Neighbors celebrate as freshman finishes chemotherapy BY CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. – When 14-year-old Dunwoody resident Hannah Hazen came home Sept. 10 from her 12th and final round of chemotherapy, her village of friends, family and schoolmates came out to celebrate with her. Hazen, diagnosed in March with Hodgkin’s L ymphoma, had been undergoing a clinical trial that had been successful in adults, but just recently approved for children. Although the treatment was longer, the short- and long-term effects were milder than with traditional protocols. While she still suffered from bone and nerve pain, Hazen, a soccer and tennis player, managed to attend school, attend football games and other sporting events, and along with support from family and friends, raised $13,000 on May 2 running a 5K race called Lauren’s Run that supports pediatric cancer research. An email generated by parade organizers said that Hazen’s positivity has inspired everyone who knows her. “Throughout it all, Hannah has literally kept her smile and continued to inspire all those around with her incredible strength, bright light and determination not to miss out on anything fun,” the email stated. After her last treatment, friends and neighbors in the Wyntercreek subdivision decided to surprise Hazen and her family – parents Kristin and Brian, and brother Christopher - with a celebration as she returned that afternoon. More than 200 people lined
the street with encouraging signs, ringing cowbells, pink pom poms, and cheers of “Let’s Go Hannah” from the Dunwoody High School Football cheerleading squad. When she exited the car, she raised a glass of Martinelli’s apple juice, a Hazen family tradition on New Year’s Eve, to celebrate her new post-cancer life. “I was completely surprised and overwhelmed,” Hazen said. “I’m so thankful for everyone. I can’t believe they did this for me.” Kristen Hazen said she and her family were “blown away by the outpouring of support and the impact Hannah has had.” “We have been blessed by the incredible support from the village

of friends and family around us, and the excellent care from one of the best children’s cancer hospitals in the nation, CHOA at Scottish Rite,” she said. “Hannah has brough our community closer and she’s been an inspiration to all. She never let cancer slow her down.” Hazen also credited the community for their acts of kindness – from meal deliveries to Friday rosary recitations in the cul-de-sac, as well as support from their church, St. Jude the Apostle. Hannah, a freshman at DHS, said she is looking forward to restoring some sense of normalcy, with a return to sports being a top priority. “I’m excited for the future,” she said.

Man accused of swindling 87-year-old thru repair job DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police arrested a Dunwoody man Sept. 1 on Mile Post Drive after he reportedly tried to swindle an 87-year-old man. David Mark Michel, 36, was charged with exploitation of the elderly. Police said he met the victim in a Publix parking lot and convinced the victim to pay him $600 to fix the bumper on his SUV. After fixing the bumper, Michel allegedly told the victim he needed more work done on the vehicle and quoted $8,400 for the repairs. The victim told officers he misread the estimate and thought it would cost $840. According to police Michel took the victim to the bank and persuaded him to withdraw $8,400. The elderly man said he only gave Michel $7,400 because he wanted a senior citizen discount. While the two were gone, the elderly man’s wife called 911 and alleged that a strange man was demanding money. Investigators arrived and asked Michel

Officers allowed Michel to keep $600 for the repairs he did.
Police respond to burglary at Ashford Dunwoody bar DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police investigated an Aug. 30 burglary at the Brass Tap along Ashford Dunwoody Road. The bar’s owner told officers surveillance cameras showed a man break in just after 4:30 a.m. He removed the front door keys from a key box used by delivery drivers.

City seeks input on future parks BY CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. – Dunwoody residents are passionate about their greenspaceand they are making their voices heard regarding two future parks within the city limits. While the preliminary feedback has been mostly positive, some residents whose backyards abut the Vermack Road property want the city to ensure that the park doesn’t intrude on their privacy by guaranteeing the establishment of a 35foot buffer or fence. Less than 24 hours after an online survey opened on the city’s website, more than 300 residents have expressed their opinions about amenities that they would like to see at two recently purchased pieces of land- a 9-acre tract on Vermack Road and 10-acre piece of land on Robert’s Drive that formerly housed Austin Elementary School. Along with the online survey (https:// www.dunwoodyga.gov/government/projects/park-construction/parks-masterplanning-2021), attendees of a Sept. 9 Food Truck Thursday event at Brook Run Park were given the opportunity to weigh in using the city’s on-site laptops. City officials were on hand to provide information and had erected posters that showed the areas under consideration for future amenities. “We are very pleased with the feedback we’ve gotten so far,” Dunwoody Mayor Lynn Deutsch said. “We will take all the data we receive and formulate what these parks could look like, and then gather more feedback.” In particular, Deutsch said she has had comments from a group of second graders that the city’s parks are missing “big kids’ playgrounds,” that would offer a challenge for children aged seven and up. The online survey, which is open until Sept. 17, “seeks to avoid replicating wellestablished amenities already offered in other Dunwoody parks, like the dog park, amphitheater, skate park, and disc golf.” The survey asks a variety of questions, including the respondent’s proximity to the Vermack Road and Roberts Drive properties, and the method by which the respondent would access the park – car, on foot, or bicycle. It also asks for the age category for the primary user of the park. The Vermack Road portion of the survey asks respondents to rank importance in the following categories – open lawn, small community center, fitness stations, community garden, playgrounds for children aged 2-5, playgrounds for children 6-12, and public art venues. The Roberts Drive portion of the survey asks respondents to rank importance in the following categories – sports fields, ball fields, tennis courts, fitness stations,

Mayor Lynn Deutsch offers her perspective to residents at Food Truck Thursday about the future parks to be developed on Vermack Road and Roberts Drive. splash pads, and playgrounds. While the development of the Vermack property into a park is probably years from fruition, several neighbors in the area have requested a meeting with city officials to ensure that their concerns are being addressed prior to its design. An email to Deutsch and other city officials requested a meeting be held in order to “reach an agreement on how the concerns of the adjacent property owners to the park and surrounding community will be addressed.” “It’s imperative this is addressed and formally agreed to before any master plan is put out to the public for input,” the email said. “On this note are 25 families (that have young children) who are very concerned regarding their safety, privacy, disruptions to everyday life, etc. the park will bring. Our strong desire is to work together to reach an agreement that addresses our concerns and then let the broader community provide feedback regarding how the park will be designed to meet their desires.” In her response to the homeowners, Deutsch agreed to have a meeting after the surveys come back from the community.

Police wear commemorative badges on anniversary of terrorist attacks DUNWOODY, Ga. — To pay tribute to those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001 and to honor the sacrifices of those who answered the call to serve in the war on terror, members of the Dunwoody Police Department are wearing 20th anniversary commemorative badges and pins on their uniforms during the month of September. “Each of us remembers where we were when the United States was attacked on 9/11,” said Dunwoody Police Chief Billy Grogan. “We also remember those who died on that day, those who have died since then keeping us safe, and those who have protected us at home and abroad.” The September 11th attacks were a defining moment for civilian staff and officers, some of whom signed up for military service and served in response. The pin and badge include the words “Never Forget” with symbols of American flag, the Twin Towers and the dates 9-11-01 and 9-11-21. “As the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 approaches, we wear our 20th Anniversary commemorative 9/11 pins and badges so we never forget those sacrifices and to remember the members of our department who served overseas in the last 20 years,” Chief Grogan added.

PAST TENSE
OPINION
Jean Fallon’s 1996 Olympic experience: hosting the North Korean delegation Jean Reid Fallon of Dunwoody contacted me to share her unusual experiences during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. To fully understand her Olympic story, we must first go back to before she met her VALERIE husband, Patrick FalBIGGERSTAFF lon. Jean Reid attended the 1964 Innsbruck, Austria Olympics while working in Wiesbaden, Germany for the Chief of Staff, U. S. Air Force Europe. At the Olympics she met Uri Gagarin, Russian cosmonaut who was the first man in space. “I couldn’t imagine anything more exciting,” she recalls, “much less opening my home to a group of communist citizens in Atlanta, 32 years later.” Jean met her husband, Pat Fallon, in Germany. He had recently been promoted to Colonel in the Air Force. They married in 1965 and lived the next two years at Incirlik Turkish-American Air Base in Adana, Turkey. Pat Fallon had already served in World War II and the Korean War. He was awarded a Purple Heart by Dwight D.
Eisenhower in Korea. Their first daughter, Jeanie, was born in Turkey in 1967. After leaving Turkey, Pat volunteered for duty in Southeast Asia and was sent to Eglin Air Force Base, Florida for survival training. Their second daughter, Cappie, was born at Eglin AFB hospital. Five days after Jean came home from the hospital, Pat left for Nakhon Phanom, Thailand. It was September of 1968. Jean looks back on the time. “Pat told me Thailand was not a dangerous assignment. However, there was a Secret War in Laos at the time. He was Vice Commander of the 56th Air Commando Wing with 500 aircraft. He chose to fly the A1E Skyraider on his time off. He never asked his men to do anything that he couldn’t do.” Fallon was awarded a purple heart at Nakhon Phanom. On July 4, 1969, he went on a mission over the Plain of Jars, Laos. His plane was shot down over a Laotian Battalion Headquarters. Although he parachuted safely, Fallon was captured and became a POW/ MIA soldier. “I was not allowed at the time to say where he was shot down because of the Secret War in Laos,” “I immediately joined the National League of POW/MIA families. Their mission is to obtain a full accounting of POW/
MIA soldiers of the Vietnam and Korean Wars. Today, the effort also includes, WWII, the Cold War and every conflict.” In July of 1996, New Jersey restaurant owner Bobby Egan asked Jean Fallon to host the North Korean Olympic delegation at her Atlanta home. Egan was actively involved in working with the government to get five known American POWs in Pyongyang, North Korea released. He hoped the gesture would lead to more information about missing American soldiers. North Korea is represented through its mission to the United Nations in New York, rather than an embassy in Washington, D. C. The North Koreans were restricted to travel within 25 miles of their mission headquarters. Egan’s restaurant was within that radius, and he frequently invited them to dine. In addition to the Olympic delegation, all the North Korean mission personnel received special permission from President Clinton to travel to Atlanta for the Olympic games. “Egan told me I would be hosting four or five people, which sounded manageable.” Fallon lived in Breckenridge subdivision off Lavista Road near Northlake Mall at the time. The North Korean Ambassador was Mr.

Kim. “Two men, CEO to the Ambassador Mr. Han and another man from the North Korean Mission, arrived to inspect my house and its location, to see if it was safe and close enough to the Olympic Village at Georgia Tech.” Ambassador Kim, Mr. Han, and the other mission representative spoke English. When the day arrived for her visitors, Jean Fallon recalls, “A van load of people arrived, and no one spoke English. Not one person from the North Korean mission had ever been in an American home or had an American home cooked meal.” Look for part 2 of Jean Fallon’s experience in next week’s Dunwoody Crier.

THE INVESTMENT COACH
AppenMedia.com/Dunwoody | Dunwoody Crier | September 16, 2021 | 9
The green energy quest and reality In 1849, Abraham Lincoln invented a device to lift boats over shoals, and he remains the only American president to be granted a patent. Lincoln also was intrigued LEWIS J. WALKER, CFP with wind power. In a lecture on inventions and discoveries in 1860 he ruminated, “As yet, the wind is an untamed and unharnessed force; and quite possibly one the greatest discoveries hereafter to be made, will be the taming, and harnessing of it.” Fast-forward 161 years. We’re still trumpeting wind power and other renewable energy resources as “the future.” Speculative enthusiasm has pushed green energy stocks to stratospheric valuations. Anything “green” volatile stocks like Tesla, special purpose acquisition companies (SPACS), clean energy ETFs, etc. is attracting gobs of money. Realize that a dose of reality may bring some prices back to terra firma as failures and setbacks plague the market. Electric cars (EVs) currently comprise 3 percent of total vehicle sales nationwide. The Wall Street Journal, 7/26/21, reported that the Electric Highway Coalition seeks to build an EV “fast charging” network spanning a large portion of America. One charging unit and stall costs about $110,000 to build, and we’d need stations about every 50 miles on popular highways. A 50-unit recharging station on a busy
interstate highway would cost $5.5 million. President Biden proposes spending billions for charging stations as part of his infrastructure plan. But until charging stations are as ubiquitous as gas stations, the Great American Road Trip will be confined largely to gas-powered vehicles. However, gas-powered vehicles represent the single largest source of America’s greenhouse gases, producing more than 25 percent of emissions. (New York Times (8/6/21). Obviously, increasing EV use is a desirable goal. President Biden has said that by 2030, half of all vehicle sales should be electric. That’s an ambitious target for less than nine years away. EVs are powered by energy intensive lithium-ion batteries, and a tremendous amount of energy goes into just manufacturing the batteries. That fact points to other challenges. One major issue involves the sourcing of critical materials. A report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), May, 2021, notes, “Wind, solar, and battery technologies are built from an array of ‘energy transition minerals’ (ETMs) that must be mined and processed.” Demand for lithium, nickel, graphite and rare-earth minerals is set to explode by 2035-2040. However, declares energy expert Mark Mills, there are no current plans to fund and build the needed mines and refineries. “The supply of ETMs is entirely aspirational,” says he. (WSJ, “Biden’s Not-So-Clean Energy Transition,” 5/12/21). Mills notes that a land-based wind plant sucks up nine times more min-
PUBLIC NOTICE The IDA Dyslexia Dash Returns to In Person in 2021 The International Dyslexia Association branch of Georgia will host their 15th annual Dyslexia Dash 5K run/walk on October 16th. The event will take place in person at 8:30am at Perimeter Mall. Those interested in participating virtually can do so from October 2nd to the 16th in conjunction with Dyslexia Awareness Month. The Dyslexia Dash helps to fund teacher literacy training in Georgia. This is a unique opportunity for anyone interested in supporting literacy initiatives in Georgia. Participants will receive a commemorative 2022 t-shirt and medal, race bag, and lots of swag. To participate in this year’s event, please visit https://ga.dyslexiaida.org/2021-dyslexia-dash/.
eral resources than a natural gas-fired power plant, and a typical EV requires six times the mineral inputs of a conventional car. The IEA sees the movement toward EVs as representing “a shift from a fuel-intensive to a materialintensive energy system.” Adds Mills, “That means a shift away from liquids and gases whose extraction and transport leave a very light footprint on the land and are transported easily, cheaply and efficiently, and toward big-footprint mines, the energyintensive transport of massive amounts of rocks and other solid materials, and subsequent chemical processing and refining.” The 2,700 page Senate infrastructure bill offers massive subsidies to support breakthroughs in battery technology and charging station efficiency, as well as concepts as diverse as carbon capture, clean hydrogen, advanced nuclear reactor projects, and “drawing board ideas” with promise. The federal government is moving toward an increased role as a “venture capitalist” using dollars extracted from taxpayers and dollars borrowed or printed, all with fiscal policy implications. With billions and even trillions of dollars sloshing around, investors will be challenged to consider winners and losers in our race to a cleaner tomorrow. Existing technology will need upgrades. Early model wind turbines are requiring more expensive maintenance than contemplated, and they are failing at higher rates than expected. The same challenges plague photovoltaic solar (PV) facilities which also are degrading at a rate faster than
expected. Currently, 20 percent of the energy generated in America comes from sustainable sources. Aspirations of further progress are bedeviled by high costs and/or unproven technology. But good news in the quest for cleaner energy and environmental care may be seen in comments by economic and public policy expert Stephen Moore posted on ramussenreports.com, 8/3/21. Said Moore, “The U.S. is blowing out the rest of the world in tech leadership. No other country in the world comes anywhere close in tech leadership and the dominance of our made-in-America 21stcentury companies.” Inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs press on and advances will come. Hydrogen, nanotechnology, and small modular nuclear reactors hold promise. Professional money managers and venture capitalists strive to separate hype and the madness of crowds from truly promising breakthroughs worthy of investment for serious long-term wealthbuilders and wealth-preservationists. In our critical journey to a sustainable tomorrow, money will be made and money lost. That’s the nature of progress.

Along time ago - it feels like a hundred years - when I was in college, I took karate classes. The style - Cuong Nhu was a relatively new style - a mix of other styles both “hard” and “soft” and the RAY APPEN founder, O’Sensei Publisher Emeritus ray@appenmedia.com Ngo Dong, lived and taught in Gainesville, Florida where he was a PhD student of Entomology. After returning to Vietnam in 1973, he became president of a community college and local organizer. Towards the end of the war in the early 70’s the Viet Cong had his family under house arrest. They fled Vietnam and were one of “the boat people” who left Vietnam in a small boat to escape. After immigrating to the United States, Sensei Dong continued teaching his style of martial arts which has spread across the United States and in other parts of the world. My sister Allyson took up the style when she went to UF and, unlike me, she continued her training until this day and is now one of the highest-ranking women in the style. She still teaches and tests the black belts around the country and has been my conduit to keeping touch with my karate friends from way back then. One thing that I will never forget about Cuong Nhu was meeting the founder. O’Sensei Dong was a not a large man and probably never weighed more than 160 pounds, if that. He held elite black belt rankings in multiple styles - Wing Chun, Vovinam, Shotokan, and Judo. Later in life, he took up distance running and completed 23 marathons, 8 ultra-marathons (of 50 miles), and 14 100 mile ultras. That is, this man was not like you or me; he was more like some superhero from Marvel, but in real life. He feared no man. When he began declining from early onset Alzheimer’s Disease, his son Quynh took over the leadership of Cuong Nhu. I only met his son Quynh a couple times. Like his father, Quynh was not a big guy. Think of someone a cross between Bruce Lee, Mohammad Ali, and Roger Federer - lightening fast, fearless, intense, and intimidating —someone who walks into the room and takes all the air from it. And you know, Ali used to brag that he could turn out the lights and get into bed under the blankets before the lights went out. Of course, that was an exaggeration because no one could be that fast. Except Quynh. In less than the blink of an eye he could be behind an opponent or to the side or planting a kick at head level or higher
before the other guy even saw him move. He was that good, that strong, that fast. I feel safe in saying that he was probably the most fit human I have ever seen or met. So, on with the story. Yesterday, my sister called me. “Quynh is dead,” she said. He was 57 years old and left behind a wife, three children and a stepson, many professional colleagues, neighbors, a world-wide school of martial arts with thousands of students, and his father’s mission. Dead at 57 just made no sense when I heard the news. No way. Afterall, he was too strong, too fit, and too special for anything like a virus called Covid-19 to catch up with him, much less kill him in less than a few weeks. He died like so many others, struggling for each breath. Imagine that for yourself. Yes, even the mighty Quynh (pronounced “Quin”) was a weakling compared to this insidious virus and, yes, his number did come up, didn’t it? I can forgive him for leaving us at such a young age. But I cannot forgive him for completely missing what this whole thing is about and that it wasn’t all about him — in fact it had almost nothing to do with him. Getting vaccinated is all about everyone else - Quynh’s family, his children who may have been infected or their school mates or their teachers who may have infected or ultimately killed. I can’t forgive him for possibly infecting the people he worked with in the office, or the clerk he talked to at the grocery store, or the next-door neighbor’s kid who came over to speak with him. I can’t forgive him for possibly infecting and killing the waitress at the restaurant he dined in or his neighbor’s mother who he greeted. Why did this amazing, talented, disciplined, intelligent man think that vaccinations have anything at all to do with just him? How is that possible? It’s not all about you. It is about respect for everyone around you - for humanity. And, it’s not about your “rights.” In relative terms, you don’t have this right. It’s not about who you vote for or who you are. It’s about the fact that you don’t have the right to potentially infect and kill other people because you think you have the right not to get vaccinated. You don’t have that right, sorry. I am so sorry. We all are. Maybe Quynh’s legacy will be that his death at 57 will inspire some of the almost 40% who are not vaccinated, to wake up and go do the right thing — and get vaccinated. Rest in peace Grandmaster Quynh.

Ann Darby Hood Price Kimbel passed away in California on September 3, 2021, at the age of 83. Ann was a 36-year resident of Dunwoody and parishioner of All Saints Church prior to her move to California in 2019. KIMBEL Ann was born in Ashland, KY on September 27, 1937, to her loving parents, Minnie Anne and Charles Hood. She was the eldest child in her family and enjoyed five years as an only child, being showered with love and attention from her large extended family who lived nearby. At the age of 5 she became a big sister and took on this role with gusto as four siblings arrived over the next seven years. At the age of six, Ann contracted tuberculosis and had to spend the entire year in bed. This year of solitude fueled Ann’s imagination and creative abilities. Ann and her siblings attended Holy Family Parish and School where she was a straight A+ student and winner of the city spelling championship. Ann was a high school cheerleader when she met Gary Price who was the star basketball player of Holy Family’s crosstown rival. She and Gary married and had five children over the next nine years - Gary Jr., Marty, Jennifer, Kevin, and Jody. While raising her five children, Ann studied at Ashland Community College with a focus on writing. She continued to study at local schools as they relocated from Ashland to Cincinnati to Dallas to Chicago and finally to
Dunwoody in 1983. During this time, she discovered her passion and skill for watercolor painting which she continued through her final years. Ann found love a second time in 1989 when she was introduced by a friend to Bill Kimbel. Ann and Bill hit it off immediately and were married a year later. They enjoyed many years of active participation in their church community, travel, including multiple international cruises, and created a loving and welcoming home. Ann was the life of every room that she entered, making friends easily with a combination of her southern charm and steadfast loyalty. Her passions included her Catholic faith, watercolor painting, playing bridge with friends, and her beloved Corgis. She was enthusiastically engaged in the lives of her grandchildren, being present at most of their births, sacraments, graduations, and other special moments. She was thrilled to have become a great-grandmother in recent years. She was a longstanding member of the Dunwoody Women’s Club, The Dunwoody Fine Art Association, the Saint Margaret of Scotland Circle, and a former art teacher at P.A.L.S. Visitation was held on Sunday, September 12, 2021, from 6:00 - 8:00pm, Patterson Oglethorpe Chapel, 4550 Peachtree Rd. NE Atlanta, GA 30319. A Funeral Mass was conducted on Monday, September 13, 2021, at 11:00am at All Saints Catholic Church, 2443 Mt. Vernon Rd. Atlanta, GA 30338. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in her name to the Alzheimer’s Association at act.alz.org.
