North metro cities alter fireworks ordinances for July 4th BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com It is no surprise north Atlanta metro cities and counties enforce strict rules on the residential use of fireworks. While they are a celebratory staple for events and holidays, the noise, light and fire risks they produce have prompted governments to place limitations. Every city has its own designated times and noise ordinances for fireworks usage. Residents in Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Johns Creek, Dunwoody, and Cumming might not be aware that the regulations change for major holidays such as the Fourth of July. Here is a breakdown of each city’s ordinances for fireworks usage when celebrating the birth of our nation. Johns Creek In July 2018, Johns Creek adjusted its laws regarding fireworks regulations and times. Unlike most cities, they permit the use of consumer fireworks between 10 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. on any day of the year including July 3 and 4. However, fireworks are prohibited in the city’s public parks without a written permit from the city. The fire department wants
all users to place their used fireworks in a bucket of water before throwing them away to ensure they are extinguished. Forsyth County Most residences with a Cumming address fall under Forsyth County’s laws and ordinances. Fireworks are permitted July 3 and 4 allow for fireworks to be fired off until midnight. They cannot be used on roads or highways, and it is illegal to fire them off within 100 yards of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, nuclear power plants, and gas stations. Alpharetta Alpharetta has long extended the time for fireworks around Independence Day. For July 3 and 4, residential fireworks are permitted until 11:59 p.m. No one under the age of 18 can purchase fireworks, and the minimum age for possession is 16. Milton Milton has the most severe rules governing the use or possession of fireworks due to the number of residential properties with horses and livestock. Fireworks are known to have adverse effects on animals and people. For these reasons, the city does not permit the use of noisy
fireworks at any time in any way outside of a few designated holidays. For July 3 and 4, residents can use louder fireworks between 10 a.m. and midnight. When it comes to Milton City parks, the use or possession of fireworks in any capacity is illegal. Roswell Roswell allows fireworks until 11:59 p.m. on July 3 and 4. Anyone wishing to use them outside of the established hours must have a permit from the city. For safety reasons, fireworks cannot be used within 100 yards of water treatment plants, gas stations, electric substations, hospitals, nursing homes or healthcare facilities. No one under the age of 18 may purchase fireworks. Dunwoody As a general rule, Dunwoody limits the use of fireworks to 9 p.m. For July 3 and 4, residential usage is permitted between 10 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. the extended hours also apply to other major holidays, like Labor Day and New Years.

Atlanta Athletic Club hosts LPGA Championship By SYDNEY DANGREMOND sydney@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The best golfers in the world flocked to Johns Creek June 24-27 for the Women’s PGA Championship hosted at the Atlanta Athletic Club. It’s a big deal for the city. The Georgia Department of Economic Development estimates the total economic impact of hosting the KPMG LPGA Tournament Championship is $1.8 million. The event supported approximately 267 jobs throughout and generated $51,000 in local sales tax. “We are so excited to have the LPGA Championship event in our great city and hosted at the prestigious, nationally renowned Atlanta Athletic Club,” said Lynda Lee Smith, chairwoman of the Johns Creek Convention and Visitors Bureau. “The JCCVB welcomes events that have a positive impact on our hospitality industry, especially after such a crippling year with the pandemic.” Johns Creek Public Works augmented traffic pat-
terns on Medlock Bridge Road to allow for an allow for an increase in pedestrians at the venue. Director of Public Works Chris Haggard said the impact has been minimal thanks to the city’s traffic control center. “We have a camera at each signal where we can watch the traffic and watch the pedestrians,” Haggard said. “So, during peak times, when people are walking to their cars from across the road, we have someone sitting in our traffic control center kind of monitoring from the sky.” Tournament officials have been coordinating with city staff for months earning permits and making temporary structures up to code, Haggard said. This is not the first major golf tournament to grace Johns Creek. In 2011, the Atlanta Athletic Club hosted the PGA Championship on their famous Highlands course. The week-long tournament and accompanying festivities gridlocked traffic, despite the use of a pedestrian bridge, and brought an estimated $50 million to the area.
Nelly Korda, 22, bested the field at the Women’s PGA Championship June 27 at Atlanta Athletic Club. She is expected to represent the United States at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Council passes ordinance forming stormwater utility By SYDNEY DANGREMOND sydney@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — In a 5-2 vote, the Johns Creek City Council passed a stormwater utility ordinance that has been years in the making. The council spent the June 21 work session discussing best management practices and peppering Community Development Director Ben Song with questions. Officials then moved into the formal meeting ready to vote on the ordinance that would establish the stormwater utility, set rates and award credits, and define the city’s coverage. A new 10 percent credit was added for those with “private stormwater systems,” an accommodation to concerns raised at the June 7 City Council meeting by several residents of gated-communities. When the time came for a motion to vote on the ordinance, however, Councilman John Bradberry added an amendment to the proposal submitted by Song and staff. Bradberry suggested a 50 percent credit during year one of the ordinance, rather than 40 percent. He reasoned that the increased credit would provide a “softer landing” for citizens who would not otherwise be expecting to get billed for their impervious surfaces and resultant stormwater output. Other council members raised concerns that this change could confuse residents about expected payments in subsequent years and that the additional credit would provide less funding for improvements. The anticipated funds from the ordinance fee, Bradberry said, could be supplemented by the stormwater
accrual fund. Mayor Mike Bodker expressed his support for a utility, but he objected to the lower rates, alerting council members that he would not support the motion. Councilman Lenny Zaprowski then proposed an amendment for the higher rate to get Bodker on board, but the motion died without a second. Council members Stephanie Endres and Chris Coughlin said they were unable to do their “due diligence,” given the “on the fly” amendment and no data to consider the higher rate at that time. Before calling for a vote on Bradberry’s motion, Councilwoman Erin Elwood shared her excitement for the passage of the utility. “We have worked on this for the entire time I’ve been on council, I can’t imagine what it will be like to be on council when we’re not discussing stormwater,” Elwood said. “I think we’re spending $80,000 a year in repairs for stormwater and we’re going to be spending $1.5 million. That is gigantic. That is huge and I’m just very excited for this moment.” Bodker and Zaprowski were the only nay votes. The mayor acknowledged before the end of the meeting that the council had made the right decision in passing the utility. “I commend the council for two years of extremely hard work, diligent debate and a very successful end product,” Bodker said. “I want to thank our staff; they did a wonderful job listening to the council throughout this entire process…. And while I may not be in complete agreement, I am in complete agreement that the council did the right thing tonight.”

The fellowship building reopened in June following months of repairs and renovations.
Historic Milton church reopens building following tropical storm Zeta damages By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Pastor Randall Cagle said he “cried like a baby” last October when a mighty oak smashed the fellowship building at Boiling Springs Primitive Baptist Church in Milton. High winds from then-Tropical Storm Zeta had felled the tree, cutting the building in half. Given the significance the church has had on his spiritual and personal life, Cagle’s reaction was understandable. Dedicated in 1837 off Birmingham Road, Boiling Springs was the first in North Georgia to be constituted as a Primitive Baptist church. Cagle’s grandfather served as a deacon at the church. His father was the pastor of the congregation for 20 years. Cagle said Boiling Springs was the first building his father was taken to following his birth, and it was the last he visited a week before his death. For Cagle, it was where he has attended services all 64 years of his life. He was baptized there in 1966 and was ordained as gospel minister in 1987. After stints with other Primitive Baptist churches in the area, he was called home to serve as Boiling Springs pastor last March, just ahead of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. With so much of his life invested and influenced by the church, Cagle was devastated last October when he fielded a call that a tree had fallen on the congregation’s fellowship building. And he was overcome when he saw the extensive damage the massive trunk fall had caused, practically bifurcating the structure. But when he was approached by someone who had witness the damaged, Cagle responded that the church would not just bounce back, it would “bounce forward.” After months of cleanup, renovations and community action, the church’s fellowship building reopened its doors last month to continue as a hub for the local congregation. And with new amenities and finishes, it has, in Cagle’s words, bounced forward. “We’re very blessed and we are very
pleased,” Cagle said. “Everybody is excited.” The new building, separate from the nearby worship center, will host the church’s Tuesday night Bible study and other gatherings, including an upcoming meeting of Primitive Baptist church leaders. The renovations to the building from last October are transformative. The tree crashed through nearly the middle of the structure, which left just one major wall usable in the upgraded building. Despite the congregation’s efforts to navigate the debris, the church’s library was left exposed to the elements. But now, there are now additional restrooms, a modern HVAC and electrical system, finishes that still smell of fresh paint, and an all-new roof, cabinets and countertops with other features. And the tree that caused the extensive damage to the building is now a part of its structure. Pieces of the tree were taken to a local mill, and the lumber was used for the building’s steps. Another large piece serves as the mantle over the new fireplace. Cagle said he thinks people have to make the effort, but “the Lord will make the way,” and he feels that was evident throughout the cleanup and renovation process. From small by-chance happenings, like finding a tree removal service at just the right time, adopting an expedited build schedule and the congregation unanimously agreeing to the renovation plans, Cagle said everything worked out well. The renovations were also a part of a larger community effort. While the church’s insurance covered much of the costs, there were other aspects that required funding. Cagle said the church received several anonymous donations, and even churches outside Georgia contributed to the $45,000 additional dollars that were required to construct the new fellowship center. Despite the emotional day when he saw a vital part of the church that has so impacted his life destroyed, Cagle is thrilled with the end result. “We didn’t know it would be a blessing, but it has been,” Cagle said.

Johns Creek swears in new police chief Veteran officer named to head department damaged by scandal By SYDNEY DANGREMOND sydney@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Less than a year after it severed ties with Police Chief Chris Byers, the Johns Creek City Council swore in Mark Mitchell as the department’s new head June 21. City Manager Ed Densmore, who served 12 years as Johns Creek’s first police chief, led the search, enlisting the help of the International Association of Chiefs of Police for the nationwide search. “We chose [IACP] specifically because they offered to do a turnkey selection process,” Densmore said. “And they were one of the few [third party search firms] that were able to incorporate community feedback using surveys and those types of functions that we were specifically looking for.” Using input from the city manager, the City Council and survey responses from the community, the organization began compiling an ideal candidate profile. The community survey, conducted through the city’s website, drew 456 resident responses, according to Johns Creek Communications Director Bob Mullen. The IACP screened applications and shared a shortlist with Densmore. At the same time, three panels of five members each were assembled for preliminary interviews with candidates. The first panel, Mayor Mike Bodker said, was composed of citizens who were either nominated by City Council members or who had expressed interest in joining the process. Those candidates were then screened and approved by the IACP. The second panel included mem-
bers of surrounding local law enforcement agencies from Forsyth County, Alpharetta, Roswell, Sandy Springs and Brookhaven. The third and final panel featured Johns Creek government department heads, not including law enforcement. Each panel interviewed four candidates, drafted a list of pros and cons for each, and submitted their findings to Densmore, Bodker said. The city manager then met with the candidates several times before extending the offer to Mitchell and submit his nomination to the City Council on June 7. Densmore said he considered the input from the community survey and from the three panels to form a desired candidate profile. He also registered informal conversations he’d had with residents throughout the search process. “It really kind of boiled down to somebody who could restore some of the trust, help with the morale of the department… somebody who had a passion for the position,” Densmore said. “It was somebody who had been in that role before as a chief. Somebody of high ethical standards, somebody who can really show a pattern of being able to work with the community.” For Mitchell, the decision to lead Johns Creek Police was not difficult. “Johns Creek has always had a very excellent reputation in the law enforcement community as one of the top-notch departments in the state,” Mitchell said. “The more I went through the interview process, the more intrigued I was about the department, the more I wanted to be part of the organization.” Mitchell joins the department with 28 years of law enforcement experience, having served as chief of police for the City of Canton and most recently as the chief of staff for the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice. Mitchell said his time with the Canton Police Department taught him a lot
about the importance of building trust within the community and gave him the opportunity to put the pillars of 21st century policing into practice. The phrase “21st century policing” comes from a task force formed during the Obama administration that established policing best practices. The six pillars governing the principle are: • Building trust and legitimacy • Policy and oversight • Technology & social media • Community policing & crime reduction • Training & education • Officer wellness & safety Mitchell said he sees good implementation of the pillars in the JCPD already. “I believe my experience, along with what this department already has, as it relates to that mindset for community, engagement and building partnerships in the community, may definitely be a good marriage,” Mitchell said. The partnerships between the community and police are important, Mitchell said. “We can sit here and talk about community policing all day, ‘It’s what we’re going to do, this is what we can do,’ and all that,” Mitchell said. “We’ve got to follow through with what we say we’re going to do, to continue to build that trust and those partnerships because communication is going to be the biggest key.” Trust in the JCPD was damaged in the wake of the former chief’s exit last August. Before quietly settling with the city for $325,000 and resigning, Byers was investigated and found guilty of sexual harassment within the department. Mitchell said he plans to uphold a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment that was maintained during Interim Police Chief Roland Castro’s administration. “That’s something we would not tolerate here at the Johns Creek Police

Department at all,” Mitchell said. “So, maintaining that standard, maintaining the professionalism of the organization, and making sure that it doesn’t matter who you are, what race, what gender you are. Here in this department, you know that you can come to a safe work environment, a successful work environment, without being harassed in any way.” The road back to positive community relations is a long one, but Mitchell said he is determined to build that bridge. “This is not an overnight thing,” Mitchell said. “But it’s a daily thing, a daily reinforcement, daily consistency, because we want our citizens to say, ‘That police department has our best interest at heart. They’re going to professionally and procedurally treat us justly. And if they make a mistake, they’re going to tell us that they made a mistake… But they’re going to also put things in place to fix it.’”

The office vacancy and the want to be here at Halcyon is blowing up so much...” ALEX WARNER, Forward Forsyth existing industry project manager July 1, 2021 | Johns Creek Herald | 9
Halcyon underway with second phase of development By ANTHONY PARLOGEAN newsroom@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — In the aftermath of last year’s economic downturn, Halcyon continues to draw new business. The 135-acre, mixed-use community in south Forsyth County has an array of new developments underway this summer as part of its second building phase. Of note is the third creative office space, Building 1100, which is set for completion by the end of the year. Phil Mays, principal of Halcyon developer RocaPoint Partners, said the four-story Building 1100 will add 60,000 square feet to the mixed-use community. Alex Warner, Existing Industry project manager at Forward Forsyth, said Building 1100 already has occupancy agreements for nearly 90 percent of its office space. Forward Forsyth is an economic development wing of the Forsyth County Chamber and local governments. “The office vacancy and the want to be here at Halcyon is blowing up so much, in fact from an economic development standpoint we have multiple projects that are bidding to take up the entire second office tower,” Warner said. “Just one company taking up all the square footage.” Mays said other phase two developments include The Forum Athletic Club, occupying a 23,000-squarefoot space, and a 5,000-square-foot dog boarding and grooming studio. Embassy Suites by Hilton has a 152room hotel set for completion early next year. Overall, Mays said Halcyon withstood the economic downturn well. In all, 14 new businesses have opened since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. They include Rise & Wine, Salata Salad Kitchen, Derbyshire and Board & Brush Creative Studio. CMX CinéBistro has reopened after being closed during the pandemic, Mays said. No restaurant in Halcyon had to close its doors during the pandemic. In fact, according to an economic analysis by the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce, there were no restaurants in the entire area of Forsyth County that closed their doors during the pandemic — there were two restaurants that relocated at the end of their lease. During the pandemic, Halcyon businesses used

Alisa Tanner-Wall and her brother, Nick Tanner, owners and operators of Cherry Street Brewpub, implemented initiatives such as Takeout Tuesday, Takeout Bingo and local neighborhood deliveries. “I think people already kind of knew about us and the different involvements that we had in the community prior,” Tanner-Wall said. “I think that definitely helped ensure that people were supporting us as much as we tried to support them.” In addition to local initiatives, the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce implemented an aggressive economic recovery plan primarily focused on restaurants and retailers. “We worked with everybody to varying degrees on how to be resilient to change up the way they were doing business,” said James McCoy, president of the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce. “[This allowed businesses] to understand what the emergency powers were that would let them do things that they weren’t
able to do under normal circumstances.” Georgia’s state of emergency provided businesses some leeway in operations. Restaurants, for example, were allowed to perform home deliveries without requisite inspections, McCoy said. Forsyth County implemented a grant program, FOCO Cares, which allocated $2 million to eligible small businesses affected by the pandemic. Federal assistance came through Small Business Administration programs like Economic Injury Disaster Loans and the Paycheck Protection Program. Mays said the combination of community outreach, state and federal resources and the ongoing phases of development have contributed to the economic resiliency of Halcyon. “While the world slowed down over the course of the pandemic, Halcyon has been able to successfully bounce back thanks to the ongoing support and engagement from the Forsyth and surrounding metro Atlanta communities,” he said.

Two common interior design mistakes! Brought to you by: Tuscany Fine Furnishings Unless you’re an interior designer you’ve probably made one or both of these mistakes when it comes to decorating your home…. Whether it’s ignoring classic proportions or failing to select cohesive colors, design blunders are a common occurrence. I get so many clients that come into the showroom that watch the design shows, which make it all look so easy, and then come to me for design rescue help. Proportion matters…. When it comes to furniture, artwork and accessories, it’s important to determine the correct size and proportion in relation to the surroundings. It’s very common the sizing isn’t accurate. For example, pictures on the wall are too small for the wall space or even hung too high. Too many small accessories that clutter a space rather than a few larger pieces that can make more of an impact! What’s the fix? Consult with a pro before you make any purchases. For furniture make sure you measure the room before you invest in anything. Take into consideration the room’s overall size, as well as the distance between windows and doors, so you don’t purchase
anything undersized or too large. When hanging pictures, measure 60 to 65 inches from the floor to the center of the art. And slightly higher if it’s in a ‘standing’ room (hallway or entryway) and a bit lower if it’s in a ‘sitting’ room (dining room). Group small pieces together, and if you’re hanging something above a sofa, make sure the bottom of the frame is 6 to 12 inches from the top of the couch. Buy fabrics and textiles first…. A common mistake that most of us are guilty of is….painting first! Put that paint brush down! First, you need to pick out the rooms fabrics and main textiles, such as rugs, sofas, accent chairs etc. Why is this? Because it’s simply much easier to find fabrics we love and then pick out the paint to match. It’s more difficult to find the fabric that we love, that also just happens to match the paint we have already put on our walls! What’s the fix? With budget and room size in mind, work with a professional to look through fabric samples, rugs, artwork etc….find what you love and then once you are happy with your design choices, pick out a paint shade or shades from the chosen textiles. Now your room is ready to be painted!

This Dominant Kitchen Cabinet Trend Brought to you by Remodeling Expo Center When you go shopping for kitchen cabinets there literally are hundreds of door styles and colors to choose from, but the plain truth is that over 90% of all cabinets sold are shaker style and the majority of them are white. White cabinets are the dominant cabinet trend and its been this way for a decade now. Why is this? Stay with me, here. While other cabinet fads come and go, white is a beloved classic for a reason. It’s versatile, it lets the beauty of your millwork show through (whether traditional, shakerinspired, or minimalist and modern), and it’s incredibly easy to live with for years to come. A quick swap of hardware or a new backsplash, and boom— your kitchen looks brand new again. “Like a black dress for a lady or a white button down shirt for a man; white cabinets are an incredibly versatile basis and can be “accessorized” with additional elements like flooring, counters, backsplash, to take on dramatically different looks, from traditional to minimalist to modern”, says John Hogan owner of Remodeling Expo Center. “Our designers create white cabinet kitchens with such different personalities. It’s amazing!” Some of the most popular and
beautiful accessory elements being installed today are: a bright marbleized or veined countertop of quartz or quartzite, complementing perimeter cabinets with a different color island – a striking navy blue or a soft dove gray, expressing your personality with a bold colored backsplash in a interesting herringbone pattern, using expressive cabinet hardware – matte black for drama or satin nickel for sophistication, extending the cabinets to the ceiling to enlarge the room and achieve a grand appearance, incorporating some glass doors on the cabinets to display collectables and fine wine glasses, or using interesting angles in the hood above the cooktop and staggering cabinet heights to create interest for the eye. Kitchen expert John Hogan concludes “If you think shaker or white cabinets are boring, then you just haven’t engaged the right designer yet! It takes careful thought of all the elements in a kitchen to create a million dollar look”. Any realtor will tell you, beautifully designed kitchens with white cabinets, make it easy to sell a home.

Outdoor trends of summer 2021 Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS, Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Even with the world opening back up, many of us have found new comfort in staying at home. Outdoor dinner parties and drinks on the deck are just a couple of the many favorite summertime activities that don’t require going anywhere, especially if you have a great outdoor space. This year’s outdoor living trends are all about making your backyard, porch or even balcony a regular part of everyday life. 1. Bridging Indoors and Outdoors You want your outdoor space to feel like an extension of your home. To achieve that, use string lights to give the illusion of a ceiling. Other ways to do this include adding throw pillows, blankets and area rugs! According to a recent Google report, “indoor-outdoor spaces” is one of the most significantly searched trends of the season, and it’s seen a 155.56% increase in popularity from last year. 2. Warm Outdoor Accents Nothing says summer quite like a spray of color on your patio. Shades of yellow, green and lilac give a calm, relaxing feel and pair well with flowers and foliage. So, it comes as no surprise that the international color experts at Pantone chose Illuminating Yellow as a Color of the Year for 2021! 3. Gardens and Planters The best thing about this trend is that nearly anyone can do it — whether you have a sprawling lawn or a small

The Power of Social Media in Real Estate Brought to you by - Jody Tirone | Realtor®, Ansley Real Estate, O: 770.284.9900 l C: 404.451.3125 Let’s talk about social media. It’s tough to find someone who doesn’t have at least one social media account. Scrolling through your feed several times a day is just part of our everyday life now, especially true after TIRONE last year when shelter-in-place orders kept people inside and sent them to their phones and computers in record numbers resulting in an enormous increase in social media use. Social media is pervasive, intrusive, addictive and can be a helpful resource, especially in the real estate industry – after all it’s easier than ever now for people to go online and find their dream home and connect with an agent! With a large and interactive following on Instagram and Facebook, we see the power of social media in action every day on the Ansley Real Estate channels (@ansleyrealesate) where we communicate and engage with a staggering number of people 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Technological advancements with social media have truly changed the way we search for homes and forever altered the way real estate agents do business. According to survey findings by Pew Research Center, 79% of the 18-to-29-year-old demographic use Facebook, and 67% use Instagram. Of 30-to-49year-olds, 82% use at least one social media platform, Facebook and Instagram being the prevailing favorites. This trend mirrors activity in the housing market as well with Millennials and GenZ representing the largest group of homebuyers in recent years. These two generations will likely represent the majority of homebuyers for the foreseeable future, and how they consume information centers around social media. What started out as a way for people to hang out with their friends online has turned into a place where people can engage in meaningful conversations. Without this type of back-and-forth engagement, social media is just media. People don’t use social networks for a one-way experience, they are

Fun and stylish planters are also a great way to add personality to your outdoor space. Plus, with a wide variety to choose from, decorative planters are easy to customize to every area and style. 4. Outdoor Kitchen Outdoor entertaining changed forever with the outdoor kitchen. This space has become wildly popular over the last few years, and designers keep adding new features and styles that

But it’s not just for cooking; people want to entertain outdoors. An easy way to make that happen is to add bar stools or a dining set. Not only is this enjoyable, but it also increases the value of your home. By implementing these 2021 trends, your outdoor space will be as functional as it is stylish, and you can truly enjoy the Georgia summertime.

OPINION
New places, new discoveries can happen by accident Have you heard the saying — how does it go? — that there’s nothing new under the sun? If you’ve poked around in the outdoors for very long, you might think that’s just another way of STEVE HUDSON saying that there are Get Outside Georgia, no new places to go. aa4bw@comcast.net But is that true? I don’t think so. There will always be
new-to-me spots that I haven’t found – yet! Take the other Sunday afternoon as a case in point. My friend Marty and I had carved out a few hours for a bit of exploration-oriented fishing. We were targeting the Pine Log Wildlife Management Area – specifically Stamp Creek, a stocked trout stream. I’ve got to say that Stamp Creek is a remarkably beautiful flow. When we were there, the stream was crystal clear. I could see every pebble on the bottom even in several feet of water — and among the pebbles there was a lot of life. Minnows nosed
among the stones, looking for something to snack on. Tiny snails crept along the top of submerged rocks. And then there were the crawfish. Have you ever really looked at a crawfish in a creek? This water was absolutely clear, and I was amazed at how colorful those little crawfish were. Spotting one, I tucked my fly rod under one arm and focused my attention on the crawfish as it inched slowly forward. For perhaps five minutes I just stood there watching as the crawfish crept along in front of me in 6 inches of crystal-clear water, going whatever it is that crawfish like to go.
After a little while I forgot that the small fly on the end of my line was still dangling in the water. In fact, I’d forgotten it completely until I felt a slight tug on the line. My mind flashed back to fishing. Had I managed to catch a trout without even trying? No such luck. Instead, what had grabbed my fly was not a fish of the finny sort but yet another crawfish. Turning to look at it, I saw that it had somehow found my fly on the bottom of the stream and appeared to be trying to eat it. Eventually, it gave up, turning the fly loose and wander-

Mary Helen Adams
Mary Helen Adams was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend who left us on June 19, 2021 at age 89. She was born to Marie and Ted Gross in Chicago, Illinois, where she grew up with her three siblings Ted, Marguerite, and Loretta. Her high school senior class prophecy read “still bike-riding, has been feted as the only cyclist who has toured the whole of North America…” Her St. Gregory senior picture highlighted her as a “fashionable miss with a keen sense of humor with consistent courtesy”. While she did not become a cyclist, she did have a whirlwind tour. After graduating nursing school from Saint Francis Hospital School of Nursing, she decided to leave Chicago with eight other nursing friends to live in Hollywood, California. They lived in a two bedroom, eight bed apartment (none of them had jobs yet), where she worked as a nurse. She later moved back to Chicago to live with her family and continued working as a nurse. A few years later, she decided to join the military to see the world, and picked the Air Force because they had the best uniforms! Soon afterwards, she was stationed in San Antonio, Texas. It was there that she met Challie Adams, and Mary fell in love and got married. Mary worked as a nurse on the surgical team at the Lackland Air Force Base Hospital performing some of the first open heart and heart by-pass surgeries. After the birth of their son, David, in Texas, the family moved back to Chicago for 12 years. The family grew with the births of daughters Joni and Lisa. She continued to
work as a nurse. Mary was known for hosting great parties at the house for family, friends, and neighbors. The family then moved to Tucker, Georgia, in 1973, where Mary continued her nursing career. She was a nurse at Egleston, Kennestone, and Piedmont hospitals. She was a great mentor to David and Joni, encouraging both to study at Georgia Tech and become engineers. She later influenced Lisa to take on nursing as a new career, something that bonds them forever. She eventually retired in the 1990s, but continued to inspire all around her. Mary loved to travel and take cruises, and had a special fondness for going to the beach. She loved family and took great pride in it. Mary is survived by her children David (Andrea), Joni Roberts (David), Lisa Puckett (Reid); eight grandchildren (Michelle, Jonathan, Christopher, Kelly, Adam, Marie, Carter, and Sam); and five great grandchildren (Vivian, Ryan, Clara, Cassidy, and Thomas James). She will be missed, but never forgotten. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to the Daisy Foundation (www.daisyfoundation.org/donate) , an organization that recognizes and honors extraordinary nurses. A “Celebration of Life” gathering to remember Mary will be planned in late Summer-early Fall of 2021 with family and friends. Both Mary and Challie will have interment with full military honors at the Georgia National Cemetery in Canton, Georgia in the Fall of 2021.
OPINION
Hudson:
ing iron ore processing industry from the mid-1800s through the years of the Civil War and beyond. In operation, the furnace was fired up and iron ore was dumped into the top. A water wheel powered a bellows system, which forced air into the furnace to smelt the ore and produce metallic iron. To find this furnace yourself, start at the Pine Log Wildlife Management Area where Stamp Creek crosses under Stamp Creek Road. On one side the creek is the WMA’s check-in station, where you can usually pick up a paper map of the area. After picking up a map, cross the bridge to the gravel road which leads away from the highway and into the management area. That road is gated. If the gate is open, you can drive in. If not, you’ll need to hike. Follow the road (which more or less parallels the creek) until it turns left and crosses Stamp Creek on a concrete creek crossing. There’s space on either side of the creek for a few cars to park. Now walk upstream along the trail on river-right (that is, on the right side of the flow as you’re looking downstream). Look to the left for the stone outlines of the old furnace to appear. It’s always fun to find new places like this one, especially when you find them by accident. I’ve since learned that there are other old furnaces to be found in the area Pine
Continued from Page 20 ing off in search of more palatable fare. But did we catch any trout? We saw a few. But in water this clear, the fact is that they saw us long before we spotted them. No fish were caught, at least not by us. But that’s fishing! After a while, we decided it was time to call it a day. We exited the creek and turned downstream, following the streamside path, and that’s when we saw it: a tapered stone structure about 30 yards away, barely visible through the thick summer vegetation. It looked for all the world like some artifact of a lost civilization. We picked our way through the undergrowth, approaching for a closer look. The ancient ruin turned out to be a 19th-century iron furnace. There are several of those in the immediate area, the best known of which is Cooper Furnace near Allatoona Dam. But this one was new – at least to me. This particular furnace, known as the Lewis Furnace, is one of several built in 1847 by Dr. John W. Lewis, who lived in nearby Cartersville. It was part of a thriv-
