Coronavirus spurs Milton to close meetings, cancel events Municipal Court doors also shut until at least April 13

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and plans to mitigate its potential spread in the city by canceling all events and meetings scheduled in the upcoming weeks.

Last week, the city announced its list of closings and cancellations and set up a website (cityofmiltonga.us/ coronavirus) to help keep residents informed after several Fulton County residents have confirmed cases of the virus.

“We at the city of Milton have been coordinating closely with our local, state and federal partners in recent weeks to learn more about the novel coronavirus COVID-19 and learn how best to curb its spread, with the public’s safety our top priority,” said Milton Emergency Manager Matthew Marietta. “We have also taken some steps to keep employees healthy and safe with as little disruption as possible to our citizens.

“The city has also taken several steps to do our part in helping mitigate the potential spread. This includes canceling many activities, events, programs and meetings that could draw significant numbers of people within a confined area.”

All city meetings for the rest of the month have been cancelled. That includes the Board of Zoning Appeals,

Equestrian Committee, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and Disability Awareness Committee meetings all scheduled for this week. The March 23 Greenspace Advisory Board meeting was also canceled.

Other events were also canceled including the hazardous household chemical and paint collection scheduled for March 28, and the Community Egg Hunt on April 4.

The city’s various departments, such as Public Works, Finance and Community Development, will continue to operate, but some employees are working remotely.

However, the city’s Parks and Recreation department has put a stop to all its programming until at least April 12.

Programs and sports impacted include baseball, basketball, dance, lacrosse, music classes, Tai Chi and tennis.

The Milton Senior Center is also closed until at least March 27.

While Milton’s public parks will remain open, the city will not rent out its indoor and outdoor facilities until April 12. The city will “reevaluate the

situation” in early April. Officials could then decide to extend the cancellations if warranted.

All Fulton County libraries, including the Milton Library, are closed until further notice, and all upcoming events will be rescheduled. Patrons are being asked to not return books while the library is closed. Any late fees incurred during this time will be waived.

Fulton Country Superior Court will not conduct jury trials until April 11, and Milton Municipal Court will not be in session until at least April 13. The city said if you had been scheduled to appear in court before April 13, check your mail for information on a rescheduled date.

Milton Police are urging residents to handle routine matters online or by phone. The department is stressing that residents should always call 911 in emergency situations, but any matter than can be handled without face-toface interaction should be done online or by phone. The includes requesting police reports, paying any fines or asking routine questions. When possible,

Milton Police will compile reports over the phone.

Marietta said the city’s Fire Department will continue to operate normally to prevent and react to emergencies, including medical calls.

“Still, in this unique time given the widespread efforts to treat and curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, we do ask for the public’s help,” Marietta said. “We want to make sure we are answering the right types of calls – for your well-being and the well-being of others, including members of our department. If you have flu-like symptoms, whenever possible you should call a medical provider first. That professional can direct you what you should do next, whether to go to a medical facility, stay at home or call 911 to get immediate assistance.”

City Hall, police headquarters and fire stations will be open and operating, but the buildings will be closed to the public and non-employees. Milton is also stressing its residents take all precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“We recommend that our citizens heed the advice of organizations like the CDC through smart ‘social distancing,’ which involves trying as best you can to avoid large gatherings and interactions with those who might have this coronavirus,” Marietta said. “We also encourage good hygiene, like washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and increased cleaning measures like regularly cleaning frequently touched surfaces. The city offers several resources with helpful advice on its website, and more are available at CDC.gov.”

Fulton closes schools until further notice District officials report third staff member tests positive for virus

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com The school year may have effectively ended for nearly 94,000 students in the Fulton County School System with the decision to shutter schools until further notice due to fears over the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Fulton students join approximately 1.6 million public school students in 174 school districts across Georgia who will remain home for the foreseeable future.

Only a handful of the state’s 212 school districts remained open this week.

Early Monday, State School Superintendent Richard Woods announced cancelation of Georgia Milestones EOGs and EOCs, the Georgia Alternate Assessment/GAA 2.0, and all other required testing.

The epicenter of the coronavirus fears in schools began here in the Fulton County School System last week when two South Fulton teachers tested positive for COVID-19. That prompted the immediate shutdown of the district’s 106 schools for two days of deep-cleaning.

The day students returned to school, the trajectory of the outbreak changed with Gov. Brian’s Kemp’s “call to action” last Thursday. In a late day press conference, Kemp asked those involved in public education and child care to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

“You should consider closing day

cares, schools or school districts as early as tomorrow (March 13) for the next two weeks,” Kemp said.

Within an hour of the press conference, the Fulton School Board held an emergency phone meeting where they quickly agreed to close all schools and administrative offices until further notice.

“We recognize the hardship this decision places on many families but believe it is in the public’s best interest if it means we can contribute to protecting our students and the community’s health and well-being,” Fulton Supt.

Mike Looney said.

School officials said the action is being taken to slow the “rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus” which has infected nearly 100 Georgians over the past two weeks. The first death from the virus oc-

curred March 12.

Over the weekend, public health officials confirmed a third staff member in a South Fulton school tested positive for coronavirus.

The Fulton School Board will meet Thursday to finalize a plan for when students will be back in school. The decision may be complicated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which just recommended all gatherings over 50 people canceled for the next eight weeks.

Fulton School officials acknowledged closing schools has significant impact on families – from students who rely on meal plans at the school, to working parents who now face childcare issues – but said it was the right decision to make in

He noted students will be expected to complete online learning assignments assigned by their classroom teachers during the break.

Hardest hit may be student athletes, artists and academics who now face weeks of cancelled events, including college admission tests and theater productions, as well as possible disruptions to planned functions such as proms and graduations.

Paula Perque, a science teacher at Northwestern Middle School, said she is proud of the district and its teachers who are pulling together to ensure learning continues.

During the closure, Northwestern plans to teach a lesson a day in one subject only, because families with multiple students may need to share computer time.

“I teach science, so my day is Thursday, and I must be available for students that day to answer questions,” noted Perque, who has been a teacher for 28 years. “Tackling one subject a day won’t stress out the kids as much and gives the other family members computer time if needed.”

News to know during the shutdown Meal Distribution Student meal distribution began this week for students impacted by school closures. In North Fulton, children can receive meals from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Mimosa Elementary in Roswell, and Haynes Bridge Road Middle School in Alpharetta.

For those arriving in cars, meals will be brought out to the vehicle. For those arriving on foot, officials ask people to not gather in large groups as you wait for meals to be brought out. Meals cannot be consumed on site.

Meals are only for children under 18

(or individuals with special needs under age 21). Should other family members require meals, Fulton Schools is partnering with the Atlanta Food Bank and other non-profit partners to supplement those meals.

For more information visit www. fultonschools.org.

Remote Learning Fulton Schools has developed a remote learning plan, aligned to the Georgia Standards of Excellence, allowing students to continue their classes from home during the district closure. Lessons will be offered both in digital format, as well as non-digital options for students without access to the internet or for curriculum materials not available online.

Lessons plans were implemented for the week of March 16–20, and will continue the following weeks if needed.

Students and parents will receive information directly from their schools and teachers about their specific remote learning plans. For more information visit www.fultonschools.org.

New cases of COVID-19 Any new cases of staff members testing positive for the coronavirus will be reported by public health agencies.

District leaders are asking employees to continue self-reporting to the district’s Human Resources division to allow the district to monitor cases internally.

Everyone counts: Fulton County urges residents to fill out census Population counts fund public projects

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The U.S. Census rolls around only once every 10 years, but it can provide crucial information that determines federal funding for public services, like scholarships, Medicaid, transportation projects, libraries and schools.

Fran Phillips-Calhoun, intergovernmental and interagency affairs manager for Fulton County government, spoke at the March 12 Roswell Rotary Club meeting about the importance of the Decennial head count.

“We only have one time each decade, and only one chance, to get it right,” Phillips-Calhoun said. “Not everyone was counted in the 2010 census, and we had to live with those numbers for 10 years… This is really the most authoritative set that our federal government uses for everything that we need. If we do not provide this information to the government, we are robbing ourselves.”

Fulton County estimates that each person counted in the census amounts to roughly $2,300 in annual fed-

eral funding for Georgia. That’s almost $23,000 in lost funds for one uncounted person before the next census.

Those numbers add up quickly, Phillips-Calhoun said. It’s estimated that about 72 percent of Georgians responded in the last census, resulting in an annual loss of $300 million per year for the state, she said.

The census numbers also count for fair representation at all levels of government.

®

Phillips-Calhoun addressed some fears residents may have over sharing information on the census, saying the data, by law, is kept confidential.

“I will assure you that I see much more information on Facebook and other social media than what you will provide in the census,” she said.

All census data, for example, is stripped of respondents’ names.

And all Census Bureau staff, including those who go door-to-door, take a lifetime oath to protect the personal information. Any violation carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and/or up to $250,000 in fines.

“What the Census Bureau is really interested in is the data and not the who,” Phillips-Calhoun said. “[The mailers] will say ‘resident.’ It will not say your name. They are not interested in your name.”

Phillips-Calhoun cautioned that some scammers may attempt to take advantage of the 2020 census and gave some tips to use as a precaution.

The Census Bureau will never ask for someone’s Social Security number, bank account information, credit card numbers, money donations or contact you on behalf of a political party, she said. Additionally, cybersecurity teams

made the decision to hold online learning the week of March 16-20 and cancelled all events, including athletics, beginning March 13.

On March 12, Georgia High School Association Executive Director Robin Hines issued a statement the state literary competition scheduled for March 14 and March 21 were postponed, and the organization recommended all its member schools suspend spring sports.

The GHSA does not oversee the regular seasons for spring sports, only state tournaments and state meets, so the decision to suspend play remains with individual school districts. Both Fulton County Schools and Forsyth County Schools responded soon after the GHSA statement and Gov. Brian Kemp’s urging school districts to close if they felt it was “prudent.”

Local teams’ region opponents will also be out of action with the closure of schools in Cobb, Cherokee, Gwinnett and DeKalb counties.

Some local private schools also closed their doors and suspended sports.

Mount Pisgah Christian School was on spring break March 9-13 and has elected to remain closed until March 23 at last word. The move cancelled baseball, golf, lacrosse, tennis, soccer, and track and field competitions slated for this week.

On March 13, Blessed Trinity Catholic High School announced it would hold online learning days March 16-27.

The school announced as a part of its closure that all extracurricular activities, including sports, were cancelled through March 27.

King’s Ridge and Fellowship Christian are also closed for at least the next two weeks, and all sporting events have been cancelled.

The cancellation of hundreds of games throughout the state has presented the GHSA with an unprecedented situation in which the organization will have to decide how to continue the spring sport season on an expedited schedule, if play resumes.

Most local programs have seen several game/meet cancellations due to weather, and most have only played a few region games.

It is a similar situation for most soccer teams, with the regular season scheduled to end on April 16 ahead of the state tournament. The tennis and baseball regular seasons are set to conclude the same week. Lacrosse and golf seasons were to end April 25 and May 5.

Some teams, including Milton and Forsyth County schools in Region 5-AAAAAAA, have yet to start region play in baseball.

Rains frazzled baseball teams before shutdown

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — School closings due to COVID-19 have added to the long list of cancellations and postponements local baseball teams have already endured.

Atlanta saw nearly 11 inches of rain in February, more than double the monthly average covering the last 30 years. Already, the area has received about 40 percent of its annual rainfall.

While the weather is wreaking havoc on all high school spring sports, baseball has been hit especially hard.

Days without rain have been sparse, and soggy fields are not getting enough time to dry out before more rain moves through. Some local programs, including Johns Creek and Cambridge, have seen nearly 30 cancellations or postponements for their freshman, JV and varsity teams in the one month since opening day.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my 25 years of coaching,” Johns Creek head coach Billy Nicholson said.

Beside lost playing time, Nicholson said one of the biggest issues the rain has brought is the domino effect cancellations.

“We can move things around, but we are seeing now that umpires may not be able to cover another game,” Nicholson said. “If they have to pull umpires off the JV or freshman game, then it creates more dominos to find another date for the freshman or JV team. There are a lot of moving pieces, and it’s a little overwhelming.”

The Gladiators also face the challenge of being one of the few programs in the area that does not have an indoor facility to use when the rain is falling.

Nicholson said because of the location of the field, the city of Johns Creek and Fulton Country Schools have stipulations on the design of such a facility.

“Because of where we are, we can’t just throw up an indoor barn,” he said.

Johns Creek has been able to get some practice in at the Grand Slam Sports Center down the road from the school, which has been “very helpful,” according to Nicholson. But the team’s limited time on the field has been frustrating.

“We have had to use a lot of games as practices,” Nicholson said. “Something like a bunt coverage, you have to practice in a game situation, but if you mess it up in a game, it counts.”

Things have been a bit better for Cambridge, but far from ideal.

TATE CLEMENTS, owner, Nell’s Produce Market

12 | Milton Herald | March 19, 2020

Community rallies to support Newtown family business

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — After permitting problems threw the future of Nell’s Produce Market into question, patrons of the longtime Newtown establishment rallied to their support.

Owner Tate Clements said he has had a few sleepless nights over the past week, but he is optimistic that the City of Johns Creek and Nell’s have come to an agreement that will allow him to open for the season on April 1.

In 1988, Nell Proctor opened a produce stand off of Mount Vernon Road in Dunwoody. In 1997, her family opened a second location at the corner of Old Alabama Road and Nesbit Ferry Road which is now in Johns Creek. Now in her 80s, Proctor still runs the stand in Dunwoody, and her grandson, Clements, operates the Johns Creek location.

“My mom did it for years, and she retired before my grandmother did,” Clements said. “I was able to take over my mom’s half of the business back in 2008, and I’ve been running the Johns Creek location ever since.”

For decades, Nell’s Produce has sold fresh fruit and vegetables from April through September. More recently, the business has extended its season, selling pumpkins in October and Christmas trees in December.

Because it was founded before Johns Creek was incorporated, Nell’s Produce exists in a grey area called “legally nonconforming.” Properties that were built before the city wrote its codes are grandfathered in, meaning they do not have to comply with the city’s zoning regulations so long as they stay in operation and their site does not expand.

However, Nell’s Produce is more

NELL’S PRODUCE/SPECIAL

Located at the corner of Old Alabama Road and Nesbit Ferry Road, Nell’s Produce Market offers fresh fruit and vegetables seasonally. complicated than most legally nonconforming cases, Johns Creek Community Development Director Ben Song said.

At issue is a 12-by-24-foot shed that Nell’s Produce added in 2014 to house coolers. The city says it violates code.

“Without coolers I’m limited in carrying certain things,” Clements said.

“Leafy greens like lettuce, they just melt in the summer heat.”

Clements said that at the time, he talked to the planning department about the shed, but never received a formal permit. The city says because of the temporary nature of the business, a permanent structure is not allowed.

“The shed is an illegal structure,”

Song said. “It wasn’t permitted. It doesn’t meet setback requirements. It doesn’t meet the zoning ordinance related to building materials.”

Further complicating matters is that Nell’s Produce has been operating with a seasonal business license. In Johns Creek, those licenses are for businesses that are open for a few months. Nell’s is open most of the year.

Clements said in the first few years after the city incorporated, it was convenient not to have to drive down to Atlanta for permitting. However, as the business grew and the permitting staff changed, the process became a headache.

“I’ve been dreading going to City Hall every year to get the permits,” Clements said. “It’s not consistent from year to year — How long can I be there for? How many permits do I have to apply for?”

Even the Community Development director seemed to have trouble untangling the red tape surrounding Nell’s Produce.

“Every year they’ve come in, it’s been evolving,” Song said. “So many hands have touched this, in terms of their request for their permits, and it appears that different approvals may have been given.”

This year, when Clements went in for his seasonal permit, it seemed like he would not be able to open, even though his season was set to start in a few weeks.

He shared the news on Facebook, and his story garnered dozens of shares and comments on Facebook and Next Door. Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker said he received 20 to 30 emails on the subject, and one Nell’s patron even spoke during public comment at the March 9 City Council meeting.

“I’m overwhelmed,” Clements said. “It just shows how blessed I am to have the support from the customers. I just feel so grateful and appreciative of everything they’ve done.”

Song stepped in quickly to understand the unique situation and reach an agreement that will allow Nell’s Produce to open for the 2020 season as usual, though the shed will have to be gone by the time its permit expires in December.

“I feel very encouraged now,” Clements said. “If we go through with what I think will go through, I think we’ll actually have more stability in the future.

Hopefully we’ll have another successful season.”

“All three of my children are ELP graduates from 2017-2019. As high school juniors facing college decisions, ELP helped expand their understanding of our North Fulton community and its structure which helped guide their career interests. The contacts made with fellow students, parents and community leaders have already proven beneficial for each of them.”

Emerging Leaders (ELP) is a yearlong high school program for students who wish to develop leadership skills, identify and address community issues and interact with local leaders. Students will enjoy a combination of interactive lectures, discussions, site visits, community service, and networking opportunities.

Communicating to employees, customers during scary times

By KEITH BOWERMASTER Guest columnist Whether it’s a natural disaster, a criminal incident such as a mass shooting or fraud, or even a global panBOWERMASTER demic, every business — no matter the size — will at some point experience an event which could have a substantial impact on its survival.

Large companies have crisis plans outlining the steps to be taken to mitigate the impact of an incident, which includes communicating to key audiences. However, many small or midsize companies lack such a plan.

To help you mitigate the pitfalls of communication with employees and customers during scary times, now or in the future, here are seven steps to follow.

Assemble a team: Whenever you take on a major project or initiative, you always assemble your top team to strategize and execute. The same is true when communicating during a crisis. Bring together a small, influential group of decision makers who touch all aspects of your business to create the strategy and make decisions.

Identify and prioritize: Take a deep look at your business and determine exactly who are all of the audiences who could be impacted by a change in your business. Other than the obvious employees and customers, this could include government and community officials, potential customers, contractors, etc. Then, put them in groups to determine the amount of communication they require and the type of information they should receive.

Consistent channels: It’s important your audiences know from where (and who) they will receive updated information. Decide whether an e-newsletter or in-person meetings will work best, but know anything sent via email can (and probably will) be forwarded.

Also, establish the cadence of when information will be sent, such as the beginning or end of the day, and stick to that schedule.

One voice: Along with consistent channels and timing, there should be one entity or individual, such as Human Resources or the CEO him/herself, who delivers all information during a crisis.

Open, honest messaging: Most companies talk openly and honestly with their employees and customers in regards to performance, deliveries, issues, etc. year-round, so the same

should be true during a crisis. Share the facts which are available, being sure to keep personal or proprietary information safeguarded. Be honest, and if you don’t have an answer to a question, it is OK to say “I don’t know.”

Monitor and correct: During a crisis, rumors and assumptions are bound to appear. Be sure to monitor social media channels and listen to employees so you can correct misinformation in your next e-newsletter or meeting. If possible, establish a phone number or email address where your audiences can have their questions or concerns answered.

Evaluate the hits and misses: Post-crisis assessments are as important as pre-crisis plans. After the fact, review how the communication plan was executed to determine what succeeded and what can be improved.

By following these steps, you will keep your employees and customers well informed and confident in you and your business, leading to long-term relationships.

Have a policy in place to let top performers know they are valued

DICK JONES

Founder & President Jones Simply Sales

Are your top performers getting promoted based on the ongoing results they are achieving? Do you have a promotion model in place that encourages your employees to work hard to earn more status and money?

Promoting your best

performers is beneficial in many ways, including creating a culture of excellence in your business.

Promoting your employees from within your company can be a win-win situation for small businesses. Not only does it save time and money, but also creates an environment where overall morale is increased as well. Many small businesses promote their employees for the right reasons, such as their contribution to the business, increased sales

or the achievement of specific objectives.

Some provide promotions for all the wrong reasons.

Defining the path to a promotion is a great starting point to let everyone know what is expected of them, and what they will get if they meet or exceed those expectations. Employees who are problem solvers and demonstrate that they care about your company’s success are great candidates for promotions.

Promotions from within your organi-

zations should not be done in a random fashion. In other words, when someone is promoted, it shouldn’t be a surprise to them or anyone else. Formally announcing promotions, both internally and externally, demonstrates to your employees that this is important to you.

Promoting your top performers shows that you care about your employees and will help create a work environment that will help your small business achieve higher levels of success.

Chuckwagon meals take place back at the ranch where campers will roll their own oats just like the cowboys from the 1800’s! But with all the fun and learning that kids (age 8–15) will experience, the ultimate goal is to help horse loving kids grow closer to God through horses! The Ranch is now celebrating

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs brought some of its top regional officials to Alpharetta March 5 to hear from their customers: Georgia military veterans.

Representatives of veterans’ organizations from throughout the region as well as individual veterans attended to hear what the department is doing to improve services to veterans in the areas of health care and benefits. Attendees asked questions on wait-times at the Atlanta VA Medical Center and community-based clinics around the state, access to military and health records and resolving disputes over service-connected disabilities.

Heading up the VA delegation was Al Bocchicchio, director of the Atlanta Regional Office and who is also overseeing the VA Benefits offices throughout the Southeast. He said the department is getting the financial support it needs from Congress and the White House.

SPECIAL

Director Al Bocchicchio of the Veterans Benefits Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs addresses veterans at Alpharetta American Legion Post 201 during the March 5 town hall.

Bocchicchio said there is still a lot of room for improvement, but that VA primary care wait times are now better than the private sector at a time when VA health care facilities are seeing more

veterans than ever.

About a dozen VA Benefits staffers were also on hand to assist veterans with issues related to health care or other benefits.

SPORTS

Baseball: Continued from Page 10 “We are in a fortunate spot because we’ve played 13 games (as of March 11) to this point, but that’s only because we’ve been able to use facilities that are able to handle the rain,” Cambridge head coach Evan Tieles said.

Cambridge and Johns Creek have been forced to relocate games to the LakePoint Baseball complex in Emerson, which has turf fields. Doing so does incur a cost per game, and umpires still need to be brought on board with the change in location. Cambridge has played several games at the complex, including their opening Region 7-AAAAAA matchup with Centennial,

which was called in the fifth inning due to fog.

Tieles said the program is fortunate to have indoor facilities, including batting cages and portable pitcher’s mounds.

“We’ve also tried to use the football field as much as we can, but it’s difficult because you have soccer, track and field, and lacrosse going on as well,” he said.

“Other than that, you just go with what you can. Sometimes we are throwing in the parking lot, we’ll do that, or we will throw in the gravel warning track if we can’t get on the field. And some days we can use the infield but not the outfield.

It’s been an eventful spring.”

In Roswell, Blessed Trinity is better able to contend with the rain by having a turf field.

“Turf is the greatest invention in the

NorthFulton.com | Milton Herald | March 19, 2020 | 17

history of baseball, to me anyway,” Blessed Trinity head coach Andy Harlin said.

The Titans have played in several tournaments, including the Georgia Dugout Club Tournament on LakePoint’s turf fields, and have not seen as many cancellations as their neighbors.

They have still had to combat the rain, though.

“Having turf here is great for practice, but there have been times when it has been pouring the entire time and we still have to go indoors,” Harlin said.

“But all baseball coaches sit down way before the season starts and figure out how you want to install stuff. Whether it’s in a gym, a batting cage or a makeshift field, you get in what you have on that schedule. We’re just trying to control what we can, no matter what else is going on outside.”
