Area veterans, Korean Consul diplomats mark 70th anniversary of Korean War

770-442-3278 | NorthFulton.com 319 N. Main Street, Alpharetta, GA 30009

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Ambassadors from South Korea’s Atlanta consulate recently paid a visit to Johns Creek to recognize the 70th anniversary of the Korean War. About 60 people gathered at the Korean War plaza at the Veterans Memorial Walk in Newtown Park to honor the troops and civilians who lost their lives in the fight for freedom and democracy in Korea.

The event was organized by the Korean American Association of Greater Atlanta.

The war began June 25, 1950, when 75,000 North Korean troops marched across the 38th parallel into South Korea. In South Korea, the war is usually referred to as the 6.25 upheaval, reflecting the date of its commencement.

By July, American troops had entered the war to defend democratic South Korea against the Soviet-backed North Korea forces.

The Korean War ended in July 1953, after nearly 5 million people had died.

More than half of the casualties — about 10 percent of Korea’s prewar population — were civilians. Around 40,000 Americans died in action in Korea, and more than 100,000 were wounded.

“I never realized how much that war meant to people there in terms of just how much upheaval there was,” said Johns Creek Councilman John Bradberry, who was a featured speaker at the event. “There were more civilian deaths as a percentage of the population than Vietnam or World War II. That was eyeopening.”

In the U.S., some refer to Korea as “the Forgotten War” for the lack of attention it receives relative to conflicts like World War II and the Vietnam War. “I’m always glad to honor the people that served,” said Bradberry, a Marine veteran himself. “I think that for the people from Korea, obviously there’s a

reason that so many of them eventually came to the United States. It’s because there was so much destruction, pain and sacrifice. For them, it’s still very important.”

Around 3,000 Koreans or people of Korean ancestry live in Johns Creek, and 53,000 live in the state of Georgia, according to U.S. Census Data.

“When I spoke, I just encouraged everyone to share their stories because a lot of people, especially the younger generation, have no idea about what happened,” Bradberry said. “Korean Americans a lot of times are some of the most patriotic Americans because they understand what was at stake.”

ATL sets deadline for added, revised transit project lists

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The metro region’s transit planning agency will close entries July 10 for a Call for Projects it issued last month to give project sponsors the opportunity to submit new or make updates/changes to existing projects.

The Atlanta Region Transit Link Authority (the ATL) is studying close to 200 projects for funding in the 13-county metro region, including DeKalb, Fulton and Forsyth counties. The newly submitted and updated projects will form the basis of short-term (six-year) and longterm (20-year) transit priorities for the region. The prioritized project lists are designed to give the agency a strategy to help target additional state and federal investments, according to Deidre Johnson, ATL public information officer.

The final plan will be submitted to the Atlanta Regional Commission late this year for inclusion in the federally required short-range Transportation Improvement Program and the long-range Regional Transportation Plan. The documents guide allocation of federal, state and local funding for all regionally significant transportation investment in the Atlanta Region.

At its June board of director’s meeting, the ATL board reviewed a timeline that will allow it to finalize a regional transportation program report by the end of the year.

Over the course of the summer, projects will be prioritized based on the ATL’s Project Performance Framework as well as prioritized by the project timelines identified and submitted by individual agencies, cities and counties.

The schedule also calls for another series of “district downloads,” town-hallstyle information sessions that will be held in early fall at different locations throughout the region.

Fulton County mails 2020 property assessments FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County has sent property owners have their 2020 assessment notices.

This year for the first time, more than 17,000 property owners opted to receive their notices by email.

Property assessment notices are not tax bills. Under Georgia law, notices are issued annually and reflect property values as of January 1, 2020.

Property owners who do not believe the value on their notice reflects their

The latest list of projects range in cost and scope from CobbLinc’s $800,000 transit signal priority plan to MARTA’s $1.4 billion proposed heavy rail line to Stonecrest in DeKalb County.

Other projects with varying price tags include renovation of pedestrian bridges at $6.3 million and MARTA’s North Fulton bus rapid transit service along Ga. 400 at $300 million.

Last fall, the ATL staff culled the original project list to 79 projects that have been identified as having assumed federal or state discretionary funding sources. The 79 projects were evaluated based on 14 criteria that basically rated their impact.

Each project was then assigned a numerical value and charted based on how much bang it would provide for the buck, according to Lori Sand, planner with the ATL. The ATL has scheduled three meetings this month.

The Transit Planning Committee is set to hear a 2020 Legislative Session review and discuss a presentation on Gwinnett County’s plan to schedule another referendum on MARTA rail service. Gwinnett County commissioners voted June 16 to lay the groundwork to give county voters the opportunity — possibly this fall — to adopt a special sales tax to fund incorporation into the transit system, which serves DeKalb, Fulton and Clayton counties.

Gwinnett voters rejected the idea in a referendum held in March 2019, but proponents say the issue might fare better if placed on the ballot during the presidential election. property’s fair market value as of January 1 have 45 days from the date printed on the notice to file an appeal. It is recommended that appeals be filed online, but they may be submitted in person or by mail.

Homeowners will also see homestead exemptions reflected on their notice of assessment. Residents who do not have homestead exemptions in place may apply online for exemptions that will take effect in 2021.

Fulton County will begin construction on major upgrades to the Big Creek Water Reclamation Facility on Marietta Highway.

Water reclamation facility expansion nears construction

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Preliminary construction on expanding the Big Creek Water Reclamation Facility is expected to begin this year, according to project leaders who participated in a June 25 virtual meeting.

The plant property located at 1030 Marietta Highway serves the Big Creek watershed in North Fulton — including Roswell, Alpharetta and portions of Johns Creek and Milton — as well as areas of Forsyth and Cobb counties. It is the largest water reclamation facility in North Fulton and discharges treated water back into the Chattahoochee River.

The expansion, which comes with a nearly $300 million price tag, will increase the plant’s efficiency and capacity while addressing noise and odor issues that plague the current facility.

The upgrades call for replacing aging equipment, an enclosure for new treatment processes, and demolition of older and underused facilities.

The plant was originally built in 1971, and the expansion will be the largest improvement it has seen since its last expansion in 1991.

The current facility’s treatment capacity is 24 million gallons per day.

The new facility will bring that up to 38 million gallons per day to meet the demands of the area’s growing population, said Fulton County Public Works Director David Clark.

Design plans are now about 80 percent complete for the project.

The new plant will have comparable technology to that used in the Johns

Creek Environmental Campus, Clark said.

Water running through the plant will be treated through several treatment processes, including pore screening, grit removal and primary clarifiers.

“One of the unique things about this site is that it’s configured so everything is pumped to the site,” said Brown and Caldwell Design Manager Kelly Comstock. “The new design accommodates a gravity flow through the entire thing. That was one of the key things we wanted to do during design, and we were able to accomplish that. That’s exciting, because you don’t have to pump flow on the site, where you’re talking about large volumes of water and large operating costs to continue to pump.”

The new facility will help further reduce waste in the Chattahoochee River by removing contaminants, ammonia and suspended solids.

“By doing this project, we’re actually going to be making the water quality in the river better than it is now, even though we’re discharging ultimately higher flow rates,” Comstock said. “That really shows you the power of these technologies that are going to be implemented.”

Clark said the team is nearing the completion of Phase 2A of the project, which included structure and utility demolition as well as rerouting utilities. Preliminary construction for the next phase, which includes building construction, is expected to begin in the coming months, he said.

The new facility is expected to be complete and in use by 2024.

Fulton County prepares for return to school Aug. 17 District officials unveil plans

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton School System leaders are touting a “culture of clean” as they prepare schools to re-open Aug. 17 with enhanced safety measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Social distancing, reworked classrooms and face masks are among the long list of issues to be addressed in the next six weeks.

“It is our intent to offer a face-to-face [instruction] for families willing to send their children to school,” Superintendent Mike Looney said. “There is a way for us to have school in the safest way possible that respects the different perspectives in our community.”

Hundreds of comments had been posted to the district’s Facebook page in the past week, some divided between those ready for schools to open and those hesitant to send their kids to schools until the “all clear” is sounded.

Looney said a return to the classroom is the optimal choice, however remote learning options will be offered for those unwilling, or unable, to return to the classroom.

“We are responding to a community health crisis, and I don’t want to mislead a single person [that] there is an adequate replacement for teacher and students in classroom, learning and working together,” Looney said. “[However] we are going to do the very best we can with remote learning.”

The school district has expanded the portfolio of online learning to include remote options for grades 1-8 and virtual high school for grades 9-12. Students in high school remote learning will be able to remain enrolled in their home school,

but they will not be allowed to participate in non-virtual extracurricular activities.

Kindergarten parents only have the option of in-school learning. Georgia law does not mandate students attend kindergarten. Pre-K classes will not be offered.

Looney explained remote options are fulltime programs with no “mixed” enrollment, some in school and some virtual. All students must actively engage in a full school day, five days a week.

Significant parent involvement will likely be needed for younger children.

“Families have to make a semesterlong commitment for face-to-face or virtual because we have to staff appropriately,” Looney said.

Parents have until July 17 to register their child for remote learning. The application is on the district’s website (www.fultonschools.org).

Positive cases of COVID-19 began climbing again in late June, prompting new concerns for school districts.

In a presentation to the Fulton County School Board, the district’s top health leader said there were some positive signs in the facts and figures.

“We all have the same amount of concern, but we need to put it in perspective,” said Lynne Meadows, coordinator of Student Health Services.

She said the rate of infection, primarily among young people under 40 is rising, but overall deaths and hospitalizations from COVID continue to trend down.

According to the Georgia Department of Public Health, there has been one death from COVID under the age 18 as of June 30.

“Young folks can infect older folks, so we have to continue with social distancing and follow the CDC guidelines,” Meadows said.

Looney said the decisions regarding school opening lies with the community and the actions they take to control the CDAR Member SWIFT Code: GMCBUS3A

District faces criticism for face mask guidelines

Six weeks from the planned opening of Fulton County schools on Aug. 17, district leaders acknowledge much of the decision-making is based on current risks and directives.

The education landscape may look much different by then, but decisions still must be made now.

One issue garnering attention is the decision to mandate face masks for all employees, but only for students while riding on buses.

In the classroom and in the hallways, students are encouraged, but not mandated, to wear face masks.

That decision could change.

“Families and teachers have been communicating various opinions about this subject, and we are listening,” said Fulton Superintendent Mike Looney. “Between now and August 17th, we will continue to monitor whether public health agencies or the governor change recommendations for masks.”

Gov. Brian Kemp recently concluded a statewide tour to encourage people to wear masks, but he did not indicate a mandate was in the works.

Parents and staff, however, have taken to social media weighing in on the discussion, with opinions strong on both sides. On the Fulton Schools Facebook page, hundreds of comments were logged, including one saying the decision to mandate masks only for teachers is “reckless and unethical.”

Last week Looney aired his own public service announcement asking the public to do their part by wearing a face mask in public to help stop the spread of COVID-19. He said lowering the threat would allow the district to resume school in greater safety.

Current CDC guidelines recommend face coverings in public for those over 2. At the same time, the CDC recognizes that “younger children (preschool or early elementary aged) may be unable to wear a cloth face covering properly, particularly for an extended period of time.”

spread. In a widely viewed public service announcement, Looney urged students, staff and parents to wear face masks in public and take every measure to keep themselves and others healthy.

“Please help us and your children return to school, and put yourself in a position that you are healthy and able to return when it is appropriate,” Looney said.

Johns Creek music school hosts virtual international competition

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — This summer, nearly a hundred music students from across the globe competed in a competition hosted by Johns Creek-based William Pu Music Academy.

The competition included students age 5 to 18 in two age groups and divisions for piano, guitar and strings, including violin, viola, cello and double bass.

While about half the PU competitors came from Georgia, the balance included students from across the United States, Asia, Latin America and Europe. The overall winner, Quang Vo Minh, is a 14-year-old from Vietnam.

“It was quite overwhelming, to our surprise,” William Pu said. “We didn’t have a budget this year to advertise, so we just sent it out through our social media. To get this response is quite encouraging.”

Last year, Pu teamed up with other music instructors to host the inaugural

Atlanta Festival Academy in Johns Creek and Sandy Springs. The nine-day event included 70 violin and cello students who participated in music workshops, cumulating in public concerts that featured the students and internationally renowned musicians.

“It was a great success last year,” Pu said. “We had two sold out concerts.”

Pu has dreams of holding the event annually and making it something that shines an international spotlight on Atlanta. He said it was “devastating” when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancelation of the festival’s second year, but he did not want to let the summer go by without promoting music education in some way.

“The purpose of this online competition is to encourage students who have been staying home for three months or longer,” Pu said. “So, they have something to work for and prepare for.”

Pu said he saw “unprecedented enthusiasm” from the students he helped prepare for the contest. The virtual nature of the competition helped students who otherwise would struggle with confidence, thrive, he said.

Finosec joins ranks of Innovation Center graduates Firm helps companies navigate cybersecurity, regulatory compliance

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Tech Alpharetta is celebrating the first graduate of 2020 from its Innovation Center program.

Finosec, a fintech startup that assists financial institutions in navigating cybersecurity and regulatory compliance, has established headquarters in the city on McGinnis Ferry Road. The company has eight employees Tech Alpharetta’s Innovation Center, launched in 2015, serves as a tech startup incubator in Alpharetta that provides education, mentoring and other resources to its startup members to help them grow and succeed. Finosec joined Tech Alpharetta’s incubator in early 2018.

Finosec President and founder Zach DUKE Duke built the company during its tenure at the incubator.

“Tech Alpharetta’s Innovation Center connected Finosec to essential resources that directly and positively impacted the company’s progress by accelerating our speed to market,” Duke said, adding that expansion may be in the future.

“Obviously, bringing on customers is the first requisite for adding additional staff, and having great technology is part of that process,” he said.

Duke, who lives in Milton, said headquartering in Alpharetta made sense.

“The technology talent in Alpharetta is really unparalleled,” he said. “We talk a lot about Fin-Tech Alley (tech firms specializing in financial services), but there’s just a lot of great, technical talent in Alpharetta. And being headquartered where the talent is is a critical concern for us.”

Finosec’s platform enables its customers to automate and easily validate labor-intensive tasks that are required to keep banking systems secure and meet regulatory expectations.

Duke said he has found strong traction in the market for Finosec’s platform. He also called Tech Alpharetta’s assistance invaluable.

“Building a company starting from nothing is extremely hard,” he said.

“Having an accelerator that makes it so you don’t have to start from scratch — wow, does it help you.”

Tech Alpharetta CEO, Karen Cashion said the Innovation Center is home to 48 tech startups currently receiving mentoring, coaching, investor relationships and other services.

“We try to provide the additional things all startups need to grow their companies,” Cashion said.

Tech Alpharetta, which receives some of its funding from the city, was challenged last year by the City Council to begin laying the groundwork for selfsufficiency. The nonprofit had received $125,000 in annual funding through the city’s Development Authority up to then.

Last fall, after the organization bolstered its board membership and met other benchmarks, the council approved a three-year funding contract for $100,000 annually.

NEWBUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Tech Alpharetta’s Innovation Center, launched in 2015, serves as a tech startup incubator in Alpharetta that provides education, mentoring and other resources to its startup members to help them grow and succeed.

“It’s been a process,” Cashion said.

“Our organization was actually created by the city in 2013, and we’re really an economic engine for Alpharetta.”

Today, Tech Alpharetta has 30 tech companies represented on its board of directors. Its goal is to graduate at least two new firms a year from its incubator.

The Innovation Center has had 12 companies graduate since it began in 2015, nine of them are located in Alpharetta.

Job creation is simple to track by company, but some studies suggest that tech jobs have a multiplier effect on other jobs. Enrico Moretti, economist with the University of California, Berkeley, says each new tech job creates five additional jobs in the service section.

Tech Alpharetta uses a common algorithm that places the number at 4.3 new service sector jobs.

“Just on their own, our graduates have already created 111 high-paying tech jobs for the city — those nine companies that headquartered in the city,” Cashion said. “Using that algorithm, that’s 477 new jobs total for Alpharetta that our graduates have created.”

High schoolers offer free dance fitness classes

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Niyomi Shah, a rising junior at Northview High School, was looking for a way to give back to her community during the COVID-19 pandemic and found the answer in her lifelong passion: dance.

Along with three other high schoolers, Shah founded The Dancing Feet, offering free virtual dance fitness classes. Shah said dance is a great way to not only stay physically healthy, but also for self-expression and uplifting a low mood.

“I decided to start Dancing Feet because I saw that the need for fitness and mental health was being affected negatively because of this pandemic,” Shah said.

“I wanted to take this opportunity to give back to the community by tying my passion for dance and fitness.”

Shah, Nira Patel, Ridhi Thumar and Nayna Shah have all been students at Kruti Dance Academy, an Indian dance school in Gwinnett County, for around 10 years. Niyomi Shah credited directors Dina Sheth and Shemoni Parekh for their mentorship over the years.

“We are so grateful to be their disciples as we would not be here without them,” Niyomi said.

Indian dance techniques can be found in the classes the group offers, Niyomi said, but they pulled from a wide range of other influences, including Latin dance and yoga.

“We want to make it inclusive to everyone, but we definitely involve our heritage and mix it a little bit into the dances we choregraph,” she said.

The Dancing Feet is currently offering six courses: • Super Stretch, stretching and dance for ages 8 and under

• Crazy on Cardio, dance fitness featuring a mix of 2000s hip hop and Bollywood Hits for teens • Zealous Zumba, dance fitness for adults set to Latin and international music • Serenity for Seniors, yoga and simple dance steps for ages 60 and up • Jazzercise, dance fitness for all ages • Yoga Fusion, mixes yoga, pilates and dance for all ages “We really wanted to hit all ages,” Niyomi said. “We created one for kids, moms, grandparents, teens.”

Interested participants can go to the website thedancingfeet2020.wixsite.com/freedancelessons. There, they can fill out a form and will be sent a schedule and Zoom link to join the class they choose.

“I want it to be a safe haven from the current situation where people can express themselves freely and restore their mental health and overall fitness,” Niyomi said. “We just want everyone to have fun and feel rejuvenated.”

Niyomi said classes will start out at 30 minutes each, but the schedule may change based on participant interest. She hopes to continue offering classes once she’s back to school this fall.

“We really want to expand it out more and help more communities,” she said. “This is something I would love to continue to do.”

No previous dance experience is necessary to participate in any of the lessons.

“We really want participants to feel uplifted, motivated and to come out with a positive attitude,” Niyomi said. “Dance is not only a form of exercise, but it’s supposed to make you feel better. We just want to spread a sense of hope.”

SPECIAL

Along with three other high schoolers, Niyomi Shah founded The Dancing Feet, offering free virtual dance fitness classes.

Experience the most advanced form of pain relief available Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Brought to you by – Johns Creek Physical Therapy Class IV Laser Therapy is the most advanced pain relief technology available to the public and it’s now available right here in Johns Creek. Laser therapy uses a process called photo-bio-modulation to enhance your body’s ability to heal itself. Laser Therapy works by flooding the tissues with photons, energizing the damaged cells and increasing circulation to the painful area. Treatments are fast, painless and don’t require any down time but the therapeutic effect continues to soothe and heal long after you leave the office.

Laser Therapy is FDA cleared to treat pain, inflammation, arthritis, and muscle spasms and are a great alternative to medications and injections. Laser Therapy can treat a host of conditions including rotator cuff injuries, post operative pain and soreness

(for any surgery), frozen shoulder, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, neck pain, muscle strains, low back pain, migraines, and can even be used to relieve pain associated with diabetic neuropathy.

Johns Creek Physical Therapy, recently voted as the Best Physical Therapy Practice in North Atlanta, is the only medical practice in the area to offer Laser Therapy technology. “I am constantly amazed at what it does for our patients,” says Marc Stewart, PT, owner at Johns Creek Physical Therapy.

COVID-19: Next steps to protect your health • Play it safe. Maintain a safe distance of six feet between yourself and others in public.

• Follow best practices for better health. Practice preventative health measures like frequent handwashing (for at least 20 seconds) and covering coughs and sneezes.

• Be smart about your plans. When possible, visit shared spaces during slower times to avoid crowds and limit contact with others.

• Promote healthy habits at home. Avoid sharing common household items and wash dirty clothes often.

• Take steps to reduce your risk. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

• Create a cleaning routine. Continue cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces in your home such as light switches, doorknobs, phones and sink faucets.

• Stay home if you feel sick. If you aren’t feeling well, stay home to help keep others healthy. However, if you are experiencing an immediate medical emergency, get help right away.

Brought to you by – Wellstar Health System As Georgia experiences rising COVID-19 cases, many people may be concerned about how to protect their health as the pandemic continues. During this time, it’s important to keep practicing safety measures meant to slow the spread of the virus.

According to Wellstar health experts, COVID-19 is still prevalent across the state – and how the community reacts can make a difference.

“As COVID-19 continues to impact the nation and our communities here in Georgia, we must work together to slow the spread of the virus,” said Dr. Chirag Patel, Wellstar Medical Director of Population Health.

“Many people may be experiencing ‘COVID fatigue,’ but mitigating community spread is a long-term and important effort. Now more than ever, making small changes to our routines – such as social distancing and wearing a mask or cloth face covering in public – can help prevent the spread of infection.”

Dr. Patel also empowered people to set an example for their loved ones.

“Be a good role model to the people around you by following safety protocols. Encourage your friends and family to do their part to protect their health too.”

COVID-19 Safety Checklist As more businesses and public spaces reopen, smart safety practices can help prevent the spread of infection and protect high-risk individuals during the pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shared several ways to stay safe: • Wear a mask or cloth face covering in public. Remember to wear a cloth face covering when in close proximity to others. Check mask policies for local businesses before you go and follow their protocols to protect yourself and others around you.

• Keep your circle small. Avoid group events or gatherings with more than ten people.

Health savings tips and tricks Brought to you by – Dr. Brent Taylor, Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta In the increasingly complex world of healthcare, it can be very difficult to keep costs down. When I was in medical school, financial counseling of patients was presented as “not the doctor’s job,” and education provided to medical students about types of insurance, copays, deductibles, coinsurance, the different types of Medicare, etc., was simply not a part of the curriculum. However, helping patients navigate this maze is a vital function of any practice, and respecting physical and financial health need to go hand in hand. The following are a few tips that can really help when navigating the world of insurance and healthcare cost.

1. GoodRx® is an invaluable service that I literally bring up at least ten times per day with my patients.

How do you know that you are getting the best price for a prescription medication? Until a few years ago, I was like everyone else – I assumed pharmacies were all about the same price, and I simply had my prescription sent to the most convenient pharmacy location and paid the price that I was told to pay with my insurance card at checkout. That model should be a relic of the past. Now, for almost every prescription, patients should check the price at goodrx.com or a comparable site before deciding where to have their prescriptions sent. Try it!

Visit GoodRx.com or download the app on your phone and enter in a medication – for example, “fluorouracil” – a common medication in dermatology.

You will see the medication’s prices at local pharmacies which, for some medications, will vary greatly as the pharmacies try to compete for your business. Many times, the medication cost is a fraction of what you would pay if you went through insurance. My family often pays cash using goodrx. com coupons instead of going through insurance because of how great the cost savings are. Also, we often choose to pay for one medication through insurance and another medication through goodrx.com at the same time.

The cost saving can be tremendous.

2. Manufacturer Coupons and Patient Assistance: The main downside of GoodRx® is that it is an alternative to going through insurance, so purchases do not generally count towards your deductible or rx deductible unless your insurance allows you to submit claims on your own and you take the

time to submit qualifying health care expenses. In most cases, the savings from GoodRx® are so great and the headaches of filing with insurance so extreme that most of us will just pay the cash price from GoodRx® and not further submit it to insurance. Unfortunately, some medications are so expensive that even with GoodRx cash prices, medications can be unaffordable paying cash. Furthermore, the Tier status of the medication through insurance can make the medication unaffordable through insurance.

In that case, many companies offer coupons directly on their websites to help insured patients afford their medications. These coupons can offer tremendous savings. And in the era of Covid-19, there are a lot of companies that are truly going above and beyond to help patients. Reps from several companies that make expensive dermatology medications have told me that currently patients who have lost employment or hit hard financial times may be eligible to receive their medication for free or for a reduced cost for a period of time. Patient assistance programs are often available when the above measures are not enough.

Research the manufacturers of medications online and call their patient assistance numbers. For medications such as biologics, the savings can be in the thousands per month and definitely worth a (most likely lengthy) phone call.

3. Rewards Programs: It seems like everyone has a rewards program now, and healthcare is no different.

Loyalty programs such as Brilliant Distinctions® and Aspire® reward patients for repeat treatments. If you ever receive Botox® or Dysport® treatments or any other cosmetic injectable treatment, then you should sign up in advance at brilliantdistinctionsprogram. com or aspirerewards.com and bring your member number with you to clinic for discounts on products and services.

Any reputable dermatology office will likely participate in these programs and help you receive these valuable discounts the next time your kids (or spouses!) are making those glabellar scowl and forehead lines appear.

At Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta, we always strive to treat you like family. Renowned providers Brent Taylor and Kathryn Fililpek are genuinely delighted to go above and beyond to find ways to assist you. If you or a loved one has a skin or vein care or aesthetic need, make an appointment today, 678-345-1899. premierdermatologyatlanta.com

Live-in care can be the answer during COVID-19 Brought to You by — Home Helpers Home Care As you and your older loved one are faced with the increasing challenges posed by COVID-19 and consider how to face current health care issues, it’s time to consider the long-term benefits, increased safety and potential cost savings of live-in care. Providing appropriate care for those most at risk during a pandemic makes this a wonderful alternative that may be a perfect fit.

What is Live-In Care?

In time, we all need some help and in-home care provides both personal care and emotional support. Whether in your own home or an assisted living community, challenges like decreased mobility, increased fall dangers, occasional night time help or conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s may make 24-hour support a necessary and ideal choice. Here’s how 24-hour live-in care works.

A heart-centered skilled Home Helpers caregiver lives in your older loved one’s home for at least four or five days a week, with another live-in caregiver completing the weekly schedule. The caregiver supplies all the daytime support care needed and sleeps there, so they are available at night for minimal quick toileting assistance or when emergencies might happen. A caregiver needs five hours of uninterrupted sleep and eight hours total sleep for a good night’s rest.

They will also take a break at opportune times, like when your loved one is napping, but always be there to provide a safe and secure environment.

The continuity of care a live-in caregiver provides is a major benefit for your older loved one. One-on-one care is round the clock, totally customized and

dedicated to their special needs. There are only two caregivers involved, well trained in infection control. The warm emotional bonds formed with a carefully selected caregiver can truly help with the social isolation that can be devastating during these times. With no shift changes during a day, this reliability and constancy can create a safe, calming environment for your older loved one.

There are many additional advantages to live-in care. Cost savings can be considerable, as live-in care has a daily versus hourly fee. You get the security of 24-hour assistance but don’t pay for sleep time for the caregiver. Your older loved one stays in their home with the familiar belongings and surroundings they prefer, or even remain with a beloved pet and still have the space, privacy and independence they desire.

During the increased challenges posed by a pandemic, a carefully matched live-in caregiver provides the security of a trained professional who can make sure connections with family members are maintained, manage safe interactions with friends and neighbors, handle package or food deliveries safely and allow your older loved one to thrive.

Our caregivers wear protective gear like face masks and gloves when appropriate, can take frequent temperature readings, check vital signs and prompt frequent hand washing.

A carefully screened, trained and heart centered Home Helpers caregiver not only brings skills, but a heart centered approach that provides the best quality of life for our clients and their families. For a free in-home consultation to determine if live-in care is right for you, contact Home Helpers Home Care today at (678) 430-8511. www.homehelpershomecare.com

Music: Continued from Page 7 Even though they had virtually no funding, Pu decided there would be no registration fee to participate in the contest. The judges agreed to work for free, and the prizes, including a grand prize of $500, were provided by William Pu Music Academy and local sponsors, Loyal Trust Bank and WePartner.

Teaching music online has challenges. Video calls have low audio quality and slight delays. William Pu Music Academy has been teaching its classes online since March, but like with the virtual competition, Pu has been pleasantly surprised with the results.

Having to adapt his teaching techniques has made him a better instructor, he said, and with more time at home to practice, his students have been improving quickly.

“As a teacher, I have to find ways to explain things without just saying ‘Here, I’ll play it for you,’” he said. “It has some frustrations, but we find solutions to deal with them. Overwhelmingly our students have improved tremendously during this time, to every teacher’s surprise.”

In Memoriam

John Francis Scully

John Francis Scully, age 95, of Johns Creek, Georgia, passed away at home on June 28, 2020.

Jack was born on April 11, 1925 in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from St. John’s University in 1947, then earned his PhD in Chemistry from Fordham University in 1953. He taught college chemistry and worked in the pharmaceutical industry.

Jack passed the New York bar exam without ever attending law school; in 1973, he founded Scully Scott Murphy & Presser PC, one of the top patent law firms in New York.

Jack’s Catholic faith was deep rooted. He was an active solo and choir singer and lector for his church, and his faith inspired him to use his resources to help others succeed. He loved to watch

sports, especially when his children and grandchildren played.

His family was always his greatest source of pride. Jack married his first wife, Mary, in 1954 and they were blessed with six children (Tim, John, Dan, Cathy, Michael, and Peter). After she passed away, he was fortunate enough to find love again and married Trudy in 1991. His family grew to include her children ( Jean, Frank, Mary, and Peter).

Survivors include his wife of 29 years, Trudy; a blended family of 10 children, 20 grandchildren, 5 greatgrandchildren, and a host of relatives and friends.

Funeral services will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: St. Andrew Catholic Church, 675 Riverside Rd., Roswell, GA 30075.

Johns Creek High alum works on NASA rover model JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Sid Shrivastava got on track early in life.

While still a junior at Johns Creek High School, he helped collaborate with NASA to design new space exploration rovers.

Shrivastava began working on the project during the summer before his junior year. At the time, he was a dual enrollment student at Georgia Tech, which connected him to Daniel Goldman, one of the robotics professors Solution working on the project.

“That gave me the opportunity to do research throughout the year, and then I continued with it,” Shrivastava said.

He continued working on the project the summer before his senior year in high school. Shrivastava currently studies mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech.

He led the creation of a miniature version of the RP15 rover, or the Mini Rover, equipped with wheels that utilize their surroundings to prevent the vehicle from becoming trapped.

“Prior rovers would get stuck if they went into loose, medium and steep hills.” Shrivastava said.

up granular material, allowing the rover to climb steep hills. This also makes it less likely to get stuck than other rovers.

“After we gained some momentum with it, we reached out to the folks at Johnson Space Center, and they were curious to get involved and it turned into a collaboration,” Shrivastava said.

He said working on the project was a difficult but rewarding experience, and he has high hopes for its success.

“Learning how to ask the right research questions was definitely a struggle in the beginning, but it was also what made it exciting.” Shrivastava said.

“I genuinely think it enables a much

larger ability for the rover to explore. I’m just really excited for it to actually be employed in the real world.”
