Teen reports confrontation involving threats, racial slurs MILTON, Ga. — A Milton teenager reported that three male teenagers blocked his path in a local business area and called him racial slurs on Aug. 25. The victim was walking around the businesses in downtown Crabapple when he approached three white, male teenagers talking. One of the teens said he did not see the black victim because “it was too dark” outside and asked him if he was alone. The victim said he believed the suspects were intentionally blocking his path. He asked them if they were going to move because he had somewhere to be. The same suspect who stated he had not seen the victim said that he “better not talk to them like that” and began calling him racial slurs and threatened to “beat him up” if he was ever seen in the area again. The three suspects then formed a semi-circle around the victim “with their arms in a challenging gesture.” For several minutes after the victim walked away, the other teens shouted racial slurs in his direction. When asked what type of slurs were said, the victim said they were calling him black and did not feel comfortable sharing any other terms used. The teen’s father requested charges be brought against the suspects if they were identified. The victim did not recognize any of the suspects but said he would be able to identify them if he saw them again.
Authorities capture suspect wanted in alleged fraud case MILTON, Ga. — A Snellville man was
The suspect used the stolen credit and debit cards Aug. 4 and 5 to purchase multiple gift cards at different businesses. According to witnesses, the woman was seen driving a white four-door vehicle. According to photos released by
police, the woman was wearing a blackand-white patterned dress and has medium-length brown hair. Anyone who can identify the suspect or has any information about the case is urged to contact Detective Myrand at 770-640-4452.
arrested on Aug. 26 at the Windward Parkway Walmart after fleeing officers and store loss-prevention employees. Milton police received a call from an employee who stated he saw the suspect take an item off a shelf, pull a receipt out of his pocket and then received a cash refund for the item he took from the shelf. The loss prevention officer called police after he was unable to stop the man before he left the store. An officer located a man matching the description at a nearby KFC restaurant. When the suspect saw the police car, he ran to a wooded area. The officer drove to the wooded area and saw the man run back toward the Walmart parking lot. The suspect then stopped running and police handcuffed him without incident. The man was arrested for theft by deception.
The women then ran out of the store, dropping merchandise and they fled toward the nearby Bank of America where they drove off in a black Chevrolet. One suspect was wearing a green wig with a pink hat and pink tights. The driver was wearing a white shirt and had yellow hair. They were all described as between 24-30 years old.
Man says ‘lady friend’ refuses to return his car ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A man called police Aug. 24 after a “lady friend” he loaned his car to refused to return it. He loaned the car, a white 2007 Chrysler Pacifica, to the woman on Aug. 21. The man told police that he had called the woman “approximately 200 times” since then to get it back. When he was able to contact her through text, she requested money in return for the vehicle. The police report did not state how much money the woman asked for. Police logged the car as stolen.
$600 of merchandise stolen from sports store ALPHARETTA, Ga. — On Aug. 22, police met with the manager of Dick’s Sporting Goods on North Point Parkway after four women allegedly stole several items that evening. The four women had entered the store at 6:30 p.m. and began walking through the men’s section. The manager said they were spotted taking several items from that area from the Nike and Under Armor racks.
Thieves take car, plate from apartment lot ALPHARETTA, Ga. — One car and a separate temporary car tag from a car parked on the same lot were reported as stolen Aug. 21, after they were parked overnight at an apartment. Police first met with a man at Carriage Trace, who said that sometime during the night, someone had stolen his 2002 Nissan Maxima. He said his car was parked in front of his apartment with the keys inside the car. A similar incident occurred down the road at Kings Point Lane. A woman said someone had taken the temporary tag from her black 2016 Toyota Camry after she had parked it in front of her apartment at 2 a.m. that night.
Wallets stolen from car in overnight burglary ROSWELL, Ga. — A man reported Aug. 21 that someone had broken into his car and stole both his and his wife’s wallets. The man had parked his silver Chrysler Pacifica at Roswell Creek Lane at 9:30 p.m. the night before. When his wife came out of the house the next morning, she saw that the car had been rummaged through, with debris and papers tossed around everywhere. The couple did a more thorough search, the noted that their wallets were both missing. There were no signs of forced entry. The man told police that when they parked the car, the couple had rushed inside with their children, because it was raining. He said it was possible they forgot to lock the doors during that rush.

City gives update on former Milton Country Club greenspace By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — The city released an update last week regarding the 140 acres of greenspace it purchased in January that was once home to the Milton Country Club. The park remains closed with the exception of the swim and tennis facilities as the city continues to survey the site for a long-term master plan. Milton has been working with consultants from Kimley-Horn to plan for the trail and park planning process, the release said. The consultants are conducting environmental assessments, inventory of the site’s facilities and initial work for upcoming land and engineering studies. “While we’d initially planned to get the community planning portion underway over the summer, it was decided
that we would wait until after summer vacations concluded and families were adequately settled into the new school year,” the statement said. “Community planning meetings should begin sometime (this) month, including an adjacent neighbor stakeholder meeting.” An ongoing portion of the planning process includes abandoning the former golf course’s cart paths easements. Dozens of homes line the former golf course, each with either 50- or 75-footwide easements. These areas of land sit on the homeowners’ property, but golfers were permitted to proceed upon them during play. The city abandoned 25 of these portions of land in June, but concerns were raised regarding the easements along cart paths, many of which are close to residences. “It was and remains the intent of the
city to abandon the golf cart path easements,” the city’s statement said. “However, it’s been determined that these golf cart easements will need to mostly wait until we are complete with the planning process for the property.” The issue stems from the city’s responsibility for the easements. If the city abandons them, they will technically be trespassing to remove the actual paths, City Manager Steve Krokoff told the Herald earlier this year. “We will need to determine with guidance and approval from [the City] Council what we will do with the paved sections that currently exist on private property,” the city said. “If the decision is made to remove these sections on private property, then those easements may have to remain in place to complete the work.” During the initial stages of Mil-
ton’s purchase, the future of the former club’s tennis and swim programs were in limbo. However, the city eventually chose to continue those programs and the tennis program is now registering for its fall season. The pool was open to the public this summer but closed for the season on Sept. 4. The city’s statement said the Milton Fire-Rescue Department will use the pool for special training this month. The city also said that there were “structure concerns” on a bridge along the cart path and barricades have been installed. Bi-monthly mowing of public or visible portions of the property will continue, but the city said remote sections will be allowed to “initially reforest” with the exception of cart paths. Eleven trees deemed as a potential public safety hazard have been removed.
Beach talks business, transit to South Forsyth Middle students By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Though they’re years from a diploma, students at South Forsyth Middle School packed a room recently to learn about their future in business. Speaking to the Future Business Leaders of America Club Aug. 30, state Sen. Brandon Beach told students rapid growth will translate to business growth if we solve our transportation problems. Beach represents District 21 in the Georgia Senate, an area covering portions of Cherokee and Fulton counties. He is also chairman of the Transportation Committee, so he spent most of his time talking about the future of transit in Georgia. “We’ve grown so fast, but we haven’t built as many roads as are needed, but
that’s being worked on,” he said. “You’ll see a lot of orange barrels out because we have addressed transportation with a bill about two years ago that helped us become less dependent of our federal program and build our own roads ourselves.”At the heart of improving transportation is being able to improve business, Beach said. “I’m a very pro-business legislator,” he said. “I want to make sure we create that climate where we can grow jobs and you can have opportunities. I can tell you, thanks to your teachers here you’ll be prepared to either go to college or a technical college or a business. You can do what you want to do.” He told students they need to find what they are passionate about, then pursue it. He realized his own passion for public service while in college after

witnessing corrupt politicians in his home state of Louisiana. Lawmakers there took lottery money that was meant to be reinvested into education, but instead put it toward projects they wanted to do, he said. When Beach returned home his junior year of college, a major business left New Orleans and took 5,000 jobs with it. “When I graduated, I didn’t have an opportunity to stay in New Orleans,” he said. “I didn’t want my daughter or son to have to leave here and go find a job elsewhere. If they wanted to move, I would support them 100 percent. But if they came to me and said, ‘dad, I want to live in Forsyth County and North Fulton, but I don’t have any job opportunities.’ Then shame on me.” At the state level, lawmakers work hard to make sure students have plenty of chances post-graduation, he said. “The things I worry most about that keep me up at night are infrastructure such as transportation and transit, an educated workforce and 21st century infrastructure making sure we have the right fiber optics in the ground,” Beach said. “We have to make sure we have the right technology and infrastructure in place so we can grow jobs in the technology sector.” For the past eight years, Beach has been working on a bill that passed this spring that created regional transit governance and a funding structure called The Atlanta-region Transit Link Authority, or The ATL. Communities may raise local sales taxes by up to 1 percent for up to 30 years to pay for construction and operations by voter approval. Additionally, the adopted state budget includes $100

The authority is charged with developing a regional transit plan for a 13-county area, including Forsyth and Fulton, and then coordinating existing and future transit service in that region. Currently, there is a fragmented system for transit from MARTA, the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority to counties that operate their own transit systems. “We’re getting big enough to where we’re going to have to have public transportation, and having a good system that works in a seamless, efficient manner,” Beach said. “Even though we live in Forsyth County, ATL is our brand. This will help us from a business standpoint when competing with companies. Every time companies want to come here, they talk about transit.”

School enrollment continues to shrink across North Fulton Impact most seen in elementary school numbers
By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — Enrollment in North Fulton elementary schools continues to decline, following a trend that began several years ago and shows no sign of slowing. For the first time in recent memory, enrollment in grades K-6 showed a decline in overall enrollment from the previous year in the area’s 30 elementary schools. The numbers were based on 10-day enrollment figures released by the Fulton School System. While the 20-day (four week) enrollment is the official enrollment submitted to the state for funding, the 10-day count indicates actual enrollment was short of projections by 151 students. Enrollment in North Fulton middle schools also experienced numbers below projections, while high school populations met expectations. A spokesperson for Fulton Schools cautioned the system normally sees a surge in students up till the Labor Day holiday, and expects it to grow over the first four weeks.
Systemwide, Fulton Schools will need to enroll nearly 1,150 additional students to meet the targeted projection of 95,215 students for the 2018-19 school year. The 10-day enrollment stood at 94,071, which is 2,600 students fewer than ended the 2017-18 school year. In North Fulton, the Labor Day surge is not as significant as in other parts of the county, based on trends from previous years. For that reason, adjustments to staffing and classes have already been completed, according to school officials. Enrollment declines in the elementary population in North Fulton can be attributed to varying factors, with declining birth rates and high housing prices cited by system planners as key factors. Although the area is in the midst of a housing boom, the average cost for a home in North Fulton remains above $400,000. That trend is sending many people to other areas, including South Forsyth, where they can get more home for less money. “In the past, buyers were willing to pay to be in North Fulton because of the schools, but South Forsyth schools have
In the past buyers were willing to pay to be in North Fulton because of the schools, but South Forsyth schools have caught up and are excellent. I love what’s going on in Alpharetta and Milton but it is becoming very expensive to live in this area … especially for single income and/or growing families.” Donna Augello Realtor with Harry Norman
caught up and are excellent,” said Donna Augello, a realtor with Harry Norman. “I love what’s going on in Alpharetta and Milton but it is becoming very expensive to live in this area … especially for single-income and/or growing families.” Ironically it was the same scenario of available housing and good schools that fueled a two-decade boom in North Fulton beginning in the mid-1990s. Young families flocked to North Fulton in droves, and 26 new schools were built in that time frame to house the students.
School board member Katie Reeves, who represents much of North Fulton, noted Fulton School planning staff has done an excellent job on enrollment projections and predicting trends. She said these figures provide the blueprint for future facility needs and new construction. “Before anyone gets too concerned about low growth in North Fulton, this area is still growing,” Reeves said. “As students graduate, neighborhoods often turn over with families with younger children moving in.”

…but sometimes you don’t Last week, we talked about the exalted art of “bluelining,” that backcountry extravaganza of an activity in which otherwise sane (mostly) trout fishermen go far from the beaten path in STEVE HUDSON search of remote Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net streams and wild trout. It’s an activity that involves hiking and navigating and avoiding yellow jackets and snakes and bears, often with a measure of poison ivy and some world-class thorny vines thrown into the mix too. It’s fun! Sometimes, when bluelining, you find what you set out to find -- exquisitely colored rainbow trout or even vivid wild native brook trout. They’re small, just the right size to fit the creeks where they live. A five-inch-long fish can be the trophy of the day. But size doesn’t matter when you’re bluelining. What matters is the treasure at the end of the journey. If you plan well, and are diligent, sometimes you find it. But sometimes you don’t. In the interest of full journalistic disclosure, I want to take a moment and tell you about last weekend’s epic bluelining adventure. Accompanied by my friend Scott, I set out to check out a creek I’d had my eyes on for years. On the topo maps, it had everything going for it – high elevation (upwards of 2,400 feet), a nice gradient (that’s a measure of how steep the creek is, with high gradients meaning cascades or even waterfalls and lower gradients meaning a delightfully level course). It was
remote, too, requiring a hike (totally, and I do mean totally, uphill) of more than two miles to reach it…and that followed by a half-mile trek through the woods through some unbelievably steep mountain terrain. That, I figured, had surely been plenty to keep other anglers from bothering what I was sure was going to the angling discovery of a lifetime! So off we went. As expected, the road-turned-trail climbed and climbed and climbed and climbed some more. I’d been wondering how to get my heart rate up when exercising, and the answer turned out to be no more complex than to climb steadily up the flank of a mountain for what the GPS said was exactly 2.09 miles. Then the road/trail ended, and it was into the woods. No trails there, not even game trails. Using the GPS and topo maps, we charted a course (downhill, now, toward the stream that stayed steep, rough, and sometimes rocky. Somewhere along the way it dawned on me that we would eventually have to climb out, but with prospect of undiscovered fishing on the near horizon, who thinks about things like that? After a while, as is often the case in the high mountain valleys where such streams flow, the terrain leveled out. Suddenly we were in a fern-lined glen about 100 feet wide, and – yes! – there, in the middle of it, flowed a stream. It looked good. It was about five feet wide, with areas of sparkly little riffles and patches of shiny water that suggested pools. “Pools mean trout,” I said out loud, to no one in particular. “This could be good.” Scott made the first casts, but he
got no response. “Maybe the next one!” he said, fisherman’s optimism ringing in every word. But the next one was also devoid of trout. As was the next one, and the one after that, and (in sad fact) every single pool over about three-quarters of a mile of stream. That’s right. We found not a single trout, and we tried. If you let it, that kind of thing can be discouraging. And it might have been, too, but for the beautiful fern glen and the lush overhead tree canopy. The stream, fish or no fish, was beautiful. Now and then, in the sand or mud, we saw tracks (including bear tracks). We heard birds. We turned over rocks and looked at bugs. We discovered what appeared to be traces of an old and long-abandoned gold mine. At one point, we stopped and listened and heard – nothing. We found total and complete silence. Living in the city, you forget how exquisitely perfect that is. Finally, back up the mountainside at last and once more on the road/ trail, we started the 2.09 (because GPS doesn’t lie) mile hike back to the truck, now all blessedly downhill. On the way, cool breezes knocked the edge off the midday temperatures as the now-afternoon sun warmed the air. It took all day, and yeah, we found no trout. But we found a lot of other stuff. Sometimes, you don’t find what you’re looking for. But sometimes, in not finding one thing, you find something you weren’t really looking for at all.
Sometimes you go to these events and see a lot of the same people, which is wonderful. But, all of the exhibitors this year commented on all the new faces and new opportunities they had to meet people. Lara Dolan, co-chair for the Business Expo 12 | Milton Herald | September 6, 2018
Alpharetta business expo draws array of exhibitors, interests By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A crowd of hundreds filtered past an array of displays Aug. 24 at the sixth annual Alpharetta Business Association Expo held at the Atlanta Marriott Alpharetta Hotel. This year’s event included a healthcare panel discussion presented by HIPnation entitled “A Doctor’s View to Control Healthcare Costs.” The panel included: Dr. Robert Herrera, a practicing physician with HIPnation, Bill Neglia, a licensed independent health insurance broker, Kimberly Richards, a physical therapist with A Step Ahead Physical Therapy, and William York, a pharmacist with Concord Pharmacy. The discussion centered on the reasons why the current state of healthcare insurance isn’t working and how it can be improved. Panelists’ solutions included: reestablishing the doctor-patient relationship by “lifting the curtain” that now exists as a result of insurance company requirements, considering cash payments for direct primary care that could be far less than insurance costs and researching alternatives for healthcare. Dr. Herrera noted that preventive medical care is now losing ground as patients are forced to skip it due to high deductible insurance plans. “Episodic care is not the best way to manage your health,” he said. Lara Dolan, co-chair for the Business Expo, said the panel discussion proved a success, drawing close to two dozen people. “I was personally glad I attended,” she said. “It was interesting to get the perspective on healthcare from a doctor

The event preceded the official opening of the Alpharetta Business Association Expo Aug. 24 at the Atlanta Marriott Alpharetta Hotel. and how they are restricted from making decisions they want to make in patient care because of some of the restrictions insurance places on them.” The expo itself, she said, easily attracted more than 750 visitors. The sold-out expo featured 75 exhibitors, including sponsors like the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau, The Mauldin Group, Appen Media Group, Comcast and Village Realty. Some of the new participants included eye care clinic B.spectacled, the Minime Factory which creates personal 3-D images, and restaurants like Peach & the Porkchop and Charlton’s Grill and Tap.
“It was really successful,” Dolan said. “I made a point of walking around and visiting pretty much every exhibitor and talking to them. All of them made comments that there was a very steady flow of traffic.” Many of the returning exhibitors commented there were a lot of new faces this year, she said. “Sometimes you go to these events and see a lot of the same people, which is wonderful,” Dolan said. “But, all of the exhibitors this year commented on all the new faces and new opportunities they had to meet people.” As in past years, the expo began at 9 a.m. with the fourth annual Tech
Alpharetta Technology Showcase which featured five startups pitching their companies to a three-member panel of business experts. As in past years, each startup had several minutes to present their technology to the panel for critique. This year’s featured startups included: • Wyman Best’s “Clear That Deck” tool described as the best low-tech tool from a high-tech incubator. The tool provides a better way to get debris out of deck spaces to improve cleaning and have less deck rot. • Go WP which provides WordPress support including software updates, offsite backup, security/malware scans and trouble-shooting services for agencies, small businesses and non-profits. • Data Seekers which offers a unique data appliance that helps financial institutions take in data and unify it into one format. • MSI Positioning Systems which has created an application that makes GPS more precise down to 1- centimeter accuracy (less than the size of a dime) that land surveyors and civil engineers can use on their mobile device. • Sign Stream which helps companies create their own TV channel and run it anywhere with a Smart TV or Amazon Firestick that can run in their store, restaurant or waiting area. Following the showcase, Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin joined other dignitaries in officially opening the expo. Dolan said the Alpharetta Business Association plans to have the event again next year, although no date and location has been set.

Maybe we have to slow down to catch up with baseball Increasing I know, I know. Football season just kicked off and I’m writing an article on baseball. But a lot of people don’t pay attention to sports as much except when it’s football season. So I’m using footGeoff smith ball’s magnetism Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com to advocate for the purity of baseball! In my opinion, baseball is unnecessarily getting hammered by folks who want it to be more like football. No doubt baseball viewership has gone down. The average number of people watching a World Series game in the 1980s was over 30 million. Since 2005, only three have pulled in over 18 million. And that number is made worse considering there are a lot more people in the world today with a lot more access to television. And no doubt its viewership pales in comparison to that of the NFL where regular-season Sunday games average close to 15 million viewers. But you know what? Pulling 18 million viewers is still pretty good. It’s just not NFL good. So-called experts argue that baseball needs to speed up, that it needs more action and more competition. No doubt this is being driven by marketing and media folks who have no problem squeezing the heart and soul out of a thing, so long as it means more viewers even for just a little while. I just read an article that suggested capping a batting team who was winning to only two outs. Others have suggested putting a clock on the pitcher. Every year someone has another bright idea on how to speed up the game. But you know what? Baseball isn’t football. It is baseball. And it has its own pace. As a fan, when we go to a football game, the joy is in being fully engaged with our friends and fellow fans to a game full of quick plays. And it’s awesome. It really is.
your win rates
But that’s not baseball. In baseball, it’s more about being engaged with our friends, family and fans, while watching a baseball game. As a fan, baseball is more about you and your fellow fans painting a picture together of what is going on in the field. Baseball is about subtleties. Sure, everyone can see when a home run is hit. But it’s harder to see the unspoken communication that goes on between a hitter and a batter. And the downtime that everyone wants to speed up, is what makes baseball magic for a fan. Unlike most things today, it gives us time and space to enjoy the company around us. In an age where everyone wants to be engaged in something, and usually that something is on their smart phone, it’s a breath of fresh air to watch something that gives me some space. I will say that football is my favorite sport. I played through high school and have coached 6 years of it with my son. I love every second of it. But I’ve also coached 12 years of baseball for my sons and have learned to love it, too. Whereas playing football is about managing a razor-thin balance between hyped aggression and disciplined focus, baseball players need to be more tempered, the kind of temper that allows you to consistently throw a 95 mile an

hour fastball 60 feet to within a tolerance of a couple inches. Or the kind that allows you to instinctively hit that same pitch. There is a rock-solid focus that goes into being able to do either. Maybe we can accept that it will never be football. Maybe instead of focusing on making baseball more like football, we can focus on improving what makes baseball great. One thing I love about listening to the Braves on the radio is getting to hear the stories the old players tell in between pitches. Give me more of that. Give me more information about the players and how they relate to the opposing team. In this ever-expanding world we now live in, I think baseball is just fine. Maybe it’s us who have to slow down.
Do you spend a lot of time pursuing opportunities and they just don’t happen? Qualifying opportunities to determine if you should put in the time and effort to pursue them is a dick jones critical success Founder & President Jones Simply Sales factor for improving your win rates. The more precise you are in qualifying an opportunity on the “front end,” the more likely you’ll be to win it on the “back end.” Ask yourself three questions when a new opportunity comes up. The first question is whether or not there actually is an opportunity to sell your product or service. Start by determining if there is a compelling event. A compelling event is defined in two ways. There is either a benefit associated with buying your product or service, or there is a consequence of not buying it. Once you know that a compelling event exists, you then have to ask yourself if you have a competitive product or service. In other words, do you have a product or service with unique features or capabilities that differentiates you from your competition? And finally, after successfully answering the first two questions, the third question is “Can we win?” Winning an opportunity requires that your product and service not only addresses all the formal decision criteria, but also that you have relationships with the key people who will make the decision. Take a moment to ask and answer these three questions when qualifying an opportunity, and you’ll most likely improve your win rates as a result.

Crooked Creek’s renovation includes new Primo Zoysia greens which use less resources and are shade tolerant. Crooked Creek is the first 18-hole course in the world to feature the new turf.
Crooked Creek nears end of $1.3 million renovation By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — After financial hardships, a potential sale of the property and a strained relationship with some nearby residents, Milton’s Crooked Creek Club will soon reopen with new owners, a new management company and a $1.3 million renovation. The course’s future was in question earlier this year after Triumph Golf — which purchased and sold Crooked Creek’s sister course, The Milton Country Club, to the city — entered into a due diligence period to potentially purchase the club. However, that sale fell through and with accusations that the ownership was not compensating some employees, the club’s outlook was shadowy. But now Crooked Creek personnel say the future is bright in its new direction and innovative updates. “We went through struggles with our former ownership group,” said General Manager Chris Wright. “Fortunately we have secured some really good owners and a management company. The owners have been fully committed to the renovation and have backed up every bit of that. It’s been a pleasure working with them.” The club is now under the management of Billy Casper Golf which supported the facelift to the club’s greens and bunkers. The former bentgrass greens have been replaced with Primo Zoysia, a warm-weather turf that is easier to maintain, uses less resources such as water and chemicals, is shade tolerant and provides a better putting surface, Director of Agronomy Mike Patterson said. He added that Crooked Creek will be the first 18-hole course in the world to feature the turf which has been tested in multiple countries in recent years. The bunkers have also been reworked and feature a new type of sand which can hold slopes more efficiently. Despite the updates, the course’s revered layout will remain unchanged. “The layout will still be the same, basically what we are doing is improv-
ing the most important parts,” Patterson said. The renovation also extends to the clubhouse. “The clubhouse still presents itself well, we’re just doing a bit of updating in and around the clubhouse to make it more user-friendly,” Wright said. The building will feature new flooring, banquet and patio furniture, hitting tee lines on the driving range with new bag stands and curtains to close off the outdoor pavilion for weddings or special events. The driving range will feature new hitting pads and bag stands. Conservation was also an emphasis for the renovation, Patterson said. The course will now feature several pollinator plots for wildflowers and bees. Milkweed will be planted in 12 areas and a monarch butterfly habitat has also been added that will be open to residents. “Parents and their kids will be able to come out and enjoy that,” Patterson said. “We are trying to be a better neighbor. That’s been missed for a long time.” Wright said the club’s relationship with nearby residents has been stressed in recent years, but members and nearby residents are excited for the changes. “They are really pumped and ready to get it open and play golf,” Wright said. “The renovation is being received well by current members, we have members wanting to come back and interested from perspective members.” Patterson, who said he often engages with members, reiterated those statements. “We are getting a lot of people asking when we are going to open,” he said. “That shows me they are really excited about it.” Wright said he hopes the renovation is the first step of many to improve the club in the future. “We are committed year to year to improve the property,” he said. “Whatever the next project is, we are going to tackle it.” Though a confirmed date has not been set for the opening of the rejuvenated club, Wright said the aim is to reopen late this month.

Selling your home while buying a new one Brought to you by –BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty After living in your home for a few years, it may be time to move into a new one. Perhaps your company is transferring you to a new city, or maybe you have started a family and need more space — or maybe you are just ready to “move up” in the world. As frequently as people switch or “upgrade” homes, you would think the housing industry would have perfected a process for selling your home and buying a new one at the same time. However, while it is done successfully by millions, it does not happen easily. There are many moving parts in the equation. The following tips and techniques are commonly used to smooth out the process, and they can work for you, as well. Make an offer with a contingency clause One of the most common strategies for simultaneous selling/buying is to make an offer on your new home with a contingency clause in the sales contract. The contingency clause says your purchase of the new home hinges on a successful sale of your current one. Some sellers are reluctant to accept contingency offers. However, this can be a good option if the seller is not in a hurry, if the seller is motivated, if you can demonstrate that you are wellqualified and/or if you can convince the seller that your home will sell in a reasonably quick amount of time.
Get a bridge loan You may not have to float two mortgages simultaneously. Many banks offer a bridge loan to qualified borrowers — a loan that enables you to own two homes simultaneously for a temporary Rawlings amount of time. It is a short-term loan that is repaid when you sell your existing home, at which time you can switch to a new mortgage. Price, stage and market your home to sell If your ability to afford your new home depends on the sale of the old one — especially in a contingency deal — the pressure is on to get your existing home sold as quickly as possible. Now is not the time for wishful thinking as to the price of your home. Make sure you price fairly but in a range that will make it attractive to buyers and decide how low you are willing to go on lower-than-listprice offers. Also, make sure the home is properly staged and have your agent embark on an aggressive marketing campaign to blast your listing across as many channels as possible. Selling your home and buying a new one at the same time is not an easy task, but with patience and flexibility you can get it done. A seasoned, experienced agent can help the process immensely. When you are ready to start, give Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty a call for an appointment at 770.442.7300.

The Truth About Downsizing Why it Works for Some and Not Others Hooray! You made your last tuition payment or maybe paid for the last wedding. And now it’s you and your spouse in a great big house. So it’s time to set in motion your grand plan, which goes something like this… 1. Sell the big house and move to a smaller house that’s easier to maintain, 2. Pocket the $100k or more from this transaction, 3. Take an extended European vacation this summer with some of the proceeds from the sale of the house. The Unwelcomed Cold Shower. As it turns out the grand plan may not happen just like you planned. You learn this when you call your favorite realtor and spend a day with them. It’s at this time that you realize that a new, smaller house costs more than you ever could have imaged. It’s at this moment that you truly feel the impact of new home prices rising faster than older home prices. The Punch to The Gut. Just as your realtor has done their best to explain the prices of smaller homes, it’s time to assess the listing price of your present home. Because you sent your kids to private schools, the very best colleges, bought cars for them and paid for weddings….. well, you never quite kept up with the whole remodeling thing. Your house was built in the 80’s or 90’s and it looks like the day it was built. Formica or Corian in the kitchen, a garbage compactor and desk in the kitchen. In the bathroom: gold framed small shower, cultured marble counters and huge mirrors glued to the walls. Every home in North Atlanta has the same finishes and they’re all “out of style” which makes your home NOT “Move in Ready” to the prospective buyer. So your realtor suggests a listing price far below your expectations. Don’t shoot your realtor they’re pretty familiar with this situation. Is it all Bad News? “No, for those
homeowners who have remodeled their Kitchens and Bathrooms, they are getting top dollar when selling their homes” says John Hogan, owner of Roswell’s Remodeling Expo Center, “families are fleeing the City of Atlanta and paying top dollar for move-in ready homes in North Atlanta. It’s all about the schools. Remodeling Expo Center has been assisting homeowners for 16 years with exactly this issue. The Rule of 1.5. When a prospective buyer assesses the value of your home they will apply the Rule of 1.5 to any room that requires remodeling, that is if they don’t just pass on your home. For example, if they believe a new kitchen will be $40k, they will discount your home by $40k times 1.5 or $60K. Same goes with the master bathroom. So you can see how brutal the Rule of 1.5 can be for the homeowner. This really hits home when offers come in very low or the realtor suggests successive listing price drops. So what’s the answer? First and foremost, don’t postpone remodeling to when you’re about to sell, because you won’t get to live and enjoy it. Secondly, remodel the rooms that will show the strongest return on your investment and thirdly, do it in a style that most people would enjoy. Remodeling Expo Center has been partnering with homeowners and realtors for decades to make “the home” not only functional, but a performing investment vehicle. “That house sold in 24 hours and for over the asking price”. This isn’t neighborhood folklore; it really happens. Homeowners who have the attitude of “I’ll let the next owner remodel” are doing themselves a great disservice. To learn more contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969 or stop in at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075. RemodelingExpo.com

Andy Harlin earns Hall of Fame honors
Blessed Trinity head coach entering 30th year of coaching By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — When Blessed Trinity head coach Andy Harlin learned he was to be inducted into the Georgia Dugout Club Hall of Fame in January, he first called his 87-year old father. “When they told me, I couldn’t wait to call my dad,” Harlin said. “He’s our biggest fan, and he was basically brought to tears. For the [nomination] to happen and for him to be around, that was special.” Harlin said his parents were the foundation of his love for baseball. His mother, who passed away from cancer in
1999, was a loyal Braves fan who would often stay up late to tune into west coast games over the radio. His father was a diehard Brooklyn Dodgers fan. “They are the two that really gave me the love for the game,” Harlin said. “They really set the foundation.” After the emotional call with his father, Harlin said he was able to reflect on the honor of being named into the Hall of Fame. “My jaw just hit the ground,” he laughed. “It’s a great state for baseball and it’s a tremendous honor. I’m still speechless now.” Harlin’s nomination comes ahead of his 30th year as a high school baseball

coach and 25th as head coach. He ranks 13th in the state in most career wins (568). His coaching career began at St. Pius X in 1990. Harlin took over as head coach in 1994 and led the Golden Lions until 2002. Under his direction, St. Pius compiled a 135-79-3 record and earned the program’s first playoff berth and region championship. Harlin joined Blessed Trinity and led the perennial powerhouse Titans to a 433-107 record with eight region championships, two state runner up finishes and three state championships. Though honored by his nomination, Harlin said he knows the recognition was won on the backs of his players and fellow coaches. “Really, I’m a reflection of them,” Harlin said. “My name is on the thing, but it’s all the players and coaches who do so much work. I’m not here without them.” After playing for Harlin at BT, over 60 players have gone on to play at the collegiate level and multiple graduates, including Tyler Flowers, Cody Roberts, Nathaniel Maggio, Bret Marks, Jake Skole, Drew O’Neil and Matt Skole have signed contracts with MLB teams. The impression Harlin left on his players was also evident after a medical scare left him sidelined near the end of the 2018 baseball season. He suffered two heart attacks and his coaches and players, both current and former, rallied

Harlin said he now has a clean bill of health and will return to the dugout as normal for the 2019 season. In his three decades of coaching, Harlin said it is impossible to answer what moments stick out to him, but that every season was special. “The easy answer would be the championship seasons, but that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface,” he said. “You love every kid and every team, regardless of how that season ended up.” The head coach said he hopes his legacy will one of dedication. “I hope they say that I cared and I was a worker,” Harlin said. “I know I have matured over the last 30 years, but whether it was the first year or the 30th season I’ve always given it all I’ve had. And I’m going to do that until someone says, ‘Dude, that’s enough.’” Harlin will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Jan. 11, 2019 at the Marietta Hilton Conference Center.

How to identify a sick tree It’s easy to miss when a tree is growing sick.

The longer it takes to spot problems, the more likely the tree’s illness will become serious enough that it needs to be

removed. However, if you can catch the signs early and call for an arborist, it may be possible to treat the sickness or damage and save the tree. Keep an eye out for these common signs of trouble: • Look for wilting or oddly-colored leaves, either along one or two limbs or all over the tree. • Check for cracks appearing in primary limbs or even in the trunk of the tree. • Examine dead branches, which may simply need pruning, but which can also indicate that a tree is in poor health. • Watch for decaying or hollow spots, especially along the trunk and around the joints of the limbs. • Look for insect damage, such as chewed leaves, holes made by burrowing bugs, silk webs and nests, and dripping sap or honeydew.

Milton 42, Cardinal Gibbons (FL) 17 Milton made the most of hosting the inaugural Freedom Bowl and blasted Florida’s Cardinal Gibbons, one of the top-ranked teams in the nation, in front of the Eagle faithful. The Eagles began their scoring with a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, and two rushing scores from Joshua Edwards put the game at 28-10 in the third quarter. Edwards continued his scoring later in the quarter with another touchdown rush as the Eagles defense held Cardinal Gibbons to a single score midway through the period. Milton’s win continued its undefeated start to the season in another spotlight game. Milton is off to its first 3-0 start since 2013.
South Forsyth 36, Etowah 14 South Forsyth bounced back from its lopsided loss to Blessed Trinity with a win over fellow Class 7A opponent Etowah at home Friday night. The contest was tied 7-7 in the second quarter before a string of unanswered scores from the War Eagles. Daryn Rogers scored a rushing touchdown, Willian Botta kicked a field goal and Drew Morris connected with Mitchell Thompson to give South the 23-7 lead. Etowah scored its final touchdown early in the third quarter before Rogers crossed the goal line again on the ground and Morris connected with Cameron Schurr to allow South to cruise to the win. The War Eagles are 2-1 this season.

The Hornets jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first half with Centennial’s potent offense held to just 71 total yards. But the Knights regrouped in the second half and mounted a comeback. Centennial cut the gap to 27-21 and looked poised to take the lead with their offense clicking. However, an interception ended their drive and Roswell scored on an 86-yard touchdown pass just three plays later. Another Centennial interception in the final minutes was returned for a touchdown to improve Roswell to 2-0 this season. The Knights dropped to 0-2.

The Raiders trailed 9-0 at the half before a Kevin Watkins rushing touchdown tightened the score midway through the third. The gap remained 9-7 in the fourth when Alpharetta failed to convert a fourth down in Lanier territory. However, the Raiders’ defense responded by holding Lanier on fourth down to set up their eventual game-winning drive. Alpharetta quarterback Bradley Rowlinson came off the bench in the second half and earned the Raiders a fourthdown conversion to keep their drive alive. He then had a 22-yard run and 24-yard pass to Robbie Ruppel to set up

Lanier faced a long fourth down conversion with just 23 seconds left and failed to move the sticks. Blessed Trinity 43, Woodward Academy 21 Blessed Trinity continued its challenging non-region schedule Friday night with a win in a battle of two teams ranked in the top-10 of Class 4A. BT tied the game at 7-7 with a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. Woodward responded with a 71-yard pass to reclaim the lead but did not find pay dirt again until the fourth quarter. Steele Chambers added four rushing touchdowns and Jake Smith had a picksix to allow the Titans to run away with the victory in the second half.

King’s Ridge forced a safety in the second quarter and added a touchdown from Christian Smith, in the fourth, but could not overcome the 14-9 gap. After a bye week, the Tigers will kick off their region schedule against defending Region 6-A champions Mount Paran on Sept. 14. Mount Pisgah 37, St. Francis 28 Mount Pisgah (1-2) earned its first win of the season Friday night on the road against St. Francis (0-2) in the first region contest for both teams. Mount Pisgah improved to 5-0 all-time against the Knights with the win. The teams exchanged scores throughout the first half, and St. Francis tied the game at 28-28 on their opening possession of the third quarter. The Patriots responded with a 35yard touchdown pass from Connor Norwood to Greyson Stevens and a field goal to take a 37-28 lead. St. Francis had opportunities to erase the lead in the final frame, but the Patriots forced a goal-line stand on the 1-yard
line and hauled in an interception in the final minute to secure the win. Mount de Sales 21, Pinecrest Academy 16 Pinecrest fell to 0-2 Friday night with a loss at home to Mount de Sales. It is the 13th straight on-field loss for the Paladins. Pinecrest had its only lead of the game, 9-7, in the second quarter before Mount de Sales scored two unanswered touchdowns in the third.

Coroner, mental health officials dispel myths about suicide By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, yet it remains one of the most difficult topics to discuss for many. That radio silence, even with good intentions, can cause more harm than good. Dozens of residents met at Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church Aug. 30 to broach the topic, better understand it and dispel some of the common misconceptions about suicide. “In the absence of meaningful talks, suicide myths have evolved,” said Dr. Rachel Geller, associate medical examiner for the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office. These myths can cause people to overlook signs or not consider that a loved one is considering suicide, she added. Geller along with Dr. Jan Gorniak, the chief medical examiner, examined autopsy data from Fulton County and hundreds of survey data they received from questionnaires about some of the most common myths. The session covered questions regarding suicide rates among different demographics, common methods, suicide notes and messages and timing. The youngest age a person may be considered a suicide and the average age of a suicide in Fulton County was perhaps the most shocking for the crowd. Most survey respondents said teenage years were the youngest a person could be considered a suicide and the average age of victims was 27.7 years old. But the youngest victim of suicide Gorniak said she had worked on was an 8 year old. And it’s not that uncommon, she added. The average age of suicide in Fulton County is 43.9 years old, Geller said. The rates of suicide among different age
group are pretty consistent from 21-60 years old, before dipping down and spiking again in the 90s. The weapon of choice in most cases across all demographics, Geller said, are firearms. That includes women. Geller and Gorniak’s survey data showed over 80 percent of respondents said overdose was the most common method of suicide for women. In fact, the majority of female suicide cases that end in death in Fulton County involved a firearm. Overdoses account for 28 percent. As this is autopsy data, it does not include attempted suicides. Several mental health professionals from Summit Counseling Center also spoke about the topic and fielded questions from attendees. One of their main messages was to take any remark hinting about suicide seriously and that talking about suicide will not plant the idea in someone’s head. On the contrary, talking about suicide can actually help lower the risk, they said. Fulton County Schools is also partnering with Summit Counseling Center to add more mental health professionals in its schools. Currently, schools that offer help from Summit Counseling include Alpharetta, Centennial, Chattahoochee, Johns Creek, Milton and North View high schools. A texting program that can connect students with mental health professionals is also in the works. “We all have to be engaged,” said Fulton County Commissioner Bob Ellis. “There are hard issues that aren’t going away, but they can get better.” “If we talk about it, we can save lives,” Gorniak said. This discussion was part of a series of meetings by the North Fulton Mental Health Collaborative. To learn about future meetings and events, visit facebook. com/NFMHC.

Dozens of people gathered at Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church in Johns Creek Aug. 30 to hear representatives from the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office speak about common myths about suicide. The symposium was part of the North Fulton Mental Health Collaborative. Mental health professionals also spoke about suicide prevention methods and resources.
Resources September is widely recognized as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Anyone who is or knows someone who is struggling with a crisis or is at risk of suicide is urged to reach out for help. Possible warning signs vary from individual to individual but can include: • Feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, trapped or like a burden • Reckless behavior, including increased use of drugs or alcohol • Isolation • Sleeping too much or too little • Loss of interest, especially in activities they once enjoyed • Giving away prized possessions and saying goodbyes The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-8255, is toll-free, confidential and always open. The deaf or hard of hearing can contact the lifeline at 1-800-799-4889. People can also text 741741. More crisis services and suicide information can be found at suicidepreventionlifeline.org, thetrevorproject.org and veteranscrisisline.net. Local resources can be found at northfulton.com.
