Dunwoody considers vaping regulation By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Council heard a first read of an ordinance Nov. 18 that restricts usage of e-cigarettes, hookahs and vapes. If passed, vaping devices would be regarded in the same category as cigarettes, regardless of nicotine content, and would be prohibited from being used in the same locations that cigarettes are prohibited. “The basic intent is to keep this stuff away from our youth,” Mayor Denis Shortal said. “They like to do fads and vaping and e-cigarettes are one of the fads that’s now into the youth generation.”
The Clean Indoor Air ordinance, which was designed to prevent exposure to secondhand smoke, generally prohibits smoking in any public spaces or places of employment or within 20 feet of those buildings. Exceptions include bars, tobacco stores, adult cabarets and movie theatres, and private residences. Councilman Terry Nall asked the city attorneys to clarify language so that it is clear that medical devices, like an inhaler or humidifier, would not be prohibited. Assistant City Attorney Bill Riley said the change would be made before the next meeting. Public health concerns over vaping, or e-cigarette use, has quickly risen to
products, particularly from informal sources like friends, family, or in-person or online dealers. In addition, people should not add any substance to vaping products that contains vitamin E acetate or that is not intended by the manufacturer, including products purchased through retail establishments. E-cigarettes and other vaping devices are not safe for youth, young adults, pregnant women or adults who do not currently use tobacco products, according to the CDC. The 2018 Georgia Student Health Survey reported 12 percent of high schoolers and 4 percent of middle schoolers in Fulton County self-reported using vaping products.
become a prominent issue on a local and national level, especially with interest in curbing use among adolescents. Alpharetta, Atlanta, Cumming, Johns Creek, Milton, Forsyth County and Fulton County are among the nearby jurisdictions to curtail vape shops or ban e-cigarette use in public spaces. Across the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed more than 2,000 cases of lung illness in patients with a history of vaping. In Georgia, there have been at least nine cases, according to the Department of Public Health. The CDC recommends consumers not use THC-containing vaping

The unemployment rate is extraordinarily low … we have a great airport, an incredible music scene and movie scene, but at the same time the worst places to be born poor.” In some zip codes in Atlanta, if you’re born into poverty, there’s a 96 percent chance you’ll die in poverty, Parker said. Income inequality and a lack of economic mobility should not be Atlanta’s reputation, he argued. “What’s the number one way to get out of poverty?” Parker asked. “A job, and that’s what we do.” Goodwill accepts donations of clothes and home goods at any of its 62 retail stores, then uses the revenue for career training.

Man’s car keys stolen while eating breakfast DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police responded to an entering auto call reported Nov. 18 at a restaurant on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. A man reported he arrived at the restaurant for breakfast around 7 a.m. and noticed the keys missing when he returned to his vehicle 15 minutes later. He said he had left the keys in the ignition and the vehicle unlocked upon arrival.

Because the vehicle was parked near the dumpsters, concealed from any nearby security cameras, no footage was recovered.

Woman and teenager detained for shoplifting DUNWOODY, Ga. – Authorities responded to a shoplifting report Nov. 21 at Von Muar on Ashford Dunwoody Road. The store’s loss prevention officer had detained a woman and a female teenager suspected of theft. After reviewing security footage, it was confirmed that the suspects were seen moving throughout the store picking out clothing items before attempting to pass all points of sale and exit the store. The footage showed the women grabbing clothes, entering the fitting rooms, and exiting without any items in hand. The woman is accused of concealing items valued at $152 in a black bag while the teen hid items valued at $156 in her purse. Charges were pressed and the woman was cuffed and transported to DeKalb County Jail with no incident. The mother of the teen arrived at the scene to take custody of her daughter.

Local synagogue to host free concert for Chanukah SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Temple Emanu-El in Sandy Springs will host a concert Dec. 15 featuring a choir of singers representing eight Atlanta area synagogues and three churches. The event coincides with Chanukah, also spelled Hanukkah, the annual Jewish Festival of Lights. The free, public concert begins at 4 p.m. The choir will be accompanied by an orchestra made available by The William Baker Choral Foundation. The choir will alternately be led by Amy Thropp and Emanu-El’s Choir Conductor, Melissa Fontaine. Rounding out the cast will be soloists Jonathan Pilkington, Laurie Swann, Andrew Schmidt and Temple Emanu-El’s own Cantor Adesnik.
Goodwill: Continued from Page 1 wards of $2.5 million in donations and serves more than 7 million shoppers. There’s a perception that Goodwill shoppers are mostly low income, when actually their typical shoppers are middle-aged, middle-class women, Parker said “Our shoppers include everyone from college students who don’t want the same T-shirt they can get from any other store, to seniors who don’t want to spend a ton of money on new golf clubs, to parents of young children,” he said. “They think, ‘Why in the world am I going to go spend retail prices on this brand-new stuff when my 6-year-old is going to outgrow it in three months anyway?’”
This performance will feature selections from the 18th century oratorio “Judas Maccabeus” composed by the George Frederic Handel. An oratorio is a piece of music usually based on a biblical text. The Handel composition tells the story of Chanukah and honors the historical Judah Maccabee, who rebelled against the imposed worship of Greek gods around Jerusalem in the 2nd century BCE. Following the oratorio, the concert finale will feature traditional festive music and a rousing singalong. Attendance is free but registration is strongly encouraged at templeemanuelatlanta. shulcloud.com/event/maccabeus-andmore-concert.html.
Goodwill estimates that in 2018 it helped divert 4 billion pounds of material from landfills. Goodwill employs nearly 3,000 people, and by the end of the year will have helped 26,000 people find jobs in 2019, many of them veterans, former inmates and people with disabilities. “We accept any person who comes through the door asking for help,” Parker said. “The only thing we don’t do is try to motivate people to work. You have to have the motivation to want to work yourself, everything else we’ll help you with.” Parker said Goodwill isn’t slowing down, it plans to open dozens of new stores and help 130,000 people find jobs in the next five years. “Please continue to donate and donate to Goodwill,” Parker said. “It turns into workforce development opportunities for others.”

Where in the World? Dunwoody Rotary hosts Basketball Skills Day Dunwoody Rotarians recently partnered with college students from Georgia State University Perimeter Campus to help Sequoyah Middle School host Basketball Skills Day for more than 150 DeKalb County special needs students. The partnership turned out to be a “Big Win” for all who participated. Rotarian volunteers Rick Otness, Ray Huebschmann, Bob O’Brien, Darrin Vanderpan, Fred Brandt, Ed Holliday, Erica Brown and Kathy Brandt served as team leaders, focused on overseeing the Special Olympics basketball competition taking place at each of six basketball goals in the Sequoyah gym. With the added fire power of GSU student volunteers, the volunteer teams officiated at the basketball competition for students
representing 10 middle schools. Thanks to the recruiting efforts of Rotarian Ray Huebschmann, a GSU psychology professor, the college student turnout was truly amazing, with 29 enthusiastic GSU students participating. The day began with a Sequoyah student leading the group in the Pledge of Allegiance and another leading the athletes in Special Olympics Athletes Oath. The middle school students experienced a fun-filled and challenging competition, as the team scores ebbed and flowed, with winning teams being awarded red, blue and yellow ribbons amid the cheers. All volunteers had the opportunity to create an excellent and fair competitive environment that helped players and teams to strive for, accomplish, and, in some cases, exceed their wildest expectations.

Georgia Trustees holds 5th annual Wine and Spirits Challenge Spirits industry growing throughout Peach State
Wine and Spirits Challenge View the list of award winners from the fifth annual Georgia Wine and Spirits Challenge online at northfulton.com.
By ADAM DARBY adam@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The Georgia Trustees celebrated the state’s best in wine and spirits recently at the fifth annual Wine and Spirits Challenge at the Metropolitan Club in Alpharetta. The formal awards banquet recognized the industry’s top producers and vintners. Roughly 130 residents attended the gala anticipating a taste from some of Georgia’s top wine manufacturers. Seven of the state’s 19 distilleries submitted entries. Jane Garvey, a member of the Board of Directors for the Georgia Trustees and co-founder of the event, said she is consistently surprised by what is being accomplished in Georgia’s growing wine industry. “We added cider and mead a couple of years ago, and this year we added spirits…the economic multiplier from those enterprises is terrific,” said Garvey. “Certainly [surprised by] the growth in quality. The discovery that we can grow varieties that we didn’t think we could grow…”
According to the National Association of American Wineries, Georgia’s wineries generated $88 million in annual tourism expenses in 2017 and contributed a whopping $4.1 billion to the economy through its related industries. Since the early 2000s, the wine industry has seen a massive shift in profit and productivity. “It’s growing leaps and bounds. There are new wineries popping up monthly,” said Charles Cowart, owner of Still Pond Vineyard and Distillers in Arlington. “When we opened our winery in 2003, we were the only winery south of Atlanta. Now I think there were 27 to 28 wineries in the state at that time. We’re coming close to a hundred wineries now. It’s growing…we’re seeing a big upsurge in alcohol production within the state.” Following a reception and dinner, guests at the event sat for the awards announcements.
Kick off the Holidays at City Springs with the First Annual Sparkle Parade Experience music and entertainment as the parade winds through City Springs. Feel the magic when Santa lights up the Christmas Tree. Sip hot chocolate as you stroll through the holiday sparkle village painted by local artists. Parade steps off at 5:30 p.m.

Historic documents shed light on New Hope Cemetery Dunwoody’s historic New Hope Cemetery is somewhat hidden behind KinderCare Learning Center and next door to the offices of Arrow Exterminators and Coldwell Banker on Chamblee Dunwoody Road. VALERIE The cemetery BIGGERSTAFF is the final resting place for many early settlers. A recent donation of New Hope Cemetery documents to Dunwoody Preservation Trust, in memory of Gene Allen Craven, is historically significant. Eileen Ott, widow of Gene Allen Craven, brought the archive to Dunwoody Preservation Trust. The documents include two
deeds from 1884, one from Georgia Duke and one from Washington Houston, the original donors of the land to be used as a cemetery. New Hope Presbyterian Reform Church sat in front of the cemetery. In 1923, the property where the church was located was sold to Nance’s Creek Primitive Baptist Church, and New Hope became a Primitive Baptist Church. Eight years later, the Baptist church closed its doors and the building and land were sold to Dwight Kirby. The archive also includes a plat of the cemetery, photographs and newspaper articles about a major cleanup of the cemetery that took place in 1983. Fortynine people worked together to accomplish the clean-up and 11 dump trucks of debris were removed. A group of trustees for the cemetery
was established which included Gene Allen Craven. Other trustees named were Hugh Spruill, Paul B. Manning, Max Kirby, Henry Donaldson and Clarence Warbington. (DeKalb News Sun, “We Think It’s Important,” Vivian Price, 8/17/1983) Gene Craven’s wife Oneedus Warbington Craven and Geraldine Warbington were among those who worked on the cemetery cleanup. There are several Warbingtons laid to rest at New Hope Cemetery. Oneedus Craven passed away in 1996. Gene Allen Craven was born in 1928 in Yonah, Ga. He enlisted in the Navy at the young age of 16 in early 1945 and served in the Pacific Theater. He was aboard the USS William A. Mann, a troop transport ship. Craven continued to serve in the Navy through 1949. Craven was on the USS William A. Mann in 1949 when Mao Zedong proclaimed the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. Chiang Kai-Shek, leader of the Chinese Nationalist government, his family and the last Marine battalion were brought out of China to safety in Taiwan aboard the USS William A. Mann. Eileen Ott shared one of Craven’s memories from being on board the Mann. One evening he met and talked with Adm.Elmo Zumwalt and his dog
Kate. The next morning, the admiral scuffed Craven’s shoes during review, a silent acknowledgement of their meeting the previous night. Zumwalt would later become Chief of Naval Operations. Allen Craven started his own business, Craven Drywall, and worked on many of Dunwoody’s homes. He ran Craven Drywall for 40 years in Dunwoody, the Atlanta area, and throughout Georgia. When the 1998 tornado came through Dunwoody, Allen Craven was living along Womack Road adjacent to Dunwoody High School. He was out helping others remove trees and debris caused by the tornado when he met Eileen Ott who lived in Lockridge Forest off Winters Chapel Road at the time. They married and moved to Monticello, Ga., and began Timbuktu Farms, growing heirloom corn and vegetables. Craven also loved grafting and growing heirloom fruit trees. He saved an heirloom apple from extinction, which is now known as the Craven Red Crab Apple. The box of New Hope Cemetery deeds and other documents will be stored in the Archives Room of Dunwoody Preservation Trust, located at Donaldson-Bannister Farm. These important New Hope Cemetery documents are a wonderful addition to the archives.

The Investment Coach
View from a market top On Friday, Nov. 16, 2019, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a record high of 28004.89, the 11th new “record high milestone” in The sumLewis J. Walker, CFP 2019. mit was reached driven by a buying surge in the last few minutes of the trading day. When you see dramatic jumps or drops just before the closing bell, it’s not mom and pop investors, it’s machines, computer programmed trading, trying to get ahead of the close and the next open. The S&P 500 Index also closed at a record high on Nov. 16, as did the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite. What now? How do you view another record high, year-end 2019, and the outlook for 2020? Several times this year, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note dipped below the yield on 3-month paper. Mr. Market worried about “inversion,” an abnormal situation when yields
on longer-term Treasury paper drop below shorter-term yields. Often, yield inversion is perceived as signaling a potential recession. Yields on the 10-year note rebounded above 3-month yields in late October, viewed as a positive sign for the economy. Boom! A multi-week market winning streak! Consumers are in a cheerful mood, and retail sales rebounded in October compared to September. Christmas decorations already festoon local malls, and the holiday shopping outlook is positive. The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s three interest rate cuts this year add to the rosy outlook. A year ago the Fed was raising interest rates, resulting in poor market performance in 4th quarter, 2018. Part of 2019’s performance includes a recovery from last year’s end-ofthe-year “lump of coal in your stocking” dive. The average investor still remains wary of a drop, remembering last year as well as 2007-2008. One bullish sign appears to be the lack of bullishness among individual investors. They know the machines can reverse course quicker than they can! How should you view the market spurt? If you have 10- to 15-years before
retirement, use market dips to add to equity holdings. If you’re nearing retirement or are retired and dependent on your stock portfolio for retirement cash flow, to some degree or substantially, have a 3- t0 5-year “paycheck fund” in federally insured money market accounts and other low-volatility assets. For taxable allocations, consider a mutual fund or separately managed municipal bond account, normally a minimum investment of $125,000 or more, where the portfolio can focus on state-specific holdings to reduce state income tax liabilities. The fact that rapid fire market highs have occurred during the impeachment hearings indicate that Mr. Market isn’t concerned yet with political noise on MSNBC or other news outlets. When it comes to talking heads and market strategies, consider Jon Stewart’s sage advice: “If I’d only followed CNBC’s advice, I’d have a million dollars today. Provided I’d started with a hundred million dollars.” Have sufficient safe money and potentially low-volatility reserves to provide a buffer and peace of mind, because the market will always be volatile, just as periodic earth tremors will continue to bedevil Californians who never really know when the “big one” will hit. As the storied money manager, Peter Lynch advised, “More money has been lost trying to anticipate and protect from corrections than actually in them.” Start now with year-end “to do’s,” including 4th quarter tax planning. Do you have capital gains you wish to use to offset loss carry forwards? If you are age 70 ½ or older with money in a
qualified IRA, or you’re a beneficiary of a Inherited IRA, have you completed your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for 2019? IRA owners 70 ½ or older may make tax-free donations to eligible charities, including houses of worship. For example, you could direct all or a portion of your RMD to charity and avoid taking the amount into 2019 taxable income. You must complete the transaction by 12/31. This can be attractive if you don’t have sufficient tax deductions to get above the newly expanded standard deduction.

The INK PENN
Girls trips are good for the soul Most years, I take several girls’ trips, but this year, time got away from me. I visited Black Mountain in January with friends from my teaching days, but I’ve been in a drought since then. KATHY That’s why when MANOS PENN my sister and I planned an October trip to see my aunt and cousins in Virginia, I had to tag on a trip with a girlfriend who lives nearby. After my sister flew home, I stayed on to connect with my friend Stephie. We two travel well together; we had lots of practice sharing a room for four nights a week when we facilitated leadership classes in our corporate days. My husband says he knows when
OPINION I’m with Stephie because I never stop laughing. Good for the soul, I’d say. We fill our days with catching up, shopping, walking, reading, wining and dining, and the occasional bicycle ride. Rain or shine, we have fun by adjusting our selection of activities. Day one, we drove to the Eastern Shore. On previous girls’ and couples’ trips, we’d spent time in Wintergreen in the Virginia mountains, Williamsburg and Nags Head. A repeat of any of those would have been just as much fun, but we chose to explore somewhere new to both of us. We stayed three nights in Cape Charles in a room overlooking the Chesapeake Bay and arrived in time for lunch at the Cape Charles Coffee House on the first day. With time to kill before checkin, guess what we did? We shopped, of course. We wandered in and out of a few boutiques, and I came home with a birthday gift for my sister and earrings and a top for myself. By then, it was check-in time at The Northampton Hotel where we had a cozy room and a porch complete with a chair swing. We had mild temperatures, so we opened a bottle of wine and enjoyed cocktail hour on our porch before heading to the Shanty for a seafood dinner. The oysters were amazing, as were the scallops I ordered. In fact, the oysters were so good, we had to return for another round for our final lunch.
TheCrier.net | Dunwoody Crier | December 5, 2019 | 11
Day two, we drove north to Onancock where we admired the quaint architecture and did a bit more shopping. A stop at The Cape Charles Brewery for lunch and a beer paved the way for a nap before dinner at The Hook at Harvey, another seafood restaurant overlooking the bay. Day three dawned clear and crisp, perfect for a brisk walk to breakfast at Rayfield Pharmacy which was like a step back in time to the lunch counter at Woolworth’s. On the walk back, we couldn’t resist a stop at Peach Street Books, an independent bookshop housed in a refurbished gas station. The way they categorized their books was unique, and I was enchanted with two sections titled “For Writers” and “About Writers.” Arms filled with books, we returned to the hotel not to read, but to ride bikes. Since they were beach cruisers, we felt fortunate that our ride was flat with the exception of the small bridge we
had to cross to return to the Shanty for oysters for lunch. Close to sunset, we climbed the narrow stairs to the widow’s walk at our hotel and then drank wine on the porch. Dinner was at The Oyster Farm at Kings Creek. The last morning, we combined breakfast with books by returning to Peach Street Books for bagels and coffee before it was time to head home. Another perfect trip is in the books, and I’m already thinking of what we’ll do next year. Kathy is a Sandy Springs resident.

5 home décor tips for the holidays Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty
can use these plants to decorate fireplace mantels, staircases and, for thicker evergreens, vases.
The holiday season is one full of joy, gatherings and celebrations. Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ annual 2019 Home for the HoliRawlings days Designer Showhouse and Marketplace was full of fantastic tips and trends from leading industry professionals to make your home fashionable and convivial. If the season inspires you to bring festive spirit into your home, these five home décor tips, influenced by the showcase, are sure to create a cozy space for hosting guests or simply enjoying your living areas. Fragrant Greenery Traditional holiday palettes include a rich green that are typically displayed in the form of garland and trees. Use real eucalyptus and evergreens to fill your space with a fresh, subtle aroma and to offer a vision of simple beauty. You
Understated Color Palettes and Vignettes The simplification of colors and vignettes has been a widespread go-to for holiday decorating. Many designers have been drawn to light pastels, teals, Kelly Green and Tiffany Blue®, rather than the traditional combo of red and green. For vignettes, a subtle holiday feeling can be created by adding dainty floral arrangements of white flowers, greenery and delicate ribbons to unexpected places, such as side tables, guest bathrooms and powder rooms. Black Christmas Trees One of the largest and most popular trends in holiday décor this year has been adding the glamorous, dramatic black Christmas tree. These trees are well-liked for their beauty and for being neutral enough to add cohesion to your décor scheme. A social media craze, you can find inspiration for your black Christmas tree on Instagram and Facebook.
Seniors have many options when downsizing Making the decision to move can be difficult. Many seniors would prefer to “Age in Place,” but this is not always possible. Even if the current home is adapted to provide convenience and needed safety, many seniors need additional care and unique facilities. The type of housing that is appropriate if a move is needed includes: • Retirement of Age-Restricted Communities • Assisted Living Arrangements GRIFFIN • Nursing Homes • Continuing Care Retirement Communities Each of these options have their features and benefits. Many Seniors may wish to live with family members, but this not always possible. Call us for a copy of “Moving On” a printed booklet explaining the differences in the living options listed above.

The Gorgeous Kitchen How did this happen! I bought this house in the 1980’s or 1990’s because it had a desk in the kitchen, two level breakfast bar with Corian counters, garbage compactor, soffits above the cabinets and it was completely separated from the den. What’s changed? North Atlanta came of age in the 80’s and 90’s; thousands of homes were built with all the above features, so if this sounds like your kitchen, you’re not alone. But now it’s time for you to join the North Atlanta Renovation Evolution. Your home has doubled in value and you now live in arguably the most desirable Atlanta suburb with the best schools. Homeowners are joining this Renovation Evolution and further increasing the value of their homes. The kitchen is starting point for this Evolution. The kitchen is no longer just the place for food preparation; it’s now the social and lifestyle hub of the family and the kitchen has adapted to suite its present function. Style has never been more important within the kitchen but the features and configuration have changed. Here’s what’s changed in the 2019 kitchen. Openness is The Standard. “Removing the kitchen/den wall is included in over 80% of kitchen remodels”, comments John Hogan, owner of Remodeling Expo Center in Roswell. The kitchen is the family hub and it just can’t be separated from the family room. “Connectivity” is the new design theme in kitchen design. The common formula is to add the new large island exactly where the wall was removed. Single Level Islands/Peninsulas. A single level island or peninsula dramatically increases its functionality. The island has turned into a multi-functional surface; eating area, buffet for entertaining, homework area, etc. Plus, with advent of gorgeous countertops, a single level emphasizes the beautiful characteristics better.
Quartz or Granite. These are the absolute standards. Don’t consider anything but these options. Whether for style, aesthetics, function or durability; an updated kitchen must have granite or quartz. Stay away from complicated edges, like ogee, and keep is simple. Cooktop On the Wall. “We’re moving the cooktop to a wall location and creating magnificent tile focal points on many of our kitchens” says Remodeling Expo Center’s, John Hogan. “Moving the cooktop to the wall or moving the microwave from above the cooktop, each of these design strategies yields gorgeous kitchens. Smart Storage. Sometimes enlarging the kitchen isn’t possible, or sometimes as a component of expanding the kitchen, smart storage options is always a component of the remodel. Spice racks, Keurig inserts, roll-out drawers and hidden appliance options are all surprisingly common features of 2019 kitchens. Lighting. More light sources create less shadows and more comfortable ambient lighting feel. Remodeling Expo Center emphasizes the use of clear light, LED technology which reflects off counters and backsplash and contributes to truly gorgeous kitchens. The Total Kitchen. Bringing all of these elements together is what makes truly gorgeous kitchens and they don’t need to be ultra expensive; they just need to be well planned. The more time you spend on planning, the better the kitchen will turn out. John Hogan is the co-owner of Remodeling Expo Center (404-910-3969) which covers all of north Atlanta. The company specializes in helping homeowners visualize kitchen transformations using 3D renderings and personalized service. They have an extensive Design Center at 48 King Street in Roswell which is open to the public.

Golden Bears roar into state Final Four By DUNN NEUGEBAUER For The Crier ATLANTA — For the first time since Holy Innocents’ began its varsity football program in 2005, the Golden Bears are off to the football Final Four. Holy Innocents’ — now 12-0 — advanced by shutting out Cinderella squad Mount Paran 28-0 Friday night at Riverwood. The 12th season victory is also an HI record. The team is hoping for a lucky 13th win Friday when they face off against defending state champ Eagles Landing Christian Academy, a team the Bears beat 42-41 in overtime midway through this season. Eagles Landing advanced Friday with a win over Athens Academy. “The state championship game is the front door; we are on the porch,” head coach Todd Winter said. “I’m proud of the kids tonight. We played the game with heavy pads and we didn’t get intimidated. As for next week, we knew along we’d see ELCA again. I’m excited, we’re excited, and I’m sure they’re excited.” The Bears scored a touchdown in every quarter Friday, though the game started slowly, with both teams having two three-and-outs each. On HI’s third possession, however, and while the Eagles were keying on the run, Bear quarterback Matt Davis dropped back and hit Landon Kardian for a 55-yard touchdown pass. It appeared HI was in trouble after Mount Paran’s punter pinned the Bears inside their own 1-yard-line. On the first play, however, Michael Cox went off left
tackle and raced for 99 yards to give the Bears a 14-0 lead, a score that held until intermission. Holy Innocents’ scored on its first possession of the third quarter as well, after holding the Eagles to one first down before they were forced to punt. This time the Bears did what a good triple option team does — slowly but surely pound out yardage, moving the ball, the chains, and the clock. The drive ended with Davis scampering for a 29-yard scoring run off tackle to make it 21-0. In the final period, it was Jack Felton who got it into the end zone, racing in from 26 yards to finish off a 60-yard march. Felton began his night in the opening period on the defensive end, picking off an Eagle pass. The Bears had a chance to add to the lead late but took a knee inside the Mount Paran 5-yard line to end the game and the scoring. Bears punter Marshall Nichols averaged more than 50 yards per punt — two of them traveling 57 and 58 yards. Besides Felton, Kardian also picked off a pass to go with his two key receptions. Hunter Hawk, Sam Aiken, Spencer Goetz, Moreland Bell and Donovan Johnson were also key on defense. Again, the Bears excelled at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. The win ended Mount Paran’s two postseason upsets in a row. The Eagles knocked off Aquinas in the opening round and followed by topping Darlington in the Sweet 16 despite being 32-point underdogs.

Season ends for Marist with Elite 8 loss The 2019 season ended for Marist at Oconee County Friday night when the War Eagles fell to the Warriors 17-7 in the third round of the AAAA State Playoffs. Marist began the game with a long kickoff return that got the offense started at the Warrior 35-yard line. However, a fourth down stop by the Oconee County defense stifled a promising start that ultimately took 8 minutes off the clock in the first quarter. The Warriors moved the ball back to midfield before Marist forced a punt. Then, starting at their own 20yard line, Marist quarterback Connor Cigelske threw an interception on the last play of the quarter giving the Warriors excellent field position deep in Marist territory. It took only three plays for the Warriors to score when quarterback Max Johnson connected on a pass to older brother Jake Johnson for a 5-yard score and a 7-0 lead. The remainder of the half saw both defenses take control. The Warriors attempted a 30-yard field goal on their last possession of the half, but it was blocked, making the score 7-0 at the break. Marist forced Oconee County to punt on their first drive of the second half, then drove 83 yards on seven plays, including a 52-yard strike
from Cigelske to sophomore Chandler Heath, to knot the game at 7-7. Oconee County responded on their next possession, driving 79-yards with the Johnson brothers again connecting on a 33-yard pass play to take a 14-7 lead at the start of the final period. The Warriors forced Marist to punt on their next possession, but a short kick put Oconee County at midfield, and they marched down the field to the Marist 3-yard line. The War Eagle defense held them out of the end zone, but kicker Ben Johnson connected on a 20-yard field goal with just over 2 minutes remaining for a 17-7 lead. The War Eagles were forced to throw the ball to move down the field quickly, but Oconee County picked off a Cigelske pass, ending any hope of a late comeback at Warrior Field Stadium. The story of the game was that the defenses. The War Eagles were held to just 90-yards rushing and the Warriors’ only 52-yards. For the War Eagles, Cigleske came into the game averaging 170 yards per game on the ground in the postseason and was held to 43-yards on 17 carries. However, the Warrior’s passing attack made the difference as they threw for 213-yards
