County alters redistricting plan, adopts new map By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — After heated debate at its Jan. 25 work session, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners approved a new map that would alter commission district boundaries. The map must be approved by the local legislative delegation and the General Assembly before going into effect. Tuesday’s vote was 4-1, with District 4 Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills dissenting. If the new map is enacted, the western half of her district would be absorbed into District 1. Her District 4 would expand south of Browns Bridge Road. “I don’t want to send a message to the people I’ve represented in northwest Forsyth that I don’t care about them,” Jones Mills said. “Because I do.” Under the new map, District 2 would move east, claiming the southeastern border of the county and extending north to Lake Lanier, enveloping most of what is currently the southern half of District 5. District 5 would in turn shift west into what is currently District 2, sitting on the east side of Ga. 400 and extending north into Cumming. The new map would drastically shift the way Cumming is represented in the county. Under the current map, the city is almost entirely within the boundaries of District 1, with some small pockets falling in Districts 3 and 5. The new map would place at least part of the city in every district except District 3. The board had approved a different map on Oct. 21 last year, which would

IN MEMORIAM
Dick Williams: Dunwoody’s giant of journalism By CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. –– Dick Williams personified Dunwoody. The 77-year-old television talk show host, editorial writer and former owner and publisher of the Dunwoody Crier, died of congestive heart failure Jan. 20 at his daughter’s home in Arkansas. Williams wore many hats, including a 30-year stint as a high school basketball referee, a newspaper columnist for the Atlanta JournalConstitution, a Georgetown University recruiter and a behind-the-scenes advocate for the formation of the cities of Brookhaven and Dunwoody. However, his primary focus and passion revolved around building community through the Dunwoody Crier. In an April 10, 2019 column, when it appeared that the Crier would cease publication, Williams wrote of three dreams he’d had as a young man – “play basketball in Madison Square Garden, be a big-city newspaper columnist and publish a small-town newspaper that served the community.”

MARTA CEO Jeffrey Parker dies By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — MARTA General Manager and CEO Jeffrey Parker died by suicide Jan. 14. Parker was struck by a train at the East Lake Transit Station. MARTA’s official Twitter account tweeted at 11:45 p.m. Jan. 14 about an emergency situation at the station disrupting service. “Jeff cared deeply about MARTA and his leadership gave us a strong foundation from which to carry forward,” the agency said in a statement. Parker worked in transporta-
tion for more than 35 years and had served as MARTA’s CEO since 2018. He began his career as an intern with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority in 1985. He later served as commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Transportation. Atlanta Business Chronicle recognized Parker in 2020 as one of the most influential Atlantans. The Atlanta chapter of Women’s Transportation Seminar also recognized him in 2019 as its Man of the Year for his record of hiring and promoting women in transportation. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and other state officials have shared tributes to
Parker on social media. “In addition to a remarkable professional career in the public/private sectors, Jeffrey was known for his civic engagement and support for the advancement of his communities,” Kemp said in a tweet. At a special called meeting Jan. 15, the MARTA Board of Directors named Collie Greenwood as interim general manager and CEO. Greenwood has 33 years’ experience in transit operations and joined MARTA as chief of bus operations and urban planning in July 2019. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline can be reached at 1-800-273-8255.
Milton woman accused of arson in home fire By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia. com MILTON, Ga. — A Milton woman is accused of setting her house on fire in the middle of the night Dec. 10 less than a month after an earlier VOSGES fire forced her to vacate the property. Erica Vosges, 30, is facing a felony charge of arson in the first degree and is being held at the Fulton County Jail on $10,000 bond. According to the initial report, emergency dispatch phoned the Milton Fire Department at 2:40 a.m. Dec. 10, informing them about a fire on Avensong Village Circle. The report states that during the phone call, dispatch told the fire department that its computer-aided dispatch system was down, and it was unable to radio for units. CAD systems are used to ef-

fectively dispatch and track emergency service incidents. Eight minutes after receiving the phone call, three engines and a ladder truck responded to the scene, where firefighters found the two-story, 1,322-square-foot house fully engulfed in flames. The incident report states the fire also extended to two neighboring homes. The Alpharetta Fire Department assisted in the effort to extinguish the fire, but the CAD system remained down. The fire was controlled at around 4 a.m. Vosges’ arrest warrant states she had been renting the 26-year-old house but living at a nearby hotel when the fire occurred because of an earlier fire that took place at the same address on Thanksgiving Day. During the first incident, the warrant states, Vosges allegedly removed all her personal belongings, furniture and pictures. The fire caused smoke and water-related damage.
Vosges allegedly told law enforcement she was sleeping at the hotel when the fire occurred Dec. 10. However, according to the arrest warrant, she was captured on video arriving at the home at 2:24 a.m. and leaving six minutes later with visible smoke coming from the residence. Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John F. King said Jan. 13 the Fire Investigations Unit is assisting the Milton fire and police departments with the investigation. “The fire caused a large amount of damage to the second story of the home,” King said. “Our canine unit was deployed and swiftly alerted to the presence of accelerants.” The incident comes in the wake of another arson case, where 52-year-old Jesse Hooper, of Alpharetta, is accused of intentionally setting his house on fire on Bethany Road Nov. 18. Hooper was charged with arson in the first degree and conspiracy to commit a felony.

Georgia Ensemble Theatre expands into northern Roswell By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — When Georgia Ensemble Theatre closed at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the motherdaughter duo Anita Farley and Laurel Crowe couldn’t have imagined its student body would not only grow two years later but it’d have a second building on Hembree Parkway. Farley, producing artistic director and co-founder of Georgia Ensemble, said the theatre will celebrate its 30th anniversary next season. Over the years, it has served as the official resident theatre company of the Roswell Cultural Arts Center, where it formerly held its MainStage performances and educational programming. But in June 2021, the theatre expanded to a new studio in north Roswell to better meet the needs of the community. Crowe, education director at Georgia Ensemble, said the theatre has been growing for the past decade. Rehearsals, classes and camps now take place at the studio that once housed a church, giving them the flexibility and autonomy to host different programs. The new space tripled the number of classes the theatre can offer year-round. It also increased its ability to program small shows like improv and sketch comedy, open-mic nights, performances by the Teen Acting Ensemble troupe and solo-performer shows. While the studio already has classrooms and a small stage platform, a lot of renovation still needs to be done such as building out the studio’s performance space with sound equipment and a lighting system to create a flexible black box theatre.
Crowe said about 50 students enroll in classes each semester and about 150 for summer camps. Those numbers have remained consistent throughout the pandemic thanks to the staff’s new set of skills, which allow them to transition online at any given moment to keep from having to shut down. Crowe said Georgia Ensemble will only continue to grow as the community becomes more aware of its new location. “It’s been really, really hard on the arts, but we’ve been able to do in-person classes for our students since July of 2020, so to that end we actually grew in some really wonderful and organic ways because there were people who needed to find a safe space for their young people to explore,” Crowe said. Despite its success so far, the theatre has faced multiple challenges with its live performances. Farley said the 2021-22 season opened with the musical “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” which ran smoothly. But just as it was getting ready for its next show, “Vanity Fair,” the omicron surge happened, and the theatre was forced to postpone until Feb. 17. Farley said they are almost done casting for “The Pretty Pants Bandit,” – the last big musical of the season – but she knows anything can happen between now and April, when it is set to open. Crowe said the pandemic continues to be a “wild ride” for the theatre and its staff. “I don’t know if anybody anticipated or imagined we’d still be going through all of this,” Crowe said. If there’s a silver lining in the pandemic, Crowe said, it’s how the families who make up Georgia Ensemble have stepped up to fundraise and help remodel the new studio.

Georgia Ensemble Theatre Artistic Director and Cofounder Anita Farley and Education Director Laurel Crowe say their new studio gives them the flexibility and autonomy to host different education programs such as rehearsals, classes and camps. It is located at 615 Hembree Pkwy. Suite 200 in Roswell.
She said Georgia Ensemble serves people of all ages and levels of experience, starting with classes in pre-K. In April 2021, dozens of volunteers came together to begin the renovation process, putting in over 350 hours of work to tear out carpet, repair drywall, paint walls and clean bathrooms. “People just showed up in really special ways so that

Williams:
Dunwoody will forever be defined by its founding storyteller-in-chief, Dick Williams.”
Continued from Page 1 “I did all three,” Williams wrote. “Not bad.” Williams’ dream followed a winding path from Kansas City to New York City, with stops in between before he landed in Atlanta. He worked as a news director at WXIA, which he found was not his cup of tea, then made the jump to the afternoon paper, the Atlanta Journal, as a reporter, then an editor, and later as a columnist. In the early 1980s, he began hosting a television show that morphed into “The Georgia Gang,” a weekly political roundtable. His stint as host ran more than 35 years until health challenges forced him to give up his seat in 2019. His dream to own a local newspaper came to fruition in 1996 with purchase of the Crier from former publisher Susan Courtemanche, who had been operating it as a local shopper filled with a smattering of ads, folksy news and engagements and wedding announcements. Williams took the paper to another level, hiring reporters tasked with finding stories that showcased Dunwoody and its unique mix of news about Perimeter area businesses, local politics, longtime residents and young families looking for a “Mayberry-type” community to raise their families. The paper hit its stride with its 1998 coverage of the Dunwoody tornado and the rebuilding effort that took place afterwards. A series of stories written by the likes of Williams, Kathy Florence, Rashawn Biddle and Mickey Goodman earned a “Best Local Coverage Award” from Atlanta Magazine. Florence, now the city’s communications manager, who worked at the Crier for years as a columnist and graphics artist, said she hopes to emulate Wil-

Monday afternoon deadline days at the Crier were some of the most stressful and exciting days of my life.” With Williams working his magic behind the scenes, the dream of cityhood for Dunwoody gained momentum in 2000. In his 2019 column in the Crier, Williams said “thousands of trees died for our coverage of Denis Shortal, Bev Wingate, Ken Wright and the leaders of the incorporation effort.” Voters approved the city’s formation in July 2008 by an overwhelming 82 percent. Danny Ross, who served as an at-large council member from 20082011, said Williams’ political clout advanced the agenda in Dunwoody’s incorporation efforts. “He made a difference in political CDAR Member SWIFT Code: GMCBUS3A

discourse,” Ross said. “He made a difference in the formation of two cities: Dunwoody and Brookhaven.” John Heneghan, the city’s longest serving council member, said Williams positively impacted the lives of every Dunwoody citizen. “He supported community events, influenced politics and helped found a city that improved the quality of life for all involved,” he said. Dunwoody’s first mayor, Ken Wright, said he met Williams when the thought of cityhood was in the idea stage, and that his friendship with the Crier editor pushed him to take leadership roles during incorporation and beyond. “We were some 25 years apart in age but that never really entered my mind,” Wright said. “Ultimately, I saw him as a good friend and a really … fun, funny, smart and cool dude. “During the 10 years pre-city and years after cityhood, Dick and his staff would plaster every word, thought and non-word in our beloved Dunwoody Crier,” Wright continued. “It was hyper-local news at its pinnacle. It was awesome and nightmarish at the same table, but always a gold medal (or at least a tasty treat) for the Dunwoody community.” Williams’ support for another Dunwoody institution, the annual Fourth of July Parade, was a constant during his tenure at the Crier. Under the Crier’s sponsorship and with the help of dedicated volunteers like residents Bill Robinson and Pam Tallmadge, it grew to be Georgia’s largest parade, with 2,000 participants and 30,000 spectators. In 2011, the parade committee honored him for his community efforts, naming him that year’s grand marshal. “The Dunwoody parade would not be what it is today without Dick Williams’ support,” Heneghan said. “The Dunwoody parade was his Christmas.” Like his steadfast support of local causes, Williams was equally passionate about voicing his conservative be-
liefs, which drew him a fair number of detractors. However, as most who met Williams agree, he met controversy in a different manner. “The whole idea was to disagree without being disagreeable,” Williams said in a television interview with Fox 5 News about his retirement from “The Georgia Gang” and his work at the Crier. “I try to bring all the sides of the issue to the table for discussion.” Community activist and Dunwoody Nature Center Controller Susan Mitchell, who knew Williams in different capacities for decades, said the veteran journalist’s greatest pride was the Dunwoody community he helped to form and was committed to support. “Dunwoody will forever be defined by its founding storyteller-in-chief, Dick Williams,” she said. “Dick long loved this community. While he rubbed elbows with influential politicos, he was equally attentive to the triumphs of the soap box derby kids and the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl champs from our area elementary schools. I’ll miss his salty wit, his keen intellect and his unapologetic (Georgetown) Hoya worship.” Appen Media Publisher Hans Appen, whose company took over the Crier days after Williams announced its closure in 2019, said today’s Crier “is a weekly reminder of Dick’s impact on journalism in Metro Atlanta and the city of Dunwoody.” “The archives of the Crier are filled with stories he wrote about the community he so loved,” Appen said. “We will be forever grateful to continue his legacy that is the Dunwoody Crier.” Williams was preceded in death by his wife of 40 years, Rebecca Chase Williams. Rebecca, a veteran ABC News reporter and former Brookhaven mayor, died after a three-year battle with cancer in March 2019. Dick Williams is survived by daughters, Chase Williams Stevens (Wesley) and Clare Williams Stevens (William), as well as his first grandchild, Grace. The lives of Dick and Rebecca Williams will be honored at a visitation from 4-7 p.m., Feb. 10 at HM Patterson & Son, Oglethorpe Hill Chapel, 4550 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, Ga. 30319. Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 11 at St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church in Sandy Springs.

Developers say they plan to “maintain the character” of the Bailey Johnson School, which was built in 1949 and first known as the Alpharetta Colored School. 6 | Forsyth Herald | February 3, 2022
Development Authority OKs bond for Alpharetta office complex By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The Alpharetta Development Authority has approved a revenue bond inducement for a $70 million office complex on Kimball Bridge Road. The bond was awarded to North Carolina-based Crescent Communities, which plans to redevelop the old Bailey Johnson School building at 154 Kimball Bridge Road. Crescent Communities has built about half a dozen residential and commercial projects in the Atlanta area, including Phipps Tower in Buckhead. Crescent has partnered with Kimball Bridge Venture Partners, who pitched the complex to the development authority at the Jan. 25 meeting. Plans call for the complex to provide around 160,000 square feet of office space — a quarter of if an “adaptive reuse” of the existing school building. The bulk of the office space will come in the form of a new three-story, timber-frame building next to the school. The complex will accommodate parking for around 500. Representatives for the development estimate the complex will create around 500 construction jobs and 800 new permanent jobs once completed. Construction is expected to begin in mid-2022 and wrap up at the end of 2023. Alpharetta Development Authority Chairman Jack Nugent stressed at the meeting that the project will put “no city dollars whatsoever” at risk. The developers assume all the financial risk for the complex. Alpharetta Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard said the revenue bond inducement grants the developers a temporary tax abatement. The Development Authority will hold the property

Members of the Alpharetta Development Authority discuss details of a proposed office complex with representatives of Kimball Bridge Venture Partners Jan. 25. The $75 million office park would occupy space at the site of the Bailey Johnson School on Kimball Bridge Road. title for a 10-year period. The developers will pay 50% of the property tax in the first year, increasing by 5% each year until they assume the full tax obligation. At that point, the property title transfers to the developers. Developers say its goal is to “maintain the character” of the Bailey Johnson School, which was built in 1949 and first known as the Alpharetta Colored School. It was renamed in 1953 after Warren Johnson, a former slave and proponent of African American education, and George Bailey, who donated the land. Bailey Johnson was the first school in the area where Black students could receive an education from first to 12th grade. Before the school opened, Black students had to travel 30 miles south to
Atlanta to attend classes beyond seventh grade, according to Fulton County Schools. City documents note the complex could serve as a venue for Black history and arts events. Representatives of Kimball Bridge Venture Partners said plans are in the works to have murals painted on the complex to commemorate the location’s history. Developers also noted that they face some supply chain limitations and issues of inflation, saying costs were rising as high as 1% per month. As a result, the complex will charge “top-of-themarket” rental rates, as high as $35 per square foot. Notably, the development comes as Alpharetta struggles to fill some alreadyexisting office space. At a City Council
This diagram shows the office complex development planned for the old Bailey Johnson School. The Alpharetta Development Authority approved a revenue bond inducement for the project Jan. 25. retreat the day before the Development Authority meeting, Community Development Director Kathi Cook noted that around 18% of the city’s 21 million square feet of office space is vacant, up to 33% in certain areas. Metro Atlanta’s average office space vacancy rate is around 14.5%. Economic Development Manager Lance Morsell noted that Alpharetta’s high vacancy rate may be because it is home to around 10% of all the office space in the metro area.

Can the pace of home remodeling continue? Brought to you by – Remodeling Expo Center Throughout 2021 home remodeling seemed virtually unaffected by the Covid pandemic. Home sales continue to be robust, but the pace of home remodeling is even greater. New home buyers tend to remodel as soon as they move into their new home, but the remodeling craze seems to apply to everyone. “Our Kitchen and Bathroom remodeling business has experienced a 75% year over year increase” says John Hogan, president of Remodeling Expo Center, “and we don’t see any slowdown in sight”. There’s been a rapid change to supply chains in our entire economy and while some businesses are suffering, others are prospering. Demand for products and services are at record levels and businesses are required to re-think their supply chain from end to end; those businesses that creatively maneu-
ver around the supply chain issues are prospering. “Last year we re-focused all of our purchasing to those suppliers with local inventory, so we get instant access to products, then we diverted custom built products to smaller, more nimble suppliers, and finally we began to inventory some items so our remodeling jobs could get started faster and eliminate job progress interruptions. These changes weren’t easy but without them we couldn’t be in the hyper-growth mode that we’re presently experiencing, says Bobbie Kohm, Vice President of Remodeling Expo Center, “Turnkey Design-Build companies, like us, keep the process very simple”. Low interest rates are going to be around for a long time and investment in our homes is likely to continue. For more information on Remodeling Expo Center (RemodelingExpo.com), contact them at their showroom at 48 King Street in Roswell or at 404-910-3969.

Choosing the right material for your Exterior Shutters Brought to you by – Dupbel Millworks, Inc. Shutters can make or break the curb appeal of a house and it is important to consider the different materials that shutters are made of. Prices will vary considerably between the different materials and each will have its own positives and negatives. Let’s take a look at the 4 main ones. Wood: Very traditional and good looking. Could be pricey depending in the wood species that is used. Stay away from cheaper woods like Poplar or pine that will rot, twist and split within a short period of time. Good species are Western Red Cedar and Cypress. Make sure you add some sort of a cap to the top of the shutter to prevent splitting and make sure your provider seals the wood effectively to prevent rot. Easy to customize size and styles. Easy to repaint depending on the paint used, and special care should be taken to ensure the paint seals the product completely. Vinyl: Cheapest option you can get, but then it will also look like that. The summer heat can play a trick on these where the shutters became brittle with color fading over time. These shutters are typically hollow and not very strong. Its recommended that they are mounted flush against the wall, although some service providers sell hardware kits to mount them on hinges. Vinyl shutters are typically 3 times cheaper than wood or composites, but remember you’ll have to pay for installation 3 times. Limited options available for size, style and color. Difficult to repaint effectively. Composite Wood: Pricing is comparable to wood, and although you get the look and feel of wood, you don’t have the issues that comes using wood. No rotting, swelling, twisting and if it is the right material, no insect damage. There are different composite materials available and not all are rated for extended exterior use, so make sure your provider uses the right stuff (and can prove it). Very long lasting and in some cases you even have environmentally friendly/safe options available. Easy to customize and a good provider should be able to create unique designs and styles perfect for your home. Similar to wood it will need repainting in a few years, but generally easy to do. Can be mounted on hinges or direct to the wall.
PVC: Pricey, so shop around. This stuff will last almost forever and moisture have no effect on it. Heat does play a role and it’s prone to cupping, bending and warping, so make sure your provider adds some form of additional strengthening. Seems that the industry standard is to add metal bracing on the back to prevent some of the issues. Difficult to paint and typically comes in standard colors. Make sure from you provider what steps you’ll have to take when it comes to repainting. Can be mounted flush or on hinges. Dupbel Millworks Inc. manufactures exteriors shutters using only weather resistant materials. Our core business is shutters made from a composite wood material that is rot, insect and weather resistant. This is especially important in Georgia’s hot, humid conditions. Although we carry a series of shutters styles, we are fully equipped to help you design the specific look you desire, and every shutter is custom made based on your house, windows and design. We use your house as our showroom, knowing very well how difficult it can be to see what a specific style of shutter will do the look of your home. We come to your house with samples and will help you to choose the perfect style of shutter for your house. Our business is located in Alpharetta, GA and we are proud to serve the residential and commercial market of North Georgia. We are small enough to provide you with personal attention, yet strong enough to handle complex designs. 678-662-4815

OPINION
AppenMedia.com/Forsyth | Forsyth Herald | February 3, 2022 | 13
A few notes about the passage of time On August 15, I moved a year closer to being old — 67 to be exact. I don’t feel old though — maybe 28? This year I have managed to begin to self-destruct, however. RAY APPEN Fell off a box in our new Publisher Emeritus old remodeled home ray@appenmedia.com repairing an overhead light and broke two ribs when the box collapsed. A few weeks later I went up on our roof (our wet roof) to blow off the leaves. When I stepped back onto the ladder it started sliding backward from the wet deck, and when I landed, I thought I had shattered my ankle. It turns out that I only tore ligaments and tendons. So, I do see the future; I am my own worst threat. I’ve always thought, I just want to finish well. It would be a shame to spoil that by making stupid decisions, no? Those falls for sure have delayed my debut on the senior pro tennis tour, but they didn’t interfere with my decades-long quest to become a proficient piano player. Most likely I still have 10 years or so that I need to get there. Dick Williams, the man who, for years, held the helm of the Dunwoody Crier that
we now publish, died last week at 77. He was a kindred soul and hard-core newspaper man. When he announced he was shutting down the Crier a couple years ago I drove to Dunwoody and convinced him to let us keep his newspaper going. We sat in his living room and talked shop and discovered that we both collected fountain pens — what better hobby for newspaper folk? His death — although I knew he was not in good health — rattled me. Hard core news guys are not supposed to die, at least at such a young age. “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less… any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.” - John Donne, written in 1624. That is, our world is the less for Dick’s death. I keep getting these mortality reminders, and I am not happy with them. I still have too much to get done. That includes getting back out on the Appalachian Trail at some point. The oldest person to hike the trail, I think, thru-hiked it in his mid80s. No way I am going to let him keep that record. But I am consoled and comforted by many things and many people. It only takes seeing a current picture of Keith for
me to know that everything is going to be OK. So long as the Stones keep touring, and Keith keeps smoking those Marlboro reds and whatever else he continues to partake of, and still strut across that stage making that lead guitar send chills up our spines, I’m good. And my kids are now unbelievably not youngsters anymore — 25, 31, and 33 — no way. But they give me a continuous reason to marvel, celebrate, and glow. At the end of the day, this theater that is my children and grandchildren just wraps around my existence like a rainbow paints the sky after rain. Nothing in life matters more. They are my raison d’etre. Now, I love my children and grandchildren. And I love Keith too, but seriously, we’ve got a problem — individually and collectively. This virus stuff is real. The implosion of our earth is real; just look around. The social and political chaos we have created is real too, and it is getting worse. Do you think it all just might be a wakeup call? Aren’t we all done with this toxic insanity? And don’t we all have better things to do with our time — our very blink-of-an-eye, tiny slice of time we have been given? When you consider the brevity and fra-
gility of our humanity, one has to wonder what we are thinking or whether we are thinking at all. It’s all about choices. Help someone or hurt someone. Love someone or hate them. Put even more money in our own pocket or put a little into pockets that are empty. Feed someone or watch them starve. Help heal the only earth we have or keep destroying it. Participate in the inane political stupidity or do something helpful instead. Are these hard decisions for us? We all know that if we want to fix this stuff it has a cost. We know it will hurt and require sacrifice, compromise and empathy. And we all know that fixing this world begins with making small personal changes, something we can start doing today; yes we can. Aren’t we about out of time-outs? We’re not blind. We’re not stupid. And we know we only have a brief moment to get it right — to “fix” and do it right — to make our own personal world and our collective world better, better for ourselves, for our children, and for their children. After all, isn’t that what it is all about? What are we waiting for? Why are we waiting? I don’t think that waiting is going to fix anything, do you? What’s your next step? What’s mine? Do it.

Dunwoody’s Stage Door Theatre Theatre: announces first show of the year Continued from Page 3
BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Stage Door Theatre will present Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” to kick off the second half of its season. This marks the theatre’s 48th season producing live stage productions for Dunwoody theatregoers. Rather than setting the play in its original 19th century London setting, Director Kelly Johnston has set this show in 1920s Georgia. “Wilde wrote several pointed and poignant plays in his storied career, but we’re happy to kick off the new year with a sparkling and hilarious ‘champagne comedy’,” Johnston said. The classic play tells the story of two wealthy Georgian bachelors who each assume the identity of a fictitious man named Earnest to win the hearts of two young women. The ladies have publicly stated their adoration of the name alone. Meanwhile, the two leads are attempting to slip past the interference of

Commissioners were set to discuss ratifying that map at their Jan. 11 meeting but postponed the item for two weeks. County attorney Ken Jarrard said Tuesday that the council needed to pass a map quickly to meet a legislative deadline. Jones Mills asked as map discussion began to play a video clip from the Oct.
the intimidating Mrs. Bracknell. Wilde’s witty farce shows that pretending to be someone else leads to being yourself. “The true genius of the farce is not the pointed message some of Wilde’s other plays are known for, but the absurd relatability of Wilde’s opinions on triviality and class.” Johnston said. For everyone’s health and safety, the theatre has updated its policies concerning COVID-19 as of this year. To learn more information concerning masks and attendance, read the full policy on their website at www.stagedoortheatrega.org. Tickets are on sale now with performances running from Feb. 4 to 20. Performances will be on Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m., with a Sunday matinee option at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are priced at $35 for adults, $20 for students and $15 for children. To purchase tickets, call 770-396-1726 or visit online at their website. Stage Door Theatre is at the DeKalb Cultural Arts Building, 5339 Chamblee Dunwoody Road. 21 meeting, which she said would be helpful for commissioners to refresh their memory on those discussions. Other commissioners said it was not necessary. The board had three separate maps to discuss, but voted to approve the first one presented. Jones Mills asked the board to display the other two options after the vote so the public could see them, but she was again turned down. Commission Chairman Alfred John said that since the vote was over, the commission needed to move on. Because Tuesday’s meeting was a work session, the approval was not final. Commissioners will formally vote on the
we can get the new building ready to have camps,” Crowe said. “For these kids, these families, this has become their place, and it makes me really happy that’s the case. I think that’s what my dream would be is that anyone who walks in here, anyone who sits down in this building for whatever reason feels at home and comforted that this is a place where you can be you.” The theatre is also gearing up for its touring school productions for the first time in two years. This year’s show is, “And Then They Came For Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank.” It recounts the story of two childhood friends of Anne Frank and their experiences of hiding, capture and imprisonment during the Holocaust. Crowe said the show is catered to students in fifth through eighth grade who are studying World War II in schools. She said when the theatre first closed in 2020, she and other artists did a lot of soul-searching to find “the thing” that filled their cup, and for her, it was the kids and being in the classroom again. “Sometimes we were the only thing some students were allowed to do outside of their virtual school,” Crowe said. “It kept me going. I and a lot of other artists love what we do. It’s exciting for us to be able to create with young people.” The theatre is currently only allowmap as part of the consent agenda at their next regular meeting. John said that the local legislative delegation will begin looking at the map ahead of that formal vote. Other business at the work session included discussions on regulating build-to-rent communities in Forsyth County. The term build-to-rent refers to subdivisions constructed with the intent of renting the properties out rather than selling them. Commissioners directed the county attorney to create draft legislation that would require any build-to-rent communities within the county to have a conditional use permit.

Georgia Ensemble Theatre Artistic Director and co-founder Anita Farley and Education Director Laurel Crowe say they’re excited to continue to serve the community through educational programming at their new studio on Hembree Parkway in Roswell.
ing fully vaccinated guests to attend the shows. Guests are asked to wear a face mask inside the building. To support the theatre, Farley encourages the public to attend a show or make a donation no matter how big or small. “Buy tickets, come see us, don’t be afraid,” Farley said. “The entire company is vaccinated. We are testing three times a week because Fulton County is still in the red, so we know we are safe on our end and we’re hoping that you’ll all be safe on your end. If we all work together, it can be a very safe place to come and enjoy a show and be entertained. Donations are always welcome especially coming out of these past two years.” For more information Solutionor to sign up for a class, visit get.org or call 770-910-7486.
