Milton Firefighters help kids get vaccinated By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Cricket Collins’ two boys closely watched as she got her COVID-19 booster shot from Milton Deputy Fire Marshal Johnny Gomez. She said 8-year-old Liam and 10-year-old Henry Collins had already received their first dose of the vaccine, but that they had been nervous when they got it. So, to put them at ease, she invited them along to watch her get a booster from the Milton Fire Department Dec. 2. “It was just so they knew everybody’s doing it, and it really doesn’t hurt,” she said. The Milton Fire Department resumed its COVID-19 vaccine clinics at Community Place next to City Hall in midNovember. All three vaccine options – Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer – are available and, for the first time, so are shots for eligible children. The clinics are available to anyone who qualifies, not just Milton residents. Launched last spring as an extension of Milton Fire, Community Advocates for Referral and Education Services is a free outreach and assistance program that bridges the gap between emergency care and everyday health care needs. It conducts the clinics in partnership with ReVue Pharmacy. In addition to specially trained firefighters, CARES uses Fire Department volunteers from the Community Emergency Response Team program to offer free health screenings to check blood pressure, heart rhythm abnormalities and more at the vaccine clinics. Fire Chief Gabe Benmoussa said the emergence of the COVID-19 omicron variant and the Food and Drug Administration’s authorization for Pfizer vaccine for children aged 5-11 prompted the

So far, there seems to be community interest. Benmoussa said that in four days, firefighters administered about 200 vaccines on adults and about 40 to kids. The Centers for Disease Control states the Pfizer vaccine is over 90% effective at preventing COVID-19 in children ages 5 to 11 and will reduce their risk of severe disease, hospitalization or long-term COVID-19 complications. After receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, children may experience similar side effects as those seen in adults and with other vaccines, the most common being a sore arm, the CDC says. Capt. Mark Haskins, the department’s new medical services officer, said
that since rebooting the clinics, 515 people have been vaccinated, including approximately 46 children between the ages of 5 and 11. Firefighters are also going out into the community. On Dec. 8, Milton firefighters provided 44 doses to seniors at The Phoenix at Milton assisted living facility. Top infectious disease doctor Anthony Fauci has said that booster shots will be an essential tool to keep infections under control throughout the holidays. The CDC also recommends booster shots for all adults and gives them the option to get a different version than they originally received. As of Dec. 10, the Georgia Depart-

MILTON, Ga. — Anita Jupin is stepping up as Milton’s new Economic Engagement manager. The position, which falls under the Communications and Engagement Department, is a slightly modified version of the Economic Development manager role Sarah LaDart previously held for seven years. In an August social media post, LaDart said she was leaving the City of Milton to move to Athens with her family. She thanked the city for all the opportunities it gave her over the years to lead the Economic Development Department and to serve Milton and the business community. “Among countless other incredible projects, I worked cross-departmentally to revise our Alcohol Ordinance, was on the leadership team for the latest strategic plan and created what eventually became the Milton Arts Council,” LaDart wrote. “Most importantly, I was surrounded by a distinguished group of colleagues and friends.”

Woman notifies police of illegal card charges MILTON, Ga. — A Milton woman on Dec. 3 reported that someone used her credit cards to make fraudulent purchases. According to the 65-year-old victim, the suspicious transactions occurred sometime between Nov. 22 and 26. The
suspect(s) charged $500 on her Bank of America credit card at a Target store in Duluth and Kohl’s credit cards to make the purchases. They also used the card to make an undetermined amount of charges at a cleaners. The victim said there were about $200 worth of charges on her Kohl’s card. The victim noticed the fraudulent charges through online banking. In September, she discovered the address on her Experian account was changed to a Norcross residence without her permission. She told officers she filed a previous fraud report after someone tried using her name to open a Macy’s credit card.

Gainesville man arrested for his role in Jan. 6 riots CUMMING, Ga. — Cumming police arrested a man who federal officials say participated in riots at the U.S. Capitol this year. Ronald Loehrke, 30, of Gainesville was charged with obstruction of law enforcement, unlawful entry and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, according to federal court documents released Dec. 3. Federal officials say Loehrke was one of the first to breach barricades on the west side of the Capitol and that he then “participated in dismantling and moving police barricades” on the building’s east side.
The criminal complaint alleges Loehrke and James Haffner, 53, of Rapid City, South Dakota, went on to climb the stairs of the Capitol before Haffner “sprayed an aerosol substance at U.S. Capitol Police officers who were trying to guard the doors.” Haffner faces the same charges as Loerhke, as well as assaulting a police officer. According to the charging documents, camera footage shows Loerhke helping other rioters breach barricades outside the Capitol and later depicts him inside a Senate office and confronting police officers in the
building. It also references financial records and travel documents that allegedly support Loehrke’s presence at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Loehrke remains free pending further proceedings. Nearly 700 people in all 50 states now face charges stemming from Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol, including more than 200 arrested for assaulting or impeding police officers. According to the FBI, the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with tips is encouraged to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit tips.fbi.gov. — Carl Appen

Milton remembers teen with ‘contagious smile’ and passion for racing By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Hundreds of students and teachers attended a candlelight vigil at Mill Springs Academy Dec. 8 to share stories about 16-year-old Grayson Cloy’s impact on the community. His stepfather Tim Haskew said Cloy was a quiet kid growing up but had a contagious smile that drew people in. He was passionate, compassionate, and kind, Haskew said, which allowed people to find a friend in him. He made them feel safe. Cloy, of Canton, died in a car accident on Freemanville Road in Milton Dec. 3. The incident is still under investigation, but according to the initial report Cloy’s car was engulfed in flames when EMS arrived. Cloy’s friend Smith Hill and 51-year-old David Morrow were also injured in the crash but are recovering. Family friend Jody Schiltz said Hill lost consciousness during the incident but when he came to, he was able to pull Cloy out of the car and gave him CPR until first responders arrived. “Smith Hill is a hero to all of us, and Grayson has left a hole in everybody’s heart,” Schiltz said. Haskew said that in the remains of the accident, he found “the most precious piece of pottery” Cloy had made to give his grandmother for Christmas this year. It was a ceramic bird’s nest with four eggs that represented each of his grandmother’s children, including Cloy’s mom. “In the car crash, the pottery came out,” Haskew said. “We somehow, miraculously found every piece intact and unbroken on the ground. That is the only

SPECIAL
piece that survived. He had a box full of pottery. It was the most meaningful to him, and it’s so special to us. In the midst of this horrific tragedy, we found this last little shining example of the son, grandson and friend that he was.” But Cloy was also an avid outdoorsman. Just a few weeks before the accident, Haskew said he taught him
how to ride a motorcycle. He had also recently gone on his first hunting trip. And last summer, the family took Cloy on his first plane ride out West to visit Arizona, Utah and Nevada, a memory they are grateful to have shared with him. Haskew said Cloy was not afraid of trying new things. In fact, he had only discovered his passion for cycling four years ago when Haskew, who is an ex-ultraendurance racer, introduced him to the sport. He said Cloy’s talent “just exploded” in the last two years. “He had this God-given gift,” Haskew said. “He had a limited number of passions, but he took his passions to the extreme. He had a little saying called ‘full send,’ meaning that whatever I’m going to do, I’m going to do it as hard and the best I can do it. That is the sign of somebody that is dedicated and driven.” While most of his friends slept in on weekends, Cloy would wake up at 6 a.m. to go for a ride. The sport introduced him to a huge community of cyclists in Milton and beyond. In a Dec. 6 Facebook post, Dawn and Jason Chandler, owners of the bike racing business Chainbuster Racing, stated Cloy was a quick-witted kid who loved racing and, most recently, couldn’t wait to line up for the 40-mile bike race called Currahee’s Revenge Dec. 4. Jason Chandler also remembered standing with his dad, Robert Cloy, in October waiting for Grayson Cloy to pass by so he could take a picture. “As we were talking, the third rider in the four-man chase group threw a brief smile and quick peace sign,” the post states. “All I could say is, ‘Well, pretty sure

Forsyth County pushes tech motif along Ga. 400 By PATRICK FOX and TIFFANY MORGAN pat@appenmedia.com newsroom@appenmedia.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA — Forsyth County and the City of Alpharetta have partnered on a marketing initiative they hope will draw the attention of tech companies to the area. Forsyth County commissioners passed a resolution Dec. 7 to seek state legislation naming the 7-mile stretch of Ga. 400 from Haynes Bridge Road in Alpharetta north to Ga. 20 in Forsyth County the Technology Corridor. Forsyth County is home to some 8,000 residents who work in technology. The largest tech employer is Scientific Games, with 1,000 workers, but the county’s resume is growing, especially along Ga. 400. The list includes Forte Data Systems, New Cyber Source, Siemens and close to a dozen others. County Manager Kevin Tanner said the branding initiative was developed in coordination with Forward Forsyth, the county’s economic development partner within the Chamber of Commerce. “Alpharetta, the North Fulton County area, as you know, has been known for quite a few years as a technology hub of the state,” Tanner said.
The highway designation, he added, would be another tool in the county’s efforts to draw more technology companies to the area. “It shows the world and people looking to locate their companies here that this is the technology hub of the state and the Southeast,” Tanner said. Slade Gulledge, vice president of Economic Development for the Chamber said the highway designation will draw sharper focus on the region. “We have an unparalleled access to talent in our county,” Gulledge said. “Both within and a short drive from Forsyth County, we have one of the highest concentrations of technology and engineering talent.” Technology companies are a target industry and key to the success of the county’s economic plans, he said. “We are very fortunate to have local government officials who truly understand the importance of economic development,” Gulledge said. Alpharetta has more than 700 technology companies. The city helps support Tech Alpharetta, a nonprofit that mentors young tech startups and fosters tech business growth. Alpharetta officials approved the measure at the Dec. 6 City Council meeting.
City Manager Bob Regus said Tanner contacted him last month about the idea. Regus said he spoke to council members Ben Burnett and Donald Mitchell, who agreed the venture would benefit all parties. “We came to the conclusion that we are the Technology City of the South,” Regus said. “We have in our corridor just hundreds and hundreds of technology companies, and we consider ourselves the leader in that.” All of Ga. 400 — from Buckhead to the North Georgia mountains — is known officially as Hospitality Highway. Regus said there would be no conflict in designating a portion of the highway the Technology Corridor with signage. “[It would be] good for economic development,” Regus said. “The resolution calls out that we do have the Innovation Center here operated by Tech Alpharetta.” City Council members said they appreciated Tanner’s reaching out, saying it’s another example of how relations with Forsyth County have improved greatly over the past few years. Janet Rodgers, president and CEO of the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the highway designation is another element the agency can use to attract visitors.
TIFFANY MORGAN/APPEN MEDIA
Forsyth County Manager Kevin Tanner is pushing a plan that would allow designating a 7-mile stretch of Ga. 400 the “Technology Corridor.” “This designation would definitely create an economic impact for our tourism industry through spending the night, eating in our restaurants, shopping in our retail stores, attending events and/or attractions,” Rodgers said. “As we promote this specific area as Technology Corridor, I think we will reach a different demographic of individuals and groups that want to either visit or do business in our city because of technology.”

Roswell Mayor proposes condemnation policy for future transportation projects By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — In one of her last moves before leaving office, Mayor Lori Henry is bringing forth a resolution for the use of eminent domain for transportation and other city projects. The move is in response to a recommendation from the law firm Jarrard & Davis, which conducted an independent investigation into the circumstances that led to delays and multimillion-dollar cash settlements in the Oxbo Road realignment project. During a Nov. 29 work session, Henry presented the resolution to the City Council, saying it was necessary because Roswell was “well-known” for being a city that never considered condemnation in transportation projects. The council is set to vote on the resolution at the Dec. 13 regular meeting. “I think it’s only appropriate, because we have had such a strong stance in history with not allowing condemnation that we come up publicly saying that we accept this as a tool in our toolbox,” Henry said. “Not necessarily saying that we’re going to use it in every case, but that we in the City of Roswell consider it as a tool that we may need to use.”
The Jarrard & Davis report stated that throughout their investigation, it became clear the city never considered condemnation as a viable option for acquiring real property for the Oxbo project. Ruling out the use of condemnation as an option, investigators said, can result in overpayment for property interests. City Attorney David Davidson said condemnation is basically the taking of a private person’s property for fair market value for redevelopment purposes but that it must be for public use, such as roads, sidewalks and parks. He said the last time he could remember the city authorizing or even considering using condemnation was in 2008. “Since that time, there were many instances in committee meetings with former councils where the mayor would state the City of Roswell doesn’t condemn,” Davidson said. “Staff would say, ‘We know it’s the policy of the city not to condemn.’ When that happens, it leads to issues.” Davidson also admitted the city had not been following Georgia law for the use of condemnation. “That was an error on our part,” he said. Investigators recommended that once the right-of-way for a project is

determined and appraised, the city should consider condemnation as an option to acquire property rights if it is unable to secure them through negotiation. Otherwise, a property owner can ask for more than the property is worth. The report stated that in 2018, for example, the city paid Southern Pines Construction Group LLC $300,000 for several parcels and access rights at 64 Maple Street, including parcels the company was still under contract to acquire from property owner Leslie Reed. The city agreed Southern Pines would first close on its transaction with Reed and then close on its transaction with the city. However, Southern Pines never closed on its transaction with Reed, and despite the breach of contract, it never refunded the city any of the money it had paid for the parcels, the report stated. Additionally, Reed accused the city of trespassing in 2020 after contractors began constructing stormwater drainage structures on her property. In May, the city paid Reed another $299,000 for her property and access rights so it could continue with the Oxbo Road realignment project, plus $75,000 to tear down three buildings on the parcels.
Davidson said that under Georgia law, the city can present a property owner with an appraisal for their property, and the property owner can decide whether to accept the compensation or to take it to court. Regardless, Davidson said, there is a cost to filing condemnation. And while the property owner is free to have their property appraised on their own, when the city files a condemnation proceeding, it puts up the money in the court and the court gives an order stating that the property belongs to the city. “The person whose property you’re taking, they can argue over the money in court, but you have the property, and the project proceeds, so there are no delays,” Davidson said. “That was obviously not the case on our project, but it’s the right way to do it. There’s a reason that it’s set up like that.” The city charter also states it can condemn inside or outside the corporate limits of the city for present or future use and for any corporate purpose deemed necessary by the governing authority. “That’s in our charter, so for us to have the mentality or the unwritten policy that we can’t condemn, I think is an error,” Davidson said.

Vaccinated: Continued from Page 1 ment of Health reported 62% of Fulton County residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, 56% have received both doses and 27% have received an additional dose after being fully vaccinated, slightly higher than the rates statewide. But, Fulton County remains one of the top five counties in Georgia with the greatest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. The Health Department reported 226 cases Dec. 8, up from 148 the week before. It also reported a 7-day average for new COVID-19 cases at 111, up from the prior number of 77.1. Earlier this month, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the main driver of current COVID-19 cases across the U.S. remains the delta variant of the coronavirus, not omicron. The majority of cases, she said, are among people who remain unvaccinated.
Teen: Continued from Page 3 you just missed him! … To Grayson’s family and friends in Canton, there are no adequate words. Our memories, while brief, were joyful! As you grieve, hold each other tight. Share great memories! Don’t be afraid to laugh at the funny stories and don’t be afraid to cry at the profound sorrow you feel.” During the candlelight vigil, Haskew said one of Grayson Cloy’s former teachers who goes by M.G. also shared stories about their “incredible bond.” He said Grayson Cloy was M.G.’s friend, often visiting his office to talk about his struggles, and in turn, M.G. would mentor him. “Grayson had a lot of adult friendships which just goes to show how in tune he was with people’s feelings and his understanding of the human condition,” Haskew said. “He just had this magnetic personality.” Haskew estimates that between 200 and 250 people attended the event. Schiltz said she was inspired to help organize it from a movie she had recently watched with her son, so she immediately reached out to Grayson Cloy’s mom, Jennifer Haskew, to see if there was anything she could do for her family. After initially setting the goal on GoFundMe at $5,000, she quickly had to raise it because of the outpouring of support coming from the community. As of Dec. 14, nearly $25,000 had been raised. “This community has always been so warm and supportive, and it was the
After getting her booster shot, Cricket Collins asked her boys for a high-five. They were due at the pediatrician’s office for their second dose in the coming days. She said the firefighters made it easy, adding that she was glad they were offering it. “I’m Type 1 diabetic, so I’m immunocompromised,” Cricket Collins said. “And I actually have several people that I know who’ve passed away unvaccinated. I don’t know anybody personally who’s passed away that was vaccinated. So, I talked to my doctors about it, and they recommended that I get a booster shot.” Flu shots are also being offered at the vaccine clinics. Haskins said 27 flu shots have been administered so far. No pre-registration or scheduling is required for any of the clinics, but a parent must accompany children being vaccinated. Those who are interested can simply show up and register quickly on-site.

Haskew said they will always remember Grayson Cloy as a sweet, funny and charismatic “life of the party.” “He was our youngest,” Haskew said. “We remember all the fun, silly times of laugher we shared with him. Sometimes he would just dress up and do silly things. He was quite the comedian. We remember that, and we remember his drive.” Grayson is survived by his mother Jennifer Vanden Heuvel Haskew, father Robert Amos Cloy, brother Andrew Cloy, stepfather Tim Haskew, and maternal grandfather and grandmother Janis and Robert Vanden Heuvel. Deceased are his paternal grandfather and grandmother William and Roth Cloy. A Celebration of Life is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 18, at Stonecreek Church, 13540 Hwy. 9 North Milton. A bike ride in Grayson Cloy’s honor is also slated for Christmas Eve. It will start at 9 a.m. from North Point Community Church, 4350 North Point Parkway in Alpharetta. It will be a fastpaced approximately 50-60-mile route looping through Canton and Milton where Cloy lived.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Developers behind a major, mixed-use project in Alpharetta gave the public a detailed look at the layout plans at a Community Zoning Information meeting Dec. 8. Attorney Julie Sellers, representing developer Southwest Value Partners, said plans call for transforming the current HewlettPackard corporate campus at Windward Parkway and Westside Parkway into a community that will include residential, commercial and more than 1 million square feet of new office space. The 51-acre development is called Continuum. Representatives were on hand from the design team of Gensler architects, civil engineering firm Kimley-Horn and landscape architects HGOR. Drawings presented at the Zoom meeting show five buildings exclusive for office use, including three existing on the campus. Another half-dozen buildings will include a mix of office and retail and office and residential. Sellers described the current campus as a large office building with a “sea of parking lots.” “We are creating a state-of-the-art community with the proper mixture of uses that are required to attract and support corporate clients that are looking to call Alpharetta home,” Sellers said. Southwest Value Partners is proposing to add 82 condominiums, 488 apartments and a 218-room hotel on the site. Plans also call for adding 77,600 square feet of commercial and retail space and 1 million square feet of new office space. The existing 517,000-square-foot office building will be renovated. The property will devote close to 6 acres of civic space, including a village green to serve as a gathering area surrounded by office, retail and restaurants. There will be nearly 3 acres of amenity space. Sellers said builders will include pathways and landscaped drives to provide residents and workers with a sense of place. “This is really modernizing the campus with high-quality design,” Sellers said. The Zoom meeting allowed for questions, and the first inquiry was about traffic, pointing out that nearly 600 residential units are bound to have an effect. The individual remarked that Alpharetta’s City Center has added so many homes and apartments that traffic has become all but impossible in the downtown area. Sellers said that while she could not speak to details of City Center, the Continuum development will have fewer apartments

than what can be found at Avalon. She also said the property is at the corner of two major arteries near Ga. 400. “Any development is certainly going to have some traffic, but the traffic generated by this … it’s certainly not going to have an adverse effect, especially given the access points and the location,” Sellers said. A traffic study, she said, is now underway with the Atlanta Regional Commission. Under Georgia law, any large-scale development, or one that is likely to impact neighboring jurisdictions, is subject to review as a Development of Regional Impact. The Atlanta Regional Commission conducts these reviews in the 11-county metro Atlanta area. After the review is complete, the local government retains its authority to make the final decision on whether to approve the development. Continuum is scheduled to be presented for consideration before the Alpharetta Planning Commission on Feb. 3. It will go before the City Council for final consideration Feb. 28.

Symphony tunes up for holiday shows MORE
By SYDNEY DANGREMOND sydney@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Johns Creek United Methodist Church will be filled with holiday music Dec. 18. The church will host two concerts by the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra. The afternoon event “A Kids’ Christmas” will begin at 2:30, and “Christmas Pops” will be that evening at 7:30. Saturday’s concerts mark the orchestra’s 15th anniversary season, each led by Music Director and conductor J. Wayne Baughman. While directed at children, “A Kids’ Christmas” will be fun for the whole family, or “kids from one to 92,” as “The Christmas Song” says. The hour-long concert, hosted by Ben Assaf, will be sensory-friendly and feature seasonal favorite tunes, interactive sing-alongs and a visit from Santa Claus himself. A quiet room has been set aside for use by individuals who may need a moment to de-escalate from sensory exposure like those with Autism, Baughman said. This is the orchestra’s second time hosting “A Kids’ Christmas” which will have a very loose concert structure ideal for families with younger children, Baughman said. Saturday evening’s concert, “Christmas Pops,” will be more traditional, featuring holiday and seasonal music and will last roughly 90 minutes with a 20-minute intermission between two sets. Joining the orchestra is guest host, featured soloist and Fox Theatre organist Ken Double and the Johns Creek Chorale, directed by Nathan Frank.

Ken Double is a world-renowned organist who “shares the bench” at the fabulous Fox Theatre’s organ, Mighty Mo, with fellow house organist Rick McGee. Double has been playing the theater organ since he was 8 years old growing up in Chicago. In his performance Saturday night Dec. 18 at the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra concert, Double will transform Johns Creek United Methodist Church’s vintage Aeolian-Skinner organ into a theater organ. “He is a remarkable musician and he’s going to do a wonderful job of transforming without damaging the instrument,” Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra Music Director J. Wayne Baughman said. “I think the audience will be absolutely delighted.” Theatre organs and church organs, although both pipe organs, are very

Organist: Continued from Page 10 different instruments, more like distant cousins, Double said. Pipe organs’ origins can be traced back to the third century B.C. in Greece, while theater organs weren’t developed until the early 20th century and were used to accompany silent films. “The biggest difference between the theater organ and the church organ is that the theater organ is orchestral in nature,” Double said. “My right hand is like a singer singing a melody and my left hand and foot are like the orchestra behind the singer. So, the approach is completely different in terms of how the instruments play.” Additionally, because the theater organ is orchestral in nature, many have been outfitted to function as additional instruments all controlled from the same organ console or keyboard. “They were able to incorporate a real glockenspiel, a real xylophone, a real marimba, real chimes, in a few instances, a real piano and make them play through the organ keyboards,” Double said. “So, the theater organ took on an entirely different role and an entirely different manner in which an organist could make music as
opposed to the church organ.” For his performance Saturday night, Double will have to adjust his memorized musical arrangements to suit the church’s unique, 5,000 pipe organ. “The Johns Creek Aeolian-Skinner has this incredible history, this incredible moment in time because of 9/11 and then this incredible rebirth,” Double said. “It’s a very, very important instrument.” Before taking its place at Johns Creek United Methodist Church in 2016, the Aeolian-Skinner organ, named after its manufacturer, was sitting in a storage facility in New York from 2001 to 2012. Built in 1923, the romantic-period organ had called Trinity Church Wall Street in New York City home for decades. Located just 200 yards from Ground Zero, the organ was damaged by dust and debris in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and was considered out of commission. For 11 years it sat virtually untouched until Johns Creek UMC decided to restore the instrument and bring it down South. Using donations raised by church members’ families and a grant from the Johns Creek Arts Foundation, the church raised the requisite $1.2 million to restore the instrument. For the repairs, the church enlisted the help of Casavant Frères, a Canadian pipe organ manufacturer established in 1879.
Restoration took 22 months with artisans onsite working to install and tune the massive instrument. “Casavant might very well have turned the Skinner into a Casavant organ during the rebuilding process, but they did not do that to their unending credit,” Double said. “They realized what they had, how special it was, and I’m sure they took their cue from church leadership. ‘We don’t want to Baroque-up this organ, that’s not what it was, that’s not what made it special.’ And so, it was restored properly.” Before taking the stage Saturday night, Double will have spent 13 hours rehearsing on the Johns Creek organ. “I’ve had quite a few practice sessions because it’s not that it’s foreign, but it’s different,” Double said. “When I’m playing these arrangements, I have a geography mapped out of my hands and feet on the keyboard… The geography is totally different when I sit down to the classical instrument to try and make it work like a theater organ.” While Double has played on organs around the globe, performing on Johns Creek’s organ is a uniquely special experience for him. “It’s just thrilling to play; it’s thrilling to play…. It’s a brilliant, brilliant organ,” Double said. “Anything that an artist wants to create musically is right there at his or her fingertips and there is magic in that pipe work.” He said the organ can do almost any-

It makes it a challenge, but it’s also great fun to play.”
