Police Department announces enforcement detail results

By Adam Darby adam@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody Police Department conducted an enforcement detail during the week of April 29 in an effort to increase road safety for residents. The detail concentrated on the issues of distracted driving and pedestrian traffic safety, particularly on street crosswalks.

Although the police department has been conducting enforcement details for years in order to “change driver behaviors and improve safety,” the increase in distracted driving and its effect on pedestrians has caught the attention of officers in particular.

Distracted driving is cited as one of the leading causes of traffic fatalities nationwide.

“Distracted driving and pedestrian crashes often go hand-in-hand,” said Sgt. Robert Parsons. “Even with the new hands-free laws in place, we still see distracted driving violations on a regular basis.

Pedestrian crossings can be places with an increased chance of a serious crash, as distracted drivers are encountering pedestrians. We also frequently receive complaints from pedestrians that drivers are not yielding to them in crosswalks.”

The correlation between distracted driving and pedestrian crashes continues to

prove problematic as the numbers increase. A total of 32 citations and two arrests were made throughout the week for hands-free and seatbelt violations in addition to drivers failing to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. The first arrest involved an unlicensed driver, and the second was for the possession of LSD. “We are satisfied [with the results], but we will certainly continue to conduct these enforcement efforts and attempt to increase awareness surrounding this important roadway safety topic,” Parsons said. “Drivers have a duty to

a bit in 1969. The opening of I-285 would be followed by many changes. One of those changes was the construction of Perimeter Mall two years later. Lenox Square was still an open-air shopping center in 1969, featuring Kresge’s, Davison’s, and Rich’s. Lester Maddox was Governor of Georgia and Ivan Allen was Mayor of Atlanta.

Northside Hospital was under construction in 1969. St. Joseph’s Hospital was located downtown and the groundbreaking for the Peachtree Dunwoody Road location was still six years away. Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital would move to the area in 1976.

The Braves had a great year in 1969, winning the National League West division with

players such as Hank Aaron, Phil Niekro, Clete Boyer and Orlando Cepeda. Atlanta had a professional soccer team-the Atlanta Chiefs.

I was living in Doraville in 1969. Since DeKalb County didn’t have middle schools at the time, I was in seventh grade at Pleasantdale Elementary School. The following year, I would move to Henderson High School. A major change to the dress code when I was in eighth grade was allowing girls to wear pants to school.

Perhaps not a monumental change, unless you were a 13year old girl.

The space program was great for DeKalb County students at the time because any event during the school year meant a black and white television was rolled into our classroom so we could watch it live. Everyone loved getting to watch television over the usual schoolwork.

In 1969, Bill Todd and his family had lived in Cambridge Estates for two years. He has great memories from that time.

Dunwoody still had many dirt roads which he enjoyed riding his Honda Z50 Mini Trail Bike on, as well as dirt trails along the side of roads. On the weekends, he would ride on Ga. 400 while it was still under construction. He often went to his friend Billy Spruill’s home which sat where Publix is today. Across the road was a large field with railroad ties piled up. Dunwoody Village didn’t exist yet. The three railroad section houses (only one remains today) were occasionally empty, and he and his friends would explore inside.

Steve Griffeth remembers the Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Road intersection, including

His family came to Dunwoody in 1961 and built a kit home on Chamblee Dunwoody Road just south of Dunwoody Elementary School. They went to Sandy Springs to buy groceries until Georgetown Shopping Center, including Big Apple Grocery Store, was constructed in the 1960s. He rode around Dunwoody on his bicycle and explored old barns with his friends. There were still a lot of barns back then.

Another one of Steve’s memories is going to the drive-in theater on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard across from Chamblee Plaza.

If you were in the Atlanta area in 1969, perhaps you remember the first “Great Chattahoochee River Raft Race,” also sometimes referred to as the “Ramblin’ Raft Race,” or “Woodstock on the Water.”

The annual river raft race continued until 1980.

Music can take you back to a certain year and the Billboard hit songs of 1969 included “Sugar, Sugar” by the Archies, “Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In” by the Fifth Dimension and “I Can’t Get Next to You” by the Temptations. “Dizzy” by Tommy Roe came in at number 6 and was produced by Bill Lowery at his recording studio in Brookhaven.

Police arrest man wanted on warrant DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police investigated three men they found loitering outside of a business building on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard May 1.

As police arrived, the three began to walk away, but they were confronted and asked for their identification. One of the men was found with a black plastic bag containing an open beer and was cited for drinking in public.

None of the three had their identification but gave the officer their names and dates of birth. Once a check was conducted on the information, two of the men were released on their way. The last man was confirmed to have provided false identification. The officer then discovered a warrant for failure to appear. Once the warrant was confirmed, the man was cited for false rep-

Family dispute erupts on drive to church DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police responded May 1 to an incident of a domestic dispute between a mother and her daughter while driving in heavy traffic near Perimeter Center East.

The mother reported that her daughter has previously attempted to run away during arguments and that this particular incident was one of the times the dispute became physical.

The two involved were on their way to church when an argument erupted over a matter concerning the daughter’s biological father. During the argument, the daughter attempted to jump out of the passenger seat of the vehicle while in motion. The mother then grabbed her daughter by her book bag to keep her in the vehicle, but the daughter managed to kick her way free and leave the vehicle.

Both women sustained mild injuries to their forearms.

The mother reported that the

daughter had shown signs of aggressive behavior in the past.

Police investigate report of fraudulent purchases DUNWOODY, Ga. — An incident of identity fraud was reported May 3 after a man reported repeated fraudulent charges on his credit card. The first purchase was for a television at Walmart on Ashford Dunwoody Road. He was notified of the initial purchase April 16 for a total of $138.

The victim then spoke with his credit card company and received a new card.

The victim then advised the officer that he had received a package in the mail May 2 shipped to his address but with a different name. Around this time, he also received a pre-paid style card from Walmart and notification of a credit card denial from Macy’s, where the suspect attempted to open an account using the victim’s name.

Another package containing a cook book was then shipped to the victim’s address May 3 using the same false recipient name but also showing the order came from a person believed to be the real person be-

hind the fraud. The victim also found an unfamiliar address linked to his credit history.

Mall shopper reports case of sexual assault DUNWOODY, Ga. — A woman reported a sexual assault May 3 while she was shopping at Perimeter Mall. As the victim was walking on the ground floor, a male suspect grabbed her as she walked by.

The man was described as in his 20s with a slender build and low haircut wearing a gray jumpsuit, black singletons and small black head phones. He was last seen approaching the food court.

The reporting officer notified mall security to check the surveillance cameras. Authorities were unable to locate the suspect.

make sure they are yielding when required, and pedestrians also have a duty to make sure they are crossing the roadway appropriately. The automobile will always win when confronted with a pedestrian, so pedestrians should make sure that approaching vehicles are going to stop before stepping out onto the road. If we can reduce distracted driving while also increasing pedestrian awareness, our roadways are going to be much safer for everyone.”

Dunwoody police will continue to hold enforcement details on a week-by-week basis to improve road and traffic conditions for pedestrians. For more information about distracted driving and crosswalk safety, visit dunwoodyga.gov.

Groups partner to promote skin cancer safety measures DUNWOODY, Ga. — IMPACT Melanoma, a national non-profit organization dedicated to reducing the incidence of melanoma, is partnering with Northside Hospital and the Dunwoody Nature Center to install sunscreen dispensers throughout the nature center’s grounds and work on skincare awareness initiatives with summer campers. The dispensers and educational services are a working piece of IMPACT’s Practice Safe Skin program which is geared toward skin cancer awareness through engaging activities and applicable preventative tools, such as their

automatic sunscreen dispensing units.

Through a grant from Northside Hospital, IMPACT is able to install three sunscreen dispensers and initiate a skincare and wellness program that includes distribution of fun, explorative educational CampKits to more than 900 summer camp attendees throughout Dunwoody Nature Center. The launch of this initiative commenced with a celebratory event at the nature center on May 4.

“More skin cancers are diagnosed in the United States each year than all other cancers

combined. Wearing sunscreen is one of the simplest things we can do to protect our skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays,” said Juliet Weaver, program manager Melanoma & Sarcoma at Northside Hospital Cancer Institute. “Northside Hospital is honored to partner with the Dunwoody Nature Center and IMPACT Melanoma to raise awareness of the importance of sun safety so that we all can enjoy being outside — cancer free.”

“The Dunwoody Nature Center is proud to partner with Impact Melanoma by providing free sunscreen to our visitors,” said Michael Cowan, executive director of Dunwoody Nature Center. “The sunscreen dispensers placed throughout the park will increase awareness of the importance of sun safety and help develop good habits that will reduce the prevalence of skin cancer. Special thanks to Northside Hospital for the generous grant that makes this partnership possible.”

The launch event featured a skin cancer awareness and sun safety presentation from a Northside Hospital physician assistant, which included demonstrations of the dispensers as well as an assortment of kid-

The right course is out there “And you know something’s happening But you don’t know what it is Do you, Mr. Jones” – Ballad of a Thin Man, Bob Dylan, recorded August 2, 1965

For years and often with startling prescience, Bob Dylan wrote songs about what Mr. Jones did not know, understand, or see coming. Mr. Jones, of course, is us — you and me.

Facebook is now blocking seven high-profile individuals who it says violate its policy concerning “dangerous individuals and organizations.” Never mind, for the sake of this column, who the individuals are or what their organizations stand for or advocate. Nor is the point that an even higher profile individual who is also abusing social media and arguably causing far greater damage, is not being blocked.

The point is that the speed at which we are approaching a paradigm-shifting rupture in our society seems to be accelerating as we approach something along the lines of a socio-tech-info Chernobyl-like meltdown. That is, the incompatibility of an open and unencumbered internet and “governance” by any country seems to be approaching the breaking point.

Technology has evolved at a far greater rate of speed than has our ability as a society to adapt to and manage it, and the gap is growing. At least it feels like that to me.

Books, bookshops and library sales I finally got around to a few books on my To Be Read list and one was “The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend.”

A bookshop is a central feature, almost a character, in this delightful book set in Broken Wheel, Iowa. The back cover blurb captures it well: “A heartwarming reminder of why we are booklovers, this is a sweet, smart story about how books find us, change us, and connect us.”

Booklovers will get a kick out of the references to books and authors and be thankful for the lists in the back of the book. I was reading about one of the characters being taken with Idgie and was tickled that I finally recalled that Idgie was a character in “Fried Green Tomatoes.”

That book prompted me to think, “Gee, I think there are other books I’ve read that take place in bookshops,” and I was right. There were a few whose titles I couldn’t recall, but I’ve

come up with most of them.

Years ago, I read the Carolyn Hart mysteries that take place in and around the Death on Demand bookshop on Broward’s Rock, a South Carolina island. I likely read the first five or six and enjoyed all the references to books and authors. I wasn’t surprised to learn there are 26 in the series, and I may have to get back to them.

You don’t have to be a Jane Austen fan to enjoy Charlie Lovett’s “First Impressions,” a tale of a previously unknown Austen manuscript. The heroine is recently graduated from

Oxford and works in an antiquarian bookshop in London.

Since I just last year took a trip to England and visited Oxford, I especially enjoyed recognizing the Oxford references.

I discovered John Dunning’s series of books featuring bookshop owner and former Denver police officer Cliff Janeway when my sister passed along “Booked to Die,” the first in the series. Now I know there are four more in the series, so they’re going on my TBR list.

I’ve mentioned Nina George’s book, “The Little Paris Bookshop,” in a previous column, but this whimsical story of a bookshop housed on a boat belongs on this list as well. Wouldn’t you love to visit a floating bookshop?

Also on my TBR list was “The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry,” about the owner of Island Books on the imaginary Alice Island located somewhere near Boston. It was a delight.

We don’t have a quirky independent bookshop in Dunwoody or Sandy Springs, but we do have the Friends of the Dunwoody Library Sale May 16-18 and 20. You’ll find an estimated 25,000 well-sorted items, most priced from 25 cents to $2. If you don’t stumble across any of the books I’ve mentioned, you’re bound to find others to your liking — and if you’re anything like me, you’ll find a whole bagful.

Happy shopping!

Another book I’d been looking forward to reading was “The Diary of a Bookseller,” a Christmas gift from a friend who knows me oh-so-well.

This one is nonfiction, written

by Shaun Bythell, who owns The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland. Described as “a wry and hilarious account of life at a bookshop in a remote Scottish village,” it’s a behind the scenes look at the life of a bookseller, and I couldn’t put it down.

To all the young men and women who are graduating high school this week — congratulations for a job well done. This is the first step of your life which will lead to you becoming an individual on your own.

some basic life principles: Work hard — There is nothing in life more rewarding or more self-satisfying than hard work. Roll up your sleeves and burn your youthful hours in any endeavor you fatefully stumble on.

Be Honest — There will be multiple life situations coming up which will test your moral fortitude. You will be tempted with short-term financial or personal gains to cut corners, be deceptive, or participate in something less than honorable.

Don’t do it! The person that you have to look at every morning in the mirror will know exactly what you’ve done and you will never have true peace.

Marry well — This, by far, is the biggest decision you will make. Life is a rough and tough experience with many high highs and low lows. Having a rock solid companion to support you when you’re down and keep you grounded when you’re up is critical. Choosing the wrong person makes life 10 times harder. Choosing the right person makes life 10

times easier. I don’t want to mislead you here and imply a good marriage is easy, it’s not.

It takes work, commitment and patience. But, sharing life with the right person is bliss.

Smell the roses — God gave us the abundance of life and all of its beauty and majesty. Explore it fully and look at every single square inch on your way — it is amazing. You have been given five senses: touch, hearing, seeing, smelling and tasting. Each and every day starts with a cornucopia of unlimited fulfillment of these senses. It is life’s most precious gift and the one you should embrace and be most grateful.

Understand failure — This is difficult to explain, but I define it as not achieving your immediate goals. But remember, your immediate goals are only what you want at a particular time in your life. I learned a long time ago that some of the goals that I strongly coveted and achieved, turned out to be detrimental to me. Conversely, some of the goals that I failed at pushed me in an unintended direction which turned out to be the best for me. While this did not slow me down in setting big goals and working

hard to achieve them, I gained appreciation for the results of my efforts either way. Failure doesn’t bother me because it could end up being great. I don’t glory in success because I’m not sure where it could eventually lead. My advice is to work really hard and accept what comes your way.

So, for the class of 2019, congratulations again! I can tell you firsthand from a man who has enjoyed a great life that the most fun is the first 20 years from high school graduation to the age of 40. During this time, you’re going to start your careers or go to college, probably find a mate and marry, start a family and build a home of your own. Along the way you will find many great friends to share the abundance of this life’s experience. Keep your family close — you’re going to need them. God bless!

Challenge yourself to learn new things on a regular basis As a small business owner, do you take time to learn new things that could help you better run and grow your small business? Do you allocate enough time in your schedule to expand your knowledge in areas that you are unfamiliar?

Setting a goal to learn new things each month will allow you to improve your skills and knowledge, which will in turn

help you to manage and operate your business more effectively.

The easiest way to learn something new every month is to have a list of new things you want to learn about. Taking the time to create a list will get you thinking about the things you’ve always wanted to know more about but never got done. Learning something new every month doesn’t have to take a lot of time. Some

new things could take days to learn and others just minutes.

The main point in challenging yourself to learn something new each month is it will keep you focused on learning new things and make you accountable. Small business owners who have adopted this concept find that their skills and abilities improve without having a significant impact on their time.

Learning something new doesn’t have to be “tied” to business-related topics. It could be for your personal life such as “do-it-yourself” projects around the house.

Try to learn something new every month, and you’ll be surprised how much this will help you and your business.

eral years ago. You are named as the primary decision-maker on your mom’s powers of attorney for assets and health care and the executor under her will.

Mom is in the latter stages of Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS. She is in the hospital with a severe case of pneumonia, sedated and not in pain. Her doctor says they can administer drugs and try to cure the pneumonia. If she recovers from pneumonia, she still will suffer from the excruciating end stages of ALS. If they don’t intervene, she will die painlessly from the pneumonia within a short time. Is it moral to withhold antibiotics and other drugs and let her die peacefully?

Or consider another situation. Again, you are the decision-maker, the sole designee under your mother’s power of attorney. Mom, a widow, suffers from various ills plus terminal dementia and is in a nursing home. She no longer recognizes her children or grandchildren and has no “quality of life,” insists her son, your brother.

She is not covered by Medicaid and doesn’t have long-term care insurance. Mom gave you her power of attorney because your brother has lived a life

marked by lavish spending and irresponsibility. You and mom have been disappointed by his choices.

Your brother is married and is on the verge of losing his home and needs money. He’s pressing to have mom’s medication terminated since her estate is rapidly being depleted.

He’s counting on an inheritance to bail him out and threatening legal action. You love your mom and your brother’s family.

You care for him, too, despite his frustrating ways. What to do? What is moral and ethical?

What would your mother want?

These examples are fictional but based on real life moral and ethical dilemmas people face.

We use examples of widows since roughly 80 percent of men predecease their wives.

But men need testamentary and living estate planning. Guys, don’t assume that your spouse or other loved ones know what you want or have the resources to deal with a crisis.

Everyone has a “go-to” person in their life who may at some time be called on to make difficult decisions in their behalf if they cannot. Gutwrenching anxiety is only one of myriad problems if you were tapped by default to make decisions because no advanced preparations were in place. The person is totally incapacitated, and there’s no power of attorney for assets or health care, no advanced directive, no POLST order — Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment.

You are dealing with lawyers and courts and in the difficult position of trying to figure out what the person really would have wanted. No matter what you decide, someone, a family member or other loved one, may question, even resent, the decisions you make. The same thing happens when a loved one

dies without a will (or a trust, if appropriate) and you are tasked with decision-making and asset disposition. Resentment and ill feelings often are a byproduct of foisted responsibility. Family fights are a sad legacy.

If you don’t know what the aforementioned legal documents are, or if you have them but have not reviewed them in some time or don’t recall what they say, or they are old and potentially obsolete or invalid, you have an immediate to-do —take care if it! Experienced life transitions and financial advisers (“thinking partners”) are in a position to help you identify issues to discuss with loved ones and legal and tax counsel. A trusted financial planner cannot give you legal advice but can help frame issues for discussion with legal counsel. Having a clear idea of what you want (along with your spouse, business or other partner, other key persons) and having all documents and other items germane to the discussion pulled together and organized can save time and money when dealing with legal and tax counsel.

Happiness and peace of mind is knowing that you will not blindside a loved one at a time of difficulty, stress and sadness.

St. Pius X adds more collegiate sports signings

By Luke Winstel St. Pius X Catholic High School celebrated nine more athletes who signed this month to play in college. In the Class of 2019, a total of 24 athletes from the school have now signed to compete at the next level.

St. Pius football tight end Chris Miller flipped his commitment from Kennesaw State to Georgia Tech a week before the signing day ceremony. Miller led the football team in receptions and receiving yards a season ago. He chose to sign under first-year Georgia Tech head coach Geoff Collins, who impressed Miller on his visit.

“I remember looking at coach Collins after practice,” Miller said. “He was talking to the team and he was letting them know what’s up and how he’s going to run his team. I was impressed by the facilities and how everyone carried themselves around. They were all down to work and wanted to get that offense down because they want to show everybody what Georgia Tech football looks like in the coming fall.”

Offensive guard, Steven Hudson signed to play football at Berry College because he said he loved the family nature of the program, the facilities and the atmosphere of the campus. He chose Berry College over Ave Maria University, Centre College and Birmingham Southern University and said he thinks

his physicality in the trenches will translate well when he goes on to play at the next level.

In basketball, four-year starting point guard Matthew Gonzalo signed with Washington University in St. Louis.

“When I visited, I felt like I was at a D1 school,” Gonzalo said. “There were cold tubs, underwater treadmills, the whole athletic department was really nice, and I loved the gym, too.” Gonzalo, the St. Pius all-time assist leader, was a member of the winningest class in school history.

“I think they’ll remember a good legacy,” Gonzalo said. “That shows with

the amount of support we got throughout these four years. The coaches told me that before we came, there weren’t huge crowds or a ton of support for the basketball program, but we brought that to the school and that’s been good.”

Riley Costas chose signed for basketball with Berry College. In his time at St. Pius, he was known for the energy and leadership he brought to the team on a consistent basis. Costas is looking forward to playing for head coach Mitch Cole because, “He has a very calm demeanor, which is good for me because I like to be emotional when I play. Having that calm presence will help me calm

myself sometimes.”

Berry College plays in the Southern Athletic Association. Costas will now play in the same conference as former St. Pius teammate Troy Stephens, who currently plays for Birmingham Southern University.

The other athletes signing were lacrosse player Anthony Tiberia (University of Mary Washington), lacrosse player Emmett Branford (University of Montevallo), swimmer Blake Reynolds (Monmouth University), baseball player Michael Spear (Chattanooga State University), and Luke Griffin in tennis (LaGrange College).

A successful maiden voyage 2019 Genesis G70 It will likely take a few more years before John Q. Public has realized that Genesis is now its own division. I know because seemingly everyone I spoke to during my week with the Genesis referred to it as a model from Hyundai, not a separate luxury division of the South Korean automaker.

And I certainly did field a lot of questions about the G70, Genesis’ first midsize sport sedan.

No other model has garnered so much interest in the parking lot of Appen Media Group as the G70. And these aren’t really car people, mind you. Most would think a Daihatsu is a type of sashimi.

People just seem inherently drawn to this car, and it’s easy to understand why with just a quick glance. This is a stunning looking sedan.

The G70 combines sleek

lines, engaging curves and eyecatching shapes for styling that is simultaneously handsome with just a hint of aggression.

The interior is just as appealing with upscale materials and attractive styling. Opting for the Sport Package ($1,000) enhances the interior and exterior look with 19-inch alloys, copper headlight bezel accents, dark chrome grille, tinted taillight covers, alloy pedals and fantastic, quilted Nappa leather seats.

The infotainment screen sticks out a bit like a sore

thumb, and it was clearly plucked from lower Hyundai models, but otherwise the G70 certainly ticks the box of a luxury presence.

It also earns high marks in the performance category.

The Genesis is offered either with a 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 or the 2-liter turbo four. While critics have sung the praises of the V6 at length, I still enjoyed the four-cylinder that offers 252

horsepower.

The turbocharged 2-liter needs a moment to fully engage, but once it does, the G70 keeps pulling and pulling with hardly any interruption from the 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters (a manual is also available). The engine does not make a particularly good noise, its more of a muted buzz, but its quiet and mellow around town.

While the 2-liter comes with over 100 fewer horsepower than the V6, the Genesis still hits the mark on sporty performance.

Give the G70 some corners and it will slice them with aplomb with responsive steering and informative feedback.

My tester came with the Dynamic Package ($1,000) which adds Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires and a limited-slip differential. The Genesis’ was unruffled through quick switchbacks, sharp elevation changes and sweeping corners.

When the travels go from switchbacks to supermarket runs, the G70 has a supple, refined ride quality that irons out potholes and uneven tarmac.

While traditional comfort and sport modes are available, drivers can also tailor their preferences in custom mode.

Those in the front seats of the G70 are well accommodated, but the rear is a bit tight where legroom and headroom

St. Pius X girls soccer advances to Final Four

By Luke Winstel Last Tuesday night in the quarterfinal game of the GHSA AAAA state playoffs, the topranked St. Pius X girls’ soccer team won by mercy-rule over Northside (Columbus) 10-0 in 43 minutes. Freshman Emmy Glenn recorded one of the fastest hat tricks in school history, with three goals in the first 5:10 of play. Sophomore and Clemson commit Renee Lyles also

recorded a hat trick.

“I thought the team looked sharp and fluid,” coach Sara Schmitt said. “We started the game off strong and were able to put away chances. Everyone got in the game and it was a total team win.”

One of the keys to the Golden Lions’ playoff run has been the team’s lockdown defense. Starting goalkeeper Eve Beyer led St. Pius to their ninth consecutive shutout, as the

team has not conceded a goal since March 20th.

St. Pius has dominated the competition in their first three playoff games, outscoring their opponents 24-0. St. Pius will square off at home in the semifinal game this week against the No. 5 team in AAAA, Blessed Trinity. A win would send the Golden Lions to their seventh consecutive state championship game.

Holy Innocents’ junior Jada Farrell wins state in shot put

By Dunn Neugebauer For the Crier

After helping her team to a state basketball crown just over two months ago, Holy Innocents’ junior Jada Farrell did it again — this time at the Class A-Private state track meet in the shot put.

Jada had her personal best throw of 41.11 in the finals, catapulting her once again to the top rung of the podium. She placed second last year in the same event, throwing 38.6.

“She always rises to and above the level of competition; that’s what champions do,” coach Joseph Thomas said.

“She had her best throw last year here at state.”

No stranger to climbing the podium, Jada said she didn’t let nerves get the best of her when stepping into the ring last Friday. “I was relaxed,” she said.

“I knew if I just believed in what I was taught, I’d be fine.”

Later in the day, she took fourth in the discus.

Jada is a three-year varsity performer on the basketball squad, where she remains among the top of the stat charts in points and rebounds while being a force on the defensive end as well.

Others who performed well at state included Hayden Puett (5th in the 3200), Brandon Sertl (9th in the 3,200), Jackie Addy (2nd in 800, 3rd in the 1,600), William Welden (10th in the 1,600), and Ansley Diaz (5th in discus).

Diaz’s placing in the discus was a Cinderella story. The junior made it out of the region by

the skin of her teeth — an inch to be exact. She was seeded 16th out of 16 at state, with a goal going in to “not to finish last.”

In making it to the final nine and finishing fifth, she threw a personal best by more than 16 feet with a 99-1.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as well last week in both girls’ lacrosse and girls’ soccer, as both teams were eliminated from the state playoffs. The lax squad made it to the Sweet 16 but fell 22-7 on the road to Starr’s Mill last Monday.

Annie Parker led the team with five goals; Kate Waters put in the other two.

Players graduating include Waters, Emma Forrestal, Abigail Pagano, Ellie Sager, Annie Sager, Kamryn Harley, Delaney Miller, Caroline Hereford, and Brooke Lindner.

In soccer, coach Clayton Schmitt & Company lost in the Final Four last Tuesday at Wesleyan 3-0.

“It was a tough game,” Schmitt said. “Three of their five shots went in and, as for us, we had all kinds of chances but couldn’t put it in the back of the net.”

Schmitt will graduate two — Shea Fleming and Emily Grasing — who have two Final Fours and 51 total wins in their four years on the field.

Looking ahead, state golf is slated this week in Columbus. The HI boys go in as area winners and defending state champs, while the girls took second in area three weeks ago and were fourth in Georgia last season.

Preparing for greatness!

Every tale of adventure is the expression of a hero’s battle against overwhelming odds — a drama of the oppositional forces to the achievement of a worthy goal. Sometimes it’s dragons, sometimes it’s an evil empire, but it’s always...difficult.

That is every tale, except this one....In this story, the glass ceiling is shattered (or simply becomes obsolete), and the oppressor becomes an ally. Also, the heroes, (except for one) are all heroines!

Women who can face life as realists with the courage of dreamers. Think of this, if you’re not intimidated by the seemingly insurmountable forces around you, whatever they are, you operate in the absence of fear. FEAR is the most disabling of all emotions and frequently negates all creative thinking.

For many years the various advantages of participating in competitive sports was limited to the world of men. So, the experience of overcoming the obstacles that invariably exist

IN THE INTEREST OF OTHERS

Lee Chadwick Guest contributor

in the repetitive situations presented in all team sports was not a normal part of a woman’s experience. Which challenges require just hard work? When does the team need a more informed strategy to win? Most importantly, girls learn when to rely on insight, which may mean appreciating and optimizing the skills of another player.

Enter PEAK, the Performance Sports and Development Foundation. An honorable source of dependable leadership, PEAK is a 501(c)(3) which began in 2005 as an elite basketball summer camp. It has grown to be so much more than that.

NORTH ATLANTA’S HOT TOPICS ON PODCAST

PEAK has served 1,100 girls from 75 public and private schools in the 13 years the program has existed.

Girls from public and private schools participate in a competitive basketball league, but they also engage in aggressive academic support, leadership training, and highly varied community service projects.

The idea is to address the total child — teaching them to grow their own capabilities and their judgement. This lowers the power of “peer pressure” among adolescents and the need to take foolish risks to “fit in.” Self-esteem is the antidote to acting out. When you respect yourself, it’s easy to exhibit respect for others.

Now for the stats PEAK has served 1,100 girls from 75 public and private schools in the 13 years the program has existed. Of 134 participants from 2011 to 2018, 108 girls have signed to participate as NCAA athletes in more than 50 different col-

Safety-conscious consumers will likely appreciate the G70’s standard safety features which include forward collision avoidance, blind spot warning, lane-keep assist and Driver Attention Warning, a kind of silicon nanny that tells when its time to take a nap.

leges and universities! That is a staggering record of success! All, 100 percent, of these young women have enrolled in college with a total of $7 million awarded in scholarships, both academic and athletic. So far, participants have garnered 50 undergraduate degrees, six master’s degrees and four doctorates. One alumni, Kaitlyn Dinkins, has completed her MD at Emory after finishing her undergraduate studies at Harvard as the well-loved captain of the women’s basketball team.

So who is the hero? Bruce Price, executive director and tireless visionary. The designer of an unquestionably strong emotional fitness program, as well as a physically challenging one. Bruce has raised two daughters who have become outstanding women. He learned a lot about advocacy in the process.

“Acquiring a true understanding of herself through positive experience can allow a young woman to envision a reality fueled by imagination, but driven by confidence — confidence tested and 100 percent dependable. That is strength!” Arriving into adulthood without the need for extraneous approval is freedom… It is okay to enjoy pleasing others or being admired for being pretty; but not to view that as a prerequisite to success.

Imagine what might be possible at 16 if you have seen yourself overcome every barrier you ever encountered. Belief in yourself guarantees that you can accomplish anything when you have learned how to grow and give. The world would be a different place if we all had the strength to foster in ourselves the characteristics we admire in others.

Adding options can quickly balloon the G70’s price tag, but even my 2-liter tester, which came with all boxes ticked, came in at under $46,000.

A fully-loaded G70 with the V6 doesn’t go far beyond the $50,000 mark.

That might seem like a hefty price for what many people still consider a Hyundai, but remember, this is not some flunked attempt to create a midsize luxury sedan that emulates German manufacturers. The G70 is a fantastic and legitimate luxury midsized and a bonified player in the segment. It’s also the most af-

fordable.

With superb styling, a sporty and refined ride, plenty of tech and creature comforts, upscale materials and strong build quality, the G70 might just be cause for some trembling in German boots.

But maybe not for a few years.

Those who take their BMW to the country club might scoff at the prospect that a “Hyundai” is akin to their 3-series, and subjectively better, but those who give the G70 a closer look will be rewarded. Once they correctly identify the badge, that is.
