City cites slow ambulance response times The action, taken by the Dunwoody City Council July 8, follows eight months of slow ambulance response times By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody has officially declared DeKalb County in violation of an agreement adopted last fall for emergency medical services. The action, taken by the Dunwoody City Council July 8, follows eight months of ambulance response times that failed to meet benchmarks set in the memorandum of under standing between the two governments. The resolution also comes a week
before Dunwoody’s regional EMS ad hoc committee meets to discuss whether the city warrants its own ambulance zone. The committee meets at 10 a.m. July 18 in Dunwoody City Hall. “You don’t come back after the first month and say you missed it, now you’re in breach,” Councilman Terry Nall said. “You don’t do it the second month; you don’t do it the third. I would argue though that eight months later, it’s time to do that, because we’ve seen no improvement with this.” The goal set in the MOU is 9 minutes
Response times improved even further in the second quarter, averaging 9 minutes 11 seconds, according to county reports. “The first person on the scene — if they are trained — they are the key to that individual’s survival,” Shortal said. “The service we’ve got today is far superior to any service we’ve had.” DeKalb County has also complied with other parts of the MOU, he said, including providing three static ambulance units at each Dunwoody fire station and one additional unit during peak times. Before last fall’s agreement, there were no dedicated ambulances in Dunwoody.
or less for 90 percent of calls. Ambulance response times for life-threatening calls for April, May and June were four minutes longer than the benchmark on 90 percent of calls. Mayor Denis Shortal argues that response times should not be the only relevant statistic to determine whether Dunwoody and DeKalb are getting sufficient EMS coverage. The resolution passed 6-1, with Shortal casting the lone dissent. The mayor pointed to first responder times for life-threatening calls that meet the criteria set in the memorandum of understanding. In the first quarter of 2019, first responders arrived in 8 minutes 57 seconds or less for 90 percent of life-threatening calls.

Police ask public to return money from I-285 cash car free-for-all By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com
DUNWOODY, Ga. — An armored car westbound on I-285 truly made it rain July 9. While making its usual rounds, a Garda security vehicle pulled onto the shoulder near Ashford Dunwoody Road. While parked, the vehicle’s side door malfunctioned and two large bags of money spilled out an estimated $175,000 in cash, Dunwoody Police Department’s Sgt. Robert Parsons said. When the two bags fell out of the truck, the cash went “airborne,” Parsons said. Videos from WSB TV and different citizens’ videos on social media show dozens of people picking up cash from the middle of the highway. But police are asking citizens to return that money and do the right thing. So far six people have returned a total of $4,400 to police. Police could knock on doors and try

to find people through license plates found on the social media videos, Parsons said, but that’s unlikely. “It was illegal to take it,” he said. “We certainly understand that at the end of the day there will be a lot of money that isn’t returned, and it just is what it is.” Luckily, no one got hurt during the 10 minute scramble, Parsons said, and by the time police arrived on scene, the people picking up money were gone and police grabbed up what was left of the cash. Garda is conducting an internal investigation into what exactly happened that caused the car to pull over and the door to malfunction, Parsons said. The Crier has reached out to Garda for comment, but have not yet received a reply. Garda has not yet said whether the money lost was insured or to whom it belonged. Police suspect there are still dozens of people who have not returned their share of the cash. All items were recovered and returned to the business. She was placed under arrest and transported to DeKalb County Jail.

While shopping, the woman is alleged to have swapped out the shoes on her feet with a new pair in the box. Also, authorities said that when she arrived at checkout, the woman paid for select items while concealing stolen items underneath those that were purchased. She was also seen with a stolen rug placed under her cart. As the woman continued out the store with the cart, she was stopped and escorted back inside to the loss prevention office.

one stole money from his vehicle parked outside of his residence on Chardonnay Court July 4. The man told authorities he returned to his 2015 Ford Edge left unlocked in his driveway and noticed that $30 in cash and $150 in gift cards were missing from the center console. There were no cameras recording the incident. Police recovered five fingerprint cards from the two front doors and placed them into evidence.
Woman buys gift cards in computer security scam DUNWOODY, Ga. — A woman reported that a fake security technician called her July 4 and tricked her into buying gift cards to pay for repairs The victim said the caller told her that she did not have firewall protection on her computer and would need to have viruses removed. He requested that she purchase $2,000 in Walmart gift cards and $4,000 in Visa gift cards and provide him the card numbers so that he could remove the virus himself. When returning to Walmart the following day, she attempted to purchase another $2,000 in gift cards before loss prevention employees suggested to her that she may be the victim of fraud. She notified authorities that she would stop purchasing the gift cards and called her bank.
Residents announce Dunwoody Police Foundation
A group of Dunwoody residents has announced formation of the Dunwoody Police Foundation, Inc., a charitable organization dedicated to improving policing by financially supporting the Dunwoody Police Department and its personnel. Led by President Rick Holland, a seven-member board of directors began meeting in April 2019 to complete legal and business steps to make the foundation a reality. “On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Dunwoody Police Department, the formation of this foundation is a fitting tribute to the excellence in policing that we enjoy in the City of Dunwoody,” Holland said. “We salute all those who have served with distinction in our city’s first decade, and, we seek to support continued excellence in public safety as a defining characteristic of the Dunwoody community.” Police Chief Billy Grogan offered his endorsement of the initiative. “A key ingredient to a safe city is having a supportive community that works closely with their police department,” he said. “Fortunately, we have always had that positive relationship with our community here in Dunwoody. With the formation of the Dunwoody Police Foundation, I am confident the department and citizens working together can accomplish even more to keep Dunwoody safe.” The goal of the Dunwoody Police Foundation is to improve public safety for the officers and citizens of Dunwoody. The organization supports Dunwoody Police Department employees through the acceptance and management of taxdeductible gifts and contributions. The principal purposes of the foundation are to ensure the establishment of an emergency aid program to benefit officers and their families; provide specialized training for staff or officers; support the purchase of special equipment; support community partnerships through educational materials; and sponsor community events to enhance public safety and quality of life in Dunwoody. Joining Holland as founding board members are Kathleen Brandt, Lawrence B. Domenico, Police Chief Grogan, Carolyn Riticher, CPA, Mark Twiner, PE, and Heyward Wescott.

Laughter reigns at the Stage Door By Gayle & Rob Suggs For The Crier It’s never the wrong moment for a Neil Simon comedy. Stage Door Players have brought us some good ones in the past: “The Odd Couple” and “Barefoot in the Park” in recent years, just to name a couple. “Laughter on the 23rd Floor” is a special, very personal Simon piece. It’s based on his formative days writing for early television, namely Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows.” What a time. Multiple giants somehow fit themselves into Caesar’s writing rooms: Mel Brooks; Simon; Larry Gelbart; even Woody Allen, at a later time. It’s difficult to imagine the chemical reaction of pouring such combustible comic geniuses into one potion; but Simon helps us do that. The year is 1953, and Lucas Brickman, the playwright’s alter-ego, introduces the audience to the characters and their workday activities, which included just about everything but actual writing. An Eisenhower-era ADHD convention, held in a loony bin, might look something like this. Each writer has his own special schtick, his own personal brand of neurosis that helps him be funny. But comedy heaven is threatened by network melodrama (and the Caesar character, Max Prince, is a world-class melodramatic). NBC is wary; isn’t a network always wary? It wants “more crap” on the show, and less, you know, thinking stuff. The sponsors “sell crap”; shouldn’t the content match? Prince wants to take his stand, to rage against the machine, to fight back. The writers aren’t so feisty; they need the paychecks. Meanwhile, Sen. Joe McCarthy’s anti-communist crusade is drawing too close for comfort. Like seemingly everything in pop culture these days, the play hits a jangling, contemporary note here and there. But you’ll be laughing too hard to stop and think about it. Director Kate Donadio MacQueen’s production is both smooth and hilarious from start to finish, and it goes by far too quickly. The talented cast includes Matt Baum (Kenny), Erin Burnett (Carol), Mark Gray (Milt), David Allen Grindstaff (Ira), Shaun MacLean (Lucas), Daniel Parvis (Brian), and Doyle Reynolds (Val) as the writers. Stage Door’s Artistic Director Robert Egizio takes a turn on the boards as Max Prince, while Rachel Frawley portrays his zany secretary. These wonderful actors will keep you laughing all while reminding us why we put on a brave face and keep trying to make great work.
The production team includes J.D. Williams (lighting design), Chuck Welcome (set design/scenic artist), Rial Ellsworth (sound design), Jim Alford (costume design), Kathy Ellsworth (properties design), George Deavours (wig design), and Bill Byrne (stage manager). “Laughter on the 23rd Floor” continues through Aug. 4 with performances at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and at 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. There is one additional performance on Thursday, Aug. 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $33 for adults, $30 for seniors, $22 for students and $15 for youth under 12 years. Please be advised this show contains mature language. Stage Door Players is located in the North DeKalb Cultural Arts Center, 5339 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody and on the web at www.stagedoorplayers.net. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 770-3961726.

A roller coaster day I always feel as though I’m taking my life in my hands when we drive downtown during rush hour, and I’m thankful it’s not something I do often. My husband had a follow-up doctor’s visit at Emory KATHY Midtown one mornMANOS PENN ing, and the first bit of good news was we made it down there without mishap. The next bright spot was a good report from his doctor, though we left with a list of other doctors he needs to see. A few of those appointments can be made out here at Pill Hill so that was more good news. As we started home, my husband suggested lunch at First Watch in Dunwoody. We arrived at noon and were seated right away. My husband spied a copy of the Wall Street Journal, and we glanced at it after we placed our orders. We were dismayed to read the article about the Nike flag controversy and wondered aloud how the Betsy Ross flag dating to the Revolutionary War had been deemed offensive. We moved on to more pleasant topics like whether my husband would be walking or riding with his fellow VFW members in the July 4th parade and what to take to a cookout we were looking forward to on the evening of the Fourth. That’s when the roller coaster rolled rapidly downhill. A woman who’d been sitting two tables over from us stopped by our booth. She leaned down and said something to the effect that I should “put my racist feet in someone else’s

Trailer installation resumes at Dunwoody High School
Ambulance:
By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com
Dunwoody is also scheduled to get a new rapid response vehicle at Station 21 in August, Shortal said, and a new fire truck with a longer ladder for tall buildings in Perimeter Center. Shortal moved to postpone the resolution until September 30, in line with the contract expiration date for the county’s ambulance provider, American Medical Response. The DeKalb County Commission extended AMR’s contract at the end of June for three months. DeKalb received three bids in May from ambulance service providers, EMS Grady, PatientCare Logistics Solutions and the incumbent AMR. The bids are still being reviewed by an evaluation committee, which will send its recommendation to the Board of Commissioners, according a statement from DeKalb County. The current timeline for these procedures is unclear, DeKalb officials say, because there are multiple parties that would still need to approve the recommendation. City Council members dealt with one unexpected wrinkle before the July 8 vote. DeKalb County CEO Mike Thur mond sent an email to Dunwoody City Council members stating that the county was not in violation of its MOU with Dunwoody because first responder times were compliant. “According to the official response time data, there has been no breach of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Dunwoody,” Thurmond wrote in
DUNWOODY, Ga. — Work has resumed at Dunwoody High School two days after the city ordered construction halted until the school district obtained a land disturbance permit. The city ordered the district to cease work on installing new trailers at Dunwoody High School on July 8. The stop work order lasted until documents were approved by Dunwoody Director of Community Development Richard McLeod on July 10. Workers had also removed trees in the area, McLeod said, which was also a violation of the permit. The trailers were placed at Dunwoody High School July 1-5, according to a statement from DeKalb Schools. The stop work order was not on the agenda for the July 8 City Council meeting, but officials discussed the matter near the end of the meeting. Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch said it was clear the school board ignored a normal course of action for building trailers, which is to receive a land disturbance permit from the city. “They’ve broken every rule they could practically,” Deutsch said. “They’re totally abusing this power.” The city can exercise authority in two areas regarding school property: fire safety and sedimentation control, City Attorney Bill Riley said. Two years ago, the city entered a memorandum of understanding with the

I asked, “Are you saying I’m a racist?” When she responded “yes,” I told her we’d been having a private conversation but that she was entitled to her opinion. Her response was that she couldn’t help but overhear us. By then, my husband was telling her to feel free to leave and before things could escalate further, I pretty calmly said let’s just drop this, and she left. That exchange certainly made our lunch less than enjoyable, though the food and the service were excellent. Back home, I found it hard to get that conversation out of my mind, but as I started work on my to-do list, the roller coaster easily moved uphill again. With a bit of online work, I was able to get two tickets for “Wicked” at the Fox,
school board giving Dunwoody permit control of these two areas, but the state Board of Education still has enforcement control that supersedes the city, Riley said. For example, the city could modify or approve the school’s site plan, but could not enforce what kind of heating or air conditioning that students would have, he said. The board did eventually comply and received a land disturbance permit, but the council was still unhappy that trailers were being brought in at all, including one that was on a sidewalk until McLeod asked for it to be moved. “I don’t care if they put them up right or not, nobody really likes them,” Mayor Denis Shortal said. “That is not something that we can control as far as them putting in trailers… There needs to be a long-term plan to plan for the student growth in this area, not just in Dunwoody but this northern metropolitan area as it pertains to DeKalb.” Dunwoody has not yet heard a long term plan to deal with an increased student population at Dunwoody High School, Shortal said. As DeKalb adds trailers to accommodate new students, there is still only one sports field for more than 2,000 students this fall. Deutsch said she wanted to do more to ensure the city has more control over site plans in the future. She asked Riley to make sure they could see a representative from the state school board soon. Councilman Tom Lambert agreed. “Sitting on the sidelines hasn’t been effective,” Lambert said. “We need to up our game.” a show I’ve always wanted to see. Next, I reserved the daily tours for the Rhine River Cruise we have planned for December, another happy task to check off my list. My husband and I had to cancel a June trip so it was nice to focus on plans for a holiday vacation. I spent the rest of the afternoon writing, a daily activity I thoroughly enjoy. A productive afternoon followed by an ice cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a homecooked meal ended my day on a high note. Yet, that disturbing lunch incident keeps coming to mind. I realize we live in increasingly angry times. I just never expected to experience that anger personally, so I’m trying hard to convince myself the encounter was an aberration rather than the harbinger of a new norm. I’ll continue to chat cheerfully with strangers in checkout lines, laughingly tell someone I overheard their conversation and can’t help but agree, and maybe even go so far as to converse about the latest headlines while eating out, though admittedly, I’m now a bit gun shy.

the email. “The MOU requires timely emergency medical response service, which DeKalb County provides through a dual emergency response system. “This system prioritizes the delivery of lifesaving care, utilizing licensed Emergency Medical Technicians and paramedics on fire rescue vehicles in cooperation with a private emergency response vendor. The MOU does not require that an ambulance be the first responder.” First responder times for life-threatening calls for June were 8 minutes 57 seconds or less for 90 percent of calls, according to county reports. Nall said the email was a “stunning turn of events.” Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch said the county’s response was “disingenuous.” “I’m concerned that now they’re playing word games,” Deutsch said. “This was never about who the first responder was when we started this journey. It was totally about getting people who needed to get to the hospital to the hospital.” Councilwoman Pam Tallmadge said the email prompted her to vote for the declaration. “I wanted to give Denny (Shortal) a second last night,” she wrote in an email. “We have made progress, but when we received the email from the CEO, it confirmed that DeKalb is not admitting there is a problematic issue at hand.” The resolution sends a message from Dunwoody to the EMS Region 3 Council, the state public health commissioner and Gov. Brian Kemp to “expeditiously open a new ambulance zone for the City of Dunwoody to improve the economy, efficiency, and benefit of public welfare for its residents, businesses, and visitors.”

Do you know where your freedom came from?
It was a perfect question for contemplation on July 4, 2019, Independence Day, America’s 243rd birthday. Every American citizen and those aspire to Lewis J. Walker, CFP who citizenship should read “Last Call for Liberty: How America’s Genius for Freedom Has Become Its Greatest Threat” by Os Guinness (InterVarsity Press, 2018). Warns Guinness, “The greatest threat to freedom is freedom itself.” In his profound work, Guinness poses 10 questions, the first the title to this commentary. Do you truly comprehend the roots of the freedoms we celebrate every July? Do you understand God’s role in our freedom, the great gift of the Jews and the teachings of the Torah? Why we are a constitutional republic and not a direct democracy? Guinness’ other nine questions are equally provocative: Are there enough Americans who care about freedom? What do you mean by freedom? Have
you faced up to the central paradox of freedom? How do you plan to sustain freedom? How will you make the world safe for diversity? How do you justify your vision of a free and open society? Where do you ground your faith in human freedom? Are you vigilant about the institutions crucial to freedom? A republic or a democracy? Are you vigilant about the ideas crucial to freedom? Which revolution do they serve? The last question rests on his argument “that America’s fractious and rancorous politics is the outward symptom of the conflict of ideas at the heart of American culture — the tale of two revolutions, 1776 and 1789.” America’s freedom idea has its nexus in the covenants God made with the Jewish people, “the Sinai covenant blended with the ‘ancient liberties of the English.’” The author illustrates how other revolutions, the French revolution of 1789, for example, began with a quest for freedom, only to end with extensive reliance on the state. How many freedom-seeking revolutions have morphed into oppressive regimes with the deaths of millions? In the long march of re-
corded history, the American experience remains unique. Some claim freedom means “you can do anything you want.” Wrong. You have the right to “freedom from…” Our Bill of Rights gives every American certain freedoms. God endowed every human with free will. The freedom to choose is the ultimate freedom and a risk to freedom itself. God gave us commandments, rules we can choose to ignore to our mortal and eternal peril. Governmental bodies and employers have rules with penalties for violations. Every primitive society had rules. Humans operating sans rules are a mess. We are asked by our country to sacrifice for our freedoms. We celebrate those who gave some and those who gave all, families included. As parents we sacrifice for our children. We sacrifice for spouses, grandchildren, aging parents, dear friends, even strangers. Witnessing devout Jews walking to temple on the Sabbath, Christians rising early to attend services, Muslims praying five set times a day, we appreciate the beauty of sacrifice and allegiance. Americans generally are givers, supporting charitable outreach with time, talent, treasure. Today we hear too little about faith and responsibility as a pillar of freedom. Ambrose Bierce declared, “Responsibility: A detachable burden easily shifted to the shoulders of God, Fate, Fortune, Luck, or one’s neighbor.” (The Devil’s Dictionary). In political discourse what happened to personal, family, and financial responsibility, duty, honor, obligation? We seem to be in a race to define more rights others will pay for, entitlements, giveaways, reparations for the sins of history, cancelation of obligations.
Guinness quotes Rabbi Abraham Herschel (1907-1972). “Having lived in Poland and later in Germany, I know what America really means. For generations America was the great promise, the great joy, the last hope of humanity. Ten years ago, if I had said to students that America is a great blessing and an example to the world, they would have laughed at me. Why speak of such banalities? Today one of the saddest experiences of my life is to observe what is happening to America morally. The world once had a great hope, a model: America. What is going to happen to America?” (Moral Grandeur, Spiritual Audacity: Essays, published 1996.) Citizen, how will you answer Dr. Guinness’ questions, Rabbi Herschel’s moral callings? How do we impress on today’s students what’s at stake? How do we preserve the promise of July 4, 1776, for children, grandchildren, the unborn? Read “Last Call for Liberty” with a highlighter in hand. Stand at attention, hand over heart, as Old Glory passes by or The Star-Spangled Banner is sung. At other times, on your knees pray for our republic, if we can keep it, as Ben Franklin cautioned.

Crier readers recall Apollo moon landing July 20th will mark the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. As Armstrong took his first step on VALERIE the moon and said the words, “That’s BIGGERSTAFF one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” those who watched remember where they were on that historic day. In July1969, Chris Curth had recently graduated from Dykes High School in Buckhead (now Sutton Middle School). “My mother and my sisters and I were glued to the TV during the entire Apollo 11 Mission. I can remember us popping corn. At this time my father was living in Sydney, Australia, writing books, but he was very interested in the space program.” Chris’ dad, Hank Curth, worked at NBC reporting on the Mercury missions beginning in 1962. “Dad reported periodically on NBC Monitor weekend reports with Frank McGee on stories related to the space program.” Jim Feldman was a teenager at a summer camp in Switzerland when the Apollo 11 moon landing took place. “It was evening time as many people gathered to watch the event in a big room on TV,” he said. “The commentators were speaking in German. Fortunately, during the final few minutes they said they would stop speaking so we could listen to the astronauts speaking. This was good for all the English speakers in the room!” In 1969, Susan and Paul Player had only been in Dunwoody one year. Paul served as president of the Dunwoody Homeowner’s Association in 1996. Most people watched the Apollo 11 moon landing at home or on a television wherever they happened to be that July 20th. Susan Player happened to be at the Cherokee Country Club swimming pool with her two young children. A small black and white television was set up poolside for the children to watch the big event. Suzanne Huff was 7 years old in 1969, living in Texas with her family. “That summer we took a family vacation to Florida (drove from Dallas, Texas, along the Gulf Coast to Cape Canaveral)
to see Apollo 11 on the launch pad,” Suzanne recalls. She remembers being back home when Apollo 11 landed on the moon and when Neil Armstrong took the first step. They snapped a photo of their television to remember the day. “The family was crowded around the TV to catch a glimpse to witness the historic moment,” she said. Glen Kundert was in Honolulu in July of 1969. His father was stationed at Hickam Air Force Base, and Glen had just graduated high school. His summer job before going off to college was at the base gas station. “When Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon, we watched it huddled around a tiny black and white TV in the manager’s office,” Glen said. “Later, I got to actually see the crew of Apollo 11 as they came down the main road at Hickam in their Airstream quarantine trailer on the way to an airplane that would fly them to Houston. I remember waving to them — and they did likewise — it is one of the most lasting memories of my life.” If you happened to be at the Atlanta Braves versus San Diego Padres baseball game in Atlanta that day, the game halted at 4:17 p.m. for a moment of silent prayer for the astronauts. Then, “God Bless America” was performed by organist Bob Fountain. (Atlanta Constitution, July 21, 1969, Game Halted to Observe Moon Landing)

OBITUARY Fred Schneeberger. age 96, passed away on Wednesday, June 26th. For the past 9 years he was a resident of Dunwoody and prior to that lived in Buckhead, Decatur, Knoxville and Louisville, where he was born. SCHNEEBERGER Fred, Jr. was the only child born to Frederick John and Beulah McCormick Schneeberger. He was a 42 year employee of AT&T, a novice archaeologist, sculptor, rock carver, photographer, blacksmith, voracious reader and most of all a HIKER! He loved the north Georgia and Tennessee mountain hiking trails most although, he had hiked all over the world. A WWII Veteran, he was stationed in Newfoundland for 39 months as a member of the Signal Corps. Upon his return, he married his life partner of 72 years, Helen Haynes, who preceded him in death in October, 2018. This partnership added 3 children, 4 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren to his family tree. “Pa” was totally adored by his great grandchildren. Because of his art of conversation, he was known within the neighborhoods surrounding Dunwoody Pines Senior Living by a myriad of people, most of whom became friends...he felt blessed by this. People recognized him by his love of walking, his WWII Veterans hat and his well traveled hiking stick. Fred walked 3 to 4 miles daily until 6 months before his passing. His ashes are scattered along hiking trails in the mountains of Georgia and Tennessee. For those of you who befriended him in his later years, his children thank you from the depths of their heart.

Catching up with St. Pius softball phenom Josie Lord By Luke Winstel For The Crier Big things are ahead for St. Pius X softball superstar Josie Lord, who already has multiple options to play at the next level heading into her senior season.

Holy Innocents’ football to play first varsity game on campus By Dunn Neugebauer For The Crier When Holy Innocents’ football fans look at the 2019 varsity schedule and see a home date slated for Friday, Oct. 4t, they should NOT go to Riverwood. I repeat, they should NOT go to Riverwood.

Q: What is your favorite moment in your softball career at St. Pius to this point? A: “My favorite moLORD ment would probably be when I hit a double in the seventh inning to tie the game and then a walkoff single in the ninth inning my sophomore year against North Oconee to get our first region win in our new region, or this year when I came back from my accident and got my 100th strikeout.” Q: What did it feel like to be selected the Semper Fidelis National Student-Athlete of the Month for November 2018 by MaxPreps.com and the U.S. Marine Corps? A: “I felt very blessed to receive this award as there were so many applicants for the award and I was one of them chosen. I still to this day do not know who nominated me, but everything that has come with this award has been an amazing experience. On July 11-July 15 I went to Washington D.C. with my mentor for an all-ex-

A: “I think coming back from my accident showed my love for the game and how badly I wanted to be back in the circle for my team. I probably should not have come back as soon as I did. I was so driven to get the 100 strikeouts that the weekend I came back I got 22 strikeouts in 3 games to get 100.” Q: Last year, St. Pius softball finished 13-13, the first .500 or better mark since 2014, and a nine-game improvement from 2017. What was the key to the team’s step forward last year? A: “I think the key to our success started with our coaches and how we

Endeavor Montessori, opening in Dunwoody, GA, will be enrolling children ages 6 weeks-5 years for Fall 2019. Endeavor Montessori’s curriculum is distilled from the experiences and knowledge of esteemed Montessori certified teachers and leaders.

Mount Vernon School Mount Vernon, in Sandy Springs, is a preK-12 school based in inquiry, innovation, and impact. We believe that when teachers truly know and understand their students’ curiosities and passions, incredible things can happen. Mount Vernon students aren’t afraid to act, to reach out, and to engage with the world beyond their school. By connecting with external experts, MV students are designing Virtual Reality experiences for CHOA patients in a flagship Dell/Alienware VR/AR lab; students have created market-ready prototypes with Delta and Chic-fil-a; consulted with the local Lost Corner Preserve to code new apps, and worked with the City of Sandy Springs to create a book detailing the local parks (designed by preschoolers, for preschoolers). While doing real-world work is what sets MV students apart, the Mount Vernon
community is what brings us together. With over 20 varsity sports, 15+ theatrical and music performances for 2019-2020, the annual Mustang Rally celebration, and numerous clubs and organizations, Mount Vernon offers students and families ever-expanding opportunities to connect and excel both academically and socially. The unique combination of rigorous and relevant academic experiences with a connected community allows our students to consistently prove themselves at the collegiate level with acceptances to Brown, NYU, Lafayette, Naval Academy, Duke, Georgia Tech (to name a few) and prestigious scholarships and awards. As we recognize that education must adapt and change to meet the challenges of tomorrow, we are excited to open the doors of our new Upper School building for the 2019-2020 school year.
State-of-the-art and learner-centered, the new Upper School building will provide flexible spaces, learning studios, and modern facilities for all disciplines and STEAM fields so our students can

No place like High Meadows School There is no place like High Meadows School. Since 1973, High Meadows students in Pre-K through 8th grade have learned through experiential, immersive educational opportunities offered both in the school’s spacious, light-filled classrooms and across 42 acres of grassy fields and scenic woodlands. High Meadows School’s progressive curriculum is focused on develop-
ing future global citizens and innovative leaders who embrace challenge and think for themselves. High Meadows lower years classrooms offer low student-teacher ratios in which instruction emphasizes academic excellence, love of learning, critical thinking, and environmental and social responsibility. As a nationally recognized and award-winning leader in
progressive education, High Meadows is an accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering its renowned Primary Years Program for students in preschool through fifth grade. High Meadows School’s accomplished and experienced faculty lead each student on this journey. Through interactive, inquiry-based instruction, supported by of-the-moment technology and our naturebased campus, High Meadows teachers are unequaled in their intellect, passion, and compassion for these kids. Every day they inspire authentic learning opportunities that are engaging and sticky (literally and figuratively!). When children graduate from High Meadows, they are empowered with a deep respect for international perspectives, an intuitive understanding of life’s interconnectedness, and an exceedingly strong sense of self. Education is an expedition that starts from the moment we are born. When we teach children to be curious and inquiring at an early age, we create within them a love of learning that lasts an entire lifetime. What is more important than that? Come see how all this comes to life with a tour of our campus. We invite you to talk with us about how your child may find his or her sense of place with us, and speak with current and alumni parents to learn about their own experiences firsthand. highmeadows.org 770-993-2940
Since 1973, High Meadows has inspired children in Pre-K through 8th Grade to think critically, learn creatively, act globally, and live compassionately.

game played here at our school,” coach Todd Winter said. “The atmosphere will be electric.” Winter is only the second varsity head football coach in HIES history, having taken over for Ryan Livezey three years ago. Livezey is now athletic director at Mt. Pisgah. In moving forward, the rest of the home games on schedule will remain at Riverwood, a site the school has used the past decade. The first game at Baker is also in conjunction with Holy Innocents’ celebrating its 60th year. As for the Mt. Vernon clash itself, it should be a good one. Mt. Vernon has won the last two outings, but both by close scores. Also, Winter has the team going in the right direction, as the Bears went 3-7 his first year before improving to 6-6 last season.

This should be a big boost not only for our football program, but for our fans, families and student body alike.” Holy Innocents’ opens Saturday, Aug. 24 at Riverwood against Mt. Pisgah. The two teams have split the last two years; Holy Innocents’ won last fall.

I also, of course, would love to do better than previous years, as I am a very competitive person and am always looking at stats.

My options have been pretty open, but I am settling down on some Division 2 and Division 3 schools as the education part is very important to me.” Lord and the St. Pius team will begin their season on Aug. 8 at home against Woodward Academy, as the Golden Lions will begin their push to make the state playoffs for the first time since 2015.
