Alpharetta attracts crowd of thousands for softball tourney
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia,com
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Thousands of families descended on Alpharetta for the national Triple Crown Sports softball tournament July 17-20, bringing a healthy bump to the city’s economy.
The tournament drew some 1,500 players representing more than 100 teams, marking a two-fold increase from last year. With teams from across the eastern U.S., the players and their families rented lodging, ate at restaurants and purchased snacks, sporting supplies and other items during their visit.
As one of the city’s largest sporting events, the competition created a powerful “ripple” effect for local businesses, said Anita Jupin, director of PR and communications for the city’s convention and visitors bureau, Awesome Alpharetta.

County raises fares for its public transit
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Commission approved fare hikes July 17 for the two public transportation services it assists with funding.
The fare increase will affect passengers who take more than 50,000 trips each year.
Access Forsyth fares increased from $2 to $3.
Common Courtesy trips, which previously cost $2, were increased so that passengers pay the first $5, with the county paying the remain -
ing cost up to $13. Should a single fare exceed $13.01, the passenger would pay the difference.
The change will be implemented Aug. 1 and are expected to add about $42,000 in revenue to Access Forsyth and $368,000 to Common Courtesy.
Access Forsyth provides rides on small buses to all passengers but requires a reservation. Common Courtesy connects seniors and disabled passengers with rideshare services Uber and Lyft.

Couple loses thousands in online computer scam
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A Cumming couple reported July 11 they were defrauded of $13,600 in a computer scam.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were dispatched to a Valley Landing Court home in Cumming about 6:20 a.m. after an extortion was reported.
A 77-year-old woman and 80-yearold man said they were browsing Facebook when their computer screen went dark and a message appeared. The message advised them to contact Microsoft and provided a phone number.
When the couple called the number, a person asked for permission to remotely access their computer. The couple complied.
The person on the phone told them their bank accounts had been compromised and used to purchase child pornography. They couple was told the purchase could result in legal trouble.
The husband said he was overcome with anxiety and “extremely uncomfortable.”
The alleged scammer then said a representative from the Federal Trade Commission would call them to correct the issue.
A man who identified himself as a representative from the federal agency said he needed to move their money into an escrow account. After the call, a man claiming to be a bank representative contacted them saying the husband had to convert $13,600 into BitCoin and send it to him.
Deputies advised the couple to take no more suspicious calls and stop using their computer.
The incident was classified as a felony theft by extortion.

Deputies arrest woman for leaving dog in hot car
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A 47-yearold Alpharetta woman was arrested on animal cruelty charges after she allegedly left her dog in a 113-degree vehicle July 11.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were dispatched to a Peachtree Parkway business about 2 p.m.
Deputies found a Chihuahuadachshund mix inside a parked vehicle. A back window was cracked open 6-8 inches.
The 20-pound, 15-year-old dog appeared to be in extreme distress, panting heavily and foaming at the mouth.
Deputies measured the temperature of the vehicle with an infrared thermometer.
The woman said she had left the dog inside the vehicle for about an hour while she was getting her hair cut at a salon. She said she believed the outside temperature to be 83 degrees and cool enough to leave the dog in the vehicle.
The sheriff’s office said the temperature at the time was 89 degrees.
Deputies arrested the woman on a misdemeanor cruelty to animals charge and took her to the county jail.

Home improvement store thwarts attempted theft
ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell police are investigating an attempted theft of around $4,000 in merchandise from a home improvement store off Holcomb Bridge Road July 9 after loss prevention stopped a patron at check-out.
The caller told an officer that the suspect attempted to conceal merchandise totaling $3,958 from a cashier. The employee said the cashier saw the customer attempt to conceal items in her cart by arranging the merchandise to hide more expensive goods.
When the cashier attempted to scan the items, the woman told him that she no longer wanted to purchase them.
The suspect is described as Romanian female with blonde hair, wearing a blue and white sundress. The employee said she left the store on foot toward Holcomb Bridge Road. The officer said store employees reported the incident because of an ongoing shoplifting issue at several Metro Atlanta locations.
One employee said the same female suspect attempted to shoplift from a store in Greenville, South Carolina, using the same method.

Visitor reports fraud totaling close to $4,000
ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell police met with a 26-year-old man from Clarksville, Tennessee, July 8 after he reported falling victim to a deceptive and fraudulent scheme.
The victim told officers at Roswell Police Headquarters that he was visiting a friend from out of town and staying at an Airbnb within the city. He said he was deceived into transferring $3,469.55 into a fraudulent account, given to him by an unidentified suspect.
The police report said the incident remains under investigation, and a supplemental report from the Criminal Investigations Division that might have provided more detail was omitted.

Sandy Springs used cameras to assist ICE,
By CARL APPEN carl@appenmedia.com
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Sandy Springs Police have used the city’s contracts with a data collection firm to assist the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) immigration investigations, according to public records and interviews with agency officials.
The practice of local agencies using Flock on behalf of federal partners in this fashion was first reported by 404 Media in May.
Data obtained through public records requests, “shows more than 4,000 nation and statewide lookups by local and state police done either at the behest of the
federal government or as an ‘informal’ favor to federal law enforcement, or with a potential immigration focus,” the outlet reported.
Included in that group of assisting agencies was the Sandy Springs Police Department, according to a review of the data by Appen Media.
As with most neighboring cities, Sandy Springs uses products from Flock Safety, an automated license-plate reader (ALPR) and security software company based in Atlanta. Police departments use ALPRs to identify and log vehicles moving through town, framing the tools as a way to investigate criminal activity.
For example, agencies can maintain
a “hotlist” of reportedly stolen vehicles and receive alerts if cameras spot them.
Law enforcement can also perform searches of identifying information – such as license plate numbers or descriptions – to help locate vehicles they suspect are connected to criminal activity. When departments make these queries, they can search certain databases of other agencies as well, tapping into a nationwide network of sources.
The Flock system, “is trusted by more than 5,000 communities across the country,” according to the company. That number includes all 10 of the cities and counties Appen Media covers in north Metro Atlanta.
The surveillance technology is big business.
The City of Sandy Springs alone spent more than $400,000 with Flock in 2024, according to public records obtained by Appen Media.
According to 404 Media, DHS Immigration and Customs Enforcement does not have its own contract with Flock. If ICE wants to investigate something using the national network of data, they must get another agency that pays for the service to do it on their behalf.
Data at the source of the reporting came from a police department in Danville, Illinois.

Water conservation method pays homeowner dividends
By SARAH COYNE sarah@appenmedia.com
ROSWELL, Ga. — Community members along with 25 rain barrels rolled into the Bill Johnson Community Active Building at Roswell Area Park for a workshop July 12.
The free workshop coordinated by the City of Roswell, Keep Roswell Beautiful, Fulton County and the City of Alpharetta invited community members to come out and learn about the benefits of rain barrels.
City of Roswell Environmental Education Coordinator Liberti Gates helped host the event to educate the attendees about the conservation method.
Gates said that the goal of the workshops is to teach attendees how to install the barrels and why they’re so important.
“Water is a very important resource, but it is finite,” Gates said.
The Environmental and Public Works department staff chose to collaborate on the workshop to promote environmental stewardship and the importance of conservation.
Rain barrels collect rainwater from rooftops via gutters or downspouts. While the water is not potable, the collection can be used for watering
yards, plants and gardens.
“This water is coming from the sky anyways, so why not use it,” Gates said.
Twenty-five people attended the class.
Keep Roswell Beautiful board member Rip Campbell said he was happy to find out that there was a waitlist.
“I think it's because we partnered with Fulton County, and we're grateful for that relationship, too,” he said.
The group, actively looking for new members, cultivates environmental stewardship within the community.
The rain barrel workshop is just one of the many ways the group educates the community.
The attendees were given barrels, an installation kit and a presentation on the water conservation method.
Keep Roswell Beautiful board member Nancy Womack helped round up the barrels through her employer, Greif. In between orders for customers, the company creates swirl barrels, which are the incorrect colors. The imperfect barrels are donated to Keep Roswell Beautiful and the city.
Those who were unable to attend the workshop can purchase a rain barrel and kit for $65 at keeproswellbeautiful.org.

Sandy Springs outpaces area cities in police pursuits
By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
NORTH METRO ATLANTA — The Sandy Springs Police Department has a more aggressive vehicle pursuit policy than surrounding jurisdictions, leading to more high-speed chases and risky maneuvers to stop suspects.
In 2024, Sandy Springs officers engaged in more than twice the number of car chases than police in Alpharetta, Dunwoody and Roswell combined, according to interviews and an analysis by Appen Media.
Law enforcement officials agree that the decision to pursue fleeing motorists is a balancing act; departments must weigh the risk for officers, suspects and bystanders against the danger of not apprehending the suspect at that time.
How Sandy Springs police make that calculation is what sets them apart from neighboring cities.
Guidance from the Department of Justice in 2023 recommends that pursuits should take place when two conditions are met, “(1) A violent crime has been committed and (2) the suspect poses an imminent threat to commit another violent crime.”
The DOJ report also recommends law enforcement officials set policies for their departments that detail the requirements to initiate a pursuit, how to evaluate whether it should continue and instructions on documenting incidents.
Sandy Springs’ policy says the goal of a pursuit is to reduce the danger to the public by stopping a fleeing vehicle as soon as possible. Neighboring police departments have different philosophies.
Alpharetta, Roswell and Dunwoody policies prohibit officers from pursuing vehicles based on traffic charges alone. Following the DOJ’s direction, Alpharetta and Roswell
also say pursuits should be avoided if it’s evident the suspect could be apprehended at a later time.
Sandy Springs relies on a more situational approach, allowing pursuits based on the “totality of circumstances.”
In 2024, Alpharetta reported five police pursuits, Roswell documented 10 and Dunwoody logged two.
Sandy Springs officers engaged in at least 41 car chases in 2024, according to an Appen Media analysis.
That’s up from 2023, when Sandy Springs reported 17 pursuits.
Major policy change
Department officials attributed the rise to a “major policy change” in 2024.
The new, amended policy allows for more discretion or freedom for officers, allowing them to pursue a fleeing vehicle if they have reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed or is about to occur.
Available data on the pursuits are scant.
Of the 41 chases identified by Appen Media, the city provided Vehicle Pursuit Reports on 13.
It withheld the remaining documents, saying the underlying cases were pending investigation.
In the 13 provided reports, there were a range of suspected crimes at the pursuits’ inception, from speeding and improper license plates to outstanding warrants and armed robbery.
Officers caught and arrested suspects in about half the cases. The others got away.
Sandy Springs officers conducted PIT, box-in or other forced termination techniques in at least 12 of those pursuits.
A PIT, or precision immobilization technique, is a method used by law enforcement to make contact with a vehicle, forcing it to abruptly turn 180 degrees and
stall.
Alpharetta, Roswell and Dunwoody officials told Appen Media they conducted zero forced termination maneuvers in 2024.
“I can’t remember the last time we did a PIT,” Alpharetta Police Captain J. Braithwaite said.
Appen Media asked Sandy Springs Police spokesman Sgt. Leon Millholland why the department has a more aggressive pursuit policy than surrounding cities.
“We’re not going to tolerate crime in the city. We have the support from our city officials, and the chief wants crime delt with,” Millholland said. “That’s where it comes from, its leadership. The citizens of Sandy Springs … we continually hear that’s what they want.”
Appen Media published two stories in December 2024 and January 2025 about the Sandy Springs Police Department conducting high-speed chases on state highways and interstates and executing PIT maneuvers.
The Sandy Springs Police Department has posted footage of some its pursuits, ending in box-ins or PIT maneuvers on its Facebook page.
Most comments show support for the officers’ actions and the department’s policies.
Others bring up the danger posed to bystanders and the public.
Risks of injuries
The DOJ’s report cited, “there were two serious injuries and 10 minor injuries for every 100 pursuits,” from 2009 to 2013.
Hugh Clements, director of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, said high-speed chases should not be a routine part of law enforcement work.
“The safety of fleeing suspects, their passengers, pursuing officers and uninvolved bystanders are too important to risk on a regular basis,” Clements wrote. “But there are times when the importance of apprehending the suspect in a timely manner means that pursuit is necessary despite these dangers.”
The Sandy Springs Police Department’s policy states “officers who engage in vehicle pursuits must continually balance the need to pursue against all known or apparent risks posed to the general public.”
In July 2024, two Sandy Springs officers pursued a vehicle into the City of Roswell. One officer drove off the road, disabling his vehicle, attempting to make a turn at 80 mph. A second officer negotiated the turn, but the police supervisor canceled the pursuit.
Meanwhile, another officer, just off duty, had turned around on his way home to join the pursuit, at one point reaching speeds of 87 mph on Riverside Drive, 88 mph on Dunwoody Place and 93 mph on Roswell Road.
He continued on the chase for another 30 seconds after the pursuit was canceled, according to the department’s analysis of the incident.
In that report, the department critiqued two additional officers who responded to the scene despite being “not within the vicinity of the pursuit.” One of those officers were clocked at 124 mph on Ga. 400. The other officer, a detective, reached a speed of 90 mph and continued with emergency equipment on for 21 seconds after the supervisor’s cancelation announcement.
The vehicle escaped.
Another pursuit in December over a broken tag light ended in two PIT maneuvers conducted in an apartment complex parking lot off Cimarron Parkway. Police Chief DeSimone ruled the officer’s actions were “unnecessary PIT attempt and not within policy.”
Pursuit training delayed
Sandy Springs schedules pursuit trainings for its officers every two years to keep up with legal updates and changes in techniques or vehicles, Police Sgt. Millholland said.
“It’s not a recertification; it’s a refamiliarization because we’re not required by law to
be certified in PIT maneuvers,” Milholland told Appen Media. “The training that we do every two years is a brief familiarization [with] any legal updates, any change in techniques or that have been discovered, or any change in vehicles, you know, anything that needs to be addressed.
Because of an increase in mandated training hours from 400 to 800, Millholland said Sandy Springs is still attempting to schedule its “refamiliarization” at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center (GPSTC) in the city of Forsyth.
“Right now, our training division is reaching out, and they’ve got a couple of possibilities going right now,” Millholland said. “We will get this scheduled second half of this year to do this refamiliarization … it’s in the process of being scheduled.”
How affordable is it to live in North Fulton?
By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
Community engagement is an essential part of Appen Media’s newsroom strategy.
That’s why reporters for the Herald and Crier newspapers seek out all sorts of reader questions. Sometimes those inquiries don’t lead to standalone stories because of time constraints or, more simply, the answers can be short.
Here is a question Appen has received and the answer your reporter dug up.
What is the cost of living in Fulton County?
Essential workers in North Fulton cities, including teachers, public safety personnel and mechanics, often live outside of
the region in more affordable communities.
In early May, Roswell resident Courtney Rozear asked a series of questions about housing attainability and average wages for workers after the city shut down the Economy Hotel off Old Dogwood Road.
The cost of living for the average family of four in Fulton County requires an annual household income of $107,508, according to a 2022 study from United for ALICE.
In comparison, the “household survival budget” for a family of four in Butts County is $77,856.
Georgia United Ways produced the statewide report documenting the number of households below the federal poverty level.
The report also included the number of ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained,
Employed) households, which earn above poverty levels but not enough to afford the basics in the communities where they live.
The North Fulton Improvement Network, a local think tank dedicated to workforce housing, income and employment, transportation, child well-being and food security, cited the study in a June 2025 report.
In North Fulton cities, Sandy Springs leads the pack with 8 percent of households below poverty level and 32 percent of them ALICE.
Financial hardship varies by location, and there are not cost of living estimates for individual North Fulton cities.
Roswell is in the middle of the pack in North Fulton with 5 percent of households below poverty level and 31 percent of them ALICE.

Johns Creek has the lowest percentage of households below poverty level in the region, while Milton has the lowest percentage of ALICE households.
Across Fulton County, 67 percent of individuals under age 25 are below poverty level or unable to afford necessities in their community. But when compared to the 13-county metro area, Fulton has the least amount of young people in the category.
Empty nester fulfills dream in business
By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
DUNWOODY, Ga — Nida Mudd has slowed down enough now to talk about her new retail business.
“In May of 2024, I was very deep into trying to get everything set up … it couldn’t have been a busier time in my life,” Mudd said. “I do feel like someone above was definitely helping me get to where I am today because I couldn’t have done it without my friends and, you know, some outside force helping me.”
Judy & Grace Boutique is a new women’s fashion destination within the Shops of Dunwoody in the Village on the west side of Chamblee Dunwoody Road.
Nida Mudd and her husband Todd met as college students at Mizzou, the University of Missouri. They have lived on the Dunwoody-Sandy Springs border for more than three decades, sending their four children to Saint Jude the Apostle Catholic Church and then the Marist School.
“When my oldest child was going into his senior year, I had decided, ‘you know what, I think I’m going to stop working altogether and just pursue the mommy track,’” she said. “But what I found is that I was just busier than ever working on things for the school, you know, doing various things on various boards.”
The idea for a boutique came a couple of years ago when her youngest child and only daughter, Mattie Grace, was a junior in high school.
“I was just reflecting and thinking to myself, ‘what am I going to do next?’ I’m kind of a worker person,” she said. “I’m not a sit around at home, cleaning … you know, just domestic. That just wasn’t in my blood.”
Preserving family names
Nida said the name of the boutique honors the two most important women in her life: her mother, Judy, and Mattie Grace. After giving her a little seed money for the business, Nida said she decided to
put her mother’s name in the store.
“She’s in her mid-80s, and I know that there’s going to be a day that she’s not going to be with me,” Nida said. “I wanted her name in my store name in order to for me to remember her always.”
Nida said Judy & Grace Boutique is geared toward women with a “stylish, timeless and fabulous” vibe.
Mudd approached her husband, Todd, with the idea of opening a boutique, and he suggested she first get some experience working in a store. So, she approached the
owner of Nancy’s Boutique, which she frequently patronized, with an offer of working as a substitute employee without pay.
“I started subbing at Nancy’s for a little bit,” Nida said. “After working there for three or four months, I decided ‘you know what, this is something I would like to pursue.’”
Nancy’s Boutique closed its doors when the owner retired amid health concerns in January 2024, leaving Nida without someone experienced to bounce ideas off of.
“I don’t know how I did it, now that
I’m talking to you about it, I honestly am not sure how it all happened,” she said. “I hired a couple of consultants, [and] they became my friends… and I couldn’t have done all that because I had really had no idea.”
While she didn’t have retail experience, her career background is in sales and marketing. Nida said she was extremely busy buying fixtures, hiring people and selecting inventory in the first half of 2024.

“I had inventory, but having to steam [out wrinkles in] the inventory, unbox it, count it, put it into a system, find a point-of-sale system, purchase one, print the prices and stick them on all the clothing,” she said. “I mean, if you can just think of that process, I knew none of it.”
Finding the right spot
Nida said she was eyeing a lease of Nancy’s former space for her own shop, but the popular chain Summit Coffee was a more attractive tenant to the shopping center’s leasing team.
The popular coffee spot has been a boon for surrounding businesses at the Shops of Dunwoody with increased foot traffic, Nida said.
Last April, she signed a lease of 1,250 square feet between Palm Beach Tan and the Dunwoody Tavern.
“I don’t like to take no for an answer, and I’m willing to take on a challenge,” Nida said. “If I don’t know something, I’m going to do what I can to try to learn about it. A lot of it is just my girlfriends just being there and saying, ‘you can do this and let’s do it.’”
After a soft opening in November 2024, the boutique had its official grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony with Dunwoody officials and community leaders in late February.
When Dunwoody Mayor Lynn Deutsch asked her if she was a city resident, Nida said they had a laugh because technically her home is in Sandy Springs. However, Nida identifies as a Dunwoodian.
“What’s so funny is that Dunwoody incorporated after I moved here,” she said. “So, when I moved here, I was technically in Dunwoody … it’s just where they drew the line.”
Monsignor Joe Corbett from Saint Jude the Apostle Catholic Church and Rabbi Brian Glusman from the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta gave blessings at the ribbon-cutting at Nida’s invitation.
She said there’s no other place she would have raised her children than Central Perimeter. Her identity is intertwined with her church community, friends throughout Dunwoody and work with a local Jewish educational nonprofit.
Judy & Grace Boutique invites Metro Atlanta women to visit and enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a “girlfriend vibe” that sets the tone for shopping.
The boutique is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., or by appointment.

Nemaslug® is a snail and slug pestcontrol product sold in England and Canada but not available in the United States. I first learned about this product while investigating a skin infection of a patient, and what I learned emphasizes that our connections with our creepy crawly garden neighbors are a little too close for comfort.
A female in her early 20s presented to clinic with a sore on her face that had been present a few days. It was solitary, several millimeters in size and did not seem like a lesion typical of acne. She was prescribed hydrocortisone 2.5% cream and mupirocin 2% ointment (an antibiotic), and a culture was performed to identify the type of bacteria present. Three days later, the results returned positive for Moraxella osloensis (M. osloensis). We were prepared to
Moraxella is a genus of gram negative bacteria that normally colonize the human respiratory tract. In medical school, we typically learn about Moraxella catarrhalis, which is a frequent cause of ear infection and pneumonia. Its cousin M. osloensis is almost never discussed due to its rarity. However, there are over fifty case reports in the medical literature of M. osloensis causing infections in both children and adults. Infections range from pneumonia to blood infections, genital sores and even brain infection. Sometimes, this bacteria has been found in the area of a cancer. One case report of a brain tumor found to contain M. osloensis pointed out that it is not known whether the bacteria caused the tumor or

If you are moving across the street, chances are you won’t need to change your Medicare plan; however, if you are moving to a different county, across town, or to another state you’ll need to get in touch with your Medicare insurance agent to make a change.
When you move outside of your Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan’s service area, you’ll have new plan options and possibly different insurance carriers offered in your new county of residence. It is important to update your Medicare insurance plan in order to receive full plan benefits, have access to doctors, and to avoid being disenrolled from your plan.
Even if it’s not within the Annual Enrollment Period, Medicare will grant you a Special Enrollment Period to make a change when moving outside of the plan’s service area. The Special Enrollment Period begins the month you notify the insurance company of your move and remains available for two months.
Are you moving to be closer to your children and grandchildren, or maybe you’re moving to the North Georgia mountains or the Florida coast for retirement? Whether it’s Atlanta, North Georgia, or another state we can help! SeniorSource Medicare Solutions is currently licensed in 16 States and can help with your Medicare plan transition whether you are new to Georgia or relocating to another state. If you have questions about moving, and how it may affect your Medicare insurance coverage, give us a call today! Call us at (770) 315-8145 or visit our website at www. SeniorSourceMedicare.com.

whether the tumor provided a hospitable environment for the infection. Most interestingly, M. osloensis does not just piggyback on cancers. Rather, this type of Moraxella likes to piggyback on worms – nematodes to be precise. Nematodes, also called “eelworms” or “threadworms” are small round slender worms that infect a wide variety of animals and humans. The type of worm that infects salmon meat is in fact a nematode and is the reason one should only eat raw fish if it has been sufficiently frozen beforehand.
The same bacteria that infected our patient is actually sold commercially in certain countries outside the United States. Nemaslug® 2.0 contains the nematode P. californica and the bacteria M. osloensis. This nematode infects snails or slugs, but it can only complete its lifecycle and kill the snail if the bacteria M. osloensis is also present. Scientists believe that M. osloensis helps the nematode kill the snail by releasing a bacterial toxin that causes blood poisoning and death. The nematode and its side-kick M. osloensis both replicate and proliferate. The nematode needs
the bacteria to kill the snail. The bacteria needs the nematode because the nematode is mobile and can wriggle its way to its next snail or slug. Nemaslug® 2.0 is not sold in the United States out of concern that it could harm our native and sometimes helpful snail and slug species with specific concern for species in the Pacific Northwest.
Our patient did not use Nemaslug® 2.0 on her face. She did mention having a new boyfriend. Because M. osloensis is a normal colonizer of the human respiratory tract, it is possible that our patient already had this bacteria in her own respiratory tract and happened to infect her own skin. However, since she had not experienced a similar lesion in the past, it is more likely that that she accidentally came into contact with this bacteria during contact with another human such as her new boyfriend.
From case reports in the medical literature, we know that M. osloensis can very rarely cause blood poisoning in humans. Perhaps we are more closely related to snails than we would like, or perhaps M. osloensis just makes a toxin that is highly effective across vastly different species. Regardless, I know I am not kissing snails anytime soon, especially if they look under the weather.

Access Forsyth Director Roy Rickert said ridership and costs have increased sharply since the COVID-19 pandemic. The current fare rate has been maintained since 2011.
“In an effort to be good stewards of public funds, it is important to control these costs, so that we can continue to provide transportation services to those with no other options,” Rickert said. “Raising fares is not something that is taken lightly.”
To schedule a ride, call 770781-2195 for Access Forsyth and 678-9653267 for Common Courtesy. More information is available at forsythco.com.

“Sports tourism continues to be a key part of Alpharetta’s visitor mix, bringing in athletes, their families and fans, who stay, dine and shop locally,” Jupin said.
The tournament generated about 850 room nights, contributing an estimated $183,600 in hotel revenue. Between games, visitors also ate out at local fastfood and sit-down restaurants, perused shops and picked up last-minute supplies at gas stations, groceries, convenience stores and sporting goods shops. Huntsville mom Allison Huter said she made a last minute trip to Dick’s Sporting Goods for a shin guard and other items after her daughter Livy suffered a hit to her ankle.

The agency had given researchers a copy of their Flock “Network Audit,” which is a record of each time another department searched Danville’s data. When law enforcement performs searches in Flock they must record a reason for the query.
Appen Media identified 10 searches Sandy Springs police made of Danville’s network for “ero,” or ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, in March. When asked about the queries, Sandy Springs officials told Appen Media they were not aware of any recent assistance

Both services are the product of Link Forsyth, the county's first public transportation master plan, in 2021.
The county’s Dial-a-Ride service was rebranded as Access Forsyth in 2022.
“This service is beneficial for those in need of a way to get to medical appointments, shopping, places of employment, education, personal errands and more,” the county said previously. “The system benefits the local community by promoting local businesses and services.”
MARTA offers limited bus service along the southern edge of Forsyth County and no routes to Cumming. The Transit Link Authority provides a commuter route to Cumming.
Rickert said residents have commented positively and negatively about the rate increases.
Three residents were against the increases, saying they may have to reduce the number of trips they take.
One person said they understood it was necessary but added they also disliked the price change.

During their five-day stay, the family lodged at a short-term rental and ate Einstein Bros bagels, Chick-fil-A and Taco Bell. After a Friday afternoon game, Huter said she was looking forward to getting some relief from the day’s sweltering heat by splurging on some margaritas at a local Mexican restaurant.
Triple Crown has hosted tournaments in Alpharetta and other North Metro Atlanta cities since 2015.
The tournament returned to Alpharetta this year for its 10th tournament, in part because of the excellent sporting fields and facilities, said Scott Crawford, an event director for Triple Crown Sports. Teams played on 20 fields across nine different locations.
There are few communities in the U.S. with so many fields within a short driving distance of one another, he said.
the department had given for ERO efforts.
Police representatives said the officer recorded as making the searches is a detective assigned to the department’s FBI task force. They added that Flock inquiries, “are conducted within policy during various criminal investigations, drug investigations and locating wanted individuals.”
As with other local departments, Sandy Springs assigns officers to standing groups that partner with federal law enforcement agencies. SSPD says they have personnel on task forces with the FBI, DHS’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Appen Media asked why it would be the FBI attachment, and not the
“A big part of the reason (for coming) is because you have so many facilities in such a small radius,” Crawford said. “And I don't want to undershoot the importance of the quality of those facilities.”
Well-maintained fields, ample parking and excellent facilities were just a few of the reasons Triple Crown has repeatedly visited Alpharetta, he said.
Families also love the city’s sense of safety, nearness to a major airport and proximity to numerous recreational destinations elsewhere in Metro Atlanta.
Like many other families watching the games, Wesley Chapel, Fla., father Anthony Stephens said he was doing his best to turn his visit to Alpharetta into a mini vacation.
Stephens said he planned to take his daughter Skylah to the Georgia Aquarium. Huta said she was thinking of attending a Braves game or simply playing some corn-
HSI detective, assisting with removal operations considering ICE falls under Homeland Security.
Police representatives said they were unsure but suggested it could be part of a joint operation.
FBI officials told Appen Media that the Atlanta office has been working with DHS on immigration operations since the end of January, “which includes assigning a number of our special agents to work with them daily.”
“That assistance requires providing investigative and technical support to HSI with the resources that we and our partners have access to,” they said.
FBI officials said they could not speak to the specifics of the Sandy Springs officer’s use of Flock other than

Stephens said he was so impressed by the city that he was considering moving there.
Crawford said Alpharetta has remained a top-tier host city for years also because of the cooperation by city and Awesome Alpharetta officials.
He praised the work of staff like Awesome Alpharetta’s Director of Sports Sales Anna Mikell and Park Supervisor Chris Anderson. Those staff made coming to Alpharetta easy, coordinating with almost every aspect of the competition from lodging to marketing.
Awesome Alpharetta is discussing building on that success by potentially bringing an additional tournament to the city next year.
“That's a big thing to talk about because longevity speaks volumes in our world of sports,” Crawford said.
the general nature of collaborative work.
“We approach public safety as a collaborative effort, using all available law enforcement tools and resources to achieve the common goal of removing violent offenders from our streets,” they offered.
Following 404 Media’s reporting, Flock began to dampen the system’s data-sharing functions. The company stopped agencies from searching the camera networks of departments inside Illinois, California and Virginia.
In a June statement CEO Garret Langley wrote that the burden is on law enforcement to use the software responsibly: “The point is: it is a local decision. Not my decision, and not Flock’s decision.”
