By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — State Sen. Brandon Beach (District 21) announced March 18 that he tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Beach represents portions of Milton, Alpharetta and Cherokee County.

Beach announced last Wednesday that he tested positive for the virus and he will quarantine inside his home for at least two weeks. In a statement, he said he was last at the Capitol for Monday’s special session.

“After experiencing a fever and cough, I sought medical attention last week,” Beach said. “The diagnosis I was given was not coronavirus, but I did get tested for it on Saturday. With medication, I felt better by Monday and thought I was in the clear. Today, however, my test came back positive.”

City of Milton enacts emergency ordinance

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton has declared a local emergency in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

At a special called City Council meeting Friday, the City Council passed a measure that gives Mayor Joe Lockwood additional control over how the city can respond to COVID-19 and permits him to loosen some of the city’s current regulations over the next 30 days.

Lockwood said the emergency declaration is not a power grab but a way for the city to act quickly amid the pandemic.

“It’s just to allow me to make quick decisions on a safety basis,” Lockwood said after the meeting. “The key intent is not a grab for mayoral power, but to be able to act in an emergency that would make a positive difference, versus waiting for public meetings and what-not.”

The council considered eight items included in the declaration, which was written into the city’s emergency management codes when Milton incorporated. Several of the powers granted to Lockwood were approved, but one was slashed from the list.

Under the special order, Lockwood now has the right to act unilaterally to enforce any of the eight powers, but his decisions could be challenged by the City Council and are subject to the Georgia Constitution and U.S. Constitution.

The emergency period can be extended the 30 days or be terminated early. The city passed a resolution at the March 16 City Council meeting that suspended public hearings and put some zoning and permitting processes on hold, but the emergency declaration supersedes that document and restarts the 30-day time period.

With the emergency declaration, Lockwood will assume direct control over the city’s emergency management resources and can enact a curfew, order the closing of any business and close access to public areas. Lockwood also has authority to prohibit or regulate the possession of explosive or dangerous weapons — excluding firearms — and to take any emergency action deemed necessary to protect the city and its residents.

He can also act to loosen some of the city’s regulations already in place.

For instance, several cities in Georgia have permitted businesses with alcohol pouring licenses to provide to-go alcohol sales.

Projects around city move forward despite coronavirus Though COVID-19 has brough many businesses to a standstill, several construction projects in the city are moving forward as scheduled, according to the city.

Road projects, including the construction of the Charlotte Drive extension in downtown Crabapple, are moving ahead as scheduled.

The project is slated to be completed in the upcoming weeks, barring any delays.

Community Development Director Parag Agrawal said there are no interruptions in the permitting process for developments. Some construction has been set back due to rain, but no projects have been directly delayed by COVID-19.

Some of those projects include an additional phase to the Crabapple Market, the construction of the Market District at Birmingham Highway at the Charlotte Drive extension and building of Town Center East across from Milton Library.

— Joe Parker Some took to social media or emailed the council to share their concerns over two of the powers listed in the emergency ordinance. Causing the most commotion was the power for Milton to seize, use temporarily or condemn a property to protect the public.

While the language of the item raised plenty of eyebrows, City Attorney Ken Jarrad said any decision to do so would be bound under state and federal laws.

The council did not approve that power at the meeting, but Lockwood could still act unilaterally to enforce it.

Lockwood said he did not foresee any situation that would call for that action, however.

The declaration also included added language to one item that had some residents concerned: Lockwood’s power to sell, lend, give or distribute property or supplies. The city clarified the provision only included city-owned property or supplies.

Jarrard said sometimes governments are better suited to stockpile items like food or bottled water.

Hospitals prepare for possible YMCAs to offer childcare for healthcare workers influx of coronavirus patients

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — Atlanta area hospitals are eliminating elective surgery and turning their attention to accommodate testing and treatment for patients of the COVID-19 virus.

Right now, the state is scrambling to make testing services available to health care providers, and some drive-thru testing is available in Atlanta and other regions of the state.

Gov. Brian Kemp announced efforts are underway to expand drive-thru testing.

For now, testing at most drive-thru facilities is limited to the most vulnerable: the elderly and those with compromised immune systems or respiratory conditions.

Locally, spokeswoman Katherine Watson said testing and treatment for the coronavirus is available at Northside Hospital Atlanta on Johnson Ferry Road and at Northside Forsyth in Cumming.

“We are working closely with the Georgia Department of Public Health to ensure proper clinical management of any patient who comes to one of our Emergency Departments exhibiting coronavirus symptoms,” Watson said. “Our Infection Control specialists and clinical leadership are implementing a coordinated and comprehensive plan to handle infectious disease patients, adhering to the CDC’s recommendations and guidelines for prevention, surveillance and treatment.”

Alysia Satchel, spokeswoman for Emory Johns Creek Hospital said Emory Healthcare is in the process of rolling out a frequently asked questions service to provide the latest information about testing and treatment at its facilities.

People should visit emoryhealthcare.org/covid/faq. html#symptoms for the latest information.

Emory could be poised to take the lead on testing.

Just last week, the Swiss pharma company Roche said it would provide Emory its lab supplies to process about 200 test kits per day.

Another large presence in the region, WellStar Health System hospitals have been rolling out safeguards and initiatives in the past weeks in anticipation of more positive coronavirus cases.

“We can confirm that WellStar Health System is equipped to screen, test and treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19,” spokeswoman Patricia Nicolas said.

“It is important to note that patients must meet specific criteria to be considered for testing and should contact their primary care provider before visiting a medical facility if possible.”

As numbers climb, WellStar has been erecting tents at some facilities to serve as temporary extensions of emergency departments.

“This helps us prepare to respond to the growing surge of patients visiting our emergency departments for symptoms, which may be associated with flu, strep, pneumonia and other common respiratory issues,” Nicolas said. “The tents are not for walk-up COVID-19 testing.”

All 11 of WellStar’s facilities are still open under normal business hours, and the organization is also working to head off any potential problems with overcrowding or overworking staff, an issue that has hit hard for some medical centers across the world.

Spokeswoman Katherine Watson said testing and treatment for the coronavirus is available at Northside Hospital Atlanta on Johnson Ferry Road and at Northside Forsyth in Cumming, above.

“We are monitoring our staffing levels and supply chain on a daily basis to make sure we have adequate, continued access to personnel needed to care for patients, as well as materials and equipment,” Nicolas said. “WellStar is also prepared to draw on its network of expert physicians, health professionals and facilities across our health system for support, as needed.”

WellStar has created a 24/7 Coronavirus/COVID-19 Caregiver & Workforces Helpline to provide accurate and updated information about the work-related COVID-19 issues for medical staff. It has also activated a crisis care program for employees with caretaking needs for children, elders and pets. Team members are reimbursed for any crisis care arranged with anyone outside of WellStar’s network, Nicolas said.

“WellStar caregivers are the heroes of our health system and community,” she said. “They are on the frontlines day and night, caring for people in their time of need. Every single caregiver performs selfless, compassionate and vital work that saves lives. We are thankful for each and every one.”

WellStar is restricting entrances and is screening visitors at its hospitals, health parks, urgent care centers, ambulatory offices and long-term care facilities.

It is also suspending social visitation. Anyone under 18 will not be allowed to visit patients.

Limited visitation is still allowed in some cases, such as emergency or surgery patients or laboring and postpartum patients.

One of the biggest challenges now, Nicolas said, is educating the public on self-care, containing the virus through social isolation and to reach out to healthcare providers if the symptoms worsen.

NORTH GEORGIA — YMCA of Metro Atlanta facilities are closed to the public but will still provide a much-needed service amid the coronavirus pandemic. The organization announced last week it will offer childcare for healthcare workers, and plans are in place to begin the service in Alpharetta and Forsyth County.

The service will be available to several Atlanta area hospitals, including the Northside and WellStar systems.

Lauren Koontz, CEO of the YMCA of Metro Atlanta, said the organization is “repurposing” to provide services that will critical in the coming weeks.

“In many ways this is our moment to truly deliver on our promise of service to those who turn to us for community and to those who turn to us for survival,” Koontz said.

The Y plans to begin offering childcare at the Ed Isakson/Alpharetta YMCA this week with plans to roll out the service at the Forsyth County Family YMCA. “When there is a need, the Y fills that need,” Allison Toller, chief social impact officer with YMCA of Metro Atlanta said. “The healthcare industry and its workers are being stretched, so who is there to take care their children? This is a way to ease that burden.”

Childcare will be available from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. for kids aged 3- to 12-years old. Toller said the metro Atlanta Y system has the capacity to take care of over 2,000 children.

“While we realized we needed to close for the health and safety of the community, we still have the opportunity to be there for our community,” Toller said.

The partnership between the hospitals and the organization will also allow Y employees to continue working while normal operations are suspended.

The hospitals offering childcare to employees are either covering the cost of the service or working out a fee structure. “[Childcare] is something we want to provide, and with the Y being closed, our revenue model is being drastically shifted, and the revenue from those hospitals is critical,” Toller said.

In addition to providing childcare for healthcare workers and first responders dealing with COVID-19, some metro Atlanta Y locations will also provide assurance to those facing food insecurity.

Toller said as the Y works to assist the metro Atlanta community, some are asking how they can lend a hand to the organization.

“We imagine there is going to be a need for resources, and already we have been asked by companies in the area how they can help,” Toller said. “We would urge people to contact their local Y and see if there are ways they can help, either financially or in-kind. There are going to be needs, and we ask the community to support us.”

The organization also wants its members to stick with the Y amid the coronavirus shutdown.

“We ask our members stay with us,” Toller said. “While the services we provide members are on hold, we hope they continue to be members and support what we are doing.”

Special Equestrians of Georgia faces grim future Animal therapy program benefits special needs kids

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — A local nonprofit that provides equestrian therapy and comfort to those with special needs is now in need of help itself.

Milton-based Special Equestrians of Georgia will need the community’s help to stay afloat after a season of wet weather and a COVID-19 shutdown. The group has seen its limited income to care for horses slashed and has been forced to rehome several therapy horses.

“I’ve had parents call me all week saying, ‘Please don’t shut down, don’t stop,’ but to be honest, I do not have a choice,” said Stacey Edwards, the organization’s founder and president.

“With coronavirus, we had to shut down because we see kids who are the most vulnerable, kids that can really get sick and lose their life over this. We couldn’t in good conscious continue.”

The organization, which provides therapeutic riding, hippotherapy and equine-assisted psychotherapy, is run by volunteers. Edwards said the group cannot screen all who lend help, and that was another reason to close amid COVID-19.

The financial burden of caring for 18 horses was also too great after the organization lost its small income from offering lessons. The farm does not have a covered arena, and a rainy winter created a string of cancelations.

“If I had been able to have lessons all the way through, we might have been able to hold on for a few months,” Edwards said. “But every time it rained, I had to call lessons. We can’t run horses for therapy. There are some people who will have horses go through the mud, but my guys are handling very fragile cargo, and we can’t have them slipping

and falling on a kid.”

The novel coronavirus has also upped the financial burden on caring for the horses. Hay prices have doubled recently, and feed has gone up in price.

Feeding the horses has jumped from about $200 a week to around $500 to $600 a week, Edwards said. That figure does not include medical care.

With slashed income and a shutdown, the organization has been forced to rehome nearly half of its therapy horses.

“These horses are so well trained, and people really wanted them,” Edwards said. “But a lot of the horses are older, and we can’t give them to anybody and have to figure out a way to carry them.

They are all the old guys. They can do therapy, but you can’t take them on trail rides, and they are not going to show.

They would wind up at a kill shelter.”

The group’s mini horses will remain with Special Equestrians. Edwards hopes they can continue to visit nursing homes and rehabilitation centers with the minis.

It breaks her heart to lose the horses, but Edwards said she’s especially concerned for those who use the organization’s programs.

“I feel so bad for the kids that are going to miss therapy,” she said. “In some cases, it is the only thing their families can afford to do. Many don’t have insurance. They can’t afford therapy and only get therapy in school, and school therapy is only about 20 minutes.”

One girl’s situation especially sticks out for Edwards.

“We had a little girl who started a couple of weeks back who has spina bifida,” she said. “We put her on the horse, and she giggled and laughed. When we went to do leg exercises, she said, ‘Oh, I have to take my pony home.’ We explained that [the horse] had to say here, but I told her she could feed the pony any day she wanted.”

Businesses scramble to adapt as customers keep their distance

By PATRICK FOX and JULIA GROCHOWSKI pat@appenmediagroup.com julia@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — With social distancing the new norm, businesses throughout the country are trimming operations.

Some have been hit harder than others. And some are taking novel approaches to their business model, observing heightened protocols to ward against the spread of the deadly coronavirus.

On March 18, Gov. Brian Kemp announced that Georgia has received an official statewide disaster declaration from the U.S. Small Business Administration that will provide Economic Injury Disaster Loans to impacted small businesses in all 159 counties in Georgia.

Kim Eells, senior vice president of SBA Business Development at Georgia Primary Bank, said Georgia has been added as a declared state for Coronavirus Disaster Loan Assistance with the SBA. Businesses that have been adversely affected by COVID-19 may now apply for Disaster Assistance directly with the SBA, no banks involved, Eells said. These loans are up to $2,000,000, up to 30-year term, fixed rate of 3.75 percent. You can apply online at sba. gov/disaster.

While that aid is welcome news to the thousands of small businesses in north Metro Atlanta, business owners are adapting in other ways.

Restaurants have been closing or are turning to take-out options.

Ryan Pernice, owner of Table & Main and Osteria Mattone in Roswell, and Coalition Food and Beverage in Alpharetta, says they’ve had to change their entire business model.

“It was pretty much as if someone had flipped a switch about two weeks ago,” he said. “All of a sudden, we reached the tipping point with the news and the sound and fury surrounding this, and revenue just fell off a cliff...

It just didn’t make sense to stay open anymore.”

To adapt, Pernice has combined the most popular dishes from his restaurants into one menu, from which people can order for take-out from his only open restaurant: Osteria Mattone.

He said he worries about his staff.

“Everyone is very concerned with their jobs,” Pernice said. “We’ve got

hourly employees that have been, in essence, furloughed, because we didn’t have anything for them to do… In effect, we have about 120 employees that are sitting on the sidelines right now while we try and adapt.”

For now, Pernice said, the best way to support restaurants like his are to order take-out and consider buying gift cards, which can help owners and staff immediately.

“Even just positivity online will help us,” he said. “For your favorite restaurant, share their menu, talk about the to-go options, a word of encouragement helps.”

Finding employment, helping out Those looking for a job can still find support during the pandemic.

The popular Roswell United Methodist Church Networking program, which meets every other week, has moved online.

The program regularly sees 200-300 people seeking job-hunting advice, companionship and leads.

Organizers launched a program March 23 providing online workshops

through Zoom and/or Webex. The service provides instructions for participation in the coming days along with updates at RUMCjobnetworking.com.

At the same time, some Roswell restaurants have stepped in to address food security concerns for students.

Mike Thomas, owner of Wild Slice Pizzeria in Roswell and his wife Cristy, a special needs kindergarten teacher at Esther Jackson Elementary School, started a school meal program that provides food for students in need while supporting local restaurants.

“Purchase gift cards to participating restaurants and donate the value to a school meal distribution program,” the couple said. “The restaurant prepares healthy meal options based on the amount of gift cards purchased. Volunteers pick up the meals and distribute them to the students in need.”

Several area restaurants are participating, including Gracious Plenty Bakery & Breakfast, PURE Taqueria, From the Earth Brewing Company, Big Oak Tavern and American Pasta Factory.

Schools or restaurants may par-

Business organizations step up Kali Boatright, president and CEO of the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, said chambers across the country are totally focused on helping businesses get through the crisis.

“What we’re doing, and most regional chambers are doing, is putting together guides that are an amalgam of all the different resources available to business,” she said.

When the Small Business Administration announced its $2 million in disaster recovery loans, she said the chamber immediately sent out the information along with a list of local banks who are preferred SBA lenders.

Boatright said Georgia Commute Options has moved up its commuting webinar series. Many small businesses, she said, have never explored telecommuting, and the chamber is distributing the information to help some businesses adapt and stay in operation, she said.

The primary concern of businesses across the board, she said, is the health and safety of their operations and their employees. Also of concern is the loss of employee incomes.

“That would be immediately devastating, not just to the employee and to the business, but to the entire community’s economics,” she said.

Boatright said she includes her cell phone number with her emails, and she has gotten plenty of calls.

“The idea is that I’m listening to our members and I’m able to see what it is they’re concerned about and what it is that they need [is important],” she said.

There are some steps the community can take to help out, she said.

She suggested people buy gift cards that can be used as a later date to help businesses through the tough times.

Another idea is to patronize businesses that may be struggling, like getting your car serviced.

“I’m going to do that now because I think that small business could use that support,” she said. “Certainly, if we’re all thoughtful about it, then we’re going to be able to make it through together.

That’s the goal.”

School Board members move to virtual connections Meeting includes plans under district shutdown

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com Unprecedented times call for unprecedented actions as the Fulton County Board of Education held its first ever virtual meeting March 19.

The board has not met in person since Feb. 20 and likely will not assemble in person until the “all clear” signal is given by public health officials.

A spokesman for Fulton Schools said the board will continue to heed the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which currently recommends groups greater than 10 not gather together.

In addition to routine business regarding contracts and budgetary issues, the board discussed actions related to the closure of all school buildings until further notice. Currently the district’s 94,000 students are continuing learning mainly online.

Remote Learning Update Fulton County was the first school system in the state to report staff members who tested positive for coronavirus, and it was among the first districts to close all schools and move to remote learning.

The move to online learning was facilitated by Fulton’s personal device process which assigns a device, such as a Chromebook, Surface or IPad, to students in grades 6-12, for use in and out of school.

“Many Fulton students whose schools began device deployment earlier this year are familiar with and using their devices to successfully complete and submit schoolwork,” School Superintendent Mike Looney said.

He said that while the students may need additional support from their teachers or technology support while completing assignments from home, the process is working.

For students in the younger grades or for those with no access to computers, the district purchased and quickly distributed nearly 3,300 devices to fill the gap.

“We appreciate the patience of our parents and staff as we continue this new phase of device deployment,” Looney said. “Just as students are learning digitally, we are also learning our way through this new process.”

Although the district has had “Digital Learning Days” on occasion to test the plan, it has never implemented remote learning to this scale.

“We are on our way, together, and

Fulton considers mid-April class resumption The Fulton County Board of Education is discussing the possibility of reopening schools the Monday after the district’s planned spring break, if the threat of coronavirus ends.

“It is likely Fulton County Schools will be closed through spring break (April 6-10) and [potentially] re-opening Monday, April 13,” Communications Chief Brian Noyes said.

He stressed no reopening date has been officially set. Gov. Brian Kemp has mandated school closure until the end of March.

On the other hand, students ending the year with remote learning still in place is a real possibility as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) remains an active threat.

“We want students to be back in schools as soon as possible,” said Fulton Schools Superintendent Mike Looney. “Remote learning is an option being deployed because of the current circumstances, but is not as effective as one of our Fulton County teachers in their classroom.”

The impact on personnel is significant, with most non-classroom or administrative employees currently sidelined until school reopens.

Looney said paychecks are continuing to staff, including those involved in food service, maintenance, custodial and transportation, among other eligible full- and part-time employees.

“Teachers and school administrators are actively engaging in remote learning to continue learning during this crisis,” Looney said. “Many employees are engaged in the food distribution program, and maintenance and custodial staff continue to maintain our facilities.”

To keep the sense of school community strong, Looney is encouraging people to share their stories using the hashtag #FCSrising on social media platforms.

“We want to see creative and inspiring examples of how [remote learning] is working in Fulton County,” Looney said.

Food Distribution Sites Fulton Schools is relying on the USDA’s “Seamless Summer Option” to serve meals to students during the school closure. The program is used to feed students during the summer and has expanded to cover the gap created with the coronavirus pandemic.

Last week the district offered meals at six sites across the district, delivering more than 15,000 meals to children.

Beginning this week, the meal distribution will be expanded to 21 sites, including five locations in North Fulton.

Distributions will occur from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on March 23, March 25 and March 27.

“This moves us from a centralized hub model to a more decentralized model and provides increased access to meals while also meeting public health guidance related to social distancing,” Looney said.

North Fulton sites include Esther Jackson, Mimosa and Vickery Mill elementary schools in Roswell; Haynes Bridge Middle in Alpharetta; and Holcomb Bridge Middle in Roswell.

Meals are available to all children 18 and younger, and the child must be present at pickup.

Addicted skin – Does your skin have a habit?

By DR. BRENT TAYLOR Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Many people assume that medications that do not require a prescription are relatively harmless. Over the Counter (OTC) DR. TAYLOR medications include drugs like acetaminophen (Tylenol®), ibuprofen, aspirin, and, in dermatology, hydrocortisone.

Given the current opioid epidemic, almost everyone is aware of the dangers of abusing prescription drugs, but I have found that a fair number of my patients have caused themselves harm with some very common OTC medications.

Medications like Tylenol have a lower therapeutic window meaning that the toxic dose is not much higher than the recommended daily dose. A toxic does of Tylenol causes liver failure.

Other medications like aspirin can cause stomach ulcers and bleeding when taken in abundance. In dermatology, the over the counter medication with which patients often have the most problems is hydrocortisone. It is present in numerous medications including Cortizone-10® and some types of Preparation H® as well as eczema and itch-relief creams. Hydrocortisone is a topical steroid.

Steroids are wonder drugs in medicine. Before steroids were available, many diseases were a death sentence or at least a sentence to a life of pain and disability. Steroids suppress the immune system broadly. They have the ability to treat patients with diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and a host of other autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Steroids are also “dirty drugs” in the sense that they carry a host of side effects ranging from increased risk of cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetes to osteoporosis, trouble sleeping, anger issues and the list goes on. Nowadays, medications with fewer side effects are available, but steroids remain indispensable in many circumstances.

When used on the skin, topical steroids are also a mixed blessing. They are amazing at helping with poison ivy and are still the go-to medication for most cases of eczema and many nonspecific itchy rashes. However, topical steroids used chronically will thin the skin, cause easy bruising, stretch marks and fragile skin. And even a few days of applying topical steroids to the face

can sometimes lead to “addicted skin,” that breaks out in acne-like lesions or rashes whenever someone stops using the topical steroid. If someone unwittingly uses hydrocortisone on the face, he or she may develop a case of perioral dermatitis or steroid acne that can take weeks or months of oral antibiotics and other topical medications to quiet down and control.

Another pitfall of topical steroids like hydrocortisone is their potential to make infections worse. Because steroids suppress the immune system, conditions of inappropriate immune activation like eczema and poison ivy rashes get better with steroids. Unfortunately, infections can get worse because we rely on an intact immune system to fight bacteria, yeast and viruses. If that rash you thought was eczema turns out to be fungus, then putting a steroid on it can allow the fungus to grow. Certain medicated lip balms contain hydrocortisone and cause viral outbreaks. Again, topical steroids suppress the immune system.

So, if someone has ever had the “cold sore” virus HSV-1 (which between half and two thirds of the population has), then applying a topical steroid can allow the virus to reactivate and cause more frequent and worse cold sore outbreaks.

Likewise, I have seen many cases recently of parents putting hydrocortisone on their children’s eczema in the setting of a molluscum infection, and the molluscum has spread and become very severe.

A final important note: topical steroids generally do not cure anything – they merely control certain diseases.

Whenever possible, it is important to identify the underlying cause of the disease so that it can be addressed. As a vein specialist and dermatologist, I have many patients who thought they simply had “eczema” on their legs when in fact they had “stasis dermatitis” due to underlying vein disease. Curing vein disease not only often eliminates lower leg eczema but also often cures symptoms of leg pain, heaviness, night cramps, restless legs and other lower extremity complaints.

If you or a loved one has a skin ailment, particularly a concern for skin cancer or vein disease, consider making an appointment with Dr. Brent Taylor of Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Dr. Taylor is a board-certified dermatologist, fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon, and is certified by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine. We look forward to taking care of you.

COVID-19: When you need help staying safe at home Brought to You by Home Helpers of Alpharetta Home has a unique place in our lives as a place to be safe and secure, especially under the most trying circumstances.

For older adults over the age of 60, this has even more meaning today as we all come together to face the challenges of the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

The most recent guidelines of the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend that older adults severely limit personal contact and stay home altogether to reduce risk of exposure, as the virus impact is considerably more serious for those over 60 and individuals with preexisting conditions.

Here are some things to consider when staying home is your new norm: • Consult your doctor to obtain extra medications. Most prescription programs have mail order service that can deliver them directly to your door.

• Consider what groceries and home supplies you need to have for an extended home stay. At home delivery service is now available from many supermarkets, and you can request to have them left at your door to minimize contact.

• Call your doctor if you have an appointment to discuss whether you should postpone it or have a phone or online consult.

• Don’t forget to work in some exercise and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Spending time in your garden, birdwatching or stretching on your patio can be a refreshing break.

• Create a plan to call or video chat regularly with family and friends. Staying in touch and catching up with loved ones can help warm our hearts even if

they can’t be physically at hand.

• Call your more technically adept loved ones if you need help scheduling grocery deliveries, video chats, etc.

In these uncertain times, sheltering in the safety and security of home with limited exposure to others is recommended by experts to minimize the risk of contracting coronavirus. However, this may not be possible for your older loved one without some dedicated help that provides a safe alternative that also helps limit their chances of virus exposure. Whether it’s a concern about their ability to navigate daily tasks, being socially isolated, making sure their environment is secure and clean or needing a caregiver you can trust when you can’t be there, we’re here to help.

As part of our community, we are committed to keeping our older loved ones safe and help them thrive – never more so than in these times. Home Helpers is dedicated to providing truly personalized care delivered by carefully matched, heart-centered professional caregivers.

Well trained in infection control, you are working with skilled professionals that have been trained to work with a personalized care plan. They can assist with all personal care, help around the house, follow proper disinfectant practices, provide specialized care for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc. The companionship and assistance a caregiver can provide can help calm anxiety and boost self-confidence.

We’d be happy to discuss the needs of your older loved one. For a free in-home consultation and personalized plan contact Home Helpers of Alpharetta today at (678) 430-8511.

Charity braces for pandemic’s long-term effects

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — As local businesses and schools continue to limit hours or close outright, North Fulton Community Charities has temporarily suspended several of its services.

The charity, which helps address hunger and homelessness in North Fulton, is now operating on emergency services, meaning programs like the education center, thrift store and volunteering opportunities are now closed.

The move coupled with the pandemic will have long reaching effects, as the impacted programs help some of the most vulnerable in North Fulton, according to Director of Communications and Marketing Sheila Sillitto.

“This is not a short-term fix for us,” she said. “We can get food right now, but the people being effected are the people that live paycheck-to-paycheck already. When those paychecks stop coming in, or those paychecks fall short, that affects them for the long term.”

Sillitto said that this could prolong recovery weeks, months, even years for some of their patrons. With many hourly wage earners seeing their incomes cut off or reduced, she said they may have trouble making payments, finding food and obtaining medical assistance.

North Fulton Community Charities is still providing vital services to its clientele, like food and financial assistance.

“Right now, our focus is on providing financial assistance remotely, electronically, and getting food out via the food pantry,” Sillitto said. “We’re modifying daily to make changes for the safety of everyone. Today, for example, clients are lining up in their cars, and we’re bringing food

to them. And we’re moving toward an appointment system, where they can just come in to pick up the food that’s already been prepared for them.”

North Fulton Community Charities usually sees over 100 families on a regular basis, and the coronavirus has not reduced that number. What it has changed is how staff is operating to promote safety and practice social distancing. To that end, it has closed its main lobby off from public use and is regularly sanitizing areas.

“We’re trying to limit contact as much as possible,” Sillitto said. “Our families, just like everyone else, are preparing to be home, and they want to have the supplies that they need.”

The organization has served the North Fulton area for nearly 40 years.

“This is completely unprecedented territory for us,” Sillitto said. “We’ve never faced anything quite something like this.”

The closest situation Sillitto could compare the current to is Hurricane Katrina, when Atlanta sheltered evacuees and North Fulton Community Charities was inundated with a “huge surge” of people in need.

But unlike Katrina, Sillitto said, “We didn’t have the contamination issues that we’re dealing with right now and the spread of the disease.”

Even without volunteering, there are still ways people can help support North Fulton Community Charities and vulnerable populations: financial donations.

“The best way to help right now is financial donations, because they allow us to help the most people in the shortest amount of time,” Sillitto said. “Because this is going to be a very long-term issue, that’s the best way they can have the greatest effect.”

For more information or to donate, visit nfcchelp.org.

Alpharetta donates produce to local charities organization The City of Alpharetta is donating 75 bushels of produce to North Fulton Community Charities each week to help aid in food distribution during the coronavirus pandemic.

The food is grown at the Old Rucker Park farms as part of a program with the Cambridge High School Agriculture Department. Students help grow and sell the produce, with funds going toward student scholarship.

The city usually donates all of the food grown during the summer, when students aren’t in school, to the nonprofit. But, as the coronavirus pandemic has now shut down schools, organizers decided to immediately donate the food, mostly various greens such as kale, collards and mustard greens.

“Donating the fresh produce we are growing at Old Rucker Farm to NFCC is the right thing to do at this time,” said Morgan Rodgers, Alpharetta Recreation, Parks & Cultural Services director. “Alpharetta is a strong and generous community, we look out for each other, and fresh produce is the most requested and hardest to source item for NFCC. This is just one example of how we can help our neighbors in need.”

Local basketball phenoms earn national honors

By ZACH SHUGAN news@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — Following standout campaigns for their teams during the 2019-20 season, two local boys basketball players garnered national recognition from one of the top authorities in the sport.

Dwon Odom of St. Francis and Bruce Thornton of Milton High School were named honorable mentions for the 2020 Naismith All-American teams. This year’s list featured 45 of the top boys basketball players across the country.

Odom capped off his high school career at St. Francis by leading the Knights to their second straight Class A-Private state title. The senior point guard averaged 20.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, as the Knights finished 29-3 overall and 16-0 in region play.

Odom scored over 2,000 points in his four years at St. Francis, becoming the second-leading scorer in the history

Charity: Continued from Page 5 Edwards said the girl showed up every day to feed the horse in the weeks that followed. The animal has since been rehomed.

“How do you say to this little girl her pony is gone?” Edwards said. “What do you say? I called her mom and told her when everything gets back, I can find a pony for her. But I don’t know if I can.”

It is not just children who have benefited from Special Equestrians.

Kayla Bergeron, who lives in Suwanee, is a survivor of 9/11.

Bergeron was working as an official with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in the North Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

After the tower was struck, she made the 68-story descent out of the building before it collapsed.

Bergeron survived, but she has since suffered from PTSD. She uses several forms of therapy, but she said Special Equestrians provides a tranquility she finds nowhere else.

She had no real history with horses prior to her time with the organization, and the limited equestrian experience she did have was not positive. When she was 9, Bergeron said she was riding a horse with a neighbor when the animal was spooked by a nearby fox. The horse took off and charged into a tree with low-hanging branches, leaving the young Bergeron bruised and cut.

Local players, coaches honored by state coach’s association

Visit northfulton.com for the story of the hoops program. He signed with Xavier University, where we he will begin his collegiate career this fall.

Thornton was one of seven underclassmen in the country to make the Naismith honorable mention list. The sophomore guard helped Milton finish with a 26-5 record on the season and return to the final four for the first time since 2016.

Thornton was named the Region 5-AAAAAAA Player of the Year after averaging 23.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game in the regular season.

The Eagles went undefeated in region play and won their second-straight region title but fell to eventual state champion Wheeler in the final four.

But her first day at Special Equestrians showed her the calming benefits horses can provide.

“I kind of had this romantic notion that I would get on a horse, and I would live happily ever after,” Bergeron said.

“That’s not the relationship with horses, though. But something happened that day. Lily (the horse) was there, and I kind of went up to her, and she put her head on my shoulder. It was a true release of emotion and energy. She must have sensed something was wrong and provided relief. That’s what they do.

They march to their own beat, but they sense when people are hurt or needing.”

That was around a year ago, and Bergeron has been back at Special Equestrians just about every week since.

“I’m seeing kids go there with challenges across the spectrum,” Bergeron said. “When you see them get out of the car, they are very unsteady and very unsure. Then you get them on a horse, and they come into their own. It’s one of the beauties of life.”

Like many, she was devastated to hear the organization is shutting down, but she hopes the community will rally around the group. “[During 9/11], there was a point when I was trapped in the dark because the building had twisted. I said a little prayer, and just then a Port Authority cop showed up and took me out of the building. Sometimes is just takes one act. And it can take just one individual or one check to keep [Special Equestrians] afloat.”

The group is taking donations through specialequestriansofgeorgia.org.

GHSA: No decision on spring sports until schools are back in session

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — The GHSA will not consider resuming the halted spring sports season until schools are back in session, a spokesman for the organization said. With the statewide closure of all public and private schools, high school sports are suspended until at least March 31.

Steve Figueroa, GHSA media director, said the organization will have no further comment until after the school shutdown has ended.

“If at that point in time schools resume, we will make plans then,” he said. “But only then. It is pointless for us to discuss plans now when we do not even know if schools will start back March 31 or when they might start back afterwards.”

The spring sports season — which includes baseball, lacrosse, soccer, golf, track and field, gymnastics and tennis — was put on hold for all Fulton County Schools March 13. Soon after, Forsyth County Schools and all local private institutions also suspended after school activities, including sports.

No purchase necessary.

All Services on All Makes and Models

On March 16, Gov. Brian Kemp announced all elementary, secondary and post-secondary schools would be closed statewide until March 31. Though local schools were already closed, Kemp’s decision led to the statewide suspension of all high school sports.

If the spring season does resume after March 31, the GHSA could implement what would likely be a highly expedited schedule. Under the organization’s schedule, tennis, soccer and baseball are set to complete the regular season the week of April 16. The golf and lacrosse seasons are scheduled to end April 25 and May 5, respectively.

The regular season for some spring sports had yet to reach the halfway point when the schools closure began.

Most local baseball and soccer teams have played only a handful of region games.

COVID-19 has all but shut down the sports landscape across much of the globe. Locally, the virus spurred the cancellation of the NCAA Tournament Final Four slated for Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Masters in Augusta and the NASCAR race weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
