CITY OF DUNWOODY/PROVIDED le Circ

DUNWOODY, Ga. – A group of residents whose homes lie near a proposed park on Roberts Drive stand opposed to some of the elements planned for its build-out – especially the installation of a softball field. Darby Christopher, who lives on Holly Bank Circle next to the proposed 10-acre park, said the neighbors do not want a softball field on the property. The land is the former site of Austin Elementary School. “Beauty, imagination and serenity are all available now at the park. These are all human needs and human values that tend to get overlooked and undervalued,” Christopher said. “It doesn’t make sense to serve the interests of a few (girls’ softball) in this particular space at the expense of the many.” Darby said neighbors are particularly concerned about the impact of installing lights on the field and the additional traffic that a softball field would bring to the neighborhood. “We are concerned about lighting and parking and how it will affect our community,” Christopher said. “We believe that the uses that are being proposed will turn it from a ‘community’ park into a ‘commuter’ park.” Christopher said her neighbors have had a series of meetings regarding the proposed amenities at the park and are against any kind of softball fields there. Dunwoody Parks and Recreation Department officials have been soliciting feedback for several months regarding the Roberts Drive parcel and another recently purchased 9-acre plot on Vermack Road. The former school site plans had two possible scenarios – one with two softball fields and another with one. After gathering feedback at a fall session and one held Dec. 6, modifications were made, according to the city’s website. The latest changes include: • The parking areas were consolidated to form one 128-stall lot; • The basketball courts were reduced to two half-courts; • The walking loop/nature trail was realigned to provide a 0.41mile path around the site. A direct connection was provided to the path that connects to the Withmere neighborhood. Residents of the neighborhood would have a streamlined walking route to Roberts Drive. • The ingress/egress for cars was modified to provide a main, two-way entrance at the existing signalized intersection on Rob-

The plan also added a vehicular drop-off along the park’s main entrance; • The sports fields were consolidated into one adult softball field and batting cages were added. In a statement to the Crier, Dunwoody Parks and Recreation Director Brent Walker said the department is continuing to solicit feedback regarding the park’s final look. “The master planning process for the parks on Roberts Drive and Vermack Road is working as we hoped by engaging residents from across the city,” Walker said. “We heard important input during our open house on Dec. 6, and we continue to gather feedback through our interactive map online.” Walker called the plans “a work in progress” and added that “across our park system, we have a deficiency in athletic facilities for a variety of sports. As we plan our parks and programs, our goal is to address those deficiencies while taking into consideration the needs and desires of all our residents.” Darby said the neighbors are comfortable with the park the way it is – with open space for free play, rather than organized

DUNWOODY, Ga. — New federal infrastructure legislation will deliver about $10 billion to Georgia for road repair, bridge construction and expanded internet access. President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on Nov. 15 after the bill navigated Congress with bipartisan support. The bill introduces funding for water pipe repairs and mass transit, issues that often fall under city and county authority. Local governments continue to consider the impact within their jurisdictions. “The city is still awaiting final rules and distribution methods to be released, but expects funding to be able to expedite already planned projects for which funding is not currently available,” Dunwoody Assistant City Manager J. Jay Vinicki said. Brookhaven, which borders Dunwoody south of Perimeter Mall, is in a similar position. “Staff is currently reviewing 11

Police called to dispute over merchandise return DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police responded to a civil dispute between a customer and a store worker at the Best Buy along Hammond Drive on Nov. 30. According to one of the employees, the customer became irate and aggressive with her when she denied him a refund for a $50 gift card. The man tried to return an Oculus virtual reality set and the woman processed the return. She said she had to adjust the final amount to account for a $50 rebate the man received when he initially purchased the video game. The man became aggressive with the sales clerk over that rebate, the clerk told police. Police said surveillance footage showed him pacing back and forth and

light pole at its base, bringing down power lines across all lanes of the exit ramp and across the intersection. Power outages were reported on Hammond and Lake Hearn drives, and the surrounding area, according to police. No one was injured.
DUNWOODY, Ga. — Ashford Dunwoody Road was closed for several hours near I-285 after a vehicle crashed into a light pole and caused power lines to fall early Dec. 2. Several police, fire crews, Georgia Power crews and road maintenance workers were called to the scene of the crash, which caused delays for hours and forced traffic at the busy intersection to be rerouted during the morning commute. Police say the car exited I-285 eastbound and struck the light pole at the exit ramp on Ashford Dunwoody Road. The impact of the collision snapped the
chased three broken televisions near Perimeter Mall. The victim said he found a salesman hawking the TVs on Facebook Marketplace. The suspect set up shop to meet with customers at the parking lot across from Macy’s and Chick-fil-A along Hammond Drive. The victim said he met with the salesman there Nov. 24 and bought three TVs for $1,600. When he got home, he realized none of the televisions were in working condition, he told officers. The victim showed police photos of a white, two-door pickup truck the salesman was driving as well as a box truck that trailed him.
mission or Georgia Department of Transportation District 7 communications officer responded to comment requests. GDOT said in a statement last month that focus remains on existing transportation programs, carbon reduction formula funding and studies for environmental streamlining and national mileage-based user fees. Focus is also on a $135 million electric vehicle charging program along with a $225 million program addressing bridges. “It is anticipated that through various formula funds, we should expect to see around 20-23% increases in funding,” GDOT said in its statement. “Transit programs for Georgia will see 30% or more increases over current
funding levels.” Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Marietta) supported the law and said it was the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system. According to the 2019 Infrastructure Report Card, Georgia received a C+ grade for roads and bridges and a D+ for transit. “This monumental bill invests in one of the things families in the metroAtlanta area need most: roads that make it quicker and safer to get to work,” McBath said. “We’ve made infrastructure one of our top priorities because it’s about safety, it’s about efficiency, and it’s about providing Americans with roadways and highways that connect them to their everyday lives.”

Dunwoody Garden Club never seems to take break
You probably thought the Garden Club spent all its time on gardening projects, but I’ve learned that members manage to squeeze in a few other activities. In November, for example, they collected KATHY over 650 pounds of MANOS PENN food to donate to the Community Action Center, but they didn’t stop there. In early December, they went on to donate over $1,000 worth of children’s holiday gifts to the City of Dunwoody Police Department’s Annual Christmas for Kids event. According to President Allison Metheny, the club has been looking for ways to broaden its projects beyond “digging in the dirt.” That search led to a new activity for 2021 — making holiday decorations. Since they rarely do anything on a small scale, the group decided to make enough wreaths, swags and
dried flower arrangements to decorate five assisted living homes plus the Dunwoody Nature Center. While they were at it, they made a few extras for some homebound garden club members. “It was a lot of work and a lot of fun, and we hope the decorations bring joy to those who see them,” Allison said. She hopes it will become an annual project for the Garden Club. Yes, much of their time is devoted to activities that benefit the community, but they do occasionally find time for pure fun. In that spirit, they took two field trips this fall — a stroll along the Chattahoochee River in September and a guided tour of Oakland Cemetery in October. I had to laugh when I heard they had lunch at Six Feet Under, a restaurant across the street from the cemetery. Soon, they’ll begin preparing for their next big event, their annual fundraiser — the Bridge/Card Party, luncheon, fashion show and silent auction planned for Feb. 22, 2022, at the Dunwoody Methodist

OPINION
The meaning behind the season Media headlines pre- and postThanksgiving focused on myriad shortages and rising prices, costs for everything from turkeys to gas. Even Christmas trees were LEWIS J. WALKER, CFP in shorter supply and costlier compared to prior years. But there was good news. Airline passenger counts surged for the Thanksgiving holiday as family gatherings were in vogue after pandemic-induced separations. Family matters! The four weeks of Advent began on Sunday, Nov. 28 as Christians focused on the Holy Family and the meaning of Christmas. Advent embraces hope and expectations reflected in the birth of Jesus. It’s about joy, prayer, penance, giving to and caring about others, welcoming. The Jewish celebration of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, took place from Nov. 28 to Dec. 6. Hanukkah is the Hebrew word for “dedication,” and the holiday commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century B.C. This occurred during a time when Israel was struggling for existence and some things were in short supply. The community was concerned as they only had enough oil to light the menorah for one day. Miraculously, the oil lasted eight days. In the holiday and spiritual season of 2021, as we worry about shortages, costs of goods and services, virus mutations, political divisions and rancor, and other challenges besetting individuals and society, what really is important? Where do the spiritual messages of Hanukkah, Advent, and Christmas play into our contemplations and futurefocused resolutions? A Nov. 16, 2021, report from Pew Research Center offered data from 19,000 adults surveyed across 17 advanced economies. Entitled “What Makes Life Meaningful,” the report noted that “Americans are much more likely to mention religion as a source of meaning in life than other publics.” In order of one to five, Americans rated family, friends, material well-being, occupation (work), and faith as their top sources of meaning. No other economy surveyed ranked “faith” anywhere near a significant focus. Noted Pew, “The topic of faith, religion and spirituality is one where some societies notably differ. Outside of the U.S., religion is never one of the top 10 sources of meaning cited ─ and no more
than 5% of any non-American public mention it. In the U.S., however, 15% mention religion or God as a source of meaning, making it the fifth most mentioned topic.” When Pew, by median percentage across all 17 advanced countries, classified what gives individuals meaning, “family and children” garnered 38% for the #1 factor. Occupation and career was second at 25%, followed by material well-being, 19%; friends and community, 18%; physical and mental health, 17%. Only 4% noted a “romantic partner.” [There goes Valentine’s Day!] A scant 2% mentioned “retirement” as a source of meaning. However, retirement happiness and fulfillment without close ties to family and offspring, or material well-being and/or physical and mental health, is a challenge. Building strength in family relationships along with fiscal and physical fitness is foundational to a contented retirement. The fact that “occupation and career” ranked No. 2 tells you that having a post-career plan for meaning and purpose beyond work is endemic to happiness. Many key executives, professionals, and closely held business owners whose life is wrapped up in their business have said that “running out of money” in retirement is not their number one concern, it’s boredom. My friend and author of many books on successful retirement, Mitch Anthony, wisely advises, “You have to have enough money so you can sleep well at night, but you also must have a purpose to wake up to in the morning.” The lessons of Hanukkah, Advent and Christmas underscore meaning and purpose. We are reminded of higher callings beyond our earthly sojourn which is a “blink of an eye” in terms of eternity. For those who celebrate the traditional religious holidays of December, meaning and purpose transcend self. Strong religious underpinnings help one to deal with the slings and arrows that complicate life and aging. That the United States ranked “faith” in the top five of things that make things meaningful in my opinion offers hope for the health of our republic.Pray that God will continue to bless America.

OBITUARY Edward Christian Rogge died peacefully November 23, 2021 at his home in Ridgeland, MS. Ed was born in Summerville, South Carolina on May 13, 1930 to Ruth and Edward Rogge. He grew up in Summerville where he acquired his unique Southern accent and his love for beautiful gardens of azaleas, camellias, magnolias and dogwoods. All throughout his life he loved to visit his hometown of SumROGGE merville and Charleston and the coastal islands nearby. Ed attended the Adventure School in Summerville. He then went to Clemson University for a year before joining the Air Force and serving in Korea. He returned to South Carolina and graduated from the University of South Carolina. He worked for U.S. Public Health Service as a Public Health Advisor and moved to Jackson, MS in 1963. There he met his wife, Helen, and her three children, Jerry, Kay, and Joe all of whom he cherished. He loved to tell that they had lived in Albany, NY; Columbia, SC; Charlottesville VA, and Durham, NC all in 6 years. In 1968 their daughter, Ruth, was born and she was a joy in his life. Ed attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received his Master’s in Public Health Administration. His career settled them in Atlanta in 1971 where they lived for 46 years. He retired from US Public Health in 1986. Ed loved to fish with friends at Kingsley lake behind their home in Dunwoody, GA. He enjoyed hunting quail, dove, and ducks with his beloved Brittany Spaniels. While living in Atlanta Ed and Helen were longtime members of St. Martin in the Field’s Episcopal Church. Quite possibly Ed’s greatest passion was Clemson
football. Cheering for the Tigers and attending games all over the country was his favorite past time. Ed and Helen and their family spent many years at Kiawah Island, South Carolina where he taught his grandchildren to fish, shrimp and crab in the local ponds and on the Kiawah river. He took much pleasure in reading and shared his interest in history with his grandchildren. In 2017 they moved to Ridgeland, MS to live near their daughter and son in law, Ruth and Spence Fletcher. He was a member of St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Jackson, MS. Ed is preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Danny Rogge, and his son, Jerry Tiblier. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Helen; his daughter in law Linda Tiblier of Orlando, Fl; his daughter Kay Harvard (Lee) of Live Oak, FL; his son Joe Tiblier (Mary Beth) of York, SC; and his daughter, Ruth Fletcher (Spence) of Ridgeland, MS; grandchildren Wilder Harvard (Natalie) of New York, NY; Leigh Barry Harvard of Los Angeles, CA; Trey Tiblier (Alicia) of Orlando, FL; Christian Tiblier (Liv ) of Orlando, FL; Davis Tiblier (Miranda) of Ft. Worth, TX; Andrew Tiblier (Kelly) of York, SC; Phillip Tiblier of Denver, CO, Michael Tiblier of Soeul, Korea, Walker Fletcher of Nashville, TN; Daniel Fletcher of Dallas, TX, and Blake Fletcher of Ridgeland, MS. He is also survived by his sister in law, Jean Rogge of Summerville, SC and his nephew Dan Rogge of Charleston, SC. Services will be held on Thursday, January 6 at 11:00 at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral in Jackson, MS. A private family committal will be held at at later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Ed’s name to The Dorchester Free School Board at P.O. Box 2045 Summerville, SC 29484 and The Dorchester Heritage Center, Attn: Claire Mizell, Director, 101 Ridge Street, St. George, SC 29477.
Elementary: Continued from Page 1 activities. “We need to think back to when we were kids and how we felt walking out onto an open field, how our imagination was engaged, and suddenly we wanted to run and jump and play,” she said. “We will trade beauty and serenity for traffic, a chain link fence around a softball field and night lights.” City officials have said that the Roberts Drive land would be developed sooner than the Vermack property, and several council members have expressed support for a parks bond to fast-track its development. Dunwoody citizens would have to approve the bond in a referendum. Changes have also been made to the proposed Vermack Road land, including: • Repositioning the tennis/pickleball courts; • Eliminating junior/senior league softball field, which has been replaced with an open play field to allow for picnicking and general uses such as pick-up games; • Consolidating the older and younger children’s playgrounds into one contiguous playground area; • Reducing the size of the splash pad to 50 feet in diameter; • Adding a restroom near the entry plaza and realigning the concession stand to be adjacent to the softball field; • The plazas were consolidated into one entry plaza. Residents can continue to offer feedback about the proposed parks on the city’s website, dunwoodyga. gov/government/projects/park-construction.

PAST TENSE
OPINION
Memories of December 7, 1941 — 80 years later In December of 1941, Dr. Howard Cotton was 12 years old and living in Arlington Heights, Massachusetts. He had recently become interested in the military, cutting photographs out of his parents’ Life magaVALERIE zines for a scrapbook. BIGGERSTAFF He was working on the scrapbook when his family heard the news on the radio of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. At first, there was a sense of excitement as the United States entered World War II. That soon changed however, as older brothers of his friends were drafted. Cotton was a member of the local Boy Scout troop, which collected newspapers for the cause. Later, he felt fear his town could be invaded or bombed as had happened to other cities around the world.
“All automobile headlights were required to have black paint covering the top 1/3-1/2 to lessen visible light from possible bombers at night,” he recalls. Cotton’s dad served as an air raid warden as part of the Civil Defense Core, patrolling the neighborhood to ensure no lights were visible during air raid drills. Sixteen-year-old Fred Donaldson, of Dunwoody, a met with some of his friends at Nash’s Store after hearing the news of Pearl Harbor on the radio. It was a Sunday afternoon, and the group routinely met at the store following church and dinner (lunch) with the family. Donaldson recalls that Fred Miles, a friend of the group, had already joined the military and was in the Philippines at the time of Pearl Harbor. Fred Donaldson joined the Air Force in 1942 and served in the Pacific. He married Phylis Irene Adams on Dec. 7, 1946, five years after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This year, they celebrate 75 years of marriage. Mary Haase Flippen was attending
Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, in 1941. On Dec. 7, she was at the movies with a friend. The theatre stopped the movie, turned on the lights and announced the bombing. Her friend, “burst into tears because her brother was in the Army, and she knew he would be sent to war.” Flippen was born in Nebraska in 1924. During the Great Depression, when jobs were scarce, her father found work at the Lago Oil Refinery in Aruba. The family moved to Aruba. The Lago Oil Refinery supplied airplane fuel to the Allies during World War II. Garrie Phillips was at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Phillips, who is 102, lives at Dogwood Forest in Dunwoody. In 1941, Phillips’ husband, Tom Crayton, was in the Navy, and they had recently moved from San Francisco to Pearl Harbor, arriving on Thanksgiving Day. Phillips was at a friend’s apartment the day of the attack. Her husband was conducting mine sweeps aboard a submarine. Garrie and Tom had difficulty contacting
their family to let them know they were safe, as many family members did not have phones. Tom’s brother was also at Pearl Harbor and escaped harm. Frank Stovall’s mom heard the news on the radio and told her son. He was at his family home in West End, Atlanta. Stovall was a student at Georgia Tech and in the Naval ROTC. The students had heard Pearl Harbor was on alert the week before. All students were already enrolled in Naval ROTC or Army ROTC due to the increased likelihood of the U.S. entering the war. Student schedules were accelerated from nine months to 12 months a year to complete their degrees in three years. Frank Stovall received his chemical engineering degree and reported for duty the day after graduation. Thank you to everyone who shared their memories of Dec. 7, 1941.

Church. As did so many community activities, the fundraiser had to be canceled in 2021 due to the pandemic. This annual event is their only fundraiser, and they are looking forward to resuming it so that they can continue the many worthwhile projects they undertake around our community. Tickets for the event and the funds raised through the silent auction enable the club to support the master gardeners at Brook Run and Dunwoody Nature Center, as well as occasional special projects — the Garden Club of Georgia’s college scholarship fund, elementary school gardens, the Dunwoody Preservation Trust and untold others. As always, the club welcomes visitors to their monthly meetings. The next one is January 12, 2022, at The Annex, 4470 North Shallowford Road, Dunwoody, GA 30338, 9:30–12. The program will be “Wildlife in Winter,” by Rose Guerra, a naturalist/environmental educator. Just think, you may get to see a bit of color in what can be a dreary winter landscape. Award-winning author Kathy Manos Penn is a Sandy Springs resident. Find her cozy mysteries locally at The Enchanted Forest and on Amazon.

Dear Reader, I am pleased to present Appen Media Group’s newest addition to your local newspaper, a free coupon page for local restaurants that we hope to update and publish every week. This is a continued effort by our company to support local restaurants through a still very trying economic period. This program costs participating restaurants nothing, other than the discount they are offering their customers in the coupon. It is a small way for us at Appen Media Group to give back to the business community that has given us so much. Our hope is that this will continue to protect the high quality of life we have come to enjoy in the north Metro area. For me, the pandemic highlighted the best in you – our readers – as you rushed to the aid of local businesses looking for new and creative ways to keep their lights on. You made donations, ordered take out, bought gift cards, took food to healthcare workers – whatever you could do to help out.
SUPPORT LOCAL RESTAURANTS!
Local businesses still desperately need your continued support and patronage. So, please take advantage of these great offers! While you are at it, please take a look through our newspaper and support our advertisers. They are the reason we are able to offer this program – for free – to local restaurants. Best, Hans Appen, Publisher
