Bell Park to reopen in Sept.
Bell Memorial Park is nearing completion. The sod is being placed and fields are done, ready for local teams to begin playing on them. The park is scheduled to open in September.
MILTON, Ga. – Bell Memorial Park, off Thompson Road, is slated to reopen next month after just over a year of construction that has completely remake the space. Work began on the nearly 30-acre park in August 2014. The new park design will have four dedicated baseball/softball fields. There will also be two rectangular fields lined for football and lacrosse. The second field can also be set up as a 200-foot, fifth diamond field. The new park is roughly double to size of the original park. The city bought surrounding land to make the expansion possible. The total cost of the expan-
The new park is roughly double to size of the original park. sion is about $9.9 million. Parks and Recreation Director Jim Cregge notes the new park will be a great addition to the city’s programs. “It’ll be huge,” he said. The park will open in September. —Jonathan Copsey
THE PATH TO CITIZENSHIP »
Milton resident becomes citizen after 29 years in U.S. By JOE PARKER news@northfulton.com MILTON, Ga. - On her 25th wedding anniversary, Milton resident Lisa O’Flynn wanted one thing – for her husband, Conleth, to finally become a U.S. citizen. On the couple’s 26th anniversary, her wish was granted. Conleth O’Flynn, along with 200 others, took his Oath of Allegiance July 24 at the Gwinnett Justice Center. This brought to an end O’Flynn’s 29-year journey toward citizenship. O’Flynn first arrived in this country the summer of 1986 on a work-exchange program
while attending college in Ireland. He and Lisa, an American, met in Boston, married in 1989 and have lived in Milton since 2000. Although films and television portray citizenship as being automatic when marrying a U.S. citizen, this is not factual. According to the Immigration and Nationality Act, marriage to a U.S. citizen allows you to be eligible for permanent resident status (green card holder), not immediate citizenship. After three years of marriage, a permanent resident alien may apply for actualization. “I just waited 26 years,” O’Flynn said.
TUTORING
“It’s always been something I had intended to do,” he said. “My wife said to me, ‘It’d be nice for our 25th anniversary if you became a citizen.’ The country has been good to me, I worked hard and I felt it was time to become a citizen.” For O’Flynn, the decision was not always so easy. “In the early years, one of the things that held me back from becoming a U.S. citizen is you need to pledge allegiance to the U.S. flag and denounce any current allegiances to any other nations or sovereignties. Years ago, I wasn’t ready to do

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A Smyrna father is accused of leaving his young son alone in a car July 18 while he and his girlfriend ate dinner. According to police, the man and his girlfriend were eating dinner at a restaurant in Avalon about 10 p.m. along with his 6-year-old son. The father had custody of his son for the weekend. The son became sleepy and was put into the car in the parking lot while the adults returned to their meal. Then the boy called his mother on his father’s cell phone. He told his mother, his father’s ex-
wife, that he was left alone in the car in a strange place. The mother called 911 who then called the child to confirm the story. The dispatcher said the father returned while he was on the phone with the child and hung up the phone twice before 911 could speak with him. Finally, dispatch was able to speak with him, telling him how dangerous it was to leave a child alone in a car. A few days later, when the boy was returned to his mother, the mother said the father threatened her for calling police on him and allegedly threatened to kill her.

Racers charged with DUI after both wreck MILTON, Ga. – Two men were cited for DUI and racing after both vehicles crashed on Morris Road in Milton July 21. According to witnesses, the two vehicles were racing along Morris Road just after midnight when both lost control. They crossed into oncoming traffic, crossing the curb, hitting trees. One vehicle stopped facing the opposite direction, the other car went off the road, hit a tree and landed upside down. The engine was reportedly torn from the car. Both drivers walked away from the crashes. Speaking to the drivers, police learned both were at a Braves game earlier that night and both worked together. One driver, Jason Edward Cominsky, 43, of Village Green Way, Alpharetta, allegedly said, when challenged to the race, thought, “Oh, I can take him.” Both drivers smelled of alcohol, reported police, and exhibited signs of drinking. Cominksy and the other driver, Joseph Anthony Latour, 23, of Edenham Lane, Cumming, were charged with DUI, failure to maintain lane, racing and reckless driving.
MILTON, Ga. – A Stone Mountain man was arrested July 21 after passing a police barricade and driving on a suspended license. According to police, they had closed part of Morris Road at 1:40 a.m. to deal with an accident. A patrol car was parked in the middle of the northbound lanes with all lights flashing to block traffic. While police were working on the accident, a car approached. The driver, Yasin Daoud Jabbar, 22, of Stone Mountain, allegedly admitted to driving around the police car. He was found to have a suspended license. Jabbar was charged with driving with a suspended license and driving on a closed roadway.
House sitter spied upon MILTON, Ga. – A house sitter had a surprise July 25 when a possible burglar broke in while he was sleeping. The victim told police he was housesitting for residents on Wild Willow Close. He said he locked the doors, turned off all the lights and went to sleep in the master bedroom with the family dog on the bed with him. He said he woke up about 3 a.m. to what he thought was someone cracking open the bedroom door and peeking in. He thought it was a dream so he went back to sleep.
“Please don’t leave a 6-year-old child locked in a car at night while you are at dinner,” pleaded George Gordon with the Alpharetta Public Safety Department. He said any number of hazards could happen to children left unattended. They could have a medical emergency, leave the car or get in other trouble without adults present. “The 6-year-old was bothered enough to call mom from the car,” Gordon said. Gordon said the incident is under investigation and charges, including reckless conduct, may be pending. The following morning, he found a hall light on and the front door open. A basement window also was open. While no valuables were reported taken, some clothes were missing.
A fool-proof plan JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – When stealing a vehicle’s tag, it’s probably a good idea not to park in the same parking lot. A victim told police July 17 he found the temporary license of his vehicle missing. A search of the parking lots around the apartment complex turned up the tag, which had found its way onto another vehicle. This suspect vehicle was unoccupied and was registered to a Bristol Trail address. Employees of the apartment complex said they often saw the vehicle drive through the neighborhood with a young man driving. The tag was returned to the victim.
A hot time on the town ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Two cars were found ablaze July 26 in the parking lot of a Windward Parkway restaurant. Two witnesses called police about 2 a.m. to say they found two cars in the parking lot of Wild Wing Cafe engulfed in flames. The cars, a Toyota Avalon and a BMW, were parked beside each other. One of the car owners was contacted and told police his car, the Avalon,

Alpharetta named ‘Top small city’ to start business NerdWallet puts ‘Tech City’ top in nation By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenemdiagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Alpharetta is the best city in the nation to start a business, according to recent numbers from NerdWallet. The website says Alpharetta topped the list thanks to its ability to attract both large and small companies. The numbers crunched by NerdWallet suggest the city has 15.07 businesses per 100 people. That’s 65 percent more businesses per capita than the national average of 9.14. NerdWallet analyzed 463 places in the U.S., each with at least 500 businesses and a population of 50,000 to 100,000. They determined the overall score by looking at data from the U.S. Census Bureau
to assess each city’s business climate and economic health. The list doesn’t include 25 cities that were missing business survey data. A common trend was that eight of the cities were near large cities, allowing “companies to operate within a smaller, close-knit business community while still having access to cities such as Atlanta, Seattle and Washington, D.C.” They also have strong economies, boasting low unemployment numbers and high average salaries. California has five cities in the top 25 list, with Minnesota and Maryland each having three. NerdWallet took into account the average revenue of the businesses in each city as well as number of businesses

and businesses with paid employees. Unemployment rate, housing costs and annual income are also factors. These numbers were taken from the U.S. Census. Hans Appen, head of the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce, said Alpharetta boasts a high quality of life, good schools, proximity to Atlanta and its airport and a businessfriendly government, all of which play into its ranking. “The city has made great
strides in economic development, not only in the recruitment of new and different types of businesses, but also the growth and retention of existing businesses, in particular small business,” Appen said. “It’s great news,” said Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle. “There is a great environment here from large to small businesses, created through the city.” Last month, Alpharetta was named the best city in Georgia in which to do business, and, before that, was named one of the best places for working families. Belle Isle said that “telling Alpharetta’s story” is a large part of his job, so the wider country knows of the “Technology City of the South” and what it has to offer. That story seems to be gaining traction. “People are starting to see our dot on the map,” he said.

Alpharetta approves new 48-acre mixed use development 191 townhomes, 200 condos at Windward and North Point By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. - In a unanimous vote, the Alpharetta City Council voted July 27 to allow a new development called “Windward Mill,” which would bring a large, mixed-use project to Windward Parkway. Windward Mill would sit on nearly 48 acres of land bordered by Windward Parkway in the north, North Point Parkway in the east, and Morris Road in the south. It includes 31,400 square feet of retail/restaurant, 500,000 square feet of office, one 250-room limited service hotel with 3,000 square feet of meeting space, 25,800 square feet of retail, 191 townhomes, 200 for-sale condominiums and 24 townhomes. It would also include a 3.7acre park and “considerable” green space, said Alpharetta Planner Eric Graves of the project. According to staff, the new plan is a change from a development approved in 2008 that was a higher intensity plan. Townhomes would be built first, on the south of the project, as well as the
infrastructure. After that, the condos and retail and offices would be built over several phases. While the site would largely be cleared of trees and brush before the first phase, the developer said the parcels not yet built would be seeded with grass and kept up until construction could begin. Windward resident Tom Miller, who opposed the development when it was first approved in 2008, approved the new plan. “This is better than the original,” Miller said. “This is a good plan.” Councilmember Donald Mitchell agreed. “This is a better plan,” he said. “This has more green space, and more consistent with what the city is trying to do.” Also at the meeting: An expanded Wire and Wood songwriters festival will occur this fall, as the council approved changing the event from a one-day, free event to a two-day, pay-for-entry event. The move comes a week after a contentious meeting in which the changes were proposed. The new event would model itself after Florida’s 30A
Songwriters Festival. Indeed, Russell Carter, the organizer of 30A, would produce Alpharetta’s new event and take a share of the profits. He said much of the talent playing onstage would be songwriters famous for penning the music of popular artists. “They are not stars in their own right,” he said, “but they write hits for other stars. They will sing songs everyone knows and be able to tell about writing them.” The city would chip in nearly $92,000 for the two-day event, which would take place in downtown Alpharetta. As many as three stages would be set up around downtown for performers, which would be fenced off from the non-paying community. Belle Isle said the ultimate goal is to grow the event and lessen the city’s contribution until it is selfsupporting. Revenue from the event would be shared by both the city and Carter. “It’s going to be a great event,” said Councilmember Mike Kennedy. “I’m uncomfortable with the financial situation, but I reluctantly support this.”

The home of Conleth and Lisa O’Flynn in Milton was littered with flags and Americana in celebration of Conleth’s acceptance as a U.S. citizen July 24.
Citizen: Continued from Page 1 that. I wasn’t ready to say to say goodbye to my birthplace and where I was raised. But now I’ve lived in this country longer than I lived in Ireland and I have raised my own sons here who are now older than I was when I came” to the U.S. O’Flynn, who submitted his application for citizenship in January, said the process is intricate but effective. “You can’t just show up and say ‘I want to be a citizen,’” he said. He said he had to undergo a review of his application, a background check, was in-
terviewed about his personal history, had his biometrics taken, had to study civic and historical facts of the U.S. and was quizzed on such information during his citizenship interview. A week after his interview, he took his Oath of Allegiance. “Out of 200 of us pledging the Oath of Allegiance that day, there were 68 countries represented, from Afghanistan to Vietnam. Sixty-eight countries, which I thought was remarkable” O’Flynn said, noting the process of becoming a citizen “also shows when and why the country was formed and how it was formed with people from all over the world. It looks like it hasn’t changed much since.”

Making a millennial feel old With a new school year starting soon, I wanted to look back and see how students entering kindergarten and high school compare to my generation. I often think anyone near my age, give or take 10 years, had a similar upbringing and comparable experiences. Those of us in the millennial generation ¬– generally, anyone born in the early 1980s to the early 2000s - grew up educating ourselves how to use computers and the Internet because our parents and teachers were also learning at the same time. We are a group of quick learners who are still sometimes stereotyped as lazy or unmotivated. This year’s kindergarteners are not part of my generation. They are members of Generation Z. When the 5-year-olds going to school for the first time this year were born, I was graduating from high school. Their president has always been black, and many of them (because they’re 5) probably don’t understand the significance of that fact. The ninth-graders entering high school were roughly the first round of Generation Z and probably think anything before the year 2000 is ancient. As a child, I had a hard time understanding how people lived without color TV. These kids must have a difficult time imagining how every person in my generation and beyond didn’t have their own iPad or smart phone. By the way, Apple stores didn’t even begin opening until 2001. A lot of these kids haven’t

lived without a GPS built into their phones. Many of these children only recognize the floppy disk icon as a save button and the # symbol simply means “hashtag” to them. They’ve probably also never struggled with having to get offline when trying to make a phone call. As bad of a reputation as millennials sometimes have, Generation Z’s will probably be worse. They’re already stereotyped as “screen addicts” because, growing up, technology has always been abundant and plentiful. It’s unfortunate that they are already burdened with such negative implications. While there are always some who ruin it for the bunch, there’s no doubt that these children will grow up to advance medicine and technology more than any generation before them simply because they know how it all works. They are digital natives, members of the most tech-savvy and connected generation ever. Coming from “the worst generation,” I know how hard it is to be labeled just because of your age. But, for those in the classes of 2019 and 2028, just remember this: Soon you’ll rule the world.

pable and real. When it comes to death itself, most people have no idea what the actual experience is like. We hear people and even professionals say things like, “she may have suffered greatly,” or, “he didn’t feel any pain.” How do they know? Is it possible that they are perpetuating ideas based on learned knowledge rather than experience that we as a species have accepted and now hold deeply in our core belief system? The next time you see an elderly person, try your best to breathe deeply and squash the fear you feel. Greet them warmly or ask them a question, you may be surprised at what they have to say and how it can positively affect your day and even the rest of your life. Don’t respect your elders because someone told you to. Respect them because one day you will be them. Hold the hope that you will feel at peace with yourself and your life at that stage. Hold the hope that people will be genuinely interested in you and the wisdom you’ve gained.
A good mechanic is hard to find It is amazing to consider that we use so many objects on a day-to-day basis and yet possess no knowledge whatsoever of how they work. Like your fridge, for instance. You may know cooling occurs, and I know it has something to do with coils (whatever they are) and yet all I have to do is plug my fridge in and it has the ability to slow the inevitable rotting of my vegetables, keep my meats from turning green and hold my beer at optimal swilling temperature. I have used a fridge every day of my life in one way or another and yet have no clue how it works. For me, the same can be said for cars. I have driven every day for the last decade and still I have no idea how

cars work. In the past, I have talked to mechanics when a car issue arises and it does not take them long to figure out that I couldn’t tell the difference between a transmission and transmogrification. Therefore, I have encountered many mechanics who tell me that, “Your buttress aspergillum needs to be replaced or else it will cause a failure of your ogdoad
piacular.” And because I have no idea what they are saying, I nod my head as if to say “I knew that was the issue!” and pay a ridiculous sum for imaginary fixes. So it has been quite a challenge for me to find a mechanic who will explain the problem in way that I can understand (read: treat me like the mechanical imbecile that I am) and yet not try to dupe me with unnecessary or imaginary fixes. However, I think I may have found just that. Since I purchased my current car two years ago, I have taken it to Express Oil Change & Service Center on Haynes Bridge Road. I have always had a good
experience with that location. They talk to me in dumbeddown language (which I need) and I have never heard the term “buttress aspergillum” thrown around to make a quick buck. And I had no idea just how truly good they were until my car broke down recently in Myrtle Beach. My car overheated, and due to the fact I was in another state, I was forced to take it to a different mechanic. I contacted Haynes Bridge Express to let them know about my troubles and not only did they try to explain the problem to me in elementary terms I could understand, they actually contacted the shop I had taken my car to in an effort to ensure I wasn’t being
scammed. They spent days on the phone with me and the other shop making sure the diagnosis was correct. It turns out that it was. My water pump was bad, and I could use a new timing belt, too, to the tune of nearly a grand out of my pocket. After the repair, Chris, Josh and Rashed of Express made huge efforts to help alleviate the financial blow even though they were not at fault. I am so very thankful for their efforts and all of those at Express on Haynes Bridge for being honest and for providing so much help in my time of need. Sincerely, thank you. And on that note, is anyone interested in buying a VW Jetta? New water pump and timing belt!

25K-square-foot public library opens July 30 By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Alpharetta’s new public library opened July 30 amid all the fanfare one would expect. The new, 25,000-squarefoot building is two stories tall and sits alongside the new City Hall, with a formal garden between them. Meeting rooms, computer areas, teen center, auditorium and, of course, plenty of books are all available. Stephanie Moody, chairwoman of the Library Board of Trustees, said the opening-day collection encompasses 75,000 books and materials. The two-level library creates a defining front porch to the Alpharetta City Center and embraces the parklike setting as it welcomes patrons to the variety of spaces and places within. The two stories of the building both feature public entries, and are connected internally by an open central staircase. The library features convenient access to upper-

When the county began scouting for possible locations for a new Alpharetta library, the city of Alpharetta was just beginning the design of its downtown city center.

Classic couple to be inducted into Georgia Music Hall of Fame By MALIK JONES news@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga.—John Barbe, a celebrated clarinetist and musical composer, will be honored along with his late wife, legendary voice actress and singer Jane Barbe, at the 37th Annual Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards Sept. 26. The couple, who moved to Roswell in 1962, collaborated together for decades, producing music for radio, television commercials and films. John, 88, first picked up an instrument when he was 10 years old in Scarsdale, New York. It was during the Great Depression and the instrument, a clarinet originally meant for his brother, was shared by the boys for a time after their mother purchased separate mouthpieces. Eventually, his brother lost interest and John began to practice with the clarinet full time. He became so good that he started playing with his high school band while in seventh grade. John said music provided him an escape from the monotony of his schoolwork. “They didn’t use this expression back then, but I was bored. They just didn’t teach anything I wanted to learn,
and my grades showed it,” he said with a laugh. “Thanks to the help of one generous science teacher, I graduated high school with two C’s and two D’s.” It was also around this time, toward the beginning of World War II, that John began writing his own musical arrangements and purchased a baritone saxophone to perform, as professional musicians were difficult to find during the war. After graduation, John attended The Julliard School in New York for two semesters before being drafted at 18. While on duty, he spent a year playing clarinet, arranging and conducting with an army band while stationed in Manila. After the war, he returned to New York to complete his education at Julliard. He would go on to perform with Dixieland groups and spend a year at New York’s Roseland Ballroom. He also spent eight years playing baritone saxophone, arranging and road managing jazz big bands in 47 states. Somewhere along the way, he met the love of his life, the soon-to-be Mrs. Jane Barbe. “She was hired by the band director I was working for at the time,” John recalled. “She was perfect.” The couple married, moved to Roswell,
had two children and worked together to produce music for radio, television commercials and films. “She would sing my jingles,” he said. Jane also acted in commercials. However, most of her fame came from her voice work with the phone companies Audichron in 1963 and, later, Octel Communications in the ’70s and ’80s. Jane was recorded announcing the time and weather, and she was the voice behind some of the earliest voice email systems. Jane’s iconic work could be heard around the world, from Hong Kong to the Middle East to Australia. In 2003, Jane lost her battle with cancer. She was 74. John remains an active member of the Southern Winds Concert Band in Roswell. He still composes music and continues to be a source of inspiration for a new generation of musicians. The 37th Annual Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards will be broadcast live at 8 p.m. Sept. 26 on Georgia Public Broadcasting. The event will be held in the Georgia Ballroom at the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta. Tickets for a preshow seated dinner and the awards ceremony are

Milton girl wins USA Gymnastics Championships
MILTON, Ga. — At only 11 years old, Alina Franz has already made a big name for herself after competing and taking home first place All Around, Level 7 Child C age group, at the USA Gymnastics Championships on June 23-24 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Coach Olga Aganesova at the Prima Rhythmic Gymnastics Club in Cumming, trains Alina. She said, after lots of hard work, Alina went confidently into the 2015 competition season. She won first place All Around for her age group at the Georgia State Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships in March. In May, Alina received second place All Around for her age group at the 2015 USA Region 6 Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship in Houston, Texas. Alina also received the second highest score over all participants at the meet and Region 6 paid her entry fee to the USA Gymnastics Championships. Alina performed well in Greensboro, placing first in the rope and ball routines and coming third in floor and clubs routines. She had the highest score over all 69 competitors, some being as old as 15, making her the 2015 Level 7 National Grand Champion. —Malik Jones

Celebrating recovery Cancer survivor takes part in WSB Care-a-Thon By JIM LICHTENWALTER news@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – On July 20 and 21, local radio affiliate WSB held its 15th annual Care-a-Thon. The 37-hour radio program raised $1,565,382 for the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Over the course of the program, a variety of special guests were interviewed by the hosts. One of the guests was 14-year-old Alpharetta resident Chloe Baker, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia just before her 6th birthday in the summer of 2006. ALL is a malignant cancer that attacks a person’s white blood cells and diminishes the population of the cells. “The hardest part was obviously seeing a child’s body being ravaged by cancer,” said Leslie, Chloe’s mother. “Chloe suffered many different ex-
tremes during her treatment.” Yet, despite having such a serious illness at such a young and fragile age, Chloe fought through three years of treatment. Today, she is in remission and is a happily adjusted teenager who is looking forward to beginning high school soon at Roswell High School. She enjoys spending time with her friends, volunteering at animal shelters and doing competitive cheerleading for the Marietta Stingrays. “The people at the hospital really treat you as if you’re family and as though you are at home,” Leslie said. “We had so much support coming. We just stuck together as a family.” Chloe, who has been involved with the WSB Carea-Thon for a number of years, appeared on the program with other cancer survivors to discuss their experiences. “This is great because there was a period of time when we did not think we would reach this point,” Leslie said.

Local World War II hero honored A Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient By CAMERON OSBURN news@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – On July 22, about 20 veterans began singing “America (My Country, ’Tis of Thee)” while a summer thunderstorm rumbled in the distance at The American Legion Post 201 in Alpharetta. The man leading the singing, Pfc. Dale E. Jones, was the reason for the gathering. Jones, a 100-year-old World War II veteran, was being honored by members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. “I’m proud that the government realizes we did something special to earn the Purple Heart,” Jones said. Jones, who served in Germany as a member of the 309th “Lightning” Division of the 78th Infantry, was awarded both the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star after being seriously wounded in the Rhineland. In addition, he received three battle stars for combat par-
ticipation in the Battle of the Bulge, Central Germany and the Rhineland. The veterans gathered around Jones, who was accompanied by his son, Dale L. Jones, and presented him with a brick inscribed with his name, the war he served in, the honors he received and where he currently lives (Cobb County). Jones then told the story of being wounded over 70 years ago as the group of veterans listened intently. He said he was on right-flank protection with a group of 12 as they tried to take a little village in Germany on Feb. 23, 1945, when they were ordered not to hit the ground no matter what, which he said was a hard order to obey, but they “were stupid enough to obey it.” Jones said he could hear bullets flying by before he was eventually hit beneath a rib. He thought he was dying and prayed to survive - not for his sake, he said, but for his family’s. Soon, he realized he just had the wind knocked out of him, so he proceeded to take cover in a German foxhole, using a poncho and lighting a non-toxic “heat pill” to get himself out of

All 12 men covering the right flank with him that day were either wounded or killed obeying their orders, he said. Jones, who will turn 101 in the fall, also sang “Moon River” for the members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart as they thanked him for his service. “I did it as best as I could,” he joked of his singing ability after the ceremony. A resident of a Cobb County senior-living home, Jones enjoys playing cards and chess in his free
time. Membership in the Military Order of the Purple Heart is open to “all persons of good moral character who are awarded the Purple Heart Medal by the government of the United States and are not dishonorably discharged.” There are currently approximately 45,300 members of the veterans’ organization across the country.

Wieland’s Alstead marketing luxury homes in Roswell Putting some punch back on Holcomb Bridge Road By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods has a new bevy of luxury homes in Roswell at Alstead, the 109home community two miles east of Ga. 400 on Holcomb Bridge Road and Eves Road near Centennial High School. It is a return to residential activity on Holcomb Bridge and Vice President of Sales Cindy Krampetz says the public has responded. “It’s a one-of-a-kind club setting,” Krampetz said. “But what we hear most from the people coming in is that they are excited finally to see new homes for sale in such a highactivity area.” Alstead recorded 17 home sales in the first 60 days after
opening mid-May. That far exceeded sales expectations for the first two months. The property is getting 50 visitors a week, which is unusual for a new development, she said. “The feedback we’ve received from a lot of the customers is that there simply aren’t a lot of opportunities to buy new with a large masterplanned community in that area,” Krampetz said. “And they are not likely to have that opportunity again.” The first homes will be ready for occupancy in November. The 30-acre site Wieland is developing is a mixed-use project with 18,000 square feet of commercial property. It will have its own entrance off Eves Road. Krampetz said the shops should add to the walkability of the community.
Alstead will have 29 townhouses and 79 free-standing single-family homes. Homes start from the $400,000s. Keying in on Roswell’s penchant for greenways, Alstead will have its own walking trail system crowned by what Krampetz says is the property’s “iconic” hilltop park. “It will have a resort-style pool and open-air cabana and fire pit. There is an amphitheater lawn with the walking paths that wind through and around it,” she said. “The entire property was designed around the big hill and has these trails wind around to the top of the hill that commands some pretty spectacular views of Roswell.” Krampetz said a unique feature of the homes is the rear courtyards that allow a lot of outdoor living. Buyers have
Alstead is off to a good start with 17 home sales in the first 60 days. found that appealing. “They also love the detached garages with finished space on the second floor. They see them as an office or studio or perhaps guest quarters,” she said.
The homes can be 2,625 feet with four bedrooms and four baths. Alstead’s model home is at 1030 Celebration Drive, near the corner of Holcomb Bridge and Eves roads.

Creating a recurring revenue model Do you have to sell something each time you make revenue? Does your small business have the opportunity to sell something once and make revenue from the sale over and over again? Creating a recurring revenue model as part of your small business can help reduce your costs and provide a more steady flow of revenue into your business. Recurring revenue is not only highly likely to continue, it is also predictable, stable and can be counted on in the future with a high degree of certainty. There are a lot of small businesses today that have uncovered the value of

Founder & President Jones Simply Sales
having a recurring revenue model, and if not for their whole business, as a part of it. Whether it’s a monthly subscription service, a service that gets performed on an ongoing basis, or even an annual payment that is made to your small business, recurring revenue is often a better choice. A
recurring revenue model allows you to reach out to customers more often and build a more loyal customer base. Building a recurring revenue model into your small business is not hard. Looking for ongoing ways to provide products or services that either complement, supplement or support your main product line is a good starting point. Thousands of companies, like Netflix, Salesforce and AT&T, have used recurring revenue models to dominate their industries. Adding a recurring revenue model will provide more predictable growth for your small business.

The Collection could add residential
By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup. com
By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNT Y, Ga. — The Collection at Forsyth, an outdoor shopping mall, could soon be adding housing to its complex. The Board of Commissioners heard from Ethan Underwood, an attorney with Miles, Hansford and Tallant, as he gave a presentation on The Collection Expansion Initiative. “We are asking to help expand The Collection,” Underwood said. “It is the commercial center of south Forsyth County and we want to make sure we’re continuing to attract excellent tenants.” The Collection, 410 Peachtree Parkway, needs to evolve into a true mixed-use development, Underwood said. “When you’re competing with internet sales, retail is hard,” Underwood said. “You really have to make shopping an experience rather than just going into a store. We want to make The Collection the commercial jewel of Forsyth County and utilize it to its fullest extent.” Part of the initiative would include a town center with a town green where concerts, plays and special events could be held. Underwood said they are looking to create a mixed use with a 24-hour customer base for residents living on site, additional offices, retail area and park space. One thing The Collection has over other similar developments, he said, is the fact retail is already there and residential would come next,
which is opposite of most developments. “A lot of mixed-use developments have said they want to build but need a residential first,” Underwood said. “I’m not aware of any folks who go with the commercial component of that. This is a development where we already have commercial on the ground. Now we want to utilize the residential.” Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills said she thinks it could help the retail already at The Collection. “[Residents] wanted commercial and now they want residential,” Mills said. “The fact of the matter is your commercial will live if you have the residential around it. A lot of [The Collection’s] commercial component is dying because it doesn’t have residential.” There would be about 300 housing units, Underwood said, all with one to two bedrooms. Because of the pressure

MILTON, Ga. – Milton is the home for the first Georgia location of Children’s Learning Adventure, a fast-growing preschool, child care, afterschool and summer-camp company. It is located at 13175 Cogburn Road in Milton, at the corner of Cogburn Road and Windward Parkway. Boasting a library, indoor gym, gardening corner, child-sized working kitchen and even a couple of Brunswick bowling lanes, the $12 million, 25,000-square-foot building aims to keep children not only occupied but also learning. The “media room” features broadcasting and karaoke equipment to build public-speaking skills and confidence. “We want to keep the stimulation with the children and foster an interest in learning,” said Melody Prince, senior operations training specialist. A lot of the lessons and features are centered around helping the children retain their lessons. For instance, when learning the alphabet,
they hear “A is for apple,” then go plant apple seeds and make apple tarts to sell in the make-believe market. “We want them to have real-life experiences that will last with them,” Prince said. About 1,000 people attended the school’s grand opening July 20, Prince said, noting that’s quite a show of support from the community. With 45 employees currently, the goal is to build a workforce of about 80. There is a capacity of just over 400 children in the building. The school began in Arizona and has since expanded into Nevada, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas and now Georgia. Already, a second school is planned for nearby Johns Creek. Prince said the company is growing quickly. Within the next five years, the company hopes to have 200 locations nationwide. Prince said ultimate plans are to go international as well. “We open where we are needed,” Prince said, “and every market needs us right now.” For information on Children’s Learning Adventure, visit them online at www. childrenslearningadventure. com.

Amtrak to open new IT office in Sandy Springs SANDY SRPINGS, Ga.—On June 9, chief information officer of Amtrak, Jason Molfetas and chief business strategy officer Dave Hudson presented an overview of Amtrak’s new Information Technology Service Delivery Center to the Sandy Springs-Perimeter Chamber of Commerce. Hudson told the group Amtrak believes the new office’s Sandy Springs location is ideal for attracting technology workers, especially millennials, who desire transportation options and nearby live-workplay centers. According to Hudson, Amtrak leadership is impressed with the city’s local business climate, cost of labor and quality of life. The city’s central location also will help Amtrak draw talent from across the northern arc of Atlanta, as well as from its central business district. The center is estimated to generate as many as 200 jobs in the area over the next two to five years.

ers at The Collection would like to live there as well. They also want empty nesters and young professionals to live there, similar to Avalon, 2200 Avalon Blvd., in Alpharetta, which Underwood said, noting many people have noticed its success. The average age of a person living in the Avalon apartments is 54, Underwood said. Along with The Collection workers, Underwood said this would give those working at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta next door an easy place to live where they would be able to walk to work. Being next to CHOA will also protect tenants and bring better tenants in, Underwood said. Tom Brown, director of Planning and Community Development for the county, said they want to create a signature event with The Col-

lection, and that the health, fitness and green aspects of the development were in their thought process. Underwood said they wanted to create an overlay district that identifies this as a special area with high standards. “This portion of the project is not in the Peachtree Parkway overlay,” Underwood said. “It can really be developed with anything. By developing an overlay, you’ll be creating cultural standards. An overlay is important so it doesn’t open flood gates. If you create a specific zoning overlay, you don’t have folks two miles down the road saying they want to do the same thing. This will help bring The Collection up to where it’s completing the experience.” Before approving a new overlay, the BOC and Underwood agreed Underwood’s staff would come up with sections to add to the county’s overlay policy and Brown’s office would take it from there.

Seven inexpensive ways to update your kitchen (NAPSI)—The kitchen remodel is the ultimate home improvement project. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most expensive. Thanks to product innovations, homeowners can remodel their kitchen and give it a fresh, up-to-date look without breaking the bank. From cabinets and countertops to overhead lighting and everything underneath, there are a variety of product options available for homeowners to transform their kitchens for less. Seven inexpensive projects to make over a kitchen include: 1. Cabinet Face-lift—Are your cabinets stuck in a previous decade? Update cabinets with Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations. This innovative coating system transforms the look of old, worn cabinets into the look of beautiful handcrafted cabinetry without the cost, downtime or mess associated with replacement or refacing. This product is easy to use with no stripping, sand-
ing or priming needed. In three simple steps, you can create a new, custom look for your cabinets that you will be proud to showcase. 2. Countertop Rescue—Old, dingy countertops deserve a second chance at looking brand new. Countertop demolition costs a fortune and leaves homeowners with an inconvenient mess. Don’t replace counters; rescue them with Rust-Oleum Countertop Transformations. This revolutionary, do-it-yourself kit gives outdated, worn surfaces a sought-after, high-end granite finish in a weekend. 3. Appliance Alliance—Not ready to part ways with your appliances just yet? Not a problem. Dated or mismatched appliances are an easy fix with Rust-Oleum Specialty Appliance Epoxy. It is specifically formulated for indoor metal surfaces and provides appliances and other indoor metal applications with a smooth, washable, factorylike finish. Specialty Appliance Epoxy is
available in popular colors like black, white, biscuit and even stainless steel. 4. (Eye)Soaring Lights— Outdated overhead light fixtures can quickly become an eyesore and oftentimes are surprisingly overlooked by homeowners. Pendant lighting or can lighting are inexpensive additions that can be customized with spray paint. RustOleum Universal spray paint is a paint and primer in one that has the power to transform light fixtures from boring to brilliant. 5. Pull Drawer Galore— The smallest additions alter the overall design or feel of a space. Upgrading hardware can easily be accomplished with a can of Rust-Oleum Universal spray paint. Metallic colors such as Oil-Rubbed Bronze or Dark Steel modernize cabinets, or softer matte colors such as French Cream and Iced Gray provide your kitchen with a warm, cozy feel. 6. Let There Be Color—Is your kitchen lacking personal-
ity? Spice up décor items with colorful spray paint. Paint anything from centerpieces, frames, chairs and more to liven up your living space. Rust-Oleum Ultra Cover 2X spray paint provides twice the coverage in a single pass, which means your project will be done in half the time. It is available in a satin or glossy finish with dozens of colors to choose from. 7. Specialty Solution— A lot of time is spent in the kitchen. Looking for a way to keep track of it? Rust-Oleum Specialty Chalkboard and Rust-Oleum Specialty Dry Erase convert kitchen surfaces into writable surfaces. Chalkboard and Dry Erase are the
perfect paints to keep track of daily events and to stay organized. These paints can be used to create a life-size wall calendar, arrange menus or make for a stylish backsplash. The possibilities are endless with Chalkboard and Dry Erase, now available in a Clear finish. Learn More For further facts and tips, you can visit www.rustoleum. com.

Going green in your home By BILL RAWLINGS Vice President/Managing Broker, North AtlantaAtlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Green living isn’t limited to big projects like installing solar panels. There are simple and affordable ways to go green. The best part: “green living” may also save money and make your home more comfortable. These small changes in your home, along with some extra thought during daily activities, RAWLINGS can have a great impact on your budget, as well as the environment. HVAC systems account for almost half the energy usage in a home. Placing trees near air conditioners installed outside provides shade to help them run cooler and use less energy. Programmable thermostats are highly effective in conserving electricity because they can be used
to run air conditioning and heating systems only when they are truly needed. Appliances can be some of the largest consumers of energy in the home. One sure way to go green when it comes to appliances is to purchase Energy Star qualified items. These items have been third-party tested and certified to ensure that they are providing the energy savings that they claim. One of the simplest and most effective ways to save energy is to turn off lights in unoccupied rooms and to let the sun light the room during the day. Turning off televisions and computers that are not being used is another way to save electricity. Reduce water use and conserve water around the house by using low-flow toilets, faucets and shower heads. Using drip irrigation to water the lawn is a major conservation tactic. Energy Star-rated dishwashers use less water than washing dishes by hand.

Saving money in a seller’s market: Three tips (NAPSI)—If you’re planning—or even just dreaming—of buying your first home, a few tips and trends may prove intriguing. According to the National Association of Realtors, home prices are up and accelerating because there are more buyers than homes for sale. Here are three tips for firsttime buyers looking to purchase in this seller’s market: Know your budget and stay within it: Before you start shopping, find out what you can afford with a preapproval from a lender so you know how much money you can borrow. When determining your budget, consider the other costs of home ownership, including taxes, insurance and utilities. When listings are scarce, home prices tend to rise as bidding wars drive them higher. Don’t get caught up competing against other buyers and counteroffering above what you can comfortably afford. Winning a bidding war could feel like losing if you end up spending above your means. Stay patient and walk away if the price surpasses your budget. Identify needs versus wants: No home is perfect and many people have to compromise on features when buying
an existing home. At the same time, you don’t want to end up settling for a house you don’t love. Separate and maintain your focus on what you really want in a home against what you can live with (or without). A home in a certain school district or close to your job most likely falls into the former while a kitchen with a fancy backsplash is something you can add at a later date. Work with a Realtor who knows the area: When housing supply is tight, an attractively priced home will likely draw multiple offers. Find a Realtor with experience serving clients in your desired area. He or she can provide invaluable market information, including how fast homes are selling and for what price. A Realtor can also help you with a negotiation strategy to make your offer stand out. To find one, go to www.realtor. com/realestateagents and enter the zip code of the area where you want to buy. Buying a home is arguably the most important financial decision you’ll make in your life. Working with a Realtor and following this advice can give you the advantage you need.

Hidden: Continued from Page 4 37, was allegedly killed by her boyfriend who also killed Manning’s 8- and 9-year old sons, Jared and Jacob Smith. He also shot and critically wounded Manning’s father. “We’ve lost too many lives since I’ve been here,” Dawkins said. “I just got here and thought ‘what is going on?’ The most tragic thing to me was seeing the faces of those two little boys. Their lives were cut short because of family violence.” Domestic violence occurs 365 days of the year, Dawkins said. “It reaches across every county and state,” Dawkins said. “In communities where we don’t hear about domestic violence it’s because it’s silent and hidden. It happens every day. It might be more prevalent than we think.” While the recent spike in deadly domestic violence isn’t a good thing, one positive has come out of it. “Our calls on our crisis line have picked up since the murder-suicide [of Erin Jones and her boyfriend],” Dawkins said. “More individuals are calling.
It’s a good thing but unfortunately something so traumatic had to happen for individuals to be more aware.” The crisis line is staffed 24/7, Dawkins said, and is one of many programs Family Haven offers. The organization also provides emergency shelter, transitional housing and an array of outreach services to individuals in the community. In addition, staff also helps with temporary restraining orders, support groups and financial programs. Dawkins said domestic violence can be considered anything from emotional, mental, physical, psychological, sexual, financial and religious abuse. Abuse can happen between all couples – married and unmarried. While domestic violence is often seen as only impacting women, who Dawkins said make 99 percent of the calls to Family Haven, men also seek assistance. “If it is a male victim, of course they can’t be in our shelter program, but we find alternative housing for any male victim,” Dawkins said. Women and their children can stay in the 27-bed Family Haven emergency shelter up to 90 days. Beyond that, transitional housing is available with apartment-style units with 18
beds. Survivors, as Dawkins calls them, can stay up to one year in the apartment-style housing. “In the 90 days we try to get individuals stabilized and healing emotionally, mentally and physically,” Dawkins said. “Then we try to assist with finding them employment if they don’t have that anymore. They can then be a candidate to go into our transitional housing so they can stay there for a year and continue to get the counseling services and start to work on being selfsufficient.” Even with all the amenities and programs the shelter offers, Dawkins said survivors still have to take that first step and call the confidential crisis line. The first 24 to 48 hours are critical when a survivor wants to leave a domestic situation, Dawkins said. “When she makes that initial point and informs someone she wants to leave, the abuser no longer has power and control over that survivor and it becomes critical when it feels like everything is going to be taken away from him,” Dawkins said. “At the end of the day, it’s the survivor’s choice if she wants to stay in the relationship or not. But we can explore some options for
What are warning signs that you may be with a potential abuser? • Someone who tells you that you can never do anything right • Showing jealousy of your friends and time spent away • Keeping you, or discouraging you, from seeing friends or family members • Embarrassing or shaming you with put-downs • Controlling every penny spent in the household • Taking your money or refusing to give you money for expenses • Looking at you or acting in ways that scare you • Controlling who you see, where you go, or what you do • Preventing you from making your own decisions • Telling you that you are a bad parent or threatening to harm or take away your children • Someone who prevents you from working or attending school • Destroying your property or threatening to hurt or kill your pets • Intimidating you with guns, knives or other weapons • Pressuring you to have sex when you don’t want to or do things sexually you’re not comfortable with • Pressuring you to use drugs or alcohol
her and her family. We can educate her on her rights and let her know there is a safe place she can go. There are alternatives so she and her children can live violence-free lives.” In the future, Dawkins hopes to create educational programs for the community on domestic violence, including
an open forum and a candlelight vigil. For now, she said, Family Haven is in need of financial donations as well as donations of personal-hygiene products, school supplies and food. For information on Family Haven and how you can help, visit http://www.forsythcountyfamilyhaven.info/.

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
