Milton police seized a laptop and various recordable discs, including multiple USBs and floppy discs.

A statement from the City of Milton said, “In addition to the open, child pornographic images found on the laptop, a preliminary search of one USB storage device recovered from the house yielded images of obvious child pornography.”

Pterygium – what is it and what can be done about it?

By Samir Vira, M.D.

Pterygium is a noncancerous growth on the surface of the eye. It appears as a wing-shaped fleshy growth that originates from the conjunctiva over the white part of the eye and extends into the cornea, the clear part of the eye. Also known as “surfer’s eye,” it can commonly occur in individuals who have prolonged exposure to sunlight, such as surfers, farmers, and construction workers. Besides UV light exposure, it is associated with windy and dusty exposure.

Individuals with pterygia can occasionally have no symptoms at all.

These individuals can simply be observed but are advised to protect themselves from UV light with polarized sunglasses. Symptoms can include redness, foreign body sensation, irritation, itching, and also blurred vision. Blurred vision usually occurs due to distortion of the cornea’s shape or rarely due to visual obstruction by the pterygium itself.

Mild symptoms can be treated easily with the use of lubricating drops or artificial tears. For redness associated with inflammation, your doctor may prescribe a short course of topical steroids. If the symptoms remain persistent or cause blurred vision, surgical intervention is indicated.

Pterygium surgery involves excision or removal of the lesion, followed by coverage of the resulting defect with the individual’s own healthy conjunctiva (conjunctival autograft) or preserved amniotic membrane obtained from donated human placenta tissue. This may be accompanied with the use of an anti-scarring medication called mitomycin-C during the surgery. Surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure with topical and local anesthesia. Mild intravenous sedative medication may be given to keep the patient relaxed through the surgery. After the procedure, the eye may be patched temporarily to minimize any residual bleeding.

During the recovery period, patients may experience mild irritation, blurred vision, and redness around the eye. However, patients can return to normal activities, such as driving, work, and school, within the first few days. Full recovery can take several weeks to about a month.

Patients are also instructed to use antibiotic and steroid drops for the first 1-2 months to prevent infection, reduce inflammation, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Complications, such as infection, are rare but patients should be aware of the risk of recurrence. The risk of a recurring pterygium can be as high as 50% without the use of a conjunctival autograft or amniotic membrane. With the use of either tissue after pterygium excision, the risk is reduced to about 5-10%. Recurrent pterygia are treated with similar surgical intervention.

Introducing Dr. Samir Vira to our Johns Creek location.

• Fellowship trained at Emory University in cornea, external disease, and refractive surgery • Board-certified • State-of-the-art surgery centers directly adjacent to many of our clinics providing the utmost convienience to our patients • Most advanced diagnostic and imaging technology At eighty-two years old, I never believed my eyes would be returned to such great sight. The surgery was a very easy experience, lasting just a few minutes with an easy recovery. By following exactly the very clear drop instructions, my eyesight continues to improve. Each day I thank the nurses, the associates, and my great doctor Samir Vira and then go outside and enjoy my new eyes.

MILTON, Ga. — In one day, Mill Springs Academy had to deal with three separate and devastating events that most schools rarely encounter.

On April 24, a freshman student was found dead after committing suicide. A student with the school’s track and field team collapsed in cardiac arrest. Another student was arrested on charges of statutory rape.

In response to these traumatic events, staff and members of Mill Springs’ Parent Volunteer Association (PVA) braved soggy conditions and downpours May 1 to show support for the students. Members of the PVA stood outside the school with signs stating “You Are Loved,” “You Matter” and “We are in your corner, rain or shine.”

Students were also greeted with signs of encouragement and support on every locker and around the campus on

Mill Springs Academy volunteers lined the school’s entrance May 1 after multiple devastating events on the same day shook the school. lampposts, railings and signs.

A statement from the school’s PVA said, “The goal of this campaign is to remind everyone at every turn that they are loved, valued, and not alone.”

The statement also addressed the reaction of parents and staff in a show of support through such trying times.

“It quickly became apparent that

the students were not the only ones who were impacted by these messages.

Nearly every adult that experienced this campaign of love was overwhelmed and many [were] moved to tears as they realized that they needed this support just as much as the students,” the statement said. The student who suffered cardiac arrest has recovered.

Michele McIntosh-Ross, Milton’s long-range planner

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Michele McIntosh-Ross is always looking to the future. As the city’s long-range planner, she manages the city’s comprehensive land use plan and small area vision studies, determining how certain areas of land should be used within the city and what impact they may have on the city’s future.

McIntosh-Ross said the importance of her work lies in documenting the future vision of the city and determining future development and conservation projects.

“Our work is rewarding because you’re always focused on the positives and the potential of a community,” McIntosh-Ross said.

Issues and problems will inevitably arise, she said, but it’s primarily about maximizing the city’s potential.

“And potential looks different for each community,” she said. “That’s what makes it so exciting.”

Being the long-range planner comes with a variety of different roles for McIntosh-Ross, who has been with Milton since 2008. She is also responsible for

Michele McIntosh-Ross serves as Milton’s long-range planner. She also coordinated the “Welcome to Milton” signs around the city. compiling the city’s annual submission for the State of the Capital Improvement Element to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, which gives the city the ability to set its impact fees. McIntosh-Ross implemented the Impact Fees Program, which offsets a portion or all of the costs of providing public services associated with a new or proposed development.

She also serves on the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Regional Land Use Coordinating Committee as well as

other development-related committees and groups for the area.

McIntosh-Ross also manages the city’s Green Communities program and the Transfer of Development Rights Program, which allows landowners the ability to waive the right to develop their land and to transfer those development rights to a different parcel of land.

“I’m proud of Milton’s vision for its future and how the community comes together to work toward that vision,” she said. “It will be incredibly rewarding to see Milton’s plans come to fruition.”

McIntosh-Ross is a graduate of Georgia State University and has a Master’s Degree in urban and economic geography. Prior to working with Milton, she worked as a planner with the City of Atlanta, Research Atlanta, Inc. and the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.

A mother of two, McIntosh-Ross said she doesn’t have much time for hobbies between tennis tournaments and ballet recitals, but she enjoys managing a garden of berries, grapes, vegetables and fruit trees. She also makes time to visit her home country of Trinidad.

OPINION

I’m still an Atlanta Thrashers fan

JOE PARKER

Reporter joe@appenmediagroup.com

When I turned 18, my father wrote on my birthday card, “Happy birthday. I love you. I hope it hurts like hell.” He wrote this final line in response to how I would be spending my birthday — having the Atlanta Thrashers logo

tattooed on my leg.

When I had proposed this idea to my family and friends in the months leading up to my 18th birthday, everyone raised their eyebrow in the same way people do when you are suddenly engulfed in a gaseous aroma in an elevator. Then they asked questions.

“But what happens if they change their logo?” Well, then I will have the original logo, I said.

“But what happens if you stop being a fan?” That’ll never happen, I responded. I’ll always be a fan.

“But what happens if the team gets sold and moved?” We are talking about the modern-day NHL, I said. Teams don’t just get sold and moved.

Hmm. I wish that last question and answer had been fabricated, but my father, the very man who wished me pain on my birthday, asked what would turn out to be a prophetic question.

When the Thrashers were sold in 2011, and subsequently left Atlanta faster than someone with pollen-sensitivity in April, I was understandable

Hey, where’d you get the new collar?

So with the NHL playoffs going full bore, this is a depressing time to be a Thrashers fan — watching and hearing the excitement in the stands as fans cheer on their team that they likely follow just as closely as I followed the Thrashers. devastated.

After all, this was my team. My team. And suddenly they were gone.

Non-sports fans may not be able to relate, but when you follow a team’s every game, every trade rumor, every draft pick and you celebrate every win with fervor and are crippled with depression at every loss, you have developed an amazing passion and dedication. And when it’s suddenly gone, entire kegs of beer cannot drown your sorrows (I know because I tried).

So with the NHL playoffs going full

Oh this? I got it at the phone store.

bore, this is a depressing time to be a Thrashers fan — watching and hearing the excitement in the stands as fans cheer on their team that they likely follow just as closely as I followed the Thrashers.

And yes, though the Thrashers only made the playoffs once — and were swept — I still like to imagine they would have made more playoff berths from 2011 to now. Then I look at the Winnipeg Jets, the relocated and rebranded Thrashers, and I realize that may not be true.

I tried to become a Jets’ fan. My thought was that this was essentially the Thrashers in a different city with different uniforms. But in the end, I had to come to the realization that I was trying to be a fan and was not actually invested. The change in city, and country for that matter, was too much.

My team was gone.

But every day I am reminded of my team as I look down to my right leg,

Why there?

because there it sits — the tattooed reminder of how much I love the Thrashers.

Of course I have become the butt of many jokes due to my tattoo, and truthfully, they still sting a little. But slowly but surely I’ve just started joking around as well, telling people I was a very early adopter of Tesla (the Tesla logo looks similar to the Thrashers logo).

Jokes aside, the Thrashers are still my team and I am still a fan. As I said when questioned, I will always be.

And no, the tattoo didn’t hurt. But looking at it now kind of does.

Because it came with collar I.D.

Gov. Deal breaks ground for Jackson Healthcare Officials praise expansion efforts

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Gov. Nathan Deal and nearly 1,000 politicians, guests and Jackson Healthcare employees gathered May 4 under one gigantic tent to celebrate the groundbreaking of Jackson’s $100 million expansion.

Despite the drizzling rain, spirits were high at Jackson Healthcare’s Alpharetta campus where the expansion will occur over the next 18 months: • A 267,000-square-foot, eight-story office building • A 39,000-square-foot, three-story amenities building • A parking deck with a capacity of 1,385 spaces.

The total expansion is some 309,000 square feet on the company’s 30-acre campus and will accommodate an estimated 1,400 new jobs as Jackson expands its health services companies.

In all, the campus will contain 509,000 square feet of development.

“This expansion is a great day for one of the greatest employers in the state,” Deal said. “It marks a great opportunity for more Georgians to get jobs.”

Jackson Healthcare has long been a stalwart supporter of providing the best working environment for its employees, having earned the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s designation as the Best Place to Work three times.

There is no telling what new classification the

HATCHER HURD/HERALD

Breaking ground on the $100M Jackson Healthcare expansion are from left, 6th Congressional District Republican candidate Karen Handel, company founder Rick Jackson, Gov. Nathan Dean, company President Shawn Jackson, North Fulton Chamber CEO Brandon Beach.

Chronicle will have to devise when Jackson unveils the 39,000-square-foot amenities building, built as a replica of the Roman Coliseum, to provide Jackson associates with state-of-the-art gym and workout facilities, grooming, fine dining and other amenities.

Jackson Healthcare President R. Shane Jackson said the new growth is a testament to the company’s employees’ “quest to improve.”

“We are stronger together. And tall buildings point to the skills of many,” Shane Jackson said. “Jackson

Healthcare is comprised of many individuals and what they uniquely bring to [the company].”

The new office building will house new companies and divisions within Jackson Healthcare as it expands in the coming months and years.

Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce CEO Brandon Beach hailed the groundbreaking as a “great day for North Fulton and the state.”

“Jackson Healthcare has business interests all over the country. But it is not by accident they are in Alpharetta. Here there is a government that provides low taxes, a well-trained work force and less regulation,” Beach said.

“In return, Jackson has been a powerhouse job creator for our region. This will be an iconic development for this area. Rick [Jackson, the company’s founder] always says, ‘Go big or go home.’ Whether it is about the issue of foster care in Georgia or building a great business, we thank Rick Jackson for all he has done.”

Rick Jackson said he has been by most definitions successful, but such accolades “are hollow.”

Rick Jackson said he wants his company to build a legacy.

“We want to leave a legacy of corporate philanthropy – not for public relations, but because it is the right thing to do,” he said.

He said he wants his company to be “a vessel from God to make a difference in the world.”

To that end, Jackson said his company is simply a means to that end.

“Our business is a means to an end of touching lives.”

BLACK BOX SPECIAL REPORT: JOURNALISM UNDER ATTACK GEORGIA, PART VIII

Texting tugs at spirit of Ga. Open Meetings Act Issue remains cloudy amid Sunshine Law

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com While Georgia’s Open Meetings Act ensures citizens a front-row seat to decisions that affect their lives, some practices have cast doubt on government’s commitment to transparency.

Technology provides ways to cloud the state’s Sunshine Laws, and one of the more prevalent methods of testing open meetings is the practice of texting.

That practice drew headlines last year. It was learned that Milton City Council members in April and June were texting with residents during lengthy debates over a zoning issue at council meetings.

Records show that supporters and opponents were regularly barraging Mayor Joe Lockwood and other council members with texts during the debate, coaching city leaders on which side to support. Some received replies – all out of view of other residents who either attended the meeting or were watching it streamed on their computers.

“Text messages, like any other documents generated during the course of conducting governmental business, are subject to disclosure under the Open Records Act,” said Hollie Manheimer, executive director of the Georgia First Amendment Foundation.

“To the extent public officials would text during the course of a public meeting instead of speaking to one another, it could be construed as an effort to circumvent the Open Meetings Act,” she said.

The purpose of both the Open Meetings and Open Records acts are to maximize public access to governmental proceedings — not allow public officials to hide behind them as a shield, Manheimer said.

Indeed, following the revelation of the Milton City Council texts, city leaders were provided an opportunity to outlaw the practice.

At a Sept. 7, 2016 meeting the City

The Milton City Council drew headlines in April and June of last year when councilmembers were texting residents during meetings.

Council considered a policy action to prohibit the use of cell phones during public meetings. That measure was defeated 4-3, with the majority saying that council members would police themselves.

Councilman Bill Lusk, who voted in the minority in favor of the ban, said carrying on private conversations during a public debate violates the state’s Open Meetings Act. Within weeks, then-Attorney General Sam Olens issued a statement through his office declaring the practice an attempt to subvert openness.

A spokesman for the attorney general said Olens had proposed language in the 2012 revision of the Open Meetings Act to address the issue, but legislators were opposed.

The Legislature itself is exempt from the Open Meetings Act. The public should demand better behavior from their elected officials, the attorney general’s office said back in September.

With the departure of Olens late last year, the state’s new Attorney General

Chris Carr has taken up the mantel.

Carr announced last month he will conduct an Open Government Tour throughout the state.

He will invite local officials to join him for a refresher course on their responsibilities to the public under the Georgia Open and Public Meetings Act. On the issue of texting, Carr’s office said the intent of the General Assembly in passing the Open Meetings Act is

to ensure that the public’s business is conducted in an open and accessible manner.

“Not only does such a requirement permit the people to know what actions their public servants are undertaking, but it also fosters public confidence in their leaders and the decisions that they make,” he said in a statement.

“The failure to serve those underlying purposes is not in keeping with the spirit of the Open Meetings Act.”

Alpharetta grant program targets downtown storefronts Alpharetta façade fund rewards upgrades

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Visitors to Downtown Alpharetta – if they turn their attention away from City Center — may have noticed a flurry of new frontage over the past few years. That’s thanks in large part to a local program that provides grants for property improvements.

The city’s Downtown Beautification and Façade Improvement Grant Program is an economic initiative that helps Downtown District business and property owners with expenses associated with improving the appearance of their storefronts.

The program reimburses businesses for a portion of the cost for frontage improvements in four categories: structural building improvements; street furniture; awnings, lighting and similar accoutrements; and signage (excluding window signs).

During its seven years, the program has paid out almost $95,000 to downtown merchants for frontage improvements, according to Peter Tokar, Alpharetta Economic Development director. To qualify for those grants, he said, downtown business owners spent close to $400,000 in frontage upgrades – a return of 4 to 1 on the city’s investment.

“The façade grant only pays for beautification elements on the outside of the building,” Tokar said.

“When you talk about total investment that it helped generate in the community, we’re talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

Funding is administered through the Alpharetta Downtown Partners Program, and the city can restrict the amount of funds awarded and paid during any given fiscal year.

The idea behind the program is that capital improvements increase property values, adding to the commercial tax base and generating more revenue for the city. They also presumably bring in more customers who pay sales taxes on the meals they eat and the

Downtown Alpharetta business owners have spent close to $400,000 in recent years to improve the appearance of their storefronts. The upgrades have been spurred in part by a city-sponsored program providing grants for certain façade improvements. products they buy.

The grant program was also created to improve the appearance and historic character of Downtown Alpharetta through the addition of contributing architectural and aesthetic features.

“The improvements that all the downtown merchants are making are creating a more aesthetically pleasing downtown,” Tokar said. “So if you have a downtown that looks better, you have a downtown that people want to go to. They don’t want to go to a building that’s falling down and crumbling. We’re basically putting the makeup on the buildings to make them look better, and then the owners are making investments on the interior as well.”

Those interior improvements – which are not eligible for grant funds – have ranged in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, Tokar said.

“The way the façade grant is structured, only certain things they do on the outside of the building qualify for the grant program,” Tokar said. “Interior buildout, like at South Main Kitchen and Butcher and Brew, all the work done inside – the tables, the remodel of the kitchen, the kitchen equipment – that’s not included in that number.”

The maximum award a business can receive is

$17,250, and the biggest bang for the buck comes in structural improvements where the city can reimburse up to $15,000 of a $30,000 project. Smokejack restaurant received $16,000 in grant funds for its recent frontage upgrade. Made Kitchen & Cocktails received the grant maximum after spending more than $90,000 on qualifying façade elements.

This does not include the hundreds of thousands of dollars these businesses spent on the interiors, which do not qualify for the grant, Tokar said.

In order to qualify for the façade grants, businesses or property owners in the Downtown District must first do the work, then submit invoices for the qualifying projects. The city then cross references the invoices with the Code Enforcement Department and Planning Department to ensure they meet design and building standards.

Tokar said the grant is for upgrades only. Grant money will not help pay to replace a damaged window. If, however, you replace all the windows with energy-efficient windows, or storm windows that’s an upgrade.

“The grant is specifically made for them to do more than what is just required of them by code or by maintenance standards.” Tokar said.

GEOFF SMITH

Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com

marketing media

I have been driving around a lot lately, looking at many of the newer communities in my northern suburbs.

And I have one question: is everyone turning 55 next year?

Driving down Ga. 92 from Woodstock to Roswell you will probably see four new neighborhoods, all for the 55-and- up crowd. Drive around a lot of other places and you’ll see the same. Clearly, there is a market for this. Banks are too strict these days to allow the frivolous building that went

on pre-2008.

My curiosity has been growing as I drive by these communities, initially just because this is a significant market trend that I as a real estate professional should take note and be aware of. But lately, it’s more because I’m not allowed in!

I am a young 42 years old and naturally, because I can’t buy in those communities, I’m curious to know what exactly is so great about them in the first place. Over the last several months I’ve read up on them and have talked to several friends who are either living in one of them, or are planning to move there.

I think the first attraction is living with folks who have a common lifestyle. My neighborhood is a mix of young families and empty-nesters. It was built in the late 1980s and is in a desirable location. So while we have many first generation homeowners, we also have many “young” families like mine who moved there in the last 10 years.

While we all get along for the most part, HOA meetings can get contentious. We young families want to spend money to improve all of the things that our children like to play on – the pool, the pool-house, the playground. The others don’t.

While we think our children are so cute and are good for the older folks in the neighborhood, I’m not sure they feel exactly the same way. Hence – the 55+, active adult communities.

What I’ve learned is that each community is different, but there are similar characteristics. They all seem to either be one-story, or have the master on the main. The yards are relatively small and easy to maintain. And they make an attempt to stress community activities. I think this is where each community can vary quite a bit.

Some communities actually have activities directors on site to coordinate card games, pot luck dinners, aerobics and other things.

I was talking with my good friend Donnie Restler last week. When he retired 11 years ago, he became a master

gardener. And he was excited about moving to a community in Forsyth County that had a community garden.

We’ve all talked for years about his amazing tomatoes.

They may not know it, but they will be excited to have him.

One thing that has caught some new homeowners off guard with these communities is the age difference. I talked to another couple who are 60 and recently moved into an active adult community where most everyone is over 80.

To them, that was a huge difference. From what I hear, the newer communities are going to have homeowners closer to the 55+ age while the older ones will have homeowners who have been there for a while. Makes sense.

So the amenities will run the gamut.

I read about one community in North Carolina that actually had a playground on it. It is an adult playground with various pull-up bars, punching bags, hand-ladders and other things. They are apparently popular in China and Japan.

For the under-$400,000 price range, we are incredibly low on inventory. And most of these active adult communities have houses under $400,000. So these communities are doing very well. Maybe 13 more years and I’ll be able to buy one.

What kind of media are you using to market your small business? Are you getting the results you anticipated? Have you wondered whether other media channels would be more effective?

Marketing your small business is essential to DICK JONES attracting new customFounder & President ers, and selecting the Jones Simply Sales best media channels is an important component of getting your message out.

There are four basic marketing medias: • Print media such as newspapers, magazines and flyers • Broadcast media such as radio and television • Outdoor media such as billboards and signs • Digital media such as websites, email and social sites While there are seemingly an infinite number of media channels, you probably don’t have infinite time or money to utilize every one. So how do you decide which ones to use?

The best starting point for selecting your marketing media is to determine who you want to reach and, more specifically, what media your target audience is most likely to see. Asking your current customers what they would prefer is a good starting point.

Are they more inclined to read the local paper, tune into local radio shows or notice outdoor ads? Are they using social media and, if so, which ones?

Depending on the answers to these questions, you can then assess the cost and potential “reach” you will receive, and select the media channels that give you the highest potential of getting your marketing messages seen. Selecting the best marketing media will strengthen your marketing effectiveness, and also increase the visibility of your small business to new customers.

Greater North Fulton business women honored Keynote speaker talks problems, history of women’s obstacles in business

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — While Alpharetta was named the best city for women entrepreneurs in 2015 by GoodCall, business is often still thought of as a man’s world.

In order to bring businesswomen together to network, share experiences and support each other, the fifth annual Women in Business event was held May 3 by the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce.

The event recognized four women nominated for honors as “Business Women of Excellence” and “JenLan Rising Star.”

They are: Business Woman of Excellence Award: • Winner: Debbie Vereb, executive vice president, Operations, SPH Analytics • Finalist: Cindy Hardy, regional director of Physician Relations, WellStar North Fulton Hospital The JenLan Rising Star Award: • Winner: Adilka Indhira White, director of Healthcare Solutions & Implementations, UPS • Finalist: Layne Kamsler, attorney, Hipes and Belle Isle Law Firm Keynote speaker Gail Evans was the first female vice president at CNN. The business world was created by men for men, she said.

“It’s not to be difficult,” she said.

“It’s because at the time most of our businesses were being built, there weren’t a lot of women out there.”

From studying business history, Evans said men are believed to be competent until they prove they’re incompetent. However, women are believed to be

Female entrepreneurs, CEOs and businesswomen gather to talk about their experiences in the workforce. the opposite.

The reality is these are the norms that have been established in our culture, she said.

“It’s important to understand this because I feel women in business keep waiting for things to change or women to assume more positions of power,” Evans said. “The good news is we have a room full today. But the bad news is the number of women in leadership or power is virtually unchanged in the

past decade.”

Evans said it’s hard to make a fundamental cultural change. She said she’s noticed that our language and the words we use in business make men more powerful and women less powerful.

Due to that, she said women are often described in the workforce as hardworking, dependable, collaborative, nice and smart. Men are often described as a leader, strategic and ambitious.

So when it comes time for one to get a promotion, she said the man is usually chosen due to those adjectives.

“It’s important to understand we live in a very ‘genderized’ world,” Evans said. “If we are going to succeed and change our culture, we need to look deep within ourselves and within society to understand this is what we learned from the day we were born.”

But the biggest thing for women in business to understand, Evans said, is that women need to begin to support each other.

“Don’t sit there and think, ‘what do I need to do?’” she said. “It’s ‘what do we need to do.’ How do we need to support each other so we don’t get caught up?

We need to forget the things we were taught as children that don’t support us getting to our dreams.”

GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA:

Have fun, be famous – check out the Georgia Bass Slam

I’ve been working downstairs this week, straightening up what’s going to be my new “writing” space. But digging it out has been an adventure.

It’s astounding how much stuff accuSTEVE HUDSON mulates, and you Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net don’t really even realize the magnitude of the task till you start trying to sort and organize. Some of you probably know exactly what I mean.

But I’m making headway. In fact, I’ve moved the furniture and I’m about ready to paint the walls. In just a few minutes I’m off to the hardware, bound for the paint department to choose a suitable color.

What color should I choose? Many factors enter into that important decision, not the least of which is what will be the best background for a framed “Georgia Bass Slam” certificate.

What’s the Georgia Bass Slam?

Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division has introduced the Georgia Bass Slam “to recognize anglers with the knowledge and skill to catch different species of bass in a variety of habitats across the state, while also stimulating interest in the conservation and management of black bass and their habitats.”

How does the program work?

It’s designed to recognize anglers in Georgia who, within a single calendar year, catch at least five of Georgia’s 10 different species of black bass (with “black bass” being the scientific catchall category which includes the various species that bass fishermen know and love).

Didn’t know that there were so many bass species in Georgia? Neither did I. Eligible species include largemouth bass, spotted bass, smallmouth bass, shoal bass, Suwannee bass, redeye bass, Chattahoochee bass, Tallapoosa bass, Altamaha bass and Bartrams bass. Various species are found in locations all over the state, and I can tell you now that half the fun here is going to be tracking down and fishing waters that I have not fished before.

“Black bass are the most sought after species in North America, and for the Georgia Bass Slam we recognize

ten different black bass,” says John Biagi, Chief of WRD Fisheries Management. “The Slam challenges anglers to explore new habitats and different techniques to go beyond the species they normally target.”

The Georgia Bass Slam rules are simple and straightforward. The fish must be legally caught on public water or on other water where you have permission to fish, and they must be of legal size if caught in waters where length restrictions apply. Where there are no minimum length limits, they have to be at least eight inches long.

To help you in your quest, Georgia DNR even provides an interactive map that not only helps you learn more about each bass species but also shows you the parts of the state where each of these bass species might be found. Check it out at georgiawildlife. com/fishing/angler-resources/GeorgiaBassSlam/SpeciesInformation.

After you catch each species, take several photos of the fish, including at least one photo of you with the fish plus one photo of the fish next to a measuring tape or on a measuring board, to confirm the species. Then simply email the photos to Georgia.

BassSlam@dnr.ga.gov by midnight on Dec. 31. Be sure to include your name, fishing license number, length of the fish, weight if available and the name of the county and of the lake or stream where you caught it.

If you’re not sure of the species, you can still send it in and the experts at DNR will identify the fish from the pho-

tos and location info that you provide.

When you complete your Georgia Bass Slam, you will earn in addition to that personalized certificate for your wall two passes to the Go Fish Education Center and an assortment of stickers which will let you proclaim your achievement. You’ll also be recognized on the DNR website, at the Go Fish Education Center and elsewhere. You’ll be famous! In addition, all successful submissions for the calendar year will go into a drawing for an annual grand prize.

So that’s my new goal for 2017, kind of a second-quarter New Year’s Resolution if you will. I’m going to go out there and find those bass and earn that certificate. It sounds like fun and high adventure too.

Now off the hardware store for that paint so I’ll have a place to put that certificate.

Some of these bass, including largemouth and shoal bass, can be found in the Chattahoochee River right here in Atlanta.

Learn about some of the hiking trails that help you access the river in Steve Hudson’s book “HIKING THE HOOCH,” available from local outfitters and on Amazon.

Signed copies are available direct from the author at www. chattahoocheemedia.com.

The New Strong Gaining Control over Your Fitness and Your Life

For many people, aging equals lower metabolism, weight gain and less energy for activities you enjoy. This is directly related to loss of lean muscle.

While you can’t avoid getting older, there are some steps you can take to stop the process of muscle loss and start rebuilding healthy, lean muscle. It doesn’t matter how old you are or whether you haven’t exercised in years. You can still regain lean muscle that improves your shape and increases your metabolism.

Our downfall is inactivity. Too much sitting is the new smoking. Our bodies were meant to be active, stay active and be strong.

When we stop doing meaningful exercise, we lose ground.

What is meaningful exercise?

A critical component of stimulating the improvements we seek from exercise is the achievement of momentary muscular failure

in each exercise performed. With steadystate activities, like walking on a treadmill or biking, there is no momentary muscular failure involved.

Unless activity is demanding, it is practically worthless from an exercise perspective.

However, if an activity is sufficiently demanding to take the targeted muscles to momentary failure, then it qualifies as meaningful exercise. Muscle failure should be viewed as a means of signaling the body that it needs to get stronger in order to meet the demands being placed upon it.

What is the SuperSlow Zone solution?

The SuperSlow Zone protocol is the original and genuine slow-motion, personal strength training workout. The exercise protocol has been proven successful in both building muscle and increasing resting metabolism, thus allowing the body to burn more calories at rest.

SuperSlow Zone provides a safe and effective workout in a short amount of time so that you can get in, get out, and get on with your busy life!

SuperSlow Zone is helping adults get fit for life!

THE NEW

STRONG

Get a total body workout in just 20 minutes, 1 – 2 times a week!

• Improved cardiovascular fitness • Greater muscular strength, endurance and tone • Increased metabolism and energy

Every month should be melanoma awareness month

By Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and MOHS Surgery of Atlanta People avoid the doctor for various reasons. Most of the time, it might be true that what is not causing pain is not dangerous, but there are some cases in which it is necessary to visit the doctor, even if you are not sick.

According to the American Academy of dermatology, dermatologist treat more than 3,000 diseases. Besides being well versed in a variety of skin ailments, dermatologist are specialized to detect small changes and irregularities in seemingly common freckles and moles that could in fact be the most common cancer: skin cancer. There are more skin cancer diagnoses per year than all other cancers combined.

One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of their lifetime. It is well known that most skin cancers are the result of exposure to ultraviolet radiation. However, some skin cancers are due to viruses or random genetic mutations, so even a new spot in an area not exposed to the sun deserves attention.

There many different kinds of skin cancer, the most common of which are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Melanoma has the highest mortality rate of the previously listed three cancers because of its ability to easily invade other organ systems. An estimated 87,000 new cases of invasive melanoma will be diagnosed in the US in 2017.

An estimated 10,000 people will die of melanoma in 2017. One person dies of melanoma every 54 minutes. And those statistics keep rising. While melanoma accounts for less than one percent of skin cancer cases, it accounts for the most skin cancer deaths.

The majority of melanoma deaths are among Caucasians, and about two thirds of these were men, but melanoma can occur in any race. Women are more likely to be diagnosed with melanoma before the age of 49, while men most often find themselves with a melanoma diagnosis at age 50 and older.

Why is there an age difference for

the diagnosis of melanoma between men and women?

The earlier risk of skin cancer for women could be due to sun tanning and using tanning beds. It is postulated that women would have melanoma TAYLOR risks later in life if activities such as tanning were more limited in their earlier years. Luckily, women are more likely to follow sun safety precautions in their 40s and 50s to prevent further signs of aging and

Detecting Melanoma Early: Have Someone Watch Your Back The good news is that most melanomas and skin cancers in general can easily be treated and cured if detected early.

What is Laser therapy and what makes it so good?

Laser Therapy is the most advanced pain relief technology available to the public. Laser therapy uses a process called photo-bio-modulation to enhance your body’s ability to heal itself. By flooding the STEWART tissues with photons, Laser Therapy energizes the damaged cells and increases circulation to the painful area. This produces a cascade of healing responses in your body, reducing inflammation, thereby reducing or even eliminating your pain. Treatments take just a few minutes. Laser Therapy is FDA cleared to treat pain, inflammation, arthritis, and muscle spasms. We are using Laser Therapy to treat a host of conditions including rotator cuff injuries, post operative pain and soreness (for any surgery), frozen

shoulder, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, neck pain, muscle strains, low back pain, and even migraines. Most of our patients are absolutely stunned when their pain is either cut in half or eliminated on the first visit! To see how it has helped some of our patients, just look on our website under the testimonials page. www.johnscreekpt.com. If you are reading this article and you are experiencing any type of pain and you want pain relief FAST, come in and try Laser Therapy. I’m confident it will help you!

Minimally invasive options in gynecologic medicine The field of gynecologic medicine has advanced by leaps and bounds over the last several years. Gone is the necessity for large incisions and long recoveries. According to Dr. John Reyes, Dr. Ingrid Reyes, Dr. Natu DR J. REYES Mmbaga and Dr. Annie Kim of Modern Ob/ Gyn, minimally invasive procedures are almost always the best options for patients.

Heavy bleeding and painful cycles can now be treated with same day procedures that require no downtime.

DR MMBAGA “There are so many great options for women; it’s our job to get that information to them and make them aware they don’t need large incisions, long hospital stays, or painful recovery times,” Dr. John Reyes said. “da Vinci robotic surgery is also an amazing service.” Endometriosis, pelvic pain, fibroids, cysts and other common issues are sometimes best addressed with robotic surgery. As the first surgeons to perform da Vinci gynecologic robotic surgeries at Emory Johns

Creek Hospital, Dr. Ingrid and Dr. John Reyes pioneered the implementation of this fast-growing service in our community. Patients benefit from robotic surgery by having less risk for complications, short overnight DR I. REYES hospital stays, faster recovery times, and minimal pain. Modern Ob/Gyn dedicates its gynecologic practice to minimally invasive surgeries and is an experienced leader in our community for robotic gynecologic surgery, performing these DR KIM procedures at Emory Johns Creek Hospital and Northside Hospital-Forsyth.

The physicians at Modern ObGyn enjoy providing second opinions and consultations because they believe it is vital to make patients aware of their choices. “We really value educating our patients so they understand their medical issues, why certain treatments are better than others, and what their options are for treatment,” said Dr. Ingrid.

A Mother’s smile

By Dr. Jeffrey Jordan Jordan Orthodontics I’ve always loved my mom’s smile, but this time last year she made a new patient appointment at my office under an assumed name, an alias!

After the initial surprise and laughter, we decided to proceed as usual. I guess she was ready to restore her smile to its former glory. At each new patient appointment we take a series of 10 facial and intraoral photos and an x-ray to observe the roots and bone level.

After reviewing the information and discussing the options, we proposed a treatment plan involving Invisalign. She decided to go for it, so we scanned her teeth with our intraoral scanner (no impressions!) and sent her scan with our

detailed prescription to Invisalign.

A few weeks later we received the complete set of aligners and placed some attachments on some of her teeth (she refers to them as barnacles).

Each aligner is worn JORDAN for 1 or 2 weeks and moves your teeth .25 mm. My mom had a total of 22 active aligners and 6 overcorrection aligners. We delivered three or four aligners at a time and sanded between her lower teeth a little as was prescribed. I am so proud of my mom, Peggy Jordan, and she loves her newly restored smile!

Baseball playoff ro Johns Creek, King’s Ridge, Blessed Trinity advance to quarterfinals

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON/FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Johns Creek sweeps Greenbrier — Johns Creek prevailed in extra innings in Game 1 and then dominated Greenbrier in Game 2 to advance to the quarterfinals for the third time in six years.

Game 1 went to extra innings after a Cole Neuber home run tied the game at 1-1 in the top of the sixth inning. Johns Creek scored two runs in the top of the eight off a single from Matt Gravely to take a 3-1 lead. Greenbrier had three singles and a walk in the bottom of the eighth to cut the Gladiators’ lead to 3-2 with the bases loaded and two out.

However, Neuber got a strikeout to end the game.

The Gladiators bats came alive in Game 2 as Johns Creek used 10 hits and 13 runs to end the game via mercy-rule after five innings, 13-3 the final.

Gravely had three RBIs in the win with Jared Mihalik driving in two runners.

Next series: away vs. Allatoona.

King’s Ridge advances with win in decisive Game 3 — King’s Ridge dominated Games 1 and 3 against Providence Christian to advance to the quarterfinals for the third straight year.

King’s Ridge blew out Providence 11-1 in Game 1 and looked poised for the sweep late in Game 2.

The Tigers led 2-1 in Game 2 enteing the bottom of the seventh. Providence singled to put the tying runner on. A sacrifice bunt and fly out advanced the runner to third but also put two outs on the board. The Tigers then surrendered a triple to tie the game, and a balk from Josh Byrnes allowed Providence to walk-off in unusual fashion.

King’s Ridge left no doubt in Game 3, with Lawson Hill throwing a complete game and allowing just four hits and no runs as the Tigers won 4-0. Hill also drove in two runs in the game.

Next series: away vs. Holy Innocents’ Blessed Trinity prevails in three games over Columbus — Blessed Trinity blew out Columbus in Game 1, scoring seven earned runs on 12 hits on to an 8-1 victory.

Runs were harder to come by for the Titans in Game 2, as Columbus’ starter threw a complete game, allowing just

und two roundup five hits in seven innings. Leading 1-0 in fifth, the Titans committed two errors to open the inning. Columbus took advantage by driving in two runs to take a 2-1 lead. BT put two runners on in the top of the seventh but failed to score, forcing a decisive Game 3.

In Game 3, BT pitcher’s Cole McNamee and Jake Smith allowed just four hits and held Columbus to one run. Smith also had two RBIs along with Jake Lundkovsky as the Titans went on to take Game 3, 6-1.

Next series: home vs. West Laurens.

Northview falls in extra innings of decisive Game 3 — Runs were at a premium throughout Northview’s series with Lee County with just eight combined runs scored by both teams in three games. In the end, Northview’s season ended as Lee County scored two runs in top of the 11th inning of Game 3 to take the series.

Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the seventh of Game 1, Northview loaded the bases with two outs but failed to score.

In Game 2, Northview took a 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth inning and held on. Colton McDaniel and Matthew Pacifico teamed up for nine strikeouts.

In the decisive Game 3, which was postponed Thursday and played Friday, another low-scoring affair dominated.

Avery Thomas got the start for Northview, striking out five and allowing four hits and one run in 5.2 innings. After Ryan Blake came in relief for one out, Matthew Pacifico took over.

Pacifico was nearly unhittable as a closer this season, but as the game entered the 11th inning, Pacifico’s fifth on the mound, Lee County finally managed to string together hits. Three singles and a sacrifice bunt put Lee County up 3-1.

In the bottom of the inning, Michael Wilson hit a single with one out, but Mac Bolton grounded into a double play to end the inning and Northview’s season.

Northview compiled a 25-9 overall record this season.

Lambert falls to North Paulding in two games — Lambert’s comeback attempt in Game 1 proved too little too late, and a shutout loss in Game 2 ended Lambert’s season last Wednesday.

Though Lambert had 10 hits in Game 1, North Paulding scored eight

CDA’S Down Home Derby still a winner Horses run for the roses, event all about the children

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – If you can’t make it to Churchill Downs in Louisville for the Kentucky Derby, the second-best place to see the Run for the Roses is at Iron Horse farm in Milton.

That is where the Child Development Association of North Fulton has had its annual Down Home Derby gala for the last three years, and for pure fun, it may just be the best of the season.

With more than 450 attending, this was the largest crowd yet for the Down Home Derby, according to CDA Executive Director Maggie DeCann. Channel 2 newscaster Fred Blankenship was the celebrity emcee for the affair.

The sold-out event raised something north of $100,000 that will go to fund CDA tuition scholarships for Fulton’s working poor.

It was quite a debut for the DeCan and Malon Mimms Co., the presenting sponsor.

“This is the first year that Malon Mimms has been the presenting sponsor and we really appreciate the support. Kaya Winery and Righteous Guitar were new sponsors and Kimberly Clark continues to sponsor and

support the CDA,” DeCan said.

The CDA provides the highest quality preschool education for the area’s working poor. There is a proven correlation to students ready for kindergarten and success, and the CDA is among those preschools attaining the highest National Association for Educating Young Children’s 3-Star rating.

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — The boys tennis teams’ of Northview and Lambert and the girls team of Cambridge captured state championships last Saturday at the GHSA state championships at Clayton County International Park.

Northview captured its third championship in four years and Cambridge won its second in three years. Lambert’s state title was the first for the program.

Northview was 17-0 entering the state championship match Saturday, but would face stiff competition in cross-town rivals Chattahoochee.

The two teams had met twice before in the regular season and the region tournament. Both of those matches were won by Northview by the slimmest of margins, 3-2.

Northview head coach Tracy Hefner-Ramage said she was nervous for the team heading into the state championships, knowing how hard it would be to defeat Chattahoochee three times on a season.

But once again Northview was victorious, winning 3-2. The Titans No. 1 doubles lost to open the state championship, but a win in the No. 2 doubles tied the teams. In singles, Northview captured two of three wins, including a three-set win for senior Jeremy Yuan, to capture the state title.

Yuan finishes his high school career perfect in state championship matches.

Northview’s six seniors won three state titles in their four years at the school and finished their senior campaign a perfect 18-0. In 2014, the only year they did not win the state title, the Titans’ still finished as state runner up.

Cambridge’s state championship was its second in three years, but first in Class AAAAAA after the Bears moved up from Class AAAAA last season.

The Lady Bears made quick work of region-rivals Alpharetta in the state championship, winning 3-0. Cambridge got their revenge over the Lady Raiders who downed Cambridge for the region championship this season.

Sisters Shelley and Allison Larson captured the Lady Bears’ first win of the day, winning 6-3 and 6-4 in No. 2

doubles.

In No. 1 doubles, Ann Spurka and Isabella Larson won in three sets, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.

Hanna Giddings captured the Lady Bears’ state title winning No. 1 singles in two sets. Giddings was undefeated in singles play this season.

Sydney Orefice and Emma Holmes did not have to finish their singles matches as Cambridge had already secured the state title.

Cambridge head coach Jennifer Schultz said the Bears moving to Region 7-AAAAAA provided valuable experience against stout competition that enabled them to have success in the playoffs.

“We knew at the beginning of this season this region would be tough.

Unlike previous regions where we were very dominant, this region provided us

more experience in the state playoffs,” she said. “To be able to win and compete at this level is a huge accomplishment.”

It only took three matches for Lambert to capture their first state championship in their first appearance later on Saturday.

Will Harper and Jack Metzger each won their singles matches, and Spencer Brown and An Lenka won in No. 1 doubles to seal the win for the Longhorns. All matches ended in two sets.

Lambert’s 3-0 sweep in the state championship round was the fourth in five matches played in the state playoffs.

King’s Ridge senior leaves lasting legacy Kelsey Hall creates environmental club, earns school certification as wildlife habitat

By JOE PARKER Joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — A King’s Ridge senior will leave a lasting legacy at the school, one that will benefit students, staff and wildlife surrounding the school. Because of her efforts, the entire campus has been designated a wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF).

With a passion for environmentalism, Hall created the Leaders for Environmental Awareness and Protection (LEAP) club at the school after attending the Environmental Studies Summer Youth Institute at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.

Two years after she began the club, her fellow students have shared her vision for sustainability, and the club has swelled to 35 members and has initiated environmentally-sound changes at the school.

When he arrived home three days

Kelsey Hall led the effort to get the school certified as an NWF wildlife habitat. She created the school’s Leaders for Environmental Awareness and Protection (LEAP) club.

King’s Ridge became the first school in North Fulton to provide electric vehicle charging stations after the LEAP club raised funds to install the stations at the school. With funding from a Georgia Independent School grant, the club created and managed a hydroponic garden with an environmental science class at King’s Ridge.

The latest of the club’s accomplishments is the NWF certification the club initiated. The certification deems the school as wildlife-friendly, providing food, water, shelter and places for wildlife to raise young. The school met all of later, the other firearms, as well as coins valued at $600, were missing.

The man suspected his ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend of taking the items because they were aware of their presence and knew the man would be out of town.

The certification also makes it more difficult to create changes that would adversely affect the wildlife on the campus.

“I’m really proud of what we have accomplished,” she said. “I hope that these initiatives and increased environmental awareness will be my legacy at

Wary bankers catch 2 women for fraud JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Police arrested two women April 25 after a teller identified two checks they were trying to cash were fraudulent.

The officers were called to the Bank of America on Old Alabama Road after two women had come to the drive-thru window and attempted to cash checks worth $1,900 total. The teller became suspicious when the checks had conflicting information and a fake address on them.

The teller said she recognized the checks as similar to some fraudulent checks that have been passed off at other local bank branches.

She tried to stall the two women while police arrived.

The women tried to drive off when they saw the officers, but police caught them.

Both Ceddrina Polk, 21, of Douglasville and Bria Jackson, 23, of Davie, Fla., were arrested for fourth degree forgery and possession of marijuana.

On the NWF certification, Hall said, “It was a really great initiative for LEAP because we were able to represent King’s Ridge and get involved with our community and the sustainability on the campus.”

Danny Bayless, a teacher at King’s Ridge and the LEAP club sponsor, said the NWF certification means Hall’s legacy at the school is sound.

“The certification means a lot to me on Kelsie’s behalf,” Bayless said. “As a senior, this is her way of giving something to the school with the club she started, and to leave her legacy here.” to be a Johns Creek police officer called at least two families April 25 threatening them with legal action if they did not send him money.

One couple said the caller told them that they were due in court, but he was willing to “work with them” if they paid him $2,200. They were instructed to buy five prepaid debit cards and read off the numbers for him.

The couple did so and was told by the caller that the numbers were invalid. He then said that the couple had to meet him the next day at court for a full refund.

Another couple said that the caller likewise demanded $2,200 for missing jury duty, or else they would face jail time.

The caller later dropped that amount to $1,300 when the couple said they couldn’t pay the full fine.

The husband left to buy prepaid debit cards, while the wife called the Johns Creek Police Department to verify the caller’s identity.

They verified that there was an officer with that name at the department, but he had not called the couple requesting money. There was no warrant out for the couple’s arrest either.

An officer tried calling the number provided by one of the couples, but the man on the line hung up once the officer identified himself.
