A note to our readers
MILTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY/SPECIAL
Adding to the history books Milton Historical Society President Jeff Dufresne (third from right) accepts a donation of three original deeds from the 1832 Georgia land lottery that includes property in present-day Milton. The deeds were donated by Milton residents Byron Foster, his sister Shirley Morgan and their cousin Helen Gilleland, who found the documents in the basement of her Sandy Springs home, which she inherited from family members. Gilleland gave Foster the documents because his property on Westbrook Road in the northeast portion of the city was originally within Land Lot 260 in the 1832 lottery. The state’s land lotteries, which occurred from 1805 to 1832, distributed land that had previously been occupied by the Muscogee (Creek) peoples and Cherokee Nation. Each lot in the 1832 lottery contained 40 acres. Pictured (L to R): Helen Gilleland, Shirley Morgan, Byron Foster, Jeff Dufresne, Amy Dubroc and Laura Foster. 2020

The two men placed items in their shopping carts, then walked out of the building without paying. The men both stole one Roomba vacuum, each valued at $350. The Target employee told police they had a lead on a possible suspect and provided police with the person’s name and license plate number. When police looked up the suspect in their system, they found the man had recently been involved in two shoplifting incidents at two different nearby Target locations. The suspect was listed as the offender in a May 18 shoplifting at Target in Roswell, as well as a July 2 shoplifting at Target in Suwanee. No arrests were made, as police had no footage conclusively tying the suspect to the most recent Target theft.

NEWS
Milton settles on tree ordinance Alpharetta closes By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Following years of talks, tweaks and backpedaling, Milton has approved an updated tree ordinance designed to preserve the city’s natural canopy. The Milton City Council voted unanimously to approve the ordinance update at its Aug. 3 meeting. While a tree ordinance is hardly the most exciting local government topic for residents, it does hold significance for all homeowners. The regulations dictate when a homeowner must receive a permit to cut down a tree on their property and how much canopy coverage their land must retain. They also impact the overall look of the city by essentially preventing clearcutting. Highlighting the list of regulations is the minimum amount of required tree canopy coverage — the total area occupied by all trees on a property when they are fully grown. There are three tiers for AG-1 properties. Lots with 1 to 1.49 acres must have 57 percent coverage, and lots with 1.5 to 2.99 acres must have 40 percent coverage. To incentivize larger residential lots, properties that are 3 acres or more require only 25 percent coverage. Lots that have less coverage than the required percentage must maintain the level of canopy that currently exists. Properties with a legitimate agricultural use are exempt from the canopy regulations.
A homeowner looking to cut down a large tree will now need to break out a measuring tape. Under the regulations, a permit is required to remove any trees with a 15-inch diameter at breast height, a common method of measuring tree size. That measurement has fluctuated throughout the rewrite of the regulations and nearly doubled from the originally proposed 8-inch measurement. After years of discussions, the council called an audible at the Aug. 3 meeting and raised the size stipulation from 12 to 15 inches.
That move came through a request from Scott Reese of Milton-based land surveying and planning firm Brumbelow-Reese and Associates. Reese said identifying all larger trees on a sizeable property would be taxing. “From a logistics standpoint, trying to locate every 12-inch pine tree and sweetgum makes our job virtually impossible on larger tracts of land,” Reese said. Council members were amenable and raised the size standard. Reese’s previous comments helped kick off the ordinance rewrite. After about 18 months of drafting updates, the City Council approved an updated tree ordinance in early 2018. However, Reese and others said the stipulations were far too stringent. The city then went back to the drawing board and remained there until the Aug. 3 meeting. The new ordinance also includes language on “understory” canopy coverage, smaller trees that underly the canopy of larger specimens. Any of these trees, which could include dogwoods, redbuds and the like, would be considered “protected” trees if their diameter at breast height is above 8 inches, and would require a permit to be removed. The regulations also allow for “reasonable discretion” for removing trees on existing, developed properties. While discussions on the regulations are done for now, the ordinance will be under review again in fall 2022 to evaluate its effectiveness.
Wills Park pools
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta’s Wills Park pool was closed Aug. 3 after a staff member was confirmed as having contracted COVID-19. While the individual did not have direct contact with the public, the pool will be closed until further notice, the city said in a statement. “One of the employees who doesn’t have direct contact with the public, but has direct contact with other employees including lifeguards, was not feeling well and went and got tested,” said Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard. “That test came back positive.” Over the next two weeks, the pool staff will be quarantined and/or tested, and the pool area, which includes a wading pool and a competition pool, will be cleaned in accordance with recommended guidelines, Drinkard said. Those guidelines do not include draining the pools, which are infused with chlorine regularly to kill all germs and viruses. Diving boards, handrails, bathrooms and all other exposed services will be cleaned. The city will then bring in a professional service to disinfect the entire facility in accordance with CDC guidelines. “We’ll talk with our vendor about exactly when the best time to schedule it is and try to push that closer to the time

Reopening plan for Fulton Schools draws debate Parents say inclusion of Atlanta numbers skews infection data By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — With COVID-19 positive cases in Fulton County appearing to level, school system leaders face the decision of when students can
return to the classroom, where most experts believe learning is best achieved. For many parents in the district, a return to in-school learning could not come quickly enough. The “phased-reopening” plan released by the Fulton County School System last month does not see that happening for most students until well after Labor Day. Small groups of younger students (K-2) and those in special education programs could return for a short time, one day a week,

in the second week of September. The district’s criteria for an in-person return is driven by the countywide “new diagnosis” rate falling below 100 cases per 100,000 population over the previous two weeks. Compounding the issue is the data includes the City of Atlanta, which accounts for more than half of the COVID-19 cases in Fulton County, and which has its own school system. Cities in North Fulton, including Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton and Roswell, account for fewer than 20 percent of cases; with most already nearing the threshold of 100/100K. Fulton Schools says at this time the district is looked at as a whole for reopening, regardless of whether local data differs. Students will still have the option of remote learning. “We continue to look at the possibility of opening sections of the district based on more localized community spread, but have identified numerous operational obstacles to such a plan,” said Brian
Noyes, director of communication for Fulton Schools. Those obstacles include transportation, resources and staffing among other concerns of having different instructional plans across the district’s more than 100 schools. However, some parents pushed back on the plans for reopening. “I find the opening matrix disappointing, as it does not give our most at-risk students who need the [in-person instruction] the most the prioritization they deserve,” parent Martine Zurinskas said. “I am also disappointed we are looking at Fulton County data as a whole [because it is not] an accurate representation for Fulton County Schools.” Many parents took to the district’s social media sites to ask similar questions, including why it is safe enough for sports to resume but not safe enough for students to return.

Milton greenlights historical church’s activity center By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com
HERALD FILE PHOTO
Ebenezer United Methodist sanctuary in Milton is set to expand its footprint with new facilities at the intersection of Arnold Mill Road and Cox Road.
MILTON, Ga. — Nearly 170 years after the establishment of the first Ebenezer United Methodist sanctuary in Milton, the church is set to expand its footprint with new facilities at the intersection of Arnold Mill Road and Cox Road. The Milton City Council unanimously approved the church expansion at its Aug. 3 meeting. The plan calls for a 23,000 square foot activity center and pavilion that will be used by the church for worship services, weddings and other events. Pastor Glenn Hannigan said he wants the facility to be a gathering place for the community, and the church will open the activity center to the public. The church’s addition will include a commercial kitchen, open space, fire pit and a stage. The final design will still need the go-ahead from the Design Review Board before construction can begin. The church has proposed a “modern barn” appearance using Scottsdale Farms as inspiration. Regie Elkins, representing Ebenezer United, said the church hopes to begin construction in the next two to three months. The council’s vote in favor of the site included two variances, including a re-
duction in the amount of required parking spaces from 220 to 144 spots and to allow parking in front of the building. The applicants also had to agree to place a 15-foot landscape buffer along Cox Road. City staff and the Planning Commission showed support for the center. The application was deferred from the February Planning Commission meeting to rework the site plan. Cancellation of commission meetings due to the coronavirus pandemic further pushed back the timeline of the city’s review. The activity center comes along with a recent expansion to Ebenezer’s presence along at the intersection of Arnold Mill and Cox Roads. Recently the congregation purchased additional acreage to push its total to over 6 acres to allow for the activity center. Ebenezer is a popular wedding venue and hosts two Sunday services at its sanctuary, which was built in 1930. The original structure from 1853 burned down, and the congregation came together to rebuild the church during the Great Depression. With bank loans putting a hard stop on lending, church members brought a portable sawmill to the site and donated trees to construct the sanctuary that stands today, Hannigan said.

Agans named new principal at Cambridge High School
MILTON, Ga. — Ashley Agans has been tapped the newest principal at Cambridge High School, taking the reins of the school as it opens under virtual instruction. She was previously an assistant principal at Johns Creek High School. Agans has been with the Fulton County School System since 2006 when she served Northview High School as a social studies teacher and department chair. In 2014 she was promoted to assistant principal at Autrey Mill AGANS Middle School until taking the position at Johns Creek High in 2017. Agans comes prepared to lead Cambridge under the “new normal” of education in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in March, she served as the instructional and organizational leader for COVID-19 response at Johns Creek High. “I am excited to be the new principal at Cambridge High School and hopeful for the opportunity to meet our students soon,” Agans said. “Our Cambridge teachers and staff are work-

ing diligently to create an engaging, rigorous virtual environment for our students.” She said that while everyone wants things back to “normal” as soon as possible, she views it as an opportunity to grow. “I have been sending videos to the community to introduce myself and will continue this practice,” she said. “I want our parents and students to feel comfortable reaching out to me for questions as well as comfortable to join us in the building once conditions allow.” Agans’ responsibilities included developing safety and sanitation plans for school spaces, training parents and teachers on ways to maximize virtual learning, and shifting events from in-person to virtual, including Senior Recognition, Virtual Graduation, Graduation Week, and “Diploma Drive By.” Agans earned a bachelor’s degree in speech communication at the University of Georgia, a Masters in Education from Georgia State University, and most recently a Specialist Degree in School Leadership from North Georgia College and State University. She replaces former principal Kim Premoli who was named the dean of Academics at Marist School last month. — Candy Waylock

We deployed data-gathering initiatives, and our staff made hundreds of calls over weeks just trying to hear what our business owners needed. LAURA STEWART, Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce 8 | Milton Herald | August 13, 2020
Forsyth Chamber to administer applications for federal aid Efforts have included teaming with chamber from North Fulton By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — There is no playbook on how to assist businesses in a pandemic-induced economic crash. The aid and resources needed by companies have shown to be moving targets. For its part, the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce is doing what it can, including providing valuable information and looking ahead to economic recovery, to support local companies as they traverse unchartered waters. The Chamber has begun accepting applications for small businesses to receive federal financial support through the $2.2 trillion federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Forsyth County tasked the Chamber with administering the program, and after quickly forming guidelines, the organization has started to process applications. The first-come-first-served program will be taking applications until Aug. 19. The Chamber drew up guidelines on what businesses could receive funds and what companies would qualify. A single-owner businesses with no employees can receive $2,000 in relief funds. Companies with two to five employees could receive $5,000 and businesses with 6-25 workers would be granted $7,500. Companies with
26-499 employees would be eligible for $10,000. Businesses must also meet a set of requirements, including that their company is based in Forsyth County, they can show sales losses due to COVID-19 and other provisions. Being a member of the Chamber is not a requirement to receive funds. As the Chamber heads the relief program, it is continuing its Together4FOCO initiative to provide information, resources and webinars to help guide business owners and employees through an extraordinary period. “Together4FOCO is a reaction to a health crisis, but particularly from an economic recovery perspective, it is meant to assist, lend support and rally support for local businesses,” said Laura Stewart with the Chamber. Stewart said the aim is for the Together4FOCO website and Facebook group to be a “one-stop shop” for small businesses to communicate with one another and the community, and to find out crucial information. The Chamber teamed up with Forward Forsyth, the county’s economic development driver, to form the program. Stewart said creating Together4FOCO was like building a plane as it was being flown, but talks with those impacted by the
economic downturn steered the program along. “We are regularly monitoring the pulse of the business community in the area, and unemployment, even in the best of times,” Stewart said. “So, when something like a pandemic comes along, we know we need to be turning our attention to what recovery looks like. Really, in a lot of ways, we did the best we could trying to gauge needs. We deployed data-gathering initiatives, and our staff made hundreds of calls over weeks just trying to hear what our business owners needed.” The result was a string of webinars covering a wide array of topics, updates on legislation and CDC guidelines, how to apply for federal aid and more. There was also a list of local businesses to promote shopping local, and the Chamber teamed up with the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce to host a series of virtual job fairs. “What is exciting for us to see, especially thinking back to March and April and all the uncertainty, it is wonderful to see so many businesses come out the other side,” Stewart said. Of course, businesses are far from out of the woods. “We’re navigating the future of what these initiatives look like, and how does it redefine our work plan, certainly for this year but also for years to come,” Stewart said. “We have an annual work plan, and definitely think going into our 2021 work plan, there will be elements there that we never would have forecasted putting in previously. But that’s what happens in an event like this, and you learn a lot.”

OPINION
I never did like Clark Howard Sometimes the key in writing a successful column — or a successful advertisement or short story — is a headline that grabs a reader and pulls them in. I learned this from David Ogilvy, the guy RAY APPEN Publisher Emeritus who sort of invented ray@appenmediagroup.com advertising as we know it today. David preached headlines. “That’s the way people read,” he said. “They skim headlines until they stumble upon something that sparks their interest, then they read what is below it. Study the cover of Reader’s Digest,” he said, “and you’ll learn the fine art of writing headlines that work.” For those of you born after 1960 or so, Readers Digest was sort of a pocket-sized magazine that you bought in grocery stores. Its front cover was basically a list of all the stories and articles inside, sort of like an index but with more panache. It was founded in 1922 and is still the largest paid circu-
lation magazine in the world, reaching over 40 million people worldwide each issue. For some reason, I doubt that Clark Howard ever read Reader’s Digest. I don’t know why I think that; it’s just a hunch. Maybe that’s why I don’t like Clark. How can you like someone who doesn’t like Reader’s Digest? I mean, someone like that probably kicks dogs too. You think? But, if I’m honest, what’s not to like about the guy? I mean, his purpose in life is to help you save money, not spend more than you have. So, with the money you save, you can go out and, well, maybe spend a week oceanside at Sea Island. In the unlikely event that you don’t know about him, Clark Howard has a radio show. He is also rich. And he is famous. And instead of treating his prostate cancer, took the wait and watch approach instead of going under the surgeon’s knife or being zapped by radiation like the rest of us. And knowing Clark, he got away with that. His Wikipedia page says this: “The Clark Howard Show is heard every day on more than 200 radio stations throughout North America, and airs from WSB in Atlanta.” Big bucks. National exposure. Just for telling you how to save a penny here and a penny there. Really? I hate this guy.

And my wife just loves him. “Clark says this,” “Clark says that.” I am sure if I never hear that again the rest of my life, it will be too soon. And, for the record, he gets it wrong sometimes too — not that my wife would agree. He says never buy that supplemental insurance/warranty. “It’s not a good value” he says. And my wife buys it hook, line and sinker. I always buy the extended insurance. Always. And 99.99 percent of the time I buy it, I use it. I buy it on those jump-start batteries, on flashlights, on tools, on HVACs, and on new cars and more. Clark would never, ever buy a new car, much less the extended warranty. I don’t think I have ever had an iPhone that I didn’t use that extended warranty to get it replaced or repaired — for free. (Clark would say it’s not free). I even buy the extra insurance for my wife’s iPhones — always. You think this would be appreciated? How’s this: “Clark says iPhones are terrible purchases because Androids do everything iPhones do for a fraction of the price.” Hate the guy. Anyway, because it works so well for him, I’m giving you a tip on how to save money. I want to be rich. Being famous wouldn’t be that bad either. Here you go. My son Carl, who is smarter than Clark, recently needed to have a program written. The next day, I asked him
how his project was going. He said it was finished. “How did you get the code written?” I asked him. “That is always very expensive. How much did that set you back?” “Twenty bucks,” he said. “No, way” I replied. “Yep.” “How?” “I just described the code I needed and posted it on a sub domain of Reddit. com and said I would pay $20 to have it written,” Carl said. “I got the code in less than hour after I did the post. I paid the guy with Venmo.“ The look in my face must have screamed “How, what!?” So he explained that the site was sort of like a reverse Ebay where someone posts a “work needed” and how much they are willing to pay, and then other people bid down what they are willing to do the work for — even writing code. I could just imagine some person on the other side of the world trawling this website all day and cranking out code a couple times an hour. But I am sure that Clark would say that was too risky. You know how conservative he is. He probably wouldn’t even like another site Carl told me about — BuggyBusters.com So, maybe the headline for this column should be “Don’t go to BuggyBusters.com” or else.” Now can I be rich too?

He said he is aware of reports of an increase in private school enrollment, as most private schools in the area are opening with in-person learning. Fulton Schools has seen declining enrollment over the past several years and had expected to enroll fewer students this year — even before the pandemic struck. “As in any year, we see parents making choices regarding private and home school options,” Noyes said. “In our current environment, we anticipate we will see both withdraws and new enrollments associated with these choices. It is impossible to fully assess the net impact this year until after the 20th day count.” Next year’s projected enrollment is expected to fall to just under 94,000 students — returning to levels last seen in 2013.

School disruptions impact special needs students By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — When COVID-19 shut down face-to-face instruction in Fulton County Schools in March, Scott Jeffries was like many parents with concerns for their children learning in a virtual environment. He was especially concerned for his son, Jake, a rising freshman at Roswell High School, who has Down Syndrome and receives special education services. It turns out he was right to be concerned. Instead of the daily, focused instruction that Jake received in school, his son’s school week consisted of two weekly virtual sessions, approximately an hour in length, where students in his small, self-contained class would gather. “It basically ended up with the students talking to each other about what they had for breakfast,” Jeffries said. Each child has an Individualized Education Plan with a focus on how to meet the student’s unique needs. In Jake’s small group of students, the needs are across the board, but the resources were all the same. Jeffries said he was devastated to learn Fulton Schools will resume virtual instruction this month. This leaves he and his wife to continue working from home, while trying to meet Jake’s
educational needs, along their two other children. “This is my frustration…there are 10 to 20 buildings [in Roswell alone] they can open up for special needs services,” Jeffries said. “They are not even trying to see if they can do it. When kids are already five steps behind other kids, [the district] is setting them up for more failure.” Special education classes are small by design, allowing easy social distancing. Even a few hours a day would be a huge benefit to help retain their skills, Jeffries noted. Virtual classes have limits In Fulton County Schools, approximately 17 percent of students — about 16,000 students — are served in classes where instruction is tailored to their special needs. Virtual instruction makes this nearly impossible. Fulton School leaders admit the decision to move to virtual in March was a quick one without clear plans initially. This year, Fulton’s phased reopening could allow limited in-person instruction after Labor Day, for short time frames, for PreK-2 and special education students. “We fully understand various populations of students require services above their non-disabled peers [so] 180 minutes of face to face will be provided,” said Chris Matthews, assistant superin-
tendent of Student Support Services. Jeffries said this is a “minor concession” to the much larger problem of keeping students with special needs fully engaged with the services they require. “[Phase One] means Jakes gets three hours a week of education instead of zero,” Jeffries said. “The second phase goes to a half a day a week. How does this differ from three hours?” He said many “typical’ students struggle with online learning, but most are able to rebound from setbacks. That is not the case with kids with special needs. After three months of virtual learning and a summer with few resources, Jeffries said there has been a clear loss of learning from where Jake was in March. “There has been huge regression,” Jeffries said. “Jake needs constant repetition and a routine. Home is his ‘safe’ space and school is where he learns. He struggles with [understanding] home is now where he learns.” In talking with other parents, Jeffries said the consensus was universal about the failure of the spring semester for special needs students. All were struggling to provide resources and instruction to their children. Tough on a single mother Single parent Kelly Pierce is struggling to be her son’s teacher, meet his educa-
tional needs, while working full time to keep food on the table and the lights on. “The day I learned [Fulton] was going virtual, kicked me in the stomach,” Pierce said. “I don’t want a pity party…I know people have lives more difficult than mine, but it’s hard and a whole level of craziness.” Her son is on the autism spectrum and receives speech and occupational services — neither of which translates easily into a virtual delivery. “He struggles to speak and be heard on the microphone,” Pierce said. “He needs to be face to face with his teachers and go back to what he knows.” Jeffries said emails and calls to the school district expressing his concerns landed him in a circular rotation of expressed concerns, then handoff to someone else. “[Everyone] was nice, they quickly replied, then sent it to someone else to address,” Jeffries said. “But no one said anything about making any changes or help.” The school district says it is trying to address the situation. Assistant Superintendent Matthews said plans are being made to try and make up gaps created by the disruption in special education services. These may include after-school/weekend options, mini camps during school breaks and specialized summer recovery opportunities.

Platelet rich plasma and thicker hair By DR. BRENT TAYLOR Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Everyone would like to have thicker hair. Well, almost everyone -- but our focus today is not on those rare unicorns whose comDR. TAYLOR plaint is that their hair is just too thick, too luxurious and too lustrous. This article is for the rest of us who would like to have more or thicker hair or at least stop losing what we have. A number of treatment options have been the staple considerations for normal male and female pattern hair loss for years. For men, finasteride, minoxidil and hair transplantation have long been the most effective interventions. Women’s treatment options used to be even more limited, with minoxidil alone being the main option for female pattern hair loss. However, a growing body of research supports that hormone replacement and/or platelet rich plasma injections could be the miracle grow for failing follicles! First, a note about hormone replacement therapy: A physician named Dr. Glaser published an article in the British Journal of Dermatology in 2012 which made an observation that has unfortunately gained little attention likely because it runs counter to how people usually think about hair loss and testosterone. Dr. Glaser surveyed 285 women who had been on subcutaneous testosterone therapy for more than a year for the treatment of androgen deficiency and 63% of the women who had reported hair thinning prior to treatment reported hair thickening after treatment began. This finding has received little attention, but a 63% response rate deserves further investigation. Several patients in my own clinic who complained of thinning hair, went on androgen replacement prescribed by their endocrinologist or ob-gyn for other reasons. These patients’ hair became markedly thicker and more voluminous on testosterone. Although Premier Dermatology does not offer hormone replacement therapy (HRT), androgen levels are one of the laboratory tests that we order as part of our screening panel for causes of hair loss. If we have a female hair loss patient with low androgen levels (either low or “low normal”), we offer referral to a physician who performs HRT for discussion of risks and benefits of a trial of androgen replacement therapy for hair loss. Results that we have seen have paralleled the 63% response rate that Dr. Glaser published.
Second and just as exciting, Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as PRP, is an option that is fast becoming an important treatment strategy for treating hair loss in both men and women, be it for common hair thinning or for certain alopecia syndromes. PRP is a blood product derived from a patient’s own blood. The process involves the following: A fraction of blood (up to 22ml in our practice) is drawn from the individual patient into a syringe (depends on the extent of hair loss). This is a relatively small amount compared to blood donation. The blood then is spun in a centrifuge to separate its components (White & Red Blood Cells, Platelet Rich Plasma and Platelet Poor Plasma). The Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is collected into a syringe. The PRP is then injected into a treatment area (the scalp for hair loss). The basis behind PRP is that growth factors and other proteins within platelets promote healing and induce tissue regeneration and rejuvenation. Platelets contain growth factors and biologically active molecules that are normally released when platelets are outside of blood vessels such as when a person gets a cut and starts to bleed into surrounding tissue. Injecting PRP into the subdermal fat induces platelet degranulation (release of platelet contents) which causes tissue exposure to platelet growth factors. In plain terms, PRP delivers growth factors to stimulate hair follicles. To achieve best results, PRP is performed in a series of treatments. Typically, two to three treatments are performed once per month initially. It is often recommended that treatments take place every 6 months after the initial series of treatments to continue hair regeneration and maintain or enhance results. PRP has numerous other applications in dermatology – the most common of which is as an adjunct to microneedling for skin rejuvenation or treatment of acne scars. However, PRP’s greatest potential may be as a treatment to help grow or maintain hair. At Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta, we are committed to offering scientifically-backed, effective and state of the art treatments. Kathryn Filipek, PA-C has extensive cosmetic, surgical and medical dermatology experience and is responsible for the hair loss branch of our practice. If you are interested in exploring PRP and hair loss options, call today to make an appointment with Ms. Filipek. It is our privilege to take care of you and your family’s skin, vein, and hair care needs.

Managing senior health care challenges during a pandemic Brought to you by — Home Helpers Home Care of North Atlanta As COVID-19 has become a major force in all our lives, it’s important to understand the impact on the daily life of your older loved one. There are, of course, steps to take to maintain safe interactions in light of a pandemic that targets older age groups. Other overlooked health issues in today’s world can, however, be just as dangerous to their long- term health and continued well-being. Social isolation and distancing can be hard on all of us, but for seniors it can lead to overlooking existing health challenges that can rapidly decline. Decreased mobility and increased fall dangers can progress, ongoing hydration needs may not be maintained, urinary tract infections (UTI’s) can go untreated, and seniors undergoing rehabilitation can regress without continued exercise and assistance. You need to develop an ongoing wellness plan for a loved one with a neurological disorder, heart disease, cancer, stroke, or diabetic condition. Changes in individuals with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s often proceed more rapidly without intervention to manage ongoing physical and mental issues. The emotional impact of isolation for extended periods of time is well known, and depression can be a serious outcome. Ignoring new and existing health issues by seniors during this pandemic has been documented as an ongoing concern by experts. There are ways to safely navigate through a doctors’ appointment, whether via a telehealth or in person visit. Letting a new condition
or changes in their current health status go without addressing them can quickly reach a tipping point with the elderly. Your older loved one may not be able to see or address these changes without the intervention of a skilled professional. Providing both personal care and emotional support, in-home care by a heart centered Home Helpers caregiver can provide a safe, calming environment and alert you to changes in their health. The warm emotional bonds formed with a carefully selected caregiver can truly help with the social isolation that can be devastating during these times. During the increased challenges posed by a pandemic, your Home Helpers caregiver can make sure connections with family members are maintained, manage safe interactions with friends and neighbors, handle package or food deliveries safely and allow your older loved one to thrive. Well trained in infection control, our caregivers wear protective gear like face masks and gloves when appropriate, can take frequent temperature readings, check vital signs and prompt frequent hand washing. A carefully screened, trained and heart centered Home Helpers caregiver not only brings skills, but a heart centered approach that provides the best quality of life for our clients and their families. 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. We’re here and ready to discuss the needs of your older loved one. For a free consultation and personalized plan contact Home Helpers Home Care of North Atlanta today at (678) 4308511.

COVID continues to stagger high school sports rollout By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com GEORGIA — The Georgia High School Association announced Aug. 6 additional alterations to fall sports stemming the coronavirus pandemic. The organization canceled all football scrimmages and moved back the dates for two other activities. Competition cheer will not begin until November, and one-act play will be delayed until the spring. Though all scrimmages were canceled, the football season was otherwise not impacted. Practices under the GHSA’s coronavirus protocols will continue as normal, the announcement said, and the first regular season games are still scheduled to take place the week of Sept. 4. The season was originally set to begin Aug. 21, but the GHSA decided in July to delay the start of the regular season. Competition cheer was set to begin last weekend, but its start date has now been tentatively set for Nov. 21, with the
state finals to take place in late February 2021. The GHSA said the move stemmed from a “high risk of indoor packed arena(s) which do not allow for social distancing.” Practices can continue with the GHSA’s current safety protocols. The move has significant implications for local cheer programs, who are historically among the top in the state each season. South Forsyth (7), Lambert (6), Chattahoochee (4), Johns Creek (2), Alpharetta (1), Denmark (1) and Milton (1) have won state titles since the GHSA recognized competitive cheer as a state championship sport in the1993-94 athletics year. One-act play, another competition in which local schools have been traditionally successful, has been postponed until spring, but dates for region and state meets have not been set. The GHSA says its decision was based on the risk of exposure to COVID-19 from indoor venues and “aerosol spray from [voice] projection and singers.”
As of Aug. 6, no decision had been made either by local school districts or the GHSA on whether fans would be allowed to attend volleyball, softball or football contests. The schedules for cross-country, volleyball and softball have not been delayed, though safety protocols have been implemented. In softball, some precautions include the closure of concession stands, social distancing in dugouts and measures designed to limit the amount of hands that come into contact with game balls. For volleyball matches, huddles are prohibited, lockers will be closed, players cannot leave the bench area to celebrate with their team and officials and players are encouraged to wear a facemask. The look of cross-country meets could also change under the GHSA’s guidelines. The outline says organizers
should consider using staggered, wave or interval starts or consider staging multiple races depending on the number Solution of competitors at the meet. E T E S M I S O U P T O N W O M E I B I S P E L T E Y E S W A W A I C A P E T R A N D R E S T R S

we would actually start bringing people back into the space,” Drinkard said. The pool will reopen only when the city is confident it is safe for public use, he said. Pool crowds will still be limited to half the facility’s posted capacity. Wills Park pool opened for the first time this year on June 13 as part of the city’s efforts to lift restrictions to public amenities that had been enacted in late March. As part of the reopening process, Drinkard said all employees, including those at the municipal pool, are and have been tested for a high temperature each day. Pool visitors were not tested
because temperatures are difficult to verify outdoors, he said. “This employee wasn’t feeling well but wasn’t running a temperature,” Drinkard said. Neighboring cities report no incidents Surrounding cities with municipal pools say they have not received any reports of COVID-19 infection. The Milton City Pool, which has been operating since Memorial Day weekend, has had no reports of coronavirus among employees of patrons, said Communications Director Greg Botelho. “We have not had a situation like that,” he said. “If you go out there, you’ll see the lifeguards are wiping down chairs, they’re taking temperatures, all that kind of stuff.” In addition to regular pool safety

rules, the city has set aside an hour on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for persons 55 and older to use the pool. Other precautions include limiting the number of people inside the fence to 50 and the number of occupants in the baby pool to five. The facility also places a two-person limit in the bathrooms and requires parents to monitor and enforce social distancing for their children. The city has also closed the water fountain and has banned any kind of swim toys or inflatable devices that can be shared. Ladder rails, handles and other items are wiped down every one to two hours. Social distancing is enforced on the deck and in the pool. Anyone displaying symptoms of COVID-19 during check-in will be denied entry.

In addition to regular cleaning, all facilities are operating at reduced capacity. “Visitors are encouraged to wear masks when coming through the pool entryway, and their temperature is checked before being admitted,” Roswell Recreation and Parks Community Relations Coordinator Jennifer Morrow said. “They are also not allowed to be admitted if they or a family member has been sick.”

Milton’s Crabapple Fest deferred to next spring
MILTON, Ga. — Milton’s Crabapple Fest, the city’s largest annual event put on in partnership with the Crabapple Community Association, will not take place this fall as originally scheduled. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival has been delayed from it’s Oct. 3 date and will now take place April 24 of next year, “…assuming progress related to curbing (the) novel coronavirus.” The city announced the delay last week citing the safety and health of vendors, residents and visitors. Milton also cited Gov. Brian Kemp’s executive order prohibiting large gatherings in which social distancing cannot be maintained. In recent years, the event has drawn tens of thousands to Downtown Crabapple to shop, dine and watch live performances. The statement from the city said organizers wanted to give participants advanced notice of the postponement. “We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through this challenging period while also looking forward to a return to normal,” Crabapple Community President Reid Casey said. “Crabapple Fest is so important to our great community which makes it especially important that this event happens safely for everyone involved.” Vendors who have already applied
