House design bills fail in Georgia Legislature By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA, Ga. — A state bill that would prevent municipal and county governments from regulating residential building design failed to pass either chamber of the Georgia Legislature. Neither House Bill 302 nor Senate Bill 172 made it to a floor vote by March 7, or “crossover day,” when bills generally must pass through one chamber to move forward this year. The bills would have prohibited local governments from adopting or enforcing ordinances or regulations relating to building designs, such as color, material, roof shape or window or door style, on one or two-family dwellings. The bill includes a few exceptions, such as homes located within a historic district. It would also allow the regulation of home design through private covenants, such as home owners associations. Proponents of the bill argued homeowners should have the freedom to design their home to their style, while opponents said it took power away from cities and could destroy the aesthetics of neighborhoods. “This is a very dangerous precedent that they’re setting to home rule and to our ability to control the look and feel of our community,” Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker said. Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton and Forsyth County passed resolutions opposing the bill. The Georgia Municipal Association, a group that lobbies on behalf of Georgia’s cities, also opposed the bill. “It could be disastrous, I think in my mind, if this does pass,” Milton Councilman Matt Kunz said. “Because right

Neither House Bill 302 nor Senate Bill 172 made it to a floor vote by March 7, or “crossover day,” when bills generally must pass through one chamber to move forward this year now, the government that governs local governs best. I think that we do a pretty could job here in Milton and I would hate to see that go away.” Alpharetta Councilman Donald Mitchell said if these bills pass, anyone could build a house constructed of cheap materials right next to homes with brick or stone. He issued a message to the Legislature: “Pay attention to your citizens and do what we want instead of what you’re getting paid from the lobbyists to do.” Rep. Chuck Martin, a Republican who represents parts of Alpharetta and Johns Creek, serves on the House Rules committee, where the legislation was stalled. He said he was adamantly opposed to the bill. “HB 302 seeks to preempt local zoning ordinances that have been adopted by local governments in House District 49 and around the state, ordinances that protect our neighborhood home values,” Martin said. “I have vocally expressed that opposition in my questioning of the author of HB 302 in the House Rules Committee on Feb. 27 and will continue my opposition there, and as needed on the House Floor.” CDAR Member SWIFT Code: GMCBUS3A

Forsyth confronts revisions to short-term rental code County schedules forum to iron out differences BY PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — More than two years after it first surfaced as an issue, Forsyth County appears as divided as ever over regulating short-term rentals. At the County Commission’s March 7 meeting, residents on both sides of the issue recounted horror stories, parsed the Constitution and pleaded for relief. After more than an hour of debate, the matter ended in stalemate, spurring commissioners to schedule a public forum to help hammer out a compromise. At issue is whether property owners have a right to rent out homes for short periods in areas zoned for residential or agriculture. The commission was scheduled to review a draft revision to the county code that opponents said basically banned all short-term rentals. It defined short-term rentals as an accommoda-

tion for transient guests, rented for the purpose of overnight lodging for a period of less than 30 days. It excludes bed and breakfasts which have their own set of regulations. The revised document requires all operations that provide rental terms of from 1-30 days to obtain a conditional use permit. The current county code allows rental terms of six nights without a conditional use permit. The revision also prohibits conditional use permits for short-term rentals if the property is in an identifiable residential neighborhood with attributes such as a residential common area, amenity area, common subdivision name or an HOA. About a half dozen citizens from each side of the issue addressed commissioners. Opponents said the code revision deprived them of their property rights and charged that the county is overreacting to a series of complaints from one neighborhood. By and large, they said, most of the county’s approximately 250 short-term rentals operate with no issues. They argued the county already has provisions to address noise and

unruly behavior complaints. Proponents of the measure, however, argued that homeowners in residentially zoned areas have an expectation that they won’t be subjected to transient populations who have no stake in the neighborhood. They stressed that shortterm rentals increase traffic and subject neighborhoods to the uncertainty that every night, every week, strangers are lodging nearby. In a more settled environment, they argued, neighbors can address complaints with neighbors. No such relationship exists with short-term rental clients, they said. Commissioners, themselves, were split on the issue. Chairwoman Laura Semanson said that, in the end, short-term renters are operating a business, and businesses have regulations. Moreover, Forsyth County is not striking out on its own by regulating rentals, she said. Other cities and counties have enacted similar provisions in their code, she added. “There’s nothing new in this,” Semanson said, adding that the proposed revisions had been around for two months. “We’re not some weird outlier.”

Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills was less certain, suggesting the revisions were too far-reaching. At the same time, she said, no neighborhood should be subjected to the disruptions that have occurred in some cases with short-term rentals. “This is the hardest issue I’ve dealt with since I’ve been on the board,” she said. Commissioner Todd Levent said he sees more polarization on the issue and recommended a freer discussion between interests on both sides. All the progress and compromises that seemed to have gelled over the past year appear to have evaporated, he said. Levent recommended an informal forum be held where speakers from both sides can offer proposals to placate the concerns of others. He also recommended that in the interim, county officials study short-term rental plans in other jurisdictions to draft a new proposal that addresses the concerns of all interests. The commission scheduled a special called meeting on the matter for 2 p.m., March 19 at the County Administration Building in Cumming.

Hundreds turn out to learn more on Ga. 400 express lanes project By PATRICK FOX and JULIA GROCHOWSKI pat@appenmediagroup.com julia@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Roswell and Alpharetta residents had a chance recently to learn more and share their views on the latest plans for the state’s $1.6 billion managed lane project on Ga. 400. The Georgia DOT plans to add two express lanes running in each direction along the thoroughfare from I-285 north 16 miles to McFarland Parkway in

Forsyth County. The project is one of 11 initial Major Mobility Investment Programs designed to reduce traffic congestion along major corridors. MARTA is also tying into the Ga. 400 project to provide rapid transit bus service up and down the corridor to the North Springs rail station in Sandy Springs. Cities along the route are weighing in on where access points to the express lanes and where bus stations will be placed. Hundreds of residents attended two open house sessions Feb. 28 at the Hil-

ton Garden Inn in Alpharetta and March 7 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Atlanta in Roswell. Current plans call for two access points to the express lanes in the Alpharetta and Roswell area. Only one of the locations in Alpharetta will provide direct ramp access to and from the express lanes. That interchange, called Webb+, is a special overpass designed for express lane vehicles only and will be located just north of Webb Bridge Road. The second Alpharetta access point will provide vehicles already on Ga. 400 to cross into the express lanes. That access point is planned just south of Haynes Bridge Road. Tim Matthews, program manager for GDOT’s Major Mobility Investment Program, said the lane project itself will require some modifications to existing structures along the route: Widening the bridge over Mansell Road at Ga. 400 and partial reconstruction of ramps. Haynes Bridge Road bridge over Ga. 400 will require partial ramp reconstruction. Kimball Bridge Road over Ga. 400 bridge replacement will probably be necessary to accommodate a bus station south of Old Milton Parkway. Old Milton Parkway over Ga. 400 bridge will require partial reconstruction of ramps.

Webb Bridge Road bridge over Ga. 400 will likely need to be replaced to accommodate the highway widening. Webb+ will require a new bridge to provide an access point for express lane entrance and exit. Ga. 400 over Windward Parkway, where the bridge will require widening and partial reconstruction of the ramps. In Roswell, GDOT has planned one access point to the express lanes, but it will be limited to southbound traffic only. The access will be at the bridge just south of Holcomb Bridge Road. The state had earlier suggested an access point at the new Big Creek Parkway bridge, but the city rejected that idea. “We believe the express lanes will improve mobility and decrease congestion along the Ga. 400 corridor,” Matthews said. “Anywhere we’re adding access points to the express lanes in the cities, we’ll study the impact to traffic to those side roads that we’re tying into, and that will help us make that final decision on whether access is a good idea there. But in general, for the corridor itself, we believe that’s the right solution for mitigation of congestion on this corridor.” Representatives from MARTA were also on hand to discuss their plans along the route. The transit agency intends to operate a fleet of express

Veterans organizations band together to help officer

Woodall to join local leaders for town hall

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County residents can hear the latest on local and national issues at a town hall meeting March 14 at Lambert High School. Elected officials from Forsyth County, including U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall, will be on hand to provide updates on what is happening in the U.S. House, under Georgia’s Gold Dome and locally in Forsyth County. Officials from each of Forsyth County’s various levels of government and will give attendees the opportunity to get updates and provide feedback. The collective effort is designed to provide a one-stop shop for residents’ questions and concerns. “This town hall will be an opportunity for Forsyth County residents to share their thoughts and concerns with us and to let us know how we can better serve our constituents,” Woodall said. State Sen. Greg Dolezal said he looks forward to the evening. “The most enjoyable part of representing Forsyth County is spending time hearing from and getting to know our citizens,” he said. Other officials on tap to attend include State Rep. Todd Jones and Forsyth County Commissioner Dennis Brown. The event begins at 7 p.m. at the Lambert High School Auditorium, 805 Nichols Road, Suwanee.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — All four Forsyth County veterans organizations recently came together to help an Army veteran and current Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office detective. Detective Drue Green served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the 3/160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment. During his service, Green contracted Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, a chronic liver disease that causes repeat infections and eventual liver failure. Green lived with the symptoms under control for several years, but was recently told by his doctor, shortly after his daughter’s birth, that he needs a liver transplant. The condition has caused Green and his family to relocate closer to Piedmont Hospital, where he is the first on the liver transplant list. However, the move, coupled with Green’s inability to work, has put great financial strain on Green’s family, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post. The Sheriff’s Office has been raising funds using its nonprofit program, Benevolent Association Dedicated to

Giving to Employees of Forsyth County Service Organization. Founded in 2015, B.A.D.G.E. assists employees of the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office when unforeseen or unwelcome circumstances enter their lives. Recently, Forsyth County’s four veterans organizations — Forsyth County Patriots Alliance, American Legion Post 307, VFW Post 9143 and Chapter 1030 of the Vietnam Veterans of America — all stepped in to help as well. The organizations met with Sheriff Ron Freeman to donate $3,000 to the B.A.D.G.E. program. The gesture is, in part, to show solidarity between military veterans and public safety personnel, said Marty Farrell, board member for Chapter 1030 of the Vietnam Veterans of America and past commander of the Alpharetta American Legion Post. “There’s always been a sort of brotherhood just because of the nature of what they do,” Farrell said. “Both military people and public safety folks — law enforcement and fire — put themselves in harm’s way for their country and community, so there’s a kind of unspoken brotherhood and understanding.” This is not the first time the veterans organizations banded together to

help one of their own. The groups got together in the past six months to help bring a deceased veteran who was living in the Philippians back to Georgia. They also recently helped an injured veteran move from Dawson County to Forsyth County. Farrell said people can help military veterans and public safety personnel year-round with fundraisers such as the Fire Department’s annual boot drive. “There’s always opportunities to help and donate,” Farrell said.

Lambert Science Olympiad team earns spots in state tournament.

Forsyth high school teams qualify for Science Olympiad state tourney FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — For the first time, four Forsyth high school teams qualified for the Georgia State Science Olympiad tournament. Forsyth Central, Lambert, South Forsyth, and West Forsyth earned spots through their performance at regional tournaments on Feb. 23. The Georgia State Science Olympiad tournament will be held at Emory University on March 23. Georgia is one of the most competitive Science Olympiad states in the US, as one the few that receives two bids to the National Science Olympiad tournament. The four teams from Forsyth County will compete against 26 other Georgia teams for spots to compete in the 2019 National Science Olympiad. Science Olympiad competitions are run as a series of 23 events that students compete in as pairs or trios. The event topics and skills required vary from engineering, forensics, protein modeling, astronomy or

epidemiology. Forsyth Central (FCHS) is returning to the state tournament for their forth year in a row. FCHS took two teams to the Kennesaw State–Marietta regional, finishing third and seventh. Collectively, the Bulldogs earned medals in 20 of the 23 events, including four 1st place medals. Also qualifying from Kennesaw State-Marietta was West Forsyth (WFHS). WFHS fielded one team and finished in first place, earning their first-ever spot at the state tournament. WFHS won five first place medals and 16 medals overall. On the same day, South Forsyth claimed back-toback state bids by placing its two teams first and third at the Georgia Tech regional. The War Eagles were called to the stage to receive 28 medals, including five first place medals. Meanwhile over at the University of Georgia, Lambert competed in the state’s largest regional tournament. Lambert placed fifth and seventh, earned their second-ever state tournament invite and collected medals in five events.

buses with stops at four locations. Funding for the bus-only access points comes through a $100 million state grant announced last summer. MARTA says it will commit $8 million each year to maintain the buses and stations. Traci Roberson, project planner for MARTA, said the agency is in the environmental and conception phase of its Ga. 400 service. She also said the bus project remains underfunded to the tune of between $45 million-$129 million. That additional funding, she said, could come from local or state sources or from a federal transit grant. When operational, the service is designed to provide passengers with station stops every 10 minutes, Roberson said. Residents can give public comment on the project until Wednesday, March 27 using these methods: • Online at dot.ga.gov/DS/GEL/SR400 • Online at dot.ga.gov/PS/Public/PublicOutreach • Mail in a comment card to Eric Duff, Georgia Department of Transportation, 600 West Peachtree St. NW, 16th floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30308 Hardcopies of the project plans and displays used at the open houses are also available on the Alpharetta city website, alpharetta .ga.us/, or in Roswell through Rob Dell-Ross, engineering design manager with the Roswell Transportation Department, 770-594-6420. So far, Matthews said, the department has been pleasantly surprised about the amount of support they’ve seen from the public about this project. There will be another round of public information meetings next year after the department has progressed further into the project, Matthews said.

Breast cancer rehabilitation center plans March 23 fundraiser By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA — One of the only breast cancer rehabilitation nonprofit organizations in Georgia is planning its annual fundraiser. On March 23, TurningPoint will hold the 18th annual Pink Affair fundraiser from 6-11 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead, 3300 Peachtree Road. The event, which includes dinner, auctions, live music and complimentary beer and wine, directly benefits the organization’s breast cancer rehabilitation efforts. TurningPoint, unlike other similar organizations, offers several specialized treatment options, including physical therapy, massage therapy, exercises, nutrition services and counseling. There are other organizations in the area that provide one or two of these services, but none offers all of them under one roof, said Executive Director Rebecca Cowens-Alvarado. The variety of services allows TurningPoint to address several facets of the recovery journey, including the mental and emotional aspects, together. “Many side-effects of breast cancer treatment can leave a patient with pain, limited range of motion, shoulder impairment, swelling, as well as body image and emotional /psychosocial issues,” Cowens-Alvarado said. “TurningPoint approaches all facets of a patient’s recovery with evidence-based treatment to help patients move through the cancer journey and regain their lives.” The services TurningPoint provides are individualized for each patient during their recovery, as one size

does not fit all when it comes to treatment, she added. “Each patient’s needs are a combination of the specific surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments she/he experienced,” Cowens-Alvarado said. “Just as medications affect people differently, so do cancer treatments, so each patient has a unique set of side-effects and needs. The American Cancer Society recommends that specialized rehabilitation be a part of every breast cancer care plan, yet fewer than 30 percent of patients are referred for rehabilitation. If one had shoulder surgery, rehabilitation would be expected and part of every care plan.” TurningPoint was founded by Jill Binkley, a physical therapist, after she realized there was a void in specialized rehabilitation services when she was recover-

ing from breast cancer treatment. Since the founding, TurningPoint has grown and now cares for almost 700 patients a year. One patient’s husband, DJ Scalise, said TurningPoint was crucial in his wife’s recovery. “Deep, whole-person healing was needed,” Scalise said. “TurningPoint gave her that.” The program, he said, provided his wife with a safe place to rebuild, not only her physical self but her emotional self. “They provided the healing that comes with a whole community of pink warriors around it,” Scalise said. “With every visit to TurningPoint, she came home a bit more confident. With every Pilates class, she came home with a bit more strength. The doctors can cut the cancer out. The chemo and radiation can kill what was still hiding. But it was TurningPoint that gave me back my Stephanie.” The Pink Affair fundraiser will be red carpet, with WGST 640-AM mid-day personality Dana Barrett as the emcee. Funds raised by the event will help TurningPoint offer reduced fees and complementary services as well as community and healthcare provider education. This year, the event will also give guests to share their personal story through the social media campaign #MakeItPersonal, said Chair and Co-Founder Kathy Smith. Tickets for the Pink Affair start at $150 for individual seats, with reserved tables available. For tickets, visit thepinkaffair.org.

2019 BMW X2 xDrive28i

OPINION

Spaghetti westerns, German-style In the range of subcompact SUVs and spaghetti westerns, there is “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” In BMW’s range of “sport activity coupes,” the X2 xDrive 28i is simultaneously all three. JOE PARKER Let’s start with Reporter joe@appenmediagroup.com the good. With an inline turbo four-cylinder dishing out 228-horspower and a peak torque of 258 lb-ft, the X2 has plenty more get-up-and-go in the flooded subcompact market, and you can either have that power sent to just the front or all four wheels. There is also the option for more power by ponying up for the M Sport X package, which BMW says will shave the X2’s 0-60 time from 6.3 seconds to 4.9. The steering feels accurate, responsive and communicative without giving your forearms a workout in the parking lot. While I would not blame BMW for not wanting to change its slogan to “The Ultimate Parking Machine,” with an overall length of 172.2 inches, the X2 is easily maneuvered around tight, urban parking areas. The sacrifice for the X2’s sporty ride is a bit of a harsh ride — and run-flat tires don’t help — but the upside is imperceptible body roll and agility through undulations and switchbacks. Overall, this BMW drives like, well, a BMW. That immediately puts it in the upper echelon of the handling, power and the “fun-to-drive” categories in the subcompact SUV market.

Though it’s bogged down with endless menus, BMW’s iDrive system is still intuitive for the most common inputs. The system is coupled with an 8.8-inch touchscreen which is angled toward the driver along with other console dials. The X2’s sport seats are all-day comfortable, and those in the front seat will not be wanting for head or legroom if they are of an average size. Spring for the Convenience Package ($2,350) and BMW adds lumbar support and a sizeable panoramic moon roof among other amenities. However, when it comes to options, we begin to hear the spurs of the bad in the X2. It should come without surprise that one can easily dig into the deepest bits of their pockets when it comes to options on a BMW, and the X2 is no exception. The xDrive28i starts at $38,400, but add the aforementioned Convenience Package, safety features in the Driving Assist Package, harman/kardon sound system, wireless charging, Sunset Orange metallic paint and heated front seats and steering wheel included in Left Lane’s tester puts the tag at nearly $45,000. The X2’s interior styling is unlikely to offend, and while it is visually appealing, it misses the exciting mark. The interior can also be noisy at highway speeds with plenty of road noise permeating the cabin, and the engine is lethargic at low revs. And I may just be nitpicking, but console front cup holders will not fit your typical double-walled cup.

Integrate technology with life or integrate life with technology So the past few months have been a whirlwind for me. And I am not exactly sure why. My general manager and son Hans has been launching new products faster than my mind can Ray appen follow — ranging Publisher ray@appenmediagroup.com from his podcast network (Appen Podcast Network) to new email products and more. Yes, the pace of “life” is fast and getting faster. But it is everywhere else too, you know. I have always enjoyed and been energized by this business — newspapers and the media in general. Meeting new people who are making things happen; being exposed to new ideas and agendas; and the nature of this beast make just about every day different. That’s about as much as one can ask for I think. The only thing that beats it is family. I am meeting more and more people “doing their own thing,” people who had long and successful corporate careers and have opted to strike out on their own. These people, by in large, fascinate me. Recently I met Jim and Christy Noll who started iTRUST HOME SERVICES. Jim’s background includes many years on the tech and management side with IBM, HP, Bank of America and Mellon Bank. That is, he is a techie who knows how to get stuff done. And he knows that the stuff he gets done, he has to get done right. That’s a big deal to me. He is also as passionate an entrepreneur as I have met in a long while — well,

until this morning, but that is for another time. Together Jim and Christy have started a business in what they call “intuitive home automation solutions.” That translates to “intelligent technologies,” including smart, almost always digitalbased or enabled cameras, lighting, lighting controls, smart thermostats, smart locks and smart irrigation systems that “empower users to personalize protect, and control their homes from anywhere via smart phones or inside with ‘intelligent assistants’ like Siri.” Most of us have heard about these smart gadgets, like the Amazon Echo or Google’s Home Assistant. Jim uses these and more to make homes smarter, more efficient, and, yes, more fun. What hooked me with Jim and his iTRUST HOME SERVICES was not exactly that. It was something related but different. It was his determination, his utter honest transparency and his tenacity to staying on task no matter what. You see, when Jim was talking with me about integrating technology into life he shared that when he first started his business he quickly ran into a problem. Although most people liked the idea of making their homes smarter, too many balked at the idea of actually spending significant money doing it. He said that there was a disconnect between the idea of making a home smarter and a perception of insufficient relative value. “Is that why you decided to hedge your business model to include iTRUST HOME SERVICES Painting and Restoration as well as Electrical,” I asked,

Technology: Continued from Page 9 because when I saw that included in his list of services, it had puzzled me. I didn’t see where or how that low-tech stuff fit into his high-tech puzzle. He smiled and replied, “yes, but not how you are thinking.” The key, he said, was in his realization that almost all home improvement decisions are made by the wife. “It is the women who want to stay current — current with the right color paint, the right shades of flooring and types of furniture.“ Trends change, and sooner or later, he said, the decision to “update” is made. When he makes a house call for a paint estimate, he has the opportunity to share that other aspect of his business and give it value — more than enough value to make clients want to buy it. The value, he explained, is that nothing makes a newly painted kitchen, living room, dining room or entire house look better than the right lighting. “You walk into the 2-story foyer that so many North Fulton homes have, and with my smart lighting, that chandelier that is usually never turned on automatically comes to life as the door opens. Light fills the room. And these often are gorgeous and expensive chandeliers that no one ever notices.”

OPINION

Kitchens, he said, never look so grand as when the new paint and countertops — such as those Waterfall islands with their intricate stone patterns or the new built-up mitered edge countertops are showcased by the right lighting that is on at the right time at the right intensity. Smart homes, said Jim, have smart lighting that magnify color and help focus attention on design and style. “This is all discretionary spending,” he said. “I know that. I don’t sell needs; I sell wants.” And I thought that all that “smart” stuff was about clapping your hands and something happening or telling Siri to play some Van Morrison or something. Duh. Value, I learned — or relearned from Jim — is a relative term. Frame the product properly and you end up creating sufficient value in the eyes of your customer. When Jim figured out this roadblock he did what we would all do; he went out and started a paint division of his company. He bought trucks. He sought out and hired the best painters in the market, equipped them properly, paid them top dollar, and in a sense, created the demand for his core product, which was and is his Home Automation line. He is a walking, talking Harvard case study. He is yet another reason that I love my job, still. Oh yes, you can catch up with Jim and Christy at their website: iTRUST HOME SERVICES. Prepare to be amazed.

BMW: Continued from Page 8 The glaring issue with the X2 is the space for rear passengers. While the X2 is clearly meant as a sportier version of the X1, the sloping roofline significantly cuts rear headroom to the point where it is cramped for most average-sized adults. While rear headroom will not be an issue for families with young children, hauling the brood and their luggage could be. The X2 still offers 21.6-cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats erected, which is fairly commodious for the subcompact class, but it is still 6-cubic feet less than the X1 provides. Finally, there is the Ugly of the X2 and that is, for lack of a better term, its looks. I struggle to make heads or tails of the styling. Looking over the exterior, my eyes were akin to those of the Man with No Name, Tuco and Angel Eyes in the iconic cemetery shootout scene, dancing around trying to focus on multiple things at once. From some angles, such as the profile, the X2’s styling is quite subdued. From others, like head-on, it looks menacing despite the kidney-grille, which BMW has swollen to comical proportions. From the rear, the styling is busy, with upward and downward slopes at

The interior of the BMW X2. different angles and slanted rear lights cutting widely across the fifth door. And then there is BMW’s decision to plop it roundel on the C-pillar. The manufacturer says it pays homage to its classics such as the 2000 CS, but it still comes off as a bit pompous. It’s all a bit confusing. But to paraphrase Tuco, there are two types of people in this world — those who will like the X2’s styling and those that do not. Those who are in the market for a small, fun-to-drive car but still want the high driving position of a crossover, a low roofline and limited headroom in the rear will undoubtedly appreciate the X2 and all its good, bad and ugly aspects. And if you are chasing the “Ecstasy of Gold,” BMW offers the X2 in Galvanic Gold metallic paint.

Jackson Healthcare unveils $100 million expansion Taking my act on the air

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Jackson Healthcare, a family of highly-specialized healthcare staffing, search and technology companies, officially opened its new, $100 million campus expansion on March 8 to accommodate its growth. Hundreds of Jackson Healthcare associates, along with several state legislators and city leaders, flocked to 2655 Northwinds Parkway to celebrate the new 267,000 square-foot office tower and 39,000 square-foot associate amenities center. “This is one of the largest corporate campus expansions in Georgia’s history,” said Jackson Healthcare President Shane Jackson. “This is one of the most unique corporate campuses anywhere. It really took a team of incredibly talented and hardworking people to pull off something this grand, this beautiful and this complex… “Every inch of our expanded campus was designed with our associates in mind.” The new campus features innovative work and collaboration areas, and new technologies and state-of the-art amenities to foster communication, collaboration, a sense of belonging, and to enhance well-being, Jackson said. The campus is styled after an Italian piazza, complete with a fountain and a 1,385-car parking deck designed to resemble the buildings along the Piazza del Campo in Siena. The centerpiece of the campus is a 3-story amenities building, inspired by the Roman Colosseum. It houses a fitness and wellness center, an indoor pool, spray-tanning studio, and mas-

The company expects to add a salon with a blow dry bar and nail services in the future. “We are very proud to be in Alpharetta, Georgia,” Shane Jackson said. “It’s a great place to work, I think it’s a great place to live, personally, and the city’s been a great partner for us in really being flexible with some of the unique things we’re doing up here.: The new campus is expected to accommodate 1,400 new associates and is dedicated to all Jackson Healthcare associates, past, present and future, said Chairman and CEO of Jackson Healthcare Richard L. Jackson. “Today is the first chapter of building a long-term legacy that people will benefit from for years to come,” he said.

When I started writing this column six years ago, it was simply a way to try to establish some presence and credibility as a mortgage banker. I was climbing out of a deep, dark hole that was created by the explosion of the 2008 economic collapse and I needed to get out in front of more people. I knew other mortgage lenders who sent out weekly newsletters. I’d seen them. They were corny and filled with gobs of information about interest rates – something I’ve learned very few people outside of the real estate industry care a whole lot about. I thought I’d do something different. Using my skills earned as a newspaper reporter years ago, I started writing about issues that people seem to actually enjoy reading about. It has morphed into where I write about a wide variety of topics, but has mostly gravitated around the topic of economic development in Metro Atlanta. The newsletter list has expanded to the point where it now goes out weekly to more than 3,500 subscribers via email, and is printed in the Herald newspapers that are distributed throughout

I always get e-mails from readers each week and it’s fun to see the feedback. There are articles where I spend hours researching data, putting together charts and talking to experts. But I’ve found over the years that the articles where I’m on a deadline and I quickly write on a random topic — like the one I did years ago about Duck Donuts in Duck, N.C. — are the ones I get the most responses on. It has been fun and a great outlet for me. I work hard to make sure the information is accurate and that we celebrate how great this city of Atlanta and all of its suburbs have become. I’ve been to other major metropolitan cities and have talked to high-level politicians and economic development people, and they all point to Atlanta and Georgia

The more I thought about it, the more interesting the idea became. I started to think of the kinds of people I would have on my own show and made a list. Then to my surprise, many on that list agreed to come on my show, which will be recorded in the studios of North Fulton Business RadioX. We aired our first podcast two weeks ago. I was lucky enough to have Al Nash, CEO of the Development Authority of Fulton County on the show. Among other things, he gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how officials throughout the state and in the metro area worked together to bring the Mercedes-Benz North American headquarters to Sandy Springs. That was a huge win for our city, and it was fascinating to hear how that was done, and to discuss the “halo” effect from that relocation, and the economic development that is going on throughout Sandy Springs because of it.

One building on the existing campus, known as LoveLifts Village, has been dedicated for office space use by local nonprofits. Several companies helped build the new campus, including Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio, LLC Architecture and Interior Design, Choate Construction and CA South. Shane Jackson ended the ceremony by reminding everyone that the new buildings and amenities will ultimately help Jackson Healthcare fulfill its mission of service to others. “True power is best shown by understanding and serving the needs of others,” he said. “Any other manifestation of power and influence will be lost. But what can be imparted on others through service will last. Today, we recognize that as impressive as these structures are, they will ultimately crumble and fade. So, we view these buildings as they are rightly to be seen: as tools to be used in the service of others.”

Your decision today will influence the next decade by Kids ‘R’ Kids Kids ‘R’ Kids Learning Academy, located at 3036 Old Atlanta Road in Cumming, is an excellent quality childcare facility that combines learning with playing. At every stage of your child’s journey, Kids ‘R’ Kids develops new and challenging ways to open the mind and expand the imagination – it’s what we call Smart Fun. Our foundation of love and trust is accompanied every step of the way by our teachers, parents and peers. Kids ‘R’ Kids has been educating children from ages 6 weeks to 12 years for the past 10 years. Brain Development the Kids ‘R’ Kids Way Our philosophy is “Hug First, Then Teach” as we understand that secure and safe emotional attachment is vital for the growth and development of your child’s brain. Our classrooms are filled with stimulating materials that allow teachers to facilitate children’s exploration through sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch as these sensory experiences send information directly to the brain and form the platform for healthy brain growth. We understand that each child is unique, so our teachers cater to different interests and learning styles. From

infancy, your child will be exposed to many forms of language (including signlanguage), and immersed in an environment rich in language and literacy. Our learning stations are filled with math manipulatives, science elements, and stimulating visuals that support brain pathways for cognitive development. Problem solving is considered one of the best ways to support brain development, so our teachers conduct activities to help children explore cause and effect and employ questioning strategies that promote higher level thinking. Technology and the Brain Technology is everywhere, so children

need healthy exposure to be prepared for life in the 21st century. Research shows, however, that hours of exposure to digital technology can lead to over stimulation of the brain, fatigue, and irritability. At Kids ‘R’ Kids, we take a balanced approach to technology. Our curriculum has been integrated with ABCmouse, one of the latest early childhood technology tools, to enhance learning. With the guidance of a teacher, children engage in digital activities that build language, math, science, and fine motor skills. Maximizing your Child’s Mental Capacity We believe in a nurturing learning

environment, hands-on play, and novel experiences that ignite your child’s curiosity. With our exclusive Brain Waves™ curriculum and quality teachers, our goal is to provide stimulating experiences that support brain development and maximize your child’s mental capacity. From the well-trained staff members to the innovative school, children are given the opportunity to explore the world around them, establishing the basis for their future learning experiences. Infants through school age children can learn and play in the spacious school which includes: a cafeteria, playgrounds with age appropriate equipment, computer lab, library, water park, large covered patio, smart board technology, and much more! We have both a Jr. and Senior aftercare program. We service 6 local Elementary Schools. We are proud to support Toys for Tots, Wounded Worriers, St. Joseph’s Food Pantry, and Dawsonville No kill Animal Shelter. We are open for care from 6am to 6:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a complimentary tour between the hours of 9am to 11am and 2:30pm to 4:30pm, Feel free to call us and schedule a tour.
