Mayor discusses lessons learned from first months of COVID-19 By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody Mayor Lynn Deutsch discussed the lessons she has learned while leading a city during a public health crisis at a virtual event organized by the Dunwoody Perimeter Chamber. The June 25 event was the last installment of the Chamber’s “Returning to the Perimeter” series. Deutsch speculated on how COVID-19 might change the city long-term but emphasized that the community is not out of the woods yet. “We’re still so much in the thick of this public health crisis, it’s hard to see what’s on the other side,” she said. “Everyone still needs to take care — wash your hands, wear your mask, continue to social distance, stay home if you don’t feel well — but we’re going to get through it together.” When asked what the hardest choice she has had to make since becoming

She thanked the city staff for making the transition as seamless as possible from a city operations standpoint.
“I’m really proud of how prepared our city staff was,” Deutsch said. “They saw that something might need to change for how people worked, so they prepared for people to work from home, with the proper security, and that everybody had the needed technology. When we shut down around March 13, the work of the city continued uninterrupted.” She said she was also proud that the city kept its parks and trails open. “It was very important to me that residents had a place to go where they could safely exercise,” Deutsch said. “Mental health is just as big of a concern as physical health, so keeping our trails and green space open was key to allowing people to exercise.” The biggest shortcoming of the initial response to the crisis, Deutsch said, was the lack of coordination with surrounding cities, the county and state government.

Deadline nears for revised list of ATL transit projects By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The metro region’s transit planning agency will close entries July 10 for a Call for Projects it issued last month to give project sponsors the opportunity to submit new or make updates/changes to existing projects. The Atlanta Region Transit Link Authority (the ATL) is studying close to 200 projects for funding in the 13-county metro region, including DeKalb, Fulton
and Forsyth counties. The newly submitted and updated projects will form the basis of short-term (six-year) and longterm (20-year) transit priorities for the region. The prioritized project lists are
designed to give the agency a strategy to help target additional state and federal investments, according to Deidre Johnson, ATL public information officer. The final plan will be submitted to the Atlanta Regional Commission late this year for inclusion in the federally required short-range Transportation Improvement Program and the long-range Regional Transportation Plan. The documents guide allocation of federal, state and local funding for all regionally significant transportation investment in the Atlanta Region.
At its June board of director’s meeting, the ATL board reviewed a timeline that will allow it to finalize a regional transportation program report by the end of the year. Over the course of the summer, projects will be prioritized based on the ATL’s Project Performance Framework as well as prioritized by the project timelines identified and submitted by individual agencies, cities and counties.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — The rescheduled All Saints St. Vincent de Paul food drive will take place the weekend of July 18-19. St. Vincent de Paul is asking for donations to help replenish its food pantry and to provide support during the pandemic. Volunteers will be available to collect donations before and after masses Saturday, July 18 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, July 19 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at All Saints Catholic Church, 2443 Mount Vernon Road in Dunwoody. Volunteers are working to ensure a safe environment for those planning to donate food. All volunteers will wear masks at the food donation station. There is no need to exit your car. Simply pull up to the donation station, and a volunteer will remove the donated items from your trunk. The drive-thru donation station will be located in the rear drive in front of the Scout Hut. Once your donations have been received, you can slowly exit the drive-thru station.
Transit: Continued from Page 1 The schedule also calls for another series of “district downloads,” town-hallstyle information sessions that will be held in early fall at different locations throughout the region. The latest list of projects range in cost and scope from CobbLinc’s $800,000 transit signal priority plan to MARTA’s $1.4 billion proposed heavy rail line to Stonecrest in DeKalb County. Other projects with varying price tags include renovation of pedestrian bridges at $6.3 million and MARTA’s North Fulton bus rapid transit service along Ga. 400 at $300 million. Last fall, the ATL staff culled the original project list to 79 projects that have been identified as having assumed federal or state discretionary funding sources. The

The St. Vincent de Paul food drive will take place July 18 to 19.
Some of the most needed items for the food pantry include 1-to-2-pound bags of rice, peanut butter, canned green beans and other vegetables, beef ravioli, macaroni and cheese, canned tuna, canned chicken and canned salmon. For more information about St. Vincent de Paul and the upcoming food drive, please visit bit.ly/2BCDxFy. 79 projects were evaluated based on 14 criteria that basically rated their impact. Each project was then assigned a numerical value and charted based on how much bang it would provide for the buck, according to Lori Sand, planner with the ATL. The ATL has scheduled three meetings this month. The Transit Planning Committee is set to hear a 2020 Legislative Session review and discuss a presentation on Gwinnett County’s plan to schedule another referendum on MARTA rail service. Gwinnett County commissioners voted June 16 to lay the groundwork to give county voters the opportunity — possibly this fall — to adopt a special sales tax to fund incorporation into the transit system, which serves DeKalb, Fulton and Clayton counties. Gwinnett voters rejected the idea in a referendum held in March 2019, but proponents say the issue might fare better if placed on the ballot during the presidential election.
“Dunwoody has five cities that touch our border,” she said. “At one point, all six of us had different rules. It was terribly impractical and very frustrating.” Deutsch also recognized that the lockdown has had a drastic negative effect on Dunwoody’s small businesses. She spoke on the steps the city has taken to support those businesses, like allowing more outdoor dining and “shop local” social media campaigns. “We have residents of Dunwoody who own restaurants in other communities, and they say they haven’t seen anything like what we’ve done Dunwoody anywhere else,” she said. “That makes me really proud.” Deutsch encouraged residents to continue to support local businesses and to do their part to slow the spread of the virus, such as by wearing masks and keeping six feet apart. “For offices to open successfully, for the Georgia economy to fully reopen and to keep Georgians safe, we need everyone to work toward slowing the spread,” she said. “I have said many times during this crisis that we never know what someone else is going through. We don’t know their situation at home. We don’t know what health challenges they may have.” Deutsch also discussed how contact tracing and testing play important roles in fighting the spread. She said the constantly shifting guidelines can be confusing and frustrating, but that it’s important to remember this is a new virus. “While the virus itself is still here and still the same virus that it was in March, we have learned so much more,” she said. “The virus is still out there, and people still need to be careful.” The conversation was moderated by Dunwoody Communication Director Jennifer Boettcher. A recording of the entire event can be found on the Dunwoody Perimeter Chamber Facebook page.

Area veterans, Korean Consul diplomats mark 70th anniversary of Korean War By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Ambassadors from South Korea’s Atlanta consulate recently paid a visit to Johns Creek to recognize the 70th anniversary of the Korean War. About 60 people gathered at the Korean War plaza at the Veterans Memorial Walk in Newtown Park to honor the troops and civilians who lost their lives in the fight for freedom and democracy in Korea. The event was organized by the Korean American Association of Greater Atlanta. The war began June 25, 1950, when 75,000 North Korean troops marched across the 38th parallel into South Korea. In South Korea, the war is usually referred to as the 6.25 upheaval, reflecting the date of its commencement. By July, American troops had entered the war to defend democratic South Korea against the Soviet-backed North Korea forces. The Korean War ended in July 1953, after nearly 5 million people had died. More than half of the casualties — about 10 percent of Korea’s prewar population
Area veterans, along with diplomats from South Korea’s Atlanta consulate, gathered at Johns Creek’s Veterans Memorial Walk June 25 to recognize the 70th anniversary of the start of the Korean War. — were civilians. Around 40,000 Americans died in action in Korea, and more than 100,000 were wounded. “I never realized how much that war meant to people there in terms of just how much upheaval there was,” said Johns Creek Councilman John Bradberry, who was a featured speaker at the event. “There were more civilian deaths

as a percentage of the population than Vietnam or World War II. That was eyeopening.” In the U.S., some refer to Korea as “the Forgotten War” for the lack of attention it receives relative to conflicts like World War II and the Vietnam War. “I’m always glad to honor the people that served,” said Bradberry, a Marine veteran himself. “I think that for the people from Korea, obviously there’s a reason that so many of them eventually came to the United States. It’s because there was so much destruction, pain and sacrifice. For them, it’s still very important.” Around 3,000 Koreans or people of Korean ancestry live in Johns Creek, and 53,000 live in the state of Georgia, according to U.S. Census Data. “When I spoke, I just encouraged everyone to share their stories because a lot of people, especially the younger generation, have no idea about what happened,” Bradberry said. “Korean Americans a lot of times are some of the most patriotic Americans because they understand what was at stake.”

THE INVESTMENT COACH
Control what you can control Jack Welch, business guru and storied former CEO of General Electric declared, “Control your own destiny or someone else will.” Or “something else will,” we add. LEWIS J. WALKER, CFP That “something else” may be the press, with an avalanche of dour stories that leave you feeling that the world as you know it is fracturing, tenuous, changing, hostile. You get the impression that the pandemic, politics, civil unrest, the stock market, or whatever, is signaling radical change that could upend your assumptions about the future. “This changes everything” is the mantra du jour. Okay, I get it. With a drumbeat of alarming pronouncements from cable and network news assaulting your brain, cell phone intrusions, bloggers, Twitter alerts, and Zoom meetings with more questions than answers, it’s hard to develop and maintain perspective. Technology and our wired world make it
harder to unplug, but chaos and uncertainty aren’t new. Walk down Memory Lane to the tumult surrounding the Vietnam War protests, bombings, and riots, and then climb back up through energy shortages, recessions, market crashes, 9/11, wars, prior pandemics, etc. Look at timelines involving your immediate family or close friends. There were challenges, setbacks, losses, as well as triumphs and joy along the way. With America, with your family, with companies, hard times pave the way for overcoming, for progress, reinvention. What’s the common denominator in advancements over time? A vision of a goal and future outcome, a willingness to take prudent risks, and a plan to get there. Sean Covey, son of the famous motivational guru, Steven Covey, wrote “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.” He wisely advised, “If you decide to just go with the flow, you’ll end up where the flow goes, which is usually downhill, often leading to a big pile of sludge and a life of unhappiness. You’ll end up doing what everyone else is doing.” Floating a stream on a hot summer

day can seem like a pleasant diversion, until the dam upriver releases a cascade of water and swamps your raft, you’re swept over a waterfall, get sucked into a whirlpool, crash into a rock, and to top it off, you’re a bad swimmer. Daily life is an exercise in risk. A survival plan is basic. When it comes to finances, a friend in Florida, Dan Moisand, CFP, writing in the June 2020 Journal of Financial Planning, noted, “When I see someone made a bad financial decision, I can usually trace the problem back to a lack of a plan, a bad plan, abandoning a good plan, or failing to revise a plan as needed.” Perhaps the term “financial plan” is a misnomer. What you need is a “life plan,” but even that term may be too sweeping. You face myriad challenges, life transitions of one kind or another, related to your journey across the years as you surf your personal age wave along with traveling companions who are part of your life, some with you for much of the duration, those you love and care for. Ideally you have long-range plans related to family, career, various stages of life, and your earthly mission, considering your immortal soul. Depending on where you are on the age continuum, life transition challenges may involve education and training, marriage, the arrival of children, buying a house, starting a business, selling a business interest, career decisions and changes, relocations, planning for retirement, taking care of aging loved ones. You know there are risks to everything you do, and strategies to manage risks are part of a prudent plan. If you’re hiking a wilderness trail, you worry about wild animals and hidden dangers in the unfamiliar landscape. In the journey through life, you must have a plan, alternatives, resources and trail guides
to deal with various challenges, including the 5Ds that can derail assumptions and the status quo, including a business or career disability, death, disagreement, divorce, dissolution. Financial planning, better termed, “financial life planning,” deals with the money aspect of life transitions planning, including the “what if’s?” surrounding any envisioned goal or future. The COVID-19 experience has us being more introspective, contemplating timelines and what’s really important. Has your experience raised questions about relationships, including your personal, work, community, and spiritual families? What do you plan to do about altering plans in response to revised thinking and new questions? Have you missed the “coffee conversations,” the personal exchange of greetings and ideas, getting “out and about?” Have time frames changed relative to potential life transitions, especially big ones like marriage, children, career, succession, retirement? The great pandemic reset is underway. Go with the flow or take the helm and captain your ship? Be buffeted by vicissitudes or harness change for goal actualization? What’s the role of money, given challenges and aspirations? If you have more questions than answers, that’s what life transitions planning counsel is for.

A cat’s life in quarantine Mum let me take over the keyboard for this week’s column, and I’m betting my writing will appeal to you way more than hers. Please be sure to let us know! I am an indoor KATHY kitty, so my life MANOS PENN hasn’t changed all that much in regards to where I get to go. My exposure to the outdoors is limited to the screened porch, occasional forays to the deck — under supervision — and watching the birdfeeder outside the living room window. It’s my pet parents who have changed. I mean they hardly leave the house, and since I’m in charge of my domain, I consider their constant presence an infringement of my rights. Picture me in Dad’s office, or the men’s room as he refers to it. Usually, I have my pick of lounging spots — his desk chair, his recliner, the floor next to the recliner, a
spot beneath the desk, or sometimes his lap. These days, I find myself constantly being run out of one of his chairs. It’s enough to make a girl crazy. Why must he spend so much time in that room? Times were, he’d sit at his desk briefly to look at the computer and then be gone for at least eight hours. Now? He can be found spending hours in his desk chair, lounging in his recliner watching the Military Channel or napping. It’s too noisy in there for a good catnap. Now, Mum’s office is very quiet as usual. The only disturbance is her tapping on her keyboard, which I’m accustomed to. Still, she’s in there an awful lot lately — no midday trips to her gym or lunch. My routine was to accompany her to her office after breakfast, leap on the desk to get multiple treats, and then retire to the Dad’s office or to the bedroom to snooze — on the bed or in the easy chair near the window. But, and this a big but, any time Dad walks into Mum’s office or Mum comes and goes from the office, I feel dutybound to visit for a few treats. If I don’t, she may be require re-training. The problem is that Dad pops in and out of her office all day long now. I am forever having to be alert — okay, that may be a stretch — so I don’t miss an opportunity for a treat. It used to be Dad made only a few visits to Mum’s headquarters. These days? He is in and

out constantly. I think he has a severe case of the fidgets, and Mum agrees with me. Mum and I think he interrupts way too much. So much so that Mum has begun referring to me as Tubby Cat because I’m eating too many treats. Of course, she’s one to talk, since she says the virus has shrunk her jeans. The good news is it’s summertime and Dad is spending more time on the screened porch, so Mum and I are getting some quiet time up here on the second floor. And yesterday, he ventured out to the shooting range. That meant Mum and I got to relax on the porch in peace. She pondered who the victim would be in her next book, and I chirped at the hummingbirds visiting the feeder. Are you wondering why the porch isn’t peaceful when Dad’s on it? The answer is he listens to all those silly videos people send him no matter what room he’s in, and it drives me and Mum nuts. We two are big believers in silence. Can you hear me purring Ohm? And do you see Mum right next to me doing the same? Repeat after me: This too shall pass. A girl can dream, right? Princess Puddin’ Penn resides in Sandy Springs with Kathy Manos Penn.

Live-in care can be the answer during COVID-19 Brought to You by — Home Helpers Home Care As you and your older loved one are faced with the increasing challenges posed by COVID-19 and consider how to face current health care issues, it’s time to consider the long-term benefits, increased safety and potential cost savings of live-in care. Providing appropriate care for those most at risk during a pandemic makes this a wonderful alternative that may be a perfect fit. What is Live-In Care? In time, we all need some help and in-home care provides both personal care and emotional support. Whether in your own home or an assisted living community, challenges like decreased mobility, increased fall dangers, occasional night time help or conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s may make 24-hour support a necessary and ideal choice. Here’s how 24-hour live-in care works. A heart-centered skilled Home Helpers caregiver lives in your older loved one’s home for at least four or five days a week, with another live-in caregiver completing the weekly schedule. The caregiver supplies all the daytime support care needed and sleeps there, so they are available at night for minimal quick toileting assistance or when emergencies might happen. A caregiver needs five hours of uninterrupted sleep and eight hours total sleep for a good night’s rest. They will also take a break at opportune times, like when your loved one is napping, but always be there to provide a safe and secure environment. The continuity of care a live-in caregiver provides is a major benefit for your older loved one. One-on-one care is round the clock, totally customized and
dedicated to their special needs. There are only two caregivers involved, well trained in infection control. The warm emotional bonds formed with a carefully selected caregiver can truly help with the social isolation that can be devastating during these times. With no shift changes during a day, this reliability and constancy can create a safe, calming environment for your older loved one. There are many additional advantages to live-in care. Cost savings can be considerable, as live-in care has a daily versus hourly fee. You get the security of 24-hour assistance but don’t pay for sleep time for the caregiver. Your older loved one stays in their home with the familiar belongings and surroundings they prefer, or even remain with a beloved pet and still have the space, privacy and independence they desire. During the increased challenges posed by a pandemic, a carefully matched live-in caregiver provides the security of a trained professional who can make sure connections with family members are maintained, manage safe interactions with friends and neighbors, handle package or food deliveries safely and allow your older loved one to thrive. Our caregivers wear protective gear like face masks and gloves when appropriate, can take frequent temperature readings, check vital signs and prompt frequent hand washing. A carefully screened, trained and heart centered Home Helpers caregiver not only brings skills, but a heart centered approach that provides the best quality of life for our clients and their families. For a free in-home consultation to determine if live-in care is right for you, contact Home Helpers Home Care today at (678) 430-8511. www.homehelpershomecare.com
