Man accused of using BB gun in store heist FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies arrested a man June 22 after he allegedly pointed a BB gun at a security guard at Designer Shoe Warehouse on Peachtree Parkway after stealing merchandise. A store manager showed deputies video footage that depicted the man enter the store, grab a mesh bag from the store, put $375 worth merchandise in the bag and walk out. A security guard responded to the theft and told deputies he saw the suspect put the merchandise into a pickup truck. He said the suspect pointed a gun – later determined to be a BB gun – at him. The guard told deputies he ran away from the suspect when he saw the gun. After he had been detained, the suspect initially gave police a false name and birth date when asked for his identity, according to the report. The 40-year-old Norcross man was arrested for shoplifting, simple assault, obstruction and providing false information.

Elderly woman defrauded after her account is hacked FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A 71-yearold Cumming woman reported June 22

PUBLIC SAFETY that an unidentified suspect hacked into her online accounts and purchased items totaling $246. The woman said she received a package at her address containing a pair of Nike Air Jordan tennis shoes from online commerce site eBay, which she hadn’t ordered. When she checked her eBay account, she saw the purchase, and that the someone had asked the seller to change the delivery address to one in California. The messages the suspect sent also contained a photocopy of the woman’s driver’s license, according to the report. The woman disputed the charges with eBay, but they declined to refund her. She said she attempted to contact the seller directly, but they did not respond to her messages. The woman told deputies she had recently emailed a copy of her license to a loan company, and that she assumed the suspect got the photo of her license through that email.

Men fail in attempt to cash fake checks FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Two unidentified men allegedly attempted to cash fraudulent checks at a CITGO convenience store on Atlanta Highway June 22. The store owner called deputies and reported that the men had driven separately and parked at two gas pumps before entering the store. The men then attempted to cash two checks from different businesses totaling more than $6,300. Neither of the men provided ID, so cashiers refused them the transaction. After being denied, the men at-

tempted to walk out the store’s back exit but had to return to the front after they found the back door was locked, according to the report. The men got in their respective vehicles and left. Employees provided deputies with the information that was on the checks as well as security footage of the two suspects.

Man’s eviction attempt sparks possible threats FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A Gainesville man reported June 23 that a friend who was living with him had threatened his family. The proprietor told deputies he was letting his friend stay at his house, but that the friend does not live there. In an incident three days earlier, deputies had determined the friend did live at the house and told the proprietor that he would have to formally evict him, so the man began the eviction process. On June 23, the man showed deputies a video of the friend from a doorbell camera “stating multiple threats about killing possibly his wife and shooting law enforcement,” according to the report. The proprietor said he was afraid his friend would act on the threats if he was served the eviction paperwork. Police spoke with the proprietor’s wife, who said the friend had made threats in the past but had not made any recently. The reporting deputy did not seek warrants at the time of the report because it was unclear who the friend was speaking to in the doorbell footage, according to the report.

Charges dropped for Alpharetta man bitten by police K-9 By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — All charges have been dropped against Travis Moya, who was bitten by an Alpharetta K-9 outside

his home last summer. Melissa Roth, senior assistant district attorney for Fulton County, filed an order for nolle prosequi on June 2, saying the State of Georgia believed a jury would find “insufficient evidence” to support a finding of guilt. Moya was indicted on April 14 for three counts of felony willful obstruction of law enforcement officers and one count of misdemeanor obstruction of law enforcement. According to the initial incident report, Moya’s wife called 911 on July 25, 2021, requesting an ambulance, because she wasn’t sure if her husband had taken something. Rather than responding to a “mental health call,” about five Alpharetta police officers were dispatched to a “domestic disturbance.” When officers arrived at the home, the situation escalated, and Moya was allegedly brought to the ground, sub-

dued and handcuffed. Family members say K-9 Ares then bit Moya, but from the start, they insisted Moya was not resisting. The report states the police dog eventually let go of Moya’s upper left arm, leaving “large amounts of blood and fatty tissue coming out of the wound.” Moya also allegedly suffered a concussion from the incident. After the Alpharetta Police Department conducted a review of the interaction, including all the audio and video recordings and officer statements, it determined there was no violation of departmental policy or federal or state law. In a statement emailed to the Herald Aug. 9, 2021, Alpharetta Police Chief John Robison said he stood by his officers’ decisions and that they had followed the necessary use of force

The Fulton County Development Authority discusses approval June 28 of a $75 million tax break for a new Boston Scientific location planned for Johns Creek.

Medical manufacturer eyes plant in Johns Creek By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Massachusetts-based medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific is expanding into Johns Creek. The company produces, designs and develops medical devices and procedures for specialized health care providers. It has facilities and headquarters across the U.S., Europe, Central America, Asia and South Africa. The Development Authority of Fulton County gave final approval June 28 to a $75 million revenue bond for the facility that will provide the company a 10-year property tax abatement on its new plant. Until Tuesday, the Development Authority referred to the Boston

Scientific development under the codename “Project Lemon Lime.” Boston Scientific already has a presence in Alpharetta, and its new Johns Creek facility will be at the former State Farm campus on Johns Creek Parkway, adjacent to a newly planned mixed-use development headed by Avalon developer Mark Toro’s company. Gov. Brian Kemp’s office announced the new facility Tuesday afternoon, saying it represents a $62.5 million investment from the company and will bring about 340 new jobs to Fulton County. “As home to some of the leading universities and technical colleges in the country, Georgia produces top talent for growing fields like the life sciences industry,” Kemp stated. “I look forward to seeing the impact of this expansion

I look forward to seeing the impact of this expansion … as they keep the Peach State on the cutting edge of medical science.” BRIAN KEMP Georgia Governor here in Georgia and far beyond as they keep the Peach State on the cutting edge of medical science.” Fulton County Director of Economic Development Samir Abdullahi said the facility’s announcement gives Fulton County “the opportunity to say we stole bio life sciences out of Boston.” He said the project was a great win for Johns

Creek and would help vitalize the city’s Town Center project. Former Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker, who now serves as the Development Authority’s treasurer, said he and Mayor John Bradberry are extremely excited to welcome Boston Scientific to the city.

PRESERVING THE PAST

Couple enjoys existence within an antique world

Gasthaus Tirol German & European Cuisine Authentic, Award-Winning German and European Cuisine.

Jim and Linda Farris live in an antique kind of world. They are completely influenced by history. For starters, Jim has a passion for antique cars. He is currently restoring a 1909 Cadillac Model 30 Touring BOB MEYERS Car among others. In his collection is a 1911 Maxwell Model EA Touring car and three original, unrestored beauties including a buggy manufactured in 1890 by the Luth Carriage Company. Jim collects Civil War era daguerreotype portraits in gutta-percha frames. Gutta-percha is a kind of latex from a certain type of tree that grows in Malaysia and a few other places. It is hard at room temperature, but when heated can be molded into intricate forms. It is the precursor of modern plastic. Linda has a large collection of antique Christmas ornaments collected since she was a teenager. She says, “I never met a Christmas shop that I didn’t like.” The couple lives in a historic gingerbread house on Freemanville Road built in 1899 with rare Victorian scrollwork decoration below the front porch roof. It has been designated a City of

Milton Historic Site and is one of the most striking structures in the city. The scrollwork was possibly ordered from Sears-Roebuck back in the early 1900s, making the house truly one-ofa-kind. The home was originally a farmhouse built by Willis Cass Tucker, Jr. (1849-1925) on a 40-acre land lot from the 1832 government lottery of Cherokee Indian land. In 1907 Willis Cass sold the land and house to his son, Willis Rollin Tucker (1878-1963), who grew corn, watermelons and turnips for a living. The Tuckers were known to be a musical family and regularly held square dances in their barn. The house was extensively renovated in the 1970s, preserving as much of the original structure and design elements as possible. The renovated kitchen and fireplace were made of salvaged bricks, some from the original house and some stamped Key-James, a brickwork in Chattanooga founded in 1912. Jim and Linda enjoy playing antique paper music rolls on an Ellington player piano built in 1913. They tell time with an antique clock collection including an 18th century Tall Case clock and are entertained by a vintage Edison talking machine dating back to 1906. Jim says, “if it is a machine and

old, I am interested.” A walk through their home is a voyage into the past. Perhaps the most unique aspect of living where the past comes alive every day is the collection of hundreds of historic artifacts that the couple has uncovered in their back yard. The hunt for buried artifacts began, says Jim, “the day after we moved in in 1997.” Whenever it rains, items emerge from the ground because the property is on a slope.” The couple bought a White’s metal detector, and relic hunting soon became a family affair. When grandchildren visit, the first thing they want to do is hunt for treasures. “The excitement is palpable, and they are never disappointed,” Jim notes. Most items are found 3 to 4 inches deep. They were usually discards. There was no trash pickup back then, so objects were either thrown away or left where they fell if they ceased working. So, no coins or valuables, just everyday items that tell a story about how local people lived a century ago. Among the objects uncovered are a step from a buggy, a pot belly stove door, an oil lamp from a Model T Ford, heavy chains, plow blades, big bolts and many pieces of pottery and chunks of coal. Jim was employed by Southern Railway Company and later its successor, Norfolk Southern Corporation, in the law and finance division. Later he established his private law practice in Roswell, while Linda was a manager in crew management in the transportation division of Norfolk Southern Corporation before they retired.

Charges: Roswell’s 7th annual Summer Sippin’ returns

Continued from Page 2

ROSWELL, Ga. — Summer is in full swing, and Roswell’s seventh annual Summer Sippin’ has returned with more than 50 restaurants and food and beverage partners to help celebrate. The beverage competition kicked off June 1 and runs through the end of August when one alcoholic and one non-alcoholic beverage will win the title of “Best Sip in Roswell.” Participating restaurants include 1920 Tavern, 5/4 Meadery, A-Street, Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, Bayou’Q Smokin’ Bistreaux & Bar, Big Oak Tavern, Brookwood Grill, Ceviche, Crazy Love Coffeehouse, Deep Roots Wine Market, Doodle Pies, The Flying Biscuit Café, Fresco Cantina Grille and From the Earth Brewing Company. Visit Roswell Executive Director Andy Williams said the competition is a great way to further promote the city’s local food and beverage partners throughout the hottest days of summer. “We love that each participating establishment is able to showcase its team’s talents through their creative

d ! ite nly Lim e O Tim

beverage offerings, and patrons to Roswell businesses greatly enjoy it as well,” Williams said. Steve Stroud, executive director of Roswell Inc, said Roswell has become well known in the region as a dining and craft beverage destination. “Hospitality is one of our top five industries for jobs and brings in more than $230 million in annual revenue,” Stroud said. “Programs such as Summer Sippin’ further support the viability and growth of this sector. We encourage our residents and visitors to come out and support local this summer.” New this year, Summer Sippin’ is partnering with Bar Crawl USA to bring a Summer Sippin’ Crawl to Roswell. The one-day event will be on June 18 and feature 13 participating locations. For more details, visit barcrawlusa.com. Patrons are encouraged to order sips from participating establishments and rate them on the Summer Sippin’ app or SupperSippin.com. #SummerSipping 2022 is the official hashtag. — Chamian Cruz

standards by peace officers. The June 2 order filed by Roth states Alpharetta police officers M. Esposito, J. Frudden and C. Benfield have been informed about the nolle prosequi. Alpharetta Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard told Appen Media in an email June 28 Benfield remains an Alpharetta police officer, but Esposito and Frudden “voluntarily separated from employment with the city.” Drinkard declined to provide any further comment. A lawsuit against the department is still pending. One of Moya’s attorneys, L. Chris Stewart, issued a statement on June 29 saying they are pleased the charges have been dismissed, but that there is still “much work to be done to ensure that Mr. Moya receives the justice he deserves.” “All too often an individual’s character is assassinated and months or years later charges are dropped or dismissed,” Stewart stated. “But the damage to Mr. Moya has already been done. We are working now in the civil courts to ensure that Mr. Moya’s voice is heard and pray that the district attorney will hold that officer accountable.”

Industry innovators take on new roles

Brought to you by - Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties

After 37 dedicated years in the real estate business, Dan Forsman will be taking on a new role as Chairman of market-leading brokerage, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties. This decision was not made lightly, and it didn’t happen overnight. In fact, Forsman has been preparing for this day for years; mentoring the Georgia Properties team and guiding them with his acquired - and extensive - industry knowledge. Last year was a record-breaking year at Georgia Properties. In 2021, the firm closed $5.2 billion in sales, and is on track to do even better in 2022. Currently, Georgia Properties has over 1,500 Georgia Properties sales associates and 29 office locations with plans to continue expansion throughout Georgia. “It’s because of the extraordinary prosperity and growth of the company that we’re able to enter this new chapter of our story,” Forsman said. Leading the way is DeAnn Golden, who takes the helm at the company as Georgia Properties President and Chief Executive Officer. Golden has been with the brokerage since 2004, but she’s been in real estate for more than 26 years. She’s a second-generation real estate professional who has taken on many

roles in our industry that have prepared her for this one. “DeAnn is a fierce advocate for transformational change, a brilliant communicator but even more so, an exquisite listener,” Forsman noted. “And when she listens, she really hears you.” Golden’s passion for Georgia Properties sales associates is exceeded only by her commitment to seeing every person at the brokerage succeed. When asked what makes the company so different from all the others, Golden delivered an answer that encapsulates her human-centric leadership style: “We care.” In addition to Golden, Kathy Connelly will assume the role of Chief Operating Officer, and will lead Georgia Properties’ mortgage, title and insurance initiatives as well as continue to champion relocation and the property management business. Connelly joined the company in 1994 and held the positions of Relocation Director, Senior Vice President and most recently Qualifying Broker. She has been recognized globally for her relocation excellence and was recently appointed to the Worldwide ERC Board of Directors. Lori Lane will be President of Georgia Properties’ New Homes Division and Executive Strategist for Luxury Collection and Global Living. She joined the company in 2006 as Director of New Homes. As President, she will continue to lead the growth and

development of the New Homes Division, where she and her team have won hundreds of GAHBA Obie awards for their homebuilding clients. In 2015, she launched the iconic, award-winning Black and White Luxury Collection look and campaign, and has continued to grow the brand’s luxury real estate marketing presence. Todd Tucker will become Executive Vice President for Real Estate Brokerage and Qualifying Broker. Todd joined the firm in 1997 and has had many roles over the course of his career including Top Sales Associate, Assistant Broker, Managing Broker and most recently, Senior Vice President of Operations.

Choosing the right material for your Exterior Shutters Brought to you by - Dupbel Millworks, Inc. Shutters can make or break the curb appeal of a house and it is important to consider the different materials that shutters are made of. Prices will vary considerably between the different materials and each will have its own positives and negatives. Let’s take a look at the 4 main ones.

Wood:

prone to cupping, bending and warping, so make sure your provider adds some form of additional strengthening. Seems that the industry standard is to add metal bracing on the back to prevent some of the issues. Difficult to paint and typically comes in standard colors. Make sure from you provider what steps you’ll have to take when it comes to repainting. Can be mounted flush or on hinges.

Very traditional and good looking. Could be pricey depending in the wood species that is used. Stay away from cheaper woods like Poplar or pine that will rot, twist and split within a short period of time. Good species are Western Red Cedar and Cypress. Make sure you add some sort of a cap to the top of the shutter to prevent splitting and make sure your provider seals the wood effectively to prevent rot. Easy to customize size and styles. Easy to repaint depending on the paint used, and special care should be taken to ensure the paint seals the product completely.

Vinyl:

Cheapest option you can get, but then it will also look like that. The summer heat can play a trick on these where the shutters became brittle with color fading over time. These shutters are typically hollow and not very strong. Its recommended that they are mounted flush against the wall, although some service providers sell hardware kits to mount them on hinges. Vinyl shutters are typically 3 times cheaper than wood or composites, but remember you’ll have to pay for installation 3 times. Limited options available for size, style and color. Difficult to repaint effectively.

Composite Wood:

Pricing is comparable to wood, and although you get the look and feel of wood, you don’t have the issues that comes using wood. No rotting, swelling, twisting and if it is the right material, no insect damage. There are different composite materials available and not all are rated for extended exterior use, so make sure your provider uses the right stuff (and can prove it). Very long lasting and in some cases you even have environmentally friendly/safe options available. Easy to customize and a good provider should be able to create unique designs and styles perfect for your home. Similar to wood it will need repainting in a few years, but generally easy to do. Can be mounted on hinges or direct to the wall.

PVC:

Pricey, so shop around. This stuff will last almost forever and moisture have no effect on it. Heat does play a role and it’s

PROVIDED

Can the pace of home remodeling continue? Brought to you by - Remodeling Expo Center Throughout 2021 home remodeling seemed virtually unaffected by the Covid pandemic. Home sales continue to be robust, but the pace of home remodeling is even greater. New home buyers tend to remodel as soon as they move into their new home, but the remodeling craze seems to apply to everyone. “Our Kitchen and Bathroom remodeling business has experienced a 75% year over year increase” says John Hogan, president of Remodeling Expo Center, “and we don’t see any slowdown in sight”. There’s been a rapid change to supply chains in our entire economy and while some businesses are suffering, others are prospering. Demand for products and services are at record levels and businesses are required to re-think their supply chain from end to end; those businesses that creatively maneuver around the supply chain issues are

prospering. “Last year we re-focused all of our purchasing to those suppliers with local inventory, so we get instant access to products, then we diverted custom built products to smaller, more nimble suppliers, and finally we began to inventory some items so our remodeling jobs could get started faster and eliminate job progress interruptions. These changes weren’t easy but without them we couldn’t be in the hyper-growth mode that we’re presently experiencing, says Bobbie Kohm, Vice President of Remodeling Expo Center, “Turnkey Design-Build companies, like us, keep the process very simple”. Low interest rates are going to be around for a long time and investment in our homes is likely to continue. For more information on Remodeling Expo Center (RemodelingExpo.com), contact them at their showroom at 48 King Street in Roswell or at 404-910-3969.

5 Features of a good rental investment property location

Brought to you by - Bill Rawlings Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty

portation, a desirable school district and well-maintained parks and lawns.

If you’ve been considering an investment in real estate, the growth of the rental housing market provides exciting opportunities to expand your portfolio. There are a few things you’ll want to make sure are in place before you take on the additional financial commitment (like paying off debt and building up RAWLINGS your cash reserves), but once you’ve prepared for the added expense, it’s time to decide which property is right for you. While each real estate venture comes with its own unique contingencies, making sure you’ve picked a good location is a priority, and this can prove to be a complex process. A good location is not simply one that is appealing to you, especially when you’re researching a possible investment property. Here are a few objective factors to consider:

It also pays to know whether new commercial builds, civic infrastructure or residential developments are planned for the area, as this will increase your property’s value.

1. Look for centrality.

In general, it’s best to stay near urban areas because when cities experience population shifts, the outlying regions undergo the most severe decline in property values.

2. Analyze the neighborhood.

In addition to features like grocery stores, restaurants and shops, look for access to roadways and public trans-

3. Research future development.

4. Examine the lot.

What surrounds the lot itself can make a big impact on whether the property will be a good long-term investment. For example, is it next to a highway or a gas station? Alternatively, does it enjoy a great view or proximity to the lake?

5. Consider the house.

While a lot will always appreciate in value, the house itself will depreciate, which is why it is better to invest in a good lot or an up-and-coming neighborhood with a structure in need of some repairs than a nicer house. Whether it’s your first time or your 11th, an investment in real estate is a big step, and it pays to have a team of professionals in place to support you with knowledge and resources to help you be successful. If you would like to consult with a real estate professional on a possible investment or have any other real estate needs, please contact Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty at 770.442.7300. We would be happy to assist you! Compiled and edited by Angela Valente, Marketing Copywriter/Copyeditor
