Four arraigned in Bender homicide case By DENISE RAY denise@appenmediagroup.com DAWSON COUNTY, Ga. — Four men were arraigned in Dawson County Superior Court March 12 in connection with the death of a young Lumpkin County woman last fall. Jerry Kyle Harper, 78, Isaac Thomas Huff, 18, Dylan Patrick Reid, 19, and Austin Todd Stryker, 24, entered their pleas in Dawson County Superior Court on March 12 to charges in the murder of Hannah Bender last fall. Bender vanished nearly a week before her body was found off Parks Road near Ga. 306 in Forsyth County in September. Harper and Stryker waived their rights to an arraignment, meaning they did not face the judge or have the charges read to them. Instead, their attorneys filed pleas of not guilty on behalf of their clients. Huff’s attorney, Daniel Sammons, filed a special demurrer on behalf of his client before entering a plea. A demurrer, Sam-

Man arrested for trespass for living at storage site FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies responded to Oak Tree Self-Storage on James Burgess Road, Suwanee, March 2 for a report of a trespasser in a storage unit. Property owner Khalid Morton told authorities that a man had entered two storage units and rummaged through their contents and damaged doors with a vehicle. Deputies say William Matthew Malpass, 44, of Olde Bridge Lane, Dallas, told them he had a contract to lease two parking spaces in the outdoor area of the storage facility for his vehicles but had decided to move them inside the facility over the weekend. Malpass was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug-related objects, criminal trespass–enter and remain and criminal trespass. He re-

Huff is charged with a number of counts, including felony murder — as an individual and as party to a crime, Sammons said in a phone interview. Under current statutes, there are four different acts to define “party to a crime” and prosecutors didn’t specify under which statute his client is a “party to a crime,” Sammons said. Dawson County Superior Court Judge Kathlene Gosselin indicated that she would rule on the demurrer later or set a hearing to settle the matter. Elise Hoyle, Reid’s attorney, was not present for the arraignment, but Zack Tumlin, an associate, offered to reach out to Hoyle and then stepped out of the courtroom. When he returned, Tumlin read a text message from Hoyle indicating that she was 90 minutes away in Habersham County, and she had not received notice of Reid’s arraignment. Hoyle’s text also

County ponders Cumming’s latest annexation bid By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Once again, Forsyth County officials are bracing for a fight with the City of Cumming over another in a continuing series of annexation proposals. This time, the city is seeking annexation of 54.2 acres just east of the city limits not far from the shores of Lake Lanier. The city’s request is on behalf of the applicant, Gateway to Lanier LLC, whose principal is listed with the Secretary of State’s Office as David Evans. Evans also serves on the Cumming Development Authority. At the County Commission’s March 10 work session, County Attorney Ken Jarrard reported the city plans to zone the tract AP, a new designation the city instituted last year. Under this zoning, the land remains at its current county zoning designation for one year, after which time, the city can change it to

whatever it desires, Jarrard said. “As we know, after that year, the county has no means of objecting at that point,” he said. “It’s a very clever way of basically trying to hedge against our objections by basically not suggesting to us what they truly want to do.” The majority of the tract is currently zoned commercial business district with the county. County Commissioner Molly Cooper said she is concerned about the “flavor” of this annexation. “The Development Authority of the city, are they targeting county-zoned property to expand their development?” she asked. “It looks like they are.” Cooper said plans for the site include 6 acres for commercial development, and the remainder will be dedicated to multipurpose development with townhomes and apartments. “So, we’re going to be losing all of that commercial out of our tax base,” Cindy Jones Mills said.

Cooper said the loss of impact fees for fire and library services will be substantial. “And as these developments come in, then the cost increases dramatically to provide those services for these developments like crazy,” she said. Cooper further stated that the proposed development is diagonal across the road from a development that includes a workout center, single-family homes, office, a bed and breakfast, and a multi-story senior living facility. “If you look at that, the craziness of the congestion there is just insane,” she said. The annexation request is the latest in a series of moves the city has made over the past year to expand its boundaries. In all, the city has filed more than a half dozen annexations with the county since last January. The county has fought several of the requests, arguing they present a stark contrast in land use than the county originally

intended. Under Georgia law, a county cannot challenge an annexation unless it can show, among other things, that the property’s new use would either add burden to the county’s services or dramatically change land use. Over the course of the past year, county officials have expressed exasperation, accusing the city of attempting a “land grab.” Commissioner Mills said she’d like to have a joint meeting with city officials so the county’s side of the argument could be heard. The city needs to realize, she said, that these developments draw heavily on county resources, like fire and libraries, without helping with the cost. “We need to talk facts,” she said. Commissioners are expected to discuss the issue further at their next work session March 24. The county has until early April to file an objection with the state to stop the annexation.

BOC proclaims Census Day 2020 FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners proclaimed April 1 Census Day during its March 5 meeting. The board stressed it is vital that all households in Forsyth County complete and submit a census form because every resident counts and deserves to be counted, Russell Brown, communications manager with Forsyth County Department of Communications said in a statement. “The census determines how the federal government distributes $400 billion in funding, including an estimated $16 billion for critical community ser-

vices, housing, transportation, healthcare, economic development and other needs and services in Georgia,” the statement read. Census data also ensures fair congressional representation by determining how many elected congressional representatives and congressional districts each state will have, Brown wrote. “The Board of Commissioners encourages every resident to accurately complete the census questionnaire on-line, over the telephone or promptly return it by mail,” the statement read.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Public schools in Forsyth County have been closed in response to efforts to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus. School officials held a professional learning day for teachers and administrators Friday, and students were allowed to retrieve items for study that same day. For this week, March 16-20, the district is holding online learning for students. On March 19, the school system will announce its plans for next week, March 23-27, following a thorough review of the COVID-19 situation. During the online sessions this week, all teachers who are leading lessons for students will work from home. All county public school events and activities — extracurricular activities, school-related trips, community school events and facility rentals — have been canceled. Forsyth County government has announced a number of closures as well. A full list, which is being updated regularly, can be found on the county’s website, forsythco.com/. Already, the county has announced several programs at the jail have been suspended. The county library system was set to close Monday, although early voting will be conducted at the Hampton Branch.

said she would file a not guilty plea on behalf of her client by the end of the day if necessary. The judge asked Reid when he’d last seen his attorney. Reid replied that he hadn’t seen her in the six months he’s been held at the Dawson County Jail. Judge Gosselin allowed Tumlin to enter the not guilty plea on behalf of Reid. “She needs to come see her client,” Gosselin told Tumlin. A Dawson County grand jury indicted the four men in December in connection with the murder. Stryker, the main suspect in the disappearance and murder of Bender, is charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, violation of the street gang terrorism and prevention act, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a knife during the commission of a felony, concealing the death of another and tampering with evidence. Huff and Reid face charges including felony murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery and concealing the death of another. Harper is charged with violation of

the street gang terrorism and prevention act, hindering the apprehension or punishment of a criminal and theft by receiving stolen property. He has been also been charged in Forsyth County for concealing the death of another and tampering with evidence. All four are in the Dawson County Detention Center. Two others are charged in connection with the case. Bailey Williams, 21, was arrested in Lumpkin County October 1 on charges of tampering with evidence. Stryker’s fiancée, Elizabeth Brooke Donaldson, is charged with tampering with evidence and concealing the death of another.

Younghouse honored as district’s Teacher of the Year By DENISE RAY denise@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Schools Teacher of the Year was announced at the Celebration of Excellence luncheon March 12 at Forsyth Conference Center in Cumming. Nancy Roche, Board of Education chairwoman, proclaimed Jessica Younghouse the district’s 2020 Teacher of the Year. “This is quite a humbling experience, something I never dreamed of,” Younghouse said. “I’m grateful to be among such extraordinary educators today and celebrate our accomplishments and our successes. Forsyth County is one of the best school systems in the state and I’m honored to represent you.” Younghouse credited her support systems throughout her life, including friends, family and colleagues. She listed her husband, Scott, as her “number one cheerleader,” her daughter, Katherine, “a close second,” her parents, Mark and Cindy, “her first support system,” her mother-in-law, Sandy, her “advocate,” and her friends, colleagues, administration and principal for their daily support. Her past inspired her present, Younghouse said, relating her struggles in education growing up. In her early academic career, she said, “I was a

fixer-upper” like the home she and her husband remodeled. A reluctant reader who found math confusing, the Keene State alumna shared her painful experiences of elementary education. “Third grade was the worst, and my first experience with a bully — my teacher,” she said. “I realized I was targeted and couldn’t realize why an adult, specifically my teacher, would target somebody that needed a little extra help with her learning.” Middle school was no better, with condemning eyes as she exited her classroom. Classmates knew why they were staying and she knew why she was leaving, Younghouse said. At the end of that year, she tested out of special education, she said. “At that point I realized that intelligence is not fixed, and I adopted a growth mindset. I realized that with my perseverance and the help of my teachers, I could accomplish any goal,” Younghouse told the audience. Teaching was something academic that Younghouse was good at, she said. She became focused on a grading scale for teachers, much like her students taking standardized testing. She became engrossed with a number and momentarily lost sight of the purpose, but quickly refocused on her students and

Forsyth County is one of the best school systems in the state and I’m honored to represent you.” JESSICA YOUNGHOUSE 2020 Teacher of the Year their engagement. “By focusing on them instead of a number, at that point, I was truly able to teach to my potential and become a distinguished teacher,” she said. Younghouse was surrounded by her family at the luncheon, all beaming with pride. “She puts so much effort into teaching, she’s always focused on her kids,” Scott Younghouse said of his wife of 17 years. His mother, Sandy Matthews, echoed his words. “She works so hard with everything she does for her classroom,” Matthews said. “They’ll come visit me, and here she comes with her bookbag. She never takes a day off. She’s grading papers, grading essays, she’s working all the time.”

Younghouse’s parents, too, were thrilled. “She is the hardest working person that I know, she really is,” her mother, Cindy Santos, said. “Anything she does, she always excels.” Younghouse’s father, Mark Santos, was overcome with emotion. “You’ve got to say something, honey,” Cindy encouraged. “She never ceases to amaze me,” Mark said of his daughter, taking several seconds to compose himself. Younghouse explained her career choice philosophically. “I want my students to improve their critical thinking skills, develop a passion for reading and really strengthen their writing, but I teach because I want to be part of their support system,” Younghouse said. “I want to be able to help them thrive and grow, be a small footnote in their success story, just like my teachers were for me.” A teacher at North Forsyth since 2006, Younghouse earned a bachelor’s from Keene State College and her master’s from Piedmont College.

Reading Jam 2020 is great success at Haw Creek Elementary By DENISE RAY denise@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County’s Haw Creek Elementary School unveiled its own story walk for students March 6 during a blustery late afternoon ribbon cutting. On hand was author Kristy Hamby whose book “Chicken Lips” was the latest addition to the school’s playground fixtures. Local business Brandywine Printing created the giant replicas of the book pages and installed them on posts around the playground. It was a $10,000 project, Claire Smith, PTA president said, supported by fundraising and the school’s PTA. “Each post is $500 installed but can cost $300 if volunteers do the installation,” Derek Brooks, Brandywine Printing owner said. Brooks said he hopes the posts are installed countywide and numerous books can be displayed and shared. Haw Creek Principal June Tribble had decided to tie the unveiling with the school’s big literacy event, “Reading Jam 2020,” which featured Hamby. Other parts of the event included a presentation of “Seussical the Musical” by second graders, book BINGO and a presentation on the benefits of reading on student

Characters from the book “Chicken Lips: One Lucky Cow,” and its sequel, were part of the fun at Haw Creek Elementary School’s “Reading Jam 2020.” The Settendown String Band consists of Terry Joe Hamby on mandolin, Brent Bearden on bass and guitarist Jimmy Loudermilk. Hamby is the farmer in the story and fatherin-law of “Chicken Lips” author Kristy Hamby. health by author Shelli R. Johannes. Tribble was pleased with the event, she said. “We feel our inaugural literacy night was a success,” Tribble said. “Many

students and parents attended. We look forward to continuing to grow this event in the future.” Smith echoed the praise for the hard work and effort that went into the event.

“The events that evening helped our students enjoy time with their families while focusing on literacy and fun activities centered around literacy,” Smith said. So, what do the students think of the story walk? “They have all absolutely loved reading the book on the story walk,” Smith said. “Each day, more and more students (and teachers) are enjoying reading and laughing at the book while on the playground. Several kids have already asked when the next book is going to be installed.” “Chicken Lips” will be changed out in August with its sequel “so the kids have something new to read,” Smith explained. Tribble’s passion for literacy runs deep. So much so, columns though out the school hallways are decorated to replicate book spines of much-loved children’s books. “Chicken Lips” is among them. There are also several “book trees” that encourage students to “take one, leave one” to help provide books for students. “Literacy is important to us because it is the basis of academic success,” Tribble said. “We want to instill a love for reading within our students and families.”

I’m overwhelmed. It just shows how blessed I am to have the support from the customers. TATE CLEMENTS, owner, Nell’s Produce Market 10 | Forsyth Herald | March 19, 2020

Community rallies to support Newtown family business By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — After permitting problems threw the future of Nell’s Produce Market into question, patrons of the longtime Newtown establishment rallied to their support. Owner Tate Clements said he has had a few sleepless nights over the past week, but he is optimistic that the City of Johns Creek and Nell’s have come to an agreement that will allow him to open for the season on April 1. In 1988, Nell Proctor opened a produce stand off of Mount Vernon Road in Dunwoody. In 1997, her family opened a second location at the corner of Old Alabama Road and Nesbit Ferry Road which is now in Johns Creek. Now in her 80s, Proctor still runs the stand in Dunwoody, and her grandson, Clements, operates the Johns Creek location. “My mom did it for years, and she retired before my grandmother did,” Clements said. “I was able to take over my mom’s half of the business back in 2008, and I’ve been running the Johns Creek location ever since.” For decades, Nell’s Produce has sold fresh fruit and vegetables from April through September. More recently, the business has extended its season, selling pumpkins in October and Christmas trees in December. Because it was founded before Johns Creek was incorporated, Nell’s Produce exists in a grey area called “legally nonconforming.” Properties that were built before the city wrote its codes are grandfathered in, meaning they do not have to comply with the city’s zoning regulations so long as they stay in operation and their site does not expand. However, Nell’s Produce is more

NELL’S PRODUCE/SPECIAL

Located at the corner of Old Alabama Road and Nesbit Ferry Road, Nell’s Produce Market offers fresh fruit and vegetables seasonally. complicated than most legally nonconforming cases, Johns Creek Community Development Director Ben Song said. At issue is a 12-by-24-foot shed that Nell’s Produce added in 2014 to house coolers. The city says it violates code. “Without coolers I’m limited in carrying certain things,” Clements said. “Leafy greens like lettuce, they just melt in the summer heat.” Clements said that at the time, he talked to the planning department about the shed, but never received a formal permit. The city says because of the temporary nature of the business, a permanent structure is not allowed. “The shed is an illegal structure,”

Song said. “It wasn’t permitted. It doesn’t meet setback requirements. It doesn’t meet the zoning ordinance related to building materials.” Further complicating matters is that Nell’s Produce has been operating with a seasonal business license. In Johns Creek, those licenses are for businesses that are open for a few months. Nell’s is open most of the year. Clements said in the first few years after the city incorporated, it was convenient not to have to drive down to Atlanta for permitting. However, as the business grew and the permitting staff changed, the process became a headache.

“I’ve been dreading going to City Hall every year to get the permits,” Clements said. “It’s not consistent from year to year — How long can I be there for? How many permits do I have to apply for?” Even the Community Development director seemed to have trouble untangling the red tape surrounding Nell’s Produce. “Every year they’ve come in, it’s been evolving,” Song said. “So many hands have touched this, in terms of their request for their permits, and it appears that different approvals may have been given.” This year, when Clements went in for his seasonal permit, it seemed like he would not be able to open, even though his season was set to start in a few weeks. He shared the news on Facebook, and his story garnered dozens of shares and comments on Facebook and Next Door. Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker said he received 20 to 30 emails on the subject, and one Nell’s patron even spoke during public comment at the March 9 City Council meeting. “I’m overwhelmed,” Clements said. “It just shows how blessed I am to have the support from the customers. I just feel so grateful and appreciative of everything they’ve done.” Song stepped in quickly to understand the unique situation and reach an agreement that will allow Nell’s Produce to open for the 2020 season as usual, though the shed will have to be gone by the time its permit expires in December. “I feel very encouraged now,” Clements said. “If we go through with what I think will go through, I think we’ll actually have more stability in the future. Hopefully we’ll have another successful season.”

“All three of my children are ELP graduates from 2017-2019. As high school juniors facing college decisions, ELP helped expand their understanding of our North Fulton community and its structure which helped guide their career interests. The contacts made with fellow students, parents and community leaders have already proven beneficial for each of them.” Emerging Leaders (ELP) is a yearlong high school program for students who wish to develop leadership skills, identify and address community issues and interact with local leaders. Students will enjoy a combination of interactive lectures, discussions, site visits, community service, and networking opportunities.

Communicating to employees, customers during scary times By KEITH BOWERMASTER Guest columnist Whether it’s a natural disaster, a criminal incident such as a mass shooting or fraud, or even a global panBOWERMASTER demic, every business — no matter the size — will at some point experience an event which could have a substantial impact on its survival. Large companies have crisis plans outlining the steps to be taken to mitigate the impact of an incident, which includes communicating to key audiences. However, many small or midsize companies lack such a plan. To help you mitigate the pitfalls of communication with employees and customers during scary times, now or in the future, here are seven steps to follow. Assemble a team: Whenever you take on a major project or initiative, you always assemble your top team to strategize and execute. The same is true when communicating during a crisis. Bring together a small, influential group of decision makers who touch all aspects of your business to create the strategy and make decisions.

Identify and prioritize: Take a deep look at your business and determine exactly who are all of the audiences who could be impacted by a change in your business. Other than the obvious employees and customers, this could include government and community officials, potential customers, contractors, etc. Then, put them in groups to determine the amount of communication they require and the type of information they should receive. Consistent channels: It’s important your audiences know from where (and who) they will receive updated information. Decide whether an e-newsletter or in-person meetings will work best, but know anything sent via email can (and probably will) be forwarded. Also, establish the cadence of when information will be sent, such as the beginning or end of the day, and stick to that schedule. One voice: Along with consistent channels and timing, there should be one entity or individual, such as Human Resources or the CEO him/herself, who delivers all information during a crisis. Open, honest messaging: Most companies talk openly and honestly with their employees and customers in regards to performance, deliveries, issues, etc. year-round, so the same

should be true during a crisis. Share the facts which are available, being sure to keep personal or proprietary information safeguarded. Be honest, and if you don’t have an answer to a question, it is OK to say “I don’t know.” Monitor and correct: During a crisis, rumors and assumptions are bound to appear. Be sure to monitor social media channels and listen to employees so you can correct misinformation in your next e-newsletter or meeting. If possible, establish a phone number or email address where your audiences can have their questions or concerns answered. Evaluate the hits and misses: Post-crisis assessments are as important as pre-crisis plans. After the fact, review how the communication plan was executed to determine what succeeded and what can be improved. By following these steps, you will keep your employees and customers well informed and confident in you and your business, leading to long-term relationships.

Have a policy in place to let top performers know they are valued

DICK JONES

Founder & President Jones Simply Sales

Are your top performers getting promoted based on the ongoing results they are achieving? Do you have a promotion model in place that encourages your employees to work hard to earn more status and money? Promoting your best

performers is beneficial in many ways, including creating a culture of excellence in your business. Promoting your employees from within your company can be a win-win situation for small businesses. Not only does it save time and money, but also creates an environment where overall morale is increased as well. Many small businesses promote their employees for the right reasons, such as their contribution to the business, increased sales

or the achievement of specific objectives. Some provide promotions for all the wrong reasons. Defining the path to a promotion is a great starting point to let everyone know what is expected of them, and what they will get if they meet or exceed those expectations. Employees who are problem solvers and demonstrate that they care about your company’s success are great candidates for promotions. Promotions from within your organi-

zations should not be done in a random fashion. In other words, when someone is promoted, it shouldn’t be a surprise to them or anyone else. Formally announcing promotions, both internally and externally, demonstrates to your employees that this is important to you. Promoting your top performers shows that you care about your employees and will help create a work environment that will help your small business achieve higher levels of success.

Emergency personnel examined the suspect and were unable to find any physical ailments. Deputies later learned that parents of the children at the school had detained the man for making threats. The Primrose School went into lockdown after the threats were made to ensure the safety of students, authorities said. The suspect was arrested for making

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — All local public high school sports have been placed on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fulton County Schools announced it would close schools indefinitely March 13 and all practices and games for spring sports teams are cancelled until further notice. Forsyth County made the decision to hold online learning the week of March 16-20 and cancelled all events, including athletics, beginning March 13. On March 12, Georgia High School Association Executive Director Robin Hines issued a statement the state literary competition scheduled for March 14 and March 21 were postponed, and the organization recommended all its member schools suspend spring sports. The GHSA does not oversee the regular seasons for spring sports, only state tournaments and state meets, so the decision to suspend play remains with individual school districts. Both Fulton County Schools and Forsyth County Schools responded soon after the GHSA statement and Gov. Brian Kemp’s urging school districts to close if they felt it was “prudent.” Local teams’ region opponents will also be out of action with the closure of schools in Cobb, Cherokee, Gwinnett and DeKalb counties.

Some local private schools also closed their doors and suspended sports. Mount Pisgah Christian School was on spring break March 9-13 and has elected to remain closed until March 23 at last word. The move cancelled baseball, golf, lacrosse, tennis, soccer, and track and field competitions slated for this week. On March 13, Blessed Trinity Catholic High School announced it would hold online learning days March 16-27. The school announced as a part of its closure that all extracurricular activities, including sports, were cancelled through March 27. The cancellation of hundreds of games throughout the state has presented the GHSA with an unprecedented situation in which the organization will have to decide how to continue the spring sport season on an expedited schedule, if play resumes. Most local programs have seen several game/meet cancellations due to weather, and most have only played a few region games. It is a similar situation for most soccer teams, with the regular season scheduled to end on April 16 ahead of the state tournament. The tennis and baseball regular seasons are set to conclude the same week. Lacrosse and golf seasons were to end April 25 and May 5. Some teams, including Milton and Forsyth County schools in Region 5-AAAAAAA, have yet to start region play in baseball.
