Fulton County estimates the overall value of property in Johns Creek has increased 9.5 percent from $4.9 billion last year to $5.4 billion in 2022. A ma jority of the change is attributed to the reassessment of existing real property as well as $87 million of growth from new homes and $82 million from new commercial properties being added to the tax Historically,digest. the tax digest has grown by approximately $70 million per year. The increase indicates that the construction of new residential and commercial buildings has returned to normal, pre-pandemic levels. The increased value of the tax digest is ex pected to generate approximately $20.8 million, or $2.3 million more than what was previously anticipated.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin reported this week that negotiations with Fulton Coun ty over the countywide local option sales tax are not going well. Speaking at the Aug. 15 City Council meeting, Gilvin said leaders representing Fulton County’s 15 cit ies have met with negotiators twice since the county proposed increas ing the share of sales tax distribu tions it receives by more than 600 percent over what it has been get ting over the past 10 years. The county has said it wants to return to a pre-2000 LOST distri bution rate split of 35 percent to the county and 65 percent divided among the cities. At their Aug. 12 meeting, Fulton County officials shared three new proposals. The lowest option would increase the county’s share from 4.9 percent to 21 percent, which Gilvin said is still not acceptable.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Johns Creek City Council has voted to hold the millage rate steady. Following a third public hearing on Aug. 15, city officials adopted a millage rate of 3.986 per $1,000 of net as sessed value and a parks bond millage rate of .390 per $1,000 of net assessed value for fiscal year 2022. Property taxes constitute roughly one-third of the city’s general fund rev enue base and provide the means by which to fund capital projects in city operations. But, even with the city’s millage rate remaining unchanged from 2021, residents may still see their taxes increase because of rising prop erty value assessments.

ATLANTA — A nationwide Federal Bu reau of Investigation sex trafficking op eration this month located 28 missing children and adolescent sex trafficking victims in “OperationGeorgia.Cross Country XII,” which partnered FBI agents with over 200 state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States, targeted individuals and criminal enterprises involved in child sex traf ficking and human trafficking over a two-weekBetweenperiod.Aug. 4 and Aug. 14, law enforcement agencies in Georgia lo cated 28 adolescent victims, including 18 missing children and nine children who were being commercially sexually exploited.Operations in Atlanta also led to the arrest of four people on human trafficking charges, said Keri Farley Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta.
“Human trafficking is among the most heinous crimes the FBI encoun ters,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “Unfortunately, such crimes— against both adults and children—are far more common than most people realize. As we did in this operation, the FBI and our partners will continue to find and arrest traffickers, identify and help victims, and raise awareness of the exploitation of our most vulnerable populations.”

prehending sex trafficking offenders is a critical part of our mission,” Farley said at a press conference on Aug. 16. “It’s important for anyone who is a victim of sexual exploitation to know that we prioritize the safety of victims when working with our law enforce ment partners to bring sex traffickers to justice.”Additional investigations are being carried out throughout Georgia in the wake of Operation Cross Country. Officers from police departments and sheriff’s offices in Dunwoody, At lanta, Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Carroll counties participated in the operation, as well as officers from multiple school systems throughout the metro-Atlanta area.

“The FBI is a critical partner in our efforts to identify and rescue adults and children who are being victims of sex trafficking,” Dunwoody Chief of Police Billy Grogan said. “It’s an issue that a lot of people don’t want to talk about, but it’s certainly some thing that’s prevalent, more than most people know. And you can certainly look at the stats of Operation Cross Country to note that.”
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Johns Creek hosted this year’s MLB Play Ball event Aug. 20 at Ocee Park. The hour-long free event is for children of all ages and is designed to focus on the fun nature of baseball while encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle for kids. During their hour on the field, kids enjoyed alternating between hitting and catching exercises with visits from former Atlanta Braves outfielder Terry Harper and Gwinnett Braves Mascot Chopper. This was followed by a quick whiffle ball game, with each participant offered the chance to hit a ball pitched by Harper himself. Each child also received a free T-shirt and a goodie bag filled with treats and baseball cards.
“This event helps kick off the start of our fall youth baseball season and is a great way for kids to get excited about the game of baseball,” Johns Creek Recreation Manager Kirk Franz said. “Getting the chance to hit off a former Atlanta Braves player is a cool experience that many won’tJohnsforget.”Creek first introduced the event in 2016 after having learned about it through the U.S. Conference of May ors. The city added it to the recreation schedule to celebrate baseball and softball as a youth activity. The youth baseball program is run by volunteers of the Ocee Park Athletic Association (OPAA). Assist ing with each of the exercises and ac tivities are current baseball players from Chattahoochee High School. Play Ball is a collaborative initiative between Major League Baseball and USA Baseball focused on exposing children to baseball and softball while providing a way to remain active during the summer. Play Ball also hosts educational online resources for coaches, umpires, parents and players. To learn more about the organization, visit their website at www. playball.org.“We’vehad nothing but positive feed back from this event in previous years,” Franz said. “And with our hometown Atlanta Braves playing well and fighting to win the division, our baseball community has a lot to be excited about.” This year was no different with dozens of children in attendance showing up to participate. Ocee Park is located on 10900 Buice Road. To learn more about the event, contact Franz at kirk.franz@ johnnscreek.ga.gov or call 678-512-3261. For upcoming local events, visit www. johnscreek.ga.gov.

It was seven years ago when Sharon Thacker found Ebenezer Methodist Church. “I used to drive by and see this little white church on the corner and thought to myself, ‘One day I’m gonna go in there,’” Thacker said. “Then one day I did, and I neverThackerleft.” talked about a greeter at Eb enezer, Sandy Calbeck, who sat with her at her first after-church supper. Calbeck, dressed in an identical light blue Ebenezer volunteer shirt, said that at every service she gets the names of newcomers, goes home, puts them in her calendar and makes sure to call them by their first name when she sees them again. “You walk in, and it feels like you’ve been there forever,” Thacker said.

“Oh, we’re all ready,” Calbeck said. Almost 200 people celebrated in front of the historic white clapboard church Saturday afternoon. Members and friends gathered under a white canopy where The Band Jubilee performed. The band, consisting of Buggay family members, used guitar, mandolin, harp, upright bass and banjo to play bluegrass, gospel and Celtic stylings. Off to the side, barbecue and desserts were served as well as “world famous” Brunswick stew, a classic South ern barbecue dish. Before the groundbreaking, Pastor Glenn Hannigan and Pardue took turns on stage to talk about the project’s time line and vision and to give thanks to those who helped with the project.

“It’s a longer story involving a lot of Holy Spirit intervention,” Hannigan said. Hannigan said the event is less about groundbreaking and more about finishing up what his predecessor, Pastor Jack Pilg er, started. Hannigan has been Ebenezer’s pastor since 2010. He had earlier served as sports editor for the Atlanta Journal Constitution.Fortheceremony, architectural designer Regie Elkins, benefactor Dwight Pardue, lay person Craig Crouch and Su san Dunphy, Pilger’s daughter, threw dirt using golden shovels. The Rev. Charles “Chuck” Savage of Sardis Church in Atlanta consecrated the grounds.“Consecration means that we set something aside for a specific purpose,” Savage said. “The purpose that this is be ing set aside for is so that God’s word will go out into this community.” The plan for the facility is for it to stand as an invitation to the community, extending past the average Sunday service attendee.Hannigan talked about holding weekly bluegrass and gospel nights, youth-orient ed nights, open mic nights and commu nity theater. For Hannigan, the potential is endless.“Whatcan we do to attract the people that don’t come here now?” Hannigan asked.To pay homage to Milton’s farmstead origins, church staff wanted the build ing designed with rustic charm. The plan was for the facility to resemble Scottsdale Farms in Alpharetta, Elkins said. Elkins described the facility’s accom modating features, like the top floor which was designed without columns to host activities like kids’ basketball, dinners and weddings.Healso spoke of the importance of flow between the building’s inside and outside spaces, so that large activities could eas ily be opened to the exterior. The outside amphitheater helps to advance that flow, Elkins“Thesaid.goal of this was for the facility to be a community activity center, not an Ebenezer activity center.”

Ebenezer Methodist Church to expand reach
In unison, Thacker and Calbeck voiced their excitement Aug. 13 at a ground breaking event for a 23,000-square-foot community and multi-purpose center across from the church at the corner of Ga. 140 and Cox Road in Roswell. The building, to be named the Pardue Family Foundation Center, was funded by Dwight Pardue Jr., a member of the church since 2014 and founder of the Pardue Family Foundation.Ebenezer Methodist was established in 1853 and sits on 1 acre, but church lead ers say they think the expansion on the adjacent 5-acre site will bring in more of the community. Plans call for completion of the facility in 2024. Pardue established the foundation in memory of his father and said that the primary reason for starting it was to fund Ebenezer’s new project. His parents were churchgoers for as long as he can remem ber.“I think it’s something my family would have been very proud of,” Pardue said. Traditional services will still be held in the church, but a contemporary service will be held in the new space, Calbeck said. She also spoke about the potential of a coffee shop and daycare.
As part of that new mission, Stage Door Theater has introduced additional performance opportunities for stu dents in the Performing Arts Academy and added a collection of Saturday performances at arts organizations across Atlanta, including Dad’s Garage Theatre.Formore information and to buy tickets for upcoming performances at the Stage Door Theatre, visit them online at Stagedoortheatrega.org.

CHAMIAN CRUZ/APPEN MEDIA City Councilman Larry Dibiase and Councilwoman Erin Elwood talk during a break at the Aug. 15 City Council meeting, where they voted to adopt a millage rate of 3.986 per $1,000 of net assessed value and a parks bond millage rate of .390 per $1,000 of net assessed value for fiscal year 2022.
Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin speaks to members of the City Council Aug. 16 about the current state of negotiations with Ful ton County over the distribution of local option sales tax dollars.
The new system will use state-ofthe art technology to alert local first responders of emergencies in a more effective ways, Public Safety Director John Robison said.

“We thought that a 5 to 15 percent window was at least something we could sit down and discuss,” Gilvin said. “Unfortunately, last Friday there wasn’t a lot of progress, and once again the representatives from the cit ies walked in with expectations … and unfortunately Fulton County presented something completely different.”
Gilvin said 21 percent of the $252 million-a-year LOST collections, equals more than $830 million over the agree ment’s 10-year life. Striking such a deal, Gilvin said, would have huge im pacts on the cities of Fulton County. “The money’s gotta come from somewhere,” he said. “Every dollar they take from the cities over their $4.92 (million) now, is either going to result in lack of services or tax increases to supplement that.”

The measure to adopt a millage rate of 3.986 per $1,000 of net assessed value passed 5-2, with Councilman Chris Coughlin and Mayor John Brad berry voting against. During the meeting, Coughlin also made a motion to lower the current parks bond millage rate of .390 to .339 per $1,000 of net assessed value to offset some of the increased revenue the city is expected to collect in FY 2022. The measure did not pass, with council members saying it was too much of a Loomingrisk.over the city’s budget plan ning process is whether it can expect to receive similar distributions of the county local option sales tax. In July, Fulton County proposed increasing its share of sales tax dis tributions by more than 600 percent over what it has been receiving in the last 10 years. That would increase the county’s share from 4.9 percent to 35 percent, leaving the cities with 65 per cent to divide among themselves. Bradberry said it’s unclear how Ful ton County plans to spend the funds if it were to increase its share of sales tax distributions. He added that any major decrease in LOST revenues could cause wide-reaching and complicated problems, because Johns Creek would likely need to amend its charter to raise its millage rate enough to com pensate for losses. Leaders in neighboring cities are in negotiations with Fulton County. The measure to maintain the parks bond millage rate at .390 per $1,000 of net assessed value passed 5-2, with Coughlin and Councilman Bob Erra milli voting against. The next City Council meeting is Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
For some cities like Johns Creek, Sandy Springs and Milton, any major decrease in LOST revenues could cause wide-reaching and complicated prob lems, Gilvin said, because those cities would likely need to amend their char ters to raise their millage rate enough to compensate for losses. But even more shocking than the pace of negotiations, city leaders said they were surprised by the relaxed at titude some county negotiators took to letting the sales tax expire when the deadline for a distribution agreement ends on Dec. 31. Gilvin claimed that Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts stated the county is prepared to adjust to a post-LOST environment, which he found“I’vedisappointing.knownchairman Pitts for a long time, I’ve had tremendous respect for him,” Gilvin said. “Maybe he’s bluff ing, maybe he’s not, but the fact is that if he doesn’t sign that agreement in some way shape or form by the end of the year, it goes away.” Pitts did not immediately respond to Appen Media’s request for comment on Tuesday.Cityandcounty officials will return to the negotiating table again on Aug. 26. Jail generator replacement Also at Monday night’s Alpharetta City Council meeting, members ap proved a contract to replace the generator at the Alpharetta Detention Facility.According to Alpharetta Director of Public Works Pete Sewczwicz, this is the last diesel generator to be switched over to natural gas for the city’s public safety buildings, and will be more ef ficient, cost effective and reliable. The replacement will cost $97,078, and Sewczwicz said they should receive it within 8-10 weeks of purchase.

Jeannie Lee, a senior in college, start ed fencing when she was in high school and competed in the Junior Olympics. She said she had to stop fencing com petitively because her school doesn’t offer NCAA Division 1 fencing, but she still practices at Olympic Fencers Club.
Kung Bae and Korean Olym pic fencers visit Olympic Fencers Club throughout the year to work with the students, which they say is an invaluable experience.WhileJung didn’t start out as a fenc er, he said he learned from his father-inlaw. In 2013, when he began teaching, he honed his skills by practicing with his students. Jung and Annie have coached at Lambert, South Forsyth and Peachtree Ridge high schools and continue to coach at Mill Creek, Denmark and Alpharetta highJungschools.said there are two high school leagues in Georgia, with the Georgia High School Fencing League the most popu lar in Fulton County and Onguard High School Fencing League taking precedence in Gwinnett County. Many of the stu dents who take up the sport at Olympic Fencers Club are high schoolers who are looking for one more thing to add to their resume before applying to college. Some of them have gone on to be re cruited to fence at Princeton, Penn State and the U.S. Air Force Academy. Jung said he and Annie have taught other disciplines, but now they mainly focus on épée, because it is the easiest for volun teers to referee, and it is what’s mostly offered at the local high schools. “I’m a sportsman,” Jung said. “I love this sport. Before I started fencing, I loved to swim and ski, but fencing is totally different. Swimming is just to try to break my own record. I’m fighting with myself. With fencing, I need a partner and every single opponent is different, so I need a new plan. It’s like chess. We need to focus more than 100 percent, and that is very tiring, but it’s a good feeling.”

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The students at Olympic Fencers Club say what keeps them practicing the sport is the fun com munity around them. But, working with Olympians and winning regional and national champion ships helps too. Fencing is a sport derived from duel ing, played by two opponents on a strip or ‘piste’ 2 meters by 12 meters long. The goal is to score ‘hits’ or ‘touches’ on an opponent. The first player to score a given number of hits – usually between five and 15 – wins the bout. The three disciplines in modern fencing are foil, épée and sabre. In 2010, coaches Henry Jung and Annie Lee opened Olympic Fencers Club on Medlock Bridge Road in Johns Creek after moving to the U.S. from Korea five years earlier. Since then, it has been ranked the No. 1 club in the U.S. Fenc ing: Georgia Division for seven con secutive years. It has approximately 220 students.Backin Korea, Jung and Annie met while competing on teams at the Korean National Sports University. Jung was a swimmer and Annie a fencer. Annie’s fa ther, Kun Bae Lee, was a professor at the school and served as the head coach for the Korean national fencing team for 15 years. He has received numerous awards over the years for his critical role in the development of Korean style fencing. In fact, Korea has grown into a fenc ing powerhouse, having won five gold medals, three silver and eight bronze in Olympic fencing. It is tied with China as the Asian country with the most gold medals.

His students agree. Nicole Moon, a junior at Lambert High School, started fencing in middle school, because she saw the sport on a TV show, and it captured her interest. This year, she is co-captain of her school’s team. However, she said last year was the first time both the women’s and men’s teams at Lambert High won gold, which was a huge accomplishment. She said she owes it all to her coaches, Jung and Annie.

“We’ve had so many new members of all different ages and interests join since I started, and it’s really interesting to see them all come together in this one club because we are like a family,” Moon said. “We all support each other.”
“Fencing is a huge part of me now, because I have done it for a long time and it’s super fun,” Jeannie said. “Being in fencing energizes me, gives me motivation and allows me to just keep pushing my self. It all depends on what you want to get out of it. The coaches here will match your needs 100 percent whether you’re a beginner wanting to have fun and exer

cise or looking to compete.” At 69 years old, Dave Aton also takes classes at the facility. He said he was first introduced to the sport as a stu dent at Emory University. Then, in the early 2000s his son started fencing at Alpharetta High School, so he figured he should start doing it again because he was already driving him to practice.

Olympic Fencers Club offers a free beginner class every Friday for all ages, starting at 5 years old. After that, stu dents can join either the beginners class, kids class, or teen and adult class. Rates range from $150 a month for one class a week to $220 a month for unlimited classes, plus a one-time registration fee of $49. Equipment is available to rent. For more information or to sign up, visit olympicfencersclub.com.
“During the early part of the pan demic, when the club was closed, I was just sitting at home, not getting the same kind of exercise, and I could feel my body slowing down,” Aton said. “I felt five years older. Finally, after almost a year, when I started fencing again, it took four months of fencing, but I got back up to feeling normal.”Jung said the club closed for about three months in 2020. Until a year ago, not all of their original fencers had come back, but since November of last year, new students have continued to sign up.
Aton said he loves that fencing is one of the few sports that parents can do with their kids. He said another thing he en joys is that they can be within 6 to 8 feet of “all the action” at tournaments. Plus, he said, it’s a great form of exercise.
Jeannie added that she thinks fencing is one of the most “COVID-friendly” sports, because students wear a mask over their head and are forced to keep a distance between them and their opponent.
“So, while other sports require close contact and you might be scared of doing the sport during the pandemic, I think fencing provides such a good alternative for exercise, and it’s a very clean environ ment that we keep here,” Jeannie said.

Brown said there were several inci dents in which the residents “were very aggressive and verbally abusive” to them. Additionally, the housing authority is having a hard time hiring and retaining full-time maintenance technicians.
The redevelopment could take several years, but Brown has said that when it is completed, tenants will have the opportu nity to move back to 199 Grove Way. On Aug. 9, she said more than half the resi dents have found housing or are working through the final paperwork. Only nine of the residents are still looking for housing options.Inthe meantime, Nate Brooks, re gional manager of the Leumas Group, has been visiting the site to work with residents one-on-one and to train some additional staff. That’s because the two relocation specialists HUD had hired to provide administrative support quit.
In the past, Mayor Kurt Wilson has said that unless the federal government under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, takes action, the city is not allowed to, mean ing it cannot legally put up a loan to help finance a project.

Roswell Housing Authority turns to city for support
“I appreciate that,” Parrish said, “but we have tabled and tabled and tabled for years now. I think the property was purchased in 2014. It’s 2022 now, so at some point, we have to really get serious aboutBoardit.”
member Eric Schumacher said he just wanted to take more time to consider the impact the increase would have on residents and the future of the property.“Iam OK with an increase,” Schum acher said. “I would just want to make sure that we could explain that increase with data and numbers so that it’s fair and the residents that are currently living there understand it.”
“In my experience, as long as the folks are working with us to actively try to help us find somewhere for them, that [Leu mas will] continue to work with them,” Brown said. “Leumas had a 90-day contract, but they pretty much have to stay here until everybody gets relocated.
The 40 units at 199 Grove Way are owned by the Housing Authority of Roswell but managed by the Gainesville Housing Authority through a mutual agreement. Tenants earn below 80 per cent of the area median income. They are all elderly and/or disabled. In March, the agencies notified resi dents the City of Roswell had deemed the building structurally unsound, and they would need to relocate by the end of Au gust. But, over the past couple of months, relocation challenges have mounted for residents, because of a lack of afford able housing in North Fulton County and landlords unwilling to accept governmentsubsidized Section 8 vouchers.
“We’ve had temps that come for a little while and then don’t come back,” Brown said. “So, we’re getting a little more aggressive about our search. I’m not sure what else we can do. Our facili ties manager has been coming on site at least once a week. We’re also borrowing from the Norcross Housing Authority …, and Dwight, who’s our resident who has worked as a maintenance technician before, he’s kind of serving as our on-call maintenance person and handling any routine work orders that come up.”

Our residents are just going to have to work with us while we try to work through this.”
Brown said the Federal Home Loan Banks’ current rent structure states the housing authority could be charg ing $1,736 a month for a two-bedroom apartment and $1,793 for a three-bed room. Right now, the agency is charging between $715 and $850 for its units. She said rental rates have been rising about 7 percent per year. Costs overall, Brown said, are up about 20 percent. Parrish added that since she became chairwoman in 2018, the housing authority has never raised the rent on the apartments. The board agreed to table the item and revisit it before the end of the year.
… I’ve also been driving folks to look at different apartments and making phone calls. We’re supporting Leumas in what ever way that we can.”

The city, however, can help the hous ing authority attain points to qualify for a development deal under the HUD program. Properties earn points through HUD’s Real Estate Assessment Center inspections by their level of safe and sanitary living conditions. Wilson has also stated that in order for the city to provide its support to the housing authority, he expects there to be a higher level of engagement between the twoBethentities.Brown, executive director of the Gainesville Housing Authority, said the agencies are also drafting a letter to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for help in securing some gap fi nancing. Gap financing refers to a shortterm loan for the purpose of meeting an immediate financial obligation until suf ficient funds to finance the longer-term financial need can be secured.
ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell officials have promised a letter of support to go forward with a financial commitment to redevelop 199 Grove Way, according to Karen Par rish, chairwoman of the Housing Author ity ofAtRoswell.itsregular monthly meeting Aug. 9, Parrish said that while the board had not yet received the letter, she hopes it will be ready by the end of the month.
“We got their assurances personally,” Parrish said.
Bionca Johnson, the property man ager, will also be out on leave for the next four weeks, so Brown said she will be tak ing her place until her spot can be filled.
“Our residents are just going to have to work with us while we try to work through this,” Brown said. “… We’re just sort of keeping our head above water here. We’re working closely with the relocation company, and we are meeting with HUD weekly to get updates on where we are with relocation – that’s a big focus right

In other business at the Aug. 9 Hous ing Authority meeting, the board consid ered an action plan to raise rents at the Myrtle Street Apartments. The property is one of more than 50 other income-based housing units owned by the Housing Authority of Roswell.

One of the most common questions that patients ask before Mohs surgery is how the surgeon knows the depth to cut. Mohs surgery is a method for cur ing skin cancer that involves removing tissue in layers. But how does the Mohs surgeon know how much to remove each time? The answer to that question has layers of its own. Mohs surgery is performed on many different locations on the body, so the answer to how deep to cut varies by location. If a cancer is the size of a plum and on someone’s back, then the Mohs surgeon’s first stage will be cut as a relatively thick layer. In contrast, if the skin cancer is on the edge of someone’s eyelid, then the Mohs surgeon will cut a very thin layer of tissue – often only a millimeter thick on each side of the tumor – in order to preserve as much healthy eyelid as possible. The details on the biopsy report influence the depth of cancer resection. Some basal cell carcinomas are char acterized as “superficial type.” These cancers usually grow on the surface like moss on a tree, and deep cutting is often unnecessary. For other tumors, the pathologist may say the “deep margin” is involved. This means that the cancer went to the bottom of the biopsy. The Mohs surgeon cuts deeper on the first layer to ensure a level below the biopsy’s depth.Sometimes, the surgeon can even feel the likely thickness of a cancer with (glove-covered) bare hands. Some tumors feel like a thick disk that is growing wide, not deep. Others feel like icebergs with abundant tumor lurking below.One of the most important factors affecting second and subsequent layers is the amount of cancer seen under the microscope. If a tiny spot of cancer is left, then only a small amount of addi tional tissue removal may be necessary. In other cases, strands of cancer are dif fusely visible under the microscope, and the surgeon knows that a substantial next cut is necessary to make progress. Sometimes, when patients ask me how I know how deep to cut, I think that what they are asking is not what was discussed above but rather how I know how deep not to cut. How does the doctor know where the critical nerves or arteries are? The answer to that ques tion is all the years of training focused on anatomy and experience gained dur ing residency, fellowship and in practice. Mohs surgeons are expected to learn what layers of tissue are present in dif ferent locations and where the “danger zones” of critical nerves or blood vessels are. When a Mohs surgeon anticipates that an important structure is at risk, the Mohs surgeon will generally discuss this with the patient in advance of cut ting and give the patient the opportu nity to weigh the risks and benefits of proceeding.Wehope that this article was helpful and interesting. But a word of caution: please remember that this discussion of Mohs surgery is not exhaustive. Do not try this at home!
