Woman reports fraud involving flooring company MILTON, Ga. — Police responded to a report of fraud Jan. 4 that involved apparent charges by a flooring company to the bank account of a local woman. According to the incident report, a 77-year-old Milton woman notified officers she received an email from Wells Fargo about a transaction she had made. The woman said she never opened an account with the bank. The receipt was for a Dec. 7 transaction in which a flooring business financed $2,889. It showed that the victim had purportedly signed a financial agreement electronically and it listed her email address, according to the report. The woman said she was not defrauded of any money, although the business appeared to be using her information.
Morris Road residence ransacked by burglars MILTON, Ga. — Police investigated a burglary reported at a residence along Morris Road on Dec. 23. According to the incident report, the victim told officers the break-in occurred sometime between Dec. 16 and Dec. 23. The owner said he noticed shed doors on the property ajar and a lawnmower in the middle of the yard. Inside, he found the house ransacked and a Plexi-glass window had been pried open. The patio door was unlocked and a sliding glass door leading into the home had several pry marks. The victim reported bedrooms, bathrooms, closets and drawers had been ransacked, but he didn’t report anything of much value missing, according to the report.

Former worker reported for restaurant disruption
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police were called to a Popeyes restaurant on Old Milton Parkway after a former employee started yelling at customers Dec. 30. According to the incident report, a manager said the 35-year-old Atlanta man walked past the front window then entered the eatery. He walked up to two women eating lunch and began shouting and cursing at them. The manager intervened and removed the man from the store. The manager told officers the suspect had been fired from the Popeyes Dec. 28 for arguing and swearing at another employee, the report stated. The customers told police they noticed the man look at them when he walked past the window. One of them looked back at him and said he then walked in and told them “I’ll kill you …. Why are you looking at me through the window?” The manager said the man only made a verbal threat and told officers he may suffer mental problems, the report stated.
Upgrades to tag offices may impede renewals FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Vehicle owners with tag renewals in January may be pinched for time this year. The Georgia Department of Revenue is shifting to a new system to process vehicle tags and titles which will result in a temporary shutdown of all motor vehicle transactions the week of Jan. 12-19. Online, in-person and kiosk transactions will be unavailable during that period. Fulton County Tax Commissioner Arthur Ferdinand said the upgrade is needed to better coordinate local offices with the state. “While ultimately this transition will help our office and the Division of Driver Services better serve our constituents, this move will be a temporary inconvenience for customers,” Ferdinand said. The upgrades are a part of the ongoing statewide effort to transition to the State of Georgia’s new Georgia Driver Record and Integrated Vehicle Enterprise System. Registrations for Fulton County taxpayers that expire during the January 12 through January 19 time frame will not accrue penalties or interest. Processing is expected to resume normally following the upgrade at all tag office locations, except at Greenbrier Mall and Fulton County Government Center which both remain closed due to COVID-19 restrictions.

North Fulton voters split in U.S. Senate runoffs By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — While a vast majority of Fulton County voters backed Democratic candidates in the Jan. 5 runoff election, residents in North Fulton were more divided. Turnout was robust. Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler, and most media outlets have called Democrat Jon Ossoff the winner in his race to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue. With the two seats flipped, Democrats have now gained the upper hand in the U.S. Senate. Overall, Fulton County voters backed the Democratic candidates with 72 percent of the vote in each race. Most residents opted to vote early in person. More than 57 percent of the 477,000 votes recorded in the county were cast in advance. The remaining votes were split almost evenly between Election Day votes and mailed absentee ballots. Unlike the Nov. 3 General Election, each precinct was locked in tandem, with either both Republicans or both Democrats earning a majority. Republican voters backed Perdue slightly more than Loeffler. In the Nov. 3 General Election, Warnock defeated Loeffler in a few precincts where Perdue earned a majority in his race against Ossoff. That was most likely due to Loeffler defending her seat in a “jungle primary,” which included more than a dozen candidates. In the runoff, Republicans swept the most northern precincts in the county, including all but two Milton precincts, the eastern portion of Roswell and the southernmost areas of Johns Creek.
Candidate campaign signs line Mayfield Road outside Alpharetta Elementary School voting precinct Jan. 5. Democrats carved a wide path along Ga. 400, taking almost all districts close to the thoroughfare. Alpharetta Democrats took 12 of Alpharetta’s 21 precincts, but the margins in the Senate races were razor-thin. More than 32,000 residents cast ballots, and the margin of victory for the city was just 83 votes between Ossoff and Perdue. Warnock topped Loeffler by 673 votes. Johns Creek Johns Creek came out strong for the Democrats. Warnock garnered 55 percent of the vote. Ossoff earned 54 percent. The Democratic candidates won 13 of the city’s 20 precincts.
CARL APPEN/HERALD
Commissioner results Fulton voters strongly backed Democrat Daniel Blackman for the District 4 Public Service Commissioner in the Runoff Election, but Republican incumbent Lauren “Bubba” McDonald retained his seat. Members of the five-member commission, which regulates public utilities in the state, are elected statewide. Milton While Johns Creek backed Democrats by the highest margins, Milton voters posted the strongest effort for the GOP. Republicans won 10 of the city’s 12 precincts. Perdue took 11,424, or 58 percent, of the nearly 20,000 votes cast. Loeffler also took Milton, but her margin of victory was slightly less at 57 percent.
Roswell The race for Roswell was neck-andneck, and the city was the only in North Fulton to split between Democratic and Republican candidates. Perdue carried 51 percent of the more than 47,000 votes cast over Ossoff. However, Warnock defeated Loeffler by a total of 38 votes. Both Republicans won 12 of Roswell’s 22 precincts.
Milton tweaks ethics code, extends emergency declaration By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — The Milton City Council held its first meeting of 2021 Jan. 4, adopting changes to the city’s ethics code and extending its COVID-19 emergency declaration. Council members signed off new language to the city’s ethics codes that allows some city employees to receive gifts under certain circumstances. Previously, city officials were allowed to receive a gift of up to $101 in value from a single source one time during a calendar year. The ordinance change amends that stipulation to allow for gifts of higher value to public safety employees, a change primarily spurred by charitable donations.
Public safety employees can now receive gifts of more than $101 within a calendar year provided the gift, grant or donation is made by an organization whose primary purpose is “charitable in nature,” and it is intended to assist or provide relief to the Milton Police or Milton Fire employee. The donation must also be pre-approved by either the fire chief or police chief and the city manager. Police Chief Rich Austin said the Milton First Responders Foundation provides a good example. The nonprofit group, established in 2015, has donated equipment to the city’s fire and police departments, and it has supported other initiatives and public safety workers. In other action at the meeting, the council moved to extend its COVID-19
emergency declaration to Feb. 7. Milton first adopted the emergency ordinance in March 2020 and has extended it throughout the pandemic. City Attorney Ken Jarrard said as talks continue on a new coronavirus relief bill, which could mean more federal money to mitigate the city’s costs associated with the pandemic, the city can extend its declaration to ensure it receives the funding. The city was allocated $1.65 million through the $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act signed into law by President Trump last March. Fulton County received $104 million of the allocation and originally offered $2.5 million be divvied up among the county’s 13 cities, with Milton slated to receive just over $23,000. Many cities
pushed back, stating it was too small a piece of the pie, and Fulton eventually agreed to up its allocations. Milton Mayor Joe Lockwood previously told the Herald he believed the $1.65 million Milton was awarded was a fair amount. In other action at the Jan. 4 meeting, Public Works Director Robert Drewry presented a brief update on the roundabout construction projects at Hopewell Road/Hamby Road and Hopewell Road/ Thompson Road. Drewry said clearing has been completed for the projects and the relocation of utilities has begun. While it may appear that work is slowing on the projects during this time, Drewry said, it is only because there are numerous utilities that require attention during construction.

North Point Park plan begins to take shape By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Designers for The Point Park, a key element of the planned revitalization of North Point Mall, have released updated renderings for the centerpiece amenity. The park is part of a major redevelopment underway by Brookfield Partners which will also include new, freestanding retail and restaurants and a multi-use trail system with tie-ins to nearby trails and the Big Creek Greenway. Plans also call for 300 luxury apartments. Brookfield won approval for the plan in February 2019, about a year after it purchased the mall property from General Growth Properties in a deal estimated at about $15 billion. The park, located on about 17 acres, features a canopy walk and a 600-foot pedestrian bridge spanning the park and linking to the residential and commercial core of the new development. Alpharetta Community Development Director Kathi Cook says the North Point district is in line for $300 million in new development. Part of that investment includes the Providence Group’s Ecco Park townhome development, now under construction, near Haynes Bridge Road near the entrance to the mall. Also underway is Brixmor Studio Movie Grill, site of the old AMC theater near Mansell Road. “We checked with them, because they did stop during COVID,” Cook said. “They have said they’re going forward.” Accesso, at the corner of Encore Parkway and North Point Parkway, is underway with a development that includes retail, restaurant and a small office. Accesso filed for land disturbance permits prior to COVID, Cook said, but they have not collected their documents. The development has, however, made its way through the Design Review Board. Officials with Brookfield say they

As part of Brookfield Partners’ plans to redevelop North Point Mall, Site Solutions has designed The Point Park on about 17 acres that includes a canopy walk, an amphitheater, overlook, a fishing boardwalk, picnic pavilions, open space and trails. would make decisions on a time schedule for their development during the first quarter of this year, Cook said. Brookfield received a change in conditions in October, allowing it more time to begin work on its mixed-use development. In exchange, the city received a donation of 2 acres for use as a future MARTA bus rapid transit station. The developer now has until the end of 2022 to begin site work in order to hold onto the rights for the apartments. The North Point area generates over $1 billion in retail sales and pays out more than $10 million in property taxes to the city, county and school district annually, according to a study
performed by Bleakly Advisory Group. But the corridor has fallen on hard times over the past five years with the opening of Avalon and downtown’s City Center. The city has focused much of its economic development efforts of late in rescuing the corridor. Just last month, city officials approved an application with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs to establish an opportunity zone within the corridor to provide tax breaks for qualifying employers. The credits — $3,500 per new job with a minimum of two jobs — can be used against a company’s state income tax and withholding tax
liability, and they are available to any business, including retail. And in November, the City Council adopted a draft plan for the Alpha Loop that includes pedestrian enhancements in the North Point area. In 2019, the city established a tax allocation district for the North Point area that will provide future funding for infrastructure improvements by diverting a portion of future property tax collections. Estimates compiled for the city by Bleakly show the district could receive anywhere from $65-$88 million in funding for these improvements over 25 years if the county and school district agree to be a part of the TAD.
When it comes to customers, you just gotta be nice to them. PEARL BIVINS, Alpharetta Beauty Shop owner
8 | Milton Herald | January 14, 2021
After 34 years in business, salon surrenders to downtown flurry By TIFFANY GRIFFITH newsroom@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Downtown Alpharetta is quickly becoming the latest trendy hangout in the metro area. But amid the stylish boutiques and popular bars and restaurants, one business closed its doors Dec. 31. The next time you drive past 22 Milton Avenue, you won’t see the Alpharetta Beauty Shop. Owner Pearl Bivins said the old-fashioned salon couldn’t keep up with all of the change surrounding it. “It was kinda sad,” Bivins said. “People around there in the other businesses were nice. We just didn’t really fit in with all those retail stores.” Bivins and her sister, Jean Collett, have cut, curled, combed and coiffed the hair of women in Alpharetta for more than 50 years. After working in various salons, they opened the Alpharetta Beauty Shop in 1986. “We just did the old-fashioned cut and shampoo. Set, roll up, under the dryer. Most people nowadays don’t even know what a dryer looks like,” Bivins laughed. “That’s years old.” The atmosphere in the shop was fun and full of laughter — most of the time. “Sometimes we had tension in there between the two sisters,” she chuckled. “Customers could tell when things weren’t going just fine.” And with customers stopping by every week, you could also count on the salon sisters for some juicy gossip. “Of course!” Bivins confirmed. “If we didn’t get it, we got blamed for it.” Bivins credits those loyal customers for decades of keeping her in business. “They would always say they loved to

Alpharetta Beauty Shop owner Pearl Bivins said the old-fashioned salon couldn’t keep up with all of the change surrounding it. get their hair shampooed because it was the best in town, the best they’d ever had,” Bivins said. The sisters enjoyed hearing about the happenings of their clients’ weeks. Bivins and Collett followed the lives of their clients as they became grandparents and great-grandparents, and sadly, when they passed away. But at the close of 2020, the Al-
pharetta Beauty Shop styled its last strand of hair. Bivins said the increase in foot traffic and vehicle traffic made it difficult for her 80 and 90-year-old clients to park and visit the salon. “Too many people, too much traffic, too much everything,” Bivins said. “It was better for the salon when the city was smaller. It was easier for people to get in and out of there.”
The pandemic also prevented the sisters from seeing their elderly clients in the salon or at senior living facilities. The salon’s space was purchased by the owners of Sis + Moon, a women’s clothing, jewelry, and art gallery next door. When Bivins gave her loyal customers the unfortunate news, some didn’t know where they would go for their next wash and set. “We were really proud of our customers because they were older ladies and a lot of them had been with us for 50 years,” Bivins said. “Everybody was really nice and friendly. They were regular people. It meant a lot to know we had the same clients every week to keep us in business.” Some clients said maybe it was time to close up shop. Bivins agreed. “It’s time to move on,” she said. “Progress has to go on. I understand that. We’re older. Our clientele, most of them are older than we are. So, it was time to close up and get out of there.” On her last day in the salon, the 78-year-old stylist simply packed up her belongings and locked the door behind her. This isn’t the way she envisioned her days at the shop ending. However, Bivins wasn’t sentimental because her days of creating the perfect hairdo are far from over. “I’m going to work at a salon about a mile away on Main Street,” Bivins said. “My sister is working at a senior living home in Roswell.” Bivins calls herself an Alpharetta lady. And while she thinks the loss of her salon is a loss for the city’s history, she is willing to share the secret to her longevity. “When it comes to customers, you just gotta be nice to them,” Bivins said.

Fiserv offers grant program for minority small businesses
BROOKFIELD, Wis. — Fiserv, a financial tech company and one of Alpharetta’s largest employers, announced on Monday it is accepting grant applications from minority-owned small business owners based in the greater Atlanta area as part of its ongoing Back2Business program. The program is designed to help support small, minority-owned businesses that have been negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Back2Business connects small businesses with critical resources, including complimentary mentorship, subject matter expertise and business coaching, technology solutions such as the Clover point-of-sale platform from Fiserv, and community partners. In conjunction with the Association for Enterprise Opportunity, a national nonprofit expanding economic opportunity for Black entrepreneurs through its Tapestry Project, the program includes $10 million in grants, with approximately $1 million designated for Atlanta-area businesses, and up to $10,000 awarded to individual businesses. Each grant recipient will also be connected to local networking, support and resources from Fiserv community partners such as the Metro Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Atlanta Black Chambers, Russell Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, The Village Market Atlanta and the Atlanta Business League. Eligible minority-owned businesses can apply for a Fiserv Back2Business Grant at aeoworks.org/Fiserv. Grants can be used to assist with payroll, rent or lease payments, technology or equipment purchases, or premise redesign. Merchants must have revenues of less than $1 million annually, have been founded prior to June 1, 2019 and have fewer than 10 employees. Approximately $1 million in grants will be provided to businesses based in Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton, Rockdale and Spalding counties. Applications will be accepted until grant funds are exhausted. “Coming off a challenging year, we are committed to helping make 2021 a better one for the small business community, particularly for minority-owned businesses that have been adversely impacted by the pandemic,” said Leslie Pearce, senior vice president, SMB Inside Sales at Fiserv. “We are proud to support local small businesses by providing them with the resources they need to thrive in the new year and beyond.”

Help us protect North Fulton By Kali Boatright, President and CEO, GreaterNorthFulton Chamber of Commerce, Liz Hausmann, Fulton County Commissioner, District 1, Bob Ellis, Fulton County Commissioner, District 2, and Jon-Paul Croom, SVP and President, Wellstar North Fulton Hospital COVID-19. Global pandemic. Coronavirus. PPE. Community spread. For ten long months, we have heard about these topics in our community, state, nation, and world, often to the point where we just don’t want to hear about them anymore. It’s what many are calling “COVID fatigue.” For those people who adopted recommended safety measures early on, perhaps you have grown tired of wearing a mask, not going to restaurants, and not seeing family and friends. For those who never adopted safety measures, perhaps you prefer to live “normally” since you figure your or your family’s risk of getting infected or being ill from COVID is relatively low. After all,
the mortality rate is fairly low, right, so how bad is COVID, really? There is so much information circulating – and so much misinformation – that it’s difficult to know what’s real; and what’s not. Additionally, some people don’t pay attention until COVID has affected them personally. North Fulton, the impact is real, and it’s now very personal to our community. Wellstar North Fulton Hospital – staffed compassionately 24/7/365 by our neighbors, friends, and family, and the recent recipient of many awards and accolades – is seeing a significant surge in patient volume, many very critical. The hospital is operating above 100% capacity due to limitations of the available workforce. As of Jan. 8, approximately 38% of the patients are COVID-positive, and 54% of the patients in the full ICU are COVID patients. That is far too many. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients

require intensive resources – often more than other patients – and many are very, very ill, with complex medical conditions either caused or made worse by the virus. These are our beloved neighbors, friends, and family from right here in North Fulton. And we are only at the beginning of seeing cases from gatherings and kids coming home from college for the holidays. The numbers are rising, alarmingly. The trajectory of cases and hospitalizations for the coming few months is concerning, especially with the recent Christmas holiday and New Year’s Eve celebrations. Wellstar Health System is one of the largest health systems in Georgia, with extensive resources to help balance the load and serve our community with high-quality and compassionate care. The 11-hospital system has prepared for surge scenarios like the one we are currently facing and can shift resources where they are needed. Still, the virus is spreading significantly across the state, which impacts not only our healthcare workers but everyone in our community. We must act together to Protect North Fulton immediately. It’s an explicit plea so we can flatten the curve here in our community and at our local hospital. The hospital needs our support
in this moment, and so do the families and friends of those who have fallen ill or died, as well as everyone who has the potential to contract COVID … and possibly succumb to it. The way the virus is currently spreading, that means every single one of us. 1. We must work together to do what’s right, to care for our community. Now is the time to band together to stop the spread. It is possible to support our businesses *and* keep each other safe, and that is what we need to do. 2. Please start wearing a mask when you are around other people. It has proven to slow the spread of the virus. In fact, we are seeing that it may be preventing the spread of the flu, too. It works, and it will help Protect North Fulton. 3. We ask that you also think about how to minimize gatherings with other people. Getting together in groups – both large and small gatherings – without masks and social distancing is a big part of what is driving the rampant spread of COVID-19. Small family and friend gatherings are a particular issue because people tend to relax their safety measures, which increases transmission. Using technology for meetings and get-togethers – or at least wearing masks and keeping your distance – for a few more months *will* help Protect North Fulton. While we wait for broad vaccine distribution and levels of community immunity over the coming months – which will be a critical line of defense to protect people, our communities, and our healthcare systems – the best treatment we have right now is prevention. It is urgent for our community that we do things differently for the moment so we can Protect North Fulton … together.

Can bumping your leg cause skin cancer? Brought to you by — Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Multiple times over the last ten years, patients have told me that a skin cancer popped up DR. TAYLOR right where they banged their leg. Initially, I was skeptical of whether such mild trauma could cause skin cancer. One of my teachers speculated that patients were developing skin cancers first and then later noticed them when they bumped the area. However, patient were certain about the timeline and insisted that the bump caused the skin cancer. Who is right? Can mild trauma cause skin cancer? The medical literature is rife with examples of chronic trauma indirectly leading to skin cancer. For example, a “Marjolin’s ulcer” is a squamous cell carcinoma (squamous cell skin cancer) that arises from a chronic wound. While Marjolin’s ulcers are not common, they are an important diagnosis for doctors to avoid missing. Their danger is often due to delayed diagnosis. For example, a patient with an ulcer from bad veins on his or her leg may go to a wound care clinic and receive dressing changes intended to allow the wound to heal on its own. When the ulcer fails to heal, everyone involved assumes it is still “just a venous ulcer.” Unfortunately, chronic ulcers can sometimes give rise to skin cancers – usually squamous cell carcinoma. The ulcer is no longer just a broken down area of skin from bad circulation. Instead, it is a skin cancer AND a broken down area from bad circulation. But the two conditions can look nearly identical in ulcerated form, and a biopsy is needed to make the diagnosis. Delays in diagnosis of the skin cancer can give it a chance to spread to other organs and lead to death. The stakes are high. Why would a chronic wound give rise to skin cancer? The explanation is usually “cell turnover.” Areas of healthy skin usually have cells undergoing cell division (mitosis) at a very slow rate. Skin cells are quoted as replacing themselves every 28 days. Where skin is cut, injured or otherwise wounded, the replication rate goes up. Growth factors are released at sites of tissue damage to spur tissue regrowth and renewal. If you cut your skin or have a wound, cells need to grow and divide rapidly to replace the cells that were lost and to heal. Increased cell division means increased opportunity for error. Cell division is a vulnerable time. When a cell is dividing, its DNA is more
susceptible to mutations and to making mistakes. Such mutations can increase cell growth rate and otherwise allow them to grow in an uncontrolled manner. Mutations cause cancer. So chronic wounds not unexpectedly generate skin cancers. If chronic wounds can yield cancers, what about minor/short term wounds? Or even a bump on the leg? There is not a lot of medical literature about skin cancers arising from small traumatic events such as a bump on the leg. However, it stands to reason that a similar phenomenon exists for small injuries as for chronic wounds. Both involve healing tissue, growth factors, and stimulus for cell division. In my experience, the small bumps that were blamed for causing skin cancers almost always occurred in patients with severe amounts of background sun damage. Patients with severe sun damage already have mutations in their cells from the sun’s UV rays. Accordingly, the combination of sun damage and a banged shin is like a one-two punch. One of the first successful explanations for the cause of any cancer was the “two-hit hypothesis.” It explains why retinoblastoma, an eye tumor, develops in children. The two hit hypothesis states that you need two copies of the same gene to go bad for certain cancers like retinoblastoma to develop. Children with retinoblastoma are born with one bad (mutated) copy in every single cell in their eyes, either inherited from a parent or from a mutation acquired early in fetal development. Additional spontaneous mutations are common enough that the chance that the second copy of the gene mutates in at least one cell is high. That cell now has two bad copies of the retinoblastoma gene. That single cell will then grow uncontrollably and develop into a cancer. Like retinoblastoma’s second mutation, the “bump on the leg” might be the second hit a squamous cell needs in some individuals’ legs. The first hit is the years of sun damage introducing mutations into many cells in a patient’s skin. Then, the second hit can take many forms – sometimes an additional sun burn, sometimes a chronic wound, and sometimes a literal hit -- a small bump on the leg. So yes, in my opinion, my patients are probably right. Sometimes a skin cancer really does pop up from a simple bump on the leg. We hope that you found this article interesting and informative. Please know that if you or a loved one has a skin cancer or any skin care need, we at Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta are here for you and are honored to help. Dr. Brent Taylor and Kathryn Filipek, PA-C would like to be your partners to achieve your skin health goals.

Yes, you can get dehydrated in cold weather Brought to you by — HydralIVe Therapy Dehydration is certainly a threat in the hot summer months, but it’s just as much of a danger when temperatures drop. You can get dehydrated in the winter as easily as you can in the summer, if not more so, and the threat multiplies if you regularly exercise outdoors in the cold. This is the case largely because, in cold weather, you may not notice how much water you lose. And if you don’t feel thirsty, which is often the case in the winter, you may not replenish said lost water. Over the course of a few days or weeks, this can lead to serious dehydration. We don’t often associate cold-weather exercise with dehydration. The body doesn’t get as hot, and sweat evaporates more rapidly in the cold air. Thus, we’re tricked into thinking we aren’t losing fluids as rapidly. Dehydration is still a risk when playing in the snow, albeit, for different reasons than summer exercise. What causes dehydration during winter months? In cold weather, the body’s thirst response is diminished (by up to 40 percent even when dehydrated). This happens because our blood vessels constrict when we’re cold to prevent blood from flowing
freely to the extremities. (If you’ve ever had cold hands in winter, you know the feeling.) This enables the body to conserve heat by drawing more blood to its core. But because of this, the body is fooled into thinking it’s properly hydrated, e.g. you don’t feel as thirsty and your body doesn’t conserve water. Thus, in cold weather, you might be less likely to drink water voluntarily, and additionally, your kidneys aren’t signaled by hormones to conserve water and urine production increases, a condition call cold-induced urine diuresis. So diminished thirst response and increased urine production are two contributing factors. Yet, there are several others that can lead to winter dehydration, including: Wearing extra clothing. Heavy jackets, long underwear and other pieces of warm clothing help your body conserve heat. But the added weight is one factor that makes the body work between 10 and 40 percent harder. By working harder, the body produces more sweat, contributing to fluid loss. Increased respiratory fluid loss. In cold weather, we lose more fluids through respiratory water loss. For example, when you can see your own breath, that’s water vapor your body is losing. The colder the temperature and
the more intense the exercise, the more vapor you lose when you breathe. Sweat evaporates more quickly in cold air. We often think we aren’t sweating in cold, dry weather, because it tends to evaporate so quickly. This is another factor that can contribute to a diminished thirst response. Signs of dehydration Dehydration occurs when you lose more fluids than you consume, and your body is left struggling to perform its usual — and critical — functions. Dehydration often presents first as minor headaches and fatigue, symptoms you might equate to something else initially, like a lack of sleep. As dehydration progresses, you might notice that you feel dizzy if you stand up too quickly; experience random muscle spasms and cramps; get a bad headache or migraine; and lose your ability to focus and concentrate. Severe dehydration can lead to dry skin and lips, sunken eyes, fainting spells, rapid heartbeat and rapid breathing. Through all these stages, a common indicator that you’re dehydrated is infrequent urination or urine that is dark in color. If you are not going to the bathroom often, not producing enough when you go or if your urine is dark in color, then you probably need to consume more fluids on
a more regular basis. But on the flip side, if your urine is near constant and clear, then you may need to scale back drinking or drink smaller amounts more regularly. How to beat dehydration in the winter Make a point to stay hydrated throughout the day and prior to any physical activity. The best precaution against dehydration in the cold is to be prepared. Make sure that you are properly hydrated throughout the day and prepare to replace fluid loss during your workout. IV Therapy is a great way to replenish fluids, with the benefit of adding additives like Vitamin C and Zinc to help boost your immune system. If you find that you are still unable to get enough fluids, try eating more foods with high water content. All fruits and most vegetables have high concentrations of water, and this can count toward your total daily water intake. If all else fails, make it fun: Get a water bottle you love and enlist a buddy or colleague to have daily water-drinking contests. Friendly banter can make even the most boring of things — even drinking water — more enjoyable. So, the answer is a clear “Yes.” The dehydration risk remains in cold weather. Whether you’re weight training or taking an afternoon walk – don’t forget to hydrate!

Pandemic curbing high school athletics fundraising By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO, Ga. — It appears likely that high school spring sports will be on for 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the 2020 campaign for local programs. However, there is still uncertainty on whether some of those teams fundraising efforts will be enough to continue the status quo. One group impacted by the economic crunch of the pandemic, and facing funding concerns of its own, is the Roswell Lacrosse Booster Club. While the school does fund many aspects of the program, the booster club supports off-season training, pre-game meals, equipment purchase and replacement, promotional and sponsorships costs, goods for game-day concessions and more. And like many sports programs in the area, finances are tight heading into the 2021 season. The Club has two major sources of funding. Its sponsorship program highlights businesses throughout the season during games, on social media and through other avenues. The Club also sells restaurant discount cards in the community which aid the lacrosse program and drive business to participating eateries.
“The pandemic has hit hardest those business that have traditionally been the strongest supporters of the Roswell Lacrosse program,” Booster Club President Paul Provenzano said. “We’ve been fortunate to maintain strong support by local restaurants to participate in lax card program, [but] our business sponsorship initiative is much behind where we were last year, with most businesses citing tightening of the belt as a result of COVID. We have even seen some of our past business supporters and sponsors close their doors.” The booster club and players are still selling the restaurant cards — which feature discounts for eateries like Jonny’s Pizza, Scooter’s Coffee, Hola! and others — but not at the same rate of prior years. Sales are expected to drop about 20 percent from last year. Provenzano said sales have been slowed by less discretionary spending amid the pandemic, and many are simply dining out less often. Players would typically go door-to-door or post up in front of restaurants to sell the cards, but those methods have been nixed amid COVID-19. The downfall in income could impact the day-to-day operations of the program, but the club is hoping the impacts will not stretch into higher costs
for families. Roswell Lacrosse is one of the deepest programs in the area with a solid junior and youth program that feeds the varsity squad. Funding may not have the rosiest outlook for Roswell lacrosse this season, but at the varsity level, hopes are high for the 2021 season. The boys team, winners of the 2014 and 2015 state titles, are poised for a strong season under Bryan Wallace, who takes over the program after serving as the offensive coordinator and assistant varsity coach last season. Wallace is one of the winningest coaches in Georgia high school lacrosse. He compiled a 14133 record during his 8-year tenure with Centennial. The boys squad also has strong talent, including Army commit Evan Plunkett and University of Lynchburg signee Connor Moore. The team went 5-1 during the abbreviated 2020 season and were ranked No. 5 in the state by MaxPreps. The girls team was also enjoying success ahead of the cancellation of the 2020 season, and while some key players to that squad have graduated, the Hornets are still primed for a strong season behind Kennesaw State University commit Hannah Davis and company.

Once battling breathing issues and drug abuse, local man sets sights on completing marathon By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — Running 26.2 miles is no easy undertaking no matter a person’s physical fitness or mental fortitude. It’s an especially tall task for a man who struggled to breath normally without a slew of medications and battled drug addiction for years. Jon Haley, 28, took massive strides in his drug abuse recovery this year, and has set his sights on another goal — completing a marathon — later this month to continue his mental and physical recovery. Haley will aim to accomplish his feat
in Roswell Jan. 23 at the Thundermeat Endurance Shrinkage event which benefits No Longer Bound, a Cumming-based recovery nonprofit which has steered Haley through his sobriety. Haley’s endurance challenge to his lungs comes after he spent years using multiple inhalers and medications to mitigate his serious breathing issues. Haley said he could hardly walk down a flight of stairs without stopping, and his inhalers became a lifeline. Even using the bathroom without one on hand was cause for anxiety. Emergency room visits and steroid injections were common, along with cases of bronchitis and pneumonia.
In Memoriam
Terry Davis Conklin
Terry Davis Conklin age 79 of Milton, Georgia, passed away on December 23, 2020. One of Terry’s favorite activities was skiing. He loved to be on the hill when the lifts opened at 8:00 and to ski until the last lift went up at 4:30. He lived his life the same way—always in motion and taking advantage of every available experience. Terry grew up in Marion, Iowa one of the three children of Archie and Evelyn Conklin. As a boy, he became an Eagle Scout. He went to Marion High School and while he was an accomplished student and athlete, his fondest memories would be making friends that would last a lifetime and most importantly, meeting Diane Schuettpelz, who would become his beloved wife for 54 years. Terry graduated from Iowa State University, where he was a member of Theta Xi fraternity, and received his MBA from the University of Iowa. He had a successful career in business at Kimberly Clark and retired from Menasha Corporation as Vice President and General Manager. His career was driven as much by a devotion to his colleagues as his intellectual curiosity and acumen. His career took him and Diane across the country, where they met many wonderful friends and developed a spirit of adventure that would serve them in taking their family across the country on road trips and in retirement, where they traveled extensively around the world. Among those that knew and loved him, Terry was known for a competitive spirit that approached every game as if his life depended on it, even though the stakes were usually a quarter for poker,
three dollars for golf or bragging rights for Scrabble. He was also better known for his kind and generous nature, a wry sense of humor and his devoted loyalty to friends and family. Terry was an active community member and was most recently involved with Alpharetta Presbyterian Church, volunteering at The Drake House in Roswell and helping to organize an annual golf fundraiser to benefit prostate cancer research at Emory. He was a longtime member of Country Club of Roswell where he enjoyed golf and tennis. His wife, Diane Schuettpelz Conklin was by his side from high school until he passed. He is also survived by his son, Paul Conklin of Budapest, Hungary; daughter, Deanna Conklin-Danao and son-in-law Paul Danao of Chicago, IL.; grandchildren, Leo Conklin, Avery Danao and Kate Danao; sisters, Zelda Conklin and Marilyn Conklin; brothers-in-law, Don Schuettpelz and Carl Schuettpelz. Terry was a quiet, kind and generous soul. You can best honor his memory by being kind and generous with people who differ from you in some way. If you prefer to honor him with a gift, in lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Terry’s memory to the Drake House www. drakehouse.org or Emory Winship Cancer Institute – Prostate Cancer, winshipcancer. emory.edu. A celebration of life for Terry will be announced when it is safe for us to gather and hug one another. Arrangements by Northisde Chapel Funeral Directors, Roswell. www.northsidechapel.com
Without No Longer Bound, I wouldn’t be healthy.” JON HALEY No Longer Bound program member
SPECIAL
Jon Haley is set to compete in his first marathon later this month in Roswell. The 28-year-old has set the lofty goal of completing the race as he recovers from drug addiction and severe breathing issues.
Haley’s breathing troubles were spurred and worsened by his drug addiction. As a teen, Haley said he was generally a “bad kid,” and he dropped out of high school and began drinking and working. Eventually drinking lost its luster, and around the time he joined the Army National Guard, Haley began using drugs. He was first introduced to opiates by a cough syrup prescribed to him for a case of bronchitis. When he was 21, he overdosed on the substance and was rushed to the emergency room. Following his military training, Haley said he was constantly exposed to drugs like MDMA, cocaine and ecstasy and began using the drugs. He also began taking strong opiates like Oxycontin. “It never really seemed to effect my work, and for a long time, all I cared about was work,” Haley said. “I’m not realizing these drugs are messing up my life, my personal relationships. I was not having the hard consequences or not correlating the consequences that were bad to drug use.” Around four years ago, Haley began using heroin and his descent into addiction increased. Haley said his finances were out of control despite his well-paying job. “I had a good job with good money, but it didn’t matter because it was all gone within a few weeks,” he said. After titling his car several times and living in his apartment without power, Haley was eventually evicted and began living out of his car. He would park overnight in Kroger parking lots, only leaving his four-wheeled home to use the store’s bathroom and snort cocaine or heroin. After several short-lived stints of sobriety, spurred by Haley’s family,
coworkers and military leaders, Haley arrived at No Longer Bound in October, 2019. After six months, he left the program, but immediately realized he needed to return when he used less than 24 hours after leaving. “That’s when I understood…I have absolutely no control over this,” he said. Haley has found his sober self over the last seven months. One way he has done it is through running. He first began running to get back into shape, but found the activity was also a boon for his mental well-being. “It provides clarity, a focus,” he said. “Relationships, work, anything stressful I save to think about when running. It’s also my time with God. I’m on autopilot physically, so I can talk to God, get mad, plan my week, work things out that bother me. It allows me to be there for my family, for my brothers and to do well at my job.” Haley has lost around 50 pounds since hitting the pavement and has gradually increased his speed and stamina. He no longer has breathing issues or requires the use of an inhaler or medications, and he said he is no longer afraid to look in the mirror. “I feel comfortable, confident and that I can overcome obstacles in my life,” he said. And also reach new goals. “I’m not 100 percent sure I can run this marathon, I’m very confident I can,” he said. “I’m not 100 percent sure I can stay sober for the rest of my life, but I know there are things I have to do to accomplish that, and that’s what I try and compare my recovery to, working out and running. It’s kind of hard to see the mental and emotional changes, but not to see the physical changes.” It is a remarkable change for a man who said his mother was told to go ahead and plan for his funeral years ago, and he is thankful for No Longer Bound and those around him that have guided his recovery. “Without No Longer Bound, I wouldn’t be healthy,” he said. “I never thought about God, never thought about family. They gave me that back. They taught me love and grace and how to extend that to others.”
OPINION
GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA
NorthFulton.com | Milton Herald | January 14, 2021 | 17
Winter in the woods? Winter is here. The weather is cold. The old year is gone (thank goodness), and it’s a good time to sit inside by the fire and think about all the things I want to do in the year to come. Yep, it’s resoluSTEVE HUDSON tion time. Get Outside Georgia, For the last few aa4bw@comcast.net years, one of my resolutions has been to try some wintertime camping. It’s easy to break out the tent in the spring and summer. But come winter, things get complicated. That’s another way of saying it’s cold in the wintertime, and since I’m now over 30, I no longer have anything to prove by spending the night in sub-zero temperatures in a house made of rip-stop nylon. Still, I wonder what it would be like. “I wonder what it would be like to camp in the middle of winter?” I said to Wife of Mine just the other day. “You mean, like, in a tent?” she said. She has this way of coming right to the heart of things. “Well, yeah, I suppose that is what I mean,” I said. “You’ve got that new tent I gave you,” she said. “It’s rated for winter.” “Well, yeah, I suppose I do,” I said, “and I suppose it is.” “So why don’t you try it then?” she said. Uh-oh. Think fast – “I don’t have a winter-friendly sleeping bag!” I proclaimed triumphantly after
a moment’s frantic thought. “So I guess I’d better just stay here by the fire!” But it wasn’t gonna be that easy. “That’s true,” she said. “But you do have those gift cards. Besides, Nathan did it. If he did it, you can too.” Nathan’s our youngest, and the fact was that he had been wintertime camping twice in the last few weeks. Being the highly trained reporter that I am, I decided to put on my interviewer’s hat and call him on the phone and uncover the truth about wintertime camping. “So where did you go first?” I asked him. Cloudland Canyon State Park, he told me, explaining that he camped there with a couple of his friends, experienced campers who were knowledgeable in the ways of winter in the woods. “They have the right gear,” he said. “That was good, because it snowed.” Snowed? As in frozen water falling from the sky? “Yep,” he said. Aha! Surely that would be enough to provide an out! “So you were worried you’d freeze to death?” I asked. “You were concerned lest you not survive the knife-edge bite of winter cold?” “No, it was really pretty warm,” he said. “We had a good tent, and I had a good sleeping bag with an extra blanket on top. I stayed pretty warm, actually, and it was kind of neat to be out there in winter on winter’s terms.” That wasn’t helping me much. So I asked about his next winter camping adventure, this one at Tugalo State Park in Lavonia, Ga., close by the waters of
NATHAN HUDSON/SPECIAL
Lake Hartwell. “How was that trip?” I asked. “It was good!” he replied. “That time, we camped in a yurt instead of in the tent.” A yurt, technically, is a tent, but it’s a tent with some differences. “This one had bunk beds and a pullout couch — real beds, a real sofa, and a real table,” he added. “It had power too.” Now that was sounding a little better. “Yes,” he added, “it sorta had all the benefits of being outside without having to be completely out in the woods.” So which did he like the best? “I liked ’em both,” he said, explaining that the tent gave a real sense of being in the woods in winter, while the
yurt had more in the way of accustomed creature comforts (and might be better for families with small children). Bottom line: Would he do the wintertime camping thing again? “Yep!” he said. “And I hear you might be thinking about trying it, too?” So, it appears, I am. In fact, as soon as I finish this, it’s back to the web for more sleeping bag shopping (I’ve got to use that gift card for something). My purchase should arrive in a few days. Then I’ll dig out the tent and dust off the camp stove. All that’ll be left will be to pick a place, and Georgia’s state parks offer plenty of choices — and go! Stay tuned. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
