Long lines, equipment malfunctions disrupt Georgia primary elections By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Stories of long lines to vote are far from unheard of in metro Atlanta, but paired with new equipment and a pandemic, Georgia has received national criticism for its June 9 election. Because of COVID-19, about 40 polling places in Fulton County were moved or combined, creating confusion and long waits for some, even as hundreds of thousands of voters made use of early or absentee voting. Furthermore, for most poll workers June 9 was the first time operating the state’s new voting machines. A number of sites experienced technical challenges throughout the day. The Superior Court of Fulton County ordered the extension of voting hours from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. U.S. Senate Wednesday night, Jon Ossoff declared victory in the Democratic primary to decide who will challenge U.S. Sen. David Perdue this November. With 51 percent of the vote, Ossoff, the documentary filmmaker who received national attention for his 2017 attempt to take Georgia’s 6th congressional district, narrowly avoided a runoff with the runner up, former Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson, who garnered just shy of 16 percent. U.S. House With 75 percent of votes, former U.S. Rep. Karen Handel decidedly beat out four competitors to be the Republican candidate for Georgia’s 6th congressional district, which includes north Fulton and parts of DeKalb and Cobb counties. November’s race will be a rematch; Democrat U.S. Rep Lucy McBath ousted Handel from the seat in 2018. State Senate State Sen. Brandon Beach beat his

Carrying 59 percent of the vote, he will likely continue to represent District 21, which covers north Alpharetta, all of Milton and much of Cherokee County. No one filed on the Democratic ticket. In District 56, incumbent Republican State Sen. John Albers will face Democrat Sarah Beeson in November. Both were unopposed in the primary. District 56 includes Roswell, southern portions of Alpharetta and Milton, and roughly the area west of Jones Bridge Road in Johns Creek. In District 48, doctor Michelle Au received around 77 percent of the vote, beating Josh Uddin to be the Democrat vying to represent east Johns Creek and parts of Gwinnett County. Attorney Matt Reeves will be running on the Republican ticket. State House Most state house races in North Fulton did not have contested primaries. One exception was District 49, which includes most of Alpharetta and a sliver of northwest Johns Creek. Incumbent State Rep. Chuck Martin was unopposed on the Republican ticket. For Democrats, Alpharetta physician Jason Hayes beat out Ken Lawler 54 to 46 percent. Fulton County For the Fulton County Board of Education District 1, incumbent Katha Stuart was unopposed.

CARSON COOK/HERALD

Campaigners wave signs in front of Messiah Lutheran Church in Johns Creek, one of the voting locations for the June 9 election.

For the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, Republican incumbent Bob Ellis faced no primary challenge for his district seat, which represents Milton and portions of Alpharetta, Roswell and Sandy Springs. Ellis will square off in November against Democrat Justin Holsomback. For Fulton County Sheriff, Incumbent Ted Jackson, who received about 45 percent of the vote, will have to compete in a runoff against Pat Labat, who each have received 23 percent. The Fulton County District Attorney race is also headed for a runoff. Fani Willis is in the lead with 42 percent of the vote, followed by incumbent Paul Howard at 35 percent. The runoff election will be August 11, 2020. Those wishing to vote in that election must register to vote or update their voter registration by July 13.

Alpharetta begins Phase I of equestrian center renovations By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Equestrians and horse fans alike will soon see some much-needed upgrades to the Wills Park Equestrian Center. The Alpharetta City Council voted unanimously at the June 1 meeting to approve a partnership with the Wills Park Equestrian Foundation to improve the center. The partnership will allow the city and nonprofit to pool together $500,000 for the project. Half of that money was put into the city’s budget two years ago, while the second half was raised by the foundation during that time span. At the June 1 meeting, the City Council also approved a $76,000 contract with the city’s on-call contractor Pond & Company for Phase I planning services for the equestrian center renovations. All council members, except for the mayor, were in favor of the contract. Mayor Jim Gilvin said he has supported the center’s renovations for years, but with the current economic downturn, he could not justify the contract’s funding if the city could not afford to give its employees pay raises. The equestrian center and Wills Park originally belonged to Fulton County and was bought by the city in the 1990s. The center has not seen any major renovations or improvements since it was inherited by Alpharetta. About three years ago, however, the city conducted a comprehensive review of its parks and realized the center need-

The center has not seen any major renovations or improvements since it was inherited by Alpharetta. ed a master plan for some long overdue upgrades. “We’re renovating a facility that has really good bones to more up-to-date standards that Alpharetta can be proud of and will continue to draw a high level of equestrian events,” said Recreation, Parks & Cultural Services Director Morgan Rodgers. That plan was approved by the mayor and City Council December 2018 with two concepts: one with a competition focus and the other with a community focus. The concepts are identical except for the location of a new arena. “The mayor and Council basically said, ‘Figure out which way is best and most cost efficient and go with that,’” Rodgers said. “That way, we didn’t have to go back before the mayor and City Council, because they had approved both plans.” Project heads ultimately decided that the best location for the new arena is at the old maintenance facility’s location in the heart of the equestrian center. The maintenance facility will be moved to the back of the center as a part of Phase I.

CITY OF ALPHARETTA/SPECIAL

Phase I of the Wills Park Equestrian Center includes moving the maintenance facility, construction of a new arena and expansion of parking space. The first phase also includes expanding current parking space. The novelty of Alpharetta’s equestrian center has been a point of interest for the community as well as an economic boon for the city. “We’re the only place around that has an equestrian center in their downtown area,” Rodgers said. “It’s a draw for a lot of the people that like to show their horses. They have a place to come to. But it also allows access for our local community to enjoy high quality horse shows and local events like the rodeo.” The center regularly hosts events

Milton extends state of emergency through July 12 By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — The City of Milton will continue to operate under a state of emergency through July 12. The decision is in line with the governor’s statewide Public Health State of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Milton City Council adopted the newest emergency ordinance at a June 8 special called City Council meeting. The vote was unanimous, with council members Carol Cookerly and Rick Mohrig not in attendance. The city has repeatedly reviewed and renewed the declaration of a state of emergency each month since it first went

into effect mid-March. Each declaration is effective for 30 days in accordance to the city’s charter. Milton’s most recent declaration is functionally the same as its previous iterations. “There are a variety of reasons to implement [the new declaration],” said City Attorney Ken Jarrard. “Not to mention it gives us a little more flexibility with respect to any emergency situations that come up.” With the emergency declaration, the city can enact curfews, loosen existing city regulations, and close businesses or public areas to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. It will also help the city with any reimbursement opportunities, Jarrard said. While the newest declaration passed unanimously, Councilman Paul Moore said he had some concerns with the governor’s actions and how it will impact local small businesses. “I’m disappointed in the governor’s decree at the moment,” he said. “There are

The City of Alpharetta estimates that from July 2018-June 2019, about 125,000 participants at the equestrian center brought in $8.5 million to the local economy. Phase I of the renovations is expected to take 1-1.5 years to complete. Phase II includes renovating existing horse rings, and Phase III covers renovating existing horse stalls.

The first phase calls for continued use of remote city services, teleworking when practical and limited gatherings of city employees. It outlines plans to reopen park activities as well as resuming City Council, board and committee meetings. The city will consider moving on to Phase Two, which would increase inperson activity in City Hall as well as park and recreation facilities, once the state of emergency expires.

SCHOOLS

Fulton mulls three scenarios for August school opening ‘In person’ is preferable, says Supt. Looney By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com The Fulton County Board of Education met in person last week for the first time since March with the conversation now focused on safely reopening school buildings in August with the threat of COVID still present. Superintendent Mike Looney said the district is on track to open as planned on Aug. 10. He laid out three scenarios for safely opening the district’s 102 school buildings. Scenario One: All students and staff will report in traditional face-to-face structure for instruction and work, with modified social distancing and cleaning practices in place. Scenario Two: If there is a recurrence or resurgence of COVID-19, the district will continue with remote learning and remote work environment until clearance is given by public health officials. Scenario Three: Fulton County Schools will implement a new model that includes a blend of remote and in-person instruction. Schools will open with 50 percent of students in

Fulton Schools approves tentative budget for FY21

schools and 50 percent remote learning. The groups would switch every two weeks. A decision on which scenario the board selects will likely be made at a special board meeting called for June 29. The FY21 starts on July 1. Looney made clear his preference is a return to in person instruction, with appropriate precautions in place, as the best situation for student learning. If public health concerns force the district into Scenario Two or Three, we recognize these are less than ideal for instruction,” Looney said, citing data which reinforces face-to-face as the most effective model for instruction. Should learning remain remote, board members expressed this would be particularly challenging for kindergarten students and parents who would lose valuable classroom learning. “It’s not appropriate to hand [kindergartners] a laptop and expect them to be proficient,” Looney agreed. “Anything short of face to face [instruction] is not where we want to be, and it is substandard to what we would otherwise offer.”

The Fulton School Board of Education approved a tentative budget for Fiscal Year 2021 which keeps the millage rate unchanged, but borrows heavily from the district’s reserve funds to balance the budget. The tentative budget of nearly $1.06 billion for FY21 is a one percent decrease from the current year’s budget. District leaders had been preparing for a 14 percent across the board cut to all state agencies, including the Georgia Department of Education, as the economy slows under the COVID pandemic. While it appears the 14 percent cut could be worst case scenario, and will likely be less, Fulton financial leaders pointed to persistently high unemployment figures that will impact tax revenue. “The COVID pandemic has had a severe economic impact to state and local tax revenue,” said Marvin Dereef, chief financial officer for Fulton Schools. “The unemployment rate in Georgia was 3.1 percent before COVID, and now we sit at 11.9 percent.” The expected state raise for

teachers appears off the board, but at this point Fulton Schools has not discussed furloughs or staff reductions for the coming year. To balance Fulton School’s billiondollar budget in FY21, Dereef is recommending a $17.6 million drawdown from the district’s reserve funds. The money will be used for textbooks, risk management, charter system, and student information systems. He noted the drawdown still keeps the reserve funds at $194M by the end of FY21, which is 18 percent of the overall annual budget. State guidelines recommend a 15 percent threshold. However, if the economy fails to improve over the next few years, and reserve funds continue to plug holes, the reserve funds could dwindle quickly. “Fulton County Schools will have to make tough decisions,” Dereef told the school board. “[In the worst-case scenario] if we do nothing, by 2025 we will be at one percent of the budget which represents less than one week of expenditures.” — Candy Waylock

Of all of the challenges we expected to face, a pandemic with such devastating economic effects was not one of them. DAVID CRAIG, ETHAN CRAIG AND HOLLI HUTSON, Tap & Six co-owners 10 | Milton Herald | June 18, 2020

Roswell craft beer market permanently closes amidst pandemic By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Tap & Six has joined a growing number of businesses folding under the strains of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact. The family-owned craft beer market and bar, located on Oak Street, announced June 4 that it would host its last call on June 14. The closure came as an unexpected shock to co-owners David Craig, Ethan Craig and Holli Hutson. “Of all of the challenges we expected to face, a pandemic with such devastating economic effects was not one of them,” the owners said in a statement. “The bar/restaurant business is tough on a good day. It requires a steady flow of customers in order to be profitable and pay team members for their har work. Tap & Six was conceived around the idea of gathering — a place for friends and family to come together to enjoy a beer and spend time connecting. Unfortunately, that doesn’t align with our current reality.” Before the pandemic hit Georgia in mid-March, business had been going strong after its second-year anniversary celebration November 2019, David said. “We always that if we can made it two years, we’d be fine,” he said. “Those are the toughest years for a restaurant or a business. We actually were doing really well heading into 2020. Our bookings were up, our traffic was up, our revenue was up… “But in the second half of March, everything went south.” Tap & Six, like many businesses, was closed all of April as local and state governments worked to mitigate the

Local restaurants close due to pandemic Several food and beverage businesses have had to permanently close their doors in the wake of COVID-19’s economic downturn. Some of the local restaurants and bars include: • Big Pie in the Sky in Roswell • C&S Seafood and Oyster Bar in Roswell • Cafe Sunflower in Sandy Springs • Duke’s Bar & Grill in Milton • Tap & Six in Roswell • The Big Ketch in Roswell spread of COVID-19. The owners turned to curb-side pickup to make up for lost foot traffic, but as a business designed for gatherings and events, the margins just weren’t there, David said. “The only thing that honestly kept us going as long as it did was the Paycheck Protection Program loan we got from the Small Business Association,” he said. “But even that was a temporary solution.” Tap & Six was given clearance to open in Roswell after a 2017 ordinance change allowed for craft beer markets. It was the first of its kind in the city. Over the years, Tap & Six has hosted several events, including birthday parties, rehearsal dinners and community gatherings as well as weekly game nights and trivia nights, all of which staff was unable to restart once businesses began reopening in May and June this year. After weighing all possible outcomes, however, the owners concluded Tap & Six’s future did not look good and closed up shop.

TAP & SIX/SPECIAL

Tap & Six in Roswell permanently closed its doors June 14 citing economic troubles stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. “In some ways, this is a really hard decision emotionally, because we put so much of ourselves into it,” David said. “In other ways, we’re really grateful for all of the friends we’ve made, the people we’ve gotten to know.” He added that another blessing of the business was being able to work so closely with his wife and son, who had just graduated from college when Tap & Six opened. David said that although he wishes he could have found a better way to navigate the economic downturn, he has no regrets with Tap & Six. For now, David and Holli are taking a break, while Ethan has moved to Chicago to start a new venture with 3-D printing.

GEORGIA — Roswell State Rep. Mary Robichaux and Democratic House Caucus Chairman James Beverly hosted a virtual town hall June 11 to discuss police and criminal justice reform. Earlier that day Georgia Democrats unveiled the “Georgia Justice Act,” a package of law enforcement policies in response the protests that have erupted across the country in recent weeks. The legislation would require all police to wear and use body cameras, limit no knock warrants and police chases, ban rubber bullets and choke holds, provide post-traumatic stress disorder training to police, increase reporting and accountability standards and require a special prosecutor in police prosecutions to eliminate potential conflicts of interest. Democrats are also pushing for the state to pass a hate crimes bill, repeal citizen’s arrest and stand your ground laws, reduce marijuana penalties, allow felons who have completed their sentences to vote and remove qualified immunity from officers to make it easier for victims of excessive force to bring a lawsuit against them. Robichaux described the package as

“aggressive, but very much needed.” The minority party has attempted unsuccessfully to pass many of these policies in past sessions. Last year, a hate crimes bill passed with bipartisan support in the state house but was held up in committee in the senate. Georgia is currently one of only a few states in the nation that does not have a hate crimes law. Following the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed black jogger in Brunswick, passing such legislation has gained momentum. The Metro Atlanta Chamber and Georgia Chamber of Commerce jointly urged the legislature to act. The bill on the table, H.B. 426, would grant judges the ability to impose an enhanced sentence if the court proves beyond reasonable doubt that a crime was motivated by the victim’s actual or perceived race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender or mental or physical disability. Beverly said he was most optimistic about passing the hate crimes legislation and reforming the citizens arrest code, which has been on the books since 1863. “Those are the two I really think can come out,” he said. “The other ones we’re going to push for very hard, and

Summer conditioning gets underway for Fulton, Forsyth schools By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — Student athletes have gotten back to the grind after the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to all high school sports in March and cancelled the remainder of the spring sports seasons. The GHSA permitted schools to begin workouts, with strict stipulations, on June 8. Forsyth County Schools permitted workouts immediately while Fulton County Schools began conditioning June 15. Schools must adhere to the guidelines outlined by the GHSA in allowing conditioning, including limiting the number of people in each group to 20 people or less. Athletes or coaches may not switch groups “for the duration of this guidance,” according to the GHSA’s document. Only workouts and conditioning are permitted. No equipment, including balls, bats or sleds, can be used. Showers and locker rooms will remain closed and weight equipment should be cleaned prior to each workout and between use by each individual. The guidelines also recommend hav@WESTSTRENGTH/TWITTER

West Forsyth football players work out at the school on June 11. The GHSA permitted student-athletes and coaches to begin summer conditioning last week.

ing hand sanitizer readily available, that masks be worn in weight rooms and each student should have a personal water bottle. Summer conditioning is the first semblance of normalcy for student athletes and coaches since March, but the future of the 2020-21 season is still a question mark. While some professional sports have returned without fans and others are creating contingency plans to get back to play, the GHSA has not yet announced any plans for the upcoming academic year. The first full practices for football, volleyball, cross-country and softball are scheduled to begin Aug. 1 on the GHSA’s 2020-21 calendar.

Historical project documents lived COVID-19 experiences By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life as we know it for most, and one group has set out to capture the everyday stories of this moment in history. The Milton Historical Society has put out a call for interviews with Milton residents from all walks of life. Once they reach their goal of speaking with at least 400 people, roughly 1 percent of Milton’s population, the organization will release a documentary film entitled “Milton Memoirs 2020,” said Milton Historical Society President Jeff Dufresne. The project will create an audio and visual archive of real stories detailing how COVID-19 has impacted Milton’s community. The historical society wants to hear from everyone they can, including first responders, business owners, government officials, parents, retirees and students. “From a historical point of view, epidemics reveal a community’s anxieties, but also illuminate the profound kindness, generosity and cooperation we are capable of,” Dufresne said. “We have a lot to learn from them. Because of the coronavirus, 2020 will be a year that we will never forget in Milton. We must preserve these reflections for future generations.” As a part of the project, historical society members are conducting virtual meetings through the Zoom app to record conversations while adhering to CDC safety guidelines. They hope to reach their goal of 400 interviews by the end of 2020, Dufresne said. So far, the organization has recorded more than two dozen interviews, and they are eager for more, he added. “From challenges to heartwarming stories of neighbor helping neighbor, we all have stories to tell,” he said. “The stories told by our citizens will forever be part of Milton’s history.” The idea for “Milton Memoirs 2020” came about in April after a historical society board member, Joan Borzilleri, heard about a similar project taking place at a historical society in Massachusetts. “[They] are asking citizens to share their experiences of being quarantined as part of their historical society’s collection on world events that affect the home front,” Dufresne said. “Since we all were just getting use to Zoom meetings, I thought this was a great opportunity for the Milton Historical Society to capture the spirit of this local community during this historic event via Zoom conversations.”

JULIA GROCHOWSKI/HERALD

Milton Historical Society President Jeff Dufresne is collecting local stories about the pandemic for the documentary Milton Memoirs 2020.

The project is the first of its kind for the Milton Historical Society, which was established in 2018 to collect, preserve, interpret and promote the City of Milton’s history. Anyone interested in participating in the project can email Dufresne at jeff@ MiltonGAHistoricalSociety.com. Organizers are anticipating a 2021 release of the documentary on the historical society’s website MiltonGAHistoricalSociety.com.

In Memoriam

Martha Ann Murphy

On Thursday, June 4th, 2020, Martha Ann Murphy, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at the age of 27. Martha Ann was born on June 26th, 1992 in Atlanta, GA. From a young age, Martha Ann showed her competitive spirit through the many hours she spent practicing and competing all over the country with Dynamo Swim Club, where she still holds a top 10 all-time Dynamo record in the 200-meter backstroke. She graduated from Atlanta Country Day School in 2010 where she was Valedictorian of her class. Though Martha Ann was always open to receiving her letter to attend Hogwarts, she made her academic home at Oglethorpe University where she was mentored and challenged by a loving and supportive faculty and was awarded her degree in psychology. The years she spent at Oglethorpe nurtured her intellectual, artistic, and spiritual life and began her interest in trauma research that centered on how to cope with frequent and prolonged hospitalizations. After graduation, she took a year to combine two of her loves by teaching Art and AP Psychology at Atlanta Country Day School. She also furthered her understanding of clinical settings by volunteering at Northside Hospital Forsyth’s Emergency Room. At the time of her death, Martha Ann was in her second year of a PhD program at Mercer University in Atlanta in Clinical Medical Psychology, and she was fiercely optimistic and proud, even in the face of repeated health challenges, of reaching the milestone of her white coat ceremony. Martha Ann was a deeply spiritual person who loved learning and had a compassionate curiosity about the world. She became a wealth of knowledge on any subject that piqued her interest. She was a rare and authentic soul who embraced life’s abstract, quirky, philosophical questions with a merciful wisdom and openness to

multiple perspectives. The artwork she leaves behind is a source of comfort to her family, but how she lived, struggled, and found joy in her life is her ultimate work of art. Martha Ann showed courage in living with a congenital heart defect and chronic illness in her 27 years of life, and she used her insight and experiences to be an empathetic resource to anyone who felt like an outsider or experienced pain. Everyone from children to practicing medical professionals was inspired by Martha Ann’s passion to learn and teach others. When asked about her legacy, Martha Ann charged us to honor her through living our own beautiful lives, echoed in one of her favorite poets Mary Oliver’s question to all of us: “Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do With your one wild and precious life?” Martha Ann is survived by her parents, Martha and Sonny; sisters Rachel, Sarah, Sharon Murphy Augustine (Mike), and Nancy Harter; three nieces, Hailey, Kathleen, and Shyla; grandmother, Shirley Widner; aunts and uncles, Jane and Cofield Widner, Joann and John Norman, and Gail and Bill Murphy; many cousins, and her ever-faithful Italian Greyhound, Wally. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather William A. “Bill” Widner and paternal grandparents Therrell Murphy, Sr. and Elizabeth Murphy. A private, family service will be held on Saturday, June 13th, 2020. A celebration of Martha Ann’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her honor to Oglethorpe University www.oglethorpe.edu/give2ou Condolences may be expressed at www.mcdonaldandson.com.

Fitness center for 55 plus opens in Alpharetta ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Brendan Skeen, CEO of 55 Fitness, recently announced the opening of the company’s first center at 8470 Holcomb Bridge Road, in the Ellard Village Shopping Center. “Alpharetta is our first chosen market because of the positive and energetic atmosphere in the area,” Skeen said. “We focus our fitness and wellness programs to those adults 55 and over. The response has been overwhelming from the community. People seem to be eager to get involved with fitness and well-being and taking

care of themselves… and we’re here to help them.” After over 20 years in the senior homecare industry, Skeen identified the tremendous demand for a fitness facility designed to meet the specific needs of the rapidly growing 55 and over population. He partnered with his mother Donna Skeen, who herself has over 40 years of experience in senior services and mental health services, to address these needs in the fitness industry. 55 Fitness is a gym where mature adults can improve their overall health and wellness in a truly unintimidating and supportive community of peers, Brendan said.
