MILTON, Ga. — Milton police were dispatched to an assault report along Dunbrody Drive on Sept. 23. Officers arrived to find 60-year-old Timothy Ramsey writhing in pain on his hands and knees inside his home.

Ramsey told police he had a fight with his next-door neighbor during which his neighbor body slammed him on the sidewalk. According to an arrest report, the fight started when the neighbor’s daughter parked her car in front of Ramsey’s mailbox. Ramsey and his wife told officers it was part of an ongoing issue they’d been having with the neighbor.

The wife said she asked the family to move the car so their mail carrier could access their mailbox. But one of the residents, a 48-year-old man, allegedly became argumentative, telling her “we can park wherever we want,” the police report stated.

Ramsey then went outside and began arguing with that man, who picked him up “all of a sudden” and slammed him to the ground, Ramsey’s wife told officers. She said she ran back into her home to call 911 at that point. Ramsey was

Man claims surveillance from unnamed cartel MILTON, Ga. — A motorist flagged down a Milton police officer Sept. 23 and said he believed he was being tracked by a cartel.

The 39-year-old Cumming man said he worried the cartel had tapped his computer and cell phone and were surveilling him. The man said he had reported his concerns to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office on Sept. 22 but was not contacted by an investigator, according to a Milton police report.

An officer described the man as very jittery and paranoid. The man admitted to the officer that he’d done cocaine within the past 24 hours and he occasionally uses the drug.

The report indicated there were no signs the man was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. But after finding a AR-15 type rifle in the man’s pickup truck, the officer became uncomfortable with the man driving and had him call his girlfriend to pick him up.

rushed to North Fulton Hospital where he was treated for a rib contusion, the report stated.

Police questioned Ramsey’s neighbor who claimed it was Ramsey who provoked the physical altercation by getting in his face and insulting him then pushing him repeatedly. He said after he slammed Ramsey to the ground, Ramsey went back to his residence to retrieve a handgun then came back outside making threats. The man’s children provided police with cell phone video, which showed Ramsey initiating the fight, then brandishing a handgun as he shouted profanitylaced threats to shoot his neighbor if he saw him on his property, the report stated. Police noted Ramsey showed no signs of injury after he was body slammed on the video.

After Ramsey was discharged from the hospital Sept. 24, police arrested him and charged him with simple assault, simple battery and terroristic threats and acts, according to his arrest report. Ramsey was released from the Fulton County jail Sept. 25 on $14,000 bond, booking records show.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

We would be missing a lot without human interaction Ray Appen’s Oct. 1 opinion piece provided fuel for a discussion with my bride, Aleda.

(Actually, she told me to read the article and let’s talk about it!)

After I read the piece, we did have a discussion and concluded that what you wrote makes sense. We think a lot of brick and mortar traditional institutions are in for seismic changes.

For instance, my neighbor is an HR director for a large global company. We were having a socially distanced Friday cocktail hour on the deck a couple of weeks ago, and I inquired as to when she would be going back to the office. She responded that she might not. She further stated she can hire and fire people over the phone or through a Zoom call!

If we can garner academic credentials online, why do we need to head off to a campus and incur all the expenses that are attendant with it? Today’s hip and cool crowd would probably not.

Our fear is that we will be missing out on the person-to-person contact that the office space and the classrooms afford us and that goes against the very nature of our

We think a lot of brick and mortar traditional institutions are in for seismic changes. species. We are, as humans, a social bunch that crave contact with each other and learn from social interaction. It’s really hard to read body language and nuanced facial expressions from a smart phone screen.

On a personal note, I met my bride at the office years ago!

What we have decided to do with the article is to preserve it, and every New Year’s day trot it out and re-read it before the collard greens and blackeyed peas traditional dinner.

Your article will become a way to annually measure the predicted changes against a constant — collard greens and black-eyed peas.

I know those aren’t changing!

Milton cuts ribbon on Public Safety Complex

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton’s new Public Safety Complex has been operating for a few weeks now, but the city’s newest facility received the pomp and circumstance of a grand opening Oct. 1. Officials with the city hailed the new facility and Fire Department staff held a ceremonial uncoupling of fire hoses to celebrate Milton’s new Municipal Court, police headquarters and Fire Station 44 along Ga. 9.

“This opening is a major milestone for our city,” Mayor Joe Lockwood said.

“We’ve waited 14 years. This isn’t just a police headquarters or fire station, it is our police headquarters and fire station.”

Lockwood said no person deserves more praise for the complex than City Architect Bob Buscemi, who also designed City Hall.

“These aren’t just new buildings, they are designed to service the Milton community and our first responders for many years to come,” Buscemi said. “We remember their needs, wants, missions every step of the way. Most of them kept looking at me saying, ‘Bob, we’ve been waiting 10 years for this building, so please do everything right, we want to do it right.’ I really

Milton Judge Brian Hansford and Police Chief Rich Austin both expressed their gratitude for the city’s new purpose-built court and police hub.

“Nothing against our old home on Deerfield Parkway, it was a good home and it served its purpose, but the new courtroom actually feels like a courtroom and is the envy of many lawyers and judges who have visited it thus far,” Hansford said.

“One thing that we have needed quite

some time is a state-of-the-art facility that reflects the professional police services that we strive to provide our citizens each and every day,” Austin said.

Milton’s police chief also underscored the significance of having a prominent headquarters.

“One of the important differences about this facility is its location is the visibility that it provides,” he said. “A police station is a vital part of a community, and it should be highly visible to

its citizens. It stands as a reminder there are guardians of this great community that are on watch 24/7. It’s also more evident of the desire that we have to partner with our community in a space that we can all call home.”

Austin also heralded the new facility for its “Milton-esque” appearance while providing added amenities, like an armory, evidence room and emergency management room.

That sentiment was shared by Fire Chief Robert Edgar who said Fire Station 44 has all his department needs “and then some.”

“It almost takes me back to want to work 24-hour shifts, but maybe not,” Edgar joked.

“It’s all about moving forward…and I’m happy about the direction Milton Fire and Rescue Department is heading. I’m proud of everything we have done together as a department and as a city,” Edgar said.

Following the reconstruction of Fire Station 42 on Thompson Road, which is set to be completed next year, all Milton first responders and staff will work out of city-owned buildings.

The city broke ground on the Public Safety Complex last June. The $13 million project was completed on time and on budget.

attract buyers from the region. They could also foster a sense of community among residents and make Milton a destination for those wanting a night on the town.

Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic brought those plans to a screeching halt.

While the city did host a kickoff event for Meet Me in Milton last October, plans for a cornhole tournament, chili cookoff, UGA tailgate party and other events originally slated for around this time of year were all nixed.

However, the city has decided to forge ahead and will host a movie on the Green in downtown Crabapple, adjacent to Crabapple Market and City Hall, Oct. 17.

Live music from student musicians Bach to Rock will kick off the evening at 5 p.m. with a screening of the Jack Black film “School of Rock” at dusk. Food and drink vendors will also be on site.

“Movies on the Green have been successful for Crabapple Market, with no negative feedback of having gatherings on the Green,” said Milton Economic Development Director Sarah LaDart. “We thought it would be something the community was open to and a great way to at least have an event for Meet Me in Milton.”

Because the program was never truly established, LaDart said one reason for the movie screening is to keep the Meet Me in Milton “brand” alive.

Though the event will bring people together amid the coronavirus pandemic, LaDart said the city will encourage ways to continue social distancing.

“The thought is people will come with a blanket and sit together as a family unit,” she said. “We are also encouraging people to order meals in advance…instead of standing in long lines and congregating. We are trying to make it an event where people are still a little bit apart from one another.”

While Milton has hosted a modest number of outdoor gatherings since the onset of the pandemic, its slate of annual events has been slashed. In February, organizers of the Rock for Rescues festival, which Milton hosted in 2018 and 2019, announced they were moving the benefit event to Woodstock.

Milton’s largest annual event, Crabapple Fest, was originally scheduled for Oct. 3 but has been deferred until next spring.

The city does still plan to hold its annual Carvin’ in Crabapple event Oct. 25 at the Broadwell Pavilion in downtown Crabapple.

New tree ordinance requires residents to maintain canopy

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Following years of input, planning, drafting, pruning and overhauling, Milton adopted its new tree ordinance in August.

While the updates will have a greater impact on developers, the ordinance changes do have implications for homeowners.

Milton held an information session Sept. 30 with City Arborist Sandra DeWitt outlining what residents should know about the new regulations.

When a tree removal permit is required Trees above a designated size, dependent on the species, require a permit to be cut down. Size is determined by the diameter of a tree 4.5 feet above the ground, otherwise known as diameter at breast height (DBH). Any tree with a DBH of 15 inches or more requires a permit to be removed. For smaller specimens, such as dogwoods or redbuds, a permit is required to cut down any tree with a DBH over 8 inches.

A permit is also required to remove any trees in stream buffer. Milton requires a 25-foot buffer in addition to the state’s 25-foot requirement.

DeWitt said residents who are not

certain whether they have a stream buffer on their property can call the city and they will be connected with the correct person to inform them if they do or do not have a buffer requirement.

“We do allow dead trees or dying trees to be removed from the stream buffer when necessary, but we’ll usually give you some requirements that it has to be removed with no heavy equipment and no disturbance to the ground,” DeWitt said.

A permit is also required for removing trees on any zoning buffers between properties.

The permit process Residents can either pick up a tree removal permit from City Hall or find it on the city’s website.

The two-page form requires information including the property address, a sketch drawing of the property and a list of trees to be removed.

DeWitt said the sketch should be a simple drawing outlining where the home, driveway and trees to be removed are located. The list of trees should include the size and species.

“If you do not know the species, don’t fret too much about that,” she said. “You can always just at least give me an idea of if it’s a hardwood or a pine or an evergreen or something like that. Just the best description you can of the species if you are not 100 percent sure.”

The permit request also includes information on the tree removal company that will be used, but DeWitt said homeowners who are still shopping around can check a “TBD” box on the application.

There is a $25 permit application charge to remove a healthy tree with the maximum cost set at $150. There is no fee for cutting down dead or dying trees.

Residents should allow up to 10 days for the review of their application. If a permit is approved, homeowners will receive an email from the city arborist and from a permit technician with the permit and an invoice of cost, if required.

DeWitt said residents should have

the permit on-site when trees are being cut down.

The next steps Under the new ordinance, residential properties must maintain a set amount of tree canopy coverage. That figure is determined by the amount of total canopy coverage on a property when all trees are fully mature.

DeWitt said through the application process, the city will determine if a homeowner must replant trees for recompense for removing specimens, determined on by the property’s zoning category.

If replacement is required, a list of permissible trees to be planted and their canopy size, along with the necessary additional coverage needed, will be sent to residents. DeWitt used the example of a homeowner being required to replace 900-square feet of canopy coverage. A red maple is credited with 900-square feet of area, so the homeowner could plant one red maple to reach the requirement.

Residents will have up to one year to replace trees when necessary. Once planting is complete, they will need to send a photo of the new tree to the city arborist.

The full tree ordinance presentation can be viewed on the city’s website or its Facebook page.

OPINION

One full page ad for one house, plus mysterious links My main takeaway from my hike on the trail was the understanding that no matter what the circumstance, “the trail always provides and that there is a reason for everything.”

The trail is a giant RAY APPEN metaphor for life.

Publisher Emeritus Another lesson I ray@appenmediagroup.com have learned over the years is that we’re all connected — usually far more than we realize.

In 1990, I moved my family from St. Louis to Alpharetta after we purchased a local, twice-per-month newspaper called The ReVue from Melonee Bates who had started the paper in 1983. I recall my first trip to Alpharetta to meet with Melonee and to “look over” the Alpharetta market. I liked what I saw — lots of car dealerships and a number of comfortable looking subdivisions.

“We can do this,” I thought. “Automotive” was one of the primary advertising categories in newspapers at that time, as was real estate.

We leased a house on a farm “way out” on Hopewell Road. A woman named Dot Benson owned the farm. The house ended up not working out for us, so we decided to look for something to buy.

The problem was that at that point we

had spent most of the money we had made from selling our house in Miami to purchase the paper and only had about $3,000 left in savings. We had two children under 2 years old and were living in a farm house that, well, let’s just say that farms attract critters and leave it at that. Staying there was not an option.

“No worries” we thought. We just need to find a house with an assumable loan where the owner will take $3,000 or less down and also pay the closing costs. (Were we really that naive?)

Fast forward and we spot a for sale by owner sign in front of a nice house on a cul du sac. I told Christina that I would keep the kids in the car and she could see if the owners would let her look at the house. They did, and she came out about 20 minutes later.

“I like it,” she said, and the owners said they would work with us — and that there was an assumable VA loan! “Then let’s buy it,” was my response.

A short time later we bought the house and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the house was when I saw the inside for the first time.

Fast forward about five years and we have survived a recession, are still in business, and happy — but tired — and now with three children. As the only salesperson at the paper, I was managing to sell a fair amount of auto and real

estate, especially with Northside Realty.

One morning, I happen to run into an agent for Northside somewhere in town — Brenda Shamel — and tell her that if she would spend just a little bit more money that surely it would boost her listings and she would sell more real estate.

Brenda was no slouch.

“I’ll tell you what Ray,” she said jokingly, “If you’ll buy this house I have just listed, I’ll buy a full page.”

Now, I’m no slouch either, so I followed Brenda to the house off of Milton Avenue. It was run down but had great bones. The house sat on a wooded acre, and in the back was this great big inground pool just off a deck. I grew up with a pool and loved to grow things.

“How much do they want for it Brenda?” I asked. She replied, $135,000.

I told her we’d take it.

Fast forward another 25 years. Christina and I are still publishing. Our children are adults, and our oldest, Hans, is now running our newspapers, with the help of his brother Carl. Hans now too has three children, 5 and younger.

This week Hans sold the house that he and his family have lived in almost 10 years and bought our house. We have moved to a lovely townhome just a couple blocks away.

Hans’ children will now grow up in the house that Hans grew up in. His son will be in the same bedroom that Hans

slept in. The house that Brenda Shamel sold us that Hans is going to live in was built in 1963 by Ralph Kirby who started the first theater in Alpharetta and the bank. Ralph’s son Bob, who became a local attorney, slept in the same bedroom that Hans slept in. Long before we bought our house from Brenda, we had retained Bob Kirby to be legal counsel for our newspapers, and he represented us until he died. We still get a fair amount of real estate advertising in our newspapers even 30 years after we bought The ReVue. I mentioned recently in one of my columns that if you listen hard enough and are patient, a path forward will almost always be found. Believe this: You must have faith. Nothing, I have come to believe, in life is random. There is a plan. We’re all linked together somewhere, some way. Know this.

Remember this now — especially now — because today we all collectively and individually desperately need a path forward out of this divide and out of this place we find ourselves that is so toxic and that has led us away from who we are and, OK, made us simply forget to “love thy neighbor as they self.”

We need to remember that there are some things in life more important than party, politics, or money — far more important.

We’ve got to get back to where we belong.

Next week I’ll write about what Christina and I are going to do about a house for us…

More organizations and institutions are advocating for equity, diversity and inclusion ... But it’s just so sad that we have to fight for things that are so obvious.

RUOMENG CUI, Emory professor 8 | Milton Herald | October 8, 2020

Women stand on frontline of battle-weary workforce Workers pay dearly during time of crisis

By TIFFANY GRIFFITH newsroom@appenmediagroup.com NORTH ATLANTA, Ga. — The coronavirus has killed more than 7,000 Georgians. Many patients have taken their last breath at hospitals, without loved ones nearby. But when a healthcare professional was by their side, it’s likely that worker was a woman.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, women hold 76 percent of all health care jobs. Females also hold 77 percent of social work positions, two-thirds of grocery store and fast-food jobs, and 52-percent of roles deemed essential.

The weight of the global pandemic is on their backs.

Among the women on the frontline is Darice Stein, a clinical development specialist with Northside Hospital Forsyth.

Stein said she has worn many hats since the coronavirus emerged and rapidly changed life in the intensive care unit.

Information flooded in and seemed to evolve by the minute.

“It was priority number one to ensure our staff caring for patients were safe, with proper personal protective equipment and education to arm them,” Stein said. “All the while caring for a new population of patients with a pandemic that had a disease course that is so unique and would change or decline so rapidly.”

As quickly as the virus moved, Stein

said the patient population rose just as fast.

“While other departments closed, we in the ICU and the general hospital were planning for the influx of more COVID-19 patients with preparations of increasing staffing, expanding into other floors, opening a secondary ICU to offer and staff more critical care beds,” Stein said. “Not only were our patients and families frightened, but you could also feel our staff’s anxiety.”

She said, despite their fears, the ICU staff at Northside Hospital Forsyth continued to push through, pull together, and give great care to their patients and each other.

“I am not sure I can articulate how proud I am of the ICU staff and Northside as an organization,” Stein said. “We have had our disappointments along the way, but we have also celebrated so many victories with patients since the pandemic became our new normal.”

Fatalities in the field Some in the medical field made the ultimate sacrifice while working during a pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 733 American healthcare workers have died from coronavirus as of Oct. 1. But a just released report by National Nurses United claims more than 1,700 healthcare workers have died from COVID-19. Amnesty International reports more than 7,000 have died globally.

Among those fallen professionals was

Darice Stein works as a clinical development specialist at Northside Hospital Forsyth.

42-year-old Diedre Wilkes, a mammogram technician at Piedmont Newnan hospital.

Wilkes’ body was found at her home in March while her young child was nearby.

Emory Professor Ruomeng Cui said history is repeating itself.

“The last time we saw that was the Spanish Flu. The exact same phenomenon,” Cui said. “Nurses, they were women, who suffered more every time during crisis. More women were dying.

More women were on the frontline.”

By August, the White House declared educators among essential workers. Cui released a study the month before that detailed the damage COVID-19 had done to productivity among female academics.

“What we found, in just 10 weeks after the lockdown, although the total research productivity increased by about 35-percent, female academics’ productivity actually dropped by as much as 18-percent relative to that of male academics,” she said.

The study began in May, two months after lockdowns began. It looked at multiple

Trouble on the home front Cui was inspired to conduct this study after witnessing her homebound female colleagues distracted by household and family responsibilities during meetings, but not her male colleagues.

She said women falling behind in academia is dangerous.

“Female faculties might be innovative in certain areas or aspects,” Cui said. “If their potential, their talents are limited, that will definitely be harmful for the society in terms of pushing out innovative ideas and work.”

The disparities continue on the frontline when it comes to compensation, as well. That’s according to the National Women’s Law Center. Their research shows female grocery store workers earn an average of $3,000 less annually than their male counterparts. Female registered nurses earn an average of $65,000 annually, while their male counterparts earn $71,000. There are similar wage gaps for childcare workers, home health and personal care aides.

To take some of the burden off female frontline and essential workers, Cui said things need to change. She said domestic responsibilities must be divided, and employers should offer childcare support, parental leave, evaluation adjustments and better compensation.

Cui said a lot of work remains on the home front and in the workplace. But, she is seeing improvements.

“People care more and more,” she said. “More organizations and institutions are advocating for equity, diversity and inclusion. I think that’s really a good message. But it’s just so sad that we have to fight for things that are so obvious.”

Cleanliness of schools an issue as students return

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton Schools officials are defending the cleaning process in schools despite reports from teachers who have expressed their concerns publicly and privately.

A group of teachers at Riverwood Charter School in Sandy Springs staged a walkout last month to call attention to the issue. Teachers at other schools have commented privately they don’t think adequate safeguards are in place to guarantee safety.

One elementary school teacher notified the Herald that some teachers, fearful of going public, have taken to private online platforms where clean schools and teaching challenges have become a focal point for discussion. She said she has alerted officials about issues in her own classroom but has received no action.

Schools Superintendent James Looney has scolded teachers for demonstrating through walkouts, saying it distracts from the education process everyone is working hard to implement.

The district defends its cleaning protocols.

“The two-step process of areas being cleaned frequently throughout the day

and disinfected after students leave will greatly assist us in our continued efforts to provide our students and staff with a clean, safe and healthy environment,” said Brian Noyes, chief communications officer for the Fulton School System.

Noyes said he was not aware of any cleaning issues directly reported by staff in area schools.

The district is gradually returning more students to classrooms which requires teachers “simultaneous teach” both virtual and in-person students in their classrooms.

Although teachers have been in schools since August, students began returning in small numbers in September. Full face-toface instruction is set to begin Oct. 14.

From Sept. 14 -27 when students began returning to schools in greater numbers, the district reported 36 positive COVID-19 cases among students and staff. Exposure to positive individuals mandated 14-day quarantines for an additional 83 students and staff.

In the first month of school, 64 of the district’s 6,900 teachers either resigned or retired. That is significantly higher than the 39 separations that occurred in the first month last school year.

Chief Talent Officer Ron Wade said this year’s losses did not cause a “crisis”

because Fulton Schools also had a significant drop in student enrollment from projected numbers. About 61 positions remain vacant, primarily in special education which is historically harder to staff.

To alleviate staff and parents’ concerns, the district developed a safety plan with the goal of getting teachers and kids back into schools as safely as possible.

Noyes said the district followed CDC guidelines as those plans were developed. The plan includes frequent cleaning and daily disinfection of “high touch” surfaces using products approved safe for people and the environment.

He noted teachers and staff play a key role in keeping their spaces clean and are provided products to help them.

“Custodians will disinfect many common areas during the day, but most disinfection will be done at night,” Noyes said. “Teachers and staff are provided with a general cleaner and microfiber cloths to clean with frequently throughout the day.”

One teacher confirmed she had been given a bottle of spray cleaner and cloths, but her room has not been swept since school started. Some teachers, she noted, have started bringing their own products from home, primarily cleaning wipes, to fill the gaps.

Cleaning protocol The Fulton County School System uses the disinfectant, Halt, a hospital-grade disinfectant which is certified by the EPA for “Use Against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).” Custodial teams are disinfecting areas when students are not present because disinfectants are not recommended for use by or around children.

Personal protective equipment, such as gloves, must be worn while using disinfectants. Custodians are trained on the proper use of the product. This process supplements the cleaning of “high touch” surfaces that teachers and staff provide during the day. The cleaner surfaces enable custodial teams to disinfect areas more quickly and effectively.

Noyes maintains the schools are cleaner than they’ve ever been with the combination of cleaning and disinfection.

“Studies show that microfiber cloths can remove up to 98 percent of bacteria and 93 percent of viruses from surfaces with just water alone,” Noyes said. “So, with the combination of using a peroxidebased cleaner and microfiber cloths, we are doing more to remove germs, dirt and impurities than we have in the past.”

Healthy Halloween: Celebrating safely during a pandemic

By DANNY BRANSTETTER medical director of Infection Prevention, Wellstar Health System Millions of people in the U.S. and around the globe, including children of all ages, look forward to the festivities of Halloween. But – lest we forget – we are still in the midst of a global pandemic, which means doing things differently. How can we celebrate safely, keeping our families, friends, and neighbors safe from community spread of COVID-19, which is so important to everyone’s health and well-being? Based on the CDC guidelines, Wellstar offers our top six tips for a healthy Halloween celebration. Simply think “GHOSTS.”

G GRAB-N-GO treats: Putting out a bowl for all the neighbors’ kids to dig their hands in is not advised, since children can carry the virus and share it widely with others this way. Lining candies up along the driveway or along a fence “Grab-n-Go” style means kids can pick up a treat while minimizing viral spread. Get creative and think about safety!

H HAVE FUN with costumes and celebrate HEALTHCARE HEROES: Masks are highly recommended to help minimize the spread of the virus, so have fun with incorporating them into costumes. Let kids use fabric paint, glued-on sequins, or stickers to decorate a mask to match. Kids two and older are advised to wear a mask. Even better – suggest that kids dress up as a “Healthcare Hero” – a doctor, nurse, or first responder, for example – to honor all the work of frontline caregivers during the pandemic. Share photos on social media with the hashtag #HalloweenHealthcareHero.

O OUTSIDE is the best place to celebrate: Weather and health permitting, being outside can promote air flow and help minimize close contact with others. If you have people coming to your home for Halloween, consider sitting outside while kids “Grabn-Go” treats you have spaced out for them. For those celebrating, just because you are outdoors does not mean you should relax mask-wearing, short interaction times, and social distancing.

S SANITIZE often and well: Just like the Wellstar Safety Kid Rap says, “Don’t forget to keep it clean and sanitize.” Take wipes and sanitizer to use frequently while trick-or-treating with kids and guide them on the safety measures that will help keep everyone COVID-free. If kids are visiting your home for “Grab-nGo” treats, keep your hand sanitizer handy, too.

T TECHNOLOGY can help connect: If you have a household with immuno-compromised members, think about a Zoom pumpkin-carving contest, costume fashion show, or online mask-decorating party. There are so many ways that video conferencing solutions can help people connect and have fun, while staying safe.

S STAY AT HOME if you don’t feel well or if you have been exposed to COVID: We want everyone to have fun this Halloween, but we also want everyone to stay safe and well, and stop the spread of COVID-19. If you feel unwell, use technology to connect with friends, family, and neighbors, but stay home so you can get better and not contribute to community spread of the virus. The sooner we can stop the spread, the sooner we will be able to safely gather and celebrate holidays.

No matter how you choose to celebrate Halloween and the autumn season with fun activities during the pandemic, be sure and refer to the CDC Guidelines for specific guidance on how to stay safe and well.

IN STOCK: Compliant State Law COVID-19 Signs Gov. Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 359, a bill intended to protect small businesses, healthcare providers, religious and education organizations, government offices and volunteer organizations and other organizations from civil liability related to the spread of COVID-19.

Businesses can help protect themselves by posting a sign at the point of entry saying that the customer or client assumes the risk by entering.

BEST DERMATOLOGIST

An interview with Dr. Taylor Brought to you by — Alyssa McNamara Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Congratulations to Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta for its third year in a DR. TAYLOR row of being voted Best Dermatologist and Best Vein Specialist of North Fulton! I decided to sit down with Dr. Brent Taylor and physician assistant Kathryn Filipek at Premier Dermatology to get their take on their success and to learn a bit more about them.

Alyssa: Hey you two! So nice to see you guys again! I’ve previously had the pleasure of speaking with you both separately regarding Premier Dermatology and your particular contributions to the practice, but I wanted to take time to sit down with you both to hear your thoughts on your continued success. Dr. Taylor, congratulations on another win for Best of North Fulton 2020! This marks your 3rd year being named both Best Dermatologist and Best Vein Specialist in North Fulton since opening in 2017. That’s quite an accomplishment. To what do you attribute your continued success?

Dr. Taylor: Thank you Alyssa! Well, as I’ve said in the past, I believe that my patients understand our sincerity and our dedication to our patients’ healthcare.

Kathryn and I and our amazing team all honestly care about our patients and their well-being. I hope that that sincerity comes through during our interactions.

We always strive to give our patients our complete attention and to learn more about an individual as a person as well as a patient. There are plenty of times when a patient brings something to our attention or compels us to do additional research, and Kathryn and I are constantly collaborating on our patients’ behalf. I believe that comes through. All of that, and my awesome dad jokes are a big hit. I’m a father of three boys ages seven, five and two, so I have plenty of time to practice my material.

Kathryn: I agree with everything that Dr. Taylor said, especially how nice the patients are to laugh at his jokes. Our team really is wonderful. We have experienced and caring team members. And we have received a lot of compliments that the practice has a personal and “boutique” feel, even as we deliver care that is scientific and academic.

Alyssa: Kathryn and Dr. Taylor, how is everything going in this odd Covid time?

I believe Kathryn joined the practice in March? I bet that was an interesting time to expand?

Dr. Taylor: We are beyond grateful for the addition of Kathryn! She really is a fantastic provider and is knowledgeable and experienced in dermatology.

Most importantly, our skillsets really complement one another. For example, my focus in the vein clinic portion of our practice has been on treating venous disease that results in leg swelling and pain, and Kathryn has years of experience performing aesthetically-focused cosmetic sclerotherapy. She brought PRP for hair rejuvenation to the practice as well as chemical peels and is an expert Botox® and filler injector. The addition of another provider also means that we are frequently able to accommodate patients for same day or next day appointments. Covid was inconvenient but the slowdown also allowed us to make sure Kathryn’s integration to the practice was seamless.

Alyssa: Well I think that’s enough serious business for now. I thought we could ask a few casual questions to allow your readers get to know you both a little better.

Who is someone you look up to?

Brent: My dad. Sounds cliché’ but it’s true. My dad is just such a wonderful man. He’s kind and patient and incredibly intelligent. He has worked extremely hard to accomplish everything he has in life and really instilled in me a strong work ethic and a compassionate heart. I am beyond fortunate for my family.

Kathryn: My Grandmother. She grew up on a dairy farm on Prince Edward Island, Canada, and taught school in a one room schoolhouse until she went to nursing school in Ontario in her 20’s. She didn’t marry my Grandfather until her late 20’s, had her children in her 30’s and worked as a nurse in Detroit until her 70’s. She always had a positive outlook on life and a laugh that would turn into a “hissing fit” because of her asthma, which made all around her giggle.

If you could immediately become fluent in something, what would it be?

Brent: Italian. Feeling like a local in a foreign country has to be fun, and I think Italy tops my list.

Kathryn: Spanish. I was able to apply a lot of my “Splanglish” while living in South Florida, but Dr. Taylor puts me to shame when he is able to communicate fluently, and I only understand a portion of what he or my patients are saying.

If you or a loved one are looking for exception dermatologic or vein care, please consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta for your skin care needs.

And thank you to all of our amazing patients who voted us Best Dermatologist and Best Vein Specialist of North Fulton! premierdermatologyatlanta.com

Management will also help with therapy homework, to ensure a speedier recovery.

Ga. 400 continues to draw interest from tech firms

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — Financial services company Deluxe Corporation is boosting the resume of the Ga. 400 corridor, adding another technology operation to list of close to 1,000 others that line the stretch.

Deluxe, which has in the past specialized in tech printing services, looks to bring in some 700 high tech jobs to a new innovation and technology center in Sandy Springs.

The city agreed to waive as much as $255,000 in permit and business license fees depending on the length of the company’s office lease.

Deluxe President and CEO Barry C. McCarthy said the Perimeter area, especially along Ga. 400, distinguished itself among close to a dozen finalists for locating the office.

“We did a pretty exhaustive national search about where we would want to place our innovation and technology centers, and Georgia came high on the list,” McCarthy said. “It’s already one of the major fintech capitals of the world.

The engagement of the technology community is pretty profound.”

He said the state has distinguished itself for its commitment to building a

tech workforce, important to a company like Deluxe that is transforming from business services to becoming a trusted business technology company. “[It’s] for those reasons, plus the others, close by the airport, great quality of life overall, temperate climate, affordability and all the lifestyle things that the state talks about, from the North Georgia mountains to the golden isles on the Atlantic coast,” McCarthy said.

The corridor’s reputation for attracting Fortune 1,000 companies, like Mercedes Benz, State Farm and Continental Hotel Group, also was a factor.

“We knew that meant that in the area, there would be great amenities, and obviously, if you travel the area, you can see the incredible amenities with the Perimeter Mall and all the other things that are there, plus the availability of MARTA and public transit made the area really appealing,” McCarthy said.

Another key factor in the site location, McCarthy said, is the building itself, which sits just off Ga. 400 at the Glenridge exit.

“Access is phenomenal — easy, easy, easy for our employee population,” McCarthy said.

Recruiting has already begun, but over the next few years, he said the company will continue to build its workforce

to full capacity, focusing on product management, product development, application development, technology of all types, artificial intelligence, team learning, data analytics, cloud-based services and web design.

The company is targeting candidates from across the metro area, but especially those concentrated near the Ga. 400 and I-285 corridors, he said.

The city’s financial incentives were also important, not necessarily for the tax and fee saving, but for the message it sent, he said.

“It’s always helpful to see that in a community, even if the incentives aren’t massive,” McCarthy said. “It’s a huge measure about a community’s interest in having a company like ours… Beyond the incentives, the incredible warm welcome and support the city government has given us in the decision process also gave us [is] hugely important to us as a company trying to expand in the geography.”

McCarthy said he hopes to return the favor by providing value to the community.

“We are a purpose and values-driven company,” he said. “We are champions for business, so communities thrive. And, we really mean that…We fundamentally believe that business is

at the heart of what makes a community go.”

Katie Kirkpatrick, president and CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce said McCarthy has been an integral force in metro Atlanta’s financial technology community for years.

“The decision to locate Deluxe’s new FinTech and Customer Innovation Center and office complex here demonstrates Barry’s commitment to our region and highlights our continued reputation as a fintech leader,” she Solution said.

WEEK 5 FOOTBALL RECAP

Cambridge falls to Creekview in region opener Milton falls

By ZACH SHUGAN zach@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Football returned to Cambridge High School for the first time in nearly 11 months Friday night with the Bears taking on Creekview in their region opening game. Though the teams were deadlocked for two quarters, Creekview left victorious and handed Cambridge (1-2) its second consecutive loss.

“We found out a lot about ourselves,” Cambridge head coach Craig Bennett said. “The kids fought hard.

I’m proud of that. [Creekview] is a good football team. I think we grew up tonight, though. We grew up a good bit.”

The Bears and Grizzlies entered halftime with a tied, scoreless game after the defenses for both teams came out swinging.

Cambridge’s defense came up with several significant plays in the first half.

On Creekview’s opening drive, the Grizzlies marched down to the Bears’ 5-yard line. On fourth-and-goal from the 5, the Grizzlies decided to go for a touchdown, but the Bears held.

Creekview’s pass attempt fell incom-

plete, and Cambridge took over on offense deep in its own territory.

Though the Bears were forced to punt on their ensuing drive, the defense was ready for another challenge.

Creekview started with the ball at its own 31-yard line and drove to Cambridge’s 13. Once again, the Grizzlies were presented with a fourth-down situation inside the Bears’ red zone.

Again, the Bears’ defense held, forcing a turnover on downs.

Late in the half, Cambridge senior defensive back Graham Browning tipped a Creekview pass and fellow senior Ryan Counts reeled in the interception.

“I’m so proud of [the defense]. You don’t even understand,” Bennett said.

“Those kids have been with me for a long time. I coached the defense last year, so I feel a lot of pride in them.

They kept us in the game.”

Although the offense did not score in the first half, the Bears were able to move the ball. Junior quarterback Zach Harris completed eight of 16 pass attempts for 105 yards.

On the first drive of the second half, Creekview broke through with a

47-yard touchdown pass. The Grizzlies failed on their two-point conversion, making the score 6-0.

Creekview extended its lead later in the third quarter after the Grizzlies called a screen pass that covered 50 yards for a touchdown. The Grizzlies kicked the extra point this time and took a 13-0 lead over Cambridge.

The Bears punted on four drives in the third quarter and eight times total in the game.

Five minutes into the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies’ defense threw its final blow at the Bears, forcing and recovering a fumble in the Bears’ end zone to score a touchdown and take a threescore lead.

“Their defense brings a lot of pressure,” Bennett said.

Cambridge is back in action Oct. 9 at home against non-region opponent Langston Hughes (3-0).

“Our kids will respond,” Bennett said. “They came off a pretty tough loss last week, and you see how they played against a pretty good team tonight.

They’ll respond. They’re great kids.

They work hard and believe in what we do. I have no doubt we’ll respond.”

to Saints in thrilling fight

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com CLASS 7A Cedar Grove 14, Milton 7 Milton dropped their first matchup of the season Friday at home with a bitter loss to Cedar Grove, the top-ranked team in Class 3A and two-time defending state champs. Cedar Grove (1-0) scored two unanswered touchdowns to take the lead and held off a final-minute drive by the Eagles to end the thrilling contest.

The game featured stout defensive play that started on the opening possessions of the game. The Saints returned the opening kickoff to Milton’s 21-yard line, but the Eagles held to force a turnover on downs. Cedar Grove forced a Milton turnover on downs on the ensuing possession.

After the teams traded defensive blows, Milton broke through with a 19yard touchdown pass from Devin Farrell to Jordan McDonald with under three minutes left in the first half. McDonald, Milton’s highly touted running back, went down with an apparent shoulder injury in the third quarter and did not return.

The Saints scored in the third quarter but missed the point after to allow Milton to keep a 7-6 lead. However, Cedar Grove found the end zone again in the opening minute of the fourth and converted its 2-point play to go ahead, 14-7.

Milton looked to tie the game with under three minutes remaining, but the Eagles were stuffed on a fourth-and-1 play on Cedar Grove’s 28-yard line. They would get another offensive possession.

After some poor clock management from the Saints, Milton took over on offense at their own 21-yard line with two minutes left. The Eagles used a string of passes and rushes from Farrell to move the ball to the Saints’ 10-yard line with a spike stopping the clock with five seconds left.

Looking for the score to allow Milton to tie, Farrell threw a corner route to defensive end LT Overton, the nation’s top sophomore recruit, but the pass was batted away by a Saints defender as Milton faithful looked for a pass interference call that never came.

The Eagles (2-1, 0-0) face another strong opponent Friday with a home contest against McEachern.

See RECAP, Page 19

Recap: Continued from Page 18 Collins Hill 30, Alpharetta 22 Alpharetta’s struggles against top-10 ranked teams continued Friday with the Raiders falling to No. 8 Collins Hill, 3022, at home. The loss was Alpharetta’s fifth straight to ranked teams dating back to 2017.

Collins Hill remained one step ahead throughout the contest.

The Eagles went up 14-0 in the first quarter, but Alpharetta cut the margin to 17-14 at the half.

Collins Hill responded with another two-score run to lead 30-14 late in the third quarter.

With 10 minutes remaining in the game, Alpharetta found the end zone and converted its 2-point play to pull within one score. After the teams exchanged possession, the Raiders were back on the ball in the final minutes looking for the tying touchdown.

Though they moved the ball inside Eagles’ territory, a turnover on downs in the final minute ended Alpharetta’s comeback bid.

The Raiders (1-2, 0-0) take on defending Class 6A state champions Harrison in Kennesaw Oct. 9.

Roswell 37, Campbell 7 For the third straight year, Roswell bested Campbell, with the Hornets picking up a 37-7 win over the Spartans Friday night. The Hornets, who are outscoring opponents by nearly 30 points per game, moved to 3-0.

Junior running back Ryan Stephens bowled over several defenders on his way to the end zone to put the Hornets up 34-7 in the third quarter, and Caden Long converted a field goal in the fourth to round out Roswell’s scoring.

The Knights (0-3, 0-1) go on the road Oct. 9 to continue region play against Chattahoochee.

CLASS 5A Northview 21, Grady 6 Northview earned its first win of 2020 Friday night by downing Grady at home, 21-6.

The Titans jumped on the board first with a touchdown midway through the first quarter and put together an 88yard drive in the second to build a 14-0 lead.

battle of two of the top Class A-Private programs. The Paladins are 4-0 for the fourth time in the past five seasons.

Fellowship’s shutout was its second straight after downing B.E.S.T Academy 42-0 Sept. 25.

The Paladins received touchdown runs from Josh Cole and Garret Wagner in the first quarter to go up 13-0. Murphy Reeves added an 18-yard score in the third, and a 22-yard touchdown run from Lawson Haigler in the fourth iced the game.

Fellowship’s shutout win over North Cobb Christian was its third straight in the series between the programs. The Paladins won a 14-0 contest between the squads in the second round of the 2019 state playoffs and pitched a shutout in the prior meeting in 2011.

The Tigers (2-0, 0-0) are in for a test Oct. 9 when they face top-10 ranked Darlington on the road.

St. Francis 35, Lumpkin County 7 St. Francis earned its first “W” of the season Friday night at home with a lopsided, 35-7 win over Lumpkin County.

The win rights the ship for the Knights who had allowed 38 points per game and scored just 23 combined points through three games entering the matchup.

St. Francis quarterback Jaiden Jenkins hit Jackson Westmoreland for an 80-yard touchdown to put the Knights up 7-0 early. St. Francis’ Jordan Hancock forced a fumble on Lumpkin’s ensuing drive which set up another touchdown throw from Jenkins, this time to Marcellus Hazelton.

Lumpkin scored to cut the lead to 14-7 before the half, but the Knights struck next midway through the third with Jenkins’ third touchdown of the night on a pass to Camden Lusk.

Jenkins added score number four midway through the third with another TD throw to Jake Heintzelman, and Gianni Dorsey ran in from 20-yards minutes later to seal the Knights’ win.

St. Francis (1-3, 0-0) is home again Oct. 9 and kick off their Region 6-A schedule against top-10 ranked Fellowship Christian.

New sports protocols to alter look of high school basketball season

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com GEORGIA — The sports landscape has been altered by the coronavirus pandemic, and those impacts will extend to high school basketball in Georgia this year.

The Georgia High School Association announced last week it is rolling out a string of safety protocols for the 2020-21 season.

The rule changes and suggestions are being implemented to “decrease potential exposure to respiratory droplets by encouraging social distancing, limiting participation in administrative tasks to essential personnel and allowing for appropriate protective equipment.”

Perhaps the most noteworthy change is the elimination of a jump ball to tip off each contest. Instead, the visiting team will be awarded possession of the ball to open the game. In overtime, a coin toss will determine which team will be on offense to begin the period.

Another element affected by the new rules will be throw-ins. Instead of standing beside a player on the sideline or end line and handing over the ball, the official will remain six feet away from athletes and bounce them the ball ahead of handing it over. Officials are also permitted to use an electronic whistle and wear gloves.

Also included in the updates is a change that allows both officials and players to wear cloth facemasks. The GHSA’s outline also directs schools to “consider requiring coaching staff and

other bench personnel to wear face coverings while on the bench.”

Though not required, schools are encouraged to add additional rows or chairs between the end line and coach’s box to allow for social distancing in the bench area. This is similar to other suggestions given by the GHSA for expanding benches/player areas in football, volleyball and softball.

Another suggestion from the GHSA is to add another row of chairs for the bench and to place benches opposite spectator seating if possible.

Pre-game conferences will be limited to referees and the head coach from each team, and post-game handshakes are prohibited and to be replaced by each team lining up on their respective free throw line to wave to the opposing team in a show of sportsmanship.

The home team will also be responsible for ensuring the game ball is sanitized prior to the game, during timeouts and between quarters.

While teams adjust to the new protocols, some local programs will also face a new play landscape with the addition of a shot clock in select games.

In July, the GHSA opted to join a short list of state high school athletic associations to allow for a shot clock.

Under the organization’s plan, the 30-second shot clock will be phased in over the next three seasons. Beginning this year, a shot clock may be used in select holiday tournaments and showcase games.

Marist joins list of area teams with two football cancelations

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA — Marist became the latest football team to face the cancelation of a second game due to COVID-19 protocols last week.

The War Eagles will miss out on a non-region game against Chapel Hill that was slated for Oct. 2.

While all Georgia teams faced delays to begin their season, Marist joins Blessed Trinity and Forsyth Central in the group of North Metro Atlanta schools with two games canceled during the season due to COVID-19. Denmark, St. Francis and Fellowship Christian have had one game canceled.

Though Marist has shut down its program for two weeks, it will result in the loss of only one game. The team, which is 3-0 and ranked No. 1 in Class 4A, had scheduled a bye week Oct. 9.

The cancellation is not the first of the season for the War Eagles, but in this case, it affects only one game.

Marist was scheduled to play threetime defending state champions Blessed Trinity on Sept. 11. The game was to be the sixth edition of a series in which both teams have been ranked in the top 10 each time they have played. However, Blessed Trinity players tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the Titans’ season opener against Forsyth Central on Sept. 4, which forced the cancellation of that contest and BT’s ensuing matchup with Marist.

Marist did manage to find a lastminute replacement opponent for Sept.

11, handing Class A-Private’s Holy Innocents’ a 43-0 loss. The War Eagles have outscored their opponents 111-3 in three contests, with two of those wins coming against top-10 ranked teams.

After its first two games were can-

celled, Blessed Trinity is also rolling to start the season. The Titans knocked off Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy, the top ranked team in Class A-Private, on Sept. 19 before defeating Class 6A’s Kell 54-32 a week later.

BT’s game against Forsyth Central was one of two the Bulldogs had nixed from their slate, both coming in a bout of bad luck. After BT players tested positive for COVID-19, cancelling Central’s season opener, Etowah announced it was abandoning its matchup with the Bulldogs scheduled for Sept. 11. Central did attempt to line up an opponent following Etowah’s announcement but were unsuccessful.

The same week, Central’s second game was nixed, Denmark’s tilt with Allatoona was cancelled.

In North Fulton, St. Francis and Fellowship Christian have also lost out of a game each. St. Francis’ game against former region rivals Whitefield Academy slated for Sept. 25 was cancelled along with Fellowship Christian’s Sept. 18 game against Trinity Christian.
