One year in, ambulance response times still slow By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — October marks the 12th month of DeKalb County being out of compliance with its agreement to provide ambulance services in Dunwoody, according to City Councilman Terry Nall. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with DeKalb County was approved by the Dunwoody City Council Nov. 5, 2018. It requires 90th percentile response times of 9 minutes or less for Advanced Life Support (ALS) and 15 minutes or less for Basic Life Support (BLS). According to data presented to the council from the DeKalb County Fire Chief, the only time frame the county met those times was December 2018 for ALS, at 8 minutes and 56 seconds. However, that same month the response time for BLS was more than 20 minutes. “It is acknowledged directly [by

DeKalb County] that the MOU is not just an understanding, but is a separate legally-binding agreement,” Nall said. “And yet today, the county remains noncompliant on response times and the GPS requirement.” The city declared DeKalb County in breach of the MOU on July 8. The county has attested that it is not violating the contract because overall emergency medical response, provided through ambulances and fire rescue, does comply with the standards in the MOU. At an Oct. 14 Dunwoody City Council meeting, Mayor Denis Shortal provided an update on his conversations with DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond. At the same time, Nall asked fellow council members to consider what they would be willing to do if the county continues to fail to comply.

Thief hits landscaping truck taking hundreds in equipment

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police arrested a Dunwoody man Oct. 14 on suspicion of kidnapping and other charges. Dunwoody police met with deputies from the Cobb County Sherriff’s Office and a special agent from the U.S. Marshall’s Office at West Madison Drive that morning. Law enforcement

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Lawrenceville man called police Oct. 14 after someone allegedly stole landscaping equipment from his truck. The truck had been parked at Perimeter Center West that morning. The man left the truck alone to complete some landscaping work. When he returned, the man saw a suspect leave his truck while holding some of his equipment. The man yelled at the suspect, who fled. The missing equipment is worth $1,600 total.

Caller threatens woman with arrest in drug case DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police are investigating an Oct. 16 incident in which a phone scammer threatened a woman with arrest unless she paid money. The woman had been contacted that afternoon by someone claiming to be an FBI agent in Savannah. The caller said the woman was connected to a drug case and she would have to pay a fine in order to clear her name. The caller then asked the woman to give her personal and financial information. Before the woman could give that information, the call dropped. When she called the number back, the woman reached the Lawrenceville Police Department, which advised her that the call had been a scam.

Law enforcement officials discuss scourge of human trafficking The Crown Plaza was the setting on Oct. 23 for a large local crowd to see the movie, “8 Days,” and to hear a panel of three law enforcement specialists speak on the topic of human trafficking of children. The movie emphasized the longterm emotional and physical damage resulting from human trafficking of children. The need to pursue and convict the perpetrators was clear. The panel members — Robert Barrett of Dunwoody Police, Elizabeth Bigham from the GBI, and Taylor Dervish of the FBI — described the roles they play in the investigation and arrest of those who traffic children in Georgia. Dunwoody and Atlanta, with airport access and many hotels, are positioned between I-75 and I-85 and are hubs for human trafficking and for the sale of drugs. During the panel discussion the audience wrote questions which were delivered to the stage and answered. The MATCH Task Force, composed of 50 detectives who work with other law

enforcement agencies, has recovered many trafficked children. We have the largest task force in the country. Use of the internet to attract victims is complicated by the prevalence of websites, making this the most underreported and the most profitable crime. The panelists urged parents to monitor on-line activity; know children’s apps and passwords; and tell children not to talk to strangers on-line. One panelist said, “If you pay for the phone, you own it.” Sex traffickers and their clients now face stiff penalties. Because they are victims, children are protected from prosecution in most cases. A representative from Street Grace, a recovery home for victims, stepped forward to provide some insight into what type of individual purchases the services of these enslaved children. She answered said the typical profile is an older white male from the northern suburbs of Atlanta. Many of the girls are runaways who don’t want to be found, she said.

Dunwoody offers occupational tax amnesty DUNWOODY, Ga. — The city of Dunwoody is granting businesses that have fallen behind on occupational taxes an amnesty program that provides relief from penalties and interest. The amnesty program starts on Oct. 28 and runs until Nov. 22. Registered and unregistered businesses in Dunwoody can take advantage of this one-time opportunity to have penalties waived and interest for occupational taxes that were due in April of 2019 and prior years. “This program is to assist businesses that owe back taxes and bring their accounts current,” Dunwoody Assistant City Manager Jay Vinicki said. “The city also wants to hear from those that are no longer in business, have sold the business or relocated so records can be updated.” Businesses that operate within Dunwoody city limits are required by city ordinance to have a 2019 occupational tax

NEWS

certificate. To participate in the amnesty program businesses must complete an occupational tax certificate application and pay taxes for all past due years by Nov. 22, 2019. For multiple years, businesses must complete a form for each year. “City staff are often asked about home-based businesses,” Vinivki said. “City tax and license requirements also apply to them. In almost all cases, businesses located within the City of Dunwoody, whether at a commercial or residential location, require an occupational tax certificate.” The forms are available the city’s website, dunwoodyga.gov, and at Dunwoody City Hall, 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road. For questions or help with calculations, call 678-382-6700 or email businesstax@dunwoodyga.gov. There will be no refunds for penalties and interest paid after Nov. 22.

DeKalb Schools seeking input on new superintendent search DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — The DeKalb County Board of Education is asking the community for its views as it begins a search for the district’s next superintendent. The board kicked off the search process on Oct. 7 by meeting with BWP and Associates, a national search firm that specializes in assisting school boards that are seeking superintendents. “Selecting a new superintendent is a significant process that requires that we exercise appropriate due diligence and honor the input and ideas from our community stakeholders,” Board Chair Michael Erwin said. “Participation from our parents, students, teachers, business and community partners is critical in helping us shape the leadership profile of what we are looking for in our next superintendent.” During the community engagement phase, the board and BWP will gather input from the community that will be used to create a unique profile of what the community is looking for from its next school district leader.

Community members can provide input through community forums on Nov. 6 and 7, and through an online survey that will launch on Nov. 4 at dekalbschoolsga.org/superintendentsearch/2019-2020. The community forums are scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 6 at the auditoriums of Chamblee, Tucker and Lithonia high schools, and Thursday, Nov. 7 at Clarkston, Miller Grove and Cedar Grove high schools. All meetings will from 7 to 8 p.m. “We’re looking forward to these forums,” Erwin said. “DeKalb County School District has talented students from diverse backgrounds and a dedicated staff. The next leader should be familiar with the school district and its unique qualities, as well as continue to expand on current initiatives to improve student achievement.” Information received from the community engagement process will be presented to the board along with a draft profile of leadership characteristics for the next superintendent by BWP in December.

Community Assistance Center to open branch in Dunwoody DUNWOODY, Ga. — Community Assistance Center (CAC), an organization that works to prevent homelessness and hunger, will open a new branch office at 5 Dunwoody Park, Suite 113 in Dunwoody this November.

The office is scheduled to be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. At the Dunwoody branch office CAC will: • Evaluate clients applying for assistance for basic needs: financial, food and clothing. • Register clients who qualify for seasonal programs: Adopt-a-Family, Tools for School and Summer Lunches for Kids • Have a Client Choice Food Pantry on the premises • Provide information on other CAC services such as adult education classes, the thrift shop and free tax return preparation. CAC is seeking volunteers for the

Dunwoody branch office. People interested in volunteering can contact CAC’s Volunteer Coordinator Nolan Feintuch at volunteer@ourcac.org. This will be CAC’s second branch office.

Dunwoody candidates talk schools, traffic DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody voters will select a new mayor 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: Q1: Explain you plan to address concerns about overcrowding and inferior facilities at DeKalb County Schools in Dunwoody. Recognizing that this issue largely falls under the jurisdiction of the school district, what actions do you believe the City Council can take? Q2: Describe your vision for Dunwoody Village and what steps you would take

to enact that vision if elected. How would such a space benefit the city as a whole? Q3: If elected, what would be your strategy for relieving traffic congestion throughout Dunwoody? How would you balance the wants and needs of drivers against those of other travelers, such as pedestrians, bikers or transit-users? Some of the answers below have been lightly edited for space. Mayor Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch Q1. The facility issue is a symptom or our poorly performing school system. I have over 20 years of experience advocating for Dunwoody within DeKalb County School District. Real improvements will take coordinated pressure from leaders throughout the county.

Within my first 30 days as mayor, I will pull together and unify leaders throughout the county to bring the pressure necessary to influence the changes needed to have a successful school system. Q2. Many citizens DEUTSCH agree we lack a gathering spot. With changes, Dunwoody Village could meet this need. My vision is for a vibrant walkable area with green space, new restaurants and unique retail options. The city will lead the efforts to make it more walkable and assist with the development of green space and a park. Our Economic Development Department will recruit businesses to the area. Having already worked with the Village landowners, I know that a publicprivate partnership can lead to the city center we need. Q3. Dunwoody must use data and technology to improve traffic operations throughout the city. We must continue to expand our multi-purpose trail system, safer pedestrian crossing options and intersection improvements. As mayor, I will be committed to leading regional discussions about traffic management, transit and mitigation. Councilman Terry Nall Q1: Dunwoody schools and our community are integrally connected. While we continue to work toward a future independent school system and other improvement options, we must also advocate NALL for our schools’ needs. I’ll establish a Mayor’s Schools Advisory Committee to support communications between City Hall and each Dunwoody school so we all understand the most critical needs at each school. We’ll then work together to send a unified message to school district executives and the DeKalb Board of Education. Q2: Dunwoody Village, our city’s traditional town center, has been dwarfed by the urban Perimeter Center. My vision is to create a more vibrant town center for us to gather as a community and enjoy an interesting mix of retail, restaurants and entertainment options. I will ask the Dunwoody Development Authority to leverage tools, including incentives, to entice the redevelopment that our master plan and community input have prioritized, without escalating traffic congestion in the Village area — and do the same for our three other neighborhood commercial areas. Q3: All Dunwoody traffic signals

are connected by fiber optics, but only Perimeter Center signals have advanced synchronization. We should expand synchronization along our main roads to improve traffic flow, while also working with neighboring cities to do the same with their signals at the edges of Dunwoody. City Council Post 4 Stacey Harris Q1. I believe the City Council needs to advocate strongly for better facilities in Dunwoody. We need to collaborate with other cities to present a stronger, united voice to DeKalb County School District. At the HARRIS same time, if there is an opportunity to directly help our students, we must do so. For example, I want to give priority access to school teams at the new ballfields in Brook Run. Q2. In Dunwoody Village, I envision a community gathering place where one can sit in green space and enjoy time in their community with their family and neighbors — a place in which you can easily walk to a unique store, great restaurant or a fun bar. We need to work with the property owners to facilitate change and attract new and unique businesses. The city also needs to be ready to invest in the village if we want to achieve our vision. Q3. In order to improve traffic flow in Dunwoody, we must fund intersection improvements. Besides intersections, we have to offer alternatives — multiuse paths and sidewalks for pedestrian friendly streets. Traffic is not going away, so we need to look at alternatives and plan for them at the same time we are improving intersections. Robert Miller Q1: The city must take a more robust posture with the school district regarding the condition of their facilities. Specifically, I would start with an ordinance for the permitting of educational trailers. This MILLER will detail the installation, footings, tie down requirements, age restriction on old trailers, HVAC requirement and the maximum time a trailer can be used in the city. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel enforcing codes on the schools, other jurisdictions do this, and we can learn from their experiences. Q2: Many of us were optimistic as the new parkway and streetscape were built years ago, but the slow progress of change in the Dunwoody Village has

See CANDIDATES, Page 7

Candidates: Continued from Page 6 been frustrating. I know that through effective and thoughtful planning, we can create a vibrant village. We need to start by eliminating the overlay which is preventing the Village from reaching its full potential and holding back small business from thriving. Q3: The perimeter currently handles 130,000 cars a day, and this number is going to increase with the new developments coming. We must build strong relationships with our county leaders and the leaders of our neighboring cities to work together to tackle the traffic and transportations challenges that lie ahead of us. City Council Post 5 Joe Seconder Q1: Build a coalition including central and south DeKalb stakeholders to take action; petition the State Board of Education to do their job, stop granting waivers and hold the school SECONDEr district accountable. Lobby the Legislature and governor to act if conditions do not improve. Form a joint working group between the city and

NEWS school district comprised of staff, elected officials and parents. Meet regularly with public meetings and two-way dialogue. Q2: Active, pedestrian-friendly, extra-wide sidewalks lined with shade trees, with open green space. Enact zoning to restrict more banks. Move the post office into a store in the center and use that land to create a public green space. Acquire the vacant lot on Mount Vernon and Chamblee Dunwoody roads and turn it into a “Welcome to Dunwoody” gateway pocket park. Q3: Fifty percent of all trips are two miles or less, 18 percent more traffic when schools are in session. Build out the Brook Run Trail network throughout our city, connecting neighborhoods to schools, shops and businesses. Create shuttle for GSU Perimeter Campus to park offsite near I-285. Each day, 130,000 workers drive to the Perimeter Business District, and 83 percent of them drive alone. Create greater incentives to carpool, or disincentives otherwise. Establish a public circulator shuttle throughout the Perimeter Business District. Heyward Wescott Q1: When my children attended Vanderlyn, there were 24 trailers at that school. The DeKalb County School District can partially address overcrowding by redistricting or by building a new school. We need to form a consortium with other local city leaders across

TheCrier.net | Dunwoody Crier | October 31, 2019 | 7

DeKalb to all work toward a healthy and vibrant DCSD. I support a forensic audit to provide and prioritize our needs and concerns to the incoming superintendent. We should strive to make sure that more tax dollars are WeSCOTT directed to our classrooms and less to the main office. Q2: I envision a vibrant community center where we can all gather to enjoy shopping, food and entertainment. It will be a pedestrian-friendly environment with additional green space. Like Roswell, Duluth and Alpharetta, Dunwoody

can be a catalyst for development by investing in much-needed infrastructure such as intersection improvements, sidewalks and green spaces to create places for residents to gather and support local businesses. Q3: Since we became a city 10 years ago, we have only improved two intersections. The improvements to those two intersections are appreciated every day, but we need to do much more. Many of our intersections would benefit from operational improvements to help alleviate congestion. The city can also invest in multimodal transportation by connecting schools, shopping areas, parks and other destinations with sidewalks, trails and bicycle infrastructure.

Letters to the Editor

OPINION

Don’t be fooled: vote no on the revised Ethics Act DeKalb voters will head to the polls this November to vote on revisions to an Ethics Act passed in 2015 by 92 percent of voters. The ballot will have no explanation of the revisions, and voters should not be fooled. This legislation does not revise the Board of Ethics, it guts the ethics board. How? By undermining the board’s independence, putting up roadblocks for reporting ethics concerns and compromising the professionalism and efficiency of the board and staff. The DeKalb Citizens Advocacy Council, comprised of community members from throughout DeKalb County, asked DeKalb resident Dr. Paul Wolpe, Director of the Emory Center for Ethics and an internationally recognized ethics expert, to review the legislation. Dr. Wolpe’s conclusion? “The bottom line is that this bill is clearly meant to weaken and dilute the excellent policy passed in 2015, without any convincing reasons to weaken the bill. DeKalb is slipping back to a former posture that got it in trouble in the first place. I would agree that this bill should be strongly opposed.” Here are the primary issues with the fatally flawed ethics bill: Removes independence: The bill undermines the independence of the ethics board by giving the DeKalb County CEO and Commission review and approval of the ethics board’s policies and procedures. No other independent county board is required to compromise its integrity by having those under the purview of the board involved in its governance. In addition, the CEO will now appoint one of the members of the ethics

board. Creates reporting roadblocks: The bill requires employees to go through Human Resources before filing an ethics complaint against a supervisor, rather than reporting their concerns to the ethics board. Human Resources will make the decision of whether to report this to the ethics board and could possibly delay indefinitely an employee’s ability to go to the ethics board. This requirement will have a chilling effect on employees reporting ethics violations. And, what if the problem is in Human Resources? Reduces professionalism: The revisions downgrade the ethics officer position to that of an “administrator” with no requirement for work experience or either legal or ethics training. It is considered standard for an ethics officer to have a law degree, but not so for an administrator. This legislation calls for a significantly less skilled individual, who will be unqualified to provide ethics education to employees (one of the officer’s primary functions), provide advisory opinions to officials and employees seeking advice on ethical matters, investigate complaints, or have the responsibility to report criminal activity to law enforcement. Why should DeKalb voters care about this issue? The ethics board has been working professionally and efficiently to root out DeKalb’s worst offenders and corrupt practices and to help create a culture of strong ethics among DeKalb employees and elected officials. Let’s keep the momentum going! — Mary Hinkel Chair of DeKalb Citizens Advocacy Council,www.dekalbcitizens.org

Let’s recycle, Dunwoody Girl Scout Troop 15506 of Dunwoody recently took a survey of friends and neighbors recording who recycles and whether they recycle correctly. We did this because more than 40 percent of DeKalb County does not recycle. The county is trying to get 60 percent of households to recycle by 2020, and we want to help. It was surprising to see how many people recycled incorrectly. Did you know that you can’t recycle plastic bags, Styrofoam, and glass? Our research showed that 73 percent of households recycle plastic bags and glass, and 38 percent of people recycle Styrofoam, despite those items not being accepted by DeKalb Sanitation. Want to start recycling? New recycling subscribers can receive a complimentary 35-gallon roll cart, or, for a $15 fee, a 65-gallon roll cart. Residents can subscribe to the recycling program on-

line at surveymonkey.com/r/resRecyle or can mail the sign-up form (tinyurl. com/y2unf9mx) to the Sanitation Division’s administrative office, 3720 Leroy Scott Drive, Decatur, GA 30032. Thank you for joining the effort to recycle in Dekalb County! — Troop 15506: Lydia Bizzell, Emily Friedenberg, Evelyn Grace Hyde, Mariah O’Connor, Sophia Powell, Sarah Siegel, Troop Leaders: Sarah Powell and Lauren Bizzell

Shortal said Thurmond did answer some of the city’s questions, such as clarifying that Rapid Response Vehicles (RRV) could be staffed by a paramedic or Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). The mayor confirmed all Dunwoody units have radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology installed, but not the MOU-required GPS. The county said it is working with a vendor on the GPS systems. Mayor Shortal had previously asked for a fourth full-time unit in Dunwoody, and the response was that DeKalb County would do a modeling to determine if that would improve the response times. DeKalb County has since said they don’t have the equipment to do the modeling. “I think we can justify a fourth unit here because of the geographical problems we have with mutual support,” Shortal said. “A great proportion of the city of Dunwoody is not bordered by DeKalb County … The percentage of calls that are answered from out-

side Dunwoody is high enough that the fourth unit would most likely cover that.” Instead, DeKalb County said they will try to enhance response times by stationing the units that are already in Dunwoody closer to the geographical location with the largest number of calls. “That’s going to be something for the council,” Shortal said. “We have to decide if we’re going to give them that latitude.” Shortal said he has requested another meeting with the CEO one-on-one. Nall praised the mayor for work to date. “There’s no question we’ve seen significant improvements with the ambulance services here in Dunwoody,” Nall said. Still, Nall said he was looking for more precise action steps that the county would take. “The question I would ask of council is at what point do we take the county attorney at their word and treat this as a legally binding document and resolve it accordingly,” Nall said. “What action would we take if this was a contractor that was in persistent noncompliance with a legally binding document?”

OPINION

The Investment Coach

The anxiety divide and political uncertainty Early October business headlines noted that America’s jobless rate hit a 50-year low, easing fears of an economic slowdown. But Mr. Market, along with Street invesLewis J. Walker, CFP Main tors, will continue to worry about crosscurrents such as political infighting, impeachment wrangling and tariff wars. From an investment planning standpoint, the real key to political success in battles over ideas, as Joe Biden once famously pointed out, is “a three-letter word, J-O-B-S.” This factoid is ampli-

fied by Bill Clinton’s campaign strategist James Carville who uttered, “It’s the economy, stupid,” while stressing to campaign workers the top messages to focus on in the successful 1992 contest against president George H. W. Bush. Pundits continue to try to explain the political divide between left and right, the coasts versus “fly over country,” globalists versus Walmart shoppers, etc. Perhaps it’s as simple as J-O-B-S. Look around the world. Threaten people’s livelihoods and at the extreme, demonstrations and riots break out, as Mr. Macron found out with the “yellow vest protests” in France. In the quest to battle climate change, a “green tax hike” was imposed on motor fuels. People from rural areas who drove long distances

and farmers were the first to protest. The movement spread to members of the working and middle classes frustrated with eroding standards of living. They were angry because they had too much income to qualify for welfare benefits but not enough to make ends meet. We see the same job and income anxieties expressed by Brexit protesters in Great Britain. How does ground level reality play into investment strategies as the battle for the hearts and minds of voters plays out? How might some of the proposals for change impact job prospects and portfolio values? Fidelity Investments reported that in the 401(k) plans it administers, savers with at least $1 million in their account recently hit record levels, as did the employee savings rate. For those diligently saving for retirement security, when you threaten them with higher taxes on withdrawal, or propose policies likely to tank stock values, how’s that likely to resonate across the fruited plain? Consider that with $1 million in value, at a 15 to 20 percent ordinary income tax rate, only $800,000 to $850,000 is yours in terms of future purchasing power. The rest is Uncle Sam’s. Eight hundred fifty thousand is still a good bit of money, but let’s start with $1 million in your 401(K) or IRA. You are retired and to be conservative you withdraw only 5 percent of your $1 million per year, or $50,000. You are taxed at 15 percent so you have $42,500 left to run your life, or $3,541 per month. How are you doing? Living large? If taxed at higher brackets, you have even less. Plus, with inflation your money buys less and less over time. If you dial back on allocations to potential growth assets such as stocks out of fear of volatility, you are confronted with low yields that approach zero adjusted for inflation and taxation. Add worries about longevity and not being a burden on your spouse and/or children, and you can see why comprehensive planning is important, why asset allocation decisions, tax planning, health care

decisions, life transitions planning, are critical to mind easing success. Some politicians don’t get it, proclaiming that “only the wealthy own stocks,” so attacks on business and wealth formation do not matter to the middle class. Au contraire madame et monsieur! There are plenty of Tom Stanley-style “millionaires next door,” hard working and self-made savers, professionals, and closely-held business owners, who disagree. It’s fine for well-meaning activists, college students, and politicians to proclaim that we all should be vegans as we ban fossil fuels and air travel, while raising taxes to pay for “free stuff,” imposing stiff regulations on business and capital formation in the name of “fairness and income redistribution.” But do not discount the clout and voting power of millions of investors saving for their own financial independence and retirement security, truck drivers, airline workers, workers in the energy sector and allied industries, and all who will be impacted in their myriad bread winning pursuits. They and their spouses are sitting around kitchen breakfast tables preparing for work and daily responsibilities thinking, “They are threatening my job, my family’s security.” The reaction is likely to be akin to that of celebrated 15-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, “How dare you!” Decision 2020 is likely to boil down to Jim Carville’s truism, it’s the economy…and jobs. Nothing stupid about that. Just human nature and matters of personal financial security.

The INK PENN

For Sherlock Holmes lovers I’m not only a mystery fan, but I also have a special place in my heart for books based on Sherlock Holmes. Though I didn’t read many of the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories, I did watch KATHY the old black and MANOS PENN white movies and the occasional British television show. It may have been Laurie King’s Mary Russell stories that got me hooked on all things Sherlock Holmes. The first in the series, “The BeeKeeper’s Apprentice,” came out in 1994. Mary Russell, a 15-year-old girl, literally stumbles across Sherlock Holmes while out walking, and their unlikely relationship becomes the stuff of 15 novels. I realize as I’m typing this that I haven’t read them all, so it’s time to add a few to my library wishlist. I wanted to believe the foreword to the first book, wherein the author explains finding letters in a trunk either between or about Mary Russell and Sherlock. Forgive me; it’s been almost 20 years since I read the book. Suffice it to say, I found the premise intriguing. “The Sherlockian” is another book I couldn’t put down. It features dedicated Sherlock Holmes fans who get wind of a missing Arthur Conan Doyle diary, one which would explain the final chapter in Sherlock’s life. I found the mystery intriguing and also enjoyed learning about Conan Doyle’s life even though the facts were interwoven with fiction. Next, I discovered Anthony Horowitz’s 2011 “The House of Silk: A Sherlock Holmes Novel” through a review in the Wall Street Journal. “For the first time in its one-hundred-and-twenty-five-year history, the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate has authorized a new Sherlock Holmes novel … The Arthur Conan Doyle Estate chose the celebrated, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz to write ‘The House of Silk’ because of his proven ability to tell a transfixing story and for his passion for all things Holmes.” It lived up to its billing. Bonnie MacBird’s “Art in the Blood” is another novel written as a continuation of the original series. I may have stumbled across it as an Amazon recommendation. If you decide to give Sherlock a try, this, like “The House of Silk,” is written in the style of Arthur Conan Doyle. For a lighter Holmes themed mystery, I picked up “Elementary She Read: A Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Murder.” The story takes place on Cape Cod

28th Annual

where, at 222 Baker Street, of course, the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium deals in Holmes paraphernalia, books and collectibles. This modern-day, humorous, murder mystery makes for a fun read. Writing this column required a bit of research to refresh my memory, and I happily found yet another Holmes story to add to my list, “The Case of the Baker Street Irregulars.” It promises to be a humorous mystery. I like to mix up my reading — a book with a literary bent and way with words and then one with a lighter, witty story. Once again, I have more books on my “To Be Read” list than I’ll ever get to, but I’ll enjoy the pursuit. Kathy is a Sandy Springs resident. Find her books, “Lord Banjo the Royal Pooch” and “The Ink Penn: Celebrating the Magic in the Everyday,” at the Enchanted Forest and on Amazon.

Food Truck Thursdays closes out with Halloween theme By ADAM DARBY adam@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody Food Truck Thursdays ended its seventh season Oct. 24 with a Halloween-themed night full of candy and costumes. As with previous Thursdays, the event started at 5 p.m. at Brook Run Park. Children and adults were invited to come out in costume for a contest in the spirit of the Halloween season. The popular event is a continued partnership between the Dunwoody Homeowners Association, Redbird Events and the City of Dunwoody. October marks the 150th Food Truck Thursday event. The night was a huge hit with dozens of parents and kids arriving in costume within an estimated crowd of 1,700. “Three years ago we added the costume part of it. Before that, it was the [police department] and the trucks gave out the candy and stuff,” said Rachel Waldron, Recreation Program supervisor for Dunwoody Parks and Recreation.

“We usually buy the candy about three weeks ahead of time…the prep work is always exciting…when we start to decorate and see all the kids in costume, that’s really how it all comes together.” To give that “trick or treat” feeling for the night, food trucks gave out free candy for the children. One of the many delectable food trucks represented at the event was On the Roll Maine Lobster. Owner James Weferling has been involved with Food Truck Thursdays for the past two years. Weferling said he enjoys seeing the community come together for the food and live music each week. For the Halloween-themed evening, he enjoys the many costumes that come by his truck. “It brings a lot of people out and it brings a lot of families out…it’s good for the community,” said Weferling. “My favorite part of the Halloween event is seeing all of the people in the costumes because there is really no other time you get to see people dressed up like Woody [from ‘Toy Story’].” It would not be Food Truck Thursdays without live entertainment. The

The eight-man band is composed of multiple vocalists and keyboardists in addition to a member on the sax to bring home the smooth sounds of the era playing hit songs by notable artists such as Kenny Loggins and Steely Dan.

“It’s an opportunity to actually connect in person…we’ve gotten an overwhelming response of people that are here and I love that a lot of people walk from different neighborhoods as well as drive,” said Bettie Cagle, Owner of Redbird Events. “We got Yacht Rock Schooner playing…That is definitely a big draw. That’s not something we normally would have…it draws a ton of people.”

Holy Innocents’ remains perfect with 41-7 win over Trinity Christian By DUNN NEIGEBAUER For the Crier

Trinity Christian’s football team hoped to make the region standings interesting when they faced Holy Innocents’ Friday night on the road. A win, after all, would’ve made it a three-way tie at the top along with Eagles Landing Christian. Didn’t happen. Coach Todd Winter and his Bears — now 8-0 — had a great first quarter and a solid second half, rolling to a 41-7 win over the Lions at Riverwood. In the opening period, the Bears needed only 1:08 before putting their first touchdown on the board. Michael Cox ran the ball for two good gains. Then quarterback Matt Davis scampered 42 yards on the option to make it 7-0. HI tacked on another score before the quarter expired, when Cox capped a 79yard drive with a 3-yard run. It seemed the game would get out of hand in a hurry when the Bears moved it 78 yards to make it 21-0. Cox again ended the drive, this time from 4 yards out. The Lions fought back in the second period, scoring on a 7-yard touchdown pass. The Bears drove it inside the 10 late in the stanza but fumbled it out of

Best: Continued from Page 1 the record for total number of voters with just over 30,000 people voting.” The reader engagement in the survey says a lot about the appreciation residents have for the high quality businesses they patronize, Appen said. “It also says a lot about the enormous honor it is to receive one of these awards,” he said. “It’s a competitive contest, and winners should be proud of the recognition.” In addition to the businesses recognized as best and runner-up in each category, the gala honors two businesses in premier categories. The Pillar Award is presented to the business voted as making the most positive impact on the community. This year’s award was presented to Ron and Terrie Altman of Alpharetta BurgerFi. The local franchise was honored for its popular family dining experience and its array of philanthropic efforts in the community. Those efforts include promoting local charities on its social media and championing fundraising efforts on their behalf. “I’m humbled by this,” Ron Altman

the end zone, leaving it at 21-7 at intermission. It was a 14-point game going into the third quarter when Trinity got the ball to start the half. But after a Lion first down, HI forced a punt and the rout was on. Taking over on their own 36, the Bears called two running plays before Davis hit Jack Felton for a 54-yard touchdown strike. After forcing a three-and-out, HI got the ball back on the Lions’ 44 after a short punt. Davis had some key runs; his 18-yard scamper plus a Lion penalty brought the ball down to the 9. Felton ran it in from there, making it 34-7 which held up for the rest of the quarter. The final score of the night came on the Bears’ first possession of the final period. Davis hit Landon Kardian for a key play in the march. Michael Cox finished with a 58-yard run off tackle to cap off his three-touchdown night. Looking at some of the stars, both Griffin McKinnis and Jack Felton had interceptions; Sam Aiken had three tackles for losses, Spencer Goetz two; and Hunter Hawk was also a defensive star. Looking ahead, HI will finish its regular season next Friday at Landmark before returning home the next weekend to face Our Lady of Mercy. said. “For us, the privilege of being in Alpharetta and serving this wonderful community of people who like our food is just a great blessing.” He said the most gratifying aspect is the ability to incorporate charitable campaigns as part of the business. Terrie agreed. “We do what we love,” she said. “We love serving the community, and I’m blown away to be recognized for that.” The other premier award, the One to Watch Award, honored Sherri Selman and Lisa Wilson, co-founders of NexSeason Transitions, a firm specializing in fully coordinating housing and care services for seniors. “To be recognized in our second year of business is astounding,” Selman said. “It just confirms the community response that what we are doing is a much needed service.” The night’s ceremony announced individual winners in each of the categories, with certificates presented for “best” and “runner-up.” One recipient, Edna Blackman, 85, received the certificate for Best Senior Activity Center for Roswell Senior Center. “It means a lot,” Blackman said. “The award also means we appreciate the help we receive. For many seniors, this is their second home.”

NORTH ATLANTA 49, DUNWOODY 21

SPORTS

Warriors’ ground game hands Dunwoody fifth loss By BOB FISCELLA For the Crier CHAMBLEE, Ga. — Running on empty. Jackson Browne sang it, the Dunwoody Wildcats lived it against North Atlanta at North DeKalb Stadium on Friday night. The Wildcats were running on empty after they were run over by a relentless Warriors’ ground game led by the heroics of running back T.K. Mack. The senior ran for over 100 yards and three touchdowns as the Warriors (5-3, 3-3) raced past Dunwoody (3-5, 2-4) 49-21, the Wildcats fourth loss in their last five games. Mack has rushed for over 1,300 yards this season. “No question he’s the best (running back) we have faced all year,” said Dunwoody coach Mike Nash. “They had three guys who could flat out run the football. That is hard to defend. Our guys’ effort was great. We just got outmanned.” It didn’t take Mack long to warm up. On North Atlanta’s third offensive play of the game, he found a small crease and scampered 49 yards for the game’s first score. After Dunwoody missed a field goal on its next possession, Mack and

quarterback Wiley Hartley led the Warriors on a 10-play, 80-yard drive that resulted in a 14-nothing lead. North Atlanta then recovered a perfectly executed onside kick, and on the very next play, Hartley connected with Tre’ Mason on a 46-yard touchdown strike for a 21-0 lead. The Warriors never looked back. “Offensively we were trying to slow it down due to their tough running game, and we were able to do that a little,” Nash said. “However, when we got down early, especially after we lost a possession on the onside kick, we had to start trying to score quicker to get back in it. We still passed for 295 and had 353 overall yards, but we just couldn’t quite keep up.” It didn’t help the Wildcats cause when they lost their leading tackler, senior linebacker Isaac Anderson, to a shoulder injury in the first half. Linebacker Danny Megathlin filled in admirably with double-digits in tackles. “Not surprising,” said Nash. “Danny has great football IQ and great instincts. He is a very underrated player. He is always around the ball and doesn’t miss tackles. He is very important to us.”

Dunwoody senior David Julian is touchdown-bound after receiving the ball on a crossing pattern. Dunwoody now has back-to-back road games to finish the season, starting with Chattahoochee on Friday night in Alpharetta. “It will be a tough task but our

kids will be up to it,” Nash said. “We need this win in order to have our best season in the last five-or-six years. (We hope) to send this senior class out the right way.”

THE CITY OF DUNWOODY, GEORGIA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, November 18, 2019 at 6:00pm located in the Council Chambers of Dunwoody City Hall, 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody, Georgia 30338 to kick off the 5-year update of the Comprehensive Plan.”
