Police investigate damage at academy sports facility House sitter says visitor raided home of valuables MILTON, Ga. — Police were dispatched to Mill Springs Academy on June 18 after a school administrator reported that someone tried to saw a gate at one of the sports fields.

MILTON, Ga. — Police responded to a Northpark Lane home late June 18 for an alleged theft.

The complainant told police she was house sitting for the 63-year-old homeowner when a woman knocked on the door and calmly claimed she was there to pick up some of her belongings. The

house sitter noticed a bag matching the description of what the woman was asking for, so she gave it to the woman. She said she was convinced by the woman’s calm, confident demeanor, according to police.

Later in the evening, the suspect returned and said she needed to pick up the rest of her belongings. The woman walked into the homeowner’s bedroom, filled a garment bag with items and grabbed four shoe boxes, then left.

The house sitter said she became suspicious at that point and contacted the homeowner. He told her she’d just allowed a “stranger” to rob him. The stolen items were valued at $3,000, according to police.

Investigators later identified the suspect as a 31-year-old Alpharetta woman. She had not been charged as of press time.

North metro cities alter fireworks ordinances for July 4th

BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com It is no surprise north Atlanta metro cities and counties enforce strict rules on the residential use of fireworks. While they are a celebratory staple for events and holidays, the noise, light and fire risks they produce have prompted governments to place limitations.

Every city has its own designated times and noise ordinances for fireworks usage.

Residents in Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Johns Creek, Dunwoody, and Cumming might not be aware that the regulations change for major holidays such as the Fourth of July. Here is a breakdown of each city’s ordinances for fireworks usage when celebrating the birth of our nation.

Milton Milton has the most severe rules governing the use or possession of fireworks due to the number of residential properties with horses and livestock. Fireworks are known to have adverse effects on animals and people. For these reasons, the city does not permit the use of noisy fireworks at any time in any way outside of a few designated holidays. For July 3 and 4, residents can

use louder fireworks between 10 a.m. and midnight. When it comes to Milton City parks, the use or possession of fireworks in any capacity is illegal.

Alpharetta Alpharetta has long extended the time for fireworks around Independence Day. For July 3 and 4, residential fireworks are permitted until 11:59 p.m. No one under the age of 18 can purchase fireworks, and the minimum age for possession is 16.

Roswell Roswell allows fireworks until 11:59 p.m. on July 3 and 4. Anyone wishing to use them outside of the established hours must have a permit from the city. For safety reasons, fireworks cannot be used within 100 yards of water treatment plants, gas stations, electric substations, hospitals, nursing homes or healthcare facilities. No one under the age of 18 may purchase fireworks.

Johns Creek In July 2018, Johns Creek adjusted its laws regarding fireworks regulations and times. Unlike most cities, they permit the use of consumer fireworks between 10

a.m. and 11:59 p.m. on any day of the year including July 3 and 4. However, fireworks are prohibited in the city’s public parks without a written permit from the city. The fire department wants all users to place their used fireworks in a bucket of water before throwing them away to ensure they are extinguished.

Dunwoody As a general rule, Dunwoody limits the use of fireworks to 9 p.m. For July 3 and 4, residential usage is permitted between 10 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. the extended hours also apply to other major holidays, like Labor Day and New Years.

Forsyth County Most residences with a Cumming address fall under Forsyth County’s laws and ordinances. Fireworks are permitted July 3 and 4 allow for fireworks to be fired off until midnight. They cannot be used on roads or highways, and it is illegal to fire them off within 100 yards of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, nuclear power plants, and gas stations.

Milton moves to add TSPLOST referendum to November ballot

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — The Milton City Council moved June 21 to allow residents a vote on extending a .75-cent local sales tax that could bring in about $36 million for transportation improvements to the city over the next five years.

The council approved an intergovernmental agreement with the 13 Fulton County cities outside of Atlanta to distribute revenues if the referendum is approved by voters. While the council’s move effectively shows its support for letting voters decide on extending the tax, it did not finalize the referendum’s addition to the November ballot.

All 13 cities have until July 2 to sign the agreement. After that, the Fulton County Commission will consider formally adding the TSPLOST referendum to the November ballot.

TSPLOST II would continue the transportation sales tax voters approved in 2016. Milton would be in line for about $36 million over five years for use on local transportation projects, such as intersections improvements or sidewalk construction.

Milton has completed several projects with funds from the first

TSPLOST, which ends in March. The tax has provided funding for the Charlotte Drive extension and its roundabout at Mayfield Road. Several projects currently in the works are also funded by the transportation sales tax, including the Morris Road widening, the Hopewell/Thompson Road roundabout and intersection improvements at Bethany Bend, Bethany Way and Hopewell Road.

If the tax is extended, estimates peg total revenues for the Fulton County cities at about $546 million, with each city’s allocation determined by population. According to city documents, Milton is home to about 6.6 percent of the county’s population outside of Atlanta.

In May, Milton approved a list of projects it will pursue with its potential TSPLOST revenues.

While neighboring cities such as Alpharetta and Roswell have identified specific projects, Milton is keeping its cards close to its chest.

The only specific project on Milton’s list are improvements along Cox Road which comes with a cost estimate of $5 million. Milton Transportation Engineer Sara Leaders previously said improvements could be slated for several roadway intersections.

$19 EXPRESS EMISSIONS TESTING

The city’s remaining projects will likely be influenced by its local road safety plan, which is being drafted, and its upcoming 2022 comprehensive transportation plan.

Along with its neighbors, Milton has broken its project list down into three tiers. Tier I, or top-priority projects will account for about 85 percent of Milton’s projected revenues. Any remaining funds will be used for cost overruns on Tier I projects or for additional initiatives.

The city’s list of Tier I projects includes, with few specifics: • $6 million for intersection “efficiency” and “safety” improvements • $5 million for Cox Road intersection improvements • $5 million for road repaving • $3 million for bike/pedestrian accommodations • $3 million to implement Milton’s trails plan • $3 million to implement Milton’s local road safety plan • $1 million for “quick response” projects Fulton County is expected to adopt a resolution placing the TSPLOST referendum on the November ballot Aug. 2. Election Day is set for Nov. 2.

last October are transformative. The tree crashed through nearly the middle of the structure, which left just one major wall usable in the upgraded building. Despite the congregation’s efforts to navigate the debris, the church’s library was left exposed to the elements.

But now, there are now additional restrooms, a modern HVAC and electrical system, finishes that still smell of fresh paint, and an all-new roof, cabinets and countertops with other features.

And the tree that caused the extensive damage to the building is now a part of its structure. Pieces of the tree were taken to a local mill, and the lumber was used for the building’s steps. Another large piece serves as the mantle over the new fireplace.

Cagle said he thinks people have to make the effort, but “the Lord will make the way,” and he feels that was evident throughout the cleanup and renovation

The Best Kept Secret in Alpharetta Since 1987

The fellowship building reopened in June following months of repairs and renovations.

ES

TI

MILTON, Ga. — Pastor Randall Cagle said he “cried like a baby” last October when a mighty oak smashed the fellowship building at Boiling Springs Primitive Baptist Church in Milton.

High winds from then-Tropical Storm Zeta had felled the tree, cutting the building in half.

Given the significance the church has had on his spiritual and personal life, Cagle’s reaction was understandable.

Dedicated in 1837 off Birmingham Road, Boiling Springs was the first in North Georgia to be constituted as a Primitive Baptist church.

Cagle’s grandfather served as a deacon at the church. His father was the pastor of the congregation for 20 years.

Cagle said Boiling Springs was the first building his father was taken to following his birth, and it was the last he visited a week before his death.

For Cagle, it was where he has attended services all 64 years of his life.

He was baptized there in 1966 and was ordained as gospel minister in 1987.

After stints with other Primitive Baptist churches in the area, he was called home to serve as Boiling Springs pastor

last March, just ahead of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

With so much of his life invested and influenced by the church, Cagle was devastated last October when he fielded a call that a tree had fallen on the congregation’s fellowship building.

And he was overcome when he saw the extensive damage the massive trunk fall had caused, practically bifurcating the structure.

But when he was approached by someone who had witness the damaged, Cagle responded that the church would not just bounce back, it would “bounce forward.”

After months of cleanup, renovations and community action, the church’s fellowship building reopened its doors last month to continue as a hub for the local congregation. And with new amenities and finishes, it has, in Cagle’s words, bounced forward.

“We’re very blessed and we are very pleased,” Cagle said. “Everybody is excited.”

The new building, separate from the nearby worship center, will host the church’s Tuesday night Bible study and other gatherings, including an upcoming meeting of Primitive Baptist church leaders.

process. From small by-chance happenings, like finding a tree removal service at just the right time, adopting an expedited build schedule and the congregation unanimously agreeing to the renovation plans, Cagle said everything worked out well.

The renovations were also a part of a larger community effort. While the church’s insurance covered much of the costs, there were other aspects that required funding. Cagle said the church received several anonymous donations, and even churches outside Georgia contributed to the $45,000 additional dollars that were required to construct the new fellowship center.

Despite the emotional day when he saw a vital part of the church that has so impacted his life destroyed, Cagle is thrilled with the end result.

“We didn’t know it would be a blessing, but it has been,” Cagle said.

y p p Ha INDEPENDENCE DAY!

As you plan your celebration, keep in mind the following about fireworks.

Milton is the proud home of veterans with PTSD and sensitive animals who react adversely to loud, persistent, explosive bangs. Following the rules can make a world of difference to your neighbors.

• Fireworks are only allowed in Milton on a handful of days – including 10 a.m. to midnight on July 3 and 4.

• At all other times, any noises louder than 55 decibels are prohibited per Milton’s City Code.

• Even on permitted days, fireworks can’t be used on a public road, a City park, or within 100 yards of a nursing home, health care facility, gas station/fuel tank, electric substation or historic site.

• Any fireworks used should be approved by the U.S. government.

• It’s illegal to set off fireworks when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• If you suspect someone of violating Milton’s fireworks regulations, call 911.

Did you know...

Horses are strong, powerful animals who sometimes grow to 1,200 pounds or more. Yet even at their size, when scared, a horse’s instinct is to run (so “flight” rather than “fight”). When they do, they can pose a danger to themselves, other animals, people trying to corral them, and nearby property. Horse owners can guard against this if they know what’s coming. So please limit fireworks to the allowed times and, even within those times, tell neighbors with horses your plans.

Milton High School students set to premiere their stage play with Milton Community Theatre

BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Attending high school while participating in a largescale stage production is a difficult task.

However, Milton High School students JackDUNLAP son Dunlap and Madeline Parker are taking on the larger task of directing their own award-winning one act show, Trainwreck! The Musical, which is set to premiere as a mainstage production at Milton High School’s theatre from July 9-11. The PARKER two have collaborated with Milton Arts Council and Milton Community Theatre to bring their farcical murder mystery to a larger audience.

“It has been a pleasure to work with this talented and dedicated group of community members to bring arts to

d ! ite nly Lim e O Tim

the city of Milton,” said Shelley Hogan, Milton Arts Council Director, and the show’s Executive Producer. “When I saw it, I was immediately excited about the possibility of producing a full, one act version and bringing it to a Milton stage.”

The “melodramatic spoof” is set entirely during a train ride featuring original songs and a variety of colorful characters. The cast is composed of current or recent graduates of the high school’s Advanced Drama program with rehearsals running throughout the summer. Bringing their own distinct vision for the show’s set, lights, costumes, and music, Dunlap and Parker are excited to put their first “full-on writing experience” to the stage.

“It’s definitely a new experience being on the directing side of things, especially since we are working with our friends and peers as the cast. But they are genuinely some of the most talented kids in this community,” Parker said in a press release.

“We are beyond excited to have the Milton community on the edge of their seats guessing whodunnit,” Dunlap

said in a press release.

The musical parody was originally written by the students as an entry for Georgia’s ThesCon, an annual thespian conference. After receiving much praise, the two decided to turn it into a full- length production after they were offer the chance to work with the community theatre. The show begins at 7 p.m. for the first two nights closing with a Sunday matinee at 3 p.m. for their final performance.

“My favorite thing about the show is how much fun it is! It is laugh out loud funny and it shines through that the kids love what they’re doing,” Hogan said. “I am in complete awe of the creativity, professionalism, talent level, and sheer commitment that these actors have brought to the process. I have been thoroughly impressed with Jackson and Madeline‘s dedication to not only telling a funny story, but doing it with a great set, original music, and thoughtful direction. They are a pleasure to work with!”

“As our third Milton Community Theatre production, we are proud to showcase Trainwreck! as an example of our local talent.

The office vacancy and the want to be here at Halcyon is blowing up so much...”

ALEX WARNER, Forward Forsyth existing industry project manager 8 | Milton Herald | July 1, 2021

Halcyon underway with second phase of development

By ANTHONY PARLOGEAN newsroom@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — In the aftermath of last year’s economic downturn, Halcyon continues to draw new business.

The 135-acre, mixed-use community in south Forsyth County has an array of new developments underway this summer as part of its second building phase.

Of note is the third creative office space, Building 1100, which is set for completion by the end of the year.

Phil Mays, principal of Halcyon developer RocaPoint Partners, said the four-story Building 1100 will add 60,000 square feet to the mixed-use community.

Alex Warner, Existing Industry project manager at Forward Forsyth, said Building 1100 already has occupancy agreements for nearly 90 percent of its office space.

Forward Forsyth is an economic development wing of the Forsyth County Chamber and local governments.

“The office vacancy and the want to be here at Halcyon is blowing up so much, in fact from an economic development standpoint we have multiple projects that are bidding to take up the entire second office tower,” Warner said. “Just one company taking up all the square footage.”

Mays said other phase two developments include The Forum Athletic Club, occupying a 23,000-squarefoot space, and a 5,000-square-foot dog boarding and grooming studio. Embassy Suites by Hilton has a 152room hotel set for completion early next year.

Overall, Mays said Halcyon withstood the economic downturn well. In all, 14 new businesses have opened since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. They include Rise & Wine, Salata Salad Kitchen, Derbyshire and Board & Brush Creative Studio. CMX CinéBistro has reopened after being closed during the pandemic, Mays said.

No restaurant in Halcyon had to close its doors during the pandemic. In fact, according to an economic analysis by the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce, there were no restaurants in the entire area of Forsyth County that closed their doors during the pandemic — there were two restaurants that relocated at the end of their lease.

During the pandemic, Halcyon businesses used

HALCYON

The new Building 1100, now under construction at Halcyon, will provide 60,000 square feet of office space. creative ways to connect with their community. Alisa Tanner-Wall and her brother, Nick Tanner, owners and operators of Cherry Street Brewpub, implemented initiatives such as Takeout Tuesday, Takeout Bingo and local neighborhood deliveries.

“I think people already kind of knew about us and the different involvements that we had in the community prior,” Tanner-Wall said. “I think that definitely helped ensure that people were supporting us as much as we tried to support them.”

In addition to local initiatives, the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce implemented an aggressive economic recovery plan primarily focused on restaurants and retailers.

“We worked with everybody to varying degrees on how to be resilient to change up the way they were doing business,” said James McCoy, president of the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce. “[This allowed businesses] to understand what the emergency powers were that would let them do things that they weren’t

able to do under normal circumstances.”

Georgia’s state of emergency provided businesses some leeway in operations. Restaurants, for example, were allowed to perform home deliveries without requisite inspections, McCoy said.

Forsyth County implemented a grant program, FOCO Cares, which allocated $2 million to eligible small businesses affected by the pandemic.

Federal assistance came through Small Business Administration programs like Economic Injury Disaster Loans and the Paycheck Protection Program.

Mays said the combination of community outreach, state and federal resources and the ongoing phases of development have contributed to the economic resiliency of Halcyon.

“While the world slowed down over the course of the pandemic, Halcyon has been able to successfully bounce back thanks to the ongoing support and engagement from the Forsyth and surrounding metro Atlanta communities,” he said.

Outdoor trends of summer 2021 Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS, Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Even with the world opening back up, many of us have found new comfort in staying at home. Outdoor dinner parties and drinks on the deck are just a couple of the many favorite summertime activities that don’t require going anywhere, especially if you have a great outdoor space. This year’s outdoor living trends are all about making your backyard, porch or even balcony a regular part of everyday life.

1. Bridging Indoors and Outdoors You want your outdoor space to feel like an extension of your home. To achieve that, use string lights to give the illusion of a ceiling. Other ways to do this include adding throw pillows, blankets and area rugs! According to a recent Google report, “indoor-outdoor spaces” is one of the most significantly searched trends of the season, and it’s seen a 155.56% increase in popu-

3. Gardens and Planters The best thing about this trend is that nearly anyone can do it — whether you have a sprawling lawn or a small balcony.

This pandemic inspired many people to plant their own garden in order to get outside and supply their pantries with homegrown fruits, veggies and herbs. Fun and stylish planters are also a great way to add personality to your outdoor space.

Plus, with a wide variety to choose from, decorative planters are easy to customize to every area and style.

with the outdoor kitchen. This space has become wildly popular over the last few years, and designers keep adding new features and styles that can make it an even more functional and beautiful space. People spend all day in their office, and at the end of the workday, it’s time to head outside and do some grilling. But it’s not just for cooking; people want to entertain outdoors. An easy way to make that happen is to add bar stools or a dining set. Not only is this enjoyable, but it also increases the value of your home.

By implementing these 2021 trends, your outdoor space will be as functional as it is stylish, and you can truly enjoy the Georgia summertime. If you need assistance designing your outdoor spaces or have any other real estate needs, please contact Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty at 770.442.7300. We would be happy to assist you!

larity from last year.

2. Warm Outdoor Accents Nothing says summer quite like a spray of color on your patio. Shades of yellow, green and lilac give a calm, relaxing feel and pair well with flowers and foliage. So, it comes as no surprise that the international color experts at Pantone chose Illuminating Yellow as a Color of the Year for 2021!

The Power of Social Media in Real Estate Brought to you by Jody Tirone | Realtor®, Ansley Real Estate, O: 770.284.9900 l C: 404.451.3125 Let’s talk about social media. It’s tough to find someone who doesn’t have at least one social TIRONE media account. Scrolling through your feed several times a day is just part of our everyday life now, especially true after last year when shelter-in-place orders kept people inside and sent them to their phones and computers in record numbers resulting in an enormous increase in social media use.

Social media is pervasive, intrusive, addictive and can be a helpful resource, especially in the real estate industry – after all it’s easier than ever now for people to go online and find their dream home and connect with an agent! With a large and interactive following on Instagram and Facebook, we see the power of social media in action every day on the Ansley Real Estate channels (@ansleyrealesate) where we communicate and engage with a staggering number of people 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Technological advancements with social media have truly changed the way we search for homes and forever altered the way real estate agents do business. According to survey find-

ings by Pew Research Center, 79% of the 18-to-29-year-old demographic use Facebook, and 67% use Instagram. Of 30-to-49-year-olds, 82% use at least one social media platform, Facebook and Instagram being the prevailing favorites.

This trend mirrors activity in the housing market as well with Millennials and GenZ representing the largest group of homebuyers in recent years.

These two generations will likely represent the majority of homebuyers for the foreseeable future, and how they consume information centers around social media. What started out as a way for people to hang out with their friends online has turned into a place where people can engage in meaningful conversations. Without this type of back-and-forth engagement, social media is just media. People don’t use social networks for a one-way experience, they are seeking a sense of community and connection with other people who have similar interests.

So, what does this mean for you? If you’re a buyer, look beyond the pretty pictures and tap into the power of social media to access market stats, neighborhood information and local resource.

Ask questions and get involved so you can make an informed decision about your next home. If you’re a seller, be sure you work with an agent who actively uses and understands social media and the importance of engaging with their followers to properly market your home and look for potential buyers.
