Under new proposals from the city, Dunwoody Senior Baseball Association will lose much of the control it has exercised over scheduling and operation of fields.

Duluth man arrested for entering apartment DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police arrested a man found prowling around a Dunwoody apartment complex Oct. 19 after a resident reported that he entered their apartment. Kareem Samer Habbal, 26, of Berkeley Woods Drive, Duluth, was charged with loitering and prowling. According to the arrest report, Dunwoody police were called to the Post
Baseball: Continued from Page 1 profits may use the field for $100 per hour for up to six hours, or $1,000 for a full day. Businesses would be charged $1,500 per day, or $850 per half day. The fee structure and payment schedule are apparently the sticking points with Dunwoody Senior Baseball, according to City Councilwoman Stacey Harris, who, along with Councilman Tom Lambert, has been meeting with the association since the proposed policies were introduced. In years’ past, Dunwoody Senior Baseball has paid the city at the end of the season based on a percentage of net revenues, Harris said. The new standards call for athletic associations to submit their schedules and pay for the hourly or daily use for the entire season upfront. Under the proposal, the city would take over maintenance and capital improvements with an open ear to recommendations made by athletic association representatives. One key element of the new proposal
NEWS DUI arrest Nicholas Devurn Jones, 38, of Abercorn Avenue, Atlanta, was arrested Oct. 23 on Ashford Dunwoody Road for DUI. Crossing Apartment Homes along Ashford Parkway where residents said a man with cuts on his face was knocking on doors asking for help. One resident said the man claimed he’d been involved in a domestic dispute and asked someone to call him an Uber to get back to his car. When police showed up, they encountered Habbal standing in a breezeway, the report stated. The suspect told officers he was lost and his car was near a Von Maur parking lot with a dead battery. Habbal admitted to going door to is creating a fund up to $100,000 annually for future capital improvements, Harris said. “We spent more than $6 million on these state-of-the-art fields and we want to keep it that that way,” Harris said. “While we want to be in partnership with these athletic associations, it is ultimately the city’s decision how funds are collected and spent.” Harris said the other athletic associations using the city’s fields and parks have accepted the new terms. One element of the new proposal is an audit of athletic associations’ books, which was conducted by William J. Mulcahy of Mulcahy Accounting and Risk Consulting. In a report submitted to the city in February, Mulcahy said the audit revealed several discrepancies and deficiencies in the way the Dunwoody Senior Baseball Association is operating and reimbursing the city. Mulcahy noted there are no internal controls in place regarding the duties of the treasurer. “DSB internal control lacks a proper segregation of duties as the treasurer can, without appropriate supervision, purchase, issue checks, including to him-

door asking for Uber rides and jumper cables. He also divulged that he was a former prison inmate out on parole. Habbal told police he fell on his face walking up the stairs, which is how he sustained the cuts over his brows. An officer offered to drive Habbal to the Von Maur department store to search for his vehicle. While en route, police received a report from a 40-yearold man who claimed Habbal entered his home without permission. The victim said he left his door open and Habbal walked into the apartment unsolicited. The man said Habbal then asked for help and told them he was a released prison inmate. He left without incident when the man ordered him out, according to the police report. Habbal admitted to entering the apartment. Police trespassed him from the residence then arrested him. self, deposit money, record revenue and is responsible to reconcile the bank statements,” Mulcahy noted in his report. He also said the audit revealed that Dunwoody Senior Baseball officials used “modified net income” rather than “net revenues” to calculate what it owed to the city, which lowered the amount that was paid. In addition, Mulcahy said several requested documents were not supplied, including an executed facility usage agreement, bank account reconciliations and a written policy on how revenues were determined. “The results of the audit make us feel like we aren’t 100 percent sure that the numbers we have been given (by Dunwoody Senior to calculate revenue) are altogether accurate,” Harris said. At the Sept. 29 Dunwoody City Council meeting, several representatives, including Dunwoody Senior Baseball President Jerry Weiner, complained during public comment that the city was overstepping its bounds. “We don’t think that the city is trying to kill us, or throw us out, but if you read the manual and do the math, it will make our lives significantly more difficult,” Weiner said. “We think we can do a better job than the city managing those fields.” Lambert said he felt the management and operations should be transferred to the city. “We are going to work with Dunwoody Senior, but we have to be good stewards,” Lambert said during the meeting. Weiner declined to comment on specific issues regarding the impasse. “We are talking to the city and we’ve made progress since that (Sept. 29) City Council meeting,” Weiner said. “We appreciate the opportunity to continue the conversation, but it’s premature to comment any further at this time.” Dunwoody Parks Department Manager Brett Walker was not available for comment.
OPINION
Fall is here. Be deer-aware! Fall is here, and I’ve got proof scattered all over my yard. Yes, it’s that time of year when all the leaves let go of their trees and fall gently through the air (“fall” — get it?) to blanket my little corner of the STEVE HUDSON world. Yeah, they’re Get Outside Georgia, pretty, at least until I aa4bw@comcast.net have to rake ’em up. Then they’re just a pain that keeps me from doing other things I’d rather be doing — things like hiking in the mountains, where I can appreciate fall leaves more efficiently, on a much grander scale, and with no raking involved. To do so, of course, I’ve got to drive to the mountains. Ordinarily that’s a lot of fun. But this time of year it comes with a risk that I need to tell you about. “Oh no!” you say. “Another risk? An additional danger? Something else to worry about in 2020, the year of pandemics and hurricanes and alien murder hornets?” Sorry, but yes. This time of year, you’ve also got to worry about deer. Here’s what happens. With the arrival of fall, deer fall in love and deer activity peaks. They seem to be everywhere: along trails, by creeks, out in the woods, and, often, standing on the shoulder of the road. Sure, those roadside deer ought to be watching for cars. After all, it’s our road. But fall deer are not the smartest creatures on God’s green earth. You see, fall deer are deer in love, and deer in love have other things on their minds. They’ll chase one another hither and thither, and if their path happens to cross the road, then that’s just the way it is. They aren’t watching out for us, so it becomes our job to watch out for them. “Motorists should be alert and pay
close attention to roadsides as we are nearing the annual peak time of year for deer movement,” notes Charlie Killmaster, state deer biologist with DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division. The scary thing is that it happens before you know it. There you are, riding along, minding your own business, when a deer runs out in front of you. BAM! It’s happened to me three times. One encounter totaled my favorite fishing truck, even though I was only going about 19 miles an hour. I was fine, but the truck was done for. I’ve never quite forgiven the deer of the world for that. Then it happened to one of my kids. He was driving home about dusk, going slow, when — BAM! — there’s a deer. That one totaled the family minivan just weeks after we’d paid it off. Daylight Savings Time doesn’t help either. When we “fall back” for daylight savings time, rush hours tend to fall during the same hours in which white-tailed deer are most active, dawn and dusk. To deal with all those careless deer, Georgia DNR offers some suggestions. First, remember that deer are unpredictable. They can appear from nowhere, and even a deer standing quietly by the side of the road may suddenly bolt into your path. Also remember that one deer often means more deer. “Deer often travel in groups,” Killmaster notes, “so if a deer crosses the road ahead of you, there is a good chance that another will follow.” Often, he adds, it’s that second deer that gets hit. If a deer runs in front of your car but it’s too late to avoid a collision, Georgia DNR recommends that you “slow down as much as possible to minimize damage — resist the urge to swerve to avoid the deer, as this may cause further damage, sending drivers off the road or causing a collision with another vehicle.”

A surge in creative reconstruction In his 1942 book, “Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy,” economist Joseph Schumpeter (18831950) espoused the theory of “creative destruction.” term points to LEWIS J. WALKER, CFP The the underpinnings of individualistic creativity as part of the magic of capitalism, incessant and periodic bursts of innovation as new products and processes replace the outdated and less efficient. We see creative destruction at work in the form of “reconstruction” and reinvention in response to the pandemic. Census data reviewed by The Wall Street Journal (9/26/20) indicated a surge in American new employer tax ID applications, up 12 percent through mid-September, “the most since 2007,” a year marked by a major economic slump, as we also have experienced with COVID-19 lockdowns. When the spotlight is on massive stress in business sectors, often unheralded initially is determined survivors, an individual, team, or company, bent on finding better
ways of doing things, seeing and seizing new opportunities. Increased personal savings and changing consumer behaviors are opportunities for driven creative types. With low interest rates, investors seek higher returns and new opportunities. Mega investment firms, venture capitalists, pension funds, large family offices, foundations, and accredited investors pursue inflation adjusted long-term real returns beyond low yield offerings in traditional low- to norisk investments, such as insured savings deposits. However, individual investors must use caution and maintain adequate risk-adjusted investments to fund liquidity and cash flow needs over an appropriate period. Due diligence is called for in the evaluation of any investment opportunity. Robert Arnott, investor, researcher, and writer, wisely observed, “In investing, what is comfortable is rarely profitable.” You should have enough low risk liquid investments with debt under control to underpin your “comfort zone” before stepping out of “your base zone” in search of longer-term increased profits. Know your tolerance for uncertainty when everyone else is jumping ship and crowding the lifeboats, because that’s when bargains manifest themselves, long before the herd spots them.

Speaking of ships, a record number of cruise ships have been sold or decommissioned. Carnival scrapped 13 older vessels. When you return to cruising you will find newer, cleaner ships emphasizing passenger testing prior to boarding, hospital-grade disinfectants, and UV-C light technology to kill germs. In August, the giant MSC Grandiosa sailed with 3,000 passengers on a seven-day Mediterranean cruise. With a capacity of up to 6,334 guests, only 47 percent occupancy was maintained for safety reasons. People want to “get out there.” Air travel continues with well below average passenger counts, but here too, airlines are jettisoning older less fuel-efficient planes, and some carriers limit passenger loads and require passengers to wear masks. (Delta is keeping middle seats empty at least through Jan. 6). Going forward you will fly on newer and cleaner aircraft. “Medill Reports Chicago” noted that Airbnb pivoted from short-term rentals to longer-term contracts. Where average rentals were 2.5 days, some guests, especially those fleeing virus-plagued big cities, are staying a month or more. Owners allow more time for cleaning between rentals, employing ozone generators to kill germs. Families, missing get-togethers, are booking homes in resort areas for a week or more. Challenge is the mother of invention. Recently, WHO’s Dr. David Nabarro said, “We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus.” The doctor used the phrase “primary means” relating to COVID-19, clarifying, “The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers...but by and large,
we’d rather not do it.” We are not likely to see widespread lockdowns going forward, as the fallout in terms of economic distress, including food shortages in parts of the world, is painfully evident. This too, is prompting a surge in creativity and innovation in everything from the formulation of vaccines and therapeutics, rethinking of supply lines and distribution methods for all manner of goods, food security, environmental protections, etc. Restaurants are beginning to fill as people are restless. As social animals we want to get back to some semblance of normal. Vaccines are coming. Health care workers and high-risk persons will be first in line. As COVID-19 recedes as the “worry du jour,” innovation is energizing preparations for the next pandemic, and there will be one! For those in school, anyone contemplating career paths or looking for a reset, heads up! Technologist Tom Golway declares, “Innovation has always been a catalyst of economic creative destruction, triggering the extinction of certain types of jobs while fostering the genesis of new types of jobs with new types of skills.” Are your skills up to date?

Apple Cider Days 2020 For the last four years, the arrival of fall has also meant Apple Cider Days at Donaldson-Bannister Farm. This year, Dunwoody Preservation Trust continues the tradition Saturday Nov.14. VALERIE This year is BIGGERSTAFF particularly significant for DonaldsonBannister Farm, marking 150 years since the home was built by William J. and Millie Adams Donaldson. The land was acquired from Jesse Adams, Millie’s father. Six families called the farm home through the years until it was purchased by DeKalb County in 2006. When Dunwoody became a city, Donaldson-Bannister Farm became a city park. It is always fun when animals return to the farm, and Apple Cider Days will include a petting zoo. Other activities include crafts for children and a selfguided apple scavenger hunt around the farm. A display of vintage farm tools and home goods gives adults and children an idea of what life was like on the farm and in the farm community of Dunwoody. A new addition this year is Scarecrow Row. Schools, civic organizations, athletic groups, neighborhoods, faithbased organizations and families are invited to submit their family-friendly scarecrow by Nov. 10. Go to appleciderdays.org to enter the contest, then look for your scarecrow on display in the meadow. Prizes will be awarded in the categories of Best in Show, Scariest
Scarecrow and People’s Choice Award. Walk around the farm and picture Millie Adams Donaldson managing the 600-plus acre farm as a widow after William J. died in 1900. Imagine children Fred and Fletcher Donaldson in 1930 being pulled in a cart by a goat or trying to throw a ball over the house in a game called Annie Over. Picture widow Lois Pattillo (later Bannister) meeting with her architect Francis Palmer Smith in 1935 to plan her remodel of the home from farmhouse to Colonial Revival style. Visualize the Ogden family in 1949 swimming in the creek down the road, back when the property was 29 acres. Or multiple greenhouses on the land in 1960 when nursery owner Frank Smith lived here with his family. You may still remember the horses and donkeys the Chesnuts had on the farm through the 1980s and 1990s. To accomplish social distancing, three time slots are scheduled for Apple Cider Days, noon until 1:30 p.m., 1:45 p.m. until 3:15 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. Face masks are recommended, and hand sanitizing stations will be located around the farm. Go to appleciderdays.org to purchase tickets for your time slot. Chick-fil-A will be there with food and beverages for purchase. Craft beer will be available from Moondog Growlers. Free parking for Apple Cider Days will be available at Independence Square office park at the corner of Peeler Road and Chamblee Dunwoody Road. You can email Valerie at pasttensega@ gmail.com or visit pasttensega.com.

One comparison an investor might make is this: is the risk lower when investing in multiple smaller cost properties versus purchasing a larger building? Another option is to purchase a duplex or a quadraplex. A duplex is considered a “multifamily” property and has two units per building. Usually each side has the same floor plan with separate access and utilities. Two
separate tenants occupy the building with individual leases. A duplex gives the owner the additional benefit of dual income from individual tenants. Some new investors may choose to purchase a duplex and live in one side, while simultaneously leasing the other side. In some cases, the rental income from the tenant can cover the entire monthly mortgage. A quadraplex, known as a “quad”, consists of four units per building. The benefits are similar to those of a duplex, offering more financial cushion if a unit is vacant. However, the initial investment is usually higher. The third opportunity for the investor is to buy a small apartment building—consisting of five or more units. Properties offering more than five units are sometimes owned by corporations, retirement funds or large investors. Small apartment buildings are usually purchased in partnerships or small investment groups. For more information, please request my free article “Investing in Residential Real Estate.”

This Dominant Kitchen Cabinet Trend Brought to you by — Remodeling Expo Center When you go shopping for kitchen cabinets there literally are hundreds of door styles and colors to choose from, but the plain truth is that over 90% of all cabinets sold are shaker style and the majority of them are white. White cabinets are the dominant cabinet trend and its been this way for a decade now. Why is this? Stay with me, here. While other cabinet fads come and go, white is a beloved classic for a reason. It’s versatile, it lets the beauty of your millwork show through (whether traditional, shakerinspired, or minimalist and modern), and it’s incredibly easy to live with for years to come. A quick swap of hardware or a new backsplash, and boom—your kitchen looks brand new again. “Like a black dress for a lady or a white button down shirt for a man; white cabinets are an incredibly versatile basis and can be “accessorized” with additional elements like flooring, counters, backsplash, to take on dramatically different looks, from traditional to minimalist to modern”, says John Hogan owner of Remodeling Expo Center. “Our designers create white cabinet kitchens with such different personalities. It’s amazing!” Some of the most popular and beautiful accessory elements being installed today are: a bright marbleized or veined countertop of quartz or quartzite, complementing perimeter cabinets with a differ-
While other cabinet fads come and go, white is a beloved classic for a reason. ent color island – a striking navy blue or a soft dove gray, expressing your personality with a bold colored backsplash in a interesting herringbone pattern, using expressive cabinet hardware – matte black for drama or satin nickel for sophistication, extending the cabinets to the ceiling to enlarge the room and achieve a grand appearance, incorporating some glass doors on the cabinets to display collectables and fine wine glasses, or using interesting angles in the hood above the cooktop and staggering cabinet heights to create interest for the eye. Kitchen expert John Hogan concludes “If you think shaker or white cabinets are boring, then you just haven’t engaged the right designer yet! It takes careful thought of all the elements in a kitchen to create a million dollar look”. Any realtor will tell you, beautifully designed kitchens with white cabinets, make it easy to sell a home.

Top 3 tips when selling & buying your next home By ANDREA CUENY Ansley Atlanta Real Estate Recently I experienced the sell-buy-move process first-hand. As a seasoned Realtor®, I thought I had this process mastered. Little did I know, I was CUENY in for some perspective. Although I work closely with my clients throughout their buying and selling process, to experience the emotional and physical challenges myself was eye-opening. With my fresh perspective as a buyer and seller, I wanted to share my top tips for ensuring your next move goes smoothly. 1. Rely on professionals. As an agent, I’m often the go-to resource for my clients. But I also rely on other professionals to bring each transaction to a successful close, such as lenders, home inspectors, and closing attorneys. If possible, work with one closing attorney to close both your sale and purchase. We worked with Campbell & Brannon to close both our sale and purchase, and it helped streamline the process of preparing for closing. I also enlisted Order By Kate to help us with unpacking and organizing closets in our new home. Amid the chaos of moving, mom-ing, and running a business, this service was a game changer. If you don’t have the resources to hire a professional mover or organizer, enlist your family and friends. Moving takes a village, so get your village ready. 2. Prepare for inspections. Most buyers know that a home inspection is a critical step in the purchase process. It’s worth understanding the types of inspections and the importance of each, and a good agent will help educate you. For example, the importance of a final walkthrough inspection, even for new construction, to ensure the property is in the condition you expect before you
sign. And sellers don’t always realize that they too should be proactive when it comes to inspections. I like to provide a pre-market preparation list for my sellers that includes items like having a seasonal HVAC service, changing burned-out light bulbs, and addressing plumbing leaks. Lastly, be sure to schedule all inspections, including the final walkthrough, with as much communication as possible. 3. Make Logistics a priority. It may seem sensible to wait to schedule movers or utility transfers until you feel that
moving is most certain. However, moving companies are often booked months in advance, even in a normal market. In a pandemic market, this can be even more of an issue with increased logistical challenges and decreased staff. Interview moving companies well ahead of time,and be sure to discuss contingency plans for weather and closing delays. On moving day, you are the director of operations, and the more organized you are, the less stressful it will be. The day after our move I remember sitting in my living room amid the
moving boxes, as a Realtor®, my personal move took a lot of work, planning, and coordination. Of course everything works out and you get unpacked, but believe me when I tell you ‘I’ve been there.’ This year my team will help over a hundred clients buy and sell homes, and we have been a trusted resource to make the process smooth and enjoyable for nearly two decades. I hope these tips are helpful to you. For more information and a list of our recommended vendors and resources, visit us at thecuenyteam. com. Good luck with your next move!
