Robber demands big bills in Fifth Third Bank heist JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Police were dispatched to a report of an armed robbery at a Fifth Third Bank inside the Kroger shopping center at 10945 State Bridge Road on Dec. 22.

According to the incident report, workers at the bank said a man in a hoodie demanded money, repeatedly saying “Big bills!” One of the bankers told officers the suspect seemed very agitated and banged on the counter several times. Another customer ser-

vice rep told officers the man demanded workers to “put all the large money” in a plastic Kroger bag and yelled “Gimme the large bills!” She said he had a handgun on the counter pointed at the teller.

The teller, according to the report, said the gunman walked up to her counter, handed her a note notifying her that it was a stick-up then pulled out his gun. She said she gave him all the cash in her till, which was no more than $300.

The suspect made a clean escape.

Gwinnett man charged for breaking into vehicles JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Police arrested a Lawrenceville man for breaking into vehicles.

Clovis Allen Lejune, 50, of Clandon Lane, was arrested Dec. 23 and charged

with entering auto.

Investigators say they have tied him to a string of auto break-ins along Niblick Court.

According to arrest reports, investigators responded to the 8900 block on Sept. 9. An 83-year-old resident said someone broke into his 2006 BMW 325 I. He said his Ring security system captured a white van ride down the street and a man got out and rummaged through his vehicle. Nothing was missing from the car. The security cam showed the suspect look into other vehicles before leaving.

While investigating that vehicle break-in, officers learned about another in the 3300 block of Niblick Court. Investigators spoke to that victim, a 68-year-old man, on Oct. 6.

The man told officers someone broke into his unlocked Ford F-150 overnight Sept. 9 as well and stole a pair of sunglasses.

FBI warns of coronavirus vaccine scams

By TIFFANY GRIFFITH newsroom@appenmediagroup.com NORTH ATLANTA METRO, Ga. — While scientific minds have been hard at work on a coronavirus remedy, more nefarious minds have been looking for ways to profit off of it. Now, multiple federal agencies are putting out the warning about vaccine scams.

The method of the scam isn’t new – getting contact details off of the internet and enticing victims via emails, social media, and cell phones. However, FBI agents warn, what is new is that bad entities are taking advantage of the national need for the COVID-19 vaccine.

Kevin Rowson, Public Affairs specialist for the FBI Atlanta Field Office, said scammers are always on the lookout for the CDAR Member SWIFT Code: GMCBUS3A

latest world event to take advantage of.

“They know people are vulnerable, and in this particular case with the COVID vaccines, they’re going to meet people who want to know when they can get it as soon as possible” Rowson said.

“And that’s what they’re trying to take advantage of.”

Their tactics are deceiving. In midDecember, federal agents busted two fraudulent websites, using similar names, logos and graphics of actual companies, and attempting to steal personal information from consumers.

“If anybody calls you and offers you testing or offers you to get in line for testing, and they want you to pay money – anybody that calls you about this, just ignore it,” Rowson said. “They can send you emails that look legitimately from one of your bill payees. But, if you talk to whoever you pay bills to, to law enforcement, or your banks, they will never call you or email you for that kind of information.”

Rowson said the end game is to make money off of your personal information, so be wary.

“They’re selling it or using it themselves. There’s a market out there for it,” Rowson said. “There’s a number of things people can do with your personal information, particularly your Social Security number.”

Local legislators serve up priorities for 2021 session

By JEFFREY ALBERTSON newsroom@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The Gold Dome will be flush with issues when the 156th Georgia General Assembly gavels in for a 40-day session on Jan. 11.

Among the key matters legislators will address this session are whether to restore $2.2 billion in cuts to the fiscal year 2021 budget.

The $25.9 billion budget signed by Gov. Brian Kemp in August represented the steepest cuts the state has imposed since the height of the Great Recession.

About $1 billion in funding was cut from schools and the Georgia Department of Education.

Later this year, the Legislature will take up redistricting — redrawing state and federal legislative districts — after the 2020 Census data is available. By controlling both chambers in the assembly, Republicans will have the upper hand in how districts are redrawn. Democrats had hoped to cut into the Republican majority in the House in November but fell short in statewide races.

Republicans hold a 12-seat lead in the Senate and a 26-seat lead in the House.

Sen. John Albers (R-Roswell) is focusing on a $2,000 pay increase for teachers, a senior citizen school tax exemption and keeping Georgia’s economy strong against the pandemic.

He says he is focusing on final passage of the Max Gruyer Act, meant to end fraternity hazing.

“Unfortunately, some hazing rituals at colleges and universities across the country have caused injuries or even deaths,” Albers said. “One such victim was Max Gruver, a Roswell native who passed away following a ritual who this

The $25.9 billion budget signed by Gov. Brian Kemp in August represented the steepest cuts the state has imposed since the height of the Great Recession. bill is named after to honor his legacy.”

Sen. Kay Kirkpatrick (R-Marietta), whose District 32 encompasses part of Sandy Springs, said her attention is directed to controlling COVID-19, the economic fallout on small businesses and families and healthcare.

“I am working on two insurance reform bills and two healthcare bills left over from last year,” Kirkpatrick said.

“One is a patient safety bill, and one is about patient brokering in the mental health and substance abuse industry.”

Rep. Mary Robichaux (D-Roswell) said healthcare access, education, economic recovery and stability are her top issues. Food and housing security will be of additional focus.

Plans are in the works to file legislation related to healthcare and the microbrewery industry.

“One specific bill proposes to extend the payment structure for telemedicine services that have been proven a very effective and efficient delivery model through this pandemic, and I want to make sure that appropriate reimbursement continues and look for additional ways this innovative system can be utilized,” Robichaux said.

A second proposal would require a

comprehensive review before healthcare changes can be made, to weigh longterm effects.

Democratic Rep.-elect Shea Roberts of Sandy Springs, who defeated incumbent Deborah Silcox (R-Sandy Springs) in the Nov. 3 general election, said she will focus on economic recovery, healthcare access and public education funding. “(Since) state revenues reportedly are up, I hope (the) majority leadership will work with us to restore those budgets and prioritize our children’s education and our citizens’ health,” Roberts said.

She said she is concerned that the spread of misinformation and conspiracies will have a lasting impact on future state elections.

Rep. Angelika Kausche (D-Johns Creek) said she is worried about small business recovery in her district, unemployment, children returning safely back to school and healthcare access for 600,000 uninsured Georgians. The most pressing issue for the assembly is addressing budget concerns.

“The hot topic should be revenue and the budget,” Kausche said. “We cannot cut ourselves out of this crisis. We need to have a plan for sustainable state revenue in the future.”

Kausche said to prevent future budget cuts, legislators could increase taxes on tobacco and vaping products. She fears political hype over election fraud allegations will sidetrack the budget formulation.

Kausche, who is a German immigrant, said changes to voting law without reason is troubling.

“It really concerns me because I come from a country that has a terrible history of disenfranchising groups of people for all the wrong reasons,” she said.

Rep. Josh McLaurin (D-Sandy Springs) is directing attention on affordable housing, increasing job opportunities and restoring funding to the budget. The prison system is of particular concern.

“The prisons were some of the hardest hit facilities in this past round of budgeting, for a lot of people it’s out of sight out of mind,” McLaurin said. “Right now, Georgia’s prisons appear to be so understaffed that every day there are basic security concerns.”

Homicides, suicides and COVID-19 infections are on the rise in state prisons.

McLaurin is working on a bill addressing suburban deer bowhunting. His proposal would allow local governments more control over the practice within city limits.

First in line for COVID-19 vaccine, physicians urge continued vigilance The year ahead

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — While COVID vaccine distribution continues to roll out across the state, healthcare experts are cautioning this is no time to let up.

The warning comes as Gov. Brian Kemp outlined the second phase of vaccine rollout to long-term care facilities.

Speaking at a press conference Dec. 28 in Gainesville, Kemp said sections of the state continue to see a spike in COVID cases, and he urged all Georgians to remain vigilant.

“COVID-19 is still here, and it still presents a threat to the people of our great state,” Kemp said. The state is working to set up temporary facilities at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta to help relieve patient surges at hospitals, he said.

Meanwhile, local healthcare workers have been lining up to receive their vaccinations to continue their frontline service.

Dr. Lori Randall, a physician with Ravry Medical Group in Sandy Springs, said she received the Moderna vaccine Dec. 29, and she expects to receive the second dose in about four weeks.

Randall is part of the Northside Hospital System and was notified through email of her eligibility.

The Roswell resident is a general practitioner at Ravry and treats an array of ailments. Right now, she said, the practice is handling clients with COVID or who have exposure to the virus through telemed. The vast majority of all other patients are seen in person,

with staff and visitors donning masks.

“I do think the universal masking in healthcare that kicked in maybe a couple of weeks into the pandemic, that definitely helped a ton,” Randall said. “The non-urgent healthcare places that were staying open early on where masking was not universal were having some issues with patients and healthcare workers getting infected, but that has gotten a lot better.”

Randall said Ravry has had no issues with patients or staff contracting the virus, although they do offer telemed to patients who want to exercise added caution.

Receiving the vaccine has not moved her to let her guard down.

She said there are countless reasons to continue safety protocols even after vaccination.

While both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are effective, 95 percent is not perfect, she said.

“If healthcare workers are unmasked, then up to 5 percent of us could end up getting symptomatic COVID infection,” she said.

A bigger issue, Randall said, is that there is no data on whether those vaccinated can transmit the virus. Best estimates now are that when 70 percent of the population is vaccinated, the risk of transmission will fall dramatically, she said.

Her family will have to wait for their turn.

“For now, I have boys that are 3 and 5, I have a husband that works from home…and for us, in terms of getting back to normal, doing the things we

A LOOK AHEAD

miss, it’s going to be a while.”

Dr. Asma Agad, a certified nurse anesthetist with Emory St. Joseph’s Hospital in Sandy Springs, was part of a team of specialists who prepared the Pfiser vaccine for distribution to healthcare workers. The Alpharetta resident received her vaccine last week.

Agad said Emory had set up an efficient system composed of certified professionals for unpacking, preparing and administering the vaccine.

The product, which must be kept at or below -76 F, first must be thawed, then diluted before being administered. The whole process, following thawing, can take no more than six hours, Agad said.

She estimates Emory Hospital System was performing more than 2,000 vaccinations a day, running from early morning into the evening.

“My fear is people are assuming that with the vaccine, you don’t have to wear a mask, you still don’t have to do the precautions,” Agad said. “But the vaccine is only 95 percent effective, and you can still get COVID with the vaccine. I think the public should be educated about that.”

By the time the vaccine rolls out for general distribution, she said, she hopes everyone will be on board with continuing the safety protocols.

“I’ve had people ask me why do you still wear a mask?” she said. “Well, I’ve only gotten the one dose, and I could still get COVID, and I could still pass it easily to you. I don’t want people to get the vaccine and feel like [they] don’t need to wash hands or wear a mask.”

METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — Residents of senior living facilities are stepping up for the first round of COVID-19 vaccine.

The Village Park Senior Living and Corso Atlanta communities were among the first in Georgia to receive the vaccines.

More than 95 percent of the residents in Galerie Living communities in Alpharetta, Milton and Peachtree Corners opted to receive the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

Village Park Peachtree Corners was the first, with distribution on Dec. 23. Marketing Director Emily Hamrin said residents felt relieved and hopeful.

“I feel so much excitement and a

Greetings Readers, This has been a tumultuous year, and many of us are happy to see 2020 moving into the rear-view mirror. But while it has been a year of many unforeseen MIKE BODKER challenges, it has Johns Creek Mayor been a year full of triumphs and accomplishments, a year of people coming together and supporting each other. A year which has remined us all of the values of love, life and family.

As we look ahead at 2021, one of the most critical of city plans, which I see as a future catalyst for our area, is the development of our Town Center Master Plan. We also assembled a talented group of knowledgeable community participants to sit on the Town Center Master Plan Advisory Committee which will help provide a structure and a vision for an active city center in Technology Park. There will be numerous opportunities in 2021 to engage with all residents to collect your input and ideas on what you want our future city center to be.

The city has worked to address leadership changes as well and looks forward to completing the search for our next police chief. The city continues to work with International Association of Chiefs of Police to manage the search process and help identify highly qualified candidates for the police chief position.

We are confident in the search process and will continue to include and involve the public in the process of helping maintain equity, inclusion and respect within the foundation of our city’s public safety programs and leadership.

While we may not have been able to gather together in 2020, this year enabled many of us to take advantage of the great outdoors, walking park trails and enjoying nature and the many amenities our city has in place. Visitors to Newtown Park witnessed the completion and grand opening of the Wall that Heals, a 250-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. We had grand opening of the city’s first new park, Morton Road Park, and we are planning contin-

Coffee shop looks to add location in tough year for small businesses

By PHOEBE LIU newsroom@Appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A soft hum of activity from lively music, warm lighting and whirring coffee machines sets the scene.

On the wall is a menu that includes items named “GA 400 Blend,” “Snowpocalypse” and “Downtown Connector.”

It’s clear you’re in a coffee shop for the community.

Although many small businesses have closed or otherwise cut operations in 2020 due to the pandemic, Peach Coffee Roasters, a cafe and roastery in Johns Creek, has continued to engage with residents and organizations through its quality coffee.

Peach Coffee Roasters, located at 10875 Jones Bridge Road, is the only Georgia coffee shop to have one of its coffees selected as a finalist for the 2021 Good Food Awards, which takes place later this month. The small business has also continued to partner with organizations — including the Atlanta Humane Society, the Howard School and the Drake House — that share their community-giving mindset. A second location, in Alpharetta’s Henderson Commons Shopping Center, is underway pending rezoning to allow for a drive-through.

“We want to meet people where they are,” co-founder David Pittman said. “We invest in the community, and when the pandemic hit, the community invested in us. There’s going to be good times and bad times for all of us. When COVID hit, there was a call to help small businesses, and the community has been nothing short of amazing.”

The shop’s Good Food Awards finalist is its Costa Rica Cordillera de Fuego coffee, which it purchases from Costa Rican coffee farmer Luis Eduardo Campos.

PHOEBE LIU/HERALD

Peach Coffee Roasters is a Johns Creek-based cafe and roastery that opened in 2018.

According to Pittman, who previously served in the military and worked for several other Atlanta coffee shops, Peach Coffee Roasters’ goal when choosing and roasting coffee beans is to pick the green, or unroasted, coffee that highlights specific countries or regions. The shop purchases beans from countries including Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and Ethiopia.

“We want to create coffee that we believe represents the origin of where it came from and something that the consumer can resonate with,” Pittman said.

When Peach Coffee Roasters’ team, which includes Pittman, co-founder Landon Bonner and a team of coffeegrading staff, was trying out coffee from Costa Rica, they’d gotten through 30–40 samples when they hit one — Campos’ Costa Rican coffee — that they just knew was a special coffee, Pittman said.

Pittman and Bonner are Q Graders, those certified to be able to grade and score coffee through smell and taste.

There are only 400 Q Graders in the United States.

The Costa Rica Cordillera de Fuego

coffee stood out because it had a fruitiness, silkiness, sweetness and complexity that “creates a sensory experience where everything just came together,” Pittman said.

Once the team selects coffee beans, team members develop a complex, formulaic method of roasting the beans based on each coffee’s unique attributes.

Pittman said the roasting process, which takes around 10 minutes, is analogous in some ways to caramelizing sugar.

Although several coffees created by Peach Coffee Roasters have won local and national awards, Pittman said the business “doesn’t get their validation from the coffee” but from “how we treat people and how we treat customers.”

Peach Coffee Roasters hires and serves on seven core values that spell out the acronym “PEACHES.” In addition to goals around environmental and social responsibility, one of the business’ key values is community involvement.

Even as the pandemic has isolated most, Peach Coffee Roasters has continued to partner with community organizations. Each month, the coffee shop donates to a local cause. For December, 3 percent of sales went to the Atlanta Humane Society. And 1 percent of the shop’s 2020 proceeds will go to the conservation group Chattahoochee Riverkeeper.

Pittman said Peach Coffee Roasters does what it can to help the community, and the community has helped them get through the pandemic.

This month, the Alpharetta Planning Commission will consider the Peach Coffee Roasters drive-through proposal in that city.

The FBI, the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have focused on COVID-related crimes since the start of the pandemic. The schemes are based locally, nationally and internationally.

In April, federal investigators in Atlanta hit Rong Sun with criminal charges for allegedly selling an unregistered pesticide on eBay. The post claimed it would reduce transmission risk by 90-percent.

“The sale of this product not only violates several federal laws; it also gives people a false hope,” Homeland Security investigators said. “During a global crisis, like we are experiencing now, it is incredibly dangerous and reckless to exploit people’s fear for profit.”

The Justice Department has also dealt with a number of coronavirus schemes in Georgia. A statewide task force was formed to combat unemployment insurance benefit fraud.

In addition to multiple cases of fake coronavirus remedies, federal agents have investigated sales of counterfeit personal protective equipment.

If you believe you’re the victim of a scam, Rowson urges you to contact the

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices announces partnership with Trilith A community built for creatives Brought to you by — Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties’ New Homes Division has become the sales and marketing partner for Trilith. This community neighbors Trilith Studios, known for the production of many blockbuster films, including Avengers: Endgame, and combines unique architectures with purpose-driven design to promote a creative lifestyle that goes beyond the ordinary.

“I am excited to have the opportunity to help bring Trilith’s unique vision to life,” said Lori Lane, Senior Vice President of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties’ New Homes Division, Luxury Collection and Corporate Marketing. “Storytelling is a big part of our sales and marketing strategy, and Trilith’s originality aligns perfectly with what we have been doing for years. My team and I look forward to continuing the story of this incredible development and expound on the foundation that has already been set in place.”

Previously known as Pinewood For-

est, Trilith boasts multiple home types designed to fit a wide array of lifestyles and price points. From single-family and micro-homes to industrial lofts and everything in between, Trilith developers have created a community that is steeped in innovation, imagination, and efficiency. The European-inspired town serves as the epicenter for the 935-acre master development and features locally owned restaurants, a k-12 art-driven school, Piedmont Wellness Center, and more thoughtfully designed amenities, resulting in an all-encompassing live/ work environment. Every inch of this development was curated to capture the

essence of Storytelling and endorse an inspirational way of living for its projected 5,000 residents.

“Trilith is thrilled to partner with Lori Lane and her team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices to deliver exceptional real estate services to our unique community,” said Rob Parker, President of the Town at Trilith.

As phase two is slated to undergo construction in early 2021, the development team plans to build a 180-room boutique hotel, a 120-room select-service hotel, a nine-screen luxury cinema, and an 18,000 square foot sound stage that will host many industry and art-

related events in the town’s center. In addition to the expansion of amenities and businesses, Trilith will be constructing 50 canopy homes that will be completely designed and built by the in-house development team.

Since its inception, this awardwinning community has experienced a remarkable amount of success. Trilith is nationally recognized as the leader in innovation as all homes are designed to be geothermal, leave a smaller footprint, and encompass smart-home and solar technology. Recently, Trilith took home 27 OBIE Awards for excellence in homebuilding and design presented by the Greater Atlanta Homebuilders Association, including the prestigious 2020 Community of the Year Award.

“The concept behind Trilith is unlike any other,” said Dan Forsman, President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties. “Over the years, Lori Lane and our New Homes Division have had the privilege of representing some of the most respected builders across the Greater Atlanta area. I am confident that our strategic and creative initiatives, combined with Trilith’s unique value proposition, will lead to continued success for this community.”

Buying a home this winter Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Without nearly the same level of competiRAWLINGS tion as the spring, winter months typically fare better for savvy home buyers. Since lockdowns occurred during the spring of 2020, the regular seasonal market frenzy was delayed several months; thus, a seller’s market is likely to transpire this winter. With low real estate inventory, high prices and intense bidding wars, the following tactics will prove beneficial during your winter house hunt.

1. Secure your financing Oftentimes, buyers may not align their financing until they find a home they’d like to purchase. With an increase in competition, waiting on pre-approval for a mortgage could cause these individuals to miss out on a property they love. Before you begin the home search, ensure you receive pre-approval for a mortgage and analyze your finances to deduce what you can afford. Another benefit of securing finances in advance is that you can secure an extremely low interest rate, allowing you to buy a more expensive home.

2. Know what you’re looking for Before searching for or touring homes, make a list of your must-haves!

Perhaps your needs have changed and you require more space for working from home and general living areas. When you have your essential list, contact one of our phenomenal REALTORS® at Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. As experts in the Metro Atlanta area, they will quickly find exactly what you’re looking for and guide you through the closing process.

3. Tour virtually first 2020 changed how many industries conduct business, including real estate. While agents have varying levels of restrictions regarding showings, open houses, etc., many REALTORS® are embracing technology to provide home tours via Zoom and FaceTime. These options also allow you to ask questions in real-time, so you can narrow down your home search virtually first and then visit your favorite properties in person.

4. Don’t procrastinate making an offer According to a Realtor.com report, there were 40% fewer homes on the market in September 2020 than during the same month in 2019. Low inventory levels plus a sharp increase in buyer demand create a wildly competitive market landscape. If you find a home you want to buy, don’t procrastinate making an offer because another buyer could insert an offer of their own!

5. Make your offer stand out Once you make an offer, you want to ensure it stands out from the rest. Cash offers and inspection waivers are two strategies that can make your offer more appealing. If you’re financially able, cash offers are attractive because they can speed up closings and eliminate dealing with a mortgage lender. Inspection waivers can be risky because they remove repair negotiations; however, they can help you close faster. Having a top-notch agent who possesses invaluable industry knowledge can also be a vital factor in the negotiation process.

With an atypical, frenzied winter real estate season, buyers need to adapt their tactics based on market trends. If you require expert assistance for your home buying search or 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!

Johns Creek moves to acquire and preserve historic cemetery

By KATIE ANDERSON newsroom@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The historic Macedonia Cemetery off Medlock Bridge Road officially has a new owner.

On Nov. 16, the Johns Creek City Council unanimously approved a measure to acquire the historic property which served as the final resting place for members and family of the Macedonian Methodist African Church.

In recent years, the city had been responsible for maintenance, but the ownership of the abandoned property was up in the air.

Under the city’s ownership, this historic property has potential to be a memorial to those buried there and also serve as preserved green space for residents.

“I think acquiring this property and getting it the proper maintenance and infrastructure it deserves is crucial for our city,” City Councilman Chris Coughlin said.

The city will work to acquire the property through eminent domain, a process by which a government can take ownership of property in the public good. The law provides that the govern-

ment may only exercise this power if it provides just compensation to the property owners— in this case approximately $52,200 from the land acquisition accrual fund. The money will be kept in the Fulton County Superior Court and forwarded to the state if no owner can be identified.

The city believes the Macedonian Methodist African church took ownership of this property back in the turn of the 20th century, and over time, con-

structed a church and began to use part of the property as a cemetery. Over the years, the congregation dwindled, and the church and the graveyard fell into disrepair. The church has since been demolished and removed.

The disrepair in the cemetery area has resulted in vandalism and moving of headstones. Currently, as required by state law, the city conducts mere maintenance of the cemetery but, once the land is acquired, they will work to preserve the historic site.

The property, approximately 2 acres, is located near the intersection of State Bridge Road and Medlock Bridge Road.

It is home to some 105 to 114 marked and unmarked graves. The Johns Creek Historical Society has worked to identify over 50 of the people buried at this site.

At least two of those identified were enslaved, and others buried there were first and second generation descendants of slaves on local farms. As names are being identified, genealogy research is beginning. That research is starting to show relationships between those buried on the site and insights into the life they led.

The Johns Creek Historical Society is currently working to repair some of

the headstones found on the property.

Through donations from Kirk Canaday, a board member of the Historical Society, the group has already made repairs and reseated the headstones of R.L. Parsons and April Waters, a former slave.

There are more headstones to be repaired, and the Johns Creek Historical Society is asking for donations to continue the work. For more information visit johnscreekhistory.org.

The nonprofit is also looking for those who might remember or have been a member of the Macedonia Church. If you have information or memories of the Macedonia Cemetery and those buried there or its church, members and pastors, please contact info@johnscreekhistory.org.

The pandemic has slowed down the process of the courts, but city officials believe that everything will be settled with this acquisition in the middle of next year.

“I think our ability to be able to honor the legacy of those who met their fate and are buried in the cemetery will live on beyond this,” Mayor Mike Bodker said. “So I’m certainly glad that we did this.”

In 2020, our Community Development Department completed the citywide stormwater system assessment.

Addressing stormwater issues across the city is critically important, and to that end, staff began the first steps of a detailed review to study a future potential Stormwater Utility Program which we will explore in the coming year.

Public Safety is always of the utmost concern, and as we look toward the new year, keeping our residents and businesses safe and secure remains a top priority.

The new Fire Station 64 will open in early 2021 and will serve the center and northern portions of Johns Creek, reducing response times in that area.

In 2021, the city also anticipates the return of additional Recreation and Parks programing and events which rely on the safe distribution and availability of the COVID-19 vaccines. We are optimistic in the return of our popular events, including Movies in the Park, the Fall Family Festival and hopefully much more.

I know this is not the year we anticipated as we thought about what was in store for 2020. However, 2020 did not defeat us. I believe it instead helped bring us together and make us stronger.

We faced the unimaginable head-on and now we look toward 2021 with optimism for our country, our city, our neighbors and our families.

If there is one great lesson to take away from this past year as we transition into 2021, it is that love, kindness and patience are worth more than gold.

Let’s take the lessons we learned from the past year and use our knowledge to focus on successes, happiness and hope in 2021 and beyond.

Seniors: Continued from Page 4 sense of hope,” Hamrin said. “Even though they’re still going to be cautious, it gives them a sense of peace just that they have some sort of protection.”

Approximately 37 percent of Georgia’s 9,800 COVID-related deaths came at nursing homes. As the first wave of vaccines arrive, case rates have shot above the previous tramission peak in July with now around 5,000 new cases daily.

So far, the state has spent $78 million in coronavirus relief funds to support COVID-19 testing in nursing homes throughout Georgia.

Just last week, Gov. Brian Kemp announced rollout of a new program for longterm care facilities to partner directly with CVS and Walgreens for vaccine delivery.

Already 95 percent of the state’s long-term facilities have enrolled in the program.

Since the statewide shutdown in March, Galerie Living senior communities have adapted visitor protocols for the safety of residents. The company currently allows visits with residents outdoors. If conditions are too cold, the facilities have indoor areas that allow for ample spacing.

Kari Samuelson, chief operating officer, said they are hopeful that after the second vaccination is administered, 21 to 28 days after the first dose, they will be able to change some of the policies for vaccinated residents.

“We do anticipate that it will provide more freedom for residents that have had the vaccine,” Samuelson said. “In general, our hope is to turn to the most normal sense that we can, and we’re just waiting for the CDC and Department of Health to tell us the best and the most safe way to do that.”

Staff at Galerie Living communities have the option to receive the vaccine but are not required to. Samuelson said that as time goes on, they will determine when they will require staff to be vaccinated.

Charles Platz, president of Managed Health Solutions pharmacy services, said they were pleased to be able to administer the vaccine to the senior communities and are already planning to vaccinate other local retirement homes.

Platz said the major difference between the two vaccines is the storage.

The Pfizer vaccine requires ultra-cold storage, while Moderna’s serum does not.

They plan to administer both vaccines as there is no notable difference in success, both around 95 percent effective.

Samuelson and Platz reported that there have been no extreme reactions to the vaccine in the communities. To avoid reactions, recipients are screened five minutes prior to vaccination for a fever or symptoms and are monitored 15 minutes after the injection for any reactions. Platz said the only reactions he had witnessed was a fever among some of his staff who had already been exposed to the virus.

Platz said he could feel the excitement and eagerness among the community for some glimpse at the light at the end of the tunnel.

“I think they realize that vaccines save lives,” Platz said. “They were highfiving each other afterwards. Everybody was just so thankful because they want to get back to the old normal. Nobody wants to live in the new normal.”

Nonprofit serves more than 1,000 families ROSWELL, Ga. – North Fulton Community Charities’ annual holiday programs served more than 1,000 families benefitting over 3,000 children.

The nonprofit began its holiday programs in November by distributing warm coats and Thanksgiving food and ended with a holiday toy shop where parents had the opportunity to select toys for their children. The toy shop included sections for children of every age as well as special areas for sporting goods, games, gift cards and stocking stuffers. In addition, the holiday programs included holiday baskets for seniors in November and December and a sponsored family program.

Hundreds of organizations, businesses and individuals held drives, volunteered and donated to make all these programs possible.

“We are so thankful to our community for coming together to make this year’s holiday programs possible,” said NFCC Executive Director Holly M. York. “It was a monumental undertaking to have these programs safely during COVID, but we knew these programs that are always important to the families we serve, were especially

important this year. We are so happy that we were able to deliver a little holiday spirit to our neighbors.”

The NFCC holiday program was presented by Convergence Acceleration Solutions, Gillman Insurance Problem Solvers, Mount Pisgah and Northside Hospital.

Triton Claim Management, DataScan and Trailsend Foundation also sponsored the program and space was donated by Hubert Realty Company and Malon D. Mimms Company. Bike Alpharetta and Trader Joe’s partnered on the program.
