

The top has slowed enough to see each revolution now, as it fights a losing battle against gravity. It makes increasingly larger and larger circles on the rich oak tabletop — like the descent of a wounded raptor — as it decelerates. I hear it now.

The noise it makes grows louder and louder until it becomes as a vortex and displaces even the air left in the room.

The film cuts to black and ends with the top still spinning.

Letters to the editor:

Obey park regulations As a Milton resident and boutique horse farm owner, it comes as no surprise that our charming, equestrian community is experiencing rapid growth.

As a result, more people than ever are utilizing our amazing public parks.

Unfortunately, however, there is nothing more potentially catastrophic than encountering a loose dog on a mixed-use trail.

Last week, in Birmingham Park, my horse and I narrowly avoided a tragedy as an off-leash dog charged us, aggressively barking. Its owner watched dumbfounded as my horse leapt into the air, spun and bolted off the trail into the trees, narrowly avoiding catastrophic injury.

In fact, equestrians will agree, it was quite miraculous neither my horse nor I were injured in this harrowing ordeal. Even as experienced trail partners, nothing can prepare a horse and rider for a situation like this except for prevention and education.

Please observe the leash laws in Birmingham Park.

Additionally, drones are prohibited. Furthermore, had there been a serious injury incurred by either myself or my horse, I can’t help but believe the owner of the dog breaking the leash law would have been held liable.

Additionally, perhaps some signage to that effect, could save someone’s life. As a horseback rider and a dog owner, let’s work together so we can all safely enjoy the park! Please keep your dog on a leash or face the consequences.

Impersonator uses Next Door to stir political debate

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — One of the first lessons of internet safety is knowing not everybody is who they say they are. A Johns Creek woman learned that lesson the hard way when she discovered someone had been impersonating her on Next Door since 2014.

Next Door is a social networking service that connects people with others who live in their neighborhood. The platform includes crime news, business recommendations and items for sale.

The woman, whose name is not being disclosed for privacy concerns, never used the social media site until this January, after her daughter discovered someone had created an account using her name and address, but with a photo of a different woman.

To assign users to specific neighborhoods, Next Door requires users verify their address by using a phone billed to that address, by receiving a postcard at that address or by having another neighbor verify their identity.

While the impersonator could have found the victim’s name and address through online records, it is unknown

There’s a lot of political division right now. It seems like this account is intended to create more of a political divide, which is really frightening.” the victim’s daughter how the perpetrator got past Next Door’s other verification requirements.

Since 2014, a user has been posting to the Prestwick neighborhood page under the victim’s name, claiming to have lived at that address since 2006, although the victim didn’t move there until 2012.

“This person has been impersonating me since 2014, and now it’s 2019,” she said. “It’s already four, going on to five, years, and I didn’t know this profile existed.”

Some of the messages promote local businesses, but most of them are political. Some deal with national topics, like the Affordable Care Act or the border

wall, while others take aim at Johns Creek City Council members.

“There’s a lot of political division right now,” said the victim’s daughter.

“It seems like this account is intended to create more of a political divide, which is really frightening … when they’re arguing with people online about politics, they may not be talking to a real person.

Maybe that could be something we as a community could keep in mind.”

The victim said she wanted to encourage people to be more careful online and for neighborhood monitors on Next Door to be more vigilant about verifying who is in their group. Unlike other websites like Twitter, many users expect profiles on Next Door to be people they know in real life.

“My friend told me, ‘Oh, I trust them, because they’re my neighbors,’ but in this case, I don’t know who this person is,” the woman said.

Both mother and daughter said they are fearful because they do not know who is behind the account or what their motivations were.

“Her [the impersonator’s] opinions are left-leaning, OK, but if it were more provocative, maybe really, really left, then it could endanger me,” the victim

said. “People on the right know my address and they could come to my house to do whatever.”

She said she does not know anyone else who this has happened to, but she’s worried the problem may be widespread.

The victim contacted Next Door and explained the situation. Since then, the fake account has been removed from the Prestwick neighborhood but is still online. She said she has received no other word from Next Door.

She also sent an email to the Johns Creek Police’s tip line Jan. 4, the day after she discovered the fake account.

She said she has not been contacted by the police.

This is not the first time “trolls,” who stir up political discourse online, have made the news in Johns Creek. In September 2018, Mayor Mike Bodker and other City Council members took time out of their meeting to condemn cyber harassment.

Bodker said he has been threatened, his family has been attacked and he has been called names like pedophile, cradle robber and communist. He has said he would bring libel lawsuits against these anonymous posters if he knew their identity.

OPINION

Milton Arts Council can fill needed void I recently spoke with Bill Purdie, president of the new nonprofit Milton Arts Council, and he brought up an interesting point. Purdie heralded the Milton Theatre Company, JOE PARKER stating their producReporter tions are more on par joe@appenmediagroup.com with a professional troupe than a group of high school-aged teens. And with that, he asked a pertinent and burning question — where do these talented, experienced and driven students go to further pursue their passion for theatre?

Unfortunately, once their days at local high schools are over, the answer is not the city of Milton.

It could be argued that Milton is a young city and has not yet had the opportunity to build the foundation of its arts community. But that argument falls flat when you consider Johns Creek, also incorporated in 2006, has the

Johns Creek Arts Center, an Arts and Culture Board and an arts festival.

I don’t want to dismiss the Milton Literary Festival. It is a large, interesting and important celebration within the city. Unfortunately, it’s the only one.

And it would be hard to argue that Milton’s lack of arts programming or celebrations is due to a disinterest among residents. I have to believe there is a robust desire and interest to celebrate the arts in such a city as large, affluent and educated as Milton.

However, officials are understandably cautious about using taxpayer dollars

NorthFulton.com | Milton Herald | January 31, 2019 | 11

for public art cultivation or celebration, and that seemed to be the case when the Milton Cultural Arts Committee was disbanded soon after it was created. And that’s why I believe the creation of the Milton Arts Council is so vital.

The nonprofit already has plans to conduct community theatre productions, the first slated for this spring. There are also plans for a symphony orchestra, painting, sculpture, photography and crafts programming, and, to supplement the annual literary festival, writing programs and book clubs.

In the long-term, the council could allow Milton to join its North Fulton neighbors by creating a performing arts stage, an exhibit hall and classrooms.

The council’s goals are certainly ambitious, but why shouldn’t they be? It is an organization starting from scratch in a city that really has nothing to celebrate the arts beyond high school productions, live music at a few restaurants or the aforementioned literary festival. While those events certainly warrant praise for celebrating arts in the city, it’s still a drop in the paint bucket where cultivating an artistic community is concerned.

I do hope that through donations and volunteer work that the Milton Arts Council can reach its goals, because once the foundation is set, I believe the city can cultivate a talented, interested and passionate arts community.

Letter to the editor:

Newspapers should include Scouts more often I believe that there should be more articles about scouting in the newspaper. Scouts help out the community, and I think that people should be aware that there are people helping the community.

Also, Scouts help clean the community and make parks more enjoyable for people. Scouts work hard and very few make it to the highest rank, Eagle, and they should be recognized for achieving that rank. Scout leaders should also be given recognition for the hard work they do so Scouts can help the community. All in all, the scouting organization should be given more recognition for their hard work and effort.

We focus on the city of Alpharetta, but those on the outskirts would benefit from a strong chamber and a strong city.

Lisa Shippel, Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce chair 12 | Milton Herald | January 31, 2019

Chamber chair sets 2019 goals

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Lisa Shippel has plans for the local business community.

The new chair of the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce wants to spread the word of how a successful local business community benefits the whole city.

Shippel, who became chairwoman of the 370-member organization Jan. 1, has set her own goals for this year, and part of that includes concentrating on issues that foster a healthy business climate in the city.

SHIPPEL “If we have a strong chamber and strong businesses here, it helps the community, which will help other businesses indirectly, and hopefully help our members in return,” she said.

Shippel wants to increase membership this year by 100, and she said she’s been given the tools to accomplish that goal with an expanded board of directors and members willing to volunteer their time and services.

“It’s 100 percent energetic,” she said. “It has a great group of ambassadors that are very enthusiastic about going out, taking on new members and getting them on-boarded, showing them what the benefits are of being in the chamber.”

The Alpharetta Chamber just celebrated its fifth year, and Shippel said she hopes to continue the programs that have made it successful.

“We do a lot of networking,” she said. “We have monthly orientations for new members and for members of the community who have potential interest in joining the chamber. They can come once a month and see what we’re about.”

Each quarter the chamber hosts Coffee and Commerce, a breakfast that features a speaker on relevant topics related to Alpharetta.

The next breakfast event Feb. 7 will feature Alpharetta Community Development Director Kathi Cook who will be speaking along with the attorney handling the revitalization of North Point Mall.

“That should be very well attended because everyone wants to know what’s happening at North Point Mall,” Shippel said. “We’ve got Avalon. We’ve got the downtown City Center, and they’re both thriving areas, and the city’s working hard to come up with a plan for North Point.”

Shippel, an Alpharetta-based attorney specializing in real estate and estate planning, said chamber members encompass a wide area, from downtown to Avalon.

Some are from Roswell, south Forsyth and Johns Creek, she said.

“We focus on the city of Alpharetta, but those on the outskirts would benefit from a strong chamber and a strong city,” she said.

Residents also prosper with a strong business community, Shippel said.

“If they have good businesses in the city, it creates jobs,” she said. “It provides a better family life or personal life if you’re not spending three hours in a car to commute to Atlanta. There are opportunities here for the residents, which is wonderful.”

Local business growth came at an opportune time for Shippel, who set up her law office in Alpharetta in 2011 after 17 years at a small Roswell firm.

“I started my own business in 2011 in the middle of a downturn, when the market was horrible,” she said.

“I’ve been so fortunate. You take that leap and you’re afraid to go out on your own, but it’s been wonderful because my business has grown as the city has grown over the past eight years.”

Shippel is a solo practitioner with two full-time staff.

Her focus on business growth breaks traditional boundaries.

“I’m also a mom,” she said. “I’ve been a resident of Alpharetta for 25 years, so most of my personal friends are not in the business community. They’re moms.”

Shippel said she has brought some of her friends to chamber events to give them an idea of what businesses can do for a community.

“I’ve brought them to Coffee and Commerce,” she said. “I’ve brought them to Women Who Walk the Walk because I want them to see what a thriving business economy does for the city, and they’re always floored.

They didn’t know that this existed, these speakers and these events.”

Shutdown puts a pinch on some business loans

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA — More indications the partial government shutdown hit home last week when the Georgia Association of Business Brokers issued a statement saying the situation had created delays in some business sales.

“I’m in the final stages of closing a deal right now.

Fortunately our [Small Business Association] lender got an authorization number the night before the shutdown, so we will receive our funds,” said Dean Burnette, Georgia Association of Business Brokers president.

The GABB is the state’s only professional association of experts in the purchase and sale of businesses and franchises.

The SBA halted its program supporting 7(a) loans – designed for working capital, commercial buildings, equipment, business acquisitions, debt refinance and other eligible business uses – and for 504 loans for commercial properties on December 22, the day the government shutdown began.

The government reopened for service January 25, but another shutdown looms in two weeks if Congress and President Trump cannot agree on a budget.

Although the SBA program has resumed for now, there may be delays in processing the loans that piled up over the past month. The agency manages about 200 loans for working capital and 120 loans for commercial properties a day, amounting to roughly $200 million worth of loans for small and mid-size businesses.

“We definitely expect a backlog as SBA completes the processing of loans they had in house at the time of the shutdown,” said Susan J. Kite, vice president and SBA Business Development Officer at Renasant Bank. “This is in addition to all the loans which lenders from all over the country have approved in the last 30 days. The fact that there may be another shutdown in just a few weeks is disturbing, as borrowers and lenders do not know if their current projects will be approved prior to another shutdown.”

Our super city hosts Super Bowl Keep your All right my fellow Atlantans, get on your best behavior.

The world is watching. We are the center of the entertainment universe as the Super Bowl has officially rolled into town.

I usually get most Geoff smith excited about the Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com actual game. Halftime is when I walk around the party I’m at and say hello to everyone else gathered around the island in the kitchen and playing table shuffleboard in the basement. Or I take a quick glance at my sons and their friends playing football outside.

But this year is different. It’s different because the game is here. Our folks are hosting. The blimp shots will be of our Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The skyline shots will be of Atlanta. Major television broadcasts will be set up all over downtown.

Estimates on how many people will travel to the city are all over the place, but it seems like at least 125,000 people will come from out of town and need a place to stay. For fun I went on Hotels. com and tried to book a room for that Saturday and Sunday. The closest I could get to downtown Atlanta were some apartments north of the city that were renting for $1,388 a night. There was a Super 8 by Wyndham outside of Decatur for $299 a night. Hotels up here in Roswell and Alpharetta are mostly booked.

Sports economists have estimated $185 million in direct economic impact to the metro area. Others have estimated almost double that.

The party officially starts next Monday in State Farm Arena with Super Bowl Opening Night where fans can go and get autographs from Patriots and Rams players and get photos with mascots and cheerleaders. Throughout the week, there will be free concerts in Centennial Olympic Park. And for the three

While the immediate economic impact is around $185 million, the delayed impact could be much greater. days leading up to the game, there will be concerts with stars such as Bruno Mars, Ludacris and Aerosmith at State Farm Arena.

Shaquille O’Neal is hosting a party at The Battery with national recording artists. Martina McBride is hosting a party at the Cobb Galleria Centre.

There’s a “Leather & Laces” party with Victoria’s Secret Angels. Jamie Foxx has a party going on at The Fairmont, Sports Illustrated has one going on at The College Football Hall of Fame with Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne, and Rolling Stone magazine has a party at the Goat Farm with top acts. DirectTV has a party at the High-End Entertainment Complex built just for the Super Bowl in Atlantic Station with the Foo Fighters performing. Guy Fieri is hosting an all-day tailgating party with some of the country’s best chefs. The amount of activity, and number of A-list celebrities that will be packed into Atlanta this one week is jaw-dropping.

While the immediate economic impact is around $185 million, the delayed impact could be much greater.

Economic development professionals in Atlanta are expecting an effect similar to what the 1996 Olympics did for our city. Those Olympics put a spotlight on Atlanta and stamped it as an international, world-class city. After the Olympics, the city saw a mass of corporate relocations to the area and an explosion of in-town growth in the various entertainment and business districts.

As such, Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce President Hala Moddelmog and her team are planning to take full advantage of this opportunity. While all

eyes are on the Super Bowl right now, they’ll be working tirelessly to make sure everyone sees a city they want to be a part of.

For them, this kicked off officially on January 22 when Arthur Blank and a host of Georgia officials rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Since then, the rush has been on to make sure every broadcast and every presentation of our city shows how awesome we really are.

The city has exploded since the last time we hosted a Super Bowl 19 years ago. We’ve become a tech capital of the country, a film capital, a restaurant mecca, and an international center.

Whereas 19 years ago we worked hard to promote the city, this year we’ll be working hard to show it off.

MARTA increased its staff by 40 people for this week and will be running 24 hours starting Thursday. So hop a train and go to town and soak up the Super Bowl glamour. And while you’re there, let everyone know how awesome Atlanta is!

technology up to date When was the last time you updated your technology in your small business?

Have you upgraded your computers, servers, printers, scanners and software recently? A lot of small businesses rely dick jones heavily on technology Founder & President Jones Simply Sales to run and grow their small business, but often times have issues because it’s old, out-of-date, or doesn’t work at all.

A good starting point for identifying opportunities to refresh your technology is doing a complete inventory of everything you have, and how long you’ve had it.

Knowing how many computers you have and how old they are, in addition to what operating system they are running, will allow you to make decisions on what to upgrade. Some computers may just need an upgrade to the operating system, while others may need to be trashed and replaced.

A full inventory of technology may include printers, scanners, telephone systems, video monitors, servers, smart phones, GPS systems and the list goes on and on. With such a long list of technology, it won’t be possible to replace everything at one time. Making decisions on what to replace, what to upgrade, and what to repair can help you save money and better manage your technology budget.

Small businesses often gain a competitive advantage by leveraging their technology. You can reap these benefits if your technology is operating correctly and serving the purpose you want. Refreshing your technology, especially in the beginning of the new year, will help you to avoid problems and enable your employees to do their jobs better.

Cambridge grad begins fundraiser to launch adventure show

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Cambridge High School alum Zach Chaloux is looking to make a splash in the entertainment industry by launching his own show. Chaloux, currently a student at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, along with fellow Cambridge grads Will DiCarlo, Jacob Ulman and Richmond Thomas, have launched a Kickstarter campaign to get their comedic travel show off the ground.

Chaloux will have a leading role in the show along with fellow cast members DiCarlo and Ulman, with Thomas serving as producer.

“We are Milton born and raised, and if this pilot gets picked up, we think it would be really cool if there were people in the mainstream who could represent Milton,” Chaloux said.

The group, along with five others, began their fundraising campaign to create a pilot episode of the show which they will pitch to production companies.

Dubbed “Around the World,” the show would follow the group of six as they traverse the world to delve into voodoo in New Orleans and the Caribbean, travel the length of the journey in Lord of the

Rings in New Zealand and race across the Great Wall of China.

“We want to showcase the most beautiful places in the world and explore the most interesting mysteries,” Chaloux said. “We plan to handle everything on the show with as much respect as possible and to bring in the humor when appropriate.”

While the show will feature beautiful locations and gripping adventures, the heart of the production is the group of friends experiencing these situations together, Chaloux said.

“The group themselves each have unique and entertaining characteristics,” Chaloux said. “One acts as the leader who keeps everyone focused, me, while there’s another one that’s a comedian with over 100,000 followers on Instagram. And while they are all different and unique, they also have a rare chemistry that only a genuine friend group would have. So even if you take away the crazy adventures you still have a relatable core with the group of friends.”

Another intriguing aspect to the show, Chaloux said, is watching the group deal with their own insecurities and experience the adventure of traveling the world.

“While you are laughing you are also

watching people grow up right before your eyes,” Chaloux said.

The Kickstarter campaign has a goal of $10,000 which will fund a pilot episode the group hopes will be a springboard for reaching its long-term goals.

“The ultimate plan is to use the pilot to pitch not only the story but our personalities,” Chaloux said. “While we end up going on crazy adventures, we start humbly in the ‘prologue,’ which consists of me traveling the country to gather the group for the adventures of the show. I see it as a literal call to adventure, where you get unique and interesting character introductions while also being a great showcase for the group as a whole. You also get introduced to the main theme of the story which is dealing with the fears and insecurities about going out into the world for the first time. While the episode goes on, however, hijinks ensue as the people get themselves into hilarious situations around the country.”

The show will also provide Chaloux with the opportunity to combine his passion for story-telling, adventure and showcasing character relationships.

“I honestly cannot remember a time when I didn’t want to pursue film,” he said. “It’s always been the only thing I’ve been passionate about. I have a love for

Computer museum offers glimpse of future possibilities

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell will become the home to one of the largest collections of computers and artifacts from the digital revolution this year.

The Computer Museum of America is expected to open July 20 at the Roswell Town Center on the corner of Holcomb Bridge Road and Alpharetta Street. While it will contain many of the familiar trappings found in a conventional museum, the plans call for several unique features more in tune with the likes of the Fernbank Museum of Natural History.

And this is no coincidence. Founder Lonnie Mimms said he was inspired by his trips to Fernbank as a child to make the Computer Museum of America into a gathering and learning space to inspire people of all ages.

“Lonnie wants to create a space where anyone, from any background, of any age, any whatever, can come here and be immersed in the creative process,” said museum Chief Advocacy Officer Todd Peneguy. “They can stand on the shoulders of the digital giants, hear their stories, understand how they tick…

And maybe some of them will be inspired to be the next generation of innovators.”

The museum will eventually house several technology exhibits as well as classrooms, a gathering space, a research library and a coffee shop. It will also host training seminars and classes for people of all ages to learn technological skills.

All of the technology was collected and donated to the museum by Lonnie throughout his life.

“It’s more than just a technology museum, it’s an innovation center,” said Vice President Karin Mimms. “People think, ‘oh, it’s just computers.’ But it goes into so many other areas, because computers have

touched every industry known to man.”

Exhibits will include the moon landing, a timeline of modern computing, IBM and Apple technology, the first arcade games, a Byte magazine archive and Cray supercomputers. Many of the themebased exhibits will rotate about every 18 months.

At any given time, visitors will only see about 1 percent of the total collection, Karin said.

One of the crown jewels of the museum is its Cray supercomputer collection, named after the father of supercomputers Seymour Clay. It is arguably the largest collection of these supercomputers, which have been used in military defense, computer animation and weather forecasting.

“That technology is 20 years old, but it’s still used and still relevant today,” Peneguy said. “It was 20 years ahead of its time.”

The museum’s goal, to preserve the past and inspire the next generation, is encapsulated by its tag line: Innovation past forward.

“Meaning, preserve the past and inspire the next generation by passing it forward,” Peneguy said. “As we continue to build out, we will have that juxtaposition of past tech, current tech and future tech.”

Some of the more modern technology the museum will incorporate will include virtual reality as well as technology that never made it onto the market for one reason or another or is still a prototype.

For example, Lonnie was one of the first to obtain a Magic Leap, the first wireless augmented reality technology, because he was an early funder, Karin said.

Phase I will open up the first floor of the museum with a grand opening that coincides with the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. The grand open-

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth Sheriff’s Office Deputy 1st Class Rod Reeves is back on duty after recovering from a car crash more than a year ago.

It was a long road to recovery, requiring five surgeries and months of physical therapy.

In the early morning hours of Nov. 18, 2017, Reeves was on patrol when he heard a call issued to be on the lookout for an impaired motorist.

Reeves pulled over on the shoulder of Ga. 400 to scan for the vehicle. While Reeves was observing traffic, an alleged drunk driver slammed into the back of Reeves’ patrol car at a high rate of speed.

Reeves was trapped inside his car and unconscious. A tow truck driver saw the vehicles on the side of the road, stopped and called for help.

Forsyth County Fire Department arrived and worked quickly to get him out of the vehicle. Reeves regained semi-consciousness, but was in extreme pain.

Over the next 14 months, Reeves underwent five surgeries, including a total hip replacement in June, and completed months of physical therapy.

Reeves returned to full duty with the sheriff’s office on Jan. 7. Sheriff Ron Freeman told Reeves he could pick whatever SUV he wanted if he came back to full duty. So Reeves received a 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe, which he said is safer than the car he had during the crash “It’s incredible,” he said. “It feels good to get back to doing what I enjoy, which is serving the people of Forsyth County.”

He was working patrol at nights for the South Precinct, but he has been

reassigned to the Problem-Oriented Policing Unit for the North Precinct.

“I’m excited,” Reeves said. “It’s nothing I’m really used to, ’cause typically I’ve been on the tactical side of things. I did SWAT for several years where I was on the entry team. I was a sniper for several years. I’ve always been used to the tactical aspect of it.”

Over the more than a year it took Reeves to recover, the outpouring of support from the community was strong.

One of the most notable honors he received happened in February of 2018 when the Sheriff’s Office bestowed him with a Purple Heart.

“I couldn’t even measure the amount of support I got from the community, agency and outside agencies, even outside of the state,” Reeves said. “It was incredible. It was an eye-opener for me because I had only been on service for five months. No one really knew who I was until this accident. After they found out it was someone associated with the sheriff’s department, everyone opened up their kitchens and wallets and did everything they could to help me and my family.”

Reeves is married and has three children. All were impacted by the crash.

“It impacted the two youngest harder because they weren’t used to me not being active,” he said. “I’m always either in the gym, doing something around the house or at work. I went from that to basically sitting in one chair all the time.

Eventually, once they saw I was putting forth the effort to get better, it was a little easier for them to accept it.”

The driver of the car that struck Reeves, Aaron Riley Russell, 28, was driving on a suspended and revoked driver’s license at the time.

Buddy Bags spread comfort to children in crisis

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Major crises and upheaval are hard to deal with at any age, but for children, it can be especially traumatic.

The Buddy Bag Ministry, started in 2013 at Alpharetta First United Methodist Church, eases the difficulties by providing children with comforting items after a crisis.

“As a school administrator I had, unfortunately, seen numerous children in crisis,” said Buddy Bag Ministry volunteer Pamela Schiftic. “Family deaths, house fires, accidents, serious illnesses — so many things happen where a child is in distress and needs comforting. At our church (Alpharetta Methodist) a small group of us began looking at a bag of comforting items as a way to serve Christ through comforting children.”

For each child they serve, infant through teenager, Buddy Bag Ministry gives a canvas tote bag with a hand-stitched teddy bear, a handmade blanket, a reading book, a coloring and activity book, crayons and a folder with paper for writing.

Some of the common recipients include foster children, hurricane and tornado victims in multiple states, house fire victims, emergency room patients, and inmate’s children. Local agencies who have benefited from the program include the Alpharetta Public Safety Department, Cobb County Court System, Dreamweavers, Drake House, Forsyth County Sheriff’s Department, Jesse’s House, Johns Creek Police, Milton Police

JULIA GROCHOWSKI/Herald

Each Buddy Bag includes comforting items for children, including a hand-made teddy bear, blanket, sketchbook, crayons and book.

and My Sister’s Place.

“The Buddy Bag goal is to comfort children in crisis as Christ comforted people,” Schiftic said. “There is a Bible verse about caring for widows and children. We want to take care of as many children as possible in their time of crisis or need.”

The Bible verse that drives the mission is Matthew 19:14: “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’”

The first year the ministry was founded, volunteers handed out 32 bags. They have since given out over 3,600. And a third of those alone were distributed last year.

“We are always expanding,” Schiftic said. “We continue to hear of more and more needs. We have no boundaries on where we serve, so our bags go many places. Some agencies we donate bags to have increased their requests even during better economic times.”

Anyone can volunteer with the Buddy Bag Ministry in several ways, including sewing the bears. But that’s not the only way people can help.

“People often think that if they don’t sew that they can’t volunteer,” Schiftic said. “Not true. We need people to do all sorts of jobs like stuffing folders, organizing books, etc.”

The ministry meets every Tuesday morning at Alpharetta First United Methodist Church on 69 North Main Street.

Anyone who wants to sew the teddy bears can do so at home, and all materials are provided by the group.

They are always looking for donations like crayons, coloring books, sketch pads, construction paper, and new and gently used books, Schiftic said.

For more information, to donate or get involved, contact Schiftic at 678-488-3444 or ronpam3849@ hotmail.com.

Cambridge boys soccer striving for another memorable season

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com Jay B. Bender, M.D. Board Certified in PM&R & Pain Mgmt.

11660 Alpharetta Hwy. • Bldg 600 • Ste 630 Roswell, GA 30076

MILTON, Ga. — Cambridge boys soccer head coach Bryan Wallace said after the program’s run to the Class 6A finals last year, there is only one step the Bears have yet to take — a state championship. While Wallace and his program is not looking that far into the future, the Bears certainly have confidence heading into their 2019 campaign.

“We were very good last year, and I think we’re even better this year,” Wallace said.

Cambridge’s self-assurance is buoyed with the return of eight starters, including 2018 Region 7-AAAAAA Player of the Year Ethan Rose who returns to the

backfield for his senior season.

Rose will be joined by Harrison Fields, Jack Tindle, goalkeeper Nic Sides and defensive midfielder Treyson Rielly who led the Bears to eight shutouts and one goal allowed per game in 2018.

“I think the defense is going to be the strength and backbone of our unit,” Wallace said. “And these are not just defenders, but guys who can get in on the attack and possess. They are the most technical group of defenders I’ve seen in 15 years of coaching.”

While their defenders and midfield are rich with experience, the Bears will look for some new talent to emerge to lead the offensive charge.

Wallace said he is looking to midfield-

er Omar Dhrif and forward Jabar Obeid to lead the attack. Dhrif was second on the team in scoring last season despite limited playing time, and Obeid is back in the lineup after missing all of last season due to injury. Wallace said Cambridge has emphasized athletic, fast play since the program’s inception, and he thinks goals will come this year despite a fairly new attacking roster.

“I think we are more athletic than we were last year,” Wallace said. “We are really fast and we play fast. We’ve spent six years emphasizing speed of play, and these guys have had years of that drilled into their heads. They know how we want to move the ball, try and possess, play fast, and move the ball quickly. These guys get it.”

With the program’s rise to state runner-up last season, Wallace said stronger programs are now open to taking on the Bears, and Cambridge’s challenging nonregion slate will prove it. The Bears open the season Feb. 5 against Carrolton, a 17-win team last year, ahead of matchups with strong squads from Roswell, Creekview, Milton and Richmond Hill.

“Our offseason schedule is designed to challenge us as much as possible,” Wallace said. “It’s entirely possible we lose some of those games, but they will prepare us for region play.”

Region play for the Bears is the gauntlet of 7-AAAAAA, in which Cambridge will be challenged by Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Centennial, Pope and Chattahoochee, the two-time defending state champs who downed the Bears in overtime in the state finals last season.

Wallace said the Bears have focused on continual improvement in the last six seasons, and while they are confident in their ability, the current focus is not another run at the state finals.

“At this point, titles are not talked about,” Wallace said. “We talk about playing up to our standard. Our goal from the first day we started the program was to become a premier soccer destination. We have established that standard, and whatever the results are, we have established something lasting.

As long as we have players buying into that and holding themselves to those standards, the success will come.”

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home.

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers.

Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
