CUMMING, Ga. — Forsyth County authorities have charged a Gainesville man with vehicular homicide in connection with a head-on collision along Jot Em Down Road in October that left one woman dead and one man injured.

Authorities say the driver responsible is Sean Charles Campbell, 31. He was taken into custody by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office July 26 after the grand jury made the decision to indict. “[The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office] had the charges ready…We were awaiting the indictment through the grand jury to take place,” said Cpl. Doug Rainwater. “He has

Man lying along street arrested for intoxication CUMMING, Ga. — A woman reported to authorities July 22 that she discovered a man lying down at the entrance to her street on Tulip Lane. She told deputies the man appeared to be intoxicated, and there were a stack of bottles lying around him.

When deputies arrived at the scene, they noticed a strong odor of alcohol on his breath and bloodshot eyes. A six pack of beer and a backpack were seen next to him. The man slurred his words as he tried to explain to deputies what he was doing in the area and where he was going. When asked where he lived, he pointed to the trailer park at Glenwood Place.

According to the official investigative records, on Oct. 24, 2018, Campbell’s 2001 Toyota Sequoia crossed the center line of the undiCAMPBELL vided street and struck a Honda CRV head on. The impact of the collision pushed the vehicles off the road and into a nearby yard. Barbara Fowler, age 71, of Dawsonville was found dead at the scene and her husband sustained

With the recent indictment, Campbell is now charged with homicide by vehicle, serious injury by vehicle, reckless driving, no insurance, and driving on the wrong side of the road. He is in the Forsyth County Jail with a bond of $24,605.

CONNER EVANS/HERALD

Residents of Parc at Creekstone say a homeowners association vote last year lacked transparency. The group wants to keep neighborhood roads public, despite a covenant brought to the Forsyth County Commission seeking abandonment of right of way.

Public road abandonment raises county policy concerns

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — A homeowners association vote has sparked Forsyth County officials to reconsider its policy for abandonment of public right of way.

At its Aug. 1 meeting, county commissioners heard several members of the Parc at Creekstone subdivision express concerns over the low requirements necessary to bring the abandonment of

public right of way. The subdivision’s homeowners association set up a vote in April 2018 to abandon all public right of way in the residential development, including both Manor View and Terrace Lane. The association said it intended to gate the community if the board were to approve the abandonment.

Several residents of the subdivision spoke against the abandonment, and none came to speak in favor. No members of the homeowners association were present.

Speakers said that not only was this vote not transparent — meaning residents could not tell who voted for what — but several members of the association had changed in the year since the vote was taken.

The abandonment would make roads more difficult to maintain, resident Pankaj Rajankar said, and this could devalue homes. It takes 70 percent of homeowners to approve installation of a speed bump, Rajankar said, but abandonment only takes a simple majority.

After hearing from the public, County Commissioner Todd Levent asked how this happened in the first place. Other commissioners joined in, saying that the county’s policy on abandonment should be examined.

Under current policy, if a homeowners association would like to privatize a road, they may conduct a vote within the local community. If the initiative garners a 51 percent majority, a covenant would be created that is sent to the board of commissioners.

Nearby cities and counties have much higher restrictions, requiring 100 percent approval in some cases, or a

tiered system like the one in Milton.

County Attorney Ken Jarrard said that Milton’s system requires stronger majorities for smaller neighborhoods and weaker majorities for larger neighborhoods. But the county is not bound by covenants.

“At the end of the day the board of commissioners can do what (the board) believes is in the best interest of the county on this,” Jarrard said.

Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills said the board should look into the issue. It takes 100 percent approval when the county takes back a road, Mills said, so it would make sense to set a higher requirement for public abandonment.

Turnout at the meeting, she said, also convinced her that it may be in the community’s best interest to keep the road public.

“Where are the people who wanted it so bad?” Mills said.

The board voted to push the item to its Sept. 5 agenda. The neighborhood is in Commissioner Dennis T. Brown’s district, and he said that he would organize a meeting between members on both sides of the issue in that subdivision to find a solution.

Local U16 girls soccer team wins national championship

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A local club soccer team can now exclaim it is the best in the nation. The United Futbol Academy U16 girls team captured the US Club Soccer National Cup XVII in the premier group July 23 at the championships in Commerce City, Colorado.

The team, comprised of players from Forsyth, Dekalb Gwinnett and Hall counties, went undefeated in the tournament.

“It’s amazing, not many clubs are able to accomplishment this, so it’s a big achievement for us,” head coach Sergio Magana said. “It was also a great experience to travel across the country and play against some of the better teams in the country.”

The UFA club qualified for the nationals last fall by winning its Southeastern Clubs Champion League title. Their impressive record in league play earned the team an automatic bid to nationals, allowing the team to bypass the regional tournament.

The National Cup featured eight of the top U16 teams in the nation, with teams divided into two brackets to compete in group play. The UFA squad ran the table in the group stage, beating teams from Minnesota, New Jersey and Texas with a goal differential of 7.

UFA’s performance in group play earned the team a spot in the finals where they faced Hawaii Rush Maui for the national title. UFA retained its undefeated record and took the match 3-1 to earn the tournament trophy.

“The players were phenomenal, this is something they have worked hard for all year,” Magana said. “At our first team meeting (before the tournament) the girls said if we leave here without winning then they have not accomplished much. As a coach, you want to say they have already accomplished a lot, but you know where they are at and this was something they have worked for all year.”

Fatherhood: Tips from a man who has no idea what he is doing

Part 4: Deciphering between newborns and alien life forms It has all led to this. In previous installments we have covered a wide array of topics on preparing you for the day your bundle of joy arrives. You are still nowhere near what any person with even the most basic vocabulary would call

“ready,” but there is no more time. Baby is arriving.

Well, maybe.

Your partner may experience Braxton Hicks, which are essentially false contractions, and not to be confused for

the name of some country music artist debuting his new album, “A love as falser as her contractions.”

Sometimes your partner’s due date will come and go with no sign of an JOE PARKER upcoming birth.

Reporter joe@appenmediagroup.com There are plenty of old wives tales that supposedly induce labor, including eating eggplant parmesan. There is no medical reason why the dish can cause such a reaction, it just goes to prove that even children in-utero would rather go through the stress of being born than eat eggplant.

Other suggestions are going for a walk or even intercourse. However, at this stage your partner will look like a potato with toothpicks for extremities, so her willingness to do anything physical is pretty much out of the question.

Eventually, then the 10-month, baby-building process will come a conclusion. Yes, dad-to-be, the whole “pregnancy is nine months” idea is false,

a belief put in place to give pregnant mothers hope that it’ll be over soon during those final weeks as their abdomen stretches to the size of a beach ball.

Once you and your partner have confirmed that labor is underway, it’s time to grab the “hospital bag” we talked about in the last installment. Remember how I said you should ensure you have plenty of sedatives for yourself? Now is the time to take them. Along your journey to fatherhood, you have probably felt pangs of anxiety and nervousness, but nothing up to this point will compare to the moment your partner goes into labor.

And nothing can prepare you for what you are about to see.

I could go into detail about the actual birthing process, but in the throes of the excitement, stress and crippling-anxiety, you won’t remember any advice I give you. All you will be able to think about is being there for your partner, trying to comfort her in any way that you can while you share this amazing experience and “OH MY GOD THE HUMAN BODY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT.”

MSG Foundation to hold Run Your Can Off 5K benefit run

By ADAM DARBY adam@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — The MSG Foundation is hosting the second annual Run Your Can Off 5K benefit Aug. 24 at Otwell Middle School.

The event begins at 7 a.m. with the option to participate in a 5K run starting at 8 a.m. or a 1K run at 8:55 a.m. All proceeds will go to the MSG Foundation in its fight against hunger for Forsyth County residents and households struggling to feed their families.

“I feel the benefit is a natural fit for our community,” said Wayne Hartshorn, Race Committee Chair. “Most people are compassionate and willing to help their fellow man when they can. Giving a couple of hours for a good cause while doing something one enjoys is a no-brainer.

Even with the northern suburbs considered well off, Hartshorn said, one in five persons suffers from food insecurity in the county, state and country.

“What better cause is there to fight hunger in our own hometown, so no one goes to bed hungry?” he said. “Supporting our event allows us to secure and keep food items on hand at all times for immediate need.”

Otwell Middle School is the host school for the MSG foundation for the

The MSG Foundation is hosting the second annual Run Your Can Off 5K benefit Aug. 24 at Otwell Middle School. entire year. The organization meets on the third Saturday of every month at the school to sort and pack groceries. These are then sent to the nine most economically challenged sites in the county and dispersed to needy families.

“We provide a spot for the volunteers

to put together their boxes of love (food) and load them up into cars for delivery every month,” said Steve Miller, principal of Otwell Middle School. “The MSG Foundation provides a critical support for those in our community in need. I appreciate the time and energy they put

into getting volunteers and coordinating the drop off of food to those in need.”

All pre-registered runners will receive a free T-shirt with the chance to win customized medals for different categories. The course features a series of loops running through City Hall and downtown Cumming that circle back to the school for the finish. Snacks and goodie bags will be provided with a special surprise treat waiting at the finish line. Much like the positive reception of the previous year’s benefit run, Hartshorn hopes that the event will turn a profit to further benefit the community.

“The community really opened its arms for our event…” said Hartshorn.

“Our support came from sponsors who bear the bulk of the event expense, many who also had runners…not only did our first race break even, we made a profit thanks to the support of our community. This year we will also offer an opportunity for participants to donate non-perishable food items that will go straight to our clients.”

Registration for the 5K is $25 until Aug. 10 and $35 from Aug. 11 until the day of the event. Registration for the 1K will remain priced at $15. Otwell Middle School is located at 605 Tribble Gap Road. For more information about the run or to register, visit www.active.com.

Staying above your partner’s shoulders can also dangerous to your wellbeing because she will likely be hitting you with a strength and frequency that would put Manny Pacquaio to shame.

Of course, not all births occur this way. Sometimes baby is extremely cozy in her uterine apartment and has to be evicted through medically induced labor (eggplant is pumped directly into the mother’s bloodstream). A surgeon will then perform a cesarean section, named after its inventor, Caesar Section.

Those with weak constitutions or weak stomachs should stay above you partner’s shoulders during this procedure because the surgeon will cut through approximately 4,146 levels of your partner’s flesh, muscle and tissue to get to baby.

Not all c-sections are planned, though, and sometimes for the health of baby and mother, an emergency surgery will need to be performed. If your partner has to be anesthetized, there is a good chance you will not be permitted in the operating room. Nurses may have you wait in a dark 4-foot by 6-foot room, alone, while sheer terror for the health of your partner and baby races through your mind. At least, that is what hap-

pened in my case, and why I suggest sedatives.

No matter the method of delivery, once baby makes her first appearance and you see for the first time this life that you helped create, you will be absolutely overcome with emotion — joy, relief, excitement, bliss, fulfillment, serenity and, of course, confusion.

Your bewilderment will be caused by the fact that babies fresh from the womb, and there’s no gentle way to put this, look like alien life forms from a cheesy sci-fi movie. They are slimy, covered in various viscous substances and are simultaneously around five different colors.

But you will be so overjoyed that this little alien is your son or daughter. And in a show of gratitude for bringing this sheer happiness into your life, you will lovingly caress your partner, who at this point will have thankfully gotten all the punches out of her system.

All the time spent planning, preparing and anticipating has ended. Baby is finally here, and you are officially a father, though this will still seem surreal.

But it will soon become extremely real, and that is the subject of the next installment in which we will go over the first days of being a father, and how hospitals will let you, a person with absolutely no experience at parenting whatsoever, care for every aspect of a human life.

Hospitality is one of our fastest growing industries in Roswell.

Roswell Inc to host first of career expo series Aug. 21

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Local job seekers will get a little help in the coming months.

Roswell Inc, the city’s economic development arm, is hosting the first of several career expos on Wednesday, Aug. 21 from 1-5 p.m. at Holiday Inn, 909 Holcomb Bridge Road. It is hosted in partnership with the Georgia Department of Labor and sponsored by Gas South.

Roswell Inc chose the hospitality industry as the focus of the first expo.

“This career expo series is unique in that each event strategically focuses on the staffing needs of a key industry,” said Steve Stroud, executive director of Roswell Inc. “The hospitality industry is one of Roswell’s leading industries, and with three new hotels and a number of restaurants and attractions set to open within the next year, it continues to grow. We are excited to help support that growth through the Roswell Hospitality Career Expo.”

Roswell Inc chose the hospitality industry for two main reasons, according to the organization’s Digital Communications Coordinator Ashley Allen.

“Hospitality is one of our fastest growing industries in Roswell,” Allen said.

“Also, many businesses in the hospitality industry lose staff in August as people head back to school.”

The career expo will feature an exhibit hall with more than 35 Roswell-based restaurants, breweries, hotels and attractions. Employers will be able to promote available positions and recruit job seekers. The expo will also provide a private space for one-on-one interviews.

“We created this series to help business in our community grow and suc-

ceed,” Allen said. “Being located in the North Metro area provides Roswell with great access to workforce, but the hiring process can still be a lengthy endeavor.

This event series serves as a way to make the hiring process easier and more beneficial for our employers. By partnering with the Georgia Department of Labor and other local job networking groups, we are bringing our employers and the areas’ best talent together.”

It’s all a part of Roswell Inc’s larger vision to make Roswell the best in the region for innovative, community-minded businesses and entrepreneurs, she added.

Roswell Inc is currently in the early planning stages for the following career expos, which will focus on the automotive

and medical industries. The organization is focusing on leading industries in Roswell that show a strong staffing need for the expos, Allen said.

“We spoke with business owners and organizations within each industry to assess the staffing needs,” she said.

“There was an overwhelming positive response for bringing an event like this to Roswell.”

Outside of the career expos, jobseekers can also find tools and help from the Georgia Department of Labor’s website employegeorgia.com. Roswell Inc also encourages anyone looking for jobs in Roswell to get involved with local job networking groups, including Roswell United Methodist Church Job Networking and Metro Atlanta eXchange.

Tariffs, not Fed, drops rates again

The attributes of successful leaders

I was right in the middle of writing an article that would have disappointed you interest rate hawks about how the Federal Reserve’s rate cut did not translate to a direct mortgage interest rate cut. Then the Geoff smith president flew in with Assurance Financial, an announcement of gsmith@lendtheway.com new tariffs on China, which sent rates sinking.

The Federal Reserve’s Fund Rate isn’t the mortgage interest rate. The Fed’s rate is basically the rate the Federal Reserve charges big banks to store their money at the Federal Reserve. Banks have excess cash sometimes and they always want that cash working for them.

It’s usually working in the way of investments in stocks and bonds, or earning interest on business and personal loans, among other things. But when that cash is in transition, the bank might store that money at the Federal Reserve.

When the downturn happened in 2008, banks didn’t want to invest in the stock market because it was tanking.

And they didn’t want to lend it out to anyone because the economy was crashing in such a way that every person and every business seemed like a big risk. So they wanted to park that money in the Federal Reserve and wait out the storm.

But the Federal Reserve didn’t want them doing that. It wanted banks to lend that money to people and businesses who would in turn spend it and help move the economy. So it dropped its interest rate down to near 0 percent. Banks basically make money off of money. And if they parked all of their money at the Federal Reserve, they wouldn’t have made any money at all back then. So they did what the Fed wanted them to do and loaned it out and invested it. And that moved the economy.

So that’s what the Federal rate is.

And generally, what the Fed does with it is a symbolic gesture to how the experts

A major differentiator to successfully running and growing a small business is leadership. Small business owners who are great leaders are more successful. dick jones How would you Founder & President Jones Simply Sales rate your leadership qualities? The main attributes associated with being a good leader are very consistent, and there is also a strong connection between them.

Let’s start with the most important attribute: honesty. If you are not making honest and ethical behavior a top priority, you’re probably not viewed as a good leader by your employees.

Honesty goes hand-in-hand with having integrity. Integrity requires that you always tell the truth, to all people, in every situation.

Good leaders also have a vision of where they are going and what they are trying to accomplish. They share their vision in simplistic terms with all of their employees in a way that engages them to be part of the journey.

Good leaders also have courage, which means they are willing to take risks to achieve their vision.

A major attribute that also separates the good leaders is humility.

Humility in leadership means that you have the self-confidence to recognize the value of your employees without feeling threatened. In other words, good ideas on how to improve your small business often come from employees, and your ability to recognize and leverage this requires humility.

Good leaders are meticulous planners, have a tremendous focus on getting things done, show their enthusiasm and confidence all the time, and inspire others to do the same.

Are you a good leader or not?

I was right in the middle of writing an article that would have disappointed you interest rate hawks about how the Federal Reserve’s rate cut did not translate to a direct mortgage interest rate cut.

Then the president flew in with an announcement of new tariffs on China, which sent rates sinking. at the Federal Reserve view the shape of our near-term and long-term economies.

The experts at the U.S. Federal Reserve are some of the best in the world. And they have access to the best data in the world. So their opinion on the economy spurs investors into action.

By raising the Fed rate, they can slow down lending and investing by giving banks a safe place to earn a decent return. They do this when they think the economy is overheating and inflation, the measure of the rise in costs for goods and services, is rising too fast.

The Federal Reserve is an artist when it comes to releasing information. There is no slower drip of hints as to what something will do than that of a Federal Reserve chairman talking about what the board will and won’t do. As such, experts were confident over a month ago that the Federal Reserve would lower their rate at the July meeting. So investors, including mortgage rate-makers, adjusted accordingly. As such, when the Fed announced its rate-cut, mortgage rates really didn’t move very much. They moved a little lower because many experts interpreted the chairman’s comments as hinting of yet another rate-cut soon.

And that’s where I thought it was going to stay. Then on Thursday, our president declared he would impose a 10 percent tariff on $300 billion in Chinese imports.

Rates did indeed drop on this news.

Mortgage interest rates are actually closely tied to the 10-Year Treasury Yield.

That’s because most people sell their

homes after 7-10 years. The yield, and mortgage rates, go up when investors feel good about their understanding of the economy and instead of buying 10-Year Treasuries, they invest in stocks. Both go down when investors are uneasy about what’s about to happen in our economy, so they pull their money from the stock market and invest in more safe investment mechanisms like bonds.

No one, probably including both our president and the Chinese premier, know exactly where this trade war is headed.

Or how exactly these new tariffs will impact our economy. And when investors don’t know where the profits will be, well, you know the story. They buy bonds. And that’s what they did Thursday. To the point where it drove the 10-Year Treasury Yield down to its lowest point since 2016.

And rates dropped with it. The average rate for a 30-year fixed Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac loan is 3.77 percent, according to MortgageNewsDaily.

Coping with Psoriasis Brought to you by — Home Helpers of Alpharetta August is Psoriasis Action Month.

Studies show over 7.4 million Americans have psoriasis, and for your older loved one it can pose uncomfortable challenges that can affect their quality of life.

Understanding this condition and being able to recognize the symptoms can help you get the medical care they need.

Psoriasis Basics Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition. T cells in the body mistake healthy cells for an infection that needs to be fought. This makes new skin cells rise to the surface of the skin much more quickly than they should, taking just days instead of weeks. They build up on the skin’s surface where they form red, itchy patches of skin that can appear scaly. The disease isn’t curable, but it can be treated to make symptoms better by slowing the abnormal growth of skin cells. It often occurs with several other conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, psoriatic arthritis and anxiety.

Psoriasis is not contagious.

Symptoms of Psoriasis There are a number of types of psoriasis, and symptoms differ for every person. Here are some of the common signs: • Patches of skin that are red and have silvery scales.

• Small scaly spots.

• Skin that is dry and cracked, that may bleed.

• Skin that itches, burns, or feels sore.

• Fingernails or toenails that are pitted, thick, or have ridges.

• Joints that are stiff and swollen.

Some people have only small spots of psoriasis while others have patches

that cover larger areas of their bodies. Typically, people have cycles where symptoms worsen for a time, then get better for a while. They may even have periods of remission when no symptoms are present.

Watch for Triggers Triggers vary from person to person.

Stress can cause psoriasis to flare up for the first time, so it’s helpful to practice stress and relaxation techniques. Older skin that has been injured or traumatized is also at risk. Watch carefully for damage like cuts or scrapes, moisturize regularly and maintain a healthy diet.

Medication, shots, vaccines and even sunburns can bring on a flare up.

It’s important to consult your doctor when you suspect psoriasis. When symptoms are accompanied by joint pain or swelling, your older loved one could have psoriatic arthritis.

This may be the ideal time to consider the benefits and peace of mind professional in-home care can provide.

The companionship and assistance a carefully matched, heart centered Home Helpers caregiver provides can help your older loved one stay happy, healthy and safe as they age in place. Our highly personalized care can boost self-confidence and help live life to the fullest. A Home Helpers Caregiver has the skills to assist with all personal care, help around the house, provide transportation and specialized care for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc.

‘Just rub some black salve on it and call me in the morning’ (And other phrases you won’t hear your dermatologist tell you)

By Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Frequently, I field questions from patients about alternative therapies for treating the skin and specifically skin cancer. One of the most Dr. Taylor interesting treatments available is called “Black Salve” – interesting because it is not merely a placebo, but rather does have real effects. Black salve is also interesting because its history has intersected with that of allopathic medicine in ways that are important to medicine’s most advanced skin cancer treatments. Black salve has been used for decades as a way to treat growths including warts, moles and even skin cancer (but dermatologists do not recommend using it for this purpose).

Black salve is a mixture of zinc chloride and Sanguinaria canadensis (aka Bloodroot), and sometimes Larrea tridentata (aka creosote bush or chaparral).

But what are these three ingredients?

Zinc chloride is an escharotic and tissue fixative. An eschar is a piece of dead tissue that will eventually turn black and slough off the skin. When applied to the skin, zinc chloride causes cell death and chemically fixes tissue into a relatively hard dead mass or plaque -- an “eschar.”

If applied to a skin cancer, zinc chloride may kill the cancer, but the zinc chloride may also damage surrounding tissue.

Zinc chloride is non-specific, damaging both unhealthy and healthy tissue that it contacts. Numerous case reports exist in the medical literature of people applying zinc chloride paste only to have a cancer come back worse or metastasize. Application of this paste has also been reported as causing severe scarring and deformity.

Bloodroot is a flowering plant indigenous to eastern North America. Bloodroot gets its name from a red sap that can be harvested from the roots to dye baskets or cloth. Bloodroot also produces an ammonium-based chemical that kills animal cells and that is an escharotic, similar to zinc chloride.

Creosote or chaparral is a desert plant whose extracts include certain compounds touted as having antioxidant properties.

Chaparral is listed in the FDA’s poisonous plant database where its entry states that it has caused liver injury and even fulminant hepatic failure requiring a liver transplant.

An interesting intersection of black salve with allopathic medicine is that Dr. Frederick Mohs used a compound combining zinc chloride, antimony trisulfide

and bloodroot as a “chemopaste” that was instrumental in helping him to develop “Mohs surgery” – the skin cancer treatment that bears his name and is now the most effective, precise and advanced method for treating skin cancer. Developed in the 1930s, Mohs’ chemopaste allowed him to harden and fix a skin cancer and a small area of surrounding skin. He then would remove that area, slice it thinly and examine it under the microscope to make sure that the margins were clear of tumor. When cancer was still present at an edge, he would remove more skin from the patient and again examine it under the microscope until all the cancer had been removed. The chemopaste was often applied the night before surgery, was very painful and caused substantial damage to surrounding tissue. Mohs’ method of using chemopaste and examining tissue under the microscope was imperfect, but it was certainly better than alternative methods of skin cancer removal available at the time.

By the late 1970s, machines that could freeze tissue and allow it to be cut with precision and without the use of this chemopaste became available, making the chemopaste obsolete. Modern Mohs surgery involves numbing a skin cancer and the surrounding skin with lidocaine, removing the visible tumor and a small margin, checking the edges for tumor and repeating this process until all microscopically visible cancer has been removed.

Modern Mohs surgery results in a 99% cure rate for most skin cancers, and suturing and repair techniques are so refined that deformity is extremely rare and in most cases minimal scarring occurs.

Black salve’s cousin “Mohs’ chemopaste” played an important role in the development of Mohs surgery. Patients inclined toward naturopathic remedies should not feel that choosing Mohs surgery over black salve is a rejection of their holistic worldview. Rather, modern medicine and evidence-guided physicians honor the natural world when we acknowledge the astounding number of modern treatments derived from nature and guide our patients toward therapies that offer the greatest chance to heal.

Black salve should not be viewed as an alternative to Mohs surgery but rather as an important historical stepping stone to this incredibly effective surgical technique.

If you or a loved one has skin cancer, consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Dr. Brent Taylor is a board certified dermatologist, vein specialist, and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon. He and his outstanding team take pride in providing personalized, caring and state-of-the-art treatment.

Task force: Middle class shrinking in North Fulton Poverty Task Force to host inaugural summit Nov. 7

By Julia Grochowski julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Financial vulnerability has been an emerging, growing issue in North Fulton as affordability and the middle class has shrunk, according to representatives of the North Fulton Poverty Task Force.

The representatives spoke at the Aug. 8 Roswell Rotary Club meeting at Roswell Area Park to offering a look at North Fulton’s “invisible neighbors.”

Suburban poverty has been growing nationwide, but metro Atlanta is among the highest with 129 percent poverty growth in five years, said North Fulton Poverty Task Force executive team member Nancy Diamond.

The reason for growth, she said, is a disparity between wage earnings and

rent over time.

“Wage growth is not keeping up with housing costs and cost of living,” Diamond said.

To illustrate the point, she compared numbers from an MIT study estimating Fulton County’s cost of living with average income numbers.

For a family of two adults and two children living in Fulton County, required annual income before taxes is nearly $65,000. The figure includes food, childcare, housing and transportation costs, but does not include any savings or medical emergency costs.

The North Fulton Poverty Task Force estimates that the number is even higher for North Fulton families, between $80,000-$90,000.

Edwin D. Spivia, 78, of Gainesville, Ga., passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, July 27, 2019 after a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia. He is best known for putting Georgia on the map for filmmakers and as a favorite destination for millions of tourists.

Known by many as “Big Ed,” he was born in Murphy, N.C., June 6, 1941. After attending Young Harris College he became a radio announcer at WCVP and WKRK radio stations in Murphy. In 1965, Mr. Spivia moved to Atlanta becoming a traffic and news reporter for WGST Radio.

At age 25, his interview with newly elected state Rep. Julian Bond led to the House refusing to seat the young legislator, and then, ultimately, the courts supporting Bond. The incident thrust Bond into the national spotlight and Mr. Spivia into Georgia journalism history.

In 1968, Mr. Spivia began work for the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade, where, after visiting the “Deliverance” film site, he conceived of making Georgia a prime location for movie and television producers.

He presented the concept to then Gov. Jimmy Carter who chose him to develop the Georgia Film Commission, to lure film production to the state. The effort began in earnest in 1972, and within 10 years, over 200 films were produced in Georgia, including blockbusters like “Smokey and the Bandit” and “The Big Chill.”

Mr. Spivia was then asked to head up the Georgia Tourism Division where the successful marketing phrase “Georgia, for

Good Time or a Lifetime” and the Georgia Peach State logo were created. During his seven-year tenure, he promoted the different regions of Georgia, eliminating the practice of communities competing against each other for tourists. This approach increased the state’s tourism budget three-fold and resulted in Georgia moving from 27th in tourism revenue and visitation nationally to 7th — second only to Florida in the Southeast.

Mr. Spivia’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to the Lakewood Fairgrounds in Atlanta to develop the property to include a major film studio. In 1983, former Macon Mayor Buck Melton and Macon businessman Ben Porter formed Filmworks, USA. Mr. Spivia was named president. Filmworks owned a 50-year lease on the Lakewood site and created what became the nationally acclaimed Lakewood Antiques Market. Through his contacts at Universal Studios, Mr. Spivia convinced Universal to build the 18,000-seat Lakewood Amphitheatre on the site.

In 2006, he worked with the City of Atlanta as they repurchased the lease. Today the site houses EUE Screen Gems Studios of New York, one of the country’s premier movie production facilities.

Ed Spivia and his wife, Barbara, and long-time friend and business associate Diane Dominick, moved the antiques market

to Cumming, where it became the thriving Lakewood 400 Antiques Market with over 200 dealers. Mr. Spivia’s two sons, Rhett and Greg, became partners in the business in December 2018.

Though retired from the film industry, Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue reached out to Mr. Spivia in 2006 to revive efforts to entice film producers to the state, asking him to chair the newly formed Georgia Film Video and Music Advisory Commission. The panel led the effort to pass an incentives package through the Georgia Legislature, helping make Georgia among the top three film, video and music production states in the country today.

Mr. Spivia served on boards of the Georgia Hospitality and Travel Association, Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau, Travel South USA (chair), Georgia Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, American Diabetes Association of Georgia and Georgia Press Association Associates (president).

In 2017, he received the Georgia Entertainment Gala & Awards “Outstanding Contribution to the Georgia Entertainment Industry” award.

Mr. Spivia, himself, claimed his finest accomplishments were his three children, his marriage to Barbara and their blended family.

In Memoriam

He loved nothing more than spending time with them, especially on Lake Lanier.

When a man’s stories are remembered, it is said he is considered immortal. With too many stories left to tell, “Big Ed,” and his piercing blue eyes, beautiful smile and charismatic personality will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Ed Spivia was preceded in death by his parents, Mildred Graves and Edwin Spivia and his stepfather, Burton Graves. He is survived by his wife of 17 years, Barbara Black Spivia; sons, Rhett (Paula) and Greg (Amy); daughter Cole; stepsons Philip Beegle ( Jennifer), Brian Beegle and Kevin Beegle; sister, Nancy (Spivia) Anderson (Clay); brothers, Ronnie Graves (Pat) and David Graves ( Jill); a host of nieces and nephews, five grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

The family expressed gratitude to Mr. Spivia’s caregivers, Linda Griffin and Mary Ellen Sperry, who supported Barbara in her effort to fulfill her husband’s desire to die at home, in his bed, looking at the lake with his family and his dogs around him. The family will hold a private celebration of his life.

Donations can be made in Mr. Spivia’s honor to Lewy Body Dementia Association 912 Killian Hill Road, SW Lilburn, GA 30047 404-935-6444 https://www.lbda.org/donate

P A B A S T E N O L A P S While these numbers do not reflect the federal poverty income level A B E L N O M A D E D E N — $24,250 for a family of four — it’s a S O L I C I T U D E A I D E growing issue North Fulton can’t afford T R I C O T I S A D O R A to ignore, Diamond said.

Additionally, the discrepancy means PuzzleJunction.com that local businesses have trouble finding and retaining workers, and the next generation cannot afford to live where they grew up, she added.

“We’ve seen businesses move to Georgia, to North Fulton, and quietly shift to other parts to improve retention,”

Diamond said.

The North Fulton Poverty Task Force is looking at ways to combat the issue.

And on Nov. 7, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m., it will host its inaugural community summit at Mt. Pisgah United Methodist Church to discuss and develop ways to address the problem. The summit is free, but seats are limited, so attendees are asked to register.
