By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta became the state’s first municipality to provide COVID-19 antibody testing to first responders.

The city’s police and fire personnel were provided the opportunity to visit the testing site at Fire Station 81 on Webb Bridge Road last week as part of a joint effort with WellStar Healthcare Systems.

Funding for the program is provided by the city. The first day of testing, May 19, saw some 50 employees file through the testing site.

“Our initial program offers free antibody testing to our 200 first responders, and we are already in discussions with representatives of WellStar Healthcare System on the potential to expand the program to all City of Alpharetta employees as well as other essential workers and major employers in Alpharetta,” said Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin. “Exactly what such an expansive program would look like, how it could be achieved logistically, and how it could be funded are all being explored at this time.”

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are proteins that are produced by the immune system to help stop viruses from causing bodily harm. A person infected by COVID-19 begins to develop antibodies seven to 14 days after contracting the virus, and those antibodies can be detected in the person’ s blood. Emerging evidence suggests those antibodies may provide an individual with a level of immunity to COVID-19 for some period of time.

It is also believed that, because some patients may contract COVID-19 but have very mild or even no symptoms, the disease may have infected more people and had a wider spread than is currently known.

State agency lists COVID-19 cases reported in local senior care homes

Roswell nonprofit joins area effort to create personal protective devices

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Amid national shortages of personal protective equipment for healthcare providers, a Roswell organization has stepped up to create and assemble lifesaving equipment.

Roswell FireLabs, located in a former Roswell fire station on Holcomb Bridge Road, is a nonprofit created in 2018 that provides space and equipment for a variety of creative endeavors, including screen printing, wood and metal shop,

3D printing, sewing and electronics.

Termed a “makerspace,” the nonprofit usually functions to provide the tools and space for people to use personally on in workshops or classrooms.

When COVID-19 hit Georgia, like many organizations, Roswell FireLabs closed to normal operations. But Atlanta Beats COVID, an informal collective of makerspaces around the Metro Atlanta area, soon reached out to Roswell FireLabs to help healthcare providers during

NORTH METRO ATLANTA — Georgia Department of Public Health figures show there have been over 30 residents and 23 staff members who have tested positive for COVID-19 at 17 large senior care facilities in North Fulton and Forsyth County. The cumulative figures, which cover cases up to May 19, include facilities classified as nursing homes, personal care homes and assisted living communities with 25 beds or more.

Ten total deaths have been reported from local senior care centers.

Seven Forsyth County facilities have reported cases. Four centers in Alpharetta, four in Roswell, one in Johns Creek and one in Milton had also reported either staff or resident positive cases as of May 19.

Around half of those facilities had no confirmed cases a month ago. Several of the facilities that had reported coronavirus cases among residents or staff on April 17 have not reported any additional cases.

Nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other senior care centers have

been urged to take special measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among residents, who are at higher risk of serious complications of the virus. The Georgia Department of Public Health has outlined “critical” measures to protect residents and staff members, which includes restricting all visitors, cancelling communal activities and dining, social distancing and other actions.

The guidelines also instruct all senior facilities, regardless of size, to contact the Department of Public Health for additional support if a resident or worker has tested positive for COVID-19. The agency should also be contacted if there is any case of unexplained respiratory illness, clusters of two or more people with “respiratory symptoms.”

COVID-19 has been especially deadly for seniors. As of May 20, 86 percent of the state’s 1,682 deaths attributed to the coronavirus were people 60 years old and over.

Alpharetta advances talks to limit skateboarding downtown Elected officials assemble for first council meeting at City Hall since March

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — With a 6-foot space between each of them, Alpharetta City Council members assembled at City Hall for the first time in two months.

But, they were miles apart on the issue of whether to ban skateboarding in the downtown.

The issue was brought up during a workshop at the end of the council meeting which was live streamed on the city’s website and on YouTube. Officials also included a Zoom portal that was disconnected because of technical issues in syncing with the other feeds.

Skateboarding in and around City Center has been a feverish topic for a number of residents the past few months. Tenants in the Amorance Apartments near City Hall have complained the constant noise and banging from the wheeled devices, especially in the evenings and on weekends, has made their lives miserable.

The discussion Monday was introduced by council members Donald Mitchell and Karen Richard, who both spoke in favor of crafting an ordinance that would limit the practice in certain

areas of the city, specifically around City Center and within publicly accessed mixed-use developments.

Richard said skateboarders present a severe hazard by using the four-level parking garage near City Hall as an incline to race to the bottom. She said she has also had to dodge erratic skateboarders on the sidewalks at City Center.

“I have literally had to jump out of the way of these guys coming down City Center sidewalks,” she said.

Mitchell joined in the measure by stressing the city encourages paver sidewalks in the downtown core. These pavers, he said, help generate a huge racket when used by skateboarders. The city has got to find a way to balance the freedom of young people to recreate with the constant din suffered by residents, he said.

Enforcement may be an issue City Attorney Sam Thomas said the city would be hamstrung adopting any policy that would include citing children for violating the ordinance. The law could allow for citing parents of the children found in violation, however.

Penalties could be set by the ordinance, he said.

“The only thing that I understand anybody is looking for is just deterrence from the standpoint of danger, safety, property destruction…” Thomas said.

But the issue drew pushback from others on the council who warned

against the city adding more prohibitions on activities governing behavior.

They were also hesitant to tell potential developers what they could and could not allow within their properties.

While all agreed skateboarding in the parking deck constituted a safety hazard, they were less anxious to extend a ban to sidewalks and other areas.

Councilman John Hipes said he is troubled by becoming what he termed a “nanny state.” In the past two years, he said, the council has limited vaping and outlawed e-scooters.

“Now, a bunch of us older folks up here, we don’t like skateboarding,” Hipes said. “Kids skateboard. We don’t skateboard… For every right we seek to grant to somebody, we are in the process of depriving somebody of a right that they currently have.”

Nearby residents weigh in But two residents of the Amorance Apartments, Steven and Ashley Whitt, implored the council to consider the plight of those who followed the city’s call to live in a revived downtown when the City Center project was first proposed more than five years ago.

Steven Whitt said the city’s biggest problem is yet to come when someone gets hurt because of the unpredictable nature of the activity.

“When you designed downtown Alpharetta, when you designed City Cen-

ter, you designed the perfect skate park,” he said. “You’ve got everything they’re looking for, and if I were a teenager, I’d be looking to do the same thing.”

He recommended the city explore providing young people with a proper skate park that is safe, free from traffic, free from nearby residences and free from pedestrians who might be injured.

Melanie Levy, the manager at Amorance, also emailed the council Monday saying the safety of the skateboarders is the biggest issue, adding that they jump out in front of cars and race down the parking deck.

Mayor Jim Gilvin said many of the skateboarders he sees rolling around City Center are not children, but young adults. Not only that, he said some of the skateboarders were engaging in dangerous, unpredictable maneuvers amid pedestrian traffic.

“When human beings respect each other, government doesn’t have to make these types of decisions,” he said. “But, right now, we have a situation where just normal, common courtesy, relying on common courtesy, doesn’t always solve the issue.”

The council is expected to take up the issue again in coming weeks to consider whether the proposal should be modified to impose age restrictions, where and when skateboarding can be allowed and how the city could enforce such an ordinance.

Local faith institutions ponder reopening plans

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenemediagroup.com NORTH ATLANTA — Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted lives for millions, and the impact has reverberated into the faith-based community.

Since the statewide shelter-in-place order went into effect in March, hundreds of local businesses and organizations have closed their doors to the

public. Now, some faith institutions have begun pondering how to best reopen with safeguards in place to protect their congregations.

Many faith institutions have continued to operate and engage with members online by streaming worship services.

Some have even created virtual meetings, such as through Zoom, to allow small groups and classes to continue.

Despite the distance, the methods

have been effective at St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, according to Director of Operations Larry Salter.

“Our services are extremely well attended as we are fortunate enough to have a media coordinator with television background, and therefore the online experience is very engaging,” Salter said.

“We also have well attended Zoom Bible Studies for all ages and demographics as well as Sunday School. We are having virtual concerts, forums and graduation celebrations.”

St. James is following the lead of the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church in regard to reopening. Currently, there are no plans to reopen before June 22, and the church’s reopening planning team is looking at the possibility of a soft reopening after that date.

Salter said any reopening will include precautions as outlined by the CDC, including social distancing, limiting capacity, disinfecting between services, health and temperature screening, and hosting only family worship initially.

Congregation Dor Tamid in Johns Creek

is taking similar steps and precautions.

Executive Director Stacey Jahanfar said the congregation is working with a panel of members from the CDC, Emory Johns Creek Hospital and several doctors on a plant to resume services.

“We meet with them regularly, so we can make decisions in a sound and safe way,” she said. “We are not in a hurry to open with a possibility of an oversight or rush to set us back, but to open when we know all the facts and the safest for our members.”

Because some members are over 60 years old, Jahanfar said Congregation Dor Tamid wants to take extra precautions to guard their safety and will likely use a phased approach to reopening.

In the meantime, Congregation Dor Tamid will continue to offer virtual programs most days of the week, including Friday night and Saturday morning services. Other programs include cooking classes and trivia nights.

Milton bids farewell to beloved retiring teacher, school officer

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — When Tom Washburn applied to become a school resource police officer in Milton, he did not expect his popularity with students to eventually lead to a career teaching a groundbreaking program in law and public safety.

“When I was a resource officer, I had many students eager to learn more about law and public safety,” Washburn said. “I had many asking about how to have a career.”

He eventually landed on the idea to create a program focused on the subject, and a year after approaching his boss, Shirley Collins, he got his wish when Collins was promoted to head Fulton County Schools Career and Technical Education. He was given two weeks to write the course and four weeks to gather the materials before the program would formally open at Centennial High School in 1997.

At the time, Georgia had only one high school-level law enforcement program, and nationwide, five states held a similar program. Washburn said he

COMMUNITY

National portrayal dings Alpharetta’s reputation Alpharetta made national news last week, and for all the wrong reasons.

Well, that was my take, but there were certainly those who felt the opposite.

The Washington Post article was titled ‘’This feels great, A preview from Georgia about how America HANS APPEN might reemerge from the coronaviPublisher rus: Eating, drinking, touching and hans@appenmediagroup.com throwing caution to the wind.”

It detailed life at the Avalon development near downtown Alpharetta. What stores were opening, what precautions were being taken, what sorts of shoppers were out and what they were buying.

Georgia was one of the first states to “reopen” for business, so it makes sense that news outlets are keeping tabs on us to see how things are going. Hypothetically, the degree to which business bounces back or to what extent the virus remains or resurges may be a useful model for states to monitor as they develop their own reopening plans.

A running theme of the article was how and if people were wearing masks.

The reporter detailed how most were not and very few were social distancing.

One woman is quoted as saying “If I was to get it

Teacher: Continued from Page 5 went on to be adopted in over a dozen states and hundreds of schools,” Washburn said. “I suddenly was the ‘expert,’ and folks from all over wanted to know what we were doing.”

Washburn taught classes at Milton and Cambridge High Schools as well and currently serves as treasurer of the Law and Public Safety Education Network in Milton.

One of Washburn’s first students, Neidra Wilson, said he inspired her, like many others, to pursue a career in the law and justice fields. She now works as

Beyond the disregard for self-preservation, the thing that bothered me most was the lack of empathy for the workers making their trip to Avalon possible – the cashiers, janitors, waiters and shelf stockers. now, I’ve got a 90 percent chance of getting cured. Also, I don’t know anybody who’s got it.”

Seriously?

You won’t find a single doctor who would advise you to do something you don’t have to that comes with a 10 percent chance of dying.

Beyond the disregard for self-preservation, the thing that bothered me most was the lack of empathy for the workers making their trip to Avalon possible – the cashiers, janitors, waiters and shelf stockers.

Not a single person even acknowledged that their escape from home quarantine came with new responsibilities to keep the people around them safe. Wearing

“When I met him, [Washburn] was still building his criminal justice program,” Wilson said. “He challenged our minds. He was protective of us like we were his own children. He constantly pushed us to be our best, but always celebrated us.”

But what made Washburn stand out for several students, who at times called him the “friendly giant,” Wilson said, is that he cared about his students lives, not just their academics.

“When I came to school the day after I learned my brother had passed away from pancreatic cancer, I had a quiz in his class which I wasn’t ready for,” she said. “I simply wrote on the quiz my brother died and turned it in. He

masks isn’t just for you. It’s for them, too.

I know Alpharetta. I have lived here for 30 years. I am confident the people quoted in the article are, by and large, not representative of the kind, caring and empathetic people that want me to keep my family and business rooted here.

At Appen Media we have written dozens of articles detailing the good deeds that people in the community have performed to help others during this crisis.

Yes, everyone wants to get on with their lives. Yes, people need and want to go back to work. Yes, businesses cannot afford to remain shuttered while we wait for the vaccine.

And yes, I am tired of the binary choices presented to us from politicians. There is a way to both safely reopen shops and protect the workers inside them while also minimizing risks of spreading or contracting the virus.

Businesses have an obligation to create a safe environment for employees and customers. By all accounts, the management team at Avalon has done that. But we as patrons of businesses have an obligation to each other, too.

Practice social distancing, wear a mask in public, tip your servers more than you usually do, shop local – just to name a few.

We will not be safe from this virus until a vaccine arrives. Until then, is it too much to ask that we show each other some respect?

looked at me, pulled me to the side and asked why I was in school, that I didn’t have to be here, but I told him I did. He comforted me at a time that I had a great loss. He fought for me when the school wanted to take my parking permit away since I did eventually miss some days of school for the funeral. Mr. Washburn is a teacher I talk about fondly because he’s my favorite teacher.”

That empathy led Washburn and his wife Shanon to eventually adopt a student whose father had unexpectedly died following a divorce.

“Wash was a father figure to me,” said Evan Hecht. “Wash was for me the stable rock I could stand on throughout high school… Wash has been the father and husband I aspire to imitate. He’s dedicated to supporting his students through

his time and wisdom. He’s a Godly man who loves the lord and lays down his life for his family and his students. He is the example of what a good man should be.”

Washburn helped Hecht attend a community college and welcomed him into his home when Hecht needed a temporary place to live before attending college full time. Hecht now works as a Planning Associate at TrueWealth in Atlanta after graduating from the University of Georgia in 2015.

Washburn said some of his favorite memories of his time as a teacher was helping students succeed in academics and in their personal lives. It’s an aspect he said that brought him back to school every day and that he will miss.

Now, Washburn said, it is simply time to retire and look out for his family.

Stack Infrastructure announces expansion plans Data center firm to add new facility to campus

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Stack Infrastructure has announced plans to expand its Alpharetta date center campus on Webb Bridge Road.

Founded in 2019, Stack provides digital infrastructure, co-location and private data suites on its campuses.

Company officials said Stack will break ground on a new two-story, 12-megawatt facility on a recently acquired 6-acre parcel adjacent to the company’s existing data center.

“Stack’s expansion strategy continues to be driven by the needs of our clients and this is another example of our commitment to establishing strong footholds with room for growth and campus economics in their most important markets,” said Matt VanderZanden, chief strategy officer. “Stack is experiencing outsized demand in Atlanta based on the favorable business climate, low overall operating costs and robust infrastructure. The expansion of our campus will enable us to help our clients further anchor their presence in the Southeast.”

The digital infrastructure company specializes in hyperscale campuses and build-to-suit data centers, wholesale colocation and private data suites, and powered shell options.

The company’s existing facility provides 105,000 square feet of space offering 7 megawatts of critical capacity.

Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin said the addition of critical infrastructure is more important than ever before in today’s business climate.

Atlanta and the surrounding Transaction Alley are the third largest financial technology hub in the United States, with more than 70 percent of all credit card transactions processed through the Atlanta metropolitan area, according to the Atlanta Small Business Network. Data-intensive companies require secure, re-

Stack Infrastructure operates facilities in seven markets, including Chicago; Dallas/Fort Worth; New Albany, Ohio; and Silicon Valley, California.

Matthew Thomas, Alpharetta economic development manager, said the Stack expansion speaks to the city’s growing popularity in the tech marketplace.

“Their growth helps solidify our city as a tech-

nology hub and innovation destination in the metro region,” he said. “These top-notch data centers investing in Alpharetta allows companies to process, store, and access data in secure and well-networked facilities.”

Just last year, Flexential also added 70,000 square feet to their existing data center on Windward Parkway to bring their total Alpharetta footprint to 175,000 square feet.

The collaborative workforce efforts of the Forsyth County Chamber and the Greater North Fulton Chamber seek to connect industry with potential labor forces via a series of virtual hiring events. Representatives from local businesses will briefly discuss open positions, qualifications, and how to apply. Attendees will also be able to participate in a break out session with an employer to ask questions about their company and specific opportunities.

There is no cost for job seekers or employers to participate.

Getting warmer: Five ways for seniors to safely enjoy the sunshine From your friends at Addington Place of Alpharetta Things are warming up! Here are tips for fun in the sun - safely, and with social distancing in mind.

DRINK IT IN. Adequate hydration is essential. Doctors recommend that seniors consume at least 7 cups of fluid daily. Liven up your intake with a cool glass of lemonade, a fruity sugar-free drink mix, iced tea, or our favorite, an Arnold Palmer (half lemonade, half iced tea)!

HAT’S THE SPIRIT! Spring/summer hats come in a variety of fun colors and patterns- classic styles, too! Choose a wide brim to shield you from harmful UV rays, and a nice, lightweight fabric to keep cool and avoid overheating!

A SUNSHINE STROLL. Taking a walk can be a lovely way to get light cardio exercise, stretch out a bit and soak up some healthy Vitamin D from sunlight. A friendly chat with neighbors from a safe distance can really help you stay connected, too!

BOOK ‘EM! Reading outside is a true pleasure. All it takes is a comfortable chair, adequate sun coverage, a cool drink and something to read. For those with tired

COVID-19: Testing at Wellstar Health System During this challenging time, the health and safety of the community is our top priority. As part of our commitment to helping Georgia fight COVID-19, Wellstar Health System is offering COVID-19 diagnostic testing and antibody testing across our hospitals, health parks, offices and urgent care centers.

After scheduling your screening, medical experts select the proper test and provide answers for patients who may be experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, are worried they may be a carrier of the virus or have fought off a previous case of the disease.

Wellstar Pathologist Dr. Marla Franks explained the difference between the two tests.

“A patient who is currently sick may need a diagnostic test,” Dr. Franks said.

“However, a patient who was sick a few weeks ago and is now well may need an antibody test to see if the patient was exposed to the virus in the past.”

As our state transitions from staying at home to re-entering the community, it’s important to note that the spread of COVID-19 is still prevalent in Georgia.

Along with following preventative health measures such as frequent handwashing and social distancing, COVID-19 testing can help protect the health of our community and prevent potential infection.

COVID-19 Antibody Testing Are you curious whether you may have fought off a previous case of COVID-19? An antibody blood test could give you an answer.

Antibody blood tests check your blood by looking for antibodies, which show if you had a COVID-19 infection

in the past. During the test, a patient has a small sample of blood collected in a syringe that is then checked for the presence of antibodies. Generally, the test results have a quick turnaround time and are usually available in less than 24 hours.

If you’d like to schedule a COVID-19 antibody test, contact any Wellstar health park, primary care or physician’s office, or urgent care location near you.

COVID-19 Diagnostic Testing If you may currently be experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, diagnostic testing can help you take the necessary steps to protect your health.

At this time, Wellstar is conducting COVID-19 testing across all hospitals, health parks, offices and urgent care locations. All Wellstar physicians can refer patients for screening and COVID-19 testing, and anyone experiencing symptoms should contact one of the above locations.

Unlike the blood sample needed for antibody testing, diagnostic testing requires a Nasopharyngeal swab to collect a sample. During this test, a swab is inserted through the nose to collect nasal secretions from the back of the nose and throat. After the test is performed, the timing of the results can vary patient by patient, but most are received within 1 to 2 days.

If you feel you need a COVID-19 diagnostic test, contact any Wellstar primary care physician or seek care at any Wellstar urgent care center, health park or emergency department.

For more information, visit wellstar. org/COVID-19 or call (770) 956-STAR (7827).

Viruses, skin cancers and therapeutic advances

By DR. BRENT TAYLOR Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta What a challenging time for our country and the world. In response to the coronavirus, governments, businesses and individDR. TAYLOR uals struggle to respond appropriately. An excessive lockdown could threaten businesses, jobs, and individuals’ livelihoods, but an inadequate response could result in a spike in cases that surpasses hospitals’ and intensive care units’ capacity to care for the sick. Either scenario results in loss of life and suffering. Now is certainly a time for patience and grace.

In the world of dermatology, we are gaining an increasing understanding of the role that viruses play in disease and skin cancer, and recent discoveries are giving us cause for hope. Unlike the coronavirus pandemic, these cancer-causing viruses are endemic – they have lived with us for years, and recent discoveries indicate we are winning the fight.

Of the seven viruses that are most associated with cancer in humans, five viruses are linked to to different types of skin cancer. The seven viruses most commonly associated with human cancer are Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), the human papillomavirus family (HPV), human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8), human adult t-cell leukemia virus (HTLV-1/2), Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Only the last two (HBV and HCV) are not linked to skin cancer (but rather liver cancer).

A summary of these viruses’ role in skin cancer is as follows: EBV and HTLV-1/2 are often associated with lymphomas, which may present in the skin. HHV-8 causes Kaposi’s sarcoma (a cancer of blood and lymph vessels classically seen in the immunocompromised). HPV is linked to squamous cell carcinomas including those of the penis and cervix but is increasingly implicated in non-genital squamous cell carcinomas as well. Merkel cell polyomavirus causes a cancer of cells called Merkel cells that are in our skin and that are partially responsible for our ability to feel touch.

Advances are taking place for each of these cancers. For EBV-associated lymphomas, experiments are taking place looking at using white blood cells specific for this virus to help fight the lymphoma. HTLV-1 is a cousin of HIV and both HTLV-1 and its cancers appear to respond to some of the antiretroviral medication developed to treat HIV.

Kaposi’s sarcoma that occurs in the setting of HIV often respond when HIV is treated with antiretrovirals and is now generally a very treatable disease.

HPV-related cancers are expected to decline as the HPV vaccine (e.g., Gardasil®), is being used to prevent penile cancer, cervical cancer and genital warts. Just as exciting, preliminary evidence suggests that HPV vaccine-based therapies may be useful in treating the greater than 1 million cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas that occur in adults each year. In late 2018, Cemiplimab gained FDA approval for treating locally advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Cemiplimab works by releasing the brakes on the immune system allowing a person’s own immune system to fight off the cancer and is one of many new immune system-based medications making tremendous progress in our fight against multiple cancers including melanoma.

Finally, Merkel cell carcinoma had no FDA-approved treatment prior to 2017. Since then immune system based therapies have made great strides in treating Merkel cell carcinoma just as has been the case for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Prior to 2017, survival from Merkel cell carcinoma was often less than 10% after 3 years. With new therapies, survival at 3 years is now exceeding 60%.

For the most common skin cancers – basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, the most effective treatment is still Mohs surgery when caught early. For non-recurrent basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, cure rates with Mohs surgery are typically 99%.

If you or a loved one has a skin cancer diagnosis or another dermatologic issue, consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon and vein specialist Dr. Brent Taylor and highly accomplished and experienced physician assistant Kathryn Filipek, PA-C are here to care for you and your family.

State to allow sports conditioning beginning June 8

Faith:

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroups.com

Continued from Page 4

NORTH METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — Though it will be far from the status quo, the Georgia High School Association Board of Trustees voted May 21 to permit schools to begin summer conditioning June 8.

The move will give schools the option to permit summer workouts and open doors to their weight rooms for the first time in months, but the decision to allow activities will be left up to individual schools.

The GHSA Board of Trustees and Sports Medicine Advisory Committee outlined regulations to which schools must adhere to allow workouts. The document states that schools or school systems may be more restrictive than the GHSA’s regulations, but not less.

The document outlines that only workouts and conditioning is permitted. No equipment, including balls, bats or sleds, can be used. There are also recommendations for each school to prepare an infectious disease prevention plan before workouts begin and that staff and athletes should be screened prior to each workout.

“This is strictly conditioning,” Fulton

County Schools Athletic Director Steven Craft said. “This is only for student athletes to get back into shape and be prepared for what is hopefully a normal start date in the fall.”

Groups will be limited to 20 total persons, including athletes and staff, per sport, and individuals will not be permitted to change groups “for the duration of this guidance.”

Showers and locker rooms will remain closed and weight equipment should be cleaned prior to each workout and between use by each individual, the document states.

The guidelines also recommend having hand sanitizer readily available, that masks be worn in weight rooms and each student should have a personal water bottle.

The GHSA also outlined four questions that should be asked of all participants, including whether they have had a fever in the last week or have been in contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19. If an athlete answers yes to any of the four questions, they should not participate in any workouts for 14 days, the document advises.

Originally the GHSA considered a start date of June 1, but Craft said many

on the Board of Trustees were “hesitant” to start that early. The added week will give schools and coaches extra time to formulate plans to implement the new safety measures.

“The limit on groups is 20, so if you have two coaches for each and a football team that has 100 players, you have got to have six groups to comply,” Craft said.

“That’s just football. Factor in the other programs and your approach from a facilities standpoint. The extra week gives you ample time to make sure you have your processes locked and loaded…to bring your student athletes and staff back in the safest environment possible.”

GHSA Executive Director Robin Hines sent an email to all member schools May 21 urging school officials to follow the recommendations.

Craft said the GHSA’s move shows the organization is committed to moving forward in a safe manner.

“There is going to be a culture of clean, and a lot of things will be different,” Craft said. “But I think people will be excited about the guidelines and creating the best plan possible to have staff and students safe in their return. There is a lot of excitement moving toward what will hopefully be a normal fall season.”

to provide worship services as well as weekly content for students broken up by age group. Tentatively, the church is looking at relaunching Sunday morning programs starting Aug. 9, said spokeswoman Chloe Kliment.

North Point Community Church is currently surveying members for their thoughts on how to safely resume services.

Alpharetta Presbyterian Church has also been filming worship services and using video conferencing for its groups and classes. It employes enewsletters and social media to keep in contact with members.

“We continue to reimagine what it means to do ministry under these extraordinary circumstances,” said Director of Communications Katie VanBrackle. “As a family of faith, we are open and serving now, just in new ways. Church leaders and our public health task force are currently developing a comprehensive plan for how to safely welcome the public back into our buildings.”

In Roswell, Ebenezer United Methodist Church held its first drive-in service on May 24 with the help of World Harvest Church.

In Memoriam

Yvonne Elaine Fantus

Yvonne Elaine Fantus, 65, passed away at Northside Forsyth Hospital in Cumming, GA on Saturday, May 9th, 2020. She was surrounded by her family in love. She struggled with breast cancer for 22 years and never gave up hope; however, she passed away from unassociated complications. Her love for life and family encouraged her to push through until the end.

She is survived by her husband, William Fantus of Johns Creek, GA; her daughter, Brooke Bowman of Atlanta, GA; her sister, Gloria Barnette of Roswell, GA; her brother Kermit Barnette and his son, Ethan, of Columbia, SC; her uncle and aunt, Robert and Linda Yount of Granite Falls, NC; her stepson and his wife, Jason and Maria Fantus of Lawrenceville, GA; and Saige Barnette of Walterboro, SC. She is also survived by her college roommates whom she remained close with all these years.

Yvonne was born on May 28th, 1954, in Pensacola, FL to Kermit and Lura Barnette who have predeceased her.

She graduated from Winthrop College in 1976 with a BS in interior design.

Her career began as being a buyer for a major retailer and transitioned into executive sales positions at major consumer product firms. Her favorite job, however, was being a mother and wife.

Yvonne – affectionately called Bunny – loved the beach, cooking for her family, antiquing with her daughter, and hosting holidays and celebrations at her home. She had a strong faith in God which helped her fight for as long as she did. She was a very caring, thoughtful, and selfless woman who will be missed by all that knew her.

No immediate service will be held at this time due to COVID-19, but there will be a memorial held at her home in the near future.
