Police probe car theft at apartment complex MILTON, Ga. — A resident of North Park Lane said someone stole his car from outside his apartment early May 9.

The victim said he parked his 2013 Honda Accord in the parking lot at his residence overnight. When he went outside around 4 a.m. to go to work, the vehicle was gone.

Police noted that there were no drag or skid marks on the ground to suggest that the car had been towed away.

The victim also told officers he was up to date on his payments for the vehicle, which eliminated the possibility that it was repossessed. But there was no shattered glass or debris in the parking lot indicative of forced entry, according to police.

Thieves take televisions from Windward Walmart MILTON, Ga. — Police were dispatched to a shoplifting in progress May 3 at the Walmart along Windward Parkway.

Store employees reported seeing two suspects leave the store through an emergency door facing the Home Depot next door. They fled the scene before officers arrived.

A witness said they saw four suspects carrying boxes as they ran to a getaway vehicle near Ga. 9 and jump in.

The witness followed the Ford Explorer northbound up the highway, took photos of the vehicle and its license plates, and sent the images to police. One of the rear passenger windows was busted out and had carboard covering it, according to officers.

The incident report stated the shoplifters stole four televisions from the store.

Atlanta man dies in fall at City Center restaurant ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A 40-year-old Atlanta man died from injuries sustained in a fall from a balcony Friday at Jeckyll Brewing in Alpharetta’s City Center.

Police received a call shortly before 8 p.m. reporting a medical emergency at the downtown establishment.

The victim, Matthew Simmons, was found on the concrete below the steps suffering from head trauma, officers said. Witnesses stated Simmons fell from the second-floor landing onto the sidewalk.

Officers at the scene rendered medical assistance until fire and EMS personnel arrived. Simmons was transported to the hospital where he later died.

After having interviewed witnesses, police say the incident was accidental and they do not suspect foul play.

Missing Roswell woman found dead in Illinois ROSWELL, Ga. — A body found in a rural Illinois city early April 8 has been identified as a missing Roswell woman.

A resident found the remains on a state highway just outside Edwardsville, Illinois, and called 911, according to the Edwardsville Intelligencer. Authorities have identified the woman as 33-yearold Tykeisha Marie Dixon (Henderson).

Family members reported the woman and her husband Luther “Luke” Lee Henderson Jr., 39, missing on April 8.

Luther Henderson remains missing.

Neither of them had any apparent ties to the area where Dixon’s body was found.

The neurologist told officers he wasn’t the doctor who prescribed Hill the pain meds.

According to police, Hill became irate when she was refused a new prescription.

She reportedly shoved a receptionist and tossed items off the receptionist’s desk.

The victims did not want to press charges for the incident. Hill was arrested two days later after she allegedly stole a Louis Vuitton purse from a Von Maur store in Alpharetta.

In that incident, Alpharetta Police responded to North Point Mall on May 6 after Hill allegedly stole a designer purse from the Von Maur store. Hill was charged with theft by shoplifting and with possessing drugs out of their original container.

Security at the upscale department store reportedly shows Hill taking a Louie Vuitton purse valued at $1,950 then fleeing on foot. Hill told police she paid for the purse and was attacked by security guards. Surveillance footage, however, showed Hill ask a clerk for the purse then run out of the store, according to police.

Officers found an unmarked bottle of pills in the woman’s bag.

According to police, someone entered the residence through an unsecured back door and stole a gas-powered pressure washer and a gas-powered leaf blower.

No arrests have been made in the case.

Milton Council moves ahead with trail plan at former Milton Country Club property

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — The Milton City Council showed its support May 10 to build out an extended trail at the former Milton County Club property and remove extended sections of cart paths along the route.

The trail proposal was presented to the council last December, but councilmembers wanted to compare cost projections for the various sections of new paths before pulling the trigger.

After comparing several bids, the city is set to move forward on a contract with Tri Scapes to construct the new trails for about $970,000. Tri Scapes was the lowest bidder among four companies.

With the council action, letters will now be sent to homeowners impacted by the removal of cart paths, a construction contract will be presented to the council at an upcoming meeting, and the city will give the greenlight to its contractor to begin the work.

From that point, Tri Scapes has proposed a 6-month construction timeline.

The trail plan includes new paths totaling about 1.3 miles that will begin adjacent to the municipal pool. The path will run south before continu-

ing along Highgrove Club Drive, then run west behind homes and continue south. Behind homes on the southern portion of the area, the trail will cut east and form a loop around an existing lake just off Chicken Creek.

The 2-miles of existing golf cart paths will be removed along the length of the new trail, along with two sections near Chicken Creek behind homes.

With the passive areas of the park still closed off to the public, Councilman Paul Moore wants to hold the contractor’s feet to the fire to ensure they stick to their proposed 6-month construction period timeline.

“I’d like to see something [in the city’s contract] that holds them accountable,” Moore said. “That’s the biggest complaint I get, this park in particular we’ve owned for so long.

The other day on social media I saw it called ‘Milton’s Folly.’ I’d like to get rid of that kind of nomenclature.”

Residents have been forced to wait for years to access the park that was purchased in 2018 outside of the “active” area that includes the city’s pool and Milton Tennis Center. The city has cited several reasons for keeping the park closed, including safety concerns related to sinkholes, crumbling walk-

ways and privacy concerns of neighboring residents.

Councilwoman Laura Bentley stressed the importance of signage at certain area of the trails to help mitigate these issues.

One talking point among the council and city staff was ensuring that parkgoers do not access the new trail where it will run along Highgrove Club Drive. Some shared concerns that people may park along the road and join the trail at that point through a maintenance gate.

Keeping people on the designated paths throughout the property was another concern.

“These houses are really close to this park, so in my opinion, we really need to make sure we have signage in place and enforcement,” Bentley said, suggesting the city’s Public Safety Of-

ficers could be included in a patrolling plan.

City Manager Steve Krokoff said the city could explore a “park ranger-type” entity that could patrol the park.

“Maybe a program like that could be effective,” Krokoff said.

The master plan for the former Milton Country Club property called for a full trail loop around the “Active Acres” portion of the site, which includes the residential area north of the “South Woods” part of the 140-acre park. Under that plan, the loop would include the current proposed path and then continue behind the homes on the east side of Highgrove Club Drive before joining Dinsmore Road to complete a loop. However, the city previously opted to hold off on the full loop due to safety concerns and in an effort to open the park sooner.

JOE PARKER/HERALD

Milton could soon finalize a construction plan that will remove cart paths on the former Milton Country Club property, install a new trail and open the passive portion of the park to the public.

“[The Chamber’s] push will be to try to bring the downtown together, which is over 400 businesses.”

KATHI COOK, Alpharetta Community Development director 8 | Milton Herald | May 20, 2021

Alpharetta Chamber pitches plan to enliven downtown

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The Alpharetta Development Authority has approved the concept for creating an organization that would foster business development in the Downtown District.

The Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce has proposed forming a Downtown Alpharetta District Advisory Board to help build the area’s brand, promote vitality and provide access to business services and education.

In a presentation to the Development Authority in April, Chamber officials outlined the purpose of the organization and asked for seed money to launch the initiative. The proposal seeks three years’ funding through the Development Authority.

The Authority approved an allocation of $60,000 for the first year.

Chamber President Deborah Lanham said she could not comment on the initiative, because the agreement has yet to be finalized, but further information will be released this summer. Alpharetta officials say the final contract with all the details should be presented for adoption at the next Development Authority meeting June 15.

The Alpharetta Development Authority is an economic entity whose sevenmember board is appointed by the City Council. Among its powers is the authority to issue revenue bonds and secure tax abatements.

More recently, the City Council has given the Development Authority more structure, appointing several new members this year.

Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard said the city wants the Devel-

COMING SOON

opment Authority to take a more active role as a “driver and creator of economic development activity.”

In addition to its own sources of money through bonds, the agency receives some city funding. The city, for example, uses the Development Authority as a go-between to fund Tech Alpharetta. Alpharetta allocates $95,000 a year to the Development Authority, which it then passes on to Tech Alpharetta.

The city also provides the Development Authority access to its Economic Development tool kit, which entitles the agency to dangle incentives in front of companies looking to relocate to or expand in Alpharetta.

Alpharetta Community Development Director Kathi Cook said her understanding is that the new Chamber organization would serve as a unified voice for downtown businesses and promote the area throughout the region to foster economic growth for the entire city.

“This is a pilot program,” Cook said. “[The Chamber’s] push will be to try to bring the downtown together, which is over 400 businesses.”

Under terms of the proposal, the Chamber will convene public and private stakeholder groups to generate ideas and will create buy-in and commitment from members.

It will dedicate staff to administer programs, conduct research and help secure events and entertainment. It will also collect data for ongoing cost/benefit assessments.

The Chamber has also proposed to convene an oversight committee, separate from its Board of Directors, composed of public and private stakeholders.

The Chamber of Commerce is seeking funding through the Alpharetta Development Authority to set up an umbrella agency that would promote an active and entertaining downtown.

Cook said the initiative would include coordination with other business groups like the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce and the Alpharetta Business Association, which sponsors the Downtown Alpharetta Farmers Market and whose roots were formed in downtown more than 25 years ago.

Alpharetta Business Association Vice President Lara Dolan said they support the Chamber’s effort.

“As the longest-standing business organization in Alpharetta, the Alpharetta Business Association applauds any initiative to drive patrons and revenues to the downtown area businesses,” Dolan said. “We support the Alpharetta

Chamber in their mission and look forward to opportunities to work together in support of our members and local business.”

Cook said the city spent time during the pandemic researching the most current data on what businesses look for in terms of location.

“They’re looking for quality of life,” she said. “Parks are big on the list.

Schools are big on the list as well as functioning downtowns that have a lot of events.”

Not every business is interested in locating downtown, she said, “but they want to move to cities that have a highfunctioning downtown.”

Nurturing self-confidence in Middle School Brought to you by – Atlanta Academy Today, families have an overwhelming variety of educational options for their children. Schools vary based on academic priorities and emphasis on social-emotional development. The education system is notorious for its ever-changing recommendations, but we believe our commitment to a Kindergarten-8th grade (K-8) model will continue to stand the test of time.

Through the years, research has shown the benefits of the K-8 model.

We believe students are more confident when they can gradually adjust to middle school, build positive teacher-student relationships, and feel an overall sense of belonging. We have found that middle-school-age students learn and behave better when they remain in a familiar environment for nine years and have opportunities to serve as leaders and role models for younger students.

In the discovery process, we also uncovered that when 4th and 5thgrade students are intentionally taught to manage themselves through executive functioning techniques like self-advocacy, organization, and study skills, the transition to middle school is more manageable. To help these students gain a solid foundation before middle school, we developed the “Mini-Middle” program at Atlanta Academy to help them prepare.

In middle school, academic and social settings begin to change. Providing a challenging academic program is easy but developing students’ selfesteem and attitude is more demanding. For that reason, our formula combines academics with every aspect of a child’s adolescent growth and development.

Ultimately, our success record speaks for itself. More than 94% of our eighth-grade graduates are accepted to their top choice, including

prestigious private and public high schools. Many of our students are placed in Advanced Placement and accelerated classes in their new high schools. At Atlanta Academy, our mission of giving every student individual attention allows us to combine

specific academic and developmental needs with age-appropriate social and emotional support, which are especially beneficial during the significant middle school years. For more information, please call 678.461.6102 or visit atlantaacademy.com.

Crabapple Fest set to return this fall

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Crabapple Fest, the city’s most popular annual event, is set to return this fall after the previous two iterations were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event will be Oct. 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in downtown Crabapple.

“After a tough year, the return of Crabapple Fest is an exciting, uplifting sign that our community can safely come together again, in person,” Milton Community Outreach Manager Courtney Spriggs said.

Crabapple Fest, a partnership between the City of Milton and the Crabapple Community Association, draws tens of thousands each year.

The event includes live entertainment, food, drinks and an array of arts, crafts and antique sellers that line the street in downtown Crabapple.

Along with a host of other local events, the 2020 Crabapple Fest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Last fall, the city announced it would attempt to revive event this spring, but with the pandemic still raging and the requirement for longterm planning, the city opted to also cancel the rescheduled event.

The outlook is far brighter for this fall’s return. Spriggs said she and Milton’s event coordinators took declining case numbers and increased vaccination rates into mind to create a “safety plan” for the festival. After discussions with the Crabapple Community Association, planners, “collectively decided we could hold a safe, fun event in October.”

“We know to expect the unexpected and not take anything for granted but are excited to work on all the details that will make this year’s festival the best yet,” Spriggs said.

This year’s event will have the same “feel” as the past, Spriggs said,

Crabapple Fest is set to return this fall after the COVID-19 pandemic canceled last year’s event. The annual festival, Milton’s most popular event, features antique, art and food/drink vendors, live entertainment and more. with a few updates to keep attendees safe. That includes extra staff for cleaning, readily available hand sanitizer and, instead of inflatables for kids, there will be a designated “kid’s zone” with interactive entertainment options.

“Crabapple Fest is an outdoor, open air festival which should make it an easier transition for people who have been more likely staying in for a

long time,” Spriggs said.

The event will also help showcase new development of downtown Crabapple and could bring added revenues to business in the area.

“With lots of growth and new development, downtown Crabapple looks a lot different now than when the last Crabapple Fest occurred in fall 2019,” Spriggs said. “This is an exciting time for the area and many businesses in

it. With so many Milton businesses impacted during the challenges of this past year, we are thrilled to offer an opportunity to get them involved and engage once again with the wonderful crowd the festival brings to Milton.”

The city is accepting applications for sponsors and vendors.

Milton considering ‘urban growth boundary’

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton officials are considering creation of an “urban growth boundary” to curb dense sprawl from infringing on rural or lightly developed areas of the city.

The discussion at the Milton City Council’s May 10 meeting related to the city’s 2040 comprehensive plan, which is currently being drafted to outline goals, initiatives and the future “look and feel” of the city.

Through discussions among the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee, Milton officials have presented a concept of an urban growth boundary that will outline areas of the city where more dense developments could crop up.

In a presentation to the council, Community Development Director Bob Buscemi said Milton’s boundary could “prevent higher density development encroaching on our more rural, agricultural and equestrian areas.”

“If you apply an urban growth boundary to your city, and you define where that growth is limited, then it double-strengthens the fact that somebody can’t come in for a rezoning and

ask for an extension for more density,” Buscemi said. “[The developer] would have to go back and look at the urban growth boundary, and if it doesn’t allow it, it would be a whole process on how to change it, which wouldn’t happen very often.”

The city, in effect, already has a growth boundary through its sewer map and rules in place on extending sewer service.

But looking far ahead to its future, the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee and city staff are considering the fallout if its sewer map safeguard was no longer applicable. Buscemi presented a scenario in which the state could force Milton to extend its sewer lines in the decades ahead.

“Then all of a sudden, our line of demarcation…has evaporated, just like that,” he said. “And it could happen so quickly.”

In that case, Milton’s urban growth boundary would provide “another layer of protection” against unwanted growth.

“But the concept would be that it would be a really strong layer that says, no, you can’t develop past this boundary,” Buscemi said.

There are other outside factors, too, Buscemi said. He used the example of

Milton is considering an “urban growth boundary” that would create limits on where high density developments could be constructed. the northeast corner of Milton’s sewer map. That area is serviced by Forsyth County lines.

“It’s showing even external pressures that have been placed on the City of Milton,” he said.

Buscemi was adamant the move would not impact any current property rights.

The city has presented a drafted urban growth boundary, which follows the lines of its sewer service map. However,

Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee Chair Todd Chernik said that map could be adjusted with further discussion.

City staff and the advisory committee are expected to continue their discussions on a potential Milton urban growth boundary before the full comprehensive plan draft is presented to the City Council in the coming months.

The council is expected to vote on the drafted plan this fall.

Propane-powered buses help schools manage crisis

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmedia.com ATLANTA, Ga. — The decision four years ago by the Fulton County School System to replace aging diesel-fueled buses with propane-powered vehicles proved its value during recent events.

“The current gas shortage brings to light one of the goals in [the district’s] multi-year effort to reduce our bus fleet’s dependence on traditional diesel fuel,” said chief communications officer Brian Noyes.

A May 8 cyberattack on Alpharettabased Colonial Pipeline led to a fuel shortage across the South, primarily from a run on stations from panicked drivers.

Noyes said nearly half of the district’s 760 school buses now run on propane fuel, which limited the disruption caused by gas shortages. Careful management and pre-existing plans also helped.

“Fulton County Schools maintains our own fuel depots for buses, maintenance, warehouse and security vehicles” Noyes said. “We have had [sufficient supply] to continue operations in the short term, with minimal disruption.”

All school vehicles, such as police cars and maintenance trucks, were also directed to fuel up only as needed until

the shortages ease.

But buses must run, even with more kids learning from home. Fulton County Schools operates the state’s fourth largest fleet, racking up more than a million miles each month. About 75 percent of students ride the bus to and from school each day, according to school district figures.

Noyes said the gradual plan to convert to propane will continue to lessen the system’s reliance on traditional fossil fuels.

“Through a combination of local capital funds, thanks to the one-penny sales tax, and federal and state grants, the district has currently at 443 propanepowered buses,” Noyes said. “And by April 2022, [we] will have a total of 491 which is 52 percent of the fleet.”

In 2017 Fulton County Schools secured a $1.9 million federal grant to kickstart the purchase of propane-powered buses to replace half of its diesel fleet by 2022. The district will exceed that goal, Noyes said.

Propane buses cost on average about $7,000 more than diesel buses. However, transportation officials with the district at that time said the increased cost will be more than made up through savings on fuel and maintenance.

The fuel shortage crisis this month

All Services on All Makes and Models

was another disruption to the 2020-21 school year, and district officials said the impact was felt by the entire school community. A letter sent to all students and staff last week outlined the plans in the event the crisis continued.

“For now, we will continue with regu-

lar operations in place,” wrote Superintendent Mike Looney. “Should things change, we have the ability to switch to remote learning, understanding our desire is to quickly return to face-to-face instruction for those who have chosen that option.”

Cities salivate over larger transportation tax projections

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Cities behind an effort to extend the Fulton County transportation sales tax may get a bigger windfall than first expected.

Fulton County Public Works Director David Clark reported May 7 that updated estimates through Georgia State University anticipate the sales tax will bring in about $25 million more than earlier estimates.

The .75-cent transportation special purpose local option sales tax, or TSPLOST, was first passed in 2016 by Fulton County voters in the 13 cities outside Atlanta, which has its own transportation tax. The tax runs until next March and will have generated an estimated $500 million in revenue for transportation projects in the 13 cities.

Early estimates predicted that renewing the five-year tax would generate about $525 million in revenue. New estimates push collections to $554 million.

That means more money for cities to spend on street upgrades, sidewalks and other transportation projects. The money will be distributed to cities based on population, putting Sandy Springs, Roswell and Johns Creek atop the list

for funding. The exact share each city receives, however, won’t be determined until 2020 Census figures are released later this year.

Right now, most of the cities appear on board with a ballot issue this November.

Meanwhile, cities are under the gun to develop their own project lists to fund with the money. They have until June 15 to complete their lists so the county can make preparations to have the issue on the ballot.

Clark said he has spoken with public works officials in all the cities, and each is developing a project list. He said plans appear to be proceeding well to meet all the requirements to have a county resolution drafted by Aug. 2 that would place the sales tax vote on the November ballot.

Cities prepare lists in a tiered system, with the top tier representing those projects that could be funded if the sales tax brings in 85 percent of projected revenues. A second and third tier list ranks tier lists projects to fund if collections come in greater than 85 percent of projections.

TSPLOST II timeline

hammad Rauf said the city is closing in on a list of projects it hopes to fund with the estimated $73.3 million it would likely receive if tax collections come in at 85 percent of estimates. If revenues come in at 100 percent of estimates, the city would receive $94.7 million.

The draft list, he said, has been formulated through a public survey conducted in the spring and discussions at two meetings of the Transportation Committee with staff in March and April.

Right now, Rauf said, the master list has about 70 named projects which will have to be culled to a reasonable amount.

In that light, members of the City Council scored each project according to preference, and the top-tier list now stands at about a dozen projects earmarked for primary funding. Items lower on the list could be funded if more sales tax money pours in.

Tops on the list are improvements along Riverside Road from Riverside Park to Old Alabama Road. Along with intersection upgrades, the $8.7 million project includes bike and pedestrian paths to the river with connection to the Big Creek Greenway.

Two other projects that drew high consensus were multi-use trails on Dogwood Road from Riverside Road to Grimes Bridge Road and on Old Alabama from Market Boulevard Holcomb Woods Parkway. Both projects combined

Updated estimates from Georgia State University show a sales tax would generate even more revenue to cities than previously thought.

A 0.75 % sales tax over five years would generate around $554 million in collections. The earlier estimate called for collections of about $525 million.

The Georgia Department of Revenue gets 1 percent of the money collected — estimated at a little more than $5 million.

Fulton County would receive .5 percent — a little more than $2 million — in program management fees.

That would leave about $546 million for distribution to Fulton County cities — outside Atlanta — according to population. Final population figures from the 2020 census have not been released, but officials expect to have that data by this summer.

are estimated at about $3.4 million.

The most expensive project on the list, ranking fourth in consensus among council members, is just over 2 miles of corridor improvements on Grimes Bridge, Dogwood and Old Dogwood roads. That project comes with a total cost of $10.5 million.

Rauf asked the City Council last week to review the list and make any adjustments soon so a final list can be sent out to the public for feedback before the May 26 Transportation Committee meeting.

TSPLOST: Continued from Page 22 year. By the end of April, they had pretty much locked in 13 top projects.

That list didn’t change at Monday’s City Council meeting, but the price tags did. And the council added another entry to its list of lower tier projects.

Public Works Director Pete Sewczwicz said he has been in touch with primary project consultants who have advised that spikes in materials like steel and concrete will probably absorb the $1.9 million in extra revenue the tax will bring the city.

Right now, consensus is strong the city will spend the lion’s share of the estimated $52 million it expects in firsttier funding on widening Webb Bridge Road and improvements to the North Point Parkway corridor.

Along those lines, City Councilman Ben Burnett won consensus to add another project – a pedestrian tunnel near Haynes Bridge Road and North Point Parkway – to the list of Tier 3 projects.

The funding for preliminary work is set at $500,000.

“I think strategically, it would be a good thing to be able to show that we had on a TSPLOST list, should there be some sort of large infrastructure bill that happens to come down from the federal government,” Burnett said.

Johns Creek City officials in Johns Creek have reached a consensus on the types of transportation projects they will pursue with transportation tax dollars. But the City Council is not tipping its hand on specifics.

Rather than identify exact roads,

bridges or sidewalks, the city has created a roster of “buckets” — general transportation-related categories in which to assign the TSPLOST II money.

The city ran into some headwaters in the early months of the first TSPLOST when City Council members disagreed over whether the city was bound to the wording in the original project list adopted for the referendum. Some argued that conditions and public sentiments should guide projects as they develop.

Others argued the adopted designs were what the public voted on in the referendum, and they should not be altered.

Johns Creek is lukewarm to the tax anyway. In 2016, the TSPLOST referendum garnered barely enough votes to pass citywide, winning by about a dozen votes, or .02 percent. The margin in favor of the tax passed countywide by a much greater margin, 52.7 percent to 47.3.

Right now, the city is intent on seeing a large share of the sales tax funding go to implementation and development of its new stormwater utility.

Milton The City of Milton held an interactive forum May 11 to garner citizen input on projects they would like to see addressed with the estimated $36 million the city can expect from a sales tax renewal. All through May, the city has solicited input online from residents.

The City Council held a work session Monday to consider its project list, and it is set for adoption May 24.

Milton is expected to complete 3 miles of sidewalks, six roundabouts, one bridge and various other road and intersection upgrades with the $32 million it expects to have collected over the course of the first sales tax.

So far, the main consensus among council members for the new money has centered on improvements to Cox Road.

Milton girls lacrosse continues dynasty Milton girls earn 14th championship

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com 6A-7A boys championship: Lambert 17, Centennial 9 FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Lambert boys lacrosse won its fifth state championship and third in five seasons Saturday at Denmark High School, denying Centennial its second state title. The contest remained tight through three quarters, but the Longhorns pulled away in the fourth to secure the title.

Lambert built a 5-1 lead, but that margin was cut to 7-5 at the half. The teams continued to exchange goals in the third, but Lambert ran away with five scores in the fourth to take the 17-9 win.

Saturday’s bout was the second time the programs met with a state title on the line. In 2013, Centennial earned its first state championship with a 15-12 win over the Longhorns for the boys 6A title.

In 2018, Lambert earned a thrilling overtime win over Centennial in the semifinals before capturing the state championship that year.

Wellstar North Fulton Hospital offering medical withdrawal program

By SYDNEY DANGREMOND newsroom@appenmedia.com

we know there’s a lot of substance use disorder in our communities, but there’s not enough resources to help them,” Godamunne said.

Various investigations between 2015 and 2017 unearthed a 4000 percent increase in heroin-related deaths in North Fulton communities. This area was deemed “The Heroin Triangle.”

Since then, more attention has been paid to the local opioid and substance abuse crisis. However, new data shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased substance abuse in communities nationwide, including North Fulton.

“The reality is that this pandemic has served as fuel for the opiate crisis,” Godamunne said. “We know, from national data that the opioid epidemic has gotten worse because of the pandemic, because of stresses in people’s lives.”

That’s why Godamunne is especially optimistic about launching this medical

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — On April 19 Wellstar North Fulton Hospital launched their medical withdrawal program to aid those beginning withdrawal from opioids or alcohol.

The three-to-five-day program provides patients with a medically supervised withdrawal process that helps minimize symptoms and has led to more successful remission.

“If we catch it early enough, we can prevent you from going through all those really bad withdrawal symptoms…using the best practices and medical treatment we have,” said Wellstar North Fulton’s Chief Medical Officer Karim Godamunne.

According to Godamunne, the program derived from a community need assessment.

“This is a proven model that’s been done elsewhere,” Godamunne said. “This is not a unique pilot program. This is a model that has been successful for many individuals at different places around the country with similar types of services.”

After a pre-screening phone call and

an in-person assessment, patients are admitted to the Wellstar hospital for assistance with acute medical withdrawal symptoms. Following patient discharge at the end of the three-to-five-day period, patients are put in touch with various community resources for continued treatment.

In Memoriam

Tera Griffin Morris

Tera Griffin Morris, age 93, of Milton, Georgia, passed away peacefully at home on April 19. Born in 1927 on a farm in Alapaha, Georgia to Perlie and Dallas Griffin. Tera attended nursing school at Grady Memorial Hospital. She worked tirelessly caring for her patients at both Grady and Piedmont Hospitals. An avid gardener, Tera loved being outside and her garden was a masterpiece of color and plant varieties.

She and her husband, Aubrey, were Episcopalians and founding members of the Church of the Atonement in Sandy Springs and St. Aidan’s in Alpharetta.

Tera and Aubrey met while he was a reporter for the Atlanta Journal and was covering a beauty pageant that was choosing the prettiest student nurse at Grady. Tera won the pageant and Aubrey’s heart. Married for 60 years prior to his passing, her marriage was a model for loyalty, respect, and love.

Along with her parents, Tera is preceded in death by her loving husband, Aubrey.

Survivors include her sisters and brothers, Margaret Avera, Betty Brown, Densol Griffin and Vinson (Inell) Griffin.

Her sisters “in love”: Grace Collett, Willora Morris, and Jean (Travis) Marks.

Her daughters: Rebecca (Robin) Fricton, Rhoda (Paul) Owens, and Susan (Kent) Moe. Grandchildren: Daniel (Vanessa) Owens, Anne ( Justin) Reynolds, Kurt (Mandy) Fricton, Nathan Moe, Benjamin Moe and Sarah (Carter McClaugherty) Moe. She is also survived by six great-grandchildren who filled her home with boundless energy, laughter and devotion. They are Rhett Fricton, Kadence Owens, Dakota Owens, Branch Owens, Riley Reynolds, and Chase Reynolds.

Many cousins, nephews and nieces were also mentored and loved by her.
