New initiatives highlight Milton’s 2020 budget By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — The Milton City Council approved the city’s 2020 budget at its Sept. 23 meeting which opens the door for several new undertakings. “We are delivering on our promises which is to truly perform at the level asked for by the community,” said Finance Director Bernadette Harvill. “The majority of our requests to council were approved, and they are driven to do just that, which is provide the quality of service asked by staff. A lot of those driving forces are a lot of the new initiatives.” The budget will allow Milton to conduct a city-wide traffic survey which will provide data on traffic patterns and a study on potentially lowering speed limits. Also approved under the budget is allocating $220,000 for a HAWK traffic signal for pedestrian crossing on Crabapple road in Downtown Crabapple. A

HAWK signal is operating along Ga. 9 in Downtown Alpharetta. The budget also calls for several park initiatives, including the addition of a new baseball field. Milton has set aside $450,000 for land acquisition, construction and planning/design for the new, lighted field. Milton also has $934,000 budgeted for improvements, repairs and updates to the park at the former Milton Country Club property and $650,000 earmarked to add to the city’s active park spaces. In response to the dissolvement of Milton’s parks agreement with Alpharetta, the budget will set aside $50,000 for a cost-saving program for residents who must pay out-of-city fees for Alpharetta programming. The 2020 budget for several new city employees, including two new firefighters and two police officers. A departmental study on the city’s police force said an increase in calls has spurred the

need for more patrol officers. The new hires will bring the city’s total number of general patrol officers to 21. Milton has also budgeted for parttime special events coordinator, two paid summer internship positions, changing a part-time parks and recreation position to full-time and the creation of a camp manager position for Camp Joyful Soles. The budget also looks to future initiatives with funds allocated for the city’s new public safety complex, which is under construction, and Milton’s 5-year strategic plan, which will serve as a guide for the city’s future spending. The total budget was set at $42.9 million and balanced by using $1.7 million in fund balance reserves. The general fund revenues are expected to be just under $30 million and the city anticipates $6.5 million in transportation sales tax revenues. The city expects just under $17 million in property tax revenues, which ac-

counts for 41 percent of the city’s intake. That amount was impacted by the new floating homestead tax exemption. “Our number of exempt properties more than doubled with the floating exemption,” Harvill said. However, the city did make up some of those funds by electing to raise its millage rate back to its cap of 4.731, the same rate the city has used every year but 2018. That year, the city chose to lower the rate amid the sharp and sudden increase to property tax assessments. The city also chose to change its budgeting process as a result of the 2018 assessments. Milton changed its strategy and began funding its operations using revenues generated from the prior year instead of anticipating revenues for the upcoming year. By returning to the city’s historic millage rate, Harvill said Milton is able to bring back its original capital improvement program.

City Council adjusts zoning conditions for Matilda’s music venue Officials lower noise limits, raise audience size allowed By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — The Milton City Council approved several zoning modifications for Birmingham Crossroads music venue Matilda’s at its Sept. 23 meeting. The changes include an increase to the number of attendees allowed at each concert and a decrease in the allowable noise level. The council also paved the way for the venue to add additional parking through variance requests. The council voted 5-0 in favor of the changes with Laura Bentley recused and Joe Longoria absent. A major point of discussion among the council and residents who spoke at the meeting related to the venue’s noise levels, a contentious point when the city approved the relocation of Matilda’s more than a year ago. While the venue has complied to its 75-decibel limit for continuous noise

under its special use permit, the council chose to lower the limit to 70 decibels at last week’s meeting. Through an open records request obtained by Appen Media Group, Milton Police fielded seven noise complaint calls from May 25 to July 13 at Matilda’s. According to city officials, Matilda’s did not exceed its permitted 75 decibel limit at adjacent property lines when police were called to investigate. The city also contracted acoustics and vibration consultant firm Ballentine Walker Smith Inc. to conduct an independent noise evaluation during recent concerts. In a letter to the city, the company said Matilda’s was “fully compliant” with Milton’s limit of 75 decibels at the site’s property lines during an Aug. 31 concert. The report said noise levels at a nearby farm on Birmingham Road and the Breamridge subdivision were “much lower” than the 75-decibel limit. The highest recording, 62 decibels, was

taken at a residential property east of Matilda’s, an increase of 11 decibels over previously recorded ambient noise. However, City Manager Steve Krokoff said the city has recorded levels as high as 76 decibels at other locations. The letter also stated that while Matilda’s is compliant, sound is subjective and that “even sounds in this range may disturb certain individuals.” The acoustic firm did suggest Milton change the language in the special use permit from continuous noise to “peak” sound. However, the council did not make the change after discussing the impacts the change could have to enforcement and the city’s six-month review of Matilda’s. The review was put into place when the city greenlit the relocation of the venue with the intention of measuring the impact of Matilda’s to its neighbors six months after its first concert. The council is set to discuss the business’ impacts at a work session this November. However, council members took the opportunity to lower the noise limit while a zoning modification was before them, a privilege they would not be afforded in a work session. Mayor Joe Lockwood said he favored changing the decibel limit now rather than waiting for the work session. “As far as the review, I’d be willing to bet the same people who have spoken in favor and the same people who have spoken against would probably be here at a six-month review,” Lockwood said. “And maybe I’m taking a common sense approach at them, but why do we want to make the business owner, the property owner as well as the folks who have a con-

cern to come back out here when we do have some leeway with a zoning issue.” But Councilman Joe Longoria said Milton has moved the goalposts. “I didn’t want to change the rules in the middle of the game, because now we are going to have to try and analyze results from two different data sets,” he said. “We are just creating an environment where we are going to get mixed results.” While Longoria was OK with the changes, he said by adjusting the number of patrons allowed and the noise limits, the effectiveness of the upcoming review will be negated. While Matilda’s will have to operate under more stringent noise regulations, the council greenlit the increase in concertgoers permitted at each performance. When the city approved the relocation of Matilda’s last summer, it put a cap on the allowable number of attendees for each concert at 200, with two performances a year allowing up to 250 patrons. After last week’s vote, Matilda’s can now allow up to 250 patrons at each concert and up to 300 at two concerts per season. The venue can hold up to 30 concerts from May 1 through Oct. 1 on Friday and Saturday nights from 7 to 11 p.m. City staff recommended approval of the attendance increase and variances to increase the site’s parking on the west and northern section of the property. The council also followed staff’s lead by denying a request for the fence near the Hickory Flat Road frontage to infringe on the right of way. City staff said the fence, as is, impedes the sightline for drivers and recommended it either be removed or relocated.

Fulton graduation rate leads among metro school systems District still striving to realize goals of Strategic Plan

2019 Graduation Rates for North Fulton High Schools

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com

School Alpharetta Cambridge Centennial Chattahoochee Independence Johns Creek Milton Northview Roswell North Fulton District State

Students in the Fulton County School System are graduating in record numbers from the district’s 19 high schools, but the goal of reaching a 92 percent graduation rate still remains a district priority. Data released by the Georgia Department of Education calculated Fulton’s graduation rate at 87.2 percent for the class of 2019, a 0.4 percent increase from the previous year and among the highest rates of metro Atlanta school systems. Fulton’s graduation rate also exceeds the state average by more than 5 percentage points. “The data shows that our district made progress on this front last year,” said Fulton Superintendent Mike Looney. “We intend to celebrate the hard work of our schools. We intend to remain laser focused on ensuring that this trend continues so that we can witness all of our students walk across the high school stage with a diploma.” Statewide, the graduation rate of 82 percent is an all-time high for Georgia since 2012 when federal law adjusted

how graduation rates could be calculated. The previous formula did not factor in drop-outs or transfers, leading to artificially high graduation rates. Among the 19 high schools across Fulton County, all but five increased their graduation rate over the previous year. In North Fulton, only two schools, Milton and Johns Creek high schools, posted slightly lower graduation rates from the previous year. Among the top performers, Chattahoochee High School led the pack with a graduation rate of 97.9 percent, followed by Cambridge (97.6) and Northview (90). Fulton’s 5-year Strategic Plan, first passed in 2012 and renewed in 2017, sets a high bar for the district’s graduation rates. In 2012 the goal was a 90 percent graduation rate; in 2017 it went to 92 percent. “While Fulton’s graduation rate of 87.2 leads our metro peers and there is much to be celebrated, we have not reached our Strategic Plan 2022 target of 92 percent,” said Cliff Jones, Chief Academic Officer. “This gap shows that there is work to be done.” This year, all eight traditional high schools in North Fulton exceeded the 90

State Schools Superintendent Richard Woods said the work the Georgia Department of Education is doing to customize education for each child is paying off with higher graduation rates and overall achievement. “Moving forward, we must continue to focus on offering a relevant education and preparing every child for their fu-

ture – not a one-size-fits-all system that sends every student in the same direction,” said Woods. He noted Georgia is seeking flexibility from the federal government to develop an alternate diploma for students with significant cognitive disabilities, which may impact how graduation rates are calculated in the future if the waiver is approved.

City resurfaces tennis courts at former Milton Country Club property By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

MILTON, Ga. — Much-needed repairs for the city’s tennis center at the former Milton Country Club property were completed last week with the resurfacing of the four asphalt courts. The city contracted Signature Tennis Courts, Inc., for the resurfacing with a price tag just under $20,000, and the city will receive outside help to cut its cost. Milton received a $7,000 grant from the U.S. Tennis Association and may be in line to receive another $2,800 from the Southeastern office of the organization. Parks and Recreation Director Jim Cregge said the city expects to receive word on the additional grant in the coming weeks. Cregge said the city had no records to determine when the last time the courts were resurfaced, but they were in poor condition with more than 500 feet of cracks. With the resurfacing, the look and playability of the courts are vastly improved. Crews cleaned the court surface, placed several layers of mesh tape over cracks to reseal the asphalt, applied a new surface coat and repainted the lines. Perhaps no one is more excited about the resurfacing that Terre O’Brien, who

leads the tennis program at the park under the banner of the Milton Tennis Center. O’Brien has been an instructor at the site for 24 years and has a dedicated following among the local tennis community. “We have had some matches already, and the players have just loved it,” O’Brien

said. “It’s actually easier on the knees too because it has a little cushion to it.” The courts have far improved playability. O’Brien said some cracks were up to a half-inch wide. “If you hit one of those cracks before, the ball can go anywhere,” he said. “Now it’s pure when it bounces.” That will be a plus for the nearly 200 players who play and train at the courts. The Milton Tennis Center has the most amount of Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association teams in the state for a 4-court facility. The tennis program’s future was in limbo when the city purchased the Milton Country Club property last January, but it has thrived since the decision was made to continue the program under the city’s banner. “It’s pretty cool they supported the popularity of tennis in Milton and in the state in general,” O’Brien said. “At first, the residents were begging the city to keep the program going, but now that we don’t have the [parks agreement] with Alpharetta, Milton needs it.” Those needs have been growing recently, and O’Brien has faced the logistical challenge of having hundreds of players on just four courts. But relief could be coming down the road. Milton recently adopted a master

plan for the site which will serve as a roadmap for potential future improvements to the active and passive portions of the park. Under the plan, the city will construct two additional tennis courts. “I could definitely have more teams, and we could probably have tournaments with six courts and expand lessons,” O’Brien said. Recently, O’Brien held a beginners tennis class for kids, and 50 kids participated. “Cramming them on four courts, you have a lot of kids waiting their turn,” he said. “[Adding two courts] would totally change their experience, and it could really help the community to have more availability for lessons and teams.” The master plan calls for other potential additions to the active portion of the park, including a volleyball court and the Children’s Charities all-inclusive playground. The clubhouse will also be renovated. The first stage of the renovation will create a men’s and women’s locker room, a dining area and multipurpose spaces. The tennis court resurfacing project was the second improvement to the active portion of the park since the city purchased the site last year through its Greenspace Bond. Milton also resurfaced the two pools at the site.

Alpharetta closed out summer on Sept. 29 with its second annual Drool in the Pool at Wills Park. The event drew some 200 dogs who spent the hot afternoon enjoying a splash at one of the city’s most popular attractions. Jenny Simpson, recreation supervisor II for Alpharetta Recreation, Parks & Cultural Services, said Drool in the Pool caps a busy season at the pool, which now shuts down until spring. The facility received an extensive remodel and reopened in 2018 with new leisure and competition pools, a water slide and a zero entry pool area with water features. Throughout this summer the pool hosted more than 38,000 people and also served as the main training facility for the Alpharetta Sharks

It’s A Grand Slam!!!! WINNER 2016

JOE PARKER/HERALD

A plea to readers: Let’s find a name for Milton Country Club property A few months ago, a consultant working with Milton on its master plan for the park at the former Milton Country Club property said a major aspect of reopening the site is giving it a name. After all, JOE PARKER a name provides a Editor joe@appenmediagroup.com sense of place, such as Providence Park or Birmingham Park. It can also serve as a way to celebrate the city, a person or other entity, such as Bell Memorial Park, which is named in honor of John Bell who donated 15 acres of land for the future park in his will. But more important to this journalist is that once a name is given to the park at the former Milton Country Club property, I no longer have to write “park at the former Milton Country Club property.” For nearly two years now I’ve had to type out that phrase seemingly every week, and quite frankly, I’m sick of it. So here is my plea: let’s just name the park, already. To get the ball rolling, I’ll outline a few ideas I have. For instance, anything. Because any name is better than the park at the former Milton Country Club property, which sounds like the park is having an identity crisis or was named by the artist formerly known as Prince. From my writing perspective, I’d be happy to call it Park X, though that probably would have been more appropriate for Providence Park when those unknown chemicals were found dumped on the site. But really, any name. How about Fore Park, a pun-ny play on the fact that it was once a golf course and is the city’s fourth sizeable park?

Or we could call it Floss Pick Park given its slight likeness to something you use to fish out popcorn kernels from your molars. Or, keeping with the shape theme, how about Amoeba Park? The city could also use the naming process to address the fact that numerous homes will abut the property, and to heed warning, name it, Stay the Hell Off My Lawn Park. Two of Milton’s parks that are not named based on location both start with ‘F,’ including Freedom Park and Friendship Park. How about we continue that trend and, just for good measure, throw in some of that Milton love of horses and give it an equine theme like Foal Park? Oh, I’ve got it, Foallywood! Sticking with the horse theme, how about Pastern Park? Doesn’t that just roll off the tongue and, in an unrelated matter, can be typed quickly by someone who makes his living typing on a computer? Like a newspaper editor, for instance. Truthfully, I imagine the city will open the naming process up to the public, and you, my dear readers, will absolutely come up with better names. Even if the suggestion is made, and I’m not making it, that the site be called Parky McParkface Park in the same vein as the internet’s naming of the ship Boaty McBoatface. You can help me in never again having to write “park at the former Milton Country Club property” again by beginning to think of your ideas. To help keep you thinking about what you would like to see the park named, consider the following limerick: “There once was a park off Dinsmore Road But on it a bad tag was bestowed A new name was called for One the people would adore So Joe’s ideas went down the commode”

We want to be a part of the community. It’s always been a big part of what we do… The community supports us, and we want to support the community. Michael Curling, Variant Brewing Company business office manager 12 | Milton Herald | October 3, 2019

Roswell craft brewery reps talk industry history, trends By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The craft brew industry had little to no foothold in the North Atlanta market 20 years ago, and now, it’s become a burgeoning business. Roswell alone is now home to three breweries: Gate City Brewing Company, From the Earth Brewing Company and Variant Brewing Company. Gate City Brewing Company Founder Pat Rains and Variant Brewing Company Business Office Manager Michael Curling attended the Sept. 26 Roswell Rotary Club meeting at Roswell Area Park to speak about their industry. The national economic impact of the craft brew industry last year, according to Rains, was $79.1 billion, including $5 billion in direct wages and benefits. “This industry is burgeoning here, and it’s doing that and growing across the country,” he said. “The economic impact of all the breweries is pretty staggering.” And the impact is also felt by Roswell’s tourism industry, Rains added. Both his and Curling’s breweries encourage visitors to stop, shop and visit other places within the Historic District. “It’s a trickle-down effect,” Rains said. Rains, a native of Portland, Ore., was inspired to help found Gate City Brewing Company when he moved into Roswell and was unable to find craft beers similar to the ones he enjoyed in the Northwest. So, he decided to try his hand at making his own. Curling and the founders of Variant City Brewing had similar experiences. Curling said he grew up in Roswell and

Unlike other industries, Rains said, the craft beer industry tends to be collaborative and, for whatever reason, philanthropic. “One of the most unique things about this industry is the collaboration and how friendly everybody is,” Rains said. “I had heard about it, but until I got into the industry, it was something I couldn’t really explain to somebody coming from a business background… When you’re

not competing, it makes it easy to have a brewery and do good things.” Curling said the breweries will often share ingredients and tips and, most recently, host walking tours to promote business in both companies. Both breweries are also frequently involved with local nonprofits and allow these groups to host meetings and special events within their space. “These guys both have it in their DNA to serve the community through their breweries,” said Roswell Rotary Club President Gordon Owens.

Both companies were attracted to Roswell because of its community, and they wanted to continue the legacy by giving back, Curling said. “We want to be a part of the community,” he said. “It’s always been a big part of what we do… The community supports us, and we want to support the community.” Most recently, Gate City Brewing Company has partnered with End Human Trafficking Now to release the Freedom Fighter IPA to raise funds and awareness about human trafficking.

Buckhead CID makes private transportation public With app-driven ride-sharing programs like Uber and Lyft woven into the fabric of our communities, and selfdriving cars on the horizon, the Buckhead Community Improvement District Geoff smith inked a contract last Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com week to incorporate the systems into a public-like transit service. The Buckhead CID approved a one-year contract for $607,000 with Via Transportation Inc., a service more focused on the ridesharing aspect and typically confined to specific areas. In this case, Via has partnered with Mercedes-Benz Vans to provide vans within the Buckhead CID. Like Uber and Lyft, a rider would use an app to request a ride. Within minutes, a van with other passengers would arrive nearby and take you close to your destination. From a transit perspective, it’s a great alternative to providing your own system because there is really no upfront cost. It’s almost like subbing out a transit system to a private company. The system is meant to compliment the free Buc Shuttle service that runs through the corridor, but has more flexible routes and can get passengers to that “last mile.” “When we created the buc there was no such thing as a smartphone, much less on-demand transportation,” said Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead, in a recent Atlanta Business Chronicle article. “Transition-

Local physician honored for humanitarian efforts MILTON, Ga. — Dr. James Morrow of Morrow Family Medicine recently received the 2019 Distinguished Humanitarian Physician Alumni Award from the University of South Carolina School of

ing to microtransit allows us to provide a more convenient service for our current riders and also opens up opportunities for expanded service down the road.” The comment could mean that one day the Via service, if it works well, could supplant the current bus system. One of the biggest knocks on MARTA these days is that it doesn’t get riders close enough to where they need to be. Or there are too many connections. You might take a bus to the North Springs MARTA station, for example, but if it takes you into town, you might still have several blocks to walk after getting off. Many riders then either get on a busline, or Uber of Lyft their way to their final destination. Intown there is much more connectivity and MARTA has more train stops and bus routes that a worker wouldn’t have too much trouble say stepping out for lunch and not having to drive to get there. But out in the suburbs, there is nowhere near the network of public transportation. I can imagine the folks in Alpharetta taking note, and maybe the North Fulton CID thinking that this could be a great way to get workers around the different nodes. Certainly it would increase value for the various business parks if it was free and easy to get from work to Avalon or downtown Alpharetta for lunch. The $607,000-contract that the Buckhead CID agreed to sign certainly shows that the service isn’t free. It’s free to the riders, but someone has to pay for it. And you know who that is? It’s the commercial property owners in that district. A CID, or community improvement district, is a geographical area

where all of the commercial property owners agree to pay an added tax every year. That money goes into an account where a board made up of those property owners, and usually some members of the community, decide how the money is spent within that corridor. The funds are typically used to improve and maintain infrastructure, like building better looking sidewalks, improving infrastructure, or installing and maintaining landscaping. All of these things improve the corridor and thus improve a potential tenant’s desire to want to be in that corridor. With increased demand, it increases the values of those properties within that corridor. So by paying the added tax, the commercial properties owners are increasing the values of their properties as well as the incomes generated by their properties. Certainly the businesses in the Buckhead CID will have an advantage over other companies located elsewhere, especially when it comes time to recruit talent if they can show them a free ridesharing service to move more easily throughout the corridor.

Using email marketing provides inexpensive access to customers Are you using email marketing to keep in touch with your current customers? Do you use email marketing as a means to attract new customers? If not, you may not be on an dick jones even playing field Founder & President Jones Simply Sales with your competitors who are. Today, 94 percent of internet users between the ages of 18-64 send or read email. It is also far more cost effective than direct mail, which costs 20 times as much as sending an email. There are a lot of options to set up an email marketing system for your business. Determining how many emails you will send, when you send them and the type of information you include is a good starting point. You also need to make sure you are meeting your audience’s expectations by providing relevant content on topics they are interested in. The Can-Spam Act of 2003 established the first national standard requiring any electronic mail message, whose primary purpose is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a product or service, to be compliant with the law. This means emails can only be sent to those who have “opted in” or given you permission. There are many email marketing systems available with very affordable prices for small businesses. They have easy to use templates to communicate your marketing message, include pictures of your products, and create links to your web site and social media pages. In today’s digital marketplace, having an email marketing capability is a proven approach to helping a small business grow sales.

If you haven’t seen the new downtown Alpharetta district, this is a great opportunity to see how the city has transformed this live, work, and play community. The City of Alpharetta describes their town as a place where, “you’ll find a real genuine, down to earth and fun-loving attitude among those who are lucky enough to live here.” A few of those lucky residents have offered to open their homes so you can see the work they’ve done to create a home in their fantastic city. 105 Shady Grove Lane: This home was built in 1973 and the owners literally raised the roof in a part of the house to go from 8-foot ceilings to a nice 11.5-foot

vault. The home was initially about 1700 square feet and they added on a full master bath/closet and reworked the laundry and husband’s shop area, for a total of about 2500 square feet. While we know they wanted to live in walking distance to Alpharetta’s city center, the homeowners say, “The truth of the matter is we bought it so our dogs would have a nice backyard in which to play!” 72 Nathan Circle: This home was built in the 1965 and has been remodeled with a mid-century modern flair. It sits on close to an acre with a pool and is super cool! The homeowners wanted to be downtown and spotted the house, knocked on the door, and finally convinced the owner to sell after she found them another home to purchase!

Greige is the new beige “Unless you’ve been in a coma for the past few years, greige tones have taken over” says John Hogan, owner of Remodeling Expo Center in Roswell. From paint to wallpaper to flooring, this neutral shade is oh-so-on-trend. And it’s not hard to see why. The popular hue can blend seamlessly with any design style, and while your furniture and decor might come and go, your classic walls can remain the same. Want to know how you can update your classic beige north Atlanta home? Lead Designer, Brittany Lingerfelt, has been incorporating greige into north Atlanta homes for several years. Here are a few of her ideas that will renew your home. Neutral Greige Works with What You Have Part of the appeal of greige is that it works with existing dark stained furniture, wall trim or cabinets. It’s a great way to lighten up your home without needing to sell everything you own. You can go greige in the master bathroom and leave beige in the master bedroom. It may seem like a small change but it will make your rooms feeler cooler, and larger. Match Your Artwork The deliciously neutral wall shade in a living room blends perfectly with a similarly hued piece of artwork and a curved table lamp sitting on top of a rustic console, and complemented by a rug with some cool tones. If you’ve been staring at the same picture on the wall for 25 years: change it out. Pictures with water scenes will work really well. Pair With White for a Coastal Look One of the many benefits of a neutral living room color idea is the fact that it has the lightness of gray with the

warmth of beige, so there’s no chance of this shade looking cold. You can create a different ambience with greige depending on what you choose to pair it with. Keep it warm with more taupe and beige tones, or make it fresh with a chalky white. Greige in the Kitchen Transition the beige in the family room to greige in the kitchen and use this opportunity to update the kitchen. Greige paint on the walls complemented by a clean white cabinet looks absolutely gorgeous. Then on the island, you can go a little crazy with a cool grey cabinet. Top it all off with a marble looking quartz counter and you have a milliondollar-looking kitchen. Make a Statement Why not go all out with your living room color idea and match your furniture with your walls? A tone-on-tone greige approach can look extremely slick, especially if you keep the rest of the monochromatic look clean and streamlined. This approach is a little more comprehensive but you’ll feel like you live in a totally new home. Greige in the Bathroom The bathroom is the room that undoubtedly looks the best in greige, because you can incorporate it everywhere: shower pan, shower walls, floor and cabinets. Tile is a cool surface to begin with and using a combination of greys and beiges, perhaps in a marbleized porcelain tile, looks fantastic. For more ideas on how to transform your home with design and colors, contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969 or stop in at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075. RemodelingExp.o.com

5 tips for increasing your Atlanta home’s value Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty

alone, not realizing how competitive the market really is. To boost your Atlanta home’s value, keep the following five tips in mind.

When you decide to put your home up for Rawlings sale, you naturally want to recoup as much of your investment as possible. Just as important, you want to be assured you’re getting paid the full value of what your home is worth. In the robust Atlanta housing market, firsttime Atlanta home sellers often make the mistake of assuming their home will gain a good price based on demand

MILTON. $1,089,000 900 Crabapple Hill 5BR/5BA/2HBA FMLS: 6579193 Kimberly Counter 678.938.5885

Update the kitchen Experts agree that kitchen remodels tend to bring the most value for the dollar, primarily because, for most homebuyers, the kitchen is the most important room in the home. A sprucedup kitchen can boost your home’s value by as much as 7 percent. Even minor updates like upgrading appliances and hardware will produce good results. For a bigger impact at the closing table, consider updating the countertops to quartz, marble or granite and installing stainless steel appliances.

Update the bathrooms Similar to the kitchen, your bathrooms will have a high yield per dollar spent. Again, minor improvements like fresh paint, hardware and caulking will benefit you somewhat, but anything up to a full gut and remodel will be a value booster. For maximum impact, consider replacing the tub, countertops, fixtures and tile and install a new toilet if necessary. Add square footage The more usable square footage your home has, the higher its appraisal value. Finishing out a basement or attic is a great way to add extra rooms and living space. Converting a “bonus” room to an extra en suite bedroom can also be a plus. Building an add-on or stand-alone in-law suite can garner an increase in value in the tens of thousands of dollars. Make it energy efficient With so much attention on energy efficiency and environmental friendliness, you can’t go wrong by taking steps to lower your home’s energy output and costs. From simple steps like weatherproofing and insulation, to replacing drafty doors and windows, anything you can do to reduce energy bills for the next owners can get you more money at the closing table. Even if it doesn’t boost your home’s appraisal value, it will certainly boost your home’s perceived value, and energy-conscious buyers will gladly pay more for these features. Spruce it up — inside and out The “lived-in” look may sell blue jeans, but it doesn’t do so well with homes. First impressions matter; buyers generally decide within the first seven seconds whether they are interested in your home. If your home’s curb appeal is lacking—especially compared to other homes on your street—consider sprucing it up with landscaping, decluttering, fresh paint and maybe a new front

Crabapple Fest returns this weekend Thousands expected in Downtown Crabapple By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — With cooperation from the weather, around 30,000 people are expected to line downtown Crabapple for the seventh edition of Crabapple Fest. The event, which takes place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., will feature arts, antiques and crafts vendors, live music, food trucks and kid’s activities. Crabapple Fest is put on through a partnership with the city and the Crabapple Community Association. “Special events such as this one not only serve our residents…this annual event draws people from all over the metro-area,” said Community Outreach Manager Courtney Spriggs. “Milton is already an amazing place to eat, shop, and live, but as non-residents are introduced to the city during these events, it becomes more of a destination. These events are an excellent economic development tool because surrounding retailers gain exposure to customers well beyond our city limits.” Those looking for one-of-a-kind items

Thousands are expected to line Crabapple Road this Saturday for the seventh annual Crabapple Fest. will have around 80 vendors from which to choose. Spriggs said the Crabapple Community Association have vetted the vendors to ensure items at the festival are unique and handmade. Attendees can shop for antiques, home décor, art, clothing, prepared foods, jewelry, pottery and other items. Twenty food vendors are expected including Crabapple staples like ‘Cue, Olde Blind Dog, Cans and Kathleen’s Catch, and others like Bahamian fare from Island Chef Café and Daddy O’Briens Irish Ice Cream Pub.

There will also be plenty for kids to do. “Crabapple Fest will have face-painting, fun rides and bounce houses, as well as some vendors who have fun ways for kids to interact, like Coal Mountain Panjo, which makes musical instruments out of household items like kids did in the 1800s, and Scribbler Experiment, which allows children to color beautifully designed items they can use every day, like placemats, pencil pouches, toys and more,” Spriggs said. Attendees can also take in some college football with a “Game Day”

area showing gridiron action on a big screen. “I love that what started years ago as a small community event has grown to include surrounding communities and is still what draws people together in Milton in the fall,” Spriggs said. The festival has extended its footprint to the roundabout at Crabapple Road and Heritage Walk this year. Crabapple Road will be closed between the roundabout and the intersection of Birmingham Highway and Broadwell Road beginning Friday at 6 p.m. and will reopen Saturday at 10 p.m. Itaska Walk at Crabapple Road will also be closed during the festival. Attendees should park at Crabapple First Baptist, Crabapple Crossing Elementary or Milton High School. A shuttle will run from the church and Milton High throughout the event. Gravel parking for customers of Crabapple Market businesses will be available, but festivalgoers are not permitted to park in those areas. Street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods is also prohibited. To see a list of vendors or view an interactive map of Crabapple Fest, visit eventeny.com/events/CrabappleFest-168.

SportS recap Football Week 6 recap (Sept. 27)

Parkview takes tight contest over Milton By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com Class 7A Parkview 16, Milton 7 Milton closed out it’s challenging non-region schedule with a battle of top10 ranked teams Friday night, but the Eagles wound up on the losing end to Parkview for the second straight year. Milton struck first with a touchdown run from Ahmad Junearick midway through the first quarter, but it proved to be the Eagles’ only score with their offense held to 165 total yards in the matchup. Parkview tied the game just before the half with a 38-yard touchdown pass. While Milton’s defense held the Panthers out of the end zone in the second half, Parkview hit field goals of 47, 43 and 21 yards to build a 16-7 lead. Their 21-yard field goal put the game at a two-score margin with four minutes remaining. Milton (2-3) has a bye before looking to defend their Region 5-AAAAAAA title. The Eagles open their region slate against West Forsyth Oct. 11. Roswell 28, Wheeler 0 Roswell downed Wheeler Friday night to close out its region schedule and earn some revenge over the Wildcats, who handed the Hornets their only regular season loss last year with a last-minute touchdown. Roswell’s shutout was its second of the season. The Hornets had two rushing touchdowns from Savion McCrary in the second and third quarter with Ethan Roberts putting Roswell up 28-0 in the fourth with a touchdown pass. Roswell’s defense held Wheeler scoreless for the first time since early in the 2017 season. Roswell (3-1) has a bye this week before beginning Region 4-AAAAAAA play Oct. 11 at Cherokee. The Hornets are the defending region champions. Hillgrove 42, South Forsyth 19 South Forsyth dropped its matchup with top-10 ranked Hillgrove at home Friday to fall to 3-2 overall entering Region 5-AAAAAAA play. Both of South’s losses this season have come against ranked teams. South and Hillgrove exchanged turnovers in the first quarter to keep the game scoreless before the War Eagles got on the board with a touchdown throw

from Joe Slot to Colby Cruz two minutes into the second. Both teams turned the ball over again, and a South fumble set up Hillgrove with a short field to tie the game. South looked to cut the margin just before the half with a field goal, but the Hawks blocked the attempt and returned it for a touchdown to take a twoscore lead into the half. Tre Green scored a rushing touchdown in the third to cut Hillgrove’s lead to 28-13, but Hillgrove scored in the final minute of the period and held on in the fourth to secure the win. The War Eagles will begin region play after a bye this week. South opens its region slate against Lambert Oct. 11. Class 6A Alpharetta 31, Dunwoody 17 Alpharetta improved to 2-0 in Region 7-AAAAAA play Friday night by downing Dunwoody at home. The Raiders have won all three matchups since the teams were placed in the region. Friday’s matchup was marred by almost 200 yards of penalties and a 30-minute electrical blackout. Alpharetta senior quarterback Will Gerdes threw for a score and ran for another. The Raiders’ defense repeatedly blitzed Wildcats quarterback Davis LeDoyen, forcing him into three interceptions. Alpharetta (2-2, 2-0) goes on the road Friday to take on Centennial, while Dunwoody (2-3, 1-2) hosts Pope at North Dekalb Stadium. North Atlanta 16, Cambridge 14 Cambridge fell to North Atlanta Friday night in a tight matchup that dropped the Bears to 1-2 in Region 7-AAAAAA play. Friday’s result marks the Bears’ second straight loss to the Warriors. Cambridge trailed 13-0 in the third quarter before a rushing score from Phillip Michael Collins cut the margin. After a North Atlanta field goal, Collins rushed for a touchdown from 28 yards out early in the fourth. The Bears took over again on offense looking for the go-ahead score, but a pass on a fourth-and-15 conversion fell incomplete and North Atlanta held on for the win. Cambridge (2-3, 1-2) will play for the fifth straight week Friday when they take on Chattahoochee on the road.

Pope 34, Chattahoochee 17 Chattahoochee fell to Pope Friday night, but perhaps more important is the condition of junior player Caleb Ashley who had to be carted off the field and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. Chattahoochee head coach Mike Malone tweeted just after midnight on Sept. 28 that Ashley would be heading home that night. The matchup was tied at 17 before Pope scored a touchdown late in the third to begin their string of 17 unanswered points to close out the game. The Cougars (1-4, 0-3) return home Friday to take on Cambridge. The teams have split their last two meetings. Johns Creek 42, Northview 28 Johns Creek extended its win streak to three games and remained undefeated in Region 7-AAAAAA by taking down crosstown rivals Northview on the road Friday night. The Gladiators improved to 5-1 all-time against Northview with the win. The Gladiators opened a 35-0 lead in the first half behind rushing scores from Tank Pritchett, Will Watson, a John Stegenga pick-six, and two touchdown passes from Ben Whitlock. Northview scored two unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter, a Marcus Godbey rush and Beau Lark passing score, before Whitlock and Garrett Gauthreaux connected for a 69-yard touchdown to put the sore at 42-14. Northview’s Lark had a rushing and passing score in the fourth quarter. Johns Creek (4-1, 3-0) has a bye next week before returning to region play against Pope Oct. 11. The Titans (3-2, 2-1) go on the road to face North Atlanta Friday night. Class 4A Blessed Trinity 38, West Hall 6 Defending Region 7-AAAA champs Blessed Trinity extended its region win streak to eight games Friday night with a 38-6 win over West Hall on the road. BT’s 38 points were the most in a game this season, and their defense had its best performance, score-wise, by allowing West Hall just six points. The Titans have won all four matchups with West Hall since the teams were placed into Region 7-AAAA in 2016. BT (4-1, 1-0) has a bye before taking

Denmark 58, Chestatee 0 Denmark kicked off its Region 7-AAAA slate Friday night by downing Chestatee at home to remain undefeated. Last year’s meeting between the two saw both teams put up big numbers, but Friday, it was only the Danes scoring, and they started early. Denmark scored 44 points in the first quarter behind two touchdowns from quarterback Aaron McLaughlin, a pick-six, field goal, rushing scores from Jordan Brunson and Zach Ogbogu and a blocked punt recovered in the end zone. McLaughlin threw a 92-yard touchdown pass to Ze’Vian Capers late in the

FELLOWSHIP CHRISTIAN 48, MT. PARAN 17

SPORTS

Paladins shut down Mt. Paran in Region 6-A heavyweight battle By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Fellowship Christian took the driver’s seat of the Region 6-A subregion B standings and remained undefeated (5-0, 3-0) Friday night with an impressive, 48-17 win over Mount Paran. Fellowship racked up 565 total offensive yards and held the Eagles’ talented offense to a touchdown in each half. “We have a special football team here,” Fellowship head coach Al Morrell said. “We played a senior-loaded Mt. Paran team with some great players, an outstanding quarterback, and our kids just played their hearts out. Offensively we executed and drove the ball all four quarters, and defensively we came up with some big stops after [the Eagles] opening drive. I couldn’t be more proud of this bunch.” The matchup has monumental impacts on the subregion B championship. The winner of the last three meetings between the teams has captured the subregion B title. Despite the lopsided score in favor

of Fellowship, the matchup got off to an inauspicious start for the Paladins. After Fellowship went three-and-out to open the game, Mt. Paran quarterback Niko Vangarelli ran the ball 78 yards on six straight plays, capped off by a 3-yard touchdown. Fellowship put together an impressive drive on their ensuing possession, but a Paladin fumble inside Mt. Paran’s 10-yard line was recovered by the Eagles. After the disappointing start, Fellowship bounced back and held the Eagles’ talented offense in check while their offense lit up the scoreboard. Senior Murphy Reeves and Jayven Hall led Fellowship’s rushing attack, with Reeves compiling 162 yards with a touchdown and Hall running for 161 yards with two scores. Josh Cole put Fellowship on the scoreboard midway through the first quarter with a 3-yard run, and Hall gave the Paladins the lead by busting off a 67-yard score early in the second. Fellowship’s defense stopped Mt. Paran inside the red zone on their ensuing possession and the field goal was missed, but the Eagles converted a 22-

yard field goal later in the period to cut the margin to 13-10. The Paladins responded immediately with Reeves taking a 75-yard run to the house late in the second quarter. Mt. Paran was set up with a short field to start the second half after Fellowship attempted an onside kick and were penalized for kick catch interference. Mt. Paran used a third and fourth-down conversion to drive to the 3-yard line, but Fellowship put up a goal line stance and forced a turnover on downs. The Paladins’ offense continued to roll on their next drive with quarterback Eli Hildebrandt connecting with Jordan Brewer for a 69-yard touchdown. Mt. Paran cut the lead to 27-17 midway through the third quarter on a wild play when Vangarelli hit an open receiver in the end zone with a pass as he was falling near the sidelines while scrambling. Vangarelli spent most of the second half on the run. Though Fellowship did not blitz consistently in the contest, the secondary’s tight coverage forced the quarterback out of the pocket throughout the night.

Recap: Continued from Page 28 second quarter. Denmark head coach Terry Crowder earned his 100th career win. Denmark (4-0, 1-0) goes on the road Friday to take on West Hall. Class A-Private Mount Pisgah 50, King’s Ridge 14 Mount Pisgah earned its first win of the season Friday night by taking down King’s Ridge in decisive fashion. The Patriots have won the last eight meetings between the two programs. The Patriots opened a 24-7 halftime lead behind a 58-yard rushing score from Tyler Hunnicut, a Nick Speros touchdown reception, Payton Broaddus field goal and a 40-yard touchdown pass from Coleman Smith to Garrett Sutherland. Smith added two more passing scores in the third quarter, and a Patriot rushing score put the margin at 44-7, allowing Mount Pisgah to cruise to the win in the final period. The Patriots (1-4, 1-2) will host Mount Paran Friday night. King’s Ridge (1-3, 0-2) will go on the road to face Whitefield Academy.

Mt. Paran’s speedy receiver Sebastian Moss was held to a single reception. “We had our work cut out for us, and the kids stepped up to the challenge,” Morrell said. After Mt. Paran’s score, Fellowship’s offense could not be stopped while their defense shut down the Eagles. Cole had a 54-yard touchdown late in the third quarter, and Hall and Hildebrandt each had short rushing scores in the fourth. Fellowship’s 565 total yards was their most in a game this season. The Paladins have scored 40 or more points in all five of their games this season. While Fellowship sits alone atop the subregion B standings, Morrell knows even a win over Mt. Paran has not earned the Paladins a title. “I think this shows the kids have a lot of confidence in each other and the plan, and they are a good football team,” he said. “We still have a lot of good football to play ahead, but this is certainly a step in the right direction.” The Paladins have a bye before continuing region play against St. Francis Oct. 11.

Walker 28, Pinecrest Academy 7 Pinecrest fell to 0-4 on the season Friday night, losing to Walker in Region 6-A subregion B play. Walker opened a 14-0 lead in the first quarter behind two rushing touchdowns, one set up a Pinecrest turnover. Walker added a score before West’s sole touchdown of the contest, a connection from quarterback Bryce Balthaser to Breckin Barbee, before the half. After three straight home games, the Paladins (0-4, 0-3) close out their non-region schedule Friday on the road against Mount de Sales. Whitefield Academy 20, St. Francis 17 (OT) St. Francis fell to 1-1 in Region 6-A play after a heartbreaking overtime loss to Whitefield Academy at home Friday night. The loss marks the Knights’ fourth straight to the WolfPack. St. Francis led 17-10 in the fourth quarter, but Whitefield knotted the contest with a touchdown with four minutes remaining. The Knights were on offense first to start the overtime period but failed to score. That allowed Whitefield to take the win with a 22-yard field goal. St. Francis (2-2, 1-1) goes on the road Friday to face Walker.

SPORTS

Raiders top Titans in clash of two of state’s top volleyball teams By ZACH SHUGAN news@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — ALPHARETTA, Ga. — In a non-region battle between two of the top volleyball teams in the state, Alpharetta defeated Blessed Trinity in three sets Sept. 26. Alpharetta (32-2) entered the match sporting a No. 24 national ranking by MaxPreps to take on the perennial powerhouse Titans, who have compiled four state championships and two state runner-up finishes the last seven seasons. Though Blessed Trinity took the first set, 25-16, Alpharetta won a dramatic second set and dominated the decisive third. Despite dropping the first set, Alpharetta jumped out to a 14-6 lead, but following a BT timeout, the Titans stormed back with a 11-1 run to tie

the set at 17. The teams went back and forth until another timeout was called with the score tied up, 24-24. After a quick break, the Raiders took the next two points to win the second set 26-24, and force a third. “We had a slow start,” said Alpharetta head coach Grace Fossier. “BT was phenomenal and came out strong. The end was great. We rallied and played.” Alpharetta continued its hot play into the third set, dominating Blessed Trinity by a score of 15-6 to win the set and the match. “[Blessed Trinity] battled,” Fossier said. “They’re such good defenders. They’re an incredible team. You can’t just kind of play. You have to play the whole time and play all the way through.” Fossier acknowledged the team has a lot of pressure to perform well. Even

OPINION

Who:

from Page 24

As we barreled down I-95 toward Miami Beach with the player’s tunes blasting “We’re not going to take it,” I couldn’t help but smile and shake my head at what I had just witnessed. The kid was the absolute end of the food chain. The pecking order had reached the end of the line, and the kid — the grease monkey who had been building and taking engines apart since he was probably 6, the one, the closer, the guy the coach nods to at the bottom of the ninth with bases loaded and ahead by one — got the call and delivered. We made it to the coliseum while the warm-up band was still playing. Then, we watched The Who perform every song off “Live a Leeds,” all of “Who’s Next” and all of “Tommy.” “We’re not going to take it.” “Nobody knows what it’s like to be the sad man, to be the bad man, behind blue eyes.” We watched Keith Moon fall off his drum stool, backwards. Loon-Moon they called him. He lit up every stage he ever played on. Roger Daltry threw that microphone around and whirled it over and over through the air as he belted out “ain’t no cure for the summertime blues.” And Pete Townshend wound up like a straight-armed pitcher and whirled his arms at his guitar over and over, as cords crashed through everything that was in their way. The band didn’t just play. They raged and we watched. Then they lay us down. “See me, Feel me, touch me, Feel me. “Listening to you I get the music, Gazing at you I get the heat, Following you, I climb the mountain….” That was 49 years ago. Last night, I watched 76 year old Townsend do it again. Nothing had changed. Same rage. Same threat. Same madness. Same rebel. Same angry guitar. Same promise.
