Sandy Springs family experience features spectrum of MLK legacy

By WENDY EDWARDS newsroom@appenmedia.com

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center hosted the MLK Life & Legacy Family Experience event, celebrating the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Jan. 19.

Attendees had the opportunity to view the Emmy-nominated film “Our Friend, Martin,” an

animated film about two friends who travel through time, meeting King at various points on his journey. Additionally, six activity stations placed throughout the atrium helped reinforce the ideals King championed.

Children flocked to the “Justice” station where they decorated a bookmark including the quote, “The time is always right to do what is right.” At the “Dream”

station, children completed a Dream Cloud craft to share their hopes for the future. The “Community” station included a large mural that attendees contributed to through drawings and color.

Families who attended said they were inspired by the gathering and hope to pass on King’s ideals to future generations.

North Springs falls to dominant Tucker

By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com

TUCKER, Ga. — Tucker

High School held visiting North Springs boys and girls basketball teams to just over 60 points combined in two dominant wins Jan. 20.

Tucker, North Springs and eight other schools are competing for four spots in the state tournament.

Region 5 of 4A boasts several teams ranked in the state and the No. 1 girls player in the class of 2026, Kate Harpring, who scored her 3,000th career

point for Marist the same night.

The girls faced off first, and after making the first basket of the game, North Springs did not lead again for almost the entire 32 minutes of play. Tucker emerged victorious, 48-29. North Springs, with a number of multi-sport athletes, struggled to get their offense flowing.

Senior Alanna Moran led the team with 13 points in the loss. She also has varsity letters in volleyball and flag football.

Continuum of Care to maintain housing project applications

By AMRITHA ALLADI JOSEPH newsroom@appenmedia.com

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Amid a climate of federal cutbacks in social spending, the Fulton County Continuum of Care Board of Directors voted Jan. 15 to continue its push for grant funding to help in its fight against homelessness.

Right now, the organization is operating with a loose consortium of agencies and civic groups to address the needs of the homeless. It is seeking federal money to help solidify its efforts into a coordinated countywide action plan.

The Fulton County Continuum of Care (CoC) Board voted on Thursday to move forward with its previously

approved housing project applications for Fiscal Year 2025, opting for continuity amid major federal policy shifts.

At its most recent meeting held virtually, the board approved continuing all projects originally planned for the 2024–2025 funding cycle under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Fiscal Year 2025 Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The decision allows Fulton County to submit all 24 existing renewal applications without changes, reallocations or funding reductions.

“What the Continuum of Care was originally allocated for 2024 and 2025, we’re just going to keep going with that,” said board Vice Chairperson Tanya Morris, noting that anticipated changes

in fiscal year 2025 make this a year to avoid restructuring programs.

HUD released the fiscal 2025 notice on November 13, 2025, which included significant changes to prior years’ COC program rules, including the elimination of standalone transitional housing and street outreach programs, as well as proposed caps reducing permanent housing funding to 30 percent of a COC’s allocation, according to the National Association of Counties. Those changes prompted a lawsuit by national homelessness advocacy organizations, causing HUD to temporarily pause on the 2025 proposed changes and restore the prior year grant rules. A revised NOFO has been released for public review but remains inactive due to ongoing litigation.

Looking ahead, the Fulton board anticipates that the 2026 notice, which is expected as early as spring, will largely mirror the 2025 framework, including permanent housing caps. As a result, members cautioned against making major changes now only to face stricter requirements next year.

Beyond funding decisions, the board discussed broader homelessness challenges across Fulton County. Secretary Sheila Louder said she is wary that major international events, such as the FIFA World Cup games that Atlanta will host later this year, tend to draw temporary support for removing homeless individuals from the streets “for show.”

Broker finds new life helping people realize dreams

By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — After the Great Recession, Steve Beecham found himself at a crossroads.

For the Alpharetta mortgage broker, the global market decline of 2007-2009 meant a dramatic dip in business, losing his office near Haynes Bridge Road and moving into his parents’ home.

“I went from living in a million-dollar house to living in my mama’s basement,” Beecham said. “I lost everything.”

The professional crisis was so severe that he found himself asking what he was doing with his life.

“I’m sitting here doing no business, got no money coming in, and so I started thinking, ‘Do I really want to be in this business?’” Beecham said.

Standing in the wreckage of a firm he had built over years, Beecham began to think about what mattered the most to him. The answer he found had little to do with mortgages and everything to do with people.

“My purpose is to help people get from where they are to where they want to go,” he said.

More than 15 years later, that perspective has served the longtime Alpharetta resident well. His business Home Town Mortgage is back on its feet, and Beecham has found new purpose in serving his community.

Behind his home at 199 Academy St., Beecham’s office bears little resemblance to the garage he renovated and repurposed. The room, which he affectionately calls a “man cave,” is where he gets much of his work done.

Framed awards and profile articles line the walls amid trophy mounts of snow geese, an impala, warthog, stags and other game he hunted himself. On a coffee table lay the four books he has authored. Along the top of another wall stretches his name spelled out in green letters, the sign from his first business, a men’s clothing store.

On his desk, where he often resides with feet propped up, sits a multi-screen computer with whatever catches his interest – newsletters on writing and networking or financial data. Behind him along the rear wall, are two barrels

of custom bourbon he commissioned from a Thomasville distiller.

The handsomely decorated office is well suited for meeting clients, but Beecham says most prefer to consult over the phone. Customers have changed with the times, and first-time home buyers now make up a significant portion of his business.

Beecham said it’s important to meet those younger families on their own terms, many of whom grew up in the digital age and prefer doing their own research. Instead of simply explaining principles like property taxes and homeowners insurance, he sometimes

Director Stanley Wilson said that if such events create opportunities to address homelessness, “you take what you can get.”

The board also agreed to solicit feedback from the full CoC membership on its draft strategic plan. Louder emphasized that any strategy should include stronger engagement with elected officials and expanded access

“I say that I’m open 24/7 like Waffle House,” he said.

Building trust is a new priority for Beecham, who said he focuses now on relationships rather than deals. The financial assistance he provides is less about commissions and more about the satisfaction from seeing clients succeed.

“Relationships are what drives everything, and they’re based on trust,” he said. “The whole thing rotates around helping other people.”

He also has applied that philosophy to his place within the Alpharetta community.

Beecham decided he wanted to share his love for music by creating concerts for community members. He helped start the concert series On The Green and Under the Stars as a way to give artists a platform and provide residents an after-hours escape.

Seeing his neighbors dance and gather at the downtown events has been a real joy, giving a level of satisfaction that surprised him.

Beecham said he has thought about retirement, but he’s realized two things. He loves his work, and he has a lot more to do.

Looking forward, he said he has a plan to create a new business that can simultaneously fill a financial hole in the city while helping residents and businesses actualize their dreams.

He has rented an Alpharetta building that he hopes to soon transform into a community bank.

tactfully guides the conversation to ensure they are abreast of the topics.

“They don’t want to ask, so what you do is say, ‘Hey, do you know anything about property tax? You’re gonna have to get homeowners insurance,’” he said. “Do you know what that covers and how that works?”

Beecham said he prefers to treat business as a relationship, inviting clients to call or text him at any hour with questions. Recently, he received a text about 10 p.m. from a woman asking about a wire transfer. Beecham, who was relaxing at home watching TV, happily obliged.

in South Fulton. Louder questioned whether the South Fulton Homeless Assessment Center is adequately meeting local needs, citing limited hours.

“The times I’ve been there no one has been there,” Louder said, adding that she has observed police officers paying out of pocket for hotel rooms to accommodate homeless individuals

Unlike a regional and national bank, a community bank is better positioned to make modest loans to small businesses and individuals, he said. Larger banks are often less incentivized to make those loans, but for small businesses they can be transformative.

“Say you’ve got a business, and you’re a landscaper and you need another truck or a bulldozer, or you’re a restaurant, and you want to remodel,” he said. “These people are frustrated.”

As Beecham continues building his mortgage business and raising capital for his bank, he said he remains focused on his guiding principles.

“The essence of the purpose is, ‘How can I help my fellow man?’” he said. “I’m looking for ways to give.”

encountered after hours. A facility open from 9 a.m. to 9 a.m. would better address locals’ needs, she said.

Board Chairperson Maggie Goldman said the strategic plan addresses high-level priorities, but specific implementation of the plan, such as the actions outlined by Louder, would need to be addressed by the committees designated in the plan.

Legislature continues focus on big tech’s effect on kids

By TY TAGAMI Capitol Beat

ATLANTA — Big tech has reached so far into the lives of children that some Georgia lawmakers want to push back.

After legal missteps to restrain the industry, the State Senate got new recommendations this month from a study committee that heard grim stories about the impact of social media and other platforms.

Among those who testified were parents of children who died by suicide after extensive use of social media and experts who spoke of an escalating mental health crisis after the merger of two technologies.

“Smartphones and social media, they take the person who is vulnerable, who is struggling mentally, and further isolate and distance them from real human relationships,” Dr. Stan Sonu, a medical director at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, told senators at a hearing at the state Capitol in November.

He described a patient who had become withdrawn over the past year, burying his head in TikTok videos. He said the boy had high scores for anxiety, depression and thoughts of self-harm despite a calm demeanor.

Sonu said he initially dismissed the changed behavior, ascribing it to teen angst. Then, the 12-year-old disclosed what had been bothering him: other boys had made him watch sex videos in the school cafeteria, bullying him afterward because of his discomfort.

Sonu said the boy had been using social media to self-medicate.

“Social media is, and I don’t say this lightly, it is legalized digital heroin,” Sonu told the senators. “By leveraging neuroscience to grab a hold of our attention, it promotes this powerful illusion that your real-life problems can be pushed aside.”

The committee is picking up the pieces after the tech industry torpedoed the General Assembly’s last attempt to rein in social media.

The Protecting Georgia’s Children on Social Media Act sailed into law with broad bipartisan support last year, but an advocacy group for tech companies sued.

A federal judge for the Northern District of Georgia ruled in June that the plaintiff was likely to prevail on claims that the law violated the First Amendment’s speech protections. She issued a preliminary injunction against enforcement.

The law required social media companies to make “commercially reasonable efforts” to verify users’ age, and it mandated parent consent for those under 16. It also banned advertising to children.

It had been a priority for Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, a Republican who is now running for governor.

Jones authorized the bipartisan committee — co-led by a Democrat and a Republican — that issued new legislative recommendations in late December.

The committee proposed a prohibition on addictive platform design, stricter data privacy and making artificial intelligence platforms subject to product liability laws.

The committee also backed measures to empower parents, such as a proposal that social media companies secure parent consent before letting minors access their platforms. But that would require age verification by everyone, like the mandate that prompted the federal judge to sideline last year’s law on the grounds that it was a “severe burden” on adults to require them to prove their age.

The committee also recommended expanding on a measure that will go into effect next fall: a prohibition on student use of personal digital devices in public elementary and middle schools. The committee recommended extending the ban to high schools.

Keturah Guary moved to Sandy Springs from California five years ago and takes every opportunity to educate her daughter, Azaya, about the importance of freedom, equality and liberty.

“I grew up with a diverse group of friends, but my daughter grew up in Georgia with people who mostly looked like her,” Guary said. “I wanted to instill in her that no matter who you see around you, we should embrace everybody. We are to treat people like we want to be treated. That is the top rule in my house.”

Guary’s daughter brought her friends, coloring a large mural that will be displayed.

“Dr. King taught me to be bold,” Azaya said as she happily moved from one activity station to another.

Now in its 21st year, the celebration is Sandy Springs’ longestrunning city-sponsored event. City Councilman John Paulson said he was proud to have been involved since its beginning.

“This is the first city event we ever started after we became a city, so this has been an annual event since 2006,” he said. “We used to have a series of speakers; however, in recent years we’ve moved to a movie format with an

It seemed as if all-region softball player Leila Madesko was heating up when she hit a deep 3-pointer as a second Tucker defender came to close out on the shot. She wasn’t able to connect on another bucket afterward but posted three rebounds and three assists to boost her team.

Malaysia Buford provided a spark of athleticism and put up four points for the Spartans.

The first quarter was a low-scoring affair, sitting at 7-2 going into the second frame. Both teams took their time to find some rhythm, but in the second half Tucker left North Springs in the dust after holding them to less than 10 points in the first two quarters.

Tucker tripled their first half score by the end of the fourth period, never allowing the lead to slip significantly.

Senior Jonna Snelling led Tucker with 18 points and four assists off the bench. Snelling’s older brother, Asher Woods, is a starting guard and 1,000-point scorer at Tulane University.

Guard Harmonie Cooper was right behind with 16 points, six rebounds and eight assists.

Tucker had two players in doubledigits for rebounds – senior captain Elaina Parker with 12 and junior Mya Sales with 10.

Tucker head coach Shana Herman said Madesko has hit shots like the deep 3 for the last three years matching up.

Herman said once the Tigers started playing aggressive team defense and involving all five players on the court, they got more opportunities.

“Defense has been our main focus for the last three games,” she said. “I’m just trying to build us to get a little tougher, and the transition is gelling a little bit more.”

Herman shared her pride in what the upperclassmen have accomplished in her three years as head coach, and she complimented the freshman class which is “eager and working really hard to build on what the upperclassmen have started.”

In the boys matchup, North Springs also connected on the first bucket , but never saw the lead again.

“The way you combat that is to start with kids and make sure they understand the opposite of hate,” he said. “That’s what we’re doing today, and we will continue to do that throughout the year.”

said Adrian plays better when on the court with his brother.

Both twins have received recruiting attention, but all of Tucker’s seniors remain unsigned despite offers. Hartry said he believes in their abilities at the next level.

With point guard JaKobe Williams out due to a knee injury, Adrian stepped up along with underclassmen guards Vance Wilder Jr. and Sterling Pritchett.

Pritchett led the Tigers with 14 points, and Wilder Jr. poured in 10 in the first half. Center Julian Glenewinkel posted 10 points, nine rebounds and a block.

After starting at Tucker as an assistant coach in 1997, Hartry announced his retirement this week to conclude a legendary career in DeKalb County. He has spent 26 years as Tucker’s head coach.

“I’m not getting any younger,” he told Appen Media. “That’s just the way the ball bounce.”

He looks forward to getting Hawks season tickets and spending more time with his family in his new stage of life.

Assistant coach Cameron Tatum, who was coached by Hartry on the 2005 team that made the title game, is poised to take Hartry’s place.

Some libraries aren’t just for books; some lend seeds

The local library is a great way to get involved with your community. They offer all kinds of events and activities. I enjoy being at the library so much I decided to volunteer there. While I was volunteering at the Roswell Public Library, I became aware of their seed library. Being a Master Gardener, this grabbed my attention.

To learn more about the Roswell Seed Library, I interviewed the library staff currently responsible for maintaining it. Here’s what I learned:

Q: Why was the seed library created at the Roswell Library?

A: The Roswell seed library, like most seed libraries, was developed to inspire people to grow their own food, explore healthy eating, learn about the environment and connect library resources with hands-on activities. By freely offering seeds to the community, the library promotes learning, self-reliance and the joy of sharing.

In doing some research I discovered that seed libraries started taking off in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic when everyone was stuck at home. The first public library in the United States to start a seed library was the New York Public Library in 2004. Today there are over 500 volunteer-run seed libraries available worldwide.

Q: Is Roswell the only Fulton County library with a seed library?

A: No — Alpharetta, Milton, Sandy Springs and Adamsville-Collier Heights all have seed libraries. However, Roswell’s newly revitalized program introduces unique features and practices that set it apart.

Q: How does the seed library work?

A: Unlike traditional library materials, the Roswell seed library is open to everyone. No library card is required. Families can check out up to five seed packets per month, with a limit of one packet per variety. To participate, visitors simply record their selections on the sign-out sheet adjacent to the seed library, which is housed in a vintage card catalog. The program operates on an honor system and no seed or harvest returns are required. Seed library policies and procedures may vary from library to library.

Q: What type of seeds are typically available at the Roswell seed library?

A: The collection includes a wide

The Roswell Seed Library freely offers seeds to the community and is hosting a Seed Swap Jan. 30.

selection of seeds for fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers, which offer residents the opportunity to grow everything from kitchen staples to colorful blooms.

Q: What other resources and services does the Roswell library provide in coordination with their seed library?

A: To help gardeners choose the right seeds, the library offers a comprehensive seed catalog, complete with visual guides showing what type of plant each seed produces and additional details about each variety, such as growth habits and ideal planting conditions. Monthly planting and gardening calendars are also available to help residents plan and maintain their gardens. There’s typically a variety of seasonal gardening books as well as cookbooks on display.

Plus, there’s always something new to surprise and delight at the Roswell seed library: seedling giveaways and a pumpkin raffle in October. Monthly limited-edition, themed grab-and-go seed bundles are popular and are available while supplies last. Examples of past seed bundles include: a taco pack (jalapenos, tomatoes and cilantro), a pickling pack (broccoli, carrots and cabbage), and a pizza pack (peppers, basil and tomatoes). Each pack includes a sample recipe.

Q: Are seed donations accepted?

A: Seed donations are not currently being accepted, due to some licensing/

patent restrictions and fear of spreading disease. However, patrons are encouraged to bring any leftover seeds they have harvested or any store-bought seed packets to periodic seed swap programs hosted at Roswell Library. Seeds should be dried and packaged in small containers with pertinent growing information prior to the event.

Q: When’s the next seed swap?

A: National Seed Swap Day is celebrated on the last Saturday of January. To honor this tradition of swapping seeds with neighbors, the Roswell Library will host a Seed Swap on Friday, January 30, 2026. It’s a day for gardeners to gather to swap seeds, share gardening tips and prepare for spring planting.

The library plans to have seeds available and will offer raffles and prizes to those who attend. In addition, North Fulton Master Gardeners will offer advice and be available to answer questions. Any gardener who attends is encouraged to bring their gardening stories and photos to share.

OPINION

Some interesting facts about our local area

So, I have wanted to write a census column –or columns - for quite some time. I just have the idea that with enough digging, that there is some good stuff buried in all the data. So, I started looking just after the new year. Most of the data I have been mining is from the 2020 United States Census, so it is somewhat dated but still relevant.

I looked at data for four cities –Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek and Milton – for no particular reason other than they are in our distribution footprint. I really did not have a pre-conceived agenda as to what I was looking for other than to see if I could find interesting or surprising stuff. Most of my data came from QuickFacts.census. gov and some came from Claude –Anthropic’s Ai app.

Factoid 1: One of my cities is not majority white! Any guess? The answer would be Johns Creek. According to the 2020 census data the city is composed of 49.8% white

and 50.02% every other race. The other 3 cities ranged from 65% white in Roswell to mid 50s in Milton and Alpharetta. “Asian” was the largest secondary percentage in Johns Creek at 28.3% followed by 20.7% in Alpharetta and 16.5% in Milton.

Related factoid: According to the U.S. Census Bureau (in 2012), the United States overall is projected to become a minority white nation around 2043, with non-Hispanic whites making up 49.7% of the population. Other projections which take immigration, birth and death rates into consideration suggest a slightly later date – around 2046 or 2047. According to Claude, at that time, our population breakdown will be:

Non-Hispanic white – 49.7%

Hispanic – 24.6%

Black – 13.1%

Asian – 7.9%

Multiracial – 3.8%

Factoid 2: One city had the highest percentage of households where a language other than English was spoken. Again, it’s Johns Creek at 37.6%. It is closely followed –surprisingly – by Alpharetta at 31.5%.

Factoid 3: The percentage of owner-occupied housing was highest

– again – in Johns Creek at 79.7%, followed by Milton at 73.8%, Roswell at 71.2% and Alpharetta at 68%. Go figure. Obviously, if it is not “owneroccupied,” it is rented.

Factoid 4: Which city has the highest percentage of adult residents who do not have health care coverage (as of 2020 data)? The answer was Roswell at 10.2%, followed by – surprise – Alpharetta at 6%, Milton at 5.3% and Johns Creek at 4.4%. According to Claude, in 2024, an estimated 8% (27.1 million people) of all Americans had no health care coverage, and among working age Americans (age 18-64), 11.6% (27.8 million) did not have health care coverage. Of note, there is a high correlation between race and whether or not someone has health care coverage. Hispanic adults have the highest uninsured rate at 23%, followed by Black adults at 12.3%, Asian adults at 6.9%, and white non-Hispanic adults at 6.8%.

Factoid 5: Which city has the highest “retail sales per capita” and why? The number one city – by a huge margin - is Alpharetta with an average retail sales per capita of $49,222, followed by Milton at $37,561, Johns Creek at $10,140

and Roswell at $8,909. Why? Johns Creek and Roswell have significantly higher average median household incomes, yet Alpharetta by far averages the highest sales per capita. The answer – I think – is that those numbers can be skewed when a city is a shopping destination for those who live outside the city; a city is a retail hub or a job engine; or the city has lots of big-ticket sales (like those generated by auto dealerships).

“Check” on all the above for Alpharetta, I guess.

Next census column we will look at trends in the demographics of the working age population. Is our workforce expanding or contracting? Why? Should we care? Stay tuned.

Lender for life, or just another transaction?

Global markets are increasingly signaling skepticism — not panic, but doubt — toward the optimistic economic narrative emanating from Washington. Despite enthusiastic declarations that the U.S. economy is the strongest in history, investor behavior suggests confidence is eroding rather than strengthening. A significant driver of this credibility gap is the persistent ambiguity surrounding trade policy. The on-again, off-again tariff rhetoric has left businesses, consumers and markets uncertain about who is actually bearing the cost, who is exempt, and how durable any policy framework truly is. Markets can price risk.

What they struggle to price is inconsistency. That uncertainty has been compounded by highly publicized policy proposals — such as the president’s suggestion that the U.S. Treasury could purchase up to $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities — without accompanying clarity on the legal authority, timing or implementation mechanics. When bold claims arrive without operational detail, skepticism is the rational market response. The result has been a measurable deterioration in sentiment. Mortgage rates have climbed back toward levels last seen in September of last year. Equity markets, including a Dow Jones Industrial Average that posted more than 50 record highs over the past year, have begun to surrender ground. These are not signs of euphoria; they are symptoms of hesitation.

More broadly, the real economy is showing signs of deceleration.

Regardless of political messaging, purchasing power has weakened.

A dollar simply does not stretch as far as it once did, and households — like my longtime bellwether, Joe Lunch Pail — are responding in the most rational way possible: by spending less. Reduced consumer demand naturally places downward pressure on prices. This is basic economics. Demand cools, prices follow.

Some observers have interpreted easing price pressures as evidence that recent policy shifts are successfully conquering inflation. The more plausible explanation is less flattering but more honest: prices are moderating because economic momentum is slowing. Lower prices may feel like relief at the checkout line, but they are not an unambiguous positive if they are the byproduct of weakening demand.

Until financial markets regain confidence in the coherence and

credibility of policy coming out of Washington, interest rates are likely to remain range-bound, drifting sideways rather than breaking meaningfully higher or lower. That prolonged rate stalemate will continue to sideline housing activity, which in turn reinforces the broader cooling trend across the economy.

In other words, the economy isn’t collapsing — but it isn’t accelerating either. And no amount of enthusiastic speechwriting can substitute for consistency, clarity and credibility.

A sport blows away the competition in Georgia

The fastest growing sport by far in Georgia and in all the United States is – you guessed it – pickleball.

The sport was invented in 1965 by three residents of Bainbridge Island, located a short ferry ride from Seattle, Washington. Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell and Barney McCallum wanted a new fun game with their children in mind, but one which adults could enjoy as well. According to the website Pickleball Yard, the three men tested and refined ideas over a summer. They lowered the net, used a plastic ball and cut simple paddles from plywood. Today paddles are generally made of graphite, and the balls, which are still plastic, are specially designed with as many as 40 round holes in them.

The men came up with rules: serves were underhand, the ball had to bounce on each side of the net to make play fair for all ages, and the court was small so the game was quick. The court is 20 by 44 feet, with a 7-foot “kitchen” on each side of the net with strict rules to prevent smashing the ball. For example, a player cannot volley while standing in the kitchen.

What started out as a backyard fun game using a badminton net, a wiffle ball, and ping-pong paddles has become a steamroller success story. Its wide acceptance is due to its easy playing, its quick learning and because people of all ages and levels of skill can play. The sport mixes elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong.

When pickleball came to Georgia in the early 1990s, it was most popular with active retirement communities, parks and recreation centers. The Atlanta area was one of the first to commit to the sport. The city of Macon strongly supported pickleball infrastructure and built the largest indoor pickleball facility in the world at the time.

In 1984 the first national oversight organization, the United States Amateur Pickleball Association (USAPA) was established. It later changed its name to USA Pickleball Association and finally in 2020 adopted its current name, USA Pickleball. It is the national governing body for the sport charged with guiding events

DEATH NOTICES

and setting the rules.

Estimates vary, but it is estimated that there may be more than 300 pickleball facilities in Georgia, including dedicated indoor clubs, parks and recreation centers and private clubs such as the YMCA.

It is not exactly clear how the sport got its name. The most likely version is that when pickleball grew in popularity the inventors give it its unique title inspired by boat rowing where the term "pickle boat" refers to the team that is made up of rowers passed over by other boats. The game was a mix of leftover equipment from several sports just like left over rowers.

One of the individuals responsible for the success of pickleball in Georgia is Alpharetta resident Chris Wolfe. As a youngster in Florida, Chris learned to play tennis. As a young adult he won two state championships. His first experience with pickleball was in Greensboro, North Carolina where he played in a senior center. “Players were in their 70s, and they were thriving,” Chris notes. For 15 years Chris was a morning show host on local radio stations in Florida, New Mexico, Minnesota and for two years on B98.5 in Atlanta.

In 2016 Chris moved to Georgia and helped build the sport in Atlanta. He was a

cofounder of Atlanta Pickleball Center and started a major pro-level tournament called the Atlanta Open which later changed its name to the Atlanta Slam. Today he is director of pickleball operations and a Master Instructor at the Atlanta National Pickleball Club in Alpharetta which opened in November, 2025 with 18 indoor courts.

Chris says “the beauty of pickleball is that it is not intimidating for newcomers to the sport. You can just pick it up and play a game. You don’t have to be a pro to play. It is primarily a social game for all ages.”

The sport keeps growing locally. Rena Millwood, who lives in Gainesville, is one example of a fan. “I would play every day if I could,” she says, but she does manage to play at least 3 to 5 times a week at various locations in Northeast Georgia. More importantly, she is opening a new pickleball facility in Flowery Branch this spring with her two partners Lew Halski who played professionally and ranked in singles and Trey Greene a local businessman. It is currently under construction. “It is called Around the Pickle and will have 18 indoor courts in 3 buildings and 12 outdoor courts,” Rena reports. She says, “the pickleball community is very welcoming. That is what makes it so wonderful.” For
