JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Police recently responded to two incidents involving stolen license plates.

A Brumbelow Road man contacted police Feb. 27 around 3 p.m. when he realized the plate was missing from the black Toyota Tacoma he drives. The car was registered under his father’s name.

The driver said that he last saw the plate the day before and that it was likely stolen at his home or office.

Police also spoke to a Johns Creek woman Feb. 27 who said her plate never arrived in the mail. The tag office informed her the plate was mailed before December 7, 2018. Both plates were noted as stolen in the police database.

Car owner reports thief stole gun from vehicle

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A Johns Creek man contacted police Feb. 26 after he realized his handgun was missing from his vehicle.

The owner told officers he believes the incident happened around Feb. 17 at his Oxford Mill Circle home because someone had rummaged through his girlfriend’s car at that time.

He said there was no forced entry on his Nissan Altima. His handgun is a 9mm blue steel Smith and Wesson, estimated to be worth $450.

Woman falls victim to possible scammer JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Police are investigating an incident in which a woman might have lost $2,600 to a scammer.

The victim told police she was contacted by phone by someone claiming to be “Thomas Baits” working for “Express

Mediation Services.” The caller said the woman had a credit card bill exceeding $6,000. The caller knew the victim’s name, address and social security number, she said. She paid $2,591 to the caller, but attempted to cancel the payment once she realized the call was a scam.

Email scam takes woman for $1,000 in gift cards JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Police are investigating an incident in which a woman lost $1,000 to a scammer impersonating her boss.

The woman contacted police March 1 to report that around 7:30 that morning she received an email purported to be from her boss, with the correct name but a different address.

The email directed her to purchase ten $100 Google Play gift cards for a client.

The victim purchased the cards at Target, sent the codes to the scammer and then contacted her boss, who told her he never sent the email.

Hundreds turn out to learn more on Ga. 400 express lanes

NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Roswell and Alpharetta residents had a chance recently to learn more and share their views on the latest plans for the state’s $1.6 billion managed lane project on Ga. 400.

The Georgia DOT plans to add two express lanes running in each direction along the thoroughfare from I-285 north 16 miles to McFarland Parkway in Forsyth County. The project is one of 11 initial Major Mobility Investment Programs designed to reduce traffic congestion along major corridors.

MARTA is also tying into the Ga. 400 project to provide rapid transit bus

service up and down the corridor to the North Springs rail station in Sandy Springs.

Cities along the route are weighing in on where access points to the express lanes and where bus stations will be placed.

Hundreds of residents attended two open house sessions Feb. 28 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Alpharetta and March 7 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Atlanta in Roswell. Current plans call for two access points to the express lanes in the Alpharetta and Roswell area. Only one of the locations in Alpharetta will provide direct ramp access to and from the express lanes. That interchange, called Webb+, is a special overpass designed for express lane vehicles only and will be located just north of Webb Bridge Road.

The second Alpharetta access point will provide vehicles already on Ga. 400 to cross into the express lanes. That access point is planned just south of Haynes Bridge Road.

Tim Matthews, program manager for GDOT’s Major Mobility Investment Program, said the lane project itself will require some modifications to existing structures along the route: Widening the bridge over Mansell Road at Ga. 400 and partial reconstruction of ramps.

Haynes Bridge Road bridge over Ga. 400 will require partial ramp reconstruction.

Kimball Bridge Road over Ga. 400 bridge replacement will probably be necessary to accommodate a bus station

House design bills fail in Georgia Legislature

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA, Ga. — A state bill that would prevent municipal and county governments from regulating residential building design failed to pass either chamber of the Georgia Legislature.

Neither House Bill 302 nor Senate Bill 172 made it to a floor vote by March 7, or “crossover day,” when bills generally must pass through one chamber to move forward this year.

The bills would have prohibited local governments from adopting or enforcing ordinances or regulations relating to building designs, such as color, material, roof shape or window or door style, on one or two-family dwellings.

The bill includes a few exceptions, such as homes located within a historic district. It would also allow the regulation of home design through private covenants, such as home owners associations.

Proponents of the bill argued homeowners should have the freedom to design their home to their style, while opponents said it took power away from cities and could destroy the aesthetics of neighborhoods.

“This is a very dangerous precedent that they’re setting to home rule and to our ability to control the look and feel of our community,” Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker said.

Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton and Forsyth County passed resolutions opposing the bill. The Georgia Municipal Association, a group that lobbies on behalf of Georgia’s cities, also opposed the bill.

“It could be disastrous, I think in my mind, if this does pass,” Milton Councilman Matt Kunz said. “Because right

Neither House Bill 302 nor Senate Bill 172 made it to a floor vote by March 7, or “crossover day,” when bills generally must pass through one chamber to move forward this year now, the government that governs local governs best. I think that we do a pretty could job here in Milton and I would hate to see that go away.”

Alpharetta Councilman Donald Mitchell said if these bills pass, anyone could build a house constructed of cheap materials right next to homes with brick or stone.

He issued a message to the Legislature: “Pay attention to your citizens and do what we want instead of what you’re getting paid from the lobbyists to do.”

Rep. Chuck Martin, a Republican who represents parts of Alpharetta and Johns Creek, serves on the House Rules committee, where the legislation was stalled. He said he was adamantly opposed to the bill.

“HB 302 seeks to preempt local zoning ordinances that have been adopted by local governments in House District 49 and around the state, ordinances that protect our neighborhood home values,” Martin said. “I have vocally expressed that opposition in my questioning of the author of HB 302 in the House Rules Committee on Feb. 27 and will continue my opposition there, and as needed on the House Floor.”

Fulton County considers ban on synthetic marijuana, opioids

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY — The Fulton County Commissioners is considering an ordinance that would prohibit the sale, manufacture and distribution of certain synthetic drugs.

Commissioners discussed the ordinance and approved a first read at their March 6 meeting.

Proposed by Commissioner Bob Ellis, the ordinance bans synthetic cannabinoids, opioids and cathinone within unincorporated Fulton County and county parks. The ordinance was modeled after a similar measure under consideration in Milton.

“Synthetic cannabis, cannabis-related items and opioid-related items are sold primarily in convenience stores,” Ellis said. “The state has tried to shut a lot of these things down, and they get around state laws that have been established by doing a reformulation of the actual synthetic.”

As a local ordinance, this new rule would not carry the full weight of a state law, Ellis said, but could encourage other local governments to crack down on these drugs, which have led to deaths.

Commissioner Natalie Hall said she fully supported the ordinance. Commissioner Liz Hausmann said she supported the measure in theory, but had questions about the wording. Commissioner Marvin Arrington said he would like to

The Fulton County Board of Commissioners discusses a ban of synthetic marijuana and opioids March 6. hear from law enforcement and health experts before voting.

In other action at the meeting, a motion by Ellis to appoint Alpharetta attorney Ken Zdrok to the Board of Assessors failed for the second time. The appointment would be to replace real estate developer Salma Ahmed upon the completion of her four-year term in July.

“He has a pretty deep experience with appraisal, valuation, appeals, compliance audits, really running the full gambit,” Ellis said. “I think he would bring a tremendous amount of depth to the Board of Assessors, which as we all know has had its challenges over the past couple of years.”

Ellis read endorsements of Zdrok from Roswell Mayor Lori Henry, Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin and Mountain

The state had earlier suggested an access point at the new Big Creek Parkway bridge, but the city rejected that idea.

“We believe the express lanes will improve mobility and decrease congestion along the Ga. 400 corridor,” Matthews

Park Mayor Jim Still.

Chairman Robb Pitts said the motion was premature and that Ahmed was the most experienced person on the Board of Assessors. Ellis said he brought the motion forward early because appointees must complete a state certification class, which is offered infrequently, before they can serve.

The vote was split along partisan lines, with Ellis, Hausmann and Commissioner Lee Morris supporting Zdrok’s appointment. The appointment will come before the board again.

Also March 6, the commission amended its funding for community service programs to add $75,000 for the Lionheart School in Alpharetta, which serves children with autism, and $75,000 for the Summit Counseling

Center’s North Fulton Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Initiative.

At its Feb. 20 meeting the commission approved spending $6 million on 82 nonprofit community service programs. The Lionheart School and Summit Counseling initially did not make the cut. Hausmann pointed out at that time that none of the funded programs were targeted toward autism or to suicide prevention.

The Department of Community Development acknowledged it needed to change its evaluation process to give more consideration to programs that filled service gaps. Finding extra money in its operation budget, the department recommended allocating $75,000 each to Lionheart and Summit.

said. “Anywhere we’re adding access points to the express lanes in the cities, we’ll study the impact to traffic to those side roads that we’re tying into, and that will help us make that final decision on whether access is a good idea there. But in general, for the corridor itself, we believe that’s the right solution for mitigation of congestion on this corridor.”

Representatives from MARTA were also on hand to discuss their plans along the route. The transit agency intends to operate a fleet of express buses with stops at four locations. Funding for the bus-only access points comes through a $100 million state grant announced last summer. MARTA says it will commit $8 million each year to maintain the buses and stations.

Traci Roberson, project planner for MARTA, said the agency is in the environmental and conception phase of its Ga. 400 service. She also said the bus project remains underfunded to the tune of between $45 million-$129 million.

That additional funding, she said, could come from local or state sources or from a federal transit grant.

When operational, the service is

designed to provide passengers with station stops every 10 minutes, Roberson said.

Residents can give public comment on the project until Wednesday, March 27 using these methods: • Online at dot.ga.gov/DS/GEL/SR400 • Online at dot.ga.gov/PS/Public/PublicOutreach • Mail in a comment card to Eric Duff, Georgia Department of Transportation, 600 West Peachtree St. NW, 16th floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30308 Hardcopies of the project plans and displays used at the open houses are also available on the Alpharetta city website, alpharetta .ga.us/, or in Roswell through Rob Dell-Ross, engineering design manager with the Roswell Transportation Department, 770-5946420.

So far, Matthews said, the department has been pleasantly surprised about the amount of support they’ve seen from the public about this project.

There will be another round of public information meetings next year after the department has progressed further into the project, Matthews said.

Johns Creek city official retires after four years JOHNS CREEK , Ga. — The head of the Community Development Department, which oversees land development, zoning and permitting, will soon be leaving the city and retiring.

Sharon Ebert said she intends to retire, ending a 25-year career in architecture, planning and development. Assistant City Manager Kimberly Greer will serve as interim director until a replacement can be found.

In her four-year tenure, Ebert oversaw the adoption of a new Comprehensive Plan and managed all department services, including stormwater management.

“Sharon was diligent and exhaustive in her efforts, creating a professional environment built on service, success, and results,” City Manager Warren Hutmacher said. “Her dedication and attentive oversight motivated staff to serve with passion and a customer focus which both the residential and business communities recognized and appreciated.”

Mayor Mike Bodker thanked Ebert for her expertise.

Teacher internship program shows promise in Fulton Schools

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com An innovative program to recruit and retain new teachers in Fulton County Schools is proving successful based on first-year results and could help the district meet its annual hiring goals.

The Fulton First Step program works with area colleges to place education majors in one-year paid internships in schools across district with the promise of a fulltime offer at the end of a successful year. “[The program] is a recruitment and retention strategy by building key relationships early,” said Marsha Francis, Ph.D., program manager for Fulton First Step. “Our interns are reporting back they are [becoming familiar] with the culture of our district, treated as professionals, and feeling connected to it.”

This year, 45 interns were placed in schools throughout the district. There, they work alongside mentor teachers and are getting hands-on experiences that will serve them well as fulltime teachers.

The program expects to expand to 75 interns next year with the goal of 100 interns each subsequent year.

The immersion into a school environment during an entire school year allows teachers a “clinical” experience beyond the standard student teaching experi-

ence, Francis said.

She noted the Fulton First Step program is the first of its kind in Georgia and in the Southeast, and other districts as well as state education officials are taking notice.

The program began two years ago with early conversations among school leaders to gauge interest in placing yearlong interns in their schools.

“We made sure the presence of ‘cooperating’ teachers in each school was strong,” said Francis, noting these mentor teachers were a critical piece to the success of the interns.

The next layer was getting a $3,000 stipend for the interns approved by the Fulton School Board, recognizing this would add to the professionalism of the program. The stipend is dependent upon a favorable evaluation at each of six “checkpoints” throughout the year by the intern’s mentor. The goal, said Francis, is the continued development of critical skills needed to become an effective teacher.

The final hurdle for Fulton First Step was changing the mindset of colleges to support an internship program that would adjust the student’s coursework for a year, and without delaying graduation.

“But I came from a higher education [background] so I figured out what needed to be done and how to dream big,” said Francis, who previously taught

at Spellman College.

This year, participating schools include Clark Atlanta University, Georgia State University, Kennesaw State University, Spellman College and the University of West Georgia. Conversations are underway to expand the number of institutions participating to broaden the scope of the program.

Francis noted the goal is 80 percent of the interns accept a contract with Fulton Schools to begin fulltime teaching the following school year, preferably in the school they interned at. That pipeline would supply about 20 percent of the district’s needs each year. More importantly, the teachers would come into a school better prepared for their first year.

“First Step is a staffing solution — we want [our interns] to start their career

with us and stay,” Francis said. “[The program] identifies teachers before they enter the labor market with the expectation they will choose to remain with Fulton Schools at the end of their internship.”

The metro Atlanta area is home to 17 public school systems and nearly 50 private schools — all recruiting from the dwindling pool of qualified teachers. This school year alone Fulton Schools hired 500 new teachers to fill openings.

Francis said attracting top teachers is not based on salary alone, but “culture building” to make them feel a part of something positive. Under Fulton First Step, interns are provided with all the tools and resources they need, such as laptops and school-based emails, and even Fulton Schools-branded clothing to make them feel a part of the district.

Wedding Expo brings together vendors, wedding planners

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Johns Creek Convention and Visitors Bureau connected brides and grooms-to-be with more than 30 vendors at its second annual Wedding Expo.

With around 450 attendees, the free event gave wedding planners an opportunity to meet with venues, caterers, photographers, beauticians and more to help them plan for the big day.

“Our goal is for a couple to leave the expo inspired to host their wedding at a venue in the city and have all the details planned for their special day,” CVB Executive Director Shelby Marzen said.

By showcasing what Johns Creek has to offer for weddings and special events, the CVB hopes to drive more visitor spending and weekend overnight stays.

“While Johns Creek’s three hotels are bustling with a majority of business travelers on weekdays,” Marzen said, “special events are a generator of weekend visitors and fill that need for our hotels. Weddings not only drive visitor spending at hotels, but visitors are also spending money locally at restaurants, businesses and on transportation during their stay.”

The expo was spread out over four rooms of St Ives Country Club, one of the wedding venues in the city.

Deputy district attorney speaks at chamber event

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Johns Creek Chamber of Commerce’s business workshop Chicks in Charge featured local women leaders in business and law.

Held March 4 at Emory Johns Creek Hospital, this was the second iteration of Chicks and Charge, an all-day event the chamber hopes to make a staple of its workshop offerings.

Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Cara Convery, who works in the Guns and Gangs Division of the office, spoke about her work on high profile cases like the shooting of Darius Bottoms, nephew of Atlanta’s mayor; the prosecution of Tex McIver and the murder of Alpharettan Kadaius Medlock.

Other speakers were Joyce Bone, founder of EarthCare and author of “Millionaire Mom;” Hope Knosher, founder of Healthy Living with Hope and Dr. Michele Fleming, a psychologist and business coach.

Convery gave insight into preparing for a major criminal case, including gathering evidence, crafting a narrative, dealing with media attention and selecting the right jury.

“I think some of my most successful jurors, the ones that deal with it the best, manage it the best, have come in and

really just compartmentalized,” Convery said. “This is my job. It’s OK to feel like it’s hard or emotional, but I’m here to do a job, to see if the state has met its burden beyond reasonable doubt.”

She also talked about the growing prevalence of digital evidence in courts, such as cell phone records, GPS tracking, security camera footage and 3D renderings, saying juries have come to expect this kind of evidence.

“Any of these cases I’ve talked to you about, I’ve never felt joy when I convicted anyone,” she said. “Just a sense of peace, and hopefully give families and friends some sense of closure by a verdict that’s what the evidence dictates.”

Hope Knosher told attendees about her journey dealing with chronic illness, infertility and breast cancer. She spoke about the healing power of yoga for her, and led the group through stretches, breathing exercises and positive mindset mantras.

“The mind, what we think, biochemically changes every cell in our body, every single one,” Knosher said.

Michele Fleming spoke about her career first in international marketing before becoming a psychologist. Her talk centered on handling difficult conversations, and the difference between men and women in their approach to conflict.

Jackson Healthcare unveils $100 million expansion Taking my act on the air

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Jackson Healthcare, a family of highly-specialized healthcare staffing, search and technology companies, officially opened its new, $100 million campus expansion on March 8 to accommodate its growth.

Hundreds of Jackson Healthcare associates, along with several state legislators and city leaders, flocked to 2655 Northwinds Parkway to celebrate the new 267,000 square-foot office tower and 39,000 square-foot associate amenities center.

“This is one of the largest corporate campus expansions in Georgia’s history,” said Jackson Healthcare President Shane Jackson. “This is one of the most unique corporate campuses anywhere. It really took a team of incredibly talented and hardworking people to pull off something this grand, this beautiful and this complex…

“Every inch of our expanded campus was designed with our associates in mind.”

The new campus features innovative work and collaboration areas, and new technologies and state-of the-art amenities to foster communication, collaboration, a sense of belonging, and to enhance well-being, Jackson said.

The campus is styled after an Italian piazza, complete with a fountain and a 1,385-car parking deck designed to resemble the buildings along the Piazza del Campo in Siena.

The centerpiece of the campus is a 3-story amenities building, inspired by the Roman Colosseum. It houses a fitness and wellness center, an indoor pool, spray-tanning studio, and mas-

The company expects to add a salon with a blow dry bar and nail services in the future.

“We are very proud to be in Alpharetta, Georgia,” Shane Jackson said. “It’s a great place to work, I think it’s a great place to live, personally, and the city’s been a great partner for us in really being flexible with some of the unique things we’re doing up here.: The new campus is expected to accommodate 1,400 new associates and is dedicated to all Jackson Healthcare associates, past, present and future, said Chairman and CEO of Jackson Healthcare Richard L. Jackson.

“Today is the first chapter of building a long-term legacy that people will benefit from for years to come,” he said.

The buildings on the existing campus are undergoing several renovations, including new workspaces, an

Following the advice of a few folks I trust, we have decided to take this weekly news article to the next level.

Starting a week ago, we will be recording a monthly podcast on all things economic Geoff smith development here in Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com the metro area.

When I started writing this column six years ago, it was simply a way to try to establish some presence and credibility as a mortgage banker. I was climbing out of a deep, dark hole that was created by the explosion of the 2008 economic collapse and I needed to get out in front of more people.

I knew other mortgage lenders who sent out weekly newsletters. I’d seen them. They were corny and filled with gobs of information about interest rates – something I’ve learned very few people outside of the real estate industry care a whole lot about. I thought I’d do something different. Using my skills earned as a newspaper reporter years ago, I started writing about issues that people seem to actually enjoy reading about.

It has morphed into where I write about a wide variety of topics, but has mostly gravitated around the topic of economic development in Metro Atlanta.

The newsletter list has expanded to the point where it now goes out weekly to more than 3,500 subscribers via email, and is printed in the Herald newspapers that are distributed throughout

Podcast: Continued from Page 12 North Fulton and Forsyth Counties.

Articles have been published at the Atlanta Business Chronical as well as several other annual and monthly magazines throughout North Fulton and Forsyth. I always get e-mails from readers each week and it’s fun to see the feedback.

There are articles where I spend hours researching data, putting together charts and talking to experts.

But I’ve found over the years that the articles where I’m on a deadline and I quickly write on a random topic — like the one I did years ago about Duck Donuts in Duck, N.C. — are the ones I get the most responses on.

It has been fun and a great outlet for me. I work hard to make sure the information is accurate and that we celebrate how great this city of Atlanta and all of its suburbs have become. I’ve been to other major metropolitan cities and have talked to high-level politicians and economic development people, and they all point to Atlanta and Georgia

as something they one day strive to be more like. It is a great time to be living here.

I was approached a couple months ago about turning this newsletter into a podcast. The more I thought about it, the more interesting the idea became. I started to think of the kinds of people I would have on my own show and made a list. Then to my surprise, many on that list agreed to come on my show, which will be recorded in the studios of North Fulton Business RadioX. We aired our first podcast two weeks ago. I was lucky enough to have Al Nash, CEO of the Development Authority of Fulton County on the show. Among other things, he gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how officials throughout the state and in the metro area worked together to bring the Mercedes-Benz North American headquarters to Sandy Springs. That was a huge win for our city, and it was fascinating to hear how that was done, and to discuss the “halo” effect from that relocation, and the economic development that is going on throughout Sandy Springs because of it.

I’m excited about our next few shows where I intend to have on high-

Several companies helped build the new campus, including Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio, LLC Architecture and Interior Design, Choate Construction and CA South.

Shane Jackson ended the ceremony by reminding everyone that the new buildings and amenities will ultimately help Jackson Healthcare fulfill its mission of service to others.

“True power is best shown by understanding and serving the needs of others,” he said. “Any other manifestation of power and influence will be lost. But what can be imparted on others through service will last. Today, we recognize that as impressive as these structures are, they will ultimately crumble and fade. So, we view these buildings as they are rightly to be seen: as tools to be used in the service of others.”

Teeth in a day

By Ushma Patel, D.M.D Center For Advanced Dentistry Every now and then a revolution comes about that changes the way something works. It might only be a minor tweak to an existing solution, or the improvement might come in the quality and accessibility that is provided. The “Teeth In A Day” procedure utilizing dental implants is a revolutionary procedure in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. They allow you to walk away with a new set of high quality replacement teeth in just 1 day!

Dr. Patel has received extensive training in this procedure and offers this option to patients needing to have missing teeth replaced with implants.

Dr. Patel’s team can remove hopeless teeth and place the implants and teeth in a single visit! You won’t have to endure 6 months of having spaces or missing teeth.

What Is Teeth A Day? Teeth in A Day is a procedure where Dr. Patel and her team are able to rebuild peoples mouths using dental implants and natural looking replacement teeth. Dental implants are the most effective way to replace broken or missing teeth because they are placed into to your own bone and are the closest thing to what you were born with. The implants function like the roots of a tooth and provide a stable base for attaching durable and naturallooking crowns. Traditional dental implant methods require a healing period between placing the implant and attaching the crown. The Teeth in A Day procedure is unique because temporary, fully-functional teeth can be placed on the same day that you receive dental implants. These temporary teeth remain in place until your

Would you like legs that can stand up to your summer activities and look good while doing so?

By Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta After months of hibernating under layers of clothing (and umbrellas!) people are usually all too excited to speed outdoors at the first Dr. Taylor glimpse of warmth and sun. This time of year, I have a lot of patients visit and ask how to prepare their legs for the summer.

Usually, patients want to eliminate the aching heavy tired legs brought on by varicose veins, or they want to eliminate cosmetically bothersome spider veins.

Patients always ask how quickly these goals can be achieved. Usually, the answer is that an overnight transformation is not possible. To know the best plan for vein treatments and a realistic timeline to achieve your goals, it is useful to know a few things about venous disease, how legs heal, and about how insurance guidelines dictate medical treatments.

Many times, cosmetically bothersome spider veins are the tip of the iceberg.

Between 33% and 50% of the time, patients with spider veins have underlying varicose veins or venous insufficiency. If someone has varicose veins, leg discomfort, leg swelling or other signs of deeper vein disease, then medical treatments are often useful to ensure that cosmetic treatments are successful. If underlying vein disease is present, medically significant venous disease can be a driver of cosmetic spider vein development. Treating underlying varicose vein disease can help make cosmetic spider vein treatments more durable and successful.

If you are sure that you only have spider veins (little purple or red netted cluster of tiny veins) and have no signs

of any underlying vascular issues (tired, achy legs, swelling of the ankles, discoloration of the skin at the feet or ankles, restless leg syndrome, blue bulging veins etc.) then you can treat the spider veins with sclerotherapy or laser treatments – sometimes a combination of both.

Sclerotherapy is a method by which a vein expert injects a medical solution into a vein. The solution irritates the interior of the vein, which undergoes closure and becomes invisible as blood no longer can fill or pass through the vein.

Lasers, such as the 1064nm Nd:Yag used at Premier Dermatology are very effective at eliminating the spider veins that are too small to be injected with sclerotherapy.

How many treatments are needed and how long do you wait between treatments? With each of the treatments listed above, a reasonable goal is that 75% of the veins treated will resolve with each treatment. Therefore, more than one treatment or type of treatment may be needed. Patients should wait roughly 6 to 8 weeks between treatments. The tiniest spider veins can sometimes resolve in as little as 3-4 weeks but many require 6 weeks for resolution, and larger reticular and varicose veins can take several months to resolve. The larger the vein, the longer the resolution takes.

If you find yourself experiencing any of the symptoms of vein disease, then your path to a cure is quite different.

The first step is to visit a physician and discuss you vein disease. This is critical, as insurance companies require proof/ documentation of a vein complaint along with several specific questions answered about how your vein issues are affecting your quality of life. This first documentation of a vein complaint is Day 1.

Why kids under 21 should see a pediatric orthopedic specialist a problem in a child may actually be something they naturally outgrow.

Dr. Schmitz explains, “It takes a specialist to know how an injury and treatment today will affect your child's body when it's finished growing. The pediatric specialists at Children’s know what to look for, can anticipate problems and work to prevent them or address them.”

When your child's arm takes the brunt of a fall off a bike or her knee twists in a tumble on the soccer field, a doctor's visit is probably in your near future. When it comes to kids' musculoskeletal systems—the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments or nerves— where you take them matters. There are important reasons why you should choose a pediatric orthopedic specialist for their care.

1. Pediatric orthopedic specialists only treat kids and teens Pediatric orthopedic doctors have specialized training in treating kids for orthopedic conditions. Specialists who work at pediatric hospitals, like Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, only care for babies, kids and teens, so they know kids' bodies inside and out.

Michael Schmitz, MD, Chief of Orthopedics at Children’s says, “Since we’re pediatric focused, we have more experience caring for growing bones than an adult doctor may. We understand how to treat kids’ orthopedic issues for the best results now and as patients grow.’

At Children's, the pediatric orthopedic team: • Ranks No. 1 in orthopedic surgery volumes. More kids and teens see them

Legs: Continued from Page 20 In order to get your vein treatments covered by insurance, most insurance companies mandate that a patient try “conservative therapy” for 90 days before any medical vein procedure will be covered. Conservative therapy consists of over the counter pain medication, leg elevation, exercise and medical grade compression stockings. If it seems likely that vein disease is causing the patient’s symptoms, an ultrasound will be ordered. The ultrasound provides a map of the venous system and a diagram of which vein or veins are diseased and would benefit from treatment. Medical records and ultrasound report are sent to an insurance carrier for review and prior authorization is requested.

(Prior authorization is not a guarantee of coverage, and if you know a politician, please ask them to fix that!)

Often, a patient’s varicose veins can connect with one another. That means that treating one cluster of varicose veins can sometimes result in multiple adjacent varicose veins also going away. It is often in the patient’s best interest to space out treatments to minimize the number of treatments needed to achieve a cure.

So, as you can see, a patient who has never tried “conservative therapy” and

for orthopedic care than any pediatric hospital in the country.* • Is the only nationally recognized pediatric orthopedic program in the state.

• Is the highest ranked pediatric orthopedic program in the Southeast.

• Performs more spinal fusion surgeries than any other pediatric hospital in the country.* • Treats more broken bones than any other pediatric hospital in the country.* 2. Pediatric orthopedic specialists understand growing bones Kids aren't just small adults. Their bones are still growing, even as teenagers. Sometimes what may look like who has multiple varicose veins needing treatment may require 5 months or more to complete treatment given 1) a 90 day conservative therapy waiting period, 2) a prior authorization review, and 3) a month or two of spaced treatments.

Cosmetic treatments would then typically follow medical treatments if desired. This can all be greatly accelerated if a patient has already completed conservative therapy before their first consultation with their physician or if the patient is not going through insurance for treatment.

A final useful tip is that the spring and summer are still a great time for a first meeting with a vein specialist. Given the potentially lengthy timeline outlined above, a spring or summer appointment can help ensure that treatments are completed in the same calendar year. This helps eliminate the danger of having to reach a deductible more than once.

If you or a loved one has venous disease or spider veins, know that advanced, minimally invasive, safe and highly effective treatments are available. Seek out a vein specialist who is a member of the American College of Phlebology (ACP) and who has taken and passed the board exam of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine (ABVLM). Dr. Brent Taylor is a committed and caring vein specialist. Consider calling Dr. Taylor at Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta today.

3. Pediatric orthopedic specialists provide kid-focused care When you choose a pediatric orthopedic specialist, you're choosing someone who understands and treats kids' unique physical and emotional needs.

That means things like kid-sized and kid-friendly casts, braces, waiting areas, and communication.

At Children's, they provide kid-focused care, including: • Imaging that uses up to 50 percent lower doses of radiation than some adult providers • Innovative therapies that allow us to avoid overuse of prescription pain medications • Child life specialists who explain procedures and treatment so kids understand 4. Pediatric orthopedic specialists

work closely with other specialists Many orthopedic conditions kids deal with will affect other parts of the body.

Pediatric orthopedic specialists at Children’s collaborate with other pediatric specialists, sharing their expertise about treatments.

The orthopedic doctors and surgeons at Children’s are one of more than 70 specialties and programs. They lead many of the programs and help guide kids' entire journey of care.

We're here to help Children’s has the only nationally ranked pediatric orthopedics program in Georgia*—and with 14 Children’s Physician Group–Orthopedics and Sports Medicine locations, our pediatric orthopedic specialists are never far away.

Teeth: Continued from Page 18 custom, permanent teeth are ready to be placed. This allows you to experience instant, beautiful results from your dental implant procedure with little to no pain because the teeth are supported by the implants and are not rubbing on your gums.

Thanks to the stability that dental implants offer, you will be able to smile, talk, and eat with confidence. Implants also help to stabilize and maintain the surrounding bone, preventing future bone loss from occurring. Dental implants are a popular alternative to dentures, as dentures can be difficult to wear for most people and also because they contribute to bone loss in the jaw.

Am I a candidate for Teeth in a Day? A consultation with Dr. Patel is the best way to determine your candidacy for the Teeth in A Day procedure. She will conduct a comprehensive dental exam to evaluate if this procedure is right for your specific needs.

Generally speaking, you may be a good candidate for Teeth in A Day if you: • Have one or more damaged teeth.

• Want to see an immediate cosmetic and functional dental improvement.

• Have multiple missing teeth.

• Want results that can last a lifetime with proper care.

• Currently wearing a removable partial or complete denture.

• Do not grind your teeth excessively.

• Do not have medical conditions that may negatively affect bone healing.

• Want an alternative to dentures or bridgework.

Dental health and teeth grinding (Bruxism)

By Dr. David Remaley Roswell Dental Care Most people probably grind and clench their teeth from time to time. Occasional teeth grinding, medically called bruxism, does not usually cause harm, Dr. REMALEY but when teeth grinding occurs on a regular basis the teeth can be damaged and other oral health complications can arise.

Why do people grind their teeth?

Although teeth grinding can be caused by stress and anxiety, it often occurs during sleep and is more likely caused by an abnormal bite or missing or crooked teeth. It can also be caused by a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea.

How do I find out if I grind my teeth?

Because grinding often occurs during sleep, most people are unaware that they grind their teeth. However, a dull, constant headache or sore jaw when you wake up is a telltale symptom of bruxism. Many times people learn that they grind their teeth by their loved one who hears the grinding at night.

If you suspect you may be grinding your teeth, talk to your dentist. He or she can examine your mouth and jaw for signs of bruxism, such as jaw tenderness and excessive wear on your teeth.

Why Is Teeth Grinding Harmful?

In some cases, chronic teeth grinding can result in a fracturing, loosening, or loss of teeth. The chronic grinding may wear teeth down to stumps. When these events happen, bridges, crowns, root canals, implants, partial dentures, and even complete dentures may be needed.

Not only can severe grinding damage teeth and result in tooth loss, it can also affect your jaws, cause or worsen TMD/

TMJ, and even change the appearance of your face.

What can I do to stop grinding my teeth?

Your dentist can fit you with a mouth guard to protect your teeth from grinding during sleep.

If stress is causing you to grind your teeth, ask your doctor or dentist about options to reduce your stress. Attending stress counseling, starting an exercise program, seeing a physical therapist, or obtaining a prescription for muscle relaxants are among some of the options that may be offered.

If a sleeping disorder is causing the grinding, treating it may reduce or eliminate the grinding habit.

Visit Roswell Dental Care for a complete assessment of your oral health and to establish a plan to eliminate any further damage to your teeth.

Here’s how you can reduce your risk of diabetes

By Dr. Syed W. Rizvi Maintaining a healthy weight, eating healthy and physical activity is often associated with a healthy lifestyle. But these are also recommendations that will help ward off Type 2 diabetes.

According to the CDC, more than 29 million U.S. adults have diabetes. And of those affected, nearly 25 percent, or one in four, don’t even know they have diabetes.

If diabetes is left untreated, it can lead to complications such as kidney disease, lower limb amputations, adult-onset blindness and heart disease and stroke.

Additionally, 86 million U.S. adults have prediabetes and 90 percent are unaware.

Prediabetes is a condition where insulin produced in the body is no longer used effectively, leading to slightly elevated blood glucose levels. The risk of complications associated with diabetes is thought to begin in prediabetes.

When people with prediabetes participate in healthy lifestyle changes, they tend to reduce their chance of developing Type 2 diabetes by as much as 60 percent.

Healthy eating involves consuming nutritious food choices and appropriate-sized portions to improve your overall health.

Studies show that regular physical activity provides a variety health benefits and may prevent or delay prediabetes

and Type 2 diabetes. It’s recommended that physical activity is increased gradually with a moderate intensity activity such as walking. The recommended minimal physical activity is 30 minutes, five times a week.

A weight loss of as little as 7 percent of body weight may prevent or delay the development of prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.

The combination of healthy eating and increased physical activity will naturally promote a gradual weight loss to help prevent diabetes.

Healthy lifestyle goals will constantly evolve and change. It’s important to identify barriers that may potentially delay achievement of your goals.

Resources such as the YMCA, local gyms, weight loss programs, diabetes education programs and your health care professionals are available to navigate you towards achievement of your long term goals.

Dr. Syed W. Rizvi brings years of experience providing preventive, acute and chronic illness care to adult and adolescent patients. Newtown Medical Associates is located at the Northside/Alpharetta Medical Campus, 3400 Old Milton Parkway, Building A, in Alpharetta.

Founded in 1950 by a godly family in the timber business in east central Mississippi, LFR provides 12 camps each summer for church groups and individual campers. Lake Forest is interdenominational and provides an experience of fun and Christ-focused inspiration that is absolutely life-changing. There are camps for children (ages 7-12), for students (ages 11-18), and also a mission week July 13-20 that is an evangelistic & friendship building outreach to the children and youth of Noxubee County, MS. LFR takes “no child left behind” to a whole new level!
