According to information presented in court, Brown began making private arrangements with Rutledge’s girls directly, bypassing the madame. Brown also reportedly had the girls doing cleri cal work for his pressure-washing busi ness after separating from his wife, who usually took care of the paperwork side of the business. Lt. Travis Parker of the Milton Police Department said in 2009 that Dulcio and Woods were “gang bangers” who apparently knew Rutledge from several nightclubs in Atlanta. Rutledge ordered the hit on Brown, he said, first handing the murder weapon to Woods. When Brown called Morrison, an adult entertainer, for a “date,” he instead was met by the two men at his apart ment. Morrison and Rutledge stayed in the Ancar.avid gun collector, Brown was armed, which Dulcio and Woods had not accounted for. Dulcio and Brown got

ATLANTA — A Roswell man has been sentenced for recording his sexual en counters with a 13-year-old girl he hid at his apartment for three weeks in the summer of 2012.Derrick Hunt, 39, was sentenced to 17 years and six months in prison, followed by su pervised release for life. Hunt was convicted on May 16 after pleading guilty to the production of childAccordingpornography.tofederal officials, on June 18, 2012, Hunt saw a Facebook post from a teen girl from Gwinnett County stating she wanted to run away from her family’s home. Hunt knew the girl was 13 years old, but still agreed to pick her up and take her to his apartment, where he gave her alcohol, marijuana and opioids. Over the next several weeks, Hunt en gaged in numerous sex acts with the girl while she was impaired from alcohol or drugs. Federal officials state he recorded the sex acts with a camera in his living room. Then, on July 7, 2012, Hunt ar ranged for the girl’s father to pick her up at a fast-food restaurant in Roswell. Court records show that at around midnight on July 7, 2012, two Roswell police officers were dispatched to the restaurant in response to a call to Gwin nett County police about a missing, endangered juvenile. But, after waiting for about 90 minutes, the officers left to respond to other calls. Federal officials state Hunt was unaware that the child’s father had arranged for the police to be at their meeting location, so when he finally dropped her off at approximately 2:30 a.m., officers headed back and conducted a traffic stop on a white Chevy Camaro. The driver was later identified as Hunt. While being questioned, Hunt was purportedly “slightly uncooperative,” giv ing officers an incorrect home address. Police stated he and the 13-year-old girl also gave different accounts of how they had met. Because of those inconsisten cies and the fact that the girl had been reported missing, Hunt was arrested in

ATLANTA — An Atlanta woman sen tenced to life in prison in connection to the 2007 shooting death of 40-yearold Keith Alan Brown, of Milton, was released on parole Aug. 22. The incident was Milton’s first homi cide since its incorporation in December 2006. When it occurred, then 26-yearold Michelle Morrison told police she thought she was just driving a friend to collect a debt and never even stepped inside the victim’s apartment. Now, after spending 13 years behind bars, she is free. That’s in part thanks to the Conviction Integrity Unit at the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, which was formed under District Attor ney Fani Willis to review the integrity of past convictions. The unit gave the case another look and agreed that Morrison’s sentence had been unjust. Morrison and another defendant, Jeff Dulcio, of Sandy Springs, were convicted in 2009 of felony murder, aggravated as sault, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery and conspiracy for the June 12, 2007, incident at the Preserve at Deer fieldTheyapartments.wereimmediately sentenced to life in prison plus five years.

The governor’s office will award the funds to 20 organizations who applied via a competitive process. The funds will be used to build affordable housing, improve existing housing, and provide mental health services to people who are homeless.

ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp announced Aug. 29 that his office will provide $62 million to help Georgia com munities address homelessness and housing insecurity.

Karen Parrish, chairwoman of the Housing Authority of Roswell, said in an email to Appen Media Aug. 29 that the Roswell agency continues to move forward with the tenants’ relocation.

The funds come from federal COVID relief funds provided to the state under the American Rescue Plan Act. Additional grants will be awarded this fall to groups working to help homeless Georgians, said Andrew Isen hour, a spokesman for the governor.

Bambie Hayes-Brown, president and CEO of Georgia ACT, a statewide coalition of affordable housing groups, said the funding will help organizations assist the disad vantaged.“Weknow the work that our mission-based develop ers do is very important to providing housing opportu nities for the lowest income of Georgians,” said HayesBrown.Hayes-Brown said Georgia ACT members awarded funding include Mercy Housing Southeast, Quest Com munity Development, and SUMMECH Community De velopment. These groups all work to provide affordable housing, mostly in the Atlanta area.

Some of the other groups awarded funding include Habitat for Humanity organizations in Athens, Troup County and Houston County.

A spokesman for Democrat Stacey Abrams – who is challenging Kemp for the governorship in November –criticized Kemp’s announcement. “Kemp has repeatedly railed against spending that he’s now trying to claim credit for – even as housing costs continue to skyrocket on his watch with no re sponse from him but election year gimmicks,” said Alex Floyd for the campaign.

ROSWELL, Ga. — There are still nine tenants at 199 Grove Way who have not found suitable housing to relocate.Lastspring, all 33 tenants, many of whom had been living at the public housing development for more than 20 years, were notified they would need to relocate by the end of August, because the City of Roswell had deemed the property structurally unsound. However, because relocation challenges have mount ed over the past couple of months, tenants are no longer being given a definitive date to vacate the property. Sev eral areas around the building are currently being held up by metal supports, and in August, the ceiling of one of the units collapsed.

“As Georgians faced the unprecedented challenges and economic downturn of the pandemic, COVID-19 robbed some of their financial stability, expanding the homeless population in vulnerable communities,” said Kemp. “Those who were already homeless faced even greater difficulties, with many already struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues.”

Theformula.county has been negotiating with the Cumming over LOST since June and must have a final agreement in place and filed with the state by Dec. 30. County Attorney Jarrard said that both parties have approved using former-Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Randy Rich as the LOST nego tiation mediator. Rich retired from the Superior Court of Gwinnett County in 2020 and currently serves as a media tor for Henning Mediation in Atlanta. Commissioners approved the ap pointment 5-0. Now that Rich’s appointment has been approved, Jarrard said the two parties will work together to start pick ing dates for their first negotiation sessions.

The most notable of the stipulations, Jarrard said, was a special condition allowing the current property owners to buy the property back, at the cur rent sale price, if Forsyth County elects not to use the property as a park in the next five years. “In other words, the only way this right of first refusal gets triggered is if you from the dais vote, ‘we’re not using it for a park or recreation purpose,’” Jarrard said. “And I think that likeli hood is extraordinarily low.”

District 3 Commissioner Todd Lev ent said the provision worried him, be cause the current board of commission ers can’t bind future board members to a decision and a future board might be put in a position where the land is sold for much less than it’s worth. “But if it happens at four years and a half, most of us probably won’t be here,” Levent said. “While possibly the value goes up and we sell it back to them for the same price we paid?” But Jarrard said that both he and County Manager Kevin Tanner are con fident that’s very unlikely to happen. “And my recommendation, would be let the clock run, in that situation,” Jarrard said. “Five years in the life of a government is a snap of the fingers.” Jarrard said they expect to close on the property before the end of the year after a 90-day due diligence process.

Evimero Marketplace dedicates itself to fair trade

MILTON, Ga. — Evimero Marketplace isn’t the average gift shop. At Evimero, which is Greek for “to thrive, to prosper,” gifts are ethically sourced. After years of working in retail and gaining an awareness for the conditions of “fast fashion” manufacturing, Natalia Beley started Evimero Marketplace in 2020. Originally located in Roswell, she moved the store to Milton’s Crabapple district in “There’sApril.areason why you can buy a shirt for $10,” she said. Personal stories and social causes sit beside most of Evimero’s carefully curat ed and handmade goods. Beley curates goods based on their unique qualities. There are around 50 vendors in the store, she said. Beley prefers the term “maker” to describe those who provide the store’s products, different from artisans. While Evimero’s products are artful, Beley said they have a practical purpose. While local makers provide some of Evimero’s stock, Beley also scours sites like Etsy, Facebook and Instagram to find makers at wholesale. To set up shop in Evimero, local makers must meet a few requirements. They should be based in the United States, preferably Georgia, produce small batches and make their products by hand.Visitors might see candles from Cherokee Rose Candle Company. Own ers Amanda and Brian Roberts started the company in 2019 and received its LLC on their third wedding anniversary. They have been working with Beley for two “Whatyears.Ilove about working with Na talia is she’s like the biggest cheerleader for small businesses,” Amanda said. Amanda was a full-time child life specialist, but she switched lanes to Cherokee Rose after having her first child. She said she started on Etsy and would reach out to different stores to sell her products. She made it into a couple of stores her first year. While on mater nity leave, she made it into more and became swamped with sales, with candle materials covering her house. “It was a good problem,” Amanda said. Cherokee Rose is now in 10 stores, one in Alabama, and Amanda is working to market in Tennessee. With a parttime employee, Amanda makes candles out of Made Mercantile, a small business

Economic forecaster predicts challenges ahead GSU’s betterGeorgiaDhawan:willfarethanmost

ATLANTA – Georgia has experienced “superb” job growth, adding 137,400 jobs in the past seven months with un employment below 3 percent, accord ing to Rajeev Dhawan of the Economic Forecasting Center at Georgia State University’s J. Mack Robinson College of Business.Dhawanreleased his economic fore cast for Atlanta and the state Aug. 31. Approximately one-third of jobs gained, 47,000, are in hospitality and retail.“Combined, the two sectors rep resent 20 percent of the economy by employment share, but they produced 35 percent of new job growth,” Dhawan said. “The biggest stumbling block for growth in hospitality and retail will not be rising interest rates, but a short age of workers to meet the two sectors’ blistering growth rate.” The information sector, which spans jobs in fintech, technology, software and film, “has punched above its weight” in job gains, Dhawan said.

Here is the story. In the late 1700s, Scotch-Irish im migrants started to arrive in Georgia. With them came their knowledge of distilling grains and fruits into alcohol ic beverages. Since the government did not tax production of alcohol, distilling was totally legal. Mountain people and farmers turned excess crops into corn whiskey or peach and apple brandy for their families and friends, and all was good.During the Civil War, Congress created the Internal Revenue Service to collect taxes on luxury goods such as liquor and tobacco. This did not sit well with moonshiners or customers and after the war many producers re fused to pay the tax. That made whis key production illegal, and all was not good. Distillation went underground. Producers worked at night to avoid detection, hence the name moonshine. Gradually, public opinion shifted. Op position to the illegal practices grew, thanks to efforts by the temperance movement, evangelicals and women who portrayed moonshiners as gang sters. This led to Prohibition in 1920 when Congress made alcohol produc tion and sale illegal. Prohibition was great for moonshiners because sud denly they became the only source of alcoholic spirits. Prices in the South for bootleg whiskey quadrupled. Fun stories abound about speakeasies and the Roaring ’20s as prohibition became increasingly unpopular. When the Great Depression hit following the stock market crash of 1929, the government realized that by not taxing alcohol it was losing a great source of revenue. In 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt made a campaign promise to legalize alcohol, and in 1933 Congress endedMoonshinersProhibition.continued to thrive because nobody wanted to pay liquor taxes. The Atlanta Constitution report ed in November 1934 that the Atlanta district was no. 1 in the U.S. in moon shining. More than 500 stills were de stroyed that year. Prices for cotton, the foundation of Georgia’s rural economy, went so low thanks to the Depression and the boll weevil that many farmers went bankrupt. Prices for corn, an other staple of the economy, declined so much that some farmers burned corn rather than coal in their stoves. For them, making moonshine became a matter of survival for their families. Deep animosity developed between producers and law enforcers, both lo cal and federal, as raids and shootouts were not uncommon. A cottage industry developed in North Georgia during the Depression and continued through the 1930s and 1940s “running” white lightning from moonshiners to eager buyers in Atlanta. To avoid being caught by lo cal police, the moonshine was carried in souped up cars – often 1940 Ford Coupes – that could be modified to go up to 180 MPH. High-speed chases took place down Route 9 which be came known as Thunder Road. Route 9 passed through Alpharetta, Roswell (Roswell Road) and Sandy Springs on its way to Atlanta. After their mad dashes to Atlanta, runners held races to see whose car was the fastest and a new sport, NASCAR stock car racing, wasLocalborn.historian Connie Mashburn tells stories about Alpharetta police who would park their cars on Highway 9 and turn their flashing lights on to divert a speeding runner from the high way to a side street where he would be stopped, boxed in and captured. The police would confiscate the car in front of the courthouse and dump the whis key into the street. It was not uncom mon to see people bring cups to scoop up some of the whiskey. One down town resident allowed runners to hide cars behind his house until the police gave up the chase. The only way he knew if a runner had been there would be if a gallon of moonshine was on his back porch in the morning. Local farmer J W Shirley leased his farm in the 1950s and happened to discover a still in his corn crib. He called federal agents and the still was destroyed and the lease was canceled.

Frank Paras Home Depot Installation Services Local Team Leader Tara Tucker So, we had been thinking about it for a long time – feels like years. Nothing really suggested that now would be a bet ter time than some other and, in fact, there were probably more things going on today that argued against it than in the past. Yet here we are getting ready to do it again. It became real to me when I was perusing our website, appenmedia.com, and saw the link which said in big bold letters, “SANDY SPRINGS CRIER COM ING FALL 2022.” Appen Media already publishes five weekly newspapers. So, a Sandy Springs Crier would be our sixth and the sister newspaper to the Dunwoody Crier. That would jump our circulation from 93,000 a week to 105,000. Great news for just about any business that considers the booming northside as a key target mar ket.And what a market it is: Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, Johns Creek, South Forsyth, Dunwoody, and now Sandy Springs. I am not sure that there is a better, more affluent high-end consumer driven market in Georgia or even the Southeast than this one. So, yes, adding Sandy Springs to our coverage area is a great marketing enhancement, but that’s not really what is driving this according to Appen Publisher and first son, Hans Appen.“Why would you do this?” I asked him. “Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? Don’t we work hard enough al ready, and don’t we need to sleep some time? Shouldn’t we just stay the course and not take risks like this?” He “Sandyresponded.Springs needs a source for regular local news that can be trusted and is reliable,” he said. “Every town and every city in the state does. It’s about our shared communities, values andHefutures.”means it. I know. I taught him and all of my children about what is important in life and worth fighting over the past 30 years. I get it. So, I know he is serious.Itisabout leadership, and resolve. It is about doing what is right. I am reminded of the lyrics of a Tom Petty song: “But I won’t back down. No, I’ll stand my ground. Won’t be turned around. And I’ll keep this world from draggin me down. Gonna stand my ground.”Those lyrics cover a lot of miles, especially today. The world feels like it’s crazy and getting crazier. Values and standards that used to provide stability – a life-foundation for us all – now feel so diluted, mixed in, disguised, and even lost in all the distracting and confusing noise today. It’s easy to get lost in the chaos and to find fault at every turn, including with “the media.” But that is the environment in which we must take a stand.Thecurrent against the media today is strong. So many are skeptical and do not trust it. Too many lump all the media into one big basket and discount it all. In fact, many of those who have read this far in my column are saying something snarky to themselves right now about this idea that Appen Media is any different than all the rest, that local media can be important or credible. That’s why I think Hans is starting a new print newspaper. Give us the benefit of the doubt and suspend your skepti cism. Read us. See for yourself that Ap pen Media in fact is earning your respect and your support. We all need something to believe in, and it is only when we stand up and fight for ourselves and for each other that we stand a chance of fixing this mess we find ourselves in today. Give each other the benefit of the doubt. Support those who refuse to participate in the chaos and, instead, try to make things better. It’s easy to criticize; it’s much harder to see the good and do what is right, despite the headwinds. Stand your ground. And help Hans and Appen Media try to do the same.

Reading with Soft Contact Lenses

This option utilizes traditional single vision contact lenses that correct each eye for a different functional vision task. Typically, your dominant eye utilizes a prescription power for distance vision, and your non-dominant eye uses a prescription power for near vision. This method is very effective for younger presbyopes. Monovision contact lenses may involve an adjustment period as your brain gradually adjusts to this optical setup. In combination with your individual lifestyle demands and eye health history, there are many factors to consider when choosing a contact lens option. Consult your personal eye doctor to determine the most appropriate treatment for your needs.

Whether you have successfully worn glasses or contact lenses for years or never needed vision correction, most people over the age of 40 will begin to notice a gradual decline in their near reading vision. This gradual inability to focus on nearby objects is known as Presbyopia. Although relying on reading glasses is a commonplace solution, for many entering their presbyopic years, the dependence on reading glasses can be discouraging and frustrating. One approach to achieving functional near vision without glasses is through the use of soft contact lenses. When handled properly, soft contact lenses are a safe and viable choice for vision correction.

Multifocal soft contact lenses have both distance and near zones designed within a single contact lens. Unlike traditional bifocal or progressive glasses, the optics for both distance and near are presented in front of the pupil simultaneously so there is no need to look through a distinct section of the contact lens. Therefore, there is a smooth transition between different viewing distances with multifocal soft contact lenses.

Since the 1990s when opioids became the drug of choice for pain relief, other types of pain relief have been proven more effective with better outcomes for patients.

Get relief by finding the root cause of your pain and how to fix it.

Back pain affects almost everyone. Office workers, truck drivers, parents, athletes, weekend warriors. And maybe even“Howyou.you address your pain could be a life and death decision,” said Dr. Leana Kart, D.C., spokesperson for the ‘Relief Without Addiction’ public awareness campaign.

Chiropractic adjustments for back pain are proven to be effective. Only 1.5% of people with back injuries who are treated by chiropractors are likely to have surgery. Patients who saw a surgeon for their pain were 42.7% more likely to have surgery.*

• A cumulative HCTZ dose of 200,000 mg or greater (about 20 years’ use) was as sociated with a risk of SCC that is is 7.7 times as high (odds ratio 7.7).

Recently, several articles were published demonstrating an increased risk of non melanoma skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma) and use of blood pressure medicine hydro chlorothiazide (HCTZ). Armed with this data, the FDA has changed the labeling on HCTZ to reflect this increased risk. What is interesting, however, is the way the fda. gov website characterizes this risk. The FDA’s website states, “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved chang es to the hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) drug label to inform health care profession als and patients about a small increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancer.” …… Small? Judge the data for yourself: Taking HCTZ was overall associated with nearly double the ratio of developing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The odds ratio was 1.9 meaning someone taking HCTZ is 1.9 times as likely to develop SCC as someone not taking this medicine. But some people take HCTZ for longer periods than others, and the odds ratio of 1.9 was for patients who had taken the medicine for less than four and half years. Often, once people are put on blood pressure medication, they remain on it for life. When factoring this, the risk of the us age of HCTZ becomes, in this physician’s opinion, much more than “small”. Studies •report:Acumulative HCTZ dose of 50,000 mg or greater (about 6 years’ use) was associ ated a risk of SCC that is four times as high. (Odds ratio 4.0)

Much of this data comes out of Den mark. So what does that mean for the average Georgia resident? It is reasonable to assume that a person of Northern Eu ropean descent living in a sunny southern latitude like Georgia or Florida could be at even higher risk than what was reported above.When judging whether risk is “small,” we must consider the baseline risk. Ac cording to skincancer.org, about 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by age 70 with nearly all cases developing in non-Hispanic whites. Individuals in that demographic therefore have a high baseline risk. In addition, the most recent data suggests that more people might now be dying each year from SCC than mela noma. We usually think about melanoma as more dangerous, and, on a case by case basis, melanomas are more danger ous than squamous cell carcinomas, but melanoma is rare and SCC is common, so the total number of SCC deaths is reach ing or exceeding melanoma deaths. Exact numbers are not available because SCC is not a reportable disease, but approxi mately 15,000 people die of SCC each year in the United UnderlyingStates.riskfactors can lead to even greater mortality. Patients who have received an organ transplant are approxi mately one hundred times (100x) more likely to develop skin cancer than the general population. By comparison, tan ning bed use has been associated with an increased risk of SCC of 90% (odds ratio 1.9). Thus, with respect to squamous cell carcinoma, HCTZ use has roughly the same risk as tanning bed use! As of 2019, HCTZ was one of the top 20 most commonly prescribed medica tions in the United States with more than 38 million prescriptions per year. We don’t often think about oral medi cations as increasing our skin cancer risk. But this is true for HCTZ. Every medica tion has risks and benefits. It is important to consider pros and cons before starting a new medication. When a medication is discovered to have previously unknown risks, companies and agencies, includ ing the FDA, should be careful not to minimize risks that might be significant. Instead, risks of SCC need to be weighed against the risks of hypertension, and consideration should be given to ques tions such as: Is there an alternative blood pressure medication with a better side-effect profile? and Is this patient at high-risk for skin cancer? What do you think? Is an odds ratio ranging from 1.9x to 7.7x or higher a “small” risk? If you or a loved one has a skin can cer or a skin care need, please 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.
