Brook Run baseball fields draw noise complaints By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Some neighbors near the Brook Run Park baseball fields say they’re tired of hearing ding after ding from metal bats striking baseballs all day and night. Dunwoody City Council members are trying to figure out if it’s the city’s problem. On the North Peachtree Road side of the baseball fields, there are fewer trees to buffer sound. Designs were submitted to the council several months out with figures show-

ing that trees would have to be taken out along that side whether they added a retaining wall or if they had a sloped hill as the design is now, Parks and Recreation Director Brett Walker said. Councilman John Heneghan, Councilwoman Pam Tallmadge and Mayor Denis Shortal met with neighbors near the proposed Brook Run baseball fields more than a year ago, when Brian Mailman, who lives across the street from the fields on the North Peachtree side, first raised concerns about noise and light pollution.

DeKalb purchases seven new ambulances By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — The DeKalb County Commission has approved the purchase of seven new ambulances for the county for $1,346,231. The ambulances are separate from the county’s emergency medical services provider, American Medical Response, whose contract runs through the end of the month. Two of the seven new ambulances will replace old units, two will be put in reserve, and the other three will be put in service for daily operations, accord-

ing to agenda details. It is not yet known how or where the three ambulances in service will be deployed or if they will attempt to aid in reaching requirements set by Dunwoody’s memorandum of understanding with DeKalb County, which sets stricter goals for ambulance response times than the rest of DeKalb. The measure passed on a vote of 5-1 with one commissioner abstaining. Commissioner Nancy Jester cast the only vote against the purchase because the Employee Relations and Public Safety Committee vetted the purchase and did not request an audit, she said. Jester has made a stance over the

last several months that she will not vote through any purchases of more than $1 million if the procurement has not been audited. This is based on recommendations from the independent assessment of DeKalb County’s procurements last September conducted by the Hartman Firm — also referred to as the Hartman Report. “The Board of Commissioners will not approve any contract in an amount of $1 million or greater until the Office of Independent Internal Audit has been given the opportunity to issue a report,” the report stated. Jester has stuck to this rule in an

effort to save money on large purchases. Over the last several months, audits on certain purchases of more than $1 million have saved the county close to $2 million, she said. The board was originally set to hear recommendations for bids for an ambulance service provider this month, but no hearings have been scheduled on the subject at this week’s meeting. The current contract with American Medical Response ends June 30 and can be extended at three-month intervals. Three bids were submitted last

Deputies arrest woman for attempted fraud GENERAL MANAGER & ADVERTISING /Jim Hart

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police responded June 1 to a reported identity theft and fraud at an Apple store on Ashford Dunwoody Road. Authorities said a female suspect attempted to purchase three iPhones with a credit card using a fraudulent account. When asked to provide two forms of identification, she provided an Arizona ID and PNC bank Visa both under the name Sarah Shoffner. Store employees checked the cards and determined they were fraudulent. When the store’s loss prevention officer attempted to detain the woman, she turned and ran away. After a brief chase down

Congresswoman hosts town hall Republican announces bid for Congress By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com

MILTON, Ga. — Republican business owner Marjorie Greene recently announced her candidacy for the 6th Congressional District of Georgia. Greene is the owner of Taylor Commercial, a construction business based in Alpharetta that she has owned since 2002. The firm has seen over a quarter billion dollars in business in GREENE 11 states. “As a businesswoman for over 17 years, I know how to balance a budget, cut spending and meet a payroll,” Greene said. “Our next congresswoman has got to understand these things if we are going to decrease the federal deficit and reduce the size of government.” Greene lives in Milton and is a 22year resident of the 6th District. She graduated from the University of Georgia, where she received a bachelor’s degree in business administration. “There is tremendous ‘Karen Handel fatigue’ across the district,” Greene said. “She lost a congressional seat she clearly should have won. Republicans need a candidate who can effectively carry the conservative message to the voters of our district.” The 6th District seat is currently held by Democrat Rep. Lucy McBath.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia’s 6th District hosted a town hall Saturday focusing on her recent gun control and veterans medical treatment legislation. Some constituents came to Dunwoody High School wearing orange to signal awareness for Gun Violence Prevention Month. At least one resident, though, wore peach to represent their frustration with the president, holding a sign reading, “Impeach Trump” before the town hall began. After her thin election victory last fall over incumbent Karen Handel, McBath promised four town halls before her next election in 2020. McBath preached bipartisanship, pointing to her recent bipartisan cosponsored bills that have passed in the House of Representatives, including two bills requiring universal background checks for almost all gun purchases. These bills passed in February, but have since stalled in the Senate. McBath lost her son, Jordan Davis, to gun violence in 2012 when he was shot and killed in Florida. Gun violence prevention measures have been key issues for her since running for the Georgia House of Representatives in 2015. But at this town hall, most questions she fielded were about transportation issues, bipartisanship at the federal and local levels, climate change and possible impeachment hearings for President Trump. McBath was also asked about what she could do for veterans, especially after the Atlanta VA Medical Center was downgraded in October from a three star facility to one star out of a possible five.

U.S. Representative Lucy McBath greets constituents before her town hall at Dunwoody High School Saturday.

When she visited the facility, she said she was torn apart by what she saw. Two veterans have committed suicide there, women veterans were unable to get mammograms and the downgraded rating has made it more difficult to recruit medical staff, she said. She has worked with Sen. Johnny Isakson to get more support for the hospital and veterans affairs centers around the country, she said. One resident asked why McBath has not vocally supported impeachment hearings. “I am furious. I am absolutely furious about what’s happening in this country,” McBath said. “There’s no doubt in our mind that there has been obstructive behavior by this administration in concealing the truth.” But she emphasized that this would be a process and that process would take time and diligence on the part of the judiciary committee.

“At the end of the day the chips will fall where they may,” she said. “If it comes to the point of impeachment inquiries we will do our job.” Many residents also had transportation concerns, particularly related to new Georgia Department of Transportation projects on I-285 and Ga. 400. There has been anxiety from residents related to the new Express Lanes Project from the department, which could add new toll lanes to a large stretch of I-285 and 400. The project has already prompted Dunwoody residents to create a change.org petition to end the project with more than 1,000 signatures as of June 10. McBath responded that she is well aware of Metro Atlanta’s traffic struggles, and she has written letters to officials at the Georgia DOT and other state officials on this issue. But those types of changes occur at the local and state levels, she said, and she encouraged those in the room to make their voices heard to their local representatives. She finished the hour-long session by returning to gun control in schools. Some constituents at the town hall were concerned that Dunwoody High did not have noticeable metal detectors and other reinforcements to keep children safe, but McBath was more concerned with the growing normalization of schools acting as “fortresses” for students. “Our children don’t go to school to be put in an academic prison,” she said. “Our children go to school to learn.” McBath was the first Democrat elected to represent the district since it was redrawn in 1993. Her seat comes up for challenge in 2020.

Council delays action on Swancy Farmhouse rezoning By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Council voted again to wait to act on a rezoning that would allow development of new residences on a 2.6-acre tract around the historic Swancy farmhouse. The request by Rock River Realty to rezone the area along Roberts Drive near the farmhouse to allow construction of nine new homes on the parcel was stalled again at the May 20 city council meeting until the July 11 meeting The T-shaped area surrounds the Swancy farmhouse on three sides, and the farmhouse owner, Dave Haverty, has spoken at multiple council meetings over the past three months against the rezoning. At the most recent meeting May 20, he had concerns over privacy. “It’s a strange project,” he said. “It’s just it’s a project that seems to make sense in some people’s eyes, but it surrounds us. And it’s very, very strange in that manner. It’s going to take away our privacy.” The council took issue with the look of the development at the most recent meeting, with Councilman John Heneghan ask-

ing why there was no cul-de-sac included with the proposed dead-end streets. “This property, there’s too much. There’s too many. It’s too impactful,” he said. Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch said the property seemed two-thirds complete and that it did not fit the character of other Dunwoody subdivisions. Mayor Denis Shortal asked the applicant’s attorney Ethan J. Underwood if he had asked for an appraisal on the Swancyhouse yet after Shortal had asked him the same question the previous meeting. Underwood said no, and when asked again this past week, Underwood said that their plan is for the Havertys to live there as long as they would like. Shortal asked city lawyers what the developer could do with no rezoning. If the lot remained R-100, then the developer could most likely build four or five homes by right without any amenities, city lawyers said. “My concern is that they’re going to get five houses in there by right,” Shortal said. “And they’re going to build what they want to build, and I don’t think that’s something that we want whatsoever.” The council voted 6-1 to table the rezoning until its July 8 meeting.

Dunwoody hires new assistant city manager Dunwoody, GA — Jay Vinicki has been named the new assistant city manager for the City of Dunwoody. Vinicki comes to Dunwoody from Atlanta Public Schools, where he has served as the executive director of budget services since May 2018. “Having worked in and around the Dunwoody area for more than a decade, I appreciate the sense of community that the city offers,” Vinicki said. “I can’t wait to get started.” While working for APS, Vinicki directed and managed budget functions totaling $1.1 billion. He also helped develop budget policies, procedures and programs. Prior to that, he worked for DeKalb County government for 11 years, serving as the first director of the Office of Management and Budget from 2015 to 2018 and overseeing development of a $1.2 billion budget.

“Jay’s dynamic leadership and extensive experience in local government made him stand out,” said Dunwoody City Manager Eric Linton. “He has a proven ability to navigate complex issues with a strong background in strategic budgeting and policy research. He’s a great fit for Dunwoody.” Vinicki’s prior experience also includes planning and budgeting for Gwinnett County government, the city of Roswell and the Georgia governor’s office. He earned an MPA from the University of Georgia and a BA in communications from Mississippi State University. In his free time, Vinicki puts his passion for numbers and sports to work as a statistician for Georgia Tech football and basketball. He will join Dunwoody on June 24. “The Request for Proposal is still under evaluation and I cannot provide additional information at this time as our procedures prohibit public disclose of information during this sealed proposal process,” Procurement Manager Cathryn Horner wrote in an email.

Noise: Continued from Page 1

Since the baseball fields have been in operation, noise has been an issue for Mailman and his family, especially his daughter who he tries to put to bed by 9 p.m., he said. Teams start playing and practicing as early as 6:45 a.m. and run until 11 p.m., he said. He has lived in his house for 14 years, and the noise has devalued his home to some extent, he said. Because of the sloped hills around the fields, more trees were taken down that could have acted as a stronger buffer, he said. Leyland cypress have been planted along the North Peachtree side, but they are not as tall as the older trees farther down the road past Riverglen Circle, where Mailman’s neighborhood abuts the park. “You don’t get a sound buffer from one row of trees,” Mailman said. The home has lost value by a project the city installed, Mailman said. Mailman’s concerns prompted

Heneghan to bring the noise complaints to the City Council at its May 20 meeting. “Do we have a responsibility to rectify this situation for this homeowner that abuts this project that we installed?” Heneghan said. “The batting cages are really close to his house. It happens all day, every day sometimes till 11 o’clock at night.” Mailman has submitted a quote to the city for triple-paned windows for his home, which could significantly deaden the sound. The city will look into replacing all or some of Mailman’s windows, Heneghan said, possibly after city staff visits the home to determine the noise volume and which windows may need to be replaced. City lawyers will determine how much of the cost of the windows the city is responsible for. The city must also consider the possible long-term value added to Mailman’s home if the windows are replaced and paid for by the city, Heneghan said. “When we put a project into place we need to think of all implications,” Heneghan said.

Annuity in your 401(k) plan? The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the Secure Act (Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement), 417 to 3. The containing Lewis J. Walker, CFP bill, changes for 401(k)s and traditional IRAs, endorsed by AARP, is expected to pass in the Senate. Like all legislation, the devil will be in the details. New is the introduction of annuities as a 401(k) option, the ability to convert some or all of your savings to lifetime guaranteed income. Since guarantees are made by the issuing insurance carrier, there will be intense focus on the financial health and claims paying ability of the carrier. Currently, when you reach age 70 ½ you must begin withdrawing money, “Required Minimum Distributions” (RMDs), from qualified retirement

plans every year based on federal life expectancy tables, even if you don’t want or need the money. The age to start RMDs will be 72. This does not apply to a Roth IRA which has no RMD requirement. After Dec. 31, 2019, if you inherit a traditional tax-advantaged IRA, and you’re other than a spouse or minor child, you lose the lifetime stretch-out. You would have to withdraw the money within 10 years of the owner’s death, paying ordinary income taxes at your marginal tax rate. There are benefits for longtime employees who work part time, at least 500 hours a year. That could help those wishing to ease into retirement, while employers could profit from legacy knowledge. Long sought by the life insurance industry, the big change will be inclusion of annuities as investment options. Currently, if you leave an employer and roll your 401(k) into an IRA, you can buy an annuity inside of your IRA. However, Congress wants to make it

easier for you to accumulate savings in an annuity in your 401(k), money that can be converted into predictable lifetime income as found in traditional pension plans, the likes of which are fast disappearing. Is this a good idea? Applied to you as a unique individual, the answer must be, “It depends.” As an adviser who understands annuities and has been critical of some sales practices, more questions arise than do answers. We’ll have to see what products are approved and then fully vet and understand contract details as they apply to a person’s overall situation. Annuity contracts are highly complex documents, not easily understood by many. How does a pension plan type annuity work? Suppose you’re a life insurance company and I offer to invest a certain amount of money in return for you guaranteeing me at some point a fixed monthly payment for life, or for a certain period of time. The first question you ask is my age. An annuity is the opposite of life insurance. A life insurance actuary knows that of 10,000 men or women of the same age in a given health classification, a certain number will die each year. They just don’t know specifically who will die, but they know what their claims liability is likely to be. With an annuity, the reverse holds true. With an annuity beneficiary pool, they look at how many are likely to live and for how long? In deciding what to pay monthly, the company makes assumptions about interest rates, investment returns, etc., while creating a buffer to return a profit. With an annuitized single life payment, as the “annuitant” I am betting I will outlive the average, recoup my investment and then some. Once I die, payments stop and there’s nothing left for heirs. The minute I hedge my bet, covering a spouse, for example, the payments decrease because there are two lives in the longevity equation. Payments decrease if a “period certain” is introduced, for example, you pay me or my beneficiary for at least 10 years or so, to guarantee a

You, the annuitant, assume the inflation risk since there are no cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) on payments. How much of your nest egg will be devoted to guaranteed income versus growth? How much liquidity can you give up in exchange for a fixed lifetime income stream? How much of the income stream can be transferred to a surviving spouse? We’ll have to wait and see what comes to the marketplace. Determining what may be right for you will require indepth analysis of your overall net worth, all sources of retirement cash flow and a myriad of other questions.

OBITUARY

Popular 19th century stop was Copeland Home and Well Brad Phillips has lived in the Roberts Drive area, north of Spalding Drive, since he moved here with his family in 1971. He remembers the old home and the well that once sat where Dunwoody VALERIE Springs Elementary BIGGERSTAFF School is located. It was known as Obediah’s Plantation, because the original owners were Obediah and Salina Copeland. In the 1970s, when Brad was riding the school bus to Mimosa Elementary School and later Woodland Elementary School, the bus passed the old home. Granddaughter of Obediah and Salina, Lee Eula Copeland Hembree lived there at the time with her husband. The couple would wave at the bus full of children from their front porch or from their garden. They had a local nursery business, growing shrubbery on the property. Lee Eula Copeland Hembree shared the stories of her pioneer family in an early issue of the Dunwoody Crier. Her grandmother Salina told her how Native Americans and gold prospectors stopped at the Copeland well for a drink of water and how wagons and horses sometimes formed a line along the road. The Copelands also ran a post office from their home. At the time, the area was known as Grogan’s District and the county was Milton County. The post office went by the name of Grogansville. Salina Copeland also told of the trials and tribulations of the Civil War years. Obediah Copeland was away fighting with the 38th Georgia Regiment, Company A. In July of 1864, Union soldiers raided some area homes, including the home of Salina Copeland. Salina begged a Union lieutenant not to take all their food and was thankful and impressed that he returned a large bag of food for her and the children. Obediah was captured and held at Camp Douglas in Chicago until he was released in 1865. By the time he made it home from the war, Salina’s hair had turned white from grief, thinking that her husband had died. When Obediah Copeland died in 1895, Lee Eula’s father, Robert Lee Copeland purchased 50 acres, the house and the well for $200. Later, Lee Eula

This photograph shows the Copeland well and the old farmhouse, where many travelers stopped for a drink of water. The home and well sat where Dunwoody Springs Elementary School is today, along Roberts Drive in Sandy Springs.

The Copeland well continued to be a popular stopping place for many years after the Civil War. became owner of the home and property. Brad Phillips remembers the historical marker on the Copeland property. It was moved to the Sandy Springs Fire Station at Roberts Drive and Spalding Drive when Dunwoody Springs El-

ementary was constructed. The marker describes how three federal armies of General Sherman crossed the Chattahoochee River at the Shallow Ford near Roswell and were moving toward Atlanta and Decatur, taking them past the Copeland home and along what is now Roberts Drive and Chamblee Dunwoody Road. The Copeland well continued to be a popular stopping place for many years after the Civil War. A few years after Dunwoody Springs Elementary was built, the old stones of the well were retrieved by Dunwoody developer and builder Bill Grant from behind Bulloch Hall. A replica of the well was constructed in the courtyard behind the school.

OPINION

The INK PENN

You’re never too old to follow your dream Hometown girl Kelly (Coleman) Fletcher, a graduate of Dunwoody High, has always pursued her dream to be a performer. Marriage, motherhood and a career detour didn’t deter her. KATHY She and her MANOS PENN dream have found their way into the pages of the Crier quite a few times. The first time she made the paper, her picture landed on the front page when, as a singer/dancer at Hersheypark in Pennsylvania during high school summers, she was chosen to go to China as part of the Hersheypark group. Her dream took her to Valdosta State University as a Theater Major, where she says, “I got incredible training as an actor and singer.” After graduating with a BFA, hitting the Big Apple, performing on cruise ships, and then in Nashville with her singer/songwriter husband Ladd, she returned to Dunwoody to raise a family.

She was the creative programming director at Dunwoody Community Church for 14 years, and the production of “Narnia,” in which she played the White Witch, was featured in the Crier, as was her performance in “The Taffetas” at the Stage Door Players. In shock when her church position went away in 2011, she was invited to join the national tour of “Remember When Rock Was Young — the Elton John Tribute” as a back-up singer and travel the USA. With the dream still intact but taking a back seat, and with her sons entering college, she took a corporate job with the understanding that she’d also be playing rock star on the weekends. Fast forward a few years, and you’ll discover Kelly’s latest incarnation as the “Singing Author.” While touring and working her day job, she began writing romance novels under the pen name, KG Fletcher. She published her first book, “Unexpected,” in 2016 and has now published another six, one of which hit No.3 on the Amazon bestseller’s list last December. www.kgfletcherauthor.com But wait, there’s more. This year, Kelly was invited to be one of the guest artists at her alma mater, Valdosta State University, for the 30th season of its Peach State Summer Theatre. She’ll perform in three rotating musicals; playing Donna in “Mamma Mia,” Marmee in “Little Women,” and Mrs. Childs in “Crazy for You.” The season kicks off June 7 with “Mamma Mia” and runs through July 21. Visit https://www.valdosta. edu/colleges/arts/communication-arts/ psst/ for information and tickets.

With that opportunity on the horizon, Kelly took the leap of faith to quit her day job and follow her dream fulltime. She calls this her second act. She’ll continue writing throughout the summer shows, and when the season ends, she’ll rejoin the Elton John tour and release another two books by the end of this year. What’s next for Kelly? When she returns to Dunwoody, she’ll start booking her cabaret act, “The Novel Romantic ~ an unexpected evening of sweet & spicy love.” Her website says it best: “There’s a story behind everyone’s journey, and KG Fletcher would like to invite you to spend the evening with her as she performs classic standards and Broadway favorites. Her story of determination and second chances will leave you breathless and wanting more! KG has combined writing with her years as a professional singer to bring you a musical evening filled with romance, heartache, love, and suspense.” Speaking with Kelly brings to mind the song “The Impossible Dream” from “Man of La Mancha,” though she’s never, ever seen her dream as impossible. I’m humming that tune as I consider the message from Kelly’s amazing story — We’re never too old to follow our dreams! Kathy is a Sandy Springs resident. Find her books, “Lord Banjo the Royal Pooch” and “The Ink Penn: Celebrating the Magic in the Everyday,” at the Enchanted Forest and on Amazon.

OPINION

Horn-honker? This column is for you The wait is agonizing. Cars are backed up for miles because of a multi-car wreck on Ga. 20 in Forsyth County. Slowly, the wreck scene is being cleared so that traffic Ray appen can start back up. Publisher In one of the cars ray@appenmediagroup.com near the front of the line, 85-year-old Mary waits patiently and gets ready to move. The deputy motions the cars forward. Mary adjusts her seat belt. Then the car behind her lays on the horn. No, really. He starts honking at Mary because she has failed to start moving within the first 2 seconds. Stuff like this just make me crazy. Why would someone be so rude and obnoxious? A couple weeks ago on a Sunday morning, I was traveling east on Academy Street in Alpharetta toward Ga. 400 and slowed down to turn into church. It was about 9 a.m. No sooner had I come to a stop in the turn lane when I hear a car behind me laying on their horn. Really? Sunday morning? It was a bit startling — even for Alpharetta.

Now, normally, when someone honks their horn at me, I either wait an extra amount of time before I move or if they are honking at me while I am moving, my speed immediately slows down by at least half — and doesn’t increase for a really long time. However, this time for some unknown reason, in response to this horn-honker who was in deep need of a winch to remove that ugly obnoxious chip sitting on his/her shoulder, I hurriedly and foolishly made my turn across Academy. Unfortunately, to my shock, half way across the road I realized that there was a car traveling west coming up the hill that was doing at least 60 and was about to T-bone us if I didn’t punch it instantly. We did make it across the street thankfully, but I was shaking as I pulled into the lot and disgusted at myself for allowing the horn-honker to place me and my family in harm’s way — and for what? I am curious. Does this have anything to do with who you think you are? Do you really actually think that everything around you — from the roads you drive on, to the appointments that you need to be on time for and didn’t leave on time, to the queues you are in at traffic lights or at the grocery store — is for your, and only you? Do really believe

that you are the only person who counts and everyone else needs to drive a little bit faster or get off the line a bit quicker at the traffic light, or find their money a little bit faster at the cash register for your convenience, just because you are in a hurry or are annoyed, or late, or just because you are having a bad day — or a bad life? How about if you become a bigger person and grow up — realize that the sun doesn’t rise and set on just you, and that maybe the reason you are angry or frustrated most of the time is because of your focus just on you? How about if you consider that all of this really is not about you at all, and

TheCrier.net | Dunwoody Crier | June 13, 2019 | 11

that your selfish, self-centered, disrespectful behavior shines such a huge spotlight on who you are? “Look at me blowing my horn. I’m so important and you’re not, so get out of my way. Get a good look at me.” We do. So on behalf of the 99.99 percent of everyone else who never honks their horns out of impatience or disrespect for the people around them, for that .01 percent, the next time you catch yourself about to honk at someone, why don’t you take the high road instead and be patient? Take a deep breath and chill out. Chill, because you really are better than that or because you want to make your neighborhood and your streets a little better for everyone instead of a little worse. Chill because you were brought up better than that; because you are really not in such a big hurry; or because you know that the people you are honking at are just like you with their own families to raise, or just like your grandparents who don’t need the be harassed like that. Why don’t you keep your hand off that horn because you realize that those people have their own deadlines to meet too and are people who have good days and bad days just like you. Just try it. No more horns. No more disrespect. I know you are better than that. Just be better than that. Be nice instead.

St. Pius X athletics wins Director’s Cup By Luke Winstel For the Crier St. Pius X was named the winner of the Georgia Athletic Directors Association Class AAAA Directors Cup on May 29. The title was the school’s first in the AAAA classification. Their previous five all came in class AAA. The Director’s Cup competition awards points to schools based on performances in state playoff games and meets. In the 2018-19 school year, the Golden Lions won state championships in boys swimming, track and field, cross country and golf, and in girls soccer and volleyball. St. Pius finished with 1,272 points, while runner-up Blessed Trinity scored 1,231 points, and the defending champion Marist War Eagles finished third with 1,209 points, ending the school’s 19-year streak of winning their classification’s Director’s Cup. “I couldn’t be more proud and excited for our student-athletes and coaches,” said St. Pius X Athletic Director Todd Mooney. “This is an amazing accomplishment and a testament to the hard work, unity and commitment found in our athletic department. We are blessed

SPORTS

to be at a Christ-centered school that values strong academics coupled with a strong and comprehensive commitment to all of our sports programs.” Coming into the 2018-19 school year, the first-year St. Pius athletic director set a goal of winning the AAAA Director’s Cup. “We accomplished the goal together,” he said. “That’s one of the great things about this competition. Every team, every student-athlete, and every coach, athletic trainer, and our strength and conditioning coordinator play a part in the department’s success. Unity within our programs has been one of our underlying themes this year.” Mooney attributed the success to a simple formula. “Our student-athletes and coaches are driven by the school’s commitment to excellence,” he said. “Our parent community and Athletic Association are amazing in support and our sports medicine coordinator and strength and conditioning coordinator are second to none. St. Pius X Catholic High School is truly a destination.” As the Golden Lions celebrate their first Director’s Cup title since 2014, the program’s summer practices have begun, working toward a repeat next year.

Tanner Duffin earns honor from Atlanta Track Club By Luke Winstel For the Crier St. Pius X High School thrower Tanner Duffin was named the Most Outstanding Field Athlete by the Atlanta Track Club last week. Duffin, who recently signed to throw at the University of Michigan, received the honor for the second consecutive year. In May, Duffin won the AAAA state championships in both the shot put and discus. He had the second farthest throws in the nation in both events. On Sunday, we asked Duffin about the honor, his high school throwing career, and his future as a collegiate athlete. Q: What does it mean to you to be named the Most Outstanding Athlete of the Year? A: “It means the world to me. When you have such a strong passion for a sport, to be recognized as one of the best it truly feels amazing.” Q: What did you improve most in your senior year? A: “I improved most in the shot put, set-

coming all at once.” Q: Where does this accolade rank among everything you have accomplished as an athlete? A: “This accolade is definitely a highlight of my year; it is truly an amazing award to receive. With everything I have accomplished in my high school career, it is definitely very high on my list of top achievements.” SPECIAL

ting a personal record by 9 feet and being the only thrower in Georgia to throw over 70 feet.” Q: What was the most challenging part of throwing your senior year? A: “The most challenging part of throwing this past year was being patient for the far throws and continuing to work hard even when the distances weren’t

Q: What made the University of Michigan a good fit for you to continue your throwing career? A: “I visited Michigan and I loved it. I felt it in my gut. To me, it wasn’t even about the facilities, even though the coach and the facilities were amazing. But really, it was actually the athletes. The throwers sat me down and told me, ‘If you aren’t going to come here and work your butt off, if you aren’t going to commit and try to be one of the best in the nation, if you aren’t going to try to beat everybody, then don’t come here.’ I said okay, this is it! You have already made my decision. This is where I want to be, a place where everyone has the same mindset that I do.”

Holy Innocents’ student athletes making a difference

Rising freshman Parker Miles with Bentley-Grace.

NSW NORTHSIDE WOMAN

SPECIAL

By Dunn Neugebauer For the Crier One of the trademarks of Holy Innocents’ student/athletes is the “how may I serve” mentality. A group of rising Golden Bear ninth graders did just that last weekend at the Race 4 Grace 5K last month. Parker Miles, Joe Sapone, Harrison Fahy, P.J. Mace, and Gavin Miles took part, each competing in a 5K while pushing a competitor with physical limitations. The race was named after Bentley-Grace, who began racing in 2015 as a member of Team Kyle Pease at the 40th annual running of the Marine Corp Marathon in Washington, D.C. Parker is no stranger to push-assist racing; he won the division last month at Lovett with Bentley-Grace in another 5K, while coming in second at the event Saturday. The two were first connected through the Pease Foundation and have since developed a bond in both friendship and competition. “Running with Bentley-Grace has been a highlight of the year for me,” Parker said. “She is incredibly competitive, and so am I, which makes us a great running team. I love her positive attitude and she’s always cheering me on, which takes my competing to new levels. Every run brings us closer together; I love running for her cause and for the Kyle Pease Foundation.” Bentley-Grace’s passion for competition and her great spirit for passion

Running with Bentley-Grace has been a highlight of the year for me.” Parker Miles Holy Innocents’ student

have now created and inspired many to participate, whether with physical limitations or not. From the Race 4 Grace website, “the race is her gift to others as a platform and life-changing experience to inspire and motivate everyone to push past whatever obstacles you face and to hit the road to living a purpose driven life.” Many of our participants were members of last fall’s state championship middle school cross country team and are expected to contribute at the varsity level this fall. Sapone and Miles were among the top of the pack in both region and state competition. Both varsity squads had great seasons as well. Both the girls and boys won their region titles. The boys then went on to take third in state, while the girls finished fourth. Both at one time were ranked #1 in the state. Practice for the upcoming season begins in late July.

LEFT LANE REVIEWS

OPINION

More fun than a roller coaster: The Driving Club at Road Atlanta My wife has given me grief over the years because I refuse to join her on roller coasters. She loves them, but the thought of riding on what is essentially a sweaty, metal, human catapult sends JOE PARKER nervous shutters Reporter joe@appenmediagroup.com down my spine. She’s typically right in saying they are perfectly safe, but my biggest reason for roller coaster anxiety is that I’m not directing my own course. In a car, I have the control to push the pedal to the floor and whip its four wheels into corners, but on a roller coaster, I’m just along for the ride. Needless to say, my wife had good reason to question why I volunteered to sit in the passenger seat of a 460-horsepower Corvette piloted by a man I had known all of five minutes as he hurtled the Grand Sport as fast as he could at Road Atlanta. All the while, he was verbally confirming that no, he was not a professional driver. The reason for my foray into dangerous territory was The Driving Club at Road Atlanta. Founded in 2018, the club allows drivers, both amateurs and professionals, to drive their cars at speed at the prolific, highly touted road course in Braselton, Georgia. The club meets once or twice a month at the track with a quasi-country club feel. For a $7,500 initiation fee, $275 a month and $75 for each track day, drivers can take their cars on track and dine and relax in the club’s 25,000-square foot clubhouse that once housed the Chip Barber Racing School. Members can also store their track day cars on site. Adding to its amenities, the club will take residence in a suite in the new Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta tower currently under construction. Members also have reciprocal benefits to attend VIR Driving Club track days at VIRginia International Raceway. For around 20 minutes, I entrusted my life to one of the club’s original members, John Partington. John is a bit of an outlier in the club because his car does not carry a Porsche emblem. While there is certainly a mix of cars, from spec MX-5s to Vipers, the Road Atlanta Driving Club has a particularly German influence. Not John, though. He was a Corvette man since before he was a man and signing off on his 2017 Grand Sport was a literal childhood dream.

Founded in 2018, the club allows drivers, both amateurs and professionals, to drive their cars at speed at the prolific, highly touted road course in Braselton, Georgia. While John was quick to point out he was not a professional driver while hurtling his American muscle to 150 mph down the hill into Turn 10A — perhaps not the best timing for my sake — he speaks in an almost giddy way of improving his times. Mind you, he’s not out to break lap records. Far from it. John has taken advantage of the club’s driving instructors, including Pro Coach Seth Thomas, a veteran sports car driver. The club offers different levels of coaching, for those with no track experience to veteran drivers looking to further hone their skills. John speaks with an obvious passion for learning how to improve at trail braking, carrying speed through corners, exit speed and attacking corners. He said at each stage of his instruction he has continually improved, and while he still has a ways to go before he can match the lap times his car is capable of, he wants to be a better driver overall. Then the lap times will improve, he said. The club has three driver groupings, the novice Touring group, intermediate Sport and expert Sprint group. Each group has its own track times throughout member days and runs multiple sessions throughout the day. Those interested in joining the group can also participate in a lead/follow where they take to the track at lower speeds behind a driving instructor to get a feel for the track. Members days begin early with a breakfast at 7:30 a.m. before a drivers’ briefing and warm-up period. Cars are then on track until lunch around noon before drivers get back on the track until early evening. After the driving is done and the tires cool, a reception is held with beer and wine. John says one of the best aspects of the club is the comradery that has been built among its members. He said the club is filled with personable, interesting peo-

SPECIAL

ple, and though there is some speed disparity from cars and drivers in each group, no one is critical or hyper-competitive. Beyond the cars and people, John holds his testing ground of Road Atlanta — home to the prestigious Petit Le Mans — in the highest regard. It really is something. I have logged hundreds of hours driving Road Atlanta, but unfortunately, all those miles driven were done digitally. And no computer chair or steering wheel attached to a desk can give you the experience of actually being on the track. Simulators do not get anywhere near simulating the blind, sheer drop of Turn 11, or the way the camber of Turn 6 propels you into Seven or the steep, sweeping climb of Turn 1. The long backstretch allows you to reach the upper echelon of a car’s top speed, something not possible at many tracks. Club Principal Trip Campbell said

there are other driving clubs that offer similar amenities, but he called the track “the real jewel” of The Driving Club at Road Atlanta. Campbell said there have been multiple attempts to create a club at the prestigious track, but it was not until recently that all the pieces came into place. The club currently has over 120 members, and after I spent the day with its members and on track, there was no sales pitch needed for me to want to sign the dotted line. But before I do so, it’s time to hit the gym. Like roller coasters, you have to be strapped in securely to navigate Road Atlanta, and I did not fit in the 5-point harnesses of two members’ cars. And that was far more disappointing than not being able to ride a roller coaster, because I’ll argue that traversing Road Atlanta is a hell of a lot more fun than any steel track.
