Friends step up to help veteran Healthcare ‘family’ combs the country to find organ match

Roswell restaurant revives Hero Meals to reach overlooked frontline workers By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Three years after Milton resident Jeanine Ramirez was diagnosed with kidney failure, her kidney function had decreased by over 75%. Doctors said she would need to be placed on a waiting list that could take up to 10 years for her to receive an organ transplant. “I’m a single mom,” Ramirez said. “I was terrified at that point.” Ramirez, 46, had served eight years in the U.S. Army and completed two tours in Iraq before she retired in 1997 and moved to Georgia. In early 2021, the doctors gave her one to six months to live, so she began to make arrangements for her 17-year-old daughter with the help of one of her colleagues at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Her colleague, 52-year-old Jane Bridges, of Florida, could not donate a kidney because of her own medical reasons. Instead, she launched a personal outreach campaign to more than 200 of their fellow employees in hopes of finding a donor. “I didn’t want to lose a friend,”

Bridges said. “I knew there was something more that I could do even if it was just reaching out to other people. Jeanine has become a very good friend

over the years, so that was my big motivation right there.”

ROSWELL, Ga. — Big Oak Tavern chefowner Nate Armstrong has relaunched his Hero Meals initiative to support frontline workers who have been overlooked the past two years. The campaign focuses on those at COVID-19 vaccination sites, small doctor’s offices, call centers and nonprofits. And while Armstrong continues to support the community, this time he has his team at Big Oak Tavern and a state senator to back him up in an effort to deliver 100,000 free meals all over Georgia. “My main goal is to start a chain reaction,” Armstrong said. “I would love for it to go to South Carolina, to North Carolina and then for it to start with other restaurants. When you think about how short-staffed everyone is, a little show of appreciation and thank you goes a long way.” Armstrong began the initiative in 2020. At the time, Big Oak Tavern had only been open for a month when it was forced to shut down. Armstrong said

Dunwoody officer disciplined for divulging details of DUI

By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Dunwoody Police Department officer was placed on paid administrative leave and is under investigation after alerting local media about another Dunwoody officer’s arrest for DUI.

Officer: Dell-Ross joins City of Milton as engineering project manager

Continued from Page 2

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton’s new engineering project manager is Rob Dell-Ross, who previously served as the transportation deputy director for the City of Roswell. Public Works Director Sara Leaders introduced Dell-Ross to the Milton City Council Feb. 7. She said he is a professional engineer and traffic operations engineer. Dell-Ross, who has been working in Milton for the past four weeks, thanked City Manager Steven Krokoff and Deputy City Manager Stacey Inglis for “creating a positive, uplifting kind of teamwork atmosphere.” “It’s been amazing,” Dell-Ross said. “There are a lot of longtime employees that have been here since day one, and I am happy to continue to do great work here in public works.” For over 20 years, Dell-Ross said he has been in Metro Atlanta working on design, project management, management and transportation. He called transportation his world. “I am happy to be able to help Sara push projects forward through delivery and give you projects that you’ll be happy and proud of and that will continue the high-quality effort that we expect from the City of Milton,” Dell-Ross said. “Questions on transporta-

tion projects, things that we are building out of T-SPLOST, things that we may not even be paying for but the state [Department of Transportation] is working on – all of those questions – please send them to Sara and I.” While in Roswell, DellRoss and City Attorney David Davidson were the last two city employees named in the Oxbo Road realignment project investigative report who were still employed with the city. The other city staff who were mentioned since retired, resigned Rob Dell-Ross is the or moved on without a public City of Milton’s new explanation. project manager. The investigation, which cost the City of Roswell upwards of $131,522, found that delays and millions of dollars in cash settlements for the project were the results of 15 years of mismanagement by Roswell city staff. The investigation did not place any direct blame on DellRoss. It only mentioned that he had been interviewed as part of the investigation.

tor Jennifer Boettcher said in a statement that the city intended to be transparent about Parsons’ arrest. She said the Police Department issued a press release “as soon as all information was available to share.” Grogan issued a statement confirming Bolden’s suspension, adding it would be inappropriate to comment further. Bolden has been in contact with Austin Handle, a former Dunwoody officer who was fired from the department two years ago and now serves as vice chair of Lamplighter Project, a national organization that encourages law enforcement officers to speak out against police corruption or injustice. Handle likened Bolden’s suspension to his own firing, which he said occurred after he spoke up about harassment he had faced in the department. Handle noted this is not the first time the department has faced internal issues, nor is it the first time Bolden has spoken out against them. In 2020 the department investigated close to 50 allegations of sexual harassment and unprofessional conduct by the department’s senior officers. Bolden spoke out during the investigation of former Lt. Fidel Espinoza, who resigned from the department before the probe concluded. Bolden said Espinoza had continuously tried to coerce him into sexual activities. He also said Espinoza had falsely accused him of stealing. “Our concerns about the lacking ethical leadership and accountability at the Dunwoody Police Department remain unaddressed and uncorrected,” Handle said in a statement. “Although disenfranchised by department leadership, we will continue to protect the citizens of our city both blatantly and confidently regardless of venue.”

City appoints McKIveen director of Parks New department head helped expand city’s greenspace MILTON, Ga. — Tom McKlveen has been promoted to serve as Milton’s Parks and Recreation Director, replacing longtime director Jim Cregge who retired nearly two years ago. The city announced Feb. 7 that since the middle of 2020, McKlveen has served as its Parks and Recreation manager and, in recent months, has assumed the new responsibilities of community outreach and managing special community events. City Manager Steve Krokoff said McKIveen has done outstanding in leading a department that is vitally important to the city. “I am confident that he’s the right person to lead Milton Parks and Rec now and into the future and that our city will be better off thanks to his leadership,” Krokoff said. McKlveen joined the Parks and Recreation Department in December 2015 and served in various roles related to the build-out of its athletic and arts programs and the management of Bell and Providence parks. Then, in 2020, McKIveen was charged with spearheading a

department in the thick of a pandemic, balancing public safety with the increased desire for parks and recreational outlets. Despite the challenges, the city stated, McKIveen rose to the occasion time and again, striving and succeeding in maintaining the status quo as well as offering increased and improved services, programs and facilities for the community. Over the past year, McKlveen and his team have also worked with Community Development Director Bob Buscemi and Public Works Director Sara Leaders on several major projects. After the Parks and Recreation Department assumed the day-to-day management of the city’s passive parks, its team worked to open the 106-acre Lackey Road greenspace. Later this year, the city will also boast about twice as much trail area once the new trail at the former Milton County Club opens. McKlveen’s other accomplishments include assisting with the transformation of Providence Park, turning the former Milton Country Club clubhouse into a recreation and community center,

working through plans to double the city’s available turf field space with an upcoming project at the Cox Road athletic facility and increasing enrollment for Milton’s athletic programs. Because of this, the city stated, the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association has named the Parks and Recreation Department as its Agency of the Year for the state’s 7th district. “A lot has happened with Milton Parks and Rec in the past year or so, and I’m even more excited for what’s on the horizon,” McKlveen said. “More than anything, I’m honored to play my part in giving our citizens the parks, programs and services that they want and deserve.” McKIveen’s promotion is the city’s latest hire from within. In September, Milton appointed Sara Leaders as the director of Public Works, a position she had served in the interim. In December, Milton also named former Special Events Coordinator Anita Jupin as the new Economic Engagement Manager. — Chamian Cruz

despite his own pandemic struggles, he immediately wondered about what he could do for the community. Through Hero Meals, Armstrong was able to deliver 650 meals to local intensive care COVID-19 units. But as enthusiasm for the initiative faded, so did deliveries. Armstrong said his team began to drop off meals to a firehouse or small site only every couple of months. Then the Omicron surge hit. Big Oak Tavern was among the first few restaurants to close and do take-out only, a move Armstrong made on his own for the safety of his family and staff. Then about a month ago he said he woke up at 3 a.m. with a nagging feeling that he needed to relaunch Hero Meals on a grander scale. That same day, Fox 5 News reached out to him about a story, and a short time later so did 11Alive. Armstrong said State Sen. John Albers also reached out to donate the first $1,000, or 100 meals, to relaunch the initiative and to say he and his wife Kari Albers wanted to partner with him to start a foundation – the Big Oak Cares Foundation. “[Sen. Albers] said we’ve seen what you’ve done in the community, so we want to help you,” Armstrong said. “Everything started to line up.” Armstrong put $5,000 of his own money from Big Oak Tavern to get going. To date, he and his team have delivered nearly 2,000 meals to sites as close as the Drake House to as far as Henry County. Armstrong said they’re good meals, too. Each dish contains a mix of either salmon, ribeye, pulled pork, rib tips, fried chicken, brisket and mixed or seasonal vegetables, mashed potatoes, roasted red potatoes, green beans or broccoli. There are also vegan and vegetarian options. “I’m passionate about food, so this is

ies and give locals and visitors the chance to try out a new restaurant or revisit one of their favorite spots.” Participants in Restaurant Week include 19 North, Carson Kitchen, Central City Tavern, CHIRINGA, Citizen Soul, Grouchy’s NY DEli and PONKO Chicken. Dining options, prices and more information can be found at AwesomeAlpharetta.com/alpharetta-restaurant-week. Alpharetta Restaurant Week is produced by Atlanta-based Flavors Magazine.

my outlet to show we care,” Armstrong said. “That’s what I want the community to understand. This is real.” Since relaunching the initiative, there’s been an outpouring of support from nurses and other frontline workers, who often take to social media to express how much they enjoy knowing someone is thinking about them. Armstrong said it’s also boosted morale among his staff. “They love it,” Armstrong said. “Even though we’re closed for takeout only and there are some days they don’t make great tips, they understand that when we do reopen it’s going to be worth staying. What we’re doing is for a great cause.” Armstrong said the fact that the restaurant survived the height of the pandemic solely based on community support says a lot. After leaving Stoney River Steakhouse, where he worked as the executive chef and later the general manager, he vowed to integrate Big Oak Tavern into the community. “I’ve always been the person to give back,” Armstrong said. “It’s something that I’m passionate about. It’s just I never had an outlet. Now that I have the outlet no one can stop me. … We literally want to plant our roots in Roswell and grow with the community, and that’s what we’ve done.” Big Oak Tavern has remained closed since the last week of December. The plan is to continue delivering meals primarily Monday through Friday and open the patio on weekends. Armstrong said a car went through the patio last summer and the damage is only now being repaired. In the meantime, the community is encouraged to donate by visiting bigoaktavern.com. The community is also asked to share information on future sites to visit. Armstrong said if he has to take Hero Meals on the road to cook on site, he will. Big Oak Tavern is located at 1090 Alpharetta St. in Roswell. For updates, go to Big Oak Tavern on Facebook and Instagram.

Organizational leadership is not complicated, but it’s not easy. ANDY STANLEY, founder, North Point Community Church 8 | Milton Herald | February 17, 2022

North Point Community Church hosts officials in leadership By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta’s North Point Community Church hosted professionals, business leaders and mayors Feb. 10 for one of its Leadership Labs events, headlined by North Point founder and author Andy Stanley. Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin and Johns Creek Mayor John Bradberry attended the event, which focused on being an effective leader in any business or organization. Around 1,000 people registered for the event. Stanley was introduced by John Deushane, president and general manager of 11 Alive. The church gave away a few items during Deushane’s speech, including copies of one of Stanley’s books. “No matter what industry you’re in, leadership has been a challenge over the past couple of years,” Deushane said. “As leaders, we all need clarity even in times like the pandemic, when there was nothing clear at that time.” Clarity was one of the defining factors in Stanley’s talk on leadership. He said as organizations grow larger, they become more complex and lose clarity. In turn, organizations lose sight of what’s important and begin to waste time and money. Stanley said a simple way to ensure clarity is to make sure everyone in an organization can answer three questions in a single sentence: what their organization does, why they do it and how they fit in as an individual. He said everyone in an organization should be able to answer the first two

North Point Community Church founder Andy Stanley speaks to community leaders at the church Feb. 10. questions the same way, but the third answer should be unique to a person’s role. He said where a person fits into an organization isn’t just about their job description, but what the most critical aspect of their role is. “I’m telling you, your folks are going to thank you,” Stanley said. “Because when they come to work, they’re going to know what we’re doing. They’re going to know why we’re doing it. That’s

the inspiration, and they’re going to know that they have a critical role to play.” Stanley said that leadership isn’t about being the smartest person in the room, but about having the right ideas and learning how to handle it. He said that he often struggled to succeed in grade school and college but eventually became a successful leader. “Organizational leadership is not

complicated, but it’s not easy,” Stanley said. “The reason it became simple for me is because I had to make it simple or I wouldn’t survive.” North Point will hold its next Leadership Labs seminar online March 24. Ryan Jenkins, a renowned speaker and author will headline the event, focusing on the effects of loneliness in the workplace. Participants can register at the church’s website.

The sun rises over the Alpharetta Farm at Old Rucker Park. Food Well Alliance chose Alpharetta to receive a $75,000 grant to develop a city agriculture plan.

Alpharetta joins Food Well Alliance to promote community agriculture By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — While even some locals may find it hard to picture, the city of Alpharetta was once a small agrarian community. Though its population has grown more than twentyfold over the past four decades, the city is now seeking to return to its locally-grown roots by promoting fresh, sustainable community agriculture. The city of Alpharetta is teaming up with Food Well Alliance, an Atlanta-based agriculture advocacy organization, and the Atlanta Regional Commission to bolster the city’s local growing efforts. The organizations chose Alpharetta to receive a $75,000 funding grant to develop and implement a city agriculture plan, and the City Council agreed at its Jan. 18 meeting to match that funding. Alpharetta is the second city to receive the grant, behind East Point. “The opportunity to develop a comprehensive plan for agriculture is really forward-thinking and will help ensure that Alpharetta is the community we want to leave for our grandchildren,” Mayor Jim Gilvin said in a statement. The plan will involve a community engagement phase that is expected to begin in early spring and will involve gathering local food producers, distributors and consumers to strengthen their relationships.

Alpharetta Community Services Manager Amanda Musilli said the city is working on compiling lists of stakeholders who they want to ensure are involved in the process. Musilli said that while the plan is still in its early phases, it holds limitless possibility and opportunity for local agriculture to grow. She said some options include fostering a cooperative of backyard growers, bringing more food gardens to high schools or adding native, edible landscaping, such as blueberry bushes, to local parks. “I’m just excited to help facilitate these conversations, figure out where the need is and how we can create something as a city to incubate the solutions to those needs,” Musilli said. Food Well Alliance and the Atlanta Regional Commission partnered in 2019 to begin the city agriculture plan program with the goal of helping Metro Atlanta communities develop roadmaps to create strong and sustainable community food systems. Musilli said the city caught the organizations’ eyes with its already robust local agriculture programs. She specifically referenced the Alpharetta Farm at Old Rucker Park, the city’s 2 ½-acre organic farm that includes a community garden, a small orchard, a berry patch and more. The city also hosts a community garden membership program which distributes seeds and seedling plants to members.

County OKs parkland swap for Polo Fields Scores of residents turn out for decision By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Close to 100 residents showed up Feb. 3 as the Forsyth County Commission voted to swap a portion of the new Denmark Park for property developed for sports at the Polo Fields. The vote was 5-0. The deal cedes just under two-thirds of Denmark Park – 50 acres – for almost 39 acres at Polo Fields, including its six soccer fields. In all, 19 residents addressed commissioners on the issue during public comment. Sentiment was split almost evenly. Resident Lisa Calloway spoke passionately against the land swap, accusing the county of shrouding the deal in secrecy up until the vote. As the commission approved the purchase of Polo Fields, she and several other residents opposed to the deal stood up and left the chamber. Residents in favor of the deal applauded. “They told us in December they would have a town hall, and they didn’t,” Calloway said as she exited the commission chambers. “We all come to this meeting and make a public comment, but it was very clear that they had already decided.” Resident Mike Melz spoke to commissioners in favor of preserving the Polo Fields. He said the fields have become one of Forsyth County’s historical landmarks, the “crown jewel” of the county. Speaking after the vote, Melz said he was gratified the Polo Fields will be preserved. “When you look at the history of the Polo Fields, Prince Charles played polo there with the British royal polo team,”

JAKE DRUKMAN/APPEN MEDIA

A crowd of more than 100 gathered in the Forsyth County commission chamber for the Feb. 3 meeting. The commission unanimously approved a land swap, ceding part of Denmark Park to purchase almost 39 acres at Polo Fields. Melz said. “That’s history. That is definitively something to cherish.” Melz said he wasn’t thrilled about the possibility of Denmark Park land being developed into houses, but that it made more sense to give up the park. Under terms of the agreement, the county will purchase the Polo Fields property for $7.5 million. County Attorney Ken Jarrard said the deal is contingent upon the county raising at least the same amount from the sale of the Denmark Park property. He said that if the county is unable to sell the portion of Denmark Park for at least $7.5 million by June 6, the contract to purchase Polo Fields is dissolved unless it is amended before then. Developers have made efforts in recent years to rezone Polo Fields to allow residential and commercial developments. Residents around Denmark Park say they fear those development plans

will now move to the park land. The commission purchased the first plot of land that became Denmark Park in 2018 and budgeted $12 million for its development. When money became tight in 2020, the commission opted to divert those funds into improving existing parks. District 3 County Commissioner Todd Levent, whose district covers Denmark Park, spoke against diverting the funds. Polo Fields, about 5 miles northeast of the park, also falls in Levent’s district. Levent said he wished the county had the money to purchase Polo Fields and keep Denmark Park, but it wasn’t possible. He said it would be eight years before the county may have the funds to develop soccer fields at Denmark Park, and topography would limit it to four fields. “We don’t just blindly do mean things to people,” Levent said in an interview prior to the vote. “It’s just that right now

we need six fields desperately for these kids and we’re juggling what we have and our resources to maintain those fields.” County commissioners informally agreed at a Dec. 2 meeting to hold a town hall regarding the land swap before the vote, but the meeting never occurred. Meanwhile, residents near the park mounted a campaign to stop the deal. Kay Veal, who sold the county most of the acreage for the park three years ago, said she and her late husband had turned down millions of dollars in offers from developers. She said her late husband was opposed to having the property covered in homes. “My husband just did not want houses on his farm,” Veal said. “We turned down $10 million because he didn’t want houses on the property. Now it looks like they’re going to put houses on the property.”

Private school vouchers gain steam in Legislature By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmedia.com ATLANTA — Private school vouchers have taken a front seat under the Gold Dome this session as one group of legislators push for more education options, while others lobby for more public school support. In past sessions, lawmakers have created programs for special needs students to receive vouchers for private school tuition, as well as tax breaks for donations to foundations which fund private school scholarships. This session, legislators will consider HB 999, dubbed the “Georgia Educational Freedom Act,” requiring the state set aside funding for $6,000 scholarships to pay private school tuition. Unlike other private school vouchers, HB 999 has few eligibility requirements for students. Sponsored by Rep. Wes Cantrell (RWoodstock) the bill seeks to provide options for parents unhappy with public education. “Even when our public schools do a great job, which they most often do, there’s always going to be a small percentage of students who need a different learning path,” Cantrell said during a recent podcast. “One size does not fit all, especially when it comes to education.” The disruption to education because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the struggles by many students to adapt to remote learning is spurring the need for more choices. Under HB 999, any student whose public school did not offer 100 percent inperson instruction for at least one semester last year is eligible for the voucher. That provision opens the scholarship to students in many of the larger school districts in Metro Atlanta. “I trust parents, and parents know

what’s best for their kids,” Cantrell said. “And why shouldn’t they be able to take a portion of their tax money and find a better path for their children?” Funding for private school vouchers would have to be appropriated in the state budget each year, similar to the current voucher programs. In contrast to other private school voucher campaigns, HB 999 has bi-partisan support. Three Democrats, representatives Patty Bentley (Butler), Mike Glanton (Jonesboro) and Angela Moore (Decatur) are signed on as co-sponsors. Some criticize proposal But most Democrats are wary. Rep. Donna McLeod (D-Lawrenceville) says public schools have been historically underfunded, and HB 999 cuts even further. “We’ve not given the public school systems all the resources they need to actually work,” McLeod said during the podcast appearance with Cantrell. “And so, we’re damaging our own children [the majority of whom] are in the public school system.” She said private school vouchers do little to help lower-income students gain access to private schools. According to Private School Review, the average private school tuition this year in Georgia is $11,040. Cantrell noted the legislation only impacts the state allotment for schools – not local and federal tax funding which is a significant part of many school budgets. In the Fulton County School System, local tax dollars fund nearly 70 percent of the district’s annual budget. Another voucher option Cantrell is also the sponsor of House Bill 60, referred to as the “Georgia Promise Scholarship Act.” The bill was introduced last year and remains “alive” this session.

Provisions of HB-999

‘Georgia Educational Freedom Act’ A “promise scholarship account” would be established for eligible students, providing them with a $6,000 voucher per school year. Unused funds (up to 50%) can roll over into the next school year, or to a qualified post-secondary institution after high school graduation. Student eligibility: A parent lives in Georgia, and the student was enrolled in and attended a public school in Georgia for at least six weeks during the previous school year. Coursework must include reading, grammar, math, social studies and science. The student is not a recipient or beneficiary of the special needs voucher. Qualified education expenses include: Tuition, fees and required textbooks Tutoring services Payment for curriculum and required materials Tuition and fees for a private online learning program Services from a physician or licensed therapist Up to $500 per year to a transportation provider to or from school/service provider

Quality Basic Education Act

Law passed in 1985 which created a formula to fund K-12 public education. The formula considers number and type of student (i.e., grade, special education/gifted needs, etc.), training and experience of staff, and indirect costs such as books, materials, etc. Each year Georgia legislators determine the base amount of state funding needed per student based on the formula. The remaining funding needs for districts comes from other state allotments and local/federal tax dollars. HB 60 provides a private school voucher up to 95 percent of the state allotment for public schools. It limits eligibility to students in foster care, with special needs, whose parents are active military, and from families earning 400% below the poverty line. One key difference between HB 999 and HB 60 is the funding availability. Under HB 60, vouchers would only be allowed if the state fully funds all public schools under the Quality Based Education (QBE) formula, a system that bases state funding on the number of full-time students.

For historical reference, the state has rarely fully funded schools since the QBE formula legislation was passed in 1985. There is, however, more commitment in recent year to achieve full funding. Both HB 999 and HB 60 must be approved by both the Senate and House before being sent to the governor for final approval. HB 60 was recently passed out of the House Education Committee and sent to the Senate for further action. HB 999 is currently in committee. Cantrell said he is confident at least one bill will pass this session.

Scholarship to aid Blacks uprooted by racism By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Faith leaders from across Forsyth County announced Feb. 1 the launch of a scholarship for the descendants of African Americans who were driven out of the county in the early 1900s. The African American Descendants of Forsyth Scholarship will award up to $10,000 per year per recipient for a four-year scholarship, with the goal of serving at least 10 students in the first year. The number of recipients and money awarded is contingent on the amount of money the scholarship raises until the application review process

begins. The racial expulsion in Forsyth County began when Robert Edwards, a Black man, was accused of beating and raping 18-year-old Mae Crow, who later died of her injuries. Edwards was arrested, but a mob of White residents broke into the jail and killed him. White residents later hanged two Black teenagers. White residents soon used threats of violence to drive the around 1,000 Black residents out of their homes in Forsyth County, which remained almost entirely White until the 1980s. The scholarship seeks to recognize the injustices committed against the Black population of Forsyth County. “This is an act of love — doing for a

few what we wish we could do for all,” retired Forsyth County pastor Durwood Snead said in a statement announcing the scholarship. “This is not meant to be a repayment, a reckoning or reparations. We encourage our community to learn about these events and participate in supporting the scholarship.” To qualify for the scholarship, an applicant must be a high school senior or college undergraduate and show proof of being a direct descendant of an African American family who lived in the county until 1912. They must also write an essay describing their family’s journey after being driven out of Forsyth County. Proof of ancestry can include birth

certificates, census records, death certificates or other documentation. Applicants who believe they may be descendants or have trouble finding documentation can contact scholarship administrators for assistance. Signatories for the scholarship include pastors from 10 area churches around. The Forsyth County Ministerial Association and the Community Remembrance Project of Forsyth County are supporting the scholarship. Applications for the scholarship will open Feb. 15 and close April 30, with awards for the fall 2022 semester announced on June 15. More information and a page to donate can be found at ForsythScholarship.com.

Orchestra Noir makes debut at Roswell Cultural Arts Center By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The community grooved to the sounds of soul, funk and R&B last week, when, for the first time, Orchestra Noir took the stage at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center. The Feb. 4 performance officially launched the Roswell Roots Festival, which is part of the city’s Black History Month celebration. Roswell Cultural Arts Supervisor Corinne Sutherlin said the show was sold out with about 600 in attendance. “We received nothing but positive feedback from the community and the orchestra,” Sutherlin said. “It truly was a great way to kick off Roswell Roots.” Founded in 2016 by Maestro Jason Ikeem Rodgers, the ensemble has gained national attention for its mission to celebrate Black music pioneers and introduce classical music to younger and more diverse audiences. Rodgers said the show was an homage to old school R&B. The ensemble played 13 songs, including an original piece, “Before I Let Go” by Frankie Beverly and Maze, “It’s a Man’s World” by James Brown and “Respect,” Aretha Franklin’s signature piece written by Jerry Butler and Georgia native Otis

CHAMIAN CRUZ/APPEN MEDIA

Orchestra Noir performs at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center for the first time Feb. 4. The orchestra played songs immortalized by Black artists, like “Georgia on My Mind,” “Remember the Time” and “Let’s Stay Together.” Redding . At the Jan. 24 City Council meeting, Roswell Cultural Arts Manager Beckie Hawkins said the Roswell Roots Committee, made up of volunteers, dedicates its time and energy year-round to ensure the festival remains relevant to the community and offers an engaging calendar

of events and programs for all ages. Roswell Roots Committee Chair Sharon Crumley said the festival was an idea made possible by Groveway Community Group President Gail Bohannon and the Roswell Recreation and Parks Department to recognize the contributions of the Black community and the

evolution of the City of Roswell. “From the earliest enslaved residents to the Bailey-Johnson Colored School to the college fair, the emphasis has been on being involved,” Crumley said. “We are the realization and fulfillment of those early residents’ ideals and are sharing the progress they could only imagine.” Hawkins and Crumley also took the opportunity at the meeting to introduce a new logo for the Roswell Roots Festival that replaces the 20-year-old banner. “Borrowing symbolism and colors from various African regions, the updated Roswell Roots logo uses a collection of symbols and rich colors to express the values and philosophy of our Roswell Roots Festival,” Hawkins said. “This logo illustrates the following: harmony, renewal, growth, harvest, protection, freedom, honor and remembrance, connection, healing, prosperity, wisdom, home and spirit.” Following Orchestra Noir’s performance, the city hosted Super Museum Sunday on Feb. 6 at Barrington Hall, Bulloch Hall and the Smith Plantation. The event drew nearly 400 visitors, according to the city’s Historic Assets Division. Sutherlin said a theatrical presentation,

The two met in person for one time at an evaluation before Deibert traveled from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Atlanta to undergo surgery at the Emory Transplant Center on Nov. 11. “Oddly enough, I wasn’t really surprised that I was a match, because I felt like it was intended for me to be that person for Jeanine,” Deibert said. “But it was such a cool feeling to get confirmation that I was doing the right thing.” Ramirez said the first two weeks post-surgery were the most challenging. Luckily for her, Bridges made the trip to Milton to help care for her. It was the first time they met face-to-face. But by December, Ramirez said she was already more independent and could even drive herself to her appointments. Deibert said working from home also eased his recovery. For the first couple of weeks, he remembers feeling sore at the incision, but less than a month later, he was back to feeling like himself. Now, he, Bridges and Ramirez continue to spread awareness about living organ donation. “It’s better for the recipient and it can help someone live a better life in the long run,” Deibert said. “A lot of people will check organ donation on their driver’s license so they can donate after they’re deceased, but you can do it safely while you’re alive. You also don’t have to donate an organ to be extremely important in somebody’s journey. In our case, Jane was just as essential as I was.” On a recent Saturday morning, Ramirez and her daughter spoke to a group at Margie’s House in Fairburn, Georgia, a non-profit organization that connects the disadvantaged with the resources they need to become self-sustaining, to educate them about organ transplant options. Ramirez said many people don’t know they can be listed at more than one transplant center, including out of state, or are afraid to be a donor because they think it will be an out-ofpocket expense. Most recently in Georgia, Sen. John Albers filed the “Giving the Gift of Life Act” to protect living donors from losing or being denied life insurance. The bill also raises the tax credit to $25,000 and provides a tax credit for businesses to assist their employees with organ donation. Albers donated a kidney to his son in 2020, which is what he said inspired him to adjust the donation process to ensure more Georgians can donate and receive organs. The bill was heard in

She stated her house was locked and secured when she left. Law enforcement entered the residence and saw the window to the back door of the house had been smashed. As police cleared the master bedroom, they found empty jewelry boxes spread across the room, drawers open and items out of place. The master closet was found in disarray. Upstairs, a room showed signs it had been searched for valuables as well. Law enforcement advised the victim to do an inventory on everything that was stolen and to email it to them.

Sutherlin said the city hosted the African Americans Inventors’ Exhibit, Creation Station and a special reading by children’s author Patrice McLaurin. “Roswell Roots has an opportunity for all ages and is welcoming to all community members,” Sutherlin said. “We aim to educate, impact and promote cultural awareness city-wide. There are still so many amazing events this February, including Black History 101 on Saturday, Feb. 12, where we explore Black history and culture.” “‘Lives Taken, Lives Remembered,’ a Fulton County Remembrance Coalition Quilt Project Exhibit, will be on display at the Roswell River Landing Feb. 18-20,” Sutherlin said. “Last but not least, we have ‘An Evening of Spoken Word’ with Ashlee Haze and Joan ‘Lyric’ Leslie on Feb. 25 and local children’s author Maisha Cerqueda, who will read ‘My Gnomies,’ followed by a Creation Station craft on Feb. 26.”

Jimmie Deibert smiles after donating one of his kidneys to Jeannine Ramirez. The two are colleagues at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

Jane Bridges, of Florida, works with Milton resident Jeanine Ramirez at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. After finding out she could not donate a kidney to Ramirez, she launched a personal outreach campaign to more than 200 of their fellow employees in hopes of finding a donor. the Senate Committee on Insurance and Labor Jan. 25 at the State Capitol. American Kidney Foundation President and CEO LaVarne Burton applauded the introduction of the bill. “With two protections for living organ donors already in place, Georgia currently has a C grade on our State of the States: Living Donor Protection Report Card,” Burton said. “Enacting anti-insurance discrimination protections and employer tax credits, as well as enhancing tax credits for donors, through the Giving the Gift of Life Act would improve the state’s grade to a B and, most importantly, make more organs available for the nearly 4,000 Georgians on the transplant waiting list, including more than 3,600 who are waiting for a kidney.” As for the trio’s relationship postsurgery, Deibert said they continue to stay in touch through work. “Jeanine says we’re family for life, so I guess we’ll have to go with that,” Deibert said.

OPINION

Local journalists keep showing up We wrote a story this week about a component of President Biden’s Build Back Better Act that would provide an employment tax credit for local newspapers that would encourage them HANS APPEN to hire and retain Publisher more journalists. hans@appenmediagroup.com I was asked to provide a quote for the article on why that provision of the bill was important and what it would mean for newspapers and local journalism across the country, should the provision stay in the bill and make it to the president’s desk for signature. The assignment made me think about a recent planning retreat that the Alpharetta City Council took to Greenville, South Carolina. On the retreat, the council and city staff talked about its priorities, where it can and should spend money, strategies for promoting and continued planning one of its largest infrastructure investments ever – the Alpha Loop trail system, and much more. No votes were taken. No money was officially allocated. But still, a lot happened. And sitting front row for it all, taking furious notes to bring back with him to Alpharetta, was our reporter, Jake Drukman. He was the only person that was not a member of city staff or an elected official in attendance. No one from the community was there, no one voiced their opinion in favor or against an agenda item, and there was not a live stream of the meetings available to those at home. We paid for Jake’s travel, food and hotel. He spent his entire weekend reporting on the retreat.

He was there, representing the eyes and ears of the citizens of Alpharetta, to ensure they would know what had happened when he’d finished writing his report. We have no reason to believe anything nefarious would have happened had he not been there, taking notes and asking questions, but it doesn’t matter, because he was. And that’s the case in local newsrooms across the country: they show up. They ask the hard questions. They help readers understand issues and hold government officials accountable. But many of the newspapers who employ those journalists are in a tough spot, especially the ones in rural communities where businesses and residents that support local newspapers through more traditional means, like advertising and paid subscriptions, just aren’t there anymore. Google the term “news desert” and you’ll see what I mean. A tax credit for employing journalists in those communities could be the difference between keeping one or two journalists on staff, if they keep any at all. The Build Back Better Act has already passed in the House of Representatives, but it has not made it to the floor of the Senate yet for a vote. Both Georgia Senators Warnock and Ossoff have signaled their support for the bill, should they be given the opportunity to vote on it, but I would still encourage you to take the time to give their offices a call and thank them for supporting local journalism. It matters. The phone number for the United States Capitol is (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request.
