Deputies arrest suspected check scheme mastermind FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A Forsyth County man defrauded Regions Bank out of $300,000 by cashing dozens of fake check vouchers, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Amer Hani Meqdadi, 41, turned himself in at the Sheriff’s Office on March 12. He was booked on two counts of use of computer to commit theft and 64 counts of third-degree forgery.

The charges stem from crimes Megdadi reportedly committed in 2018.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, a corporate security investigator at Regions reported his fraudulent activity in April 2018. Bank officials said Megdadi forged 56 electronic checks totaling about $220,000. He cashed the vouchers at two different Regions Bank branches in Forsyth County.

Deputies explained the EFS vouchers are like blank checks that require two points of authentication — a money code issued by the account holder and an authorization code assigned to each

transaction. The EFS vouchers are primarily used by truck drivers to cover expenses during long hauls.

Investigators said Megdadi began depositing fabricated EFS checks through the banks’ ATMs in January 2018 because the cash machines accepted them as regular checks and weren’t set up to distinguish the points of authentication. He quickly transferred the funds to different bank accounts before the vouchers were flagged as fraudulent, according to deputies.

The Sheriff’s Office indicated Regions Bank lost about $300,000 from the scheme.

Woman crashes following domestic dispute FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies were dispatched to a single-vehicle crash along Browns Bridge Road on March 9.

The woman reportedly crashed her car shortly after being involved in a domestic violence incident. Deputies detected the scent of alcohol on the Cumming woman and arrested her.

She was booked on charges of DUI, failure to maintain lane and reckless driving stemming from the crash. She faces charges of aggravated assault with a weapon, family violence battery and criminal damage to property in connection with the domestic dispute.

Suspect allegedly uses man’s lost debit card FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies on March 10 arrested a Forsyth County woman months after she allegedly made several charges on a lost debit card.

Sarah Lynn Gorisek, 43, was charged with fraudulent use of transaction card.

The charge stems from an October report from the victim who told deputies

After the victim reported the fraud, deputies reviewed surveillance footage at one of the stores where the purchases were made. The footage showed Gorisek using the man’s debit card. Officers arrested her March 10 on Buford Highway.

County’s public health district surpasses 100K COVID-19 vaccines administered

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — District 2 Public Health, which includes Forsyth County and 12 other counties in northeast Georgia, reached the milestone of 100,000 COVID-19 vaccines administered March 15.

The District announced it has administered over 11,000 doses per week for the last eight weeks.

“We have a committed group of public health employees who have persevered through COVID-19 testing and vaccination while continuing to deliver services to our communities,” Zach Taylor, District Health Director, said. “With the vaccination effort, we expanded our full-and-part-time workforce, partnered with nursing programs in our area, and deployed our volunteer base to make this possible. Having long-term relationships with our educational institutions, a volunteer organization in place, and partners in other agencies and organizations makes this achievement a shared community effort.”

The announcement comes as vaccine supply chains have stabilized and more Georgians are eligible to receive doses.

Beginning March 15, the state expanded vaccine eligibility to include

all residents aged 55 and older and those with high-risk health conditions, including asthma, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, neurological disorders, heart conditions, obesity and others.

On March 16, judges and courtroom staff were made eligible to receive vaccinations.

Healthcare workers, residents and staff of long-term care facilities, residents aged 65 or older and their caregivers, first responders, educators and other were made eligible to receive doses on March 8.

A significant percentage of the vaccines District 2 has administered has been in partnership with Forsyth County.

In January, the county began hosting mass vaccination events at First Redeemer Church on Peachtree Parkway and Browns Bridge Church off Browns Bridge Road to assist the health district.

On March 17, the county centralized its efforts and began hosting the events at Lanier Technical College’s Forsyth campus.

The county’s events had administered over 11,000 doses by the first week of March.

Appointments are being scooped up quickly when made available for the county’s events. Available appointments are no longer available for March 24-25

SAMANTAH SHROYER/HERALD

Lt. Clint Lively with Forsyth County Fire administers a COVID-19 vaccination March 18. at Lanier Tech.

The county has previously stated it will only make appointments available for those receiving their first dose when it has confirmed enough doses to distribute at each vaccination event date.

Residents can book an appointment,

when available, through the county’s website, forsythco.com, or call District 2 Public Health at (770)-531-5692.

As of March 19, the county said it will be administering vaccines that require two doses, so residents should expect a second appointment.

Planning Commission to vote on mixed-use development

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmedia.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Planning Commission was set March 23 to make its recommendation of approval or denial for a mixed-use development off McFarland Parkway first proposed in 2016.

The 19-acre site, located at 100 McFarland Parkway adjacent to Brandywine Elementary School, has been on the county’s radar for about five years with a slew of changes made to the proposed site plan since it was first submitted. Board member Jessica Thorsen, who represents the area as in District 3, said the plan has “come a long way” and could help spruce up the area during the Planning Commission’s March 16 work session.

The current proposal calls for a rezoning from Community Business District and low-density residential to a Master Planned District, a mixeduse zoning category. Liu Investment Partners is requesting the rezoning to develop 67 townhomes and several commercial buildings totaling

44,000-square feet.

The plan calls for an entrance along McFarland Parkway between an open area and a retail/restaurant building.

Four additional retail buildings would be constructed along the southern edge of the property with an entrance from Martin Drive.

The townhomes would be located between the retail portions of the site.

Two entrances along Ga. 9 are also shown on the site plan, along with several stormwater retention areas and amenities, including a walking trail, picnic area with benches, a gazebo and several open areas.

The plan was recently updated to include commercial spaces on the lower level of one of the townhome buildings, a move praised by Thorsen.

Another positive change, Thorsen said, is a better proposed transition from the residential and commercial areas. She is pleased with the changes the site plan has undergone over the last several years.

The Place of Forsyth receives $40K grant CUMMING, Ga. — The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta has awarded The Place of Forsyth with a $40,000 grant to recognize the organization’s community work. The grant will fund The Place’s various programs and services.

“We are beyond grateful for this generous support from the Community Foundation,” President and CEO of The Place Joni Smith said. “This investment will have a great return of children fed, families kept in their homes and their lights kept on.”

For Smith, this grant is particularly special since it came as a surprise.

“Typically, we write grant proposals to various foundations and they respond with a decision,” she said. “This grant, however, was not planned nor asked for. It means a lot to us that the Community Foundation has seen our work and has determined that The Place is a worthy investment and that we can be trusted with their resources. Receiving this grant for general operating support, will allow us the flexibility and

Local charitable group increases impact by opening store Home furnishings store helps to renovate rooms for special-needs kids

By ZOE SEILER newsroom@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell-based philanthropic group Sunshine on a Ranney Day is furthering its positive impact to the local special-needs community with the organization’s latest venture, Sunny and Ranney Home Furnishings and Décor in Roswell.

The store, opened last November at 109B Oak Street, sells furniture donated by companies and uses the profits to fund home makeovers for families with special-needs kids. Over 140 families have had their homes renovated by Sunshine on a Ranney Day. The organization is latest venture of Holly Ranney and her husband, Peter.

The couple, inspired by a church sermon, found their calling to use their networks and resources to help others. Ranney has a background in furniture and design, and Peter has extensive construction experience, which led to the creation of Sunshine on a Ranney Day. The organization started as a hobby in 2012 when the couple had corporate jobs. In 2013, Ranney and Peter did a renovation for the family of Tripp Halstead, who at two-years old was hit by a tree limb when it fell, causing a severe brain injury.

“After that, we kind of realized that after working in these homes…that these families needed so much more, and there’s so much need out there,” Ranney said. “So, in 2014, I ended up leaving my corporate job and taking the charity on full time, and then we just focused on growing it.”

The next step for growing the charity was opening Sunny and Ranney Home Furnishings and Décor last year. The store gets inventory from various market showrooms and other sources as furniture is switched out and samples need a new home.

The store has about 10 showrooms of donated furniture, and all profits go toward the charity and the home makeovers. The store sells a little bit of everything for bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms and dining

Holly Ranney sits on a couch for sale in her store, Sunny and Ranney Home Furnishings in Roswell, which uses profits to fund home renovations for families with kids with special needs. The store is the latest venture of the Sunshine on a Ranney Day charitable organization, which Ranney founded with her husband, Peter, in 2012. rooms, except for mattresses.

“We focus on making sure that the quality of stuff that we have is very nice,” Ranney said. “It’s stuff from market showrooms to designer warehouses, and we just got a bunch of stuff from a builder, like a model home. It was all new stuff that they just had to get out of it because they were going to sell the model home.”

The product changes every week as new inventory arrives. The store does take individual donations if items are in good condition and up to date. Ranney asks that anyone interested in donating furniture should email the store with pictures of the item(s), and the group can decide to accept the donation before it is dropped off.

Sunny and Ranney’s store has provided needed funds to continue the organization’s efforts. The timing of the store’s opening was critical because the group’s annual gala, which raised about half a million dollars each year, was cancelled in 2020.

“Our store opened in November last year, and in the first month, I mean, the income that we were able to bring in from the sales of that actually really kind of put our charity back to where we should be,” Ranney said. “And it’s only going to increase.”

She added that the store is a great way to raise money because people get to buy a cool, nice piece of furniture and know that their purchase is helping children. The store has also garnered more exposure for the charity and more social media followers.

“As soon as you walk in the store you learn about the charity, so everybody, by the time they leave after shopping, has learned about Sunshine on a Ranney Day,” Ranney said. “It’s actually been really good for the charity, because it’s not just a shopping experience and helping raise money, it’s also exposure.”

Sunny and Ranney is open Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Friends, Family, and Future with Village Park Senior Living Residents at Village Park Senior Living are celebrating new milestones and developments within their community. Village Park Alpharetta welcomed future residents to tour their newly expanded campus during a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on March 23rd. The ceremony was not only a celebration of the growing community but also the new possibilities made available by the COVID-19 vaccine. Village Park is among Georgia’s first assisted living communities to receive the vaccine with more than 95% of residents fully vaccinated. The organization’s continued partnership with local pharmacists enables current and new residents to enjoy peace of mind and safely get back to doing what they love with those they love.

Resident, Wayne Dahlgren, expressed that he is not only surrounded by a team that supports him, but also by friends, family, and future.

“Even though we are making new friends, they are becoming a family, and we all have a future,” Wayne said. “No matter how old we are or what our physical condition is, this is a great place to experience those things.”

Choosing a senior living community can be complex; however, selecting a Village Park Senior Living community means choosing quality care, developing

new friendships, and more. Village Park provides the care and support you need, so you can focus on spending quality time with family.

Residents moving into Phase II of Village Park Alpharetta can look forward to quality care and camaraderie. The expansion also includes a wealth of new amenities. The main lobby greets patrons with fresh flowers from the on-site market and delicious meals from the Rose Point Café. This newest eatery adds a third dining venue to Village Park’s existing bistro and full-service dining. The café is perfect for active residents seeking a grab-and-go option for days when formal dining does not fit into their schedules.

In addition to Village Park’s bungalows, cottages, independent living, assisted living, and memory care residences, Phase II includes a new residential concept known as city homes. City homes are distinguished by their private front door entrances and patios with a second interior entrance into the main building. Phase II is expected to fully open its doors within the next few weeks.

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

Brought to you by: Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta 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 in our practice 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.

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 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.

It’s Barbecue Time!

Ahh, spring. It’s officially here. The calendar tells me that the 2021 edition of the season of renewal really is underway, and we can only hope that this one plays out better than the last STEVE HUDSON one did.

Get Outside Georgia, How can you do aa4bw@comcast.net your part to make this a better spring? Yes, wear a mask and practice social distancing and all the rest. Those are small things, but they’ll help. Do them – if not for yourself, then for the rest of us.

But that’s not what I want to talk about. Instead, I want to spotlight one of my favorite springtime outdoor activities, and that is the fine art of filling your backyard with the aromas of outdoor cooking. I want to talk about what happens when you fire up a smoker and add some hickory and pile on some ribs or a Boston butt.

Low, slow heat does the rest, and then later on, it’s heaven-on-a-plate time barbecue-style, and life becomes very, very good.

My introduction to the exquisite world of barbecue came a long time ago. When my dad and us kids would set out on a fishing trip, for example, it always seemed that our route to the water would take us near a barbecue place. Dad knew where the best ones were, and somehow we always managed to be passing near to one come time for lunch or supper.

That early indoctrination was apparently effective, for barbecue has become a part of my being. I’ve always favored barbecue if given the choice of what to eat. Solution Over the years, I even tried my F L A E R I C B E A U B E R T E E R A R E P S O L E O S Y R U T D A P H E R E N E T I N A M A L

hand at cooking it myself, but I never had much success.

And then, one Christmas a few years ago, Wife of Mine gifted me with a large and heavy box.

“Does he know what it is?” asked one of my kids as I got ready to open it up.

“I don’t think so!” my bride said.

So I dug into the paper, and few minutes later there it was – my very own barbecue smoker.

Since that fateful day, I’ve been slowly learning the art of low-andslow outdoor cooking. There have been some disasters along the way, including the time I managed to turn two dozen innocent chicken thighs into rock-hard lumps of coal.

But I’ve gotten better. Nowadays (knock on wood) the chicken thighs are easy. So are racks of ribs. So is a Boston butt, though I’ve got to get up at 5 a.m. to get one of those started in time if we plan to have it for supper.

And the leftovers…ahh, the leftovers! They’re perfect to throw in the cooler and take along to enjoy for

lunch when I go fishing or hiking.

Nowadays, having been playing with this barbecue thing for a little while now, I think I’ve decided that what I really want to be when I grow up is a “pit master,” as in master of the barbecue pit. That’s the honorific to which every barbecuer aspires. Is “barbecuer” even a word? Spell-check tells me no. But “pitmaster” is, and that’s the moniker I’m striving for. I want my barbecue to be so good, so exquisitely smoky and richly flavored, that it will be unforgettable. I want it to become the stuff of legend and song.

Right now, in fact, there’s a big thing of ribs resting in the refrigerator.

I’ve covered them with my secret rib rub, and they’re soaking up the flavor even as we speak. The smoker is all set up and ready to go too, and I’ve loaded it with some nice hickory and one little piece of mesquite for that little extra kick of flavor.

Yeah, I think it’s time to put them on.

They’ll be done by six, and dinner’s at seven.

I’ll save a couple for you.

Sawnee EMC to receive more clean energy CUMMING, Ga. — Sawnee Electric Membership Corporation is among 32 electric cooperatives in Georgia that now collectively share in power production from a new 200-megawatt solar portfolio that includes three utility-scale projects in South Georgia.

The total capacity of the three sites will collectively provide enough lowcost, renewable energy to serve more than 35,000 EMC households. As a clean energy source, its environmental offset is equivalent to more than 350,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.

All three sites feature single-axis tracking modules that rotate to follow the sun, a technology advancement that produces approximately 20 percent more energy than fixed-tilt installations, allowing participating cooperatives to maximize the energy output.

Green Power EMC, the renewable energy provider owned by 38 Georgia Electric Membership Corporations, including Sawnee EMC, is purchasing the full power output of the three solar facilities and providing it to participating electric cooperatives.

In Memoriam

Dagmar Camilla Spellman

Dagmar Camilla Spellman, 85, of Cleveland, Georgia, passed away peacefully Saturday morning, March 6, 2021. She was born in 1935 in Frankfurt, Germany. She is remembered by her husband of 65 years, David Spellman, her daughter and son-in-law Debbi and Bill Keneely, her son and daughter-in-law, Steve Spellman and Veronica Richards, her daughter and son-in-law, Karen Spellman and Tim Davis, as well as her five grandchildren, David, Amber, Melissa, Kevin, and Leslie, and her six great-grandchildren, Summer, Colton, Jacqueline, Hunter, Zachary, and Jaxson, her

brother and sister-in-law, Gert and Ruth of Munich, Germany as well as all of her many friends.

Dagmar was such an inspiration to everyone, never met a stranger, and loved her family fiercely.

She loved boating, camping, gardening, and reading but was happiest spending time with family and friends. She was also a tremendous cook and treated everyone to some very tasty German dishes.

She will be remembered for her infectious smile, zest for life and her love for all of us. Rest in peace, we miss you.
