Happy summertime THIS ISSUE HITS MY SWEET SPOT. Summertime.

As a kid, I’d ride my 10-speed bike down a dusty dirt road to Colony Swim Club after I’d finished my chores and practiced piano.

With a towel, book, PB&J sandwich and a quarter in my backpack, I’d be set for the day. By 5:30 p.m., my mom and dad would pull up in the station wagon to swim a few laps during adult swim and we’d all head home for dinner on the back porch.

Shucking corn with my little sister, both of us slightly sunburnt and smelling of chlorine, we’d listen to the crickets chirping across the dark summer sky.

Finally falling into bed, with the windows wide open (who needs air conditioning in the Midwest in June?), we’d dream of doing it all again the next day.

Medical Director, Dr. T. Wayne Bloodworth, is a cosmetic surgeon and gynecologist, who trained in Paris with the physician pioneer of reconstructive operations.

The World Health Organization estimates 500,000 victims of FGM reside in the US with 3 million new cases worldwide annually. Dr. Bloodworth saw many existing advocacy groups working to prevent future victims, but not enough practitioners to provide needed care. This realization started him on his journey to open this office with a team of physicians, surgeons, psychologists and psychiatrists collaborating to outline a physical and emotional care plan for each patient.

“What motivates us is hearing ‘I feel whole again,’ from our patients after getting their corrective surgery,” says Dr. Bloodworth.

ROLL IN THE SNOW It wouldn’t be summer without ice cream, but instead of the typical cone, consider an option that provides refreshment with a bit of entertainment on top. In the tradition of Thai-style ice cream, Snowy Rolls allows visitors to watch as fresh cream sourced from Georgia farms magically and swiftly transforms into ice cream. A Snowy Rolls visit begins with selecting from the menu of flavors, which can range from vanilla and chocolate to Thai tea, and choosing three toppings. Next, an ice cream maker pours cream onto a super cold metal surface, which causes the cream to freeze. The maker can mix in flavors or simply scape and roll the now-solid ice cream. Founded by a well-known Chinese food blogger, Snowy Rolls includes only real ingredients to create the sought-after flavors it offers.

PAINT A MASTERPIECE Creative types can exercise their imaginations at Pinot’s Palette. Whether taking a scheduled class or gathering a group of 10 or more friends, painters young and old get to tie on an apron and follow along as a local artist instructs the class with step-by-step details on how to create a personal masterpiece. The subject is common to the entire class, but students are encouraged to select a color palette they like. As far as the “pinot,” the studio provides the wine glasses, and participants are welcome to bring wine, beverages or other refreshments. Ages 10 to adult are suitable for general classes, and there are children’s offerings, as well as family days for artists age 3 and above. Friday night is for tweens and teens with special instruction on

JUMP AROUND

On rainy summer days, active children and adven-

In addition to practicing flips and other gymnastic feats, the venue offers a foam pit, basketball hoops, a ninja course, fidget ladders and plenty of features to keep visitors entertained for the one- and two-hour standard time slots. Younger children, or anyone under 46 inches tall, are able to enjoy a special area upstairs in the Kiddie Court. Adults not interested in jumping can relax in the seating area and watch the shenanigans, read a book or just enjoy the air conditioning.

and satisfied swimmer.

Every parent wants the best for their kids. It’s why development books, educational DVDs and parenting courses are so popular. But it’s all so overwhelming. So what works the best? Well, science says the foundation for a child’s cognitive growth is rooted in two key factors: a safe environment and learning through guided play at any age. Yes, play. This is how kids develop the skills that ultimately give them the courage to dive into new experiences.

Swimming lessons are specially designed

fun

through guided play for beginners from 4 months to 12 years old. Check the schedule for family swims in the shiver-free pool that’s heated to a pleasant 90°. For students who progress through the Pro Level swim classes, there's a competitive program called Swim Force.

Goldfish Swim School was created by parents, for parents, with this goal in mind — to give kids the platform to build essential life skills that will help them make waves in life. They have created an inviting and safe place where kids overcome their fears, learn to swim, respect the water and have lots of fun while doing it. Their award-winning tropical environment and shiver-free pools are simply the

At family swim, parents and kids can splash and play together, show off and just have fun in the water.

POOL PARTY

(CON TI N U ED)

The Goldfish Experience was born when Co-Founder Jenny Evie Conner

McCuiston realized the demand for quality swim instruction after teaching swim lessons at a local swim club in the summer of 2000.

She became increasingly busy with customers, and her business grew steadily throughout the summer. In the summer of 2004, Jenny decided to teach swim lessons at a nearby country club. Jenny, again, realized the great need for quality swim instruction as she regularly accumulated a waiting list and her clientele grew to record-breaking numbers for the club by summer’s end. So, with the help of her husband Chris, Co-Founder of Goldfish Swim School, she began researching the swim industry in late 2004. They traveled the country, learning from other swim school owners at several swim school conferences before beginning the two-year development of their business plan. Mark Shepell owns the Johns Creek school and is behind Jenny 100%.

"Every square inch of our unique facility is designed to enhance learning, fun and safety for every child and parent who joins the Goldfish family. You’ll see and feel the difference the moment you walk through the door. For kids, it’s an invigorating and fun place to be with best friends, make new friends and cultivate a love for swimming. For parents, it’s a comfort in knowing their kids are safe, nurtured and growing. Our Treasure Island Pro Shop offers all the gear you need in one convenient location. No need to find time for a special shopping trip or make a mad dash home to retrieve forgotten goggles. Simply stop by Treasure Island and get exactly what you need in minutes, including swim gear, diapers, toys, apparel and more,” said Shepell.

Johns Creek Lifestyle | July 2018

Q: WHEN TREATING SPIDER VEINS, WHAT IS THE BEST METHOD FOR TREATMENT: SCLEROTHERAPY OR LASER THERAPY? A: Both treatment methods can be effective.

Spider veins, or telangiectasia, are abnormal veins less than 1 millimeter in diameter. Sclerotherapy, VeinInnovations preferred method, involves the use of a tiny needle to inject medicine into the veins to close them down. Bleaching creams, topical herbal remedies, and oral medication do not work, as spider veins are caused by malfunctioning valves in the veins.

Q: HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE SPIDER VEINS, VARICOSE VEINS, OR ACTUAL VEIN DISEASE? A: Spider veins are typically a blue/purple/ red collection of veins that are small in diameter and flat to the surface of the leg.

Varicose veins are the larger, ropey-like veins that protrude from the skin and are larger in diameter. The diagnosis of vein disease is determined by an ultrasound examination.

The technologist looks at how the blood flow is moving in the leg and can detect reflux or the backward movement of blood in the greater saphenous vein. That is the major vein that is treated if we find venous disease.

Q: WHAT IS THE CURRENT TREATMENT FOR VEIN DISEASE? A: The treatment involves closing down the malfunctioning veins.

A catheter

(wire) is placed in the abnormal vein, and radio-frequency or laser energy is delivered to the inside of the vein to shut it down completely. It is done in the office, does not require general anesthesia, and patients can resume normal activities immediately.

These ablation procedures have replaced vein stripping, which is now obsolete.

Q: IS THERE ANY NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR THE TREATMENT OF VEIN DISEASE? A: VeinInnovations has been asked to be the principal investigator for a brand-new procedure that involves a newly invented CONTINUED >

catheter. Our initial testing of this device was done last year, and we believe it has the promise to be a major advancement in vein treatment as it doesn’t involve heat or any sort of foreign body. It is also painless, and requires no anesthesia of any kind, nor does it require the use of compression stockings after the procedure.

Because it uses no heat, it can treat the entire leg safely, and because it requires no anesthesia, more than one leg can be treated at a single session. The hope is that this will be ready for general use sometime in the coming year.

Q: HOW MUCH DOES THE TREATMENT OF SPIDER VEINS COST? A: In some cases, heath insurance covers the treatment.

Q: MY LEGS FEEL RESTLESS. DO I HAVE RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME? A: Maybe. The urge to move your legs to relieve unusual sensations and the temporary relief of symptoms with movement are the hallmarks of RLS, a neurological disorder.

But these same symptoms can be caused

by other disorders, such as venous reflux disease. Proper diagnosis includes an evaluation by your physician, as well as a venous ultrasound to check for venous reflux disease.

Scorching Hot Summer Beach Reads

SUMMER IS HERE! Grab yourself a cool drink and one of these hot new releases.

BABY TEETH BY ZOJE STAGE A fantastically creepy, psychologically suspenseful novel focused on a small family of three. An exhausted mother is desperate to find help for her young daughter, Hanna, whose behavior grows increasingly dangerous alongside her refusal to speak. Hanna believes Daddy is the only one who understands her and all she wants is to live happily ever after with him—without Mommy.

Hanna’s tricks to get rid of her mother become increasingly sophisticated, while Daddy remains blind to his deeply manipulative little girl’s antics. Not since The Omen has a “bad seed” read been so good.

ARTICLE RHIANNON JOHNSON BALLPLAYER BY CHIPPER JONES WITH CARROLL ROGERS WALTON Eight-time All-Star, Larry Wayne “Chipper” Jones, Jr. reflects on his 23-year professional baseball career, 19 of which he played with the Atlanta Braves.

Jones shares his remarkable story, beginning with learning the art of switch-hitting, highlighting the 1995 World Series championship and 2005 division win, through his special last season in 2012. The National League MVP dissects pitches, relives clashes, and opens up about his relationships with his coaches and teammates—all without shying away from sharing his personal pitfalls during his rise to superstardom.

AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE BY TAYARI JONES Executive Roy and artist Celestial embody both the American Dream and the New South. The young newlyweds have barely begun their life together, when Roy is falsely accused, arrested, and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Midway through his sentence, his conviction is suddenly overturned and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume his life with Celestial. But Celestial has taken comfort in Andre, her childhood friend and the best man at Roy and Celestial’s wedding. A tender and timely love story that delves into race and class through the intimate lens of a marriage.

VISIBLE EMPIRE BY HANNAH PITTARD Based on a series of true events, Atlanta-born Hannah Pittard’s novel unfolds in the wake of the crash of Air France Flight 007, in which one hundred of Atlanta's wealthiest residents and cultural leaders perish.

Children, spouses, lovers, and friends who were left behind now must rebuild the city and their lives. A newspaper editor decides if he can reconnect with his beloved but estranged wife, who has learned that her wealthy parents left her penniless, and a 19 year old grasps a moment of opportunity following his denied admission to an integrated school.

SWEET & LOW BY NICK WHITE In a short-story collection perfect for lovers of Flannery O’Connor and Tennessee Williams, Nick White adds his own twist to the classic themes of Southern fiction. With provocative prose, he invites readers to follow deeply flawed and fascinating characters on their wildly unique quests through idyllic Southern landscapes. Bringing a modern layer to traditionally Southern tropes such as character flaws, identity, and place, White also tackles issues of masculinity and weaves thoughtful social commentary throughout each story.
