Dunwoody considers ordinance to protect pedestrians, cyclists By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Council made changes to a proposed biker and pedestrian safety ordinance at its Sept. 23 meeting. The ordinance was designed to protect walkers, bikers, scooter users, utility workers and other travelers not protected by the shell of an automobile, termed “vulnerable road users” or VRUs. The ordinance would establish rules for all types of travelers sharing the road, prohibit intimidation actions against VRUs and protect drivers from liability if bikers or pedestrians act recklessly or unlawfully. The ordinance was introduced by Councilman Tom Lambert based on a similar code in Houston. Though several cities and some states have some form of VRU law, Dunwoody would be the first municipality in Georgia to adopt the rules. Nearly 80 percent of roads in the city do not have sidewalks, Lambert said, and 90 percent do not have bike lanes, Lambert said. The council consistently hears from residents who want Dunwoody to be a more pedestrian and bike friendly city. Creating infrastructure — sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes and other trails — is part of the solution, but doing it is costly and time consuming, and other changes are needed, Lambert argued. “I really believe a lot of the value is in the areas where that infrastructure doesn’t exist because we’re clearly defining the responsibility of both the motorist and the VRU,” Lambert said. Lambert said the law would create

Despite a desire to make Dunwoody more bike-friendly, only 10 percent of roads in the city have bike lanes. If passed, the “vulnerable road users” ordinance would grant increased protections to bicyclists. clear guidelines so that drivers who are confused by existing traffic laws would understand how to safely navigate around pedestrians and bikers. It would also send a message to motorists who think they own the road that the city does not endorse that attitude. The ordinance would prohibit “road rage” behavior like throwing an object at another road user, maneuvering a car in a manner intended to intimidate or overtaking a VRU and then immediately turning in front of them. “The intent of this ordinance is not

to be punitive,” Lambert said. “It’s to educate and change behavior.” The other council members generally seemed in favor of the concept behind the VRU ordinance but took issue with some of the specifics. The rule that commercial vehicles and heavy trucks would have to leave at least 6 feet of space when passing a pedestrian or biker was deemed unrealistic for Dunwoody. “On Chamblee-Dunwoody, and probably Tilly Mill, at certain times of day there is nowhere to go,” Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch said. “You cannot ever get
into the other lane … I’m all for people cycling and walking because with traffic, the fewer cars we have it helps, but the reality of traffic in Dunwoody on certain major thoroughfares makes it a little hard to imagine 6 feet for a commercial vehicle.” The city staff was instructed to remove that language before the next read. With this change commercial vehicles and all trucks would follow the same rule as passenger cars: three feet of space when passing. The council also instructed staff to adjust some definitions and require pedestrians walking in the roadway to wear reflective gear. “[Opponents have] tried to categorize this as an anti-driver law, and nothing could be further from the truth,” Lambert said. “VRUs also have a responsibility to behave applicable traffic laws and look out for their own safety.” If the ordinance passes, drivers would be required to yield to VRUs when turning and move into the far lane when passing a VRU or if there is sufficient room between the driver and VRU, reduce speed while passing. Pedestrians would be required to walk on sidewalks where they are accessible and safe to use. If there are no sidewalks, pedestrians would be instructed to walk on the shoulder or outside edge of the roadway facing traffic, unless on a one-way road. Bikers would be required to be as near to the right side of the road as is safe, unless preparing to make a turn or overtaking another traveler. Two residents spoke during public comment: one in favor and one against the proposal.

Post 4 council candidates offer platforms, priorities DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody voters will pick a new mayor this Nov. 5, with three City Council seats also up for election. While Post 6 Councilman John Heneghan will run for reelection unopposed, Post 4 Councilman Terry Nall and Post 5 Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch will be competing for mayor, leaving open races for their seats. To help inform voters, the Dunwoody Crier asked each of the candidates: 1. Why are you running for City Council? 2. What experiences or skills would you bring to the city? 3. If elected, what would be your top priorities? Editor’s note: A technical issue last week resulted in one of the candidates for City Council Post 4 being omitted from the Sept. 26 issue of The Dunwoody Crier. As a result, and in fairness, we are running responses from both candidates vying for the seat. City Council Post 4 Stacey Harris Q1. I’ve dedicated over a decade to working at every level within our community because I truly enjoy working to make our city the best it can be. Dunwoody has made strides since HARRIS incorporating and it is now time to prepare for the next chapter by enhancing transportation, Dunwoody Village, our schools and our parks. Q2. I have been involved with the Dunwoody Homeowners Association, the Zoning Board of Appeals, Sustainability Commission and Dunwoody Nature Center. I also bring professional experience as a small business owner. Q3. To establish a plan for the old Austin
site and see it through to fruition, the redevelopment of Dunwoody Village, to make sure our Dunwoody school teams have priority access to the new ball fields in Brook Run, to use our influence as a city to enact positive change within the school system, and to maintain a balance between development and its impact on traffic, schools and residential neighborhoods. Robert Miller Q1. There were two major reasons I moved to Dunwoody in 1998: the great location and the great schools. Our schools are experiencing a facilities crisis. While the city does not control the school MILLER district, the city must take a more robust and assertive posture with the school district regarding the condition of their facilities. I would start with an ordinance addressing educational trailers. Q2. I studied construction management and real estate at Purdue University and Georgia State. My career has provided me extensive experience in construction, real estate development and property management. I have been with the Comprehensive Master Plan Committee, Perimeter Sounding Board, Dekalb County SPLOST project development committee and the Dunwoody Development Board. Q3. Engaging the city in making our school facilities safe; removing barriers that keep small business from starting and growing; Providing prudent fiscal management and ensuring transparency in our city government — meetings, decisions and financials.

Early schoolteachers in Georgia often received their training at what was known as normal school. Normal schools were established in Georgia toward the end of the 19th century to VALERIE prepare teachers to BIGGERSTAFF teach elementary aged students. It was usually a two-year program and the term “normal” referred to establishing clear standards or “norms” for public schools. Normal schools for teacher training were set up in the northeastern part of the United States in the early to mid19th century. In Georgia, it was in the late 1800s. Some normal schools were later called teaching colleges.

students and is often referred to as their favorite teacher. Annie Houze Cook also attended the State Normal School. She began teaching in 1910 at Crossroads School where Mount Vernon Highway and Powers Ferry Road meet in Sandy Springs. Later, she taught at Hammond School and then opened her own kindergarten at Providence Baptist Church in Sandy Springs. There are many who remember her fondly as well. Teachers also came from women’s colleges across the state. Long-time teacher at Brookhaven School, Louise Davis, attended Agnes Scott College. She came to Brookhaven School immediately after completing her education in 1927 and remained there for 25 years, eventually serving as principal. The Georgia Legislature passed a bill in 1892 to create a State Normal School, however no funds were appropriated for its operation. The University of Georgia gave $1,000 toward the effort and a few private donations were made. A separate school was set up because women were not allowed to attend the University of Georgia at that time. The school was housed in the only building

available, a building known as the old Rock College. Teachers went to class, ate meals, studied and slept in this building. (Atlanta Constitution, December 4, 1904) Some of the requirements for the teacher candidates included a minimum age of 17, good moral character and good health. They also were required to pledge to teach after attending normal school. The school was free to Georgia residents and $50 for non-residents. (Atlanta Constitution, April 18, 1895) Before there was a State Normal School in Athens, there was a normal school in Milledgeville known as Georgia Normal and Industrial College. The college opened in 1889 as a two-year college for teacher training and business skills for women. In 1922, Georgia Normal and Industrial College became Georgia State College for Women. The college became coeducational in 1967 and is known today as Georgia College and State University. The name given to the early teacher’s school lives on in Athens, in an area known as Normaltown. Even businesses carry the name, such as Normal Hardware and Normal Bar.

5 tips for increasing your Atlanta home’s value Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty When you decide to put your home up for Rawlings sale, you naturally want to recoup as much of your investment as possible. Just as important, you want to be assured you’re getting paid the full value of what your home is worth. In the robust Atlanta housing market, first-time Atlanta home sellers often make the mistake of assuming their home will gain a good price based on demand alone, not realizing how competitive the market really is. To boost your Atlanta home’s value, keep the following five tips in mind. Update the kitchen Experts agree that kitchen remodels
tend to bring the most value for the dollar, primarily because, for most homebuyers, the kitchen is the most important room in the home. A spruced-up kitchen can boost your home’s value by as much as 7 percent. Even minor updates like upgrading appliances and hardware will produce good results. For a bigger impact at the closing table, consider updating the countertops to quartz, marble or granite and installing stainless steel appliances. Update the bathrooms Similar to the kitchen, your bathrooms will have a high yield per dollar spent. Again, minor improvements like fresh paint, hardware and caulking will benefit you somewhat, but anything up to a full gut and remodel will be a value booster. For maximum impact, consider replacing the tub, countertops, fixtures and tile and install a new toilet if necessary.

From paint to wallpaper to flooring, this neutral shade is oh-so-on-trend. And it’s not hard to see why. The popular hue can blend seamlessly with any design style, and while your furniture and decor might come and go, your classic walls can remain the same. Want to know how you can update your classic beige north Atlanta home? Lead Designer, Brittany Lingerfelt, has been incorporating greige into north Atlanta homes for several years. Here are a few of her ideas that will renew your home. Neutral Greige Works with What You Have Part of the appeal of greige is that it works with existing dark stained furniture, wall trim or cabinets. It’s a great way to lighten up your home without needing to sell everything you own. You can go greige in the master bathroom and leave beige in the master bedroom. It may seem like a small change but it will make your rooms feeler cooler, and larger. Match Your Artwork The deliciously neutral wall shade in a living room blends perfectly with a similarly hued piece of artwork and a curved table lamp sitting on top of a rustic console, and complemented by a rug with some cool tones. If you’ve been staring at the same picture on the wall for 25 years: change it out. Pictures with water scenes will work really well. Pair With White for a Coastal Look One of the many benefits of a neutral living room color idea is the fact that it has the lightness of gray with the
warmth of beige, so there’s no chance of this shade looking cold. You can create a different ambience with greige depending on what you choose to pair it with. Keep it warm with more taupe and beige tones, or make it fresh with a chalky white. Greige in the Kitchen Transition the beige in the family room to greige in the kitchen and use this opportunity to update the kitchen. Greige paint on the walls complemented by a clean white cabinet looks absolutely gorgeous. Then on the island, you can go a little crazy with a cool grey cabinet. Top it all off with a marble looking quartz counter and you have a milliondollar-looking kitchen. Make a Statement Why not go all out with your living room color idea and match your furniture with your walls? A tone-on-tone greige approach can look extremely slick, especially if you keep the rest of the monochromatic look clean and streamlined. This approach is a little more comprehensive but you’ll feel like you live in a totally new home. Greige in the Bathroom The bathroom is the room that undoubtedly looks the best in greige, because you can incorporate it everywhere: shower pan, shower walls, floor and cabinets. Tile is a cool surface to begin with and using a combination of greys and beiges, perhaps in a marbleized porcelain tile, looks fantastic.

Value: Continued from Page 10 Add square footage The more usable square footage your home has, the higher its appraisal value. Finishing out a basement or attic is a great way to add extra rooms and living space. Converting a “bonus” room to an extra en suite bedroom can also be a plus. Building an add-on or stand-alone in-law suite can garner an increase in value in the tens of thousands of dollars. Make it energy efficient With so much attention on energy efficiency and environmental friendliness, you can’t go wrong by taking steps to lower your home’s energy output and costs. From simple steps like weatherproofing and insulation, to replacing drafty doors and windows, anything you can do to reduce energy bills for the next owners can get you more money at the closing table. Even if it doesn’t boost your home’s appraisal value, it will certainly boost your home’s perceived value, and energy-conscious buyers will gladly pay more for these features. Spruce it up — inside and out The “lived-in” look may sell blue jeans, but it doesn’t do so well with homes. First impressions matter; buyers generally decide within the first seven
seconds whether they are interested in your home. If your home’s curb appeal is lacking—especially compared to other homes on your street—consider sprucing it up with landscaping, decluttering, fresh paint and maybe a new front door. Likewise, make sure the interior is spotless and decluttered for showing. A fresh coat of paint still goes a long way in improving both perceived and actual value. The experts at Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty may have more detailed advice on how to get the most value for your home when you are ready to sell. Give us a call at 770.442.7300.

The INK PENN
Music, the fabric of my life It’s been a musical few weeks for me, and the old cotton commercial came to mind: “Cotton, the fabric of our lives.” For me, it’s music, not cotton. I can’t sing, and I can’t dance, but listenKATHY ing to music is a MANOS PENN must. That’s why my husband gave me one last portable CD player last Christmas, so I could listen to my favorite CDs in my home office. When I heard about the limited run of “Linda Rondstadt: The Sound of my Voice,” I had to see it. I wasn’t disappointed, and I rate it a must-see film. I’ve enjoyed Linda Rondstadt’s music on vinyl, cassette tape, and CD. I recognized almost all of the songs, was happily reminded of music I’d forgotten, and learned a few new things as well. Who knew that Don Henley and Glen Frey first met when they toured with her? I had a vague idea she starred on Broadway in “Pirates of Penzance” and was intrigued by scenes from that performance. Actor Kevin

Kline recalled being skeptical of Rondstadt’s ability to act in a musical but was soon charmed by the power and range of her voice. Singer Jackson Browne described her as an auteur. In the movie world, the word means a “filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie.” For Linda Rondstadt, I interpret it to mean she took songs that others wrote or performed and made them her own. That made me think of Frank Sinatra who was famous for his musical phrasing. Singer and songwriter Karla Bonoff expressed a similar sentiment about her songs recorded by Rondstadt, most notably “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me.” It’s not news that Rondstadt was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease which impacted her ability to sing — she played her last show in 2009. Suffice it to say I cried as I watched the ending. For me, it was a powerful tale. We’ve also enjoyed Ken Burns’ “Country Music” on PBS. There are too many talented artists to name, but I’ve been most struck by Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. I guess I never
realized what a powerful performer and influencer Johnny Cash was — giving breaks to the likes of Kristofferson and promoting singers like Bob Dylan. Kristofferson is a prolific songwriter but has never considered himself a good singer. Somehow though, his gravelly voice works. Most of us know he wrote “Me and Bobby McGee,” but he’s written countless other hits like “Help Me Make
it Through the Night,” “Sunday Morning Coming Down,” and “For the Good Times.” When I heard Larry Gatlin speak of Kristofferson’s way with words, I was fascinated. I knew he was a Rhodes Scholar in English Literature, but listening closely to his lyrics brought home how that background informed his writing. As Gatlin and also Charlie Pride emphasized, no one else puts words together the way Kristofferson does. When I watch the series again, other performers may stand out for me. Perhaps these two did because I became aware of them in my teens and 20s — my formative years. Willie and Waylon are also favorites from that time. Rest assured, I’ll be watching several segments again along with the accompanying concert, all of which we’ve taped. And, next year, when the Rondstadt film is shown on CNN, it too will be recorded and enjoyed. For now, I’m making do with my CDs. Kathy is a Sandy Springs resident.

OPINION
The Investment Coach
Steps to an enduring marriage A recent column, “What are the odds?” noted that about 41 percent of first marriages, 60 percent of second marriages, and 73 percent of third marriages in divorce Lewis J. Walker, CFP end or separation. A Dunwoody Crier reader asked, “How about a column on marriages that last?” He and his wife are celebrating 61 years together! While many believe that divorce rates in general approach 50 percent, the good news is that the divorce rate has been going down for decades, recognizing that divorce rates are hard to measure and different numbers float around. The key is, if you are contemplating marriage, or are married, how do you increase the odds of marital success? In taking our dear reader up on his request, please note that marriage counseling is not in my consulting wheelhouse. My comments are based on personal and family life experience and years of financial counseling and client observation. Growing up, lessons were learned as
a stormy, stressful relationship between my mother and stepfather ultimately led to divorce. Long before I met the lovely lady who is the mother of our two grown children, I resolved not to make the same mistakes my parents did. When I married, it would be “I do,” not, “Well, maybe, as long as it’s fun.” We celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary September 2. Marriage is not one long date. Challenges and struggles arise along the way. Life transitions of any kind often are difficult. When you take a job you ask for a “job description.” In coaching business owners, it’s noted that a “role description” is different from a job description. How many married or engaged couples think about role descriptions? There are distinct roles in a union that unfold over time — breadwinner, homemaker, parent, child nurturer, shopper, caregiver, chauffeur, money and finance manager, handyman/handywoman, animal care, etc. Who does what? What roles and duties do you assume? What responsibilities do you share? What does your partner do? How many marriages blow up because one partner thinks the other is not holding up his or her end? It also helps if both partners agree
on the sanctity and enduring nature of marriage and family, matters of faith. Money fights and financial stress are leading causes of divorce. Seeing money pressures in my family growing up and the toll it took, young couples are counseled to work to accumulate sufficient capital so that your family can go at least a year with no income. A “Freedom Fund” is peace of mind, because “stuff happens.” Career interruptions, accidents, illness, special needs children, caring for the elderly. A comprehensive insurance package to cover health, disability, liability, and premature death is key to family wellbeing given “What if?” Up-to-date wills and powers of attorney are basic. Two-income households are the norm more than the exception. An over-controlling spouse relative to money matters can be deadly. Who pays for what? What’s your thinking on spending, saving, debt management? If one has to hide things from the other, trouble is certain. Openness and trust count. Opposites attract. Your partner is quite different from you. If you were too
much alike, battles would ensue. God endowed each of you with particular strengths and talents. At conception you were hard wired with an internal modus operandi (MO), a particular way that you process information and respond to challenge, stress or difficulty. In working with individuals, certain diagnostic assessments are useful in determining what one seeks to avoid, what one will accommodate, and where and how one will initiate action. Gallup Strengths Finder, Kolbe, and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter are useful tools in seeing how people take action. Recognizing that your spouse has an entirely different makeup can avoid fights and strife when facing difficulties and seeking solutions and resolution. Understanding the unique strengths and talents that you possess, and how to apply them to work and professional choices can enhance career progress and earning capabilities. Acting in strength is important to success and peace of mind in any endeavor, family, business, community, and spiritual, and any of the roles noted above, whether son, daughter, spouse, parent, grandparent, caregiver, breadwinner, homemaker, etc. Living your strengths enhances confidence, fortitude, patience and faith in your ability to overcome. Responding, “Yes dear,” doesn’t hurt, either. To my reader friend, congratulations on 61 years of marriage.

After historic win over Eagles Landing, Holy Innocents’ blanks Wesleyan 31-0 By DUNN NEUGEBAUER For The Crier

SALUTE OUR VETERANS NOV The Beverly Belles are an Andrews Sisters-

inspired trio whose vintage style and patriotic performances will have you singing along to the best-loved songs spanning the decades.
Find your tickets at citysprings.com
After beating the No. 1 team in the state a week before, it would’ve been easy for Holy Innocents’ to suffer a letdown when they traveled to Wesleyan to take on the No. 5 Wolves Friday. It didn’t happen. Using a strong defense in the first half and a ball-control offense in the second, the Bears — now 5-0 — dominated the previously unbeaten Wolves with a 31-0 win on the road, breaking a five-game losing streak to Wesleyan. Two interceptions helped give HI a 17-0 cushion at half. The final 24 minutes saw Wesleyan’s offense on the field for only two possessions as the Michael Cox-led running attack overwhelmed the home team. It started slow, with both teams punting it away most of the first quarter. Late in the stanza, however, Landon Kardian intercepted a Wesleyan pass on their 31. Three runs from Cox and another by Matt Davis put it to the 4 before Cox rolled in to make it 7-0. On Wesleyan’s next possession, this time it was Sam Aiken picking off a Wolf pass at the Wesleyan 27. The Bears’ drive stalled, but Peter Wandtke delivered with a 39-yard field goal to put HI up 10-0. The Bears tacked on their final first half touchdown on a 50-yard drive that
ended with a 10-yard run from TyQuann Alexander. Cox was a workhorse on the drive, gaining over 25 yards on the march. The Bears got the ball first in the second half and almost never let go. HI went on a 15-play, 80-yard march that used up nearly eight minutes before scoring a touchdown. Cox carried it 11 of the plays and finished with a 10-yard score to give the Bears a 24-0 cushion. The final drive was 76 yards, which began in the third quarter and moved well into the fourth. Cox carried it nine times, including the final 6 yards for the score. He finished with three touchdowns after scoring five last week in the win over Eagle’s Landing. Besides Kardian and Aiken’s interceptions, Griffin McKinnis and Hunter Hawk were two who kept coming up big. Wesleyan’s only threat was a long pass play that reached the Bears’ 4-yard line late in the first half but the play was called back due on a penalty. Friday’s win over Wesleyan followed an historic overtime effort Sept. 20 against No. 1-ranked Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy. It was a Charger missed extra point that proved the difference in overtime, as Holy Innocents’ prevailed 42-41. Down two touchdowns midway

Wildcats drop region tilt at Alpharetta
By BOB FISCELLA For The Crier ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Literally and figuratively, the lights went out on Dunwoody (2-3, 1-2) Friday night at Alpharetta Stadium as the Raiders (2-2, 2-0) outlasted the Wildcats 31-17 in a Region 7-AAAAAA matchup. The game was delayed approximately 30 minutes in the second quarter due to a power outage that sent the stadium into near complete darkness. “Overall, I am proud of our kids,” Dunwoody coach Mike Nash said. “They played extremely well. Our effort is there and we are doing some good things. Nobody thought we could play with Alpharetta, but hopefully our kids see that we can. We need to minimize our mistakes and we will be okay.” Wildcats’ mistakes included a fumble and two interceptions by junior quarterback Davis LeDoyen, who was 23-37 for 287 yards with a touchdown. Senior Tyler Eith had another productive game with eight catches for 136 yards.

Quarterback Davis Ledoyen hands off to running back Jaxon Warshaw.
“Turnovers always hurt, but they are part of the game,” Nash said. “We had three turnovers but a couple of them were just things you can’t control. A kid gets hit as he is catching the ball and the ball pops in the air. That’s not on the QB. I tell Davis all the time, don’t worry about it. When you are throwing the ball 40-50 times a game, you are taking a chance. That is the risk I’m taking, not him. He is playing extremely well.” Senior linebacker Isaac Anderson
continues to play well, totaling a gamehigh 16 tackles, 11 unassisted. The Wildcats return home to North DeKalb Stadium Friday night to face Pope (3-2, 2-1), but without standout junior linebacker Cevon Mitchell, who is suspended one game after being ejected in the fourth quarter against Alpharetta. Mitchell was cited for retaliation against a Raiders player. “We preach (not to retaliate) all the time,” said Nash. “But honestly, we just
have to have more self-discipline not to react when you get baited.” Dunwoody enters its matchup with Pope sitting sixth in the region standings. “We’ve lost two tough games to two really good teams and have another really good team coming up this week,” Nash said. “We play in a tough region but our kids know that. We are not out of it by any means. We can beat any team in the region right now. These kids will stay motivated. I have no doubt about that.”

Author, attorney highlights effort to rescue youth David Lee Windecher, trailblazing orator, author and lawyer, was the featured speaker at the Rotary Club of Dunwoody’s weekly meeting. Windecher told of his life as an impoverished immigrant on the streets of Miami-Dade County, Fla., and of the events that eventually led him to his success. He said he began his path to self-rehabilitation when he earned his GED in March 1998 after the John Marshall School of Law accepted him. He had been turned down by 48 other law schools, most likely based on his arrest record in 11 open gang-related cases. Based on his experience on the streets, he has developed a curriculum for juveniles who have run afoul of the law and need re-direction. The concept has attracted the attention and support of the Atlanta Falcons and the Arthur
COMMUNITY
Blank Foundation, and DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston and Superior Court Judge Asha Jackson. After having been arrested 13 times and spending more than seven months incarcerated as a juvenile, Windecher dropped out of school and joined a gang for protection. The brutal climate of the streets, issued by both criminals and the police, did not deter his dream of becoming a lawyer who would fight for those who lack resources for justice, he said. His autobiography, “The AmerIcan Dream/HisStory in the Making,” recounts his efforts to end mass incarceration and redress racial inequity in the criminal justice system. Known on the streets as RED, he has named his program “Rehabilitation Enables Dreams.” His central theme emphasizes that if we arrest people over and over, we are not doing our job, as evidenced by Georgia’s recidivism rate is 68 percent.
