Pitts Road bridge work to divert daily traffic

By ALEXANDER POPP alex@appenmedia.com

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Commuters who regularly travel over Ga. 400 via the Pitts Road Bridge will have to take a different route for up to a year, as state officials complete a series of highway bridge replacements.

Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) officials announced that

starting June 12, the Pitts Road Bridge will be closed for approximately one year so the highway bridge can be replaced. Traffic will be detoured 2.8 miles along Roswell Road, Northridge Road, Roberts Drive and Spalding Drive.

“Georgia DOT encourages motorists to drive with caution while using the detour and pay close attention to signage as their preferred navigation apps may not be updated initially,” officials said.

The Ga. 400 Bridge Replacement Project, initiated by GDOT, will replace bridges at Pitts Road, Roberts Drive and Kimball Bridge Road to make room for future Ga. 400 Express Lanes.

The Pitts Road Bridge will be replaced and widened so a 12-foot multiuse path and interior barrier walls can be installed, officials said.

Police investigate possible arson case

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody police are searching for a suspect responsible for starting a fire at a Dunwoody business in late May.

Officers responded to 115 Perimeter Center Place May 30 for a separate investigation and learned a structure fire was started in the business’s parking garage the previous night.

Business security officers told police a grill, charcoal and lighter fluid were located behind the building May 27, but security camera footage later showed a nude male suspect removing the items from the trash and leaving the area with them.

Reports said the DeKalb County Fire Department responded to the location at about 9:30 p.m. May 29 after a structure fire erupted near the ground-level floor of the parking deck, started by the charcoal grill.

Surveillance video also showed the same male suspect leaving the area in a vehicle, apparently still completely nude. Officers were able to identify the suspect from his vehicle’s registration and were told he had previously been criminally trespassed from the location.

Dunwoody police have not made an arrest yet.

Unidentified suspects vandalize Brook Run Park

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody police are investigating a case of vandalism that occurred in Brook Run Park May 30.

Officers were called to the park on North Peachtree Road at about 10

a.m. May 31 after receiving reports that a concrete path, benches and a light pole had been vandalized with blue spray paint.

Walking through the park, officers located 15 arrows that had been spray painted on the ground throughout the park sometime the day or night prior.

No suspect was identified.

Business owner reports attempted $80,000 fraud

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Dunwoody business owner reported to police June 2 that thieves attempted to withdraw $82,000 from his checking account.

Reports said the theft was attempted using a forged check with the correct account and routing numbers, but a fake name, business name and logo. The forged check was deposited in a real Bank of America checking account that officials are attempting to trace.

The victim’s bank, Truist, was able to detect the fraud early and prevented the funds from leaving his account, the report said.

No suspect was identified.

Safe with valuables stolen from Dunwoody home

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police said a safe, containing jewelry, cash, gems and other valuables, was stolen from a home off Whitehall Walk in Dunwoody.

Police responded at about 3 p.m. June 1, after a teenage pet sitter discovered that a garage window in the home had been busted out of its frame, while the homeowners were out of town in South Carolina.

Using FaceTime, officers were able to walk through the house with the owners and learned a safe containing thousands of dollars in valuables had been stolen from behind a painting in the master bedroom.

Two suspicious vehicles may have

been spotted in the area before the burglary, but no suspect was identified.

Lottery tickets stolen in gas station burglary

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — When police responded to an alarm call at Valero Gas Station on Nesbit Ferry Road May 31, they noticed what appeared to be forced entry.

The front door was smashed. But police saw no obvious signs of stolen or missing items, confirmed by the manager who later arrived on scene.

In surveillance footage, the suspect was seen approaching the business at around 3:45 a.m. and entering the store. The suspect took several lottery tickets while inside, then was seen running out of the business to disappear into the wood line near Mount Pisgah Christian School.

In the video, the suspect was wearing white or khaki shorts, a black hooded sweatshirt, a black baseball hat and a black face covering. There were no witnesses to the burglary, the police report said.

Thief uses stolen card to charge nearly $2,000

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A Johns Creek man on Stoney Ridge Drive reported to police May 31 that he had received an email that USPS would deliver letters to his home but didn’t receive one of the packages.

In the email was an image of a letter for his grandson and another letter for his wife. On May 6, the man said he received the mail for his wife, but never received the mail for his grandson, which contained his credit card.

The grandson checked his credit card statement, and three purchases were made on May 12 in Phipps Plaza in Atlanta. They totaled nearly $2,000. The grandson reported the credit card stolen and canceled the card.

Perimeter-area cities to observe Juneteenth

By ALEXANDER POPP alex@appenmedia.com

DUNWOODY — Perimeter area residents wanting to celebrate the Juneteenth holiday will have several opportunities this month, thanks to upcoming events in Dunwoody, Sandy Springs and Atlanta.

Throughout June, Dunwoody will host two StoryWalk exhibits at Brook Run Park and the Dunwoody Nature Center for Juneteenth, which honors the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.

Hosted by the Dunwoody Parks and Recreation Department, the StoryWalk exhibits will feature the book, “A Flag for Juneteenth.”

Dunwoody officials said, “A Flag for Juneteenth,” written and illustrated by Kim Taylor, shares a powerful message and story about the first Juneteenth celebration, told from the perspective of a young girl.

“To educate our residents and emphasize the importance of this holiday, we have selected a flag for Juneteenth to share in two visible locations in Dunwoody,” Dunwoody Mayor Lynn Deutsch said. “We are thrilled to continue to use art and culture to celebrate our diversity.”

Sandy Springs will host its second annual Juneteenth celebration at 5 p.m. June 18 on the City Springs green in downtown Sandy Springs.

The event will feature a live DJ, music, food, culture and other entertainment. City officials may announce more details prior to the event.

Those interested in joining Juneteenth festivities in downtown Atlanta will have the entire weekend to take part in the city’s Juneteenth parade and music festival.

The 11th Annual Juneteenth Atlanta Parade and Music Festival will be held in Centennial Olympic Park starting at noon, June 16.

Known for filling Centennial Olympic Park with music, vendors, food and happy revelers, the festival will be held until 10 p.m. June 16, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. June 17, and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. June 18.

Packed shelters offer free Friday adoptions

METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — LifeLine Animal Project, the organization that manages four shelters across Fulton and DeKalb County will offer free dog adoptions on Fridays throughout the summer starting June 2.

The free Friday adoptions will only apply to dogs who weigh 25 pounds or more and include spay or neuter surgery, vaccines and microchip services worth about $300.

The organization has struggled with overstuffed shelters for months. In January, hundreds of people turned out to the shelters after LifeLine announced it needed to adopt

150 dogs that faced euthanasia.

Now, for the first time in its 21year history, all four shelters are operating at “critical capacity. In total, 1,366 animals are living at Fulton Animal Services, DeKalb County Animal Services, LifeLine Midtown and Community animal Center.

The Fulton Animal Services shelter is under quarantine until June 7 due to an outbreak of the canine flu.

LifeLine Animal Project asks people who can’t adopt a dog to foster animals in need or donate to the organization.

City approves branding for unified trail system covering Sandy Springs

By ALEXANDER POPP alex@appenmedia.com

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. —Sandy Springs officials have approved “Springway” as the official name for the city’s trail system, which is currently under construction.

Presented by Sandy Springs Recreation and Parks Director Michael Perry at the City Council’s June 6 work session, Springway will unify each of the city’s trails with a unified blue and green theme, with trailhead monument signs and painted accents on the trail paths.

Perry said the name was chosen out of 91 options submitted by dozens of residents and was inspired by the “incredible recreation amenity” the city has.

“Augusta’s built a pedestrian bridge over the Savannah River called the ‘History Bridge,’ and they’ve done something very similar to this,” Mayor Rusty Paul said. “It’s very cool.”

Perry said each of the city trail segments will have its own unique name.

“We’ll come back to you at the appropriate time and name the individual trails segments, based on some of their geographic features and location and environmental concerns,” he said

Sandy Springs adopted its Master Trail Plan in 2019 after months of work with the PATH Foundation and public input.

Officials said the first trail segment running from Morgan Falls Overlook Park to Roswell Road is under construction and will be completed in 2024.

For more information about Sandy Springs trails and the city’s Master Trail Plan, visit www.sandyspringsga.gov/trailmaster-plan.

Developer approved

At the June 6 City Council meeting, officials also selected Regent Partners and Morris & Fellows as the preferred development partner for the second phase of the City Springs campus.

As part of their proposal to the city, Regent Partners and Morris & Fellows have proposed a “vibrant” mixed-use project that complements the existing campus, developed through the latest update of the City Springs Master Plan, which was approved in December. Phase II of the project, if developed according to plan, would include a “healthy” mix of restaurants and retail, a boutique hotel, office, limited residential and inclusive greenspace

“We create projects that are contextual to the city and its citizenry,” representatives with Regent Partners and Morris & Fellows said in the proposal. “Extraordinary design elevates our projects above the norm and creates a strong sense of place that acts as a magnet for visitation and enjoyment.”

However, city officials said the proposal in no way represents a final development plan and all options will be presented to the public for input before the plan is finalized.

“We firmly believe in Regent Partners and Morris and Fellows’ ability to bring our shared vision for the City Springs community to life,” City Manager Eden Freeman said. “This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Sandy Springs, and we eagerly look forward to the next steps of the project, including receiving input from the community.”

After a discussion between members of the City Council, the proposal was unanimously approved.

City officials said construction on the second phase of City Springs will begin in late 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2026.

SANDY SPRINGS/PROVIDED Renderings show how Sandy Springs officials plan to brand signage for the city’s trail system. City leaders officially approved the name “Springway” for the trail system at a meeting June 6.

Teen dies, child revived following pool drowning

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A teen died after she and a young boy were pulled from an apartment complex pool June 5.

Police responded to a medical assistance call at the pool of The Estates at Johns Creek Apartments on Addison Lane at around 4:30 p.m., according to the Johns Creek Police Department.

A witness stated two children, a 16-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, were playing and noticed they had been under -

water for too long. The witness said she could not swim and ran to get help from the office. Three men then came out of the building and pulled the children out of the pool.

The boy was resuscitated and is expected to make a full recovery. The teen was flown to Scottish Rite Medical Center, where she died the next day.

The incident is under investigation but appears to be an accident, police said.

Farm offers mindfulness with mix of animals, yoga

By ALEXANDER POPP alex@appenmedia.com

MILTON, Ga. — It’s hard to do yoga’s Downward Facing Dog with a goat on your back or rise into Mountain Pose with a sloth hanging on your shoulders and a pig snuffling at your ankles.

But for people at Love GOGA in Milton, mixing cute, friendly farm animals with yoga is a recipe for increased mindfulness, health and self-care.

Launched in 2017 by Milton resident Cathi Huff, Love GOGA has grown into a successful yoga and wellness business, with thousands of raving fans who sell out nearly every event the business holds each month.

Huff said everything started for Love GOGA when her kids left for college and she wanted to do something using her background in holistic health and her lifelong dream of owning a farm, where she could learn to ride horses.

So, Huff and her family bought a farm and started their animal family with a retired racehorse named Bronx, who once raced under the name “Atlantis Dream” and inspired their name for the property — the Atlantis Dream Farm. Since then, goats, dogs, cats, llamas, pigs and a herd of other animals have joined them there.

“We bought the property seven years ago, and Bronx moved to the backyard, then he started getting buddies,” Huff said.

From the very beginning, Love GOGA’s farm animal yoga classes and events blew up thanks to the internet and TV, leading to over 3,000 hits a week on their website and more than 125 people a week visiting the farm to do yoga.

Marketing Manager Danielle Bartling said Huff’s vision came to life in an organic, effortless way because people really seem to understand what she wanted to share.

“She just combined her love for animals and holistic wellness and mindfulness … it was just like alchemy, no one had really done it that way before,” Bartling said.

But Huff said the company’s true mission of wellness and health didn’t come into focus until therapists and private schools started calling, wanting to hire them for private events.

“We realized that it was more than

Milton resident Cathi Huff founded Love GOGA farm animal yoga at her farm in 2017 after her kids went off to college. Since then, the company has grown into a wildly popular health and wellness business, with fans throughout North Georgia.

With events held at the Atlantis Dream Farm in Milton and special events held throughout the North Georgia area, there are countless opportunities each year for Georgia residents to participate in Love GOGA’s farm animal yoga classes.

just goat yoga,” she said. “The third year is really when it became crystal clear to me that this was my purpose.”

Bartling said the sessions’ uniqueness draws people in, even people who practice yoga on a daily basis.

“We take people out of their routine; you’re not going to do farm animal yoga every single day, but you come out to Halcyon on a Saturday, you’re surrounded by animals …

they’re silly, they’re so cute,” Bartling said. “The animals help ground you to the moment … you’re really just there with them.”

And, ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, people seem to need grounding more than ever, she said.

“People are starving for personal attention and self-care and compassion for themselves,” he said. “The goal for us is to get it to as many people as possible because it’s helped us so much.”

Today Huff and her staff have expanded their lineup to include a part -

nership with North Georgia Wildlife Park in Cleveland, Ga., and Halcyon in Forsyth County. Those events, GOGA in the Wild and Halcyon Farm Animal Yoga, are almost always fully booked.

These are bolstered by special programs, like an event they recently had with the City of Milton that featured a sloth, capybara and fennec fox.

To learn more about Love GOGA events and Mindful Seeds, the business’s “happiness project” that will begin teaching mindfulness at the farm in July, visit lovegoga.com/

During Love GOGA farm animal yoga events, participants will be surrounded by fluffy, friendly animals who love to be held, photographed and petted. Goats, chickens, cows and llamas are all regulars at their events.

Held at the Halcyon development in Forsyth County each month, Farm Animal Yoga on the Green is one of Love GOGA’s most popular events and nearly always sells out, business owners said.

The board also elected Mike Hampton, retired chief administrative officer at Choate Construction as president; Ted Schwartz, a senior partner at Carter Hill Advisors as vice president; chief financial officer at DataScan Matt Powell

due to his age.

Officials said they think the shooting was an accident, and the suspect has known relationships with the two young adult victims.

Detectives were unable to locate the suspect at the scene but found a handgun while canvassing the area. The female victims were transported to an area hospital.

Public Safety officials consider the incident to be isolated, and there is no threat to Alpharetta residents and visitors.

The family behind Eureka Laboratory of Dunwoody

In the early 20th century, one of the businesses in downtown Dunwoody was Eureka Laboratory. It was along Nandina Lane, then known as Spruill Street, and next door to Dunwoody Methodist Church.

When a new Methodist church was constructed in 1970, a small tin salve box was discovered in the ground. The box read “Eureka Ointment, Eureka Laboratory, Dunwoody Georgia. Price 25 cents. Recommended for chapped hands, face and lips, chafes, burns, catarrh etc.” (The Story of Dunwoody 1821-2001, by Elizabeth L. Davis, Ethel W. Spruill)

Lawrence Albert Ball, born 1885, and his sister Clara Elizabeth Ball, born 1890, started the business. They were children of Reuben Greenleaf Ball and Martha Salina Brightwell Ball. Martha Salina Brightwell was part of a neighboring family that moved to Dunwoody. The Ball family already had a long history in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody. Albert and Clara’s grandparents were Peter and Margaret Ball, who came to Georgia from South Carolina. Peter Ball owned a mill along a creek today known as Ball Mill Creek, located along

Ball Mill Road.

Peter and Margaret Ball had four sons and five daughters. Reuben Greenleaf Ball was one of those children.

Albert Ball received his training at the Atlanta College of Pharmacy (established 1891) and became a registered pharmacist. Then he began developing

his formulas for healing salves and lotions.

Clara Ball was known as an accomplished student and cook. She often prepared food for families facing illness or difficult times. She made face powders, perfumes and cosmetics to sell at Eureka Laboratory.

In addition to working as a pharmacist, Albert Ball was an early mail carrier for Dunwoody, traveling the long route by horse-drawn buggy. The route went from Dunwoody to the area along Roswell Road just south of the river, over to Morgan Falls and back to Dunwoody along Mount Vernon Road.

In 1918, Albert Ball was called to duty for World War I. His registration card is signed by another familiar Dunwoody name: Mr. Tilly. There are no records to indicate he was called to report for military duty.

1920 census records show Albert Ball lived in the same house with his mother Martha and his sister and business partner Clara. Reuben Ball died two years earlier. The space for occupation shows Albert is a student at a medical college.

When the census for 1950 was taken, Albert was 65 and Clara was 59. Albert’s occupation recorded on the document is working around the house and garden. In other words, he retired by 1950. Clara and Albert Ball are both buried in the Peter Ball family cemetery in Sandy Springs.

Here are a couple of mysteries that should keep you guessing

KATHY MANOS PENN Columnist

There are so many authors whose new books I eagerly anticipate, it’s often difficult for me to squeeze in someone new. Returning to a tried-and-true favorite ensures an enjoyable read.

Taking a chance on someone new can result in a book I set aside and don’t finish. Color me picky.

Because I don’t review books that disappoint me, you never hear about them in my columns. My default position on reviews is that there’s someone out there who will like a book whether I do or not. A good example is “Gone Girl.” I thought all of the characters in that one were unlikable, but the book was a smash hit.

In the case of author Renee Knight’s

book “Disclaimer,” I’m glad I branched out. Once again, I have no clue where I read about the book, but the write-up must have intrigued me because I added it to my library hold list.

“Disclaimer” by Renee Knight

The blurb on the inside flap would horrify anyone: “What if you realized the terrifying book you were reading was all about you?” Imagine settling in to read a book you find on your nightstand. It sounds familiar and suddenly you see it isn’t fiction. It’s a horrible chapter in your life, a chapter you thought was known only to you.

The story paints a distasteful picture of Catherine, the main character, and as I read, I kept thinking I’d figured out what she had done. There are hints, but her transgression is left to your imagination for most of the book. You will think you know what it

was. As Lee Child says, it is “sensationally good psychological suspense … exactly what a great thriller should be.” I predict you’ll be as bamboozled as I was.

“The Paris Apartment” by Lucy Foley

Both this book and Foley’s “The Guest Book” are editors’ picks on Amazon, and now I’ve read them both. They’re equally disturbing, and both kept me guessing.

A twenty-something girl from England shows up at her older brother’s apartment in Paris only to discover he’s missing. She texted with him, and he told her how to get there from the train and that he’d be waiting for her. The mysterious neighbors in the building are less than forthcoming, even the one who purports to be a friend of her brother’s from their uni -

versity days in England.

As the blurb says, “Everyone’s a neighbor. Everyone’s a suspect. And everyone knows something they’re not telling.” Once again, I never saw the twist coming.

If you enjoy “keep you guessing until the very end” mysteries, then these two books are for you.

“THE STORY OF DUNWOODY” BY ELIZABETH L. DAVIS AND ETHEL W. SPRUILL

A Eureka Laboratory tin was discovered by workers digging on the site of the 1970 Dunwoody United Methodist Church.

Understanding the ground beneath your feet

The uppermost crust of the earth is one of the principal supporters of life on our planet. Soil provides a medium for plant life, water filtration, organic waste recycling, and has its own ecosystem. Its components are organic matter (5 percent), air (20-30 percent), water (20-30 percent) and minerals (45 percent). Mineral particles bigger than 2 mm are not considered soil. The texture of soil varies, depending on the proportions of clay, silt and sand. Topography and climate also influence soil structure.

Clay holds the most water of all soil types due to its large pore spaces. A view of highly magnified clay particles shows immense surface area and looks like pages in a book. Sand and silt aren’t as absorbent and are larger in size. Silt is finely grained, weathered rock — mostly quartz – that is between the size of clay and sand. Sand is coarser than silt and is mostly composed of silica (silicon dioxide). Other minerals will contribute to different colors of sand, depending on geography and geology. Sand particles are large, so it drains more quickly than silt or clay. The proportions of clay, silt and sand affect the water-holding capacity of a soil. Loam is described as soil that is mostly composed of sand, with silt and clay in descending proportions. Loam retains nutrients and water yet allows excess water to drain away.

Soil is made up of both abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) components. The abiotic components are minerals, water, air, and pH. The biotic components include viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, earthworms, and plant material. Plant roots bind soil particles and affect porosity and oxygen content. Dead or decaying roots create channels for water and can provide a source of nutrients from their decomposition. Root exudates and soil microorganisms interact to recycle nutrients and suppress diseases.

Here in northern Georgia, most of the soil has a lot of clay. The reddish color is due the presence of iron oxide, and the soil tends to be acidic and low in calcium. Our clay soil tends to clump and become compacted. It is, however, a great medium for nutrients and water retention. It is best not to work with it when it is saturated with water, or it will become clumpy. If it is “naked” and not covered, it can lead to water run-off problems and bake in the sun. Mulch covers help prevent this from occurring. Planting red clover or winter rye will increase organic matter and allow for air spaces in the clay soil. Do not add sand to clay soil — there is sand in it already, and this will harden it even more.

Several products can be used to improve your soil. Working organic matter into a clay soil is the best way

to improve its texture, nutrient levels, and microbiome. Compost can also be purchased at gardening centers or made at home using kitchen and garden scraps. Peat moss has become depleted, and it no longer recommended. Vermiculite is a mica-like material used as an amendment to help water and nutrient retention. It is sterile, has a neutral pH and doesn’t deteriorate for a very long time. It can lighten heavy soils and help keep grass seeds from drying out. Perlite is a natural volcanic glass that expands when heated, and has

many uses in filtration, insulation, ceramics, and other industries.

As air is a vital component of soil, aeration may be needed to improve the exchange of oxygen and cardon dioxide in the root zone. Poor aeration slows down the rate of decay and contributes to the pollutant methane gas. Watery bogs that are not aerated (such as some peat bogs) can prevent decomposition. Ancient bodies from the Bronze Age have been discovered in peat bogs in northern Europe, a testament to the lack of aeration and presence of organic components. Aeration for lawns is best done in the growing season, so that roots can regrow in the new spaces. It is not necessary to aerate every year.

The recommended treatment for all soil first begins with a soil test. Your test results, which may suggest adjusting the pH, fertilizing, and other actions, will be emailed to you once the test is completed. These actions will help provide optimal soil conditions for happy and healthy plants. Native plants are a big contributor to healthy soil ecosystems, and future articles in “Garden Buzz” will discuss native plants in detail.

As President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.” We are stewards of the land, and it begins in our own backyard.

Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Texture Triangle

Hembree Farm is a historic work in progress

Old homes, really old homes like nearly 190 years old, hold a special attraction for a modest group of homeowners. For them an old, possibly dilapidated house restored and reborn through hard work backed up with research, provides unique joys. A home that is historic because of its era and architecture puts such people in contact with the ages and can offer a unique lifestyle.

Such is the situation of Jared and Brandy Kirschner, owners of the historic Hembree Farm in Roswell. In the early 1830s, Amariah Hembree (17811855) purchased 640 acres formerly occupied by Cherokee Indians. He and his son Elihu Minton Hembree (18121873) and his carpenter brother, James Hembree Jr. (1790-1867), built the house somewhere between 1833 and 1835. It was continuously occupied by eight generations of Hembrees. The land was subdivided over time until 2007 when the final acre and the farmhouse and associated out buildings were donated by Hembree family heir Carmen Ford to the Roswell Historical Society, which made the property available for sale through a partnership with the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation. A rehabilitation agreement and a conservation easement keep the Georgia Trust involved with the property in perpetuity.

The Kirschners are not strangers to home improvement, having renovated several homes previously. In addition, Brandy is an independent TV producer who identifies and qualifies historic homes throughout the country for TV shows such as HGTV’s “Home Town Takeover” and “We Bought a Dump,” and Magnolia Network’s “In With the Old.” However, this is their first historic home restoration and preservation. They purchased the property in 2022. Their goal is to bring back as much of the original state of the home as they can. The rebirth of a historic home presents many unique challenges not associated with modern construction. “Everything is crooked at the beginning.” says Jared.

The Kirschners do much of the hard work themselves on weekends and after work with the active involvement of Brandy’s mother Yvonne Howell, who has loved history since she was a child. Yvonne is a docent at the recently opened Roswell Histori -

cal Society’s History Museum. When I visited the property recently, Yvonne was busy scraping layers of paint off an old door.

A project of this magnitude requires a team of dedicated and knowledgeable people to assure compliance with current building codes while being true to the home’s historic roots. The City of Roswell, The Roswell Historical Society and The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation have provided major support says Jared, senior vice president at Engine Shop, an experiential marketing firm. Landmark Preservation LLC of Savannah has provided consulting services at this early stage but can also help with preservation carpentry, window repair and other precise needs. Professional contractors are involved when necessary.

Ben Sutton, Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation Director of Preservation, says “We are thrilled with the care and effort that the Kirschners are putting into the property to preserve it for future generations.” Sutton refers to the house as a “vernacular home,” built without the benefit of an architect, an approach common in Georgia’s early rural history. He notes that there were six bidders for the property.

Judy Meer, president of the Roswell Historical Society, believes that the current arrangement is the “perfect ending to preserving the farm. It turned out just the way it should have,” she says.

A great deal is known about the modifications to the original house thanks to a study by preservation consultant Laura Drummond commissioned by the Roswell Historical Society in 2009. The house has been added to by successive Hembree family occupants from its original configuration “as an approximately 32’ 4” long by 16 1/2’ wide hall-parlor farmhouse with two rooms and a 10’ deep front porch.” Its current dimensions are 41’ long by 48’ 5” wide with five rooms. In November 2007, the house was moved 500 feet from its location on Hembree Road to its current site to make room for construction of several new homes. The brick chimneys were removed for the move, and they will be replaced using salvaged original bricks.

As part of the rehabilitation, the Kirschners will install new plumbing, a kitchen and a modern bathroom. They will also leave exposed a unique feature of the house, one of

It is undergoing a major restoration by new owners Brandy and Jared Kirschner. Here is the farmhouse before restoration began and before the house was moved 500 feet to make room for some new homes.

One shot at eating from the public trough

A few years ago, in a momentary lapse of any semblance of good sense, I entered a political fray and ran for a seat on the local school board. I tossed my Stetson into the ring. It got stomped and tattered.

I finished a distant third in a three-horse race. I lost to a woman who was a seventime incumbent and a gentleman who I swear, really liked the points I made during a recorded debate. I know this because every time the moderator asked this fellow a question, his response was, I swear: “I agree with what Mike just said.”

The winner lapped both of us, getting nearly 2,300 votes. I got 511 and Mr. Agreeable got around 900.

How do I remember that vote tally? It’s a legitimate question due to that meager vote total being permanently etched into my brain.

Meyers:

two adjustable metal braces found in the attic that make it possible to make adjustments to the structure if necessary. They have already removed several layers of gypsum and other wall coverings to expose the original tongue and groove wood walls.

Friends had a great time calling me “Senator” or “Your Honor.” The worst insult came when these so-called friends took to calling me “Mr. 511.” As you can tell, I didn’t have friends who were very politically savvy. I made a point of calling them out on the incorrect moniker they had hung on me.

“You should actually be calling me Mr. 510,” I chastised them. “We need to keep this accurate. The correct number was 510 since I voted for myself.”

More guffaws as I hung up my political aspirations forever, comfortable with my brief foray into politics.

I learned that it’s tough to beat an incumbent. Why? Because they know how to win an election. When the moderator told the candidates we could ask questions of one another, I almost had to get a new shirt. I was salivating buckets.

I asked the wily, elderly candidate how she was going to be as effective in her seventh stint as she was earlier in her tenure as a public servant? An innocent inquiry, one that might give me a chance.

Of historical note is that The Lebanon Baptist Church in Roswell was organized on the farm. Amariah Hembree, his family, and 13 other Christians met in the Hembree home on July 16, 1836, and organized the church. It was the first church in the area to welcome Black members. Another historical note, Elihu Hembree’s grave is located on the property. According to Find a Grave 20 Hembree family members are buried in the Lebanon Church

And just that quickly, I had no chance.

With tears in her eyes, about all I remember her saying was: “I promised myself I wouldn’t cry…” Then she cried while explaining all she had done and was going to do, even though she had been a bit distracted with life events that got in the way.

I sat there with her supporters, my supporters, the janitor wanting to go home, family friends and everyone else shooting eye-lasers at me.

I was the beast who made this sweet elderly lady cry buckets. Forget about winning the election. At that moment it would have been a victory to get to my car without being lynched.

The whole experience was a bucket list item that would be forever put away. I remember waking up the day after the election feeling quite good.

“Holy schnikies! You mean there were actually 510 politically astute Forsyth County residents who pulled a lever for a guy who ran on a platform of getting

The property includes a separate outdoor open hearth kitchen and two corn cribs. The three structures will require considerable restoration which will be done once the house is finished. Yvonne Howell has given historical cooking demonstrations at the Tullie Smith House at the Atlanta History Center and looks forward to using the outdoor kitchen to stimulate interest in history, especially among young people.

school started after Labor Day instead of early August.

For the life of me, I don’t understand how anyone would want to get elected then stay there for what seems like forever.

Can you imagine Junior asking Dad: “Nathan’s daddy is a policeman, Katie’s mom is a nurse. What do you do for a living?”

If Dad answers he’s a politician, look out. Let him explain what he actually does. I can help out.

If he’s an incumbent his answer should be: “I take other people’s money and make it disappear.”

Junior would have a lightbulb go off. “So you’re a magician?”

If Dad was honest, he’d answer: “No son. I win elections.”
