Mount Vernon Road intersection opens DUNWOODY, Ga. — The intersection at Mount Vernon Road and Vermack Road/ Manhasset Drive became fully operational Aug. 3 with upgrades to improve flow. Dunwoody city leaders marked the official opening of the improved intersection with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Saturday. “We are grateful to residents and drivers for their patience during this project,” said Michael Smith, Dunwoody Public Works director. “The upgrades we’ve made will improve traffic flow through this important Dunwoody intersection. We’ve been focused on getting all lanes open before school starts on Monday.” Cheerleaders at Dunwoody High School provided special countdown videos posted and shared on social media. The intersection improvements include:

• Dedicated turn lanes on Mt. Vernon and Vermack Roads • Modernized traffic signals with improved timing and vehicle detection • Four-way pedestrian signals at intersection • Dedicated bike lanes on Mt. Vernon Road between Vernon Oaks and Corners Drive • Additional 1,850 linear feet of sidewalk • Safer access to MARTA stop • New water main and sanitary sewer extension • Grade reduction on Manhasset Drive for better sight visibility Work crews will remain in the area for the next several weeks to complete site cleanup, install final pavement markings and perform isolated concrete repairs. Final landscaping will occur during the fall planting season.

The officer notified police that she noticed a man entering the store wearing sandals and attempting to exit the store wearing a brand new pair of sneakers. He was stopped and detained, and the incident was partially caught on camera.

Screaming man warned about public disturbance DUNWOODY, Ga. — Witnesses reported disorderly conduct July 25 at Workout Anytime gym on Chamblee Dunwoody Road. A man was reported screaming at patrons inside the gym. While police were en route, the man was seen walking to a Kroger store nearby. Authorities were unable to find the man inside the store. As officers were leaving the store, a woman reported that the man was seen running through the parking lot toward a nearby Starbucks. Authorities arrived at Starbucks and located the man. He admitted that he was the person responsible for the disturbance. A criminal trespass warning was issued and he is no longer permitted to enter the gym.

Dunwoody native swindled of thousands in bank fraud DUNWOODY, Ga. – A woman living on Peachford Circle reported to police July 26 that her daughter had been swindled out of $1,000 while at school in London. The daughter notified authorities that she received a text from a man she knew while in school at Dunwoody, asking for her Bank of America information. She then provided the information via text. He

Police said the man admitted to stealing the shoes and said he had also stolen two shirts and concealed them in his pant legs. Police said the suspect said that he stole the items in an attempt to return to jail after recently being released and having nowhere to live. The suspect was confirmed to be homeless. The total value of the items was $167 and the suspect was transported to DeKalb County Jail without incident.

then sent her $20 and told her to keep it. The following day, the suspect sent her $2,500 to send to someone else via Western Union. When she told him she was unable to send the money, the suspect told her to send the money to an unknown phone number. She sent the money and thought nothing of it. She was later notified that her account had been overdrawn by $887,882. When she notified the bank, she was told that her account is under investigation. She was no longer able to contact the suspect via text or phone call. The victim told authorities that she had $1,000 in her account before it was breached and did not give anyone permission to access her account. The suspect is said to be residing at the Azalea Garden Apartments in Dunwoody.

Police investigating shooting on Ashford Dunwoody Road DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police responded July 27 to a man found shot outside of My Eye Lab on Ashford Dunwoody Road July 27. When authorities arrived, they found the victim sitting on the sidewalk against the wall of the building. Blood was seen on the victim’s face and chest. A handgun was found near his legs and a shell casing was located just off the sidewalk. No witnesses reported hearing a gunshot or observing anything suspicious. The crime scene was secured with tape before a DeKalb County Medical Examiner pronounced the man deceased. The scene was studied, and the victim’s personal items were submitted to evidence.

Twins: Continued from Page 1 kees in 2017, but he chose to stay in school. Instead, he started his professional career with the Braves. Brenton had the bigger profile of the twins, so his father said he was even more surprised when Christopher received interest this summer. Christopher played at Middle State Georgia University, where he will forego his senior season to play for the Orioles. In 2019, he batted .217 with 25 RBI and three home runs. On the defensive end, he started at catcher and threw out 24 out of 46 runners attempting to steal. Christopher was signed because of his strong arm, his father said. His work on the defensive end is his greatest skill, he said. Brenton played mostly shortstop in college, but the Braves have him pegged as a pitcher, playing him in a relief role for now. He boasts a 96 mph fastball, but will have to adjust from being an everyday player, his father said. Their father has coached varsity basketball at Chamblee High School for 18 years, and said the reason for their love of baseball came from their mother, Brenda. “She’s at every game.” he said. “She’s their biggest cheerleader, critic and coach. She’s tough on them. She doesn’t miss a game at all.” The twins were set to play against each other for the first time as pros this week.

Dunwoody joins opioid manufacturer lawsuit By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody has joined a multi-district lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributors to recoup money for past and future damages related to the drug epidemic. Dunwoody police recorded 19 overdoses in the city in 2018, three of them fatal. The numbers for 2019 so far are on par with last year, with nine reported overdoses and three fatalities. Over the past five years, Dunwoody police have carried naloxone, or Narcan, a nasal spray that can help alleviate opioid-related overdoses and save lives. By joining in the lawsuit the city will have a chance to recover the cost used to purchase Narcan, as well as other past and future costs associated with the epidemic. Matt Conn, an attorney with Alabama-based Friedman, Dazzio, Zulanas and Bowling, presented the suit to the council July 22, saying that his firm has worked with many cities and counties of a similar size to Dunwoody in the Southeast. Under terms of the agreement, Dunwoody will not owe any legal fees, costs or expenses if no money is recovered in the case.

“We know there’s an opioid epidemic,” Conn said. “The question now is just what we’re going to do about it.” There were 70,000 overdose related deaths in the U.S. in 2017, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The lawsuit is part of a multi-district filing consolidating hundreds of cases from across the country that will to go before a judge this October in northern Ohio. The suit will be filed against many

of the largest opioid manufacturers and distributors including Purdue Pharma, Mallinckrodt PLC and Cardinal Health, Inc. Dunwoody City Councilman John Heneghan has a personal connection to the opioid crisis. During the meeting, he said he had a friend who lost their life to an opioid overdose. “I’m not a punitive person,” Heneghan said. “I’m not looking for the

city of Dunwoody to get rich or to make social change. I’m just looking to make sure we have the tools available to save lives.” The council discussed this lawsuit last year in March, when neighboring cities like Sandy Springs were joining in. But it was not made an agenda item until this most recent meeting when the council voted unanimously to join the suit in a 6-0 vote, with Councilman Tom Lambert absent. Dunwoody police have made recent efforts to educate the public about the dangers of opioids, said Sgt. Robert Parsons, who pushed for the department to start tracking overdoses and get Narcan for all officers in 2015. All sworn and most unsworn staff members are required to take an eight-hour course on mental health first aid, and the department will be offering three mental health classes to the public this fall. Opioid education is part of CPR classes that Parsons teaches as well. “We’re not trying to incarcerate people for anything with drugs,” Parsons said. “We train our officers to, when appropriate, transport them to a hospital or other treatment space and hopefully get them help and on their road to recovery.”

Local pharmacist inspires patient-choice state law By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Over the past year, Jennifer and Mike Shannon, owners of Lily’s Pharmacy in Johns Creek, have worked with state legislators to pass a law to prevent conflicts of interest in the pharmacy industry. The Pharmacy Anti-Steering and Transparency Act, which will go into effect Jan. 1, 2020, prohibits insurers and benefits managers who have ownership in a pharmacy from steering patients to that business. The law endeavors to reduce conflicts of interests, increase transparency and give patients more choice. The law was inspired in part by local pharmacist Jennifer Shannon, who saw first-hand how coercive steering practices can negatively impact patient care. Jennifer and Mike created Lily’s Pharmacy, named after their first daughter, in 2013. While Jennifer is the head pharmacist, Mike handles business affairs, and both pride themselves on the customer service and level of care offered at the pharmacy. “Patients should know their phar-

macist,” Jennifer said. “We’re the last person that checks that their medication is safe for them. We realized there were no local pharmacies in the area – there were so many chains everywhere – so we decided to do it in Johns Creek where we live.” Lily’s Pharmacy works closely with Emory Johns Creek Hospital and other nearby healthcare providers to ensure a quality continuum of care. “We know them well,” Mike said. “We get a lot of referrals from the local providers because we’re out front talking with our patient and not just treating them like a prescription going across the desk.” As with any mom-and-pop shop, competing with larger chain pharmacies can be challenging for Lily’s Pharmacy. But the biggest challenge, the Shannons said, was not attracting patients to their neighborhood pharmacy, but retaining them because of steering campaigns or restrictive insurance plans. “A doctor can never tell you ‘Hey, you have to go to the lab, and you have to go to the one that I own,” Mike said. “That’s illegal. But in pharmacy, the [pharmacy benefit managers] are allowed to say ‘You have to go to this specialty pharma-

Why don’t we just send you 90 days,’ when they probably have no business getting 90 days of anything because

their meds change.” Jennifer said she has spent ours on the phone fighting with insurance companies and mail-order pharmacies to grant her clients the ability to have their medication filled at the pharmacy of their choice. Frustrated by the system, Jennifer reached out to the lobbyist with the Georgia Pharmacy Association, and along with the Medical Association of Georgia and Georgia Society of Clinical

The Investment Coach

A tale of two knees Remember Farrah Fawcett, the glamorous star of the ’70s television hit, “Charlie’s Angels?” Married for a time to Lee Majors, star of the action series “The Million Dollar Lewis J. Walker, CFP Six Man,” Fawcett became one of America’s favorite pin-up models. The July 4, 1977, People magazine cover featured the buff couple jogging, headlining, “Everybody’s Doing It: Stars Join The Jogging Craze.” Joining the “everybody cohort,” I started running. Running fed my passion for being outdoors while exercising at the same time. While not settled science, excessive running is thought to cause wear and tear on knees over the years, compounding difficulties stemming from arthritis, joint pain, etc. My first clue that I may have overdone it was a torn meniscus in my left knee. In 2012 I had a total replacement of my left knee, again “joining the crowd.” Orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Nicholas DeNubile, University of Penn Hospital, coined the term “boomeritis” to describe conditions that afflict many middle-aged and older patients when body parts are overstressed. Knee replacements are up by 300 percent among 45 to 64-year-olds in the past decade. Joint replacement surgery of any kind is not a day at the beach. But advancements in technique have been remarkable. Using the same surgeon who performed my 2012 procedure, Dr. Ken Kress, on May 15, 2019, I had my right knee replaced. The difference in outcome is astounding! In 2012, I was hospitalized overnight. Experiencing substantial pain and discomfort, I spent six boring hours a

day for some time in a “range of motion machine” to help restore agility. Painkilling opiods caused major problems. Fast forward seven years. Checking into Northside Cumming hospital at 9 a.m., I was home before 5 p.m., same day. “Joint replacement in one day, amazing,” said my son, a doctor. Prior to the surgery, I attended a “Joint Class” which focused on advance preparation, including exercise to strengthen leg muscles. The germkilling protocols to prevent infection are impressive. Anesthesia now includes a nerve block to minimize pain for the first few days following surgery. Unlike 2012, I was able to walk immediately without a cane or walker. Home physical therapy for about three weeks with prescribed exercise routines has replaced the tedious range of motion machine. Home therapy is followed by outpatient therapy. Opoids were avoided. A knee replacement isn’t a piece of cake. But if you work to be in reasonable shape going in, drop some weight, and follow instructions to the letter, odds of a good outcome and experience are enhanced. “What,” you ask, “does this have to do with financial planning?” Answer — healthcare is wealthcare! Your goal in pursuing financial independence is to enjoy the fruits of your labors. You want to experience things with family and friends, travel, pursue passions and hobbies, do volunteer work, start a new venture, you name it. You don’t want to be a burden on your family. Caregiving stress is increasing for spouses and adult children, especially daughters in the “sandwich generation” caught in a squeeze involving family and career pressures along with helping aging parents. Much focus on retirement risks involves “not running out of money.” How about not falling? Falls are a leading

Risk factors include balance issues, medication use, cognitive impairment, peripheral neuropathy and sensory disorders.

KATHY MANOS PENN

DVRs. I’d get home from work around 7, maybe jog a few miles, maybe watch “Friends” reruns, eat a bite and go to bed with a book. My TV watching picked up a bit when I got married but really didn’t ramp up until we got TIVO.

With the ability to record shows that came on after my bedtime and watch them right after dinner the next night, my husband and I got hooked on “Law & Order” in all its infinite varieties, “Friends,” “Castle,” and other network shows. We never have indulged in HBO and such. I still wanted to be in bed with a good book by 9, so a show or two a night was plenty. I’m currently addicted to British shows: “Midsomer Murders,” “Endeavor,” Poirot, Maigret, “Victoria” and anything else PBS comes up with. We were hooked on “Foyle’s War” and mourned its passing and felt the same way about “Inspector Lewis” when it ended. I keep considering getting a subscription to Britbox so I can indulge my “Midsomer Murders” addiction without waiting for PBS to dole out the episodes. My husband can be found watching the History Channel most days, and now that Adam of Dunwoody PC has installed ROKU for us, he’s also watching the ROKU history channel. Those I can do without. Yes, we still watch network TV but seem often to be disappointed in their offerings. We got tired of the Good Wife before it ended, and I think we watch “Law & Order SVU” out of habit. My husband enjoys that one more than I do.

His favorite saying when it ends each week is, “You’re never to going to NYC again.” We were happy when “Last Man Standing” resumed. It is one of the few comedies we like, and we could never understand why it was canceled. Be prepared. I’m about to sound my age: To us, most of the newer comedies are just plain crude and not for us. We give them a try and then give up. We’ve long enjoyed “Blue Bloods” — and not just because we’re Tom Selleck fans — and the “Rookie” and “FBI” are two new shows we’ve enjoyed. We’re also enjoying “Elementary” but I understand this is its last season. Can you tell we like witty dialogue with our murder and mayhem? That could be why we recorded several black and white “Thin Man” movies from TBS. When we finally got a smart TV, we started watching Amazon Prime originals like “Bosch.” To us, that one’s been the best by far. We also watch many of the British mystery series offered — some going back to the ’90s. And yet … and yet, I find myself lately not wanting to watch much of anything. I’m not quite sure why. Could it be the quality of network TV? If that’s it, then you’d think Amazon Prime would solve our problem. Friends keep telling us we should get Netflix, and we’d have a great selection. Then again, is not wanting to watch TV a bad thing? I keep glancing longingly at my To Be Read pile of books and thinking the answer to that question may be a resounding “No.” Kathy is a Sandy Springs resident.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

DeKalb Schools has a lot to answer for The question that needs to be asked of the DeKalb County School District is: “Has the educational environment been compromised?” I believe the answer is “yes!” Another question is: “Is the safety, health and wellbeing of Dekalb County’s school children at risk?” I believe there is cause for concern here and I would answer “yes!” The simple truth is, district-wide, Dekalb County schools are currently in a disgraceful state. That said, DeKalb Schools did not get to its present state in a day. This is the cumulative result of years of incompetence, indifference and perhaps corruption. SPECIAL

There are no easy fixes at this point. All organizations have their “core competencies.” It is increasingly apparent that the fiduciary (trust) and facilities management functions are far from being DeKalb School’s competencies. The current model of managing the school district is failing, miserably. That is why it makes sense to me to outsource these and other functions (human resources). These functions should be outsourced to competent and trustworthy third-party providers while being directed by a source other than the DeKalb County School District.

The first pool on Vermack Swim and Tennis property When Lois Pattillo purchased Donaldson-Bannister Farm, the property was 26 acres and included the house that still stands at the corner of Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Vermack Road. The land VALERIE extended along VerBIGGERSTAFF mack Road past what is now Vermack Ridge and Vermack Swim and Tennis. One of the changes she made to the estate was the addition of a swimming pool. Pattillo married and became Lois Pattillo Bannister while living in the home. She built her pool within the creek on the property. For some 40 years, from about 1935 until 1975, a swimming pool existed on the same property that is now Vermack Swim and Tennis. This was not unusual, as Bannister originally purchased the home as a summer home, and summer homes in the area often had swimming pools. Steve Griffeth, who moved to a house

on Chamblee Dunwoody Road with his family in 1961, first told me about the swimming pool. When he was a young boy riding his bike and exploring the area, he discovered the pool. There was a gate that could be lifted to allow water to fill the concrete and stone enclosed area. He recalls a deck, bath house and lights. Trees and other growth obstructed view of the pool from Vermack Road. Families who once lived on the property have confirmed they swam at the creek pool. Hank Ogden and Meredith Ogden Conklin lived in the home with their parents, Henry and Leila Harris Ogden, between 1946 and 1956. In 2018, they visited the Farm and shared their memories with Dunwoody Preservation Trust, including swimming at the pool. Ogden and Conklin remember the wooden bath house having two changing rooms. There were also picnic tables. Ogden says there was a rock quarry in the area, about 200 yards north and west of the creek. The bridge over the creek was wooden, and Vermack Road was a dirt road.

Her brother, Hank, emerges from the pool in the background. Their parents, Henry and Leila Harris Ogden, owned Donaldson-Bannister Farm from 1946 to 1956. Hortense Smith lived in the home along with their children Frank and Bonnie. Bonnie Smith Nichols has returned to Donaldson-Bannister Farm and recalls her family swimming in the pool along the creek. The Roberts family lived at the Farm for a couple of years between Bannister and Ogden. Ann Renfroe shared with me several years ago that she swam with the Roberts children in this same pool. A 1954 advertisement in the Atlanta

Constitution describes the property as Boxwood Farms, 26 acres including a swimming pool with dressing room. Donaldson-Bannister Farm went by the name Boxwood Farms during the years of Bannister, Roberts, Ogden and Smith. In 1977, Vermack Swim and Tennis Club was established and has been enjoyed by many through the years. Evidence of the pool that was along the creek many years ago can still be seen.

Does the sun damage your skin? By Josh A. Hammel, MD Board-Certified Dermatologist and Fellowship-Trained Mohs Surgeon

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, so goes the old saying. When it comes to skin health, this canDR. HAMMEL not be truer. Daily, patients ask me how they can best care for their skin and prevent future problems. Most questions surround skin cancer, premature aging, or dry and fragile skin concerns. My answer is often the same: sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen, and moisturizer. I cannot emphasize enough how bad the sun is for one’s skin — it’s as bad as smoking is for the lungs! I frequently perform Mohs Micrographic Surgery on patients with different types of skin cancers caused by sun exposure. Using the microscope I exam their surgically removed skin tissue and am able to see the destruction of

elastic fibers known as solar elastosis. The damage that ultraviolet light does to the dermis, the second layer of skin responsible for its firmness and stretch, is clearly visible under light magnification. Every second in the sun means more damage to your epidermal and dermal tissue, predisposing you to skin cancer and wrinkles caused by photoaging. Taking steps to

protect your skin from the sun’s rays with protective clothing and broad-spectrum sunscreen pays healthy dividends both in cancer and wrinkle prevention. Many of my patients complain of dry and itchy skin. Dry skin is not only unsightly but may predispose you to uncomfortable rashes and infections. Mature skin lacks the ability to produce natural oils as well as younger skin and easily falls prey to excess soap use. Most patients with dry skin do well to use an unscented, gentle bar soap used mainly on the “dirtier” areas of the body, mainly the face, underarms, groin, and feet, leaving the rest of the skin to be cleansed mainly with water. A healthy application of a thick moisturizer (something scooped out of a jar is best)

immediately after bathing and once more daily is generally enough to combat the dryness associated both with seasonal changes and maturing skin. If you have questions or concerns about your skin, you can make an appointment for a personalized consultation at Dermatology Specialists of Georgia’s Dunwoody office. We offer evaluation and treatment of all medical dermatological conditions as well as advanced skin surgery techniques for both skin cancer and cosmetic concerns. Call today to make your appointment with minimal wait time. Dermatology Specialists of Georgia (770) 452-5667 4360 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Suite 260

Atlanta hosts the 2019 Jewish Community Center Maccabi Games

Local students compete in Junior Olympics

SPECIAL

Dunwoody High school students Jack Arant, Harrison Kopp and Alon Rogow competed recently in the USATF Hershey National Junior Olympics in Sacramento California. The competition ran July 22-28 and featured track and field events for youth ages 8-18. Official results showed the trio finishing in the top 15 in the competition. All three boys had to advance in the state meet as well as the regional meet in Rockhill, South Carolina, through their travel competition team Pole Vault Atlanta.

ATLANTA — The Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta welcomed more than 1,600 teen athletes, 12 to 16 years old, from July 28 to Aug. 2 to the 2019 JCC Maccabi Games. The Olympic-style competition brought teen athletes from several countries to Atlanta to compete in 14 different sports, perform community service and promote human values. “I loved swimming for Team Atlanta,” said Will Solomon, a Dunwoody resident and Team Atlanta member. “A highlight of the week was hosting two athletes from Denver at my house.” Team Atlanta has nearly 600 athletes who competed with 1,000 athletes from 35 visiting delegations from across the U.S., Panama, Israel and Mexico. Hundreds of bronze, silver and gold medals were awarded to the athletes. The Maccabi Opening Ceremonies kicked off the games at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre, featuring high-profile talent and a parade of athletes. The Maccabi Closing Ceremonies were held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This year’s competition included the first-ever gaming and e-sports category at Maccabi Atlanta. Other new events at the games included Star Reporters, teens

The Community Service Projects Initiative, JCC Cares, is a central component of the competition. The association partnered with the Israel Sports Center for the Disabled and the Shepherd Center, allowing athletes and coaches to see all people for their abilities rather than disabilities.

Previewing St. Pius X football’s four-game road trip

College football writer, analyst unveils predictions to Rotary Club

By Luke Winstel For The Crier

Tony Barnhart, college football analyst for CBS Sports, was the featured speaker at the Aug. 2 meeting of the Dunwoody Rotary Club. Barnhart, a Dunwoody resident, opened by saying this is the 150th anniversary of college football. He said he had recently attended SEC Media Days in Birmingham, Ala., four days of a wall-to-wall football marathon. Three past standouts of the sport were celebrated: Hershel Walker; Archie Manning; and Steve Spurrier. Barnhart’s predictions include Georgia going undefeated in the regular season; Clemson winning the ACC; Ohio State taking the Big 10; and Oklahoma winning the Big 12 (as a result of Alabama’s quarterback’s transfer there). Oregon is predicted to take the Pack 12. He predicts Alabama will beat Georgia for the SEC championship, but Georgia will win over Alabama for the national championship. Georgia Tech has a total remake this year under Coach Geoff Collins. When asked if college players will eventually be paid, Barnhart said he did not think that would happen for a variety of reasons. However, the lives of players can be made easier by paying room, books, board, tuition, fees and giving them a cost of living stipend. He also noted two rules changes for this season. The targeting rule now says if a player is ejected, the video replay must prove the targeting. If no proof is evident in the video, the player stays in the game. The overtime rule has changed as a result of the 7 overtimes in the LSU/Texas A&M game last year. Now, five overtimes is the limit with only 2-point conversions allowed. When asked about the Florida/Georgia gap, Barnhart said that it is not as large as Georgia thinks it is, but it is also not as small as Florida wants it to be.

The St. Pius X Catholic High School football team opens the 2019 season with four consecutive away games. The first matchup is a scrimmage against the Lovett Lions that will not count toward the team’s overall record. After the exhibition game, the team will play three consecutive road games to open the regular season, followed by four straight home games. Here’s a preview of the first four matches: Scrimmage, August 9, 7:30 p.m. vs. the Lovett Lions The Lions went 6-6 last year, finished as the No. 13 ranked team in Class AAA and advanced to the second round of the state playoffs. Lovett graduated most of its talent at the offensive skill positions but returns Princeton commit Blaine McAllister at quarterback. The two teams squared off in a scrimmage last year, which the Golden Lions won. Both Lovett and St. Pius will use the scrimmage to prepare young teams for the upcoming season. Game 1, August 23, 7:30 p.m. vs. the Blessed Trinity Titans After a week off, the Golden Lions will face the back-to-back defending AAAA state champions in the annual Crosstown Showdown. In each of the past six years, the Titans have won at least nine games, a region title and advanced past the second round of the playoffs. They have won 51 of their past 57 games, including five straight matchups against St. Pius. They are currently on a 21-game winning streak. The

Titans will look very different than a year ago, after graduating a plethora of talented players including quarterback Jake Smith, J.D Bertrand, and running back Steele Chambers. Running back and UNC commit Elijah Green is the Titans’ top returning player, with over 1,800 career rushing yards. The Titans trounced St. Pius 35-13 in the most recent edition of the Catholic school rivalry. Game 2, August 30, 7:30 p.m. vs. the Dunwoody Wildcats The Wildcats enter 2019 hoping to improve on a 2-8 season a year ago. The Golden Lions defeated Dunwoody 45-17 last year at home and held the Wildcats to 118 total yards of offense. Dunwoody was held to 2-15 through the air for a total of 44 yards. The Golden Lions had one of their best offensive outings of the season, with 387 yards of total offense. The Wildcats only return a handful of key starters, including quarterback duo Jaxon Warshaw and Davis LeDoyen. Game 3, September 6, 7:30 p.m. vs. the Westminster Schools Westminster went 8-5 and advanced to the Class AAA quarterfinals last season. The team returns quarterback Parks Harber, who broke out as one of the top passers in AAA a season ago. The Wildcats’ senior running back tandem of Paul Weathington and Will Hallmark will also return. The Golden Lions defeated Westminster 35-9 last year, behind 388 yards of total offense. St. Pius has won the past four matchups between the two teams but has only won seven out of 30 games all-time against the Wildcats.

HIES volleyball team garners high academic honor Dunwoody Crier 8/8/19 Crossword

By Dunn Neugebauer For The Crier The Holy Innocents’ volleyball team, known for getting it done on the courts with three straight titles at one point and continuous trips to postseason, has been honored for its successes in the classroom. Coach Taylor Noland’s student/athletes were named recipients of the 2019 American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award. The award honors teams who have matched their dedication to volleyball with excellence in the classroom. “Meeting the award standards is an accomplishment of which coach Noland and the Holy Innocents’ volleyball student/athletes should be proud,” Bruce Taylor of the AVCA wrote in a letter to Noland. “It is our hope that Holy Innocents’ will consider the AVCA Team Academic Award an annual challenge to achieve.”

The Golden Bear volleyball team has and is expected to continue to achieve. The 2019 squad began practice last Tuesday with a solid roster looking to improve on last year’s Elite 8 finish. The Lady Bears could be one of the teams to beat in Class A–Private despite having no seniors on their current team. In other HIES sports news, football coach Todd Winter’s varsity program found a way to bridge the gap between its high school players and the middle school with the installation of the B.I.T.E. program (Bears in Training Excellence). The program works like this: Junior and senior football players serve as mentors, pairing up with middle school players after one of the spring practices last May. The kids then took it from there, as the “big boys” spoke with the middle schoolers about football, life in the upper school, or just life in general, as the

Edwin D. Spivia, 78, of Gainesville, Ga., passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, July 27, 2019 after a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia. He is best known for putting Georgia on the map for filmmakers and as a favorite destination for millions of tourists. Known by many as “Big Ed,” he was born in Murphy, N.C., June 6, 1941. After attending Young Harris College he became a radio announcer at WCVP and WKRK radio stations in Murphy. In 1965, Mr. Spivia moved to Atlanta becoming a traffic and news reporter for WGST Radio. At age 25, his interview with newly elected state Rep. Julian Bond led to the House refusing to seat the young legislator, and then, ultimately, the courts supporting Bond. The incident thrust Bond into the national spotlight and Mr. Spivia into Georgia journalism history. In 1968, Mr. Spivia began work for the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade, where, after visiting the “Deliverance” film site, he conceived of making Georgia a prime location for movie and television producers. He presented the concept to then Gov. Jimmy Carter who chose him to develop the Georgia Film Commission, to lure film production to the state. The effort began in earnest in 1972, and within 10 years, over 200 films were produced in Georgia, including blockbusters like “Smokey and the Bandit” and “The Big Chill.” Mr. Spivia was then asked to head up the Georgia Tourism Division where the successful marketing phrase “Georgia, for

coaches and staff sat back and let things take their course. In a special ceremony that signified the bond, the boys formed a half dozen groups in a circle, then three, then one big circle with coach Winter in the middle. The mentorship is slated to continue, as there are several events scheduled throughout the upcoming season where the kids can connect and grow. “We realized there was a void with the middle school,” Winter said. “Our priority became to create a family concept with football, and I feel B.I.T.E. is an excellent idea to help us achieve the goals we’ve identified. At the first gathering, the varsity boys immediately connected with the younger boys; the bottom line is we are excited about the future of this program.” The excitement is merited. Last fall saw good results from middle school, JV and the varsity. The varsity im-

Edwin D. Spivia

Good Time or a Lifetime” and the Georgia Peach State logo were created. During his seven-year tenure, he promoted the different regions of Georgia, eliminating the practice of communities competing against each other for tourists. This approach increased the state’s tourism budget three-fold and resulted in Georgia moving from 27th in tourism revenue and visitation nationally to 7th — second only to Florida in the Southeast. Mr. Spivia’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to the Lakewood Fairgrounds in Atlanta to develop the property to include a major film studio. In 1983, former Macon Mayor Buck Melton and Macon businessman Ben Porter formed Filmworks, USA. Mr. Spivia was named president. Filmworks owned a 50-year lease on the Lakewood site and created what became the nationally acclaimed Lakewood Antiques Market. Through his contacts at Universal Studios, Mr. Spivia convinced Universal to build the 18,000-seat Lakewood Amphitheatre on the site. In 2006, he worked with the City of Atlanta as they repurchased the lease. Today the site houses EUE Screen Gems Studios of New York, one of the country’s premier movie production facilities. Ed Spivia and his wife, Barbara, and long-time friend and business associate Diane Dominick, moved the antiques market

to Cumming, where it became the thriving Lakewood 400 Antiques Market with over 200 dealers. Mr. Spivia’s two sons, Rhett and Greg, became partners in the business in December 2018. Though retired from the film industry, Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue reached out to Mr. Spivia in 2006 to revive efforts to entice film producers to the state, asking him to chair the newly formed Georgia Film Video and Music Advisory Commission. The panel led the effort to pass an incentives package through the Georgia Legislature, helping make Georgia among the top three film, video and music production states in the country today. Mr. Spivia served on boards of the Georgia Hospitality and Travel Association, Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau, Travel South USA (chair), Georgia Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, American Diabetes Association of Georgia and Georgia Press Association Associates (president). In 2017, he received the Georgia Entertainment Gala & Awards “Outstanding Contribution to the Georgia Entertainment Industry” award. Mr. Spivia, himself, claimed his finest accomplishments were his three children, his marriage to Barbara and their blended family.

He loved nothing more than spending time with them, especially on Lake Lanier. When a man’s stories are remembered, it is said he is considered immortal. With too many stories left to tell, “Big Ed,” and his piercing blue eyes, beautiful smile and charismatic personality will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Ed Spivia was preceded in death by his parents, Mildred Graves and Edwin Spivia and his stepfather, Burton Graves. He is survived by his wife of 17 years, Barbara Black Spivia; sons, Rhett (Paula) and Greg (Amy); daughter Cole; stepsons Philip Beegle ( Jennifer), Brian Beegle and Kevin Beegle; sister, Nancy (Spivia) Anderson (Clay); brothers, Ronnie Graves (Pat) and David Graves ( Jill); a host of nieces and nephews, five grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. The family expressed gratitude to Mr. Spivia’s caregivers, Linda Griffin and Mary Ellen Sperry, who supported Barbara in her effort to fulfill her husband’s desire to die at home, in his bed, looking at the lake with his family and his dogs around him. The family will hold a private celebration of his life.

Teens complete projects to earn Eagle status Jeremy Carlson recently earned Boy Scout’s highest rank of Eagle Scout from Dunwoody’s All-Saints Troop 434. His project involved building three raised garden beds at Kittredge Magnet School to help promote the outdoor classroom and garden environment. Carlson joined Scouts with Pack 623 and crossed over to Boy Scouts with Troop 434 in 2014. He recalled his favorite scouting memory as “the time I cooked for the youngest Scout Patrol and used the last of the pancake batter to make a pancake the size of the whole pan, and had to flip it using the pan instead of a spatula.” He also stated that Scoutmaster Willy Trent, Troop 434, has been a big encouragement along his way. Carlson, 15, attends Chamblee Char-

ter High School. He is active in Thespian Club at school and previously participated in marching band as a freshman. He is the son of Doug and Judi Carlson, Dunwoody. Brandon Lambert earned the rank of Eagle Scout as a member of Dunwoody’s All-Saints Boy Scout Troop 434. His Eagle project consisted of constructing raised garden beds at Kingsley Elementary as the school worked to become Dunwoody’s first STEAM certified school. Lambert first joined All Saints BSA Pack 434 as a first grade Cub Scout. He became a Boy Scout to Troop 434 in 2012. His favorite Scout memory, he said, was a trip to BSA High Adventure Sea Base in the Florida Keys. Lambert, 18, recently graduated from Chamblee Charter High School where he played football and baseball. He is the son of Tom and Danielle Lambert of Dunwoody.

While mandating mail-order pharmacy was already illegal in the state of Georgia, many patients have been the target of steering campaigns that remove or complicate their ability to choose their own pharmacist. Under the new law, the practice of steering patients, whether through insurance plans or misleading marketing materials, to a pharmacy that is owned by the insurance company or phar-

With unanimous support in the Senate and one dissenting vote in the House, Georgia became a leader in ensuring patients can chose their pharmacist. Jennifer said she is incredibly proud of the new law and hopes similar laws will be passed in other states. “To have the choice and not be coerced will save so many patients, especially the elderly,” Jennifer said.

GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA

Counting bugs for science! Bugs. They’re part of summer, and sometimes you hate ’em. And yet there’s a lot to love about some bugs, especially those known as “pollinators.” They’re the ones you see on flowers, the ones responsible for STEVE HUDSON the apples and blueGet Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net berries and squash. Pollinators are everywhere. You see ’em all the time – bees, butterflies, and more – so it’s easy to assume that there are plenty to go around. Lately, however, some have warned of declining populations of these allimportant insects. So how are pollinator populations actually doing? One of the people interested in answering that question is Becky Griffin, community and school garden coordinator for the UGA Extension Service. Becky is the driving force behind a statewide initiative known as the Great Georgia Pollinator Census, an innovative program designed to promote sustainable pollinator habitat throughout the state while increasing what she calls “entomological literacy” and, simultaneously, capturing a snapshot of how pollinators are doing across the state. It’s science, sure. It’s also a great excuse to get outdoors later this month and

Becky Griffin, community and school garden coordinator for the UGA Extension Service and creator of the Great Georgia Pollinator Census. do something totally different while making make a contribution to the greater good. Becky notes that the Great Georgia Pollinator Census is modeled after Cornell University’s annual (and highly successful) Great Backyard Bird Count. Like the Backyard Bird Count, the Pollinator Census is a citizen scientist-based program where regular folks like you and me can help gather data (count bugs, that is) and thus make a meaningful contribution. Pollinators, for the purposes of this count, are grouped into eight categories (bumble bees, carpenter bees, small bees, honey bees, wasps, flies, butterflies and other insects). Counting them is remarkably straightforward, and there’s even a video on the project’s website (GGaPC. org) to show you how it’s done. The magic happens on either Friday, Aug. 23 or Saturday, Aug. 24, when folks across Georgia will literally count pollinators on “pollinator plants” – that

is, on a plant with flowers that attract pollinating insects. Just 15 minutes is all that’s required. You can spare a quarter hour, can’t you? Sure you can! Do it for the bugs! A key, of course, is to locate a suitable pollinator-attracting plant. You may need look no farther than your own backyard. Zinnias, lantana, black-eyed Susans, even milkweed – the list goes on and on. Another approach is to visit one of Georgia’s many botanical gardens. The State Botanical Garden in Athens and the Coastal Botanical Garden in Savannah are good bets; so are many other gardens and a number of state parks. If none of those options pans out, how about observing a flowering potted plant on your porch or back deck? That works too, Becky says. The project website includes a list of suitable plants that will be blooming in August, and you may be able to pick one up at your local nursery. Of

course, the longer you can have that plant in place before census day, the better your chances of attracting pollinating insects. Once your plant has been chosen, decide how you’ll observe it. You will need to be close to it, but since the observation period is only 15 minutes, you won’t have to plan for long-term comfort. Then, when census day rolls around, get into position and set your timer for 15 minutes. Then let the counting begin. For even more fun, get your kids or grandkids involved in the bug counting too. How do you figure out what you are seeing? Illustrations on the project website will help you determine what’s what and will, for example, help you distinguish flies from wasps and bees. But wait a minute. Did I say bees and wasps? Isn’t that risky? “As long you’re not grabbing anything,” she says, “those insects are going to stay focused on the flowers. They’re not interested in you at all.” So (hard though it is for me to say this, since I absolutely am not a fan of things that sting) don’t sweat the wasps and bees. Instead, focus on seeing how many pollinators you can spot on your plant. As you identify each pollinator, tally what you see on the reporting sheet printed from the GGaPC website. That sheet provides blocks where you can record sightings for each of the eight different types of pollinators being counted. The final and critically important step is to upload your results on the project website. Reporting your results only takes a few minutes. Once you send your data on its way you’ll be able to bask in the satisfaction of having made a contribution to some potentially very important research. There. You’ve done some science and gotten to know some pollinators too – and I’ll bet you’ve had some fun while doing your bit for the betterment of those all-important bugs. For more information on the Great Georgia Pollinator Census, visit GGaPC.org.
