Residents attend briefing on Dunwoody Village Master Plan By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — More than 60 Dunwoody residents gathered June 29 at Vintage Pizza to see the latest in a years’ long process to update the Dunwoody Village Master Plan. It was standing room only for a presentation of master plan updates from Caleb Racicot and Rick Hall, two city planning consultants. The updated plan involves rezoning into four, simpler types of zones: DV-1 village commercial, DV-2 village office, DV-3 village residential and DV-4 village center. This simplified code is one step on the way to implementing greater changes to the design of the city center, Racicot said.
Cities often update plans for projects without updating the zoning codes to make those plans legal and enforceable, but Dunwoody has made those efforts, Racicot said. The Village hasn’t changed much since 1993, he said, illustrating the point with a flyover picture comparison. But with input from a resident survey of 1,800 people last year, and with workshops like this one, greater change should be coming soon. The main goals of the updated plan are greater walkability and bikeability, more green space and an updated visual style from the current 1960s Williamsburg look, he said. The plan maintains a desire to keep out big box stores and high-density apartments.
Rick Hall, who has worked in city planning and engineering since the 1980s, stressed a specific plan to keep traffic slow and the village walkable. “There’s a building, and there’s a sidewalk, there are shade trees and parked cars, and every time we line it up that way pedestrians show up,” Hall said. With parked cars in front of store fronts, traffic would also move slower in the middle, he said, making pedestrians safer. This can also create more visually pleasing centers. “When was the last photoshoot you had in the Dunwoody Village?” he asked. Hall showed a design for a new street network map with much more connectivity throughout the village area and for
nearby subdivisions, making the Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Mt Vernon Road intersection potentially more manageable. The design received applause from some residents in the room. “Yea, for common sense,” one man remarked. But the street network designs are not final. Community members were able to draw over those plans after the presentation to provide feedback. The other big applause moment of the presentation was for a limit on the number of banks, one of the key issues residents have voiced about the village, which contains several banks in close proximity.

Near-centenarian shares Pearl Harbor story By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — On December 7, 1941, bombs fell across Pearl Harbor. Garrie Phillips watched as planes flew by, knowing that her husband of just two months was at the base, in danger. Tom Crayton was in a submarine that day conducting a mine-sweep, which Phillips didn’t have a good feeling about from the start. But Crayton survived. He watched all the action happening around him, she said, but he survived.

Unfortunately, Crayton didn’t make it through the end of World War II — not because of wounds suffered on the battlefield. Crayton, she said, was known as the type of guy who would step in and interrupt a fight and convince everyone to get along. He would see a few men arguing, offer them drinks and get them to talk it out rather than using their fists, Phillips said. On a last round trip to China from Hawaii a few years later, her husband stopped in Okinawa for a night.

fers of drinks on him. “When he tried to intervene and calm things down they jumped on him,” Phillips said. “They knocked him up against the wall of the building, and he hit his head on the ledge of the building and had the brain concussion. And he died right there.” Phillips was raising their 28-day-old daughter at the time. Her husband told her before joining the military that if anything were to happen to him, he wanted to be buried in a military cemetery “My mind was blank,” Phillips said. “I didn’t know of a military cemetery closer to North Carolina than Arlington.”

Dunwoody residents discuss Dunwoody Village Master Plan updates during a walking tour of the village where tour guides show where changes could be implemented and how the space could be better used.
Plan: Continued from Page 1 To provide more greenspace, the plan proposes a central green in front of the town square and placement of pocket parks around the village. One such park would be put in front of the Fresh Market on Chamblee Dunwoody Road, removing some of its parking. Parking decks at as many as four locations around the village could also provide additional parking, Racicot said. Racicot showed different types of communities built using form-based coding, a system which sets the form, or the look of an area, as the priority. “We believe that there is a way to prepare regulations that are form based that can reflect your vision for Dunwoody Village,” he said. “They can be used to preserve a distinct sense of place. A place that is truly Dunwoody.” Consultants and other city officials helped illustrate the changes with a
walking tour after the initial presentation. The tour looped around the village area, allowing residents to ask questions and see exactly where the proposed changes would take place. On the tour, residents expressed concerns about how to convince property owners to give up parking for a park, which sections specifically will have new pedestrian walkways and when exactly these plans could be completed after almost a decade of tweaks, workshops and community input. “We went through this nine years ago,” Joe Seconder said. Seconder, who is considering a bid for office in Dunwoody, is a constant presence at council meetings and other community outreach events. He said he wants to see plans move faster in Dunwoody, especially as neighboring cities, like Brookhaven, have done better with a similar budget with their city centers. After the walking tour, community members were able to see info boards and edit street design plans.

Declaring your independence On July 4, 1776, Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence which boldly declared, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that men are created Lewis J. Walker, CFP all equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. –That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...” The only specific rights named were “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” These are “enumerated rights.” The document recognized that God is the ultimate source of human rights, “certain unalienable rights,” including those not specified in the Declaration. The latter are “unenumerated rights,” and the battle continues today to clarify what they are. The drafting of the Constitution of the United States began May 25, 1787, as the Constitutional Convention met

at the Pennsylvania State House, now Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Delaware became the first state to ratify the Constitution, Dec. 7, 1787. Rhode Island was the last to do so, May 29, 1790. In debates prelude to our next presidential election day, Nov. 3, 2020, we witness passionate rhetoric about certain rights and who is entitled to what, a tumultuous process that began at our founding. The first 10 amendments to the Constitution, ratified Dec. 15, 1791, formed the Bill of Rights. Included is freedom of religion, speech and the press; right to bear arms; protection against unreasonable search and seizures; rules for due process of law; and, reserving all powers not delegated to the federal government to the people or the states. These, too, are enumerated rights. The Bill of Rights was conceived amid heated controversy. James Wilson, a Federalist and supporter of the Constitution, argued against a Bill of Rights, concerned that enumerating specific rights could imply that any rights not listed were surrendered by citizens, justifying government’s power to limit liberties of citizens that were not enumerated. However, the Anti-Federalist demand for a Bill of Rights

was popular with the public. Resolving the argument was the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people,” a clear reference to non-specified “unenumerated rights.” Unenumerated rights include the presumption of innocence in criminal cases, rights to privacy, the right to travel within the country. Candidates for U.S. president are stumping for an expansion of enumerated rights. In a June 12, 2019, speech at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., Bernie Sanders proposed an Economic Bill of Rights that included rights to health care, affordable housing, education, a living wage and secure retirement. “Economic rights are human rights. That is what I mean by democratic socialism,” said Sanders. Here’s the rub. Enumerated rights give me a right as a citizen to legally pursue life, liberty and happiness. Nowhere do our governing documents require another citizen to pay for my exercise of those rights. If I desire quality health care, advanced education beyond public schools, decent housing, a living wage, and secure retirement, it’s up to me to attain those things without forcibly taking something away from fellow citizens. As citizens we may agree to provide aid and comfort to needy persons. We support Medicare and Medicaid; aid for veterans. We subsidize free public education through K-12. We offer disaster relief for those devastated by natural and manmade calamities. As individuals we may chose to be generous with faith-based and other charities. Conversely, we have a personal responsibility to pay for adequate levels of
insurance to fund “what if?” eventualities. Despite being endowed by our Creator with natural rights, individuals have the right to deny the existence of a Creator and live life as atheists. We continue to debate issues of religion versus the public square. Healthy and sometimes violent debate was the foundation for rights documented in the 1700s, and throughout the 1800s, a period marked by a bloody civil war over slavery and states rights. We wrestled with unjust discriminatory Jim Crow laws, culminating in the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. Freedom has never been free. It’s been paid for by those willing to “risk it all,” including loss of life, limb, and property. We will have vigorous debates about who pays for proposed free health care, free college, expanded levels of subsidized housing, a guaranteed income, a secure retirement. Who defines “a secure retirement?” Federal debt is growing exponentially. Do we borrow even more? Tax the rich? Based on 2017 data, it takes at least $718,766 in gross earnings for a couple or individual to be in the often maligned “top 1 percent.” Entry to the top 10 percent of earners takes $118,400. (Economic Policy Institute.) There are not enough “rich” to carry the financial burden. The middle class needs help, declare politicians, yet it’s the middle class that ultimately pays the bills. “A rhetorical pretzel,” you say. Exactly! Something to ponder this Independence Day.

TheCrier.net | Dunwoody Crier | July 4, 2019 | 5
Lisa Lane named for Lisa and Laine I’m always curious about the origin of street names, including Lisa Lane in Dunwoody. I had heard a story that the road was named for two sisters in the Kirby family — Lisa and Lane. Now I VALERIE have confirmation BIGGERSTAFF of that story from Lane herself, except her name is spelled Laine. Laine Kirby Wood and her family grew up in a 19th century farmhouse on what is now Lisa Lane. Laine’s father, Stephen Kirby, came from Jasper, Georgia, to Dunwoody in 1916 with his siblings and parents, Tolleson and Laura Little Kirby. The last leg of their trip was on the Roswell Railroad from Chamblee. The Kirby family purchased 40 acres from Scott Powers, along what is called Pitts Road today. During the time they lived there, the road was known as Little Kirby Row. Laine remembers well the houses that her extended family owned along Little Kirby Road, including her Aunt Sue, Uncle Max and Uncle T. J. In later years, the Kirby family had a home and dairy next to New Hope Presbyterian Church. The church was located near where KinderCare is today on Chamblee Dunwoody Road. Moving to this new location allowed the children to be able to attend Dunwoody School. In the 1940s, Stephen Kirby and his wife Mary Bob Bishop Kirby bought a home off Mount Vernon Road on 25
acres with a lake, pond, and creek. Their property was on the border of DeKalb and Fulton County, extending down to Peachtree Dunwoody Road. Their street was first known as Gresham, then Star Route. Later, Laine’s parents named the road for Laine and her younger sister, Lisa. It became Lisa Laine Road. When the county came in years later, the name was shortened to Lisa Lane and the correct spelling of Laine’s name was lost in the process. The house was in Fulton County, so Laine attended Hammond and Guy Webb Elementary School, and North Springs and Ridgeview High Schools. She also attended the Annie Houze Cook School for first grade due to a fire at Hammond School. Laine Kirby Wood taught horseback riding at the Baptist Church assembly grounds which were located on the former estate of Judge Sam Hewlett and which is now part of Island Ford Park. There were various outdoor activities at this retreat by the Chattahoochee River. She would ride her own horse to the camp, stopping for water at local creeks. She remembers riding her horse through what is now Hidden Branches Subdivision. Another memory of Laine’s is of Pappy (Sentell) Spruill who ran the post office out of the small country store at Mount Vernon Road and Chamblee Dunwoody Road, where BP is now located. She remembers his blacksmith shop and home that sat where Dunwoody Baptist Church is today. It was a farmhouse with a tin roof, dirt yard, and front porch where family and neighbors would gather. Later, he
sold this land to the church and moved into the parsonage home where Publix is located on Chamblee Dunwoody Road. Mary Bob Kirby died in 1976, and Steve Kirby sold the property and house two years later due to high property taxes. Laine Kirby Wood is a Publishers Rep for Georgia Magazine and recently co-founded the Etowah Film Festival in Canton. She is happiest outdoors and was looking forward to an upcoming kayaking trip when we spoke. Thank you to Laine for sharing her memories of Dunwoody and Sandy Springs.

OPINION
Doing what comes naturally You may not be old enough to recall those words as the title of a song in “Annie Get Your Gun,” but as soon as I typed them, the song sprang to mind — not that this column has anything to do with singing. I KATHY can assure you that MANOS PENN singing doesn’t come naturally to me, but I’ve discovered that writing does. I write daily, often for hours, but I’d never really thought about where my writing ability came from until my friend Rob Paley asked me to edit his memoir. Yes, I have two degrees in English, wrote and edited throughout my corporate career, and am a columnist and author today; but all of that still doesn’t explain why writing and editing come so naturally to me. I majored in English because I loved reading, not because I had a yearning to write. And I briefly taught English because that’s what you did with an
English degree back in the day. When I went to work for a bank, somehow long before I realized it, others saw that I could write. Because it came easily to me, I didn’t think it was anything special. Instead, I was always amazed by my co-workers who could analyze numbers and produce spreadsheets — skills that in my book amounted to rocket science. And so when Rob was blown away at how my virtual red pen transformed his work, I was surprised. The more he sang my praises and wondered aloud how I did it, the more I began to look back and wonder myself. After all, not all those who major in English go on to be writers, so why did I? I explained to him that both my sisters
are avid readers and are also well-written though they weren’t English majors. I may be the family grammar geek, but we’re all word nerds, and my youngest sister regularly slaughters me at Words with Friends. Of course, a good vocabulary and good grammar do not a good writer make. Our conversation prompted some introspection and produced an aha moment. I’d forgotten that my father had begun writing a novel before he passed away at age 51. He briefly attended Brooklyn College, long enough to lose his Brooklyn accent, but not nearly long enough to pursue a degree. And yet, in his 40s, he started a novel. Pondering the nature vs. nurture question was a logical next step. The nature side of the equation would say that we three girls
inherited a penchant for words and writing from our father. Perhaps for me, years of writing in corporate America nurtured that penchant until it flourished. While experts debate whether it’s nature or nurture that has the most influence, I’ve never thought that one had to be dominant, and I think both have shaped who I am. Now back to Rob and his book. “The Last Salute: The True Story of a West Point Cadet’s Dream to Honor His Dying Father” is a must-read. Face it — not all memoirs are intriguing or even interesting. It takes talent to weave a true story into a compelling tale, one you can’t put down. As he writes in the introduction, it’s “a story of love, sacrifice, honor, and forgiveness.” It’s a story about a father and a son and a mother’s love and devotion. As compensation for editing the book, I requested two signed copies and two tickets to the movie premiere when Hollywood picks it up. That should tell you how highly I think of it. I see Rob’s writing as masterful, but only he can tell us whether it also “comes naturally.” Kathy is a Sandy Springs resident.

St. Pius X girls basketball wraps up summer preparations By Luke Winstel For The Crier The St. Pius X girls basketball team’s summer preparation have concluded. The team participated in several scrimmages and journeyed to a team camp at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. In recent months, the team has battled through multiple injuries, leading to an increase in playing time for some of the younger athletes. The Golden Lions graduated only two seniors last year but lost impact shooter
and all-region scorer, Emma Drash. Post Wylie Sheridan is expected to emerge as one of the leaders of the team because of her spectacular inside scoring and rebounding presence. Third-year varsity juniors Lindsey Broadway, Georgie Dooley and Anna Elizabeth Whitlark have stepped up and performed well throughout the summer games. Following injuries to two of the team’s top point guards, including returning starter Karis Coleman, Isabella Franco has emerged at the helm of the offense. The team expects several freshmen to
contribute in their rookie seasons. “They are basketball-first players, so they don’t split time with another sport,” said coach Kyle Snipes. “We have several multi-sport kids, and when you mix them with basketball-first players it helps elevate how everyone plays.” Snipes is pleased with the progress his team has made this summer. “The older kids were receptive of the younger kids and vice versa,” he said. “It was a good blend. It helps when everyone in the program is on the same page with what we are wanting to do offensively and
defensively for the first time in a while.” The Golden Lions are changing their defense for the first time in years. Snipes explained that the shift in defenses will make the team and program better. “Being comfortable with the new defense and understanding the changes will help us in the long run, especially with more practice once October gets here,” he said. The team will open the season against Cherokee Bluff on November 19, looking to build on a AAAA Sweet 16 campaign one season ago.
Q+A
Volleyball state champion Maggie McCurdy steps into leadership position for Golden Lions By Luke Winstel For The Crier In 2018, the St. Pius X volleyball team seized the second state title in program history. Maggie McCurdy, a key returning senior, will be stepping into a leadership position for the Golden Lions. We asked her a few questions about last year’s title run and the upcoming season.
championship trophy with your teammates? A: “It was amazing. We had worked so hard to get to that moment and I was so happy. All of my nerves from the game, especially from the last few points, went away and it felt so good to hold up that trophy.“
Q: How would you describe your experience during last year’s playoff run, ending with the 4A title? A: “All of the games leading up to the championship were super intense. After each win we got more excited, especially when we heard we would be playing Marist. I had a lot of fun with my team in the playoffs, but it was also very scary. We faced some really tough opponents, and the wins were very rewarding.”
Q: What was it like playing Marist in a championship game in front of a great crowd? A: “It was actually very scary. I usually like to play in front of a crowd, I think it makes me play better. This crowd made me nervous. I was happy to see all of the St. Pius fans there, but there were also a ton of Marist fans. Most of us were hoping we would get to play Marist in the championship because they are our biggest rivals and we knew the crowd would be insane.”
Q: What thoughts were going through your head when you lifted the state
Q: How did the team integrate so many freshman and underclassmen

onto the team so quickly last year? A: “We had such an amazing group of seniors last year. They were very inclusive and encouraging. They were some of my closest friends and the nicest people ever, so the underclassmen were not nervous to join the team.” Q: Heading into this season, how would you describe the “vibe” or feeling around the team, as offseason preparations continue? A: “I am really excited for this year. I feel like we can be just as close of a family as we were last year, and being a family got us to the championship.” Q: What is the biggest change or difference from last year’s team to this year’s team? A: “We haven’t had tryouts yet, but I think the upcoming underclassmen have a lot of talent. One of the biggest changes is that this year there will be fewer seniors, and we will be a young
team. I am hoping the few of us can step up and take big leadership roles to push the team forward.” Q: What is the team’s biggest strength at this point in the year? A: “Right now, we have a very strong foundation for new players to join and build upon. The team from last year is still very connected, and I know the new players will be connected as well.” Q: What is the biggest thing that the team has been working on in the summer? A: “So far this summer, we have been lifting weights and practicing our skills at open gyms. Soon, we will have team camp, which is the first time that we all play together in game settings to see how we play.” The team will begin their title defense on August 6 at home against Lovett High School.

Summer home improvements Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Summer is in full swing and now is the perfect time to take advantage of the beautiful warm weather while taking care of your home and improving some things around the house. There are many easy ways that you can improve your home as listed below. Rawlings Paint: A fresh, crisp coat of paint will go a long way and won’t break the bank. Not only can it help raise your home’s sales price, it is also one of the most effective and affordable ways to modernize your home. Invest in new windows: Replace old windows before the cold winter months are here again. Energy-efficient windows are a great improvement that can help lower your energy costs in addition to keeping your
home warm and cozy during the winter. Stain Your Deck: Staining your deck is a wonderful way to revamp your home. After a long few months of wear and tear from rain, snow and sun, it can be time for a fresh coat of stain. This will help to maintain the deck’s surface over time and improve overall appearance. Fence Replacement: Getting a fence provides many benefits beyond curb appeal. A fence allows your animals to roam freely in the yard while also creating privacy and serving as a safety net for children to play during the warmer summer months. These summer home improvements will not only give your home an easy makeover for the summer, but can also boost the overall value of your home just in time for the fall market. If you are planning to sell your Atlanta home this year, an experienced real estate agent can work with you to help you make the most of this seller’s market. For an appointment, call Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty at 770.442.7300.

Holy Innocents’ hosts prestigious summer hoops camp Dunwoody Crier 7/4/19 Crossword
By Dunn Neugebauer For The Crier The basketballs never stop bouncing at Holy Innocents’. This summer the hoops’ successes continued as the Sandy Springs school was selected to host the Inaugural USA Basketball Gold Camp. Not only that, head girls’ coach Nichole Dixon was selected as the lead coach for the girls’ gold camp, while Holli Wilkins, Daniel Sugars and Drake Hudgins were named court coaches. Dixon recently guided the Lady Bears to a Class A-Private state championship in March, as they topped rival Wesleyan in the finals. “This is the only camp in the country for middle school student/athletes; it was a national pilot clinic to identify girls in their earlier years,” Dixon said. “I was also honored to get to ask coaches from around the area, which is and was a great way to form relationships with
other coaches, both public and private.” The boys camp was at the regional level. Newly appointed HIES coach Cabral Huff worked as court coach with the middle school boys. Huff was appointed to his new position last spring after successful stints at both the high school and collegiate levels. All in all, Gold Camp consisted of two days for both girls and boys — the last Sunday and Monday in June — with the event held for 7th and 8th grade rising stars. It was a part of the official USA Basketball Youth Development division, which is a branch of the national governing body of hoops in the United States. The camps serve in a feeder variety in finding talent for 16U, 17U and 18U national teams that compete across the world each year. USA Basketball Gold Camps focus on enhanced skill development for 7th and 8th grade girls and boys while emphasizing basketball fundamentals and
progressive development through station work, group drills and competition. In order to attend, each “hoopster hopeful” had to go through an application process, which included sending in individual game films for evaluation. The camp had players from Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Carolina, to name only some. One player came over from Dubai in the Middle East. Some 48 players were then selected to participate. Besides the two days of instruction and activities, head USA Basketball Junior National coach Don Showalter also visited and put the players through “skills and drills” while discussing the USA “Gold Standard.” Showalter is a 10team USA basketball gold-medalist head coach. Four Golden Bears were chosen to compete at the camp, including Hailee Swain, Brooke Suttle, Zaynah Preston, and Ciara Alexander. “Holy Innocents’ was a destination
for people from across the country and the world – that’s big,” Dixon said. Her individual success continued even after the camp, as she was asked by Showalter to come to Iowa in late July and work another prestigious USA camp. Solution B O S C
