Dunwoody adopts 2020 spending plan By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Council adopted a $39.6 million 2020 budget with little dispute Oct. 28. The proposed budget assumes a tax rate of 2.740 mills, unchanged since Dunwoody incorporated in 2008. With this rate and other revenue sources, the proposed budget anticipates $39.6 million in revenue. The General Fund budget, which funds everyday operations, is $25.6 million, a 1.2 percent increase from 2019. The budget maintains a four-
month minimum reserve. The Capital budget includes $3.7 million for repaving, $1.4 million for intersection improvements at Chamblee Dunwoody and Spalding Drive and $1 million for a sidewalk on Peeler Road from Equestrian Way to Brook Run Park. In personnel, the proposed budget includes $109,000 for two additional sworn police officers, $160,000 for additional contractual parks positions. One difference from the mayor’s original proposal was an increase in parks positions from one full-time and one part-time to two full-time. Other changes out of committee
were additional funding for employee retirement plans and allocating $60,000 within economic development for art efforts. All of these were offset by reserve funds. Two citizens spoke against the budget at the one public hearing that was held Oct. 14. The opponents said the budget was too high, criticized the art funding and asked for more transparency of the city’s financial documents. One change was made to the budget at the Oct. 28 meeting. In the original proposal, $50,000 was allocated for an environmental study related to the I-285 managed lanes project. Councilwoman
Lynn Deutsch asked the money be reserved for professional services for the same project. “Because we don’t know the timing and what exactly we might need, and GDOT has turned inward and is not sharing, I think we’re better off leaving our options open for what services we might need,” Deutsch said. The funding could still be used for an environmental study, or it could be used for a traffic survey or litigation. The amendment passed unanimously along with the budget.

Dunwoody apologizes for early a.m. wakeup calls By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Though many got an extra hour of sleep this weekend, some Dunwoody residents were not happy last Friday when they received an unwanted wakeup call around 4:15 a.m. The robocall alerted residents to a freeze warning. Some residents received a text. By 9:30 that morning Dunwoody had issued an apology statement. The city said the message was an automatic alert from the National Weather Service that was distributed through
Nixle, the alert service the Dunwoody Police Department works with. The early morning alert did not involve city personnel. The city did not release an exact estimate of how many received the message, but said several recipients are not Dunwoody residents or have never signed up for Dunwoody alerts through Nixle. The city said police are working with Nixle to investigate why an alert of this nature went out so early in the morning. The system is intended to be used for emergencies only, and the city is working to ensure that will be the case going forward.

The program, in partnership with the City of Dunwoody, enables park contributors and patrons to support Dunwoody Parks through a tax-deductible contribution in the form of a bench adoption. Contributors can have a personalized message on a 3 by 5-inch plaque placed on a park bench in one of the city’s 11 parks or properties. The tour included future park updates given by Michael Cowan, director of the Nature Center and Brent Walker, director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Dunwoody.

In other business, the city approved a contract with MARTA and the Perimeter Community Improved District to construct a mid-block pedestrian signal across Hammond Drive at the entrance to the MARTA station. The segment of road has the highest number of mid-block pedestrian crossings in Dunwoody, according to city reports, with more than 20 crossings per hour in the morning and afternoon and nearly 60 crossings per hour at lunch. The PCID secured a $320,000 federal grant for the crosswalk and is providing the local matching funds of $80,000 and construction management oversight. The city’s only financial obligation is for ongoing maintenance which is estimated to be $3,000 a year.
The redistricting plan is expected to go before the School Board for a first read in January 2020 and for adoption in February. Redistricting has come about with the anticipated opening of the new Austin Elementary School in January 2020. The school will have 950 seats, 450 more than the current school which has 500 seats, but 711 students enrolled. During the first round of input, parents and community members raised concerns about traffic — particularly on Robert Drive, Mount Vernon Road and neighborhood cut-throughs — and relieving overcrowding at Dunwoody Elementary School. With 1,777 students Dunwoody
Elementary is the largest elementary school in the cluster and, along with the next largest Hightower Elementary, is more than 200 students over capacity. The three options presented by the school district are 1) to balance enrollment as equally as possible, 2) to balance enrollment as equally as possible without adding portable classrooms at the new Austin Elementary or 3) to help relieve the Dunwoody cluster by shifting some of Hightower’s enrollment to Doraville United Elementary School. Under the third option, the students currently zoned for Hightower would continue to feed into Peachtree Middle School and Dunwoody High School. All three plans would leave dozens of trailers in use and the Dunwoody cluster hundreds of students over capacity, leading some community

members to call for a new elementary school. The school district has said using the old Austin Elementary School site is not feasible. For all schools, rising 5th graders would have the option to continue at their current school, but no transportation would be provided by the school district. The official criteria for school districts are primarily geographic proximity, instructional capacity and projected enrollment. When the primary criteria indicate more than one option, the secondary criteria are safety and traffic patterns, previous redistricting, intact neighborhoods, special programs, condition of facility, school feeder alignment and efficient and economical operations.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — The outside attorney hired by the City of Dunwoody to review the powers of Georgia cities, counties and local school districts regarding school construction, maintenance and repairs says state law buffers schools from local codes. “It is my opinion that the city does not have the authority to directly compel a local school system to comply with its local ordinances,” William White, a partner with Smith Welch Webb and White Attorneys at Law, stated in a letter to Assistant City Attorney William Riley. In his review of relevant constitutional provisions, statutes and regulatory schemes, White found that “significant discretion is vested in local school districts (acting through local boards of education) as it relates to the construction, maintenance and repair of local school facilities.” The City of Dunwoody requested White’s review in August, after City Council members voted unanimously to seek an outside legal opinion on the question of school board sovereignty. The question stemmed from concerns over tree loss and the placement and condition of portable classrooms at sev-
eral DeKalb County schools within the city limits. White and his law firm were chosen based on their extensive experience representing cities and boards of education in Georgia. They’ve represented cities in litigation and have negotiated the interplay between powers of separate sovereigns. “Local boards of education have nearly limitless powers to manage the affairs of their school districts without interference from other branches of government,” White wrote in his report. “This is the case even in the realm of the construction, maintenance, and repair of local school facilities.” White’s analysis finds less authority for the city to enforce ordinances than prior analysis from the city attorney. Currently, the city enforces city codes related to land disturbance issues and fire safety at DeKalb County schools. The city recently revoked a memorandum of understanding that gave the school district the ability to use a thirdparty professional engineer to review site plans.

Marist School launches multidisciplinary program BROOKHAVEN, Ga. — Marist School has announced the launch of “STEAM 2.0,” a program that will focus on teaching students to make a positive impact through service to others. The program will explore the intersection of STEAM departments — science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics — with global and humane studies. The overarching goal of the program is to help students build empathy, the school said. In this way, the program aligns with the school’s strategic plan, which calls for Marist to provide a world-class education that prepares students to lead and serve with compassion, integrity and a sense of purpose. The centerpiece of the program is The Center for Immersive Experience and Design, an 8,000-square-foot space on the bottom floor of the Wooldridge Center, which also houses the academic center, library and technology department. The center will be a makerspace, a sort of open lab where students can work on robotics, 3D design and printing, virtual and augmented reality,
COMMUNITY podcasting, filmmaking, music and other STEAM projects. Construction on these spaces will begin in spring 2020, while work on the Center for Immersive Experience and Design will be completed during the summer. Both will be ready for the 2020-2021 academic year.

OPINION
Veterans Day thoughts on Utah Beach As we approach Veterans Day, I can’t help but reflect on our bicycling trip in Normandy several years ago. One year I turned those thoughts into a column about Omaha Beach. This year, it’s KATHY the village of Sainte MANOS PENN Marie du Mont and the Utah Beach D-day Museum that keep coming to mind. I have to agree with Rick Steves when he writes, “This is the best museum on the D-Day beaches... thorough yet manageable… [with] a series of fascinating exhibits and displays.” To reach the museum, we cycled a pleasan, 10 -mile route along the coast and marveled at the stunning Channel view occasionally interrupted by the remains of German bunkers. We wondered aloud what the lives of the Normans had been like during the occupation — a question answered for us when we toured the museum. Like the Omaha Beach Memorial, this museum includes viewing rooms with films, plus explanatory panels of photos, stories and quotes. Conceived in 1962 by the mayor of Sainte Marie du Mont, the museum has grown over the years, and its last expansion completed in 2011 added oral histories of American soldiers and Norman civilians alike, plus a B-26 Marauder and an original Higgins Boat landing craft. We heard tales of the civilian population going hungry and, unbeknownst to the Germans, slaughtering dairy cows to feed their families and neighbors. “The founder of the Museum Michel de Vallavieille would recall, ‘We had a miserable life, a life that became increasingly harder and more miserable as time went by.’” One story that caught our attention was that of Major David Dewhurst, an Army Air Force squad commander in World War II who flew bombing raids, including the “final bombing run on the German
stronghold WN5, moments before the Allied landing at Utah Beach,“ only to die in an auto wreck not long after returning home to Texas. I didn’t realize as I stood there, astonished at that turn of events, that his sons had only discovered their father’s story upon visiting Utah Beach in 2007 and seeing his name and photo. From Utah Beach, we cycled past a statue of Major Dick Winters, whose story you may recall from “Band of Brothers,” and headed to Sainte Marie du Mont for coffee. There we stumbled on a museum housed in a small shop. The proprietor explained that his shop had been German Hheadquarters for four years and Allied headquarters for six months. With his little bit of English, he showed us the rooms where the Germans had drawn pictures on the walls, and then he cranked up a German siren, giving me cold chills. If you’ve ever seen a WWII movie, you know the sound. We wandered the town square reading plaques that described the exploits of the soldiers who liberated the town. Paratrooper Ambrose Allie was about to be executed when a U.S. squad shot the Germans aiming at him. Another plaque told of a “High Noon” scenario in the square. Yet another described a soldier, seemingly older than most, who hid behind a water pump with his rifle cradled in the crook of his arm. From there, he calmly picked off Germans as they ventured into the square. We all imagined him as an old country boy who hunted back home. It’s not the uniforms, guns and other artifacts in the museums that brought the Normandy Invasion to life for me, but these personal stories. So many towns have memories to share, demonstrating that the people of Normandy have neither forgotten their WW II ordeal nor the debt they owe to the many who fought to free them. I sincerely hope that we Americans have similarly long memories about the sacrifices made by our veterans not only in WW II but in subsequent wars and conflicts.

OPINION
PAST TENSE
Ike Roberts and Roswell Railroad’s first run In sharing history of road names, I recently mentioned that Roberts Drive is named for Roswell Railroad engineer Isaac Roberts, better known as Ike. Roberts was born in Gaston County, VALERIE North Carolina in BIGGERSTAFF 1853. He began working for the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line Railroad in 1872. The railroad would later become Southern Railway. During the late 1870s, he helped with construction of the Roswell Railroad, which went from the south side of the Chattahoochee River near Roswell to Chamblee. A bridge to take the railroad across the river was planned but never completed. Some records show the railroad was operational from 1880 until 1920, others say 1881 until 1921, and others indicate it continued operations through 1924. Whichever is correct, Roberts was the engineer for all those years. Sometimes, Ike Roberts would
act as both engineer and conductor. Other times, Pierce Sudderth was conductor. Hub Berry, a baggage handler for the railroad, boarded with the Roberts family. In 1900, the full Roberts household consisted of Ike Roberts, Nancy (Nannie) Turley Roberts, three daughters, Ike’s sister and her two children, his mother-in-law and three boarders. Their home was just across the road from the Roswell Station, in what was then known as Oak Grove. Let me share a recollection of the first day the engine of the Roswell Railroad made its trip from Roswell to Chamblee. It was a chilly morning in early November 1880. A young boy named William Robert Warnock, 12 years old, eagerly anticipated the first run of Dinkey. Family and friends called William Robert by the name Billy Bob. Dinkey was not a unique name for an engine, but one often given to similar small engines. The steam-driven freight and passenger train ran on a narrowgauge track. The engine was later known as Buck or Old Buck, probably after the track was converted from narrow gauge to standard gauge.
Billy Bob walked from his home on Lawrenceville Road (now Mount Vernon Road) to the newly built Dunwoody Depot, along Chamblee Dunwoody Road, just north of the Cheek house, and waited for the train to arrive. As the engine pulled in front of the depot, Billy Bob saw Ike Roberts wearing his striped engineers cap. Billy Bob had purchased a ticket to board the train, but many adults were ahead of him and the passenger car began to fill up. Engineer Roberts announced there was standing room only and Billy Bob began to worry that he wasn’t going to make it on the train. However, Roberts saw the boy, and having a lifelong love for trains himself, understood how Billy Bob felt and reached out his hand to help him aboard. Billy Bob was among those who took a ride on Dinkey, the engine of the Roswell Railroad on the first day. This story was passed down through the Warnock family and shared by Sidney B. Horne 100 years later. Horne was a writer for the Dunwoody Crier and his article The Day of the Dinkey appeared in the October 9, 1980 issue.

The Investment Coach
Home ownership and the wealth gap A front-page story in The Wall Street Journal (10/16/19) underscored the importance of ownership in the building of financial wealth. “When a Lewis J. Walker, CFP Titled Six-Figure Salary Still Can’t Buy a Home,” the report detailed a growing number of high-income families who out of necessity rent versus buy. How does this story play into current political debates on the income and wealth gap in America? Understand the role of “ownership” in the quest for wealth building and financial independence. In my college undergraduate major at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, a required course was “Development of Civilization,” taught by a legendary history teacher, Carroll Quigley. His book, “Evolution of Civilizations,” published in 1961 and still in print, provided a comprehensive and perceptive review of the factors leading to the rise and fall of civilizations. My roommate and I reduced the point to one of simplicity. Throughout most of history there were largely only two kinds of people divided into two classes — the royal class which owned and controlled most of the land and means of production, and the workers and serfs, often exploited, who owned little to nothing. America was born out of rebellion as people saw an opportunity to work and own and build regardless of class or royal lineage. The ability to work, save, acquire tangible assets and grow equity, is a hallmark of American success. Many
settlers in the nascent United States were Europeans who could emigrate, work and buy land, and grow equity as a farmer versus toiling in the fields for a lifetime, accumulating little. That’s not to suggest that one cannot merely work and save by putting money in a bank or other savings institution. But the real key to wealth accumulation is “ownership, not ‘loanership.’” For the average American, a significant component of wealth is equity in a home. Houses are effective wealth builders because in growing areas with increasing populations home prices tend generally to outpace inflation and rise. The leverage factor is important. One can borrow a portion of the purchase price (mortgage), amplifying prices when prices are rising. Leverage (debt) always has a downside when prices are falling, as we saw when housing prices peaked in early 2006 and began to decline in 2006, 2007 and 2008, reaching new lows in 2012. The resulting credit crisis as the housing bubble burst took down the stock market and was a significant cause of the deep 2007-2008 recession. Prior to that, everyone, including bond raters, underwriters and salespersons, assumed that housing prices only went up. Au contraire! The law of gravity never has been repealed. What goes up can come down. In looking at any investment, or in divining cyclical trends, be wary of excess debt and leverage. The Journal article focused on a desirable suburb of Denver with good schools and homes in demand. Even with a household income of $100,000, well above the U.S. median household income of $63,179 (2018 data), families burdened with debt cannot afford down
payments. Credit card debt is at new highs. Add car payments and student loan debt and many young families can’t swing ownership. There’s a boom in houses being built strictly for rent. Ownership of tangible assets likely to grow in value in excess of inflation are central to wealth building. Stocks representing ownership of a thriving and growing enterprise and real estate are key elements of the wealth equation. With any real estate investment, prudent due diligence involves the understanding of any leverage in place and the ability to service that debt. Real estate tends to go through supply/demand cycles and excess debt has sunk many a developer and investor. A 2017 Fidelity Investments survey found that 88 percent of millionaires are self-made. Only 12 percent inherited significant money, comprising at least 10 percent of their wealth. The largest percentage of millionaires are business owners. Given the age wave, a tsunami of aging baby boomer entrepreneurs are wrestling with transition realities, how to grow, sustain, monetize and pass on the wealth they’ve created. The average age of millionaires in the U.S. is 61. Selfmade achievement of wealth takes time,
sacrifice and patience. A significant number of millionaires achieved wealth through paid work, largely as skilled professionals or managers. College students who do not wish to accept the entrepreneurial risks and sacrifices that go along with business ownership, must carefully consider career choices and costs of living in the locations of their preference if personal and family financial independence is important. True wealth goes beyond money into issues of character, fidelity, generosity and selflessness, recognizing that God’s definition of net worth is far difference than the one tracked by your accountant. Money can destroy as well as build up. What is your end game? Lewis Walker, CFP®, is a financial life planning strategist at Capital Insight Group; 770-441-3553;lewis@lewwalker. com.

Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty
2019? According to Design 2 Sell®, a local, award-winning staging and interior services company, these are a few tips so you can stay on-trend:
When selling your home, every inch of Rawlings space should be beautiful and pristine, and a great way to increase your competitive edge is through staging.

If you are planning on downsizing are all relevant family members aware of the upcoming sale of your home and the reasons for it? It is a good idea to have a family discussion about the decision to sell prior to GRIFFIN signing commitments. Adult children often have strong emotional stakes in the sale. If the move involves significant downsizing, this may also be a time to bring up property and possessions issues. Unfortunately, there is not a strong market for used furniture. Especially traditional and antique pieces. Even charities and consignment shops are very selective in what they will take. Your adult children may already have a house full of furniture and have no need for your items. We spend our lives collecting mementos, furniture
and items to enjoy over the years, and then we spend our later years shedding these same things! When you get ready to downsize, the question becomes- what is coming with me and what is going away. We find ourselves making decisions about each possession and it’s “fate”. Most seniors have found it is best to downsize their possessions over several years to prevent the major stress of moving and dealing with a multitude of items. For more ideas to make downsizing more smooth, contact Dan Griffin, Broker/Realtor Keller Williams First Atlanta.

Top 5 ways to make money on your home “Despite being in the longest real estate bull market in recent history, I still meet with homeowners who can’t sell their homes”, says John Hogan, President of Remodeling Expo Center. “These homeowners can’t understand how their neighbors are making so much money and their realtor is encouraging them to drop the price of their home for the second time.” It’s at this point that the homeowner usually comes to my design center and askes for help. “Remodeling to-sell the home is not my favorite type of project, but we do it all the time. I just wish that homeowners did it sooner, so that they could enjoy their remodeled home before they sold it”, say Peter Schnieper, co-owner of Remodeling Expo Center. By doing these 5 things you will be sure to make money as you sell your house. Schools. When selecting your home focus on the quality of the schools, especially the high school. Atlanta Public School’s issues are driving a migration to the North Atlanta suburbs and this demand is escalating home prices. Your Greatest Investment. Think of your home as an investment, not an expense. It needs to be cared for, optimized, adjusted, and you will need professional guidance, just like your stock portfolio. Many people accumulate more wealth in their homes than in their savings, so why don’t we pay more attention to the health of our homes? This is a critical difference between people who make money and people who don’t. Your home can be your best performing investment, if you treat it as such.

Trends: Continued from Page 12 understated with textured pillows or go bolder by making a textured couch or rug the statement piece of a space. Also, performance fabrics are making their way indoors. Not only do these fabrics make great decor, they also allow for easy clean-up and durability. Colors If you love earthy tones, this is the trend for you! Gray is on the way out, making room for the neutrals moving in. Fill each room with warm, clean neutral tones, such as classic white, navy, emerald and beige. Kitchen As one of the staple features of any home, your kitchen needs to reflect

Adaptation. “My cabinets have good bones”. If I hear that one more time, I think I’m going to scream! says Brittany Lingerfelt, Remodeling Expo Center’s Design Studio Manager. She continues, “that’s like justifying wearing a 15 year old style skirt because it doesn’t have holes in it.” Styles change, the American family has changed, the kitchen is now designed based upon flow, connectivity and the digital age and the sturdy “Bones” of your old oak cabinets are irrelevent. Bathrooms now focus on beauty, brightness, health and cleanability, not practicality and segmentation. The home has adapted. Don’t expect a premium price for your home if it looks like a “Brady Bunch” home. Over Personalization. I’ve seen built-in parrot cages in bathrooms, built-in deep fryers in kitchens, etc. Sure it’s your home, but if you personalize it with non-removable items, or make changes that don’t make sense to most of the population, you’re going to devalue your home. Bright, Open and Spacious. This is a pretty basic formula that always works. Move a few walls, brighten up the paint colors, counters, and invest in lighting. Follow this formula and you will improve the value of your home. For more information of how to improve the value of your home, contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969 or stop in at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075. www.RemodelingExpo.com.

market trends. You can do so by adding quartz countertops, bold island colors, subway tile or patterned backsplash, statement walls and side-mounted sinks. Macro-Trends On a macro level, the market is showing feminine, New Nordic and technological styles. If you like florals, pinks and rich reds, consider brightening your home with a feminine touch. The New Nordic style will give your residence clean lines and lighter woods, which is ideal if you are a fan of simple beauty. Unsurprisingly, technology has become a central theme and focus of Digital Age homes. As technology has advanced, televisions, vocal recognition devices, automatic utilities and more have become works of art in their own ways.

Blessed Trinity defeats Marist 33-30 HIES girls’ cross country wins in triple overtime, wins region title first state title in school history For the Crier
Every time Marist and Blessed Trinity get together on a Friday Night, the game usually ends in dramatic fashion; the latest edition of this rivalry was no exception. With the Region 7-AAAA title and a #1 seed in the AAAA State Playoff on the line, it would take three overtimes for the outcome to be decided with Blessed Trinity defeating Marist 33-30. The War Eagles (9-1 overall, 5-1 region) looked like they would continue their early offensive success as Cigelske would run 77-yards on Marist’s first offensive play, taking the ball all the way down to the Blessed Trinity 2 yard-line. Lincoln Parker would follow that with a 2-yard touchdown run for the game’s first score less than a minute after kickoff. However, Blessed Trinity would go 81-yards down the field on their first offensive series and tie the score on an Elijah Green 8-yard touchdown run. The Titans would force Marist to punt and Richard Bowen’s kick backed Blessed Trinity up to their own 6-yard line. However, on 3rd down from the 14-yard line, Justice Haynes took a toss sweep and outraced the Marist secondary for an 86-yard touchdown for a 14-7 lead at the end of the 1st quarter. Blessed Trinity intercepted a Connor Cigelske pass and returned it deep into Marist territory midway in the 2nd quarter but War Eagle defense held, and the Titans kicked a 27-yard field goal for a 17-7 lead. Marist would cut the lead to 17-10 on a 31-yard Bowen field goal with only seconds left before halftime. The 3rd quarter saw both teams adding field goals to the scoreboard, Aaron Werkheiser kicking a 40-yarder
early and Richard Bowen’s 45-yarder under 2 minutes and the quarter ended with Blessed Trinity ahead 20-13. A Marist interception from linebacker Tyler Hare late in the 3rd quarter would lead to a Connor Cigelske 1-yard touchdown run less than a minute into the final quarter to tie the score at 20-20. The defense dominated the rest of the 4th quarter and the game was sent to overtime to determine the outcome. The teams traded field goals in the first overtime period, Werkheiser kicking a 25-yarder for Blessed Trinity and Bowen a 26-yarder for Marist. In the second overtime, the teams matched touchdowns, Cigelske scoring from 1-yard out and Reavis hitting James Bryant on a 17-yard score. The Marist defense made plays in the third overtime period as they backed up the Titans w11-yards in three plays, but Aaron Werkheiser was clutch, hitting a 43-yard field goal that proved to be the winning difference. Titan defensive back Quinton Reese would step in front of a Cigelsketo-Matthew Houghton pass for the interception and seal the victory and the Titans’ second consecutive 7-AAAA Region Championship. Marist will have a bye-week to rest after 10 consecutive weeks football to prepare for the Class AAAA State Playoffs as the #2-Seed from Region 7-AAAA against the #3-Seed from Region 5-AAAA, that opponent to be announced next week. First Round action will be at Hughes Spalding Stadium on Friday, November 15 at 7:30 p.m.
Additional War Eagle “Aerial Coverage” Softball The Lady War Eagles finished the season as the 2nd ranked team in
Class AAAA after a resilient run in Columbus, Georgia and the Elite 8 double elimination tournament. After losing their first game, 4-3 to Oconee County, the team reeled off four wins in a 24-hour span to reach the Championship Series against Heritage-Catoosa. Weather would force the series to Ringgold, Georgia, home of Heritage Catoosa, where the Lady Generals would claim their second straight State Title. The War Eagles finished the season 28-6, 11-1 in the region and won their 20th region championship in 21 years under head Coach Mike Trapani in his final year at the helm of the Marist softball program.
Volleyball The Lady War Eagles’ bid for a second state championship in three years would come up short in the “Sweet 16” this season. After clinching region runner-up and the #2 seed out of region 7-AAAA the team would sweep Central-Carrollton in the 1st round but lose to Northside-Columbus 3-0 in the following round. The girls would finish the season at 27-15 overall and 6-2 in region play. Cross-Country On the trails, the Marist runners completed their season in Carrollton high school where the girls would finish 3rd and the boys 8th at this year’s state meet. Prior to the state meet, the girl’s team would go on to win their 22nd consecutive region championship.

For the Crier
The glass ceiling has been broken… After years of climbing almost all over the Georgia state cross country podium — with plenty of fourths, thirds, and even some second -place finishes — the Holy Innocents’ girls Running Bears shattered the glass Saturday morning in Carrollton, winning the first cross country state title in the 27-year history of the school’s program. Not only that, they did it in dominating fashion, as the girls took the crown by 21 points over the next team and by 60 points over the third. The boys did themselves proud as well, finishing second and also turning in the best performance at the state meet by any HIES squad. Both girls and boys went into Saturday’s meet ranked #2. “I don’t think I’ve cried since I lost my dog back in 1982,” co-head coach Dunn Neugebauer said. “Still, what these kids did today made me break down on the spot. And as for the guys’ race, it wasn’t a case of ‘if this or that had happened.’ They ran great. Unfortunately, we just came up against a better team.” Three girls earned All-State status (top-10 finisher), as Reese Neumann took fourth with a 19:49 over the 5K course; Hayden Puett was seventh in 20:21; and Reese Martin was right behind her in eighth at 20:28. This was huge, though the remaining runners providing the depth was just as big, as Emily Kallis (21:37), Maddie Poch (21:55), Erin Hill (22:25) and Jessica McNair (22:30) drove the final stake in the competitions’ hearts. One earned All-State for the boys. Freshman Joe Sapone finished sixth in 17:14. Still, depth was huge for the boys as well, as the next six all came in just over a minute of his time. Brandon Sertl (17:54), Griffin Bittel (18:02), James Watson (18:05), William Welden (18:16), Parker Miles (18:20) and Liam Hill (18:21) all excelled. “You could name any one of the 14 who ran today, and every single one of them stepped up,” co-head coach Stephen Jayaraj said. “The name of the game is to peak here in Carrollton; I’d say it’s an understatement that we did just that.” The teams advanced out of region last week after the boys successfully defended their title and the girls took second.
