63-year-old bodybuilder eyes Mr. Olympia title Milton resident shares love for healthy living
Local governments await federal funds for major upgrades to transportation

MILTON, Ga. — In the 1970s when Terrell Harmon was 15 years old living in Harlem, New York, he participated in a medical study to determine the cause of his asthma attacks. At 5 feet 11 inches and 115 pounds, he sat reading muscle magazines, waiting for the doctors to call his name. Later, he said to himself, “I could be like that.” Harmon accomplished his goal in 1985 after winning Mr. Florida. He was featured in “Muscular Development,” a magazine he read as a child. Since then, he’s participated in numerous other shows. At 63 years old, he was named a Masterclass Over 50 and Overall Masters winner in the Ben Weider Natural Pro/Am show in Alexandria, Virginia, last month. He also placed fourth in the open light heavyweight division. The win earned him an International Federation of BodyBuilders pro card that allows him to compete in an IFBB show and qualify for the 2022 Olympia – the biggest bodybuilding show in the world, held annually in Las Vegas. Harmon said earning a pro card alone was a difficult feat. At the Ben Weider Natural Pro/Am
show, geared toward natural athletes from all over the world, Harmon was the oldest competitor and stood side by side men 30 years his junior, and still placed higher than many of them. But, he said, he truly has his work cut out for him as he tries to compete in the Olympia as a natural athlete. He said
it’s going to take “hope and a prayer.” “The one thing about bodybuilding is you don’t know who’s going to show up,” Harmon said. “All you can do is get in the best shape you can get and just hope for the best. … But it feels
ROSWELL, Ga. — A federal infrastructure bill passed last month will deliver about $10 billion in funding to Georgia for road repair, bridge construction and expanded internet access. President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) on Nov. 15 after navigating Congress with bipartisan support. The act introduces funding for water pipe repairs and mass transit, issues relegated to local governments. While some initial details are available, cities in North Fulton continue reviewing how funds can be sought and implemented. Roswell government is considering how to use funds from a different infrastructure bill — the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) — which was signed by President Biden in March of this year. The ARPA allotted $1.9 trillion for COVID-19 vaccinations, unemployment benefit extension and an increase in the child tax credit. Georgia cities received a total of $1.4 billion in funding. Roswell received $11.4 million

ROSWELL, Ga. — A 19-year-old man is facing charges including homicide by vehicle in the first degree following a crash Sept. 12 that left one man dead and injured another. Carlos Sierra-Gonzalez, of Lawrenceville, came forward nearly two months after a group of vehicles were allegedly laying drags at the intersection of Holcomb Bridge Road and Ga. 400, resulting in a police chase through Roswell that was called off 10 seconds before the fatal crash. Meanwhile, the patrol officer who initiated the chase, Robert Hulon, is back on duty. A month-long investigation conducted by the Roswell Police Department determined there was not enough evidence to clearly prove the pursuit was the cause of the accident. According to the Georgia State Patrol, Hulon tried to conduct a traffic stop at around 12:05 a.m. Sept. 12, when a black Infiniti G37 sped away and began to drive recklessly on the wrong side of the road. At one point, the vehicle reached speeds up to 120 mph. As it approached Holcomb Bridge and Calibre Creek Parkway, Sgt. Robert Marshall called off the pursuit. The report

states the vehicle continued down the road at a high rate of speed until it hit a curb. The driver then overcorrected, the report states, which caused the vehicle to rotate counterclockwise across all lanes and to the north side of Holcomb Bridge and Richwood Circle. After overturning an unknown number of times and knocking over trees and bushes, the Infiniti eventually hit a structural brick column and two people were ejected from the vehicle. Two others reportedly ran from the scene. Crash victim dies of injuries Dahian Silberio-Peña, 19, and Kimberly Reyes, 18, were transported to Wellstar North Fulton Hospital. Silberio-Peña later died. Reyes suffered a broken left forearm. Sierra-Gonzalez was also charged with fleeing and attempting to elude a police officer, hit and run resulting in serious injury or death, driving in a circular or zig-zag course, reckless driving, speeding and two counts of serious injury by vehicle. He is being held at the Fulton County Jail without bond. His next hearing is slated for Jan. 10. The Roswell Office of Professional Standards began investigating allegations Hulon had initiated the pursuit on traffic charges the same day as the incident, and
he was placed on paid leave. Hulon had been with the Roswell Police Department for one year and had no prior complaints. He told Sgt. Thomas Robinson during a 23-minute interview Sept. 29 he was aware of the department’s pursuit policy at the time of the accident, but that he had initiated the pursuit anyway because the cars had already been racing prior to the chase and he felt they were a “danger” to the public. According to the department’s policy, “no pursuit shall be initiated on the basis of traffic charges” unless the vehicle is being operated in a way that endangers public safety prior to the pursuit. It also acknowledges that officers must be given an opportunity to differentiate between a traffic violator, who has failed to yield, and the inception of a vehicle pursuit. It states the decision rests with the individual officer, who must carefully consider all factors, including the seriousness of the offense, all possible consequences and the safety of citizens. Police receive racing complaints On the night of the accident, the investigation states, an unnamed sergeant in-

Gainesville man arrested for his role in Jan. 6 riots CUMMING, Ga. — Cumming police arrested a man who federal officials say participated in riots at the U.S. Capitol this year. Ronald Loehrke, 30, of Gainesville was charged with obstruction of law enforcement, unlawful entry and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, according to federal court documents released Dec. 3. Federal officials say Loehrke was one of the first to breach barricades on the west side of the Capitol and that he then “participated in dismantling and moving police barricades” on the building’s east side.
The criminal complaint alleges Loehrke and James Haffner, 53, of Rapid City, South Dakota, went on to climb the stairs of the Capitol before Haffner “sprayed an aerosol substance at U.S. Capitol Police officers who were trying to guard the doors.” Haffner faces the same charges as Loerhke, as well as assaulting a police officer. According to the charging documents, camera footage shows Loerhke helping other rioters breach barricades outside the Capitol and later depicts him inside a Senate office and confronting police officers in the building. It also references financial records and travel documents that allegedly
support Loehrke’s presence at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Loehrke remains free pending further proceedings. Nearly 700 people in all 50 states now face charges stemming from Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol, including more than 200 arrested for assaulting or impeding police officers. According to the FBI, the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with tips is encouraged to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit tips.fbi.gov. — Carl Appen

Outgoing Milton City Council Members share bittersweet moment By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — Holding back tears, council members Joe Longoria and Laura Bentley thanked their fellow council members for working with them to help shape Milton. Bentley, Longoria and Mayor Joe Lockwood all attended their last meeting on the City Council Dec. 20, where they were honored with a proclamation recognizing them for their service. Longoria, who has been a Milton resident since 1998, said he was humbled to have served on the City Council. He was first elected to the District 3/Post 1 City Council seat in 2009 and again in 2013 and 2017. Due to term limits he was unable to run in 2021 and will be replaced by Councilman-elect Jan Charles Jacobus. “Elected officials come and go, but the Council and the city are permanent,” Longoria said. “The job of a council member is to contribute to building something that is never finished and will always need work. … I leave with the knowledge that our city is thriving and in the hands of individuals that share a common desire to see our progress continue.” His proclamation recognized his “long and steady leadership,” including serving as a troop leader for the Boy Scouts of America and numerous boards and committees for the Boy Scouts within the Atlanta Area Council. It also stated Longoria served as treasurer for the Crooked Creek Homeowner’s Association and chaired its finance committee from 2006 to 2009. Lockwood said that over the years Longoria was consistently engaged, inquisitive and intent on getting answers to help do what was best for Milton citizens. Longoria said one of the most important elements of successful governments is the diversity of ideas, thoughts, concerns and opinions. “In my 12 years, I’ve been impressed by our Council and your willingness to share that level of diversity on a regular basis and to both speak out and listen to alternative ideas and concerns,” he said.
Bentley was elected to the District 2/Post 1 City Council seat in 2018, but Lockwood said she has held other leadership roles for 15 years, such as on the Cambridge High School Veterinary Science Board and as president of the Georgia Hunter Jumper Association. He said Bentley also assisted the Planning Commission with the preservation of large parcel farm properties and worked closely with gravel road residents to protect 3-acre minimums. The proclamation recognized her as a founding member of the Milton Equestrian Committee, where she served as the group’s inaugural chairperson. Bentley thanked the council members for supporting her in her run for City Council but especially when she decided not to run, she said. “I’m so humbled by this moment,” Bentley said. “I wanted to serve because Milton is a treasure and when we moved here, our family just embraced the lifestyle of farm life, and it became my passion and so my service here has been such an honor to represent the citizens and make a contribution in a small way to keep this place special.” One of her proudest moments, she said, was when the city introduced Suicide Awareness Month in September. Bentley asked that the city continue that legacy to further reduce the stigma surrounding suicide and spread awareness that it is preventable. “This council is special,” Bentley said. “We’ve had some tough things happen while we’ve been up here, but through it all we have maintained friendships and seen the city through and you all supported me during one of the most difficult times and I really, really appreciate that.” Bentley will be replaced by Councilwoman-elect Juliette Johnson. Mayor-elect Peyton Jamison also presented Lockwood with a proclamation. Lockwood served as the city’s only mayor since it was incorporated in 2006. He was honored at Milton’s 15th-anniversary celebration at City Hall Dec. 1. The new Milton City Council members will be sworn in at the next meeting Jan. 3.

Fulton superintendent gets extension, raise
By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Mike Looney continues to move closer to the top of the list of the most compensated school superintendents in Georgia. At a Nov. 9 work session, the Fulton County Board of Education unanimously extended Looney’s contract through 2024, including compensation changes, but did not disclose details of those changes until the board’s attorneys had a chance to review them. The Herald obtained a copy of the amended contract through an open records request late last month. The document states that Looney’s annual salary of $335,580 will increase by 2.5% on July 1, plus the percentage increase approved for the teacher salary schedule. Other amendments also allow the board to offer Looney a “discretionary bonus” following an annual evaluation and to make contributions to any tax-sheltered pension

plans it has established including his 403(b) and 401(a) plans equal to 12.5% of his annual base salary. This is the first time the school board has made changes to Looney’s initial contract since he was hired in 2019. However, district spokeswoman Anne Boatwright said Looney’s final salary amount has not been determined because the board has yet to approve a new budget for the next fiscal year. That process will not take place until early June. Looney was hired with a base salary of $329,000, plus the percentage increase approved for the teacher salary schedule and over $2,000 in monthly allowances to cover expenses and a vehicle. It also included a 10% contribution to his retirement plans. School Board President Julia Bernath was not immediately available for comment, but, at the Nov. 9 work session, she and other school board members highly praised Looney for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Alpharetta Elementary School Cafeteria Manager Vickye Monger takes a series of posters from her students expressing their appreciation for her. Monger is retiring after 30 years with the school.
Beloved Alpharetta lunch manager ‘Miss Vickye’ retires after 30 years By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Much has changed in the 30 years since Vickye Monger was hired to run the kitchen at Alpharetta Elementary School. Thousands of kids have gone through her lunch line, including the children and grandchildren of her former students, but her love for interacting with them remained throughout her career, which ended Friday, Dec. 17, when she left the kitchen for the last time. “It’s been a blessing,” Monger said. “... [The students] always made me feel like I was a part of their family. That was the best feeling. … When I don’t come back Jan. 3, I’m really going to miss the kids. They made the job worthwhile.” Alpharetta Elementary celebrated her retirement Dec. 15 by naming it Miss Vickye Day. During lunchtime, the students showered her with handmade letters thanking her for her friendship, and at the end of the day, Principal Cathy Crawford surprised her with a drive-by event. “You will always have a home here,” Crawford said. “We love you so much.” Teachers, staff, parents, and current and former students dropped by to bid her farewell. Others, shared messages of how she impacted them, saying that when former students reminisce about their time at Alpharetta Elementary, her name always comes up. “I’m always going to remember this,” Monger said. “Dec. 15, that is the day that I had here in Alpharetta. … It does not seem like time flew by that fast. It’s just amazing, and I’m so appreciative of
everything because I’m just me. I just worked in the cafeteria. You never think that you make an impression on the kids, but I guess in some kind of way we formed a bond.” For nearly three decades, Monger, 63, has served as the school’s cafeteria manager. She was responsible for everything from maintaining milk temperatures to managing the staff’s timesheets. In the past 20 years, she said proudly, her kitchen also earned perfect scores during the health inspections twice a year. She is both excited and sad about retiring. The funny thing, she said, is she never set out to work in a school. When she moved to Alpharetta from Memphis, Tennessee, 32 years ago, she simply decided she wanted to do something in addition to being a mom to her two children, who are now 41 and 37. Her mom suggested she apply as a cashier at a local school. From there, Monger worked at several schools in the area before settling on Alpharetta Elementary, and the more she worked in the kitchen, the more she wanted to do it. She said the kids kept the job exciting. “I remember the day I came in,” Monger said. “I was scared. I was like oh my gosh, now I have to do this, but I did it and then I implemented different things like having an annual cookout, which we have not been able to do for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.” Monger said the cookout was a fun way to get the school together. But, perhaps what she is most well-known for,

Joining Megan for a special episode of The Georgia Politics Podcast to discuss economic issues of the day is Bob Buschman, Associate Director of the Fiscal Research Center at Georgia State University. There is a lot of economic news lately involving topics like supply chain issues, the threat of inflation and the effect of President Biden’s legislative priorities on the national debt. Some of them are a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Some of them are not. On the show, Megan and Bob get into the nitty gritty to talk about exactly what causes these issues, how worried we should be, and what we can be done about it.

Bodybuilder:
spare a couple of hours for myself. … I had to make that personal investment for myself. I said what good is it for me to work for 36 years, retire and then die the next year?” Harmon jumped back into bodybuilding upon retiring, and when the gyms closed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he began to expand his home gym. He didn’t work out at a formal gym for an entire year. Instead, he used the time to earn his certification to become a personal trainer at Emery Fit in Milton, where he purposely works with elderly clients to help them reach their goals. He said he tries to instill in them the message that fitness is a lifelong event. The key, he said, is to have a long, healthy life. “You can have a long life, but if you’re sick, is that really living?” Harmon said. “… You don’t have to be like me. That’s the extreme, but just try to enjoy your family and allow them to enjoy you.” Harmon is done competing for the year. In November, he also placed second place in the Supernatural Bodybuilding and Fitness Grand Finale Pro Bodybuilding show as well as first place in the over-60 and third place open light heavyweight divisions in the National Physique Committee Lee Haney Games. Now, all his focus is directed toward his posing, diet and exercise as he sets out to become the next Mr. Olympia, a title currently held by Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay. Harmon said he does half an hour of fasted aerobics first thing in the morning and spends another two and a half hours at the gym after lunchtime. In the past, he’s managed to achieve between 4% and 5% body fat. His nieces and nephews think he’s “crazy,” but he said they love it when he wins.
Continued from Page 1 great to have a chance. This has been a dream of mine since I was 15.” While Harmon no longer suffers from asthma attacks, he continues to have a passion for healthy living and natural bodybuilding. Many of the men he competed with in the ’90s, he said, are either sick or have died from heart attacks caused by using performance-enhancing drugs. “I want to be an example that if you train natural, if you eat correctly, you can build a championshiplevel physique,” Harmon said. Harmon has been living in Milton with his wife of nearly 28 years, Stacey, since 2012, but his passion for bodybuilding started when he was still living in New York. As a teenager, he remembers carrying a 110-pound weight set in the subway with his buddy from Lower Manhattan to Harlem so they could get “bigger and stronger” for football. Later, while attending the University of South Carolina, he helped create the Carolina Bodybuilding Club, which is still active today. Harmon went on to work at State Farm for 36 years, 22 of them spent on the catastrophe team. He retired in 2018. Despite a 25-year hiatus from competing, Harmon was able to maintain his fitness. He said he would often work out at 5 a.m., then during lunchtime and again after work. “I look at things like this,” Harmon said. “You have 24 hours in a day, and I said if I was able to work 12 hours for somebody else, I can definitely

It’s just how the laws are worded that leaves them open to their own interpretation which sort of makes it harder for us ABHI BHARDWAJ, Heads Off Smoke Shop owner 8 | Milton Herald | December 23, 2021
Local businesses bear brunt of government regulation By SYDNEY DANGREMOND sydney@appenmedia.com METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — A slew of new local government regulations has slowed the boom of smoke and vape shops in Metro Atlanta. Citing public distaste and public health concerns, jurisdictions have implemented an array of measures to limit smoke and vape businesses within their boundaries. Local businesses have had to bear the brunt of regulations, slimming their profit margins. Heads Off Smoke Shop has been part of the Forsyth County community for nearly 10 years, but productspecific licenses, permits and regulations have been progressively hurting the small business’ bottom line, owner Abhi Bhardwaj said. While the process of acquiring these permits hasn’t been difficult, Bhardwaj said, “It is expensive because we have to get these licenses every year.” Forsyth County has specific business permits for vapor/e-cigarette businesses as well as those attempting to sell “non-traditional tobacco paraphernalia” which includes items like bongs. Non-traditional tobacco paraphernalia permits can range in costs based on the type of devices sold, but they can cost a minimum of $2,000 to a maximum of $3,000, not including application fees. In addition to fees, Bhardwaj says the county has not been clear about regulation and has kept the wording of ordinances intentionally vague. “It’s just how the laws are worded that leaves them open to their own interpretation which sort of makes it harder for us,” Bhardwaj said. The non-traditional tobacco paraphernalia permit is especially unclear, he said. “That one is entirely dependent on how they feel… I don’t know how many they’re giving out or if it’s just them trying to make money and stuff — which is fine — but we don’t get a whole lot of information about it,” Bhardwaj said. The County Commission banned the sale of products “that mimic the effects of marijuana and drugs” in an ordinance passed in February 2019.
Xhale City located along Medlock Bridge Road is one of 10 smoke and vape shops in Johns Creek. While the ordinance does not delineate specific products that are banned, Bhardwaj said that this summer delta-8 products were folded into the ordinance, which has further impacted his business. “By the time they banned delta-8 it had become from about a third to 40% of our business,” Bhardwaj said. “We’re still doing well, but we are missing out on a lot of business. We’re having to send people over to Dawson, Alpharetta, Johns Creek… I think it’s at least 10 customers a day that we’re redirecting.” Since this summer, Alpha Smoke in Alpharetta has seen an increase in customers seeking out delta-8, manager Gary Annast said. Alpharetta also has regulations in place to limit smoke/vape businesses within its borders, however the city primarily uses the zoning code, not permits like

Forsyth. While Annast said Alpha Smoke hasn’t had much red tape to cut through, personally, municipal restrictions have impacted his entrepreneurial ambitions. Annast is looking to open his own smoke/vape shop and said zoning restrictions have caused him to look outside of Alpharetta to start his business. Up to this point, neighboring Johns Creek has had minimal limitations on smoke/vape businesses within its boundaries and now hosts 10 such shops in the city. However, city staff are working to update the city’s zoning code to limit an influx in new smoke/vape businesses before the end of February. Existing businesses will likely be grandfathered into the code, but proposed updates could curtail new development in the city.

Lovastatin and Cholesterol for Disseminated Superficial Actinic Porokeratosis (DSAP): Volcanos and Dinosaurs Brought to you by – Dr. Brent Taylor, Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta If the first portion of this title does not grab you immediately, then you are not alone! Three out of five respondents polled for this article voted the first title “boring” (those respondents being my eight-year-old, six-year-old and threeyear-old). My wife’s vote was nicer with an encouraging “needs improvement.” My vote of “Riveting!” was deemed biased by the judges. If you like the second portion more, “Volcanoes and Dinosaurs,” then you like the title that my sons suggested and that, incidentally, has nothing to do with this article other than dinosaurs, like skin diseases and their medicines, often have long names that are hard to pronounce. But 2% lovastatin & cholesterol for disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis is an exciting topic. Allow me to explain: One of the most enjoyable aspects of dermatology is that most patients present with conditions that can often be either cured or treated very effectively. When a patient presents with a skin cancer, I can often cure it with a greater than 99% cure rate through a procedure called Mohs surgery, which involves removing a cancer in stages or layers and checking the edges under the microscope until the cancer has been completely removed. When a patient presents to clinic with dermatitis or eczema, we have a whole armamentarium of medicines including topical steroids, tacrolimus, crisaborole, dupilumab and other medicines. And when a patient presents with leg pain or
swelling due to vein disease, our clinic is proud to offer minimally invasive techniques such as endovenous laser ablation and foam sclerotherapy as well as phlebectomy and external laser treatments with great success. Our tremendous power to treat skin disease has not always been the case. Take, for example, psoriasis. Historically, psoriasis was a terrible disease that could even be a death sentence. Without effective treatments, psoriasis patients frequently were hospitalized. Whole wards in hospitals were dedicated to treating patients with severe psoriasis. When psoriasis overtook a large portion of someone’s skin surface, the skin could cease to function and patients could develop “erythroderma,” in which the skin turned red, body heat and moisture was lost, and patients sometimes died of heat and water loss. Modern psoriasis treatments have essentially shut down hospitals’ psoriasis wards, and now prescriptions for medicine such as Humira® that you see advertised on television have become the miracle cures we so desperately needed. An exception to our success in dermatology has been a condition called DSAP – disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis. In this disease, an individual develops small growths on the skin that slowly become larger. These growths often have a slightly rough or scaly ring-like edge. They rarely ever become cancer or cause easily quantifiable harm, but people who develop these lesions often develop dozens of thin round growths that can nearly cover the legs or arms and can itch, cause irritation and

Chase: Continued from Page 2 structed officers to activate their cameras and patrol the areas, because uniform patrol had been receiving multiple calls of 15 to 30 racers in the area who were shutting down intersections, doing donuts and racing. It was around that time, that Hulon reportedly encountered what he referred to as “high performance street vehicles” and began taking note of tags. What was not clear from the camera footage, however, was his assertion that there were two vehicles revving their engines as they waited at the traffic light. He later admitted in the interview to owning two “high-performance vehicles” himself, saying that he works on them, so he was able to identify their build – typically two-door coupes with a manual transmission, loud exhaust and tinted windows traveling in a pack of 100 to 200. According to Hulon, both vehicles that night spun their tires when the light turned green, but he could not get to them because a vehicle immediately in front of him “intentionally” obstructed his pursuit. He said that while a red Mustang yielded, the Infiniti did not. “Hulon first assumed that the Infiniti
was about to stop, but as he approached, it sped off quickly,” the investigation states. “The fleeing vehicle was now cutting it close to other vehicles as it was in and out of traffic. It was at that time that Hulon initiated the pursuit due to the vehicle crossing into the oncoming lane.” The report states that Hulon’s pursuit was canceled, and as he was slowing down, he heard another officer announce the crash. Patrol is usually told to show a presence at intersections in efforts to escort racers out of the city, but on this night, Hulon said the group was “much more manageable.” Hulon also confirmed that he had not received any explicit instructions not to chase or instructions that contradicted the department’s policy. On Oct. 11, Sgt. Thomas Robinson asked for a 15-day extension so that it could be placed on hold to avoid any interference with the criminal investigation. Hulon also contacted the Southern States Police Benevolent Association, a professional association that provides legal, disciplinary and other representation to officers who are members, to advise them of what happened. The formal investigation was closed Oct. 22, and after concluding the allegation was “sustained,” Cpt. Charles Thomas Greco recommended Hulon complete remedial training on the Roswell Police Department’s vehicle operations policy.
Funds: Continued from Page 1 and is reviewing public input sought earlier this year. “The final decision on how the city will spend the funds will be decided by the mayor and council,” Roswell Community Relations Director Julie Brechbill said. Johns Creek hopes to leverage IIJA funds for the State Route 120/Abbots Bridge Road from Parsons Road to Medlock Bridge Road operational project. The current estimate is $19 million. “As for other investments, voters recently approved the TSPLOST 2021 referendum, and we will receive an estimated $77 million over the next five years to fund infrastructure projects,” Johns Creek Communications Director Bob Mullen said. “In the next three to six months, we will start construction on Barnwell Road at Holcomb Bridge Road, Bell Road bridge replacement over the Chattahoochee tributary and a sidewalk on Rivermont Parkway.” The City of Milton is hoping to make similar improvements with federal money. “We are awaiting details on funding and the kinds of opportunities we can pursue through this legislation,” Mil-
ton Public Works Director Sara Leaders said. “The city is working to implement projects through local capital funding and the Fulton County Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST) – through we welcome additional funding options such as the (IIJA).” Fulton County government plans to use both TSPLOST and IIJA funding for plans throughout the county, but prior infrastructure investments will reduce requests for new money. The funding requests will be geared toward water projects. “Over the past decade, Fulton County has invested significantly into the North Fulton wastewater infrastructure through user revenues and bonds,” David Clark, Fulton County Director of Public Works said. “We do not plan on submitting any wastewater projects for the North Fulton County area – though we are submitting projects in the South Fulton County area.” Clark said the potable water system in the county is very sound and well sized for current and predicted growth, but certain water mains in North Fulton need attention. “There are some large transmission water mains that we would like to install in key areas of North Fulton (and) will be looking to submit a couple of transmission line projects for consideration once the state opens up the call for projects,” he said.

become inflamed. DSAP lesions have had no satisfactory treatment for years. The attending physicians who trained me tried lasers, topical chemotherapy agents, acids, anti-inflammatories and a host of compounded medications all with little result. Liquid nitrogen to select lesions was often the default and relatively unsatisfying therapy of choice. Recently, Dr. Lihi Atzmony of Yale University and her colleagues identified a new therapy that they report was able to improve DSAP lesions. In many cases, DSAP appears to arise when mutations in genes involved in cholesterol metabolism cause a deficiency of cholesterol production in the skin and a build-up of toxic precursors or byproducts. In the famous “I Love Lucy” candy factory skit, Lucy is not fast enough to wrap all the candy coming down the conveyor belt and unwrapped candy builds up. Similarly, a defective cholesterol pathway is not able to produce a finished cholesterol product (the wrapped candy in this analogy), and the unfinished precursors of cholesterol build up (the unwrapped candies). Lovastatin is a medicine that
decreases cholesterol production. Dr. Atzmony’s 2% lovastatin / 2% cholesterol cream effectively slows down the candy belt using lovastatin and supplies the wrapped candy by delivering alreadywrapped cholesterol. A combination 2% lovastatin, 2% cholesterol ointment is currently off-label, not FDA approved, and new, but it is scientifically based with Dr. Aztmony reporting promising early results. This ointment offers one of the first rays of hope for a condition that has defied attempts at treatment. With luck, we may add DSAP to the long list of skin diseases that we can effectively control. We live in a great era for medicine. Exciting and effective treatments increase in number every day. And the number of dinosaurs we contend with appears to be at an all time low. If you or a loved one has a skin or vein issue, consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Dr. Brent Taylor and Kathryn Filipek, PA-C are delighted to help you achieve your skin health goals. Dr. Taylor is a Harvard-graduate, a board-certified dermatologist and vein care expert, and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon.

OPINION
Turnover time on the Chattahoochee Things have been busy hereabouts lately, and as a result, I have been suffering greatly in the fishing department. There just hasn’t been time to get out on the water. That is bad for my disposition and STEVE HUDSON possibly impacts my Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net hairline too, a heavyduty one-two punch. Clearly, something had to be done. While I was thinking about what to do, my buddy Scott called me up and said, “Let’s go fishing!” That was all the arm-twisting I needed, for I’m one of those strange people who likes to fish for trout during the colder months of the year. A few hours later we were on our way to the storied trout waters of the Chattahoochee River. To be more precise, we were on our way to fish the river below Buford Dam. Our destination was the “upper tailwater.” “Tailwater” means that it’s a portion of the river located below a dam, while the “upper” designator means that said dam is close by. Yeah, really close. In fact, from where
we were going to fish, the dam itself was an imposing presence located just a little ways upstream. Fishing the tailwater below Buford Dam is not for the careless or the lackadaisical. The problem is that if the dam releases water, the river comes up in a hurry. It’ll rise several feet in just minutes as zillions of gallons of icy water start making their way to the Gulf of Mexico. It’ll get you if you don’t watch out, and being gotten by a water release is a bad thing. Yes, you’ve got to be careful on any tailwater. But we had done our homework, and we felt confident that on that day we wouldn’t be washed away. Once we arrived, we put on all the wading gear (including the mandatory life preservers, required by law on this part of the river), rigged up the rods, and made our way to the water. But then… “What’s that smell?” Scott asked. The aroma my friend referred to was sharp, biting, and faintly metallic. It was the aroma of “turnover.” You too may have noticed the astringent aromatics below the dam these last few weeks. What’s the cause? Well, I’m glad you asked – but get ready for a little

bit of chemistry. The smell below the dam right now, as well as the slightly off-putting peagreen hue to the water, stem from something called “turnover.” It happens once a year in the lake above the dam. To understand turnover, you must turn the calendar back to the warm months of last summer when the lake
stratifies (that is, it forms layers) based on water temperature. At the surface, there’s the epilimnion, a highly oxygenated zone 15 to 30 feet thick. Below that is the “metalimnion” (most just call it the thermocline), a 20- to 30-foot-thick zone where temperature drops quickly – as

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING MORATORIUM PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that on Wednesday, January 19, 2022, at 6:00 p.m., the Milton City Council will hold a public hearing to consider the possible adoption and/or extension of two existing moratoriums on the acceptance of alcohol applications, building permit applications, and LDP applications for establishments intending to have consumption on-premises other than incidental service, BYOB, farm wineries, golf courses, hotels, special events facilities or eating establishments within the City of Milton. The public hearing will be held at City Hall located at 2006 Heritage Walk, Milton, Georgia 30004. All City of Milton residents and any other affected and/or interested persons are invited and encouraged to attend.
much as 2 degrees per foot of depth. And below that? Below about 60 feet there’s the hypolimnion, a zone of very cold water with very little dissolved oxygen. Now here comes the chemistry. Where there’s little oxygen in the water, as is the case in lowest layer (the hypolimnion), metals and sulfides (found in bottom sediments) tend to dissolve. But if more oxygen is present, those same dissolved metals tend to form compounds that precipitate out and eventually settle to the bottom. In a nutshell, then, that’s the summertime situation. You’ve got a layer of highly oxygenated water floating on top of a zone of cold, oxygen-poor water – and deep down below it, a cold, oxygenpoor zone holds a lot of dissolved metals and sulfides. But then warm months give way to colder ones. The surface layers cool, and the cooler water (being more dense) starts to sink and the water layers “turn over.” Technically speaking, that’s the “turnover” that you hear so much about. Historically, it seems to happen in the weeks around Christmas. Turnover is important precisely
because it (aided by the stirring effects of seasonal winds) causes the layers to mix. The eventual result is a single mass of unstratified water with dissolved oxygen present throughout the entire water mass. In the presence of that oxygen, those previously dissolved metals now form compounds that begin to precipitate out. The precipitates cloud the water for a while, giving the river that vaguely pea-green color (and that faint but distinct metallic odor) that you encounter below the dam right now. But not to worry. The green haze (and the odor too) won’t last forever. Remember that the color comes from precipitates, and those precipitates are settling out even as we speak. Once they settle out, the lake’s water will clear up on its own. Meanwhile, in the river itself, the precipitates that have passed through the dam soon settle out too. The result is that even in the midst of turnover, the water clears noticeably as you move downstream. Pretty soon, the upper part of the tailwater will be back to its more familiar clear-and-odorless state. The fishing will improve, and the river will once again be a more pleasant place to be. Turnover? No worries. It’s just a temporary thing. And that’s good news for crazy people like me who like to fish in freezing cold rivers in the middle of winter!

Vickye: Continued from Page 4 are the famous cinnamon rolls she used to make from scratch. Although it was a standardized school recipe, everyone seemed to love them, especially their size. Due to revised nutritional guidelines, the school had to stop making them, and Monger said she doesn’t remember the recipe, but those who were lucky enough to taste them continue to ask her to bake them at least one more time. Monger said she is retiring because her lupus symptoms have gotten more intense over time, and she can no longer keep up with the demands of the job. Lupus is a long-term autoimmune disease that can cause inflammation and pain in any part of the body. Monger never let it affect her job, except that now she said she would like some time to herself. Her strong work ethic, she said, comes from her mom and being familyoriented, which she passed on to her own kids. Growing up, she said she told them that if they took a job, they had to make sure they did it the best they could. Monger said she never missed a day from work, despite her days often lasting from around 4:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monger said the piece of advice she would share with her students as they went through the lunch line was to “always go forward, reach your goals and never stop.” Upon retiring, she said plans to sleep in for the first couple of weeks. Then, she is looking forward to enjoying her five grandkids who range in age from 5 to 18 years old. Monger said she hopes she is remembered for always caring about her students and for being a fun-loving person who was just trying to improve some part of their day. “That’s it,” Monger said. “And just being Miss Vickye.”
