Roswell edges out Cambridge on late goal
By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com
MILTON, Ga. — The Roswell Hornets improved to 7-1 on the season after a 12-11 win over Cambridge High School March 11.
Roswell took an early lead, but Cambridge held the advantage on their home field for the majority of the first half. Bears midfielder Michael Guy led his
team with nine goals. He assisted on one of the two goals he did not score.
The Hornets’ attackmen were productive in their surgical-style offense and tied the score at eight goals apiece at halftime.
Junior Jackson Hardwick poured in five of Roswell’s 12 goals, including the game winner in the last minute of the game.
Senior Ben Weir tallied three assists,
joining the list of 13 Roswell Hornets to reach 100 career points. The Queens University of Charlotte commit is the first player this season to cross that mark.
Junior Kaden Perla notched two goals and two assists, one of the dishes coming from a play where he spun out of a double team to set up midfielder Nick Szedon for one of his two goals that night.

Appeals court rejects previous ruling in Sandy Springs police records suit

ATLANTA — The Georgia Court of Appeals ruled March 13 that a lower-court decision favoring the City of Sandy Springs in an Open Records lawsuit was premature.
The ruling is a setback for Sandy Springs and its practice of tailoring police reports released to the public to include nothing but the barest of data.
Responding to the ruling, Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul said the appellate court’s procedural determination

Man trapped in middle of investment scheme
MILTON, Ga. — Milton Police responded to a report from a 44-year-old Milton man who claimed he had been scammed.
The man said he originally received a text message Dec. 2024 saying “HI” from a someone who identified as “Julia.” He began texting her back because she looked and sounded familiar. Shortly after, “Julia” began to talk to the man about investing and trading.
The man transferred $500 from his bank account into a Cash App account, then forwarding it to a Bitcoin account. From there, “Julia” gave him a trading app where he was able to withdraw some small funds.
On Jan. 20, he made two more deposits into the trading account, totaling in $35,000. The man was able to withdraw a total of $613 on Jan. 25. After seeing the account gained over $515,000, he

“Council will discuss this matter and proceed in a manner that ensures public access to vital information while protecting the integrity of the investigative process,” Paul said.
Appen Media brought suit against the city May 2024, claiming it is violating the Open Records Act by denying the newspaper access to initial police officer narratives that are routinely filed during early stages of investigations.
After a Fulton County judge ruled in favor of the city last December, Appen appealed the decision to the higher state court. In its ruling, the
attempted to withdraw $100,000, but the transaction was declined and flagged as suspicious, according to an email he had received. The man then contacted customer support via email, and got a response which stated that his account was blocked, and after 72 hours he could contact them and try again.
The man is still in contact with “Julia,” who has told him that he would be able to withdraw the money but will have to pay fees to get the funds released. He decided that he will continue to talk to her and contact customer support in order to find a solution.
The man will notify police if he is able to obtain the funds.
Police charge woman with attempted fraud
MILTON, Ga. — Milton Police arrested a 68-year-old woman after she allegedly attempted to pass a fraudulent check at Navy Federal Credit Union.
The woman provided police with a Washington State license, which police said came back as fraudulent after further investigation. Upon further interviews with a bank associate, it was discovered that the woman signed and tried to cash the
Court of Appeals determined, “the trial court’s grant of summary judgment was premature. Genuine issues of material fact remain based on this record and thus the trial court erred by granting summary judgment to the City.”
The Georgia Open Records Act maintains that all public records are open for public inspection, but it does allow exceptions. The law provides some latitude for withholding materials surrounding ongoing police investigations. However, initial police crime and incident reports are required to be made available to the public.

fraudulent check for $2,680.
Police arrested the woman and charged her with forgery 3rd degree, obstruction, giving false information and identity theft. The woman was transported to the Fulton County Annex Jail.
Trailer reported stolen from construction site
MILTON, Ga. — Milton police responded to a theft call after a man found that his cargo trailer was stolen.
The police arrived at 13635 Arnold Mill Road to speak with the man. The man stated that the cargo trailer was last seen on March 1 at 4 p.m. parked on the construction site with a tongue lock. On March 3, the man noticed it was gone, with the lock cut and lying on the ground.
The trailer was valued at $12,000 with miscellaneous tools inside valued at $1,500. A generator was also inside the stolen trailer, valued at $900.
Police have yet to locate the trailer, but have submitted a copy of the incident report, along with the vehicle/property theft affidavit to Alpharetta/ Milton Dispatch in order to have the items listed as stolen on the Georgia Crime Information Center and the National Crime Information Center.

Local leaders address concerns for affordable housing
By SARAH COYNE sarah@appenmedia.com
ATLANTA, Ga. — Members of the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership and Atlanta Regional Commission met to present the Atlanta Regional Housing Forum to discuss affordable housing in the community.
With potential federal cuts on affordable housing and shortages plaguing the nation, city leaders addressed the concerns with solutions to combat the housing crisis.
Atlanta Mayor and Atlanta Regional Commission Chairman Andre Dickens said that the best way to become successful with affordable housing is by being “creative.”
“The housing crisis requires collective action, something that requires a little bit of something from all of us,” Dickens said.
The City of Atlanta is investing $60 million toward rapid rehousing for the homeless. Under the initiative, the city provides short-term rental assistance and support services to get homeless people back into permanent housing.
“We launched our rapid housing initiatives to do just what the name

says, to get more housing built, so we built The Melody,” Dickens said.
The Melody project is one of a dozen initiatives Atlanta is partnering with Partners for Home to combat the housing crisis. The project has provided 40 micro-units crafted from repurposed shipping containers.
According to 2024 numbers
from Atlanta Mission, about 2,867 individuals in Atlanta were homeless.
Another 337 people outside Atlanta city limits in Fulton County were considered homeless, with 209 sheltered and 128 unsheltered.
Atlanta Regional Commission Executive Director and CEO Anna Roach highlighted points of how
GEORGIA FARMERS NEED YOUR SUPPORT

For generations, the farmers you represent have worked, studied, retooled, innovated, and done their best for the land—and the communities you serve benefit from their expertise.
Georgia farmers trust the science and know glyphosate can be used safely. The litigation industry, on the other hand, relies on discredited science in the courtroom to threaten the go-to crop protection tools farmers depend on every day.

the agency is working to build an improved regional market strategy in the next few months.
The strategy will bring forward new market data to provide accessible information for local governments to access.
“I hope you understand that: one, we’ve got an incredible challenge in the region around affordability, and if we don’t figure out how to address it, our quality of life and our competitiveness as [a] region is going to be challenged,” Roach said.
The Atlanta Regional Commission also provides the Metro Atlanta Housing Strategy, which provides stakeholders and local governments with detailed data derived from the census about communities and their housing profiles.
According to the Metro Atlanta Housing Strategy, Roswell neighborhoods are priced moderateto-higher in general and consist of mainly single-family homes, with a low proportion of residents in poverty. The average home sold in 2023 brought a price of around $480,000 – a 54.85 percent increase since 2018.

Sandy Springs begins releasing some payroll data, still withholds most employees
By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — The City of Sandy Springs has begun releasing payroll information almost a year after denying Appen Media Group’s Open Records requests for the data.
The reversal comes following months of petitions from the newspaper and interventions from the state Attorney General’s Office.
While the newly disclosed documents show the salaries of high-ranking officials, Sandy Springs continues to withhold information on the city’s remaining 600-odd employees.
By releasing payroll records that obscure an employee’s identity, taxpayers have no way to know who is receiving their money.
Appen Media routinely requests payroll records for municipalities in its coverage areas, including Dunwoody and other cities in North Fulton and Forsyth County.
The payroll data allows residents to see how many people their local governments are employing, who they are and how much they’re paid.
Sandy Springs is the only city Appen Media covers which has refused to turn over that information.
Appen Media publisher Hans Appen said the notion that basic payroll information is not public information is absurd.
“The taxpayers of Sandy Springs have a right to know who is on their payroll,” Appen said.
Appen Media first requested payroll records for the City Council and the City Manager’s Office March 15, 2024.
In the responsive documents, the city redacted every person’s name and employee ID.
The response showed individual checks, but not who they were made out to or how much money each role received.
In one example, the document lists three payments with the job title City Manager and another three with the role Assistant City Manager. With names and employee IDs redacted, it’s unclear how many people the city has in each position and how much they are paid.
The Sandy Springs City Attorney’s Office argued the names of employees are exempt from disclosure because it “would compromise security against sabotage or criminal or terrorist acts.”
After receiving a complaint from Appen, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Settlemire questioned the city’s legal rationale April 2024, saying it was
unclear how the cited exemptions apply.
When Sandy Springs offered its explanation to Settlemire, the Attorney General’s Office rejected the argument and directed the city to turn over the records to Appen Media by Aug. 1. The city did not comply with that order.
It would be five months later – after Appen hired private attorneys and top brass at Attorney General’s Office got involved – that the city handed over payroll information for the City Council, mayor and City Manager’s Office.
The city’s doggedness runs counter to its own city manager’s advice and prolongs a costly battle that has rung up thousands of dollars in legal expenses for the publishing company and Sandy Springs taxpayers.
During a May 14 budget workshop, weeks after the city defended its position to the attorney general, City Manager Eden Freeman responded to a question from Councilman Tibby DeJulio about the city’s responsibility to honor open records requests for personnel or human resources information. DeJulio said city officials discuss topics like pay in executive session, where the public is prohibited.
“Under Georgia law, an employee’s personnel file is not privileged information with the exception of certain
Alpharetta: (678) 205-9004 3180 North Point Pkwy | Suite 303 |
information in there,” Freeman said. “If someone requests an employee’s disciplinary file or pay history, under Georgia law, we have to disclose that.”
When the Aug. 1 deadline passed and it appeared Sandy Springs had disregarded the AG’s directive, Appen Media enlisted the help of legal firm Hull Barrett to continue petitioning the city for the records.
During this time Chief Deputy Attorney General Wright Banks also met with City Attorney Dan Lee about the issue, according to documents obtained by Appen Media.
Then, on Jan. 21, 2025, Banks sent an email to Lee: “Coming back to this that we discussed previously, our understanding is that the City is going to produce the spreadsheet with the names shown,” he wrote.
Two days later, the city sent the records to Appen Media, including the names of elected officials and everyone in the City Manager’s Office.
Now the city is retreating back to its original position, continuing a year-old stance against releasing records relating to the remaining 600-odd employees. Appen Media had also submitted an open records request March 21, 2024,

New gallery displays vintage art, acts as ‘mini museum’
By JIM BASS jim@appenmedia.com
DECATUR, Ga. — For art collector Paul Beall, owner of Monkey Arm Art Gallery, the frames covering his new gallery walls don’t just hold artwork; they also carry the story behind it.
Decatur’s newest art gallery opened its doors to the community in November. The gallery features more than 150 paintings, many drawings, and several original prints spread throughout the building.
Paul Beall opened the new gallery, located at 107 N. McDonough Street, to act as a permanent home to display and sell vintage artworks that he and his wife, Denice Beall, have collected over the course of 25 years.
They purchased the 1920s-era building in late 2022 initially as an investment to renovate and lease out as office space. Denice, co-owner of local residential construction company 360 Construction, led the renovation project on the building, which previously sat in disrepair.
After weighing their options, the couple decided to turn it into Monkey Arm last year. Now, it serves as both a gallery and a “mini-museum” with artworks spanning many styles, origins, and eras, primarily from the midcentury period.
“He is definitely a historian of sorts…” Denice Beall said. “For almost every piece in there, he has a story to tell about it. I love the fact that there's so many artists who weren't even necessarily known or appreciated, now he can bring them into some light.”
Paul had 13 years of prior law experience and implemented those
research skills into learning about each piece. Across the many artworks on display, Paul can offer a plethora of stories to anyone who wants to listen.
“One of the reasons why I wanted to open the gallery is because I love sharing the information with people and interacting with them,” Paul Beall said.
“I like sitting here waiting for people to come in, and if they give me the opportunity to geek out with them, then it's a win-win for me.”
Paul previously rented booths at
events including Paris and Ponce, West Side Market and The Modernists before opening Monkey Arm and has primarily relied on word of mouth and foot traffic to clients and observers to visit.
Among the many paintings in Monkey Arm, each has a background, including a William Langdon Kihn painting featured in 1947 Women’s Daily Magazine, artwork from Loretta Young’s estate, and a piece from the late Agnes Scott College art professor Ferdinand E. Warren.
Paul holds the clients who purchase his artworks in high regard and finds importance in not just transferring the art but passing on their stories with them.
“I like to call my clients guardians of the paintings instead of owners because I believe that they don’t own the pieces so much as guard the pieces and protect it for the next generation,” Paul Beall said.

The couple's passion for learning each piece’s story is one of several reasons why they like collecting vintage instead of contemporary artwork.
“Instead of being compressed in time, as contemporary art is, where you only see something about 20 or 30 years of what has been going on in the art world, collecting vintage [allows] you to see what's been going on for much longer,” Paul Beall said.
The couple believes that the gallery fills the need for a vintage art gallery alongside the contemporary galleries currently in Decatur and could be another step to help grow the city’s art community.
“I would love for people to know that they don't have to go online. They don't have to pay outrageous prices at high-end galleries in New York,” Paul Beall said. “They can get very good art here at home.”
Monkey Arm Art Gallery is open from Noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and appointments are available on Saturday and Sunday. With a small chalkboard sign indicating the gallery’s location, Paul hopes that anyone who stops by to shop or admire enjoys their visit.
“If I can bring a smile to somebody's face and they walk out happy that they were here, again it's a win-win. It's just great,“ Paul Beall said.

Essential Trusts for minor children
Brought
to you by - Estates Law Center USA
When it comes to planning for the future of your children, establishing trusts for minors can be an invaluable tool. These specialized trusts are designed to manage and protect assets for young beneficiaries until they reach adulthood, ensuring their financial security and stability. Minors can never receive ANY assets while minors. A Will where you name a guardian for minor children has nothing to do with your assets if you should pass away leaving your children without any protections. Probate takes control of the assets until the children reach age 18, which basically leaves your children to fend for themselves and is a Disaster, even when they turn 18, they receive a lump sum from Probate court after years of fees by the court administrator. Children at age 18 are not equipped to receive large sums of money or assets without the necessary protections. There are several types of trusts tailored for minors, each serving unique purposes. Custodial accounts, for instance, allow a custodian to manage assets on behalf of the minor until they come of age. Irrevocable trusts can provide long-
term protection, as the assets placed in the trust are safeguarded from creditors and can offer tax benefits. Revocable living trusts allow for flexibility; while the trust can be altered during the parent’s lifetime, it still ensures that assets are distributed according to the grantor’s wishes upon their passing. It also ensures a family member can be appointed by you to oversee the assets in
the trust in the event you pass away while the children are minors.

Dunwoody High School juniors walk the walk for melanoma research
By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
DUNWOODY, Ga. — It began with a dare between high school friends, and a slice of the world is better off afterward.
Jack Goldstein and Brennan Owens, juniors at Dunwoody High School, have raised more than $3,000 for a University of Georgia-based nonprofit, Jam for Cam, after climbing 2,724 floors on a stair climber in just 36 hours.
“Sometime last year, one of Goldstein’s good friends dared him to do a half marathon with no training,” Owens said. “I thought the discipline and motivation was inspiring, so I decided to join him.”
Owens and Goldstein completed the half marathon. The stair climber challenge Feb. 21-22 was next. The idea to raise money for a college charity came a bit later.
“Stairway to Everest,” which is also the name of the Instagram page promoting the fundraiser, is a popular fitness challenge circling social media. It requires gymgoers to scale more than 29,000 vertical feet, albeit without the harsh conditions found on the world’s tallest mountain.
Most of the challenges are spread over weeks or months to help keep people fit as they go about their day. The 17-year-olds decided to push it.
Goldstein said they originally planned to do the challenge on their own but had the idea to create a social media page to document the steps, so classmates couldn’t question it.
His older brother Ryan is a Sigma Nu fraternity brother at UGA. When his brother heard about the upcoming fitness challenge, Ryan said he pitched the idea of using it to raise money for a fraternity-based nonprofit.
“The cause was important to us; my grandfather suffers from melanoma cancer, so I reached out to Ryan and asked if there was any way we could be a part of it,” Goldstein said. “Obviously it raises money for a great cause, but it’s more about bringing people together.”
It was their first time on a stair climber, and both said the support they drew from each other was crucial to seeing the challenge through. After 36 hours of limited sleep and a couple of breaks, the high school juniors said the fundraiser and having a community cheering them on made a real difference.
Jam for Cam was formed in the fall of 2018 to honor Cameron Fearon, a UGA student and Sigma Nu brother, who passed away after a battle with metastatic melanoma in August of that year.
Fearon grew up in Buckhead, graduating from North Atlanta High School in 2017 and joining Sigma Nu

at UGA a few months later. He began his battle with melanoma in the eighth grade, fighting the cancer for years until he passed away at the age of 19 before his sophomore year of college.
He never complained about his terminal diagnosis, preferring to enjoy time with friends and family in Atlanta
charities, the Melanoma Research Foundation, Camp Carolina where Fearon spent his childhood summers, and one selected annually by the Athens and UGA community.
Jam for Cam raised $120,000 in 2019 and $287,000 in November 2023.
The event is more than just fundraising for cancer research and scholarships. The nonprofit is committed to bringing a community together where everyone can celebrate the sound of good music, something that Fearon was passionate about.
Since its inception, the nonprofit has raised more than $850,000, cementing the festival as an Athens staple, drawing in students and families across the Southeast.
Goldstein and Owens have pitched in a few thousand toward the festival’s goal of raising $500,000 this year. Both said there’s no chance they’re missing the March 29 festival.
With donations still coming in, Goldstein and Owens also arranged a percentage night March 6 at Dunwoody’s Village Burger. They are expecting the donations to keep growing.
When they aren’t attempting fitness challenges or prepping for college applications, the two Wildcats work at the Village Burger. Goldstein said when he brought the idea to his manager, he immediately okayed it.
This year, the nonprofit’s March 29 music festival is set to be the first in the streets of downtown Athens since Widespread Panic’s famous 1998 album release.
While annual gatherings like AthFest Music and Arts Festival and the Athens Twilight Criterium bring large crowds, Jam for Cam is expecting to have thousands packing the streets.
Performers include The Gringos, a winner of a local battle of bands the competition, Atlanta-based Penelope Road, Denver’s Congress the Band.
Milky Chance, a platinum-album selling German rock band, headlines the 2025 Jam for Cam, the biggest band to grace the festival’s stage yet.

and Athens.
Fearon’s fraternity brothers and the broader community came together to throw a musical festival, raising more than $70,000 in 2018, with more than 7,000 people in downtown Athens. Each year, the fraternity raises tens of thousands of dollars for three

Roswell City Council defers bond approval aimed to help Wellstar
By SARAH COYNE sarah@appenmedia.com
ROSWELL, Ga. —Plans to allow issuance of Roswell Development Authority Revenue Bonds to refinance obligations of Wellstar Health System have been placed on hold for now.
The Roswell City Council voted unanimously March 10 to defer action on the matter.
No explanation for the deferral was provided, but Councilwoman Sarah Beeson said the measure should be back within 30 days.
A deferral will typically occur if the applicant needs to gather more information or address some concerns with a further review.
The resolution, which would allow the Development Authority to serve as a “pass through” for up to $100 million to refinance Wellstar debt, was originally recommended Feb. 25 at a Committees of Council meeting. The committee includes the city manager, the City Council and mayor.
If allowed, the measure would have no impact on the city’s bond capacity or Roswell taxpayers and will allow Wellstar to refinance its debt obligation with a savings around $1 million annually through a lower interest rate.
Wellstar has taken this route before. In 2017 the Cobb County Commission approved for the issuance of $275 million in Revenue in Revenue Anticipation Certificates through the Cobb County Kennestone Hospital Authority.
“It will be back,” Beeson said.
In other matters at the March 10 meeting, The regular agenda for Monday night’s meeting comprised of a public hearing from the Community Development Department by Liaison Councilmember William Morthland.
A site plan amendment for 936 Old Chadwick Lane Grand Reserve at Litchfield was requested by the applicant to change to a previously approved site plan. Motions were discussed to comply with GDOT safety requirements and adjust a secondary emergency access entrance on Arnold Mill Road.
“I don’t think it’s safe for any more cars to be taking a
left onto 140 from any neighborhood,” Toll Brothers VP of Land Development J.R Crowe said.
The amendment will move the emergency access lane approximately three units to the right.
The 136-unit subdivision is expected to exceed the 750 average daily trips, therefore requiring two access connection, based on the Roswell Unified Development Code.
Neighborhood residents raised concerns over construction traffic.
“It’s just a safety hazard,” resident Seidel Anke said.
Based on the concern, Beeson brought forward a fifth condition to gain approval from the rest of City Council. Her motion will require all construction traffic to utilize Old Chadwick Road and Arnold Mill Road as primary egress pending GDOT approval.
A partial language change was given to condition three.
Roswell Cultural Arts Center schedules musical, ‘Violet’

Roswell group seeks logo ideas for Painted Rock festival
ROSWELL, Ga. — The Roswell Arts Fund is inviting residents to submit logo design ideas for the Festival of the Painted Rock.
No matter design experience, Roswell residents are encouraged to use their creativity to create a logo that reflects the festival’s mission to intertwine the arts and nature, through all art mediums. Applicants are also asked to capture the spirit of the community and celebration, include the text “Festival of the Painted Rock” and use the original logo as inspiration, while designing.
The Festival of the Painted Rock is an arts celebration from the late ’80s and early ’90s, making its return Aug. 30 at Chattahoochee Nature Center. The event’s comeback will feature live music, food and art installations and activities, all while
celebrating the area’s natural beauty.
Inspired by the Chattahoochee River, which in Creek language means “rocksmarked” or “painted,” the festival also serves as a joint fundraiser for the Roswell Arts Fund celebrating its 10th anniversary and Chattahoochee Nature Center celebrating its 50th anniversary. The Roswell Arts Fund is a nonprofit dedicated to advancing the arts while contributing to the cultural landscape of the city. Residents can submit their design until April 7. The winner will be announced April 14, with a prize of $250, two event tickets and their logo featured on festival marketing materials and merchandise.

It’s white bass season again!
It’s a chilly, windy March afternoon, and I’m knee-deep in the cold waters of a north Georgia river with a fly rod in my hand. I admit it. I’m cold! Saner minds would probably be inside with a cup of hot tea and a good book.
But not me. Not today. I’m shivering in the interest of fishing because white bass season has arrived.
For much of the year, white bass hang out in deep water in large lakes and are not accessible to fly fishers like me. But every spring, usually starting sometime in March and lasting into mid-April or so, huge numbers of white bass school near the mouths of major tributaries and then migrate upstream to spawn. That puts them within reach, and for several weeks the fishing can be off-the-chart good.
That’s what I’m hoping for today.
This is the first time I’ve waded this river this year, and I’m going slowly in case the bottom contours have changed. I ease along, feeling the bottom through the soles of my wading boots, noting changes since
last year as I go. Time does that to rivers, you know, resculpting them and turning them into something always new.
Over there, where there used to be a good fish-holding run, there is now a shallow sandbar. But yonder, where last season the water was barely ankle deep, I spot a tangled mass of roots and limbs with strong current flowing through a brandnew zone of deeper holding water that must surely be 4 feet deep.
Ahh – I’ve found flowing water close to a brush pile. That’s what I’m looking for. Why? Because that’s what the white bass are looking for too.
White bass are ambush predators, and they continue to feed throughout their runs upriver. They’ll hold close to the cover waiting for the flow to bring something interesting their way (perhaps a small shad imitation like the one tied to the end of my line). Then they’ll grab it – and the battle is on!
I angle left to put myself in better casting position. Then I shake out a little line and make a cast – the first cast of the season. The rod bends like I want it to. The line does my bidding. The fly sails through the air, line unrolling smooth and straight and pretty as can be.
The fly lands with a soft splash a yard or two upstream from the tangle of brush.
Lowering my rod’s tip, I count (one… two…three) to let the fly sink. White bass in flowing water tend to hang out in the lower portion of the water column, and “counting down” your lure helps you try different depths to figure out where they are in each particular area.
Then I begin to retrieve in regular footlong strips, roughly one per second, trying to make the fly look like a minnow that doesn’t have a care in the world.
It happens on that very first cast. One minute I’m stripping in line. The next, there’s an electric jolt and the rod’s tip surges and suddenly I’m tight into a fish. A minute or two later, I bring it to net. It’s a white bass of just over a pound.
It’s a good sign, a good omen.
White bass season has begun!
But what’s a white bass?
My friend the fisheries biologist tells me that white bass are known in scientific circles as Morone chrysops. They’re members of the Moronidae family of temperatewater true bass –unlike the more famous largemouth bass, which is technically just a sunfish!
As noted earlier, white bass continue to eat during their spawning runs and like to hold near cover waiting for small minnows to swim by. In addition to targeting brush piles and root balls, look for them along edges of deeper channels or sandbars. The area just downstream of a creek mouth can also be good. When white bass are running, you’ll pick up fish just about anywhere – but targeting holding spots will increase your odds of success.
Once you find suitable water, all you have to do is cast. If the white bass are there at the same time you are, that’s usu-
ally all it takes. No special techniques are required, and that makes white bass fishing a great way to share your joy of fishing with beginning anglers or with kids. What kind of flies or lures work best?
Spin fishers use small crankbaits (silver is a great color), in-line spinners, or similar minnow imitations. A silver or white Rooster Tail or Mepps spinner is effective, as is a simple curly-tail grub on a white or red jig head hook.
Flyrodders like to use minnow imitations (especially silver or white ones) about 2 inches long. Good patterns include white

Woolly Buggers, silver or silver-and-gold Rolex-style flies, or the ever-popular RedNosed Yeti shad imitation. Again, there’s no special trick to it; simply make the cast and retrieve with steady strips of 10 or 12 inches.
Now the big question: where can you fish for springtime white bass? In our area, and as the water warms and spawning runs build, look for them in major tributaries feeding Lanier or Allatoona. Top Lanier tributaries are the Chestatee (at least as far upstream as the Georgia 400 bridge) as well as the Chattahoochee above Lanier. If focusing on Allatoona tributaries, look at the Coosa River system (many target the river downstream from Lock and Dam Park) as well as the Etowah (you’ll find fish as far up as Canton and beyond) and Little River.
Much of this water is best accessed by boat. Knowledgeable anglers fish it by drifting downriver, keeping the boat within casting range of near-shore holding areas. If they find fish they’ll stop and work that water thoroughly.
Don’t have a boat? In some areas it’s often possible to fish from shore – particularly with spinning gear. I think of the Etowah in Canton, where a great riverside parks system provides several spots where fishing from the bank is feasible.
There are some wade-fishing opportunities, too, though you may have do some hunting to find them. One popular wading area is the portion of Little River near Olde Rope Mill Park, though it can be crowded. A bit of research will point you toward other (and less crowded) wadable spots on other white bass waters. In this case, the Internet really is your friend.
Folk wisdom says that the white bass runs peak about the time the dogwoods bloom, so keep your eyes on the trees!
But they’ll start their runs before that. Water temperature is key, and if you really find yourself getting into this (which a surprising number of white bass enthusiasts do) then pick up a stream thermometer and check water temperatures yourself! When the readings reach the mid-50s, you can figure that the white bass are heading up the rivers. From that point, the spawning runs (and the good fishing) will last for several weeks, sometimes well into April.
Start planning now, and you just might make fishing memories you’ll treasure for years to come.
And if you see me on the water, be sure to say hello!

OPINION
Bailey-Johnson School, its neighborhood and special resident
Much has been written recently about Bailey-Johnson School on Kimball Bridge Road in Alpharetta, which was built to serve Black children during the age of segregation. It was the first public high school in North Fulton County for Black students that offered all grades 1 through 12. Prior to that, education for Black children ended with 7th grade. The school operated from 1950 to 1967. Originally called the Alpharetta Colored School, it was renamed in 1952.
The school’s name comes from the first names of George “Hard” Bailey and Warren Johnson who played major roles in founding the school. In its heyday, the small neighborhood had about 25 Blackowned homes and the Pineview Cemetery which today has more than 160 memorials.
Hard Bailey was a well-respected Black farmer and blacksmith who, in the early 1900s, owned a shop on South Main Street in Alpharetta. He donated land from his farm on Kimball Bridge Road for the school. He was honored in February 2025 with the unveiling of a historical marker at the site of his blacksmith shop. The marker was a joint effort of the City of Alpharetta and the Alpharetta and Old Milton County Historical Society.
“The marker is important because until Bailey-Johnson, few Black students were able to go beyond 7th grade and thus were kept in generational poverty,” said Historical Society President Pat Miller.
Roswell resident Warren Johnson was a former slave who became a life-long advocate for Black education. He promoted the idea of a separate Black school, helped raise donations for the school and worked to recruit qualified teachers.
The impact of the school was quite amazing, given its small enrollment. It had 166 elementary and high school students and 13 faculty when it closed. The last graduating class had only eight students.
Charles Grogan, a well-known local Black historian, Bailey-Johnson alumni and former star basketball player, attributes the school’s success to the impact of four initial teachers who taught students about respect for others.
Various plans have been put forth over the years to repurpose the school building, but to date it remains a ghostly reminder of a past era.
Adjacent to the school is the former Alpharetta Colored Methodist Church established in 1867 by a group of former slaves.

Long time resident Dorothy Anderson’s house is across the street from the Bailey-Johnson School. Her home is well-known for the elaborate lights she displays at Christmas and Easter. “They make people happy,” she says.
It occupied several locations over the years and moved to Kimball Bridge Road in 1963. It changed its name in 1967 to the St. James United Methodist Church. The church again moved in 2000 and today is located on Webb Bridge Road.
The former church property is currently owned by the Diamond Glass Company which purchased the building from the church circa 2020 to house its executive offices.
“I have been in the neighborhood for some 42 years, and I couldn’t see someone tear down so much history,” said Andy Kalifeh, Diamond Glass Company president. “We kept the exterior integrity of the church.”
Kalifeh wants to put a history room in the building, possibly dedicated to Chestene Manning Carter (1932-2018), a beloved member of the church.
Only one original house remains in the neighborhood. It is located across the street from the church building and is owned by 94-year-old Dorothy Mae Anderson. Charles Grogan, her long-time friend, and I recently spent a delightful afternoon at her home discussing her fascinating life.
Dorothy spent her formative years on the Guy Washington Findley (1907-1961) farm on McGinnis Ferry Road where her parents were sharecroppers and worked in the farm’s 12-acre cotton field. She recalls her father telling her to “bend her back” when picking. It was a tedious job, and the cotton bolls hurt her fingers.
“We picked 10 bales each year,” she said.
She attended the Sheltonville School for Black Students through the 7th grade,
The Alpharetta Colored School was founded in 1950. Two years later, it changed its name to the Bailey-Johnson School. The sign on the white car parked in front of the school says Dental Division Fulton County Health Department.
although her teacher continued to instruct her on the side. At age 19, she moved to Alpharetta where she worked in the home of Roy and Suzie Day and later at the home of Doctor Morris. She was employed for 29 years by the Fulton County Board of Education in food service. She still loves to cook.
She married Howard Eugene Anderson (1927-2008) in 1951. He drove a school bus for 38 years.
“I went with him at first to draw a map of all the roads and every stop from Bailey-Johnson to Sheltonville,” Dorothy said.
After Bailey-Johnson closed in 1967
their son Terry, now retired from General Motors, attended Milton High School where he played on the basketball team.
Dorothy is famous for the elaborate Christmas and Easter lights in her yard.
“People tell me they like to drive by my house because it makes them feel good,” she said. She sums up her life saying “I wouldn’t change a thing.”

Top of the mountain changes over time
RAY APPEN
Publisher Emeritus ray@appenmedia.com
My daughter and I were talking yesterday about music. She told me she had heard good things about the new Bob Dylan movie. I replied to her that I had too.
We then moved on to other topics including how young people today make friends and socialize. I said that I know of young adults who have substituted online for in-person. I am sure we all know young people like that. The daughter of a friend of ours – an engineer with a degree from Purdue I think – lives 100 percent online our friend told us, really, 100 percent.
“She goes to work and then comes home and stays in front of her computer until it’s time to sleep. She doesn’t have any friends. She doesn’t go out. She just works and lives online,” she said.
She told us that her daughter recently commissioned an avatar for her online persona and was spending serious money, like thousands.
Our friend’s daughter lives at home with our friend in the same house where she grew up, the same town. She lives near the kids she went to school with, went to movies with, probably dated and went to football games with. Yet, her only friends are her online friends now – and if I am to understand it correctly – most of those friends are virtual friends, like avatars and such and not even actual people. Huh?
She recently quit her job and admitted herself to some sort of recovery program. From?
I am treading into space about which I know so little. I know what I don’t see. But I am not sure what it is that I actually do see.
I had a conversation with another friend’s daughter who recently moved to Atlanta. I told her that I could relate to moving to another place and struggling to meet people, make new friends and get one’s bearings. I told her that in another life, I had moved to Chile for two years and knew how isolated and at times lonely it made me.
She looked at me with a quizzical look and shook her head.
“I don’t have that problem” she said. “Last night I went to dinner with
one of my Facebook group friends. I don’t have problems meeting or finding people; I find them on Facebook or via (something to do with) TikTok. It’s not a big deal,” she shrugged her shoulders.
Like what planet did I live on or how dumb could I be - she intoned, without malice.
Instead of replying, I nodded and thought about what she said. I wondered how different she was – her life was – from the engineer whose friends were primarily virtual. Surely, I thought, she was navigating somewhat differently. I mean, she actually went out and did something with another person. But, I thought, how often does that really happen for her as opposed to a relationship only with screens?
My daughter listened to me and thought for a moment, then she told me a brief story. She said she’d recently watched a documentary on the Dylan movie. They played an interview that someone did with Dylan and asked him how he felt about the availability of music – all music – today at the tip of your fingers, access to every song, every symphony, every note via Spotify and the like on a smart phone.
She said Dylan replied that back in the day, when he was just starting out, there was no TV, just radio. So, when he would hear a song that struck him, he might not hear it again, but he would listen for it on the radio and would hope that it got played. She said that he would try to find out where the musician was playing or lived so he could go hear him or her. He said he would network to try to find the music; he would search for it and try to track it down – like he did with Woodie Guthrie.
My daughter then threw out an idea that struck me – like being hit in the face or head with something hard, cold, and unforgiving.
“What,” she pondered, “what happens to the top of the mountain? How does the top of the mountain change when you no longer have to work to get to it?”
I had no clue, just the weight of a great big rhetorical 800-pound gorilla standing on my chest.
Anyone who reads my columns knows that I have always said that everything important that I know, I have learned from my children. And that only continues.
Indeed.
for the payroll records of all Sandy Springs employees. The city’s response mirrored the administrators’ list – all names were redacted.
As of March 13, the city has yet to release the names of its estimated 600 other municipal employees on the public payroll.
Responding to questions about the matter March 11, Mayor Rusty Paul said the city fully agrees that the public has a right to access information.
“The city has always been transparent in responding to open records requests, never withholding payroll or financial data,” Paul wrote. “However, considering today’s evolving security threats, there are compelling reasons to consider the release of certain records.”
He said Sandy Springs is committed to protecting employee privacy, citing risks from recent doxing incidents.
For its part, Appen Media has found no record of a city employee being doxed based on limited access to Sandy Springs Police Department records.
“The Attorney General has supported privacy protections for public safety employees, and the city’s policy is to protect our employees,”
Paul wrote. “As technology and cyber threats continue to evolve, statutory exceptions, designed to protect sensitive personal information, must also adapt.”
The city is extending state guidance protecting the identities of public safety personnel to everyone receiving a paycheck from Sandy Springs.
Council members Tibby DeJulio, Andy Bauman, Melody Kelley and Melissa Mular did not respond to requests for comment on the city’s refusal to release all payroll records.
City Councilwoman Jody Reichel, who is running for mayor this year, said she respects the importance of protecting employee privacy, particularly public safety personnel, but thinks open records laws exist for a reason.
“Transparency in government is critical … if we are legally required to provide this information, we should do so — just as other cities have,” Reichel said. “Public companies, universities, and government agencies routinely disclose salary information because taxpayers, shareholders and stakeholders deserve to know how funds are spent.”
Councilman John Paulson referred questions to the city manager, saying, “I suggest Eden [Freeman] is the best person to provide official city comments on the topic.”
Neither Freeman nor the Sandy Springs Communications Department responded to requests for comment.
According to the city’s fiscal year 2025 budget, the city is set to pay an estimated $70.8 million for personnel and benefits. That’s 46 percent of the city’s operating budget.
The Sandy Springs budget also allocates to its legal department $280,000 for personnel, $700,000 for legal services and $500,000 for litigation.
Appen Media is continuing to work with the Attorney General’s Office and paying out of pocket to pursue the release of the remaining records.

Perla complimented his team’s ball movement and ability to find open shots.
“When we had the ball, we made things happen,” he said. “I think cutting was big today in helping me get open. We knew we had to get the ball for the last possession if we wanted to win.”
The Hornets’ three remaining goals came from Blake O’Neal, Wyatt Luce, and Harrison Penn. Bears goalie Jack Wildstein had several clutch saves in the last two minutes, but the persistence of
solid faceoff performances from
and Jack Dowdy helped the Hornets to outlast the Bears.
Roswell head coach Bryan Wallace said matching up against the No. 8 team in Georgia was slated to be high-energy.
“There’s some familiarity and it’s always a competitive game,” he said. “It’s a game of runs, and when it comes down to the last possession, we had to keep our composure. We’re continuing to build.”
The win boosted Roswell to No. 4 in the Southern Region, now sitting above Lambert who were scheduled to face off against the Hornets March 15 in a tournament at Fellowship Christian.

How to Solve: Each line in the puzzle above has three clues and three answers. The last letter in the first answer on each line is the first letter of the second answer, and so on. The connecting letter is outlined, giving you the correct number of letters for each answer (the answers in line 1 are 4, 5 and 5 letters). The clues are numbered 1 through 7, which each number containing 3 clues for the 3 answers on the line. But here’s the catch! The clues are not in order - so the first clue in Line 1 may (or may not) actually be for the second or third answer in that line. Got it? Good luck!
How to Solve: To solve the Sudoku puzzle, each row, column and box must contain the numbers 1 to 9.

The strategy toolkit suggests that the area of Roswell supports smaller homes and ownership opportunities, establishes local housing funding resources and programs, identifies and educates on housing instability and reduces costs of housing near transit and amenities. The strategy blueprint supplies local leaders and stakeholders with more ways to understand and address housing challenges.
Roach said that the region is not providing building permits fast enough to keep up with the growth of Metro Atlanta, contributing to the affordable housing crisis. Roach said 1.8 million people are expected to move to the region by 2050.
“We are building far too little in Metro Atlanta to keep up with our growing population,” Roach said.

The Forum also featured three local panelists. Tiffany Wills from Decide Dekalb, Matt Elder from Gwinnett County Planning & Development and Gray Kelly from Marietta Housing Forum discussed how they address affordable housing in their community.
“The federal government changes are going to come, no questions there at all,” Elder said, adding that all they can do is to work with their neighbors “one day at a time, one step at a time.”
Gwinnett County recently announced it will begin to work with the Gwinnett Housing Corporation and officials from Peachtree Corners to transform a 73-unit extended stay hotel into an affordable housing development.
“When I say we’re just getting started, I mean we’re literally just getting started,” Elder said.

Records:
For over a year, the paper has pushed Sandy Springs for more details about calls its police officers have been dispatched to investigate.
In most cases, the agency has returned the requests with one-sentence narratives stating when and where police were dispatched to and, usually, for what reason. Unlike incident reports provided by police agencies in surrounding jurisdictions, the Sandy Springs reports lack details on the nature of the crime, an accounting of property damage, injuries associated with a crime, whether any arrests were made, and whether any suspects have been identified.
Sandy Springs admits that officers responding to incidents generally write more detailed reports in a second document, often written the same day. The city claims in its legal defense that this second report is not part of the initial incident report, and therefore doesn’t have to be disclosed.
In its complaint, Appen cited examples of Sandy Springs reports where both documents were created at the same time on the same day. When the newspaper filed open records requests for the reports associated with these incidents, the city only provided the first, one-sentence page.
the same time as the first part of the report is part of the initial incident report.”
In December, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Adams ruled in favor of the city, saying Appen Media failed to prove it is unlawful for the department to withhold the additional information.
Adams said Appen’s use of the Attorney General’s assessment is not the law, “although [Appen] may be correct in its assertion that [the Sandy Springs Police Department’s] practice violates the spirit of the Open Records Act.”
Appen appealed the decision to the state Court of Appeals. On March 13, the higher court rejected the lower court action.
The ruling says the city did not prove that the records should have been withheld in the first place.
“Here, it was the City’s burden to show why the requested records should not be disclosed as a matter of law,” the judgement states. “The City fails to meet its burden.”
The court also focused on the Georgia laws underpinning the case.
State open records laws read that “initial police arrest reports and initial incident reports,” are always subject to release, even if they are part of an ongoing investigation.
instead of the report’s title or when it was produced.
The Court of Appeals rejected the city’s blanket defense that only the first, brief report is always considered the initial document.
“Whether a narrative report prepared at the same time as an incident report actually constitutes part of that initial incident report is a fact specific inquiry,” the court wrote. “In some cases it may, and in some cases it may not.”
The appellate court’s ruling says it did not, nor did the lower trial court, have enough information to determine whether the documents in question should have been released.
During the lower court’s discovery process, Appen Media asked the city to submit the complete reports – both the brief account and the second account with more details – for the incidents.
Sandy Springs did not provide all of the materials.
Without these materials and the ability to compare the two, the appeals court says “the trial court’s grant of summary judgement was premature. Genuine issues of material fact remain based on this record and thus the trial court erred by granting summary judgment to the City.”
opinion in the decision, saying that the ruling should have gone a step further.
Citing the city’s actions for filing separate reports, McFadden wrote: “I would hold that this practice is an improper circumvention of the [Open Records] Act and that the responding officer’s full narrative about his or her initial response to the incident also constitutes an ‘initial incident report’ subject to disclosure under the Act.”
McFadden also addressed the lack of materials the city provided in the discovery process.
“The possibility that the more detailed narratives associated with Appen Media’s requests might also contain information that is exempt from disclosure merely highlights the existence of questions of fact as to whether the City disclosed what it was required to in response to Appen Media’s requests,” he wrote.
“The evidence, viewed most favorably to Appen Media, shows that Appen Media requested incident reports but received only the short reports and not any more detailed narratives. And there is evidence, by way of examples from closed cases, of instances when responding officers included one- or two-sentence narratives about an incident in a short report and the rest of that narrative in a more detailed narrative report.”
Appen noted in its complaint guidance from the Attorney General’s Office that, “A common-sense interpretation of ‘initial incident report’ is that anything written at
The appellate court’s decision points out that while, “the Act requires disclosure of ‘initial incident reports,’ it does not define that term.”
After describing an example in the court record, McFadden went on: “A factfinder could infer from the closed-case examples that similar, more detailed narratives exist for the incidents that are the subjects of Appen Media’s open records requests, but the City did not disclose them.” Continued from Page 2
Even so, it argues that whether or not a document is an initial incident report must be weighed on a case-by-case basis,
