Homeowners’ group focuses Master gardener class covers proper nurturing methods on abandoned property By CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmedia.com
By JEFFREY ALBERTSON newsroom@appenmedia.com
DUNWOODY, Ga. – The Dunwoody Homeowners Association discussed zoning issues with city officials, including frustrations regarding an abandoned property at 4822 Chamblee Dunwoody Road that has been an eyesore for years. At the May 2 meeting, Dunwoody’s Director of Community Development Richard McCloud discussed the limitations that city is facing in trying to bring the property into code compliance after there was a fire several years ago. The property sits across the street from the Donaldson-Bannister Farm near Vermack Road. “After the fire, once we were able to get in there, we found that the house had not been repaired, and the owner was living in the garage,” McCloud said. “The house was condemned, and there is no power or water. But in a lot of ways our hands are tied. The house is paid for, and unless the property taxes are not paid, we can’t do much.” McCloud said the city is scheduled to go to court this month seeking permission to cut the grass. According to Dunwoody’s charter, the city can condemn a building structure that is “dangerous to life, limb or property by reasons of decay, dilapidation or unsanitary condition.” However, Georgia code requires governing authorities to take a series of steps before enacting eminent domain, McCloud said. He didn’t elaborate as to where the
DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody Community Garden and Orchard held a master gardener class on May 8th covering proper watering and fertilization techniques. Improper attention can lead to disappointing crop yield as plants come to term in the coming months. The talk, led by Richard Osterholtz, discussed the importance of morning watering and using fertilizer to maintain a healthy pH balance and growth in a garden plot. He also covered how to build an organic 10-10-10 fertilizer with an equal balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. While mixing your own fertilizer may have a steep learning curve, Osterholtz recommended using an online calculator, such as at the website aesl. ces.uga.edu/soil/fertcalc/. Osterholtz became a master gardener in 2014 and has been the site leader at DCGO since 2016. He suggests conducting a soil sample test from the University of Georgia before staking out or planting crops. Information about testing can be found at: aesl.ces.uga.edu/soil.html. Watering plants at the wrong time of day may lead to water loss or fungus development. Different fungi may develop as excess water remains on leaves overnight in a humid climate, which inhibits evaporation. Overwatering and fertilization can

city was in the process. In other business covered at the meeting, DeKalb County School System District 1 Representative Anna Hill made an informal presentation, stating her support for the elimination of trailers at Dunwoodyarea schools. “They need to go,” she said. “Our new COO (Benjamin) Estill is also committed to having zero trailers in the schools.” Hill encouraged participants who have an interest in the school system to voice their concerns to board members, and follow protocol when reporting problems in the classroom, from the teacher to the supervisor to the principal, and if necessary, into the education department hierarchy.

Argument with neighbor leads to battery charge DUNWOODY, Ga. — A fight between neighbors at the Dunwoody Glen Apartment Homes on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard led to one woman being arrested sometime before dawn May 2. Celina Razo, 38, of Dunwoody, was charged with simple battery. The victim told police Razo punched her in the face and busted her lip. The victim said her husband was on the front porch drinking with Razo’s husband. When she asked her husband to come inside their apartment because he was too drunk, Razo intervened and insisted that he not let the victim manipulate him. That led to an exchange of words between the two women during which Razo allegedly struck the victim, according to police.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Man threatens pedestrian with gun gesture at mall DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Douglasville woman called police April 30 to report that an unidentified suspect threatened her while she was at Perimeter Mall. The complainant said she was crossing the road and stepped in front of a vehicle. When she yelled for the car to slow down, she said the male driver cussed at her and made a gun gesture as he threatened to pull a firearm. The driver nearly struck the woman’s mother as he sped away from the scene. The victim took a picture of the suspect’s license plate, which returned to a Hertz rental car out of Texas, according to police.
Driver cited for speeding at 111 mph on freeway
DRUGS & DUI arrests Kendall Anthony Jackson, 27, of Dunwoody Crossing, Atlanta, was arrested April 27 on North Peachtree Road for DUI, expired or no license plates or decal and improper lane usage.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Stone Mountain teen spotted driving 111 mph on Interstate 285 on April 26 told officers he was speeding to a gas station because he was about to run out of petrol. Shomari Ajani Anderson, 19, was arrested and charged with reckless driving, driving too fast for conditions and improper passing. According to a patrol officer, Ander-
son sped past his squad car and made an erratic lane change as they were travelling eastbound on I-285. The speed limit on the interstate was 65 mph. The officer paced Anderson’s speed at 111 mph and pulled him over. Anderson said he knew he was driving well over 100 mph.

This year, 25,112 students from 49 Georgia high schools wrote essays and competed for cash prizes worth $17,200, funds derived from weekly raffles at Rotary meetings. Dunwoody Rotarian George Stewart has overseen the 25-year-old program for 20 years, and the program bears his
name. As a social and emotional learning tool, the contest fulfills the state-mandated character education requirement and is offered free of charge to high schools. This signature program of the Rotary Clubs of Georgia takes Rotary’s emphasis on ethics, education, peace, and literacy into the classroom.

City Council set to resume talks Pop-up events celebrate diverse culture on development code changes By JEFFREY ALBERTSON newsroom@appenmedia.com
By CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Council was set this week to revisit an ordinance that would reduce the minimum land area required for a planned development, which includes some modifications discussed at its previous session. The revised proposal calls for a minimum contiguous land area of 200,000 square feet (4.5 acres) if all or part of the land is “located in a suburban neighborhood character area or in the Institutional/Campus character area as established in the comprehensive plan.” In all other areas, the planned development must have a minimum contiguous land area of 1.5 acres, according to revised ordinance. The ordinance also reflected several conditions recommended by the Dunwoody Planning Commission, including the provision that the commission could defer the matter up to three times. On the fourth deferral, the matter would be moved forward to the council without recommendation.
The council was also to host the presentation of a lifesaving award to Dunwoody resident Kim McGrady, who died in March after saving several swimmers from a riptide at a Florida beach on April 8. The council was also to honor McGrady’s son, Colton, and another man, Preston Lyn, who assisted in rescuing the swimmers. McGrady, who worked at Chick-filA as a field operations manager, left behind a wife, Leigh Anne, and two children. A Go Fund Me page has been set up in his honor and has collected more than $142,000. The council was also to consider a proposal to install four new License Plate Capture and Recognition cameras throughout the city, as well as replace 16 already installed cameras operated by Georgia Power that been problematic. The reoccurring cost for operating the cameras is about $4,000 a month, according to a memo from Dunwoody Police Chief Billy Grogan, about $900 less per month than the program administered by Georgia Power.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Government sponsored a series of pop-up events May 7-9, bringing awareness to Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The events included a Lao Papaya salad demonstration, Japanese Art of Flower arrangement, Thai iced tea tastings, Thai coconut chicken soup tasting and a Laotian dance performance. Residents and visitors experienced the cuisine and culture from local artists, chefs and performers. Additional events are expected to be announced this month. One of the evening events included an Indian trio, who played three original compositions. One of the compositions, “Spirit of Dunwoody,” featured electric and acoustic guitars, along with a twindrummed instrument, called a tabla. The tabla is played in popular and folk music of India and parts of south Asia. The trio featured Jayanta Pathak on electric guitar, Anjaneya Sastry drummed the tabla and Dr. Eamon Dutta played an acoustic guitar. All three local residents are part of a 12-member music group that fuses Eastern, Western and Middle Eastern into a palatable and chic listening experience.
The group is working on an album called “Concoction” with World Music U.S.A., based in Dunwoody. At age 14, Pathak began creating music and worked in Mumbai and London before moving to the U.S. His musical tenure includes composing and producing original soundtracks and background scores for American, Indian and British feature films. He has also worked on at least 40 albums. “Everybody loves music, and every and different corner of the whole world that is so fantastic and beautiful has music,” Pathak said. “For me, being from the world music organization, I am more excited to let people know about how we can blend and get together and do something good.” Sastry has played the tabla for 15 years and performs in Hindustani classical concerts. Dutta, who is a psychiatrist at the Peachford Behavioral Health System, has played the guitar since age 9. He has played with Pathak and fusion bands in the Atlanta area for about 10 years. The idea behind Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is to place renewed focus on the Asian community for the culture it contributes to

Memories of Kathryne Carpenter, born 1909 Kathryne Margaret Carpenter rode the Roswell Railroad to shop in Atlanta, traveled in a Model T, worked at Sears on Ponce de Leon Avenue and graduated from Chamblee High School in VALERIE 1928. Thanks to an BIGGERSTAFF interview conducted by Lenore G. Whitley for the Dunwoody Crier in 1995, her memories are preserved. Carpenter was 85 years old and lived until 2004. (Dunwoody Crier archives held by Dunwoody Preservation Trust) “I’ve only lived on this spot of ground,” Carpenter shared with Whitley. The family home was on the southeast corner of Tilly Mill Road and Mount Vernon Road. Carpenter’s parents were Effie Spruill Carpenter and Ambrey Carpenter Sr. She also lived with her grandmother Amanda Carpenter and older sister Lucy. Her younger brother, Ambrey Jr., was born six years later. All three children were born at home and delivered by Dr. Puckett of Dunwoody. Ambrey Sr. was born in the same 1800s home. The Carpenters were farmers with land on either side of Mount Vernon Road and both sides of Tilly Mill Road. According to Carpenter, “We raised all our vegetables. We just about raised everything we ate.” They kept chickens, cows, and hogs. After school, she would change clothes, get some food and begin her chores. (Dunwoody Crier, April 20, 1978, “Happy Birthday Effie). Kathryne went to Dunwoody School
Kathryne Carpenter is pictured standing in the center of the back row in this photograph of the Chamblee High School 1928 graduating class. through seventh grade and Chamblee High School, the only high school in north DeKalb County, through 11th grade. Before her family had a car, she rode the Roswell Railroad from Dunwoody to Chamblee and then boarded the train to Atlanta to go shopping. Ambrey sometimes drove the children to school with a mule and buggy until the family purchased a Model T in 1925. The car often got stuck in the mud on an unpaved Mount Vernon Road, sometimes requir-
ing the children to help push. Effie Spruill Carpenter shared with Kathryne her memory of the first car on Mount Vernon Road. The year was 1904, the same year Lucy Carpenter was born. After high school, Kathryne Carpenter worked in the mail room at Sears Roebuck on Ponce de Leon Avenue. She considered her coworkers family and stayed in touch when she retired after 35 years. In 1949, when Ambrey Sr. died,
Kathryne and her mother built a new home where the original farmhouse sat. Kathryne convinced her mother they should rebuild to have modern conveniences such as central heat. Effie Spruill Carpenter died in 1990 at the age of 101. Kathryne, her parents, and several other family members are buried in the New Hope Cemetery on Chamblee Dunwoody Road.

Inflation and your financial future With record amounts of money injected into the American economy via massive deficit spending, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, on Meet The Press opined, LEWIS J. WALKER, CFP (2/28/21) “Is there a risk to inflation? I think there’s a small risk and I think it’s manageable.” Students of history might disagree. The late Karl Pohl (1929-2014), former West German central banker, famously said, “Inflation is like toothpaste. Once it’s out, you can hardly get it back in again.” The fiscal toothpaste already may be out of the tube. Last year, the cost of supermarket purchases rose 3.5 percent, 75 percent above the 20-year average. As COVID restrictions ease, stir-crazy individuals and families are hitting the road and flooding airports. Gas prices are up. Airline fares are rising as demand recovers. The Biden administration aims to increase the federal gas tax to help pay for infrastructure. Transportation costs are rising with a shortage of shipping containers, and demand for truck drivers is accelerating. Noted on a recent road trip, many tractor-trailers were sporting signs, “Drivers wanted. Good pay.” Housing prices in Metro Atlanta rose almost 10 percent in the past year. Increased costs for lumber and other construction materials are pushing up prices on new construction and home renovation projects. Quite simply, inflation is a decline in the purchasing power of your money over time. Remember the first year of the new millennium? It takes $1.48 to buy what $1 purchased in 2001. That’s inflation. Suppose you aim to retire in 20 years, with a minimum of $1 million in today’s dollars in your 401(k) or other retirement plan. You may need more than $1,480,000 net of taxes to equal today’s purchasing power. Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman (1912-2006) wisely observed, “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.” During the pandemic and its aftermath, we’ve seen tsunami-like federal spending, with more proposed. To support spending our government can either increase taxes, incur debt or print money. Federal Reserve Bank data shows that in 2020 U.S. currency increased by about $11 trillion, of which 34 percent was
printed money. (Epoch Times, 4/14/21). It’s hard to imagine that we can keep that up without debasing our currency. As for borrowing, the Treasury is encountering resistance from bond buyers both foreign and domestic, hence rising yields on benchmark 10-year paper. The administration seeks to raise the corporate income tax rate to 28 percent from 21 percent. When costs of any kind rise for a company there’s less money to reinvest in growth, less money to hire new workers and increase salaries, benefits and profit sharing. Less for research and design and competing with China. Less money for stock dividends, important to retirees and other investors. Competitive pressures and squeezed profit margins incentivize replacing labor with technology. Don’t believe the hype that corporate tax increases won’t impact you. The administration calls for higher capital gains taxes on annual income over $1 million, raising the tax rate to 39.6 percent, equal to the proposed top rate on ordinary income. Add the 3.8 percent Medicare surcharge and the total is 43.4 percent. Add state income taxes and the bite in some jurisdictions exceeds 50 percent. States with no income tax, like Florida and Texas, are likely to benefit.
Ponder the impact on entrepreneurs and farmers, those “asset rich” but “cash poor,” when they seek to retire and monetize their investment. Tax and estate planning, and succession planning for closely-held-business owners, merits increased urgency. When you tap your qualified retirement plan nest egg, every dollar withdrawn is taxed at ordinary income rates. Given the outlook for lavish federal spending and rising debt service interest costs on current and future debt, do you think tax increases will be confined only to the millionaire and billionaire classes? Rising taxes are a form of “inflation” as your net buying power decreases relative to gross income. Young people starting on the road to financial independence have a dog in this fight. President Herbert Hoover proclaimed, “Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.” At all ages, strive to grow an investment portfolio tilted toward the hedging of inflation, one built on solid goals, dedication, perseverance, and time. Stocks as an inflation hedge take time and patience. Own things likely to appreciate with inflation, including growth and

Local residents held a vigil at Brook Run Park in Dunwoody to commemorate the deceased. “Especially in light of recent events, we want to create an awareness and understanding of different cultures and heritages,” Dunwoody Business and Cultural Development Manager Rosemary Watts said. “We’re building on what already makes Dunwoody a diverse, cohesive and accepting community (and) hope these events bring people closer together.”
DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody Preservation Trust has scheduled its next History Alive Program, “Fighting Fascism with Film,” for Saturday, May 15, 2021 from 9:30-11 a.m. The presentation, given by John Thomas Scott, will detail how American filmmakers used both documentaries and feature films from 1941 to 1945 to support the war effort. The program will feature clips from movies such as “Mrs. Miniver,” “Casablanca,” and “They Were Expendable,” as well as clips from documentaries made by Hollywood directors such as John Ford and Frank Capra. John Thomas Scott is a professor of history at Mercer University in Macon. He specializes in early American history, particularly the history of Trustee Georgia (1732-1752). His re-
cently published book, “The Wesley’s and the Anglican Mission of Georgia, 1735-1738” (Lehigh Press), details the experiences of the Wesley brothers and other Anglican missionaries to the colony, focusing on the personal relationships that shaped their efforts. His course offerings at Mercer include “American Film as Art and History,” in which he helps students see how films work both as art forms and as historical documents. History Alive will be held at the Donaldson-Bannister Farm, 4831 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody, GA 30338, outside under a tent covering the barn patio. Admission is $5 for DPT members, $10 for non-members. No reservations required.

Health Insurance – What are my options, and what is right for me? Brought to you by Josh Dougherty, Xperience Benefits After our 2nd year of being in business, it did not take long to figure out that people absolutely love talking about health insurance! DOUGHERTY Kidding of course. However, for as much as people do not WANT to talk about it, the truth is that you MUST talk about it. Why? For business owners that sponsor benefits, typically benefits are
their 2nd highest cost behind payroll itself! For individuals, it has the potential to be a family’s largest bill besides their mortgage! So, what do we do? Given that we live in the 21st century, we take up arms (our keyboard) and Google “health insurance”. Doing so will give you a litany of large companies that pay to have their websites at the top of your page and most force you to input information so that some telemarketer will call you selling whatever policy their company pushes. Ok, that may be a bit extreme, but you get the point. So, what are my options and

what is right for me? Well, we begin each conversation asking where you are. If you are a business owner and you are looking to offer benefits to your employees, there are HMO, PPO, EPO & POS plans available. There are pros and cons to each one of these plans. Also, if you and your employees are willing to undergo simple underwriting, there are self-funded or level-funded plans that (if you qualify) allow you to garner quality PPO plans, at heavily reduced rates. If you are an individual/family seeking a plan, we would ask about 2 items: 1) you and your family’s overall health and 2) your household income. Why? There are plans on the individual market that, like above, if you can pass underwriting, you may be eligible for quality plans at a discounted rate.

The questions of care Brought to you by – Home Helpers
Over the years, we all face health challenges. For our older loved ones, there are a myriad of questions to answer when creating a plan for a safe homecoming from the hospital, surgery, rehabilitation or a nursing facility stay. Today we’d like to review the most common questions we receive at Home Helpers of North Atlanta and highlight how we can work to complement your senior health coverage to provide a wholistic approach tailored to your needs in the comfort of home. -What’s the difference between Home Health and Home Care? Providing you qualify under Medicare or Medicaid guidelines, Home Health provides professional, clinical medical assistance. A skilled nurse can come on an intermittent, part time basis to assist with things like injections, major wound care, pain management medications and ongoing medical tests. Licensed physical or occupational therapist visits may also be prescribed to help improve or maintain your condition. Typically, the plan involves a therapist coming out two or three times a week, with the responsibility for daily therapy homework to be performed by you when the therapist isn’t there. In either case, extended or 24 hour care is not covered. Services are not intended to last forever, but to reach a goal, and you are responsible for any copays. Your care plan will be reviewed and audited at certain points. Home Care services are typically not covered by health insurance but may be covered if you have a long term care policy or are a veteran. A trained inhome care aide helps with your activities of daily living - from bathing, dressing, incontinence care and grooming for a full range of personal care. Chosen for
their compassion and extensive skills training, a heart centered Home Helpers caregiver can also cover things like meal preparation, light housekeeping, assistance keeping medical appointments and following therapy homework for a faster and more successful recovery. The companionship and dedicated care provided can be critically important, especially upon homecoming. From several days a week to 24/7 coverage, and your inhome care can be adjusted as the road to recovery progresses. There are some Medicare Part C programs, also known as Medicare Advantage, that have also recently started to offer some coverage for in-home care. Requirements vary by the company you purchased coverage from. The Veteran’s Aid and Attendance Benefit Program can also help pay for these services. -Do you do PT or OT? How do they differ? With Home Health, Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) have two different aims. Physical Therapy treats or improves an impairment. Occupational Therapy teaches you how to function with a limitation. So, PT strengthens an injury and OT helps you learn how to use it in everyday life. If approved under Medicare for a medically necessary reason at your home, a licensed therapist will provide therapy sessions. Home Care can help on all the days therapists aren’t there, by helping to take notes about your homework exercises and making sure you complete them. How diligent you are about carrying out your therapy plans determines your success. We’re here to help, with proactive attention to detail by a team that has compassion, depth and skill. For a free consultation please call Home Helpers of North Atlanta at (678) 430-8511.

Take action against strokes: steps to lower your risk Brought to you by - Wellstar A stroke can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time. In fact, every four minutes someone in the United States experiences a stroke, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). During Stroke Awareness Month this May, Wellstar health experts are spreading the word about how Georgians can stay ahead of these life-threatening medical events. With the largest Joint Commission stroke-certified network in Georgia, Wellstar is dedicated to treating strokes faster and more effectively. That includes offering the most advanced stroke care at Wellstar North Fulton Hospital and Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. “When a patient is having a stroke, time is brainpower, and the more treatment is delayed, the more damage that occurs,” said Wellstar Neurosurgeon Dr. Arthur Grigorian. “Having care close to home saves those minutes that could be all the difference in recovery.” Wellstar keeps life-saving stroke care accessible and convenient, so patients can get treated quickly. “In Atlanta where it takes so very long to drive between facilities because traffic is so bad, having a top-of-the-line place in your own backyard makes all the difference,” said Wellstar Neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Zussman. But while we’re always ready to jump into action with life-saving treatments, stopping a stroke starts with you. Do your part to lower the risk of a stroke and learn the warning signs that may help save a life. Know the risk factors for stroke Strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain
becomes blocked or bursts, which can lead to lasting damage or even death. Many common risk factors that increase your chance of a stroke – such as age, gender, race and family medical history – can’t be changed. However, there are several key risk factors that are within your control, including: Treating high blood pressure. Hypertension is the number one controllable risk factor for strokes, according to the American Stroke Association. Managing diabetes. Whether you have Type 1 or 2 diabetes, it’s important to treat your condition and keep your blood sugar under control to help minimize your risk of a stroke. Prioritizing physical activity. Moving more and sitting less can help lower your risk of a stroke and keep you feeling your best. Quitting smoking. Firsthand and secondhand exposure can not only wreak havoc on your cardiovascular system, but also increase your chance of a stroke. Maintaining a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese can increase your likelihood of a stroke or developing chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Living a healthy lifestyle is one of the major ways you can lower your risk of stroke. Even small changes in your daily routine can add up and keep you as healthy as possible. Early action saves lives Knowing the warning signs of a stroke may help you save a life. Remember to BE FAST and get help immediately if you notice the symptoms below. Balance – Look for sudden loss of balance or coor-

dination. Symptoms can also include a sudden, severe headache or dizziness. Eyes – Ask if the person is having trouble seeing out of one or both eyes. This can also consist of blurred vision, double vision or loss of vision. Face – See if one side of the face is drooping or feeling numb. Check if the person’s smile appears uneven or lopsided. Arms – Watch for sudden arm weakness or numbness. See if the person can raise both arms without one drifting downward. Speech – Listen for slurred speech or difficulty speaking. You can have the person repeat a simple sentence to check their speech abilities. Time – Time is brain. Waiting to get care leads to lasting, irreversible brain damage. If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t delay – call 911 right away. For more information, visit wellstar.org/neurocare or call (770) 956-STAR (7827).

OPINION
Take a wildflower watching walk Springtime means fishing time, and you’ll find me on the water as often as I can get there. Usually, spring fishing is good. But some days they just aren’t biting. STEVE HUDSON That’s how it was Get Outside Georgia, the other day. I was aa4bw@comcast.net fishing for bass in Little River, a tributary to Allatoona Lake, but the fish were having none of it. So I’d admitted defeat and had decided, instead, to simply enjoy an afternoon of hiking. The trail was level for a while, but then it took me up a steep slope. At the top I stopped for a moment to catch my breath. And that’s when I saw them: a half dozen splashes of bright purple just inches from my feet. It was a little patch of wildflowers – and it was a reminder that wildflower season is here again. Not being a flower expert, I had no idea what I was seeing. So I pulled the trusty phone out of my day pack and snapped a few pictures. Then, as I often do when hiking, I sent one of the photos to my daughter. She’s a plant person, and I figured if anyone could identify what I’d found, then she could. Pretty soon, the phone dinged to alert me to an incoming text – and sure enough, she had identified the flowers as “dwarf crested iris.” Now I have no idea whether the dwarf crested iris is particularly unusual or otherwise noteworthy, but I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s a spectacular flower. And I had found it! Like discovering a new secret fishing
spot, spotting new wildflowers turns out to be a heady thing. It just might be as addictive as fishing. On that day, what else did I find? Well, there were bright yellow “creeping buttercups.” There were some purple ones called the “common vetch.” One I especially liked had fringed white petals and a bright yellow center – I believe it’s called “prairie fleabane.” Now lest you be impressed by my far-ranging knowledge of things botanical, let me confess that I had help from technology. It turns out that there are various apps for your phone that’ll help you identify wildflowers. Search for “Georgia wildflowers identification” or even just “wildflower ID,” and you’ll find a bunch of them. For some, in fact, all you have to do is upload a photo. That’s kind of neat. In fact, it occurs to me that an interactive wildflower ID app might be a good way to pique young folks’ interest in the
out-of-doors. I’ve learned long ago that where kids are concerned, it’s hard for the outdoor world to complete with the strong, strong lure of technology. But a wildflower ID app challenges kids to put that phone to work in the field – and you might be surprised how that plays out. There are also more traditional guides to wildflowers, too, and (even with the power of technology tucked away in my daypack) I want a traditional Georgia wildflower field guide to carry with me as I hike. Any suggestions from our more experienced wildflower watchers? This is all new to me, and recommendations are welcome. Please let me know what you recommend. What about the “where” of wildflower watching? When I spotted those little iris blooms, I was hiking at Olde Rope Mill Park near Woodstock. Other close-by favorites for finding wildflowers turn out to be the trails of the Jones Bridge, Gold Branch and Johnson Ferry North Units
of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, the trails of Birmingham Park in Milton, and the trails at Kennesaw Mountain. Many parks and nature centers host guided wildflower walks, too, so there’s yet another possibility for you to enjoy. But remember that wildflowers, being wild, can be anywhere. You can even look in your own back yard. Ours seems to be a sanctuary for wild violets. While I know they’re considered to be weeds, they sure are pretty to look at. Besides, if I am admiring them, I don’t have to worry about pulling them. That’s another plus to the wildflower watching game! The next few weeks should be great ones for spotting these hidden gems of color. Keep your eyes open as you hike this spring. It’s a great deal of fun, and there’s no telling what you might see. There are many great wildflower viewing opportunities to be found close to home in the units of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, and Steve Hudson’s book HIKING THE HOOCH will give you detailed info on the many hiking trails awaiting you there. It’s available from Amazon, and signed copies are available from the author at flykits.net.
Does Your Child Get Anxious When Going to the Dentist? Don’t worry. I’m 41 years old, my wife is my dentist, and I get scared too. After 15 year of experience, I have a firm belief that any child (or adult!) can love going to the dentist if given enough time to build trust and gain confidence.

He graduated from Park Ridge High MORRISEY School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

He polished up his tax preparation skills each year to assist seniors with their taxes, and he always had a front row seat at the sporting events and activities of his daughters and grandchildren. Gifted with a wonderful sense of humor and a patient listener, Mike was a trusted advisor and mentor to many. Most of all, Mike was a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle
and friend. Mike is survived by his daughters Jill Morrisey and Bonnie Bryson, son-in-law Chris Bryson, grandchildren Will and Caroline Bryson, all of Sandy Springs, and his brother Dennis Morrisey and niece Diane Hamlen of Massachusetts.
