City Council receives update on struggling theater company By CATHY COBBS newsroom@northfulton.com
The City Council heard from Stage Door Players Managing Director Debbie Fuse about plans to diversify theatre operations to adjust to realities of the COVID-19 pandemic.
DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Council heard from Stage Door Players Managing Director Debbie Fuse about plans to diversify theatre operations to adjust to realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the Sept. 29 council meeting, Fuse detailed the devastation. “In March of 2020, we were running on target to have a very good year with a net positive (cash reserve) of $8,682, and when performances resume.

Detectives locate suspect in fraudulent car sale DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody police arrested an Atlanta man Sept. 22 and charged him with doctoring the title of a vehicle he sold to a Roswell man. According to a Dunwoody police report, the victim reported the incident July 28, telling officers he bought a 2019 Toyota C-HR online for $6,300 two weeks before. He told officers he purchased the SUV from a man who identified himself as “Joseph Hughes.” The victim said “Hughes” sent him a photo of his Georgia ID card and a Florida certified title for the vehicle. Both proved to be fake, according to the report. When the victim tried to register the SUV, he learned that the title was invalid and the title number was as-

PUBLIC SAFETY signed to a South Florida rental vehicle. The seller’s fake ID turned out to belong to a man living in Meansville, Ga. Investigators were able to track down the seller by running a temporary protection order search on a phone number he used. It traced to a 36-year-old Atlanta man who had three out-of-state auto theft warrants. The victim said the suspect claimed he was moving to Hawaii and sold the vehicle because he didn’t want to take it with him, according to the police report.
Police work to sort out huge pile-up on I-285
DUI & Drug arrests Jonathan D. Coleman, 31, of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, Dunwoody, was arrested Sept. 24 on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard for possession of cocaine, criminal trespass, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of firearm or knife during the commission of a firearm or knife during the commission of or attempt to commit certain felonies. William Ernesto Hernandez, 49, of Orlando, Florida, was arrested Sept. 27 on I-285 for DUI, improper lane usage and possession of open container of alcohol beverage while operating motor vehicle.
DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody police responded to a 19-car pile-up Sept. 27 on I-285. The series of wrecks took place in the expressway’s westbound lanes around 6:15 p.m. near North Shallowford Road and blocked all lanes, according to the police department. Traffic was diverted to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, and there were heavy delays on the interstate for at least an hour, according to the department.
There were no serious injuries reported, according to Dunwoody Police Department spokesman Sgt. Robert Parsons, who said it appears the series of wrecks were triggered mostly by rear end collisions followed by vehicles then being pushed into other vehicles.
13 percent Black, 11 percent Asian and 10 percent Hispanic. The police department’s demographic, according to Grogan, is 67 percent White, 13 percent Black, 3.2 percent Asian and 13 percent Hispanic. “The only area where we really fall down is regarding female representation in our force,” he said. “Dunwoody has 48 percent, and we only have 11 percent in our department.” Grogan also outlined the “rigorous” hiring procedures instituted by the department, which includes lie detector tests, psychiatric evaluations, personal interviews and drug screening. “What we look for in an officer above all is a desire to serve,” he said. “Commu-
nity engagement is what we are all about.” During the community comment portion of the forum, Grogan would not answer questions about former police Lt. Fidel Espinoza, who resigned in May in the wake of sexual harassment allegations by former officers within the department. Dunwoody resident Joe Hirsch, a longtime opponent of the city’s sign policy, asked Grogan why he had no knowledge of Espinoza’s activities, which allegedly spanned over years. “I can’t comment on that because of pending litigation,” Grogan said. Deutsch said she hopes to hold one or two more Mayor Meet-Ups during the fall.

New sports protocols to alter look of high school basketball season By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com GEORGIA — The sports landscape has been altered by the coronavirus pandemic, and those impacts will extend to high school basketball in Georgia this year. The Georgia High School Association announced last week it is rolling out a string of safety protocols for the 2020-21 season. The rule changes and suggestions are being implemented to “decrease potential exposure to respiratory droplets by encouraging social distancing, limiting participation in administrative tasks to essential personnel and allowing for appropriate protective equipment.” Perhaps the most noteworthy change is the elimination of a jump ball to tip off each contest. Instead, the visiting team will be awarded possession of the ball to open the game. In overtime, a coin toss will determine which team will be on offense to begin the period. Another element affected by the new rules will be throw-ins. Instead of standing beside a player on the sideline or end line and handing over the ball, the official will remain six feet away from athletes and bounce them the ball ahead of handing it over. Officials are also permitted to use an electronic whistle and wear gloves. Also included in the updates is a change that allows both officials and players to wear cloth facemasks. The GHSA’s outline also directs schools to “consider requiring coaching staff and
Council: Continued from Page 1 Districts, presented proposed roadway improvements for the council’s input. The CIDs plan to fully fund extending turn lanes and installing multi-use lanes to Perimeter Center West Parkway at Perimeter Center Parkway and Crowne Point Parkway. The PCIDs will return to the council with final plans for approval before moving forward with the projects. In other action, the council: Approved the appointment of Cher Breslin to the Discover Dunwoody Board. Approved the Public Art Implementation Plan as presented by consultant Todd Bressi. Discussed policies, procedures and fee schedules for city ballfields, including Dunwoody Senior Baseball, as part
other bench personnel to wear face coverings while on the bench.” Though not required, schools are encouraged to add additional rows or chairs between the end line and coach’s box to allow for social distancing in the bench area. This is similar to other suggestions given by the GHSA for expanding benches/player areas in football, volleyball and softball. Another suggestion from the GHSA is to add another row of chairs for the bench and to place benches opposite spectator seating if possible. Pre-game conferences will be limited to referees and the head coach from each team, and post-game handshakes are prohibited and to be replaced by each team lining up on their respective free throw line to wave to the opposing team in a show of sportsmanship. The home team will also be responsible for ensuring the game ball is sanitized prior to the game, during timeouts and between quarters. While teams adjust to the new protocols, some local programs will also face a new play landscape with the addition of a shot clock in select games. In July, the GHSA opted to join a short list of state high school athletic associations to allow for a shot clock. Under the organization’s plan, the 30-second shot clock will be phased in over the next three seasons. Beginning this year, a shot clock may be used in select holiday tournaments and showcase games.

Ga. 400 continues to draw interest from tech firms By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — Financial services company Deluxe Corporation is boosting the resume of the Ga. 400 corridor, adding another technology operation to list of close to 1,000 others that line the stretch. Deluxe, which has in the past specialized in tech printing services, looks to bring in some 700 high tech jobs to a new innovation and technology center in Sandy Springs.

The city agreed to waive as much as $255,000 in permit and business license fees depending on the length of the company’s office lease. Deluxe President and CEO Barry C. McCarthy said the Perimeter area, especially along Ga. 400, distinguished itself among close to a dozen finalists for locating the office. “We did a pretty exhaustive national search about where we would want to place our innovation and technology centers, and Georgia came high on the list,” McCarthy said. “It’s already one of the major fintech capitals of the world. The engagement of the technology community is pretty profound.” He said the state has distinguished itself for its commitment to building a tech workforce, important to a company like Deluxe that is transforming from business services to becoming a trusted business technology company. “[It’s] for those reasons, plus the others, close by the airport, great quality of life overall, temperate climate, affordability and all the lifestyle things that the state talks about, from the North Georgia mountains to the golden isles on the Atlantic coast,” McCarthy said. The corridor’s reputation for attracting Fortune 1,000 companies, like Mercedes Benz, State Farm and Continental
Hotel Group, also was a factor. “We knew that meant that in the area, there would be great amenities, and obviously, if you travel the area, you can see the incredible amenities with the Perimeter Mall and all the other things that are there, plus the availability of MARTA and public transit made the area really appealing,” McCarthy said. Another key factor in the site location, McCarthy said, is the building itself, which sits just off Ga. 400 at the Glenridge exit. “Access is phenomenal — easy, easy, easy for our employee population,” McCarthy said. Recruiting has already begun, but over the next few years, he said the company will continue to build its workforce to full capacity, focusing on product management, product development, application development, technology of all types, artificial intelligence, team learning, data analytics, cloud-based services and web design. The company is targeting candidates from across the metro area, but especially those concentrated near the Ga. 400 and I-285 corridors, he said. The city’s financial incentives were also important, not necessarily for the tax and fee saving, but for the message it sent, he said.
“It’s always helpful to see that in a community, even if the incentives aren’t massive,” McCarthy said. “It’s a huge measure about a community’s interest in having a company like ours… Beyond the incentives, the incredible warm welcome and support the city government has given us in the decision process also gave us [is] hugely important to us as a company trying to expand in the geography.” McCarthy said he hopes to return the favor by providing value to the community. “We are a purpose and values-driven company,” he said. “We are champions for business, so communities thrive. And, we really mean that…We fundamentally believe that business is at the heart of what makes a community go.” Katie Kirkpatrick, president and CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce said McCarthy has been an integral force in metro Atlanta’s financial technology community for years. “The decision to locate Deluxe’s new FinTech and Customer Innovation Center and office complex here demonstrates Barry’s commitment to our region and highlights our continued reputation as a fintech leader,” she said.

The Cheek sawmill, flour mill, and cotton gin, pictured in the early 1900s, occupied the southeast corner of Chamblee Dunwoody and Mount Vernon roads.
PAST TENSE
Construction site was home to Cheek Sawmill, Flour Mill, and Cotton Gin Construction continues at the southeast corner of Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Road for a Peachtree Immediate Care facility. In the past, this spot was home to a car wash VALERIE and, before that, a BIGGERSTAFF gas station. However, in early Dunwoody history, this was the location of the Joberry Cheek sawmill, cotton gin and flour mill. Cheek built his home next door to the mill. The home sat where Panera Bread is located today. Joberry Cheek’s daughter Lizzie Cheek (Newhard) lived in the house into the 1970s. The home had fallen into disrepair, and some residents of the area thought it was abandoned. Across Mount Vernon Road, then called Lawrenceville Road, was the home Joberry Cheek built in 1906 for his son Bunyan Cheek. Later, Cheek’s daughter Myra Cheek Martin would live in the home along with her husband William Martin. That home still stands on the northeast corner of the intersection and is known as the Cheek/Spruill Farmhouse. William Martin died in 1906. In 1908, Myra married John Crook, a milling engineer who designed Joberry Cheek’s mill and other mills across the United States and in South America. Almost 100 years ago, on Nov. 21, 1920, a tragedy occurred at the Cheek
mill and gin. A hot fire was built under a dry boiler, most likely due to a faulty gauge, and the boiler exploded. People from all over the community rushed to see what had caused the loud sound. Three men who were working at the mill and gin that day, Graham Spruill, Lynn O’Shields and John Manning, all died that day. (“The Story of Dunwoody,” Ethel Spruill and Elizabeth Davis, 1975) Joberry Cheek was born in 1851 to Samuel and Martha Bruce Cheek. The family lived in Elberton, Ga., at that time, but by 1870 had moved to the Shallowford District of DeKalb County, in what is now Dunwoody. He married Laura Manning Eidson in 1874. The Manning and Eidson families were both pioneers of Dunwoody. DeKalb County historian Vivian Price Saffold shares that the family history indicates Laura Cheek was the miller of the Cheek Mills. Joberry Cheek died in 1935 at the age of 84, three years after Laura Cheek had passed away. They are buried together at New Hope Cemetery on Chamblee Dunwoody Road. Besides the Cheek Spruill Farmhouse, another little reminder of Joberry is the small street named Joberry Court, which runs off Chestnut Ridge Drive. This street is behind where his home, mill and gin once sat Other sources cited include 1981 DeKalb News Sun, “DeKalb’s Mills Produced Everything, From Flour to Stone Mountain Corn.” You can email Valerie at pasttensega@ gmail.com or visit her website at pasttensega.com.

OBITUARY
What’s your vision of life after age 65? You’re 25, and 65 is antiquity personified, a long way off. Okay then, what’s your vision of life after 50? And what role money play in LEWIS J. WALKER, CFP will your envisioned future? When it comes to financing your destiny, aside from building marketable skills and knowledge, and not doing stupid things that wreck your life and that of others, grasping the fundamental tenets of prudent investing is essential to success. Look to Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha, for inspiration. Financial writer Jason Zweig cited Buffett on his 90th birthday, Aug. 30, 2020, detailing his investing philosophy. (The Wall Street Journal, 8/29-30/20). One point stands out. Warren doesn’t like to overpay for anything, not haircuts and certainly not stocks! Like the legendary investor, John Templeton, Buffet buys perceived bargains and holds them for long periods. He’s not a constant trader. Warren read a book at age 10 that explained the concepts of compounding in relationship to time. Albert Einstein declared, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn’t, pays it.” We assume that early on, the young man grasped the idea of buying bargains and holding until true value was recognized. Buffett bought his first stock at age 12, noted Zweig, three shares of an oil company. That would have been 1942, and America was at war in the Pacific

CULBRETH and was raised in Fort Mill, SC. Mr. Culbreth was predeceased in death by his parents, Judson Grady Culbreth and Doris Hamilton Culbreth. He is survived by his devoted wife, Joy, of 47 years; daughter Laura Elizabeth Culbreth ; daughter and son-in-law, Mary Katherine ( Katie) and Nicholas (Nick ) Huly; grandchildren Charlotte Jane and George Huly and sister Dr. Judith E Culbreth. He was a graduate of Furman University and Emory University School of Law. Jack practiced law in Georgia for 45 years. He was a member of Dunwoody United Methodist Church for 40 years. He enjoyed golf as a member of Dunwoody Country Club for 30 years. He continued his love of sport through the Adaptive Golf Program / Georgia State Golf Association.

Time trumps timing in stock investing and Europe, and access to fuel was a do-or-die factor in battlefield success. Daniel Yergin, energy expert and economic historian, reported that a diary of one of Emperor Hirohito’s aides quoted the Japanese leader as saying that Japan went to war with America “over oil — and lost because of oil.” (Washington Post, 12/1/1991). Our novice investor decided he’d prefer stock in an energy company vital to America’s future and prosperity over a toy or other immediate gratification. This writer has no idea what he understood about taxes or inflation, factors in long-term real returns. But he may have heard his parents or others grumbling about taxes. In 1930, the year he was born, Herbert Hoover raised the top tax rate from 25 percent to 63 percent. Later, FDR jumped the maximum rate to 79 percent. Lessons learned early endure. Buffett buys stock for the very long run, seeking long-term capital gains tax treatment when he sells. His firm, Berkshire Hathaway, recently bought four out-of-favor Japanese stocks reflective of his philosophy — “companies that trade at a discount, pay healthy dividends and may offer less risk than is commonly perceived.” (WSJ, 9/1/20). That’s classic value investing, a style generally out of favor lately as people chased growth. But “value” has been making a comeback given soaring valuations in many growth sectors. By buying stocks below perceived value with a good dividend flow, reinvesting dividends in more stocks, and selling at favorable long-term tax rates when a holding reaches or exceeds growth targets, one has a reasonable chance of overcoming inflation. As an investor at an early age, did Warren dream of even being a millionaire?
Who knows? It now takes $15.9 million today to buy what $1 million bought in 1942. That’s inflation. With a net worth of roughly $82 billion, Mr. Buffett has beaten inflation hands down! Perhaps the most motivational lesson in Zweig’s piece is that Warren Buffett accumulated 90 percent of his net worth after age 65! Ponder that. Opined Zweig, “Investing well is important, but investing well for a long time matters even more.” The most popular age to start collecting Social Security is 62, at a substantial discount to what one would collect waiting to full retirement age, currently between 66 and 67. Necessity may be a factor, but what if you could delay taking benefits until age 70, letting your monthly check grow? What if you loved your work and could continue saving and building to 70 or beyond? What if you could start growing money Buffett-style so that by an earlier target age you could be financially independent and do whatever you wanted? Tax-planning, investment growth net of taxes and inflation, investing early and often, delaying gratification while still enjoying life sans waste and excess, giving God his share and meeting responsibilities, patience, and above all, realistic time horizons...all essential! Real growth in every facet of life and investing takes time. Simple. Lewis Walker, CFP®, is a financial life planning strategist at Capital Insight Group; 770-441-3553;lewis@lewwalker. com.

Marist joins list of area teams with two football cancellations By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA — Marist became the latest football team to face the cancellation of a second game due to COVID-19 protocols last week. The War Eagles will miss out on a non-region game against Chapel Hill that was slated for Oct. 2. While all Georgia teams faced delays to begin their season, Marist joins Blessed Trinity and Forsyth Central in the group of North Metro Atlanta schools with two games canceled during the season due to COVID-19. Denmark, St. Francis and Fellowship Christian have had one game canceled. Though Marist has shut down its program for two weeks, it will result in the loss of only one game. The team, which is 3-0 and ranked No. 1 in Class 4A, had scheduled a bye week Oct. 9. The cancellation is not the first of the season for the War Eagles, but in this case, it affects only one game. Marist was scheduled to play threetime defending state champions Blessed Trinity on Sept. 11. The game was to be the sixth edition of a series in which both teams have been ranked in the top 10 each time they have played. However, Blessed Trinity players tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the Titans’ season opener against Forsyth Central on Sept. 4, which forced the cancellation of that contest and BT’s ensuing matchup with Marist. Marist did manage to find a lastminute replacement opponent for Sept. 11, handing Class A-Private’s Holy Innocents’ a 43-0 loss. The War Eagles
The cancellation is not the first of the season for the War Eagles, but in this case, it affects only one game. have outscored their opponents 111-3 in three contests, with two of those wins coming against top-10 ranked teams. After its first two games were cancelled, Blessed Trinity is also rolling to start the season. The Titans knocked off Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy, the top ranked team in Class A-Private, on Sept. 19 before defeating Class 6A’s Kell 54-32 a week later. BT’s game against Forsyth Central was one of two the Bulldogs had nixed from their slate, both coming in a bout of bad luck. After BT players tested positive for COVID-19, cancelling Central’s season opener, Etowah announced it was abandoning its matchup with the Bulldogs scheduled for Sept. 11. Central did attempt to line up an opponent following Etowah’s announcement but were unsuccessful. The same week, Central’s second game was nixed, Denmark’s tilt with Allatoona was cancelled. In North Fulton, St. Francis and Fellowship Christian have also lost out of a game each. St. Francis’ game against former region rivals Whitefield Academy slated for Sept. 25 was cancelled along with Fellowship Christian’s Sept. 18 game against Trinity Christian.

Healthy Halloween: Celebrating safely during a pandemic By DANNY BRANSTETTER medical director of Infection Prevention, Wellstar Health System Millions of people in the U.S. and around the globe, including children of all ages, look forward to the festivities of Halloween. But – lest we forget – we are still in the midst of a global pandemic, which means doing things differently. How can we celebrate safely, keeping our families, friends, and neighbors safe from community spread of COVID-19, which is so important to everyone’s health and well-being? Based on the CDC guidelines, Wellstar offers our top six tips for a healthy Halloween celebration. Simply think “GHOSTS.”
G GRAB-N-GO treats: Putting out a bowl for all the neighbors’ kids to dig their hands in is not advised, since children can carry the virus and share it widely with others this way. Lining candies up along the driveway or along a fence “Grab-n-Go” style means kids can pick up a treat while minimizing viral spread. Get creative and think about safety! H HAVE FUN with costumes and celebrate HEALTHCARE HEROES: Masks are highly recommended to help minimize the spread of the virus, so have fun with incorporating them into costumes. Let kids use fabric paint, glued-on sequins, or stickers to decorate a mask to match. Kids two and older are advised to wear a mask. Even better – suggest that kids dress up as a “Healthcare Hero” – a doctor, nurse, or first responder, for example – to honor all the work of frontline caregivers during the pandemic. Share photos on social media with the hashtag #HalloweenHealthcareHero. O OUTSIDE is the best place to celebrate: Weather and health permitting, being outside can promote air flow and help minimize close contact with others. If you have people coming to your home for Halloween, consider sitting outside while kids “Grabn-Go” treats you have spaced out for them. For those celebrating, just because you are outdoors does not mean you should relax mask-wearing, short interaction times, and social distancing.
S SANITIZE often and well: Just like the Wellstar Safety Kid Rap says, “Don’t forget to keep it clean and sanitize.” Take wipes and sanitizer to use frequently while trick-or-treating with kids and guide them on the safety measures that will help keep everyone COVID-free. If kids are visiting your home for “Grab-nGo” treats, keep your hand sanitizer handy, too. T TECHNOLOGY can help connect: If you have a household with immuno-compromised members, think about a Zoom pumpkin-carving contest, costume fashion show, or online mask-decorating party. There are so many ways that video conferencing solutions can help people connect and have fun, while staying safe.
S STAY AT HOME if you don’t feel well or if you have been exposed to COVID: We want everyone to have fun this Halloween, but we also want everyone to stay safe and well, and stop the spread of COVID-19. If you feel unwell, use technology to connect with friends, family, and neighbors, but stay home so you can get better and not contribute to community spread of the virus. The sooner we can stop the spread, the sooner we will be able to safely gather and celebrate holidays. No matter how you choose to celebrate Halloween and the autumn season with fun activities during the pandemic, be sure and refer to the CDC Guidelines for specific guidance on how to stay safe and well.
IN STOCK: Compliant State Law COVID-19 Signs Gov. Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 359, a bill intended to protect small businesses, healthcare providers, religious and education organizations, government offices and volunteer organizations and other organizations from civil liability related to the spread of COVID-19. Businesses can help protect themselves by posting a sign at the point of entry saying that the customer or client assumes the risk by entering. • Yellow or white • Multiple sizes

Understanding why in-home care management makes a difference Brought to you by — Home Helpers of Alpharetta At Home Helpers of North Atlanta, we know that it’s important to go beyond an initial care plan when you or your loved one needs assistance with the activities of daily living. It takes a holistic approach that looks at the big picture, providing a proactive level of Care Management that builds a continuous collaboration with our skilled team, our clients and their families. Let’s take a look at what goes into Care Management and how it can be life changing for you or your older loved one. It takes an elevated level of communication and coordination to anticipate needs, and not just react. Our Integrated Wellness Plan looks to balance five major areas that are so important to be able to thrive. They include assessing the safety of the current situation, whether nutrition and hydration needs are being met, what kind of physical activity is being followed, mental health, and the levels of social and emotional support. Care Management is the critical link to not just address today’s situation but anticipate change and help coordinate what can be complex needs for you or your loved one. The question we constantly seek to answer is where are you today, and what can we do to help move your best quality of life forward? It’s important to adapt quickly and help navigate change as loved ones face their own unique situations. When our clients need home health services like physical or occupational therapy, hospice care or the use of assistance devices, we can make recommendations for providers of those services. Care
Management will also help with therapy homework, to ensure a speedier recovery. In today’s world it’s not enough to set up a care plan and make a wonderful match of a heart centered caregiver to client. It takes proactive attention to detail by a team that has depth and skill. We have revamped our teams and added Care Managers that form a critical link with our families as needs arise. It lets us pivot more quickly and address the questions and concerns clients have in real time. This lets us proactively work with our clients or their families to offer solutions and ideas before issues become critical, making our knowledge and experience a resource that is available for them. Change is constant - with our amazing caregivers and staff we strive to anticipate, recognize and address those changes. Being able to respond quickly and provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and deliver extensive infection control training are just two of the ways our Care Management approach has helped us address the critical issues of COVID-19. For many of our families, seeing their older loved ones thrive at home is an alternative they view as a lifesaving decision. We’re here to help - from six hours a day, several days a week to 24/7 and live-in care. A Home Helpers caregiver has the skills to assist with all personal care, help around the house, safely speed up recovery from surgery, or provide specialized care for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc. For a free consultation please call Home Helpers of North Atlanta at (678) 430-8511.
