CUMMING, Ga. — A Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to a reported dispute April 9 at a home on Maple Leaf Terrace. The male caller reported an incident that occurred with a female private massage therapist.

The client said he had called and arranged a 45-minute in-home full body massage session. The therapist arrived at the home and proceeded to give the client a massage before attempting to leave after five minutes. When the client asked for his money back, he only received $40 of the $140 he paid for the entire session. The therapist refused to return the money and the client called 911 stating that he wanted the full massage that was agreed upon.

Frozen foods stolen in restaurant burglary ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A burglary was reported April 19 at Las Palmas Taqueria on Atlanta Highway. A male employee reported that when he arrived at work that morning, he noticed two locks on the exterior cooler attached to the outside of the restaurant had been cut and removed.

The suspect stole a case of assorted meats valued at $1,041 from the freezer. The Crooked Creek Storage located behind the restaurant had security cameras that captured the incident. The male owner provided the deputy with the surveillance footage before providing a description of the only vehicle that came around the back of the restaurant after it was closed. The vehicle was described as a white van similar to a conversion van with a ladder rack on the roof.

The deputy spoke with the therapist who said she had agreed to give him a private massage but was then asked for a full body massage during the session. She told the client that a full body massage was not one of her services and proceeded to leave. When the therapist entered the restroom to wash her hands, the client came in, closed the door and demanded an explanation. She explained that the client grabbed her arm when demanding his money back. She refused to return the money because she felt that her time was worth the $100.

The client denied grabbing the therapist’s arm or entering the restroom. He was referred to magistrate court to pursue his claim.

Couple reports driver fled scene of accident CUMMING, Ga. — A hit and run was reported April 21 at a residence on Windermere Crossing. The female driver and male passenger reported they were backing out of their driveway when a Black Tahoe came and failed to yield before colliding with the Jeep.

The female victim rolled her window down to tell the male Jeep driver that she would call the police. The suspect replied saying, “I’m sorry” before driving away toward Windermere Parkway. The suspect was described as an older black male wearing all black and a hat. The victim managed to get a partial tag number and added that the driver showed possible signs of impairment.

Later that day, the passenger called saying his mother had seen a vehicle matching the description on Hastings Drive. Deputies arrived and failed to locate the vehicle.

Driver with expired license found in stolen vehicle CUMMING, Ga. — A Sheriff’s deputy driving down Canton Highway April 20

investigated a black Durango parked at a stop sign on Chamblee Gap Road with its lights off and the male driver holding a cell phone. The deputy noted the driver’s license had expired in 2001.

Deputies also noted that the vehicle was not registered to the driver and was shown as stolen from Gwinnett County.

The driver was placed under arrest for driving with a suspended license.

When asked about the vehicle, he told the deputy that he had purchased the vehicle a couple of months ago and had not registered it under his name.

The driver also said the tag had been changed while a friend was borrowing the vehicle. He could not remember the name of the friend.

When the deputy searched the driver, he discovered a methamphetamine needle in his jacket pocket. A syringe containing a clear liquid was fond in his jacket while a metal pipe containing marijuana residue was found in his pants pocket. The vehicle was searched and another syringe and pipe with residue were found. The vehicle had expired registration and no valid insurance.

The driver was transported to the Forsyth County Jail.

Forsyth gets ball rolling on transit for underserved population Officials also address areas with dilapidated structures

BY PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County commissioners are moving forward with a comprehensive public transportation plan that will assess current and future needs, particularly for the disabled and the elderly.

At its April 23 work session, the commission agreed to seek a consultant who will lay in place a year-long study which will feature at least two surveys to collect public sentiment and a charrettestyle meeting for various stakeholder, like nonprofits, hospitals and members of the business community.

The study would include evaluating the current transportation system, defining the short- and long-term needs for the local population, identifying regional connections and exploring possible funding sources.

Right now, Forsyth County’s primary service for vulnerable residents is its Dial-a-Ride, which includes appointment-based van rides to appointments

or for errands. Passengers are charged $2 for each ride.

The county has $250,000 budgeted for the study, most of it through federal dollars.

At a commission work session in March, County Manager Eric Johnson said the current services are not enough to keep up with Forsyth County’s growing population.

What the county needs, he said, is a better strategy for para-transit. In the short term, he said, the county can bolster its Dial-a-Ride program, but as the need increases, something more will be required.

“Ultimately, we need a single, countywide para-transit provider, whether it’s us, whether it’s a nonprofit,” he said.

In other action at the April 23 work session, county commissioners took a deep dive into how to address blighted and dilapidated areas of the county.

At the direction of elected officials, planning staff focused on two areas, primarily occupied with mobile homes: Colonial Club Estates, north of Lake

Lanier and Glenwood Mobile Home Park, located on Atlanta Highway. The staff surveyed the area checking for conditions, such as roof and exterior wall damage, proper garbage storage and unpermitted structures.

Planning and Development Director Tom Brown said the team found a number of structures that were in such a condition as to render them uninhabitable.

The staff also found a good deal of add-ons and unpermitted structures.

In Colonial Club, 10 of the 157 homes were recommended for removal.

Another 104 homes were noted for unpermitted work.

At Glenwood Mobile Home Park, three of the 46 homes were recommended for removal. All of the homes were noted for some sort of unpermitted work.

“This is not about displacement,” Brown said. “We’re not looking to go after homes that people are living in. We’re looking at [sites] where people have long since moved out of the house, really just a visual blight and safety issue.”

Some of the structures cited have no windows or roof. Others are mere skel-

etons of what once occupied the space.

Insofar as unpermitted structures, Brown said some of the additions – porches, sheds and the like – were attempts by the homeowners to improve the property.

“Some of it did represent quality investment in this neighborhood that isn’t getting a lot of investment traditionally,” Brown said. “Not all permitting failures are to the detriment of the neighborhood. They’re just things we want to correct from a permitting standpoint.”

Commissioners backed Brown’s recommendation that the county work with its legal counsel to file nuisance abatement actions to address the dilapidated structures.

County commissioners would then vote on each case filed.

Brown will also working with Code Compliance to resolve the issue of unpermitted structures with property owners.

Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills said she would like to develop some measures the county can take to incentivize improvements to the sites, some way to encourage upgrades and repairs.

Forsyth continues to post record population growth

By ADAM DARBY adam@northfulton.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Latest figures from the U.S. Census Bureau show Forsyth County ranks third in the state for population growth, continuing a trend that took root some 10 years ago.

Census estimates show areas in the southern and western United States experienced the greatest growth in 2018, with Texas leading the way. Although 55 percent of all U.S. counties recorded population gains during a one-year span from 2017 to 2018, nearly 56 percent of counties experienced a natural increase – more births than deaths — in population.

The report ranked Forsyth County with the 33rd high-

Forsyth County Transportation Summit focuses on key projects Residents got an update on major projects and other transportation issues facing Forsyth County at the sixth annual Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce Transportation Summit April 10.

On hand was a panel of key local, regional and state transportation officials, including State Rep. Kevin Tanner, Chris Tomlinson, executive director of the State Road and Tollway Authority and the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, and Russell McMurry, head of the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Speakers and attendees focused on the current state of transportation projects in the county. The county has partnered with GDOT on several critical projects, like the widening of Ga. 400. McMurry said a transit study will be administered in the county to help identify what residents want and need from local transportation.

The summit touched on the expansions of Ga. 9 and Ga. 20. Both highways are currently being expanded with funding from Forsyth County’s $200 million bond program that started four years ago.

Ga. 9 is being widened from Alpharetta to Cumming. Officials said the project is proceeding well, but not quite as well as expected due to unexpected weather in recent months. Latest estimates put the completion date at December 2020.

Ga. 20 is being widened from Cumming to Canton. The project itself has been subdivided into six separate projects, but here have been delays. The county is in the midst of securing right of way, and once that process is completed, along with necessary environmental permitting, a construction date will be finalized.

Forsyth County Assistant County Manager Garrin Coleman reported that three road widening projects are expected in 2019. These include the widening of Bethelview Road and Pilgrim Mill Road, with many of the projects expected to be completed later this year or next year. Other projects include the widening of Old Atlanta Road and a project expanding Ronald Reagan Boulevard from McFarland Parkway to Majors Road.

County officials said they are seeking to incorporate new technologies into the county’s transportation system.

Rep. Tanner spoke about the county planning for new technologies, like electric bicycles, autonomous vehicles, and even air taxis. He said 5G technology — which would power self-driving cars — is already being installed in Forsyth County. And by this time next year, the state of Georgia will have the largest deployment of traffic signals that can actually communicate with vehicles.

On letting go Christina and I traveled to Norman, Oklahoma last week, possibly for the second to last time.

We’ll be back in a Ray appen couple of weeks for Publisher ray@appenmediagroup.com Carl’s graduation.

Amelia graduated from the University of Oklahoma, and when Carl graduates, we will have been attending the school for the better part of 10 years, although it feels longer. During that time, we have always tried to visit at least once a semester to participate, just for a few days in the life that our children live in that wonderful academic world.

We almost always sit in on as many classes as we can fit into our schedule, and both the kids — Amelia and Carl — have always been glad, I think, that we would have the interest in doing that. The professors too, I think, are usually a bit surprised, but after they figure out that there really is no hidden agenda, they almost always relax and, in the back of their minds, may even be somewhat flattered.

The visits to Norman and especially attending classes, always takes me back — way back — to that place in my

mind that will forever store my time in school. It is a bittersweet place for me. I immediately miss it and want to go back.

And while I do love what I do now and where my life resides now, that time I don’t think I will ever let go completely.

It always startles me when I hear a parent bragging about how fast their kid went through school. Other than the expense, “why,” I always think to myself, “why would you see that as a good thing?” So, they can get into corporate faster and start their 25 years of doing something for the benefit of someone else instead of spending their time learning for themselves?

We’re going to miss OU. Christina and I used to spend as much time as we could in the soft, enabling silence of the OU library. We even had a hidden nook where we would go escape to and read while the kids were in class. We’d sit for hours in two stoic high-backed wooden reading chairs, each placed directly beneath two aging framed prints — one of Shakespeare and the other Cervantes. The nook felt like our own special personal space —private space — where only reading and silence were permitted.

Continued from Page 8 Adjacent to our little hidden nook was my favorite — the great reading room with its 30-foot tall ceiling. The room itself is perhaps 150 feet long and paneled wall to wall in hardwoods.

Long narrow windows line the sides of the room and admit diffused light into vacuous space. Hand-crafted lamps — cast-iron and possibly blown glass — hang from long, black, steel chains bolted into the towering ceiling above. A dark mahogany reading table stretches through the center room like a train in the distance. Long rows of plush leathercovered oak chairs crowd both sides of the table — sentries guarding a royal procession.

Nothing moves. The air is still and feels frozen as if in a tomb. The smell of old books and curiosity from a thousand students, and then thousands more, and the passage of time — decades upon decades — seems to permeate this space.

Three stories up — or was it four — we follow Carl through the archives — deep into the bowels of the library. These books that fill endless rows of steel shelves lie dormant as if in a deep slumber — fading red, dull orange, “earthy” toned covers, deep brown leather-bound books with cracks from age — obviously unused and unread in decades, perhaps longer.

We walk slowly, taking care and slouching slightly to avoid hitting the piping running through the low ceilings.

We pass tens of thousands of books and bound periodicals as we follow him.

“Here in Oklahoma there is a law that says that the library can’t sell any of the old books or periodicals and that they must be burned instead if they want to get rid of them,” he tells us. We are alone up here. We pass no students.

Few pass these long, narrow corridors.

“We are in a vault — a time machine of knowledge and of history, “ I think to myself.

I’m glad we do not hurry.

At the end of a row, we turn a corner see a low seated narrow window emitting dull light onto the floor of the walkway, and dust particles ride the beams of light in random motion. Carl points to the small step stool off to the side, next to the window.

“This is my space,” he says, “where I can go. I sometimes sit up here for hours and read,” he shares with us.

“Does he know,“ I wonder. He will tell his children about these books, and this space someday.

Later, we walk past a non-descriptlooking three story building as we leave the library for what may be the last time. I remembered that Carl had shared with me a couple years ago that the building was one of Andrew Carn-

egie’s first charitable donations and that originally it was the OU library. Now it is where Carl takes many of his Letter’s classes — Latin, philosophy and history. As we walk past the building, I think that Carnegie would probably be pleased to see his donation is still helping bring knowledge to the world after almost a hundred years.

That night, we enjoyed a formal catered guest lecture on T.S. Elliot by a famous Elliot scholar. The next day, we showed up at what was supposed to be a very small and private “Socratic seminar “on a different literary topic. We discovered it by accident when Carl had noticed a posting on a scrap of paper pinned on a bulletin board. All it had said was “This is Water discussion,“ and gave a location and time. So, we went. What we found turned out to be a professor and four students meeting in a small conference room. But “no worries.” The surprised professor invited us to stay and participate — and we did for several hours.

The discussion was about David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech “This is Water,” which Carl discovered years ago and shared with me. I have watched the YouTube video of his speech many times and it is to this day, one of my more treasured possessions.

Near the end of the discussion, one of the students — the one who until that point had said not a single word the whole time — spoke.

“Wallace made two points,” he observed. The first was that our default is to see the world through a self-centered “me” filter that colors everything — what we see and understand and what we don’t see. “Because we look through that filter, we tend to only take note of things that impact us — the “big” things and not so much things that impact others. “ The student noted that making the decision to not focus just on ourselves is a conscious, moral choice, a decision we make every day and every hour. “It is important that we understand this because,” he said, “most of our lives are actually made up of these smaller, seemingly mundane less important moments — the points in-between. “ He couldn’t have been older than maybe 22, if that.

No one spoke for what seemed like a very long time.

As we flew home, I couldn’t stop thinking about our visit. I took inventory of the two nights and three days we spent with Carl at his university. We did a lot together. We learned a lot together in those few days. We met impassioned professors. We revisited an old library that welcomed us like we were long lost children. We felt the embrace of a long dead industrialist. And while we did hurry to pack in as much as we could together, we walked slowly enough to have noticed and read a scrap of paper pinned to a bulletin board — and experience the points in-between.

In my eyes, the folks that are members of the Chamber of Commerce and are involved in the operations and support of local chambers, that is literally where the rubber meets the road.

Brian Kemp, Governor 10 | Forsyth Herald | May 2, 2019

Governor speaks to Greater North Fulton Chamber

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Gov. Brian Kemp recounted the accomplishments of the 2019 legislative session to a packed house April 26 at the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce.

Kemp largely focused on nonpartisan issues like raising the budget for teacher pay and school security, hurricane relief and fighting sex trafficking and gang violence.

However, he did mention two of the more controversial pieces of legislation passed during his first legislative session: Medicaid waivers and abortion restrictions.

“I signed, quite a while ago now, the Patients First Act, to craft a Georgia-centric healthcare system that will help lower insurance premiums, expand access to care and improve health outcomes for our families,” he said. “We passed the LIFE act to protect the innocent and the unborn.”

Given the audience, Kemp focused on the strength of the economy and importance of business development to the state.

“I want to thank you all for your strong support and being part of the Georgia economy and for what you do putting your efforts into your small business or the companies you’re working for,” Kemp said. “In my eyes, the folks that are members of the Chamber of Commerce and are involved in the operations and support of local chambers, that is literally where the rubber meets the road.”

Kemp pointed to a couple of economic windfalls for the state, Korean

CARSON COOK/Herald

Gov. Brian Kemp speaks before the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce on April 26 at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

SK Innovations building a $1.7 billion factory in Jackson County, which is expected to add 2,000 jobs, and California-based Plastics Express building a new base in Pooler, Ga., bringing a great deal of new business to the Savannah port.

Kemp said he will continue to focus on business development and take on adoption and foster care reform.

“As you can tell, we’ve accomplished a lot in our first 100 days of my term,” Kemp said. “I want you to know we are not resting on our laurels and we are

just getting started.”

After his speech, Kemp was fed questions. Asked about President Donald Trump’s recent visit to the state to attend a conference on the opioid crisis, Kemp commended the president for his work at the federal level and highlighted work being done by the state.

Asked about Amazon, Kemp said the state would not be chasing “HQ2,” or a new headquarters, but that he was confident Amazon will continue to grow its regional offices in Georgia.

On the subject of east-west connec-

tivity in North Fulton, Kemp said he was open to innovative, market-based solutions to transit.

“We have a great problem and a bad problem in the metro area with traffic,” Kemp said. “We’re growing so fast it’s hard to outbuild that growth when you look at road and bridge problems, so we’ve got to start thinking outside the box.”

Kemp spoke as part of the Wellstar Chamber Luncheon Series. For more information about the Chamber, visit gnfcc.com.

BUSINESSPOSTS

ForsythHerald.com | Forsyth Herald | May 2, 2019 | 11

New Ga. 400 bus rapid transit may be the best answer Since GDOT and MARTA’s release of new plans to build two express lanes in each direction up Ga. 400 with bus rapid transit stops along the way, I’ve heard cries from folks as to why they are not Geoff smith extending heavy rail Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com instead. I can’t help but think that this conversation is so, like, five years ago.

Back then, there was a push from high-level officials in the North Fulton area to extend MARTA rail up to Windward Parkway. They even had a funding mechanism in place for the more than $5 billion project. The problem was that when it was brought up, the only people that rallied were those who opposed it. And I can tell you as someone who once covered local politics as a reporter, and as a casual observer over the last 20 years, the only time people tend to rally is when they are opposed to something. You never really see folks rally for something these days. I guess it’s easier to say no to something in

exchange for some magical solution than it is to stand up for something.

Four or five years ago, we had a way to extend rail and vocal voters, and then their elected officials said no.

I’m not exactly sure that this is the way this express lane idea went down, but from what it looks like, it seems that bus rapid transit is the “next best thing” to the rail-expansion idea.

The plan calls for two express lanes to be built in each direction between the North Springs MARTA station and McGinnis Ferry Road. Then for one express lane in each direction north from there to McFarland Parkway. The lanes would run mostly between the current north/south lanes with bus rapid transit stops at North Springs MARTA, Holcomb Bridge Road, North Point Mall, Old Milton Parkway and Windward Parkway.

If you want more detail, you can go to http://www.dot.ga.gov/DS/GEL/SR400.

There is a great video of what it will look like. The toll lanes would run independent of the other lanes with some access points to merge back into the standard lanes. You would need a Peach Pass to drive in the new lanes and

Canton Place Development announces partnership with Mainsail Lodging & Development ROSWELL, Ga. — Canton Place Development LLC announced on April 22 its new partnership with Mainsail Lodging & Development LLC as co-developer for Historic Roswell’s new 125-room boutique hotel.

Mainsail is Tampa-based and its regional focus includes Florida, Georgia and the Caribbean, with other developments currently underway in Atlanta and Macon.

In the first quarter of 2019, Canton Place Development also closed on two land parcels that include the Wells Fargo bank, which will be home to the hotel as well as a newly-renovated iteration of the bank, and 26 Webb Street, which will house boutique retail and office space.

The company released new design elevations for the corner of Magnolia Street and Mimosa Boulevard that include the redevelopment of the Wells Fargo bank cur-

it would cost more during peak traffic times to help ensure that traffic keeps moving. In some areas, the lanes would run on a ramp, similar to how they are on I-75 through Cobb County.

I had State Sen. Brandon Beach on my radio podcast last week. He has chaired the Senate’s Transportation Committee for the last couple of years and was excited about bus rapid transit.

“This is going to be high-end. The buses will be nice – they’ll have wifi and it will be a very nice experience for the rider,” he said.

The benefit of bus rapid transit is that there isn’t as much of an up-front cost to get it running as there is with heavy rail. So if you cannot have heavy rail, it’s the next best thing.

Most people who I’ve talked to who have seen these plans, or heard about it, are thrilled that something is happening. But there are some vocal people who still want heavy rail and have no interest in seeing any more asphalt laid down. The problem is that it took years for discussion to finally brew up in North Fulton to the point where anyone with any significance would talk openly about

rently on site.

The 2.92-acre development will be home to restaurants, retail shops, day spas, galleries, an urban market, office space, parking and lifestyle amenities near Canton Street. It is located within the boundaries of Magnolia Street, Mimosa Boulevard and Webb Street, and sits behind the store fronts facing the south end of Canton Street.

Canton Place Development is underway in discussions with potential tenants to fill the approximately 50,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and office space available for lease.

heavy rail expansion. Even if folks would have come together to support heavy rail expansion four years ago, it still would have been another 10 years or so before we would have been able to ride on it.

So if folks want to start the MARTA heavy rail discussion again, they are talking about a solution that wouldn’t come to fruition until just before 2030. The express lane/bus rapid transit plan already has a significant amount of funding in place through a $100 million bond and a $184 million-grant. MARTA and GDOT are predicting that riders will be riding on these express lanes by 2025.

Choosing a shutter style Exterior Shutters can really make or break the exterior of your home and plays a vital role in the overall curb appeal.

One of the items to consider is the STYLE of shutter that will look good on your home and give that final touch to complete the picture.

Dupbel Millworks Inc. is set up to create unique custom styles while offering a variety of standard styles to choose from. Let’s discuss some of the standard styles most commonly used.

Board and Batten Shutters A shutter typically composed of three to five vertical boards that are connected using two or three horizontal battens. These shutters inspire a country or cottage look and have grown in popularity in the last few years. The latest trend is to have multiple narrow boards to create a cleaner, more sophisticated look. This style lends itself to adding additional interest by adding diagonal pieces or even strap hinges.

Paneled Shutters This traditional style consists of panels within a frame.

This shutter style’s popularity during the last number of decades has firmly entrenched it as the “traditional look.” Especially with the panels you can select a number of styles based on your preference. We can start off with a Flat panel, giving a very smooth and minimalistic look. Or you can do the very traditional Raised panel, providing a more three-dimensional appearance. Our Shaker Raised panels gives you even more depth while keeping it very classic and stylish.

The Mission style panel is another option, where it is incorporating design elements from the Board and Batten style, but with a much more sophisticated look.

The size and placement of the panels will typically follow the window design, but lately we’ve seen a lot of deviation from the traditional to jazz it up a little bit. We can incorporate a small panel in the center, make them single panels, or even 3 equal panels, all depending on the look the home owner wants to create.

Louvered Shutters.

Louvered styled shutters are the original “classic standard,” found on period buildings such as Antebellum, Colonial, Williamsburg, Georgian and Federal styled houses. Louvered shutters create an additional architectural element to enhance the house’s façade. Louvered shutters can also be the right choice for Contemporary styled buildings wishing to create a more traditional appearance. For a slightly more modern look you can make the slats wider to give a cleaner, less busy appearance.

Dupbel Millworks Inc. manufactures exteriors shutters using only weather resistant materials. This is especially important in Georgia’s hot, humid conditions. We have a series of standard shutters styles, while fully equipped to help you design a custom style specifically for your house.

We are a full service company, and can help you from the design phase to installation.

Our business is located in Alpharetta, GA and we are proud to serve the residential and commercial market of North Georgia. We are small enough to provide you with personal attention, yet strong enough to handle complex designs.

Going Away? Tips to keep your home safe while you’re on vacation (NAPS) — Peace of mind is important to just about all homeowners, including when they’re away on a hard-earned vacation. When warm weather arrives, however, crime rates increase, according to a study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Fortunately, you may be able to reduce any vacation time stress by taking five steps to improve security—protect your windows, monitor your doors, secure your AC, make your house a difficult target and stay in the loop about what’s happening at home.

How to make it look like someone is home, even when you’re away • Stop your mail. Nothing says “there’s nobody home” like an overstuffed mailbox and a pile of newspapers on the front porch. You can fill out a simple form with the United States Postal Service asking it to hold your mail.

Or, perhaps better yet, have a trusted neighbor stop by to pick it up.

• Leave dog toys in the front yard.

Even if you don’t own a dog, you can give a burglar pause by making him or her think that you do.

• Maintain a well-kept yard. Remove tree branches that give easy access to top floor windows and cut back tall shrubs that make it easy for burglars to

hide behind.

• Add outdoor motion sensor lights to scare away those trying to walk into your yard and peek inside. With smart lighting technology, you can program your lights to come on even when you aren’t home. This feature has an advantage over automated timers because you can turn the lights in your home on or off as you please from anywhere with your Internet-connected device, or set routines through your home automation service.

• Integrate your wireless doorbell with your lights for further security benefits. Have the doorbell trigger an inside light to give the illusion that someone is home, since burglars prefer dark areas for stealth.

While you’re away, home security can act as your house-sitting service and provide real protection. Choose a security company that has 24/7 monitored protection. If you do choose to hire a house sitter when you’re away, provide him or her with a unique pin code to disarm your security system. Not only will you be alerted when the system is disarmed, you can deactivate this code once you return.

With these steps, you’ll have peace of mind on vacation.

Timeless kitchen trends for North Atlanta Between expensive appliances, beautiful cabinets, and costly countertops, we spend a lot of money on our kitchens. In fact, according to John Hogan of Remodeling Expo Center, the median spend on a kitchen remodel in North Atlanta was $43,000. To protect against falling into the “trend trap”, the trick is to incorporate timeless design elements that won’t soon go out of style. By choosing kitchen features that can stand the test of time, you’ll save yourself money (and the work of remodeling) down the line. Remodeling Expo Center in Roswell is the largest remodeler in North Atlanta and Mr. Hogan spends many hours offering clients advice on “timeless vs. trendy” design.

Here are some important elements to consider.

Neutral Paint Colors The classic white kitchen is sometimes critiqued for being a little boring—but there’s one solid reason to opt for this color in the kitchen: It will never go out of style. According to Remodeling Expo’s Kitchen Trend Report, a whopping 43 percent of renovating homeowners opted for white cabinets. Not sure which shade of white to go for? The designers at Remodeling Expo have their favorite warm variants to the classic white that everyone has in mind.

Shaker-Style Cabinets Known for their simple design and recessed-panel doors, Shaker cabinets have been in-style for more than 100 years. Shaker cabinets are popular in farmhouse kitchens, but they will also work with a variety of home decor styles.

If you haven’t shopped for cabinets lately, you’ll find over 20 different variations of the traditional Shaker Cabinet door style.

Drawer and Cabinet Organizers Organization will never go out of style. What’s hot now is creatively hiding small appliances like toasters, coffee makers and blenders, in updated cabinets that rest upon the countertop.

Features like built-in baking sheet dividers and pull-out cabinet drawers haven’t been around for that long, when hidden behind unfussy, timeless cabinet fronts, these functional features will never be outdated.

Built-in Appliances A skilled cabinet maker can make most appliances appear to be built-in , when they’re actually standard counter depth models. The built-in look will always be high-end and timeless. Will the stainless steel appliances ever go out of

style? The designers at Remodeling Expo Center all agree, “Don’t hold your breath waiting for this to happen!”

Choose Natural Materials Adding in natural materials like wood and stone will ground the space and keep it classic. If you want a timeless look, resist the urge to create an ultramodern kitchen full of shiny stainless steel and engineered materials. Instead, incorporate some natural surfaces like distressed wood on the side of the island, floating shelves or an accent wall with some wood grain and earth tones.

White Marble or Butcher Block Countertops White marble will always be an elegant choice for kitchen countertops, but if the maintenance and potential for staining has you worrying about its longevity, consider butcher block. The go-to choice for farmhouse kitchens, butcher block will wear beautifully over the years and you can prepare food directly on it.

Subway Tile Subway tile is not only versatile enough to work with many different decor styles, but you probably won’t get sick of it in five years (after all, the look’s been around for over 100 years).

While it may be tempting to go with a trendy backsplash, like metallic tiles, sea glass, or bright geometric tiles, opt for something a more simple, if you want a backsplash with staying power.

A homeowner doesn’t need to do all these things but working in a few of them usually suffices. To learn more about timeless kitchen design, contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969 or stop in the Design Center at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075.

4 myths about seller’s markets Brought to you by –BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty

home on the market this year, let’s begin by dispelling four common real estate myths about seller’s markets so you can enter the process with a clear perspective.

With home inventories low and demand for homes continuing to increase, it is a great time to sell a home in Atlanta by almost any account. Atlanta enjoyed a seller’s market for much of 2018, and many expect Rawlings that trend to continue into 2019. Add to that, a healthy increase in property values over the past several years, and it is little wonder that many Atlanta area homeowners are looking to cash in on some of their newly acquired equity.

That said, many sellers have some misguided assumptions and expectations about what it means to sell a home in this type of market and, as a result, they often make mistakes that can delay their sale or prevent them from making the most of their market value. If you are thinking about putting your Atlanta

Myth #1: I can get whatever price I ask for my home.

When demand outweighs supply in the real estate market, many homeowners assume they can price their home well above the acceptable market value and buyers will simply pay it. In reality, savvy buyers know what your home is actually worth, and they are likely to resent your presumption if you overprice it just because you think you can. No one responds well to price gouging. You still might get more than your asking price if multiple people want your home and they engage in a bidding war. Just let the buyers be the ones to start upping the offers — don’t presume to do it for them. Be sensitive to the market and price your home accordingly.

Myth #2: Staging my home is not important.

If anything, staging your home is more important in a seller’s market. Buyers are already sensitive to higher prices

While it is true that buyers have less room to negotiate in general right now, you can still turn buyers off by conveying the idea that you are not open to some of the finer points of negotiation (e.g., closing costs or improvement allowances). A seller’s market does excuse sellers from entertaining reasonable offers and engaging in a little give-andtake to close the deal.

and less buying power, which means if they’re going to spend more money on a home, they want to at least feel they are getting a good value for the money. No matter how low the inventory, if a buyer sees your home unmaintained with no sense of invitation, and they see another home in the same price point that’s been properly staged, they may go for the staged home. You always want your home to look its best when you are selling.

Myth #3: I don’t need to negotiate with the buyer.

Myth #4: My home is guaranteed to sell quickly.

No matter how strong the market is, there are still no guarantees. A home’s time on the market can be affected by many factors, not just high demand and there may be legitimate reasons why your home stays on the market longer than average. Don’t be discouraged if your home doesn’t sell immediately.

Stay the course and work with your real estate agents to make adjustments as necessary.

If you are planning to sell your Atlanta home this year, an experienced real estate agent can work with you to help you make the most of this seller’s market. For an appointment, call Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty at 770.442.7300.

City seeks input on Medlock Bridge Road

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The city held a public input meeting April 23 to hear residents’ opinions on the interim intersection improvement project at Medlock Bridge Road and State Bridge Road.

Medlock, or Ga. 141, and State Bridge is the busiest intersection in Johns Creek, seeing 100,000 cars a day.

Making improvements to the intersection is one of the highest priority projects to be funded by the transportation sales tax, or TSPLOST. The Public Works Department has studied five potential long-term improvements for the intersection, and it remains to be decided which route the City Council wants to take.

“We are working through a number of long-term solutions – a 20-year solution,” Public Works Director Lynette Baker said. “Council has decided I take a proactive manner to do something in the interim. We don’t want to do anything we’ll have to rip out to build the longterm solution.”

The interim or phase one project is

to expand Medlock Bridge to six lanes north of the intersection, and to expand State Bridge to six lanes west to Johns Creek High School.

The roads are already three lanes to the east and south.

For State Bridge Road, the plan is to add additional pavement from the inside of the road. For Medlock Bridge, the city is seeking input to decide whether to add new paving or to take a restriping approach.

The first alternative under consideration is having Medlock taper from three northbound lanes to two just north of the intersection. The third lane would become a striped off “gore” before the right turn lane turns into St Ives.

The second option is to have the rightmost northbound lane become a right turn only lane at the intersection with Grove Point Road and St Ives Country Club Parkway. Neither of these options require additional paving.

The third option is to have three travel lanes past the Grove Point and St Ives intersection before tapering to two lanes just north of the neighborhood entrances. Additional pavement would

A crowd gathers at the Johns Creek Municipal Court April 23 to give input to the intersection of Medlock Bridge at State Bridge. be needed to construct a turn lane into St Ives.

There was no overwhelming consensus from residents at the meeting.

Attendees raised questions about Forsyth commuters and potential induced demand.

Today, Medlock Bridge Road is six lanes south of the intersection and State Bridge Road is six lanes to the east.

North Medlock Bridge could be restriped to be six lanes, while West State Bridge would need additional paving.

For more information about plans or to leave feedback online, visit johnscreekga.gov/residents/public-works/ tsplost/medlock-bridge-rd-at-statebridge-rd.

In the long term, Public Works staff is encouraging the city to take an approach that would eliminate left turns at the Medlock and State Bridge intersection in order to have fewer traffic cycles and faster travel times.

The five alternatives presented to the city council in December are grade

separation, Thru-U, continuous flow intersections, quadrants and a combination of the other solutions.

Grade separation would essentially be a bridge that would allow traffic on Medlock Bridge to pass over State Bridge Road, similar to Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.

In a Thru-U design, also known as Median U-Turns or Michigan Lefts, travelers turning left move straight through the main intersection, make a U-turn at a smaller light and then take a right back at the main intersection.

In Continuous Flow Intersections, left-turning traffic crosses opposing traffic at a light before the intersection.

At the main intersection, through traffic moves in center lanes while left-turning traffic moves in outside lanes, allowing cars going straight and turning left in both directions to move at the same time.

A quadrant design would redirect turning traffic onto Medlock Crossing Parkway and a new side road.

Panel addresses mental health issues, opioid crisis

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Mental health and substance abuse are growing concerns in North Fulton, but local nonprofits are taking on the issue.

United Way of Greater Atlanta, in collaboration with the North Fulton Mental Health Collaborative, held a summit on child wellbeing April 25 to address the issues.

The event brought together leaders from nonprofits, government, schools, faith groups, and physical and mental health groups to talk about addressing mental health and substance abuse in North Fulton County.

A recurring theme of the event was that mental illness and substance abuse are prevalent in North Fulton despite the area’s affluence.

“People look at North Fulton and say things must be great,” said Scott Ashur, United Way North Fulton Advisory Board chair. “It’s an affluent community. You don’t have homelessness, they say. But that’s from the outside looking in. I think all of us living here know there are problems.”

United Way of Greater Atlanta COO Timothy Pakenham agreed.

“Across the footprint there are mental health and substance abuse issues that does not discriminate on income level, does not discriminate on race and does not discriminate on place.”

The event began with speakers from United Way of Greater Atlanta who spoke about their efforts to improve child well being across the region. Next, other speakers from the community’s behavioral health leadership spoke about their efforts.

Speakers emphasized the growing rates of mental health problems among teens and children.

“We’re seeing [thoughts of suicide and suicide attempts] across the board in all our kids, but especially concerning is how it’s creeping down into our middle school and even elementary school students,” said Cathy Murphy, director of community relations for The Summit Counseling Center.

Then, a panel brought together Fulton County Commissioner Bob Ellis, Roswell Municipal Judge Brian Hansford, Fulton County Board of Education Member Katha Stuart, Path Light Georgia Founder Britt Parramore and Avanos Senior Vice President of Global Quality Mizanu Kebede.

The thing about mental health is it’s such a wide issue.

You’ve got teens, adults, vets. It spans all income groups.”

Bob Ellis Fulton County Commissioner The panel talked about how lawmakers, courts, schools, faith organizations and medical providers can work together to address issues surrounding mental health.

“The thing about mental health is it’s such a wide issue,” Ellis said. “You’ve got teens, adults, vets. It spans all income groups. No one group is going to solve the problem, so it truly does take a collaborative effort, and a coordinated effort. Events like these help foster that collaboration.”

Events like this also help destigmatize mental illness, Ellis said, by showing

there are people who care and that there are resources to help those who are struggling.

For his part, Ellis pointed to the county’s efforts at training for law enforcement, drug take-back events, and lawsuits against pharmaceutical distributers who excessively pushed opioids.

Hansford spoke positively about courts moving from criminalization and to a treatment-focused approach for nonviolent drug offenders, but he said there was need for more coordination between small municipal courts and large county courts with more resources, to get at-risk individuals immediate help and reduce recidivism.

He also had advice for parents.

“I know we all want out kid to hit the home run and get the straight A’s and get the full ride to college, but that just isn’t realistic for every kid,” Hansford said. “It’s important we’re not putting that pressure on them because that’s what drives them to substance abuse and other problems.”

After lunch there was a mental health 101 session. To discover more educational events like this visit unitedwayatalnta.org and facebook.com/ NFMHC.

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds.

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