Thieves burglarize home during family vacation ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A man called police April 24 after he saw that a window of his neighbor’s house on Highmeade Drive was shattered.

Police cleared the house and found that the kitchen, guest room and bedrooms had been ransacked. Several drawers and cabinets were open or overturned, with papers and miscellaneous items strewn about on the floor.

The residents were out of state on vacation. Police told the neighbor to secure the window and contact the homeowners about the incident.

The motorcyclist said he then caught up with the car and, at a stop light, asked the driver why they had almost hit him.

Instead of answering, the driver pulled out a handgun.

The motorcyclist, afraid, drove off and reported hearing what sounded like a gunshot.

The motorcyclist was not injured.

a representative said the suspect had become an authorized person on the account on April 18.

The woman said she did not recognize the name and only two people are authorized users on the account. She added that the bank is supposed to contact her regarding requests to become an authorized user, but she had not been contacted.

Counterfeit bills found at local gas station ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police are investigating an April 23 incident in which gas station employees at the RaceTrac on Old Milton Parkway found two fake $20 bills.

Employees said that earlier that day, a man had paid for his gas using the two bills. They were accepted, but when employees attempted to store the bills in their system, the fake notes were rejected. They were flagged as counterfeit.

The manager said he would provide security footage of the man’s payment.

Business loses thousands to fraudulent transaction Car window smashed while owner at lunch ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A woman called police April 25 after she discovered that someone had fraudulently transferred $73,000 out of a local business’ bank account.

The woman manages finances for Holon Solutions, a software company that sells programs to medical records facilities. When she checked the company’s bank account on April 25, she noticed that someone had made the $73,000 transfer two days earlier.

The woman called the bank, and

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police are investigating an April 23 car burglary at the Ruth’s Chris Steak House on Haynes Bridge Road.

The car owner had gone in for lunch around noon and returned to his car an hour later. He saw that the rear driver’s side window was broken. The car was still locked.

The owner said his gym bag, which contained his iPod, Bose headphones, and $300 worth of clothing and equip-

ment, was missing.

Police said no other cars in the area had been burglarized.

Man seen stealing item from neighbor’s porch ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A woman called police April 24 after she received a message from her neighbor that someone had stolen a package from her house on Webb Bridge Road.

The package had been delivered and left on the woman’s doorstep. A neighbor saw a man step out of his car and take the package around noon that day.

The neighbor left the woman a note.

The woman confirmed that no one had been authorized to take the package for her.

Motorcyclist flees police after attempted traffic stop ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police are looking for a motorcyclist suspected of fleeing from police after he was seen speeding April 25 on Ga. 400 southbound.

Officers were patrolling near the Windward Parkway offramp when they spotted a motorcyclist weaving through traffic. He was clocked traveling at 90 mph.

When police signaled for the motorcyclist to pull over, he glanced at the officers, shrugged, and continued to drive.

Police continued to signal for the motorcyclist to pull over. He decreased his speed to 70 mph. Another police car joined the chase, but the motorcyclist continued to drive. At one point, officers were told to cease pursuit.

Alpharetta, Milton adjust policies to preserve youth travel teams Cities continue talks to restore reciprocal park use arrangement

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — While negotiations continue this week over a reciprocal parks agreement between Milton and Alpharetta, officials in both cities have taken steps to preserve the youth athletic travel teams formed under the old arrangement.

The Alpharetta City Council voted recently to extend for 12 months a provision of the agreement whereby Milton youths are “counted as residents” in the formation of youth travel teams.

The action coincides with a decision by the Milton Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to extend the same status for Alpharetta youths who have participated in its travel team program. Milton’s decision, however, provides residential status to those Alpharetta youths through the duration of their participation in the youth sport, allowing them to basically “age-out” for as long as they remain in the program.

Officials in both cities said they hope their measures blunt the effects of the lapsed overall parks agreement which expired in January. Under that agree-

ment, negotiated six years ago, youths were given resident status in both cities and were charged reduced rates from those participating from other cities.

In 2018, Milton residents accounted for 14,300 registrations for Alpharetta-based recreation programs, while 413 Alpharetta residents participated in Milton-based park programs. During that time, the City of Milton paid Alpharetta $453,100 in fees to compensate for their youths’ lower fees.

Under this latest measure, youth sports participants from outside each city will still have to pay higher non-resident fees, but the makeup of the teams can remain similar to those in the past.

Both cities require travel teams consist of at least 50 percent residents.

Organizations affected by dissolution of the requirements include Alpharetta Youth Softball Association; Alpharetta Youth Baseball Association; North Atlanta Football League and Ambush Soccer.

Alpharetta Parks and Recreation Director Morgan Rodgers said youth sports organizers indicated that they feared they would lose many of the players who had been on the same teams for years.

“If we take all the Milton guys away, a lot of our teams are in the 40 percent mark with Alpharetta residents, so they can’t play,” Rodgers said. ”Those teams that have formed for a couple of years are going to go play somewhere else rather than going in and saying ‘you can’t play on our team anymore because they changed the rules.’ This gives our travel teams a chance to take a breath, then they can make a decision as to what they’re going to do in the coming year.”

Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin said he thinks the talks between the two cities are going well.

“It’s difficult to comment with negotiations in progress,” he said. “As cities, we both realize there’s an opportunity to have better programs in partnership.

It’s just a matter of finding terms we can both agree to.”

For its part, Milton, a city barely 10 years old, is far better off in its parks inventory than it was six years ago when the reciprocal agreement was made with Alpharetta. Over the course of the past two years, the city has acquired some 380 acres of public land through a $25 million

greenspace bond passed by Milton voters in 2016. At least another 100 acres is now in the final stages of purchase.

Still, the city is strapped for parks that include facilities for youth sports. Greenspace bond money can only be used for land or improvements designed for passive use.

Instead, the city has explored partnerships with local entities, such as schools or churches, for rights to share sports facilities.

Meanwhile, Milton Mayor Joe Lockwood said he has to look out for Milton taxpayers who had been picking up the tab of supplementing the city’s youth participation in the Alpharetta programs.

Over the years, he said, the contract amount has grown to a point where fairness to the local taxpayers has to be considered. That money, he added, could be used to grow the city’s own youth activities.

At the same time, though, he said he still hopes an equitable arrangement can be negotiated that works for both cities and benefits kids in Milton and Alpharetta.

“We’re both trying to find a win-win, so that it’s not only fair to each city but helps citizens on both sides,” Lockwood said. “We kind of look at it as we’re all one big community.”

Commissioners reappoint assssor in face of opposition

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — In the wake of strong opposition from its North Fulton contingent, the Fulton County Commission reappointed Board of Assessors Chair Salma Ahmed to another four-year term May 1.

The 4-3 vote occurred after commissioners failed to approve a second nominee proposed by North Fulton elected officials, and in a last-minute add-on item confirmed the reappointment of the sitting chair.

The Board of Assessors is responsible for determining the fair market value of real estate in the county and preparing the annual tax digest.

The board has come under fire recently for issuing digests riddled with inaccuracies, failure to keep assessments in line with increasing values, the critical findings of the State Department of Revenue review in 2017 and a lawsuit accusing assessors of sales chasing.

For these reasons, Commissioner Bob Ellis said, he thought it was time for new leadership on the Board of Assessors. In February, Ellis nominated Alpharetta attorney Ken Zdrok to replace real estate developer Ahmed upon the completion of her four-year term in July.

“Not all of this rests on every member of the Board of Assessors, but governance matters,” Ellis said. “During the time this nominee was on here, it’s not

good by any stretch of the imagination.

Every one of the members from that time is gone with the exception of this one.”

Zdrok’s nomination came before the commission three times and each time failed, with commissioners Liz Hausmann and Lee Morris joining Ellis in support and commissioners Robb Pitts, Marvin Arrington and Natalie Hall not casting a vote.

Commissioner Emma Darnell, who died Sunday, was absent each time the matter was considered. Darnell had represented South Fulton on the County Commission since 1992.

After Ellis’s nomination failed, on April 17, Arrington nominated Pamela J. Smith to the South Fulton post. Ellis and Hausmann said they deliberated whether to support the nomination after the “disrespect” shown to the North Fulton nominee, but ultimately voted in favor of Smith.

At the May 1 meeting, Hausmann put forward her own nominee, commercial appraiser Ed Mitchell. Like Zdrok, Mitchell was endorsed by the Mayors of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton and Roswell, Hausmann said.

The vote failed along the same lines as Zdrok, with Darnell voting against.

In an item so last-minute it did not even appear on commission’s day-of agenda, Pitts put forward an item to reappoint Ahmed for a term to end June 2023. The measure passed with Hausmann, Ellis

and Morris casting votes in opposition.

“For the sake of trust in government, the folks need to be replaced,” Morris said. “Not that any individual was responsible for anything directly necessarily, but sometimes for the public to have the trust, the team needs to be removed.”

Hausmann agreed.

“If we don’t get this right, everything that we do is suspect,” she said. “Everything that we do is based on property taxes and on the evaluation of those properties … All I’m asking, all we’ve asked over, and over, and over these last few months, is that we have a board in place that we can depend on and we can trust the governance in place for the tax assessment process.”

Hausmann said the Board of Commissioners would continue to try and improve the appraisal process, for example by updating the technology appraisers use and making the website more transparent.

“We’ve done a lot of things to help address some of the shortfalls we saw a few years ago,” Hausmann said. “But again, all that is very important but the core of the process is getting the values right and that’s ultimately what the Board of Assessors is charged with.”

Hausmann also said she thinks the Board of Assessors got the message that this is something the commissioners take seriously.

Looney selected new Fulton school superintendent Former Tennessee education executive to begin work June 17

Michael Looney’s contract

BY CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com The Fulton County Board of Education LOONEY formally approved the hiring of Michael “Mike” Looney, Ph.D., as the district’s new superintendent last week, offering a three-year contract worth over $400,000 annually.

Looney was named the district’s sole finalist in mid-April.

State law mandates a 14-day period before a final vote can be taken.

In announcing the appointment, Board President Linda Bryant said Looney’s experience and approach to education are the right fit for the district.

“We have great confidence and optimism in his abilities,” Bryant said. “[Dr. Looney] has shown the willingness to be transparent, listen to the community, comes with a track record of results in student achievement and is thoughtful in his approach toward teaching and learning.”

Fulton County Schools has been under the interim leadership of Cindy Loe since December when former superintendent Jeff Rose stepped down.

Looney said he spent the past few weeks visiting schools and meeting staff, students, parents and community members and came away impressed with the interactions.

“As I was going through the interview process, I heard from the board how incredibly talented Fulton County students

Terms: June 17, 2019 through June 16, 2022 Base Salary: $329,900 (235 day calendar) Vacation Days: 20 with option to buy back 10 ($14,000) Sick Days: Option to buy back 10 ($14,000)

Retirement Contribution: $32,900 (10 percent of salary) Expense Allowance: $15,000 Automobile Allowance: $9,600

are and about the dedicated teachers, principals and staff,” Looney said. “When I visited, I saw this firsthand and became even more excited about serving this community.”

He said he plans to spend the next three months getting to know the school community even better and familiarizing himself with the district’s Strategic Plan 2022 – the Board’s blueprint for success.

“My first job will be to evaluate what is working well and what challenges Fulton Schools have to tackle in order to improve for the future,” said Looney.

Looney has been the superintendent of schools in Williamson County, Tenn., for the past 14 years, and in the education field for a total of 25 years. He earned a Doctorate in Educational Administration from the University of Alabama and holds two masters’ degrees in education leadership endorsement and education from Jacksonville State University. In 2015 Looney was named Tennessee Superintendent of the Year by his peers.

This newsroom runs on microwaves Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but I had a weird dream last night…

OK, I know there’s nothing people look forward to more than pretending to listen to someone to describe Julia Grochowski trying a dream they only Reporter half remember. Truly julia@appenmediagroup.com riveting stuff, so I’ll keep it short.

Because we all know I’m only using this as a way to ease you into the topic.

In this dream, the office had no working microwave. And it made me realize how much relies on the humble microwave.

Now, you might think that our newsroom runs on coffee. It’s all you see on the screen and in books. Well, that, and everyone knows that a true red-blooded American’s veins are filled with at least 33 percent coffee.

(Don’t bother double-checking this figure. If it made it past the editors and onto the page, it must be true.)

No, the caffeine of choice in this newsroom is equally represented with tea, Red Bull and coffee. (It would have been less of a mouthful to leave coffee out of there entirely, if only someone hadn’t ruined my narrative with pesky things like facts and reality. You know who you are.)

It’s not coffee we rely on, it’s the microwave. And I bet your office does as well.

But after a while, it becomes so bland. And if there’s anything being hungry for more than 15 minutes has taught me, that’s a crime of the highest order.

Like those pacing animals you see at the zoo, I need some variety in my life.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had delicious ingredients waiting to be made into a meal at home, but nothing I could find for a quick, on-the-go work lunch. Food, food everywhere, and not a bite to bring to work.

So, I’ll default to a simple sandwich or salad. But with the magic of the modern microwave, I can expand into the exciting world of Lean Cuisine or some take out I had the previous night. A veritable feast of options.

So the next time you use your microwave at work, please make sure to thank it. It does so much for you.

LEFT LANE REVIEWS

OPINION

The grown-up of the group 2019 Hyundai Accent Manufacture a car or crossover with a price tag under $20,000 these days and it seems almost obligatory the sales team will market it as a vibrant, fun choice for under 30s.

For evidence, look JOE PARKER no farther than Kia’s Reporter joe@appenmediagroup.com ad department using punchy electronic music and dancing hamsters, for some reason, to market its funky-styled Soul.

It makes sense to market cars to the younger crowd in such a price range.

After all, most under 30s, me included, are saddled with student loan debt so extensive it rivals the national deficit.

But Hyundai does not seem to have taken the cue that it needs to appeal to a younger crowd with its subcompact sedan. In fact, its Accent is assuredly the adult in the subcompact group.

Though the Accent starts at $15,000 and my top-of-the-range tester just crossed the $20,000 mark, the Hyundai is not a gimmicky attempt of the suits to appeal to the shirts.

For starters, it doesn’t sport orange trim or funky geometric styling. Rather, with its chrome cascade grille and predictable but attractive lines, the Accent is simple but handsome. The interior styling is also subdued and straightforward, but not overly boring. Hyundai’s infotainment system is intuitive, and the Accent provides a welcome mixture of touchscreen functions and analog inputs on the dash and steering wheel.

The Accent is also a sensible choice when it comes to interior and cargo room.

While the rear seats are on the slightly cramped side of things for adults, the 13.7-cubic feet of trunk space provides enough storage for most everyday needs.

If more space is needed, the 60/40 rear

seats are easily folded. Interior storage is supplemented with cubby areas in all four doors and a sizeable area in the center console.

At its price point, the Accent provides a prudent number of features as standard.

The base SE trim with a 6-speed manual transmission starts at $14,995 with a 6-speed auto adding a grand to the price tag. The SE comes standard with a rearview camera, LATCH connections for the rear seats, Bluetooth, keyless entry, USB and auxiliary ports and a 5-inch infotainment screen.

Above the mid-range SEL trim is the Limited ($19,080), which adds safety features in the form of forward collision avoidance, LED front and rear lights, a sunroof, heated front seats and a 7-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity and other amenities.

All trims come with a 1.6-liter engine and front-wheel drive. The four-cylinder provides 130-horsepower and is slow to respond to the right pedal when called upon, though it does make a lot of noise.

The 1.6-liter needs a long run to get up to highway speeds but is well-suited for traversing urban areas. Driving along the interstate and inner-city gives the Accent 32 combined mpg.

Shifts are noticeable when the transmission decides to change gear, especially down a cog, but otherwise the Accent’s ride is fairly calm, collected and comfortable.

Being the adult of the subcompact group, the Accent seems far more suited for the daily commute than a sporty feel, but effortless and accurate steering makes for a peppy performance through switchbacks with some feel from the steering and brakes.

The Accent may not be the most exciting choice in the subcompact market, but it is a practical option for those who don’t need a bevy of thrills and frills. You know, like a grown-up.

Mountain Park integrates design thinking into classes Local students recognized for tackling homelessness

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — At Mountain Park Elementary, design thinking is a part of the culture. Everyone, including students and staff, are encouraged to use design thinking as an empathetic problem-solving method.

“You don’t use design thinking for every problem,” said Principal Stacy Perlman. “It’s really for when you have a big problem that you don’t know what the solution might be… It’s about seeing things from another perspective, which isn’t always easy to do. You care about your user, not your idea.”

Design thinking is a human-centered approach that begins by gaining a clear understanding of the needs of a person or group of people. From there, the problem-solver defines the issue, ideates solutions, creates a prototype and tests their solution.

Mountain Park Elementary has incorporated design thinking into its curriculum over the past five years. It’s one of a handful of Fulton County schools that

A team of fifth grade students at Mountain Park Elementary School recently won a national design thinking competition with their project addressing homeless family housing. use the method. Other schools include Riverwood High School, Ocee Elementary School, Woodland Elementary School and Hembree Springs Elementary School.

Most recently, a team of Mountain Park Elementary School fifth grade students won a national Bright Spark Design Thinking Competition. They were

honored with the Stronger Communities Award, presented by United Way of Greater Chattanooga, for their project on homeless family housing.

The project envisioned a mixed-use community similar to Avalon that provides housing for homeless families. It also incorporated a job and skill training program for homeless families, as well as opportunities for people to try out different jobs to help them become self-sufficient. Students talked to the school’s social worker to learn about the issue and gain feedback on their solutions.

All Mountain Park students learn about the design thinking process in second grade, where they design the best day ever for a peer, and then apply the process where it makes sense, Perlman said.

For example, the third graders are currently gearing up for the annual lemonade wars, based off of the book series by the same name, where student teams compete with one another to market their lemonade stand and gain the most sales. Some of the past marketing ideas created through the design thinking process for the lemonade wars include stands where a student dressed as a lemon or played guitar.

Open enrollment deadline set for May 15 Students: Elementary choices abound, but capacity limits options for higher grade levels

BY CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com Parents looking for elementary school options for the child outside their zoned school will have lots of choices next year across North Fulton County.

Parents of middle and high school parents will have few options, as space and capacity limit the options.

The Fulton County School System identified 58 of the district’s 105 schools as “open enrollment” schools for the 2019-20 school year. Since 2009, state law allows parents of students enrolled in a public K-12 school to enroll in another school within the district if space allows.

Charter schools are already open enrollment and not subject to the law.

In North Fulton, 20 of the 28 traditional elementary schools are participating in open enrollment next year. The choice for middle school transfers is limited to Holcomb Bridge Middle in Roswell.

At the high school level, only Northview High School in Johns Creek and Centennial High in Roswell can accept transfer students; all other North Fulton high schools are projected to be at or above instructional capacity.

Continued from Page 11

Available schools The following elementary schools are available for Open Enrollment in North Fulton: • Abbotts Hill • Mountain Park • Barnwell • Ocee • Birmingham Falls • River Eves • Dolvin • Roswell North • Esther Jackson • Shakerag • Findley Oaks • State Bridge Crossing • Hembree Springs • Summit Hill • Hillside • Sweet Apple • Medlock Bridge • Vickery Mill • Mimosa • Wilson Creek Applications for transfer under open enrollment are due May 15 by 4:30 p.m. Parents will be notified of their child’s status by June 30, according to Fulton School officials. Applications are available online at the Open Enrollment page for the Student Assignment Office at www.fultonschools.org.

Once accepted, the student may remain at that school through all grade levels, for example through fifth grade, eighth grade and 12th grade, as long as attendance requirements are met. If accepted, parents agree to provide transportation to the school of choice.

Selection is made based on lottery if applications exceed space, and siblings are not guaranteed placement, according to school officials.

“It teaches them about economics, profits, valueadds and marketing,” Perlman said.

The fifth graders carry out a similar project where they create and sell their own products at the end of the year through the Mustang Market.

But it’s not just the students who use design thinking. Teachers and administration regularly employ the method to solve problems at the school, such as developing better teaching programs or ways to track progress. Staff has also worked with students to solve some school issues, such as homework loads.

“As a school, design thinking is amazing,” Perlman said. “I wish I had known about it several years prior. What we tend to do is just find solutions without thinking about the problem. In education, we’re notorious for that.”

Educators will often buy and implement a new education program when scores are down, only to replace it with a new program a year or two later without digging down to find the real problem, Perlman said.

“Using design thinking has really changed our school, because we don’t just jump to a solution,” she said. “We really try to think about what might be happening and talk to people about it.”

The Mountain Park Elementary School Governance Council is currently working to create a foundation to help support school initiatives and programs like design thinking and to increase student access to technology.

Roswell to host Family Health and Wellness Expo May 11

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The City of Roswell is helping residents take a step toward a healthy life.

On May 11, the city will host its annual Family Health and Wellness Expo from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at City Hall, 38 Hill St. “The expo was started as a way to reach out to the community to offer information they may not know of or have access to,” said Health and Wellness Supervisor Nicci Williams. “[It’s] to ensure the community has information on healthy living, wellness programs and access to medical information and offers.”

Attendees will be able to meet with and talk to health professionals, including optometrists, physical therapists, pharmacists and chiropractors. Some of the vendors include Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Ankle & Foot Centers of Georgia, Humana, Sprouts Market, Red Apple Pharmacy, Kaiser Permanente and WNBA Atlanta.

One of the main goals of the expo is to help visitors find and craft a healthy lifestyle, Williams said.

“The expo offers Roswell families an opportunity to participate in free fitness classes and be introduced to local businesses that can help them with a healthy lifestyle,” she said.

Several vendors will offer free screenings, demonstrations, testing and healthy food samples.

“It’s a source of a wealth of information for all ages and demographics,” Williams said.

The Family Health and Wellness Fair is held once a year, but Roswell also offers a sister event in the spring, the Active Adult Health and Wellness Fair, which is primarily geared toward adults ages 50 and up.

Outside of the annual fairs, the city also helps residents stay healthy and active throughout the year through a variety of programs, Williams said.

“We offer an abundance of health, wellness and athletic programs for all ages,” she said. “There are

some free program offerings like Fitness in the Park on Saturdays. We also offer Superkids Fitness camps for children.”

The Fitness in the Park programs are held most Saturday mornings at Historic Roswell Town Square or Riverside Park and include activities like Zumba, Pilates, yoga and bootcamp.

Fulton County approves study for new animal shelter

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — At their May 1 meeting, the Fulton County Commissioners voted 6-0 to spend $270,000 on a feasibility study for a new animal service facility.

The existing animal shelter is 40 years old and does not have the capacity to meet the county’s needs. Alton Adams, Fulton’s deputy chief operating officer for public safety, described the facility on Marietta Boulevard in Atlanta as “grim.”

“The building itself is well beyond its useful life in terms of housing animals,” Adams said. “We need to tear that down.

Whether we build one at that site or build a new facility somewhere else, the facility is just not adequate.”

The approved project will include studying neighboring animal facilities, needs assessment, community input, site selection, conceptual design and

cost estimates for a new facility. The study is expected to be completed in November this year.

The study was contracted to PGAL, Inc. The bulk of the funding, $250,000, was budgeted in the general fund budget and the remainder will come from capitol improvement funds.

“I’m so glad we’re doing this,” Commissioner Liz Hausmann said. “It’s long overdue. I don’t see how you could possible re-do anything in the current facility other than tearing it down.”

“This is a big county and I hope, while we maybe can only do one facility initially, that we do consider some regional type facilities especially for the adoptions,” she continued.

Adams said the study would look at where the animal take-ins and adoptions are concentrated to inform its site recommendations.

There will be a four- to six-week community input process this summer.

Annual Azalea Festival closes out with gala Roswell Rotary Club honored for service

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The fifth annual Roswell Azalea Festival ended its 2019 season with its signature event, the Roswell Azalea Festival Gala.

The gala, held on April 30, drew dozens of the city’s community and civic leaders to the Roswell Mill to celebrate the end of the month-long festival.

The Azalea Festival was created as a fundraiser by a think tank of women volunteers at the Cottage School, which serves students with special needs. Festival organizers continue this tradition by holding the gala in benefit of The Cottage School Scholarship Endowment Fund.

“[Roswell Azalea Festival Chair] Sandy Buhler and a group of ladies got together at The Cottage School and said, ‘We need to raise some money for muchneeded scholarships for students,’” said presenter Bob Hagan. “They started it, and in the past five years, they’ve raised $75,000 for scholarships.”

Each year at the gala, Azalea Festival organizers honor a community member or organization for their contributions and service to the community. Previous honorees are the Roswell Historical Society, Bob Hagan, Dotty Etris and the Chattahoochee Nature Center. This year, the gala honored the Roswell Rotary Club for its contributions to over 30 nonprofits in the area.

“The Roswell Rotary Club is a very special service club,” Hagan said. “They do good things in this community. They do good things in this state. And, they

The club, now in its 68th year, boasts more than 250 members who raised over $200,000 this past year for 30 local charities. Some of the Roswell Rotary Club’s ties and service with the community include the Be THE Voice program, Interact Clubs in Roswell’s schools, partnering with the city for the annual

Memorial Day ceremonies, the Honor Air program for veterans and Lunches for Learning in Honduras. Its members have helped in local causes such as ending human trafficking, raising awareness of the opioid epidemic, blood drives and local warming centers for the homeless.

Most recently, the club was honored once again as the number one club of the year for District 6900, and its president, Becky Stone, received a leadership award as the best president of District 6900.

“Roswell Rotary loves Roswell,” Stone said upon receiving the gala award. “I can promise you that this next year and the next 68 years, Roswell Rotary will continue to impact Roswell and the rest of the world. Thank you so much for honoring all of the dedicated service that Roswell Rotary has done.”

Entertainment at the gala included performances by the Briefcase Brigade and the Fly Betty Band. Sponsors included Jennifer Barnes of Keller Williams Realty, Sandy Buhler, Bob Hagan of Sterling Healthcare, Lee Heisman of Savant Comprehensive Technical Solutions, Rick and Judy Meer of Meer Electric, and Bill and Patsy Wolff.

The gala’s past honorees were also present at the celebration.

“This group continues to do so much for Roswell,” Hagan said. “We have an unbelievable community and an unbelievable city. And you, our citizens, make it better and better and better every year.”

Jordan takes over Alpharetta girls basketball program

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A familiar face in the Alpharetta community has been named the new girls varsity basketball coach. Rickey Jordan, who has served as the director of the Junior Raiders program for three years, will lead the Raiders girls program beginning in the 2019-20 season.

Jordan replaces David Walden who stepped down after four seasons. The Raiders compiled a 66-44 record under Walden and reached the playoffs three years.

Jordan has taught in the Alpharetta area for 16 years, including stints at Webb Bridge Middle, and said his experience as a local educator can serve him well in his new position.

“I’ve been involved with the Alpharetta community for a very long time,” Jordan said. “I know the community, the parents, the students, I know Alpharetta through and through and I became a man in this area.

Besides bleeding Alpharetta’s colors, I’ve been around a lot of the players in the junior program, and I think my experience as an educator bodes well for what I hope to accomplish here.”

Jordan has set out two goals for the Raiders program. He said the first is to build relationships with his players, investing in them not just as athletes but as individuals.

Another goal is what he calls “grind time,” putting in the effort needed for a successful season and to continue Alpharetta’s success in recent years.

“That’s why we are getting into the gym,” Jordan said. “I’ll be here all summer and committed to getting in the gym and getting to work. I do feel we can be competitive in this region and take what we have and develop to get ourselves in a position to compete in the state tournament.”

The Raiders 2019-20 season will feature a host of new talent after graduating five seniors.

“They know they now have the opportunity to step up,” Jordan said. “We are into that 2019-20 season, and it’s time to build that excitement and that investment into each player.”

Jordan said he is a meticulous planner and will burn the midnight oil to develop a game plan for each Alpharetta matchup and communicate that plan with his team.

His attention to detail goes beyond the short term.

“I am really invested in the senior program and want to involve our junior program as well,” Jordan said. “That’s the foundation for our program moving forward. I want them to get as much training for the high school system as possible. For us, it’s really committing to the work we have ahead this season and investing in the future.”

There is no specific scheme Jordan and the Raiders will run next season, but the new head coach said he will tailor the squad to its strengths. He’s also excited to develop the team’s younger players who now have an opportunity to step up.

“I’m really excited for the year ahead and getting us moving in a positive direction,” Jordan said.

@RICKEYJORDANJR/TWITTER

Rickey Jordan has been named Alpharetta’s new head girls basketball coach. Jordan has been the director of the Junior Raiders program for three years and served as an assistant on the boys JV team last year.

Denmark will go on the road against West Laurens in the quarterfinals.

St. Francis falls to Savannah Country Day (12-11, 14-4): St. Francis’ successful season ended May 2 with the Knights dropping their series to No. 7 seed Savannah Country Day.

The Knights battled in a high-scoring Game 1 where both squads combined for 23 runs. St. Francis plated nine runs in the fourth inning to take a 9-6 lead. Kyle Bork had an incredible inning for the Knights, hitting a lead-off home run before hitting a three-run home-run in his second plate appearance of the inning.

SCD reclaimed the lead and went up 12-9 in the fifth inning behind four hits, including a three-run home run.

The Knights cut the margin to 1211 in the top of the sixth on a two-RBI double from Will Clark, but two strikeouts and a groundout ended St. Francis’ comeback bid in the seventh.

Clark pitched 4.1 innings allowing six hits and three earned runs. Carter Davies allowed two hits and two earned runs in 1.2 innings.

SCD put up more big offensive numbers in Game 2 with 14 runs off 13 hits.

St. Francis trailed 6-0 in the bottom of the third before a two-out rally cut the deficit to 6-4. Bork hit a home run and Bret Madren, Griffin Weaver and Clark hit doubles to plate four runners. However, the Knights were held to just two more hits in the remainder of the game while the Hornets continued to rack up runs.

St. Francis went 21-9 overall this season.

Fellowship Christian downs Mt. Vernon (8-1, 3-4, 12-5): Fellowship Christian advanced to the quarterfinals May 3 with a 12-5 win over Mt. Vernon in the decisive Game 3 of the series.

The Paladins jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning and kept scoring pace with Mt. Vernon over the last three innings.

Fellowship compiled 20 hits in the game. Isaac Bouton batted 4-5 with two RBIs, Preston Joye batted 3-4 with two RBIs and two doubles and Cameron Gill batted in three runners.

Matson Grose earned the win with a five-inning performance allowing nine hits and three earned runs.

Bouton threw a no-hitter in Game 1 to lead the Paladins’ 8-1 win. Bouton struck out 10 batters and had three walks in seven innings.

Bouton helped his own cause in the fourth inning with an RBI double and the Paladins added three more runs on two Mt. Vernon errors.

Grose earned his second RBI of the contest with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning along with RBI singles from Andrew Davidson and Luke Schmidt.

After taking Game 1 in decisive fashion, Fellowship fell short in a closely contested Game 2.

The Paladins trailed 3-2 in the sixth inning but tied the game on a David Bishop RBI single.

Mt. Vernon reclaimed the lead with two hits in the top of the seventh to go up 4-3. Fellowship stranded a runner in the bottom of the frame to force the door-die Game 3.

Fellowship will go on the road to take on Wesleyan in the third round.

Roswell hosts first Veteran Business Expo of Georgia Appen Media Group acquires Dunwoody Crier newspaper

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com

ROSWELL, Ga. — Close to 200 veteran business professionals and veteranowned businesses flocked to the Country Club of Roswell on April 30 for the first Veteran Business Expo of Georgia.

The expo allowed veterans who own businesses, entrepreneurs and corporate purchasing professionals to gather for a reverse trade show and matchmaking event.

The expo is the brainchild of the National Veteran Supplier Diversity Coalition, a nonprofit that supports veteran-owned businesses, in partnership with Roswell Inc, the city’s economic development arm.

Brent Moeller, events director for the coalition, said the idea for the expo was born out of frustration with existing trade shows for veterans. He, along with other veterans, had traveled across the country for such events and wanted to see something more engaging in Georgia.

“What we saw was a real frustration on the side of the exhibitors,” Moeller said. “They were trying to get in front of more veterans, and veteran business owners like ourselves were trying to get in front of more companies who want to buy from veterans.”

Many of these trade shows, Moeller said, were open to the general public and tended not to result in fruitful matchups.

To fix the problem, Moeller said he and his group decided to create their own trade show.

“These companies who we’re partnering with for the expo are really focused on veteran-supplier diversity,” he said.

“They’re passionate about giving veterans more opportunities.”

Moeller added that choosing Roswell was a no-brainer.

The Georgia Department of Administrative Services was one of more than 30 exhibitors at the Veteran Business Expo of Georgia held April 30 in Roswell.

“We picked Roswell on purpose, even when we started our own business,” Moeller said. “It’s specifically because of what an awesome place it is to do business… We’re blown away by the community, the resources here, and all of the other amazing business here to network with and grow.”

The signature aspect of the first Veteran Expo of Georgia was its one-on-one matchmaking, where veteran business owners sat down with corporate buyers and government procurement officers to pitch their products and services. Appointments were 15 minutes each in a roundrobin style. The format beforehand after organizers screened and researched the best fit for the businesses and veterans.

It was an opportunity for veterans to pitch their company or ideas to prospective clients.

Matching up the businesses to the veterans before the expo was key to the program’s success, said Jack Ryan, event organizer and Southeast sales director for TMG Contracts.

“It helped people get off on the right foot,” Ryan said. “Hopefully, it helped more people get business out of it and helped them feel that they were being put to more use than some of the other trade shows that we’ve been to.”

More than 30 exhibitors attended the inaugural Veteran Expo of Georgia, with Lockheed Martin as the title sponsor and SAS Software as the partner sponsor.

Moeller said the group plans to host more conferences and expos, including in areas outside of Roswell, such as Texas and Atlanta. Between events, the National Veteran Supplier Diversity Coalition will continue to be a year-round resource for companies to find veteranowned businesses through job listings.

“Our passion is to see these veteranowned businesses be wildly successful, and we want to do it in a way that’s mutually beneficial for other companies,” said Jon Bass, outreach officer for the coalition.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Appen Media Group announced April 19 that it has acquired the Dunwoody Crier weekly newspaper from its publisher Dick Williams. “[I] could not be more excited,” said Appen Media Group General Manager Hans Appen. “It is a rare opportunity to take on a publication as rich in history and as important to the community as the Crier is. We have big shoes to fill, but I think we are up to the task.”

Dunwoody Crier General Manager Jim Heart will join the staff of Appen Media Group, which publishes the weekly Herald newspapers in North Fulton and South Forsyth as well as the monthly Northside Woman and quarterly Answer Books.

“The Crier will continue to serve Dunwoody under the leadership of longtime General Manager Jim Hart and with the additional resources of AMG and the Herald newspapers,” Williams said. “Our veteran reporters will continue their work.”

Appen said the acquisition just made sense.

“There are a lot of synergies between our Herald newspapers and

Knowing your customers is key to business success As a small business owner, how well do you know your customers? What do you do each and every day to better know your customers? Successful small businesses will cite that the key to their dick jones ongoing success is Founder & President Jones Simply Sales that they understand what their customers want and need. How are you facilitating this process in your small business?

Knowing what your customers want should be a main driver of what you provide, and how you provide it. The phrase “build it and they will come” is not a tag line, it’s actually a recipe for ongoing success. There are many ways to facilitate this process.

First and foremost is talking with your customers. This can be done formally by

conducting focus groups or interviewing customers, or done informally by simply talking with customers when they are transacting business with you. Capturing information about what your customers want is only half of the equation. Actually delivering what they want is the hard part.

Small businesses that possess this information and knowledge use it to develop products and services knowing that they already have a market of buyers. Subsequently, they have a much better success rate in attracting and retaining customers.

Often times, small business owners spend their time on everything else other than getting to know their customers.

Conversely, successful small businesses will cite that their knowledge about their customers is their most priceless asset for managing and growing their business. Knowing your customers should always be at the top of your to-do list if you own and run a small business.

Appen Media Group is taking over operations of the Dunwoody Crier weekly newspaper.

Crier: Continued from Page 24 the Crier,” Appen said. “We have similar markets for readers, advertisers and are, frankly, right down Ga. 400 from our building. Our approach and commitment to community journalism is similar, and they were also family owned.”

Appen Media Group plans to continue publishing the Dunwoody Crier in its current format with its existing 18,000 circulation.

Not much will change for the time being, Appen said.

The page size of the Dunwoody Crier will go down about two inches starting the first week of June in order to be

consistent with the size of the Herald newspapers.

“Other than that, and some new news content and advertisers, we will rely on feedback from the community on what they would like to see changed in the future,” Appen said.

Terms for the private acquisition are not being released.

“The Crier has long been the heart of our community,” said Kathy Manos Penn, staff writer for the Dunwoody Crier. “Its stories about all things Dunwoody — our nature center, our parks, our high school sports teams, our theatre and more — connect us as a community. Everyone I encountered out and about was in mourning over the Crier’s demise, and there is now a palpable sense of joy over its return.”

Innovative thinking turns parking lots into soccer fields It’s fun to watch what happens when a group of folks stop looking at the horizon and start noticing what’s going on all around them.

In terms of building and Geoff smith development, for Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com decades, it was all about bigger and further. Builders looked to the suburbs for less expensive, large swaths of land to build expansive swim and tennis communities. We finally started to build up against the limit to which people were willing to commute for work, so folks started to go back to the epicenter that is in-town Atlanta, and re-examine what is already there. What has sprung out of that includes such interesting things as Ponce City Market, the Beltline and the Old Fourth Ward. Suburban downtown centers have been recreated from old buildings in Buford and on Canton Street in Roswell. I always enjoy watching a really good architect take a really old building and turn it into something useful and impactful again.

What I have equally enjoyed watching is how designers and planners have taken some of our more industrial infrastructure that was built during our sprawl and turned it into something that adds to the community, instead of detracts.

In Roswell where I live, there was an area where the Chattahoochee River ran underneath Ga. 400. Growing up, it was just an unattractive part of the river where massive square columns rose out of the water to hold up the loud bridge. But about 20 years or so ago, someone had the smart idea to turn it into a city park called Don White Memorial Park. Today there is a parking lot there where folks can park, enjoy the view and access the Roswell Riverwalk trail system. The columns are still there. And I’ve heard talk from folks who want to hire artists to paint them or install rock-climbing holds. I’m not sure how the Georgia DOT feels about either of those ideas, but it’s exciting to hear people try to reimagine those large, industrial columns.

About the time Keith Parker was named CEO of MARTA, that organiza-

tion went from one of utility, to community. They started to take a second look at their stations and infrastructure and expanded their thought pattern from a narrow focus of just moving people to trying to work themselves more into the fabric of the communities they were in. MARTA partnered with municipal leaders and developers to build TOD’s — Transit-OrientedDevelopments. And several mixed-use projects are underway that are incorporating existing MARTA stations into their designs.

This type of thinking also led them to create partnerships with several soccer organizations around town, including Atlanta United, to build soccer fields in and around their stations.

Two fields are finished and in use at the Five Points and West End stations, and a third is under construction at the East Point station. A league has been created around the fields called StationSoccer, run by an organization called Soccer in the Streets. These fields are open to the public and can be reserved online. Soccer in the Streets uses soccer as an outlet to reach out to youths and groom them to be future leaders. This particular project, like many in Atlanta, has received national attention as a first of its kind.

They say necessity is the mother of invention. And that has been on display as smart people in and around Atlanta have repurposed old buildings and lifeless infrastructures. As more and more people move to Atlanta every year, we will have to get more creative about where to put them. And as land continues to get more and more scarce, thus more and more expensive, affordable housing will become more of an important issue. The Atlanta Metro area is filled with smart solutions right now and it will be fun to see what we can come up with next.

Johns Creek International Festival showcases local talent

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The second annual Johns Creek International Festival showcased diverse food, drinks, music and dance to more than 18,000 visitors April 27.

Organized through a partnership between the city, the Johns Creek Arts Center and the Convention and Visitor Bureau, the free event took place all day at Heisman Field.

Last year, the first International Festival saw more than 22,000 attendees from across the state.

“Many of the food and global market place vendors are local businesses or owned by residents,” CVB Executive Director Shelby Marzen said “The festival is an incredible opportunity to experience the rich cultural diversity of our city all come together for a common purpose.”

Salsa dancers, martial artists, traditional drummers, rock bands and more performed at the festival’s two stages.

The kids zone, organized by the Johns Creek Arts Center, featured crafts inspired by art styles from around the world, such as Delft tile from the Netherlands, fish kites from Japan, and Kente weaving from Ghana.

“It was really cool because the parents came and did it with the children,” Arts Center Curator Althea Foster said. “We had expected a lot of people, but we did not expect this many.”

The idea for the festival was born from a Cultural Diversity Task Force founded in 2016 to study ways to celebrate the city’s diversity.

A study by Wallet Hub found Johns Creek to be the third most diverse city in Georgia, and it ranked 11th in the nation for a city of its size and second for religious diversity out of all the cities included in the study.

With a population of more than 83,000, Johns Creek is home to a sizeable Indian, Chinese, Korean and Mexican popu-

Eye allergies As many of us start to notice a faint yellow dusting on our cars, windows, and patio furniture, we can say that it is officially pollen season in Georgia! As we begin spending more time outside with our friends, families, and pets to enjoy the beautiful spring weather, we need to be aware of common environmental allergens in Georgia that can affect our eyes and respiratory systems.

Eye allergies occur when the body’s immune system becomes hypersensitive to an allergen, or small particles in the environment like pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and mold, that causes an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction happens when allergens come in to contact with antibodies in the eyes, which release chemicals that cause the eyes to become red, itchy, and watery. These symptoms may seem trivial, but some eye allergy symptoms can be so severe that they cause ocular inflammation and impaired vision. In addition, many eye

seasonal activities such as spending time outdoors or with your pets without hindrance.

Our doctors at the Thomas Eye Allergy Clinic in our Roswell location specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of common eye allergies and their symptoms in adults and children aged five and older. Thomas Eye Ocular Allergy Specialist, Stuart Newman, M.D. asserts, “Doctors Allergy Formula provides an FDA approved noninvasive, no-needle, proprietary diagnostic test designed to objectively diagnose specific allergies. This tests for allergens that are most common along with those specific to our geographic location in Georgia.”

Contact our Roswell Office today to schedule your spring allergy consultation in the Allergy Clinic.

allergy symptoms are similar to symptoms of more serious ocular diseases, so an accurate diagnosis is crucial to rule out more serious eye problems.

Whether an eye allergy causes mild redness, or severe itching and discharge, a proper diagnosis will allow you to manage your allergy, and continue to enjoy

All mothers should be aware of preeclampsia

By Dr. Lee B. Padove One of the biggest challenges of preeclampsia during pregnancy is detecting this nuanced disorder. That’s because, sometimes, preeclampsia can show no obvious symptoms. A prenatal lab examination can detect elevated urine protein levels, an indication of preeclampsia.

Other symptoms can include severe headaches, vision changes, swelling, severe breathing issues and even seizures (eclampsia). Early symptom detection is important to improving the odds of a safe pregnancy.

When suspicion of preeclampsia exists, a thorough evaluation may include hospitalization, so health care providers can more closely monitoring the mother, baby and placenta.

The treatment for preeclampsia is the baby’s delivery. If only mild preeclampsia exists and both baby and mother are doing well, delivery ideally will be after 37 weeks. If there is a threat to either the baby’s health or mother’s life, delivery is scheduled earlier.

However, the effects of preeclampsia do not necessarily end after pregnancy.

Women who have had preeclampsia during pregnancy have a higher risk

post-delivery for developing blood pressure problems, high cholesterol, diabetes, along with stroke and heart disease.

Women who experienced preeclampsia during pregnancy are at nearly double the risk for heart disease or stroke in the subsequent five-to-15 years. Women who have had severe preeclampsia may have a greater than six-fold risk.

It is important that women who’ve experienced preeclampsia embark on a healthy lifestyle path and follow preventive measures along with continued screening for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and premature heart disease. For recommendations specific to you, continue regular checkups with your primary care physician or cardiologist.

Dr. Lee B. Padove is a board certified cardiologist at Northside Hospital, whose special interests include cardiac evaluation and treatment during pregnancy.

Northside Hospital’s Maternal Heart Health Clinic educates women about their risk factors and screens them to detect the early development of cardiovascular disease before it progresses.

Biology always surprises and is (nearly) impossible to predict

By Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta In this month’s March issue of JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association), an interesting article apDr. Taylor peared entitled “The Surprisingly Positive Association Between Obesity and Cancer Immunotherapy Efficacy.” The article summarized recent findings that modern immune-system based anti-cancer medications sometimes work better if a patient is obese. This seems to be true in the case of melanoma in males. Obese men with melanoma exhibited increased survival on immunotherapies than non-obese men. This was not true for traditional chemotherapy.

Before we get ahead of ourselves and encourage the men in our lives to eat more and exercise less, it’s worth mentioning that other studies have found that obesity increases our risk of developing cancers in the first place. This is also true for melanoma – in one study, obese men were 31% more likely to develop melanoma than non-obese men.

The aforementioned article simply supports that obese men with a melanoma diagnosis on certain medicines may fare better than fit males with a melanoma diagnosis.

To a physician, the finding of a positive effect of obesity in cancer is even more surprising because obesity is generally thought of as an immunocompromised state. In general, obesity weakens the immune system. Why would a medicine that depends on the immune system work better in someone with an unhealthy immune system?

Perhaps the medicine does not so much depend on the immune system to work as bolster the immune system.

If a lack of a healthy immune system is part of the obese patient’s problem, then should we not have anticipated that the obese patient would experience greater benefit from an immune-bolstering therapy?

Biology is very difficult to predict one or two steps ahead. It is easy to formulate a hypothesis for why an immunebased therapy would be more effective in someone with a compromised immune system, just as it is easy to formulate a hypothesis for why such a medicine might be less effective. Perhaps immunocompromise means immune-based therapies can’t exert their maximum

effect. Or perhaps immunocompromise means immune-based therapies are even better than anticipated because they are meeting a greater need.

Regarding the melanoma case, why would obesity be helpful in men and not women for certain cancers? Women deposit fat differently; fat in different locations can produce different hormones and be more or less pro-inflammatory, and perhaps women were designed to be able to be healthy with higher levels of adipose tissue, but what is the key factor? Biology is very difficult to predict by first principles alone. That is why a familiarity with the medical literature, a willingness to study, and a reliance on experimental results are so critical to a physician’s efficacy. All this is what is meant by the buzz phrase “evidence based medicine.”

And as surprising as it may be that obesity may offer a rare health benefit, you might be interested to find that several “unhealthy” things may result in various benefits. If you’re curious, then look into the evidence that tobacco use may lower the risk of Parkinson disease, ulcerative colitis and be associated with lower risk of obesity… almost everything carries risk and reward. Many times, a physician’s job is to help you balance risk and reward: Is it really important that you spend less time in the sun?

Should you have this surgery? These are all risk and reward questions that can be answered with the help of a (or several) qualified physicians.

Dr. Brent Taylor is board certified in dermatology, certified by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, and is fellowship-trained in Mohs micrographic surgery, cutaneous oncology and the treatment of varicose veins and venous disorders. If you or a loved one has a history of skin cancer, a suspicious spot, a vein issue or other dermatologic need, consider making an appointment at Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta today.

Erosion: What you eat and drink can impact teeth

By Dr. David Remaley Roswell Dental Care Think that only sweet-tasting drinks and snacks are harmful for your teeth? Think again.

Sugar isn’t the only dietary factor that can Dr. REMALEY damage your smile.

Foods and beverages that are high in acids wear away the enamel that protects your teeth, a process known as tooth erosion. This changes the appearance of your teeth and opens the door for bacteria that can cause cavities or infection.

What does tooth erosion do to my teeth?

Tooth erosion is permanent. If your enamel has started to wear away, you may: • Feel pain or sensitivity when consuming hot, cold or sweet drinks • Notice a yellowish discoloration of the teeth • Find that your fillings have changed • Face greater risks for more cavities over time • Develop an abscess, in very extreme cases • Experience tooth loss, also in very extreme cases • Once erosion occurs, you may need fillings, crowns, a root canal or even tooth removal. Veneers may also be an option to restore the look of your smile.

Acidic foods and beverages to watch for Here’s a quick tip: If what you’re eating or drinking is citrus or citrusflavored, carbonated or sour, it’s best to limit how much you consume.

Nutritious, acidic foods like tomatoes and citrus fruits can have some acidic effects on tooth enamel, so eat them as part of a meal, not by themselves. Dried fruits, including raisins, can also cause problems because they are sticky and adhere to teeth, so the acids produced by cavity-causing bacteria continue to harm teeth long after you stop eating them.

Still, the major erosion culprit is soft drinks, especially soda and sports drinks.

Even if they are sugar-free, they are more likely to be acidic thanks to carbonation.

That bubbly fizz raises the acid level of any drink, regardless of its flavor.

Acid in beverages can also come from citrus flavorings such as lemon, lime and orange. Even all-natural beverages like orange juice or fresh-squeezed lemonade are higher in acid than regular water, so make them an occasional treat instead of a daily habit.

And speaking of treats, some sour candies are almost as acidic as battery acid, and many use citric acids

to get that desired effect. If you like a little sour with your sweet tooth, please pucker in moderation.

Tips for protecting your teeth You can reduce tooth erosion from what you eat and drink by following these tips: • Wait an hour before you brush after eating acidic foods to give your saliva a chance to naturally wash away acids and re-harden your enamel.

• Limit – or avoid – acidic beverages like soft drinks. If you do indulge, use a straw.

• When drinking something like a soft drink, do not swish or hold it in your mouth longer than you need to. Just sip and swallow.

• After acidic meals or beverages, rinse your mouth with water, drink milk or enjoy a snack of cheese right afterward.

• Dairy and other calcium-rich foods can help neutralize acids.

• Saliva helps keep acids under control.

To keep your saliva flowing and protecting your teeth, chew sugarless gum with the ADA Seal of Acceptance.

• Look for dental health products with the ADA Seal of Acceptance. This means the product is safe and effective, and some have been awarded the ADA Seal specifically because they help prevent and reduce enamel erosion from dietary acids.

• Talk to your dentist. Your dentist can explain the effects of nutritional choices on your teeth, including the various foods and beverages to choose and which ones to avoid. Knowing all you can about the effects of what you eat and drink on your teeth can help keep your smile bright over a lifetime.

If you think you have sleep apnea, make sure to speak with your physician or dentist for more information and possible evaluation. Roswell Dental Care offers a complete assessment of your oral health and will help establish a plan to eliminate any sleeping disorders that you might be experiencing.

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 steady-state activities, like walking on a treadmill or biking, there is no mo-

mentary 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!

NORTH ATLANTA’S HOT TOPICS ON PODCAST Cancer …

Now what?

By Jonathan Stegall, MD Many people envision cancer as a foreign invader, such as bacteria, but it is not. Rather, it occurs as a result of the body’s own cells becoming so worn down and damaged that they must mutate in order to survive. As these mutated Dr. Stegall cells grow, a tumor forms which affects the body in significant ways.

This process is quite complicated, requiring many steps over a significant period of time. For this reason, I find it baffling that mainstream cancer treatment takes such a simplistic approach.

Although surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are valuable treatments which we need, they are not nearly enough to address the many facets of cancer. If we truly want to improve our cancer treatment outcomes, we must broaden our horizons and incorporate a wider variety of treatments, including sound nutrition, intelligent supplementation, exercise, and stress reduction, just to name a few. This requires good science and an open mind.

For this reason, I have created a website, cancersecrets.com. This website has lots of free content including podcast episodes as well as blog posts. It also has information about my bestselling book. I highly encourage you to utilize these resources if you or a loved one is dealing with cancer! It could mean the difference between a good outcome and a bad one.

The importance of nutrition and exercise in pregnancy

By Kortney Rogers Certified Nurse Midwife, Modern OBGYN Nutrition and exercise are vital aspects of pregnancy and managing each can lead to an overall KORTNEY healthier pregnancy ROGERS, CNM experience. During pregnancy, you need approximately 300 extra calories. It’s important to eat wellbalanced meals throughout the day to get the proper amount of calories, along with vitamins and minerals that support the development of your baby.

A prenatal vitamin is recommended along with healthy snacks and foods that consist of a variety of vegetables, proteins, and fruits along with healthy grains. You should try to keep sweets to a minimum and avoid alcohol. A healthy diet can help common preg-

Exercise is also an important part of pregnancy and is an essential tool in improving overall fitness and maintaining health. It can be used to help with some of the common discomforts that occur in pregnancy, such as lower back and pelvic pain. Exercise should be tailored to each individual, as everyone has different needs and risk factors. If you were exercising prior to pregnancy, it is usually safe to continue to do so. If

you are new to fitness, you should start slow. Taking a walk 3 times a week for 30 minutes is a good way to start.

A good rule of thumb is to exercise to a point where you can still carry on a conversation, but you can’t sing. Working your way up to 30 minutes of moderate exercise on most days is a great goal.

Senior women’s group entertains retirement homes

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com GEORGIA — When looking for live entertainment in the Atlanta suburbs, one usually thinks of the high school drama departments or the handful of professional groups, but there is a group of women over 60 that has been entertaining for decades.

The Dazzlin’ Dames is a group of senior women who put on a Vaudevillestyle show, performing at churches, retirement homes and theatres around the state.

The group was originally formed by contestants in the Ms. Senior Georgia pageant, as a way for participants to keep in touch throughout the year.

“People said there was a need for getting out and entertaining folks who are in these facilities,” said Carolynn Wilson, a 10-year member of the performing group. “The ladies just decided to get together and do it.”

The Dazzlin’ Dames put on around 30 shows a year, Wilson said. The shows typically run about an hour, with a mix of singing, dancing and comedy acts.

“Every show is a little different,” said Wilson.

Wilson said she was never on a stage

They still get out there and dance and sing. And they’re something else.

until she first participated in the pageant when she turned 60.

“I felt that I had no talent, but I had a good time,” Wilson said. “I just love making people laugh.”

To be a part of the Dazzlin’ Dames, you must have participated in the pageant and be 60 or older. The oldest members are 91.

“They still get out there and dance and sing,” Wilson said. “And they’re something else. They are fabulous.”

The best part of being a Dazzlin’ Dame is the friendships formed, Wilson said. She also loves bringing smiles to the faces in the audience.

GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA

OPINION

The persistence of birds If you do much TV watching, you’ve probably heard what’s been happening the last week or so on Jeopardy, the near-legendary answer-and-question TV game show.

The idea behind STEVE HUDSON Jeopardy is straightGet Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net forward: There’s a game board with categories, and under each category there are a bunch of hidden answers. Contestants pick the unseen answers and then must come up with the corresponding question. If they get the question right, they are awarded money. It’s oddly appealing, and I’ve been a fan for almost as long as the show has been on.

But the last week or so has been special. It seems that contestant James Holzhauer has been racking up the wins big-time (around $1.2 million at last count) and he’ll keep going until another contestant claims the “champion” title.

Anyway, the other night, one of the answers had to do with the Salvadore Dali painting “The Persistence of Memory.”

Registered Agent Michael Sard

You may have seen it; it’s the one that features melting watches against a cryptic landscape with lots of other little details to ponder as you try to figure out what it means. I actually got to see the original, one day long ago, and I still remember it vividly —see? The persistence of memory and all that. I’m no art critic — far from it — but that one strikes a chord.

The persistence of memory…yeah...

But it’s nothing compared to the persistence of birds.

You’ll recall that my “bird binoculars” have opened up a whole new world of outdoor adventure. Thanks to the wonders of optical physics, they let me appreciate all sorts of feathered creatures from a distance that doesn’t disturb the creatures I’m admiring. Those binocular lenses really are windows into a world I would otherwise not see.

The birds, for their part, seem to appreciate the attention and actually seem to be going out of their way to make my novice bird-watching easier and more convenient. Just a few minutes ago, for instance, a cardinal decided to take a break right there outside my window.

And yesterday a hummingbird (yes, one of those!) hovered for perhaps 30 seconds not three feet from my nose. Neat!

But the award for most accommodating bird has to go to the one which is, persistently, trying to build a nest in our mailbox.

My first hint that this was going on was the discovery of a handful of pinestraw on top of the assortment of advertising circulars, credit card solicitations, and buy-one-get-one cheeseburger offers that these days passes for mail. I used to love to get mail and still do, going so far as to ask my world-traveling friends to send me an old-fashioned postcard from wherever they happen to be. The arrival of one of those cards is an occasion of great excitement and much more interesting than even the juiciest two-for-one

burger offering. Y’all remember that. If you travel somewhere fun this summer, send me a postcard. I promise I’ll put it on my cork board for all to see.

But I digress. Back to the straw.

Figuring that said straw-in-themailbox was the result of, oh, maybe a mis-directed leaf blower, I gave it not a thought as I swept out the straw. Ellie the Miniature Schnauzer, who was helping me get the mail, looked pointedly at me as I did so. Then I retrieved the day’s haul (two catalogs and a real estate liquidation promo) and went back inside for some iced tea.

I didn’t think about the straw again until the next day when (you guessed it) I found more of it (and some twigs and moss too) in the box, again atop the mail.

I cleaned it all out again (Ellie looked at me even more pointedly) and retrieved two more credit card offers and dual promos promising me significant savings on eyeglasses and shoes.

The next day was Sunday. No mail is delivered on Sunday. But then came Monday – and lo and behold, what should await Ellie and me on Monday evening but yet another mass of straw,

much bigger than the previous ones and this time with a telltale indentation right there in the middle.

Ellie looked at me meaningfully, as if to say, “See?” Yep, you guessed it. Those persistent little birds had apparently decided to make birdwatching really easy for me by building a nest right there in the mailbox, no matter how many times I tried to mess up their plans.

But now that I’m enlightened, I’ve got a dilemma. Clearly, I have to fetch the mail. Even with all the junque mail we get, it’s still a highlight of my day, and yes, I do get teased a bit for that.

I’ve gotta get the mail. But I don’t want to dump a nest-to-be either.

Oh, decisions.

The moral of this story is probably that bird nests are where you find them, or something like that. This really is a great time of year to look for them, too.

For even more fun, take a kid or grandkid with you. I’ll bet you won’t have to look too long before you too spot a one of ‘em too.

Yeah, that might be exactly what the moral is. Or maybe it’s just a testimony to the persistence of birds.

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars.

800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
