School board passes redistricting plan
By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — The DeKalb County School Board approved Interim Superintendent Ramona Tyson’s redistricting plan Feb. 10. Tyson said the goal of her plan was to minimize disruption to families until a long-term solution can be implemented to address overcrowding, but Dunwoody parents have been critical of the process. The plan provides relief to Dunwoody and Hightower elementary schools. About 100 students will be moved from Dunwoody to the new Austin Elementary School, and about 100 will be moved from Hightower outside the cluster to Doraville United. Although not included in the plan presented last month, the approved redistricting moves fourth and fifth graders at Dunwoody Elementary School to the Nancy Creek facility cur-

rently being used by Kittredge Magnet School. The magnet students will move to the former John Lewis facility, beginning the 2020-2021 school year. This will allow Dunwoody Elementary to remove all portable classrooms in time for the start of the 2020-2021 school year, the school district said. It will cost around $1 million to retrofit the John Lewis facility for the elementary students. The Dunwoody Elementary and Nancy Creek facilities are located 2.8 miles apart. The district is looking into providing transportation options to relieve stress on parents with students in both locations. The redistricting plan commits the district to developing a comprehensive master plan during the 2020-2021 school year. The master plan will look at long-term enrollment forecasts, facility assessments, capital project prioritization, budgeting and redistricting.

Homeowners association weighs in on Dunwoody Village Master Plan By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody Homeowners Association officially weighed in on the city’s proposed changes to the Dunwoody Village Master Plan, asking that no residences to be included in the district. At a Feb. 9 meeting, residents from the adjacent neighborhoods of The
Branches and Vernon Oaks shared their perspectives, and the homeowners board formally released its position on the plan. The Dunwoody Village Master Plan dictates zoning and land use near the intersection of Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Road. Initially adopted in 2011, the master plan envisions transforming the area into a more walkable, mixed-use city center.

No detached, single-family houses would be allowed within the village, but townhomes would be permitted outside the core. Owner-occupied multi-unit housing, like condos or multiplexes, would be allowed in all four districts, but rental apartments would require a special use permit from the City Council. All housing would be a maximum density of 12 units per acre. The homeowners’ meeting was recorded and live streamed on Facebook. For more information, visit dunwoodyga.org.

Hallum has a unique five-year model for sustainable harvest that the Rotary Club of Dunwoody has helped to fund over the years. Hallum’s work focuses on tree planting education, providing seeds and building ceramic stoves that vent to the outside. Deaths from lung disease caused by the smoke from indoor stoves are eight times the number of malaria deaths there. Les Woodsides of Dunwoody has helped build 1,825 stoves over 5 years. Hallum moved to Dunwoody in 2012 to work full time, nonsalaried for the alliance. Their website is AIRGuatemala.org.

Perimeter Marketplace developers seek site plan changes By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY — Developers of Perimeter Marketplace, a new grocery-anchored shopping center along Ashford Dunwoody Road between Ashwood Parkway and Meadow Lane, have presented a request to change their site plan. The City Council originally approved the shopping center in June 2019. Now, the developers are asking to change plans for a standalone bank on the southwest corner of the lot to allow for uses that include medical service, office, restaurant or retail. Speaking at the Feb. 10 City Council meeting, a representative for the developers said the bank tenant they had anticipated fell through, and they were now in talks with a medical service firm. She said they want the additional options for flexibility. The Perimeter Marketplace project received pushback during the initial zoning process last year. The development will pave over a pond to put in a parking lot, reducing Perimeter Center’s already limited green space. Opponents argued the plan does not conform with the Perimeter Center Overlay, which calls for more walkability, green space and residences and fewer surface parking lots. One resident revived those arguments during public comment at the Feb. 10 meeting.

Renderings capture what Perimeter Marketplace, a new grocery-anchored shopping center, could look like at the corner of Ashford Dunwoody Road and Meadow Lane. “It certainly does not create the conditions for a true ‘live-work’ environment,” Robert Wolford said. “The biggest problem I have with this plan is nowhere on the site is there residential housing.” The council asked several questions of the developer during the first read. Council members focused on the developers’ request to allow a drive-through
if the building is used for a medical service. The original bank plan allowed a drive-through, but they are generally discouraged in areas where cities are trying to increase walkability. “I just question whether or not it actually needs to have a drive-through,” Councilwoman Stacey Harris said. Also at the Feb. 10 meeting, the
council heard the first reads of proposed code changes to allow for microbreweries, open carry in Dunwoody Village and construction fence wrap signs. Additionally, the council approved plans to build 4,900 square feet of classroom space and administrative offices at Saint Barnabas Anglican Church on North Peachtree Road.

Mayor Lynn Deutsch made it clear she wants the Perimeter park to move forward as soon as possible, asking when the city could start demolition. “This park is a priority for me,” Deutsch said. “I’d like to see this com-

Further down the pipeline, the city has conceptual plans to build pocket parks by the Perimeter Center Parkway flyover bridge and underneath the Dunwoody MARTA station.

PAST TENSE
Wright family was part of DeKalb County’s dairy country In the 1930s and 1940s, DeKalb County was dairy country. At one point, there were 150 dairies in DeKalb County. A 1939 map in the book “A Century in North DeKalb: The VALERIE Story of the First BIGGERSTAFF Baptist Church of Chamblee 18751975” shows 33 dairies in the North DeKalb area. Wright Dairy was located along Briarwood Road, between today’s North Druid Hills Road and Buford Highway. This
history is available in the writings of Mrs. Willig of Brookhaven in the archives at DeKalb History Center. The history includes profiles of a few early residents and history of the Brookhaven/North Atlanta Planning Council which was active in the 1950s and 1960s. Willig describes the location of Wright Dairy as where Arvilla Apartments were located in the 1970s. She spoke with Paul and Winnie Wright to find out more about Wright Dairy. Paul Wright was born in a house on Clairmont Road in 1908. His parents, Daniel M. and Myrtis Wright, later moved to property on what is now Briarwood Road where they farmed and started the dairy.
ALL DUNWOODY CITIZENS INVITED
The Wright family started out with about 12 cows, growing that number over the years to 26. Everyone in the family helped run the dairy, which meant working seven days a week. All the milking was done by hand. Paul Wright recalled getting up at 4 a.m. to wash and milk the cows. A sterilizer was used, which was able to hold 20 cases of bottles at one time. Each case had 12 bottles. The sterilizer was heated from a wood boiler because there was no electricity. Then, the milk was placed in ice boxes. One hundred pounds of ice was delivered every day for cooling the milk. In the early days, they used a wagon and mule to deliver the milk. Tuesdays and Saturdays were delivery days, which included a handful of Brookhaven homes, but mostly Atlanta homes. In Brookhaven, the early customers of Wright Dairy were the Stokes and Wehunt families. As Paul Wright put it, “90 percent of the families had their own cow,” so not many people nearby needed the service. All payments were made in cash, with the Wright family members go-
ing door to door to collect for their milk delivery. The Wright Dairy business operated during World War I and the beginning of World War II. During World War II, there was a shortage of gasoline, as well as cars and trucks. Due to the problems these shortages caused and Paul’s brother joining the military, the dairy business was shut down. He recalled that milk was 15 cents a quart in those days. Paul Wright’s brother Daniel went overseas as part of the 4th Marine Division. He died at Tinian Island in the Pacific in July of 1944. After the family closed the dairy business, Paul Wright worked at Lawson General Hospital from 1942 until 1947. He delivered Atlanta Journal newspapers in the Brookhaven area for many years after that. Wright Dairy was a family business, relying on each family member to help get the job done. It is the story of many small dairies throughout DeKalb County in the 1930s and 1940s. You can reach Valerie at pasttensedunwoody@gmail.com.

The Investment Coach
The best and worst of plane travel One of the top resolutions for 2020 for many is “to travel.” Clients contemplating retirement, or those retired, talk to us about their bucket list. Lewis J. Walker, CFP oftenGrandparents are interested in travel involving family members, especially grandchildren. Seniors joke about the “go-go years” post-retirement, potentially followed by “slow-go” and “no-go” years. Younger travelers don’t want to wait until retirement. “Getting out there” is an early objective. Active adventure travel is a fast growing category. The point of financial planning is to help you accomplish your goals within desired time frames while meeting expectations. Travel can be expensive, so budget considerations frame capabilities. Time is a factor, as is distance. Plane travel often is involved and the tradeoff between cost and comfort looms large in your decisions. Lately, this flyer hasn’t seen many empty seats on planes. Computers have enabled airlines to better balance supply and demand, with “cheap seats” disappearing quickly as flights fill up. Elite flyers grumble about a scarcity of complimentary upgrades. Terror is a middle seat in the rear of a completely full aircraft, all bins full, no room for your stuff, and you’re squeezed between two passengers of more than average girth. Oh, and your seat won’t lean back, the audio system isn’t working, the captain just announced a ground delay, and you have a tight connection on leg two of your journey. Joy! The only thing worse might be a passenger next to you with a miniature therapy pony.
Here’s the rub. Airline seats, especially in economy, are shrinking, while travelers seem to be getting larger. The average seat width in coach cabins is 17 to 18.5 inches. Seat pitch, the space between the back of your seat and the seat in front of you, on major airlines is roughly 31-32 inches. Some budget airlines have a seat pitch of 28 inches. If you’re over six feet tall, you may have teeth marks on your knees. Complaints about uncomfortable seats, cattle car configurations, are legion. In planning any trip, you must consider the tradeoffs involved in cost versus comfort and levels of service. Download seatguru.com. The site offers seat charts for U.S. and foreign carriers with information about seat width and pitch. The chart shows good seats and undesirable seats. “Bad seats” may lack a window or have a misaligned window, not lean back, have restricted leg room, reduced seat width, too close to restrooms (or the galley, a bother on long distance overnight flights). Exit row seats offer extra legroom but the seat next to the exit door can be cold, especially on long-haul flights. Middle seats are universally unpopular, hard to avoid with 3-across configurations. If you’re traveling with a companion who eschews middle seats, go for aisles across or look for aircraft with 2-3 , 2-3-2, or 2-4-2 configurations. For Delta, SeatGuru shows 10 different seat configurations on their wide body jets and 20 different layouts on narrow body airplanes. Delta also offers multiple classes of service. For domestic service or international flights less than 6.5 hours, you are likely to find First Class, Delta Comfort, and coach service that includes Main Cabin and Basic Economy. Long haul international flights, primarily on wide body aircraft, may include Delta One (premium lay flat bed service), Premium Select (2-3-2 seat
configuration), Delta Comfort, and Main Cabin/Economy (2-4-2 or 3-3-3 configurations). Many newer aircraft have extended range with flights exceeding 14 to 17 hours or more. If you can afford it, or have points for a free ticket or an upgrade, go for business class with lay flat beds with each seat having direct aisle access. Climbing over a sleeping someone next to you in the middle of the night on an older style business class configuration is no fun. Shop around. Out of Atlanta you have a multiplicity of carriers and choices as to fares, classes of service, and varying seat configurations. There have been some amazing sale offers lately to Asia and Africa. The comedian Lewis Black said, “You want to know what it’s like to be on a plane for 22 hours? Sit in a chair, squeeze your head as hard as you can, don’t stop, then take a paper bag and put it over your mouth and nose and breathe your own air over and over.” If your bucket list includes the seven continents, including explorations of Antarctica, Australia, Asia, Africa, you’re in for long flights. You want to be in the front of the plane! Creative travel is one of the joys of financial independence. Aim to accumulate the wherewithal to travel in the style to which you are determined to become accustomed!

Annual Meals with Meaning to benefit nonprofit fighting homelessness By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Local residents will get a chance to enjoy a family-style dinner with live music, all for a good cause. On Thursday, March 12, Family Promise of North Fulton/DeKalb, a nonprofit dedicated to ending homelessness, will hold its Meals with Meaning dinner starting at 6 p.m. at Roswell Historic Cottage, 972 Alpharetta St. All proceeds will go toward supporting the nonprofit’s mission and will include a testimony from a recently graduated family. “Meals with Meaning started with a board member’s vision of holding a family style dinner in her home for her friends,” said Executive Director Andrea Brantley. “Rather than spend-
ing money going out to dinner, her friends would enjoy her home-cooked meal and for their appreciation would donate to her favorite charity Family Promise NFD. We decided shortly after that we could make Meals with Meaning a larger event along the same lines and serve a family-style meal to a larger audience.” Family Promise of North Fulton/ DeKalb provides temporary assistance and case management for about 35 homeless people, or 10 homeless families, annually through a rotational shelter program. Their average length of stay is about 90 days or until stabilization. Each day, however, the nonprofit responds to about 50 calls and emails and provides referrals, resources and case management to those in need.
Family Promise of North Fulton/DeKalb/Special
About 200 people attended the first Meals with Meaning put on by Family Promise of North Fulton/DeKalb March 2019 at Heritage Sandy Springs. While homelessness seems out of character with the perception of areas like Roswell and Alpharetta, it exists, Brantley said.
Meals with Meaning can help bring more attention to the issue, she added. “We will have the opportunity to educate our audience on the invisible neighbors in our community and how they can help,” Brantley said. Last year’s event, the nonprofit’s first, featured keynote speaker Renee Montgomery from Atlanta Dream as well as a single dad and son who spoke about their history with homelessness. The event has since become Family Promise of North Fulton/DeKalb’s annual fundraiser. This year, Meals with Meaning will start with light appetizers and cocktails along with live music from Captain and the Kid, followed by a family-style dinner with beer and wine. Organizers will show a video from the past year during the festivities along with testimony from a graduated family. Tickets for Meals with Meaning start at $75. Sponsorship packages are available.

Get Outside Georgia
High-water lemonade Unless you’ve been living in your basement for the last few weeks, you may have noticed that it has rained…and rained…and rained. There have been brief flashes of sun, but the picture that my mind STEVE HUDSON paints is one of delGet Outside Georgia, uges and monsoons. aa4bw@comcast.net Where does all that water go? A lot of it has gone into Lake Lanier. I heard this morning on the radio that the lake level is about four feet above full pool, and when you’re talking about a lake the size of Lanier, that translates into a lot of water. Lanier, however, is just one of many things affected by all that precipitation. The trails are too wet for hiking, at least when I’ve been able to get out… the streams are too high for fishing… the boat ramps are all underwater…for the outdoor adventurer, it’s a list of woes that goes on and on. Poor, poor pitiful me, stuck inside, on the wrong side of
OPINION the window looking out and not in. How sad. But before I let it get me down, I’ll try to distract myself with another question instead: Where does all that water in the lake come from? Well, Lanier gets a lot of its water from the Chattahoochee River. The river, in turn, gets its water from myriad smaller streams. And that’s where the idea of Chattahoochee Lemonade comes in. If there’s one good thing about rain in the Chattahoochee watershed, it’s the fact that all that extra water does incredible things to waterfalls. Diehard waterfall fans know that, for there is no better time to visit and appreciate and photograph waterfalls that in the days following a period of sustained rain. In fact, I’ll bet that at this very minute there are untold numbers of waterfall aficionados making plans for some waterfall hiking just as soon as the opportunity presents itself. I confess: I’m making exactly that kind of plan myself! What Chattahoochee watershed waterfalls am I planning to visit? There are a lot to choose from, more than you or I, or both of us together, could visit in a week’s worth of Saturdays, but I’ve narrowed it down to a short list of four perpetual favorites. Here they are, and happy waterfall watching! Anna Ruby Falls, near Helen We’ve mentioned Anna Ruby Falls before, and the chance to see it after lots of
TheCrier.net | Dunwoody Crier | February 20, 2020 | 15
rain is not something to be missed. Anna Ruby is actually two waterfalls sitting side by side (a 50-foot falls on York Creek and a second 150-foot falls on Curtis Creek), and they’re easily accessed via a family-friendly paved interpretive trail at the Anna Ruby Falls Recreation Area near Helen. You can get to this site via Ga. 356 and Smith Creek Road. Just follow the signs. A small admission charge gives you access to this area, and the roughly half-mile trail to the falls begins to the left of the visitor center. Dukes Creek Falls, near Helen Dukes Creek Falls awaits you at the end of a moderately challenging, but definitely do-able, hike (about 1 mile in and another mile out). It’s accessible off Ga. 348, which turns west from Ga. 75A near Smithgall Woods State Park. The parking area for the falls (it’s marked by a sign, and there’s a small parking fee) is on the left a little ways down 348. From the parking area, you’ll descend to the main trail, where you’ll turn left and begin the long descent to the falls. The star here is actually a 150-foot waterfall on Davis Creek, a major tributary to Dukes Creek, but just to its right you’ll also see a set of cascades on Dukes Creek itself. Large wooden viewing platforms provide spectacular (and safe) views. Sure, the hike back will be uphill. But that’s a small price to pay to see this falls at its prime.
Amicalola Falls, near Dawsonville Another must-see, rainy-season waterfall is Amicalola Falls in Amicalola State Park near Dawsonville. With a height of 729 feet, it’s absolutely unforgettable. There are viewing areas at the top of the falls as well as at the bottom, but you won’t see much from the top. The view from the bottom is the one you want, though fully appreciating it requires you to complete the challenging hike (climbing many, many stairsteps in the process) which begins at the parking area and ends at viewing platforms near the base of the falls. Note that a daily or annual state parks parking pass is required. Helton Creek Falls, near Blairsville Helton Creek Falls is actually a pair of waterfalls with a total drop of around 100 feet. These falls are accessible via the short (0.2-mile) and fairly easy Helton Creek Falls Trail. The trailhead is located off US 129 south of Blairsville. From Blairsville, go south on 129 for just over 11 miles and then turn right onto Helton Creek Road. The turn will be just over a mile beyond the entrance to Vogel State Park. After making the turn, continue for about 2.2 miles to the small pullout parking area and trailhead on your right. The trail takes you to good vantage points for seeing both falls. Warning: Never try to climb on the rocks around these falls! They are extremely slippery and offer a treacherous footing.
