Mayor Denis Shortal addresses the crowd at the Veterans Day ceremony at Brook Run Park Nov. 11.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — The City of Dunwoody held its annual Veterans Day Ceremony on Nov. 11 at the Brook Run Park Veterans Memorial.

Dunwoody Mayor Denis Shortal, a retired Marine Corps brigadier general, was the keynote speaker. Dunwoody Police Major Michael Carlson, a Georgia National Guard captain, served as master of ceremonies. The ceremony was co-hosted by the Dunwoody Veteran Events Planning Committee and Dunwoody Parks and Recreation.

“Veterans Day is an important Dunwoody tradition,” said Bev Wingate, coordinator of the committee. “It is a time to commemorate and honor the many brave men and women who have

sacrificed to defend our country and protect our freedoms. It is a time to express gratitude to them and their families for a debt that can never be repaid.”

The Dunwoody Veteran Events Planning Committee includes veterans, active military and community volunteers. The committee works in conjunction with the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Dunwoody Woman’s Club and Dunwoody Parks and Recreation to present veteran events.

Local students played important roles in this year’s Veterans Day Ceremony.

The Dunwoody High School Air Force JROTC, led by retired Air Force Lt. Col. Kenneth Bennett, presented the colors.

The Dunwoody High School Chorus performed “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

The Rev. Dr. David Lower, senior pastor at Saint Luke’s Presbyterian Church, gave the invocation.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police arrested a man suspected in multiple fraudulent withdrawals from local banks.

An employee at the Georgia United Credit Union on Tilly Mill Road called police Oct. 31 about a fraudulent money withdrawal in progress. The employee said they recognized the man from an internal memo cautioning that he was suspected in several previous fraud attempts.

Police Blotter All crime reports published by Appen Media Group are compiled from public records. Neither the law enforcement agencies nor Appen Media Group implies any guilt by publishing these names. None of the persons listed has been convicted of the alleged crimes.

Woman loses hundreds to person posing as boss DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Dunwoody woman called police Oct. 30 after she realized she had been scammed out of $500.

The woman said she had received an email the day prior from someone who claimed to be her employer. The email instructed the woman to provide her cell phone number. Soon after sending the information, the woman received a text asking her to purchase $500 worth of gift cards for their clients. After purchasing the cards, she said she sent pictures of the gift cards to the suspect.

The woman became suspicious when the suspect asked her to buy more cards.

She contacted her boss directly instead and confirmed that it was a scam.

Correction A story in the Nov. 7 edition of The Dunwoody Crier titled “DeKalb Schools considers trailers at new elementary school” incorrectly stated that the enrollment at Dunwoody Elementary is 1,777 students.

The correct enrollment is 1,177, according to reports provided by the DeKalb School district. The enrollment listed on the chart on the front page was the correct figure.

When the man presented the employee with a withdrawal slip for $8,000 and identification, the employee noticed that the identification was fraudulent.

The employee stalled the man while the manager called police.

The man, identified as 26-year-old Kenny Lee Howard III of Southfield, Mich., was arrested for identity fraud.

Former employee suspected of using company account DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police are investigating credit fraud in which a former employee at Progressive Medical center on North Shallowford Road is suspected of making unauthorized transactions on the company’s Amazon account.

The manager said he noticed the fraudulent transactions on Oct. 29. The transactions, which were made between May 11 through Oct. 28 totaled about $6,500.

The transactions ended after the employee was fired for unrelated reasons.

Center caps removed from parked vehicle DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police are investigating an Oct. 27 incident in which three center caps were taken from a car parked at Hammond Drive.

The owner parked her car that afternoon at that location. About two hours later, the woman returned, and she noticed that the caps were gone.

There were no cameras in the area.

Woman reports fraud after her purse is stolen DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Dunwoody woman contacted police Oct. 27 when she noticed several fraudulent purchases on her account after her purse was stolen.

The woman said she had parked her car that evening at Huntington Circle and did not lock it before entering her house.

The next morning, the woman sre-

ceived several notifications that her credit cards had been used at MARTA and at a Walmart. She checked her car and saw her purse was missing from where it had been placed in the center console.

The woman was able to freeze all of her cards and dispute all of the fraudulent charges before contacting police.

Police arrest teenager for shoplifting jacket DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police arrested a 19-year-old Oct. 27 for allegedly shoplifting from the Von Maur at Ashford Dunwoody Road.

The store’s loss prevention officer said she saw the teenager try on several jackets, then keep one on while walking around the store. At one point, the loss prevention officer saw the teenager tear off the price tag before walking out of the store. The teenager did not attempt to pay for the jacket, which was valued at $150.

The loss prevention officer stopped the teenager and called police.

Woman discovers fraud on credit card account DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Dunwoody woman called police Nov. 2 after she noticed fraudulent purchases on her credit card account.

On Oct. 29, the woman said she received a notification about a purchase made with her card. The $1,500 purchase was for an Apple Watch and iPhone.

The woman looked into the purchase and discovered that it was made in Morrow. She also found receipts bearing her forged signature.

DeKalb voters reject revisions to Ethics Act

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — By a margin of nearly 2 to 1, DeKalb County voters rejected a referendum that would have revised the DeKalb County Ethics Act. The measure was rejected by 61.3 percent of the voters.

Community members and some county officials had encouraged voters to check “No,” arguing that the new provisions would have gutted the Ethics Act passed in 2015.

“I call it the ‘No Ethics Bill,”’ said DeKalb County Commissioner Nancy Jester, whose district includes Dunwoody.

If passed, the new law would have replaced the county’s ethics officer with an ethics administrator, essentially a clerical position with no required experience in law or ethics work. The law would require county employees to file complaints through Human Resources before turning complaints over to the ethics board.

Critics said the law would also have made the Board of Ethics less independent from the county CEO and the County Commission, positions it is supposed to oversee. The CEO would

be able to make an appointment to the ethics board, and the CEO and commissioners would have to approve the ethics board’s policy.

In 2015, 92 percent of voters established a new ethics board to oversee county operations. Last year, parts of that law were ruled unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court because some of the ethics board members were selected by private organizations, such as the bar association or universities, rather than by elected officials.

Since that decision, the board has been unable to operate. Earlier this year, state Sen. Emanuel Jones introduced a bill that established new rules for selecting ethics board members, but rather than simply fixing the problem cited by the court decision, there were additional changes.

Those changes could not have gone into effect unless approved through a referendum, and by a wide margin, voters said they were too much to swallow.

“The DeKalb voters have spoken,” said DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond. “The focus now shifts back to the General Assembly where the legislative process begins anew.”

The ethics board is still essentially inoperable until the General Assembly passes a new piece of legislation and that law is approved by voters.

“DeKalb needs a strong ethics board,” Thurmond said. “Until the Legislature cures the flaws in the current legislation, we are in the untenable position of operating without an ethics board. This current state of affairs is unacceptable.”

DeKalb Citizens Advocacy Council Chair Mary Hinkel, who spearheaded opposition to the new bill, said the fight was not easy but she was proud of the outcome.

“The voters said, ‘we hear you, and we agree,’” she said. “We have proven that it is important to be informed about what is on your ballot, that words matter, that every vote counts, and that citizen engagement is fundamental to our democracy.”

State Rep. Mike Wilensky, who represents all of Dunwoody and parts of Doraville and Chamblee, congratulated voters for rejecting the revisions on Twitter.

“Now, in January, the DeKalb delegation can create legislation that will improve the current DeKalb ethics law, not weaken it,” he said.

Wildlife poses threat to Dunwoody Community Garden and Orchard

BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Amid the bustle of one of the largest office hubs in Metro Atlanta, the Dunwoody Community Garden and Orchard at Brook Run is facing a threat from — of all things — deer.

Garden officials are striving to build a new deer fence around the property.

Within the past year, the community landmark has been struggling to protect plants and crops from hungry animals displaced by the nearing construction developments in the Brook Run area.

Although the current fence bordering the garden covers roughly 700 feet, the installation technique and current state of repair hinders the fence from remaining a reliable protection source. With the garden’s complex shape and number of gates required for the project, the cost for a new fence is projected to exceed $16,000. “[The] Board of Directors is soliciting competing bids for an 8-foot replacement fence which would be professionally installed and have a life expectancy of at least 20 years,” said Stasia Kelly, DCGO spokeswoman for Community Outreach and Communications. “These estimates will not include charges for removing the old fence and posts, work that volunteers will be called upon to perform.”

The City of Dunwoody has agreed to match the funding raised by the DCGO for the project. However, because the city does not have any funding in its 2020 budget, the fence must be installed by the end of the year to receive the match.

“The DCGO Board of Directors has approved one of the three written estimates we solicited and forwarded that contract to the City of Dunwoody (Parks and Recreation) for signature,”

Special

Dunwoody Community Garden and Orchard includes some 60 garden beds, a greenhouse and orchard within Brook Run Park, just south of Peeler Road. said DCGO Chairwoman Ann Bone. “The actual customer for the fence is the city since Brook Run Park is city land…We are hopeful that installation can begin within the next few weeks and be completed by the end of the year.”

Since its founding in 2009, the garden and orchard has become a staple of the community. Beginning with just 60 numbered plots, the garden quickly expanded to 92 plots and extensive border plantings in 2011. The DCGO continues to thrive off of the continued support of community and business organizations along with their established partnership with the city’s Parks Department. Dedicated volunteers devote their time and

effort toward the DCGO’s extensive labor duties and requirements. “[We have received] all positive feedback,” said greenhouse manager Art Simon. “We are so fortunate to have these facilities and the support of the City of Dunwoody. [DCGO] is a well-kept secret and people are amazed when they visit the greenhouse complex and the main garden.”

Simon said the operation supports charity groups with food donations, other community gardens with plants and provides educational and recreational experiences for Boy Scouts and veterans groups.

With combined funding from an-

Mayor Shortal to host final town hall Nov. 19 DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody Mayor Denis Shortal will hold his final town hall Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. at Dunwoody City Hall, 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road.

Shortal invited all members of the community to attend.

“I ran for mayor on the promise of leading town hall conversations with our citizens, and we’ve held one every year,” Shortal said. “I look forward to an open discussion.”

The meeting will start with a presentation by Shortal, followed by a dialogue with attendees. Questions or comments can be submitted in advance by emailing communications@dunwoodyga.gov.

Notecards will also be available during the meeting for questions.

“I’m proud of what we’ve accom-

plished, and I know that Dunwoody is well-positioned for the future,” Shortal added.

“I still have things on my mind and objectives to accomplish.”

Shortal announced in April that he would not seek reelection so SHORTAL he could spend more time with his family. The retired airline pilot and Brigadier General in the Marines has played a role in Dunwoody city government since incorporation in 2008.

He served as a member of City Council before being elected mayor in 2015.

“I’m not taking off my pack,” Shortal said. “I’ll keep working until my last day.”

Dunwoody expands pedestrian infrastructure DUNWOODY, Ga. —The City of Dunwoody has begun work on a series of projects to improve the safety of pedestrians: a sidewalk extension and two crosswalks with new pedestrian refuge islands.

The Dunwoody Public Works Department extended the sidewalk at Windwood Hollow Park on Lakeside Drive to connect to the linear park by the reservoir on Peeler Road, allowing for greater access to amenities, including tennis courts and a handicap-accessible playground.

Additionally, in late October the city began a crosswalk project on Mount Vernon Road at North Peachtree Road that is expected to be completed by midNovember.

A new crosswalk and pedestrian refuge island will be added here to connect the Kingsley neighborhood with the shopping center across the street. Paving crews first resurfaced Mount Vernon Road between Jett Ferry Road and Dunwoody Club Drive in preparation for the new refuge island and lane striping.

Refuge islands allow pedestrians to cross traffic one lane at a time and pro-

The City of Dunwoody/Special

vide increased visibility of the crossing.

They also reduce the perceived roadway width, which can help lower speeds.

A refuge island will also be added at an existing crosswalk at the intersection of Tilly Mill Road and Andover Drive.

Before the work begins, Georgia Power will need to relocate two utility poles.

New drainage pipes and curb work is expected to begin in December.

“We’re targeting two locations where the high vehicular traffic volume makes it more difficult for pedestrians to find gaps for crossing the roadway,” Public Works Director Michael Smith said.

The pedestrian refuge islands are being funded by the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). Together, they will cost $450,000.

Dunwoody Preservation Trust unveils new website DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody Preservation Trust recently unveiled a new website and logo, with the goal of creating a comprehensive user-friendly site that explains what they do and why they do it.

“In a sense, the new logo says it all,” Chair Jim Williams said. “We added the words ‘past, present, future’ when we redesigned it to explain that our purpose, more than just rehabilitating historic structures, is preserving the past, celebrating the present and building the future.”

DPT members and supporters don’t seek to preserve old buildings to sit empty and collect dust. DPT properties exist to be used and enjoyed in the present.

Its prime property, the historic Donaldson-Bannister Farm, in just one year of operation has become a much-loved public and private event venue.

“We’re very proud of how many people have chosen the Donaldson-Bannister Farm as a place to celebrate their most important moments, such as weddings, anniversaries, special birthdays and family reunions,” Executive Director Suzanne Huff said.

The farm is also where DPT helps build the future through its Camp Flash-

back and its History Alive presentations, held every other month, on topics ranging from genealogy to the Vietnam War. DPT supports its work mainly through sponsorships, donations and its major fundraiser, the Lemonade Days Festival — a celebration of food, history, carnival rides, crafts and music — that brings together 80,000 people over its five-day run every April at Brook Run Park.

“The theme of the website,” said Marketing Director Carol Niemi, who wrote the site, “is that DPT is dedicated to what connects us most — our quality of life. If you’d rather see a historic farmhouse on the corner than a parking lot or a bank, then come join us.”

The website, designed by KappKoncepts, incorporates mini sites for Lemonade Days, Apple Cider Days and Camp Flashback, as well as a calendar of events and a whole structure for sponsorships and gift-giving.

“We urge anyone interested in a sponsorship to visit our new site,” Board Vice-Chair MJ Thomas said. “We have opportunities and benefits to meet everyone’s goals and budget.”

The Duke of Dunwoody, meet the Earl of Grantham

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody recently welcomed a member of the British nobility when the 8th Earl of Carnarvon visited The Duke to promote Highclere Castle Gin. Many would recognize Highclere Castle, not as the seat of Carnarvon or the namesake of a gin, but as the primary filming location of “Downton Abbey.” The British period drama television ran for six seasons with a featurelength film released earlier this year.

Lord Carnarvon and his family live in part of the castle, while the rest is used as an event venue and seasonal tourist destination.

Huw Thomas, owner of the Dunwoody Restaurant Group and several local pubs was happy to host the earl, describing him as a “great chap.” A Brit himself, Thomas’s pubs are stocked with antiques purchased in England and shipped here to give every destination a unique feel.

Why reflect on death? When you start preparing for death you soon realize that you must look into your life now... and

On All Souls Day, November 2, 2019, Christians commemorated the faithful departed. On Veterans Day, November 11, we saluted veterans, especially those who gave all, as we prayed for their souls and for solace for family and loved ones.

those making the final trip home. One night, around 2 a.m., a C-123 cargo plane arrived with the remains of a soldier killed up north, in a body bag on a stretcher anchored to the floor. As two airmen lifted the body, a crew member said, “Here lieutenant, you’re going to need this.” It was a freshly pressed uniform with a name tag and 1st Lieutenant insignia, the same rank as mine.

War often is matter-of-fact until the reality of humanity hits you. No longer was this just another body, faceless remains obscured by a bag, but a young man with a name. A man who got up that morning as I did, proceeded to do his duty as did I, and for whatever reason he was dead, and I was not. Why? In August, 1964, the Bay of Tonkin crisis occurred and President Johnson ordered a rapid buildup of forces. A college buddy of mine, a pilot and dear friend who I’d see in Saigon periodically, was shot down on approach to Bien Hoa airfield north of Saigon. He was the first Georgetown University graduate to die in the Vietnam War and now rests in Arlington National Cemetery.

We both graduated in the same class.

He died young in a futile war. I got to come home, marry, have a great career, children and grandchildren, and he did not. Why? As humans, we’re born to focus on life. We don’t like the word “death.” It’s too harsh, too grim. In a 1789 letter, Benjamin Franklin wrote, “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”

We spend a great deal of time and money each year with accountants and financial advisers trying to minimize tax burdens, making sure we file on time.

Yet, given the certainty of death, albeit we don’t know when or under what circumstances, why don’t we do more advance planning to spare loved ones and those who depend on us substantial headache and pain at a time of loss and grief?

The statistics of those who die with-

out wills is startling. The number of widows and families who are struggling financially because a breadwinner died with no insurance, or inadequate coverage, is sad. The numbers of “sandwich generation” daughters and sons dealing with challenges of aging parents who were not prepared for infirmity is heartbreaking. Early in my financial services career, I watched my company blow up because the owner, who died suddenly in his early 50s, had not prepared a succession and transition plan.

Out of experience as advisers we urge as part of ongoing planning, wills, powers of attorney for assets and healthcare, advance directives, trusts where applicable, be up to date. All closely held business owners, key people who depend on that business, families for whom the viability of the enterprise is the foundation for economic security, have an interest in timely succession and transition planning.

When you’re young, a bullet-proof aura of immortality rules. That’s why when you lose a friend, a beloved sibling or other relative, the reality of mortality stings so deeply. Irrespective of age, planning for disability and death is important.

Daily, we hear about someone who got up just like you in the morning, and never made it home. If that was you, and a week later you able to come back from the Great Beyond for a few hours to talk to loved ones, what would you tell them?

What would they need to know? Why wait to have that conversation? Why wait to take action?

PAST TENSE

Sisters pay tribute to parents and all veterans Jan Slimming and twin sister Jill Robertson are the children of parents who served during World War II. Slimming lives in Dunwoody, and Robertson lives in the south of England. This year, VALERIE they were selected to BIGGERSTAFF commemorate their parents and others who served by participating in London’s Cenotaph Parade on Nov. 10 — Remembrance Sunday — the day closest to Nov. 11, the end of World War I. The sisters marched in the parade with Children of Far Eastern Prisoners of War. Slimming and Robertson’s father, Stanley Moore, joined the Royal Army Service Corp in 1940. After training in England, his active service started in 1941 as part of a highly classified troop convoy from Liverpool on HMS Andes. The men believed they were going to North Africa to fight. Instead the protected convoy crossed the Atlantic to North America, where MOORE they transferred to the USS Wakefield for a three-month voyage to India, via the West Indies and South Africa. The sisters believe the long and complicated route was designed to avoid U-boats in the Atlantic and to ultimately tropicalize the men for combat in the Far East.

Moore was a dispatch driver for the RASC 18th Division. From India, his unit was sent to Singapore, but after a 17-day battle, the island fell to Japan, February 1942. Moore was captured and spent three and a half years as a prisoner of war in Changi. During the first 15 months, his parents and fiancée

SPECIAL

Jan Slimming, David Brede (Chair and Secretary of COFEPOW) and Jill Robertson marched with over ten thousand people in the Remembrance Day parade in London on Nov. 10. didn’t know his whereabouts, or whether he had survived. They finally were informed of his imprisonment and told they could send him packages by way of the Red Cross.

Moore had begun to keep a diary which he managed to keep hidden from his Japanese captors, and he continued to secretly write notes as a prisoner of war. Slimming and Robertson knew little about the diary and details of their father’s incarceration. If he spoke of his

experience, he glossed over the atrocities he witnessed.

The twin’s mother also spoke little of her World War II work. Some say the work she participated in was the second-best kept secret of the war, after the Atom Bomb. It was not revealed or discussed by anyone involved until the mid-1970s.

Daisy Lawrence enlisted at the War Office after a year of no word from her fiancée, Stan. Her new employment found her stationed deep in the British countryside. She described her position as a Foreign Office civil servant, but today, her daughters know that Daisy Lawrence Moore was one of the Bletchley Park Codebreakers.

Jan Slimming describes her mother’s work.

“She was part of a massive recruitment drive requiring a professional and efficient contingent of administrative staff ‘for work of national importance.’ At the secret intelligence location, new and faster machines, including The Bombe and Colossus, the world’s first electronic computer, were invented to speed up the codebreaking of the daily intercepted message cyphers of Axis Powers. Under the British Official Secrets Act, Daisy and the other codebreakers were never to speak of their work. They were warned that if they did it would be treason, leading to imprisonment or, possibly death.

As they undertook the often-boring job of decoding intercepted encrypted messages from Morse code in cyphers such as Enigma and Lorenz, the work was at times challenging. In Daisy’s case she had to recognize strange Japanese characters as well as decipher gibberish coded messages.”

More than 13,000 people worked at Bletchley Park and its satellite operation in Washington D.C. Most clerks, as they called themselves, were women who helped produce intelligence reports that led to crucial military decisions. It is estimated the work at Bletchley Park shortened the war by at least two years.

August 14, 2020 will be a special anniversary for many, including Jan Slimming and Jill Robertson. That day marks 75 years since Japan surrendered. The sisters began with Remembrance Day, Nov. 10, 2019 wearing the traditional red poppy, as in the World War I poem by John McCrae, In Flanders Field says In Flanders field, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row.

Thank you to Jan Slimming for sharing her parents’ history and her help and collaboration for this article.

Years ago on a bicycling vacation in Maine, a friend and I met two women from Manhattan. This was before Facebook, so we stayed in touch the old fashioned way. My Atlanta friend and I visited NYC, and they visited Atlanta. The four of us took additional cycling trips together. I saw them when I visited NYC on business, and they even came to my 1999 wedding.

In 2014, my husband and I took a Normandy cycling vacation and had possibly the best tour guides ever. Alan was especially knowledgeable about WWII history and appreciated my husband’s enthusiasm for the subject. Alan and his wife, Marie, live in Brittany part of the year and New Zealand the other half. We get annual New Year’s emails from them and dream of visiting them in both locations.

That same year, we met Rob and Alison on Amelia Island. When Rob discovered I was a columnist, we couldn’t stop talking about writing and his ambition to write a memoir honoring his dad’s military service and how it inspired Rob to go to West Point. Facebook and email kept us connected, and five years later, he asked if I’d edit the memoir we’d discussed. I was honored.

met on a river cruise. We wound up together on many of the tours and often for meals, and we were always laughing.

My email correspondence with Denise and the Facebook connection with both her and her daughter continue to make me smile.

On last year’s trip to England, we met a couple from Malta. Marilyn and I couldn’t stop talking about books, writing, and work. I knew she was a lawyer by day, but little did I know she was also a rock star. Seriously.

In 2009 on a whim, she started Cruz, an indie-pop band. With the band, she wrote and performed all over Malta and the sister island of Gozo — from the Great Beer Festival to MTV Music week.

A crowning achievement was being chosen as the supporting act for Malta’s number one band, Winter Moods, at a 2010 concert with 10,000 fans in the audience — a massive crowd for tiny Malta.

As her legal career took off, her music took a back seat. And so it went from 2013 until this year when she created Juno Valdez as an artist name for herself and returned to the recording studio. A lyricist before all else, the 31-year-old recorded material she’d worked on for

several years and released “Muse,” the first track, to major online platforms — Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music — on September 30.

Suffice it to say, I’m in awe not only of the talent but also of the energy. You can enjoy the music video at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=C34E9i4OTtw. It’s charting in the top 10 in Malta and has been picked up by a station in Milan. I’m clueless as to what it would take for her song to get air time on an American station, but when it does, I’m looking forward to saying, “I knew her when.”

I wonder who we’ll meet on our next trip. I have no doubt we’ll encounter interesting folks. The only question is whether we’ll get to add them to our list of friends.

What is Seborrheic Dermatitis?

By Josh A. Hammel, MD Board-Certified Dermatologist and FellowshipTrained Mohs Micrographic Surgeon Most Americans have heard of eczema, a condition that causes red, itchy, and inflamed Dr. HAMMEL skin. Fewer however, are familiar with seborrheic dermatitis, also called sebopsoriasis and, in non-clinical terms, dandruff. For infants, the condition is known as cradle cap and causes crusty, scaly patches on the scalp.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that mainly affects your scalp and face, however, it can appear on any part of the body where there are a lot of oil-producing (sebaceous) glands.

Symptoms and causes of Seborrheic Dermatitis Seborrheic dermatitis symptoms may include scaly, red skin, itching and burning, and skin flakes (dandruff).These symptoms can occur on the scalp, ears, side of the nose, eyebrows, eyelids, and chest. The affected area often appears greasy or wet with the skin beneath the scale and flakes being red in color. The scale can flake off and tends to be yellowish to white in color. The signs and symptoms may be more severe if you are stressed, and they tend to flare in cold, dry seasons. People of all skin colors and ages get seborrheic dermatitis, although infants up to three months old and adults between the ages of 30

and 60 are most susceptible.

Doctors do not yet know why some people get seborrheic dermatitis and others do not. It is known to be related to the yeast that normally lives on human skin, genetics, cold and dry climates, stress, overall health, and an irregular response by the immune system. Research has shown that seborrheic dermatitis is not an allergy and it does not cause internal harm to the body.

Diagnosis and treatment of Seborrheic Dermatitis There is no one test for diagnosing seborrheic dermatitis. Commonly, your doctor will ask about your medical history and perform a physical examination of your skin. A skin biopsy (a procedure in which a small sample of skin is taken) may rarely be required to rule out other conditions that can mimic seborrheic dermatitis (psoriasis, eczema, or an allergic reaction). Each of these skin diseases require different treatment.

There is no known permanent cure for seborrheic dermatitis. Treatment is very effective, however, and can reduce flare-ups, bring relief, and control symptoms. The type of treatment a dermatologist prescribes varies with age and where the seborrheic dermatitis appears on the skin. The most common treatments focus on loosening and removing scale, reducing normal yeast colonization, reducing inflammation, and lessening itch.

If you think you might have seborrheic dermatitis, please call our office at (770) 452-5667 to schedule an appointment.

A few people see seborrheic dermatitis clear without treatment. More often, seborrheic dermatitis lasts for years. It tends to clear and flare without warning. Treatment often is necessary to control it.

Many infants get cradle cap, a type of seborrheic dermatitis that develops in babies. Scaly, greasy patches form on the baby’s scalp.

The patches can become thick and crusty, but cradle cap is harmless.

Cradle cap usually goes away on its own within a few months.

HOLY INNOCENTS’ 55, OUR LADY OF MERCY 0

SPORTS

Bears end regular season unbeaten

By DUNN NEUGEBAUER For The Crier The Holy Innocents’ football team ended its regular season in style Friday night at home.

In blanking Our Lady of Mercy 55-0, Coach Todd Winter got to empty his bench, nobody got hurt, and it all went down on Senior Night where the Bears honored 16 upperclassmen at halftime.

Winter was quick to get to the point at game’s end.

“I haven’t been unbeaten in regular season as a coach since 1994,” he said.

“It’s not an easy thing to do. Still, start-

ing next week it means nothing — every team is 0-0.”

There was no “0” on the board for long Friday. It took the Bears only 1:08 to put it in the end zone when Michael Cox ran in from 22 yards. Jack Felton set things up, also with a nice 22-yard carry of his own.

The Our Lade of Mercy Bobcats fumbled on the next possession, and Felton picked it out of the air at the 18yard line and ran in for another score to make it 13-0 after just over two minutes into the game.

The Bears added two more touchdowns in the quarter. Cox ran it in from the 39 after a short Bobcat punt to make

it 20-0. Later, Hunter Hawk completed a 55-yard drive with a 27-yard score.

HI tacked on 14 more in the second stanza, starting with a Matt Davis-toFelton 76-yard scoring strike to make it 24-0. Leighton Dickson got in the scoring parade with 5:50 left with a 17-yard run to put it at 41-0, a score that held until halftime.

The entire second half was running clock, though that didn’t slow down the Bears. Christian Padgett intercepted a pass at the Bobcat 23 and ran it down to the 2 to start the third quarter. Joe Hingson ran it in on the next play to make it 48-0.

Hingson added his second touch-

down a short time later, plowing in from the 10 to end the scoring at 55-0.

Standout performances included Sam Aiken, who recovered a fumble and contributed on defense. Hunter Hawk was among the tackling leaders, and William Willis contributed to the defensive performance.

Both the offensive and defensive lines excelled, as the Bears blew the visitors off the line of scrimmage consistently throughout.

Entering the playoffs, Holy Innocents will get a bye Friday before hosting the following weekend. Time, date and opponent will be determined after the first round of play.

Get Outside, Georgia

OPINION

Beware the dreaded deer!

With the arrival (at last) of fall, pretty much everybody I’ve talked to feels better about pretty much everything. Those who love exploring the outof-doors are especially delighted with this turn in the weather.

STEVE HUDSON Cooler days are great Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net news for outdoors enthusiasts. The fact is that it’s just more fun to hike, bike or fish when it’s not 120 degrees in the shade.

Of course, to enjoy the outdoors, you have to go to the outdoors. That usually means a trip in the car, where an early start can give you a whole day of outdoor adventure!

If you’re like me, you want to make those days outdoors last as long as you can. So you’ll hike or fish right up until the moment the sun drops below the hills.

That’s often exactly what I do, pushing my adventure as far as I can to take advantage of every single scrap of daylight.

But that means that I often drive home in the dark.

And that brings us to deer season.

Yes, deer season is here — but I’m not talking about hunting. I’m thinking about driving.

Deer activity peaks at this time of year. You’ll see them along trails, by creeks, out in the woods, and, often, standing on the shoulder of the road.

Sure, deer are fun to watch. But when it comes to dealing with traffic, they may not be the smartest creatures on God’s green earth. It seems that this time of year, deer are prone to dash into the nearest roadway at the drop of a hat.

And if your car happens to be coming along at the same time…

“Motorists should be alert and pay close attention to roadsides as we are nearing the annual peak time of year for deer movement,” said Charlie Killmaster, state deer biologist with DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division.

It’s happened to members of my family five (count ‘em, five) times. And it happens before you know it. There you are, riding sedately long, minding your own business, and suddenly — BAM! — a deer runs out in front of you.

Colliding with a deer is not a trivial thing. The first time I hit a deer I was going maybe 23 miles per hour. Something had told me to slow down (thank you, God!) or it might have been a lot worse.

As it was, it only totaled my truck. Yes, totaled. And it was a great truck too! I was fine, but the truck was never again to ride the backroads of Georgia.

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… and just a few weeks after it was finally paid off.

Why are vehicle-deer collisions so common this time of year? According to Georgia DNR, there are two main reasons we see more deer along roads in the fall. For one thing, it’s the time of year when deer are in love. Male deer go into what’s called “rut” and begin actively searching for mates. This behavior results in an increase in deer movement, bringing them across roadways.

In other words, when a deer’s in love, he’s not thinking about you and your car. Not to put too fine a point on it, but

he’s got other things on his mind.

Another factor is Daylight Savings Time. When we “fall back” for daylight savings time, rush hour (whether you’re coming home from work or from a day in the great outdoors) tends to fall during the same hours in which whitetailed deer are most active — dawn and dusk.

To help keep yourself safe in face of all those careless deer, Georgia DNR offers some things to keep in mind.

First, always remember deer are wild and, therefore, can be unpredictable. A deer calmly standing on the side of a road may bolt into or across the road rather than away from it when startled by a vehicle.

Also remember that one deer often means more deer.

“Keep in mind that 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. In many cases, that second deer is the one hit as the driver assumes the danger has passed and fails to slow down.”

The lesson here? Always slow down when a deer crosses the road in front of you.

Finally, be aware of the time of day.

Since deer are most active at dawn and dusk, they are most often seen along roads during the early morning and late evening, the same times you’re heading out or heading home.

What if the unthinkable happens and a deer runs in front of your car but it’s too late to avoid a collision? In that case, Georgia DNR recommends that “drivers are advised to 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.”

To learn more about deer activity this time of year, you might want to check out Georgia’s deer rut map (http://georgiawildlife.com/rut-map). It’s a useful tool that will help you be aware of peaks in deer activity.

Meanwhile, be careful out there. And watch out for those deer!

Hornets enter state playoffs after thrashing of Etowah

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

Class 7A Milton 33, North Forsyth 9 For the second straight year, Milton ran the table in Region 5-AAAAAAA and claimed the region title, the program’s first back-to-back championships. The Eagles controlled their own destiny for the region crown Friday and capped off their regular season with a 33-9 win over North Forsyth.

Milton was led by quarterback Devin Farrell who rushed for 126 yards with a touchdown and was 7-13 passing for 51 yards. Running back Ahmad Junearick compiled 108 yards rushing with a touchdown.

Jason Aussin hit a 30-yard field goal.

Junearick reeled off a 62-yard rushing score, and Christian Armistead stripped the ball on a kickoff and returned it for a touchdown to give Milton an 18-3 lead at the half.

North quarterback Brady Meitz connected with Anthony Herock midway through the third quarter to cut the lead. However, Jordan McDonald had a 3-yard touchdown run late in the third, and Farrell added a 40-yard scoring rush midway through the fourth to ice the win for Milton.

Milton will enter the playoffs as the No. 1 seed and host Central Gwinnett (2-8) in the first round. North Forsyth still nabbed the No. 2 seed with South Forsyth beating West. The Raiders will be at home against Brookwood (5-5).

Roswell 48, Etowah 14 Roswell controlled its own destiny for the Region 4-AAAAAAA title Friday night and took care of business with a 48-14 win over Etowah. The win clinched the Hornets’ second straight region crown.

Had they lost, Roswell would have fallen to the No. 4 seed.

Roswell led 14-7 before building a gap in the second half. The Hornets had two unanswered scores with a 4-yard touchdown run from Savion Mccrary and a 1-yard score from Nnamdi Orjioke early in the third quarter.

Etowah responded with a quick touchdown drive midway thorough the period, but the Hornets ran away with the win following the Eagles’ score.

Ethan Roberts connected with John Copenhaver for a 75-yard touchdown pass, and Doneiko Slaughter and Evan Plunkett returned interceptions for touchdowns to seal Roswell’s region title.

Unlike last year when Roswell hosted

the Class 7A at-large bid, the Hornets will be at home against the No. 4 seed from Region 2, Wheeler (5-5).

Class 6A Northview 42, Centennial 28 Northview secured its trip to the playoffs for the first time since 2015 Friday by taking down Centennial at home.

The winless Knights stuck with Northview through much of the game, but the Titans found separation in the second half to secure the win.

The two teams went into halftime tied at 14 before Northview’s Samuel Babadele scored on the Titans’ opening possession of the third quarter.

Centennial responded with the second touchdown connection from Jett Miller to Julian Nixon to put the score at 21-21 midway through the third.

The Titans countered with two unanswered scores, both touchdown passes from Beau Lark to Travis Buchanan, to open a 35-21 lead.

The Knights’ Richard Shaw put the margin back at one score with a 58-yard touchdown midway through the fourth, but Northview’s Marcus Godbey reeled off a 70-yard touchdown run with four minutes remaining to seal the win.

The Titans (6-4, 5-3) earned the No. 4 seed and will seek their program’s first playoff win Friday on the road against Region 5 champions Mays (9-1).

Centennial’s loss puts the Knights at 0-10 for their 2019 campaign, the program’s first winless season since 1998.

North Atlanta 42, Chattahoochee 35 Chattahoochee’s 2019 season ended Friday with the Cougars taking a close loss to playoff-bound North Atlanta on the road.

Hooch struck first in the contest, but North Atlanta put together a string of unanswered scores to lead 29-7. The Cougars added a 55-yard touchdown just before the half to put the margin at two scores at the break.

The teams exchanged scores and turnovers-on-downs before North Atlanta’s Wiley Hartley scored his sixth touchdown of the night with just over four minutes remaining to put the score at 42-21.

The Cougars did not roll over, scoring two touchdowns in 24 seconds of play to put the margin at 42-35. Hooch got the ball back again looking to complete the comeback, but North Atlanta held in their own territory to close out the game.

Hooch compiled a 3-7 overall record this year under first-year head coach

Ken Langley/SPECIAL

Despite finishing 3-7, senior Tyler Eith (19), above, scored his tenth touchdown this season, breaking the Dekalb County all-time single season record for pass receptions with 86 receptions. His 1,202 yards ranks fifth on the all-time single season yardage list.

Johns Creek 49, Dunwoody 14 Johns Creek went undefeated in Region 7-AAAAAA play for the second straight year Friday with a 49-14 win over Dunwoody at home. The Gladiators had already secured the region title

Johns Creek quarterback Ben Whitlock connected with Dalton Pearson for two touchdowns and the Gladiators opened a 28-7 lead at the half.

Football: Continued from Page 17 downs in the third quarter to cruise to the win.

The Gladiators will host Alexander (6-4) Friday in the first round of the playoffs. Johns Creek will be seeking the program’s first playoff win. Dunwoody went 3-7 overall this year and 2-6 in region play.

Class 4A Blessed Trinity 35, White County 6 With its region title secured last week with a triple-overtime win over Marist, Blessed Trinity ran the table in 7-AAAA play for the second straight year with a decisive win over White County on the road Friday night.

Elijah Green had two rushing scores in the first half, including a 61yard run, to put BT up 14-3.

Green kept the momentum going with his third rushing score to open the third quarter, and Justice Haynes added a 30-yard touchdown run to push the margin to 28-6. Midway through the fourth, Englan Williams added a touchdown.

BT (9-1, 6-0) will host Region 5’s No. 4 seed, Troup County (6-4), in the first round of the playoffs. The Titans are 8-0 in the first round of the playoffs over the last eight years.

St. Pius X 42, Stephens County 21 St. Pius X defeated Stephens

SPORTS

County 42-21 Friday night to advance to the state playoffs for the 14th straight season.

Dennis O’Shea ran for 77 yards and one touchdown and threw for another score in his second start under center for the Golden Lions (5-5, 2-2). Fullback Jack Graham ran for 102 yards and three touchdowns.

St. Pius X will travel to Ringgold to take on Heritage the No. 2 seed out of Region 6-AAAA this Friday.

Class A-Private Gordon Lee 34, Mount Pisgah 20 Mount Pisgah dropped its matchup of 3-6 teams Friday with a 34-20 loss to Gordon Lee at home.

The Patriots’ Payton Broaddus hit two field goals, but Mount Pisgah trailed 27-6 in the fourth quarter.

Coleman Smith hit Tristan Freyre for a Patriots touchdown midway through the fourth to cut the lead to 27-13.

Mount Pisgah recovered an onside kick, but Gordon Lee found the end zone to extend the margin.

Garrett Sutherland hauled in a touchdown reception for the Patriots late in the contest, but it was not enough to overcome the Trojans’ lead.

The Patriots (3-7, 3-5) entered the matchup 28th in the power ratings, four spots out of a playoff berth. With Friday’s result, Mount Pisgah is assuredly out of the playoff picture. The Patriots compiled a 3-7 overall record for the second straight year.

Davis Academy girls take Metro Atlanta conference title ATLANTA — The Davis Academy’ girls A volleyball team took home the Division 1 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference title recently. Coached by Leanne Edison, the girls’ skills, resilience, and determination earned them a record of 14-0 and their championship win against The Galloway School.

While the team’s winning streak was remarkable, what is equally as noteworthy is how the team exemplified sportsmanship and the school’s values of spirit, respect, community, wisdom and righteousness throughout their season, Edison said.

“As the season progressed, our values were evident in the athletes’ true sense of teamwork,” she said. “I could

always count on them to act as cheerleaders for one another, encouraging their teammates through all parts of the season and contributing to the team’s strength.”

Volleyball is one of the 10 sports of The Davis Academy Athletic Program.

Throughout the school year, more than 90 percent of Davis Middle Schoolers participate in at least one team sport annually, whether it be volleyball, soccer, cross country, baseball, softball, ultimate frisbee, basketball, track & field, tennis, and/or golf.
