Milton working out options for local glass recycling By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — The headaches associated with recycling glass in Milton could soon be over. The city is hashing out a plan that could offer glass recycling drop-off locations for residents. Recycling glass became a less convenient prospect in recent years, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only added to hoops Milton residents must jump through to reprocess glass. In 2018, local recycling process centers stopped accepting glass, so the material could no longer be placed into a curbside pickup bin with other recyclables. The change, which went beyond the local level, stemmed from complications associated with processing glass, specifically expense and safety issues. Glass damages machines, it can contaminate other recyclables and presents safety issues for workers, who sometimes must separate glass by hand. With curbside service no longer an

Police probe auto break-ins in Henderson Village area ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Officers dispatched to a Brookridge Terrace residence Feb. 10 spoke to a homeowner who reported that someone stole a motorcycle and electric scooter from his garage. The victim claimed he found his garage door opened when he went outside. A Honda 70 XR-model motorcycle and XPRIT-kickstart electric scooter were missing. Two cars parked in the man’s
option, Milton residents who still wanted to recycle glass had to do the hauling themselves. Perhaps the most convenient option was to take glass to the Roswell Recycling Center on Maxwell Road, but COVID-19 has slashed that opportunity. The facility was closed for several weeks during the pandemic lockdowns last year, and since it has reopened, service is only available for Roswell residents. Milton Conservation Projects Manager Teresa Stickels told the City Council at its Feb. 17 meeting that residents can still bring the recyclables to the Keep North Fulton Beautiful recycling center in Sandy Springs. Of course, it is not a convenient solution. “And while I am immensely grateful, we at least have that option at this time, you can well imagine driving glass down to Sandy Springs has become a dealbreaker for many of our residents,” Stickels said. Last summer, two Milton High School students presented a partnership the city could agree to with a glass recycler.
The company would offer a dumpster for glass recycling and provide hauling at no cost. Milton just needed to secure a location for the dumpster. “But that’s actually turned out to be harder than it sounds,” Stickels said. However, the city has been exploring sites and whittling down its options and could soon have its own glass recycling drop-off site(s). “We feel like we are really close to having a local option for glass drop off in the City of Milton,” Stickels said. Stickels told the Herald one drop-off location was originally proposed, but the city has been working with the recycling company on possibly adding a second site. City Manager Steve Krokoff said the city has good locations selected and is working to ensure they are geographically dispersed across Milton. Stickels said the outlook is subject to change, especially during the pandemic, but the city is hopeful it can provide glass recycling drop-off service beginning in the spring.

When the officer asked for Garcia’s ID, the suspect initially tried to pull off in the van, but the policeman stopped him. Garcia then got out of the van, pushed his way past the officer and fled on foot. Police searched the area but were unable to find him. Investigators found a Glock loaded with 10 rounds near the driver’s seat inside the van. Garcia had a felony record that precluded him from owning or possessing a gun. He was convicted of a burglary in Gwinnett County in 2017, police said. Officers obtained warrants for obstruction and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Authorities levied those charges against Garcia Feb. 10 at the Cherokee County Jail.

Milton deletes charter commission requirement By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Any changes to Milton’s charter will now be made on an as-needed basis. The City Council voted at its Feb. 17 meeting to delete a requirement that a charter commission meet on a specific timeline to discuss potential updates to the document that serves as Milton’s “constitution.” When the city incorporated in 2006, its charter mandated that a commission be formed every five years to discuss the effectiveness of the document and any potential changes. Any proposed changes would be forwarded to the local legislative delegation, and if passed by the General Assembly, would be considered for adoption in a referendum. However, City Attorney Ken Jarrard recently told the council at a work session that charter commissions eventually have diminishing returns, and Milton has reached that point as it approaches its 15th anniversary as a city. Mayor Joe Lockwood suggested the
document is working well for the city, and with the creation of a charter commission comes an expectation of changes, even if they aren’t warranted. Milton officials can still form a charter commission if desired. The City Council can also make modifications and forward them to the General Assembly. House Bill 206, sponsored by Reps. Jan Jones and Wes Cantrell, has been introduced in the General Assembly for consideration. If passed, the bill would grant Milton authority to convene a charter commission, “from time to time as they deem appropriate.” Councilman Joe Longoria said the city should still have a “call to action” to review if convening a charter commission is warranted. He suggested adding an annual agenda item for the council to consider whether convening a charter commission is necessary, which could also prompt input from residents. The board was in favor of the idea and directed city staff to bring the proposal up for a formal discussion at a later City Council meeting.
City Attorney Ken Jarrard recently told the council at a work session that charter commissions eventually have diminishing returns, and Milton has reached that point as it approaches its 15th anniversary as a city. If a panel is formed, it will consist of five members appointed by the mayor and City Council, with a requirement that at least two members be nominated by members of the Georgia House and Senate whose district lies “wholly or partially” within Milton. The most recent changes to Milton’s charter came in 2017. Some of those updates included allowing the city to acquire and hold conservation land and easements, paving the way for its $25 million Greenspace Bond that has preserved over 400 acres in Milton. It also included that the city’s codes be available online for free and the city
could provide cultural arts “through local exploration” to showcase local artists and increase tourism. The 2017 updates also included a provision allowing members of the City Council to vote electronically during meetings, but votes are still taken by voice. Milton’s five-year charter commission requirement is more stringent than its neighbors which incorporated around the same time. Johns Creek’s charter required a commission be convened five years after incorporation. Sandy Springs is in the process of forming its first charter panel.
Milton considers expanding area where breweries can operate By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — A proposal being drafted by the city could allow breweries and distilleries to operate in more areas of Milton’s commercial zones. The Milton City Council approved moving forward with a plan expanding where distilleries and breweries could do business in downtown Crabapple and the Deerfield Parkway area. The move, taken at the council’s Feb. 17 meeting, was spurred, at least in part, from two alcohol manufacturers eyeing Milton as a potential base. Last year, the city updated its codes to allow breweries, microbreweries, distilleries and microdistilleries to open shop in certain areas of Milton, but only in zones that allowed for light manufacturing. The latest proposal would add more zoning designations to that list. The move carries significant weight for one of the alcohol manufacturing businesses looking to set up in Milton. Economic Development Director Sarah LaDart said the firm wants to open in an area that does not currently permit alcohol production, but the site would be included in the city’s proposed expansion of allowable zones. Breweries and distilleries would be permitted by “warrant,” which requires the city’s community development direc-
tor to review the proposal and approve it at an administrative level. LaDart said this “ensures professional oversight” to ensure the proposal is an appropriate use, size or intensity for the area. That was a sticking point for Councilman Paul Moore, who had concerns about manufacturing issues, including delivery trucks making early morning on late night deliveries or shipments that could impact nearby residents. LaDart said those types of issues can be addressed when the city reviews a specific proposal. Hours of operation, parking, lighting, conformity to the city’s codes and other matters would also be reviewed.
The City Council would also have the final say in approving the alcohol licenses for any breweries or distilleries. Councilman Joe Longoria said the city approving alcohol manufacturing in a single zoning category was likely an oversight, and with the council still controlling alcohol licensing, he said the proposed changes “all make perfect sense.” While there is no real feasibility to a large-scale brewery or distillery opening in Crabapple due to land limitations, LaDart said the possibility remains in Deerfield. She used Atlanta’s Sweetwater Brewery, which manufactures about 500,000 barrels of beer a year on an
8-acre property, as an example of something that would be “really cool” to have in Deerfield. “We would have the land for it,” LaDart said. “It would be disappointing to have that excluded as a possibility for a full-blown brewery.” The expansion of where alcohol manufacturing can take place in Milton was a discussion item on the Feb. 17 agenda, intended more to gauge the council’s interest in the proposal. With all council members on board, LaDart said the ordinance update will go back before the board for a vote in June. The discussion comes on the back of a bevy of alcohol-related ordinances updates the city has passed in recent years. Ordinance changes ushered in wine manufacturing in 2019 at Milton’s only farm winery, The Painted Horse Winery and Vineyards. The city has continually tweaked those regulations in response to The Painted Horse and any future farm wineries that want to call Milton home. Last year, the city also approved several new types of alcohol licenses, including growler shops, and loosened restrictions on alcohol sales for certain businesses. In December, just over a dozen changes were made to the city’s alcohol codes, including the deletion of some previous limitations and language clarification.

OPINION
Where there’s a will I have a new friend. I’ll call him Will. I’d like him to tell you his story. I grew up in rural Alabama. There was Mom, Dad, my sisters Lisa and Lakisha and me. Plus, our JEREMIAH JAMES dog, Malvern. I’m not A Little Bit of Everything sure why we named him Malvern. Someone said that was the name of our mailman, and he always chased the postal truck. So, I guess he got named after our mail carrier. For a long time when I was younger, I thought his name was Malvern No. But then I caught on. I caught on to a lot of things at an early age. My mom was a teacher’s assistant. She only had an associates degree, so the school district would only allow her to “assist” in the classroom. She was sharp as a whip though. It wasn’t her fault that her parents could not afford full-blown college. My dad worked at the local textile mill. He started sweeping floors at age 14 and worked his way up to the dye bleaching machines before they moved him to shipping. He bragged that he was the best dye bleacher on the floor, but they told him that dye bleaching was better suited for the women folk and his brawn was needed in shipping. One day, a few of the drivers didn’t show up. They asked Dad to make a run to Birmingham. He never made it back. An 18-wheeler hit him head-on. That was rough, but Mom, Lisa, Lakisha and I pieced things together the best we could. We all got part-time jobs to help pay the bills. We tried best we could to put some money away for college. Mom was determined for us to go even though she knew we would probably have to rely on loans, financial aid and such. I was the youngest, so Lisa and Lakisha got first crack. They made the most of it, but money ran out for both somewhere around the second and third year. They picked up a retail job or two in Birmingham and eventually moved into a one-bedroom apartment together, pinching pennies, dimes and quarters. I wanted to stay near home in order to help Mom. I told her that I thought the local community college would work out great. I could get a two-year degree and still be around enough to help her. She wouldn’t hear of it. “Will,” she said to me, “you are the best student of my beloved three, and I don’t want to see you get stuck like I have with just a two-year degree. We’ll find a way to get you through.” She was right. I did have very good grades. I applied to several state schools,
Introducing Jeremiah James Today’s world may often seem like a roller coaster. We’re all riding it. Ups. Downs. Steep hills. Fast descents. As I introduce myself, Jeremiah James, I do so with the intent to stimulate thinking. We all think - every minute of the day. Those thoughts may be reflective, automatic, intuitive, self-critical, hopeful, frightening or just plain …. normal, or at least what we perceive to be normal. There is nothing normal about daily living, though. Think about what was normal 3 weeks ago. Six weeks ago. Six months ago. A year ago. So much has changed. So, as I — er, Jeremiah James — move forward, I’d like to give you things to think about. The topics and scope will be diverse: politics, religion, sports, entertainment, social, business, science… plus that all-important category of “A Little Bit of Everything.” I don’t profess to be clairvoyant or an expert. But what I do believe is that people need to inspect their lives continually. And think. Think productive thoughts. So, I will foster, stimulate and encourage just that. But before I leave with Jeremiah James’ inaugural blog, two hints of how it took its name. If you have run with the footmen and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with the horses. (Jeremiah 12:5) Consider it joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the test of your faith produces endurance. (James 1: 2-3) but my guidance counselor thought I should aim big – Georgia Tech. Ex-pen-sive! Whew. But he told my mom and me that there would be quite a bit of financial aid. And there was. But not quite enough. At home, jobs were drying up, which meant fewer families in the county. That meant fewer students. That meant less of a need for teachers and teacher’s assistants. My mom lost her job. Then our house burned, and we had to move in with my cousin’s step-sister. We didn’t know her and her boyfriend very well. But they were nice to take us in. I told mom I wasn’t going to leave

Daycare enrollment grows as safety measures address concerns Firms depend on referrals to keep adding customers By TIFFANY MORGAN newsroom@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA — When the wave of COVID-19 swallowed America, businesses, organizations and schools had to completely rethink operations to keep their doors open. For Primrose School of Alpharetta, that took some doing as enrollment first decreased to 30 percent, according to Amanda Coffman, executive director of the daycare facility. Primrose started regulating their facilities immediately, drawing on CDC guidelines, including social distancing, masks, mandatory temperature screening and other measures. Coffman and school owner Irina Bhatia said their school has been “instrumental” in preventing the spread of COVID-19 and continues to guard against the virus through its Rapid Response Plan. Bhatia said their policies
were divided up into three categories: prevention, wellness and cleaning. Prevention policies include touch-free sign-in protocol, limiting access to the building to students and staff, social distancing in classrooms as well as other practices. Wellness policies include temperature screening, health check, response protocols and quarantine guidelines. Cleaning includes employing UV-C air purifiers, upgraded sanitation products for all walls, furniture and flooring, with additional sanitation procedures in place for other highly used items such as playground equipment and toys. With their attention to detail and close communication with families, the facility has since gained back their enrollment and grown beyond that. Coffman said a loyal family following as well as their reputation over the past 30 years has helped the daycare continue to grow. “We’re actively trying to engage fami-
lies … the bulk of our enrollment is word of mouth from the families that are in our building right now,” Coffman said. Security and safety is crucial to keep their current customers and grow new ones, Bhatia said. “It builds trust and confidence,” she said. Kids ‘R’ Kids Learning Academy of Alpharetta is performing the same procedures to ensure children’s safety, including regular temperature checks, the use of masks, frequent hand washing and cleaning. Natasha Thompkins, assistant director at Kids ‘R’ Kids, said their daycare also provides online services for parents who still want a learning experience for their children. Parents have the option to use tools on the daycare’s website to teach their children online. There is also an online academy as well as a virtual teacher, which can provide a one-on-one experience for students preparing to enter pre-K. “We’re very confident that we can support our families and make sure that

New York Life acquires ownership of North Point Mall By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — New York Life Insurance Co., has taken ownership of North Point Mall in a $202 million deal with Brookfield Property Partners through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. A deed in lieu of foreclosure is an instrument allowing the borrower to avoid foreclosure by conveying all interest in a real property to the lender to satisfy a loan that is in default. Brookfield acquired the mall in 2018
through a deal that included ownership of General Growth Properties which at the time was the second largest mall landlord in the country. Its retail properties stretched from Fifth Avenue in New York to Las Vegas’s Grand Canal Shoppes. Speaking last week at a business breakfast sponsored by the Alpharetta Business Association, Mayor Jim Gilvin said the transfer of ownership should have no effect on revitalization plans Brookfield had begun for the mall. Real estate services company Trademark Property has been selected to
manage, lease and evaluate redevelopment for the property. Trademark, a Dallas-based real estate firm, specializes in mixed-use retail developments and has a healthy list of redeveloped centers, including Victory Park in Dallas, Bridgewater Commons in New Jersey and Zona Rosa in Kansas City, Mo. Gilvin said that with the backing of New York Life, he expects Trademark will continue the sweeping changes planned for the mall. Brookfield received city approval in 2019 on plans to include new, freestanding retail and restaurants and
a multi-use trail system with tie-ins to nearby trails and the Big Creek Greenway. The proposal also called for 300 luxury apartments and a 17-acre park. Trademark, itself, has not disclosed how it intends to proceed, but Gilvin said he is optimistic the company will embrace recent efforts by the city to infuse new life to the area. “They’ve already been to Alpharetta, checked out Alpharetta, had conversations, walked around, talked to people… about what Alpharetta is and wants to be,” he said.

Alpharetta singer makes her way in Nashville By ZOE SEILER newsroom@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Growing up on Ga. 9 Jordan Barry was nervous to sing in front of her family. She was embarrassed and shy, and yet she’s a natural on stage. Barry’s music teacher, Laurie Plate, at Alpharetta Methodist School gave her a role in the Christmas pageant. She was Mary and the role included singing a solo. “I was in third grade and all of a sudden I got on stage and sang that song, and all my friends and parents were crying,” Barry said. “That was the first thing that I can remember having like a ‘oh wow like I really love this, I’m a singer’ feeling.” “Ms. Plate was our choir teacher, and all throughout the years, she was the one that helped me discover my love of singing,” she added. Barry went on to become a country singer, moving to Nashville in 2017

If you’ve been reading these ramblings for very long, you’ve probably come to realize that I’m a big fan of the incredible hiking opportunities available within the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA). Individual CRNRA “units” are strung
where she began to find her music and record her own songs. She hadn’t written music before moving to Nashville, although she grew up in a family of musicians and listened to country music. Her mom and dad both love the genre, her grandma used to open for Dolly Parton, and her grandpa was a drummer for Hank Williams Jr. “I remember always watching [the Country Music Association Awards] with my mom, and just having this feeling in my gut like I have to be there. I have to be an artist,” Barry said. Barry also learned to play guitar when she moved. Now splitting her time between Nashville and Alpharetta, when visiting home, her grandma would teach her things here and there on the guitar, as Barry added cover songs to her setlist. Barry has one single out, “Roll With Me,” and recorded the music video in Roswell. She is set to release another, “Lost in a Moment,” next month. The song was written by Barry’s uncle about
her grandpa who passed away due to COVID-19 in March 2020. “It’s kind of a song just for everybody who’s lost something, which I think we all have whether it be a job, a family member, a lot of people lost their homes and stuff,” Barry said, adding that she hopes the song will be a source of comfort. Barry records her music in Alpharetta with John Driskell Hopkins of the Zac Brown Band. They record in an attic studio at his home. Local Atlanta band Yacht Rock Revue also backed Barry with instruments and vocals on her first song. “If a young version of me got to hear that in the past and know that was the future, it would be really exciting,” Barry said. Barry hopes to release her EP this year and share her six songs all as singles. She currently plays at local bars like Kid Rock’s Big Honky Tonk and Steakhouse in Nashville, and Truck and Tap in Alpharetta. Plate was able to see Barry perform
along 48 miles of the Chattahoochee River, starting near Buford Dam, and each unit features hiking trails. It’s an incredible resource that’s the envy of municipalities all over the United States. So here’s the question: How do you encourage folks to get out there and check out those trails for themselves? One person who may have an answer to that one is Ray Steed, a member of the board of the Chattahoochee National Park Conservancy (CNPC), the official “friends” group of CRNRA. Ray is the driving force behind the brand-new HikeCRNRA Challenge, a program designed to get folks excited about discovering all those great CRNRA trails. The HikeCRNRA Challenge is a program that offers special recognition for those who hike every single trail in the park. Every single trail? That sounds like a lot of hiking, and it is. CRNRA has about 66 miles of official trails among
its various individual units. Many units are crisscrossed by a network of trails, too, so to hike them all, you’ll inevitably have to do some backtracking and some rehiking. The total will certainly end up being more than 66 miles. “If you’re serious about the challenge,” Ray says, “you’ll find that it’s more hiking than you might think.” But hikers don’t mind that sort of thing. All hiking is good hiking, right? To help you plan and keep track of your CRNRA hiking progress, the CNPC website (chattahoocheeparks.org) makes it easy to access trail maps and tracking forms. These are easy to use and are tied to the official CRNRA intersection designations. For example, if I hike from (say) intersection VC23 to intersection VC24 in the Vickery Creek Unit, I’d simply record the date that I did so right there on my Vickery Creek Unit tracking sheet. As it turns out, I hiked that very seg-

ment (and several others too) just the other day. Returning home afterward, I dutifully recorded the details on my log sheet. It’s gratifying and encouraging to see the log slowly filling up with handwritten documentation of my progress. I’m getting encouragement from another source too — the disgustingly objective bathroom scale. You can’t do this much hiking without burning up some calories, and that means that the number on the scale each morning is gradually getting lower. That’s another benefit to the HikeCRNRA challenge and (I admit it) it’s one that won’t hurt me a bit. What happens once you’ve hiked all the trails? When that time comes, fill out the summary form (also available on the website) and submit it to CNPC. You can simply take a picture of your completed form and email it, or you can put it in

Protect your financial future: How to secure your dream retirement NAPSI — Many pre-retirees spend their lives putting the needs of their loved ones first. While the support you provide to family and friends is invaluable, it’s important to also prioritize yourself, especially when it comes to retirement planning. Not properly planning and saving can have long-lasting financial consequences and just might lead you away from your dream retirement. The key to staying the course is to consider a few key tips to help enjoy your golden years: Consider your ideal retirement lifestyle — Retirement can last 25 years or longer. As you progress from a preretiree to a retiree, your lifestyle will likely change. Regardless of what your ideal retirement lifestyle looks like, plan ahead for it. Do you want to spend much time traveling or do you want to live a simpler life, spending time gardening and knitting? Thinking about your future plans will help you customize your budget to what you plan to focus on in retirement. Prepare for unexpected health ex-
penses — Getting ready for your dream retirement does not only mean you should save for the expected expenses of your golden age, but also the unexpected. According to a Center for a Secure Retirement (CSR) study, nearly four in five (79%) middle-income Boomers have no money set aside specifically for their retirement care needs. This despite the fact that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that someone turning 65 today has a nearly 70% chance of requiring some type of long-term care services during their lifetime. The average cost for a semiprivate room in a nursing home (not including costs of medications, therapies and other services) in the U.S. was about $89,297 in 2018, according to NAIC data. You should begin planning now for how you’ll pay for ongoing care if you need it. Get acquainted with your health insurance and Medicare benefits, and consider options such as Medicare Supplement insurance or long-term care insurance to fill any gaps in coverage.

Keep an eye on the market — According to the CSR, more than half (54%) of working adults say their retirement planning has taken a hit amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with losing money in the stock market (36%) and being forced to prioritize short-term savings (36%) marked as areas of top concern for those whose retirement has been impacted. Pre-retirees may want to explore alternate methods of retirement savings. There are several different options such as 401(k), IRA or other stock market investments. As you get closer to retirement you may
want to consider moving savings to less volatile investments that are less subject to the ups and downs of the market. Saving money now can help reduce the strain of financial hardships later in life. Market prices often fluctuate, but by keeping an eye on market trends, you can help diminish the risk of financial loss. It’s never too late to plan for retirement. Connect with a financial advisor who can help you better understand your financial plan and current healthcare coverage. By seeking the expertise of others, you can anticipate these common situations and plan for any potential unforeseen situations in the future. This material provides general information about the described insurance product(s) for educational purposes only. This is not intended as investment advice or to recommend the insurance product(s). The Center for a Secure Retirement does not provide legal or tax advice. Each individual should seek specific advice from their own tax or legal advisors.

Recuperative in-home care can be the key to a healthier future Brought to you by — Home Helpers You’ve had a planned procedure or were faced with emergency surgery. The next critical step is a successful recovery, and to understand that people heal more slowly and can have more complications with age. It’s important to take stock of the care you’ll need when you get home, whether it’s directly from the hospital or from a rehabilitation center. At Home Helpers of North Atlanta, we understand the difference a proactive level of Care Management can make for a faster and more successful recovery. The transition home can be very challenging as your mobility, health and emotional needs have changed. With current COVID concerns, your support network must also be safe and appropriately use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Juggling physical or occupational therapy visits, managing nutritional needs and therapy homework can be overwhelming. Home visits from Physical or Occupational Therapists typically happen one to three times a week. We know the hardest part for you or an older loved one can be carrying out therapy homework instructions daily and exercising faithfully, but this can determine your mobility and best quality of life going forward. Here are some things to consider on your recovery journey. Your doctor will do a medical assessment to determine your in-home care needs, and what level of assistance you’ll need with the activities of daily living (ADL’s). With in-home care, you may be discharged directly home. If you enter a rehabilitation facility, that assessment
will happen when you’re ready to be discharged. In either case, work with your in-home care agency to determine a plan of care in advance. There are five areas of integrated wellness for a holistic approach we believe must be considered for the best level of recuperation. The safety of your current situation, whether hydration and nutrition needs are being met, what level of daily physical and therapeutic activity should be followed, your mental health, and levels of social and emotional support. The question we constantly seek to answer is where are you today, and what can we do to move your recuperation forward? Your skilled Home Helpers caregiver can take notes at therapist visits, help you follow a therapy homework schedule, remember any restrictions you should follow, help around the house, assist with personal care, infection control and medication reminders. They can provide specialized support for stroke recuperation, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc. Change is constant as you recover, and it’s important to adapt quickly to your situation. It’s not enough to set up a care plan and make a wonderful match of heart centered caregiver to client. It takes proactive attention to detail by a team with depth and skill. At Home Helpers we have added Care Managers who form a critical communication and coordination link with you and your family as needs arise. We’re here to help – from six hours a day to 24/7 and live-in care. For a free consultation please call Home Helpers of North Atlanta at (678) 430-8511.

Winter is the perfect time for skin rejuvenation By Kathryn Filipek, PA-C Premier Dermatology Microneedling and Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP. In the last twenty years of working in Dermatology, I have been excited to participate FILIPEK in amazing advances in our ability to care for and treat patients. When I started my career, there were few options for resurfacing the skin and few strategies for encouraging the skin to produce its own antiaging molecules. Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, some less effective lasers and early microneedling devices constituted the totality of the procedures that were generally available. Of all these devices, lasers and microneedling have undergone the most significant changes, and this article focuses on modern microneedling and how it can transform one’s skin for the better. Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure, sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy, that involves a pen-like tool with sterilized needles. These needles can be adjusted to various depths and can penetrate into the skin to create small wounds, or microinjuries, to the top layer of your skin. Your body responds to these wounds by generating more collagen and elastin to heal your skin, which in turn can aid in correcting imperfections and make your skin look younger. These treatments can be utilized for several beneficial outcomes including: improving overall skin tone, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, assisting with acne or acne scarring, decreasing hair loss by stimulating growth, evening out scars or stretch marks, reducing the appearance in pore size and tightening loose skin. Generally, microneedling is a gentle procedure that causes minimal swelling, redness, or bruising depending of the depth of needles and the targeted endpoint of the procedure. More aggressive treatments may be required for treating acne scarring or scars themselves, resulting in small periods of downtime. Repeated treatments on a regular basis are required to maximize effects. Hold on a second – needles? And lots of them? No need to sweat. The gentle microneedling procedures often feel like a cat’s tongue scraping across one’s skin. For medium-grade microneedling, topical numbing creams are often applied 30-45 minutes pre-
procedure. And for the most aggressive microneedling focused on facial scar rejuvenation, prescription medication and bringing a driver can make even strongest treatments a positive experience. You can expect to begin seeing results around a week after the first treatment with some evening of skin tone, slightly reduced pore visibility and even a slight improvement in acne. With that said, for long-term results, long-term treatment will be required. This means that after an initial series of at least 3-4 treatments (more for acne scarring, hair loss, or deeper imperfections) 4-6 weeks apart, you will be able to see treatment benefit for several weeks after maximum results have been achieved. These results may not be permanent due to the normal aging process, and maintenance treatments can be scheduled as needed, sometimes every 6-18 months or so depending on one’s goals. One of the most exciting therapies available to complement microneedling procedures is the addition of plateletrich plasma, or PRP. This is a concentrate derived from whole blood that is taken from the patient at the time of the visit and is centrifuged (or spun down) to remove red blood cells. The remaining platelets work to heal wounds and injuries and are very rich in protein, growth factors, and cytokines, helping the skin tissue to repair itself and enhance the benefits of the treatment. While PRP can be utilized in several areas of medicine from joint pain to tendon repair, in dermatology we often utilize its benefits to enhance various cosmetic procedures. With microneedling, PRP is infused into the micro wounds during and after the treatment to aid in the outcome of the procedure, offering a magnified benefit and decreased healing time. Unlike some other treatment modalities, such as some lasers, microneedling can be utilized on most skin types. Consultations are imperative prior to scheduling a procedure so you and your provider can work closely together to prep your skin appropriately, make a plan regarding numbing cream or analgesia, and discuss lifestyle, sun avoidance and aftercare. At Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta, your skin is just as important to us as it is to you. Dr. Brent Taylor, Kathryn Filipek PA, and the entire Premier Dermatology team are committed to treating you and your loved ones like family and helping you exceed your skin health needs and goals.

Local wrestlers capture traditional state championships By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MACON, Ga. — North Fulton and Forsyth County wrestlers had a strong showing at the 2021 GHSA traditional state championship meet Feb. 9-13 at the Macon Centreplex. Nine wrestlers stood atop the podium in their weight classes with over two dozen more earning a top-four finish. Just a few weeks after capturing the Class A team duals state title, Mount Pisgah completed the sweep by taking the team championship at the traditional meet behind four state championships. The Bertrand family was well represented with David Bertrand taking his third state championship. David needed just 35 seconds to win by fall in the 170lb. finals to take the title and complete a 41-1 season. Sophomore Joey Bertrand captured his first state championship, taking the
152-lb. crown after finishing as state runner-up in the 132-lb. division last year. Catherine Grace Bertrand stuck with the boys again this year despite a girls brackets being implemented, and she remained one of the top talents in her weight class. Catherine Grace placed third in the 106-lb. division, winning a 6-4 decision to stand on the podium. After placing as state runner-up in their weight classes last year, Josh Noble and Tyler Nelson broke through to capture state titles.

Marley Washington was the state runner-up in the 126-lb. class, and Jake Piccirilli (160lb.) and Cole Spence (220-lb.) were third with Josh Lange placing fourth in the 138-lb. division.
Three Class 7A state finals were allForsyth County battles. West Forsyth’s Dylan Fairchild defended his state championship in the 285lb. class, downing Lambert’s Thomas Dossett for the title.

West’s Ethan Rickert took the title over Denmark’s Ethan Culbreth. Rickert also won all matches by pin. Avery Krippner of Forsyth Central completed an undefeated season to take the 182-lb. state title in Class 7A. Krippner took down Tristan Graham of North Forsyth in the finals. Bentley Wheeler of North Forsyth also took home a state championship, besting the field in the 152-lb. division to complete an undefeated season. Teammate Cale Bissell was fourth in

Several other local wrestlers placed as state runner-up in their weight classes. In Class 7A, Lambert’s Dylan Lobdell was runner-up in the 145-lb. class, Forsyth Central’s Zac Redecker was second in the 195-lb. division, and Christian Cartier of Roswell was runner-up in the 152-lb. class.

Area basketball programs take region crowns By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — Local boys and girls basketball squads lifted region championship trophies last week with most local teams competing in their respective region tournaments. The top four teams from each tourney secured a spot in the state bracket. The GHSA state tournament begins this week. Region 7-6A boys Defending state champions Chattahoochee captured the Region 7-6A title for the second straight year. The Cougars, who were relegated to the No. 2 seed with a loss to Centennial in the final week of the season, downed the No. 1 seed Knights 57-50 on Feb. 20 to take the title. The Cougars (20-3) also beat Johns Creek, 86-51, and Sequoyah, 66-54, in the tournament. Centennial (21-4) will take the No. 2 seed from the region into the state tournament. After taking a lopsided win over Cambridge in the first round, the Knights squeaked by River Ridge, 50-49, in the semifinals. Two Cherokee County teams, Sequoyah and River Ridge, earned the final two state tournament berths from the region. Johns Creek went 8-15 this season and Cambridge compiled a 6-17 mark. Region 7-6A girls Most North Fulton teams couldn’t keep pace with their Cherokee County foes, but at least one team, Cambridge, is on to the state tournament. The No. 3 seed Bears (16-9) finished third in the 7-6A tourney. Cambridge beat Riverwood in the quarterfinals but fell to Sequoyah in the next round. In the third-place game, the Bears downed Creekview 51-32. Johns Creek and Centennial were eliminated in the first round. No. 4 seed Johns Creek (14-11) was eliminated by No. 5 Creekview. Centen-
Some local regions waive tournaments Region 5-7A, which includes Milton, Roswell and Alpharetta, did not hold a region tournament this season amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the top four teams from the girls and boys region standings earned playoff berths. The Milton boys (23-2), a favorite to make a run for the Class 7A state title, won their third consecutive region championship with a 10-0 record in region play. Cherokee earned the No. 2 seed, Etowah the No. 3 seed and Roswell went 5-5 in 5-7A play to earn the No. 4 seed for the program’s seventh appearance in the state tournament over the last decade. Alpharetta finished its season Feb. 5. The Raiders went 3-18 overall and were winless in region play. In girls competition, Roswell (10-11, 6-4) earned the No. 3 seed behind Cherokee and Woodstock. Alpharetta (7-16, 2-8) and Milton (219, 0-10) failed to make the playoffs. Region 5-5A, which includes Northview, also waived a region tournament this season. The Northview boys (6-11, 5-6) placed sixth in the region standings and missed out on a playoff berth. The Northview girls (5-12, 5-8) also placed sixth in the final standings. nial (3-20) fell to eventual region champs River Ridge in the first round. Region 7-5A boys Blessed Trinity lost an overtime heartbreaker to finish as the runner-up in the Region 7-5A. The Titans (18-8), the No. 4 seed in the tournament, fell to No. 3 Calhoun, 50-45, in overtime of the 7-5A finals. The Titans earned a spot in the tourna-
ment finals by taking down No. 1 seed Cass, avenging two close losses from the regular season. On Jan. 5, Cass took an 83-78 double-overtime win over BT. Two weeks later, BT again fell just short, 53-48. The Titans secured a playoff spot by taking down No. 5 seed Cartersville 6145 in the first round. Region 7-5A girls Blessed Trinity, the No. 4 seed for the 7-5A tournament, fell to Cartersville, 41-28, in the opening round to miss out on a state bracket berth. The Titans went 5-16 overall this season and were 3-7 in region play. Region 7-A boys Mount Pisgah continued its strong campaign by dethroning St. Francis for the Region 7-A boys title. The Patriots downed the defending state champs 6546 for the title. Mount Pisgah (22-6), the No. 1 seed entering the tournament, won each of their three tournament games by an average of 35 points per game. St. Francis continues its streak of state tournament appearances after downing Mt. Bethel, 72-60, and King’s Ridge, 68-60, to reach the region tournament final. King’s Ridge (20-5) beat Fellowship Christian and to earn a playoff berth and downed Lakeview Academy, 63-61, to take the No. 3 seed from the region. Region 7-A girls St. Francis extended its decade-plus streak of region championships last week by dominating the 7-6A tournament. The Knights (18-4), beat Lakeview Academy, 76-24, in the first round before taking down No. 2 seed Fellowship Christian, 69-22, in the tournament final. Fellowship Christian (9-7) is back in the state tournament as the No. 2 seed from the region after taking down Mount Pisgah, 52-33, in the semifinals. Mount Pisgah (8-6) finished third by downing Lakeview Academy 58-46 in the third-place game.
Hike: Continued from Page 12 an envelope and drop it in the mail. What could be easier? Make no mistake about it. It takes a measure of determination to hike all the trails in CRNRA. But once you’ve finished, you’ll have earned bragging rights — and more. “Once you’ve hike all the CRNRA trails,” Ray says, “you will receive an annual CNPC membership.” You’ll also be recognized at the CNPC annual meeting. Other recognition-type goodies (including a patch and a sticker) are in the works too. There’s even talk of a special T-shirt that successful hikers may be able to purchase in the future. Now that would be a badge of honor, wouldn’t it? Has anyone completed the challenge yet? Not so far. But Ray says he doesn’t think it’ll be too long before the first completed log shows up. Several folks are working on it pretty intently, he says. I can say with a fair degree of certainty that Finisher Number One will not be me. But somewhere down the road, my name’s going to show up on that “completed” list too. Meanwhile, I’ll keep working on the challenge, hiking parts of the CRNRA trailscape whenever I can. I’ve got all the time I need, too. As Ray points out, there’s no time limit on this challenge. “You’ve got a lifetime do it,” he says. “Just get out there and start!” For more information on the HikeCRNRA Challenge, visit chattahoocheeparks.org. Steve Hudson is the author of several books on hiking and the outdoors, including HIKING THE HOOCH, a comprehensive guide to the hiking trails of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.

Milton student wins national computing award MILTON, Ga. — Milton High School junior Asmi Kumar has received the National Center for Women & Information Technology Award for Aspirations in Computing. The award recognizes high school students who self-identify as women, genderqueer, or non-binary for their computing-related achievements and interests as part of an effort to encourage a diverse range of students to choose careers in technology. KUMAR Kumar is one of 40 national award winners selected for her outstanding aptitude and aspirations in technology and computing demonstrated by their computing experience, computing-related activities, leadership experience, tenacity in the face of barriers to access and plans for
post-secondary education. She was the only winner from Georgia. Kumar is an aspiring engineer and a blogger for Towards Data Science. She also runs AInspire, a nonprofit which provides free artificial intelligence education through workshops, competitions and videos. Kumar has been recognized by Society for Science and the Public, the White House, Google and MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory for her projects about anticipating autistic meltdowns and mapping poverty from satellite imagery. Recently, she spoke at the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities about her work on a new digital vision therapy tool. “I hope to continue leveraging machine learning for impactful tasks, and I aim to use the power of computing sensibly and thoughtfully to make positive differences,” Kumar said. “Through computer science, I get to blend my passions for technology and programming with my personal values to create, iterating with input from codesigners every step of the way.”
