MILTON, Ga. — Fry’s Electronics reported June 24 that an unidentified man tried to steal an Arlo camera worth $529 from the store on Webb Road. Store employees said the suspect concealed the item in his jacket and passed all points of sale without paying for the item. When the store’s loss prevention officer confronted the man, he dropped the camera and ran into the parking lot. An employee told police that the suspect had been in the store earlier that day and was seen leaving in a blue Dodge Charger. The suspect appears to have long black dreadlocks and was seen wearing a red hoodie and blue jeans, police said.

MILTON, Ga. — Police responded to a fight June 23 in Milton at a man’s home where the homeowner had a cut next to his left eye, which he said came from a mop that his friend used against him after they got into an argument.

to shut up, which started an altercation. During the fight, the friend allegedly picked up a Swiffer hardwood floor mop and struck the man in the face. The alleged assailant told police he felt he needed the mop for self-defense, because the other man is much bigger. He also told police that the car owner instigated the fight by punching him and knocking his glasses off his face before he picked up the mop. He said he was called a racial slur after he hit the car owner with the mop and grabbed his glasses to leave. Based on the conflicting testimonies, police were unable to determine who the aggressor was and referred the men to Fulton County Court if they wish to apply for warrants.

District to spend $9 million for renovations at Roswell, Centennial By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com Major renovations at Roswell and Centennial high schools are underway this summer with the long list of features and enhancements slated to be complete by the start of school in August 2021. The nearly $9 million project will provide a much-needed facelift to both area high schools, as well as updates and additions to bring the schools up to the education specifications of newer high schools. Black box theaters will be constructed at each school, along with new academic spaces to house each schools’ Career, Technical and Agricultural Education support areas. At Roswell, the CTAE pathways include construction, cosmetology, video broadcasting – all of which will have new academic space. An addition is also being added to support the Junior ROTC program. CTAE pathways at Centennial in line for new academic spaces include programs focused on public safety and video broadcasting. The projects are part of Fulton Schools’ Capital Plan 2022 which lays out the 5-year construction plans from 2017 through 2022 across the district. The nearly $977 million plan is being funded through the proceeds from the one-cent Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax renewed by voters in 2016. Nearly every school and facility in Fulton Schools will be impacted through Capital Plan 2022, which also includes funding for technology and security enhancements. Patrick Burke, chief operations officer for Fulton Schools, said Capital Plan 2022 contained a lot of high school renovations, focused primarily at the older high schools in the district. “The renovations are of the typical type we usually see for systems that are at the end of their useful life [such

What is a black box theater? According to the TDF Theater Dictionary, a black box theater is just what the name implies: a bare square or rectangular room, painted black, with a movable seating area, a movable stage, and a flexible lighting system. The set-up allows a neutral setting to give the performers a wide range of design and staging choices. The concept gained popularity during the 1960s when performance venues in storefronts, basements and other non-traditional areas became popular. From there, the black box theater concept moved to colleges and increasingly more high schools. High schools in North Fulton which currently have black box theaters include Alpharetta, Milton, Cambridge and Johns Creek. All remaining high schools, with the exception of Independence, will have black box theaters by the end of 2022.

as] heating and cooling systems, bathrooms, flooring, etc.,” he noted, during a meeting of the Fulton County Board of Education in June. School planners also took a hard look at renovations that would go far in correcting potential deficiencies in academic areas at the schools, including adding space to support the CTAE pathways. “The Capital Plan identified issues, but we can’t solve them until we begin to design a solution,” said Burke. “We are now coming back with solutions.” The academic renovations in Capital Plan 2022 first looked at high schools built prior to 2008, which includes Roswell and Centennial. “These are the first [projects] out of the chute, but we will be coming

Doug Cary, director of Capital Planning for Fulton Schools, noted Roswell and Centennial are similar building prototypes, but have variations in floorplans and layouts. Additionally, the CTAE programs at each school are different with unique requirements for spaces. “How to renovate or [implement] new construction comes into play of course within the context of budget,” said Cary. “So it’s a balancing act.

Board member Katie Reeves of North Fulton encouraged Fulton Schools staff to make sure there is equity among all schools as new items are added, such as black box theaters and green space. “As we are doing new construction and coming up with new education specifications, [the public] wants to know where their school is on the list [for that improvement],” said Reeves.

Yield to the gentleman with 18 wheels

It’s been a little over two weeks now that I should be dead. Returning home late one night from Conyers on I-20, I’d just pulled into the left of two exit lanes feeding onto I-285. pat Fox To my right was my Editor pat@appenmediagroup.com wife. To her right was an 18-wheeler. As we rounded the curve, probably traveling at around 50 mph, the truck suddenly crossed into my lane. I had already noticed the lane to my left was packed with speeding vehicles, so all I could do was brake and creep as far to the left as I dared. Things happened too quickly for me to reason that getting rear-ended by a speeding car would have probably been better than getting mashed underneath a semi. Anyway, somehow, miraculously, the front edge of the trailer swept past within inches. Whew! Then, something terrifying happened. I saw the back end of the trailer coming alongside, tilting onto its left bank of wheels and swerving even farther into our lane. I had already calculated how close we came to being smashed by the front end. This time, no need to calculate. It was a certainty. All we could do is sit and watch the giant wheels churning closer. Somehow, nothing happened. Not a scratch. Keep in mind, this was not a close call — not from my perspective. You can’t drive around Atlanta and not expe-

rience a close call. They are almost routine. They happen. You tell your friends about it, then forget it. This was different. All visual signs indicated I was witnessing the end. This was not a close call. This was inevitability carried out to the 20th decimal point. I won’t go into the ethereal variables for our escape — a guardian angel, freak wind shear, interdimensional shift. Maybe it was destiny, issuing a ruling that I should write a column about the experience. And, maybe a reader will be moved by it – moved enough to drive a little more carefully, a little less aggressively. You see, I was completely within my right to be in my lane merging onto I-285. Why should I yield way to a semi which was going to run out of pavement soon? Well, I found out why. Maybe an official with the Georgia Department of Transportation or the Federal Highway Safety Administration will read this column and consider action to eliminate two-lane merges that narrow to one lane on high-speed roadways. Maybe.

“Southern Summer” include Ben Hollingsworth, Sue Miller, and Nancy Murphy as well as Buchanan and Schutt. Works from nationally renowned artist John “Cornbread” Anderson will return to this show. Cornbread, a self-taught artist, hails from Lumpkin County and typically paints animals with acrylic paint on plywood boards. He is known for his iconic Guinea hens. “There are both well-known artists and up-and-coming artists [in the exhibit],” Schutt said. “This was a juried show, and we had some impressive submissions this time.” The July 6 reception will include plein air painting as well as live music from local bands. A model will also dress in a Southern-themed costume to complement the gallery’s theme, Schutt said.

Retail in the area is strong. There has not been the overdevelopment over the last 10 years that we saw leading up to the recession. Mark Joines, senior managing director with Newmark Knight Frank

Stonewood Village, a 106,485-square-foot shopping center at 670 North Main Street in Alpharetta has been sold.

Milton development firm buys Alpharetta shopping center By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Milton-based Orkin & Associates has purchased Stonewood Village, a 106,485-squarefoot shopping center at 670 North Main Street in Alpharetta. Newmark Knight Frank announced the sale June 13. “Stonewood Village presented a rare opportunity for investors to capitalize on a well-positioned shopping center that offers significant value enhancement from the empty big box and outparcel development,” said Mark Joines, senior managing director with Newmark Knight Frank. “It was no surprise that the buyer, with a focus on long-term ownership, jumped on the chance to own the property.” Orkin & Associates, through its development partner, Devin Properties, develops retail, residential and mixeduse properties, and provides full-service management to in-house assets through Orkin Asset Management. Built in 1986, Stonewood Village had been marketed as providing an ideal value-add opportunity with flexible space options for grocers and junior anchors.

It lies within one of Metro Atlanta’s fastest growing suburban corridors. More than 137,000 people work within a fivemile radius of Stonewood Village, with average household incomes in the area exceeding $146,000. Key tenants at Stonewood Village include Dover Saddlery, Anytime Fitness, Queen of Hearts Antiques and Pure Spa. More than 32,000 square feet of space is currently available for lease, including a vacant big box. In a statement issued following the sale, Orkin said Stonewood Village presents a great opportunity for the company, and it looks forward to filling it with businesses the community will enjoy. The transaction reflects continued investor demand for value-add shopping centers located in high-growth suburban areas and feature a healthy mix of service and necessity-based retailers, making them less vulnerable to e-commerce. Joines said the north Atlanta market is ripe for retail, especially as a component within mixed-use development. “Retail in the area is strong,” he said. “There has not been the overdevelopment over the last 10 years that we saw leading up to the recession.”

ALPHARETTA CHAMBER'S

Joines conceded there have been instances of retail headwinds. “We’ve lost a number of big-box retailers out there, your Sports Authority, some of your office suppliers like Office Depot and Office Max, and of course Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us,” he said. “But those have been back-filled pretty easily, especially in areas like Roswell, Alpharetta and Johns Creek, where the general outlook is strong; there’s a lot of growth.” A lot of the development going on now, Joines said, is densification in older, more mature areas, like Alpharetta City Center, which includes office, retail and residential. In other areas, new retail development is taking on a different look. “Some of that backfill includes some new-age, non-traditional retailers, such as fitness clubs, discount-oriented tenants like Big Lots and Goodwill,” he said. Alpharetta’s key economic indicators continue to trend upward. The city’s population has grown by approximately 15 percent over the last eight years, with nearly two-thirds of residents holding a bachelor’s degree. More than 5,000 companies are located within the city limits.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Appen Media Group, publishers of the Herald newspapers and the Dunwoody Crier, has named Patrick Fox managing editor. For the past several years, he has focused on government and business in Alpharetta and Roswell. Fox came to the paper in 2014 after 25 years with the Atlanta JournalConstitution where he served as a designer, copy editor and reporter. Before that, he spent four years as FOX a news editor at The Hutchinson News in Hutchinson, Kansas. “Pat brings a level of expertise to our newsroom that few community newsrooms can claim,” Appen Publisher Hans Appen said. “We are proud and excited to have him at the helm.” A graduate of Wichita State University, Fox began his career as a reporter for a small weekly newspaper in Marion, Kansas. “Having begun my career in a small setting, I recognize the value of community journalism and how it connects residents with issues that have a direct impact on their lives,” Fox said. “While north Atlanta is hardly a small setting, its residents are affected by local issues decided by local leaders. I plan to bring those issues to light using our talented staff of award-winning reporters.”

Inventories define line between buyers’ and sellers’ market A couple weeks ago I talked about the housing market being a little Jekyll and Hyde, with lower-priced houses being in a sellers’ market and higherpriced houses being more in a buyers’ Geoff smith Assurance Financial, market. That article gsmith@lendtheway.com was more me going off articles I’ve been reading and gut-feelings. This one is about hard data. I turned to my friend Mitchell Palm with Smart Real Estate Data. Their company is based out of Atlanta and is one of the best resources for crunching local numbers, to the point of sometimes dialing those numbers down to specific neighborhoods. I asked him about my theory, and he didn’t waste two seconds before sending me data and graphs proving out that he had known for a while what I was just discovering. Palm uses months of inventory to determine whether a market is a buyers’ market or a sellers’ market. Months of inventory is the estimated number of months it would take to sell all of the houses currently listed in a given market. He said six months of inventory is what experts consider a healthy market, and that is what he says is the dividing line between the two markets. “We know that 81 percent of listing are under 6 months, or 81 percent of the homes for sale are considered to be in a sellers’ market,” he said. “Once you

reach beyond the $600,00 price-range the (inventory) levels rise exponentially.” The healthy market seems to be in the $600,000 to $800,000 price-range for the metro area. In that range, there is about seven months of inventory. But you start to go over that and those houses are sitting much longer. Houses listed over $1 million are sitting for almost a year, and those over $1.5 million are sitting for over a year and a half. On the flip side, the lower you go in price, the number of months on the market shrinks rapidly. Anything under $300,000 has two months of inventory, and two months of inventory is considered very unhealthy. In that price-range, buyers are fighting for the same houses, which is driving prices up and exacerbating the problem. There is a problem in Atlanta with what some call affordable housing. A significant percentage of the market wants to buy houses under $300,000. But over the last eight years, land has been so expensive, that builders have not been able to afford to buy the land and build houses in that price range and still make a profit. So there hasn’t been a lot of inventory added to the market. Now you have a lot of people fighting over the affordable market, and that is driving up prices on those homes, making them less affordable. I live in Roswell and was eating at a restaurant. From the time we ordered our food to the time it arrived was 45 minutes. The manager apologized and I asked him what the problem was. He said his turnover with chefs is so high because none

of them can afford to live in North Fulton and are having to drive an hour to get to work there. And it’s not worth it to them. It’s really strange how these things play out in our day-to-day lives. But inventory in those lower-priced markets is in trouble. If you are trying to buy a home priced from $100,000 to $200,000, there is only one month’s worth of supply. If two months is considered very unhealthy, one month is half of that. Palm said closings were slightly down over the last year, and he said there were two reasons for this: “sky-rocketing housing prices and rising mortgage rates — both of which lead to lack of affordability,” he said. That said, we’ve seen a dramatic decrease in rates over the last month shoving them back down just under 4 percent for a 30-year fixed mortgage, according to MortgageNewsDaily. “The falling mortgage rates should be the saving grace for the busy summer buying season of 2019,” Palm said.

The physicians are: Stanley M. Fineman, Erinn T. Gardner, Linda D. Guydon, Keith Lenchner, Kevin L. Schaffer, Kathleen A. Sheerin, David D. Tanner and John A. Zora. Atlanta magazine uses a database of top doctors compiled by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., an established healthcare research company based in New York, to assist in its annual effort. This year the publication honors 860 physicians.

Doctors are nominated for consideration through a nationwide survey and a peer nomination process open to licensed physicians in Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry and Rockdale counties. Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers then select the top doctors through a screening process that includes an evaluation of educational and experience.

Micro-managing your employees has consequences Having worked with small business owners for over 40 years, I have seen both positive and negative ways in which they manage their employees. How are you managing dick jones your employees? Founder & President Jones Simply Sales There are two extremes, and one of them is micro-managing your employees. In many cases, small business owners feel they need to micromanage their employees because it is the only way to ensure that they are doing their jobs correctly. Micro-managing employees often includes telling your employees what to do, how to do it and when to do it. If you’ve been in the military, then this approach is well known. It’s called a military model, and it works really well in that environment. Conversely, a military model in a small business most often is a “house of cards” for employees as it’s not a very fun environment to work in. A military model squashes creativity and an employee’s autonomy and is a complete impediment to high performing teams. A few years ago, the baby boomer generation was surpassed by the millennial generation, which has a very low tolerance for this type of work environment. While micro-managing employees in the past may have worked, it’s not going to in the future. Having the freedom to do your job and own your own performance is a much better environment to operate and grow your small business. If you’re a micro-managing small business owner, you’d better think twice about continuing this behavior.

There are many easy ways that you can improve your home Rawlings as listed below. Paint: A fresh, crisp coat of paint will go a long way and won’t break the bank. Not only can it help raise your home’s sales price, it is also one of the most effective and affordable ways to modernize your home. Invest in new windows: Replace old windows before the cold winter months are here again. Energy-efficient windows are a great improvement that can help lower your energy costs in addition to

keeping your home warm and cozy during the winter. Stain Your Deck: Staining your deck is a wonderful way to revamp your home. After a long few months of wear and tear from rain, snow and sun, it can be time for a fresh coat of stain. This will help to maintain the deck’s surface over time and improve overall appearance. Fence Replacement: Getting a fence provides many benefits beyond curb appeal. A fence allows your animals to roam freely in the yard while also creating privacy and serving as a safety net for children to play during the warmer summer months. These summer home improvements will not only give your home an easy makeover for the summer, but can also boost the overall value of your home just in time for the fall market.

Milton student honored as Poet Laureate’s Prize finalist By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com

“Coconut Promises” by Aanika Eragam

MILTON, Ga. — Milton High School sophomore Aanika Eragam has been honored as a Georgia Poet Laureate’s Prize finalist. Gov. Brian Kemp and Georgia Poet Laureate Chelsea Rathburn, in collaboration with Georgia Council for the Arts recently announced the 2019 winner and finalists. Eragam is one of the four finalists. “It was very validating to know that someone had read my poem, and it resonated with them,” Eragam said. “It was nice to know that someone understood it, because poetry can be so out there.” The prize is awarded to a Georgia high school student for an original poem. Last year’s winner Dagmawit “Bessi” Adamu and the 2017 winner Max Morella are also from Milton High School. “Reading the submissions to the Poet Laureate Prize, I was amazed by both the quality and variety of poems being written by students across the state,” Rathburn said. “It’s clear that Georgia’s young poets have much to say about their experiences, their communities and the issues that matter to them, and that they have teachers who are dedicated to the literary arts… “What sets our prize winner and finalists apart is their awareness of what poetry can do over other forms of written expression. Their poems use surprising language, charged images and careful, expressive lines.” Eragam, who has a background in the sciences, said she started exploring the humanities last year and was inspired to try a new form of writing when she entered the contest.

Milton High School rising sophomore Aanika Eragam is a finalist of the Georgia Poet Laureate’s Prize for her poem “Coconut Promises.” “I wanted to challenge myself and do something different,” she said. “[Poetry] is not a set way or pattern of writing.

Before she left, Mother packed her promises in a coconut, told me not to break it till she was gone. So when she was, I cracked the hickory shell open, held its splintered pieces in my hands. But I never found the awaited meat, ebony and cream, glistening, glimmering— no, only decaying flesh, charcoal and burnt, like her promises, which I’ve begun stashing in the coffee jar she kept in the kitchen. It’s growing rather fast, my collection, of all the things she’s broken with each missed birthday, missed phone call, missed graduation, you see, my mother was always clumsy. But she comes back like a tidal wave each time I want to forget her, shadow dancing in the fog of cigarette puffs, broken glass, abandoned car lots. She is there— lingering, loitering, behind every street sign, every lamppost, every crumbling home. And it would be so easy if I could hate her so much it didn’t hurt each time I heard her name or love her so much it didn’t matter— but it does. I am in limbo, and I cannot walk this tightrope knowing she will not be there to catch me if I fall. And I know she cannot be caged, cannot be anchored to this family that is not a family anymore, just withering remains, decaying so slowly people think it’s just the flush of the season. I want to ask her if she remembers who I am, the soft syllables of my name, the color of my skin, my hair. I want to ask her because I know each valley of her body, more than I know the air I breathe. And some days, I hide under her covers and inhale her memory, pale and haunting, minty, she smells like fresh rain and inebriated smog. I miss her like the Sun misses the Moon each night, the sand the sea. I miss her but I don’t want her back. I have no more pieces left for her to break.

ful, just because you’re not in a mold. You don’t have to write in a certain way.” Her poem “Coconut Promises” was inspired by a book she had recently read that featured a distant relationship between the main character and her mother. “I see that a lot in media,” Eragam said. “I thought it would be very interesting to write a poem from that perspective, because I, personally, have never had a relationship like that. I wanted to see how I could portray a relationship

that was more distant and the opposite of what I’m used to. I wanted to put myself into the mind of another person.” She chose the coconut as a symbol for that distant relationship. “In my culture, a coconut, when you crack it, if the inside is white and shining, that’s a good omen,” Eragam said. “If it’s bad and decayed, that’s a bad omen. I wanted the coconut to be a metaphor or representation of the promises the mother had broken.” Eragam, an avid reader, said she will write more poetry and wants to try other forms of writing, such as fiction. “Poetry is a wonderful form of art and expression,” she said. “The inspiration has to hit you. I don’t know exactly where I’ll go with it, but I’d like to keep writing in the future.” This year’s Poet Laureate’s Prize winner is Marylou Sutherland from Hillgrove High School for her poem “until i am.” The other three finalists are: • Rohini Bose from Lambert High School for her poem “Racehorses!” • Jenna Keeler from Cass High School for her poem “love letter to the girl I will be” • Sarah Lao from Westminster Schools for her poem “Room” To learn more about the Poet Laureate’s Prize and read this year’s poems, visit gaarts.org.

Milton celebrates Independence Day By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. â€” Milton residents turned out to walk, trot, bike, trike, stroll and roll at the annual Independence Day Walking Parade June 29. Organized by the city and the Crabapple Community Association, the annual event brings together the community as families parade through Crabapple Station and Crabapple Crossing neighborhoods. The parade was led by a Milton Fire Department engine with a Milton Police cruiser backing up the procession. After the parade, there were family games, face-painting, animals and snacks at the Broadwell Pavilion.

Area graduates include 2019 National Merit scholars By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com

More than 50 recent graduates of area high schools were named National Merit Scholars for 2019, receiving scholarship funds to use for their college education. Fewer than 1 percent of graduating seniors across the nation received National Merit distinction. Cliff Jones, chief academic officer for Fulton County Schools, noted the achievements of these students highlight the success of the district’s focus on academics. “We are extremely proud of our Fulton students who have achieved excellence and are being recognized through the National Merit Scholarship Corporation,” said Jones. “These students have proven themselves to be academically talented and nationally competitive.” The scholarship awards were distributed in three rounds. The first awards in April were corporate-sponsored scholarships financed by corporations, company founda-

tions and other business organizations. Of the 1,000 scholarships awarded in this round, 18 went to Fulton Schools’ students. Qualifying students were identified through exceptionally high scores on the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The second group of winners, which included 15 Fulton Schools graduates, were awarded the Nation Merit Scholar distinction in May. The award includes a $2,500 cash scholarship to use at a college or university of their choice. Scholars were selected by a committee of college admissions officers and high school counselors, tasked with reviewing academic records, standardized test scores, contributions and examples of leadership, a written essay and a recommendation by a high school official. The third pool of 3,500 National Merit scholars were announced in June and included 18 Fulton graduates who received college-sponsored scholarships. Officials of each sponsor college selected

their winners from among the previously announced finalists who plan to attend their institution. These awards provide between $500 and $2,000 annually for up to four years of undergraduate study at the institution ﬁnancing the scholarship. Additional recipients of college-sponsored awards will be announced July 15, bringing the total number of collegesponsored Merit Scholarship recipients in the 2019 competition to about 4,100. 2019 National Merit Scholars from Fulton County Schools: Corporate-sponsored award winners Alpharetta - Sidhesh Desai, Justin Zandstra Chattahoochee - Andy Luo, Brandon Wei, Harrison Feng Zhu Johns Creek - Tyler Bierfreund Milton - Niraj Jinan, Erin Joyce Northview - Safa Ahmed, Alina Baiju, Sruti Chitluri, Constantin Claassen, Annie Feng, Evan Ouyang, Priya Rajeev, Richa Sehgal,
