Residents flocked to downtown Crabapple June 2 for the debut of the revamped Milton Farmers Market and the first Meet Me in Milton event of 2021. The simultaneous events are just among a few community gatherings the city has hosted since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a signal that vaccination rates and lower case numbers in the area has allowed somewhat of a return to pre-pandemic normalcy.

Local cities outline times yard work is permitted

BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — The COVID-19 pandemic has kept people mostly at home over the last 16 months, and for many, the time at home has spurred an added focus on maintaining their lawns. However, there are some regulations in place on when this work can be done.

Most Metro Atlanta cities have designated specific times in which yardwork and the use of loud machinery is permitted to ensure safety and promote quality of life.

Below is a breakdown of each local jurisdiction’s laws and ordinances related to residential lawn mowing and yard work.

Alpharetta Unlike some of its neighbors, Alpharetta does not currently have any residential time restrictions or noise ordinances in place for general yard work. According to the city’s Property Maintenance Code, lawns must remain under 12

inches in length. This regulation is kept to ensure a modest appearance for all residential property.

Milton While Milton enforces time and noise restrictions, the hours of operation are flexible. For residents, lawn maintenance machinery is permitted from 7:30 a.m. to sunset Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to sunset on weekends and federal holidays. Although there is no mandate on the length lawns must be kept, residents are asked to maintain their property and keep it in a clean, safe, and sanitary conditions.

Roswell Roswell’s extended hours for landscaping work allow lawn maintenance and machinery to operate daily between the hours of 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. A clean appearance is recommended for all residents with yard waste to be placed at their curb by 8 a.m. on waste collection days. Branches and tree limbs must not exceed four feet in length or weight more than 50 pounds.

Johns Creek Johns Creek does not consider noise from landscaping and yard maintenance equipment to be a sound nuisance unless operating during the hours of 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays, before 8 a.m. on Saturdays and before 10 a.m. on Sundays for all residential properties. Like Roswell, landscaping is permitted from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. during the average work week. Weekend hours vary from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays. A maintained and clean appearance is recommended.

Dunwoody Dunwoody is more specific on yard regulations. Grass and weeds cannot exceed 10-inches in height. The removal of all weeds and trash from the property is always a requirement. Lawn maintenance requiring motorized equipment for contractors and residents can operate between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays and from 8 a.m.

After neighbors’ opposition, council unleashes on Painted Horse

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — The Painted Horse winery has a little over a month to find middle ground with neighbors who turned out Monday to protest the facility’s expansion plans which would allow larger gatherings.

In split votes, the City Council deferred two requests by the owner, Pamela Jackson, for permits to allow “agricultural-related activities.” One permit would have allowed parking, driveways, a wood pavilion and horse arenas

with the 100-foot setback and allowing structures housing animals to be within 100 feet of the property line. The other request was a use permit for a rural event facility.

The council voted unanimously, however, to accept Jackson’s request to withdraw her application for a use permit to allow indoor and outdoor festivals.

Those casting votes against the deferrals made it clear they didn’t want to wait, not after an hour of public comment in which nearly a dozen nearby residents spoke against any expansion of the operation. Most said they had no

issues with the winery and horse facility.

But, they were unanimous in opposing large gatherings that would increase traffic on Bethany Way and amplified music that would disrupt the peace and quiet many said they enjoyed till now.

“This is about one woman’s ambition to make money off their property,” Bethany Way resident Mimi Sullivan said.

Others said they fear the integrity of the rural setting they bought into is being threatened with commercialization.

They said Bethany Way already has its share of traffic problems without adding an event facility.

City Council members made no effort to hide their disappointment with the Painted Horse’s campaign to “Save the Farm,” calling it disingenuous. They said Jackson’s claims that she is now being singled out after having operated events for two decades is false. Longtime residents who live nearby have testified the concerts and larger gatherings are new, they said.

The Painted Horse occupies about 18 acres.

Downtown Crabapple was abuzz Saturday as Milton opened the doors to its revamped Farmers Market and the city’s “School’s Out! Summer’s In!” bash.

Milton marks return of community events

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — The experience in downtown Crabapple June 2 was one that had not been seen in well over a year.

Milton celebrated the return of community events last week with the debut of its revamped Farmers Market at the Broadwell Pavilion. Across the street, the city’s Meet Me in Milton events returned with its “School’s Out! Summer’s In!” bash, marking the end of the 2020-21 academic year for local students.

The simultaneous gatherings, hosted by the city and its partners, are among just a handful of events hosted in Milton since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and signal that a return to prepandemic normalcy is on the horizon.

The events coincided with the lowest weekly average of COVID cases in Fulton County since last March during the onset of the pandemic locally.

On June 2, the 7-day average of cases in the county was 33, the lowest

figure reported since March 26, 2020, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health. Twenty-three cases were reported in Fulton County June 2, down from a peak of more than 800 new daily cases in early January.

of COVID-19 vaccines, some of which have been distributed by the city’s first responders through a partnership with Milton’s ReVue Pharmacy, has been a vital factor in reducing the number of cases. The vaccines and low case figures spurred the city to reinstate community gatherings after several — including Milton’s marquee events — were cancelled over safety concerns amid the pandemic.

Last week’s Meet Me in Milton summer kickoff party was just the second since the pandemic began.

The series of events was founded in 2019 by the city and the Crabapple Market to bolster local businesses and provide more gatherings for the community in the city’s downtown area with various events, from car shows to cornhole tournaments. The program made its debut with an event in October of that year, with a full slate of monthly functions scheduled for the spring and summer of 2020. However, the pandemic

slashed that entire schedule.

A year after its debut, the city pivoted to provide a movie screening on The Green at Crabapple Market last October, but it wasn’t until last week the series was able to hold its third event.

The “School’s Out” event featured kid’s activities, food trucks, inflatables, a DJ and lawn games on The Green. It was a welcome sight for the city. “‘School’s Out! Summer’s In!’” was a huge success,” Milton Economic Development Manager Sarah LaDart said.

“Scores of residents and visitors enjoyed and experienced our growing downtown on a beautiful day with fun had by all.

We were pleased to have the opportunity to partner with Crabapple Market and bring this lively event to Milton, especially after going so long without.”

While Meet Me in Milton made its return, the revamped Milton Farmers Market debuted at the Broadwell Pavilion. Shoppers browsed over a dozen stands offering fresh produce, prepared foods and other items.

The Farmers Market will continue to be held each Wednesday from 3 to 6 p.m. through Nov. 3.

During the pandemic, the city was either forced to cancel its community events or pivot to allow them to be held safely.

Crabapple Fest, the city’s largest event, was postponed last fall to occur this spring due to statewide limitations on large gatherings. However, that rescheduled event was cancelled due to continued safety concerns.

The city is preparing to mark its return, however, this fall. The 2021 Crabapple Fest is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 2 in downtown Crabapple.

Roswell welcomes international tech firm GreyOrange relocation brings 200 jobs to area

Carl Appen appointed Director of Content, Development

ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell added to its corporate portfolio recently with the announcement that GreyOrange, an India-based software and robotics automation company, will invest more than $1 million to relocate its global headquarters to the area.

The company’s new international headquarters is at 660 Hembree Parkway. The site includes 110,000 square feet of office and warehousing space that serves as a global fulfillment center for building and shipping autonomous mobile robots. Founded in New Delhi, India, and with operations there as well as in the U.S., Europe and Japan, GreyOrange leverages artificial intelligence and robotics to optimize fulfillment operations for companies worldwide.

“Atlanta is internationally known as a ‘supply chain city’ due to the infrastructure, university support, and leading companies headquartered in the metropolitan area,” said Chief Operating Officer of GreyOrange Jeff Cashman. “Atlanta is the perfect environment to accelerate the evolution and growth of GreyOrange as we continue to innovate intelligent fulfillment concepts for our global customers.”

The move will create 200 additional jobs to the area.

“This is a big win not only for our workforce but, more importantly, for the overall economic vitality of the community,” said Roswell Inc Executive Director Steve Stroud. “We’re proud to have collaborated with GreyOrange, the State of Georgia, and our economic development partners to make this happen.”

ALPHARETTA, Ga. - Appen Media Group announced May 20 the appointment of Carl Appen as Director of Content and Development. In this newly created role, Carl will work with editorial, production and commercial teams to deliver preAPPEN mium experiences across all media for audiences and advertising partners. Carl will report to Hans Appen, publisher, and will be based in Alpharetta.

“Carl brings a critical skillset to Appen Media Group that prepares us well for many years to come,” Hans Appen said. “Every news media company in the country, especially small local ones like ours, is looking for ways to remain an important part of the fabric of its community and stay financially viable. Carl understands that and knows what it will take to be successful.”

Carl’s appointment accelerates the company’s growth plan, pursuing engagement, product and partnership goals through an increased content investment of 150% over the next two years.

“I believe in the great power of local news,” Carl said. “Producing quality journalism takes a considerable investment, and I’m excited to work for a local media company willing to buy in.”

Carl makes the lateral move from his position in business development. He is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma and resident of Alpharetta.

STATE OF GEORGIA

GreyOrange uses artificial intelligence-driven software and mobile robots in executing warehouse activities to improve efficiency.

Georgia Department of Economic Development Project Manager Emily Poole represented the Global Commerce division on the project in partnership with Roswell Inc, the Metro Atlanta Chamber and Georgia Power.

“GreyOrange’s decision to move their global headquarters to Georgia is yet another example of the state’s longterm investments in our logistics infrastructure continuing to pay off,” Georgia DOE Commissioner Pat Wilson said.

“I’m confident that by moving their hub here, GreyOrange will be even better equipped to help their international clients streamline processes and fulfill orders even faster.”

The company’s key leadership, operations, and go-to-market executives are now based in Roswell, Georgia, including the company’s chief executive officer, chief technology officer, chief

operating officer, chief marketing officer and vice president of global sales. Individuals interested in careers in sales, solution development, engineering, supply chain operations, and customer support with GreyOrange are encouraged to visit www.greyorange.com for additional information.

“GreyOrange’s decision to locate their global headquarters in metro Atlanta reflects the ongoing strength of our supply chain and technology ecosystem,” said Katie Kirkpatrick, president and CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber. “Our region’s e-commerce capabilities and digital supply chain focus are among the many assets that make metro Atlanta the #SupplyChainCity and an attractive choice for global technology leaders like GreyOrange.”

Health Insurance – What are my options, and what is right for me?

Brought to you by - Josh Dougherty, Xperience Benefits After our 2nd year of being in business, it did not take long to figure out that people absolutely love talking about health insurance! Kidding of course.

However, for as much as people do not WANT to talk about it, the truth is that you MUST talk about it. Why? For busiDOUGHERTY ness owners that sponsor benefits, typically benefits are their 2nd highest cost behind payroll itself! For individuals, it has the potential to be a family’s largest bill besides their mortgage!

So, what do we do? Given that we live in the 21st century, we take up arms (our keyboard) and Google “health insurance”. Doing so will give you a litany of large companies that pay to have their websites at the top of your page and most force you to input information so that some telemarketer will call you selling whatever policy their company pushes. Ok, that may be a bit extreme, but you get the point. So, what are my options and what is right for me?

Well, we begin each conversation asking where you are. If you are a business owner and you are looking

to offer benefits to your employees, there are HMO, PPO, EPO & POS plans available. There are pros and cons to each one of these plans. Also, if you and your employees are willing to undergo simple underwriting, there are self-funded or level-funded plans that (if you qualify) allow you to garner quality PPO plans, at heavily reduced rates.

If you are an individual/family seeking a plan, we would ask about 2 items: 1) you and your family’s overall health and 2) your household income. Why? There are plans on the individual market that, like above, if you can pass underwriting, you may be eligible for quality plans at a discounted rate. Regarding household income, the passing of the new CARES Act has expanded what is considered the Federal Poverty Level and has increased the amounts of subsidy dollars for folks that qualify for a Marketplace (aka Obamacare) plan. If this is not a route you have looked into recently, we encourage you to do so.

Obviously, we would love to chat with you about your insurance needs, but at the end of the day, we just want people to be educated on their options. If you have a quality agent, reach out to them and go through your options. Spend some time with them to really understand items such as the difference between a

Attract. Inspire. Grow.

Who do you call to discuss your health insurance options?

Whether you’re a business owner wearing multiple hats, or an HR Director trying to control costs and productivity, turn it over to your new employee benefits department.

Compression Therapy: Squeezing the pain right out of your body Brought to you by: Hydralive Therapy Whether you’re an elite athlete or just someone who likes staying active, aches and pains are almost unavoidable.

It’s easy to reach for a bottle of pain-relievers and hope it gets you through your work day or next workout. But alternative healing such as compression therapy is becoming more popular among Americans.

Compression therapy uses inflatable sleeves that apply pressure to the legs, hips or arms. This therapy aims to increase blood flow and combats soreness, inflammation and swelling.

Who would benefit from compression therapy?

Athletes If you’re using your legs, compression therapy is right for you!

Runners, swimmers, cyclists, triathletes, weightlifters, crossfitters, mudders, walkers and many others.

Anyone who works on their feet all day. Gravity causes poor circulation in your legs when you are standing all day such as Nurses, Doctors, Chiropractors, Construction Workers, Wedding Photographers/Videographers and much more.

Anyone who battles poor circula-

tion would benefit such as Diabetes, Varicose, Peripheral Artery Disease and just about any circulation disease with the exception of Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Any who enjoys a relaxing massage! The NormaTec compression therapy feels like a gentle myofascial massage–which we recognize is a contradiction in terms! Just envision sitting back and relaxing with a post-workout beverage for anywhere from 10-60 minutes, having your legs massaged, flushed of lactic acid and reinvigorated for your day! I guess you just need to try it to believe it.

How often should you get treatment?

The frequency of treatment depends on lifestyle, but it’s important to remember compression therapy works for people of all walks of life.

For top-tier athletes, it can be almost daily. For high school athletes, compression therapy is beneficial post-practice or game. It also works for anyone trying to boost recovery, whether you’re training for a 5K or a marathon.

Bring a friend to Hydralive Therapy® and come get your “squeeze”, freeze and IV Drip on!

Hey, Man — Know Your Stats Brought to you by: Wellstar If you’re a baseball fan, you probably know the batting average of your favorite player. If you look forward to football in the fall, you likely study the numbers to COX pick the perfect fantasy football team.

You may know that NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins ranks first in Atlanta Hawks history for PTS (points, and Wilkins scored 23,292) and the Atlanta Braves’ Mike Soroka’s career ERA (earned run average) is 2.86.

But there are other numbers even more important for you to know — your health stats. Do you know your BP (blood pressure)? What about your BMI (body mass index)? Maybe you can run an eight-minute mile or bench press 250 pounds, but when was the last time you got a good look at your health at an annual checkup?

Men are less likely than women to regularly see a doctor. They might feel confident they’re healthy and only seek care if they get sick, or they may want

to deny the signs of an issue. But it’s still crucial that men stay on top of their health — and that includes knowing those stats.

“Men need to check in with a doctor at least once a year for their annual physical,” said Wellstar Primary Care Physician Dr. Stephen Cox. “It’s better to be proactive with your health, find issues early and prevent problems before they start.”

Men should know their health stats including: PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen Test).

Men who are 50 or older should discuss testing with their provider, according to the American Cancer Society. Men at a higher risk, including African American men and those who had a brother or father diagnosed with cancer before age 65, should ask their provider about testing at age 45. Patients who had more than one close relative with prostate cancer at an early age should have this conversation with their provider when they’re 40.

Along with staying up-to-date on those health stats, men should also be getting regular colorectal cancer screen-

ings. The American Cancer Society recommends that people at average risk for colorectal cancer screening get checked regularly beginning at age 45.

Screenings should continue through age 75, and after that patients can discuss their personal risk and history with their provider.

Depending on your personal and family health history, your provider may recommend additional screenings. Be sure not to skip your annual physical, and reach out to your provider right away if you notice something wrong.

Why do some tumors track along nerves?

Brought to you by: Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta At a recent conference, an outstanding lecture by Dr. Scott Lester of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, provided insight into the question of why tumors exhibit “perineural invasion” – the behavior of tumors wrapping around and travelling along nerves. The answer is another example of how nature and biology never cease to surprise.

In medical school, one of my favorite professors loved to say, “50% of what you are going to learn during these four years will ultimately be proved wrong.”

As I sat in my hard wooden chair taking notes on apparently error-ridden knowledge, I hoped that the 50% that was misinformation was at least not the half that mattered.

As it turns out, one of the pieces of misinformation apparently concerned perineural invasion. In medical school, I was taught that some tumors track along nerves because nerves are convenient highways to other parts of the body. This was the “path of least resistance idea.” Professors also posited that some of the vessels and lymphatics running along with the nerve are an additional reason for tumor growth along nerves – essentially the idea that tumors spreading along nerves is really just tumors spreading along the surrounding lymphatics and blood vessels – “business as usual.”

Several recent studies presented by Dr. Lester have provided data that sheds new light on this subject: In one experiment, scientists placed a nerve next to but well apart from a tumor growing in a petri dish. The tumor extended a strand of cells in the direction of the nerve and grew toward the nerve. This challenges the idea that perineural tumor growth in patients is simply cancer extension along nerves already touching a tumor. Then, the scientists tested proteins found in the nerve and found that the entire nerve did not have to be present in the dish to attract tumor growth. When scientists put a small amount of a nerve protein called GDNF (glial derived neurotrophic factor) in the dish, the tumor grew towards the GDNF. Apparently, proteins in the nerve attract tumor growth. So nerves are not just highways: some tumors seek out nerves by growing towards proteins that nerves produce.

In another experiment, scientists placed pancreatic cancer cells next to the sciatic nerve inside of a live rat. Predictably, the cancer grew and invaded the sciatic nerve. The muscles relying on the sciatic nerve were unable to function which caused partial paralysis. However, when the scientists delivered radiation to the rat’s sciatic nerve BEFORE

implanting the pancreatic cancer, the tumor grew but paralysis did not occur upon tumor implantation against the nerve. Nerves that had received radiation produced less GDNF. We have long thought of radiation as primarily working by killing cancerous cells because radiation is known to cause breaks in cancer cell DNA resulting in cell death. But these studies led Dr. Lester, a radiation oncologist, to ask if radiation therapy’s effect on healthy tissue is just as important to its success as its effect on cancer cells themselves. Perhaps in some cases, radiation’s effect on growth factors in healthy nerve tissue is critical to preventing cancer recurrence.

As many questions as answers are raised by these studies. Will we one day have medicines that treat perineural tumors by inhibiting neurotrophic factors?

For tumors that do not track along nerves but that invade muscle, bone or other tissue, will medicines increasingly target growth factors in these tissues to prevent spread? Already, medicine that targets “vascular endothelial growth factor” is being used to treat certain cancers. Perhaps one day a local injection of a medicine that blocks neurotrophic factors will be used to help treat perineural tumors.

As a Mohs surgeon, I took interest in these studies because many skin cancers track along nerves and because identifying perineural invasion under the microscope is an important part of my job. When I find significant perineural invasion, radiation therapy after surgery is an option I discuss. I hope that I might one day be able to offer a targeted pill or injection as an alternative to radiation.

However, I thought that these studies are of broad general interest because they are an intriguing example of how the obvious or intuitive answer so often is not the correct answer when biology is involved. Tumor growing along nerves is not just a case of taking the path of least resistance. So much of what we assume or are taught does not turn out to be the whole story. Nature is always more complex than we imagine, and new discoveries provide opportunities for medical advancement.

OPINION

That hippie book summons past existence So, an old friend of mine just gave me a book. It looks good and is about one of my favored subjects — all the old rockers from way back in the ’60s and their stories. It’s a hardback and I am sure it is out of print. What a cool surprise for-no-reason gift. Actually, it was for a reason, but it had to do with a toilet, so I won’t get RAY APPEN into it.

Publisher Emeritus Anyway, a couple days after I got ray@appenmedia.com the book, I started stewing about it — like walking around with a penny in my shoe. Why would my friend give away such a cool book? He is just as much a fan of “the old days” as I. “Or is he?” I started to wonder. The more I thought about it the more worried I became; some might say the more “paranoid.”

A long time ago we lived on Key Biscayne — another island but this one off the coast of Miami. Christina and I had a friend who was married to a “Key-rat” named Tony. The deal with Tony was that whenever he met a new person, inevitably within the first 10 minutes, he would pull out his wallet and take out what looked to be an old piece of colored paper and hold it out. The other person usually would get a blank look on his face and Tony would then announce: “It’s a ticket — a ticket to Woodstock — my ticket,” and then wait with great expectations for the other person to respond appropriately.

After I watched Tony do this a couple times, I real-

ized that he was somewhat of a drunk, living in the past, and that as long as he was like that, his life was probably not going to go well. Ultimately his wife — our friend — did divorce him, and I imagine that he is still on the Key, still living in the past, still walking around with that ticket in his wallet — and not doing well.

I thought about Tony’s ticket after my friend gave me his book on the ’60s. Was my continued interest in “way back then” my “ticket”? Was that pebble in my shoe my fear that I too am living in the past like Tony?

Hmmm.

I know that in many ways my friend who gifted me the book has changed since we were in college. Back then, he could play every Dylan song ever written and sing them too. So, he knew the lyrics. He was a free spirit and we were in sync, he and I. Today he lives close by, is a husband, father, as well as a successful businessperson too — just like I am, I guess. But maybe he has moved on in ways that I have not?

So that’s my fear with that book my friend gave me.

Maybe I am just stuck back in time and haven’t had the maturity to grow or the sense to move on. That’s the penny in my shoe. There is this voice deep inside me that keeps asking questions about me, questions about my assumptions, my values, my frame of reference, my status.

I think that questioning comes with age and ageing.

You question stuff, especially about yourself. “How am I doing?” And sometimes you are torn. Often you are torn.

Dylan sang that “those not busy being born are busy dying.” I think he was saying we need to be open

to new ideas and not be locked into the past. But Faulkner said that “the past isn’t dead, that it isn’t even past,” which to me, among other things, means that the past is always important, that it will always be relevant. Somewhere in-between those two bookends I guess is a truth to be found.

Hey, you wanna see my ticket?

Local athletic programs place well in final Director’s Cup standings

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — Athletics programs from North Fulton and Forsyth County finished well in the final 2020-21 Director’s Cup standings, with Lambert winning the overall title in 7A and Cambridge taking the 6A girls crown.

The Georgia Athletic Directors Association awards Director’s Cups to the top performing schools to honor the best overall, boys and girls athletic programs in all classifications of the Georgia High School Association. Recognition is awarded through a points system based on results from each school’s performance in all sports during the athletic year.

The 2020-21 season marks the return of the Director’s Cup. They were not awarded for the 2019-20 season due to the cancellation of spring sports amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the third time in the last five years, Lambert won the overall Director’s Cup in the state’s highest classification, 7A. Lambert has finished no lower than No. 2 in the final overall standings since creation of Class 7A in the 2016-17 season.

The Longhorns’ Director’s Cup win was spurred by a host of state titles and state runner-up placements the program earned this year. Lambert lifted state championship trophies in boys lacrosse, girls swimming and girls golf.

The program also earned state runner-up finishes in boys tennis, soccer and golf, and girls tennis, soccer and cheer.

The Longhorns also won the boys Director’s Cup title. The girls program placed second to Walton.

In its first year in 7A, Denmark placed 18th out of 45 schools, led by a 10thplace finish from its boys program behind strong performances form its soccer, cross-country, baseball and tennis teams.

Forsyth Central was 33rd overall, and North Forsyth placed 36th.

Milton remained the top performing

North Fulton team overall in Class 7A, placing eight overall (boys sixth, girls 12th). The Eagles have been the top 7A North Fulton team in the final Cup standings since the creation of the classification.

The Eagles took three state championships during the 2020-21 season. The boys basketball squad won its first state championship since 2012, boys golf won its first state crown, and the girls lacrosse program continued its dynasty of 14 championships in 16 seasons.

Milton’s overall score was boosted by strong seasons in cross-country, swim and dive, and football.

Alpharetta, in its first year in 7A, finished 12th overall. The Raiders were led by their girls programs, which placed ninth. The volleyball squad won its first state championship last fall. The boys were led by a team state championship in track and field, the program’s second straight, and a state runner-up placement by the boys swim and dive squad.

Roswell was 17th overall in the final standings with deep playoff runs in girls soccer, lacrosse and volleyball.

The 2020-21 Director’s Cup marked the first time in several seasons a North Fulton team didn’t win the overall title in Class 6A, but Cambridge earned its mark as the best girls athletic program for the third time in the last four completed seasons. The Cambridge boys were not far behind, placing third, to give the Bears second in overall scores just 25 points behind Buford.

The Cambridge girls were led by a state title from its tennis program, its fourth in six years, and state runnerup placements in soccer and swim. The program also earned high placements in cross-country, cheer and gymnastics.

The Cambridge boys earned their second state championship in four years, with the tennis, golf and wrestling squads earning significant points toward the standings.

Johns Creek extended its streak of placements in the top-10 of the 6A overall standings to five years. The boys team placed sixth with the girls finishing 10th.

The Gladiators earned four state titles this year — in boys swimming, tennis and golf, and in girls soccer. The boys soccer team, girls tennis and girls golf programs earned state runner-up placements.

Horses share space with the vineyard at the Painted Horse, which occupies about 18 acres on Bethany Way in Milton.

Winery: Continued from Page 3 lot of acres,” Councilwoman Laura Bentley said, suggesting that Jackson meet with the neighbors to reach common ground, if there is any to be had. “That is what it is to be a neighbor.”

Councilwoman Carol Cookerly was more direct, saying Jackson is “loophole hunting” for a way to expand her operation.

“I stand in full opposition to your plans,” Cookerly said. “You just as well know that.”

Council members said they were upset to discover the Painted Horse had posted on social media as late as last Friday that the requests for permits had been deferred until July. A deferral, they said, does not happen until the City Council votes to approve one.

INVITATION TO BID FORMER MILTON COUNTRY CLUB RENOVATION ITB NUMBER 21-PR01 Sealed Bids Due Date: JUNE 29, 2021 2:00PM LOCAL TIME Electronic submission via: www.cityofmiltonga.us Submissions will be publicly announced on the above date at approximately 2:30 PM at the City of Milton City Hall located at 2006 Heritage Walk, Milton, GA 30004 (opening may be moved online due to public health conditions). The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids. If the contract is awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder whose bid meets the requirements and criteria set forth in the invitation for bids.

The City of Milton is requesting bids from interested parties to provide exterior and interior renovations to the Former Milton Country Club located at 1785 Dinsmore Road, Milton, GA 30004.

The request for sealed bids for the Former Milton Country Club Renovation project will be posted on the following websites the week of May 27, 2021: http://www.cityofmiltonga.us or http://ssl.doas.state.ga.us/PRSapp/PR_index.jsp

Councilman Paul Moore said the Painted Horse’s tactics may have prompted some of its own supporters to skip Monday’s meeting. He said the operation’s “disinformation” had compromised public discourse.

“I couldn’t be more disappointed,” Moore said.

Jackson and her attorneys contend they only want to hold events similar to what they have hosted in the past, with the exception of the Uncorked concert series, which Jackson said will not continue beyond this year. She also argues the events are crucial to keep her farm economically sustainable.

At Monday’s meeting, Jackson did not speak. Her attorney Collier McLeod made the deferral requests. Neither responded to the public or City Council comments.

The two permit requests are scheduled to be heard at the July 19 City Council meeting.
