FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Library Board members plan to select semi-finalist candidates in October to replace a director who had served almost a decade.
Forsyth County’s Library Board of Trustees will invite three candidates for on-site interviews Oct. 8 and 9, according to the library. A date for a final decision has not been determined but should occur before the board’s Nov. 18 meeting.
The board hopes the new director will begin serving in December or January.
The Library Board is working with recruiting firm Bradbury Miller Associates to replace former Director Anna Lyle. In May, the board approved a decision to pay Bradbury Miller $31,000 to find a replacement.
Board trustees met with the firm on Aug. 26 to select candidates after the job posting closed on Aug. 11. The firm received a number of strong candidates, according to the library.
Candidate video interviews were scheduled for Sept. 16 and 18.
Lyle was appointed as director in 2015 after serving for 16 years in human resources and finance management for the library.
She oversaw the expansion and renovation of the Sharon Forks Library, design and construction for the Denmark Library, digitization of the Forsyth County News, introduction of a world languages collection and design and launch of one of the first modern mobile libraries in the state.

Greenway closure irks residents
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Residents have lodged complaints about what they view as a lack of urgency from Forsyth County to repair and reopen an almost 2-mile stretch of the Big Creek Greenway closed due to water damage. The trail’s Phase 4 section between

the Bethelview Trailhead and Kelly Mill Road closed in August so the county can evaluate the trail and determine what renovations may be needed.
“It is devastating,” resident Kathleen Reilly said at a Sept. 3 Board of Commissioners meeting. Reilly, who lives near that part of the trail, said she uses the Greenway almost every day.
Communications Director Russell
Brown said the county has no estimate for when renovations may be completed. The county will need to examine the boardwalk before deciding the scope of work to repair it.
“It’s an unfortunate thing to have happen, but unfortunately it’s the reality the county has to face,” he said.

Deputies charge woman with speeding, drug offense
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A 26-yearold Ellenwood woman was arrested and charged with drug possession and traffic misdemeanors Sept. 2.
A deputy stopped the woman after seeing her vehicle speeding in a Ga. 400 construction zone near Union Hill Road, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office report. The deputy clocked the vehicle at 85 mph in a 55 mph zone.
The woman was “extremely nervous” and shaking when the deputy spoke with her. The deputy handcuffed the woman after determining her driver’s license had been suspended for failing to appear in court.
While searching her vehicle, authorities discovered a small plastic bag containing a substance suspected of being marijuana. They also found a pill thought to contain the opioid oxycodone.
Deputies charged the woman with felony possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, speeding in a construction site and driving while license suspended.
Cumming woman reports online sexual extortion
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies received a report of sexual extortion Sept. 2.
A Cumming woman reported receiving an email claiming the sender had installed software that allowed access to her phone’s camera, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office report.
The letter, which was saved as a PDF file, said the sender had recorded “inappropriate” videos through the camera and demanded she pay a Bitcoin ransom. It also threatened to send the videos to her phone’s contacts if she did not comply.
The letter included the woman’s phone number, an address where she had once
lived and a picture of a neighbor’s house, which appeared to have been downloaded from Google.
The woman said she worried the threat could be legitimate.
Valuable jewelry taken in residential burglary
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A Johns Creek couple reported to police Sept. 4 that their home off Quailbrook Chase had been burglarized.
The husband told police that while they were away, their windows and doors had been secured. When he returned, he noticed a backdoor was open and there was glass on the floor, according to the incident report.
Police cleared the residence and found that a back window had been broken and that multiple drawers had been rummaged through.
The couple reported that four watches and other jewelry were taken from the master bedroom. According to the incident report, the missing items are valued at $3,000.
Officers arrest driver in hit-and-run incident
ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell Police arrested a 25-year-old Florida man Sept. 4 after he allegedly fled the scene of a hit and run at Holcomb Bridge Road and Holcomb Woods Parkway.
The victim, a 24-year-old Roswell woman, said a silver Chrysler sedan with a Florida license plate struck her vehicle around 10:40 a.m. and then drove off.
An officer said he contacted the vehicle’s registered owner who told him her nephew was driving the car.
The officer said the registered owner instructed her nephew to return to the scene of the accident near the Holcomb Bridge ConneXion shopping center.
It is not clear how the caller, living in Bradenton, Florida, got the vehicle to her nephew living in Alpharetta.
Officers said the Florida man told them through translators that the victim’s vehicle swerved in his lane and struck his 2015 Chrysler 200.
After reviewing security footage of the incident, officers said the Chrysler crossed over two lanes while turning onto the roadway and hit the woman’s car.
Officers arrested the Florida man and issued him four citations for hit and run, no insurance, instructional permit violation and failure to yield entering the roadway.
Couple sought for theft of $5,000 in store items
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Almost $5,000 in beauty products were reported stolen from a North Point Parkway store Aug. 21.
Police were dispatched to the store where an employee said a man and woman had stolen the items, according to an Alpharetta police report. A total of 41 Dior items valued at $2,286 and 50 La RochePosay items valued at $2,201.50 were reported stolen.
The employee said surveillance cameras recorded the man and woman entering the store on Aug. 17 and stealing the items.
The man placed the items into a large black handbag the woman was holding.
The employee said the two have been seen shoplifting from their company’s stores in the past.
Atlanta man reports assault at hands of former dealer
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — An Atlanta man reported an aggravated assault on Sept. 2, saying a man had hit him with a pistol.
Police interviewed a man whose head was bleeding about 5 p.m. on North Point Parkway, according to an Alpharetta police report. He told officers he was attacked after getting off the bus to work at a restaurant.
The man told police he was approached by another man, who struck him after an argument. The injured man said his assailant had previously threatened, shot at and struck him.
The injured man said he used to purchase marijuana from him.
Police did not apply for warrants because they did not know the legal name of the alleged attacker.
Commissioners weigh revising planning code to govern data centers
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County commissioners turned their heads to the cloud Sept. 10 when they considered how to fit data centers into the planned development process.
At issue is whether the county should adjust its Unified Development Code to address the growing popularity of the buildings, which are used to secure computer and telecommunications systems.
While no clear consensus was reached at the work session, commissioners plan to revisit the topic in the future.
The discussion arose after the Forsyth County Commissioner granted unanimous approval at an Aug. 15 meeting for a data center to conduct round-the-clock business at a property within the central business district.
Commissioners are studying potential definitions and regulations. A data center could be defined as a business engaged in the storage, management, processing or transmission of data, potentially housing servers or other computer and network equipment.
The term data center could be applied to a wide variety of businesses that work with digital information, from crypto currency mining operations to AI computing centers to data storage
hubs run by companies like Google and EWSolutions.
“You’ll get different data centers doing different things,” Commissioner Kerry Hill said. “And really it’s just a whole bunch of computers in a room.”
Discussion about data centers is becoming increasingly important for the county, Commission Chairman Alfred John said.
“You’ve got to have an umbrella approach to all of this,” he said. “As quantum computing starts taking over, you’re going to have even the regular data centers just accelerate, and then we’re stuck not planning for it.”
Commissioners plan to look at a variety of considerations for data centers’ unique needs.
Cooling the computers at data centers may require closed loop or evaporative systems using potable or nonpotable water, according to county documents. They also may require special sewer needs and water consumption limits.
Their noise levels may demand initial or ongoing testing and acoustical screening. Commissioners plan to discuss definitions related to that testing.
Enhanced security lighting at the centers, some operating 24 hours a day, may have an effect on neighboring properties.
The commission also may discuss considerations about size, parking and building materials.

Johns Creek adopts FY25 budget, purchases land for Town Center
By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Amid heated debate, the Johns Creek City Council adopted a $79.9 million fiscal year 2025 budget Sept. 9.
About half of the city’s budget goes to public safety, and that includes a couple of major initiatives — five new police officer positions and vehicles as well as the rebuild of Fire Station 63, the city’s oldest fire station.
The budget will also fund expanded parking for the courts at Cauley Creek Park, baseball field lighting at Ocee Park, and a wellness initiative for city employees developed to offset the cost of rising health care rates.
After Finance Director Ronnie Campbell presented the budget, City Councilwoman Stacy Skinner proposed a few changes.
One was to reinstate $2,500 in funding to Student Leadership Johns Creek.
“I think their program has a force multiplier, and it pays the city back more, tenfold, to the $2,500 that we're spending,” Skinner said. “… To not fund that program will just cause them to find the funding elsewhere, but I’m more concerned about the message it will send to the students.”
Budget suggestions
She also advised the council to send $100,000 to permanent field striping and a goal post for football, a sport without a permanent home in Johns Creek, and to reallocate the $5,000 intended for the mayor’s Martin Luther King Unity Breakfast, which had been held for the first time in January.
Skinner preferred an MLK Day of Service, much like the City of Dunwoody coordinates each year. But, City Councilwoman Erin Elwood advised a day of performing service projects would still require funding, like for refreshments for volunteers. Mayor Bradberry said the breakfast serves as a “floor,” a minimum for observation of the important holiday.
“It’s really our only holiday to really recognize our pursuit of a color-blind society,” Bradberry said. “Let’s talk about how we can add and go beyond that.”
Agreeing with Skinner, City Councilman Larry DiBiase suggested the city use its unassigned fund balance to cover the items she highlighted.
That drew opposition from City Councilman Chris Coughlin.
“... The rationale that you all gave to keep the millage rate the same, raise our property taxes, was the AAA credit rating,” Coughlin said, implying that using the reserves would curtail efforts to maintain the status.
Campbell had previously told the council that “eroding” the city’s tax revenue base could lead to a lower bond rating and that keeping the millage rate steady is favored by bond rating agencies.
At the Sept. 9 meeting, several council members said they didn’t want to approve the funding changes without having additional time to review them, leading to a 6-1 vote in favor of the budget as presented. Skinner cast the dissenting vote.
“…I feel it’s rushed, and that we could have had today’s work session or some more time and had a special called meeting,” she said. “So, for that reason, I just can’t support it.”
Land for Town Center
In other action at the meeting, the City Council approved the purchase of a 5.75acre tract along Lakefield Drive, what will be the Town Center’s “main street.”
Town Center is a 192-acre area anchored by the 21-acre space behind City Hall known as Creekside Park, though the park is currently going through a renaming process. Another anticipated feature of the city’s new downtown is Medley, a mixeduse development headed by Avalon’s Mark Toro.
Johns Creek Finance Director Ronnie Campbell presents the city’s proposed $79.9 million fiscal year 2025 budget at the City Council meeting Sept. 9. It was approved in a 6-1 vote, with City Councilwoman Stacy Skinner dissenting. See CENTER, Page 14
Statewide organizations join fray in Appen vs. Sandy Springs suit
By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Appen Media’s open records lawsuit with Sandy Springs, now in the appeals process, has drawn a new set of players.
Two statewide organizations have submitted amicus briefs in the case, each supporting different sides of the debate over interpretations of the Georgia Open Records Act.
The Georgia First Amendment Foundation has thrown its weight behind Appen Media, arguing that an unfavorable ruling could have statewide implications leaving the public in the dark about crime in their communities.
In an opposing move, the Georgia Municipal Association has filed an amicus brief siding with the City of Sandy Springs. The GMA, which advocates for and provides services for some 536 Georgia cities, argues that local agencies should have authority to interpret ambiguous language, like “initial” in the law requiring release of initial police reports.
Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul has served three terms on the GMA’s Board of Directors and currently serves as its Transportation Chair.
At issue is a December ruling by
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Adams that cleared Sandy Springs of violating the Georgia Open Records Act. Adams ruled that the Sandy Springs Police Department is not in violation of the act when it withholds information about the crime, the victim, whether an arrest was made or if a danger exists to the surrounding community.
Instead, the city – for the most part – provides one-sentence narratives and places all vital information in a supplemental report it withholds from the public.
The news organization argues that the responses it receives from Sandy Spring Police after filing open records requests are not the full incident reports required for release under state law. Adams ruled that Appen Media failed to prove that it is unlawful for the Police Department to withhold supplemental information about a crime that police include in a second report, even if that information is added at the same time by the same officer.
Even so, the judge conceded “[Appen] may be correct in its assertion that [the Sandy Springs Police Department’s] practice violates the spirit of
the Open Records Act.”
Appen Media alleges that Sandy Springs has repeatedly denied access to initial police officer narratives that are routinely filed during investigations on the same day that the crime incident occurs.
An officer’s full account of a crime incident, which should have been provided in response to every request, has been marked as filed on the same day and at the same time as the skeleton report sent to the newspaper, Appen has argued.
The supplemental full reports exist but are hidden from the public, Appen says.
Initial police incident reports, in most cases, include narratives that allow Appen Media to inform readers with details about crimes. Full incident reports with officers’ detailed narratives are provided by police agencies in Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Forsyth County, Johns Creek, Milton and Roswell.
Things are different in Sandy Springs.
In a May 15 email to Appen Media, Sandy Springs City Attorney Dan Lee claimed some supplemental reports are exempt from release.
“The law clearly allows that initial
incident reports are to be disclosed and any supplements to the initial reports,” Lee wrote. “There are no supplements to initial reports that have not been disclosed, [and the ones] you are mentioning in this complaint are the notes and investigative information dealing with open investigations.”
The notes and investigative information, which other police departments provide to Appen Media every week, are also called “initial reports,” and are the crux of the debate.
The pending decision from the threejudge panel of Georgia Court of Appeals could have widespread implications for how records are shared with the public throughout the state.
Guidance from experts
As part of its court case, Appen Media cited guidance from the current “A Law Enforcement Officer’s Guide to Open Records in Georgia,” which states that “initial incident and police arrest reports are subject to the Act’s disclosure requirements, regardless of whether they are part of an active investigation. Additionally, any report, whether entitled a ‘supplemental report,’ ‘narrative

Local charity revives drive for donations of used cars
ROSWELL, Ga. — North Fulton Community Charities is taking steps to remove transportation as a barrier to financial stability for low-income families by relaunching its Car Donation Program.
The program matches families in need with donated vehicles in good working order.
In late June, the nonprofit received its first donation, a Honda Odyssey, from an anonymous donor. It was given to a local couple with three young children.
“We relaunched our Car Donation Program because more and more families coming to NFCC lack transportation which poses a barrier to stability,” said Sandy Holiday, the nonprofit’s executive director. “These families find it difficult, if not impossible, to get to jobs, schools and doctor appointments.”
The organization is teaming up with Christian Brothers Automotive, which will provide diagnostic testing and repairs for donated vehicles. The business also recommends car donations to their customs as an alternative to costprohibitive repairs.
“We are here to serve our community,” said Tom Burgess, Christian Brothers owner and president. “Giving back in a way that has such a profound impact on local families is exciting — we can’t wait to get started.”
North Fulton Community Charities manages the title transfer process, minimizing paperwork for donors and recipients. In addition, IRS rules allow vehicle donations that directly benefit families in need to be deducted at fair market value.
The nonprofit is now seeking cars in reasonable working order for the program, which had been active for more than 30 years before its pause during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you or someone you know is interested in donating, please contact North Fulton Community Charities at info@nfcchelp.org.
Community bonds over canines at Johns Creek Pup-A-Palooza
By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Dozens of visitors came out for Johns Creek’s “PupA-Palooza” Sept. 14 to peruse vendors and get a peek at dogs dressed to the nines and others with a knack for performing tricks.
Some visitors participated in contests at the Mark Amphitheater at Newtown Park, like Roswell resident Jewel Ausberry, whose pumpkin costume matched her shih tzu named Cherub, or Che Che for short. With separate green sleeves, Che Che was swallowed up in pumpkin, and a small man, dressed in a black suit, hung off.
They won first place in the event’s “Best Dressed” contest.
One of the three contest judges, Ethan Phillips, said her level of commitment to match her dog was the deciding factor.
“It’s not hard to tell who’s really trying to get the best costume for their dog, like the most extravagant,” Phillips said, adding that two-piece costumes are particularly impressive. “If you get a dog to stay in a two-piece costume, that’s some major points right there.”
Ausberry shared her excitement after having lost last year. Che Che’s tuxedo couldn’t beat the tough competition.
“At the last minute, I was like, you need a little something extra to put us over the top,” she said of this year’s success. “I need to coordinate with you.”
Not only is Che Che chic, but he’s preparing to take on a service role for Ausberry, who has retinitis pigmentosa. The condition limits the amount she can see in her periphery.
“He’ll be training for at least the next year, because Che Che is obstinate,” Ausberry said.
She said Georgia is a dog-loving community, pointing out the dog park not far from where she stood, and mentioning the uptick in adoptions at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Now, you’ve got this whole big community that extends beyond family to the dog who is now a part of the family,” Ausberry said. “I think it’s
important to have events like this, to bring the community [together] because we’re such a divided nation right now.”
Sandra Cabrera, owner of the Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming in Johns Creek, also spoke about dogs becoming more a part of the family. It was her motivation for joining the franchise with her sister Jenny Varon, who owns the location in Milton.
“Nowadays, dogs are very special for everybody,” Cabrera said.
She called attention to many retail stores now allowing dogs of all kinds, not just service dogs.
“They have changed with the times,” Cabrera said. “So, we saw it as a good opportunity for being able to open this franchise and being able to groom dogs.”
The store also offers baked goods, made at the business’ headquarters in Florida, and other supplies like toys. For more information on Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, visit https:// woofgangbakery.com.

Dunwoody entrepreneur rides landscaping green wave
By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
DUNWOODY, Ga. — Battery technology is creating opportunities for landscapers to opt for more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
Elon Musk’s effort to build a world powered by solar energy, rechargeable batteries and electric vehicles has led to downstream effects in other industries, such as landscaping.
Dunwoody’s own environmentally conscious entrepreneur, Lloyd Fisher, has capitalized on evolving battery technology.
Fisher’s Oak Avenue Landscaping received the 2023 Sustainability Hero Award for local businesses in April. City officials lauded Fisher for making the city more ecofriendly.
Oak Avenue Landscaping is an all-electric commercial landscaping company with two field employees alongside Fisher and one administrator. It uses state-of-the-art equipment to service the 15-mile radius around Dunwoody and the Perimeter.
Fisher said there’s a lot his team does at residences across north Metro Atlanta, including landscape design, installation, drainage, decks, grading and tree service.
There are some misconceptions about the differences between electric and gas-powered landscaping equipment. Namely, technology has advanced to the point where compact batteries can generate the same level of performance. Not all electric tools match their gas rivals’ torque, but some are out there.
Gas mowers and blowers typically cost less and outperform older and cheaper electric equipment.
to.”
Typical landscaping crews, like city contractors at Brook Run Park, work in large teams with gas-powered equipment.
On the other hand, Fisher said he saves money and charges his equipment for free using his solar-powered trailer.
Consumer Reports says the benefits of going electric include, environmental and noise concerns, the long-term cost of gasoline, maintenance and storage.
Fisher, along with his journey to the United States, shows that everyone can make a difference in their community, no matter how far from home.
“I used to work in marketing for a couple of companies,” Fisher said. “Maybe it’s just the nature of the industry since COVID, but I’ve been affected by layoffs
multiple times over the last four years.”
The COVID-19 pandemic, shutdown of American society and subsequent economic environment could have discouraged Fisher from pursuing his goals, but it got him to the point where he wanted to do something for himself.
“I was helping another landscaper with her marketing and ended up doing more of an operations role with her,” he said. “I felt like, if I’m going to be doing this and I’ve already seen what it’s like, I’d rather do it the way I wanted
“Guys are wearing equipment to look after themselves, like ear and face protection,” Fisher said. “Because obviously they don’t want to get poisoned, but everyone in the community and the environment is suffering.”
Fisher immigrated to New York City from South Africa after meeting his wife, Allison. They have a 2-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter.
How he and his wife met on a cruise ship is another story. Fisher said his wife is the backbone of his business, and he couldn’t do it without her.

With his children yet to start elementary school, Fisher said there needs to be a change to preserve the natural environment for future generations.
Fisher has a unique perspective on landscaping.
“My whole family growing up … everyone had a green thumb,” he said.
Hailing from South Africa, Fisher said Georgia has a uniquely beautiful natural environment.
Specifically, he cited the trees that visitors notice when they’re flying into Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Fisher said the whole concept of landscaping has always felt off to him: Many times, when property owners are trying to make their slice of the Earth more beautiful, they’re damaging the natural environment and public health in the process.
“It’s so ironic to me,” Fisher said. “If you’re using a two-stroke gas blower, it releases the same amount of emissions into the atmosphere that a regular car does when you’re driving from Atlanta to the border of Mexico.”
In other words, operating a single gas-powered blower generates pollutants and carcinogens equivalent to driving a standard vehicle around 1,100 miles.
The statistic is shocking to some, but it’s commonly cited in the world of environmentalism, including on the Ansley Park Civic Association’s webpage about the negative impacts of gas blowers.
Oak Avenue Landscaping and Fisher go a step beyond using electric equipment, they also work with clients to select native species of plants.
He said a lot of his Dunwoody neighbors plant shrubs, flowers and trees in their yards that are non-native and don’t last.
“People are planting a lot of annuals every season and just throwing away healthy plants,” Fisher said. “You could put in some perennials, native to this region, that really support pollinators and make it a thriving ecosystem.”
Fisher said clients usually reach out for a free consultation after getting a referral from past customers or seeing positive testimonials online.
There is information online about the benefits of electric landscaping equipment and how native plants interact with their environment.
Fisher said he and his team at Oak Avenue Landscaping are just a call away to give advice.
If homeowners have a yard project in mind, Oak Avenue Landscape invites them to schedule a free consultation to discuss their needs and determine the best solution.

The Complexity of Inheritance
Brought to you by - Estates Law Center USA
Inheritance is not just about money or possessions; it’s intertwined with emotions, relationships, and personal values. Traditionally, people often assume that their assets will be passed on to family members, ensuring financial security and stability for future generations. However, circumstances may arise where this is not the desired outcome.
Reasons for Not Wanting Someone to Inherit Your Assets
• Estrangement or Conflict: Family dynamics can be complicated. Estrangement or irreparable conflicts may lead someone to reconsider leaving assets to certain family members.
• Financial Responsibility: Concerns about how an inheritance might affect a person’s financial responsibility or stability can also influence decisions.
• Different Values: If there are significant differences in values or lifestyles between you and a potential heir, you may feel that they wouldn’t use the assets in a way that aligns with your intentions.
• Desire for Charitable Giving: Many people prefer to leave their assets to charitable organizations or causes they care deeply about, seeing this as a way to create a lasting impact beyond their own lifetime. If you’ve decided against leaving assets to someone, there are alternative options to consider:
• Specific Bequests: You can specify in your will exactly who will receive which assets, ensuring your wishes are clear and legally binding.
• Trusts: Establishing a trust allows you to control how and when assets are distributed, providing flexibility and protection.
• Charitable Giving: Donating assets to charity not only benefits a cause you believe in but can also provide tax advantages.
Deciding who inherits your assets is a deeply personal choice. While societal norms may dictate familial inheritance, your assets ultimately represent your life’s work and values. It’s essential to consult with legal and financial advisors to ensure that your wishes are documented properly and in accordance with the law.

OPINION
Hope for the Braves, but none for the Irish
All I need is someone named Lucy to goad me into attempting to kick a football. Give me a goofy sweater, let me moan “Good Grief”: a few times and I’ll be as close to Charlie Brown as I can possibly be.
I’ve been a Notre Dame football fan for as long as I can remember. John Huarte to Jack Snow for a constant staccato of touchdowns was a thing of magic on a Saturday afternoon. Listening to Lindsay Nelson describe the beauty of South Bend, The Golden Dome and The Grotto left an indelible mark on me and cemented my ordeal as a fan for many subsequent years.
Being at the LA Coliseum on a night in 1974 when Notre Dame was waxing USC 24-0 in the first half, only to lose 55-24 was a message that being an Irish fan would mean a lifetime of needing
PRESERVING THE PAST
Maalox. I should have taken heed way back then.
Like a prudent gambler who cashes in his casino chips before trying to chase that one more big hit only to have his winnings disappear, it looks like Notre Dame has played Lucy to my Charlie Brown.
After being touted as a potential College Football Playoff team thanks to the softest schedule imaginable, the Irish did it to me again. They whiffed, the football was pulled away and I, along with so many other suckers, was left muttering and stuttering.
A 16-14 loss would be respectable if it was to a school with a solid football pedigree. But Northern Illinois? Suffice to say it ruined my Saturday and furthered my appreciation of Southeastern Conference football.
Never have I seen a more ill-prepared lot than this current Irish team. The blame for the confusion falls squarely at the feet of current coach Marcus Freeman. Perhaps Morgan, not Marcus, should be the Freeman at the team’s
helm. At least then there would be some wise words imparted.
I’m not sure how the season will turn out, but right now, my beloved Irish are in fine fettle (that’s sarcasm): A quarterback ND rented from the vaunted football powerhouse Duke; receivers who can’t catch; and an offensive line whose play has been “offensive.”
After a Week 1 win over Texas A&M that is now but a faint memory, I was ready to proudly fly my car flags. Thankfully, oldest son Chris was in town, and he absconded with my car for much of his visit. The flags will remain tucked away. At least I can resist the urge to burn them.
The rest of the season could be like watching a horror movie where I hide my eyes and can’t bear to watch.
Watching the Braves these days is akin to going to a Broadway play only to find the show being presented is made up of primarily understudies. I have found myself asking “Who are these guys?”
But as I write this, there are 17 games left in the regular season and the scrapping team has a shot at making the post season.
It must be an adventure when manager Brian Snitker fills out a lineup card every night. “Anyone who can play tonight, take one step forward.”
Forget about the area around Truist Park being The Battery. With all the injuries that have befallen the Braves, the area would be better labeled “The Infirmary.”
Maybe it’s the belief that anything can happen, something keeps telling me with a cast of no-names, maybe, just maybe, these Braves could get hot and make a memorable October run.
I’m banking on that taking my mind off what will likely happen in South Bend.

Georgia faithful flock to Holbrook camp meetings
Since the early 1800s camp meeting grounds have played an important role in rural Georgia. These campgrounds host outdoor religious revival meetings that are held in structures called “arbors” for a few days every year. While not unique to Georgia, they continue to play a significant role in the state. Today, at least 30 campgrounds remain active in Georgia including Holbrook Campground in the Alpharetta postal area of Cherokee County. Many campgrounds predate the Civil War. Here is the history.
Camp meetings and the historic sites they created began with the Second Great Awakening, a religious movement from about 1790 to 1835 initially in frontier towns throughout the United States. As Protestant settlers moved westward, they often stopped in small towns that had no churches and held revival meetings in tents. The revivals nurtured the development of Methodist, Baptist and to a lesser extent Presbyterian churches particularly in what became known as the Bible Belt.
According to the New Georgia Encyclopedia the first camp meeting in
Georgia occurred in 1803 when 3,000 people attended a revival meeting on Shoulderbone Creek in Hancock County. The movement grew rapidly, particularly among Methodists.
A typical campground features a large, often rectangular, open-air building called an “arbor,” surrounded by cabins known as “tents” which are owned by individual families and which are often passed down through generations.
Historically, visiting preachers sermonized for several days and nights. Typically, all religions and races were welcome and repentant sinners were called upon to come to the alter to accept Christ. Meetings were a time of spiritual rebirth but also places where families and friends could gather for a brief respite from the rigors of farming.
Holbrook Campground
The first annual Holbrook Campground meeting was held in 1838, probably when a group of people from various local churches gathered to worship under the trees. In 1839, Jesse C. Holbrook, a local blacksmith, received 40 acres for shoeing a man’s horse. He donated the land to the Methodist Conference to be used as a campground.
The current arbor was built in 1890. The structure is surrounded by a full circle of 53 cabins, or tents as they are
called, plus an additional 19 cabins outside the full circle. Cabins range from simple structures with sawdust floors and one bedroom to wood floors and several bedrooms with air-conditioning. They have front porches looking out at the arbor. Some are owned by ancestors of original owners.
Each year, the campground holds a non-denominational revival where everyone is invited to participate in 10 days of “prayer, preaching, hymn singing, and fellowship.” Several hundred people participate during the week and weekends.
There is a youth building available for teenagers to attend the camp meeting for a week. The building has recently been renovated.
Directly across the street from the campground on Holbrook Campground Road is the Macedonia Church founded circa 1870 in response to the campground activity. Although independent of the campground, the church is closely associated with it. The church pastor David Laycock serves as Host Pastor for the campground. He explains that each year two pastors, one Methodist and one Baptist, are selected to preach at the revival. They rotate every day with each preaching at nine worship services.
Pastor Laycock says that during the recent renovation of the church it was
discovered that the entire floor sat on rocks. The church just reopened Sept. 1.
I spoke with one of the owners of a tent built in the late 1800s. Three years ago, she put a floor in the tent which until then had a sawdust floor. The tent has been handed down through successive generations of the Grady Wilson family. “Once you experience a week of meetings you realize that the campground is a holy place,” says the owner. “You can visit any time of year and feel the spirit of God.”
On the first camp weekend every July as many as 15-20 people fill the tent ‘’like a family reunion of people you know from the campground.”
The Holbrook Campground Cemetery is on the grounds of the campground. According to Find a Grave there are 672 memorials in the cemetery.
Alpharetta’s city limits do not extend past the Fulton County line, however, the campground has an Alpharetta mailing address, even though it is outside the city limits and outside Fulton County.
Bob is director emeritus of the Milton Historical Society and a Member of the City of Alpharetta Historic Preservation Commission. You can email him at bobmey@bellsouth.net. Bob welcomes suggestions for future columns about local history.

Greenway:
Continued from Page 1
The Big Creek Greenway stretches some 8 miles from Roswell north through Alpharetta in Fulton County. Things get tricky after that. Forsyth County plans to link its portion of the Greenway with the Alpharetta terminus but must wait until work is completed on a widening project on McGinnis Ferry Road, which separates the two jurisdictions.
Forsyth County has a large patchwork of Big Creek Greenway constituting approximately 9 miles, roughly from the southern part of the county to Sawnee Mountain.
The linear park is among the most popular recreation spots in every jurisdiction it traverses.
Forsyth County’s Phase 4 boardwalk was built in 2016 with an all-wood design using pressure treated wood for the sub-structure and surface boards.
Since 2023, the county has worked to resurface joists and beams located in “problem areas,” according to the county. Parts of Phase 4 have deteriorated faster than other areas.
Water has damaged the sub-structure and spread to surface boards. People who use the trail and maintenance equipment have caused additional damage. Since August,

report,’ or similar document name that is produced as part of an initial incident report or can be characterized as such, is likewise to be disclosed.”
The guidance booklet was prepared and endorsed by the Georgia Attorney General in conjunction with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Georgia Sheriff’s Association, Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police, Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia and Georgia Press Association.
Appen’s suit centered on whether the second document, compiled by and kept out of public view by Sandy Springs Police, is typically prepared by the officers using information obtained at the scene and is considered part of the initial incident report.
In December 2022, Georgia Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Colangelo said it is.
Replying to a request from the media company, Colangelo stated: “A commonsense interpretation of ‘initial incident report’ is that anything written at the same time as the first part of the report is part of the initial incident report.”

county officials have discovered several holes.
On Aug. 30, county officials decided to close the affected section after determining it was no longer safe and could expose the county to liability if someone is injured.

Among the hundreds of examples of skeleton reports, one in particular caught the attention of Appen Media.
On Dec. 11, 2022, a Sandy Springs police officer provided the following narrative about a crime incident: “I responded to a person shot at 1208 Cimarron Pkwy.”
This is the only account Sandy Springs Police provided about an incident that took place at an apartment complex.
The document is coded “Person Dead” and includes the name of the victim and two suspects. It also includes the names of two others but doesn’t specify whether they were witnesses, victims or suspects.
The report does not identify the officers who responded to the call and provides no details on whether the incident was a homicide or an accident. It makes no mention of any arrests.
State organizations chime in
In its filing, the Georgia Municipal Association acknowledges “a rare situation” in which if finds itself at odds with the Georgia First Amendment Foundation on interpretations of the Georgia Open Meetings or Georgia Open Records acts.
The GMA filing goes on to say that the disagreement is over “the inclusion of the word ‘initial’ in the statutory text” and the choice of the Georgia Legislature to use the

Bradberry said the performance hall, a space that would house the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra and the Art Center, is still on track, though no announcement has been made on real estate for the project. In May, the council agreed to hire a consultant to draft a design concept.
Also at the regular meeting, the council approved a contract with the Fulton
her recharge.
Reilly said she understands renovations may be needed but is worried about how it will affect her neighborhood. Other subdivisions that have access to unclosed portions of the trail would be more competitive with prospective home buyers, she said.
“There’s two things that really attract people to Cumming,” she said. “One is the school system… , and the other is the Greenway. When people see closure signs and caution tape, it makes you wonder what is going on in Forsyth.”
Cumming resident Lynette Mullen said the closure could lower the values of nearby properties.
“Our home values are going to be jeopardized,” she said.
Reilly urged commissioners to prioritize the renovations and complete them as soon as possible. Reilly, who is 66 years old, said she was worried the work may not be completed until she is in her 70s.
“We cannot afford for the Greenway to take a backseat,” Reilly said, adding, “That’s not right.”
Cumming resident Bob Morrison agreed, saying the county should find a way to open the trail as soon as possible.
“It’s not appropriate,” he said. “We need to somehow focus on how we can keep that up and somehow put some money into something that everybody uses.”
term in creating this exception in the world of open records.
The brief states that “GMA completely agrees with the GFAF that the ‘Georgia General Assembly has mandated that initial police incident reports are subject to disclosure under the Georgia Open Records Act.’”
The municipal association states that Appen Media has cited outdated statutory language, but the law remains the same. The argument from the GMA questions whether the court should interpret the law and advocates for a local agency’s interpretation of the word “initial” over the judiciary’s ruling.
The GMA cites two recent cases where the Georgia Court of Appeals deferred to an agency’s interpretation of legal text when the language is ambiguous.
On the other hand, the Georgia First Amendment Foundation argues that the General Assembly “recognized the public’s interest in the disclosure of initial incident reports when it mandated that they be disclosed.”
The foundation, which submitted its amicus brief Aug. 29, says its interest in the case is “because the trial court’s ruling will have serious and negative implications for the public’s ability to access open records in the state of Georgia.”
County School Board that would add athletic field space to the city’s repertoire. The field at Abbotts Hill Elementary School will be open to the public from 6 p.m. to dusk on school days and 8 a.m. to dusk on weekends.
Councilwoman Skinner, who cast the lone dissenting vote, took issue with the cost of annual maintenance for a field without striping. The city is expected to pay
It argues that this kind of “informational shell game is contrary both to the purpose of the Open Records Act and to the weight of authority around the country holding that the nature of the requested information — not the title of the report in which that information appears — is what determines whether or not it is public.”
The foundation further argues that law enforcement agencies could disregard this requirement by putting all meaningful initial incident information in another report.
Instead, its filing states that police already have remedies to protect the city’s interests in safeguarding information about its officers and “active investigations,” like redacting a victim’s identity.
The municipal association argues that the word “initial” is ambiguous, and that it is up to local authorities to determine its meaning.
The First Amendment Foundation argues that the Legislature has been explicit in its definition of “initial” police reports, and that its scope includes crime details that law enforcement agencies throughout Metro Atlanta release to the public. Sandy Springs is the exception, the foundation says.
The Georgia Constitution requires the Court of Appeals to issue a ruling by March 14, 2025.

Skinner addressed existing needs within the city’s parks, but Recreation and Parks Director Erica Madsen said the contract was a recommendation found within the Recreation and Parks Master Plan.
“It was specifically indicated that we as a city should pursue partnerships with the schools because it opens up a park without us having to build one,” Madsen said.
