With every public project, the city works to limit the impact to tree canopy, McLeod said, but removing trees can be necessary, whether it’s to alleviate the impact of roots, proper placement or due to trees dying or becoming diseased.
The city currently has a surplus total of 445 trees (meaning it has planted 445 more trees than it has removed), McLeod said. That total does not include trees planted this year.
DUNWOODY, Ga. — With the smell of freshly popped popcorn and the sound of Boogie, Funk and Groove in the air, visitors joined the Spruill Center for the Arts on Aug. 18 for its first Pop Up in the Plaza Visitorsevent.could glimpse into several artist demonstrations, an improv show and tour the building and in-session classes.The Dunwoody-based art center is a private, non-profit organization that enrolls more than 5,000 people annu ally for over 800 visual arts courses. The center houses the Spruill Gal lery, which displays from four to six exhibitions each year in a variety of mediums. It’s also the home to Stage Door Theatre, the Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild and the Dunwoody branch of the DeKalb County Library. Spruill CEO Alan Mothner, who joined staff in 2020, came up with the idea for the pop-up events alongside Pop Up in Plaza spreads the arts for Spruill Center
Officials address tree loss concerns
The Chamblee-Dunwoody and Womack Road intersection is under construction, with trees removed to build a retaining wall.
“The No Net Loss of Trees policy ap plies to public-owned land where every tree that is taken down for construction or because the tree is dying or diseased, or whatever the reason, we plant one tree for every tree that is removed,” he said. “That is not an inch for every inch that is removed but a tree for a tree.”

The city takes different approaches to following its tree policies, depending on the circumstance.

ATLANTA — A nationwide Federal Bureau of Investigation sex trafficking operation this month located 28 missing children and adolescent sex trafficking victims in Georgia.“Operation Cross Country XII,” which partnered FBI agents with over 200 state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States, targeted individuals and criminal enterprises in volved in child sex trafficking and human trafficking over a two-week period.
Following the announcement on Oper ation Cross Country, the Dunwoody Police Department thanked federal authorities for their support during the two-week investigation.“TheFBIis a critical partner in our efforts to identify and rescue adults and children who are being victims of sex traf ficking,” Dunwoody Chief of Police Billy Grogan said. “It’s an issue that a lot of people don’t want to talk about, but it’s certainly something that’s prevalent, more than most people know. And you can cer tainly look at the stats of Operation Cross Country to note that.”
DUNWOODY, Ga. — Authorities say that a driver was injured Aug. 16 when a car col lided with a Dunwoody Police vehicle near Perimeter Center. A Dunwoody Police vehicle was enroute to a call at about 7 p.m. when it collided with a civilian vehicle in the intersection of Perimeter Center West and Perimeter Center Parkway in Dunwoody, police sources say. The civilian driver received injuries from the wreck, but authorities have not commented on the nature of the injuries or the suspected cause of the wreck. According to a Dunwoody Police, the Georgia State Patrol has been called in to investigate this wreck, but as of 2 p.m. Wednesday, the GSP has not provided any new information or confirmed they are investigating the wreck.

“Humanoffenses.trafficking is among the most heinous crimes the FBI encounters,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “Unfortu nately, such crimes—against both adults and children—are far more common than most people realize. As we did in this operation, the FBI and our partners will continue to find and arrest traffick ers, identify and help victims, and raise awareness of the exploitation of our most vulnerable populations.”
Nationwide, Operation Cross Country led to the location of 141 adult victims of human trafficking and 31 missing children, the FBI said. Investigators also identified or arrested 85 suspects with child sexual exploitation and human traf ficking

Doane, an engineer by trade, worked on a colorful, textured portrait with marker and ink, which was based on a reference picture sent by Horne. Votja, who said he’s finally checked creating art off his bucket list, steadily detailed a pair of praying hands in ink. The pandemic put life into perspective for him, Votja said. Horne worked on a portrait of a Na tive American, having always loved the culture. He said he divorced his parents at the age of 5 because he wanted to be Native American but found out it doesn’t work that “There’sway.alot of spirituality in the way that they lead their lives,” he said. “We would do good to study and learn from them.”

The courtyard is open to the public from sunrise to sunset, he said. The center has a coffee studio. Visitors can pop their head into a class, visit the library or see what’s happening in Stage Door.
Existing trees are incorporated into the design for the Peeler Road sidewalk project.
“This was an unusual design, but it’s one that allowed us to save trees and enhance the aesthetics by preserving the trees and natural drainage along the edge of the park.” Smith said. The cost for the project was $1.3 mil lion.McLeod said the No Net Loss of Trees policy is important to maintain Dun woody’s Tree City USA designation.
With son Jack by his side, John Doane works on an elaborate portrait using marker and ink, while his instructor, John Horne, follows his progress. Horne has been Doane’s instructor at the Spruill Center for the past five months.

“The primary purpose of the intersec tion project is to improve traffic flow by adding a left turn lane from Womack Road to Chamblee Dunwoody,” Public Works Director Michael Smith said. The sight line for drivers turning from Womack Road will also be improved so the No Right Turn on Red restriction can be removed. To make room for the left turn lane, Womack Road is being widened toward the library side. The slope is being cut back and replaced with a retaining wall along the edge of the library parking lot.

Horne’s interest in art started at an early age, and he had to shake off his parents’ disapproval of wanting to pursue it as a career. “I was born with a pencil in my mouth,” he said. Beside Horne, other Spruill Center instructors showed their art processes to passersby.StarrPetronella fused glass, using dif ferent tools and techniques. Betsy Ayers captivated a young audience, smearing acrylic paint with palette knives in what she called her typical introductory class setup.Inthe courtyard, members of the Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild gave loom lessons using a floor loom and a rigid-heddle loom. Membership Chair Susan Bennett gave instruction on how to operate the floor loom, which had foot pedals similar to a piano. Each pedal was marked by tape: L, 1, 2, 3, 4, R. Depend ing on the pattern, weavers rhythmically push on the appropriate pedal, drive the boat shuttle through the open space of string, then “beat” the string onto the preexisting weaved fabric.
“If we’re going to be a true community art center, people in the community need to know what’s offered here,” Mothner said.Along an inviting multicolored, paved path leading to the courtyard, longtime teaching artist John Horne gave drawing demonstrations beside two of his middleaged students, John Doane and Tim Vojta. While periodically asking visitors to color printed designs, the three diligently worked on separate pieces.
An hour or so into the event, Stage Door Theatre Development Director Joey Davila put on an improv show. Davila asked for volunteers to participate in different improv scenes. He told a story beside a group of brave souls who reacted with frozen poses. Davila said he’s been with Stage Door for about a year and has been doing improv for about five years. The event was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Dunwoody. Club member Charlie Augello said Dunwoody is finally getting a community explosion.
“We’re inviting people to come be part of the culture here,” Mothner said. Pop Up will return Sept. 17 for Spruill’s Back to Spruill Week, which will showcase special workshops and activities to start the fall quarter.

As part of the project, the stormwa ter drainage along Chamblee Dunwoody Road must be improved, and the older 4-foot-wide sidewalk will be replaced with a 6-foot-wide sidewalk. Construction cost is $2.1 million. The prevalence of utilities near the intersection will probably limit planting opportunities, but trees will be replanted elsewhere in the city to replace the ones removed in accordance with the city’s No Net Loss of Tree Policy, Smith said. Incorporating trees into design Peeler Road sidewalk project, com pleted in 2021, incorporated existing trees into the design. The project involved drainage enhance ments, bike lanes on both sides of the street, and flash beacon crosswalks for Brook Run Park access.
“I think this is what it’s all about,” AugelloWhilesaid.they’ve had pop-up events in the past, like the artist market, Pop Up in the Plaza is community centered. Spruill CEO Mothner invites the com munity to “come hang out, have a respite.”
“As Dunwoody strives to become more pedestrian and bike-friendly, we face some tough choices and carefully evaluate any tree removed,” he said. “Overall, our poli cies support a green city with plenty of trees and tree coverage to go around for everyone.”McLeod said the cost of tree replace ment comes from the city’s general fund budget, and developers pay into the tree recompense if they’re unable to re plant trees removed for projects on their properties.Dunwoody is also a part of the Front Yard Tree Planting Program and One Mil lion Trees initiative with Trees Atlanta.

Walgreens in Dun woody Village is about where Larkin Copeland’s store once sat. It was a two-level brick store on the east side of the Roswell Railroad tracks near the Dunwoody Depot. The first floor of the store featured an arched doorway and two arched windows on either side of the door. Copeland’s home was next door. Copeland married Lavada Ball in 1887. Both of their families had deep roots in Dunwoody. Copeland was one of nine children of Obediah and Salina Corley Co peland, whose home sat where Dunwoody Springs Elementary School now stands. Lavada Ball was the daughter of Mar tin and Martha Sentell Ball and grand daughter of Peter and Margaret Robertson Ball. Peter Ball operated the mill along what is known as Ball Mill Creek. The 1900 census shows Larkin Cope land as a farmer. By 1910, he is operating a store and his oldest son Howell works at the store. Larkin and Lavada’s other chil dren were Ethel, Fred and Grace. Cham blee Dunwoody Road was the path of the Roswell Railroad during this time, so the census identifies their street as Southern Railway.TheRoswell Historical Society and City of Roswell Research Library and Archives has a photo of the store. Along with the photo was a note identifying Larkin Elijah Copeland standing in front of his store in Dunwoody. It also identifies the location as being near the intersection of Cham blee Dunwoody and Mount Vernon roads. The photo is on a photo card addressed to Mrs. S.M. Copeland of Chamblee, Georgia, and dated 1908. A 1915 map of Dunwoody indicates that Larkin Copeland was planning to divide his land on Chamblee Dunwoody Road into several lots. He died in Novem ber of that year, and the development never happened. Lavada Ball later moved to Atlanta and lived until 1958. The spelling on the photograph of the store and on Larkin Copeland’s grave marker leaves the e out of Copeland. However, most other records of the family show the spelling Copeland. Their daughter Grace Copeland went on to run a grocery store in Atlanta along with her husband Dillard Blackwell. Blackwell’s Grocery was located at 1128 Oak Street in Atlanta. In “The Story of Dunwoody,” writ ten by Ethel W. Spruill and Elizabeth L. Davis in 1975, there is a documented memory of the Roswell Railroad which includes the Copeland store. The mem ory comes from Annie Roberts Wing, who married Henry Wing and was the daughter of Roswell Railroad engineer Ike Roberts. She remembered riding Old Buck, the engine of the Roswell Railroad, to Dunwoody to pick the first violets of spring and shop at Larkin Copeland’s store. Her purchases usually included shoes and some “eatables.”

The daily stock market machina tions and financial headlines will drive you crackers. Will the Federal Reserve Bank raise inter est rates 100 basis points? The market drops. Nope, the Fed-heads will only raise interest rates by 75 basis points. The market goes up. “Earning seasons slow start clouds market outlook,” noted The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), 7/18/22. Market goes down. A few days later the same paper declared, “Earnings propel 754-point rise in Dow.” Say what? It’s enough to cause “mental whip lash.” The week of July 18, the Fed raised interest rates again, and on 7/28 two quarters of negative GDP growth was an nounced which generally is considered a recession. But the president and his spokespersons said we really weren’t in a recession. The S&P 500 index rose by 1.21 percent that day. Some market watchers continue to opine that we’ll avoid a serious recession, or perhaps have “a soft landing,” whatever that means. Akin to a “soft car crash?” Is any market surge a “dead cat bounce” or the beginning of a recovery? Confounding questions.Talking heads generate daily buzz for the media. One can have strong opinions, but no one really knows what the market will do day-to-day. For you as an investor, it’s the long run that counts. If you believe in America and the beauty of a market economy, bet on growth over time. The legendary investor and wise teacher, Sir John M. Templeton (19122008), proclaimed, “The best time to invest is when you have money.” Whether or not younger investors are familiar with the wis dom of Sir John, a WSJ piece on 7/18/22 noted that despite nerve-wracking market jitters, “amateur investors see opportunity.”
The article states, “In March, individual investors bought $28 billion of U.S.-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds [ETFs] on a net basis – the largest sum ever re corded by Vanda research since it started tracking in 2014.” The paper stated that in a contrarian trend “institutional investors are doing the opposite.” When the so-called “smart money” sells, someone buys. If that’s you, buy ing because you have the money, stay the course and keep dollar-cost-averaging. In the long run, you’ll be a winner. Buy what you believe in and hang on for the long term. Early in the 1980s this writer met Bob James, one of the founders of what is now Raymond James Finan cial (RJF-NYSE). Liking his philosophies, and believing that his firm had a future in financial planning and asset manage ment, a modest investment was made in the company. Over the years, as the stock split multiple times, it was held through bear markets, sideways markets, and bull markets. Even a drop of close to 50 percent during one bear market was not sufficient to shake belief in the long run. In late June with the stock down 30 percent at the low compared to its one year high (52-week range $81.95-$117.37), at $90.63 the stock had a yield of 1.50 percent on dividends. Retired investors who savor dividends will hold good stocks through thick and thin because they like the dividend cash flow, especially when compared to still puny money market fund and bank interest. “Value stocks,” those paying respectable dividends, have held up well during recent turmoil compared to high-flying growth stocks with low yields or no dividends. When prices are down, those accumulating funds for retirement should consider allocations to solid dividend pay ers with growth prospects. Warren Buffett has long been a contrar ian investor worth emulating. Seeing the

PHOTOS BY HOLCOMBE FAMILY/PROVIDED Ebenezer School on Ebenezer Road was a two-room school that housed students from grades 1 through 6. It closed in 1933 and was consolidated with Northwest ern Elementary School.
Fannie’s son Bobby also remembers picking cotton. He says the cotton boll “would eat up your hand.” A cotton boll is made up of separate compartments in which up to 300 seeds grow. To pick the cotton from the bolls, Bobby had to twist the cotton out of the boll which was very sharp and would cut your hand if the cot ton was not twisted correctly. The family also operated a dairy farm with about 75 cows for about five years in the 1950s. They raised Guernsey, Jersey and Holstein cows and sold their milk to the Creatwood Farm Dairy in Smyrna. When young Fannie went to Ebenezer School in Roswell, after milking the cows before breakfast, she had to walk half a mile from her house to catch the school bus. One room of the two-room wooden schoolhouse accommodated grades 1 through 3 and the other housed grades 4 through 6. Each room had a woodburn ing stove. The curriculum was reading, writing and arithmetic.
Fannie Holcombe – four generations strong
Fannie Holcombe graduated from Milton High School in 1938.
The Holcombe Machine Shop has become a local landmark. Fannie and Otis Holcombe sit at a table with some of their German Pink and Big Boy tomatoes in 1999.
Fannie Holcombe was born in 1919 on Etris Road in Milton County. One of 11 children, she learned the meaning of hard work at an early age. Her father Wil liam Samuel Etris (1875–1956) grew cotton and corn on 40 acres. Corn was for turning into meal in their grist mill to feed the cows. He would also grind corn for neighbors in exchange for a portion of the meal. Cotton was the cash“Oh,crop.how my back hurt picking cot ton on my knees” Fannie recalls. Yes, she crawled between the rows of cotton because the large sack strapped around her shoulder had to be dragged along the ground and would weigh 100 pounds when full of picked cotton. Planting cotton was a complex, multi stage process involving a lot of plowing be hind a mule and a lot of hoeing by hand. Cotton growing and picking was a sun-up to sun-down job in the hot Georgia sun.
BOB MEYERS/APPEN MEDIA
MEYERSBOB
Fannie married Otis Holcombe (1916–2006) in 1939. He was raised on a farm on Providence Road in the Providence Community and was a trained machinist and mechanic. They had five children, 10 grandchildren – one deceased – and seven great-grandchildren. They lived initially on Cox Road, then on King Road in Milton. In 1960, they purchased a property on Mayfield Road. The previous owner, James Cash, was an automobile me chanic who built a concrete block work shop near his house. The workshop has become a local landmark with its faded sign HOLCOMBE’S MACHINE SHOP on the front exterior wall. People often stop by to have graduation photos taken in front of the workshop where Otis used to make small items for friends and custom ers. He obtained the necessary saws and other pieces of equipment from Elliot’s Business Machine Company in Atlanta where he was employed. Later he joined Simmons Engineering, a company in Roswell and Dallas that made machines for chicken processing plants, until his retirement.Fannie’s daughter, Kay Bagley, says that her father “would come home from work, go to the shop and make bowls, roll ing pins, jewelry and even a tractor” which the family still has parked by the shop.
PRESERVING THE PAST
Rodney Reese, Fannie’s grandnephew, recalls annual family reunions, usually at the home of Fannie’s sister Bertha Etris Cook (1902–2011) at her home on Etris Road. Bertha passed away at age 108. “It was a very close-knit family,” Rod neyWhensays. asked how the world has changed over the decades, Fannie says “back then, everyone went outside and played. Today, it is all about iPhones. Families visited one another, and when ever anyone needed help, the community pitchedBobbyin.”says “a handshake was a sign of trust.”Words to live by.
Fannie then attended Northwestern Elementary School, which was located where the Milton Community Church is today on Birmingham Highway. The school closed in 1992. She graduated from Milton High School in 1938. Fannie is a remarkable 102 years old. Physically strong and agile, she enjoys sewing and solving up to 1,000-piece puzzles which she can finish in three or four days. She is totally committed to the Atlanta Braves, so much so that the team sent her a Braves baseball cap on her 100thAccordingbirthday.to the U.S. Census Bu reau, in 2021 there were almost 98,000 centenarians in the United States. Bad news for our male readers, 83 percent of centenarians were female. The number reaching the century mark grew substan tially from 53,000 in 2010, but centenar ians still represent a very small percent age of the total population and a smaller percentage than in many other countries.
stress caused by overemphasis on “green new deal” and ESG initiatives, not only in mature economies like ours but also in emerging economies like Sri Lanka and Ghana, and recognizing that the global economy and supply chain still largely runs on fossil fuels, Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway now controls almost 20 percent of Occidental Petroleum’s stock (OXY) after buying another $250 million in shares in the oil producer in mid-July. The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF, XLE, has a 52-week trading range of $45.14 to $93.31. On July 29, 2022, the stock traded at 16 percent below its 52week high at $78.42, with a dividend yield of 3.57 percent. A bargain? Or will politics and the war on the American fossil fuels industry continue to weigh on the prices of fossil fuel related equities? Therein lies the rub. Never invest more than you can afford to lose, especially in the short run. In the long run, a well-diversified portfolio will bounce around in value but it is unlikely to go toAszero.amatter of disclosure, the mention of specific securities does not constitute advice to buy or sell those securities. They are cited only as examples. If you are a “do it yourself” investor, do your research and due diligence. If you work with an advisor, feel free to talk to your financial adviser relative to specific strategies and ideas. In his 1987 book, The Templeton Plan: 21 Steps to Success and Happiness,” Sir John noted that “people on the road to suc cess are not afraid to take calculated risks.” Successful investing is based on calculated risks and diversification over time.
