Resident survey shows housing need for developmentally disabled residents By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — For those with developmental disabilities, the “transitional” ages from 14-21 are a critical time in which to consider future plans, including housing. A survey was recently sent out to residents who have a family member with developmental disabilities to study what housing options are available in Forsyth County and what is needed. Laura Brackin of Brackin and Associates, who was hired by the county in January to conduct the survey for $49,421, presented some of the overall findings at the June 23 Board of Commissioners work session. The survey focused on families in the transitional period, in which those with disabilities are set to age out of schools. The survey showed that 96 percent of residents in the transition period with developmental disabilities in the county live with family members, around 20 percent more than the national average. Options for affordable housing that are also accessible for those with disabilities are “extremely limited” in the area, Brackin said. Of 50 public housing units in the county, four were accessible for those with disabilities. While private developments and non-profits provide some residences, there is a waiting list, Brackin said. She added that some families waited five years to get their child into a housing situation, and often it was not the ideal place, just the only one available. To address the issue, affordable housing needs to be made available in the county, and there should be an increase in rental assistance vouchers, she said. Most CDAR Member SWIFT Code: GMCBUS3A

of the county’s disabled residents do not work, those that do are mostly part-time employees and their average income was under $1,000 a month the study showed. There is no “one size fits all” solution for affordable housing, Brackin said, because those with developmental disabilities have a variety of needs. Providing residences for those with developmental disabilities is only part of assisting the county’s disabled population. Support services must also be offered, she said. “Just because you create affordable housing, if they don’t have the services to meet their needs, it doesn’t do any good,” Brackin said. “You have to address both at the same time.” The aging of family members who act as caretakers is another reason to address the issue. Of those responding to the survey, 21 percent were over the age of 60 and nearly two-thirds were between 45- to 59 years old. Brackin said many shared the fear that after they died, their loved ones would be placed in “host homes” she described as adult foster care and would be “pushed from home to home.” Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills suggested officials be presented with some initial steps the county could take to address housing for its developmentally disabled residents and create an “action plan.” At least one local group is seeking to assist in the cause. Keystone Village is a nonprofit group that envisioned and has planned a residential community in the county for those with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The neighborhood would provide permanent housing for those with varying levels of needs, including those who are “high functioning” to persons needing continuous care. Keystone Village co-founders Beth Burns and Tammy Miller spoke at the June 23 work session and said the group has “a lot of momentum and support” and hopes to become a “model for the state.”
County advances $1 million Brannon Road sidewalk project By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners agreed to move forward with a sidewalk project that will run along Brannon Road and a section of Ronald Reagan Boulevard. Commissioners voted unanimously at their June 23 work session to develop an engineered plan for the project. The plan was tabled at a previous work session over some confusion on the length of the project, and that uncertainty was not fully settled at the June 23 meeting. One proposal had the sidewalks ending at the Congregation Beth Israel. The other proposal called for them running the full length of Brannon Road. A motion by Commissioner Todd Levent was seconded, but some board members believed the proposal was for the shorter, 0.65-mile trail ending at the temple. After the air was cleared, the motion was passed to approve the full, 1.15-mile project. The estimated cost for engineering and constructing the sidewalks is $1,095,000 paid through Special Local Option Sales Tax 8. The cost assessment for the shorter project was $500,000, but Levent said running sidewalks to Old Atlanta Road would better serve the area. The approved project includes sidewalks from the Burger King/ Dutch Monkey Doughnuts complex on Ronald Reagan Boulevard north to Brannon Road. Another section along Ronald Reagan will run south from Mellville Drive to Brannon. The pro-

Officials explore added incentives for conservation subdivisions By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — County officials are considering updates to the conservation subdivision ordinance that could further incentivize developers to use the design strategy. Generally, conservation subdivisions give developers some leeway from city or county zoning regulations, such as lot sizes or density, in exchange for preserving natural areas and resources on the property. In November, county officials approved changes to the regulations that promoted what Planning Manager Heather Ryan called a “better quality of open space” within subdivisions. At the June 23 Board of Commissioners work session, officials discussed other policies, including how it could
incentivize developers to choose the conservation subdivision option. One possibility on the table is blending lot size requirements from the county’s Res2 and Res3 zonings to allow for average lot sizes across the development rather than one minimum for all parcels. Ryan also spurred discussion among commissioners on a plan that would allow for more density as a means of attracting developers to conservation subdivisions. That idea was met with trepidation. There were also some concerns that density would be increased through allowing for average lot sizes, but Commissioner Molly Cooper, who has worked closely in crafting the regulations, dismissed that notion. “It is not going to increase density at all,” Cooper said.
Rather, she said, it is a way to preserve natural aspects of the property like aquifers, trees and steep slopes, and in exchange, the county would allow for homes to be closer together. “What we’d like to see with this is a developer comes in with their plan and we work with them…to fit things in, like I said, with the emphasis on the preservation of natural resources,” Cooper said. Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills said those who “hate density” also do not want to see trees cut down or land flattened for construction neighborhoods, and conservation subdivisions can be an ally against such developments. “It’s really not about creating more density as much as it’s about offering, trying to preserve this greenspace,” she said. “And it also works hand in hand with not doing mass grading. The best
way to avoid mass grading is to do a conservation subdivision leaving land intact. But you can’t expect that all to occur and the developer get nothing back or nobody will use it. It will just be another thing on paper nobody uses.” Mills said if the ordinance is drawn up “right,” the county’s conservation subdivision regulations will preserve greenspace while attracting developers. Other potential updates to the ordinance include determining a minimum overall acreage for conservation subdivisions, a site analysis requirement and a site visit including the developer and county staff. County staff will use the commissioners’ comments to develop drafted updates to the unified development code which could later go up for adoption or denial by the board.
Cities cancel, adapt 4th of July festivities By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com
Avalon, which often hosts its own special events around holidays, has announced no special events planned for the Fourth, although many stores will be open.
NORTH ATLANTA, Ga. — The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced local cities to reevaluate how to host large gatherings, including traditional 4th of July celebrations. While most have canceled annual festivities, some cities are seeking alternative means for celebrating. Milton The City of Milton, for example, traditionally hosts a walking parade in conjunction with the Crabapple Community Association. The two groups have decided to cancel the event after reviewing guidelines released by state and national health authorities. However, the groups are considering other ways to involve the community during the 4th of July. Some current ideas include posting photos of patriotic outfits on the city’s social media pages; sharing images of decorated bikes, wagons and houses; and posting July 4th-themed trivia questions. Everyone, including non-Milton residents, is invited to participate in these activities. More details will be available on the city’s Facebook page, facebook. com/thecityofmiltonga. Cumming Independence Day celebrations will go on as planned in the City of Cumming but with some changes to accommodate for social distancing. Some activities, such as live music and a dance contest, have been canceled. The 63rd annual Thomas-Mashburn
Dunwoody Dunwoody traditionally celebrates Independence Day with a 4th of July parade featuring marching bands, floats, clowns, animal units and local celebrities. Last year the parade attracted more than 2,500 participants and 32,000 spectators. In early May, the Dunwoody Homeowners Association, the parade organizers, announced the parade would be postponed. There is currently no information about a rescheduled parade. Johns Creek Johns Creek historically has held its Independence Day celebration on July 3 with fireworks, a concert and children’s activities at Newtown Park. The event has been canceled for this year. Steam Engine Parade will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 4. As in years past, the parade route will end at the Cumming Fairgrounds, 235 Castleberry Road. This year, the route will be extended to allow for more social distancing. It will begin at the Forsyth County Tax Commissioner’s Office, 1092 Tribble Gap Road, and will move south on Tribble Gap/Castleberry Road through downtown Cumming toward the Fairgrounds. Fireworks will be held that evening starting approximately at 9:30 p.m. For more information, visit cummingfair.net.
Alpharetta The City of Alpharetta’s annual July 4th celebration at Wills Park has been canceled. The event, which has run for more than the past 20 years, was canceled in April when city officials were forced to decide whether to commit the funds during the early stages of the pandemic, according to Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard. The shows had proven popular, with a concert from the Alpharetta City Band, food trucks and vendors providing entertainment and refreshments throughout the day ahead of the giant fireworks display at dusk.
Roswell The City of Roswell has created a new festivity this year: Stars and Stripes around Roswell. As a part of the event, the city will place flags and banners throughout its parks, historic homes, Canton Street and Holcomb Bridge Road. All residents and businesses are invited to participate in the effort. Traditionally, organizers host a Barbecue and Bluegrass event with live music on the historic grounds of Barrington Hall. The city also usually hosts its Fireworks Extravaganza at Roswell High School in the evening. That event has been postponed to an undetermined date.

Wellstar provides update on COVID-19 pandemic By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Wellstar North Fulton is now on a better track for treating COVID-19 cases, according to Wellstar North Fulton Hospital President Jon-Paul Croom. Croom, along with Family Medicine Physician Dr. Jignesh Dholaria, spoke June 19 at a virtual panel Roswell Inc hosted on the pandemic. The North Fulton facility was one of the last in the Wellstar Health System to get a positive COVID-19 case, but like most hospitals, it struggled in the early days to get adequate personal protective equipment, Croom said. One of the main issues behind this shortage, he said, was that their usual PPE manufacturers were stationed in Wuhan, China, where the virus first surfaced. But local efforts to shelter-in-place and socially distance helped flatten the curve for hospitals like Wellstar North Fulton relatively quickly, Croom said. “One of the benefits that we had in the Roswell area is that many people live in single homes,” he said. “It’s easier to socially distance, and many people have jobs that were able to telecommute.”
Wellstar North Fulton was also able to add 50 negative pressure rooms to its facility during the outbreak by using HEPA filters, Croom said. The negative pressure rooms helped keep COVID-19 patients in isolation by preventing the virus from escaping the room. With a combination of such efforts, Croom said, the number of COVID-19 cases in Wellstar North Fulton has started to level off and has nearly plateaued. Doctors are now seeing almost the same number of positive patients as they are discharging, he said. In the past couple of weeks, the facility has begun relaxing some of its restrictions. Patients, at the discretion of their physician, can safely come in for elective surgeries or procedures, and visitation opportunities have expanded. Wellstar North Fulton, like many organizations, took a large hit from the pandemic, Croom said. “A lot of people that we must have have been incredibly busy,” he said. “Well, we were busy with COVID-19 patients, but a hospital does many, many things beyond just infectious disease.”

Businesses take grand-opening plunge amid economic downturn By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Opening a local business amid a pandemic and economic crunch is not ideal, but several Forsyth County business owners are taking the initiative to begin their new ventures and put people to work. At Halycon, the 135-acre mixed-use development in south Forsyth County, six new businesses have either opened or will begin operations in the coming weeks. The Collection shopping outlet in Cumming has also recently welcomed a new retailer. On June 20, Clarissa Gibson opened her new shop, The Gibson Co. at Halcyon. Gibson Co. is a home-décor and gift store featuring unique and one-ofa-kind creations made in-house and by local artists. Gibson had no prior business ownership experience before opening her first venture, “The Redo Gal,” a furniture restoration firm run out of her garage with her husband and mother-in-law working along by her side. The family opened their first shop in 2016 in a cottage in north Forsyth County, expanded to included décor and are now operating location No. 2 at Halcyon. Gibson said she had her eye trained on Halcyon for some time and decided to move forward with the location despite the current economic uncertainty. “While no one can predict the future, the most encouraging part of this year is that it seems like there is a new excitement in the air,” she said. “I think we have all recognized the value of spending more time with each other, laughing and dreaming. We believe this location at

Gibson Co., a home-décor and gift store at Halcyon, features unique, one-of-a-kind creations made in-house by local artists. Halcyon will provide the perfect atmosphere for that.” Gibson made a significant gamble opening her first business around six years ago, and of course, opening another location in a crippled economy is a risk, but one she thinks is worth taking. “It is a scary and exciting feeling all at once,” Gibson said. “Most great things are exactly that. It is when you turn your fear into fuel and decide you’re going to let control go, take a risk and have a little faith. And with that, here we are. Of course, there were obstacles and

of course, there still will be. Our hope is that we can use our energy and passion to do some good in our community.” At least one business opening its doors has seen an increase in sales amid the pandemic. Owner Starla Pellegrino will open the doors of Unexpected Pooch Boutique & Bistro in Halcyon on August 8. The concept blends pet nutrition and pet fashion with a French bistro environment. Pellegrino’s first location, in the Alpharetta Crossing Shopping Center, has experienced a growth in sales in recent
months despite the business switching its platform to curbside pickup, online shipping and delivery. Pellegrino said a positive attitude is “always in style,” and believes the foot traffic friendly environment of Halcyon will allow her second location to thrive, even amid a pandemic. Women’s fashion boutique Versona, which offers apparel, jewelry and accessories, opened June 11 at The Collection. The company had planned to open 156 stores this year, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that figure has been reduced to 60. Rob Dornan, regional vice president for Versona, said the company chose The Collection for the dense population of the area and that they could fill a niche the mall needed. It is an exciting time for Versona, Dornan said, because its competitors are shutting their doors while the company continues to add new locations. The pandemic, as well as the prevalence of online shopping, has cut into the pockets of all brick-and-mortar store owners, Dornan said, but people still enjoy shopping in person. Along with the Gibson Co., two other businesses opened in late June at Halcyon. Pilates and dance studio “Joey” opened June 29 and Salata, which offers customizable salads and wraps, began operations on June 25, becoming the company’s 10th location in Georgia. Two new additions have also opened in Halcyon’s Market Hall. CT Al Pastor is a quick-service concept from CT Cantina Taqueria, also in the complex. Holmes Slice features pizza from wood-burning ovens opened by Taylor Neary, owner of Restaurant Holmes in Alpharetta.

With the arrival of seasonal holidays like the 4th of July and openair picnics, BBQs and more, you may have noticed your outdoor living space needs updating. These six tips will assist you in creating and improving the functionality and aesthetics of your outdoor areas! Add a variety of seating options You can get creative with the seating options you include outside. For example, benches, chairs and even pint-size stools provide ample room for guests to relax and unwind as well as an opportunity to introduce various colors, textures and functionality to a space. If you have little ones, you can add smaller seating to accommodate them.
Install top-rated grills and appliances If you’re one for grilling out and barbecuing, having top-of-the-line appliances is a necessity. You can add one or two staple pieces or compile an entire outdoor kitchen based on your needs. Examples of top-rated options include the Weber Genesis II E-335 Propane Grill, Big Green Egg, Ruvati 32-inch Sink, HomeLabs Beverage Refrigerator and Cooler, Camp Chef Italia Artisan Pizza Oven and much more! Implement outdoor mood lighting Adding mood lighting creates an ambiance perfect for summer nights! Depending on the style you are going for, you can boost your outdoor space’s visual appeal through deck stair lighting, torches, lanterns, string lights or solar lights. These are just a few of the versatile lighting options you can enjoy while eating meals, night swimming or playing yard games. Boost visual appeal Your outdoor living area might be rather spacious, which can be intimidating to style; however, there are a few simple pieces you can implement to easily amplify your design.

GHSA makes decision to approve basketball shot clock Sidewalk: By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com GEORGIA — A colossal change to Georgia high school basketball will be implemented this season. At its June 23 meeting, the Georgia High School Association’s Executive Committee approved a 30-second shot clock which will be in place over the next three seasons. The move was heralded by the state’s basketball community, which has long shown support for a shot clock, but it Solution could present growing pains.

For years, many coaches have been clamoring for a shot clock, but there have also been concerns over finding personnel to run the clock and operate it effectively, as well as game delays when the equipment malfunctioned. But those concerns have not been enough to deter the push. Under the measure, the shot clock will be phased in. Beginning in 2020-21, the clock will only be used in select holiday tournaments and showcase games. The next season, each region will decide on using a shot clock. Beginning in the 2022-23 season, the shot clock will be used in all varsity games, including the state playoffs. One head coach in Gwinnett County reported the GHSA polled coaches last fall regarding shot clocks. The survey of over 250 coaches showed that 77 percent were in favor of the device in high school games, and only 30 percent believed running the clock was out of the feasible scope of athletic departments. Chattahoochee boys basketball is one of the few Georgia teams to compete in a GHSA-sanctioned tournament that featured a shot clock. The GHSA permitted a 30-second shot clock in a sanctioned event for the first time at the Hawks-Naismith Tipoff Classic in November 2019. For the Cougars, who won the 201920 Class 6A state championship, it was
no big deal. Head coach Chris Short said the Cougars’ fast-tempo play led to little concern putting a shot up within 30 seconds of possession. Short said the issue will be in the logistics. Schools must not only find someone to run the clock, they will need to provide compensation, which can be strained by purchasing the clocks themselves. Goal-mounted clocks come with a higher cost over floor-mounted units but are easily visible for players. Managing the connection between the clock and its operator is also a consideration. At the Hawks-Naismith tournament, Short said the clocks were wireless, but there were connection issues. Short is in favor of the GHSA using a shot clock and would like to see a goal-mounted, wired shot clock installed at his school. The GHSA’s approval comes a few months after a vote to implement a national shot clock was squashed. The National Federation of State High School Association — which oversees all state high school athletic governing bodies — voted down a proposal that would implement a nationwide, 35-second shot clock. An NFHS official said the organization will “continue to explore the shot clock issue.” Georgia will be the 10th state to use a shot clock for high school games.
Continued from Page 2 posal includes paths along Brannon Road to its intersection with Old Atlanta Highway. Commissioner Molly Cooper said the sidewalks are “desperately needed.” “People do try to walk along that road and it is very, very busy,” she said. Commission Dennis Brown said the project will serve those who use Brannon Road as a cutthrough, add walkability in the area and address safety concerns of people walking along the thoroughfare. As the county begins engineering, they will work in conjunction with Congregation Beth Israel and Chabad of Forsyth as they continue construction of a new synagogue campus and the Jewish Community Center of North Georgia. Cooper said the temple is on board with tying the sidewalks into their site plan. John Cunard, director of engineering, said minimal right of way acquisition should be needed for the project.

The troubling ‘hell’ of our isolation So many are writing so much about this pandemic. You can’t escape it. So, I find myself doing what? Yep, writing about the darn pandemic. I think it is this remote working idea that has really gotten under RAY APPEN my skin and bothers Publisher Emeritus me. I don’t see much ray@appenmediagroup.com being written about it other than the fact that it is “how things are being done.” I don’t see a lot of concern about the impact of this remote work-style paradigm might have on us. Folks don’t seem too concerned about it. And maybe it is all good — blue sky and kudos to a more efficient way to conduct business. Maybe I am in that bird-group — the “canary in the mine” club. Maybe I am that guy who insisted on horses while Henry Ford was beginning to mass produce cars. I don’t know. What I do know is that this remote communication between people just doesn’t satisfy. It doesn’t feel very fulfilling to me. Yes, the remoteness of the connections serves a need through the pandemic; it protects us from exposure to the virus. However, that Is exactly what we get — a remote connection, which is better than no connection, I guess. But is it? A case in point: all those isolated — some dying, some surviving, but all separated from their family and friends, folks who were caught in assisted care facilities when the pandemic broke out. Ask them how comforting it was to see a familiar face — on a screen or on the other side of a window — compared to being with them in person. I suspect that the degree of comfort they received from those screens was tragically and implicatively inadequate. The screen did not fill the room with love or confidence or texture of any kind. It did not bring joy or comfort. It did not fill that nagging

hole in the confined-one’s heart. It was, at best, an impotent proxy to the warmblooded human connection, no more than a passing shadow. It pains me thinking of friends who entered and remained in hospitals alone because family and friends were not allowed. It breaks my heart to think of all the families and friends of those who have died who were never able to say good-bye or to celebrate their passing in any way other than their own personal and private grief instead of at a funeral. It is hard to say good-bye when you cannot say good-bye. That pain and the loss just never moves off center. It just hovers and lingers, sort of like a virus. This pandemic is introducing us to new ways to conduct ourselves, for sure. But I am not at all sure that there is a net benefit. We already have enough trouble in our world because of our remoteness — because we are too isolated from the rest of humanity to have empathy or be impacted enough to try to fix our broken world full of broken people whose primary need is a connection to others. If one has no idea what the life of another is like, it is impossible to care very much for them one way or another. When more people are like that, our collective humanity sinks and withdraws, and ultimately what is left is at best, a shell. That is not the direction we want to go. It is the opposite of how and where we want to go. Direct personal connection is where we find safety, security, and completeness. It is the basis for our tribe. It is also our only true path to any degree of happiness. It fills the holes in our humanity, and It is an ingredient for which there is no substitute. Dostoevsky, perhaps, best described our need for humanity when he wrote: “What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.” And maybe I would take his thought just one step further and simply say that “hell is the suffering of being isolated from personal contact — face to face — and interaction with your fellow man.”

COVID: Continued from Page 5 Croom also said he is very grateful for all of the support Wellstar has been receiving from the community, from encouraging signage to various donations. “I can’t say how meaningful it is to be a part of the Roswell business community,” Croom said. “We are so appreciative.” Wellstar is still preparing for any possible rebound in cases. Dholaria cautioned that infectious disease experts are projecting a second wave of COVID-19 cases, which will likely peak in the fall when temperatures cool. Dholaria said the hospital is better prepared this time, with better testing methods and PPE supplies. “Is it perfect? I don’t think it is,” he said. “But are we getting there? Absolutely, as every day goes by. We are able to diagnose it quicker. We are able to get treatments quicker. Because of that, I think the severity of what we are seeing right now is a lot less than the severity of what we
saw when the first wave came.” The “new normal” brought on by the pandemic has not only impacted people’s physical health. It has also been a source of anxiety, depression and frustration for many people adapting to their new routines. But it doesn’t mean that people should put their lives completely on hold, Dholaria said. He urged anyone struggling with these issues to tell someone or reach out to a provider.
