ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police are investigating an incident in which a woman was scammed out of $15,000 by someone posing as an app’s manager.

On June 21, the woman attempted to transfer $500 to her sister using an app called “Cash App.” A few days later, after her sister had still not received the funds, the woman called what appeared to be the app’s service number.

The woman spoke to a man who claimed to be the manager. He said he would send a prompt on her app to reimburse the money.

The woman received the prompt and clicked it. She

Thief takes electronics left in parked vehicle ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police are investigating a June 25 incident in which a man’s car was burglarized.

The car owner had parked his car at Lakeview Parkway close to 3 p.m. He returned two hours later and saw that his car’s window was shattered.

The man said his backpack with his laptop and Bose headphones was missing. The total value of the missing items is $1,600.

There were no nearby security cameras.

Alleged drug dealer arrested in undercover operation ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police arrested a Norcross man June 25 after he contacted an undercover officer to sell MDMA and LSD. The man contacted the undercover officer over social media. He used the app “Wickr Me,” which deletes conversations and notifies users if a screenshot is taken, to finalize a deal.

Police stopped the man when he arrived to sell the narcotics. The man denied having any narcotics in his car, but a K-9

received nine more prompts, which she continued to click, because she said she thought she was having issues with her phone. Each prompt charged her $500.

When the woman called the man again, he said he would help her fill out paperwork to reimburse all of the funds. He then sent another prompt to reimburse $10,000, over double the amount the woman had lost.

The woman accepted the prompt, and her bank froze her account. The bank said the money had been used to purchase Bitcoins, and she was refunded the $10,000. She was told to file a police report to recover the rest of the funds.

Arrest for shoplifting turns up stolen car ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police arrested a man June 23 for shoplifting from the Von Maur on North Point Circle.

The loss prevention officer said he saw the man try on a shirt, put a jacket over it and leave without paying.

The man, 27-year-old Clifford Grier of Roswell, was arrested for theft by shoplifting and theft by receiving.

Vandal employs feet to damage vehicle ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A woman called police June 23 after she saw that her car was damaged while it was parked in her driveway on Gardner Drive.

The car was undamaged when the woman left in another person’s car at 7 p.m. for dinner.

When she returned an hour later, the woman saw that her driver-side taillight was broken and the pieces were scattered on the ground. The driver-side door also had a dent with a shoeprint.

The print looked like someone had backed up to the door and kicked it backwards, police said. A second shoeprint was next to the first. The second print looked like someone had faced the car to kick it, police said.

Beauty store reports theft of $500 worth of cologne ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police are investigating a June 25 incident in which $500 worth of cologne was stolen from the ULTA on North Point Parkway.

The manager said a man and two women had entered the store that evening. The group was seen placing cologne in two bags and left without paying.

The Herald strives to provide a complete account of major crimes in the cities of Alpharetta and Roswell. We do this because we believe it is important residents remain aware of information that affects their lives, their safety and their property.

For the past year, we have been unable to fulfill this responsibility completely because the City of Roswell has refused to release detailed crime reports to us. To defend your rights as citizens to have access to this information, we entered a legal challenge against the city.

This is in contrast to other cities we cover who choose to comply with your rights under the law to have access to this information.

Readers should note that the lack of crime stories out of Roswell on our public safety pages does not mean there is no crime in Roswell. It means the city feels no obligation to share detailed crime information with the public.

Readers should also note that the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety chooses a different tack, one of the openness prescribed in state law. It releases detailed crime reports in a timely manner. This does not mean there is excessive crime in Alpharetta. It only means Alpharetta residents are better informed.

Amount Appen Media Group has spent in legal fees to gain access to Roswell’s police records: $8,701 Amount the City of Roswell has spent in legal fees to keep the public in the dark: $12,143

We need your help.

Public gets first look at Chattahoochee Greenway plan Path would run from Buford Dam south to Newnan

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Big plans are underway for the Chattahoochee River.

Consultants are studying how to build a 100-mile greenway along the waterway, connecting Buford Dam to Chattahoochee Bend State Park.

The Atlanta Regional Commission, in conjunction with nonprofit The Trust for Public Land, the city of Atlanta and Cobb County, has commissioned an 18-month study to develop plans for such a greenway.

The goals of the study are to promote ecological preservation, increase biking and walking, improve access to the river and surrounding cultural landmarks, and to make the waterway a crown jewel for the Atlanta Region.

The Chattahoochee Riverlands project is made up of three types of trails.

The greenway would be the main multiuse trail running along the river. Tributary trails would connect the greenway to existing parks, cultural landmarks and trails, like the Big Creek Greenway.

The “blueway” would include recreational opportunities on the river.

The project is also divided into northern, middle and southern legs of the river. Stretching from Buford Dam in Forsyth County to the state park in Newnan, Ga., the greenway could connect suburban, urban and rural parts of the region.

Along the northern, or suburban, section of the waterway, the Chattahoochee River National Recreational Area and its network of parks could be an asset for the project, but low-density subdivisions and little public transporta-

At a June 23 public input session in Johns Creek, some attendees said they were worried about how the project could affect their neighborhoods.

the team has begun sharing preliminary plans and seeking public input for the project.

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com

If you go

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta is poised to host the first North Fulton Special Needs Services and Expo.

The free expo will be held on Saturday, July 27 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Alpharetta Community Center, 175 Roswell St. The cities of Johns Creek, Milton and Roswell as well as the Ed Isakson YMCA are partners in the expo.

“The inspiration for this event comes from the cities involved and the agencies’ desire to provide more activities, programming and both informational and fun events for this exceptional population,” said Christine Young, Alpharetta Recreation Services Manager. “It was the vision of the North Fulton Special Needs Task Force that was formed by the leadership of the North Fulton cities and other providers of services for individuals and families with special needs to collectively work together to improve the quality of life for these exceptional individuals.”

The expo will bring together resources for parents and care givers of people with special needs. Some of the businesses and resources available at

the expo will include medical professionals, education resources, respite care, therapy, life skills, job training, fitness and recreation. Children’s activities will be scattered throughout the event.

“People who are navigating through the myriad of information and agencies available to them will find this event helpful, as well as seasoned parents and care givers finding undiscovered resources for their children, teens and young adults,” Young said.

The expo will also help advocate for people with disabilities and provide a networking opportunity to build relation-

ships, Young added.

“This annual event will continue to grow and provide valuable resources to parents and create partnerships with the businesses and agencies involved,” she said.

BrewAble Cafe, a nonprofit dedicated to providing meaningful employment for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities, will provide tea, coffee and snacks. It is available yearround in the Alpharetta Community Center lobby.

Expo staff expect 25-30 vendors this year and are still accepting vendor ap-

plications until noon on Monday, July 8. Vendor costs are $25 for nonprofits and $50 for commercial businesses. All proceeds will be entered into a raffle and awarded to one of the attendee families to be used toward one of the services represented at the expo, Young said.

Roswell Rotary leadership changes hands

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The Roswell Rotary Club year has drawn to a close, and a new president is taking the reins.

The club met June 27 at Gate City Brewing to say goodbye to outgoing President Becky Stone, honor Rotarians who have made significant contributions and introduce incoming President Gordon Owens.

“Roswell Rotary had so many highlights this year,” Stone said. “It’s hard to pick just a few.”

The visit from Rotary International President Barry Rassin and his wife Esther was one of the top moments from her term and a historic day for the Roswell Rotary Club, Stone said.

In February, the Rassins met with local Rotary members and Interact clubs to speak about Rotary Club’s mission and about helping others. During the visit, local Rotary and Interact clubs collected and packed more than 5,000 pounds of supplies for seniors in Puerto Rico and raised over $5,000 for the End Polio Now initiative.

Under Stone’s leadership, the Roswell Rotary Club also raised and distribute over $200,000 to local charities, helped open a warming center at North Fulton Community Charities, provided over $10,000 in tools for Roswell High School construction efforts, and provided supplies and hoodies to veterans at the Veterans Empowerment Organization.

The club also hosted speakers each week to engage, challenge and educate members and guests, Stone added.

“The needs in our community are great, and we are always challenged with identifying and acting on the projects where we can make the most impact on the needs that are greatest — both with our time and our resources,” Stone said. “Roswell Rotary is full of passionate people that want to do good in the world and particularly in Roswell, so we have many, many projects. As Roswell Rotary President, it is a challenge (but a good one) to participate in all of the amazing things that we do…

“I am grateful for the opportunity to have served with so many wonderful people and to accomplish so much for our youth, veterans, and members. I look forward to continuing to serve others through Roswell Rotary and building on the wonderful relationships I made this year.”

Owens started his term July 1 and will hold his position until June 30. He joined the Rotary Club in March 2011 and has served on the club’s board for five years.

Owens said that as president, he will follow Rotary International’s new theme, “Rotary Connects the World.”

“My plan is to follow that theme by connecting our members to each other, build connections with the community organizations we support, and ultimately connecting our members to the world through international service projects,” Owens said.

Owens will also work closely with HomeStretch, a nonprofit that helps homeless families find permanent housing, to build a Rotary Learning Lab to provide access to onsite tutoring for children. Funding for the

OPINION

(Don’t) sleep on this issue When I was a kid, I was a huge fan of Myth Busters. Who doesn’t like watching stuff being blown up on TV with the excuse that it’s for science?

Explosions aside, one episode stuck out Julia Grochowski to me and has stayed Reporter julia@appenmediagroup.com with me throughout the years. I think about it almost every time I get behind the wheel and every time I’m tired.

It was a test for how well people could drive after missing out on sleep.

Their conclusions? When you drive sleep deprived, you might as well be drunk.

You’re driving that poorly.

It seems like a simple enough fix.

Just don’t drive when you’re tired. Get more sleep. Problem solved, right?

The disconnect there for me is that we seem to live in a society that champions sleep deprivation.

It’s a common bragging right, especially among students. How many times have you heard someone talk about how late they stayed up last night with a grin on their face, only for another to butt in about how they only got three hours of sleep. As if it’s a contest, one in which no one wins.

How many think pieces have you read crowing about the author’s productivity and genius for starting their days at 5 a.m., 4 a.m. Without mentioning that to get the recommended eight hours of sleep, that means they would have to go to bed at 8 p.m.

If you can achieve that schedule and are happy with it, and I mean this sincerely, more power to you. It’s just not for me.

For most people, including myself, if you go to bed that early, you have no social life and are boring. It’s called night life for a reason, after all. That’s when all the parties, movies and social gatherings are held. It’s important to go have fun and live a little every now and then.

But if you wake up later than usual to recover from your night out or night working on some project, you’re lazy and have wasted the whole day.

So, you might bite the bullet and go to work or school after four hours of sleep. That’s what coffee is for, to get you through the day.

People joke all the time about being addicted to coffee, and don’t get me wrong, I love my caffeine. It is a little concerning, however, to be reminded that caffeine is considered the most commonly used drug in the world and to hear someone say, unironically, that they can’t get through the day without their morning cup of joe, because they’re so sleep deprived.

The effects of sleep deprivation are numerous, including memory issues, mood changes, weakened immunity, weight gain and high blood pressure — there’s a reason it’s been used as a form of torture. Yet, people continue to put it on the backburner when faced with their ever growing “to do” list.

I don’t have all the answers for how to improve sleep in your life — there are hundreds, thousands, of articles and talks online with information about that topic from people much more qualified to talk about it. But people shouldn’t neglect sleep so much and should stop applauding lack of sleep.

Please, if you have the opportunity, try to go to bed a little earlier tonight or take a quick nap. Be kind to yourself.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Open government is best government Last week I saw a statement from Appen Media in regard to a dispute over transparency between Appen Media Group and the City of Roswell.

I will readily admit that I don’t understand the nuance to open records laws; nor the manor at which my sister city responds. I actually just assume everything I write can be accessed;

Car horns do serve a purpose While I agree there is no place for rudeness, very little honking actually falls in that category. No one wants to be honked at, so all honking tends to be classified as rude. That said, horns are on cars for a reason.

Today, distracted driving is a national safety crisis. The smart phone gets blamed for most, but the myriad of advanced technologies inside cars today is also a cause. Distracted drivers need to be honked at and ticketed, even if they’re stopped!

Another chronic problem I will call “unpredictable driving courtesies.”

Example 1: When a car stops and waves an oncoming car to turn left in front of them, not considering the car or cars in the lanes to their right which may not see that a car is about to cross in front of them… leading to an accident or sudden stopping of two lanes of traffic and a multi vehicle pile-up. People who illegally wave others through and those who take that bait need to be honked at and ticketed.

Example 2: “Merge means merge” it does not mean “stop,” and can lead to

FINAL TWO WEEKS!

and leave the legal stuff to our professional staff. Most of my constituents are amazing people who wake up and go to work. They’re busy. Residents of North Fulton largely have no idea who I am, and that’s okay. I get lumped into the bucket of elected official by choice. That choice can have both good and bad connotations in life. I accept that. I have met almost everyone on council

See LETTERS, Page 28 dangerous consequences. People who cannot safely navigate a merge at an appropriate speed need to be honked at and ticketed.

Example 3: Cars that turn left using the center lane immediately following a stop light or stop sign. That center lane is for a left turn at the light for oncoming traffic, not for you to use to turn into the drug store or church. That needs to be honked at and ticketed.

Stopping or slowing a vehicle in ways that are unpredictable and disrupt natural traffic flow is dangerous.

Lights and horns are how we communicate intentions and how we are seen on the roadways.

I conclude with these famous “5 seeing eye habits” - Aim high in steering - Get the big picture - Keep your eyes moving - Leave yourself an out - Make sure they see you (honk) None of these habits suggest staring at gadgets, socializing, dozing off, eating or doing makeup etc. while driving.

City invites youth to design annual parade T-shirt

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell youths have a chance to flex their artistic muscles this summer in a citywide T-shirt design contest.

Through Aug. 19, Roswell residents age 18 and under can submit designs for the 69th annual Frances McGahee Youth Day Parade T-shirt. This year’s theme, chosen by the Roswell Recreation Commission, is “Be Someone’s Hero.”

“This year’s theme was chosen in honor of our adaptive participants who will be the grand marshalls at the 69th annual Frances McGahee Youth Day Parade,” said Cultural Services Supervisor Corinne Sutherlin. “Anyone can be an everyday hero by helping someone in need by volunteering or just being a friend.”

Morgan Whitley, an 11-year-old Crabapple Middle School student, won last year’s contest with a hand-drawn design. She depicted the theme, “Roswell Plays on the River,” with a large “R” made out of water and that contains people and fish swimming, kayaking and floating in the letter.

The 2018 contest was its inaugural year and saw close to 40 entries. The

community has loved the contest, and the city is hoping to receive even more submission this year, Sutherlin said.

The benefits of the contest are numerous, she added. “[The benefits are] to engage the community in an already successful event and getting the community more involved in supporting our youth.,” Sutherlin said. “Roswell still gives you a small hometown feel, and having one of our very own Roswell resident’s original art on a T-shirt is just a fun way to connect us all.”

Design submissions must contain original art, either hand drawn or digitally illustrated, created by the submitter. It cannot contain clip art, must incorporate this year’s theme and must be drawn with black ink only. Submissions should be a high-resolution JPEG, PDF or PNG file.

The winner will receive three free Tshirts with their design. They will also be recognized both at the Youth Day Parade and at a Roswell City Council meeting.

The T-shirt design contest is part of Roswell’s larger celebration of one of the city’s most beloved traditions, the Frances McGahee Youth Day Parade.

This year, the parade will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12, beginning at

The Historic Roswell 5K Road Race will be held in conjunction with the parade and will start at 9:45 a.m. at the Roswell United Methodist Church on Mimosa Boulevard and ends at Roswell Area Park. Proceeds benefit the Friends

of the Roswell Parks’ “Play It Forward” program. After the parade, the Smith Plantation will host Fall Farm Days from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. with demonstrations, a petting zoo, wagon rides, crafts and face painting.

GET OUTSIDE GEORGIA

Trout fishing below Buford Dam, part 2 The Fourth of July weekend was really hot, and days like the ones we’ve just had make the prospect of standing in a cold trout stream particularly appealing. Any trout stream will do. But some STEVE HUDSON are more well known Get Outside Georgia, than others. One of aa4bw@comcast.net the most popular is the stretch of the Chattahoochee River near Buford Dam. Last time we started talking about fishing for trout below Buford Dam, we got sidetracked (well, not really – it was intentional) with a discourse on safety on that section of the river. The short version is that the river below Buford Dam can be dangerous because of water releases, but if you understand how to deal with ‘em then the experience becomes a lot safer and less worrisome.

Note the requirement to wear a life jacket, and understand the importance of understanding release schedules.

The section of river below Buford Dam is extremely popular with trout anglers, and it’s easy to see why.

For one thing, it’s readily accessible,

especially via Lower Pool West recreation area on the river not far below the dam. The road which takes you there turns off Buford Dam Road just before the west end of the dam. Look for an electrical substation and, nearby, a large sign. Make the turn and follow the road past the parking fee kiosk (a small fee is charged to use the Lower Pool area) and then, eventually, to parking areas, picnic facilities and a boat ramp.

Many anglers like to start at the ramp, wading and fishing the nearby water. A pedestrian bridge a short distance upriver from the boat ramp carries you across to the east side, and you’ll find fishing access there too in the form of a wooden bridge. It’s a good spot if you want to stay dry.

What if you’d rather wade? The area in front of the boat ramp is a popular wading area. Just remember that the water is cold. Almost every angler I’ve spoken with wears waders to combat the chill.

When wading near the dam, you’ll definitely want footwear designed to provide traction on really slick rocks.

That means felt soles or wading studs.

Experienced anglers here wade only on gravel. Some like to use float tubes in this area. A tube can help you get around in tricky areas if you know how

to use it safely. Others use a wading staff. Some use both. All take their time, always with an eye on the water and with the release schedule in mind.

Of course everyone in the water wears the legally mandated PFD. It’s required by law, and it’s good sense too.

But do you have to get in the water to fish for trout here? Not at all. You’ll find plenty of spots where bank fishing is definitely do-able. In fact, depending on the crowd, you may be able to catch trout right off the boat ramp.

What might you catch near the dam?

Your chances of tangling with a stocked rainbow can be pretty good. You’ll also have a shot at wild, streamborn brown trout.

What about gear? This is a great area for fly fishing as well as for spin fishing.

Flyfishers will be right at home with a 9-foot 5- or 6-weight rod equipped with a floating line. As for flies, you can do well year-round with small dry flies such as the Blue Winged Olive or Griffith’s Gnat in sizes 16, 18 or smaller. An Elk Hair Caddis or Adams can work, too, but keep it small. Alternately, especially during summer, try a big dry like a Chernobyl Ant or even a Foam Spider.

At the dam, that dry fly is often paired with equally small (or smaller) emergers fished as subsurface “droppers.” Good

emerger patterns include the Blue Assassin, the Rainbow Warrior, and black or red Zebra Midges in size 18 or smaller.

Many fly fishers also enjoy fishing this area with minnow-like streamers.

Good patterns are the Rolex, the Hudson Streamer, the Red-Nosed Yeti, and the Brown or Olive Leech. There will be days when what works best is something totally off-the-wall. I’ve actually had success catching trout at the dam with a small popping bug of the type designed for bream!

If you’re spin fishing, a light to medium-light rod with 4-lb line is popular.

Lures of choice include Roostertails and Mepps spinners. Color schemes which are bright and flashy (silver, white) or which imitate baby brown trout (orange and brown) are particularly effective.

Whether flyfishing or spin fishing, be aware that the water near the dam is exceptionally clear most of the year. That calls for fine-diameter, low-visibility line.

So when the heat becomes overwhelming, break out the fishing gear and head for the dam. It’s a cool and refreshing way to beat summer heat – and maybe to tangle with a few trout along the way. Just don’t forget to wear that PFD!

Reimagine what’s next.

Holbrook to invest $1 billion to expand Southeast footprint

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Holbrook CEO Al Holbrook has announced a $1 billion plan to expand the Alpharetta-based firm’s presence in the Southeast.

Holbrook develops, owns and manages distinctive active adult and assisted living communities including Holbrook Communities and Dogwood Forest.

The firm has two communities opening this year.

Holbrook Decatur, a 200-unit community, is set to open this month on Clairmont Drive near Emory, and Holbrook Acworth, which includes 207 residences and 10 cottages, is scheduled to open in October.

Plans are underway to open Holbrook Woodstock in the summer of 2020 with more than 300 homes and cottages.

The company is also searching for a site to open an upscale residential community in Nashville. Plans are already in the works for developments in Greenville and Charleston, South Carolina.

The market for senior living housing is trending upward as baby boomers downsize.

The U.S. retirement communities industry will realize $72 billion in revenue this year, according to market research firm IBIS World. The industry employs some 1 million workers in close to 50,000 businesses.

Signs of the uptick are already evident locally.

Earlier this year, the City of Al-

Holbrook develops, owns and manages distinctive active adult and assisted living communities including Holbrook Communities and Dogwood Forest. pharetta approved Village Park at Wills Road assisted living facility that will occupy a parcel at 1650 S. Main.

Plans call for 130 residences on 7 acres, with building heights not to exceed 45 feet. It will include outdoor amenities and landscaping. Residential units, consisting of independent living units, assisted care units and memory care units in both detached and attached buildings.

Alpharetta has recently seen an increase in interest for assisted living.

The city currently has 10 assisted living facilities in operation, and another 425 assisted living rooms are under construction.

And there is room for more.

There are 21 parcels of land in the city where assisted living is permitted by right. These parcels are not exclusive to assisted living, however, and could compete with interests providing offices and many other low-impact commercial and retail uses.

Data showing strong economy outpacing workforce As many of you know, I’m a news junkie when it comes to things that are happening here in Georgia. After reading articles in several papers this week, I’m going to ask a question I know most of Geoff smith you have a very pasAssurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com sionate answer for: Is it possible that we need MORE people to move to Atlanta?

I’m pretty sure I know the kneejerk reaction answer that most of you just blurted out, making those around you look at you with concern for your well-being. It’s no secret that the biggest complaint residents in Atlanta have is our traffic. I know most of you scoff at the idea that we need more people moving to Atlanta. So I’m making this paragraph long so as to get distance from my question and the rest of this article so you can calm down and look at it soberly.

Ready?

OK. From articles I’ve been reading, our job market is growing faster than our growth in new residents. And our unemployment rate is basically at what most experts consider “full pool.” Meaning everyone who wants a job, has a job.

The Georgia Labor Department reported that 9,600 new jobs were created in the Metro Atlanta area just last May. It’s actually a good bit down from the 15,900 that were created in the same month a year earlier. But in the last 12 months, 52,400 new jobs have been created.

The next article I read was in the Atlanta Business Chronicle that talked about workforce shortage and what specifically North Fulton officials are trying to do about it. This wasn’t really news to me. I sat for several years on the Steering Committee for the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce’s

Workforce Development Committee called The Talent Coalition. It was spearheaded by Gary Campbell, director of community affairs for the staffing agency Hire Dynamics, and Bethany Usry, who served the chamber as vice president of Talent and Economic Development. We took aim at the tech and healthcare sectors in North Fulton, trying to determine where there might be skills gaps.

In working with our area hospitals and tech companies, we amassed data and learned a great deal about their workforce needs. The committee found that both sectors were having to hire less-qualified professionals, then spend a good deal of money and resources to train them on the job. The result was a collaboration with Fulton County Schools, Gwinnett Tech and other local entities to start up new certification classes at Gwinnett Tech, an information campaign to let people know that these jobs were out there, and a closer collaboration with Fulton County Schools. School professionals and elected board members like Katie Reeves were highly involved and the committee was highly influential in the creation of and development of the new STEMfocused high school under construction in downtown Alpharetta. The school, in addition to the help from Gwinnett Tech, should provide the opportunity for more people to ease into quality tech and healthcare jobs. But if we are at full-pool employment, to fill all of the jobs, we may also need more people.

Julie Haley, CEO and co-founder of Edge Solutions, a tech-company in Alpharetta, was also plugged into the Chamber’s Talent Coalition and said that there are more than 20,000 tech jobs going unfulfilled right now just in Alpharetta. In the same Atlanta Business Chronicle article, Wellstar North Fulton President John-Paul Croom echoed the sentiment for his industry: “It’s a constant struggle to find critical care nurses, operating room nurses, lab technicians, radiology technicians,

central sterile, respiratory therapists,” he said.

Certainly our workforce is growing every year with the graduation of new workers out of high school and college, but it seems it is not keeping up. And with employment at full-pool, companies in those industries are either going to have to pull employees from other companies within their own industries, or pull employees from companies in other industries.

The upside to this is a competition for workers, which should drive up wages, something that is needed in the metro area. My next article will touch on that, as I had the pleasure of talking with Kerry Armstrong, who currently serves as the chairman of the Atlanta Regional Commission. While many have been complaining of an affordable housing shortage, he suggested that it’s also a wage shortage. Meaning the rise in home values has outpaced the rise in workers’ wages.

So while many of you would love to put up a wall around Atlanta until our transit systems catch up, the risk is giving new businesses reasons not to move here, and existing businesses reasons to look elsewhere. There is a fine and steep line between growing and the other thing.

Don’t allow fear to stand in the way of making decisions Small business owners have to make decisions each and every day. Some decisions are for simple things, like approving a payment to a supplier, while dick jones other decisions Founder & President are more complex Jones Simply Sales and can impact a small business in a profound way. Many small business owners have learned the consequences of bad decisions and are afraid of making decisions. How about you?

Operating and growing a small business requires that decisions are made quickly and decisively, but oftentimes they are made without weighing the pros and cons. Making informed decisions that you can rely on requires that you gather information that will allow you to weigh the benefits and consequences of your decision.

Let’s face it: not all decisions are perfect. You’re going to make some bad decisions once in a while. The key to small business success is to ensure that you take into account, on some level, the impact your decision will have to your business. Tallying up the pros and cons of each decision you make will allow you to do this.

If the benefits outweigh the consequences, then it’s probably a good decision to make.

The worst possible scenario of being afraid of making decisions is not making them at all. Many small business owners ponder a decision for so long that nothing ever gets done.

Doing nothing is the worst solution.

As a small business owner, making timely decisions is a critical success factor, so don’t be afraid of making decisions!

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 momentary

muscular failure involved.

Unless activity is demanding, it is practically worthless from an exercise perspective. However, if an activity is sufficiently demanding to take the targeted muscles to momentary failure, then it qualifies as meaningful exercise.

Benefits of the well woman exam By: Dr. Christy Kenkel Modern OBGYN It’s that time again, time for the well woman exam. The anticipation of this event may not always make our hearts flutter with glee, but this doctor’s visit can be one of the most important days of the year. In truth, well woman exams Dr. kenkel are vital to our health because they help detect problems that can become larger, perhaps dangerous burdens if they go unchecked. A well woman exam, at its least, helps us maintain healthy, vibrant lives, and at its most, can be life-saving.

A well woman exam generally consists of pelvic and clinical breast exams in addition to discussing lifestyle habits, safe sexual practices, contraception options, and recommended screening exams and vaccinations that vary based on age, lifestyle habits, and genetic risk factors. Here, I’ll touch on the recommended screening exams you may encounter at your well woman exam.

For sexually active women under the age of 25, yearly STI testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis is recommended. This protects future fertility, protects against ectopic pregnancy, and prevents the spread of dangerous diseases. Testing in ages over 25 is certainly recommended if there are symptoms of infection or high-risk sexual practices.

Between the ages of 21-65 (with some exceptions after 65), regular pap smears are recommended. Roughly 80% of women have been exposed to high risk HPV by the age

Importantly, virtually all cases of cervical cancer are caused by the high risk HPV. Pap smears check for the presence of high risk HPV, and to see if cervical cells exhibit abnormalities caused by this virus. If there are advanced cervical cell abnormalities, outpatient procedures can be performed to remove the portion of affected tissue at risk for morphing into cancer. Without first having a pap smear, these cell changes would be missed, and a patient could be at risk for cervical cancer, a deadly disease. The HPV vaccines are strongly recom-

mended in hopes of alleviating the burden this virus creates.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and is either the most common or second most common cause of death from cancer among women of most races. Screening recommendations vary based on which guidelines are followed. The American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology recommends yearly clinical breast exams and mammograms between the ages of 40-74. The frequency of screening tests can be increased depending on a patient’s risk factors. Referrals for mammograms and breast imaging can be made at the annual well woman exam.

Even if we as patients feel anxious or burdened by the idea of visiting the gynecologist for our well woman exam, let us remember that ultimately it enables us to enjoy vibrant lives by keeping our bodies safe. As gynecologists, it is our commitment to help you achieve that.

Has Your Oncologist Talked to You About Nutrition?

Jonathan D. Stegall, MD If you have cancer, you’ve probably discussed various treatment options with your oncologist such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Sadly, many of my oncology peers are telling patients that nutrition doesn’t matter – even though we know from multiple studies that nutrition makes a significant difference. Any physician who claims to practice evidencebased medicine should be discussing nutritional guidelines with his or her patients.

So what should cancer patients be eating? A largely plantbased diet is essential, coming from organic sources if possible. The phytonutrients and antioxidants found in these foods provide strong support for the body, helping fight cancer while also nourishing the body’s healthy cells. A mix of raw and cooked produce seems to produce the best results, rather than exclusively one or the other. Don’t forget about legumes, lentils, and whole grains either.

You don’t need animal protein, and I recommend avoiding it. However, if you splurge on occasion, focus on minimally processed versions such as organic grass-fed beef, organic free range chicken, and wild caught fish.

Although these recommendations provide a wonderful foundation, there is a lot more to know about proper cancer nutrition! For more information, please check out my bestselling book, Cancer Secrets.

Your guide to understanding breast density Q&A with Dr. Lynn Baxter, Director of Breast Imaging at Northside Hospital On July 1, 2019, a new law took effect in Georgia that mandates that patients with dense breast tissue identified on their mammograms be notified of this finding in the letter they receive explaining their mammogram results.

Q: What is breast density?

A: Breast density is a measure of how much fibroglandular (dense) tissue is present in a woman’s breast compared to how much fatty tissue is present.

Breast density can vary with factors such as age, changes in weight, and hormone usage, but for many women it does not change throughout adulthood.

Q: How do I know how dense my breasts are?

A: The doctor who reads your mammogram will indicate in their report which of the 4 categories best matches the appearance of your breasts. This information will be sent to your doctor and you will also be notified in your results letter.

Q: Can I tell how dense my breasts are based on how they feel?

A: Breast density does not relate to how breasts look or how firm they feel.

The only way to determine how much dense tissue is present is with an imaging test like a mammogram.

Q: Why is breast density important?

A: Breast density is important for two reasons. First, dense breast tissue can hide a cancer on mammography.

Dense tissue looks white on a mammogram. Cancers also look white on a mammogram, so they may not stand out against the background of dense tissue.

Fatty tissue looks dark gray on a mammogram, making cancers much easier to spot. Second, recent research has shown that having dense breasts may also be a risk for getting breast cancer, independent of family history or other risk factors. Though this risk is small, it is significant. For women with heterogeneously dense tissue, the risk is about 1.2 times that of the average woman. For women with extremely dense tissue, the risk is about 2 times that of the average woman. For comparison, the risk for a woman who had no children before age 30 is 1.9 times that of a woman who had children earlier.

Q: If I have dense tissue, do I still need a mammogram?

A: Yes. Mammography is the only test of any kind proven to save lives from breast cancer. Some of the earliest breast cancers are only visible on mammography, even in patients with dense breasts. Yearly mammography is recommended for all women over the age of 40.

Any other tests should be performed in

addition to mammography, not instead of mammography.

Q: Should I have a 3D mammogram?

A: Breast Tomosynthesis (also known as 3D mammography) has been shown to find additional cancers in women with all types of breast density and has also been shown to reduce the number of women recalled for additional imaging. All women should consider tomosynthesis to maximize the benefits of mammography.

Q: If I have dense tissue, do I need other tests in addition to mammography?

A: Regardless of your breast density, it can be helpful to speak with your healthcare provider about your individual risk for breast cancer. MRI has been recommended for many years as a supplement to mammography for all women with a 20% or greater lifetime risk of breast cancer. This includes women with genetic mutations such as BRCA and their close relatives, women with a history of radiation therapy to the chest between the ages of 10 and 30 (such as those who had Hodgkin’s Disease), and other high risk patients. The American College of Radiology recently updated its guidelines to also recommend yearly MRI for women with a personal history of breast cancer plus dense breasts and women with any breast density who had breast cancer before age 50. MRI is often covered by insurance for women with these types of risk factors.

If your breasts are dense, but you do not have other risk factors, you and your provider should discuss additional screening options, which can find some additional cancers, but can also lead to further testing and biopsies for findings that are not cancerous.

If you choose to have additional screening, MRI is the test that has been shown to find the most additional cancers while minimizing the number of additional tests needed for findings that are not cancer. The most important large national study that compared mammography, MRI, and ultrasound showed that the most cancers were found with the combination of mammography and MRI. Adding ultrasound to this combination did not find any additional cancers and resulted in recommendations for many more biopsies – more than 92% of which did not show cancer. For these reasons screening breast ultrasound should only be considered for patients who medically cannot have MRI. Recently, a new type of MRI called “Fast MRI” has been developed to provide a quicker, less-costly alternative for women with dense breasts who do not have additional risk factors.

When is a rash not a rash?

By Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta During my dermatology residency, our professors loved to talk about “imitators” – the diseases that mimic other diseases and can Dr. Taylor fool the unsuspecting student. Historically, the “Great Imitator” was syphilis because it could affect so many organ systems and manifest on the skin in numerous ways. Syphilis can show up as a sore on the skin, sores in the mouth, a rash, nodules, a collapsed nasal bridge, dementia, deafness and can occur in many other forms. Sir William Osler, one of the four founding physicians of Johns Hopkins Hospital, once said “the physician who knows syphilis knows medicine.”

Nowadays, penicillin has suppressed syphilis to a great degree, and family doctors are so expert at diagnosing syphilis that it rarely makes its way to the dermatologist before being caught by someone else. Still, one of the joys of practicing medicine is making a diagnosis that is either challenging or obscure, and dermatologists across the country are ever vigilant for imitators.

There are other diseases that qualify as imitators, and for this week’s article, I thought it worth mentioning a few of the common imitators that I see in clinic.

For the following diseases, patients often present complaining of a “skin rash,” but what they have turns out to not be rash at all or to not be skin-based.

1. Actinic pupura – This term means sun-induced bruise. Many mature patients have bruises on the backs of their hands and their forearms, and they sometimes present to clinic asking about a rash in these locations. These are actually bruises, and they occur because years of sun-damage causes skin to bruise easily. Actinic purpura is the diagnosis when bruises are occurring only on the sun-damaged dorsal hands and forearms. Actinic purpura is, in general, not a worry. If bruises occur in areas that haven’t seen the sun, then we have to worry about a different diagnosis such as low platelets, leukemias or other blood disorders.

2. Notalgia paraesthetica – Say that word ten times fast (or even just once?!).

Patients present to my clinic asking about a rash on their upper back, but there is no rash at all. The skin is completely normal, but patients are itching and uncomfortable. Notalgia paraesthetica is itching of the back caused by varying amounts of arthritis or degenerative changes in the cervical or thoracic spine irritating the

Patients often present complaining of a “skin rash,” but what they have turns out to not be rash at all or to not be skin-based. spinal nerves. These nerves go to the skin on the neck and back, so this neurologic problem is perceived as a skin problem.

For really severe cases, nerve dulling medicines are sometimes helpful.

3. Diffuse actinic keratoses – Actinic keratoses or “AK’s” are pre-cancers.

Because patients’ sun damage is often over an entire area such as the entire cheek or scalp, patients sometimes present to clinic worried about a rash that turns out to be a field of pre-cancers.

Creams and light therapies (PDT) can help eliminate these growths before they turn into skin cancer.

4. Poikiloderma of Civatte – This is another false rash that comes from sun-damage. It occurs as a red-brown mottling of the skin usually on the neck that patients dislike either because of its cosmetic appearance or because it can sometimes be mildly irritated and symptomatic. Laser treatments in combination with sun protection can improve this condition.

5. Stasis dermatitis – In this case, the problem is actually a rash, but I include it on this list because it’s so often misdiagnosed. Patients come to clinic because they keep having “cellulitis” (skin infection) over and over, but they do not have a skin infection. Rather, their veins are not working, and venous reflux leads to inflammation in the skin that mimics a skin infection. True leg skin infections are usually in only one leg and stasis dermatitis often affects both legs repetitively. Very effective modern vein treatments (such as EVLA & ECA) are available to fix the venous system and help with leg pain, swelling or stasis dermatitis.

We hope you enjoyed learning about the Great Imitator and a few Lessor Imitators. And if you or a loved one has a spot concerning for skin cancer, vein problems or other skin issues, please consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Dr. Brent Taylor is a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon, boardcertified dermatologist and vein specialist with his practice located at the corner of North Point Parkway and Webb Bridge Rd., Alpharetta.

Roswell High freshman competes in soap box world championship ROSWELL, Ga. — Tessa Martin, a rising Roswell High School freshman will compete in the 82nd All-American Soap Box Derby World Championship July 20 in Akron, Ohio.

She will join more than 400 gravitypowered racers from throughout the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Japan between the ages of 7 and 20 and will represent North Georgia in the Super Stock division of the championships. Martin follows her older brother and sister, Anthony and Elise Martin, who began racing in 2008 while living in Louisville, Kentucky.

She enjoys racing because it is a STEM type competition that relies on an understanding of physics and how gravity, weight placement, friction, wind resistance and driving techniques affect the racer’s speed.

The Super Stock race car is a tribute to Chuck Yeager’s experimental aircraft, the Bell X-1 named Glamorous Glennis, the first plane to break the sound barrier.

Racers earn the right to compete in the world championship by winning regional and local Soap Box Derby qualifying races, or by accumulating points in a series of rally competitions held around North America each year.

Racers compete in separate divisions, based on their ages and construction skills. Boys and girls from 7 to 13 compete in the Stock Car division, which features the simplest ready-to-assemble kits purchased from All-American Derby headquarters.

Kids age 9-18 are in the Super Stock division. Their cars are similar but larger to accommodate larger racers. The Masters division features the traditional, more sophisticated cars for boys and girls age 10-20.

Division champions will compete in the week-long even in Akron for $36,000 in college scholarships.

Roswell High School freshman Tessa Martin will compete at the Soap Box Derby World Championship on July 20 against more than 400 other racers

Umpiring program goes beyond balls and strikes for 25 years

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — Attend a youth baseball or softball game at Bell Memorial Park or North Park and there is a good chance the umpire calling the game will have gone through the Hopewell Youth Umpire Program. The program began quickly and out of necessity, but over the past 25 years it has had an immeasurable impact on local teens who learn far more than making calls on the field.

An oversight by the Hopewell Youth Association in 1996 led Jim Cregge to create the program. Cregge said the association had a record number of registrations that year, and the registration fees did not cover umpire costs for the entire season. Cregge was tasked with finding a solution, and he hired three teens he paid out of pocket that season to serve as umpires.

Since its humble beginnings, the program has evolved beyond umpiring into a mentorship and life-skills program that teaches interviewing, decision-making, co-worker support, how to handle confrontation and how to properly communicate as an adult.

Maliha Hasan has spent four seasons in the program and said it has given her invaluable experiences.

“It has provided me with an extremely well-paying job with immense flexibility, but it has also pushed me into an open, comforting job environment in which I learn a lot in,” Hasan said. “One of the most important aspects of this job is being able to deal with coaches and parents, even when they are angry. I have learned how to always respond in a professional manner no matter how emotional I get.”

Brent Reeves said the program gave his son vital life skills, including how to prepare for a job interview and accountability where, “well, he’s just a teenager,” is no excuse.

“Jim treats these kids like they are coming out of college looking for their

first job,” Reeves said. “The interview process is intense, but it makes it even more special when you get the job. Jim will copy parents on important messages, but he expects the kids to keep their own schedule, communicate directly and on time, and he doesn’t tolerate late or absent. If a kid has a conflict, he leaves it to them to find a replacement and work it out, but the job has to be done.”

Brandon Lee, a recent Cambridge graduate, said four years in the umpiring program provided him valuable work experience and showed him “how the real world operates.” Lee said he was taught how to conduct himself in a business environment after he dropped a game he was scheduled to umpire as the game approached. He said Cregge “let me hear it,” and he was thankful for the experience.

Lee also credits the program for developing him into a leader. He partially

ran the program last season.

“The umpire program offered so much to me and I am incredibly grateful that I was a part of it,” Lee said. “From the relationships I made, the lessons I learned, and the experiences I had, the youth umpire program is something I will never forget.”

Though Cregge serves as the Milton Parks and Recreation Director, his umpiring program is not affiliated with the city and operates entirely outside of his job duties.

While his umpires receive pay for their work, Cregge said he is reimbursed in non-monetary ways.

“I have never made a dime doing this, but I get paid by watching young people blossom before my eyes and when umpires from the past contact me on breaks from college and as they enter adulthood to thank me,” Cregge said.

“This has truly been a blessing in my life.”

Jim Cregge instructs Cambri Driskell, Sean Michael Sargent and Jack Oblen in the Hopewell Youth Umpiring Program.

The program has trained teen umpires for youth baseball and softball for 25 years.

Applications for the 25th year of the program are being taken until July 14.

Those interested can contact Cregge at creggej@bellsouth.net.

Geoffrey Lew Rausch

Geoffrey Lew Rausch, age 79, of Alpharetta, Georgia, passed away on July 1, 2019, surrounded by his family. Geoff was born on March 9, 1940 to Lew and Alice Rausch in Columbus, Ohio. He graduated from West High School in 1957 and then attended Ohio State University, graduating with a bachelor of science in Landscape Architecture in 1962. During his time at OSU, he began his service in the Army, and remained in the Reserves until 1967.

Geoff married Nancy Olson in 1962, who was a supportive force behind his professional successes. He began his career in landscape architecture in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with Simonds and Simonds (later to become Environmental Planning and Design,) where he became a Principal in 1976. In 1999, he formed a new firm, Marshall, Tyler, Rausch, LLC. Throughout his fortyfive year career, Geoff ’s special area of expertise was the design and master planning of arboreta and botanical gardens. He was responsible for the planning and design of more than sixty botanical gardens and arboreta throughout the continental United States, Hawaii, Costa Rica, and Canada.

Some of his major gardens include Atlanta Botanical Garden, Chicago Botanic Garden, Missouri Botanical Garden, Bloedel Reserve, Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, U.S. National Arboretum, National Tropical Botanical Garden, and Tower Hill. In 2003, Geoff was made a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects in

honor of his body of work. During their forty years in Pittsburgh, Geoff and Nancy raised their two children, Beth and Matthew. They spent many family weekends at Seneca Lake, Ohio, where Geoff enjoyed his boats. In 2004, he and Nancy moved to Alpharetta, Georgia, to be near their children and grandchildren.

Soon after, Geoff and Nancy joined Johns Creek Presbyterian Church, which led him to serve at Hands of Christ in Duluth, Georgia.

Later he became active in WARM, a retired men’s group in his Windward neighborhood. Through WARM, he volunteered with North Fulton Community Charities.

Geoff was a devoted husband, father and PopPop. His survivors include his wife, Nancy; his daughter, Beth and her children – Kelsey, Alison, and Bennett Roth; his son, Matthew and his family – Stacey and Joshua York; his sister, Judy Warner, and her husband Howard; his sisters-in-law, Margo and Kathy Olson; his brother-in-law, Don Olson – and wife Celia; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, friends and neighbors. A memorial service will be held on August 3, 2019 at 2:00 pm at Johns Creek Presbyterian Church, 10950 Bell Road, Johns Creek, Georgia, 30097.

I would challenge Mayor Henry to sort out their disagreement with Appen Media. Nobody wins in a lawsuit except the firm collecting legal fees.

I’d ask Appen Media to do the same thing. We all live in one community. We are all right at some point; and we have all been wrong. We have also all been absolutely sure that we’re in the right, and still been wrong. The Washington Post’s headline says Democracy Dies in Darkness. It’s the truth. As an American, Main Street should be the last place that we let this happen. How I vote or anybody else votes on an issue should never be mutually exclusive with who we are to each other as neighbors. A resident should always seek transparency in government; but especially local government.

My city council stipend every month after taxes is right around $950. I called the Appens and asked if they’d reach out to Roswell directly to sort this out in exchange for donating it to cover a portion of their legal fees. They agreed. So the ball can sit in another court.We should expect better.

We the people have enough dissention among the media. We the people have enough partisan politics. We the people have enough distrust that can and should be focused at the county, state house, or federal government.

We the people should all do a little bit better. Main Street still holds people accountable. Your city government is a part of that solution and so is your local paper. Statesmanship and journalism with integrity are things that Main Street still desires.

We should all strive to get around the table more often and sort out disagreements. Nobody wins in a legal fight.

Especially residents.

Cambridge’s Hudson captures gold at Junior Olympics

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MADISON, Wisc. — Cambridge High School rising senior Mike Hudson captured his sixth national championship June 29 by winning gold at the USA Boxing National Junior Olympics. Hudson retained his No. 1 national ranking

by USA Boxing in the 17-18-year old heavyweight division by winning all five of his bouts in Madison, Wisc.

“There was a lot of pressure to defend the title, but I went to execute and do what I thought I could do best to win,” Hudson said.

After breezing through his first four bouts, Hudson matched up with Michigan’s Albert Ballard, the No. 2 ranked heavyweight by USA Boxing, in the finals.

Ballard was a formidable challenge and had the advantage in reach and height, but Hudson said he performed well during the fight.

“I had gotten hold of some film, so we studied him and came up with a fight plan,” he said. “We knew we had to take the fight to him. We wanted to use an inside fighting style and take him to the ropes. He has really good footwork, but footwork doesn’t work if you’re on the ropes.”

The title bout featuring the top two nationally ranked heavyweights went its full three rounds, and it was ultimately Hudson’s arm that was raised by the referee with the Cambridge student taking the gold through a split decision.

With a half-dozen national titles under his belt, Hudson now has his eyes set on the world stage.

He will soon travel to the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Col., to train with older, “Elite” fighters training for the upcoming Pan American Games.

“That will be a lot of fun and good training, it’s hard to get sparring partners here in Georgia,” he said.

After working closely with USA Boxing’s Elite fighters, Hudson will attempt to qualify for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. The 18-year old said competing at the Olympics is his ultimate goal, and he aims to have his name among the eight boxers to qualify.

“Six guys have already qualified for the Olympics, and I would really like to be that number seven,” Hudson said. “I think I have a good shot, and I think I could possibly make it.”

Mike Hudson prepares to enter the ring at the Junior Olympics in Madison, Wisc., on June 29. Hudson prevailed in a battle of the top two nationally ranked 17-18-year old heavyweights to win the title.
