Lambert’s Jake Stanford is guarded by Pope’s Drew Arrington
during the Class A-AAAA state championship game Saturday.
The facility was closed for about
eight weeks to receive several
upgrades.
The center is used by the hospital
for training and blood drives and
by numerous nonprofit organiza
tions for meetings and events.
The late Bennett and his widow,
Teresa, who attended the ceremo
ny with their two grown children
and five grandchildren, were
longtime supporters of the hospi
tal and numerous community
organizations.
“Everett didn’t know how to stop
when it came to the good of
Forsyth County because his heart
always belonged to this county,”
said George Ivey, retired marketing
director for the hospital.
Bennett’s son, David Bennett,
thanked the attendees at the cere
mony on behalf of the family.
“Dad fought the good fight and
he did finish the race as a great
man.”

New parks debut
By Alyssa Laßenzie
alurmioflomow&w)
Forsyth County officlals in suits and heels
flashed big smiles as the sprinklers turned on
behind them.
The children running into the Old Atlanta
Park spray pad for the first time Friday meant
the couaty's fourth new park in the past week
had opened to the public.
The county has also welcomed three other
green space sites, including Caney Creek
Preserve on June 22 and Haw Creek Park and
Chattahoochee Pointe on Thursday.
At the last of the week’s ceremonies, commis
sion Chairman Jim Boss extended appreciation
to the county staff and contractors who worked
to get the parks opened, as well as voters who in
2008 approved the funding that brought the
parks to life.
The four south Forsyth properties, totaling
more than 300 acres, were purchased using
the SIOO million parks, recreation and green
space bond. Their construction was funded
with bond money, 1-cent sales tax revenue
and impact fees, which are paid by develop
ers.
“It's always great when the county can make
a new amenity available for its residents,” Boss
said. “It's even better when we can do that four
times in cne week.”
Jean Gafford, who lives within walking dis
tance of Haw Creek Park, said the neighbors
were included in the process of designing a
park that preserves the site’s natural beauty.
“The county commission did a good job of
going back and forth with the residents,”
Gafford said.
