Are Athletes Good Candidates for LASIK?

By Claire Marsh, Milan Eye Center

It’s hard to hit a ball that you cannot see and it’s difficult to dodge roots on a trail when your vision is blurred. Clear vision is an asset in most, if not all sports. Depending on the sport, the use of glasses or contacts can range anywhere from inconvenient to outright dangerous. Some sports do not even allow the use of glasses, as they can get in the way and can break. Contacts can be a better solution, but dirt and sweat can get under contacts, causing your eyes to sting and making it difficult to see. In some sports, such as swimming, your contacts may even fall out. Additionally, if you swim with your contacts, they can absorb bacteria, leading to an infection. LASIK or other refractive surgery, such as PRK, can be an excellent option for athletes looking to free themselves of their contacts or glasses.

Below are some things you should know if you are an athlete, or even just someone who enjoys an active lifestyle, and are considering LASIK. Are there additional risks for athletes?

Some sports put LASIK patients at a higher risk for complications than others, but most of those risks are avoidable for athletes if they take a proper break from training and allow their eyes to heal fully.

The average recovery rate for LASIK is two days. After that, most athletes may need to take a little bit longer to heal before getting back to their sport. The length of time depends on the sport. It is usually safe to get back to certain sports, like running, after just a few days.

However, athletes who participate in contact sports such as boxing, wrestling, and football, are typically advised against LASIK. During LASIK, a corneal flap is made and lifted to aid the laser in reshaping the cornea. If the eye is hit before the patient has fully recovered from surgery, there is a risk of the corneal flap re-opening or becoming damaged and infected. For athletes involved in contact sports, PRK or photorefractive keratectomy is an alternative option that will be safer than LASIK. During PRK, no flap is created – instead, the surface is carefully debrided and the same laser is used to reshape the cornea. While healing takes longer with PRK, results are comparable to LASIK with no risk of flap damage from trauma. It is important to listen to your doctor and to take recovery time seriously.

What precautions do athletes need to take when having LASIK? • Listen to your doctor and take the proper amount of time to let your eyes heal.

• Avoid dusty and dirty environments for at least a week following the procedure.

• You can bathe or shower the day after your surgery, but refrain from swimming or submerging your head in water for at least 2 weeks.

• If you are going to sweat in the weeks following your procedure, wear a sweatband to keep the sweat out of your eyes.

• Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes, as this can negatively impact the healing process.

• Wear protective eye gear once you resume your activity.

Additional information Whether you are Olympics bound or you just enjoy playing the game, LASIK or PRK can improve your performance by freeing you from the inconvenience of glasses or contacts. To learn if you are a good candidate for LASIK surgery, call Milan Eye Center today at (678) 381-2020 and book a free initial consultation appointment.

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Voters will decide on Milton’s Mayor and three City Council seats in the Nov. 7 general election.

Incumbent Mayor Joe Lockwood will run against psychologist Laura Rencher, and voters will decide between incumbent Bill Lusk and Equestrian Committee chair Laura Bentley for District 2, Post 1.

Peyton Jamison, chair of the Planning Commission, will run unopposed for the District 1, Post 1 seat, while incumbent Joe Longoria will run unopposed for District 3, Post 1.

DISTRICT 1, POST 1

Peyton Jamison Why did you decide to run for election?

Having grown up in North Fulton, I’ve always had a desire to give back to the community that gave me so much. Now, raising a family and running a JAMISON business in the area, I recognize it’s time to give back through public service. Serving on Milton’s Planning Commission, I saw many things we could do to improve our city and make it an even better place to raise a

family.

What qualifications do you bring to your potential seat?

Running a small business and raising a family has positioned me to bring those business and family values to our City Council and set for a vision for success. I’ve served as past president of the Crabapple Community Association where we were able to bring thousands of residents and visitors together. I also serve as the chairman of Milton’s Planning Commission where I’ve advocated and voted for a strict adherence to our zoning guidelines.

What are some issues in the city you hope to address?

Adhering to our zoning guidelines and limiting density in our more rural areas will be a key issue. Additionally, we must relieve congestion and traffic throughout our city. And while progress has been made, I will continue to work with state and federal leaders to leverage all resources. As a father of three, I recognize that we must invest more in our parks, both active and passive, and use our greenspace bond funds effectively.

Why should Milton residents vote for you?

I want to bring a new vision of leadership to Milton. I will use my experience as a business leader and public servant to help build a city that will make us all proud. I am a business owner, husband and father looking to

DISTRICT 3, POST 1

Joe Longoria (incumbent) Why did you decide to run for re-election?

I have enjoyed the opportunity and responsibility of serving the citizens of Milton and making the strategic decisions required of the City CounLONGORIA cil. Working with the city manager and our engaged citizens, I have been part of the great things we have accomplished during the eight years of my tenure. I know that I can continue to contribute to our city.

Because of these factors, I decided to seek a final term as a council member.

What qualifications do you bring to your potential seat?

I am a software engineer by trade.

This experience has allowed me to develop an ability to understand and evaluate difficult and complex issues. My experience in the financial industry has had direct relevance to my City Council work as well. The lessons learned at the Georgia Municipal Association’s training program for elected officials have further honed my governmental management skills. This training and experience are critical elements and differentiate me from others who might serve.

What are some issues in the city you hope to address?

Supporting the work of the Greenspace Advisory Committee is a priority area of focus over the next four years because of the great impact it will have on our quality of life. Effective utilization of Birmingham and Providence Park will require a series of decisions. Completion of the Uniform Development Code is also a priority. All of these issues require active participation by our citizens. I look forward to those discussions and decisions.

Why should Milton residents vote for you?

I am proud of the decisions I have made while on council. In a few short years Milton has become a wonderful, award-winning community.

I ask Milton residents to continue to support my efforts in the years ahead. I encourage all citizens to help guide our community’s bright future by participating in local government. I want to hear your voice. I look forward to the next four years of new challenges and accomplishments.

Food Allergy Desensitization Q & A with Dr. Thomas Chacko Rated one of the Top Allergists in Atlanta and selected for the cover of Atlanta Top Doctor Magazine, Dr. Thomas Chacko is Atlanta’s expert in Allergies and Asthma. With recent speaking opportunities on CNN, HLN, WebMD, and Fox News, Dr. Chacko is sought after nationally for his expertise in all areas of adult and pediatric allergy and immunology.

Dr. Chacko has lectured throughout the Southeast on food allergies. He is one of a few allergists offering oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergies.

Why do you have a special interest in food allergies?

Food allergies can be one of the scariest things for patients and families. This can have a significant impact on their quality of life. For decades, our only recommendations were to avoid the allergen as well as to have an epinephrine auto-injector. Newer data has changed the landscape and allowed us to be more proactive about treatment.

What is oral immunotherapy (OIT)?

Oral immunotherapy desensitizes children & adults to their food allergens. By consuming the allergen regularly patients’ immune systems adapt to the allergen that formerly would have caused a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction.

How do I know if food desensitization is the right choice for my child?

The decision to begin desensitization is based on a variety of factors. These include risk of reaction to accidental ingestion, difficulty in avoiding the allergen, and a number of quality of life issues (anxiety, ability to participate fully in school, sports and family/social activities,

#OITworks Don’t Fear Halloween!

etc.). One of my patients had a life threatening reaction to milk and had to have a helicopter take her to CHOA for such a severe reaction. Now, she is tolerating over 1 glass of milk daily. It has made a huge change in their quality of life.

What is the goal of this treatment?

The primary goal of this treatment is to prevent any life threatening accidents. This is generally the concern for most patients with peanut or tree nut allergies. Almost daily, we have patients who are severely allergic to peanut tolerate 1-2 peanuts in our office. In some patients, we are able to introduce full servings of the previously allergic foods, such as with milk.

Do all allergists offer this treatment?

No. Only a handful of allergists in the country offer this treatment. There are currently ongoing trials to get FDA approval for treatments for food allergy desensitization. Some are waiting from the data and the recommendations based on those trials.

I’ve researched this topic for some years prior to offering this therapy. The data as well as my experience desensitizing patients has made me very excited to offer this therapy for the right patients.

To be further evaluated for food allergies and/or to learn more about oral immunotherapy, please visit us at www.GeorgiaENT.com.

No more exclusion, hurt feelings, family tension, or food fear.

Milton’s budget puts priority on innovation, economic development

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — The Milton City Council unanimously approved its fiscal year 2018 budget Monday night with emphasis beyond just balance and raw numbers.

Assistant City Manager Stacey Inglis said this year’s budget is focused on innovation to the city’s systems and attracting business growth.

“The year’s budget leans more toward innovative solutions,” she said.

Within the budget are streamlining efforts for the Community Development Department, making it easier to add to city’s archives and make them more available to the public.

The city’s court will receive a new

management system that is covered by a grant for 2018 and will have “minimal” cost in later years.

Laptops for police cruisers will see an upgrade designed to enhance efficiency and allow the computers to be placed in areas less susceptive to damage in vehicles.

The city will look to provide these upgraded services for what they hope will be an influx in business growth, another point of emphasis in the 2018 budget.

“We are trying to attract more businesses in certain areas,” Inglis said.

“To get those businesses to come, we have to offer them a reason to locate to Milton, not in Alpharetta or other neighboring cities.”

Within the budget are funds devoted

to locate businesses and commercial properties the city hopes to attract.

Inglis said these studies are vital to find the “right” ventures for the Deerfield area.

A similar study is in the works for the Ga. 9 corridor.

Milton will also put $50,000 toward its business incubator in the hopes of attracting startups and economic development.

The city’s overall operating budget is down 3 percent from 2017.

This includes $112,000 in savings by no longer leasing the old city hall space.

Property tax revenues are expected

to rise 2.3 percent.

Also at Monday’s meeting, first presentation was given for the city’s maintenance and operational millage rate which remains at 4.731 mills, the same rate since the city’s incorporation.

Added to this year’s rate is a 0.321 increase from the Greenspace Bond, putting the total mill rate at 5.052. The city will pay only interest for its bond this year, meaning the millage rate will increase in fiscal year 2019 for the city’s general obligation fund.

The maintenance and operation rate will be up for approval at this Monday’s meeting.

OPINION

Nothing shows its age worse than a clever cliche tered over the decades.

The 1970s • Dig (it) • Rap • Love is the answer 1980s • Bottom line • Attitude • Arguably (an adverb to boot, making it twice as detestable) 1990s • Awesome • Infrastructure • Outside the box 2000s • 24/7 (The all-time champion cliche, and it’s not even a word.)

• Transparency • Proactive • Really?

As for the current decade, it’s a little hard to rank.

For sure, “double-down” and “live, work, play” are in the running.

Another one is “folks,” which has become obligatory in political speech these days. Imagine Ike or Kennedy using “folks” in an address.

Amazingly, there is one cliche that hails back to that era, an expression that remains intact and pretty much unblemished.

When I see “Rain didn’t dampen the spirits of …” at the beginning of a story, I check the powder in my delete button and deliver a 20 megaton erasure.

It’s the word “cool” – not “cool, man” or “cool, Daddy-O,” just “cool.”

It was cool back in the ‘50s as the singular title to Leonard Bernstein’s score in “West Side Story.” It was cool in the ’60s when those in the know advised: “Be cool.” It was cool in the ‘90s when it truly was overused.

Even today, who can resist a chance to win a “cool million” or earn some “cool cash?”

Is there anyone who wouldn’t love to drive a “cool car,” wear a “cool jacket,” or just be thought of as “cool?”

Someday, someone will come up with another expression like “cool,” something that resists wear and remains as fresh – and as “cool” – as the day it was born.

You really have to feel for that young man. But, such is the bane of those in love with language.

I’ve encountered similar cases in my career on the copy desk. On occasion, I have crossed paths with veteran writers whose prose was off limits to any editing. Some of the writing was so good, I never switched off the safety on my blue pencil.

I’m a lot less gun shy these days.

Over the years, my patience has worn thin, and my tolerance for overused words, jargon and witticisms has waned.

I admit, some of these tired expressions may have had their moment.

Some may even have enjoyed a degree of cleverness in their infancy.

But, while most cliches have the good grace to wither into obscurity – die of natural clauses – others survive, cluttering the language, adding weariness to any message.

When editing news copy, I savor opportunities to obliterate cliches.

When I see “Rain didn’t dampen the spirits of …” at the beginning of a story, I check the powder in my delete button and deliver a 20 megaton erasure.

Zap! Even the author feels the recoil.

My disdain extends to the point where I keep a running list of some of the most prevalent cliches I’ve encoun-

Houze Rd.

There’s an apocryphal story about a newly hired copy editor at one of the Chicago papers back in the day. Assigned to the sports desk, the young wordsmith was called upon to edit a PAT FOX column written by Editor pat@appenmediagroup.com one of the paper’s longtime sportswriters. He was surprised to find the column was riddled with cliches – overused sayings he’d heard his entire life.

True to his training, the young man sought to eliminate the tired verbiage.

But, he knew better than to rewrite the work of a veteran.

So, he phoned the aged writer – a man who had been in the press box when Ralph Kiner hit 54 homers in 1949 and who had witnessed the great Ernie Banks as a rookie.

“Sir,” the young copy editor began, “I’ve just read your column for tomorrow’s paper, and I like it a lot. But, I couldn’t help noticing it contains a lot of cliches. I’d like your permission to rework it a little to eliminate some of them.”

“Son,” the old sportswriter responded, “I invented those cliches.”

MILTON, Ga. — Milton residents are getting a say in the future of Providence Park.

The city held a community meeting last Tuesday to gather public input for potential amenities or uses for the park that the city purchased two years ago from Fulton County.

Representatives from jB+a planning, which conducted a survey of the 42acre site over the summer, took residents’ questions and compiled lists of wants and concerns from residents regarding the park. Using comments from those in attendance, desired amenities and important concerns were voted on by attendees.

Last Tuesday’s meeting was the first step in creating the master plan for the park’s future. Once a final plan is approved, the master plan could be implemented immediately or phased in due to budget constraints. Representatives from jB+a said with the park’s size, a phase implementation would likely run 5-10 years.

Under Fulton County ownership, the park was closed in 2004 and remained dormant for 12 years after hazardous chemicals were found in the soil, including 55-gallon drums containing unknown substances.

After Milton’s incorporation, the city took ownership of the property in 2015 for $4,200. Due to continued cleanup, the site was not opened until November of last year.

With the future look of the site in the air, perhaps the most concerned resident in the roughly 30 in attendance was Charlie Lancelot, an unsung hero of the park.

In 1995, Lancelot and his wife

Lancelot moved to the location specifically for its proximity to the grounds, which would provide him with the opportunity to step out of his door and go for runs with his dogs through scenic paths.

Over the course of years, he fell in love with the park, which he maintains is the best he’s ever visited.

So in 2004 when the gates were shut and “No trespassing” signs were placed around the entrance, Lancelot’s beloved park faced an uncertain future.

But that didn’t stop him from enjoying it.

“I trespassed,” he said with a smile.

“When the park was closed, it defeated the whole purpose of why I moved here,” he said. “So I spent my time, my own money and my energy in maintaining the trails.”

For over a decade, Lancelot and his gardener took over Fulton County’s maintenance duties, with other visitors who bypassed the no trespassing signs reaping the benefits.

Along with his gardener, Lancelot maintained the trails, even adding new portions on what is now the red trail.

They also cleared underbrush, debris and fallen trees and leaves, which he said could cover the trails in just a

Steps in creating Providence Park master plan • Public input meeting (held Sept.

19) • Development of concept plans by city staff and jB+a planning • Public meeting to present concept plans • Drafting of final plan • Approval of final plan by city staff and the City Council week’s time in the fall. When they were sure a tree was bound to collapse by disease, they would cut it down and remove it before it presented a hazard.

Now 76, Lancelot still shares a passion for the park now in Milton’s possession. As far as its future, he wants to retain its natural beauty.

“I would like to see it continue to have well-maintained trails,” he said.

“I’d also like them to use the amphitheater and open paid campgrounds to generate revenue. Most of all, I want to preserve the natural aspects of the gorgeous park.”

“The idea was a for a natural, lowkey, nature recreation area, and that’s how I want it to remain.”

Centennial gets vital region win over Cambridge Knights hold Bears scoreless in second half

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Centennial earned its second straight region win with a 37-21 victory over winless Cambridge (0-5, 0-3) Friday night. The Knights (2-3, 2-1) trailed at the break but scored 17 unanswered points and held Cambridge scoreless in the second half.

Though sizeable and with talent, Centennial’s defense has struggled to stop the opposition’s offense this season, allowing 35 points per game entering Friday’s matchup. But the Knights defense found success against the Bears, holding Cambridge to 157 total yards.

Centennial’s offense turned the ball over three times, but strong performances from quarterback Max Brosmer

and his receiving core allowed the Knights to rack up 230 yards passing.

Brosmer was 15-18 with two touchdowns and an interception.

Brosmer got the scoring started with an 8-yard rushing touchdown to put the Knights up 7-0. Centennial’s Nicky Solomon added a field goal before Cambridge cut the lead to 10-7 with a rushing touchdown from Evan Kuykendall.

Both teams would exchange quick blows, with Cambridge connecting on a 30-yard touchdown pass and the Knights scoring just 18-second later to reclaim the lead.

The Bears led 21-17 at the half after a Tyler Wald 11-yard score, but it would be their last of the game.

Centennial gained the lead with a Julian Nixon score midway through the

third quarter, and the one-score lead held until late in the fourth.

The Knights defense forced a punt with five minutes remaining and the offense had to start its drive from their own 6-yard line.

Centennial then put together a 94yard drive that ate up all but 1:38 off the clock, capped off by a Brosmer-toNixon touchdown pass to lead 37-21.

Needing two quick scores to keep any hope of a comeback alive, Cambridge failed to convert on fourth down deep in Centennial territory in the final minute.

After starting the season with three

They will take on the top region team, Chattahoochee (4-1, 3-0), at home this Friday.

Cambridge will continue to seek its first win against Johns Creek (2-3, 2-1) this week on the road. The Bears won a 22-19 thriller over the Gladiators last year.

St. Francis drops region game

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

Class A-Private Walker 29, St. Francis 14 St. Francis found the scoreboard first Friday night, but Walker put together 22 unanswered points, including a safety, to down the Knights.

Robert Jones put the Knights ahead midway through the first quarter, but Walker would take the lead and extend it to two scores before a Sam Hines touchdown cut the lead to 22-14. However, the Knights would be unable to find the end zone again and fell to 0-2 in region play.

Mount Pisgah 55, Pinecrest Academy 24 The last two contests between Mount Pisgah and Pinecrest Academy were decide by three points. Not this year.

The Patriots offense improved on its 37 points per game average with a lopsided win over struggling Pinecrest Friday night.

With the win, Pisgah sits atop the Region 6-A Div. B standings at 3-0 while Pinecrest fell to 0-2.

Class 4A Blessed Trinity 45, McCallie School (TN) 19 What a difference a year makes.

McCallie dominated BT 56-6 last season. But this year, the Titans defense stood tall and their offense had no trouble finding the scoreboard as BT finished its non-region schedule at 5-1.

Elijah Greene scored four touchdowns and BT’s defense forced two turnovers and held the Blue Tornado, which averaged 40 points per game, to three scores.

McCallie is ranked fifth in Tennessee according to MaxPreps.

Class 7A Archer 37, Roswell 26 Roswell nearly erased a 24-point deficit, but its comeback attempt was quelled in the final minute against No. 3-ranked Archer.

Archer raced out to a 31-7 halftime lead, but Roswell scored three unanswered touchdowns in the second half and while the defense held the Tigers’ to 100-yards of offense.

Trailing 31-26 with four minutes remaining, Roswell drove into Archer territory. But with two minutes left, an Archer interception was returned for a touchdown to seal the Tigers’ win.

Kennesaw Mountain 49, Forsyth Central 42 (OT) Forsyth Central keeps coming so close to its first victory of the season, but once again the Bulldogs wound up on the wrong end of a heartbreaker Friday night.

The Bulldogs trailed 35-7 in the second quarter but fought back to tie the game with a touchdown and 2-point conversion in the final minutes.

However, their comeback attempt fell short when Central fumbled in overtime, dropping the Bulldogs to 0-5 this season. Four of Central’s losses have been by one score, including two in overtime.

Lambert 36, Wheeler 27 After a flood of scoring in the first half, things settled down between Lambert and Wheeler Friday night, and the Longhorns earned their second win of the season (2-3).

Lambert trailed 27-24 at the half but held the Wildcats scoreless for the remainder of the game. Marcus Chatelain scored a rushing touchdown and Bryce Christensen added two field goals in the second half for the Longhorns who are now 2-0 all-time against Wheeler.

Woodstock 49, North Forsyth 17 In a battle featuring two quarterbacks with some of the top passing numbers in the state, it was Woodstock’s Garrett Bass who led the Wolverines to victory.

Bass threw for over 400 yards Friday night while North’s Ben Bales passed for just over 350. But Bass and the Wolverines exploded for five touchdowns in the second half while holding the Raiders to 10 points.

North, which averaged 35 points per game entering the contest, fell to 0-4 all-time against Woodstock.

South Forsyth 37, Lassiter 20 In a battle of two undefeated, top10 ranked teams, South Forsyth used a three-touchdown fourth quarter to power its way to 5-0 on the season.

South held a slim 16-13 lead after three quarters before three rushing touchdowns from Jared Honey and Jordan Brunson put the War Eagles in a commanding 37-13 lead with a minute remaining.

South’s defense held Lassiter, which averaged 41 points per game, to two touchdowns.

West Forsyth 20, Newnan 10 West Forsyth closed out its non-region schedule at 4-1 after outlasting

WILL CAMPBELL, Ferrari Maserati of Atlanta GM 16 | Milton Herald | September 28, 2017

Ferrari Maserati of Atlanta gets ‘state-of-the-art’ renovation Showrooms doubled in size

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Every car brand brings with it an expectation, says Ferrari Maserati of Atlanta GM Will Campbell. So when Ferrari and Maserati are considered, one anticipates the best.

“The expectation of Ferrari and Maserati is that you come into a stateof-the-art facility that has state-of-theart cars with state-of-the-art service,” Campbell said.

But since the Roswell dealership on Ga. 9 opened in 2001, the dealer for two of the most celebrated car brands in the world has grown out of modernity.

Beginning last October, the dealership began a massive renovation to create the contemporary, sleek atmosphere in its showroom expected from the highly touted Italian manufacturers.

The overhaul will double the showroom space for both manufacturers and increase the dealer’s footprint to nearly 11,000-square-feet, up from 4,500.

The final touches are being put in place on the larger portion of the renovation, with the Maserati side to be completed late this year.

The initial reason for the update and expansion was due to demand, which has risen for some time, Campbell said.

And it’s not as simple as storing cars in the parking lot.

“You don’t store Ferrari’s outside,” Campbell said. “You want a climatecontrolled environment.”

With the renovation, the Ferrari side of the dealer will now accommodate up

JOE PARKER/HERALD

Opened in 2001, Ferrari Maserati of Atlanta has doubled the size of showrooms to accommodate a growing demand for the Italian brands. The renovation is anticipated to be complete this December. to 24 cars, which Campbell said are typically pre-owned.

“Those cars are usually sold back to us by customers,” Campbell said. “We like that because it’s a car we know.

We’ve always serviced it and have complete records on the car. So when a customer comes in, we are able to give them a full history.”

For those seeking a new model, the dealer has remodeled its configuration room, where customers can create a bespoke car, choosing everything from the color of the interior stitching to carbon fiber inlays. The dealer then

completes the order of the car, which is manufactured in Italy and shipped to North Fulton.

Where Ferrari’s are custom-ordered, the Maserati portion of the dealership represents the entire model line and will also double in size.

“A lot of the time, customers have been driving a German high-end car for many years and they want something different — they want to try an Italian car,” Campbell said. “We have enough of a selection where someone can come in and drive home a Maserati that day, but if they choose to build a custom car

we also do that.”

Whether a customer is seeking a luxury Maserati SUV for the school run or a 950-horspower La Ferrari Aperta with a $2.4 million price tag, Campbell said the renovation will add to the dealer’s top-notch service.

“That’s what we are all about – completing that experience,” he said.

“Italy does a remarkable job building amazing cars. It’s up to us to hold up our end of the bargain and create an amazing experience for our customers.

And that’s why our facility needs to be the very best.”

Keep cool, film industry is one of many A study earlier this year reported that more feature film productions were hosted in Georgia than anywhere else in the world. That got me to thinking: are we cool enough here GEOFF SMITH in Atlanta now Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com where if we saw Ben Stiller walking down one of the Peachtree Streets, or Scarlett Johansson sipping a coffee at Alon’s Bakery, or Clint Eastwood eating at Chops: would we just notice and let them go about their business?

Or are we still making a big fuss?

When I was 14, my parents took the family on a tour of Europe. I was impressed by the churches, history and culture. But the thing I talked about most was us staying in the same hotel as Guns and Roses in Munich, Germany. There were fans constantly waiting near the entrance of the hotel and we caught glimpses of Slash walking around with his top hat on.

While my parents wanted to tour the city, my brother and I wanted to stake out the band. We got lucky when my brother spotted the band’s bassist, Duff McKagan, jogging around the halls on our floor. He couldn’t go in the streets because he would have gotten mobbed.

So he ran around and around the halls with his Guns and Roses’s hoodie on.

My brother and I went in the hall and tried to play it cool, which was hard to do standing against a hotel hall wall staring at the ceiling every time Duff passed by. I guess it was obvious and Duff, who turned out to be quite the gentleman, stopped jogging, pulled off his hood and asked us, “what’s up fellas?” I stammered something awkward at him. And he stood there and talked, and he asked us normal questions about our trip. The conversation was incredibly friendly

THETORONTOKID2/HTTP://TINYURL.COM/YAP7XU43

A parking lot in Atlanta is transformed into a Nigerian town for “Captain America: Civil War.” and it was just getting rolling – when over his shoulder I saw my mom walking toward us.

“Who are you talking to boys?” she asked in a tone that could not have been more mom-sounding. Duff turned, offered his hand and introduced himself.

“Oh, are you in a band?” she asked.

“Yes ma’am. I’m in a band called Guns and Roses,” he said.

“Oh, have you been playing together for a while,” she asked.

My brother and I could not have been more mortified. But my mom is from Philly. And folks from Philly don’t impress easily, especially when they see their boys falling all over themselves to act cool in front of a heavy metal bassist.

I don’t live intown Atlanta, but I have seen my fair share of movie-star sightings here. I saw Paul Rudd at Legoland. I may have seen Kevin Spacey come out of Little Alley on Canton Street. I’m sure there were others. But for folks intown, it should be a common occurrence.

Last year, 23 feature films were shot in Georgia. Among those were “Captain America: Civil War,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Fast and Furious,” “Felt,” and “Guardians of the

Galaxy 2.” Successful series including “The Walking Dead” and Netflix’s original “Ozark” are also filmed here.

In 2016, it is estimated that films and television spent $2.02 billion in our state. That’s a lot of money.

The films “Passengers,” “The 5th Wave,” “Allegiant” and “Captain America: Civil War” spent $476.4 million on locations alone.

This isn’t a passing phase for Georgia. The film industry has set deep roots. The metro area is now dotted with film studios, some that cost near $100 million to build. It’s amazing what we spend to entertain ourselves these days. But if it’s going to be spent, better here. And we’ll take it all in stride, as though it is just one of many industries now thriving in the ATL.

Are you promoting your small business with advertising? Do your ads reach the right buyers? Are your advertising messages attracting new customers? For many small businesses, advertising is one of the top ways to attract new

customers.

The best starting point for advertising is to utilize current media assets you already have, like your website.

Having a website that promotes your products and services, rather than just displaying information about what you do, will help draw in new customers.

The same holds true with social media sites, like Facebook.

Local newspapers, like the one you’re reading now, are also a great option. Small businesses, whose customer base is close by, can achieve a very large reach with newspapers that are delivered to everyone in town for free.

For some small businesses, flyers make a lot of sense. A bulk mailing of flyers to potential local customers has been a tried and true means of advertising for small businesses for years.

More expensive options are radio and television.

Depending on the product or service you sell, this may be the best option vs. other choices you have.

There are plenty of advertising agencies who can help you determine which medium is best for you, or you can learn a lot by going online and reading about the pros and cons of all advertising options.

Advertising is critical to help you grow your small business, so spend some time selecting the medium that will give you the biggest success.

StartItUp conference brings entrepreneurs, students together

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Experienced entrepreneurs, college and high school students, faculty, staff and community members all learned from each other recently at the annual StartItUp conference sponsored by the University of North Georgia.

The third annual event was Sept. 19 at the Forsyth Conference Center and was created to ignite an entrepreneurial mindset and a zeal for starting new businesses in the North Georgia region.

Ruben Boling, director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation for the college, said the Center wants to build a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem at the university.

“We have all these current, past and future students in one place to hear from successful entrepreneurs and learn so they can start their businesses,” Boling said. “The Center is there to provide support for any of you who want to do that.”

The biggest part of creating that atmosphere is to have successful entrepreneurs talk about what they did, how they did it and why, he said.

The three speakers at the event

lecting every ingredient.

“Holly and I had tried all the products out there,” Pickens said. “They were oily and horrible. The results were subpar. We wanted to create a product with luxury performance, but used quality ingredients. Nature is the best chemist.”

In order to be confident about selling something, you have to be confident about what you’re selling, Pickens said.

“Every single detail of our company is something both of us stand by,” Pickens said. “I can look everyone in the eye and say it’s the best product on the market. If you’re selling anything, even if it’s not tangible, it needs to be something you can sell and feel confident about selling. You need the passion and love for it.”

In business, people often make it about themselves, Pickens said, rather than the connections people make with others.

“Business owners sometimes think, ‘what’s better for me?’” he said. “Holly and I felt strongly that our business is built through everyone else. We aren’t the best people for everything and there’s no way you can be. We reach out to people who are better and can make us stronger.”

At Arthritis & Total Joint Specialists, we deliver treatment for those suffering from chronic joint pain due to arthritis or other conditions. Our physicians are board-certified experts and leaders in joint replacement, and offer the latest in minimally-invasive surgery, including anterior hip replacement and robotic knee surgery to return you to activity.

Congratulations Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Dr. Taylor, congratulations on winning Best Vein Care Specialist and Runner Up for Best Dermatologist for North Fulton 2017! What do your think has allowed for this success so quickly after opening your practice?

Dr. Taylor: “When my wife and I made the decision to move home be close to family and to open a practice that would serve our community, we knew it would be a challenging road.

And it has been! But I am just so thankful for the community’s support, for my wonderful coworkers and for my patients! I was confident in my training and in my experience as a Mohs surgeon and vein care physician, but I knew that there are a lot of moving parts to a practice, some of which I knew little about. Since opening on Jan 30th 2017, we have made a lot changes and tweaks to try to make our practice a place where patients feel heard, well cared for and valued.

How did you react to the news of winning both these titles?

To say that I was shocked and overwhelmed with appreciation for winning “Best Vain Care” Specialist and runner up for “Best Dermatologist” in North Fulton after merely 7 months of practice here in Alpharetta is an understatement. I was and am thrilled. I hope that this means that our patients realize the depth of my dedication and that my care and concern for my patients continues past 5:00pm.

As a dermatologist, how did you come to excel in the field of vein treatment?

After becoming a board-certified dermatologist, I spent a fellowship year in La Jolla, California, where I was trained by a cardiothoracic surgeon and cosmetic dermatologists in the Scripps Vein Clinic while also training in Mohs surgery. I am exceptionally proud of our Best Vein Care title, as I believe that I truly do provide patients with excellent vein care services usually provided by several different specialists.

I feel so fortunate to be able to address both medically significant vein disease as well as cosmetic venous issues. I am excited to continue to provide my patients this great service.

You mentioned DR. TAYLOR “Mohs surgery” – what is it? And what does “MOHS” stand for?

Mohs surgery is a special technique for removing skin cancer. The word “Mohs” isn’t an acronym. Mohs is actually named after Dr. Mohs, the surgeon who first pioneered this advanced method for curing skin cancer. With Mohs surgery, a cancer is removed in layers and examined under the microscope until it is completely gone – the technique carries a 99% cure rate for most skin cancers.

As for runner up for Best Dermatologist, I never expected to be on the radar for this award so soon after opening, and I am just so glad that I have made a positive impression! I believe that my expertise in Mohs surgery likely contributed to my patients’ happiness and to this honor.

Is there anything else that you would like to share?

I do want to thank my staff for all their help. At Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta, we have been blessed with the most reliable, dedicated and genuine staff one could hope for: we have a team of very knowledgeable, experienced and energetic people working together. They care so much for our patients. It feels so wonderful to walk into work and have staff ask how patient x or patient y is doing and say they were thinking of them over the weekend. They care and it shows!

And I am so grateful! So, to our team at Premier Dermatology, thank you for the fantastic job that you do every day!

Thank you Dr. Taylor, and Congratulations to Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta.

Responding officers located a female and male passed out inside their home on the floor of the living room.

An interview with the man revealed the female was driving the car, and he admitted that both had consumed “large quantities” of alcohol.

North Forsyth volleyball claims top-spot in Area 5-7A Region tournament matchups set

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON/FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — North Forsyth volleyball swept Milton in three sets last Thursday to stand alone atop the Area 5-AAAAAAA standings after going 5-0 in region matches. On the same night, West Forsyth downed Forsyth Central and Lambert got its first win over South Forsyth since 2012 to set the matchups for the region tournament which begins Oct. 3.

North Forsyth downed Lambert 3-1 on Sept. 9 for a crucial win to seal the No. 1 seed with its sweep of Milton (2518, 25-9, 25-13) two days later.

North senior Maddie Bryant’s 524 kills are the second most in the state.

The Lady Raiders will take on Forsyth Central to open the area tournament. They swept the Lady Bulldogs 3-0 (25-8, 25-12, 25-11) on Sept. 7.

The Lady Raiders will compete in the Nike Tournament of Champions to close out their regular season.

Lambert needed a win to secure the No. 2 seed in the area and got its first win over South in five years. The Lady Longhorns swept South 3-0 (25-20, 2521, 25-14).

Lambert will face Mill Creek this Thursday to close out the regular season. The Lady Longhorns will take on Milton in the first round of the area tournament.

After finishing atop the area standings for the past four years, South’s losses to Lambert, North and West Forsyth relegated them to the No. 4 seed.

South will take on West Forsyth to open the region tournament in what could be a repeat of the team’s thrilling Sept. 7 match. Both teams exchanged close wins throughout the first four sets until West was able squeak away with a 16-14 win in the decisive fifth set.
