Democrats push legislative effort for gun reform By REBECCA GRAPEVINE Capitol Beat

Forsyth County commissioners discuss amending county rules prohibiting commissioners from holding office elsewhere during a regular meeting June 2.

Officials may expand reach

Commissioners view eligibility for other posts By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners is looking to change county rules that prohibit board members from holding office elsewhere. At its June 2 business meeting, the board unanimously approved the first reading of an amendment to county legislation that would enable commissioners to hold office in municipalities that are neither within nor bordering Forsyth County. The amendment requires a second reading and approval

before it goes into effect. Current county legislation prohibits commissioners from holding any other office within Forsyth County, another county, any municipality or the state. Commissioner Todd Levent, a former law enforcement officer who is still certified, said that a commissioner could not even serve as a volunteer police officer for a city under current rules. The amendment would eliminate that rule, though Levent said he’s unlikely to ever make use of the amended language himself. Commissioners would still be unable to hold state offices or offices in another county. Cities such as Alpharetta, Johns Creek and Milton would also still be off-limits for commissioners, because they share a border with Forsyth County. If the amendment goes into effect, a commissioner would be able to hold office in a city

such as Dawsonville, because the city is fully within the borders of Dawson County. In other business at the Thursday meeting, the commission voted to amend the county’s Unified Development Code to allow gravel parking lots in special event venues and properties used for agritourism. The code previously required concrete or asphalt parking lots for these uses, along with most other properties in the county. Ethan Underwood, an attorney with Cumming law firm Miles Hansford & Tallant, encouraged the amendment and asked the commission to consider broadening the change. He said gravel parking lots may serve other commercial uses better than paved lots. Commissioner Laura Semanson said the county may consider more gravel

ATLANTA — America is facing an “epidemic of gun violence,” State Sen. Michelle Au, D-Johns Creek, said at a press conference May 27 called by the Democratic Party of Georgia in response to the recent mass shootings. “It keeps happening, and sometimes it feels like it never stops,” Au said. In March of last year, eight people, including six Asian-American women, were killed in an attack on spas in metro Atlanta. Au said the attack “rocked the nation’s Asian-American community to its core.” Michael Webb’s former wife, Xiaojie Tan, was one of the women killed. Webb, who said he is a gun owner and not a liberal or even a Democrat, called for “common-sense gun control and gun safety” measures like waiting periods to take possession of a firearm after purchase. “I feel reasonably confident – knowing the evidence – that the mother of my daughter would be alive

Cumming man arrested for aggravated stalking FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County deputies arrested a Cumming man May 30 after he allegedly attempted to break into his ex-girlfriend’s home on Chamblee Gap Road around 4 a.m. Deputies were dispatched to a report of a burglary in progress. The suspect had left the scene before deputies arrived. They saw footprints on the woman’s door and damage to the doorframe. The woman told deputies she recognized her ex-boyfriend’s voice as he attempted to kick in the door. The woman reported that she had an active temporary protective order against the man. She said he had attempted to contact her through phone calls and social media. Deputies went to the man’s home address but were unable to make contact. They saw his SUV at the residence and saw a shotgun inside the vehicle in plain view. Deputies received warrants for the man for aggravated stalking, first-degree burglary, criminal trespass damage and violation of a temporary protective order. Jonathan Griggs, 38, of Cumming, was arrested around 6:30 a.m. after another person down the street called in about a suspicious person.

Caller extorts $23,000 from Cumming man FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A 52-year-old Cumming man lost nearly $23,000 May 25 after a caller claiming to be Cumming Police Chief David Marsh told him there was an open investigation against him involving money laundering. The caller said the man could clear the investigation by sending them bitcoin. The man deposited $22,830 into an

PUBLIC SAFETY account the caller provided to him. The man said he realized it was a scam after the phone number continued to text him after he deposited the cryptocurrency.

Texas man charged with ATM break-in FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A Texas man was arrested May 28 in connection with a break-in at an ATM in February. Forsyth County deputies responded to an ATM alarm at First IC Bank on Peachtree Parkway Feb. 11 around 5 a.m. Deputies arrived about 15 minutes after the alarm initially sounded. Deputies arrived to find the ATM had been pried open with a crowbar the suspect had left on the ground. A nearby resident told deputies he had seen a suspicious pickup truck drive though his subdivision around the time of

the incident. The man reported the truck had its door open and a chain attached to the back. Deputies were unable to locate the suspect at the time of the incident. The investigation led to the May 28 arrest of Damien Ross, 30, of Houston, Texas, in connection with the incident.

Stone Mountain man drowns at Lake Lanier FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A Stone Mountain man drowned in a swimming area at Margaritaville on Lake Lanier May 29. Department of Natural Resources wardens responded to the drowning and used sonar to locate the man, Jose Camarillo, 20. Camarillo’s body was recovered by members of the Hall County Fire Department.

A security guard working at the Crabapple Market in Milton drew his gun during a confrontation at Peace Love and Pizza May 30, according to a police report.

Security guard pulls gun after row with couple By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — A 22-year-old private security guard working at the Crabapple Market drew his gun during a confrontation with a man and woman at Peace Love and Pizza May 30, according to a police report. The security guard, an Atlanta resident, called Milton police around 9:45 p.m. to report unwanted persons in the shopping center. He said he saw a vehicle park in the center and that he pulled toward the vehicle and informed the driver that the businesses in the center were closed. Peace Love and Pizza is open until 10 p.m. on weekdays, according to the business’ website. May 30 was Memorial Day, but a

manager at Peace Love and Pizza said the business operated its regular hours that day. The guard told police the 21-yearold driver, a Sandy Springs resident, informed him he was there to pick up a pizza and began using “foul language” toward him. He said the suspect then drove away and parked at Olde Blind Dog Irish Pub in the adjacent building. The guard said he pulled toward the vehicle again and attempted to take a picture of the vehicle’s tag. He said that as he tried to take the picture, the driver’s girlfriend stepped out of the vehicle and approached the guard’s vehicle. The guard said he tried to back away but could not because other people had gathered behind the vehicle.

See GUARD, Page 3


Commission: Continued from Page 1 lot allowances in the future, but that broadening the amendment during the meeting wasn’t an option. The board also voted to allow Dogtopia, a dog daycare and spa located in the Halcyon shopping center, to begin boarding dogs overnight. Conditions previously imposed on the shopping center prohibited kennels in the center, with the exception of pet day care services. The commission voted unanimously to remove the condition. A Dogtopia representative said the company held a meeting with nearby residents in May to gather feedback on the idea of allowing overnight boarding, and that all attending residents were in support.

Guard: Continued from Page 2 The guard said he believed the people behind his vehicle were friends of the driver. He stated he gave verbal commands for the people to back away from his vehicle, but they did not. He admitted to pulling his gun out of its holster but said he “was holding it close to his chest not pointing it at anyone.” Police then spoke with the driver’s girlfriend, also from Sandy Springs, who said the guard never identified himself as security. She said the guard used foul language and told the two to leave and “not loiter around the property.” She said he told them to leave even after they informed him they were there to pick up a pizza. After the driver moved to the pub and the guard followed, the girlfriend said she got out of the car to take a picture of the security guard’s vehicle tag. She said the guard had blocked their car with his own so the two could not leave. She said the guard “aggressively pulled forward like he was trying to run her over” and then backed up. The woman said she then saw the guard pointing his gun at her. She also said she did not know other people began blocking the guard’s car. When asked if anyone else had seen the guard point his gun at her, she stated they did not. The driver recorded a video of the incident, which he showed police. The footage shows the guard’s vehicle parked “at a distance” and that the driver was cursing at the guard, according to the report. The driver and his girlfriend declined to press charges but wanted the incident recorded.

With your leadership and guidance, we will make so many things that have been a dream a reality here in Roswell. LEE HILLS, Roswell Councilwoman 6 | Forsyth Herald | June 9, 2022

Officials energized with new Roswell Development Authority By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Councilman Peter Vanstrom welcomed the “fantastic seven” to the Roswell Development Authority at a special called meeting on May 31. The new agency will work in conjunction with the Downtown Development Authority, which oversees the Central Business District, to facilitate trade, commerce, industry and employment opportunities in the city. The City Council approved a resolution to activate the Roswell Development Authority at a May 23 meeting. The resolution states the members on previous development authorities had not taken any action in several years and that their terms had since expired. The Downtown Development Authority was not affected by the resolution and remains solvent. Vanstrom moved to approve the appointment to the new Roswell Development Authority on May 31, which received a second from Councilwoman Lee Hills. The measure passed 4-0, with Councilman Marcelo Zapata on a medical leave of absence and Mayor Pro Tem Mike Palermo filling in for Mayor Kurt Wilson who was also absent. The Roswell Development Authority will now begin working on bringing new development opportunities to the rest of the city, with a special focus on East Roswell and the Ga. 9 corridor. The city also recently announced it had hired Darryl Connelly to serve as the new full-time economic development director. He is set to start June 6. Palermo said the appointment and

Can a skin biopsy diagnose neurologic disease? Brought to you by - Brent Taylor, MD Don’t worry. This is not an invitation to invest in Theranos 2.0, and Elizabeth Holmes is not the ghost writer behind this article. Testing for at least one disease by a simple relatively non-invasive method (in this case a skin biopsy) is real. CADASIL stands for “Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy.” In layman’s terms, this name means that CADASIL is a disease of the brain in which bad arteries cause strokes. Autosomal dominant means that you need a single bad copy of a gene to develop disease. CADASIL is the most common known hereditary disease responsible for strokes; and about 4 out of every 100,000 people are thought to be affected. A gene called Notch 3 is mutated in CADASIL. Notch 3 encodes a protein that builds up in smooth muscle cells in diseased individuals. Muscle cells then become enlarged. Arteries contain these muscle cells, so arterial function worsens. Blood flow to parts of the brain diminishes, and individuals suffer strokes. The tragedy of CADASIL is its young age of onset with an average age of 46 and usual range of 30 to 70. Affected individuals often first develop migraines, mood disorders or dementia before developing classic stroke-like symptoms. One feature that makes CADASIL unique is that smooth muscle cells are affected both in the skin and the brain, so a skin biopsy can be used for diagnosis. A regular skin biopsy with a traditional stain called PAS can sometimes show the build-up of a material within the muscle of blood vessels. And a skin biopsy sent for special testing by electronic microscopy will reliably exhibit a granular material that is proof of the disease. It is important to note that the work-up of neurologic and psychiatric diseases is best performed by a neurologist or a psychiatrist, and, in general, a dermatologist would not per-

PROVIDED

form a skin biopsy for CADASIL testing just because a patient with migraines, mood disorders, strokes or early dementia comes into clinic. In general, a neurologist or psychiatrist would refer a patient in whom CADASIL is suspected to a dermatologist specifically for a skin biopsy as part of the patient’s work-up. And as the cost of genetic testing decreases, direct sequencing of the patient’s Notch 3 gene may come down in cost so much that patients in the future may receive genetic testing instead of skin biopsies to diagnose this condition. After that deep dive into a very science-heavy disease, congratulations are in order! You are now one of the few people who can explain how a skin biopsy can sometimes explain why someone has had a stroke. We hope that you found this article interesting. If you or a loved one has a skin care need, please consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta.

3 Reasons Why You Have Dry Eyes Brought to you by: Johns Creek Research Clinic

The tears in our eyes are made up of three important layers: Oil, Water, and Mucus. These three components work together to protect and nourish the surface of the eye. If there is an imbalance in the quantity of the components of the natural tear film, dry eye symptoms can develop. This imbalance can lead to symptoms such as eye irritation, burning, excessive tearing, and intermittent blurred vision. Although there are many causes to dry eyes, the following are 3 of the most common reasons why you may be suffering from dry eye symptoms:

20-20 rule – take breaks every 20 minutes to look at an object that is 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

1. Digital Device Usage Both book reading and computer use result in decreased blink rates. Therefore, excessive digital device use may lead to increased tear evaporation rates, resulting in dry eye symptoms. Abide by the 20-

2. Environment Smoke, wind, and dry climate conditions can increase your risk of dry eyes. Try using a humidifier to increase humidity in air at home and work. Also, sunglasses or protective eyewear outdoors help limit exposure to these environmental elements. 3. Diet and Lifestyle Alcoholic beverages, tobacco smoking, a high sodium

diet, and low daily water consumption can all lead to dry eye symptoms. Depending on your daily activity, aim to drink half your body weight in fluid ounces of water. Also, adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet, commonly found in fatty fish and flax seeds, have proven to decrease dry eye symptoms. There are many different treatments for dry eyes. Consult your eye doctor to determine the most appropriate treatment based on the cause and severity of your symptoms.

Comprehensive care of patients with head and neck cancer Brought to you by - Dr. Fiyin Sokoya, double board-certified head and neck surgeon and facial plastic surgeon at Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center Head and neck cancer accounts for an estimated 4% of all cancers in the United States. It is formed by malignant cells that begin at or spread to areas of your head or neck. At Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center, we treat a variety of head and neck disorders, including cancers of the skin, thyroid, mouth, throat and voice box. The risk for these types of cancers increases if you use alcohol or tobacco, have a family history of cancer, have been exposed to radiation, or experienced viral infections like human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein Barr virus. Tanning beds and ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can also increase the risk for skin malignancies in your head and neck area. Successful treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. After complete workup and staging of the disease, surgical intervention is sometimes necessary to treat different types of head and neck cancer. These surgeries require extensive knowledge of the intricate anatomy of the head and neck, as well as experience with the pathophysiology of the disease. During the treatment of head and neck cancer, complete removal of the cancer is prioritized, as well as returning the patient to normal form and function. The regaining of speech, breathing, speaking and swallowing are very important to maintaining a good quality of life. Reconstruction sometimes requires

microvascular tissue transfer, which involves harvesting skin, muscle and bone from other areas of the body to repair and reconstruct the treated area. Wellstar takes a multidisciplinary approach to care and coordinates with highly skilled medical and radiation oncologists to provide the most cuttingedge care for head and neck cancer. This is done in a multidisciplinary STAT clinic, which allows patients to see multiple specialists during the same visit and expedite treatment. The head and neck cancer STAT clinic is new to North Fulton, launching in July 2022 to keep expert care close to home. We also collaborate with pharmacists, physical and occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and other specialists to provide the most comprehensive care possible. Every patient will have a supportive care team on their side throughout their cancer treatment journey. To expand access to this life-saving cancer care, Wellstar will open a new Wellstar North Fulton Cancer Center in early 2023. The state-of-the-art facility will include more than 12,000 additional square feet of space to house several services, including radiation oncology, an outpatient infusion center, imaging and many physician specialties. Learn more about local cancer care at wellstar.org/ northfultoncancercare. To speak with a member of our team and learn more about cancer treatment, call 1 (877) 366-6032.

Lawmakers: Continued from Page 1 have it in other states.” Webb said he also supports universal background checks and making it more difficult to purchase assault weapons. Assault weapons are “made to kill people – they’re not made for sport,” he said. Robert Peterson, the youngest son of another woman killed in the attack, Yong Ae Yue, criticized Georgia’s new permit-less carry law, which Gov. Brian Kemp signed last month. The new law “makes us all less safe,” Peterson said. “It removes the crucial step of needing to pass a background check before being allowed to carry a concealed gun in public.” Advocates of the permit-less measure contend otherwise. “Criminals do not care about a carry permit,” state Sen. Jason Anavitarte, R-Dallas, the bill’s chief sponsor, said during a debate on the bill in the Senate during this year’s legislative session. The new permit-less carry law “makes sure that law-abiding Georgians … can protect themselves without having to ask permission from state government,” Kemp said when he signed the bill in April. Au, a doctor who also holds a master’s degree in public health, argued that gun violence should be treated as a public health issue that requires layered, multifocal solutions. “We have to come at it from a lot of different ways because there are a lot of different reasons that people are victims of gun violence, including things like mental health issues, suicide … domestic violence,” she said. “Mass shootings … tend to get the most attention.” State Rep. Sam Park, D-Lawrenceville, echoed Au’s perspective, saying, “This should not be a partisan issue. This should not be a political issue. This is a public safety issue.” The frequent mass shootings are the results of policy choices, Park said. “With good public policies … we can ensure and protect our constitutional

rights, but also protect lives,” he said. Park is running for reelection to the Georgia House this fall. Au expressed frustration at how Republican leaders in the Georgia General Assembly have prevented discussion of gun law reforms. Park and Au introduced bills this year that would have required a five-day waiting period for purchasing certain weapons. Au also introduced a bill that would have required universal background checks. “Not only have the bills not passed and been signed into law, they’ve been blocked to the point that they haven’t even been given the courtesy of being heard in committee,” Au said. “They won’t even let us discuss the bills.” Despite the challenges, Au and Park said they and others will keep advocating for reforms, with plans to introduce bills in the next session requiring universal background checks, waiting periods and safe gun storage. Au said such measures are supported by a majority of Georgians. “We are not going to give up because the environment around gun safety is changing,” she said. Au now is running for the Georgia House of Representatives. She chose to give up her State Senate seat after redistricting made it much more difficult to fend off a GOP opponent. “With each successive tragedy … people are going to demand that our leaders start to at least have this conversation in public about passing, or at least discussing, common-sense gun safety legislation,” said Au, who has emerged as a leading Democratic voice on this issue in the past few years. In response to the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas on May 24, Kemp noted that Georgia has sponsored school safety trainings and threat assessments. He also highlighted funding for school mental health programs in Georgia, including $6 million allotted for a student mental health initiative. This story is available through a news partnership with Capitol Beat News Service, a project of the Georgia Press Educational Foundation.
