On Oct. 31, Milton officers spoke with a loss prevention officer at the Milton Target regarding two earlier thefts by what was believed to be the same suspect.

Less than two hours later, police received a call that the suspect was at the Target again.

The store officer identified the woman’s car from investigating the previous thefts. While photographing the vehicle, the officer noticed the loss prevention officer attempting to detain a woman who was running toward the vehicle.

The Target employee yelled to the patrol officer that the woman was the suspect wanted for the previous thefts.

The officer detained the woman who admitted, “I ain’t going to lie, I took everything,” according to the incident report.

The woman allegedly concealed $458 worth of items in Target shopping bags she brought inside the store and passed all registers. The Target employee said this was the same method of theft she used on the prior two incidences.

Unlocked cars targeted in Milton neighborhood MILTON, Ga. — At least four cars within the same neighborhood were burglarized overnight on Nov. 1.

The woman said she suspects it was stolen from her desk because it was left in plain sight, according to the report.

She said she has been in contact with her company’s security department. She was also informed a cleaning service cleans the office each night.

There were no suspects at the time of the police report.

Homestead exemptions enjoy widespread support North Fulton voters pass ballot measures to cap assessments

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — North Fulton voters overwhelmingly passed ballot measures Tuesday that will give local homeowners a break on property assessments next year and some predictability on future value increases.

Residents in Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek and Roswell voted nearly 3-1 in favor of a plan passed by the Legislature this March that will reset property assessments on owner-occupied homes from their current taxable value to their lowest level since 2016. From that point forward, the taxable value on these homes can only rise each year by 3 percent or the cost of living rate, whichever is lower.

The value resets on homesteaded property extend beyond North Fulton cities. Throughout the county, voters passed a similar measure to apply the same assessment formula for owneroccupied homes in the Fulton County School District.

The initiative comes in response to widespread “sticker shock” last year when Fulton County homeowners saw their property values rise by as much as 50 percent in some cases. Overall, property assessments shot up by more than 13 percent for two-thirds of county homeowners, leading to a series of public meetings where angry residents voiced their outrage.

Tuesday’s vote was gratifying for District 2 Fulton County Commissioner Bob Ellis, who has been at the forefront of the fight against wild gyrations in property assessments.

“They all passed with similar spreads: 75-80 percent,” Ellis said. “It was indicative that throughout the county, regardless of demographics, party affiliation, whatever, there was widespread support for having more predictability in property taxes.”

Ellis said he was elated by the support, but not all taxing jurisdictions had the initiatives on the ballot. Atlanta Public Schools and some cities in South Fulton were not included in the homestead exemption referendum.

The new assessment formula should also free up the backlog of appeals the county has been dealing with over the past couple of years, Ellis said.

“It doesn’t solve everything, because I think you’re still going to have appeals, and we certainly have a large batch we need to work through at the moment,” he said. “I’ve been less than pleased

at the pace at the response at which taxpayers are getting through the appeals process. Going forward, the notion people are going to feel [appeals] are their only recourse… will normalize.”

In addition to the ballot measures to reset and cap homestead properties, Fulton voters also passed another initiative that grants a $50,000 reduction for seniors over the age of 65 who own their own homes.

Brunch Bill passes Elsewhere, North Fulton cities overwhelmingly adopted local provisions allowing for the sale of alcohol at 11 a.m. on Sundays - 90 minutes earlier than under the current law. The measure passed in Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton and Johns Creek with more than 70 percent of the vote.

In Alpharetta, the City Council has already passed a provision to amend its city code that still prohibits open carry of alcohol before 12:30 p.m. on Sundays.

In a separate ballot question, county voters backed a measure to amend the Georgia Constitution to eliminate the formation of the Fulton County Industrial District and allow for the annexation of the area by the City of South Fulton or Atlanta.

Constitutional amendments pass In other results involving ballot questions, statewide voters overwhelmingly supported five changes to the Georgia Constitution.

The first question dealt with es-

Antonio and Marcus Workman wrap up voting Nov. 6 at the Windward Fire Station precinct in Alpharetta. Marcus had his tonsils removed the day before and hadn’t eaten in 24 hours, but he wasn’t going to miss his first chance to vote. tablishing a Stewardship Trust Fund, whereby the state Legislature may devote up to 80 percent of the existing sales taxes collected by sporting goods stores into a trust fund dedicated to preserving the state’s natural resources. Its primary sponsors included the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Coalition and The Georgia Conservancy.

Voters also supported establishment of a state business court whose judges will be appointed by the governor to serve five-year terms. Currently, State Courts and Superior Courts, whose judges are elected, consider business matters.

A third amendment that also passed Tuesday allows the Legislature to adjust the formula determining the taxable value of timber land. The amendment will create a class of qualifying timberland that would also be eligible for tax breaks, even without restrictive covenants for owners of 50-plus acres. It would require the State Department of Revenue – not local tax assessors – be responsible for assessing these properties.

“Marsy’s Law,” the fourth constitutional ballot issue, received the greatest margin of support among statewide voters, garnering 81 percent of the nearly 4 million votes cast. The amendment provides constitutional rights for crime vic-

tims to be made aware of all proceedings involving the alleged criminal; the right to be heard at any proceedings involving the release, plea or sentencing of the accused; and the right to be informed of their rights. The measure also gives the Legislature the ability to further define, expand and provide for enforcement of these rights.

Constitutional Question 5, which received more than 2-1 support from voters, allows a county or a city school district the ability to place on the ballot a referendum for a 1 percent sales and use tax for education without the consent of another school district in the county.

Two other statewide questions on the ballot passed with little opposition.

The first is a measure granting a homestead exemption to those who live in a city that levies a transportation sales tax and whose boundaries lie in more than one county and which also has an independent school system.

The second measure, which passed with 73 percent of the vote, clarifies that the existing exemption from ad valorem taxes for nonprofit homes for the mentally disabled applies even when financing for construction or upgrades of the homes is provided by a business corporation or other entity.

Democrats make gains across North Fulton Charities organization marks

Dozens of community leaders meet at Roswell First Baptist Church Nov. 8 to hear the annual report given by North Fulton Community Charities.

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com

NORTH FULTON, Ga. — In a night of high voter turnout, Democrats claimed Georgia’s 6th U.S. Congressional District and made gains in the state Legislature.

Many races were too close to call on election night, but on the morning of Nov. 8, Republican incumbent Rep. Karen Handel released a statement conceding the race to Democratic candidate Lucy McBath.

“After carefully reviewing all of the election results data, it is clear that I came up a bit short on Tuesday,” Handel stated on Facebook. “Congratulations to Representative-Elect Lucy McBath, and I send her only good thoughts and much prayer for the journey that lies ahead for her.”

McBath secured 50.46 percent of the vote to Handel’s 49.54 percent in the race for U.S. House District 6.

“This win is just the beginning,” McBath said in an online statement. “We’ve sent a strong message to the entire country. Absolutely nothing — no politician & no special interest — is more powerful than a mother on a mission.”

The death of McBath’s son, who was shot in 2012, led her to become a gun control advocate and was a key part of her campaign messaging.

Johns Creek voters contributed to another success for Democrats in State House District 50. Democrat Angelika Kausche edged out Republican Kelly Stewart in the district now held by secretary of state candidate Brad Raffensperger. Kausche won 50.67 percent of votes, while Stewart took 49.33 percent.

“It was a very close race, and it was, to be honest, a little nerve-wracking on Tuesday up into night,” Kausche said.

“I’m absolutely thrilled that we managed to win this seat.”

She said her victory is a sign the district has become more moderate and that voters want compromise.

“The times where Republicans could

rely on 60, 70, 80 percent wins are really, really over, and so that means that there is a mandate from the Georgia people to say ‘You know what? We want you to work together,” she said. “That mandate is for Democrats and Republicans. We have to sit down and talk to each other.”

Kausche, who got her first taste of politics working on the Jon Ossoff campaign, attributes the success of Democrats in an area once considered solidly conservative to the volunteers.

“It was really doing grassroots, reaching out to the community, and getting a lot of people involved who may not have been involved before,” she said. “We have now an infrastructure built, and we’re building off of it, that had not been there before. We got a lot of new volunteers involved during my campaign, and I’m sure they’re going to stay on. I’m confident that this base will help us into the future.”

In races for the Georgia Senate, Democrat Zahra Karinshak defeated Republican Matt Reeves 53.53 percent to 46.47 percent in District 47, which covers east Johns Creek and parts of Gwinnett County. The seat had been held by Republican David Shafer who stepped down earlier this year to run for lieutenant governor.

Republican Brandon Beach held on to his Senate District 21 seat, which covers Alpharetta, Milton and parts of east Cherokee County. Beach outpolled Democrat challenger Nicole Nash 70 percent to 30 percent.

State Sen. John Albers, the Republican incumbent, held on to District 56, which includes West Johns Creek, Alpharetta and Roswell. Albers outpolled Democrat challenger Ellyn Jeager 52.55 percent to 47.45.

In the State House, incumbent Republican Rep. Chuck Martin held on to District 49. In the mostly Alpharetta district, Martin won 54.25 percent of votes, while his challenger Krish Bralley

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — It’s been 35 years since North Fulton Community Charities was established to build selfsufficiency and prevent homelessness in the area. And while its programs have made great strides, establishing it as one of the go-to local charities for emergencies, its leaders have noticed growing need in some North Fulton populations.

North Fulton Community Charities staff met with the community Nov. 8 at Roswell First Baptist Church to provide an annual report and speak on these issues.

The nonprofit is “bursting at the seams” providing help to local individuals and families, said NFCC President Jim Pope.

Its education programs in particular — which include literacy programs, GED classes, and financial readiness programs — are beyond capacity, said Director of Programs Eden Purdy.

Those who participate in these programs report that almost 90 percent have gone on to successfully increase their wages or improved wage earning potential, leading to greater self-sufficiency, she added. And several of the GED program graduates have gone on to study at local colleges.

North Fulton Community Charities also provides families in need with financial and food assistance year round.

“We’re the first line of defense for our families and the most consistent line of defense,” said Director of Food Pantry Services Mel Fortin.

Over the past year, the nonprofit has raised and given out over a million

Fortin said she hopes to sustain that momentum and do it again next year.

IN THE INTEREST OF OTHERS:

Providing acceptance for our special people

By LEE CHADWICK Guest contributor Erin was a gentle, sensitive girl just slightly different in her manner than other kids her age … now because of that small variance, she is gone.

Chadwick She took her life at 17.

Kids on the autism spectrum frequently have difficulty making friends — and even if they feel like they are making progress during the week, social networking proves to them they are not.

Never invited to a party, or a movie, they can clearly see their classmates enjoying these activities — always without them.

In their grief, Erin’s parents Darren and Stacy Horst, wished there had been a place where Erin could have experienced the relief and comfort of true acceptance, relief that a difference could have made life manageable for her.

So, from that dark and hopeless place, the Horsts created E’s Club, a bright comfortable place where other kids on the spectrum frequently excluded like Erin, could always feel welcome, accepted and included. The Horsts were determined to help protect other parents from experiencing such a unbearable tragedy.

E’s Club was born out of their sheer determination and the resolve of that vision, to serve others.

Frequently, toddlers seem to be developing as expected. Then without much warning, it becomes clear this beautiful child is going to require a uniquely varied combination of opportunities to reach their true potential.

Parents learn that the range of differences in these kids is so drastic that even getting help to define what is possible for them can be nearly impossible.

While other students immerse themselves in the excitement of the college application process, many of these kids will experience this common rite of passage as further evidence that they are, and will always be, outsiders. Entering adolescence brings a growing self-awareness for all kids. For kids on the spectrum it clarifies their difference — compounded and reinforced by the reactions of others.

In my own experience as a chaperone at E’s club, I have spoken to high school seniors (who are college bound) about the philosophy of a civil society and the complex challenges of negotiating policy

North Fulton Community Charities President Jim Pope delivers the nonprofit’s annual report Nov. 8 at Roswell First Baptist Church.

Charities: Continued from Page 6 started, it’s the busiest time of the year for North Fulton Community Charities.

“For many of our families, it’s the most stressful time of the year, both emotionally and financially,” Purdy said.

North Fulton Community Charities hopes to alleviate some of that stress through several holiday programs, including a warm coat drive and providing Thanksgiving meals and holiday toys to help brighten up the holidays for those in need.

More than 650 families on average participate in these holiday programs. And over the past few years, the number of participating seniors in particular has grown.

Seniors, along with single adults without children, are two vulnerable, growing populations that North Fulton Community Charities staff has identified as needing help.

Volunteers have contributed to the most critical parts of the operations, helping to make North Fulton Community Charities’ mission a reality, Pope said.

Volunteers are the “heart and soul” of the nonprofit, he added.

Currently, North Fulton Community Charities has over 400 active volunteers who have collectively worked over 108,000 hours in the past year. One volunteer in particular, Pam McKemie, was honored at the presentation as the Volunteer of the Year.

North Fulton Community Charities also honored three other partners of the year at the presentation: St. David’s Episcopal Church was recognized as the Faith Partner of the Year, the City of Roswell Police Department as the Civic Partner of the Year and Synchrony as the Business Partner of the Year.

Former superintendent to lead Fulton Schools in interim

NORTH FULTON, Ga. – Former Fulton Schools Superintendent Cindy Loe is coming out of retirement — temporarily — to lead the district following the resignation of Superintendent Jeff Rose.

The selection of Loe Loe as the interim superintendent was a unanimous decision of the Fulton Board of Education, which made the announcement Nov. 7. Fulton School officials confirmed Loe will not be among those considered for the permanent position.

Loe served as Fulton Schools’ superintendent from 2008 until she retired in 2011. She worked alongside five of the seven current board members. Loe began her career as an elementary school teacher and was an associate superintendent In the Gwinnett County School System before coming to Fulton.

Last month Rose submitted his resignation amid contract talks. Although his resignation is effective Dec. 20, Rose has agreed to remain with the Fulton School System as a consultant through the end

of the school year. He has been with the district since June 2017.

In announcing Loe’s selection, board president Linda McCain praised the former superintendent’s “depth of experience and strong commitment to the community” “Dr. Loe has continued to live in Fulton County [after her retirement] and has kept up her long-standing relationship with this community,” McCain said.

Of the eight superintendents who have led Fulton Schools over the past 25 years, Loe is perhaps the most battle tested.

During her three-year tenure, she launched the process to make Fulton Schools the state’s first charter district, took on the Georgia Department of Education over its unpopular math curriculum (and won), and successfully shepherded the district through the tumultuous economic collapse which began in 2009.

In 2010 when Fulton Schools faced a $105 million budget deficit, Loe led the effort to make difficult decisions on spending priorities to balance the budget.

School Board member Gail Dean said Loe’s leadership during the fiscal crisis was crucial in keeping Fulton Schools financially afloat, with healthy reserves.

“She led us through many incredibly tough issues and put us on the fiscal

path of success that we continue on to this day,” Dean said.

For members of the community, the impact of the budget cuts was deep.

With a second year of plummeting revenues in 2010, Fulton School made the unpopular decision to end band and orchestra in the elementary grades.

Hundreds of positions were also eliminated, the millage rate went up, and Fulton was forced to furlough staff for the first time in years. Fulton, however, emerged among the few metro districts not forced to raid reserve funds to keep the system operational.

But it was Loe’s leadership during the “math wars” that many parents remember. When the state changed the math curriculum in 2004 to an integrated model, instead of separate concepts, (algebra, geometry, etc.) math scores began plunging. In 2010, Loe pulled Fulton Schools out of the new math approach — to the ire of state education officials — and put the district and subsequently the rest of the state on the road to the return of traditional math.

Loe’s exact start date, salary, and other transition details will be worked out in the coming weeks, according to Fulton School officials, but she is expected to be on board before the end of the semester to collaborate on the handoff from Rose.

Birmingham Crossroads development gets green light

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — A mixed-used development previously pitched to the City Council for the Birmingham Crossroads District went up before elected officials for the third time this year and ultimately passed.

In a split 4-2 vote, with Councilmen Joe Longoria and Rick Mohrig opposed, the City Council voted Nov. 5 to approve the application with a variance.

The approved development calls for 35 single-family lots, which includes 10 properties under AG-1 designation, and 17,000 square feet of retail and office space near the intersection of Birmingham Highway and Birmingham Road.

It also includes a variance to delete a 75-foot undisturbed buffer and a 10-foot improvement setback on the southern property line, a contentious issue for nearby residents.

Previous plans had included a commercial building fronting Birmingham Road, but the applicant has since replaced it with green space. No townhomes are included in the plans.

The 22-acres has been the site of several revised and at times contentious development plans.

Fulton County approved a rezoning of the site in 2004 for mixed-use including retail, townhomes and single-family homes.

A decade later, the Milton City Council approved a request by the developer that reduced the density for the office and commercial spaces, deleted a proposed daycare facility and reduced the number of townhomes to add 19 single family homes. That plan was later abandoned.

In 2016, property owner Tad Braswell requested modifications to the site plan to replace retail along Birmingham Highway with townhomes. The request was denied.

Democrats: Continued from Page 6 drew 45.75 percent.

Democrats Mary Robichaux in House District 48 and Beth Moore in House District 95 managed upsets of Republican incumbents. In Roswell’s District 48, the race was decided by fewer than 200 votes, with Robichaux receiving 50.28 percent to Betty Price’s 49.72 percent.

In District 95, which includes Gwinnett County and part of Johns Creek, Moore garnered 51.38 percent of the vote, while Scott Hilton took 48.62 percent.

This April, an alternate plan was proposed with 24 single-family homes in the mix-used zone, three commercial office buildings, a stormwater facility, pond and 2.35 acres of greenspace. The applicant also requested a variance to Kunz delete a 75-foot undisturbed buffer. That plan was also denied 6-1 by the City Council, but the vote was not the end of it.

A zoning ordinance code allowed the applicant to once more resubmit plans for consideration Nov. 5 after a sixmonth waiting period.

And while the latest change worked out for the applicant, it drew the ire of several residents.

Many citizens who spoke out against the development Nov. 5 said they had become frustrated and disillusioned with their City Council because of how many opportunities the applicant had to resubmit plans.

“Why is this before us again?” was the question of the evening.

“According to our existing codes, the applicant had an actual right to come back before us again without anything different,” Councilman Matt Kunz said.

“Staff accepted that according to the process. There were no backroom deals.”

He added that he wanted to direct development instead of letting it happen to the city.

The issue, Councilwoman Laura Bentley said, is that the city has two conflicting ordinances regarding the buffer variance: the Northwest Fulton Overlay requires a buffer, while the Birmingham Crossroads Master Plan does not.

The City Council ultimately ruled that the four criteria of the variance test had been met and approved the buffer variance with the motion.

In an open House race, Democrat Josh McLaurin defeated Alex Kaufman in District 51, which mostly covers Sandy Springs. McLaurin earned 51.49 percent of the vote to Kaufman’s 48.51 percent.

Across Johns Creek, voter turnout was 65.67 percent, compared with 60.75 percent statewide. The busiest precinct was Shakerag Elementary School with 3,197 votes cast, while the precinct with the highest turnout was Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church, with 73.33 percent of registered voters casting ballots.

In Johns Creek, 12,585 more votes were cast than in the 2014 midterms, when turnout was 49.78 percent in the city and 50.03 percent statewide.

Sun Valley will be a pedestrian-focused community that encourages residents and guests to enjoy this dynamic neighborhood in a new way.

New construction:

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The blue tarp is up as redevelopment plans are now underway for the empty Roswell Exchange Shopping Center on the corner of Alpharetta Highway and Sun Valley Drive.

Demolition of the shopping center has already been carried out by Pollack Shores Real Estate Group to make way for a multi-family, mixed-use development spearheaded by Fuqua Development. It will include residential and commercial spaces.

The development will replace what Fuqua founder Jeff Fuqua called the “old and stressed” Roswell Exchange Shopping Center, just north of Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, which once housed a Habitat for Humanity, driving school and performing arts school.

Design review plans place the estimated total cost of the project at $87 million. Current plans for the 115,000-square-foot development include new grocery stores, retail and 300 apartments. Almost two-thirds of the apartments will be one-bedroom.

“Sun Valley will be a pedestrian-focused community that encourages residents and guests to enjoy this dynamic neighborhood in a new way,” said Steven Shores, CEO and president of Pollack Shores Real Estate Group. “We look forward to making this a premier destination for Roswell and North Fulton.”

Although plans call for restaurant and retail space, no stores have been named yet for the project, said Roswell Planning and Zoning Director Jackie Deibel.

Pollack Shores Real Estate Group/Special

Redevelopment plans for the Roswell Exchange Shopping Center on the corner of Alpharetta Highway and Sun Valley Drive have passed Roswell’s Design Review Board and await land disturbance permits.

Fuqua Development is known for projects across metro Atlanta, including The Battery Atlanta at SunTrust Park, Kennesaw Marketplace, Lindbergh Place and Peachtree Corners Market.

The Roswell development was not passed without opposition. The City Council approved the plan by a narrow margin, 4-2, with then-Councilwoman Lori Henry and Councilman Marcelo Zapata opposing.

Dozens of residents from Hembree Springs Drive stayed past midnight at the meeting to protest the potential noise, nuisance and towering effects of the buildings.

In response to these protests, Fuqua

lowered its original request for five-story building heights to four stories. Additionally, Fuqua agreed to 14 conditions based on residents’ concerns that include: • Not surpassing 300 residential units and 115,000 square feet of commercial use.

• Dedicating 3,000 square feet of rightof-way to the Georgia Department of Transportation.

• Considering analyzing and constructing a roundabout on Sun Valley Drive.

• Constructing an 8-foot sidewalk along both Sun Valley Drive and Alpharetta Highway.

• Mandatory inclusion of a swimming pool, internet cafe and fitness center as amenities.

The development has since passed unanimously through the Design Review Board process.

Currently, the development is close Packet Pg. 44 to receiving a land disturbance permit, Deibel said. Once that permit is issued, the project will obtain building permits before construction can begin.

There is no completion date set for the project, Deibel said.

Atlanta moves past Amazon snub with The Gulch Ongoing training Atlanta officials are not missing a beat after finding out our city will not be the new home of Amazon’s glorified HQ2. Earlier this week, city officials moved forward on a project that will Geoff smith both help land the Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com headquarters of a shipping company that’s been around a little longer, and will transform downtown.

Amazon’s plans were leaked to the media recently that it plans to divide its massive new headquarters between two cities. According to reports, those cities include Crystal City, Va., Dallas and New York City. Cities across the country had been scurrying to put together offers that included everything from tax incentives to actually renaming their city “Amazon” — all in hopes of wooing the new headquarters and the 25,000 employees that were supposed to come with it.

But in doing its due diligence, Amazon found it difficult to land in a city that could provide 25,000 qualified employees and also house them. So according to reports in the Wall Street Journal, it decided to split the headquarters right down the middle.

Georgia and the City of Atlanta are beasts in the world of wooing businesses, and industries for that matter, to relocate to their area. I’ve told stories of my travels to other states where I’ve talked to their representatives only to learn that they all look up to Georgia and its climate for business, growth and prosperity.

They point to the number of successful colleges, our workforce development programs, our economic diversity and our state’s ability to pull together to win deals and improve infrastructure.

The magazine does a number of things to generate scores, including interviewing company executives, a survey that ranked Georgia at the top.

It’s hard to say exactly why Atlanta seems to be losing out to the other cities. But an article in the Atlanta Business Chronicle pointed to several things.

One was that Amazon’s team first showed up in Atlanta a couple weeks after then Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle responded to Delta Airlines’ decision to stop offering discounted fares to the NRA by saying he would “kill” any legislation that benefits Delta, if the airline didn’t back down. The Amazon team apparently pressed Gov. Nathan Deal on the issue, asking about the message it sent to corporations. According to the article, they had to set up a meeting with Delta executives and other state officials to try to ease their concerns.

Other issues seemed out of Atlanta’s control. The article pointed to the fact that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post. In addition to being close to his paper, having a headquarters in northern Virginia offers Amazon strong connections to the U.S. government and federal spending.

years. Just recently it has brought Inspire Brands and 1,110 jobs, Starbucks Corp. and 500 jobs, BlackRock and 1,000 jobs, Salesforce and 600 jobs, and — because of the successful Gulch vote last Monday — Norfolk Southern’s headquarters and its 850 jobs.

The Gulch project vote was a huge win for economic development in Atlanta, and the City Council was being lobbied and pressured from every major business group throughout the city to pass it. The Gulch is about 40 acres of parking lots and rail lines that sit just east of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Most of the property sits well below street level, and plans are to bring all of it up to street level in the way of a platform.

This alone is estimated to take three years and an estimated at $5 billion. It would add between 1.8 million and 9.3 million square feet of office space, fix a relative eyesore, and connect areas of downtown that have been partitioned by the huge pit. There are only a handful of companies that could even attempt to take on such a project, and business groups didn’t want to miss out on the current opportunity.

Some council members were uncomfortable with the $1.9 billion in public financing that came with the approval — some of which will come from state Enterprise Zone bonds and the city’s Westside Tax Allocation District. But in the end, the council was convinced of the project’s long-term economic development benefits and approved it.

JULIA GROCHOWSKI/Herald

Representatives from Vickers Historic Roswell, Roswell Inc and the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce celebrated the official opening of the mixed-use development on Nov. 5.

Canton Street development opens to public

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — A new business has joined the ranks on Canton Street.

Vickers Historic Roswell, a mixed-use development offering luxury apartments, held its ribbon cutting Nov. 5. The complex is located on the northern edge of downtown Roswell, right on the corner of Woodstock Road and Canton Street.

Representatives from both Roswell Inc and the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce were at the ribbon cutting to welcome Vickers to the gateway of Roswell’s Historic District.

Vickers offers dozens of one-, twoand three-bedroom apartments as well as a mix of retail and restaurants on the ground floor. Apartment floor plan sizes vary between 1,100 square feet to almost 2,000 square feet.

The development promotes walkability as one of its main draws, emphasizing its closeness the heart of Roswell, said Property Manager Lyn Stille.

Vickers is less than a 10-minute walk from the dozens of unique restaurants, shops, festivals and entertainment that has made Canton Street famous in the

Metro Atlanta area.

Other amenities Vickers offers include a fitness facility, rooftop party deck, Zen-like courtyard, and covered and reserved parking for residents.

Interior features include quartz countertops, washer and dryers, fire pit, dog run and outdoor living room areas wired for TV. About a third of the apartments have been leased out already, Stille said.

The retail, commercial and office space is about 16,000 square feet in size. No tenants have been named yet, Stille said.

Vickers has drawn criticism in the past by several residents concerning its size, scale and design after it was passed by a split City Council vote in 2015.

But despite past concerns, Stille said the development has recently seen “mostly good” responses from the community.

“The people from the neighborhood that have come to tour are very impressed with the interiors of the apartments and also the interior of the building itself,” Stille said.

Northwestern Middle student attends STEM convention

By JILLIAN DIMARCO interns@northfulton.com MILTON, Ga. — Northwestern Middle School student Asmi Kumar represented Georgiaat the Broadcom Masters STEM convention in Washington D.C., from Oct. 19-24.

Broadcom Masters STEM convention gives students a chance to meet others from across the nation who have similar interests, passions and desires for researching in STEM. “Middle school is a prime time for students, so our goal with the competition is to give them the motivation to continue their passion for STEM in high school and beyond,” Broadcom Masters Program Manager Raeva Ramadorai said.

While at the convention, Ku-

mar earned a second place award in the math category, won an iPad and a $2,500 award stipend to be used for a STEM-related summer camp.

“Next summer I hope to attend the Canada/USA Mathcamp” Kumar said.

“The camp is an intensive five-week summer program for students who are mathematically inclined.”

Her team also won the best team award, where each of the five members of the team received an iPod. To get into the convention, Kumar built and programmed a wearable device that tracks users’ heart rates to predict when a meltdown might occur to help family members and caregivers of autistic children.

If heartbeats begin to increase too rapidly in a short time, or if they soar or dip abnormally, the mobile applica-

tion connected to the device sends out a warning notification.

In the future, Kumar would like to keep studying the aspects of STEM and extend her project further.

“I am excited for this project’s potential because technology’s greatest asset is its ability to help people on a massive scale,” Kumar said. “I will passionately work to build and code for this important purpose.”

A passion of Kumar’s is furthering girls’ education in STEM. Last year, she was the middle school level winner of an essay contest by the Association for Women in Mathematics.

“My favorite part of the convention was getting the chance to explore my peers’ projects,” Kumar said. “We bonded over our passion for science, thoughts, ideas and projects.”

Powerhouse Walton denies Milton first volleyball state title

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MARIETTA, Ga. — Milton fell short of its first volleyball state title Nov. 3 at Marietta High in the 7A state finals with perennial title contender Walton sweeping the Eagles three sets to none (25-14, 25-15, 25-14).

The Raiders (41-3) entered the contest with a 40-3 record — with all three loses to out-of-state opponents — and seven state titles in the past eight years.

The nationally ranked squad put their talent on display with challenging serves, powerful kills and perfect positioning. Walton also had crucial blocks against Milton standout outside hitter Devon Bright and were seemingly mistake-free through three sets.

The Eagles looked shaky to start the finals match as Walton built a quick 9-2 lead.

After head coach Marc Jones called a timeout, Milton settled in, but couldn’t contain the 12-time champions.

Despite powerful kills from Bright, Karsyn Hay and Mallory Reed, Walton remained in control of the first set behind multiple kills from All-American Gabby Gonzalez.

Milton hung in with Walton early in the second set, with setter Ashton Middleton delivering to Bright and Hay for kills. Leading 9-7, Walton went on a

5-0 run before a kill from Milton’s Kennedy Campbell stopped the bleeding.

However, the Raiders poured on the pressure and outscored Milton 2-7 late in the set to take the 25-15 win.

Milton took its only lead of the match with the first point of the third set and remained close in the opening stages, but Walton went on an 8-1 run to build a 12-5 lead.

The Eagles showed resiliency in the final set, including their sixth point off a long rally and impressive play by libero

Samantha Pell to dig a Walton spike and set up a kill from Hay. Later in the set, Campbell and Reed combined for an impressive block, but with the Raiders continuing their strong play and lack of mistakes, Walton took the set 25-14 to capture their 13th state title in the 25 years the GHSA has recognized volleyball as a state championship sport.

Despite the loss, the Eagles’ state finals run showcased the team’s turnaround from just eight wins last season and puts an exclamation point on the careers of its six key seniors — Bright, Reed, Hay, Jordyn Delmonte, Natalie Miller and Rylyn Monahan.

The Eagles went 29-14 overall this season and captured the Region 5-AAAAAAA championship.

Local charities give back this Thanksgiving

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com

Sign up to volunteer

NORTH FULTON/FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Mention Thanksgiving and most people conjure ideas of family, food and football, but for many, the holiday is also a time for giving back.

Each year, with the help of volunteers and donors, organizations like North Fulton Community Charities and The Place of Forsyth County provide hundreds of families in need with the ingredients for a Thanksgiving feast.

“This event is very popular with the community, the families, the donors,

To sign up to volunteer or for more information, visit nfccholiday.org for North Fulton or theplaceofforsyth. org for Forsyth County. the volunteers,” said Jacquie Tracy, the holiday coordinator for NFCC. “This one really brings out everybody.”

Both organizations assemble bags of nonperishable foods, grocery store gift cards to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, and a turkey. Volunteers will help distribute these bags to families Nov. 18,

the Sunday before Thanksgiving. NFCC and the Place each expect to serve more than 400 families this year.

“Our families that have registered just absolutely love it. It really helps them celebrate the holiday,” she said.

Tracy said the North Fulton organization is in need of grocery store gift cards in increments of $25 and any nonperishable food suitable for a Thanksgiving meal. Donations can be brought to the holiday distribution site, 610 Holcomb Bridge Road in the Roswell Town Center near Big Lots. Donations will be accepted Thursday, Nov. 15 and Friday, Nov. 16 between 4 to 7 p.m.

In Forsyth County, The Place Executive Director Joni Smith said they are looking for $20 or $25 gift cards, turkeys and nonperishable foods, especially ingredients for baked desserts such as pie crust and filling or cake mix. The Place of Forsyth is at 2550 The Place Circle in Cumming.

Thanksgiving is not the only opportunity for giving. Both organizations accept food pantry items year round and coats throughout the winter.

“As we get into the colder weather, we are collecting coats, especially for kids because they outgrow them every year,” Smith said.

Milton outlasts South Gwinnett to advance to second round

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton head coach Adam Clack said his team took a “mighty punch” from a talented South Gwinnett squad in the first round of the playoffs Friday night, but the Eagles prevailed to stamp their ticket to the second round with a 28-19 win.

“The team as a whole rallied,” Clack said. “It wasn’t their best game, but they didn’t panic.”

The Eagles were led by a four-touchdown performance from quarterback Jordan Yates, who rushed for three scores and threw a touchdown pass to Joseph Charleston. However, the Comets held Yates and the Milton offense in check in the first half.

Clack said the Comets controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball in the opening two periods, and coupled with costly penalties, the Eagles’ offense struggled to find its rhythm.

Meanwhile, South’s rushing attack continually moved the chains.

“The defense had a tall task,” Clack said. “One thing we saw on film was that they would line up in the wildcat and be content to move the ball in short clips,

but they weren’t majoring in that. But they came in with a good game plan, did major in that, and kept our offense off the field.”

South Gwinnett opened a 13-7 lead at the half, but Clack said adjustments at the break allowed the Eagles to close the gap and claim the lead.

The offense found its rhythm in the third quarter, led by quarterback rushes and zone reads. While Yates racked up the touchdowns, Clack did not discount the performance of his running back, Josh Edwards, who was crucial in keeping the chains moving.

“What he does for this team doesn’t always show up in the stat sheet, but he continued to get tough yards when we needed it and kept drives alive,” Clack said.

Defensively, the Comets’ rushing attack was held mostly at bay in the third and fourth quarter after Milton adjusted its schemes.

“The defensive staff was trying to get a hat in the gap a little quicker and

get some stops in the backfield,” Clack said.

“We were rallying to the ball well.”

Yates’ second touchdown of the night gave Milton a 14-13 lead on the opening drive of the second half, and the senior threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Charleston with seven minutes remaining. But the contest went down to the final minutes.

The Comets’ scored with just over two minutes left to play, but their missed PAT on their opening touchdown forced Gwinnett to go for two.

Nasier Currie-Sudler hauled in his second interception of the game on the attempted two-point conversion to retain Milton’s 21-19 lead.

Milton responded in dramatic fashion just 14 seconds later with a 70-yard touchdown scamper from Yates to extend their lead to 28-19 and held on for the win.

Friday’s game marked the first close, down-to-the-wire contest for the Eagles since their Sept. 21 loss to Parkview in non-region play. Clack said Milton’s

grueling non-region slate provided valuable experience for their matchup with the Comets.

“I think in the first half we were a bit taken back by [South Gwinnett’s] size and speed,” Clack said. “The last five weeks we were able to shut things down late in the third quarter or early in the fourth. But I think we were able to hold the rope because we had been tested earlier in the season. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a tough and good win.”

Milton hosts Mill Creek (8-3) in the second round. While he expects a sturdy challenge from the talented and sizable Hawks, Clack is also challenging the Milton community to stand behind the Eagles this Friday.

“I want to challenge our community and students to come out and support this team that is playing some of the best football in the history of Milton,” Clack said. “We’re extremely thankful for the support we have had, but man, it would be really nice to look up Friday night as we host a second round game for one of the few times in program history and see a packed house to rally our boys to an Elite 8 berth. These boys are playing fantastic football and I’d hate for anyone to miss it.”

FOOTBALL RECAP Tift County 42, Roswell 7 Roswell’s incredible turnaround from last season ended Friday night with the Hornets taking a first-round exit in their playoff against 7A at-large bid Tift County.

The Blue Devils held Roswell to under 50 yards of offense in the first half, including just six offensive plays in the first quarter.

Tift County opened the scoring in the second quarter with the first of its three rushing scores and led 21-0 at the half.

Roswell gained momentum by scoring on the first possession of the second half, capped off by a 6-yard touchdown pass from Ethan Roberts to Jacob Jarrett, but Tift continued to limit Roswell’s offensive success later in the contest.

Tift added offensive touchdowns midway through the third quarter and early in the fourth before a pick-six iced the contest with nine minutes remaining.

Tift County had over 200 yards rushing in the win and had nearly doubled Roswell in the time of possession category.

After a frustrating 3-8 campaign in 2017, the Hornets went 9-1 in the regular season and captured the Region 4 championship this year.

Allatoona 38, Centennial 7 Centennial’s impressive season came to a disappointing end Friday night at

home with the Knights’ dropping their first-round matchup with Allatoona.

Without quarterback Max Brosmer, who went down with an injury in the Knights’ season finale, the Knights were held to under 150 yards of total offense.

Centennial remained close in the first half and trailed 10-0 entering the third, but the Buccaneers capitalized on a Centennial interception early in the period to increase their lead to three scores and added another touchdown four minutes later.

The Knights found the scoreboard with a 55-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Parker Sperier to Drake Mason, but Allatoona responded with two more scores to close out the contest.

Centennial compiled a 7-4 overall record this season and earned their second straight runner-up finish in Region 7.

Sequoyah 34, Alpharetta 30 Alpharetta came up just short in a back-and-forth battle with Sequoyah Friday night to close outs its 2018 campaign in Cherokee County.

Both teams scored on their opening drives, including a touchdown reception from Alpharetta’s Kent Cherry, and the score remained deadlocked at 7-7 after two periods of play.

Cherry gave Alpharetta its first lead early in the third with an 80-yard rush.

Read the entire recap by visiting NorthFulton.com/ Sports Alpharetta forced a three-and-out but fumbled to set up the Chiefs’ second score midway through the period.

Alpharetta’s Matthew Ashe hit a field goal to cut Sequoyah’s lead to 21-17, but the Chiefs scored another touchdown to continue the flurry of scoring.

The Raiders converted a fourth down and cut the lead to 27-24 with five minutes remaining after a 6-yard touchdown pass from Will Gerdes to Robbie Ruppel.

Alpharetta took a 30-27 lead with just two minutes remaining on a 67-yard touchdown reception from Ruppel, but the drama was far from over.

With just 21 seconds remaining, Sequoyah punched in a rushing score from 1 yard out to take the lead 34-30.

Alpharetta used two receptions to drive to the Chiefs’ 34-yard line with three seconds left, but Gerdes’ ensuing desperation pass was intercepted to end of the Raiders’ season.

The Raiders compiled a 6-5 overall record this season and earned their third straight trip to the playoffs.

Blessed Trinity 55, Northwest Whitfield 16 Blessed Trinity won its eighth straight first-round playoff matchup Friday night with a lopsided win over Region 1, No. 4 seed Northwest Whitfield (6-5) at home.

The Titans opened a 39-0 lead at the half and cruised to the win, their 11th in as many games this season.

Quarterback Jake Smith had three touchdown passes in the first half to Ryan Davis, Quinton Reese and James Bryant.

Jackson Hamilton added two rushing touchdowns along with touchdowns runs from Steele Chambers and Jake Nevle. Kicker Ethan Chauvin hit field goals of 43 and 44 yards, and BT added a safety to power its win.

The Titans (11-0) host North Oconee (9-2) this Friday in the second round.

Fellowship Christian (bye) Fellowship Christian earned a bye in the first round of the playoffs by placing 7th in the final regular season power ratings.

The Paladins (9-1) will host Riverside Military Academy (23rd in power ratings) in the second round on Nov. 16.

Fellowship is 6-6 all-time in the playoffs, including a berth in the state finals in 2016 and a trip to the second round last season.

CADNET ADS

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars.

800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
