Jail fire causes lockdown, injures deputies

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Four Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office deputies were hospitalized Jan. 9 after a fire broke out at 5 p.m. at the county jail.

The fire occurred in a mechanical or laundry room in the basement of the detention center and was quickly controlled by the four deputies and extinguished as soon as the Forsyth County Fire Department arrived, according to Division Chief Jason Shivers.

“This was on the bottom floor so the heat causes the smoke to rise,” Shivers said. “With ventilation systems in a building like the jail, which is a unique structure, that smoke is going to get pulled throughout the facility until the ventilation system can be shut down.

That spread was fairly significant. It’s not necessarily obscuring your view but it’s rancid.”

POLICE BLOTTER All crime reports published by Appen Media Group are compiled from public records. Neither the law enforcement agencies nor Appen Media Group implies any guilt by publishing these names. None of the persons listed has been convicted of the alleged crimes.

Nearly $20K in jewelry reported stolen from home FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — After returning from vacation, a family discovered more than $18,000 worth of jewelry stolen from their home.

The family arrived to their home off Georgetown Circle and found the house ransacked. The backdoor glass was broken. The homeowner said he doesn’t have an alarm system. The items missing included a $6,200 Cartier watch, $5,000 Omega watch, $5,000 Baume Mercier watch, three gold earring sets for $900, two gold rings at $200, a $300 gold bracelet, various cash and earrings.

The fire department had to get the ventilation systems back up and running after they shut it down during the fire to disperse the smoke and get it outside.

Cause of the fire is still unknown, but it generated significant smoke which spread throughout the facility.

The deputies were treated for smoke inhalation and released later that night.

No inmates were hurt or near the area of the incident and were checked out by jail nurses. The building was put immediately on lockdown, according to Corporal Doug Rainwater. There are roughly 270-280 inmates at the jail at any time. “(They go into lockdown) so there is no movement with the inmates,” Rainwater said. “You think you have a fire in the basement, but you have to make sure it’s contained in the basement before you do anything else in any other space.”

A fire broke out Jan. 9 in the basement laundry room at the county jail, hospitalizing 4 deputies. The cause of the fire is still unknown.

Parking lot accident leads to gun fight

Police arrest drivers clocked at 100 mph

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — After a man backed into another person’s car, he allegedly pointed a gun at the offended party when confronted.

The suspect in the incident reportedly backed into a Ford Explorer in a parking lot on Old Atlanta Road.

When the driver of the Explorer confronted the suspect, the man remained in his car, exchanged words, picked up a handgun, cocked it and pointed it at his accuser’s face. Then he drove away.

A witness saw the incident.

The address of the suspect was obtained because he had to sign in to get to the parking lot. A few photographs were pulled from the security video, also, which showed the suspect’s face, car and license plate number.

The Explorer driver did not wish to make an accident report.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Two drivers were arrested recently after exceeding 100 mph on Ga. 400.

A 23-year-old was arrested after she was found going 100 mph on Ga. 400 northbound.

Deputies received complaints about the speeding car and found her after she made erratic lane changes at high speed. The deputy paced the car from Buford Highway to Pilgrim Mill Road.

She was arrested for reckless driving and speeding.

A second 23-year-old woman was arrested that same night for driving 117 mph on Ga. 400 southbound near Majors Road.

She said she just got the vehicle and was testing it out. She was arrested for reckless driving and speeding.

Winter UV Eye Protection

By Claire Marsh Milan Eye Center

Many people think of sunglasses as a summer accessory. However, while sunglasses may be stylish, they are not merely a fashion accessory, and they are not just meant to be worn in the summer. Studies show that sun exposure, regardless of the season, may increase the risk of developing cataracts, snow blindness, and growths on the eyes, including cancer. Therefore, it is important to protect your eyes from UV radiation year-round by wearing appropriate eye gear.

Protect Your Eyes This Winter

Even if you know you should be wearing sunglasses year-round, you may not think to grab a pair when it is cloudy outside, and it certainly is not the first thought most people have when there is snow on the ground. However, you should make protecting your eyes a priority no matter the weather. Exposure to UV radiation can be high even on cloudy days, and sun reflecting off snow can be especially harsh on your eyes.

The risk of UV damage is particularly high for skiers and snowboarders. If you plan on skiing or snowboarding this winter, you should take extra precautions for a couple of reasons. First, excessive exposure to UV light reflected off snow can damage the eye’s front surface called the cornea, which can lead to a variety of serious conditions. Second, exposure to UV radiation increases with elevation. We recommend that you check your sunglasses and ski goggles to make sure they contain proper UV protection.

It is important to realize that not all eyewear is made equally. When shopping for sunglasses, for example, you should consider the following factors.

• 100% UV Protection: Always look for the sticker or tag with the percent of UV protection on it, and choose a pair that blocks out 100% of UV rays. According to a 2014 study by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, fewer than half of people buying sunglasses bother to check whether the lenses protect from ultraviolet light. This is bad news, because wearing sunglasses without UV protection is more dangerous than not wearing sunglasses at all. When you do not wear sunglasses, you are forced to squint, and your pupils constrict, which limits the light getting in and provides your eyes with at least some protection. When you wear sunglasses without UV protection, they shade your eyes, which causes your pupils to dilate, letting in significantly more harmful light than if you were to skip the sunglasses altogether.

• The Bigger the Better: The more coverage your sunglasses provide, the less exposure to harmful rays your eyes receive. For the best coverage, consider buying oversized or wraparound–style glasses, which help block out UV rays entering from the side.

• Darker is not safer: Darker lenses do not protect better against UV rays. Instead of focusing on the darkness of the lenses, focus on the percentage of UV protection.

• Polarized lenses cut glare, not UV: Polarization does not reduce UV exposure, but it can still make you safer by reducing glare, which makes activities like driving and being on the water safer and more enjoyable.

• Color Does Not Matter: Color does not make a difference in terms of UV protection. However, while colored lenses do not block out more sun, they can increase contrast, which can come in handy for athletes who play sports that require aim and precision.

• They Don’t Have to Be Expensive: When it comes to sunglasses, expensive does not necessarily mean better. Less expensive pairs that are 100% UVblocking can be just as effective as their pricier counterparts.

With all of this in mind, it is time to check out your own sunglasses to make sure they are protecting you from UV rays. Once you have a pair you can rely on, make sure you leave them somewhere where you will not forget them on your way out the door.

County floats plan to consolidate with Cumming Measure sparked by comments from legislator

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County is considering consolidating with the city of Cumming to reduce government overlap, redundancy of services and to provide relief for taxpayers.

At its Jan. 9 work session, the County Commission discussed sending a resolution calling for the local delegation to the General Assembly to introduce legislation proposing the action.

This would only be a request, nothing binding by the county.

In two weeks, the board will bring the topic back to discuss more in depth after holding meetings with various stakeholders.

County Attorney Ken Jarrard said

the idea was initially suggested by state Sen. Michael Williams during a recent local legislative breakfast.

“That was evidence there might be some support by some members of the local delegation, Senate or House,” Jarrard said.

Board members spoke to other consolidated governments in the state to see what worked or didn’t work for them.

Those include the city of Macon and Bibb County, which consolidated in 2012, the city of Columbus and Muscogee County in 1971 and the city of Athens and Clark County in 1990.

The resolution anticipates a law calling for a referendum among residents. The measure would first ask Cumming residents whether they favor consolidation with Forsyth County.

Then, a separate question would ask all county residents to vote on the proposal, giving those who live in the city two votes.

Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills

The thing that bothers me is we are asking for consolidation rather than having a detailed plan of what that looks like.”

LAURA SEMANSON Forsyth County Commissioner

said it took Macon-Bibb 75 years to consolidate so this won’t happen overnight.

The measure could be derailed, however, if the proposed city of Sharon Springs succeeds in its effort to incorporate first. The community includes about a quarter of the county’s popu-

lation.

To gauge community interest, the county is considering asking both political parties to conduct a non-binding straw poll for Cumming residents in May. Cumming Mayor Troy Brumbalow said he was open to the vote but didn’t think city voters would approve a consolidation.

Commissioner Laura Semanson said this opportunity has existed when the initial proposed Sharon Springs came out years ago. But now, she said the proposed consolidation is a way to find an alternative to Sharon Springs.

“The thing that bothers me is we are asking for consolidation rather than having a detailed plan of what that looks like,” Semanson said. “I don’t know that we’ve had enough internal discussion to decide how that looks and what all the implications are. We are making a huge assumption and jump.

I’m not saying it’s not the right thing.

I’m saying we rushed this.”

Cumming Council proposes disbanding Fair Authority

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — During its inaugural 2018 work session, the Cumming City Council discussed a multitude of topics, but spent much of its time on the Cumming Fair Authority.

At the Jan. 9 meeting, the mayor and City Council directed the city attorney to draft an ordinance to dissolve the Cumming Fair Authority and then appoint an advisory Fair Board to make recommendations to the City Council.

The city would own the Fairgrounds property and control the fair budget.

The draft ordinance would be presented at a future meeting.

For the past couple of months, members of the current and past City Council have made their opinions on the topic clear.

Since the council’s November meeting, the former mayor, H. Ford Gravitt, said there had been a lot of hoopla regarding the Cumming Fairgrounds and Cumming Fair Authority.

At that meeting, the City Council voted to transfer all income from the 2017 Cumming Country Fair & Festival – a little over $1 million – to the Fair Authority which operates the Fair-

grounds.

Some have alleged the city gets no revenue from the fair and has no say in how it is operated. Instead, the Authority, partly made up of current and former city officials, gave themselves control of BRUMBALOW the Fairgrounds.

At his inauguration, current Mayor Troy Brumbalow said dissolving the Authority was one of his short-term goals.

“It’s my opinion that the way the Fair Authority is set up now, for the city to get ownership back for the Fairgrounds we’d have to dissolve the Fair Authority,” Brumbalow said. “My recommendation is to set up a Fair Board after that and appoint members at another meeting from recommendations by the Council.”

Brumbalow said dissolving the current Authority wouldn’t prohibit them from setting up another one with a different makeup.

“The Fair and Fairgrounds need to be controlled by the people who are elected,” he said. “They’re the ones who are accountable to the citizens. But a Fair Board could serve a lifetime and make recommendations. They just won’t have all the authority as to what

It’s my opinion that the way the Fair Authority is set up now, for the city to get ownership back for the Fairgrounds we’d have to dissolve the Fair Authority.”

goes on.”

Any contracts the Authority has with outside businesses would also be dissolved, which would be the “cleanest” way to regroup the Authority and its duties.

School board mulls proposed bond projects

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County Schools is finalizing its next slate of bond projects.

Since 1993, 31 schools have been built from the bonds including two opening this year. Five bonds have been passed from 1992 to 2014.

Last year, three bond issues were retired that helped build 16 schools.

There have also been five Special Purpose Local Option Sales Taxes passed from 1997 to 2016.

Now, the district is determining its 2019-22 capital improvement projects

To view a complete list of projects based on school, visit: http://bit.ly/2ExUPzV. for the 2018 bond by using feedback collected from the strategic planning survey/focus groups, and from school and district administrators.

The total bond is estimated at just under $300 million with $323 million worth of improvements but $28 million estimated state funding.

As with the 2014 bond, the financing for this bond is structured to not increase

the bond debt millage rate as long as the next SPLOST is extended by voters.

Planning began in May 2017 and later this month the board will vote on the final list of projects. Then on May 22, the public will have the chance to vote.

Some of the biggest bond draft projects include technology at $17 million, transportation at $13 million, college and career readiness at $3.5 million, school safety at $2 million and elementary STEM at $500,000. Remaining funds will be used for new schools/land and maintenance.

Some of the highlights for the 2018 bond are four proposed new schools, including Pooles Mill Elementary

School, another elementary school, another middle school and East Forsyth High School.

West Forsyth High School will receive classroom additions and there will be updates to the Academies of Creative Education Performing Arts Center.

Additionally, funding will go toward air conditioning buses, maintenance items at schools, replacing high school stadium turfs and creating a parking deck at the Alliance Academy of Innovation.

Currently, enrollment is nearly 48,000 and is expected to increase to 55,900 by 2022 when the capital improvement projects would cease.

Georgia school chief: Focus on child, not tests

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA — Georgia School Superintendent Richard Woods is focusing on educating the entire child, not just concentrating on testing for the nearly two million students in public education in the state.

“That has to come first and foremost,” Woods said. “There needs to be a paradigm shift in how we address education. Everything used to always be about the test. At the end of the day, our conversation has to be about the child. That’s something I’m relentless at. We need to begin to work and fight for them to make sure we give them the

very best education opportunity they can receive in Georgia.”

He spoke about testing and more at a recent media symposium on the state of public schools in Georgia.

“Since I came on board, standardized testing was kind of a big issue,” Woods said. “We over tested on high stakes exams and had an overemphasis on testing during instruction time.

Testing is a part of the process of education, but it is not the whole process of education. I looked at the purpose of why we test, how we test and how the test was used.”

In the future, the state will be pursuing flexibility testing, he said. To do that, he said a taskforce is being created to look at testing and to figure out what options are best for the state moving forward.

He doesn’t think testing should

go completely away.

Rather the focus should be on test quality instead of quantity. Testing can be a good indicator of how the child is doing during the year, measure growth and allow teachers to address WOODS learning as it’s going on, he said.

“It’ll be an uphill struggle,” he said.

“As long as I’ve been in education, roughly 25 years, even as a student this end-of-the-year type testing has been the norm. I think we’ve reached the saturation point with that and hopefully will see the process move forward quickly.”

The market-based scenario calls for several different transit options in Fulton County.

Countywide transit proposal narrows to 4 options

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Fulton County residents have the opportunity in the coming weeks to add their voice for the future of local transit.

Four scenarios for the future of transit were presented Jan. 10 in Roswell in the first of the final series of open houses to gauge public interest and support.

Out of 40 original options presented 18 months ago, consultants have narrowed the list to four, based on public priorities, population density and employment density. Fourteen cities are participating in this joint effort.

“What’s interesting is that the pri-

ority order isn’t that different if you live in North Fulton or South Fulton,” said Kimley-Horn Urban Designer and Planner Eric Bosman. “People want faster, more reliable mobility. They want an alternative to sitting in their car on Ga. 400, or 285 or 85 and do that in a way that connects people to employment.

Those are the top two priorities.”

Planners looked at seven options for transportation, not just heavy rail or buses. They also considered newer technology such as light rail, arterial rapid transit, bus rapid transit in special express lanes or along major corridors, and flex or microtransit.

Go into almost any internet comment thread or chat room and you’ll inevitably find someone policing someone else’s word usage.

“Got ‘em!” I can almost hear them JULIA GROCHOWSKI cry. “You’re using Reporter julia@appenmediagroup.com ‘like’ wrong. So, your argument is invalid. Also, you’re dumb.”

As if language isn’t made up of a bunch of arbitrary rules.

Language is a tool. And we use tools, we don’t let tools use us. If our lawnmower or computer breaks or becomes outdated, we (usually) don’t keep using it forever inefficiently. We fix it or get a new one. Otherwise, it eventually dies on us.

Much in the same way, we keep “fixing” or adding to the English language.

The rise of the internet and technology has birthed a whole slew of new words and new meanings that have become necessary in everyday conversation to be understood.

Words that didn’t even exist a few decades ago, like “blog,” “google,” “mashup” and the increasingly popular “bitcoin,” are now mainstays in most people’s vocabulary. Likewise, words like “meme,” “spam” and “browser” have taken on new meanings in today’s culture that sometimes completely eclipse their original definition.

Or going even farther back, we can thank the French for “hotel,” “elite” and “debut,” and Shakespeare for “arch-villain,” “uncomfortable” and “swagger.”

Few people bat an eye when such words are added to the dictionary or are tweaked with a secondary meaning.

After all, it’s so much easier to just say “emoji” in a conversation instead of “small picture in an electronic message depicting x” or “that weird smiley face” every time. It’s just more accurate. It keeps everyone on the same page.

Yet, there’s always someone who gets up in arms about the addition of “cisgender,” “alt-right,” “dabbing,” or even “LOL” to the dictionary.

Somehow, these words are ruining the English language. They’re not “real” words.

But people are using them, and they need to be understood. That’s what the dictionary is for – to help define things, regardless of any political controversy that may surround them. (People can also quibble over how, exactly, a word is defined, but that’s a whole other conversation.)

Language evolves, and that’s OK. My favorite example is “literally.”

Increasingly, people are using it as a metaphor or an intensifier instead of in a strict sense.

The student didn’t actually die when they said the test “literally” killed them, but it’s understood in popular context that the test was really difficult for them. That doesn’t mean they were using the word incorrectly.

It just has a secondary meaning now, similar to how a “crane” can be both a bird and a piece of heavy machinery.

These changes are a sign that the English language is living and adapting.

That’s the beauty of it.

Besides, literally every dictionary lists both meanings these days.

County to allow alcohol at special park events

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com

SPECIAL

Forsyth County Procurement Director Donna Kukarola was presented with the Manager of the Year Award for 2017 from the Georgia Chapter of the National Institute of Public Procurement.

Forsyth Procurement Director recognized as Manager of the Year FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — During the Dec. 21 Board of Commissioners’ meeting, Forsyth County Procurement Director Donna Kukarola was presented with the Manager of the Year Award for 2017 from the Georgia Chapter of the National Institute of Public Procurement. Kukarola was the recipient of the NIGP Manager of the Year Award in 2013 as well as the group’s Outstanding Service award in 2011.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Those seeking to serve alcohol at local events now have two venues from which to choose.

The County Commission voted at its work session Jan. 9 to allow limited special events with alcohol sales at Eagle’s Beak and Chattahoochee Pointe parks.

After the county hosted its family fun day last spring, the idea to host more events where alcohol is allowed was raised, according to county Parks and Recreation Director Jim Pryor.

“Right now, the only permit we are able to give for alcohol sales is in the Sawnee Mountain Visitor Center,” Pryor said. “It was approved five years ago and is $1,000 per event for the permit.

We have not sold any of those since it came about.”

Commission Chairman Todd Levent said some of the local charities have asked about different types of events they could host at county parks.

Some of the events can draw thousands of attendees and feature live music, so an open space is needed with grass,

ample parking and no issues with noise.

“They thought maybe if they had an art or music festival they would also want to mix up a beer festival for charity fundraisers,” Levent said. “And we don’t allow it. So I asked (Pryor) to bring it to the Parks and Recreation board to see what they think.”

Their thoughts were supportive of granting alcohol permits at the parks on a case-by-case basis or for special events.

“They believe this encourages organizations to provide events in our parks, thus engaging the community,” Pryor said. “However, they also recommended no Parks and Recreation or county resources be used to operate the event, but instead private groups going through the permitting process.”

Fowler Park is one of the county’s more popular spots, but Pryor said it only had one weekend a year open and it’s the county’s family festival.

“All the other times you can’t have a major event at that park with everything else going on,” he said.

Forsyth County is a drug-free campus and has designated spaces at parks for smoking.

Sheriff’s Office new director of

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — When 2018 began for Maj. Deeann Cash, she found herself in the Forsyth County Jail. She was not in trouble with the law. Rather, she is the new director of jail operations.

Cash joined the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office staff from the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office where she started in 1986. She worked her way up from deputy in the jail, crime scene unit investigator and eventually to major.

She kept going back to work in the more than 1,900 bed Clayton County Jail until she retired last November.

“Originally I thought when I left Clayton County I’d be done,” Cash said.

“But in early June 2017, I met Major Thomas Patton who works here and we started talking. It went from there and it was an awesome opportunity that was handed to me.”

With her new job, she will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the nearly 300 inmates and programs.

“I love the corrections side of this,” Cash said. “Growing up, I always wanted to be in law enforcement. As I got older, my goals changed. I liked corrections and that part of the sheriff’s office. I like making sure the sheriff’s mission is being upheld.”

It’s important the inmates are being treated fairly, she said.

“They aren’t running the place,” Cash said. “It’s not our job to punish them, but the court’s job.”

The difference in jail sizes is less stressful, she said. She hopes the inmates can learn from being at the jail, and hopefully won’t come back. Her daily goal is for everyone to go home safe.

“But there are new ideas I want to bring, like more structure,” Cash said.

“This is a great opportunity for the inmates to learn respect while they’re here. We’ll be respectful to them and they have to be respectful to us. They can follow the rules or face the consequences of not getting the same privileges. They’ll still get their rights.”

She’d like to create programs to help the inmates prepare to the time they leave the jail.

“I’d like to have programs that can teach them skills for what they can do once they’re out of here,” Cash said.

“I’d like to find a place for people to go when they leave who come in going

A jail can’t be run from an office, she said, so she goes down frequently to check on what’s happening.

“If someone’s mother calls up here, I want to be able to say I know exactly what they’re talking about and what happened,” Cash said. “I have no problem going down there. You have to.

That’s how you know your jail is clean and your officers are doing their jobs.

You lead by example.”

Hotel, conference center at Avalon open for business $125 million project geared to attract conventions, events

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – If it is anything, the new Hotel at Avalon is a plush complement anchoring what has become one of Alpharetta’s biggest shopping and entertainment attractions.

The 330-room hotel and conference center opens this week with an eye to become the premiere hot spot for the Technology City of the South.

With all the opulence one can safely place inside a building and still call it “Southern,” the Hotel at Avalon already has created a stir. Bookings stretch into 2021, including in excess of 13,000 room reservations and 135 events scheduled.

The $112 million project is a partnership that includes Stormont Hospitality Group, Long Wharf Capital, North American Properties and the city, with assistance from the Development Authority of Fulton County and the Alpharetta Convention & Visitors Bureau. The conference center is a joint operation between the hotel and the Alpharetta Development Authority.

The hotel incorporates much of the best the South has come to offer, from its South City Kitchen to its lavish suites.

“We want you to feel like when you come in here, you’re in a Southern home,” said Stephanie Kannady, the hotel’s director of sales and marketing.

Even the entrance has a flair for

The Hotel at Avalon lobby is brightly lit with white leather furnishings designed to welcome visitors. the traditional, with an arched, woodslat ceiling painted in haint blue – a treatment employed throughout the Old South to ward off evil spirits.

There are other subtle references to the area’s roots – the equestrian-themed drawings that adorn the walls, for example.

Still, the hotel holds firm to its billing as a key destination for business and pleasure, with all the amenities business travelers have come to rely on, including executive board rooms, business suites and fitness facilities.

There is also something for vacationers looking to spoil themselves, with plush carpeting, a grand pool and patio and a lobby that resembles a well-lit

lounge. The “front desk,” by the way, is anything but in the front. It is more toward the back of the lobby.

South City Kitchen, the fourth location for one of Atlanta’s premiere restaurants, will offer something unique to its Avalon restaurant – breakfast.

Executive chef David Gross said he plans to bring the elegant Southern fare associated with the other locations to Avalon. He said he also plans to focus on healthy, light fare with plenty of fresh, baby vegetables.

“It’s going to be great for the Northside,” he said.

owns South City Kitchen, said he plans to make the bar at his Avalon location a special drawing place all its own. He is keying on his bourbon selection, especially, providing customers with a special offering that has been casked in wine barrels. The result, he said, will provide a high-quality beverage with the hints of fruit from the barrels.

Adjoining the hotel is what the city hopes will put Alpharetta on the map for business travel.

The Alpharetta Conference Center offers 44,000 square feet of flexible event space, including 10,000 dedicated square feet of exhibit space.

Vanita Vaswani, director of group sales and events, said the facility can accommodate groups from as few as 10 to more than 3,000.

The main exhibition hall, Skelton Hall, measures over 10,000 square feet and is equipped with 100 rigging points on the ceiling to accommodate audio/ visual and other top-mounted displays.

Over to the side is the elliptical Hagood Reception Room, a 2,200-squarefoot space with walls covered in living plants. The room can hold as many as 326 for dinners and receptions.

Even more impressive, albeit less interestingly shaped, is the elegant Teasley Ballroom, which includes six salons and covers more than 10,000 square feet. More than half a dozen meeting and conference rooms dot the edges of the first floor.

A study commissioned by the city determined that a hotel/conference center would bring in almost $23.5 million in visitor spending, generating 545 jobs with more than $15.7 million in earnings and over $51.3 million in total economic output annually.

Forsyth County considers setting building height restrictions

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County is taking a deeper look into its building height requirements after adopting its Comprehensive Plan last summer.

The 2017-37 plan serves as the county’s long-term policy guide and strategy for future growth and development and identifies how the county and its residents would like to see Forsyth evolve over time. It includes guidance for future development, identifying priorities for the near future and a fiveyear action plan to set everything in motion.

The plan includes a community character map which creates a location-based vision for the county by defining appropriate growth and development policies. It includes 11 character

When the character areas were created, the idea behind them was to guide growth, not just the amount of growth but the character, scale and intensity.”

VANESSA BERNSTEIN-GOLDMAN Forsyth County Deputy Director of Planning and Community Development areas and 13 nodes that “respect and reflect each area’s unique role in the county based on its character, location and history.”

At its Jan. 9 work session, the County Commission heard from county Deputy Director of Planning and Community Development Vanessa Bernstein-Goldman.

She said the performance standard modification is based on a concept plan

of non-character areas and are tied to the location.

“When the character areas were created, the idea behind them was to guide growth, not just the amount of growth but the character, scale and intensity,” Bernstein-Goldman said. “In the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan, we wanted to turn to the guide to see what’s appropriate for the areas of the county rather than have a countywide

Convention and Visitors Bureau launches new, improved website ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta’s Convention and Visitors Bureau has launched a new website reflecting Alpharetta’s innovative and tech savvy reputation.

“We are excited about the new design and feel of our website,” said Janet Rodgers, president and CEO of the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“We made sure we provided a new level of ease and confidence that our loyal customers expect while adding attractive new features to enhance our site so that we can continue to attract new audiences.”

The new website design and features will allow the Alpharetta CVB to continue to promote the city of Alpharetta as a destination of choice and has been developed with the latest destination marketing industry best practices. Users will find valuable tourism information and vivid imagery to both highlight key components of the community and showcase Alpharetta in an authentic and compelling way. The site instantly provides today’s travelers with all the relevant information they need to stay, eat, play, or meet in Alpharetta.

Every item on the website includes a map link that provides directions to the point of interest and works easily on mobile devices.

standard tied to each district.”

Currently, there is a performance standard table the county follows to determine building height requirements. If these changes progress, those requirements would be taken out and replaced with the suggestions. Many of the suggested height limits are on the “lower end,” but some preexisting buildings already exceed those suggestions.

The definition and limit of the building stories are something that will be looked at, she said.

There can be some variation across jurisdictions as to what constitutes a story. She said her staff will look into that element and come back with a draft.

If builders have a specific look that doesn’t necessarily fit the requirements, she said they can always ask for a variance.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Perimeter North Medical Associates in Alpharetta and Atlanta have welcomed a new board-certified and fellowship-trained endocrinologist.

How to identify a sick tree It’s easy to miss when a tree is growing sick. Most tree health problems grow slowly, with little visible difference from one day to the next, until leaves change colors or the canopy begins to thin. The longer it takes to spot problems, the more likely the tree’s illness will become serious enough that it needs to be removed. However, if you can catch the signs early and call for an arborist, it may be possible to

TREE SERVICE

treat the sickness or damage and save the tree. Keep an eye out for these common signs of trouble: • Look for wilting or oddly-colored leaves, either along one or two limbs or all over the tree.

• Check for cracks appearing in primary limbs or even in the trunk of the tree.

• Examine dead branches, which may simply need pruning, but which can also indicate that a tree is in poor health.

• Watch for decaying or hollow spots, especially along the trunk and around the joints of the limbs.

• Look for insect damage, such as chewed leaves, holes made by burrowing bugs, silk webs and nests, and dripping sap or honeydew.

A financial professional How can I protect myself from identity theft? at many life events When might you need the help of a financial professional? Actually, you can benefit from the services of a financial advisor at many life events.

For starters, when you begin your BURNS career, you could use some help in choosing the right investments in your employer’s retirement plan. And when you change jobs, you’ll need to know what to do with that plan.

When you get married, you and your spouse could use some guidance in setting joint goals and establishing appropriate investment strategies.

And if you have children, you can rely on a financial professional to present

you with some college-savings options.

Finally, as you enter retirement, you should know how much you can withdraw each year from your retirement accounts without running the risk of outliving your resources.

And you’ll have questions on when to take Social Security and other key issues.

Most important life events will carry some financial concerns. But you don’t have to face these challenges alone – and by getting the help you need, you can ease the transition from one stage of life to another.

(NAPSI)-While there are many advantages to living in a connected world, the rise in cybercrime poses risks to our personal information. So how can you safeguard this information while enjoying online opportunities to achieve your financial goals?

One important way you can help protect your identity is by regularly reviewing your credit reports. Doing so is not only a responsible habit to begin as you establish your credit history, it can also be a way to identify incomplete or inaccurate information, as well as accounts that may have been opened erroneously.

Data Industry Association. “While lenders and credit-reporting companies have a number of sophisticated security protocols in place to help prevent identity theft and fraud, there may still be instances where a criminal can gain access to your personal information and cause a problem.”

After you receive your credit reports, review them carefully to make sure all the accounts are yours.

If you notice an account that you don’t recognize, or something is not correct, contact the credit-reporting agency as soon as possible to communicate the discrepancy.

You can contact all three nationwide credit-reporting agencies online, by phone or by mail. Whichever method you choose, the credit-reporting agency will investigate disputed information and respond back to you with the results.

In a case of identity theft, the credit-reporting agency will work with you to place a fraud alert on your credit reports that can help prevent erroneous transactions from appearing in the future.

A fraud alert informs creditors that you may have been a victim of fraud, and encourages them to take steps to contact you to verify your identity.

Once a fraud alert is in place, you can choose to remove it at any time online.

Under federal law, fraud alerts are free and are shared among the three credit-reporting agencies.

If you have been a victim of identity theft and false accounts have been opened in your name, you may want to consider a security freeze. A security freeze restricts access to your credit report without your permission and may prevent unauthorized individuals from opening new accounts in your name.

These are free for identity theft victims and, depending on the state, senior citizens as well.

For all other consumers, there may be a fee, based on individual state laws.

Consumers should keep in mind that security freezes aren’t for everyone, especially those who are actively seeking credit or plan to apply for credit in the future, such as for making a large purchase or applying for a loan.

Centennial graduate wins on Jeopardy!

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA — A former Centennial student recently lived the opportunity of a lifetime when she was called to compete in the game show Jeopardy! What’s more, she won over $10,000 in the competition.

Lindsay Resnick, 26, appeared in the Jan. 9 show, beating returning champion Brandon Brooks from Chicago and new contestant Matt Brannagan from Maryland.

“Winning my first game was a complete shock,” Resnick said. “I did not know the response to the Final Jeopardy! clue, so I had to make the best guess I could.”

When she saw what the contestant next to her had written, however, Resnick was able to make an educated guess thanks to her knowledge in history. She able to correctly answer “Letters written by this Roman recount

the events of a natural disaster, like the death of his uncle, a famous scholar,” with “Who is Pliny?”

That answer netted her $3,001, making her total winnings almost double those of her competitors.

Resnick went on to a second round, but ultimately lost against Gilbert Collins, a new contestant from New Jersey.

Still, Resnick said, “I was so excited to have won a game and to be able to call myself a Jeopardy! champion.”

Resnick graduated from Centennial High School in 2009 and then went on to attend both Georgia Tech and Georgia State University. Both of her degrees specialize in history. She now works as an archivist for the Breman Museum in Midtown and as a teen program coordinator for the Jewish Community Center in Dunwoody.

“My experience on Jeopardy! was the greatest of my life,” Resnick said. “I am so grateful to have had the opportunity.”

Resnick used to watch the show almost nightly, when she saw an ad to take a Jeopardy! online test.

She said she took the test “on a whim,” but a few months later, in April 2015, she was called in to audition in Savannah.

After the audition, she did not hear back until September 2017, when a producer asked her to appear on the show.

The next few months became a flurry of studying strategy and watching old Jeopardy! episodes.

“I was so out of practice,” Resnick said. “I had stopped watching the show for a while after graduating from grad school… The next month was incredibly hectic for me.”

But the whole experience has been incredibly enriching, she added. And her favorite part of the process was making new friends.

“All of us who stayed in the contestant hotel took a shuttle to the studio

sessment to give feedback that’s useful.

“Testing should be a tool not a habit and not a punishment for teachers in schools,” Woods said. “We have to move away from it. I assure people we will be accountable as it’s a part of what we do

but it has to be fair. We must appropriately use tests in a manner that improves education for the student.”

However, not all students learn the same way at the same level or time frame, he said.

“We have students who struggle with education,” Woods said. “The challenge is to try to move all students at the same level and same time. A strong growth component will help that.”

But testing is still a good indication of performance. In Georgia, 61 schools have left the state’s priority and focus list in December 2017 and 74 left in April 2017.

Of the 104 schools on the turnaround-eligible list, 85 improved their

and bonded in cheering for each other and even competing against each other,” Resnick said. “I am so proud of all my new friends from Jeopardy! and so lucky to have gotten to know them.

We now keep in touch over a Facebook chat, and it is a lot of fun. I hope to see them again soon.”

College and Career Ready Performance Index score, with most seeing an increase by five points. Across the board those scores also increased.

For the sixth straight year, the state’s graduation rate is up and above 80 percent with 50 district’s topping 90 percent.

On the ACT, the state outperforms the nation in all content areas. For the SAT, the state tops the nation in reading and writing.

“I don’t take credit for this,” Woods said. “I see teachers, educators and community members coming together.

I give credit to those at the school level and our teachers spending time with these individuals.”

Transit:

Continued from Page 7 includes current and future work patterns, calls for heavy rail extending north along Ga. 400 from Sandy Springs to Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell, and light rail along the northern portion of Ga. 285. It would also include several bus rapid transit lines, including along Holcomb Bridge Road, and arterial rapid transit, including along Old Milton Parkway and Roswell Road. It’s what Bosman and his team recommends, if money were no object.

Heavy rail, however, averages as much as $250 million per mile in cost, while light rail averages $150 million per mile.

The four models are based off of funding realities through a transit sales tax collected over 40 years.

The quarter-cent scenario in North Fulton calls for bus rapid transit along Ga. 400 to Old Milton and along Holcomb Bridge Road. The total estimated cost would be $2.4 billion.

There are two scenarios for funding from a half-cent sales tax, each with a total cost of $4.9 billion.

The heavy rail option would extend the MARTA rail service up Ga. 400 to Holcomb Bride and would continue from Holcomb Bridge to Old Milton with Bus Rapid Transit. Such switches in transportation modes, Bosman cautioned, often loses riders.

The second half-cent scenario pri-

COMMUNITY oritizes bus rapid transit and arterial rapid transit with no heavy rail. It would increase connections along Ga. 400 to Old Milton, Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell Road and Ga. 141.

A fourth option under consideration, dubbed the half-cent plus scenario, is based on the half-cent option but includes all three modes of transportation: heavy rail, bus rapid transit and arterial rapid transit. This model would require a secondary funding source in addition to the half-cent transit sales tax and would cost a total of $7.5 billion. Currently, primary funding for transit comes from taxes. The quarter-cent could begin as soon as spring 2019, while a half-cent sales tax couldn’t begin until 2022.

Roswell’s Director of Transportation Steve Acenbrak said he was impressed and excited about the number of participants at the meeting and their interest in the county’s future.

“There’s been a significant change in people’s attitude toward MARTA,” Acenbrak said. “If you went back several years ago, people would have said, ‘don’t even bother.’ But now, more and more people are walking and biking.

More people want these mobility options.”

The next open house in North Fulton will be held Jan. 23, 6-8 p.m. at the Atlanta Marriott on 5750 Windward Parkway in Alpharetta.

Residents are encouraged to view presentation materials on the options and take a survey for their preferences at fultoncountyga.gov/tmp-home.

North, West Forsyth compete in state dual wrestling championships

North places third overall in 7A

BY JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MACON, Ga. — North Forsyth and West Forsyth competed in the GHSA state team dual wrestling championships Jan. 11-13 in Macon, with the Raiders finishing third overall in Class 7A. A week after winning the area dual championship, the Raiders downed Tift County and Mountain View in the state championships before facing Archer, winner of the state title in four of the past five years.

Against Archer, the Raiders had wins from Paul Watkins, Cole Tenety, and Connor Cross and decisions from Tate Bissell, Connor Carroll, Andrew Legget and Brantley Little. However, the Raiders fell to the perennial powerhouse Tigers, 35-31.

Relegated to the consolation bracket, the Raiders faced Hillgrove.

Carroll, Leggett, Little and Cross again won by fall, enough to power North to a 44-30 win and a spot in the third-place match.

The consolation finals pitted

North against Mountain View for the second time in the tournament. It was also the second straight year the two teams had met in the third-place match, with the Raiders winning 3534 in 2017.

Little, Cross, Bissell, Riley Wheeler Cole Tenety, and Paul Watkins all won by fall, with Will Chavarria earning a crucial three points by decision.

Cross’ win was the 100th of his career.

Those wins allowed the Raiders to down Mountain View, 39-34 to earn a top-three finish for the third straight year at the state championships.

West Forsyth faced a challenging draw in the first round, pitted against eventual state champions Camden County.

The Wolverines’ Dylan Fairchild and Ethan Ricket earned West’s only two victories in the matchup as West fell 63-12.

West took on Brookwood in the first round of the consolation bracket.

Farichild and Ricket again won by fall against the Broncos, with Jack Woodall, Ben Cherry and Adam Galvan also securing wins. But it wouldn’t be enough for the Wolverines as they fell, 49-30.
