Fulton County drops resolution to pull Cheeley from CID board By SHELBY ISRAEL shelby@appenmedia.com
CITY OF MILTON/PROVIDED
Milton City Councilwoman Carol Cookerly and inductees Les Kuykendall, Dylan Cease, Korinne Raby Muller, Bridget Deehan and Kyle Farnsworth gather for the unveiling of this year’s Wall of Fame additions.
City adds five names to Wall of Fame MILTON, Ga. — This year, five individuals were inducted into Milton’s Wall of Fame, a recognition of athletes, performers, coaches and contributors who got their start or made their mark in the city. Scores of people attended the ceremony at Bell Memorial Park Oct. 28, celebrating two Major Leaguers, softball and lacrosse standouts, and an impactful coach. The five inductees: • Dylan Cease is a Milton product who, after being drafted 169th overall in the 2014 pro baseball draft, ended up breaking into the Major Leagues five years later with the Chicago White Sox. Cease has been one of the best pitchers, not just for the White Sox, but in all professional baseball in recent years. He
finished second in the 2022 American League Cy Young voting after sporting a 2.20 earned run average, or ERA, with 14 wins and 227 strikeouts. • Bridget Deehan also spent lots of time at Bell Park and others around Milton, albeit on different shaped fields. She’s one of the most celebrated goalies ever in Georgia girls’ lacrosse history, having been part of three state championship teams at Milton High School plus being named High School South Player of the Year and Under Armour Senior All-American before moving on to a celebrated collegiate career at Notre Dame. • Kyle Farnsworth got his start

METRO ATLANTA — The Fulton County Board of Commissioners dropped its plans to remove Bob Cheeley as its appointee on the True North 400 board after legal staff determined the resolution had no grounds. At a Board of Commissioners meeting Nov. 1, County Attorney Y. Soo Jo said the resolution was removed because of a legal misunderstanding. “This was a resolution brought forward by Commissioner Barrett based on my initial legal advice that only one Fulton County seat was warranted on the CID under current conditions,” Jo said. “Upon realizing there was a mistake in the analysis, I reached out to Commissioner Barrett to obtain her permission to remove the item, and that is why it is being removed.” At the meeting, Commissioner Bridget Thorne read a letter written by True North 400 Executive Director and state Sen. Brandon Beach criticizing the resolution. In the letter, Beach said the effort to target Cheeley was “misguided,” and the CID board should have the chance to address its composition before the Board of Commissioners attempts to alter it. “’Innocent until proven guilty’ is a bedrock, a principle of justice, and this
applies no less to our board members,” Beach wrote in the letter. The resolution, which was shared in the agenda packet for the meeting Oct. 27, sought to remove Cheeley as one of the County Commission’s two appointees. True North 400, formerly the North Fulton Community Improvement District, is a self-taxing business district dedicated to community, transit and road improvements between Mansell and McGinnis Ferry roads. Its coverage area encompasses parts of Roswell, Milton and Alpharetta. The resolution held that because the percentage of unincorporated Fulton County land has fallen below 50, one of the county’s two appointees to the CID board, Cheeley and Al Nash, were no longer needed. “… the Board of Commissioners finds that it is in the best interest of the CID Board, Fulton County, and the general public that Mr. Al Nash continue to serve as its appointee,” the resolution read. The resolution also stated the proposed removal came after Cheeley attempted to undermine Fulton County’s elections. Cheeley was one of 19 defendants, including former President Donald Trump, who were indicted by a Fulton County grand jury in August for alleged attempts to overturn 2020 election results.

The victim, Sahr Gbonia, told police he looked out the upstairs window of the residence and noticed two males wearing black and navy-blue hoodies. Gbonia said when he went outside to say something to them, the two suspects began shooting at him. The victim later told police one bullet hit the vehicle’s tire. When a Roswell officer arrived on

Man arrested for speeding on Deerfield Parkway MILTON, Ga. — Police clocked a Duluth man speeding at 54 mph in a 35-mph zone on Deerfield Parkway Oct. 28 and later arrested him for driving with a suspended license. When police pulled the man over, they informed him he had a suspended registration due to unpaid fines on a lapse in insurance coverage. Police pulled information from the tag office showing the man had no insurance coverage, but the man provided proof of coverage active as of that day. Police also discovered the man’s license had been suspended for a failure to appear. Police placed the man under arrest and charged him with speeding, driving with a suspended license and
scene, he located Gbonia in the family’s living room with a gunshot wound to his left pectoral muscle. Officers said the though-and-through gunshot wound was sealed on the front and back by a sergeant who arrived on scene. After Gbonia was checked several times for additional injuries, officers determined he only suffered a single gunshot wound. The victim was then transported to North Fulton Hospital by American Medical Response. While at the hospital, Gbonia told police he did not see the faces of the unidentified males or the make and model of the firearm. Gbonia said all he remembered was
seeing the muzzle flash and hearing three gunshots. Police also spoke to the victim’s parents, Bakary Fofana and Mariana Sesay. Both Fofana and Sesay said they did not hear or see any suspects. While Sesay was able to provide police with Ring footage showing the aftermath of the shooting, the footage did not capture the moment Gbonia was shot. Roswell Police taped off the crime scene and conducted a sweep of the apartment. After determining the residence was clear, officers from Roswell, Alpharetta and Johns Creek began to search the

Business owner duped by equipment provider MILTON, Ga. — A Milton woman reported to police Oct. 25 that upon returning credit card equipment for her business, she realized it had incorrect serial numbers confirmed by a forged signature. She told police she suspects a Roswell man, who activated the equipment in her business, was responsible for writing the incorrect serial numbers as a means to place her in a perpetual renewing leasing agreement for the equipment. The woman said was unable to return the equipment she had initially signed for because she never received it, according to the police report. She told police she was supposed to receive two card readers but instead received a card reader and a printer. Because the items cannot be returned, the woman said her lease can be automatically renewed after her

Construction group racks up thousands in property damage MILTON, Ga. — A construction worker reported to police Oct. 26 thousands of dollars in damages to his company’s property on South Main Street. The man told police when he arrived at the site that morning, he noticed a broken window that he said would cost $3,000 to replace. Police saw a cement block and broken glass next to the window, as if someone had thrown it at the window, according to the incident report. The man also showed police a dark stain that had been splashed onto a white exterior wall, to cost $1,000 to remove, as well as a dented elevator door that he said would cost $25,000 to replace. According to the report, police did not find any evidence that would help identify possible suspects for the property damage.

CUMMING, Ga. — Hundreds of awardwinners filled the Forsyth Conference Center at Lanier Technical College Oct. 26 for their turn to walk down the red carpet and receive their honors at Appen Media Group’s 2023 Best of North Atlanta Awards Gala. The black-tie gala celebrates the honorees of the Best of North Atlanta contest, chosen by the public. The North Atlanta community has a month to nominate businesses for each category — Food & Beverage, Retail, Recreation, Medical, Services and People & Community. Following the nomination period, the North Atlanta community has a one-month window to vote. The top two vote-getters in each category receive a certificate, window cling and bragging rights in their community. With more than 500 guests, the event featured live music from Grammy-nominated composer John Burke, dinner and dessert from A&S Culinary Concepts and Nothing Bundt Cakes and refreshments from Cork & Glass and Six Bridges Brewing. Each year, the contest becomes a little more significant and competitive. The contest received 107,000 votes from residents of Alpharetta, Forsyth County, Johns Creek, Milton and Roswell, which surpasses the record set last year. Last year, the Best of North Atlanta gala returned after a two-year hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic. Appen Media Publisher Hans Appen said he thinks the postpandemic rust has worn off the North Atlanta community. “The one thing I keep hearing over and over again is that we’re focused forward,” Appen said. “We’re looking at growth, we’re hiring new people, and we’re growing our products.” Before the awards show, gala attendees and award-winners shared their story and gratitude for recognition. First-time winner Neryk Zavulunov won first runner-up the past two years for Best Barber Shop in North Atlanta. Zavulunov opened Jack and Sons Barber Shop’s Roswell location in 2010. He now has two more locations in Johns Creek and Cumming. “I started the shop, but I named it after my pops,” Zavulunov said. “He still works with me at all the locations.” If old school vibes, top tier services and vintage barber chairs interest you, Jack and Sons Barber Shop is

Congratulations to Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta for their 6th straight win for Best Dermatologist of North Atlanta! Brought to you by - Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta In years past, I have sat down with Dr. Taylor to learn a bit more about him as a dermatologist and a Mohs surgeon. This year, with his office finishing construction, we gathered to discuss the changes Premier Dermatology has undergone and the gratitude he has for his patients. Alyssa: Hey Dr. Taylor. Wow there’s a lot going on here. It looks the same but different. I heard you had a flood? What happened and what has happened since? Dr. Taylor: Yes, we did! Well, it was Christmas Eve at 6:30pm. My family (including myself) were all in Christmas pajamas. I was picking up our traditional to go Chinese food when my wife called and said that the police had called to inform her that the motion sensors were going off in the practice. My wife and I jumped into the car, still in our Christmas pajamas and headed to the practice with police on the way. When we entered the parking lot, water was rushing out from the front doors of the bottom floor of our building. Two firemen met us at the front door and said “It’s bad.” As it turns out, all of the prepping for the cold snap that we did in our floor of the building did not prevent the sprinkler line from rupturing in the attic. The flood was extensive. Roughly 75% of our practice was damaged, leaving us to rip out and rebuild! It’s been a long, slow process, partially because so many houses and buildings experienced floods that there was a wait list for insurance claims and for every step of the demolition and reconstruction process. The Christmas Eve cold snap last year really hit us hard. Alyssa: Well, it looks beautiful again. It must be such a relief to be back in an attractive and functional space. How has working during this time been? Dr. Taylor: Honestly, it’s been fine. Not ideal but fine. My staff is amazing. Truly! They never complained. We kept everyone’s hours and we just made do with the one section of the practice that was still usable. Thank goodness my Mohs laboratory and five patient exam rooms were undamaged, so we were still able to take great care of patients. Also, my patients are truly the best! They were all so genuinely concerned for us and understanding of our situation. We live in an area where great care is abundant, and people have options in who they see for healthcare. I am so fortunate to treat kind patients who gave us grace
during the flood and its aftermath. Alyssa: Do you have anything else you want to add? Dr. Taylor: Just something that I want to reiterate. I would like to say thank you to all of my patients. I am so thankful that you have confidence in me, my physician assistant Kathryn and our whole clinical team to help you stay healthy. Please know that my staff and I appreciate your trust in us. I am deeply grateful for you. We are truly honored that we can care for you and appreciative for your patience during reconstruction. And to my staff, thank you for making our great care possible. I would not have this opportunity without all of you. Alyssa: Thank you for your time, Dr. Taylor and congratulations again on winning Best Dermatologist and on having your practice back to fully usable again! Dr. Taylor: Thank you, Alyssa. At Premier Dermatology, Brent Taylor, MD, and his team offer transformative, personalized care using state-of-theart techniques. With expertise in Mohs surgery and in reconstruction after skin cancer removal, Dr. Taylor helps patients achieve cancer-free results while optimizing aesthetic outcomes. What truly sets Dr. Taylor apart as a surgeon is his commitment to addressing a patient’s skin cancer in a holistic manner. He does not consider his job complete just because a skin cancer has been successfully treated. He prides himself on following through with patients. He employs multiple technologies such as lasers and microneedling to assure that scars and reconstructive results are optimized. He helps patients explore preventative methods ranging from blue light therapy to oral medications to avoid future cancers. “Dr. Taylor doesn’t just help patients treat the skin cancer of the moment. He helps them avoid the skin cancers of tomorrow.” Dr. Taylor’s practice is a full-service dermatology clinic. Full body skin exams are available with either a male or female provider. The clinic is proud to provide a wide array of treatments for medical and cosmetic sun damage, from blue light therapy to chemical peels and laser photofacials. Aesthetic treatments include Botox®, fillers, chemical peels, sclerotherapy, Fraxel and Excel V laser and more. For exceptional care that goes beyond skin-deep, look no further than Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta.

Hydrate your way to better immunity with IV therapy Brought to you by - Hydralive Milton The modern world is full of pollutants and unhealthy habits that take a toll on our immune system. People are turning to various types of therapies to boost their immunity, and one of them is IV Therapy. IV or intravenous therapy involves infusing vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into the bloodstream through a needle, bypassing the digestive system. This method allows for faster and more efficient absorption of nutrients into the body. Hydralive Therapy Milton offers IV Therapy as part of their wellness menu and touts it as an effective way to boost immunity. The idea behind using IV Therapy to improve immunity is that it delivers a high concentration of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, which can help support the immune system and protect against illnesses. One of the key nutrients infused through IV Therapy is Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that can help
support the immune system. Studies have shown that Vitamin C can help reduce the duration and severity of the common cold, flu, and other viral infections. Another important nutrient is Zinc, which plays a vital role in the immune system and can help prevent and fight off infections. Vitamin B12, another essential nutrient, plays a critical role in maintaining healthy nerve cells and red blood cells, as well as DNA. People may have doubts about the effectiveness of IV Therapy for improving immunity. Although more research is needed in this area, studies have found that certain vitamins and minerals can help boost immunity and fight off infections. Apart from improving immunity, IV Therapy can also help with other health concerns and conditions. For example, it can help with fatigue, stress, and even hangovers. Since it bypasses the digestive system, IV Therapy can also help with nutrient absorption in people with digestive issues or malabsorption problems. IV Therapy may be an effective
PROVIDED
way to boost immunity and promote overall wellness. Hydralive Therapy Milton offers a wide range of IV Therapy infusions that can help you meet your health and wellness goals. Whether you are recovering from illness or just want to improve your overall health, IV Therapy could be a suitable option. As with any medical treatment or therapy, it is essential
to consult with a doctor before trying IV Therapy and ensure that it is a safe choice for you. Our Hydralive Milton location offers various types of IV vitamin therapies. If you have any questions, our team is happy to assist you. Please give us a call at (470) 3594815 or visit us at 12635 Crabapple Rd, STE 140 in Milton today!

If you think you or your child may be a mouth breather, it’s important to see a doctor to get diagnosed and treated. There are a few things that can be done to help mouth breathers, such as: • Treating the underlying cause: If the mouth breathing is caused by a medical condition, such as allergies or enlarged adenoids, treating that condition can help to improve mouth breathing. • Using nasal sprays or drops: Nasal sprays and drops can help to clear nasal congestion and make it easier to breathe through the nose. • Using a chin strap or mouth tape: A chin strap or mouth tape can help to keep the mouth closed at night. You can order these on Amazon! If you are a mouth breather, there several things you can do to help manage your condition, such as: • Drink plenty of water: Staying hydrated can help to keep your

Brought to you by - Dr. Destinee Hood at Roswell Dental Care Mouth breathing is a condition in which a person breathes through their mouth instead of their nose. It can be caused by several factors, including nasal congestion, allergies, and enlarged adenoids. Mouth breathing can have a number of negative consequences for your health, including: • Dry mouth: Breathing through your mouth dries out your mouth, which can lead to cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. • Poor sleep quality: Mouth breathing can disrupt sleep by causing snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. • Increased risk of infection: Breathing through your mouth can increase your risk of respiratory infections, such as the common cold and the flu. • Changes in facial structure: Mouth breathing can lead to changes in facial structure, such as a long, narrow face and an overbite. This is especially important during midface development, between ages 5-9.

The two sides of family care Brought to you by - Home Helpers of Alpharetta and North Atlanta
At Home Helpers, our focus every day is matching the right caregiver with each of our clients. We guarantee a good match. Finding the right caregiver is much more than just seeking a professional with great skills. It’s about finding a caregiver with the heart and spirit to make a difference in someone’s life.
Serving Communities North of Atlanta www.HomeHelpersHomeCare.com/Alpharetta
For a free consultation, please call 770-681-0323
Greg and Hilary Eldridge,
Owners – Home Helpers of Alpharetta Certified Senior Advisors(CSA)® Each office is independently owned and operated.
The holiday season is fast approaching, and it’s the perfect time to connect in person with those we love. As you gather around a table or enjoy family traditions with older loved ones, it’s also time to take a step back and check for signs that may raise concerns for their well-being. Watch for things outside the norm that you haven’t noticed before. Perhaps their home care and maintenance has gone downhill, you see confusion with basic tasks or signs of poor personal hygiene. A new dent or scratch on the car, unpaid bills that are piling up, things appearing in odd places, unusual behavior and spoiled food in the refrigerator all merit setting apart some time for a private conversation. Unexplained weight loss due to poor nutrition, new bruises, memory loss, changes in personality and becoming socially cut off are warning signs. One in three people over 65 suffer from loneliness or depression, and your attention to their needs can make a critical difference in their quality of life. When issues emerge, it’s time to get help. A well matched, heart centered Home Helpers Caregiver can assist with all personal care, help around the house, and provide specialized care for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Dementia care, etc. There’s another side to family care - the family caregiver who is already helping with an aging or chronically ill loved one. November is National Family
Caregivers Month, honoring the more than 1 in 5 dedicated U.S. adults who now care for a sick or elderly loved one. Over 65% of caregivers are women and average the same care hours weekly as a full-time job. Many have families and also ensure an older loved one maintains a quality of life at the expense of their own physical and mental health. Family caregivers are “the new normal” and almost 30% of caregivers have provided support for over 5 years. At Home Helpers we know how important respite care is to relieve the stress and challenges a family caregiver experiences. It’s important to give a caregiver a break. Whether it’s time to exercise, shop, sleep or get a haircut, there needs to be a plan for some private time. Daily stress, depression, insufficient sleep when a loved one is active at night and burnout all are common problems that threaten the well-being of not just the family caregiver, but the loved one they support. A few days a week or overnight assistance from a skilled Home Helpers Caregiver helps restore energy and maintain much needed balance. In-home professional care can provide peace of mind and ensure the family caregiver and older loved one in your family can enjoy life to its fullest. For a free consultation and exceptional care management by a team with depth and skill from six hours a day, several days a week to 24/7 and live-in care, please call Home Helpers of Alpharetta and North Atlanta Suburbs at (770) 681-0323.

Honey, I shrunk the surgery Brought to you by - Dr. Scott Miller, urologist at Wellstar Health System and medical director of robotic surgery at Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center Recent advances in medicine have brought treatments once only thought possible in the movies. But high-tech treatments aren’t just for Hollywood—Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center offers groundbreaking care here in the community. While we may not be shrinking our physicians, medical innovation has brought smaller and less invasive technology to most specialties. The latest techniques allow complex treatments to be performed through small incisions—and sometimes no incision at all. MILLER
Robotic surgery Over the last 20 years, robotic surgery has replaced most largeincision surgeries with 3 to 6 finger-size incisions—one for a three-dimensional telescope and the others for thin surgical instruments. Now, Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center takes it to the next level with the new single-port robotic system, allowing surgeons to place a scope and all the instruments through a single 1-inch incision. Since the instruments are now flexible, the surgeon can access difficult-to-reach anatomy for better patient outcomes and quicker recovery. Precision radiotherapy for prostate cancer Whether treating the entire prostate or a pea-size nodule that has spread to another location, CyberKnife radiotherapy can deliver a pencilthin beam with real-time adjustments for breathing movements. When
the cancer cells are not visible on imaging, radiopharmaceuticals come to the rescue. For this groundbreaking treatment, an intravenous injection of a biochemical substance seeks out the cancer cells and delivers a dose of radiation like a guided missile hits its target. Neurosurgery As one of a few comprehensive stroke centers in Metro Atlanta, our hospital excels in endoscopic brain surgeries through a small opening, allowing for life-saving removal of intracranial blood clots. The same skilled surgeons are experts at treating brain aneurysms, blood vessel blockages and brain bleeds via needle access through an artery in the leg. When every minute counts, Wellstar is always ready for action. Interventional Cardiology Our Emergency Cardiac Care Center
uses the latest angioplasty and stent placement techniques to open blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. When these arteries are severely blocked with calcium buildup, a tiny probe placed inside the blood vessel can break up the calcification with sound waves, a procedure called intravascular lithotripsy. For patients with a failing heart, our cardiologists can insert a miniaturized pump in the heart until heart health returns. In the 1966 movie “The Fantastic Voyage,” a medical team is miniaturized and injected into a patient’s body. While we may not be embarking on miniature submarines, we are venturing into the human body with incredible precision and innovation.

More than meets the teeth Brought to you by - North Fulton Smiles Many of our patients enjoy coming to see us because of the fresh, clean sensation they get after having their teeth cleaned, but going to the dentist entails more than just getting your teeth “scraped”. It is also a comprehensive oral health care experience that involves various procedures and services aimed at maintaining and improving your dental health. While getting a teeth cleaning seems like a basic procedure, there is more to a routine dental visit than just that. A trip to the dentist often starts with a comprehensive oral exam. This involves checking for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, fractures, oral cancer, and any other dental issues. We will also review one’s medical history and any past medical conditions skillfully and carefully. Our clinical team is highly trained and knowledgeable and uses scans and x-rays judiciously to get an in depth look at the teeth, gums, and jawbone structure to be able to properly assess. Regular dental checkups are also crucial for early detection and prevention of dental issues. What is “regular” to you? Well, the ADA defines a regular routine visit as 2 times a year and 3-4 times a year for patients with periodontal disease. An important and fun part of our
routine visits is how much we enjoy catching up with all of our patients and connecting on a personal level. Establishing that personal connection with one’s healthcare provider in fact elevates ones response to treatment, and instills a greater sense of well—being. We take the opportunity to educate and reinforce proper dental habits, diet and preventative techniques, and to recommend suitable oral care products. Dr. Bhat is able to skillfully diagnose potential problems before they become a major concern. By catching these problems early on, we can provide proper treatment and prevent further damage to your oral health. Poor oral health has been linked to various systemic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Regular dental checkups can help manage these conditions, as Dr. Bhat can notice signs or symptoms that could indicate underlying health problems. Our teeth can be a window to other health issues and during regular visits such indicators can be identified and addressed. In this manner coming to see us regularly, you are also taking care of your overall health! While that clean polished feeling of a prophylaxis cleaning feels great, rest assured that there is more than meets the eye during that visit and maintaining these visits sets one up for overall good health.
Feel good about your teeth. 2018

Supporting your child’s behavior over holiday breaks Brought to you by - Allison Bates, Staff Therapist at Summit Counseling Center As the holidays approach, parents often face the challenge of behavior regression in their children. The festive season can bring hidden stressors for kids, from the pressure of dressing up for family pictures to navigating unfamiliar social situations. Adults, caught up in holiday busyness, may have less patience. This can be confusing for young minds seeking support. Unstructured school breaks can lead to boundary testing when expectations are unclear. Establishing clear rules for activities (especially messy ones) and sticking to routines for wake-up, meals, hygiene, and bedtime provides much-needed consistency. Creating a “holiday calendar” or
discussing daily tasks can give children a sense of structure, reducing feelings of chaos and the desire to act out as a result. Furthermore, parents can lighten the mood by using humor and choosing their battles wisely. This shift in communication can transform the household atmosphere, easing potential family tensions during this special time. Lastly, planning one special event each day can be a source of anticipation and stability for kids. For a wonderful opportunity to embrace the holiday spirit while supporting a great cause, join us for our third annual Jingle Jog & Nutcracker Brunch at The Hotel at Avalon on Sunday, December 3rd from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM.

ARC seeks public input on transportation plan METRO ATLANTA — The Atlanta Regional Commission is seeking public input on an update to its Metropolitan Transportation Plan through Dec. 8. The plan will allocate $168 billion in local, state and federal funding to improve transportation and safety through 2050. The funds will finance highway and road improvements; enhance transit options; expand multi-use trails; promote alternative transportation, such as carpooling and teleworking; and will go towards maintenance and operations. Projects include the new northbound I-85 and McGinnis Ferry Road interchange in Gwinnett County; MARTA light rail service on the BeltLine; funding for Livable Centers Initiatives; the widening of Ga. 140; and the Ga. 400 express lanes project. The Atlanta Regional Commission, or ARC, is a collaborative planning
effort representing most Metro Atlanta governments. “As our region continues to grow, it’s critically important that we make the investments needed to ensure that we have a competitive economy and great quality of life in the years to come,” ARC Executive Director and CEO Anna Roach said. ARC staff projects the population in the greater 21-county Atlanta region will grow to 7.9 million by 2050. The ARC board is scheduled to adopt the plan Jan. 10. Those interested can read the plan and provide comment at atlantaregional.org/the-atlanta-regionsplan/mtp-update. The ARC will also host a virtual public hearing from 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 15.

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens sole nominee for ARC board chair “I wanted to make sure I put my Long-time leader name in the hat. It’s one of those things I know is significant,” Dickens Kerry Armstrong said. “I think having Atlanta being of the leadership of the region plans to step down part will allow for more connectivity.” By MARIA SAPORTA SaportaReport ATLANTA — It is all but certain the Atlanta Regional Commission’s next board chair will be Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens — a first for an Atlanta mayor in the history of the regional planning agency. At ARC’s Oct. 11 regular board meeting, Chair Kerry Armstrong made it clear he would not be running for another term. That paves the way for Mayor Dickens to be elected at the next ARC board meeting on Nov. 8. “I’ve been chairman for 10 years,” Armstrong said in a brief interview after the meeting when asked why he did not stand for re-election. “Ultimately, it’s time. We have an exciting candidate who is willing to do the job, and I think that’s terrific. This was never about me versus anybody or anybody versus me.” Because Dickens was the only nominee for the position, it is unlikely there will be a contested election at the next ARC board meeting scheduled for Nov. 8. The floor will be open for other nominations on that day, but beating the Atlanta mayor would be extremely difficult. The fact that Armstrong is not running averts what could have been a divisive election. Interestingly enough, when Armstrong was elected to the position in 2013, it took 14 ballots before he was declared the winner. The transition in chairmanship will occur on Jan. 1, 2024. “I always thought Atlanta operates as a region and that it’s a good thing for the Mayor of Atlanta to be attentive and participatory in ARC, which is why I went on the LINK trips and have come to the meetings,” Dickens said after the meeting. With the one exception of former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, recent Atlanta mayors have not been that engaged with the Atlanta Regional Commission. In fact, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms never attended a single ARC meeting, so she was never sworn in as a board member. Bottoms also never attended the annual LINK trips when more than 100 regional leaders visit another region to learn about best practices.
For decades, ARC’s board chairs have come from either Gwinnett or Cobb counties. All but one of ARC’s board chairs since it was formed in 1971 have been white males, mostly from suburban counties. Mayor Dickens certainly would represent a shift in regional power and leadership. Dickens said it shouldn’t be rare for the capital city in the region to have a leadership role within ARC. Because Atlanta is centrally located in the 11-county region, he said he would look to bring the region closer together by working on issues that stretch beyond the city limits. “We won’t draw a line at any border. With us in the middle, we can connect them,” Dickens said, referring to the suburban and urban counties all around Atlanta. Vince Williams, mayor of Union City, welcomed the idea of Dickens becoming ARC board chair. “I think this is an awesome opportunity, not only for the mayor of Atlanta but for the Atlanta Regional Commission,” Williams said. “To have the Atlanta mayor sitting in the chairman’s seat, who knows better about regional issues than he does?” During the meeting, Armstrong asked for nominations for board chair. Michael Caldwell, mayor of the City of Woodstock in Cherokee County, nominated Dickens. Armstrong asked Dickens if he accepted. “I do accept the nomination,” Dickens said. “Any other nominations?” Armstrong asked. “Seeing none, we will close nominations for the moment.” Armstrong, a citizen member from Gwinnett County, has served as ARC’s board chair since Jan. 1, 2014. In recent months, several ARC participants and observers mentioned that Dickens was interested in running for ARC board chair. Dickens’ nomination was championed by Robb Pitts, chair of the Fulton County Commission, the most populous county in the state. Pitts was out of town, so he was unable to attend Wednesday’s board meeting. Pitts plans to attend the November meeting. This story originally appeared on SaportaReport.com.

I was searching for something to write. When I can’t find anything, I usually go to my “column ideas” file where I randomly jot down ideas or thoughts. I just perused that file and landed on a couple maybes – “New words” and “Games
people play.” “Games people play” was my first impulse. It has so much potential. My wife plays Wordle religiously as do many of her friends. They report their daily “get” to each other in friendly competition. It is a new game and, of course, it is digital. So, that opens digital vs. analog games, such as Scrabble, Monopoly, or maybe even Risk. One could write a book or more about digital vs. analog games, I think. Growing up, we had mighty wars playing Risk – wars as in someone getting mad and flipping the board over and storming out of the room. In high school, we played Risk every afternoon obsessively. That too was never pretty. My wife Christina usually warns everyone tempted to participate in a Risk game to avoid playing with any Appen. Before I started writing “Games people play” I glanced at “New words,” and, well, it was just too tempting to pass up. I love the “New words” because it is sort of counter-intuitive and fun. It is counter-intuitive because one generally, I think, considers our English language as static. Yes, it changes over time, and yes, new words get added occasionally. But, I think our default thinking leans more toward “static.” Not. Merriam-Webster added 690 new words to the dictionary, just for September 2023. That is what I saw when I went to their website, followed by this caveat – “Ngl, this update is a big one.” Seriously? Bueller? What the heck does “Ngl” mean, and tell me again, who gets to pick what new words are okay to add to “English” and why does Merriam or Webster think that they are the chosen peeps to do that? I was going to make this a game where I write the new words and the definitions – all jumbled up – and you try to correctly match them. But, that was nixed as too confusing. So, instead, I am just giving you a taste of the new words that were added last month and their definitions – not jumbled up. But, if you want to, you could email me and tell me if you would
have wanted to do this as a game to win Appen bling sometime in the future – the word game! My email is RayAppen@ Gmail.com. In the subject line just put “word game.” Anyway, here you go: A. meatspace (noun) the physical world and environment especially as contrasted with the virtual world of cyberspace B. sponcon (noun) content ... posted usually by an influencer on social media that looks like a typical post but for which the poster has been paid to advertise a product or service C. lewk (noun) a fashion look ... that is distinctive to the wearer and that is noticeable and memorable to others D. MacGyver (verb) to make, form, or repair (something) with what is conveniently on hand.” E. bussin’ (adjective) African American English slang: extremely good: excellent; especially: delicious, tasty F. cromulent (adjective) informal + humorous: acceptable, satisfactory G. thirst trap (noun) a photograph, such as a selfie, or video shared for the purpose of attracting attention or desire H. emping (noun) a slightly bitter cracker or chip popular in Indonesia that is made from the dried flattened seed of a melinjo tree (Gnetum gnemon) I. kayfabe (noun) the tacit agreement between professional wrestlers and their fans to pretend that overtly staged wrestling events, stories, characters, etc. J. padawan (noun) a young person especially when regarded as naïve, inexperienced, etc. Extra credit: Get two points for each correct each word, or abbreviation, you can correctly define. NGL (abbreviation, informal) not gonna lie; not going to lie TFW (abbreviation, informal) that feeling when — used especially on social media or in text messages to introduce a relatable scenario or an image that evokes a specific feeling I probably would have gotten maybe three of 10. How about you? Should we do the word game for Appen bling in the future? Let me know.

Bob Burgess holds up two items for sale in his store to demonstrate the wide range of products, skis and a woman’s dress. Like his father before him, Bob obtained his merchandise throughout the south from bankrupt retailers, going out of business sales and factory closeouts. His mainstays were women’s clothing and shoes, but these skis sold quickly too.

Alpharetta Bargain Store a penny-pincher’s dream Someone once said that a person can never be so rich that he would not bend over to pick up a stray nickel on the sidewalk. Rich or poor, everyone loves a bargain, and in the 1950s and 1960s the BOB MEYERS Alpharetta Bargain Columnist Store was the place for serious bargain hunting. People came to shop from all the surrounding areas including Tony Buckhead and eventually every state in the Union was represented. Located in downtown Alpharetta, in time the store occupied 16,000 square feet of selling space and 6000 square feet of warehouse. Both store and warehouse were located on the block west of Main Street, between Marietta Street and Old Milton Parkway. The store was founded by Buck Burgess (1916-1990) and his brotherin-law Nolan Stephens. It was the result of a mishap in 1951 when Buck was working as a diesel mechanic for Fulton County. A workplace accident left Buck with a broken back, surgery and restrictions on future physical labor. He took a job at Lockheed Georgia that did not require heavy lifting. In 1954 Buck and Nolan formed a partnership and leased the Standard Oil gas station from Roy Day at 53 South Main Street where California Closets and All Fired Up
Pottery are located today. In 1956 they opened a second independent gas station on the west side of South Main Street just south of Marietta Street. Shortly thereafter the army surplus store was added adjacent to the gas station. (Today Chevron owns the Standard name.) When their lease on the Standard station expired five years later in 1959 they built a full service Shell station on South Main Street across the street from the very small 30’ x 30’ they had opened in 1959. Buck and Nolan traveled throughout eight southeastern states in search of merchandise for their store, seeking stock from bankrupt retailers, going out of business sales and occasionally from factory closeouts. They carried a lot of cash because the sellers usually needed the money right away. Long hours and a lot of haggling were involved, and they loaded the merchandise in their car to take back to Alpharetta. Business was very good. It did not take Buck long to realize that selling bargain priced women’s clothing was much more profitable than running a service station. After a couple of years, he leased out the service station, and he and his partner devoted themselves to running the store which was incorporated as the Alpharetta Bargain Store in 1962. Over time the business grew in sales and physical size as adjacent properties and a warehouse were added.

GARDEN BUZZ
Decorating your home for the holidays
As Thanksgiving and Christmas are approaching, I begin to plan my holiday decorations. And that means going out and collecting greenery and other natural materials for table and mantle BY JUDY PEACOCK my arrangements. Guest Columnist I love using the differently colored fall leaves and seed pods for my Thanksgiving table. The beautiful reds, yellows and oranges of the fall leaves combined with brown seed pods make the perfect arrangement. I like to start by layering branches of color until I have a pleasing shape that will compliment my chosen container. Then, I will begin to add seed pods, grasses, rose hips and some inexpensive grocery store mums to complete the task. The photo example was a demonstration of that process at Farm Chastain that I was later able to use on my own Thanksgiving table. At the beginning of December, I go out in my yard and the nearby woods to collect as many different evergreens as I can find along with interesting branches and berries to use for my holiday decorations. I love decorating my mailbox and have a special plastic frame that holds wet foam that I wire to the top of the box to hold my holiday greenery. Again, the process is to gradually build up layers of the various evergreens. I usually begin with Hemlock because of the way it will drape over the sides of the mailbox. I will also use various shiny leaves, such as holly and aucuba. After the green base covers the mailbox, I will begin to add various berries and finish with a bow. Because of the wet foam, the arrangement usually will last the whole month of December. If the weather is dry, I will simply pour water over it to keep it moist. My mantle decoration has been consistent through the years. Many years ago, I purchased two baskets shaped like ginger jars at the Lenox Square World Bazaar. I raise these basket containers on carved wooden stands to give them more presence and then begin. I create the two arrangements simultaneously directly on the mantle. Because only the front and sides of these arrangements are seen, I can use the wall that backs them to help hold the large branches of evergreen in place. And so, I begin by adding tall hemlock branches to
the rear of the containers. I then add the larger, shiny leaf selections such as aucuba and magnolia. I like to add juniper, pine, cedar and arborvitae to fill in spaces and then add berries. I love nandina berries, ivy berries, holly berries and ligustrum berries. If you have rose hips, they add a lovely touch. Although I have been making the same basic arrangement for over fifty years, sometimes they just don’t seem right, and I must take everything apart and start over. Don’t be afraid to do that. Remember, these are your creations and they should be pleasing to your eyes. I have seen a lot of artificial greenery that is lovely but there is none that can compare to the real thing. Real plant material has a distinctive odor, and those smells evoke memories of times past. Plus, the process of going out into nature and selecting your greenery is a lovely way to spend an afternoon. I hope this will inspire you to use your imagination and to create your own holiday decorations. It can be very rewarding. Happy decorating!

OPINION
Continued from Page 24 Buck had a talent for property and whenever an adjacent property became available he bought it. He used to say that he did not want to buy all of Alpharetta, “just properties next to his.” Eventually he owned most of the property from Old Milton Parkway up to Marietta Street on both sides of Highway 9. The store had a roughhewn appearance to put it mildly. Buck liked it that way because that said “bargains.” Name brand merchandise was piled high and randomly on tables and was priced at about 35% of the normal retail price. Buck resisted suggestions that he straighten up the store. When he tried to tidy up, customers asked if he was planning to raise prices. Customers, Buck believed, focused on the merchandise, not the décor. Buck purchased only name brand clothing and shoes for the store and never bought seconds or irregulars. Top quality shoes were the big customer draw with an estimate 12, 000 pairs in the store and another 13,000 in the warehouse and many more stored in parked trucks. Managing the store was a family

affair. In 1977, Buck’s son Bob and Bob’s brother-in-law Jerry Rogers gave up their successful careers to work in the store. Bob was a research chemist with Eastman Kodak. Jerry was a schoolteacher with a degree in geology. In 1990 following Buck’s death Bob and Jerry took over the business. Over time the store became ten times larger than the original army surplus store. Buck was a success in part because he operated on two principles: be honest with everyone and provide good service to customers. Bob remembers that when he was 12 years old he had to work in the filling station. “I was in charge of making sure that I was there to greet customers before their cars stopped and to find out how we could serve them.” Bob notes that in the late 1950s and 1960s competition was rife in the gas station business. “There were 13 gas stations from one end of Alpharetta to the other. We had to work very hard to support our station in that short piece of road.” The Bargain Store closed in 2005, capping 43 years of successful operation and unique contributor to the growth of Alpharetta. Today Jerry and Bob are enjoying retirement with their families. Bob is a member of the Alpharetta Historical Preservation Commission. My thanks to Ben Hollingsworth, a former customer of the Bargain Store, for suggesting it as the subject for a column.
