MILTON, Ga. — The City of Milton is at the tail end of transforming two full-sized, multipurpose athletic fields on Cox Road into fully operating turf playing space.
The project, approved by the City Council in October 2021, began construction in May. Now, with the turf installed, workers are wrapping up fencing and an ADA-accessible sidewalk to the lower field.
Rather than criminal charges, the call ended in an involuntary treat ment for a person exhibiting symp toms posing an imminent threat to themselves or others.

“The FBI is a critical partner in our efforts to identify and rescue adults and children who are being victims of sex trafficking,” Dunwoody Chief of Police Billy Grogan said. “It’s an issue that a lot of people don’t want to talk about, but it’s certainly some thing that’s prevalent, more than most people know. And you can certainly look at the stats of Operation Cross Country to note that.” Nationwide, Operation Cross Coun try led to the location of 141 adult victims of human trafficking and 31 missing children, the FBI said. Inves tigators also identified or arrested 85 suspects with child sexual exploitation and human trafficking offenses.

Following the announcement on Operation Cross Country, the Dun woody Police Department thanked federal authorities for their support during the two-week investigation.
“Human trafficking is among the most heinous crimes the FBI encoun ters,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “Unfortunately, such crimes— against both adults and children—are far more common than most people realize. As we did in this operation, the FBI and our partners will continue to find and arrest traffickers, identify and help victims, and raise awareness of the exploitation of our most vulnerable populations.”

As of now, Milton makes no pay ments to Alpharetta to subsidize its youth sports, Alpharetta Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard said.While there are no active transac tions between the cities for sports, Milton City Council approved two memorandums last year which waive non-resident fees for those in Al pharetta who wish to participate in Milton lacrosse and football. Both are applicable to the Cox Road facility. Alpharetta created a similar arrange ment, whereb the city waives fees for Milton residents who wish to partici pate in its softball programming. Though there are no plans for Al pharetta’s softball program to use the facility, it could happen eventually, McKlveen said. The Cox Road Athletic Complex will provide more flexibility and opportuni ties for expansion to those subject to the memorandums as well as other cities, groups or non-government or ganizations that may want to rent the fields, he said. Since passing the $25 million Greenspace Bond in 2016, Milton has worked toward acquiring land for parks, trails and greenspace including conservation land, wildlife habitat and natural areas.
In the past, Milton and Alpharetta participated in joint programming. In 2018, the last year of the agree ment, Milton residents accounted for 14,300 registrations for Alpharettabased recreation programs. Only 413 Alpharetta residents participated in Milton-based park programs. During that same year, the City of Milton paid Alpharetta $453,100 in fees.
“The fields will look terrific yearround,” he McKlveensaid.also said that the fields wouldn’t have to be shut down for several weeks or months for grass regrowth. It’s also easier to fashion multi-sport fields with turf, such as the sewn-in lines for baseball, full-size and short field lacrosse, soccer and football. Path to independence With the introduction of the new turf complex, Milton continues its stride to greater independence for sports programming.

The city purchased the Cox Road complex in January 2020, about a year after passing its Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan. City staff developed the plan to make Milton a more attractive place to call home and to maintain its high quality of life. In the plan, staff identified a need for more athletic space. Most of the funding for Legacy Park came from impact fees, with the remainder coming from the city’s gen eralThefund.upfront cost for turf is higher than planting grass.

Natural grass calls for chemicals and mowing, while turf requires only grooming and sweeping before being turned over after 10 to 12 years. The Legacy Park name Before city ownership, a local com pany bought the Cox Road property in the early ‘80s with the intention of using it as a place for soccer prac tice. Over the years, the late longtime soccer coach Philip Broome would encourage his players to reflect on what kind of legacy they’d like to leave behind.“Legacy Park is the third park to be part of a city initiative giving citizens a leading role in selecting names that resonate with visitors, make sense for a particular space and reflect on Mil ton’s values,” Milton Communications Director Greg Botelho stated. The naming of Legacy Park followed the campaigns for Milton City Park and Preserve and Mayfield Park. Soon after the survey launched, Broome passed away suddenly. Of all words suggested by residents, “Broome” was the most repeated. The Legacy Park name was offi cially adopted at the Aug. 15 Milton City Council meeting. Council mem bers suggested that the name exclude any one individual’s name, so that the park could pay tribute to all influ ential figures — past, present and future.The newly renovated fields were named to honor Broome and oth ers who left a positive impact on the community, like NFL-player-turnedMilton-resident, inspiring coach and leader Tim Lester; coach, teacher and longtime Milton Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) member Ron Hill; and Van Kottis, another PRAB member who was instrumental in Mil ton Steelers football and the of Bell Memorial Park.

By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Members of the Milton Election Feasibility Committee faced criticism for alleged partisanship at their Aug. 22 meeting. During public comment, several res idents came forth calling for a system of checks and balances within the com mittee. While Milton municipal elections themselves are nonpartisan, residents implied underlying partisanship among the committee members appointed to study how the city can operate its own election.Over the past few months, the sixperson committee has met to research information on the feasibility of Milton running its own municipal elections. The committee was formalized in April 2022 after close to two dozen residents petitioned the Milton City Council last November to fire Fulton County from running the city’s municipal elections, citing integrity concerns and costs to taxpayers.Atthecommittee’s Aug. 3 meet ing, overseers from Peachtree Corners presented information on what it’s like to run a municipal election. Peachtree Corners spent $50,687 for its November 2021 municipal general election. Milton paid Fulton County $84,671 to run its 2021 municipal general election. It paid the county another $70,368 to conduct a runoff election in late November, according to the con tract agreement.
Resident Anthia Carter also con veyed her skepticism over the commit tee’s“Whatintentions.Iamhoping is that this is not a partisan, political move seeping into our nice, small town,” she said. “What it really is is that last ditch attempt to throw everything at the wall, to tilt turnout. It’s not fair.”

resident Donna Johnson said that after writing a letter to Mayor Pey ton Jamison and speaking with council members, she thought it important to go “on the record” at the meeting about her“Iconcerns.wishthis committee would have been more of a bipartisan committee,” Johnson said. “Most of us know where most of you on this committee stand.”
During her remarks, Milton resident Deborah Jones highlighted the overall lack of trust in Fulton County by ex pressing disappointment in committee member Mark Amick’s past actions.
AMBER PERRY/APPEN MEDIA Milton resident Anthia Carter speaks Aug. 22 of her concerns that partisanship on the Milton Election Feasibility Committee could pose a threat to democracy.

With this option, they would still be able to install multi-use paths, but impacts on other areas of the streetscape would be much more pronounced.AfterZiegler’s presentation, council members shared their thoughts on the project design, many voicing their sup port for the four-lane design.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — With a little time, planning and money, Alpharetta’s North Point Corridor will look radically dif ferent a decade from now, according to new proposals under consideration before the City Council. Council members heard an up date Aug. 22 on plans to redesign the streetscape on North Point Parkway to de-emphasize vehicle traffic, add new bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and connect the area with the Alpha Loop and Big Creek Greenway. Tom Ziegler of Columbia Engineer ing, which is designing the project, told council members that their recommen dation is to reduce North Point Parkway from six to four travel lanes, while add ing 12 foot wide “shared use” paths on either side of the roadway. Ziegler said combined with improved bicycle and pedestrian crossings, and other amenities for non-auto-centric uses, the city could bolster local efforts to make North Point more attractive and in line with the long-range plan for the corridor.

CUMMING, Ga. — Massage is often seen as a spa ordeal, a luxury, a superfluous form of self-care. To the three owners of Sixth Sense Massage & Bodywork, mas sage therapy is health care.
“The plan of care is a map,” Bradlee said. “You can take the scenic route, or you can take direct A to B. I have some clients that are going directly from A to B, and they are seeing results.”

If Sixth Sense staff can’t come to any conclusions on their own, they refer out to other experts. After acquiring all the necessary busi ness licenses in late July of this year, Sixth Sense officially opened Aug. 1. The owners obtained required licensing by July 17, to be exact, which is a special date for Bradlee. Last year, coincidentally on the same day, he ran a poll on differ ent logo options. The year before that he, also coincidentally, ran a poll on business names. Sixth Sense has been in the works for a while. “I feel like everything aligns whenever it’s supposed to,” Bradlee said. Things fell into place, but not without what seemed to be an uphill battle for Sixth Sense, whether that was funding, an abundance of red tape or misconceptions about massage therapy.

Identifier Numbers (NPI) since 2007, a number that allows health care providers to receive insurance payments, thus open ing the door for more clients.
Yet, there’s still grief. “Right now, there’s a very small num ber of insurance companies that actually view massage therapy as a medical prac tice,” Kevin said. Even with NPIs, Sixth Sense is fighting hard for clients to eventually use insur ance as payment. At Sixth Sense, massage therapy is more than just massage itself. Staff incor porates other strategies to expand means of care, which involves the initial in-depth conversation, assessment, plan of care and reassessments after each session. On average, the plan of care will contain 5-7 sessions. But that range could be more or less, depending on the individual.
“Some just need to come in and de compress,” he said. “Then there’s other times when I have clients that talk to relax.”With some clients, conversation is necessary for more “involved” therapeu tic work, he said. With this kind of work, therapists will place their hands some where on the body and ask the client how the placement feels.

“It’s lovely to be in an environment where it does feel incredibly medical and physical therapy-ish,” she said. “But at the same time, you’re still getting a mas sage. It’s really the best of both worlds.”

“I will have clients do breathing with me to get them into more of a meditative state,” Howell said. “That alone can just let the whole body kind of relax. You can get into really deep tissues that way.” Each therapist has their own strengths, whether it be Bradlee’s focus on intuition and the spiritual, energetic underpinnings of massage, Kevin’s prefer ence for deep tissue work and increas ing range of motion or Howell’s knack for tailoring to clients, using knowledge developed over her eight years of massage therapy experience. But Bradlee stressed Sixth Sense as a collective“Whenevermind.you get one therapist here, you don’t get one therapist — you get all of them.”Sixth Sense staff are always learning from each other, bouncing off ideas, but also actively seeking knowledge elsewhere to hone their craft.

Though expertise and intuition facili tate healing at Sixth Sense, passion for the work is foundational.

Glass recycling solution
AppenMedia.com/Milton | Milton Herald | September 1, 2022 | 11NEWS is here, it’s not elsewhere. And it was doneButthoughtfully.”severalcouncil members said they were concerned that a four-lane version of the roadway wouldn’t handle traffic in the area, if demand exceeded what Columbia Engineering has pro jected for the next 20 years. “To me, that math doesn’t work,” Councilman Brian Will said. “I trust you, you’re the expert, but I don’t see those numbers work.”
Ziegler estimated that the four-lane option will cost roughly $35 million to complete. The other six-lane option would come in at about $45 million, he said.Alpharetta Community Develop ment Director Kathi Cook said the city has about $15 million in grant and TSPLOST funding for the project. But she said they still have $25 million in grant funding that hasn’t been awarded yet.Ziegler said the project could be completed in two phases, to cut the funding initially needed in half. Con struction on the two phases would be split in half at Encore Parkway and the city could chose to start at either Mansell Road or Haynes Bridge Road to begin Phase 1. Cook said that they could also fund the project through private development and impact fee credits, like what was done with the Alpha Loop project. But to get to the point where that’s possible, she said they would need to progress the project designs through several more phases and adopt a specific plan. No vote was taken on the matter.
“The hopper is going to be unat tended. It’s an honesty policy,” he said. “But there will be a license plate reader and camera so we can monitor that and make sure that people are utilizing the facility properly.”
The contracts, according to Al pharetta Director of Public Works Pete Sewczwicz, will redesign the two parks, adding trail systems, park facilities, amenities and parking to the projects.
Old Rucker Park will be designed by Columbia Engineering at a cost of $357,900. The design process will take approximately one year.
Union Hill Park’s redesign was awarded to Dix.Hite Partners for $336,500. Sewczwicz said the design process for Union Hill Park will also take about one year.

Also at the meeting, Councilman Doug DeRito reported on the city’s con tinuing efforts to offer glass recycling. DeRito said that after talks with city staff, they decided to install a selfservice, glass recycling hopper at the Alpharetta Public Works Facility off Hembree Road. The recycling hopper would be open to all city residents and would be emp tied twice a week by city employees.

Park design services Council members also awarded two design contracts for upcoming rede velopment projects at Old Rucker Park and Union Hill Park.
The project would cost about $15,000 a year for Republic Services to dispose of the glass, plus a one-time fee of $2,000 to purchase the recycling hopper.“This is probably the most cost-effi cient glass recycling program that the city could have,” DeRito said. No vote was taken on this project.
“We’ve had so many new members of all different ages and interests join since I started, and it’s really interesting to see them all come together in this one club because we are like a family,” Moon said. “We all support each other.”
“So, while other sports require close contact and you might be scared of doing the sport during the pandemic, I think fencing provides such a good alternative for exercise, and it’s a very clean environ ment that we keep here,” Jeannie said.
Olympic Fencers Club offers a free beginner class every Friday for all ages, starting at 5 years old. After that, students can join either the beginners class, kids class, or teen and adult class. Rates range from $150 a month for one class a week to $220 a month for unlimited classes, plus a one-time registration fee of $49. Equip ment is available to rent.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The students at Olympic Fencers Club say what keeps them practicing the sport is the fun com munity around them. But, working with Olympians and win ning regional and national championships helpsFencingtoo. is a sport derived from duel ing, played by two opponents on a strip or ‘piste’ 2 meters by 12 meters long. The goal is to score ‘hits’ or ‘touches’ on an opponent. The first player to score a given number of hits – usually between five and 15 – wins the bout. The three disciplines in modern fencing are foil, épée and sabre. In 2010, coaches Henry Jung and An nie Lee opened Olympic Fencers Club on Medlock Bridge Road in Johns Creek after moving to the U.S. from Korea five years earlier. Since then, it has been ranked the No. 1 club in the U.S. Fencing: Georgia Division for seven consecutive years. It has approximately 220 students. Back in Korea, Jung and Annie met while competing on teams at the Korean National Sports University. Jung was a swimmer and Annie a fencer. Annie’s fa ther, Kun Bae Lee, was a professor at the school and served as the head coach for the Korean national fencing team for 15 years. He has received numerous awards over the years for his critical role in the development of Korean style fencing. In fact, Korea has grown into a fencing powerhouse, having won five gold medals, three silver and eight bronze in Olympic fencing. It is tied with China as the Asian country with the most gold medals. Kung Bae and Korean Olympic fencers visit Olympic Fencers Club throughout the year to work with the students, which they say is an invaluable experience.

[Fencing is] like chess. We need to focus more than 100 percent, and that is very tiring, but it’s a good feeling.”
“I’m a sportsman,” Jung said. “I love this sport. Before I started fencing, I loved to swim and ski, but fencing is totally different. Swimming is just to try to break my own record. I’m fighting with myself. With fencing, I need a partner and every single opponent is different, so I need a new plan. It’s like chess. We need to focus more than 100 percent, and that is very tiring, but it’s a good feeling.” His students agree. Nicole Moon, a junior at Lambert High School, started fencing in middle school, because she saw the sport on a TV show, and it captured her interest. This year, she is co-captain of her school’s team. How ever, she said last year was the first time both the women’s and men’s teams at
because it is the easiest for volunteers to referee, and it is what’s mostly offered at the local high schools.

Aton said he loves that fencing is one of the few sports that parents can do with their kids. He said another thing he enjoys is that they can be within 6 to 8 feet of “all the action” at tournaments. Plus, he said, it’s a great form of exercise.
Lambert High won gold, which was a huge accomplishment. She said she owes it all to her coaches, Jung and Annie.
While Jung didn’t start out as a fencer, he said he learned from his father-inlaw. In 2013, when he began teaching, he honed his skills by practicing with his students. Jung and Annie have coached at Lambert, South Forsyth and Peachtree Ridge high schools and continue to coach at Mill Creek, Denmark and Alpharetta highJungschools.said there are two high school leagues in Georgia, with the Georgia High School Fencing League the most popu lar in Fulton County and Onguard High School Fencing League taking precedence in Gwinnett County. Many of the students who take up the sport at Olympic Fencers Club are high schoolers who are looking for one more thing to add to their resume before applying to college.
Jeannie Lee, a senior in college, started fencing when she was in high school and competed in the Junior Olympics. She said she had to stop fencing competitively because her school doesn’t offer NCAA Division 1 fencing, but she still practices at Olympic Fencers Club. “Fencing is a huge part of me now, because I have done it for a long time and it’s super fun,” Jeannie said. “Being in fencing energizes me, gives me motiva tion and allows me to just keep pushing myself. It all depends on what you want to get out of it. The coaches here will match your needs 100 percent whether you’re a beginner wanting to have fun and exercise or looking to compete.” At 69 years old, Dave Aton also takes classes at the facility. He said he was first introduced to the sport as a stu dent at Emory University. Then, in the early 2000s his son started fencing at Alpharetta High School, so he figured he should start doing it again because he was already driving him to practice.
Jung said the club closed for about three months in 2020. Until a year ago, not all of their original fencers had come back, but since November of last year, new students have continued to sign up. Jean nie added that she thinks fencing is one of the most “COVID-friendly” sports, because students wear a mask over their head and are forced to keep a distance between them and their opponent.

“During the early part of the pandemic, when the club was closed, I was just sit ting at home, not getting the same kind of exercise, and I could feel my body slowing down,” Aton said. “I felt five years older. Finally, after almost a year, when I started fencing again, it took four months of fenc ing, but I got back up to feeling normal.”

The teen and adults class practice Aug. 17 at Olympic Fencers Club on Medlock Bridge Road in Johns Creek. The facility opened in 2010 and has been ranked the No. 1 club in the U.S. Fencing: Georgia Division for seven consecutive years. It has approximately 220 students.
According to the lawsuit, the City of Roswell employs approximately 225 firefighters of various ranks and oper ates seven fire stations. It also has three battalion chiefs, with one being on duty at any given time. Misclassification The fire department’s policy and procedure manual states battalion chiefs are required to respond to emer gency calls such as all structural fires, smoke calls where smoke is visible in side a structure, gas leak calls, hazard ous material calls, bomb threat calls, and water and rope rescue calls.
While the implementation will take place over the next five years, it is set to start by hiring 21 full-time fire captains.
Vickery alleges that as battalion chief he would often perform other jobs like respond to any call in which more than one engine was sent and to all mass casualty and gunshot wound calls.The suit states Vickery often worked shifts of 24 hours, followed by 48 hours of being off duty, which is the same work schedule as all other firefighters.Vickeryclaims in the suit he was not paid any overtime for working more than 212 hours in any given 28-day work period.
AppenMedia.com/Milton | Milton Herald | September 1, 2022 | 13NEWS
The lawsuit comes just days before Chief of Administration Shane Dobson is set to join the Roswell Fire Depart ment and two months after the City Council approved funding to begin transitioning the public safety agency from part-time to full-time.
ROSWELL, Ga. — Retired Battalion Chief Edwin Vickery is suing the City of Roswell for unpaid overtime and breach of contract. In the federal lawsuit filed July 28, he alleges the city misclassified him and other battalion chiefs as overtimeexempt employees, which violates the Fair Labor Standards Act and state laws.The city filed a response Aug. 22, claiming no wrongdoing. It asks that the case be dismissed, and that Vick ery pay all of its costs and expenses of litigation.Vickery, who retired in April, started working at the Roswell Fire De partment in 2007. At one point, he also held the position of fire captain.

Former firefighters sue Roswell for overtime, breach of contract
The city also denied it treated part-time firefight ers unfairly in that case. But, in 2020, a Fulton County Superior Court judge allowed the lawsuit to be upgraded to a class action involving “all persons currently and/or for merly employed as firefighters by the Roswell Fire Department between August 29, 2011, and August 29, 2017, who worked 40 hours or more per stan dard work week and did not receive benefits provided to regular full-time employees.”
It is unclear how many former part-time firefight ers joined the class action, but in 2019, the city filed a motion in which it stated that records show Roswell employed more than 100 firefighters during that time.
It also stated that in 2000, the city converted from a system of employing mostly full-time firefight ers with some reliance on volunteers to a system of employing “a significant number” of part-time firefighters who are not entitled to the same benefits as those who are full-time to cut approximately $8 million from its budget.

He states that had the city not misclassified Vickery, his overtime pay would have been reflected in his W-2 forms for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Vickery states that while he was still with the Fire Department, there was a policy that both exempt and non-exempt firefighters could accrue paid time off each pay period and that it would be paid out upon their separation from employment. There was also a policy, he states, that employees would be compen sated for holidays regardless of whether they worked the Vickeryholiday.states the city has only paid him a por tion of his accrued PTO and refused to pay the rest. Additionally, he claims that in January, Fire Chief Joe Pennino unilaterally eliminated holiday pay for battalion chiefs, including all accrued holiday pay/ leaveVickerytime. states accrual of this type of leave had been awarded since September 2010. Before he re tired, he was earning approximately $47.22 per hour.
A trial for the case is set to start in December.
“This event helps kick off the start of our fall youth baseball season and is a great way for kids to get ex cited about the game of baseball,” Johns Creek Recre ation Manager Kirk Franz said. “Getting the chance to hit off a former Atlanta Braves player is a cool experi ence that many won’t forget.”
Johns Creek first introduced the event in 2016 after having learned about it through the U.S. Con ference of Mayors. The city added it to the recreation schedule to celebrate baseball and softball as a youth activity. The youth baseball program is run by vol unteers of the Ocee Park Athletic Association (OPAA). Assisting with each of the exercises and activities are current baseball players from Chattahoochee High School.Play Ball is a collaborative initiative between Major League Baseball and USA Baseball focused on expos ing children to baseball and softball while providing a way to remain active during the summer. Play Ball also hosts educational online resources for coaches, umpires, parents and players. To learn more about the organization, visit their website at www.playball.org.
“In reliance upon the express written terms of the Compensatory Time Policy, Plaintiff (Vickery) saved his accrued PTO and Holiday leave rather than use it in an effort to maximize his payout upon his retirement,” the lawsuit states. “Plaintiff would have used and would not have saved his accrued PTO and Holiday leave had he known Defendant would refuse to pay him for these hours.”
Benefits include holiday pay, paid time off, paid sick leave and certain retirement benefits. The notice
Breach of contract In addition to his claims related to the Fair Labor Standards Act, Vickery raises a breach of contract claim related to employee benefits he says he should have received at the time of his retirement.
Vickery’s allegations relative to the payment of accrued PTO do not fall under the Fair Labor Stan dards Act, because it does not require employers to provide employees with any paid time off. However, state law may require an employer to compensate an employee for accrued paid leave at the time of separation.
“We’ve had nothing but positive feedback from this event in previous years,” Franz said. “And with our hometown Atlanta Braves playing well and fighting to win the division, our baseball community has a lot to be excited about.”
Vickery states the amount of pension he is allegedly owed is based in part on the highest 36 month’s pay over a seven-year period.
This year was no different with dozens of children in attendance showing up to participate. Ocee Park is located on 10900 Buice Road. To learn more about the event, contact Franz at kirk.franz@johnnscreek. ga.gov or call 678-512-3261. For upcoming local events, visit www.johnscreek.ga.gov.

This was followed by a quick whiffle ball game, with each participant offered the chance to hit a ball pitched by Harper himself. Each child also received a free T-shirt and a goodie bag filled with treats and baseball cards.

The case continues to make its way through the court. There are several hearings scheduled from now and October that seem to indicate the city “lost data” that could have been relevant to the case, ac cording to court records.

Throughout 2021 home remodeling seemed virtually unaffected by the Covid pandemic. Home sales continue to be robust, but the pace of home remodel ing is even greater. New home buyers tend to remodel as soon as they move into their new home, but the remodeling craze seems to apply to everyone. “Our Kitchen and Bathroom remodeling busi ness has experienced a 75% year over year increase” says John Hogan, presi dent of Remodeling Expo Center, “and we don’t see any slowdown in sight”. There’s been a rapid change to sup ply chains in our entire economy and while some businesses are suffering, others are prospering. Demand for prod ucts and services are at record levels and businesses are required to re-think their supply chain from end to end; those businesses that creatively maneu ver around the supply chain issues are prospering.“Lastyear we re-focused all of our purchasing to those suppliers with lo cal inventory, so we get instant access to products, then we diverted custom built products to smaller, more nimble suppliers, and finally we began to inventory some items so our remodel ing jobs could get started faster and eliminate job progress interruptions. These changes weren’t easy but without them we couldn’t be in the hyper-growth mode that we’re presently experienc ing, says Bobbie Kohm, Vice President of Remodeling Expo Center, “Turnkey Design-Build companies, like us, keep the process very simple”. Low interest rates are going to be around for a long time and investment in our homes is likely to continue. For more information on Remodeling Expo Center (RemodelingExpo.com), contact them at their showroom at 48 King Street in Roswell or at 404-910-3969. Can the pace of home remodeling continue?

1. Declutter.
4. Incorporate hooks and baskets. Utilizing wall space and small stuff sorters is key to keeping track of little things that tend to fall through the cracks. Especially useful in mudrooms and drop zones for coats, keys and house slippers, they also work well in the garage for tools and outdoor equipment.

Johns Creek proposes clinician
The Forsyth County Sheriff Office’s Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) assists the Cumming Police De partment when needed.
Officers also have access to Mobile Crisis Services, a program available at all hours administered through the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities.
In the past, CIRT worked with those in crisis to schedule appointments for services, coordinated with local non profits for food and clothing. Team members even drove them to appoint ments and resource providers, sheriff’s officialsCIRTsaid.also trains deputies how to respond to mental illness in the com munity.“This has raised the agency’s pro ficiency level as a whole,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote in an email. It said it has seen a reduction in cer tain categories of mental health flagged inmates by half.
The Sheriff Office team has one fulltime clinician, Josh Bell, a certified peer specialist. Bell helps review incident reports from the previous night to look for calls that may require a follow-up by CIRT. The team conducts follow-ups as needed or requested and responds to calls for service as they occur in the community.Established in 2020, Forsyth County’s CIRT operates as a dayshift, Monday through Friday resource. The Sheriff’s Office received a Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance to help launch the program.
The Sheriff’s Office partnered with its local community service board, Avita Community Partners, to pair a licensed clinical social worker and certified peer specialist with a specially trained sher iff’sThedeputy.idea behind the program is that the Crisis Intervention Response Team can have meaningful conversations to learn the root cause of the incident, looking for unmet needs and gaps in services, sheriff’s officials said. If the call results in an involuntary treatment, CIRT is responsible for a follow-up to talk with subjects about any additional resources that may be needed.
With a part-time mental health ad vocate already on staff, the Johns Creek Police Department is looking to hire a full-time clinician.
“He’s homeless, he’s got some men tal health issues, and we have had very little ability to get him the true help that he needs,” Cheek said. “There have been a few times in the past where we have been forced to arrest him because we just really couldn’t avoid it.”
Officer training Alpharetta Police Public Informa tion Officer David Freeman said the department has been researching all aspects of a new co-responder program. While the department doesn’t have a co-responder team, Freeman said that over 40 percent of the force are Crisis Intervention Team trained and that the number continues to grow.
“Onefollow-up.ofMeagan’s big responsibilities in these follow-ups is to prevent people from being re-offended and get them the best possible help that we can get,” Cheek said. Realization and possibilities Other north metro cities have coresponder programs in place or are well on their way to implementing one. Still others have had preliminary discus sions about enacting a similar initiative.
The advocate has been with the de partment for a little over a year, Johns Creek Officer Robert Hall said. The advocate, a former minister, primarily works with people who have made sui cidal threats to connect them to coun seling services, Hall said.
Johns Creek Police used to have a part-time clinician. In 2020, the city approved a part nership with Behavioral Healthcare Link to provide the part-time clinician to work alongside Johns Creek police. The partnership formed the Clinician Officer Response Team. But, because Behavioral Healthcare Link was expe riencing staffing issues, the clinician was frequently in and out of the office, according to statements provided in the 2023 budget draft.
Milton Police Chief Rich Austin stat ed he’s used the program for a hand ful of mental health-related calls. But, he said that the program isn’t a viable option for immediate safety concerns because its average response time is within an hour.
FILE PHOTO Milton Police Chief Rich Austin said that the department is considering the Johns Creek’s Clinician and Officer Response Team model. more times than they can count.
“It’s like leading a horse to water,” he said. “They can drink it, or you know…”

In May, the Dunwoody City Council approved the co-responder contract with View Point Health to hire Wynn, who is on-call for incidents involving behavioral health crises. The contract is funded by American Rescue Act II funds for up to three years. The co-responder team is one of several Police-Mental Health Collabora tion programs. The model combines the knowledge of trained police officers and mental health professionals to more effectively respond to behavioral health crises, according to the U.S. Bureau of JusticeWynnAssistance.saidmost of her work con cerns
Meanwhile in Sandy Springs, police spokesman Sgt. Matthew McGinnis said the department hasn’t found the right partnership for a co-responder team. But, it is researching different ap proaches, he said. If co-responder teams haven’t been established, police can use Georgia’s new Mental Health Parity Act that went into effect July 1. The act allows officers to take people into protective custody for a mental health evaluation without the need for criminal charges. Before the act was passed, officers couldn’t take people into treatment without some violation of the law.
The proposed full-time role will exist to act as a liaison between the city and various social service agencies, provid ing follow-up and monitoring of cases upon request from department mem bers or from cases referred to police from other sources, according to the budgetFundingdraft.for the full-time position would come from the city’s general fund. Hall said government grants often require audits, whereas a direct hire doesn’t.TheCity Council will consider the budget for adoption on Sept. 12.
While officers were attempting to talk to him, the man couldn’t be con vinced to get the help he needed until Wynn showed up at the scene.
When asked if he sees a co-respond er team as a long-term preventative measure, Hall said the co-responder team can only do so much.
The Milton Police Department has discussed Johns Creek Police’s Cli nician and Officer Response Team program as a possible model to pursue, Austin said.

Amick was subpoenaed in June as part of a Fulton County investigation into Republican attempts to overturn the 2020Afterelection.public comment concluded, committee member and Milton City Councilman Rick Mohrig countered the accusations, saying municipal elections are a nonpartisan issue.
Other committee members have alluded to trust and integrity issues throughout the meetings. Not only has integrity been a con sistent talking point, but the report template created by panel member and Assistant City Manager Stacey Inglis cites election integrity as an issue to be reconciled through the committee. The template consists of the com mittee’s objective, approach, options (electronic versus paper ballot voting), financial considerations, operational practicality, risk/reward, cost-benefit analysis and recommendation. Panel members identified three re wards. First was the city’s potential for saving money; second was the city hav ing control over its own process; third was accuracy and integrity of voting. Panel member Lisa Cauley spoke at length about potential voter disenfran chisement as a risk.
