Police seek public’s help in carjacking incident MILTON, Ga. — The Police Department issued a public bulletin July 20 seeking tips on the whereabouts of four suspects wanted for an armed carjacking.

The carjacking happened July 2.

Police did not disclose the location where the incident occurred.

The victim and suspects, who knew each other, were passing through Milton from Cherokee County. Police said they stopped at the robbery location by happenstance, where the suspects reportedly jacked the victim’s Mercedes C-300, physically assaulted him and stole several other items. All five suspects were armed, one of them with a rifle, according to the victim.

Investigators identified the alleged carjackers as Keji Taylor, 24, of Ball Ground; Naeem Rashad Freeman, 24, of Ball Ground; Dyson Makeveli Richardson, 18, address not listed; Asante

PUBLIC SAFETY Demetrius Patterson, 24, of Lithonia; and Alexander Gabriel Quezada, 17, of Winder.

Cherokee County deputies captured Freeman.

Anyone with information about the other four suspects who remain at large can contact lead detective Scott Harrell at 678-242-2614, or via email at scot.harrell@cityofmiltonga.us.

Police urge people who encounter the suspects to use caution because they are likely armed.

Teen arrested speeding on Birmingham Highway MILTON, Ga. — A patrol officer clocked a vehicle going 84 mph along Birmingham Highway on July 19 in an area with a 45 mph speed limit.

When the officer pulled the Toyota Rav4 over, it was being driven by a 16-year-old girl.

The teen had a state learner’s permit that allowed her to drive only if a licensed driver over the age of 21 was sitting in the front passenger’s seat. The suspect’s only passenger was another juvenile.

Police cited the girl for reckless driving, speeding and driving while unlicensed. The officer allowed the teen’s father to drive her car from the scene.

Day laborer faces charges for robbing boss of cash MILTON, Ga. — Police were dispatched to a Spring View Drive home July 19 to settle a dispute between movers. The complainant said he works for a moving company and the suspect had responded to an online ad to assist the company with jobs for the day. He said the suspect worked 3 ½ hours at an agreed rate of $20 per hour.

When it was time to settle up for the day, the victim planned to pay the man $80. He said the suspect became aggressive and demanded more money, claiming he “usually gets paid at least $200 for jobs like this.”

The victim said he agreed to pay the man an additional hour — $90 — for being a hard worker, but that was all he could offer.

When the victim pulled out the cash to pay the suspect, he said the disgruntled man snatched the wad of bills out of his hand then punched him in the side of the head. The victim slipped in wet paint and fell to the ground. He got up and chased the suspect, who was able to escape in a Dodge Grand Caravan.

Officers were able to identify the suspect and obtained warrants for his arrest on charges of robbery by sudden snatching and battery.

Alpharetta man mauled after police respond to mental health call

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta police responded to a mental health call Sunday, but the situation escalated, and now the family is asking questions.

Officers restrained 36-year-old Travis Moya, brought him to the ground, subdued and handcuffed him. According to family members, police then commanded their K-9 to attack him.

After the incident, Moya was arrested and charged with a single felony count of willful obstruction of law enforcement officers by use of threats or violence. His family said he was not resisting.

At a press conference Thursday, Atlanta attorney Chris Stewart said the family planned to file a civil lawsuit against the Alpharetta Police Department. He also asked the Fulton County District Attorney to dismiss Moya’s charges and open an investigation into the officers and their actions.

The officers’ names have not been released. Jeffrey Ross, spokesman with the Alpharetta Police Department, said the incident is being investigated.

“At this time, no complaint has been filed in relation to this matter,” Ross said.

“However, per our policies, a use of force

Painted Horse saga ends with Milton approving limited activities on site

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — The Milton City Council voted Aug. 2 to allow the Painted Horse Winery and Vineyards to continue holding certain events, but generally only those that had occurred before those gatherings caused issues for some neighbors.

The council approved a permit request that will allow the 18-acre farm to host certain events like kids birthday parties or other “agricultural related activities.” However, other gatherings like weddings, corporate events or private parties — which some neighbors strongly opposed — are off the table after the Painted Horse chose to withdraw its permit application to host such events.

City Council members voted unanimously to approve the agricultural related activities permits, with variances that allow existing parking and a structure to remain in place, and to accept the Painted Horse’s withdrawal of a permit to operate as a “rural event facility.”

The council’s Aug. 2 decisions bring an end to months of occasionally heated discussions among the board, the business and surrounding homeowners on how the property can be operated. The vote comes after the board moved twice to table a decision.

The Painted Horse has contended it has been hosting events like birthday parties and weddings longer than the City of Milton has existed, and that those uses on the site were effectively “grandfathered” into the land use of the farm. However, the city has remained firm in its opposition, despite initially recommending approval of certain variances and permits before reversing course more recently. The city also says it has fielded a growing number of complaints of traffic, noise and other quality of life issues stemming from larger events at the business.

With the smoke now cleared, the Painted Horse will be able to continue hosting summer day camps, Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts gatherings, painting classes, “animal petting” and other limited events “tied to agriculture.”

The hours of operation for such gatherings will be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Thursday to Sunday. City staff’s suggested limit of 25 attendees per day on weekdays and a limit of 50 attendees on the weekends was approved.

Another condition includes that agricultural events “must conclude” prior to the winery’s tasting room opening its

doors to operate.

Several council members, including Laura Bentley, Paul Moore and Carol Cookerly, have voiced their opposition to potential intermingling between alcohol consumption taking place on the same property as an event for children.

At Monday’s meeting, Bentley said it’s an “either-or” issue.

“For me, the agricultural events can take place, but not at the same time the winery is open,” she said.

Cookerly said she is “absolutely against” the crossover between alcohol and agricultural uses.

Councilman Joe Longoria suggested the limitations on the number of people at each event should mitigate the “intensity of use” on the farm that has caused ire among nearby homeowners.

Following outcries from some neighbors and the council’s general opposition to the intensity of land use stemming in larger events being held in a residential area, the Painted Horse first withdrew its application to continue its “Uncorked” concert series that began last year. After hours of discussions at the council’s prior meeting — in which the board chose to defer its vote to Monday — the company chose to also abandon its plan to host more adult-centric events like private parties and weddings.

Many of those who spoke against the concerts and larger events at nearly half a dozen public meetings related to the permit requests shared their support for kids’ birthday parties and similar activities. Several have also voiced their support of the winery when it was approved in 2019. That approval came with another long list of appearances by the Painted Horse owner Pamela Jackson before the city to operate as the city had to alter many of its prior regulations to accommodate the business.

Jackson did not address the council at the Aug. 2 meeting.

Roswell Police detectives reflect on arrest in oldest unsolved homicide

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — After 33 years, two months and six days, Roswell police arrested the man they believe murdered 8-year-old Joshua Harmon, whose body was found in a wooded area 100 yards from the apartment complex where he lived.

It was the department’s oldest unsolved homicide. Master Police Officer Jennifer Bennett led the investigation for about four years. As an investigator of crimes against children, she knew the case would bring challenges, but she said she was determined to see it through.

“This case had a profound impact on the police department,” Bennett said.

“That any homicide, and especially a child homicide, would be unsolved for so long is incredibly frustrating. Some of us have grown up knowing of this case and to now have children of our own, it is distressing to know that there is a family that for 33 years has had few answers with regards to the death of their child.”

During a traffic stop July 21, officers arrested 56-year-old James Michael Coates from the back of an Uber and booked him into the Fulton County Jail.

In June, detectives received lab results from DNA evidence collected from the scene which linked him to the murder, and they were able to secure warrants for his arrest.

Coates is charged with seven counts of murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, enticing a child for indecent purposes, false imprisonment, cruelty to children in the first degree, concealing the death of another and tampering with evidence.

Coates previously served a 20-year prison sentence for a child molestation case that occurred in 1990.

Roswell Police Chief James Conroy said in a press conference he hoped the most recent arrest offered a sense of closure to Joshua’s family.

“I only wish Josh’s mother Cherie

could be here today, but what I do know is that she is with Joshua and they are looking down on us and they are happy with these developments,” Conroy said.

Cherie passed away Oct. 15, 2020, at the age of 65. She reported Joshua missing Sunday, May 15, 1988, when he didn’t return home for dinner. In an online memorial, Cherie said Joshua had been playing outside that day and had gone to wait for his friend to finish dinner before he disappeared. Police and volunteers discovered his body two days later.

“Evidence found at the scene indicated the juvenile was a victim of homicide,” the 1988 police report states.

Although the case went cold, few ever forgot Joshua. Bennett, who was often in touch with Cherie, said she thinks she would have been excited that Coates was arrested, but it would have been tempered awaiting a conviction.

“Cherie was a lovely person who had experienced frustration within her life that few can imagine,” Bennett said.

“It would break my heart to give her an update with no progress. But being the resilient woman that she was, she would take it in stride and provided encouragement for the investigation to continue.”

Detective Zack Kowalske said Bennett was “truly the driving investigative force” of the contemporary investigation.

He took over as the lead detective on the case 18 months ago. By that time, he said, the case had exhausted most of its leads other than the DNA evidence.

“However,” Kowalske said, “I have been involved with the case since 2014 when a new team was tasked to the case. … I have always been focused on the forensic side of it. My first memories of the case were utilizing the original crime scene photographs from 1988 to locate the original crime scene within the woods.”

Roswell detectives, in partnership with the GBI, routinely re-examined the evidence to keep pace with evolving leads and advancing technology. Their breakthrough came in February, when, with the permission of Joshua’s family,

CHAMIAN CRUZ/APPEN MEDIA

Zack Kowalske, with the Roswell Police Department, has been the lead detective in the Joshua Harmon case over the past year, a murder that has gone unsolved for more than three decades. his body was exhumed in hopes of identifying further evidence.

In March, the Georgia Sexual Assault Kit Initiative taskforce, a subset of the Georgia Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, provided Roswell Police with funding to pursue additional DNA testing on evidence from the crime scene.

Results from that testing, performed by an independent laboratory, CyberGenetics Inc., linked Coates to the crime.

Kowalske said the lab results gave him a sense of confirmation.

“To have an answer based out of science in this case reaffirmed why I am passionate about utilizing the disciplines of the forensic sciences to bring truth and justice to cases,” Kowalske said.

Kowalske and Bennett began their careers with the Roswell Police Department. Since joining in 2009, Kowalske has spent most of his career within the Crime Scene Investigations Unit. Ben-

nett has been with the department for 18 years.

When the murder occurred, Conroy was in college. Since then, he’s worked a 30-year career, retired as chief of police in DeKalb County and joined the Roswell Police Department. He said 85% of the department had not even been born when Joshua was murdered.

“This shows you that police officers are not going to stop,” Conroy said. “We will continue until justice is done.”

Police spokesman Tim Lupo said the Roswell Police Department has seven additional open cold cases. Six are homicides and one is a missing person’s case.

Joshua’s case remains an active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Roswell Police Department at 770-640-4100, or provide anonymous information through Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS (8477).

Fulton County adopts transportation sales tax ballot issue

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County commissioners voted unanimously Monday to formally adopt a ballot measure this November calling on voters to decide whether to extend the countywide .75-cent transportation sales tax for five years.

The decision followed an agreement with mayors from all 13 cities outside Atlanta.

Atlanta has its own transportation tax.

The .75-cent transportation special purpose local option sales tax, or TSPLOST, was first passed in 2016 by Fulton County voters in those 13 cities and runs through next March. Updated estimates predict the tax could generate up to $546 million in extra funding for municipalities to improve traffic flow, provide and upgrade pedestrian and bicycle pathways and improve safety.

The money will be distributed to cities based on population, putting Sandy Springs, Roswell and Johns Creek atop the list for funding.

District 1 County Commissioner Liz Hausmann called Monday’s action a “historic moment” that will benefit the residents of Fulton County.

“It has taken a lot of collaboration between Fulton County and the cities to bring us here today,” she said.

County officials said they are mounting an information campaign with cities to cite statistics on the sales tax, including data showing what the current tax has accomplished.

The voter education rollout emphasizes what the tax has accomplished over the course of the past five years, they said. The tax has committed $177 million to pedestrian, bike, landscape and streetscape projects, another $152 million for operations and safety projects and $82 million to congestion relief and roadway projects.

Rental relief expanding County commissioners also spent time during the special meeting to update cities on efforts to distribute rental relief aid to residents facing eviction. The action comes with the expiration July 31 of the Federal Eviction Moratorium that went into place with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020.

The relief program began and was built as federal dollars began arriving in the spring. Fulton County has adjudicated and paid 100% of all eligible applications that were received.

“I could not be more proud of the progress we have made as a county and as cities of Fulton on our emergency rental assistance program,” Fulton County Chief Operating Officer Anna Roach said.

To date, Fulton County has expended $9.84 million of its available $16 million in rental relief assistance. It has an additional $1.1 million set for distribution this week.

The dispersals to date represent assistance to 1,852 residents outside the City of Atlanta, Roach said.

The county continues to see growth in distribu-

Estimated TSPLOST II revenues 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. Earlier estimates called for collections of about $525 million.

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

Fulton County would receive .5% — 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. tions, and it plans to maintain increased staffing levels to handle the need, she said.

To broaden the outreach, Roach said the state of Georgia is also working to intensify its efforts to open portals for rental and mortgage assistance so that residents across the state can apply.

Locally, residents can apply through the Fulton County website, fultoncountyga.gov/rentalassistance, or call 855-776-7912 to speak to a live agent.

Representatives are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m.

SCHOOLS

Fulton Schools to continue COVID protocols

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmedia.com ATLANTA, Ga. — The Fulton County School System opens for classes Aug. 9 with most COVID-19 protocols still in place from last year. The one exception is the mandatory mask policy, which was lifted June 1 allowing the option of face coverings.

Schools Superintendent Mike Looney said the decision to open the school year with masks optional – but highly recommended — is based on summer school results with more than 12,000 students attending classes in person.

“Based on our experiences with summer school…with masks being optional…and without having to close a single classroom or single school, we’ve learned to manage the risk and mitigate the risk to the extent possible,” he said at a July 22 meeting of the Fulton County Board of Education.

Masks will be mandated on all school buses, complying with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rules for public transportation.

He acknowledged the Delta variant of COVID-19 is increasing the threat of the virus in the county, but the numbers remain low when compared to where they have been in the past. Regardless, Looney said the district is prepared to change course if conditions change.

“We stand ready to pivot and make adjustments,” Looney said. “And I want our parents and our community to know that we will be the first ones to make adjustments if the data warrants.”

Last week the CDC said people in “high-transmission communities” should wear masks in indoor public spaces, even if they’ve been vaccinated.

Georgia is considered an area of high transmission. In the North Fulton region, all five cities had incident rates below 100 per 100,000 residents for the two weeks ending July 21. Mountain Park reported no positive cases.

Looney said the district is not ignoring

the CDC or other public health guidance, but noted the changes are frequent.

“At times it conflicts with each other,” he said. “We want to make sure that we are reflective and make judicious decisions that don’t change overnight.”

A spokesman for the district said the revised direction from the CDC last week is being reviewed by staff.

“As with all updates from public health, state and federal officials, Fulton County Schools’ COVID-19 Executive Task Force will review the new information, confer with leadership, and then notify our community if changes are warranted,” said Chief Communications Officer Brian Noyes.

The issue was hotly debated on the district’s social media sites, with equal numbers of pros and cons of mandatory masking. A petition to require masks in schools has been created.

According to CDC statistics, fewer than 350 children under 18 have died from COVID-19 nationwide as of midJuly. The rate is similar to the fatality rate for seasonal flu.

Staff protocols to continue The reporting procedures for COVID exposure, positive test results and all other procedures implemented last year will continue into the next year, noted Chief Talent Officer Ron Wade.

“We are asking that all staff and students report for three main reasons… whether they’ve been COVID positive, may have a pending test, or if they’ve been in direct contact with a COVID positive person,” Wade said.

Currently, about 80 percent of teachers surveyed have received the COVID vaccination, he noted. Vaccination will not be a condition of employment.

This year, an employee portal for reporting will be used instead of emailing results. A “COVID response team” will also be used to follow up on COVID issues.

“We’re just going to ask all the stakeholders to make sure they cooperate and

be truthful and answering employees about their vaccination status,” Wade added.

One significant change from last year is the compensation for employees who have to quarantine. Last year, the district continued to pay employees even if they had used all their leave time. That will not apply this year.

Chief Academic Officer Cliff Jones noted students who are required to quarantine will be offered virtual tutoring options to remain on track with academics. The district is also looking at extended day options for students to enhance instruction outside the classroom.

Last year, studies showed the loss or pause in learning was several months because of the pandemic disruption.

That situation is expected to continue into this year.

With the rise in COVID cases occurring at the start of the school year, the district is also expanding the number of seats available in the Fulton Virtual Academy for last minute changes.

Parents had to commit last year to an instruction mode for this year to avoid constant disruption to schools with students in and out of classrooms.

Decisions on closing schools Looney said the closing procedure for responding to COVID cases or outbreaks in schools will remain the same as last year. Decisions will be made at the classroom, school or district level depending on the impact.

That decision was welcome news to North Fulton school board member Katie Reeves.

“I appreciate that we will be reacting to the local school community not Fulton County as a whole,” Reeves said.

“Because we found out in the past that that didn’t necessarily work very well.”

In March 2019 when COVID-19 became an issue, the entire district was shuttered after one positive case in South Fulton.

Looney said the closing procedure developed last year worked well with different levels of closure depending on the outbreak.

“Our default position is to have school in a face-to-face environment, if at all possible and safe,” he said, “And it might mean we have to quarantine a classroom…a grade level…and last resort pivot to remote learning for the entire district.”

The closing procedure can be found on the district’s website, fultonschools.org.

It’s the best of the best that we’re talking with because they recognize the demographics of this area.

PAUL CORLEY, regional president for Empire Communities 12 | Milton Herald | August 5, 2021

Developers pitch major mixed-use community in South Forsyth

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A team of developers has won initial approval to proceed drafting plans for a mixed-use community in southern Forsyth County they say would be on the scale of Halcyon and Avalon.

Representatives from Toll Brothers, one of the nation’s leading developers of luxury homes, and Atlanta-based Empire Communities, are pitching an overlay plan on just over 400 acres north of McGinnis Ferry Road, between Peachtree Parkway and Old Atlanta Road.

Eric White, Atlanta Division president for Toll Brothers, told members of the Forsyth County Commission July 27 that part of the company’s focus is on new architecture, and it has more plans active now than are posted on its website.

Toll Brothers is a publicly traded company with about $1.5 billion in hand. It bills itself as “America’s Luxury Homebuilder.”

The company has a 5,000 squarefoot studio currently under construction slated for opening the beginning of next year. He said Toll Brothers homes include quality construction, including Hardie plank materials on the exterior with quality interior finishes.

White said the company has active projects in all five districts of Forsyth County, and he would like to partner with the county to bring the development online.

Paul Corley, regional president for Empire Communities, said he has been building in the greater Atlanta market for nearly 30 years, including footprints in Avalon and Halcyon.

“You know you hear the terms ‘live,

work,’ play,’ everybody says it – we mean it,” Corley said.

He added that a partnership with Lamar Wakefield of Wakefield Beasley and Associates design firm, the development will reflect the community now and how it will live in 20 years.

Corley said the team expects to have selected another partner for the mixeduse property by the end of August.

“It’s the best of the best that we’re talking with because they recognize the demographics of this area,” he said.

“They recognize the schools. They recognize the (Ga.) 400 access and the good stuff that’s happening here in Forsyth.”

Corley said initial plans call for 15 pocket parks, two substantial amenity complexes, a large village center and 3.8 miles of trails that could tie in to surrounding communities. Residential will include townhomes in the $400,000s and estate homes worth more than $1 million.

Wakefield provided his vision for the mixed-use community as “a chance here to do something really special for the county.”

He said he is using the same fundamentals used in creating Avalon when project leaders visited more than 60 of the best rated mixed-used developments in the country to help draw up the design.

While plans are not complete for the South Forsyth project, Wakefield provided some general details, based on his conversations with county and community leaders.

He said the development would be bisected by a $20 million parkway connecting Peachtree Parkway and Old Atlanta Road. It will have more than 100 acres of greenspace and an amphitheater. The main plaza will be 1.6 acres, twice the size of Halcyon’s.

PATRICK FOX/APPEN MEDIA

Standing from left, Eric White, Atlanta Division president for Toll Brothers, and Paul Corley, regional president for Empire Communities, present plans for a mixed-use development in South Forsyth County at the July 27 County Commission work session.

Wakefield said talks have already begun with a large grocer, one suitable for the development.

One of the more innovative parts of the plan includes anchoring one corner of the development with a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts and math) school. Wakefield said negotiations are currently underway with the school district for approval.

“I can tell you, with this student population that we have in Forsyth County, it will be the best STEAM school in the state of Georgia,” Wakefield said. “We think it will be 1,400-1,500 students.”

County commissioners were intrigued by the proposal, but they said they could not commit to beginning a regional impact review for the project until the developers present more details of a draft plan. The county said it is look-

ing for traffic studies and a more exact number on the amount of commercial and residential square footage within the development.

A DRI review, which is assembled by the Atlanta Regional Commission, is intended to coordinate between government entities and other agencies on assessing the impacts and conflicts major projects may have on an area.

Commissioners agreed county staff should work with the development team to help refine the concept plan and bring back something they can evaluate.

County Commissioner Alfred John said he thinks there are still a couple of meetings required before the county would commit to a review.

“A lot of work has been done so far, and there’s still a lot of work left to be done,” John said.

How the team approach may benefit buyers and sellers Brought to you by Cynthia Lippert, Managing Broker Ansley Real Estate & President, Atlanta Realtors Association Real estate can be a complex business. Although the key objectives LIPPERT are fairly straightforward and centered around client service, top agents are thinking more creatively to deliver the best-in-class service Ansley Real Estate is known for.

One of the many ways these superstars are setting themselves apart is by joining forces to serve a variety of clients and scenarios. The team model can offer certain advantages for some consumers, depending on their specific needs.

Layered Support As work-life balance took center stage in 2020, more and more agents, who traditionally work as independent contractors, teamed up to share workloads and focus more on strengths and passion points.

Real estate transactions are time sensitive, and fast-moving negotiations and complex timelines seldom wait for regular business hours or personal responsibilities. Teams can help keep deals on track while allowing agents to balance larger client lists and personal time.

Diverse Skill Sets The real estate business attracts a variety of self-motivated entrepreneurial people with diverse backgrounds and skill sets. Some agents get into

real estate as a second career, following work as lawyers, teachers, or sales professionals from other industries. The best agents continually build on their experience, and teams can pool together complementary skill sets and backgrounds that ultimately benefit their clients too. That variety is important for creative thinking, a must in challenging real estate markets like the one we’re currently experiencing.

Selling a home in 2021 Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS, Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty The COVID pandemic has had a significant RAWLINGS influence on various areas of the economy, and the real estate industry is no exception.

If you’re selling your home right now, you should know that today’s housing market is unlike anything we have seen.

In the past, sellers might have waited months to get an offer that might not be as high as they hoped. Today, homes are getting snatched up fast, sometimes within days of going on the market. Bidding wars may force buyers to pay over the asking price, sometimes in cash, and

waiving inspections to sweeten their offer. That’s why it is more important than ever to understand the market.

1. Home Inventory is Low More people want to purchase properties than there are homes on the market. Today, if you’re looking for a home, you’re likely to see only about half as many homes for sale as were available last year. This is creating a highly competitive market for buyers. These low-inventory conditions may improve over the next year, but the market is so out of balance, the number of homes for sale will remain low.

2. Home Prices are High With fewer homes and high demand for them, many sellers are seeing multiple offers driving up prices. The increase in housing prices makes it a great time for sellers to cash out on

Scale Real estate thrives on relationships, and the best agents put a lot of focus on networking to increase their market knowledge and build mutually beneficial relationships. Agents can multiply their networks by sharing those connections, either within a team or through expert networking, gathering a greater supply of resources for their clients.

Real estate agents are known multi-

taskers, relationship gurus, and problem solvers, and while some buyers and sellers enjoy the simplicity of a one-to-one agent relationship, others prefer a more systematic and layered approach to their real estate dealings. Either way, the top performing agents at Ansley Real Estate are known for their ability to exceed their clients’ goals continuously, providing the most well-rounded and comprehensive service in the business.

their homes. And with fewer homes available for sale, buyers are pulling out all the stops. However, this comes with a big problem if selling means buying a new home for yourself. Sellers searching for their next home will face the same fierce competition.

low rates have created a booming housing market.

It is referred to as a seller’s market.

Merriam-Webster defines that as a market in which goods are scarce, buyers have a limited range of choice and prices are high. If you are looking for a new home, make sure it’s the right time, and not because of market conditions. While home sellers have the upper hand, you’ll still need to consider how the market will affect you if you’re buying a replacement home.

3. Interest Rates are at Record Lows Even though home prices are high, mortgage interest rates have hit record lows. And since even a 1% lower interest rate could lower monthly mortgage payments by up to 20%, it makes homes more affordable for buyers, driving them into this competitive market. Why are they so low? The Federal Reserve lowers interest rates to stimulate growth during a period of economic decline and uncertainty.

Interest rates are likely to stay low as the economy fights its way back from the pandemic.

4. It’s a Seller’s Market Limited housing inventory and record-

Understanding the market and playing your cards carefully will help you get the best offer for when you decide to sell.

Avoiding DIY catastrophes Brought to you by Remodeling Expo Center DIY shows are among the most popular programs on TV. They are instructional, materials are plentiful at big box home improvement centers, and they always come out just perfect at the conclusion of the ½ hour episode. So how could a DIY project possibly go wrong?

The ugly truth about home improvement shows is that the hosts are actors, the work is actually performed by contractors (who are rarely filmed), all the products are provided free of charge in exchange for advertising (so the true project cost is grossly understated). The total time period is rarely mentioned accurately and none of the jobs are ever permitted. So, what we love to watch is a “Hollywood” like creation for the sole purpose of entertainment, not practicality or accuracy, but we knew that already. Didn’t we?

“It’s not uncommon for a bathroom or kitchen to be completely demolished when we first arrive to someone’s home and learn it’s been that way for 6 months” says John Hogan, owner of Remodeling Expo Center. “TV shows are actually motivational and serve a great

purpose but occasionally they lead to DIY Bravado. It is the home improvement version of irrational exuberance; when homeowner embark on projects that exceed their skill level. It happens more frequently than I care to talk about” DIY projects are fun and extremely satisfying when they have short time frames, are on the home’s exterior, and/ or do not impede the homes normal operation, painting or landscaping are great examples. DIY catastrophes almost always involve bathroom and kitchens (because of the required careful planning of electric, plumbing, carpentry, tile, appliances, etc.) as well as basements (because of the afore mentioned), plus water intrusion and humidity issues.

The lack of planning or poor execution is catastrophic because errors are very costly to fix. “My advice to homeowners is keep it simple, know your capabilities and seek professional assistance, especially in the planning phase”, John Hogan continues.

To learn more about making your remodel project fun, contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969, via our website, www.RemodelingExpo.com or come into our Design Center at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075.

We absolutely adore and appreciate Peter and Riccardo, not just for their exceptional designer skills but also for the warmth and commitment, they have shown to Steve and me over the years.

In fact, I am bringing a new friend from Greenville to shop all things living room with them, in the next two weeks. Cannot say enough about them as well as their high quality, price competitive and Tuscany’s Showroom is always on trend!!!

Driving from Greenville is a no brainer…no other store compares to the Tuscany experience.

Brenda and Steve Weyl Greenville, SC Bravo Peter and Riccardo!... your professionalism always shines through your customers, like Brenda and Steve Weyl and thank you Brenda and Steve for your loyal patronage all these years.

Why you should sell in the fall Brought to you by – Allison Kloster, Associate Broker, Home Real Estate If you are considering entering the housing market in the fall, don’t worry about it being too late to make a sale. In fact, here are four reasons why listing in autumn might turn out to be a savvy selling strategy.

A different buyer pool There are three types of buyers who

tend to prefer less saturated markets: millennials, empty nesters and employers who need to relocate new hires. These buyers typically swoop in late to avoid high season real estate rates — you might even get a quick sale from employers needing to settle their hires fast.

Buyers are more serious Spring buyers can afford to be picky because of the sheer number of houses

for sale. It might be months before they decide to make an offer. But by the time September rolls around, you’re left with only serious buyers who know they don’t have much time before winter hits.

There’s less competition Selling in the fall means competing in a much smaller market. Combined with the impending arrival of harsh weather and the holiday season, this is a strong bargaining chip that can help you close

quickly.

It’s easier to make improvements Selling in the fall means you can take advantage of the warm wea- ther preceding the season to make improvements.

When you’re rea- dy to sell, your house will be too.

Though conventional wisdom recommends selling in the spring or summer, selling in the fall has a number of advantages and may prove to be the more lucrative time to list your home.

OPINION

History, mystery, and a heart of stone The other day, I got the itch to hike somewhere new.

Like a lot of folks, I’m often a creature of habit and stick to the trails I know. But sometimes I get the urge to broaden my horizons. So, I pulled STEVE HUDSON out the maps and the Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net trail guides and even took a look at the Interweb thing to see what the new-trail possibilities might be.

And there were a lot of them. Even with decades of walking hither and thither in the north Georgia woods, there are still many, many trails I’ve never set foot on. Sometimes that’s because they’re too far away. Other times they’re too steep and rugged. Can you believe that?

Hiking that’s too tough for me and my boots? Well, please do believe it. Age is relentless, and knees don’t lie.

I kept narrowing the list, and then, there it was. I had decided. I’d go hiking up north a little ways in Fort Mountain State Park near Ellijay.

“Have you been there before?” Wife of Mine asked as I loaded up the day pack.

“I have,” I replied, “I’ve been fishing in the lake. But never hiking.”

“Why not?”

“I don’t really know,” I said. “But that’s about to change!”

A couple of hours later I was making the turn off Georgia 52 and into the park. Adventure was about to begin!

Fort Mountain State Park gets its name from an ancient stone wall – a “fort,” if you will – that’s puzzled archaeologists for centuries. The wall, built of stacked stones, is 855 feet long and zigzags across the landscape between two precipices, running generally eastwest. It varies in height from 2 to 6 feet, though archaeologists think it was higher in years gone by.

No one is really sure when it was constructed – or why. Nor does anyone know the purpose of the roughly 30 “pits” in the wall. Were they gun emplacements?

Were they ceremonial features? Did the wall (as suggested on one of the historic markers at the site) maybe even serve as a sort of “honeymoon haven” for newlywed Cherokee couples?

Like the stones making up the wall, the mysteries stack up at Fort Mountain.

There are lots of theories, of course.

The most plausible seems to be that it

STEVE HUDSON/SPECIAL

The overlook platform at Fort Mountain State Park puts you at eye level with soaring hawks and gives you a commanding view of the valley and mountains beyond. was built by Native Americans around 500 A.D. for religious or ceremonial purposes. Others think Welsh explorers or even Spanish conquistadores constructed it as a defensive fortification.

There’s also the theory (based on Cherokee legend) that it was built by the “Moon Eyes,” said to be a light-skinned

people with large, pale eyes who had the ability to see in the dark.

Alas, there’s really no archaeological evidence to support any one theory over the others. It is likely that this particular stone puzzle will remain unsolved. But

OPINION

Continued from Page 26 that’s okay. We all need a little mystery in our lives.

Less puzzling is another stone artifact at Fort Mountain, this one much more recent and tied not to Native Americans or mysterious ancients but to the muchmore-recent Civilian Conservation Corps.

In the early 1930s, the United States was still reeling from the Great Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the new president, and in 1933 he launched a program to put people to work – the Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, which he announced in his Fireside Chat on May 7, 1933.

The CCC, Roosevelt said, would provide employment to “one quarter of a million of the unemployed, especially young men.” He added that this workforce would, among other things, work at “clearly enhancing the value of our natural resources….”

One of the areas where CCC crews worked was what we now know as Fort Mountain State Park. Among their projects was the four-story fire tower that still stands in the park today. And that brings us to another story, the story of the heart of stone.

In 1934, a CCC crew was given the assignment to build that fire tower.

Twenty-year-old Arnold Bailey found himself leading the crew. But as he and his team labored at building the tower, Bailey thought often about the love of his life, his future wife Margaret Reece.

Eventually, overcome by his love for

The scenic overlook at Fort Mountain State Park is one of the most dramatic you’ll find, putting you at eye level with soaring hawks while giving you an expansive view over the valley and mountains beyond.

The stone fire tower at Fort Mountain State Park, built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, boasts a hidden stone heart, placed in one of the tower’s walls by the construction crew chief as a tribute to his beloved. Look for it above one of the tower’s windows!

park offers hiking opportunities ranging from short and easy (including the Cool Springs Overlook Trail, which is 100 percent accessible by 2002 standards) to long and challenging (for example, the 8.2-mile Gahuti Trail, a backcountry loop that even offers four backcountry hiking sites by reservation).

My hike included the Stone Wall Trail, the CCC Stone Tower Trail, the North Stone Tower Trail (challenging in places with some incredible vistas), and the

West Overlook Trail (which leads to an overlook you’ll never forget). Pick up a detailed trail map from the park office, take a look at the routes and trail profiles, and decide which hike is best for you.

Legends, history, romance and more, including camping and cottages and mountain biking and a lake and lots more – you’ll find it all at Fort Mountain State Park.

I love places like this. I think you will too.

Margaret, he selected one of the stones, crafted it into the shape of a heart, and then incorporated that heart into the construction of the tower.

Yes, the heart-shaped stone is still there, and you can see it if you know where to look. Here’s a hint: It’s located above a window...

Uh-oh. I see I’ve gotten so wrapped up in history that I’ve forgotten to talk about the hike! Since I’m about out of space, I’ll give you the short version: The

investigation is being conducted in this matter as is performed for any instance of a use of force incident by one of our officers.”

Gerald Griggs, who is also representing Moya in the case, said they want justice to be served.

“We are here again for a situation that we should not have to witness in 2021,” Griggs said. “This is not Alabama in the ’50s. It’s not Mississippi in the ’60s. It’s not South Carolina in the ’70s. This is Alpharetta, Georgia, so when I received a call and I saw the video my heart dropped again.”

Moya’s wife and 5-year-old daughter witnessed the incident Sunday. His wife captured on cell phone video the moment the K-9 moved on Moya as he lay on the ground with three officers on top of him.

According to his attorneys, Moya sustained a concussion and “severe” dog bite wounds throughout his upper body.

He was transported to the hospital for treatment.

Moya was released from jail on a signature bond but made no statements during the press conference. Stewart said he

wants people to understand the incident was not a regular dog attack.

“The dog walked away with flesh hanging from its mouth,” Stewart said. “…

These dogs (K9s) have, from our research, 195 pounds per square inch of pressure when they attack. They are trained to maul and attack. There was no reason for this dog to be out of the vehicle. … His wife explained to us they weren’t screaming, they weren’t arguing, they weren’t fussing with the officer. The officer simply suddenly decided, ‘back up, I’m going to get the dog.’”
