Medley mixed-use development opens in Johns Creek By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Medley, Johns Creek’s much-anticipated mixed-use development, is about more than just what you can buy there, said developer Mark Toro during an Oct. 29 grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting. “Medley is more than buildings and businesses,” Toro said. “It’s a place where people live, work, gather and make memories.” Standing on a stage in an outdoor gathering space on the property, Toro addressed a crowd of several hundred area residents, commercial real estate professionals, business leaders and developers. Toro is the founder of Toro Development Co. and was also principal developer of Alpharetta’s Avalon.

Officers arrest man at ex-girlfriend’s home ALPHARETTA, Ga — A 30-year-old Forsyth County man was arrested after allegedly attempting to force his way into his ex-girlfriend’s home Oct. 4. Alpharetta police said officers were dispatched to the Autumn Sage Drive home about 7 p.m. A 32-year-old Alpharetta woman told 911 dispatchers her home was locked and that she and her mother were hiding in a bathroom. Officers found the man outside the home and a BeatBox alcoholic beverage next to him. The man appeared intoxicated, police said. While inspecting the outside of the home, officers allegedly found a debit card wedged into the side of a basement door. The front door had pry marks and chipped paint and wood, police said. Officers took the man to the Alpharetta Detention Center and charged him with criminal damage to property, public drunkenness and possession of tools for commission of a crime. — Jon Wilcox

Gas station robbed of vape products, cash ROSWELL, Ga. — In the early morning hours Oct. 20, two men stole around $900 in vape products and $200 cash from a gas station on Marietta Highway. Roswell officers arrived at the gas station around 3:45 a.m. and found the business’s front left pane of glass shattered. Officers searched the inside, but found no one. The business owner arrived and showed police video of two men approaching the front of the gas station. One man threw a rock, shattering the glass. The same man entered the business with a backpack while the other stood outside. The man took all bills from the cash register and took approximately $900 in vape products before exiting through the broken window. The pair ran around the back of the business and down the alley toward Coleman Road. — Hannah Yahne

Deputies investigate attempted home burglary FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies investigated a reported home burglary Oct. 12. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were dispatched to the Rex Lane home and met with the 32-year-old male resident. The man said he went outside the home the previous night to investigate sounds. He found his windowsill was damaged and a man walking away from his apartment. Deputies reviewed a security camera recording showing the man walking toward the home around 7:15 p.m. from Ronald Reagan Boulevard. The recording showed the man leaving the home, but it did not capture anything else. Deputies could not determine the man’s identity. The incident was classified as a felony forced burglary of a home. Nothing was reported stolen. — Jon Wilcox

Continuing care throughout breast cancer survivorship By HANNAH YAHNE hannah@appenmedia.com SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — There are more than 4 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S., according to the American Cancer Society. “Every day of survivorship is harder than any day of active treatment,” breast cancer survivor Abbi Greer Campagno said. “And there’s no manual.” To Liz Loreti, executive director of Iris Breast Cancer Rehabilitation, there are “… survivors that don’t have support.” That’s where Iris Breast Cancer Rehabilitation comes in – a nonprofit organization that provides physical rehabilitation for breast cancer survivors. The organization’s team of 20 physical therapists, oncology massage therapists, clinical support staff and social workers administered 6,500 appointments in 2025. Jill Binkley, a physical therapist and breast cancer survivor, founded the nonprofit in 2003. It was previously known as TurningPoint Breast Cancer Rehabilitation before it rebranded. Survivors are often still fighting battles after they ring the bell and

They get into a car that they can’t drive. At home, they can’t walk their dog or pick up their kids. Iris offers a range of services to help survivors regain strength after treatment. “People don’t want the hard part,” Loreti said. “But those are the things that aren’t glamorized, and those are the daily realities of our survivors.”

When patients walk in for physical therapy or lymphatic massage therapy, Loreti said, some “look broken.” “They’re hunched over, they’re in pain, and literally 55 minutes later, they come out a completely different person,” she said. Campagno said Iris provides a “very dignified” environment for an activity that is so personal. She has

been taking exercise classes at Iris since exiting active treatment. But after another surgery in November, Campagno may need to seek physical therapy sessions. Michel Lee started visiting Iris six years after her active treatment ended in 2021. She started to experience fibrosis from radiation and has been working with a physical therapist to relieve tightness in her left pectoral area and upper left back. Lee said it’s easy to feel “part of the cattle herd” in other doctors’ offices, but that has never been the case at Iris. “You are recognized as a person who has an individual situation,” Lee said. “You never leave here with a depressed mindset. You leave with hope.” Campagno said doctors don’t often share physical rehabilitation as an option following cancer treatment. “I really had to push to get the referral,” Campagno said. According to breastcancer.org, exercise after cancer treatment can help mitigate side effects from treatment and even reduce the risk of cancer returning.

Blessed Trinity softball falls to Cartersville By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com

ROSWELL, Ga. — The Blessed Trinity Titans softball season ended Oct. 21 when the team fell to Cartersville in a playoff series. Their final two wins came in the first round of the Georgia High School Sports Association 5A playoffs, in an upset against Dutchtown. The Titans and their fans made the trip down to Henry County, where they scored 27 runs to the Dutchtown Bulldogs’ four. Senior Florida Atlantic University commit Chelsea Lewis reached her third school record in the series against Dutchtown with her 42nd RBI of the year, setting the single-season record. Lewis leads the team in batting average and doubled her career home run total this season, putting up eight. Her first two records were single-season and career home runs. Lewis told Appen Media after the first-round win that the team knew they had a tall task ahead of them facing Cartersville, but regardless, it was a celebratory moment for the senior class who hadn’t made it past the first round since freshman year.

ANNABELLE REITER/APPEN MEDIA

The Blessed Trinity Titans softball team celebrates their first round playoff win against Dutchtown after the final out Oct. 14. “It’s a really close bond that we’ve all created here,” she said. “Blessed Trinity softball is probably the best thing that I’ve ever been a part of, and I’m so grateful for the family that has developed me as a player and I’m so thankful that I get to play with these girls. It’s actually crazy [to look back at the last four years], and I just hope that we can keep it going as long as possible.” One motto she has repeated to her team is that “it takes everyone” to

come together. “We don’t need one solo person,” Lewis said. “It doesn’t take the senior who sets the home run record. It takes the freshmen in the dugout that are calling out the runners, and it takes everyone.” Junior Piper O’Neill pitched the entire series with Dutchtown, including a 15-0 shutout in the first game. Head coach Scott Harrison said the way she “stepped up and held [Dutchtown] down” was a major contributing factor

to how well his team executed. “They prepared well; they had a really good attitude all week about practice,” Harrison said. “We’ve worked so hard up to this point.” This season, with the new playoff structure based on Post Season Ranking (PSR), Harrison said he structured the team’s schedule to be tough to boost their chances of getting a home playoff series. The Titans kicked off their season Aug. 7 against Walton before a tri-match the following day against Long County and Roswell. Blessed Trinity finished the regular season at 17-9, ranked 18th in PSR, and fell just short of a home playoff series. In a tough region that helped build the team’s PSR, the Titans finished third in Region 6-5A with four losses. They split the series with Marist and St. Pius X and dropped both games to Cambridge, a top10 team in the state. The out-of-region opponents they faced included Westminster, Temple, Mount Paran, Decatur and Mount Vernon. Harrison said he feels the team has performed consistently on offense, defense and pitching even in a tough schedule.

Adaptive Field Day offers inclusive recreation for North Fulton families BY KATHERINE DAVIS newsroom@appenmedia.com

PHOTOS BY KATHERINE DAVIS/APPEN MEDIA

Graham and Todd Bitzer play cornhole at North Fulton Special Needs Field Day at Cauley Creek Park in Johns Creek on the cities of Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell and The Alpharetta Family YMCA.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga — Children and families gathered at Cauley Creek Park on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026 for Adaptive Field Day, an annual event organized by North Fulton Special Needs. The event is part of a series of Johns Creek events to enhance self-esteem and independence and promote community involvement. The field day is an annual collaboration between the cities of Milton, Johns Creek, Alpharetta and Roswell and the Alpharetta Family YMCA. The event location rotates between the participating cities each year. This year, it featured a bounce house, inflatable slide, face painting, cornhole, lawn games, a dance zone and Kona Ice. The event welcomed families and children both with and without disabilities. Adaptive Field Day was originally scheduled for Oct. 10 but was postponed because of inclement weather associated with Hurricane Isaias. The event drew a smaller crowd than expected. However, for Johns Creek resident Sonam Manghnani, the smaller crowd made the event a better experience for her family. Manghnani attended the event with her two children, including her son Niam, who uses a wheelchair. “It’s a lot less crowded and less stimulating,” Manghnani said. “I feel like it’s easier for my son to just freely navigate his wheelchair around.” Volunteers helped some children

participate by responding to their individual needs, like putting some bubble soap on a chair instead of the ground to make it easier for Niam to reach it from his wheelchair. There was also a station for people to make their own sensory bottle and music was concentrated in certain areas of the field rather than played all over. Manghnani said that being able to cater to certain needs and disabilities, visible or not, can make community events easier for some families to attend. “Just because a kid is in a wheelchair or kind of sitting in the corner, it doesn’t mean they don’t want to play and they don’t want to engage,” she said. “It’s just trying to find the right way to get them to be able to be involved.” Laura Henderson, a volunteer attending her first North Fulton Special Needs event, said she discovered the organization while researching services for people with disabilities. Henderson recently started Special Strong North Atlanta, a business offering adaptive activities and fitness for children and adults. She said the event’s broader purpose was to bring people together and raise awareness of the importance of inclusive community programming. “I really think that the bigger purpose is bringing the community together. So, [it’s about] having fun, enjoying beautiful weather and just having everybody come out and just enjoy the day together,” Henderson said.

The quietest weeks of the year are when the spring market is decided. Brought to you by – Bill Rawlings, CEO and Founder of Peachtree Town & Country

BILL RAWLINGS

Where the market stands November brings the most measured pace of the selling year, following a fall in which buyers became more deliberate. Mortgage rates moved higher, showing activity eased, and buyers now have a broader selection of residences than they did a year ago. The value of a well-priced, well-presented residence has not changed. The time

required to realize it has. This month is about preparation. The decisions that shape a successful sale or purchase in the new year are best made now, with the time and care they deserve.

Town: Inside the Perimeter Buckhead’s single-family market closed the first half of the year with $1.02 billion in volume across 541 sales, an increase of 5.2% over the prior year. While the first half recorded no sale above $10 million, the second half has already recorded two: 3603 Knollwood Drive at $13,800,000 and 375 Blackland Road at $18,600,000. Condominium sales in Buckhead declined 17% in the first half to 389, while townhome sales held steady at 151. New construction stands apart. Elyse Buckhead on West Paces Ferry Road surpassed $100 million in sales within its first year, with residences offered from $992,000 and delivery anticipated in late 2028. Buyers are committing

early to new, well-located buildings, while established resale buildings are competing on price and condition. Country: Outside the Perimeter Alpharetta remains a balanced market, with 5.2 months of supply, a median of 34 days to contract, and sellers achieving 96.6% of asking price. The median sale price of $705,000 is up 0.3%, essentially unchanged from last year. Supply varies by ZIP code: 30004, which includes Milton, stands near 4.6 months and 30005 near 4.7 months, while 30009 is at 6.4 months, on the buyer’s side of the six-month threshold. Roswell and the Forsyth corridor reflect the same principle: residences priced in line with recent sales are selling, while those priced above them are waiting. Townhomes and villas represented 22% of Alpharetta sales over the past year, and condominiums 12%. New construction accounted for 3% of all Alpharetta sales during that period, concentrated in and around Downtown Alpharetta. Attached residences near Downtown Alpharetta and Avalon continue to attract the strongest interest, while older residences farther from these centers compete on price and condition. The cost of money Mortgage rates reached their highest level of the year in October before easing slightly. The effect is most pronounced where financing guides the decision and least at the upper end of the market. For buyers who are financing, the focus is the monthly payment, which makes terms every bit as important as price. What we are advising clients right now Sellers preparing for a spring sale should use November and December to complete repairs, refresh their residence, and establish pricing based on recent closed sales. List prices should be set with humility and placed

on key search bands, such as $1,500,000 rather than $1,549,000. This is not the moment to reach. Let the market carry the price higher if it will bear it. Sellers currently on the market who prefer not to wait for spring are best served by remaining on the market. Residences continue to sell throughout November and December in Atlanta. Ours is a highly mobile market, and buyers relocating for work move on their own timelines rather than the calendar’s. Withdrawing a residence now means stepping away from those buyers, and when fewer residences are available, those that remain command greater attention. Some of the strongest results come when supply is at its lowest. Sellers should also be far more open to working with buyers on terms, as a rate buydown will often accomplish more than a price reduction. Buyers, in turn, should work closely with a mortgage advisor focused on securing the most favorable monthly payment over the first years of the loan. Consider a $1,000,000 purchase with 20% down at a 7.5% rate, resulting in a monthly principal and interest payment of approximately $5,594. A 4% price reduction lowers that payment by roughly $224 per month. If the seller instead contributes approximately 4% toward a buydown, the buyer’s rate becomes 4.5% in the first year, 5.5% in the second, and 6.5% in the third before reaching 7.5%. The first-year payment falls to approximately $4,053, a savings of roughly $1,540 per month. Should rates fall below 6.5% during that period, the buyer can refinance and retain a lower payment going forward. For buyers, the final weeks of the year bring fewer competing offers and sellers who are receptive on terms and timing. A buyer who is pre-approved and prepared to act can secure the right residence, whether singlefamily, condominium, or townhome, before the spring market returns.

“We thought we were going to downsize.” Brought to you by – Bath and Kitchen Galleria For years, local empty nesters shared a common retirement playbook: wait for the kids to move out, sell the sprawling suburban family home, and downsize into a smaller, low-maintenance condo or townhouse. But in today’s economic climate, that traditional transition has hit a major roadblock. A perfect storm of financial hurdles is forcing North Atlanta homeowners to rethink their longterm plans. High interest rates mean giving up an incredibly low, locked-in mortgage for a new, costlier loan. When you factor in skyrocketing moving costs, the surprisingly elevated price tags on smaller new builds, and steep capital gains tax implications, downsizing simply doesn’t make financial sense anymore. Instead of moving out, local

homeowners are choosing to stay put and adapt. “We are seeing a massive shift in how people view their long-term investments,” says John Hogan, president of Bath & Kitchen Galleria. “Homeowners look at the math and realize that reinvesting into their current property is much smarter than absorbing the massive friction costs of selling and buying in this market. They are choosing to transform the space they already love.” The most common adaptations focus on the two highest-traffic zones in the home: the kitchen and the primary bathroom. For empty nesters, the goal is no longer about maintaining a showroom; it is about lifestyle, connection, and long-term viability. In the kitchen, the focus is on hosting the next generation. Homeowners are actively tearing

down walls to open spaces, allowing the kitchen to flow naturally into family areas to accommodate growing families and holiday gatherings. Renovation plans are also tackling long-standing storage limitations and creating smarter, more ergonomic work areas that blend daily living with entertaining. “The kitchen remains the heart of the home, but its role changes when the kids move out,” explains Bobbie Kohm, VP of design at Bath & Kitchen Galleria. “It becomes a hub for extended family visits. We are designing open-concept spaces with intelligent zoning and custom storage solutions, so the home functions perfectly whether it’s just two people on a Tuesday or twenty people on Thanksgiving.” Meanwhile, bathroom renovations are heavily prioritizing “aging in place.” Homeowners are planning to ensure they can live independently

and safely for decades to come. Modern, upscale renovations are seamlessly blending luxury with safety. Remodels routinely incorporate curb less, zero-entry walk-in showers, non-slip flooring surfaces, and beautifully integrated, sturdy grab bars that look more like high-end fixtures than medical equipment. Additionally, these projects are solving chronic ventilation issues, eliminating persistent mold and mildew problems to ensure a healthier indoor environment. By upgrading their existing properties, North Atlanta residents are successfully bypassing a stressful real estate market while drastically improving their daily quality of life. The home that raised the family is successfully adapting to host the grandchildren. To learn more, contact Bath & Kitchen Galleria in Alpharetta at 770.661.0073.

Don't let the rate cost you the home Brought to you by - Rony Ghelerter, of HOME Luxury Real Estate, North Atlanta, Rony@HOMEgeorgia.com, 703-899-6663 If you’ve been house hunting in North Fulton this fall, you’ve probably had the same conversation at the kitchen table that I hear from buyers every week: “We love it…but should we wait for rates to come down?” It’s a fair question. Rates have climbed. According to Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed mortgage reached 7.28% at the start of October, crossing the 7% mark for the first time since early 2025 and up from about 6.34% a year ago. Nobody enjoys seeing that number. But after nearly 25 years in real estate, and more than 12 of them right here in Alpharetta and Milton, I can tell you this with confidence: I’ve watched rates go up, and I’ve watched them come back down. What I’ve rarely seen come back down is the price of a great home in a great North Fulton neighborhood. You can change your rate. You can’t change your purchase price. Here’s the part of the conversation that often gets lost. A mortgage rate is temporary. If rates fall in a year or two, you can refinance and lower your payment. The price you pay for your home, though, is permanent. Once it’s set, it’s set. Which means the real question isn’t “Is the rate high?” It’s “Will this home, or one like it, cost more by the time rates

fall?” In our market, history says yes. Alpharetta and Milton remain two of the most desirable addresses in metro Atlanta. Great schools, Avalon and downtown Alpharetta, Crabapple’s charm, the horse RONY country and estate lots GHELERTER of Milton. People want to live here, and that demand doesn’t disappear when rates tick up. As of October 13, there were 104 single-family homes for sale in Milton. Today, there are more homes than buyers, and the buyers who are out there are looking for a deal. That is exactly why this moment matters. When rates ease, the buyers waiting on the sidelines will come back, and 104 homes won’t go very far. Let’s run the numbers Say you’ve found the one: a home that requires an $800,000 loan. At roughly 7.25%, your principal-andinterest payment is about $5,457 a month. Now say you wait, and rates drop a full point to 6.25%. Sounds like a win, until you factor in what happens to prices while you wait. • If that same home (or its equivalent) rises just 5%, you’d need about $840,000 in financing, and your payment at 6.25% lands around $5,172. You saved less than $300 a month. • If it rises 10%, you’d need about $880,000, and your payment is roughly

$5,418. Essentially the same payment you could have had today, except now you’ve also paid more in down payment, closing costs and property taxes on a higher price. And here’s the kicker: when rates do come down, every buyer who’s been sitting on the sidelines comes back at once. More competition means multiple offers, fewer concessions and less negotiating power. The quiet market you’re in right now, the one where you can actually negotiate, is often the window buyers look back on and wish they’d used. The home you love may not wait for you This is the part that’s hardest to put a number on. The right home, the right street, the right lot, the right floor plan for your family, doesn’t come along every month. I’ve had clients pass on a home to “wait and see,” only to watch it go under contract to someone else. Sometimes it never comes back. When a similar home does come back, it’s often priced higher. Waiting for the perfect rate can quietly turn into pricing yourself out of the very neighborhood you wanted. So, what’s a smart buyer to do? None of this means rushing in blindly. It means buying wisely. A few things I tell my clients: • Buy the home, plan the refinance. If the home is right and the payment works today, you’re not stuck with today’s rate forever. Talk to your lender about refinancing options down the

road. • Ask about buydowns and seller credits. In today’s market, many sellers are open to contributing toward a temporary or permanent rate buydown. That’s leverage you may not have when the crowds return. • Look at the full picture. Consider ARMs, 15-year options or putting down a different amount. A good local lender can walk you through what makes sense for your situation. • Focus on fit, not timing. No one, not economists, not lenders, not me, can perfectly time the bottom of the rate cycle. But you can know when you’ve found the right home. The bottom line Rates are higher right now. That’s real. But rates have always moved in cycles, and they always come back down. Home values in Alpharetta and Milton have shown a remarkable ability to hold and grow over time. If you’ve found the home you love, don’t let a temporary number cost you a permanent opportunity. You can always refinance a rate. You can’t refinance a missed opportunity. And if you have questions about what this market means for you, I’m always happy to sit down over a cup of coffee and talk it through.

Selling your Milton home? The right advice could be worth hundreds of thousands. Brought to you by – Michael Stevens | Stevens Residential

MICHAEL STEVENS

If you’re considering selling your home, one of the most important decisions you’ll make happens before it ever goes on the market: determining what improvements, if any, will maximize its value. The difference between making the right and wrong decisions can be tens of thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—

of dollars. Many homeowners assume they need to renovate their kitchen, update bathrooms, replace flooring, or repaint. Others believe their home is perfectly fine asis. Either could be right. Either could be making an expensive mistake.

Every home has a different opportunity A kitchen might need only new countertops, lighting,

and hardware. Another might benefit from a complete renovation. An older bathroom may be perfectly acceptable, while another could significantly hurt a home’s appeal. When improvements are carefully selected and properly executed, the financial returns can be substantial. In my experience, strategically chosen updates can generate net returns of 50%, 100%, 200%, or even 300% on the money invested. I’ve managed many $50,000 in updates that increased a home’s estimated market value by at least $100,000 and sometimes as much as $200,000 or more — that’s roughly $150,000 in additional value after costs. Results vary by property and market conditions. The key isn’t how much you spend. It’s knowing where to spend it. What if someone handled everything for you? This is where my approach at Stevens Residential differs from traditional real estate services. With more than 20 years in real estate, over 500 homes sold, and extensive construction experience, I evaluate homes from both a buyer’s and a remodeling professional’s perspective. I also own a remodeling company. That means I can recommend the right improvements, design them, establish budgets, arrange the work, and manage the entire process.

You don’t have to find contractors, compare estimates, coordinate schedules, or supervise workers. I can handle the details, from the initial evaluation through the final preparation for sale. My construction resources often allow me to complete improvements for less than homeowners might spend managing contractors independently. For those who prefer to preserve cash, options may be available to pay for qualifying improvements at closing instead of upfront. Less work. Less stress. Potentially more money. Selling a home is already a major undertaking. Preparing it shouldn’t become another full-time job. Sometimes the best strategy is a major renovation. Sometimes it’s a handful of updates. Sometimes it’s spending nothing. What matters isn’t just how much your home sells for. It’s how much money you keep. Whether you’re selling soon or several years from now, early advice can help you enjoy improvements today while protecting tomorrow’s resale value. Prepare Smarter. Sell for More.

Georgia’s transfer on death deed looks simple and quick. So what’s the flip side? Brought to you by – Holly Geerdes, Estate Planning Attorney, GK Law Group We practice in more than 25 states, including many that have had TOD deeds for years. Georgia passed its TOD deed law in 2024. HOLLY GEERDES When a legal Estate Law Center USA Top 5% Super Lawyer in Georgia document looks simple and quick, it's worth asking what the catch is. A TOD deed works like a beneficiary designation for your house. When you pass away, the property goes to the person named on the deed. The upside is that it may let that property skip probate. Here's what most people don't hear: It isn't automatic. Your beneficiary has to sign and record an acceptance affidavit with the county after your death. Until they do, the property stays tied to your estate. No one has to tell them the deed exists while you're alive, so they may not know to look for it. If your beneficiary dies first, the plan fails. If your only beneficiary dies before you, or before they finish accepting, the gift can lapse. The house falls back into your estate, and often into probate, which is exactly what you were trying to avoid. You can't keep it in the bloodline.

Your child gets the house outright. When your child dies, it passes under their will. If they have no will, it passes under Georgia's intestacy law, and a surviving spouse with no children inherits everything. Your house could end up with your son-in-law, and then with his next spouse. Divorce and lawsuits. Once your child owns the house, it is exposed to their creditors and lawsuits. Inherited property usually starts out as separate property in a Georgia divorce. But if your child adds their spouse to the deed or puts marital money into the house, it can become divisible. No estate tax planning. A TOD deed doesn't reduce estate taxes. The house counts in your taxable estate, and once your child owns it outright, it counts in theirs too. That makes it a poor fit for larger estates. You can't customize it. There's no way to hold the property for a minor, protect a child with special needs, mental illness, financial problrems, stagger distributions overtime, or name someone to break a tie between siblings who disagree. It does nothing if you become incapacitated. It only works at death, and your agent under a power of attorney can't sign one for you. It covers one property. It isn't a plan. A TOD deed can be the right tool in the right situation. For most families, though, it's a band-aid, not a strategy. Come visit our workshops to learn more.

Hurley top American woman in marathon debut By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com CHICAGO — Roswell native Emma Grace Hurley finished seventh overall and was the top American at the Chicago Marathon, crossing the finish line in 2:20:47. Shattering the record for fastest American marathon debut, Hurley made the fastest marathon performance by an American woman since the 2024 Paris Olympics. And it was her first time running more than 22 miles at once. “I am so proud of my performance today and returning to Chicago is a full-circle moment for me,” Hurley said. “This morning was a reminder to never limit what you think you’re capable of on race day.” Hurley came to Chicago to tackle a new challenge, returning to the city where she broke the American 8K record at the Shamrock Shuffle in March. Before the race, she said she was coming back with a lot more confidence and a lot less fear. The 2016 Fellowship Christian graduate now runs for ASICS and made her marathon debut

in a prototype of the company’s Metaspeed Edge. After college, though, she didn’t see a professional career ahead of her. Despite winning a conference title in the 3K, she had never earned All-American honors. After graduating from Furman University, Hurley quit training “cold turkey” for 16 months. Everything changed when she connected with the Atlanta Track Club and coaches Amy and Andrew Begley, who persuaded her to compete in USA Track & Field races. USATF is based in Indianapolis, and Hurley moved there to continue her training and pursue success. Hurley’s breakthrough came in 2022, when she ran a personalbest 32:50 to finish fifth at the USATF 10K Championships in New York. A second-place finish at the 2023 USATF 15K Championships in Florida convinced her that professional running was already her present, not just her future. Two more podium finishes, in Washington and New York, followed, and the next year she won the USATF Running Circuit title. Hurley’s marathon debut had been “hotly anticipated for years,” according to Runner’s World, since

she followed her circuit title with a 1:08:26 half-marathon debut in Indianapolis in November 2024. She has since added podium finishes at distances from the mile to the half marathon. This year brought a setback at the USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta. Hurley was running second when she and two other leaders were led off course, costing her more than two minutes and dropping her to 12th. Her appeal was unsuccessful, but she still earned a spot on the U.S. team for the World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen. There, Hurley ran a personalbest 1:06:23 in the half marathon. A few weeks later, she returned to Chicago for her marathon debut, where her goal was not a specific time but to come away with lessons to build on. She also finished seventh, inside the top 10. She and coach Andrew Begley said she plans to run a second marathon this fall before turning to shorter distances in the spring. According to Runner’s World, her Chicago performance improved her chances of making the 2028 Olympic team.

PRESERVING THE PAST

OPINION

AppenMedia.com/Milton | Milton Herald | November 5, 2026 | 25

The history and joys of mahjong Many people believe that pickleball has taken over our society. It certainly is a phenomenon. I have written a column about it. But there is a new kid on the block, and that is the Asian tile game mahjong, which BOB MEYERS is currently undergoColumnist ing a massive resurgence across the United States, including in north Fulton and Forsyth County. Many pickleball clubs also host mahjong. In this column, we will explore its history, where it came from and why it is growing so fast all around us. Mahjong is not new. It is thought to have originated in China in the mid-1800s. However, its origin is much older, having most likely evolved from madiao, a 17thcentury Ming dynasty paper card game. Around the 1850s, the paper cards gave way to solid tiles made of bamboo and bone. Today, to millions of people around the world, the game is a ritual and a passion. Over the past century, it has followed a strange trajectory in this country, experiencing three separate waves of popularity. In the 1920s and 1930s, it became a very popular family game thanks to aggressive marketing and adoption by wealthy families. Mahjong parties became fashionable. Eddie Cantor’s hit song “Since Ma Is Playing Mah Jong” helped fuel a nationwide craze for the game. Mahjong-themed clothing became the rage. In 1937, the National Mah Jongg League (the game has had various spellings over the years) standardized an American version of the game. In the 1950s and 1960s, it again spiked in popularity as families moved into new postwar suburbs. Young mothers and housewives used the game to socialize outside of traditional volunteer or child-rearing duties. In the past year, Yelp reports an increase of more than 4,500% in online searches for the game. Part of the reason, according to some people, is a desire, especially among young people, to get away from digital fatigue in favor of screen-free socializing. There is a wonderful array of places where people can play with other enthusiasts at all skill levels — public libraries, businesses and restaurants, for example. “Mahjong brings people into the library and allows us to contribute to the mahjong community,” said Todd Williamson, branch manager of the Milton Library. The library has two drop-in times: Mondays from 2 to 4 p.m. and the second and fourth Fridays of each month from 1

Twice a year, newcomers can learn how to play during a six-week course at the library. Countless small businesses cater to individuals and groups who want to learn and develop their skills in this rather complex game. Teresa Hill founded Mahj in the Burbs after knee surgery in 2024. She had time on her hands, and she loved mahjong. She had a set of mahjong tiles, and her friends helped her convalesce by playing the game with her. She began hosting games at Never Enough Thyme, a popular restaurant in downtown Alpharetta. Her three instruc-

tors have more than 100 years of combined experience teaching mahjong. So far, Mahj in the Burbs has taught more than 1,500 students in Alpharetta, Cumming, Duluth, Johns Creek, Milton and Roswell. “We have 48 to 72 players at each openplay event and tournament,” Hill said. “We are serious about mahjong and how we teach.” Even the celebrated Painted Horse Winery in Milton offers residents an opportunity to learn and play. “Mahjong is a worldwide craze,” said Pamela Borgel, an equestrian and the founder of the Painted Horse Winery and Vineyard in Milton. “My husband, David, and I even

played during our recent trip to Europe. We began providing mahjong at the Painted Horse Winery last February. On Thursday nights, about 60 people attend our Mahjong Club.” The club also meets Friday mornings. On Wednesday evenings, certified teachers from the well-known Le Mahj Club offer Level 1 and Level 2 lessons at the winery. “Mahjong has become an important part of our business,” Borgel said. Carly Hankins founded Le Mahj Club in Alpharetta in January, and it is already successful. The business operates throughout north Fulton, offering lessons, open play, a range of private events and partnerships with organizations such as the Painted Horse Winery. “We host large and small corporate events and offer lessons,” Hankins said. “Le Mahj Club will host a mahjong retreat next January at the Lake Oconee Ritz-Carlton.” Forsyth County is also enthusiastically mahjong-active. Feed the Well Barbeque and Biscuit Barn is a very popular restaurant that Tonya and Darrin Cohen opened in 2021 on a historic property on Peachtree Parkway. Every Monday for the past five months, Andrea Teeter has offered mahjong open play and lessons there, with about five tables of players. All proceeds from the restaurant, including mahjong, support The Well Ministry, whose name is based on the biblical story of the woman at the well. “Mahjong helps the restaurant contribute to the community and to the ministry,” Tonya Cohen said. “Everyone wins.” Special thanks to Jennifer Dickson for her help with this column.

Care: Continued from Page 4 Even when she did get a referral for physical therapy, her doctor questioned why she wanted it. Campagno wondered why rehabilitation was not an automatic part of her treatment plan after chemotherapy. Physical therapy appointments are individualized and private. Patients are often covered only by a thin paper sheet while therapists manipulate their bodies to relieve tension in their pectoral muscles. Campagno said it’s “as invasive as mental health therapy.” But “this is the first touch that’s welcome and warm, not painful or

uncomfortable,” Campagno said. Coming out of trauma with a purpose Patients keep returning to Iris for the community it offers. Lee said the camaraderie and friendships she has found there are “priceless.” “That’s the beauty of this place,” Lee said. “You get access to other people.” In 2025, Iris nearly closed because of a lack of funding. The nonprofit had to stop offering free exercise classes, and Lee said learning about its financial trouble was an absolute shock. Loreti said her staff made it a priority not to let the strain affect their work. “Cancer treatment is scary enough, and you have enough uncertainties; the last thing you need is the probability that this place is going to close,” Loreti said.

NOTICE OF MEETINGS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR THE CITY OF MILTON RZ26-06 — Text Amendments to the Unified Development Code regarding the retention of large tracts, development standards, and related development regulations applicable to AG-1 lots, including previously deferred provisions from RZ26-03, affecting the following: Article 2 General Provisions; Article 3 Agricultural Districts; Article 6 Special Purpose Districts; Article 8 Use Provisions; Article 9 Site Development; Article 10 Streets and Improvements; Article 11 Environment; Article 12 Administration; and Article 13 Definitions. The above item will be considered at the following meetings/public hearings: Special Called Planning Commission Meeting Wednesday, December 9, 2026, at 6:00 pm Mayor and City Council Public Hearing Monday, January 4, 2027, at 6:00 pm Location: Milton City Hall – Council Chambers 2006 Heritage Walk Milton, GA 30004 678-242-2540 Request for Proposals City Vehicles Maintenance and Light Repair Services RFP NUMBER 27-CM01 November 30, 2026, by 2:00PM Local Time Electronic submission via: https://www.miltonga.gov/government/finance/bidsrfps Names for submissions will be publicly announced via a virtual bid opening at approximately 2:30 PM at the City of Milton City Hall located at 2006 Heritage Walk, Milton, GA 30004. The City reserves the right to reject any and all proposals. If contract(s) is awarded, it will be awarded to the highest scoring Offeror(s) whose proposal meets the requirements and criteria set forth in the request for proposals. The City of Milton is requesting proposals from qualified vendors to provide maintenance and light repair services to City vehicles. All qualified proposals will receive consideration without regard to age, handicap, religion, creed or belief, political affiliation, race, color, sex, or national origin. The request for electronic proposals for RFP 27-CM01, City Vehicles Maintenance and Light Repair Services will be posted on the following websites the week of November 5, 2026: https://www.miltonga.gov/government/finance/bids-rfps and https://ssl.doas.state.ga.us/gpr/

“… This one place that’s your safe space, where you can just be yourself.” Donations help cover the cost of care, even for insured patients, Loreti said. Average insurance reimbursements cover only 33.7% of the cost of care, and patients pay a $25 co-pay at each appointment. Philanthropy is supposed to cover the remaining cost. “If we don’t raise the money, it’s a loss on our bottom line,” Loreti said. In 2025, Iris administered 5,600 physical therapy appointments. If everyone self-paid, the rehabilitation center would have made $665,000. Instead, patient payments totaled $78,000, and insurance reimbursements totaled $347,000, leaving Iris to fundraise $240,000 to offset the cost of care. Iris also provides financial aid for patients without insurance and covers the cost of care and any transportation assistance. Loreti said smaller nonprofits are feeling the squeeze from federal grant cuts. Private philanthropy has covered some funding gaps, but leaves little for small nonprofits that rely on annual grants. “We saw a pretty significant decline in grants that we had gotten every year,” Loreti said. “All of these nonprofits are starting to feel the squeeze, and that’s where individuals have to step in.” The individuals helping Iris are mainly patients, she said. “They want to see us succeed, so they are willing to reach out to their networks to ensure that we can continue to operate,” Loreti said. Some patients offered to pay for exercise classes. Patients can now purchase a pack of five classes for $60 or 10 classes for $90 – well below the market rate for surrounding exercise studios, Loreti said. This year, Iris has already seen more than 800 patients across 4,500 appointments. They need to raise at least another $500,000 by year’s end to meet their budget.

Softball: Continued from Page 6 “We set it up to be hard; we were asking to give us really good teams that were going to win 15 to 20 games,” Harrison said. “Pretty much all the teams that we picked to play are almost all in the playoffs now. We let our girls know that there’s not really any nights off, and if you don’t show up and play, you’re going to lose to these teams.” Harrison highlighted the senior class’s leadership, which gave the team an added boost, including Lewis and another Division I commit, Addy Wilson.

“It will be a stretch, but I have faith we can do it,” Loreti said. Campagno is one of the patients who has stepped in to help Iris. She is hosting Mahj in Full Bloom on Oct. 27 and has raised more than $7,000 for Iris through the event. Mahj in Full Bloom will be hosted at Iris, 7820 Roswell Road.

The 2027 World Cup will be held in Rosemont, Ill. Wilson said it was a full-circle moment to be selected to a team alongside players she idolized, even one she did a project on in elementary school. Harrison said Wilson’s experience has brought the Titans to another level. “She’s reading things on the field three or four steps before they happen, which is something you love from a player that’s already physically talented,” he said. “She gets that from playing in all these different levels, playing baseball, playing softball, playing at the elite level. She comes with a lot of stuff you don’t teach — she just shows up.” On senior night, the junior class got to tell the seniors how much their leadership has meant to the team.

After Toro’s remarks, Medley opened with a cut ribbon, cheers and confetti. Visitors like Mary Jo Allen and Karen Gerber wasted little time before beginning to explore. Within an hour, the friends toted shopping bags filled with freshly made pastries and gifts for family. “It’s free entertainment,” Allen said. “All you have to do is walk around.” Gerber agreed. “And it’s close,” she added. The 43-acre property’s first phase includes 145,000 square feet of walkable retail and restaurant space as well as 110,000 square feet of office space, 340 rental homes, 133 for-purchase townhomes and a 25,000-square-foot plaza. A Trader Joe’s there opened months earlier. Backed by a $90 million construction loan, Medley’s second phase, Encore, broke ground in April and is slated to be completed in 2027. It will add an additional 408 luxury multifamily homes and 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. A hotel developed and operated by Mainsail Lodging & Development is expected to open in 2028. Several years in the making, the project brings trendy dining, shopping, hospitality, residential and office offerings to the heart of Johns Creek. The $560 million development sits on a former State Farm corporate campus inside the city’s Town Center district, which also hosts the newly opened Boardwalk outdoor recreation and community gathering space. City officials have said they envision Medley, Town Center and The Boardwalk as the start of an exciting new future for the heart of the city. “We’re going to make this the third place that Johns Creek has been lacking,” Mayor John Bradberry said at the event. “Today is a pivotal time in the history of our city and our community.”

The city awarded Programmer of the Year to Matthew Graney, the city’s recreation coordinator. “We’re very proud of Matthew, Jen and everyone else from exemplary program providers to selfless volunteers who make Milton Parks and Rec what it is,” Parks and Recreation Director Tom McKleevan said. “This drives us to continue serving and working to find more ways, through our parks and programs, to best serve and benefit our community.” Milton only has five full-time members on its parks and recreation team. McKleevan leads the department and has helped drive progress in recent years. Some of that progress includes an expansion of recreation programs, growth in existing programs, improvements to Milton parks, opening up more green spaces and potentially building a new facility in the Deerfield area. The city said much of that success can be attributed to his colleagues Young and Graney. Young, part of Milton’s team since March 2023, is recognized as one of Milton’s most impactful and reliable contributors, having spearheaded several outdoor recreation programs, led the naturefocused Wildlife 101 podcast, and ensured the upkeep of the nature trails and parks. Graney, who has been with Milton since August 2022, is recognized for introducing new recreational programs while working side by side with those already in place. During his tenure, Milton has offered more activities and opportunities for everyone, from infants, as part of the Baby + Me program, through teens and up to senior citizens.

Dining and drinks Medley has 20 eateries ranging from fast-casual restaurants and bars to upscale dining. STIR, located at the edge of Medley’s outdoor event space, features an upscale-casual American and seafood menu. The restaurant has patio seating,

Visitors stroll through Medley after its ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 29. an indoor-outdoor bar and wide windows that open during nice weather. “The dining experience is … very lively, outgoing, energetic,” said Kevin McDevitt, service manager. Menu items include roast beef melts, marinated hand-cut sirloin steak frites, seared tuna, shrimp scampi, fresh oysters and more. The restaurant’s name comes from its premium cocktail list, which features, among other highlights, espresso martinis, elderflower sours and old-fashioneds. Ice is made in house with a special directional plate freezer that makes two crystal-clear 300-pound blocks at a time. Local shops and self-care Medley also offers numerous high-end shops as well as beauty and wellness businesses. Visitors can curate their looks at The Commodore barbershop, the Sugarcoat beauty bar or the BODYROK Pilates studio. They can also pick up clothing, gifts, jewelry and books at a number of retailers. Carolyn Gordon, owner of Moop’s Boutique, said her shop specializes in European-chic apparel and accessories. “It has more of a quirky, preppy, but very sophisticated style,” she said. “And it’s classic, so it doesn’t really go out of style.” Gordon said her business moved from Alpharetta after doing business there for 10 years.

Nicole Lee, an area therapist, said she was doing an “hour of self-care” by spending some time perusing Moop’s clothing during her lunch break. She said she was impressed with the eclectic fashions on display, something she said big-box stores often fail to deliver. “If it’s a small, more boutique store, I might have a piece that if I wear it out with some friends … people will be like, ‘Oh, that looks new. Where did you get that?’” she said. If you go Medley is located at 11650 Johns Creek Parkway at the intersection of Johns Creek Parkway and McGinnis Ferry Road.

Continued innovation in digital media has changed the ways in which people buy, sell and interact with products and services. It has caused businesses to reassess the ways in which it communicates with potential customers and advertises its products. It has been well documented that these changes have had a destructive impact on local newspapers, which continues to be a primary source for local news, but is no longer a primary source for local advertising dollars – historically the lifeblood for reporters and their coverage.

THE APPEN PRESS CLUB

One solution is the creation of a membership driven organization called the Appen Press Club that is dedicated to recruiting people and companies to join as members. Members pay recurring monthly or annual dues that are 100% dedicated to sustainable journalism. By providing predictable revenue, Appen Press Club members and partners help fund the salaries and expenses of local reporters who will no longer be subject to the whims of marketing budgets and an ever changing advertising world. In turn, those reporters will provide the readers they serve with highly researched and qualified journalism focused on subjects that directly affect their quality of life.
