Ambulance response times still lag in Dunwoody

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com

DUNWOODY, Ga. — After reasserting standards for service six months ago, DeKalb County and Dunwoody remain plagued with emergency ambulance response times below contract requirements.

The issue comes to a head next month when county officials decide whether to switch providers when the current contract expires.

Last fall, Dunwoody signed

BLACK BOX special report a memorandum of understanding with DeKalb County stating that the county would station more ambulances in the city, including one at each fire station and a fourth ambulance that would remain in Dunwoody from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on weekdays. The agreement stated that AMR, the county’s current EMS provider, issue

Since the agreement went into effect at the end of October, AMR has failed to meet those

Austin Elementary to close in January

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Austin Elementary will close its doors to students come January, and the City of Dunwoody will decide the fate of the property on Roberts Drive, according to Mayor Denis Shortal.

The mayor made the announcement May 20 before the City Council, adding that earlier doubt about whether the school district wanted to hang onto the property has been settled.

“It is now a dead issue and we will go forward with our plans for that property,” Shortal said, adding that future plans will be developed

through open discussions with citizens.

The closing comes as a new Austin Elementary School that seats 900 students will open about a half mile away in January.

The school district arranged an agreement with the city in 2016 to lease the property for classes at a rate of $63,100 a month so that classes could continue while construction on the new property continues.

The school had been using portable classrooms to relieve overcrowding, and the district has needed greater capacity for elementary school students for years. Once the new Austin Elementary opens, the district collectively will be more

than 500 seats over capacity, a statement from DeKalb Schools said.

To further relieve the district’s overcrowded schools, a general obligation bond is expected to be proposed formally at the next Board of Education meeting in June, as suggested

by DeKalb Schools Superin-

tendent Stephen Green in a community meeting in March.

The money from the bond could fund construction of another elementary school in the Dunwoody or Chamblee area.

The old Austin Elementary school will remain in use for the first semester of the 20192020 school year.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody is set to become the fourth city in Georgia to pass an anti-discrimination ordinance, following Chamblee and Doraville nearby.

The ordinance, proposed at the May 20 City Council meeting, would specifically protect civil rights in cases with an employer, involving housing and accommodations, the sale of property and engaging with any business regardless of “person’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ances-

Developer proposes new Perimeter area shopping center, new road

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Branch Properties has announced plans to build a new shopping center with a new public road and pedestrian and bike paths near Perimeter Center.

The development would be created by paving over the pond near Ashford Dunwoody Road and Ashwood Parkway, a site that currently contains a

P.F. Chang’s and two other restaurants which have gone out of business.

The development would be anchored by a major grocer and include a gas station, bank, five buildings containing a combination of retail stores and restaurants and a small turf area.

New bike and pedestrian paths would surround the shopping center.

Branch also plans to build a road cutting through the

shopping center and connecting Ashwood Parkway with Meadow Lane.

Most of the 700 feet of walkways would be planned to preserve existing trees and provide an alternative to driving for the nearby subdivisions. The walkways would create a 5-footwide walking path sloping up to a 10-foot-wide biking trail, which would have an 8-foot buffer running up the road. The shopping center would sit about 8 feet below the road on the Ashford Dunwoody side.

Citizens and council members expressed concerns over the amount of parking inside the shopping center, the aesthetics of the development’s fit with the area and the number of revisions to the plans over time — more than 30 according to Branch officials.

City Councilman Tom Lambert asked development representatives why they needed more parking than the minimum requirement and how developers could cover unattractive dumpsters near the walking paths.

Branch officials said they needed the parking to comply with the unnamed organic grocer’s demands and that they would work on adding more landscaping to unattractive areas near waste facilities and the gas station.

Councilman Terry Nall said he liked the one-story building design for all retailers and restaurants. The 6,000 to 7,000 square foot buildings would be broken up into multiple stores of 2,000 to 3,000 square feet.

Restaurants with a greater capacity nearby have failed, said Jack T. Haylett, senior vice president of Branch Properties.

The trend is toward more fast casual eating options, he said.

Councilman Lynne Deutsch asked for a condition for chefdriven restaurants, guaranteeing that the new development would not contain large chains which could harm Dunwoody’s identity.

“The first generation [of restaurants] may lead to something very different from the second generation of business, because

restaurants are a very difficult proposition which I understand,” Deutsch said.

Haylett responded that he could not accept that condition because of the difficulty of the restaurant business and negotiations with a bank after the first chef-driven restaurant failed. The bank, he said, would want greater assurance that the next business would perform better.

Councilman John Heneghan asked for city oversight of road construction and said he was concerned about the lack of a hydrology report. He also suggested increased outdoor seating rather than more parking spaces.

Mayor Denis Shortal concentrated his remarks on building design, saying he wanted less wood. “I like brick and stone,” he said to Haylett. “I know you’re not happy because I can see the look on your face, but that’s why the people elected us, I guess.”

Branch will return with a revised plan at the next council meeting on June 10.

The historic summer home that was the inspiration for the name of Happy Hollow Road and which was once known as Happy Hollow is available for purchase. The Cassidy/Lamb Home, circa 1930, at 2579 W. Fontainebleau Court, a cul-desac off Happy Hollow Road, has been the home of Brenda and Ken Lamb since 1979.

“Nestled deep on the side of a thickly wooded hill, it is one of the most charming country homes. The windows are shuttered, and the rural atmosphere is carried out, even to the farm bell which is supported from one end of the house. Their (the Ebersoles’) hospitality is often enjoyed by friends who are fortunate enough to be invited out for a bit of relaxation and escape from the city’s heat and the hustle and bustle of presentday living.”

The home became part of the Fontainebleau subdivision as homes were built around it in 1969. It features beautiful hardwood floors and many original architectural features, as well as a walk-in attic. The property also includes a 2,000-squarefoot raised bed garden.

“Ken and Brenda Lamb have been exceptional stewards of this remarkable property for more than 40 years,” said Tom Florence, associate broker with Keller Williams, representing the Lambs in the sale. “Our hope is that the new owners will fall in love with its past as well as its livability and pristine ambience and will maintain the historical integrity of that past for generations to come.”

breathe the same air we all do and it’s gratifying to see profits being plowed back into “good citizen projects.”

Jet fuel counts for 98 percent of Delta’s emissions, and a goal is a 50 percent reduction in emissions by 2050.

Rapidly retiring older aircraft, Delta will replace 25 percent of its fleet over three years with newer more fuel-efficient jets.

New composite materials for airframes makes planes lighter, reducing fuel burn. Carbon brakes reduce weight by 700 pounds.

On a recent flight to San Diego in first class, food was served on glass plates with real silverware. Delta is eliminating single-use plastics, including stir sticks, wrappers, utensils and straws from aircraft and airport clubs. More electric vehicles are being used as ground equipment.

Delta has a neutral carbon offset program. By calculating the emissions output per flyer, the company invests in global offset projects. One project involves the biodiversity Conservation Coast project in Guatemala. It protects forests which are a critical migratory bird corridor.

LanzaTech, a biotech startup with headquarters and labs in

Chicago, and with offices in London, Shanghai, and India, noted that rabbits are highly efficient in turning plant food into energy. A bacteria found in the gut of a rabbit can help turn factory carbon emissions (pollution) into ethanol. The products can be blended with car gasoline or blended into jet fuel. LanzaTech estimates its products reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 60 percent compared to equivalent products derived from fossil fuels. Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic Airline plans to fly a B-747 from Orlando to London in an eco-friendly way using a LanzaTech blend.

The Delta magazine featured an interview with Bertrand Piccard, a Swiss explorer who flew around the world in a solar powered aircraft. Piccard created the Solar Impulse Foundation. Focused on air, water and plastic pollution, climate change and the energy crisis, Piccard’s team is vetting 1,000 innovations for environmental benefits and economic viability.

Environmentalists worry about emissions from the eastern end of westbound bovines and other critters, hence a drive to turn human carnivores into vegans.

Good news! Piccard says there is an animal feed additive that makes cows produce 30 percent less flatulence-based methane.

Beano for cows. Burger lovers rejoice!

Piccard says there are a myriad of carbon reducing technologies “just under the radar.” “What we need now is for governments to establish the legal framework that will bring these innovations to the market and take them from anecdotal

Danny Ducat, assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, Michigan State University, leads teams exploring ways sun power can help to create biodegradable plastics that do not require fossil fuels.

Plastics aren’t going away, he says, but “chemistry may hold the answer to more efficient and sustainable ways of making better biodegradables.”

It takes profits to create new technologies and to fund research. It takes a growing economy based on responsible free enterprise to pull people out of poverty. In China, India and other third world countries people still burn highly polluting coal, charcoal, and even animal dung, for heat and cooking. Ban fossil fuels and within a decade there wouldn’t be a tree left standing.

Bernie Sanders said, “Capitalism does a number of things very well: it helps create an entrepreneurial spirit; it gets people motivated to come up with new ideas, and that’s a good thing.” Past pronouncements can come back to haunt presidential candidates, but my money is on the “entrepreneurial spirit” to make more progress in dealing with climate change and the environment than choking government regulations and boondoggles like the Obama Administration’s tax-payer funded Solyndra fiasco. Entrepreneurs with their own money at risk seem to get better results. Go figure!

Man reports harassment from former girlfriend DUNWOODY, Ga. — A man notified authorities May 17 to report an incident of harassment via text message. The victim said he had reconnected with a longtime female friend a year ago and had made plans to attend a concert. When the two arrived late to the concert, the female blamed the victim for missing her favorite artist and demanded $200 from him for the tickets, the report said.

The two quickly stopped communicating with one another afterward.

Almost a year later, the female initiated conversation with the victim via text message. The topic of the concert came up and she continuously expressed how upset she still was about the whole situation and not receiving her ticket money. The woman then allegedly threatened physical violence against the victim with the assistance of an unknown male party.

The responding officer advised the victim to send a final text message asking for the conversation to end with no further attempts to contact one another.

Authorities are still examining the case.

The report says the officer noticed an odor of marijuana while approaching the driver’s window. Once the suspect was positively identified, he was detained and placed in the rear of the patrol vehicle. An assisting officer arrived at the stop to search the vehicle.

During the search, five bank cards under different names were found in addition to blank payroll tickets from multiple businesses. When asked about the items, the suspect claimed they belonged to a friend who borrowed the vehicle. He declined to give the friend’s name.

time goals, according to data provided by DeKalb County to the City of Dunwoody. In fact, records show an upward trend in response times for life-threatening calls over the past four months in Dunwoody, and there has been no single month when AMR was compliant for both types of calls.

Dunwoody City Councilman Terry Nall has long advocated for better EMS services for Dunwoody, and he remains concerned about ambulance response times, even with improvement since last fall’s agreement with the county.

“DeKalb just isn’t capable of providing for this zone,” he said.

“At what point does the state step in and say enough is enough?”

Nall backed his claim by pointing out substantial differences in the county’s agreement with Dunwoody last fall and its

Last summer, AMR lost its bid in South Fulton because of slow response times, and the new provider, EMS Grady, was given from May 29 to September 1 to implement its new system for the zone, whose population is close to 200,000. DeKalb County’s zone, which includes the entire county, is more than triple that size, according to census data estimates from July 2018.

This chart shows a distinction between the 90th percentile of ambulance response times, overall average ambulance response times and first responder times for life threatening calls. The 90th percentile means that 90 percent of responses arrived at or below that time, while the average is the sum of all response times divided by the number of responses. (Source: DeKalb County)

average response times for lifethreatening calls were 9 minutes 51 seconds — a clear improvement, but still not compliant with terms in the agreement.

“We have made great, positive strides,” Shortal said. “I trust the best provider is selected.”

DeKalb County CEO Mike Thurmond will make the decision on the county’s next provider. Shortal said he trusts Thurmond to make the best decision possible.

Nall isn’t convinced.

The biggest determining factor for improved EMS services in Dunwoody, he said, remains the terms of the contract with the county.

In March, during a session with DeKalb County on its bidding process, Nall asked how bidders would serve Dunwoody differently, given its different qualifications.

The county responded: “The (MOU) with Dunwoody is a separate legally binding agreement between the City of Dunwoody and DeKalb County. The RFP nor any contract that rises from the RFP will impact the existing MOU. The MOU is effective through October 30, 2019 and automatically renewed for successive annual terms.”

However, Nall said the county has not notified bidders that Dunwoody has different response time requirements.

The proposal has no mention of Dunwoody or its memorandum of understanding in the entire document, except to show the city on the map of fire stations and territories.

At that same session, a DeKalb County official said that the county had no intention of offering a subsidy for the provider, meaning that if the provider needed additional equipment to meet Dunwoody’s MOU, they would not receive help from the county.

Nall said he still expects the county to adhere to the legally binding memorandum of understanding.

The mayor went further, saying response times could improve with a long-term contract in place and with greater incentives from the county.

It remains possible the state could determine that DeKalb requires multiple zones to resolve ambulance response time issues, but the mayor has his doubts, based on his last dealings with the committee overseeing Dunwoody’s complaint.

“They said they would entertain that, ‘maybe,’” Shortal said.

Every second matters for advanced life support calls, and if AMR, or a different future provider, remain non-compliant, then Dunwoody may have to look to the state to effect greater change.

This edition includes the first project for Black Box investigations to the Dunwoody community via the Crier.

Appen Media Group launched Black Box in 2017 as our vehicle for taking deeper dives into important community issues, largely at the directive and recommendation of our readers. It is modeled off the Boston Herald’s Spotlight team, which uncovered decades of child abuse and subsequent coverup by the Catholic Church.

I would encourage you to check out all Black Box work at blackboxdocs.com, the same place you can submit tips.

In 2018 the team won Georgia Press Association’s ‘Open Government’ award for its collective efforts toward encouraging transparency and holding elected officials accountable.

We write about team Black Box’s accolades not to brag, but to show the longtime readers of the Crier what you can expect as part of its merger with Appen Media Group.

We care about writing the news that you deserve to read, and will go to great lengths to make sure you get it. Appen Media is currently involved in a lawsuit with the City of Roswell police department for what we believe are clear violations of Open Records Laws.

All that to say, we believed this story about ambulance response time and standards was a clear example of what our Black Box team was created for. This is the first installment for this project. Expect more soon. If you have anything related you think would be worthwhile adding - call us!

from the AJC last August. But, DeKalb has not collected on any fines for the last six-month period during AMR’s latest contract extension.

AMR can be fined $1,000 per occurrence for the “Contractor’s inability to follow the system status plan, when the Contractor cannot respond to calls,” terms of the extension state, but AMR has received no penalties since January.

Dunwoody is not the only city affected. No city in DeKalb County saw compliant response times in the first quarter of 2019 for either emergency or nonemergency calls, according to quarterly reports sent to Dunwoody from the county. Dunwoody saw the county’s lowest response times at 12 minutes 15 seconds or less for 90 percent of calls, still more than three minutes slower than the requirement.

All of DeKalb County, the state’s fourth most populous, is one zone for EMS services, Nall said. Fulton County, with a population about 50 percent greater, has five different zones.

One solution, Nall said, would be to create a separate zone north of I-285 that could include Dunwoody and some surrounding areas, even reaching into other counties. But rezoning for ambulance service would need to occur at the state level, or it could be initiated by the county with one or more providers, Nall said. “[I-]285 acts like a river,” he said, which makes it difficult for ambulances south of I-285 to get where they need to go quickly in Dunwoody.

Since the memorandum of understanding with the county last fall, response times have improved from what they were before, even if they haven’t been compliant with the agreement, Police Chief Grogan said. He said he hasn’t seen or heard complaints as often as before, though response times are still not ideal.

Dunwoody Mayor Denis Shortal agreed.

He cited first responder times for life-threatening calls for 90 percent of calls at 8 minutes 57 seconds or less for the first quarter of 2019. He also cited average response times for lifethreatening calls at 7 minutes 11 seconds for April, according to county data from AMR. By contrast, he said, in October of 2018, a month before the agreement with the county started,

So in the finals she threw again, still farther than she’d ever thrown; ninety-nine feet, one inch to be exact. All six of her efforts were good for a PR – her last by 16 feet.

When the final results were tallied, she finished fifth – fifth in state after barely making it out of region, after nobody noticed she came out for track to begin with.

There were a lot of big smiles while she stood on that stage. It’s a classic story – flimsy water hitting unbending rock day after day. Eventually, the water wins. Take that bullies. Take that talent.

Many coaches don’t check that box – the one where you just pick up that heavy disc day after day and you just keep throwing and picking it up and throwing it again – alone or with people, rain or shine or who cares?

As the facts go, next year she plans on playing basketball again, then joining track afterwards. All the uniforms will be ready to hand out; she’ll get hers.

Only difference is, next year when she’s practicing throwing, the coaching staff better be prepared to duck. After all, she really might break something.

HIES boys’ golf team takes second in state

By Dunn Neugebauer For the Crier

After capturing the Class APrivate state crown last spring, the Holy Innocents’ boys golf team took second this time around, falling off the top of the podium by only two strokes. They went into the event in Columbus as area champs – a title they have won the past three years.

Despite going in with momentum, coach Jason Rutledge said he knew the competition would be extra-tough this time around.

He was right. After the first of the two days, there were six teams all within four strokes. The HI boys ended Monday afternoon in fourth, three strokes back.

The Bears moved up on Day 2, ending with great rounds from Cannon Crane (2-under 69), Jeff Klopfenstein and Bailey Means (73), and Nick Reddy (74). Cannon’s twoday performances were good for second place overall in the medalist department.

“We built on last year’s state title by having a growth mindset,” Rutledge said. “We didn’t dwell on last year’s success but focused just on trying to get better every day. Because of that, we were much more consistent

as a team and lowered our team average as the year went on.

We also knew going in there would be around eight teams that could’ve legitimately won the title. We had to continue our focus in the weeks between region and state.”

Besides those scoring at state, others on the 2019 roster included Justin Gahlhoff, Colin Edwards, Owen Malcolm, Graham Kennedy, Greg Hays, Hamilton James, Sam Medeiros, and Andersson Niepoky.

All contributed at one time or another in a regular season that saw HI bring home hardware in three separate tournaments, including a first-place finish.

The girls went into Columbus as second-in-area after taking fourth in state in 2018.

Though they finished well off the first-place pack, HI still turned in an 11th-place finish in a more or less rebuilding year.

Rutledge assessed his Lady Bears with pride when looking back over the campaign.

“They improved all year, with every player shooting their personal best at one time or another. Taking second in area took a solid performance from all of them, and we went into state looking to build on that.”

Primrose Experience®: Building the Right Foundation for Future Learning and Life Choosing the right early education and care experience for your child is one of the most important decisions parents make. You want a provider who will keep your child safe, healthy and nurtured — but you likely want more than that. Total peace of mind comes from knowing you have a trusted partner who is committed to ensuring your child gets the very best start in life.

Research shows the first five years are critical to a child’s future success, as the brain develops more rapidly during these years than at any other point in a person’s life. It’s essential to find a provider who uses developmentally appropriate approaches to help your little one build the right foundation of intellectual, creative, physical and social-emotional skills to jumpstart his or her development.

“One of the best ways to get a sense of whether a child care provider is the right fit for your child and family is by observing children in the classroom and how the teachers interact with them,” says Lynn Manning, Franchise Owner of Primrose School of Dunwoody. “When parents come into our school, they often immediately feel at ease seeing the nurturing environment, happy children and the thoughtfulness behind every aspect of the learning experience.”

relationships with every family. And they all share the Primrose vision: To deliver the best and most trusted early education and care for children and families across America.

The Balanced Learning® approach. The Primrose-exclusive Balanced Learning approach is based on the belief that who children become is as important as what they know. Created from the best early education wisdom, Balanced Learning encourages curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion. Children learn and practice concepts like science, music, math, literacy and kindness continually throughout each day. Balanced Learning also features a balance of purposeful play and nurturing guidance from teachers to help take children’s learning to the next level.

The commitment to service excellence.

Primrose is dedicated to providing the highest quality early learning experience possible for children and families. The curriculum is continuously assessed and refined as new insights in early education become available. Entrusting the care of your child to someone else is difficult, which is why Primrose teachers and leadership strive to partner with parents to help you maintain peace of mind and to ensure your child is prepared for school and life.

What makes the Primrose Experience unique?

The people. One reason parents choose Primrose® is because they know they are leaving their children with qualified teachers and staff who also want the best for their little ones. School Leadership Team members and teachers create and maintain trusted

Raising kids who speak for the bees Feed a Bee program, which provides grants to create forage areas to feed bees and other pollinators.

This spring, the grant will fund the renovation of an older butterfly garden, broadening it to serve more pollinators by planting native wildflowers and installing “pocket beds” of annual flower species. Students across grade levels will participate in plant selection, plant rearing and garden design.

“There is nothing more powerful in education than student voice,” wrote Vicky Prusinski, science specialist at The Orchard School. “Funding for this project quite literally allows my students to put their money where their mouths are and do what they passionately feel compelled to do.”

NAPS — Remember the Lorax, who spoke for the trees?

Dr. Seuss’ tale laid important groundwork by encouraging the next generation to care about the environment. As Seuss wrote, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” Regardless of age or ability, students who care “a whole awful lot” can become some of bees’ best advocates.

With pollinators facing challenges including a lack of forage (food) that provides them with proper nutrition and habitat, we have a great opportunity to empower the next generation to “speak for the bees” and give them the tools to help.

Impact Beyond the Classroom When kindergartners at The Orchard School in Indianapolis learned they wouldn’t have chocolate without pollinators, what began as a snack time discussion led to a burning desire to help. Their curriculum model allowed students to work together to plant and

maintain a pollinator-attractant garden, which more than 15 species visit regularly. To

further this student-driven impact, the school applied for funding through the Bayer

Agriculture-Focused Camp Programs Gateway to the Arctic Camp outside of Talkeetna, Alaska, also got a Feed a Bee grant to provide hands-on education for young people. The nonprofit teaches campers the signifi-

cance of serving those in need and the value of hard work through fun activities involving sustainability, farming and environmental stewardship.

For years, the camp planted wildflowers to attract pollinators to its 3 acres of gardens, and this summer it will dedicate an entire field as forage for native bees and other pollinators.

Campers of all abilities, including those with special needs, can discover the connection between bees and the crops they pollinate. The Feed a Bee program celebrates this program not only because of its commendable mission but because the organization’s grant meant Feed a Bee met its goal of funding forage for pollinators in all 50 states.

Since 2015, Feed a Bee has distributed more than 3 billion wildflower seeds nationwide and provided grants to 163 organizations in efforts to increase forage and, perhaps most importantly, to teach kids the importance of bees.
