ATLANTA — Heavy equipment and construction materials on the area’s newest school campus has drawn scrutiny from the community on the structural stability of the building. However, officials with the Fulton County School System say the ongo ing work at Innovation Academy in downtown Alpharetta this summer is routine for any new building. “During the final walkthrough [prior to opening in 2021] we found some deficiencies, including the waterproofing for the building,” said Noel Maloof, chief operations officer for Fulton Schools. “So the contrac tor – at their cost – is back to fix these issues this summer.” The $70 million school opened in the fall of 2021 and is located on the site where the original Milton High School stood for nearly 80 years.

A third defendant, Stephen Woods, also of Sandy Springs, pleaded guilty to criminal attempt to commit armed robbery and a weapons charge. He received the lesser sentence of 15 years in prison for his plea. Kisha “Key” Rutledge, of Alpharetta, once a most-wanted fugitive, was later convicted in 2011 of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery and conspiracy. At 29 years old, the prostitution madame is said to have masterminded the crime. Appen Media reported in 2009 that Brown was killed because he had a lot of cash on hand and made the mistake of crossing Rutledge, who ran an al leged escort service named “Atlanta’s Keys.”According to information presented in court, Brown began making private arrangements with Rutledge’s girls di rectly, bypassing the madame. Brown also reportedly had the girls doing clerical work for his pressure-washing business after separating from his wife, who usually took care of the paperwork side of the business.

ATLANTA — A Roswell man has been sen tenced for recording his sexual encounters with a 13-year-old girl he hid at his apart ment for three weeks in the summer of 2012. Derrick Hunt, 39, was sentenced to 17 years and six months in prison, followed by supervised release for life. Hunt was convicted on May 16 after pleading guilty to the production of child officials,Accordingpornography.tofederalonJune18,2012, Hunt saw a Facebook post from a teen girl from Gwin nett County stating she wanted to run away from her family’s home. Hunt knew the girl was 13 years old, but still agreed to pick her up and take her to his apart ment, where he gave her alcohol, mari juana and opioids. Over the next several weeks, Hunt en gaged in numerous sex acts with the girl while she was impaired from alcohol or drugs. Federal officials state he recorded the sex acts with a camera in his living room. Then, on July 7, 2012, Hunt ar ranged for the girl’s father to pick her up at a fast-food restaurant in Roswell. Court records show that at around midnight on July 7, 2012, two Roswell police officers were dispatched to the res taurant in response to a call to Gwinnett County police about a missing, endan gered juvenile. But, after waiting for about 90 minutes, the officers left to respond to otherFederalcalls. officials state Hunt was un aware that the child’s father had arranged for the police to be at their meeting loca tion, so when he finally dropped her off at approximately 2:30 a.m., officers headed back and conducted a traffic stop on a white Chevy Camaro. The driver was later identified as Hunt. While being questioned, Hunt was purportedly “slightly uncooperative,” giv ing officers an incorrect home address. Police stated he and the 13-year-old girl also gave different accounts of how they had met. Because of those inconsisten cies and the fact that the girl had been reported missing, Hunt was arrested in

An ethics panel deter mined Aug. 30 that Milton City Council man Paul Moore committed three out of seven ethics violations when he voted to defer a decision to provide city fund ing for traffic calming devices inside his neighborhood.Theethicspanel, consisting of local attorneys Samuel Pierce, Charles Pollack and Ron Debranski, found that Moore violated sections in the city code dealing with ethics for city officials and depart ment directors, disclosure of interest and abstention to avoid conflicts of interest.

—

During the May 2 City Council meet ing, Palazzo said the reason the HOA had preemptively installed traffic calming devices in the Golf neighborhood of the 440-plus home community was to address ongoing “speeding problem,” adding that there was a need to make the streets safer for children and residents.

Then on Aug. 2, both parties pre sented several hours of testimony, but the hearing ended with the attorneys asking for additional time to render a decision.

MILTON, Ga.

About a dozen Milton residents at tended the final hearing on Aug. 30 in support of Moore. His wife and other city officials were also in attendance.

Palazzo said the HOA had purchased and installed four radar feedback signs earlier this year for a total of $13,706.

Councilman Donald Mitchell asked whether the sculpture could be rein forced with metal before it is painted. He was told that option would cost about the same as replacing the sculpture entirely.Other council members questioned whether such a large investment should be made in a project that would need to be replaced every few years. “[Are] the materials used, up to the standards of what we want Alpharetta to be,” Councilman Jason Binder said. “If we’re going to do this, let’s do it right.” A motion to remove the sculpture was approved 6-1, with Councilman John Hipes opposed. Hipes later said he dissented not because he felt strongly about keeping or removing the sculpture, but because he felt uncomfortable going against the Alpharetta Arts Commission’s recom mendation.“Ididn’t see any reason to go against their recommendation,” he said. City officials don’t have a specific plan for what will replace the sculpture, if anything, but Assistant City Adminis trator James Drinkard said the Cultural Arts Commission has been asked for suggestions on whether the site should be included in the city’s rotating art program.Thesite also might be right for a per manent installation, Drinkard said. Zane estimated placing a new sculpture at the site would cost between $20,000 and Alpharetta$40,000.Parksand Recreation Di rector Morgan Rodgers told the council in May that it would cost approximately $6,500 to remove the sculpture and get the site ready for a new installation, but Drinkard says removal costs are now expected to cost much less.

By ALEXANDER POPP alex@appenmedia.com

The sculpture’s removal was ap proved in a split vote at a meeting on Monday, Aug. 15, after Alpharetta Cul tural Services Manager Kim Zane gave a presentation on the installation from the Alpharetta Cultural Arts Commission.

Council members said the sculpture could possibly be a project for local high school students or torn down later if warranted.Zanesaid if the piece were restored, it would likely need to be repainted and repaired again in about six years because it was initially made of fragile materials and hasn’t been maintained since it was installed in 2017. “I wish we had more durable materi als from the beginning,” Zane said.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — If you drive on Milton Avenue in downtown and feel like something’s missing, don’t worry, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you, the Alpharetta “A” sculpture is gone.

Zane said both the Arts Commis sion and Visitor Center were in favor of repairing the piece, estimated to cost about $7,500. If the sculpture wasn’t preserved, city staff recommended re moving it entirely, she said. Alpharetta was gifted the sculpture at a City Council meeting May 23. At that meeting, council members de nied a $16,000 request to rehab the sculpture but approved the gift so city stakeholders could come up with a recommendation on what to do with it.

As the stock market has hit the skids and consumer confidence has plunged, tech companies have said they will not hire as aggressively nationally. Some Georgia tech firms have even recently announced layoffs. However, a positive for this sector is technical jobs in the state’s booming film production business.“Wehad a banner year in the number of productions, which will continue in 2023 and offset technical job losses in other areas,” Dhawan said. Another star performer has been manufacturing, gaining 44,000 jobs in the last two years, Dhawan said. “Contributing factors to growth in this high-paying sector include onshor ing, battery manufacturers choosing to locate plants in the Peach State, and proximity to the Port of Savannah and its transportation network,” he said. The pace of job gains in manufactur ing during 2021-2022 will be challenging to sustain moving forward. “The dark clouds on the horizon for this sector are a stronger dollar and the elevated cost of energy, which will damp en manufacturing job growth despite onshoring’s benefits,” Dhawan said Savannah’s ability to accommodate consumer demand has contributed to growth in the transportation sector. The sector, comprising trucking, warehous ing, railroads, and port jobs, has gained

Lambert High School student attends Boys Nation

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Jason Eap pen, a senior at Lambert High School in Forsyth County, represented Georgia at the American Legion Boys Nation in Washington, D.C., July 22-29. The American Legion Boys Nation is an annual national program involving civic training, leadership development andEappenAmericanism.wasselected as one of 100 “senators” to be included at the event after being appointed mayor, county commissioner and board of education chairman at the Georgia Boys State held earlier this year. Eappen was spon sored by American Legion Post 307 in Cumming.Participants at the national event participated in a mock U.S. Senate and federal government, conducting a party convention, electing political offices, and introducing legislation.

ATLANTA – Georgia has experienced “su perb” job growth, adding 137,400 jobs in the past seven months with unemploy ment below 3 percent, according to Ra jeev Dhawan of the Economic Forecast ing Center at Georgia State University’s J. Mack Robinson College of Business. Dhawan released his economic fore cast for Atlanta and the state Aug. 31. Approximately one-third of jobs gained, 47,000, are in hospitality and retail.

The information sector, which spans jobs in fintech, technology, software and film, “has punched above its weight” in job gains, Dhawan said. Although the sector comprises just 3 percent of the economy, it has created more than 10,000 jobs this year and over 35,000 since the recovery began in mid-2020.

In addition to the educational and leadership exercises, participants were able to tour the National Mall, Arlington National Ceremony, the Iwo Jima Memo rial and the White House. At Lambert High School, Eappen is president of the school’s Model UN, vice president of the Future Business Leaders of America and secretary of the National Social Studies Honor Society.

“Combined, the two sectors represent 20 percent of the economy by employ ment share, but they produced 35 per cent of new job growth,” Dhawan said. “The biggest stumbling block for growth in hospitality and retail will not be rising interest rates, but a shortage of work ers to meet the two sectors’ blistering growth rate.”

ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp announced Aug. 29 that his office will provide $62 million to help Georgia com munities address homelessness and housing insecurity.

The property is owned by the Housing Authority of Roswell but managed by the Gainesville Housing Authority through a mutual agreement. Tenants are required to earn below 80 percent of the area median income. They are all elderly and/or disabled.

Some of the other groups awarded funding include Habitat for Humanity organizations in Athens, Troup County and Houston County.

“By investing these funds in those who are already making a difference around our state on these fronts, we will provide those most in need with resources that will aid them on the road to personal and financial re covery,” Kemp said.

“The remaining have either moved out or are in the process of finalizing paperwork, inspections, etc.,” Parrish stated. “There are 20 occupied units as of today; however, we have 10 move-outs scheduled over the next 10 days.”

6 | September 8, 2022 | Milton Herald | AppenMedia.com/Milton

Bambie Hayes-Brown, president and CEO of Georgia ACT, a statewide coalition of affordable housing groups, said the funding will help organizations assist the disad vantaged.“Weknow the work that our mission-based develop ers do is very important to providing housing opportu nities for the lowest income of Georgians,” said HayesBrown.Hayes-Brown said Georgia ACT members awarded funding include Mercy Housing Southeast, Quest Com munity Development, and SUMMECH Community De velopment. These groups all work to provide affordable housing, mostly in the Atlanta area. “We would like to see more outreach to those small mission-based developers outside of metro Atlanta and [those groups] also given technical assistance to apply,” Hayes-Brown said.

The funds come from federal COVID relief funds provided to the state under the American Rescue Plan Act. Additional grants will be awarded this fall to groups working to help homeless Georgians, said Andrew Isen hour, a spokesman for the governor.

“Kemp has repeatedly railed against spending that he’s now trying to claim credit for – even as housing costs continue to skyrocket on his watch with no re sponse from him but election year gimmicks,” said Alex Floyd for the campaign.

By REBECCA GRAPEVINE Capitol Beat

A spokesman for Democrat Stacey Abrams – who is challenging Kemp for the governorship in November –criticized Kemp’s announcement.

The governor’s office will award the funds to 20 organizations who applied via a competitive process. The funds will be used to build affordable housing, improve existing housing, and provide mental health services to people who are homeless.

ROSWELL, Ga. — There are still nine tenants at 199 Grove Way who have not found suitable housing to relocate.Lastspring, all 33 tenants, many of whom had been living at the public housing development for more than 20 years, were notified they would need to relocate by the end of August, because the City of Roswell had deemed the property structurally unsound.However, because relocation challenges have mounted over the past couple of months, tenants are no longer being given a definitive date to vacate the property. Several areas around the building are currently being held up by metal supports, and in August, the ceiling of one of the units collapsed. Karen Parrish, chairwoman of the Housing Au thority of Roswell, said in an email to Appen Media Aug. 29 that the Roswell agency continues to move forward with the tenants’ relocation.

Nine tenants at Grove Way apartments remain without options

“As Georgians faced the unprecedented challenges and economic downturn of the pandemic, COVID-19 robbed some of their financial stability, expanding the homeless population in vulnerable communities,” said Kemp. “Those who were already homeless faced even greater difficulties, with many already struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues.”

Moonshine occupies a special place in the history of North Geor gia and North Fulton County. Production of illegal whiskey led to sometimes vio lent clashes

In the late 1700s, Scotch-Irish immi grants started to arrive in Georgia. With them came their knowledge of distilling grains and fruits into alcoholic beverages. Since the government did not tax produc tion of alcohol, distilling was totally legal. Mountain people and farmers turned excess crops into corn whiskey or peach and apple brandy for their families and friends, and all was good.

During the Civil War, Congress cre ated the Internal Revenue Service to collect taxes on luxury goods such as liquor and tobacco. This did not sit well with moonshiners or customers and after the war many producers refused to pay the tax. That made whiskey production illegal, and all was not good. Distillation wentProducersunderground.worked at night to avoid detection, hence the name moonshine. Gradually, public opinion shifted. Oppo sition to the illegal practices grew, thanks to efforts by the temperance movement, evangelicals and women who portrayed moonshiners as gangsters. This led to Prohibition in 1920 when Congress made alcohol production and sale illegal. Prohi bition was great for moonshiners because suddenly they became the only source of alcoholic spirits. Prices in the South for bootleg whiskey quadrupled. Fun stories abound about speakeasies and the Roar ing ’20s as prohibition became increas inglyWhenunpopular.theGreat Depression hit follow ing the stock market crash of 1929, the government realized that by not taxing alcohol it was losing a great source of revenue. In 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt made a campaign promise to legalize alcohol, and in 1933 Congress ended Pro hibition.Moonshiners continued to thrive be cause nobody wanted to pay liquor taxes. The Atlanta Constitution reported in November 1934 that the Atlanta district was no. 1 in the U.S. in moonshining. More than 500 stills were destroyed that year. Prices for cotton, the foundation of Georgia’s rural economy, went so low thanks to the Depression and the boll weevil that many farmers went bank rupt. Prices for corn, another staple of the economy, declined so much that some farmers burned corn rather than coal in their stoves. For them, making moonshine became a matter of survival for their families. Deep animosity devel oped between producers and law enforc ers, both local and federal, as raids and shootouts were not uncommon. A cottage industry developed in North Georgia during the Depression and continued through the 1930s and 1940s “running” white lightning from moonshiners to eager buyers in Atlanta. To avoid being caught by local police, the moonshine was carried in souped up cars – often 1940 Ford Coupes – that could be modified to go up to 180 MPH. Highspeed chases took place down Route 9 which became known as Thunder Road. Route 9 passed through Alpharetta, Ro swell (Roswell Road) and Sandy Springs on its way to Atlanta. After their mad dashes to Atlanta, runners held races to see whose car was the fastest and a new sport, NASCAR stock car racing, was born.Local historian Connie Mashburn

Presented tells stories about Alpharetta police who would park their cars on Highway 9 and turn their flashing lights on to divert a speeding runner from the highway to a side street where he would be stopped, boxed in and captured. The police would confiscate the car in front of the court house and dump the whiskey into the street. It was not uncommon to see peo ple bring cups to scoop up some of the whiskey. One downtown resident allowed runners to hide cars behind his house until the police gave up the chase. The only way he knew if a runner had been there would be if a gallon of moonshine was on his back porch in the morning. Local farmer J W Shirley leased his farm in the 1950s and happened to discover a still in his corn crib. He called federal agents and the still was destroyed and the lease was canceled.

STEVE HUDSON Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA! Yogi aside, picnicking

14 | September 8, 2022 | Milton Herald | AppenMedia.com/Milton OPINION

Fortunately for us lovers of the picnic, the problem in these parts is not so much the occasional picnic outing. Instead, it’s things like your pet’s outdoor food bowl, your trash cans, or even your bird feeder. Bears quickly learn to appreciate such free lunch opportunities, and the result can be human-bear encounters, property damage or worse. Once a bear learns to forage in this way, it rarely changes its habits. So the best way to deal with the problem is to keep it from happening in the first place. How? By making your yard and home unattractive to bears. That’s not hard to do, either, and there’s actually a good bit of info out there on dealing with bears in this and other situations. I like bearwise.org, where you’ll find insights and suggestions aplenty. Check it out. But the bottom line is straightforward. “Denying bears a free meal and forcing them to look elsewhere in their search for food is still the best course of action,” Hammond says, “for people and for the bears.”Now back to my search. The perfect picnic basket surely awaits me out there somewhere. All I’ve got to do is find it, fill it up, and go. with bears can spell trouble

Lately, with that first little subtle hint of fall drifting into the air, my thoughts have turned toward outdoor dining. I don’t mean the kind that you on the deck after grilling some burg ers or brats. Instead, I mean the kind you do beside a sparkling stream or maybe on a grassy patch in a cozy little park some where.You know. The outdoor dining I’m thinking about is the kind that involves a picnicTroublebasket.is, I don’t have a picnic bas ket. So I’ve been shopping. I’ve learned that picnic baskets come in all shapes and sizes and prices and degrees of high-tech complexity. I ran across one that proclaimed it was made using ergonomically engineered handles and the latest in temperature-regulating multi-strata lining material, whatever that is. It sounds intriguing, but it cost more than my car. However, since I found it on the interweb, I knew it must be good. I considered it for a moment, I must admit.That’s not what I want, though. The kind of picnic basket I want, being the oldfashioned sort that I am, is one steeped in tradition and woven from wicker. I want one with little compartments for all the essentials – you know, plates, glasses, utensils, and that sort of thing – as well as a place to take along a few cans of Moun tain Dew or, for special occasions, maybe a bottle of wine. That’s the picnic basket I hope to find. Picnic baskets have played a long and storied role in American culture. You already know if you, like me, grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons. Every week, I saw no less than Yogi Bear himself working diligently to steal “pic-anic” baskets from the visitors in Jellystone Park. Yogi made his TV debut in 1958 on the Huckleberry Hound Show, another great American classic, and in 1961 he got his own TV show. I was like in first grade, an impressionable age, I guess, for I remember the antics of Yogi to this day. He was, after all, “smarter than the aver age Itbear.”was great TV. We could probably use more of that today. Like all great programming, it held within each episode some kernals of truth – not the least of which was that bears will go to great lengths to find something to eat, whether it’s a pic-a-nic basket or that trash can next to your screened-in porch. That’s just what bears do, especially this time of year when they’re making one last run at fattening up for the relatively lean months of winter. And that’s where it can get interesting, notes Adam Hammond, state bear biolo gist for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division.

“Bear attractants,” eh? “Picnic basket” sounds so much more cozy! But you get the Theidea.problem is that bears quickly get used to human-provided food, whether said food is provided intentionally or not, and the bears are very good at taking ad vantage of any and every opportunity.

“It’s not uncommon for human-bear conflicts to intensify in late summer,” Hammond says, “as bears have been ‘trained’ and ‘educated’ all summer long about finding food around homes and neighborhoods where unsecured bear at tractants often abound.”

AppenMedia.com/Milton | Milton Herald | September 8, 2022 | 15OPINION

So, we had been thinking about it for a long time – feels like years. Nothing really suggested that now would be a bet ter time than some other and, in fact, there were probably more things going on today that argued against it than in the past. Yet here we are getting ready to do it again. It became real to me when I was pe rusing our website, appenmedia.com, and saw the link which said in big bold letters, “SANDY SPRINGS CRIER COM ING FALL 2022.” Appen Media already publishes five weekly newspapers. So, a Sandy Springs Crier would be our sixth and the sister newspaper to the Dunwoody Crier. That would jump our circulation from 93,000 a week to 105,000. Great news for just about any business that considers the booming northside as a key target market. And what a market it is: Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, Johns Creek, South Forsyth, Dunwoody, and now Sandy Springs. I am not sure that there is a better, more affluent high-end consum er driven market in Georgia or even the Southeast than this one. So, yes, add ing Sandy Springs to our coverage area is a great marketing enhancement, but that’s not really what is driving this according to Appen Publisher and first son, Hans Appen. “Why would you do this?” I asked him. “Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? Don’t we work hard enough already, and don’t we need to sleep sometime? Shouldn’t we just stay the course and not take risks like this?”He“Sandyresponded.Springs needs a source for regular local news that can be trusted and is reliable,” he said. “Every town and every city in the state does. It’s about our shared communities, values andHefutures.”means it. I know. I taught him and all of my children about what is important in life and worth fighting over the past 30 years. I get it. So, I know he is serious. It is about leadership, and resolve. Page 29

4. Better Cognition and Memory Studies have found men with low testosterone who have given hormone replacement therapy show a marked improvement in memory, focus and cognition.

3. Improves Lean Muscle Mass

1. Improves Libido A common symptom of male hor mone imbalance is a decrease in libido. In these cases, HRT may improve sexual desire and treat erectile dysfunction. However, there are other conditions that cause erectile dysfunction. So, before you seek hormone replacement therapy, your doctor should confirm low testos terone is the cause.

Five benefits

Male menopause, andropause or low testosterone. No matter what you call it, the condition involves a drop in testos terone production that becomes more dramatic as men age. While not all men with low testosterone have the same set of symptoms or the same health and wellness goals, medical studies have shown hormone replacement therapy has numerous benefits.

2. Increases Energy Men with low testosterone often report fatigue, a constant feeling of sluggishness and tiredness. Men who get hormone replacement therapy often report their energy levels increase during treatment. Therapy may also increase the drive to participate in the physical activities that stopped due to hormonerelated fatigue.

Brought to you by –Hydralive Therapy

One of the primary benefits of hor mone replacement therapy is that it will improve your ability to burn fat and rebuild lean muscle mass. It may also give you more motivation to exercise and to get more out of working out, which will further decrease fat while increasing muscle size, strength and endurance.

HCTZ and skin cancer -- how much risk is a “small” risk?

18 | September 8, 2022 | Milton Herald | AppenMedia.com/Milton HEALTH & WELLNESS • Sponsored Section

Much of this data comes out of Den mark. So what does that mean for the average Georgia resident? It is reasonable to assume that a person of Northern Eu ropean descent living in a sunny southern latitude like Georgia or Florida could be at even higher risk than what was reported above.When judging whether risk is “small,” we must consider the baseline risk. Ac cording to skincancer.org, about 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by age 70 with nearly all cases developing in non-Hispanic whites. Individuals in that demographic therefore have a high baseline risk. In addition, the most recent data suggests that more people might now be dying each year from SCC than mela noma. We usually think about melanoma as more dangerous, and, on a case by case basis, melanomas are more danger ous than squamous cell carcinomas, but melanoma is rare and SCC is common, so the total number of SCC deaths is reach ing or exceeding melanoma deaths. Exact numbers are not available because SCC is not a reportable disease, but approxi mately 15,000 people die of SCC each year in the United UnderlyingStates.riskfactors can lead to even greater mortality. Patients who have received an organ transplant are approxi mately one hundred times (100x) more likely to develop skin cancer than the general population. By comparison, tan ning bed use has been associated with an increased risk of SCC of 90% (odds ratio 1.9). Thus, with respect to squamous cell carcinoma, HCTZ use has roughly the same risk as tanning bed use! As of 2019, HCTZ was one of the top 20 most commonly prescribed medica tions in the United States with more than 38 million prescriptions per year. We don’t often think about oral medi cations as increasing our skin cancer risk. But this is true for HCTZ. Every medica tion has risks and benefits. It is important to consider pros and cons before starting a new medication. When a medication is discovered to have previously unknown risks, companies and agencies, includ ing the FDA, should be careful not to minimize risks that might be significant. Instead, risks of SCC need to be weighed against the risks of hypertension, and consideration should be given to ques tions such as: Is there an alternative blood pressure medication with a better side-effect profile? and Is this patient at high-risk for skin cancer? What do you think? Is an odds ratio ranging from 1.9x to 7.7x or higher a “small” risk? If you or a loved one has a skin can cer or a skin care need, please consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Dr. Brent Taylor and Kathryn Filipek, PA-C are delighted to help you achieve your skin health goals. Dr. Taylor graduated from Harvard in three years, is board certified in dermatology, board certified in micrographic dermatologic surgery (Mohs surgery), fellowship-trained in Mohs surgery and venous medicine and certified by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine. Kathryn Filipek has greater than 15 years of dermatol ogy experience with expertise in medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology.

Recently, several articles were published demonstrating an increased risk of non melanoma skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma) and use of blood pressure medicine hydro chlorothiazide (HCTZ). Armed with this data, the FDA has changed the labeling on HCTZ to reflect this increased risk. What is interesting, however, is the way the fda. gov website characterizes this risk. The FDA’s website states, “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved chang es to the hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) drug label to inform health care profession als and patients about a small increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancer.” …… Small? Judge the data for yourself: Taking HCTZ was overall associated with nearly double the ratio of developing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The odds ratio was 1.9 meaning someone taking HCTZ is 1.9 times as likely to develop SCC as someone not taking this medicine. But some people take HCTZ for longer periods than others, and the odds ratio of 1.9 was for patients who had taken the medicine for less than four and half years. Often, once people are put on blood pressure medication, they remain on it for life. When factoring this, the risk of the us age of HCTZ becomes, in this physician’s opinion, much more than “small”. Studies •report:Acumulative HCTZ dose of 50,000 mg or greater (about 6 years’ use) was associ ated a risk of SCC that is four times as high. (Odds ratio 4.0)

Brought to you by - Dr. Brent Taylor, Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta

• A cumulative HCTZ dose of 200,000 mg or greater (about 20 years’ use) was as sociated with a risk of SCC that is is 7.7 times as high (odds ratio 7.7).

Cosmetically is one and is known worldwide, however Botox® comes in handy when your oral health is affected, and your daily life is being interrupted by the side effects of prolonged clench ing and grinding. Wouldn’t you seek Botox® from a dentist for those specific needs? Dr. Hood is AAFE certified and is continually learning new techniques to administer Botox® in those other annoy ing areas cosmetically.

What a dental visit for Botox® looks like At Roswell Dental Care, we strive for excellence, so let us take you through a step-by-step Botox® Reduction treat ment visit. A new health update is required before seeing the doctor, then blood pressure is taken, and the doctor will examine you addressing any ques tions or concerns before getting started. The injection sites are cleaned, and Botox® is then administered into the masseter muscle. Over the following two weeks, Botox® will target the muscle contraction process and reduce the amount of force your muscle can con tract aka clench. (Remember those wide jaws?) Well, this relaxation in the muscle leads to atrophy of the muscle which will then cause slimming of the jawline. (Bye-bye wide jaws!) Once the Botox® is finished the doctor will then clean the areas again, provide an ice pack along with post op instructions and schedule a two-week follow-up.

Botox at a dental office?

Brought to you by – Astra Richards, Treatment Coordinator, Roswell Dental Care When it comes to Botox®, and other neuromodulators, many believe it to be a cosmetic procedure only. Of course, Botox® is used to help with aging, get ting rid of wrinkled skin, and the ability to look 10 years (or more!) younger with zero downtime. However, did you know Botox® is also used for true dire purpos es? One of those purposes is treatment for the masseter muscles located at an angle from your cheekbone all the way down to your lower jawbone, which is not only important to know but neces sary for those patients who suffer from extreme clenching. How is Botox® associated with dentistry? It is very important to seek a certi fied professional when receiving Botox® treatment for clenching. A dentist is specially trained in the facial muscles and nerves, so who better to evaluate and treat the muscles of the face with Botox®? Clenching causes extreme wear and tear on the teeth especially the molars. Once those molars are affected, we are now looking at the possibility of crowns, root canals, and extractions, all due to extreme clenching. In addition, prolonged grinding leads to the masseter muscles enlarging over time, which then causes the jaw to widen. (Who likes wide jaws?): once that happens a slue of other health problems can then follow; persis tent headaches, migraines, irritability, and a constant uncomfortable feeling.

Bottom line: Whatever your health or fitness (or well-being) goals are, there is a yoga program for you. Here’s how to incorporate it into your life: 1.Start slowly, especially if you haven’t exercised regularly in a while. A foundational class, gentle yoga, a slower flow, or even chair yoga are excellent choices to begin a regular practice.

Kim MacPherson is the founder/ owner of Crossroads Yoga in Milton, a RYT-200 instructor, and Reiki master. She wholeheartedly believes that yoga is an essential component of physical, mental/ emotional, and spiritual health. Feel free to contact her at kim@crossroads.yoga or 678-383-7646 if you have any questions about yoga and how it can help you meet your own health goals.

•Can reduce pain (2019 Journal of Women’s Health study on yoga for pelvic and lower back pain)

It’s no secret that participating in a regular exercise program is important for good overall health. However, I often have people tell me, “I walk/ run,” or “I lift weights” or “I do (insert program of choice)”… but THEN invariably, they’re quick to add, “So I need yoga because I’m not doing anything for flexibility.” While that’s a great attitude, and I love how these folks are so proac tive, I contend that yoga is and can be so much more than simply a complement to your “main” workout program. It can be a complete (not to mention extremely enjoyable) program for overall health and fitness—especially for those of us in our forties, fifties and sixties.And there is truly a yoga style for every type of body. For those who want to get their heart and other muscles stronger, then a vinyasa flow or powerstyle of yoga (or yoga sculpt) class would be up your alley. For those who need to work on deeper tissues (and issues!), such as the fascia that wraps around your muscles or even your liga ments and joints, then a longer-hold, floor-based yin yoga practice would be beneficial. For stress relief, there’s the still, extremely comfortable restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and/or the inclusion of pranayama breathwork.

Natural pain relief — such as spinal manipulation, often referred to as a spinal adjustment — is recognized by leading healthcare agencies including the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the National Academy of Medicine, The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare and the CDC.

While “life and death” may seem dramatic, it’s based on reality. People with back pain are sometimes faced with the opportunity to take dangerous prescription opioids.According to the Mayo Clinic, anyone who takes an opioid repeatedly may become addicted because it acti vates powerful reward centers in the brain. The CDC says the likelihood of long-term opioid use increases sharply after 3 Addictiondays. leads to poor quality of life and overdose deaths. In 2020, more than 1,300 people in Georgia died in opioid-related overdoses, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health.

Spinal adjustments for back and neck pain are of fered by chiropractors, who also teach patients about stretching, strengthening and lifestyle changes.

“Chiropractors help people find the root cause of their pain and fix it, rather than masking it with painkillers,” Dr. Kart said. “Pain is often caused by repetitive motion like how you position yourself while you work or sleep. Simple changes often prevent future pain.”

Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta Keri Farley called Hunt a predator, saying people like him have no place in civilized society. “Their victims, in this case a 13-yearold girl, will likely never fully recover from the abuse they endured,” Farley said. “Our warning to predators is that the FBI will go to great lengths to protect our most vulnerable citizens from those who seek to manipulate and do them harm.”

“The interest did not need to be unique,” Pollack said. “There was a lot of testimony and evidence that Council member Moore’s home was one of 28 affected by these traffic calming devices. … The council member did ultimately disclose that he lived in the neighbor hood and never really hid that fact, so I don’t think there was any withholding of information.”Pollacksaid the panel thought Moore most likely did not realize at the outset that he had an interest that could be sub ject to the ethics code but questioned why he didn’t ask the city attorney instead of the city manager before the meeting. “I don’t think there was an intent to commit an ethics violation…,” Pol lack said. “It probably would have been beneficial to side on the safe side in a case where there was a close call.

U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan warned parents. He said sexual preda tors will use every opportunity, including leveraging social media platforms, to lure children into these kinds of “exploitive situations.”“Theexperience of this victim and her family is the kind of nightmare scenario for unsuspecting parents that we encour age citizens to try to avoid through vigilant monitoring on their children’s social media activities,” Buchanan said.

As global growth hits a roadblock due to high energy prices caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the growth rate of tonnage at the Port is expected to slow. “Still, the trend of shippers rerout ing cargo from the congested West Coast to Savannah will be a positive factor for tonnage growth going forward,” Dhawan said.The corporate sector has created 40,000 jobs in the last seven months, which is 30 percent of job growth during the “Theseperiod.high-paying jobs are the lifeblood of housing demand and down stream purchases, but as skittish con sumers spend less, lack of confidence in the C-suite expands, energy prices re main high, and Fed hikes slow demand, global companies based in Georgia will have less incentive to hire as they feel blowback from slower global growth,” Dhawan said. “Corporate sector growth sector will slow sharply in the coming quarters.”Dhawan pointed to net domestic migration as an important factor in Georgia’s job recovery. “We are gaining people who are leav ing West Coast states in droves,” he said. “To produce jobs, you need to have people, which we do.” Although Georgia’s economic outlook is brighter than the nation’s, the Peach State can’t escape the global slowdown and the impact of Fed rate hikes un scathed.Dhawan’s predicts the state will gain considerably fewer jobs in 2023 (52,200) than in 2022 (176,200).

It is about doing what is right. I am reminded of the lyrics of a Tom Petty song: “But I won’t back down. No, I’ll stand my ground. Won’t be turned around. And I’ll keep this world from draggin me down. Gonna stand my ground.”Those lyrics cover a lot of miles, es pecially today. The world feels like it’s crazy and getting crazier. Values and standards that used to provide stabil ity – a life-foundation for us all – now feel so diluted, mixed in, disguised, and even lost in all the distracting and confusing noise today. It’s easy to get lost in the chaos and to find fault at every turn, including with “the media.” But that is the environment in which we must take a stand. The current against the media today is strong. So many are skeptical and do not trust it. Too many lump all the media into one big basket and dis count it all. In fact, many of those who have read this far in my column are saying something snarky to themselves right now about this idea that Appen Media is any different than all the rest, that local media can be important or credible.That’s why I think Hans is start ing a new print newspaper. Give us the benefit of the doubt and suspend your skepticism. Read us. See for yourself that Appen Media in fact is earning your respect and your support. We all need something to believe in, and it is only when we stand up and fight for ourselves and for each other that we stand a chance of fixing this mess we find ourselves in today. Give each other the benefit of the doubt. Support those who refuse to participate in the chaos and, instead, try to make things better. It’s easy to criticize; it’s much harder to see the good and do what is right, despite the headwinds. Stand your ground. And help Hans and Appen Media try to do the same.

Morrison had been offered a plea deal prior to the trial but turned it down, not understanding the offer, her attorney, Janis Mann, told 11 Alive.Morrison was re-sentenced in July 2021 on one charge of attempted armed robbery – the original plea of fer that she had turned down – after the Conviction Integrity Unit agreed to review her case. But, because she had already spent several years behind bars, she was finally released on parole in August.
