The reconstruction of the Dunwoody Village Parkway now is expected to continue until the end of October. City officials say the construction schedule has been extended by 40 days due to delays caused by the ice and snow storms last winter, and the extra time needed in May to move a water main that was buried deeper than expected. Work began in December on the $2.4 million project that will narrow the parkway and add sidewalks and bicycle lanes in what city officials hope eventually will create a “Main Street” for Dun-

‘Night Out’ draws fans of police, ﬁreﬁghters BY ELLEN ELDRIDGE

elleneldridge@reporternewspapers.net

A short presentation by members of the Dunwoody Police Explorers, top left, during the 2014 National Night Out on Aug. 5 showed neighbors how a group of 14- to 21-year-olds is learning leadership and discipline. Jalil Allah, 16, has served with the Dunwoody Explorers for more than two years, he said. He joined when he lived in Dunwoody, and stayed with the same group after moving to Marietta. “The people you meet [in the Explorers program] and the connections you make, you don’t want to leave,” he said. Dunwoody police joined the National Night Out program, which is sponsored by police and fire departments around the world, because the event “lets people get a better look at the police department and the equipment we utilize,” Officer Timothy Fecht said. Madeline Vicine, 7, met firefighter Karsten Green, bottom left, of the DeKalb County Fire Department, who showed her the fire engine.

woody. When the project was approved last October, city officials said they expected construction to take seven to eight months, and that they hoped it would be completed or substantially completed by July, in time for the Dunwoody Homeowners’ Association’s annual July 4 parade. But city spokesman Bob Mullen said officials always understood the construction could take more time. The construction contract called for work to take nine months and be completed in September, he said. Mullen said city officials don’t consider the delay a problem. “We understand it has taken time, and we want it to stay on schedule, but we also understand the need for the extension,” he said. “We’re anxious, but we want to make sure it’s done right.” Some business owners and managers operating shops along the parkway

say the construction has made it difficult for some customers to get to their stores. “It certainly hasn’t helped any,” said Bob Sheets, a co-owner of Dunwoody Cigar in the Dunwoody Plaza Shopping Center. “I would think the way it’s being done... it’s had to affect people’s ability to get in and out of here.” Sheets said he didn’t understand the reason for the project. “Why would

you take four lanes and turn it into two lanes?” he asked. “To me, it just doesn’t make sense.” Other store managers say they look forward to a surge in business after the completion of the project. “I think that will bring more traffic in here when they are done,” said T.J. Patel, manager of Dunwoody Beverage. “I’m very optimistic that we’ll see business go up after the construction.”

Patel said a few of his older customers may have had trouble navigating the orange barrels channeling traffic during construction, but he believed the long-term gains would make up for any lost business during the construction. “Anything involving the good development of Dunwoody, we’re happy with that,” he said. “It definitely helps business.”

Even at half its original proposed size, the temporary sign seemed a bit too big for some on Dunwoody City Council. But the 50-percent reduction won approval from others. On July 28, a divided council approved a 2,400-square-foot advertisement promoting the AJC Dunwoody Wine Fest. The council voted 3-2 to allow the 60-by-40-foot sign to hang on the side of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s building from Sept. 15 until Oct. 14. The newspaper originally had requested a 4,800-square-foot sign to promote the wine festival. “It’s just not the look and feel of

Dunwoody,” said Councilman Terry Nall, who voted against the sign, as did Councilman Denny Shortal. Mayor Mike Davis and Councilmen Doug Thompson and Jim Riticher voted to approve it. Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch and Councilman John Heneghan were absent from the meeting. Riticher argued that the sign was within the Perimeter area of the city and would not be seen from residential areas. “If it turns out this is very unpopular, maybe we’ll learn a lesson,” he said. “I just don’t think it’ll be the visual disaster some think.”

Common Core: Right or wrong for our schools?

Editors note: The set of national education standards known as Common Core are in place in Georgia schools. But they have faced steady attack from some education critics and in the state Legislature. Reporter Newspapers asked two education activists from our communities – one a supporter of the standards and the other an opponent – to share their thoughts on the Common Core.

Centralization is a bad idea Forget the rhetoric. Forget the posturing. Common Core is a bad idea. It will not improve academic achievement for Georgia’s students. It will increase costs. NANCY It creates another bureaucracy, a standards bureau of sorts, to comJESTER pliment the already unwieldy state and federal education apparatus GUEST COLUMN that has failed to improve the educational lives of Georgia’s children, and failed to be good stewards for Georgia’s taxpayers. The title of General Sullivan’s book, “Hope is not a Method,” pretty much sums it up. Common Core is only a “set of standards.” Standards, goals, hopes, whatever you want to call them, are not methods that generate improvement in academic achievement. The daily work of a teacher, the techniques they use, are the method. Our state has spent millions of dollars to implement something that will not improve education. What if our military spent all of its resources developing great battlefield strategy but didn’t properly equip the soldiers? No matter how good the strategy (and I’m not saying Common Core is good, quite the opposite), the results would be abysmal. No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the major education legislation passed under President Bush, had standards. In 2014, NCLB said that 100 percent of our nation’s third graders would be proficient readers. That didn’t happen. Why? Because a standard, a goal, is not a method. Your tax dollars have been wasted on a distraction that delivers no value. The Georgia Department of Education likes to tout that Georgia was one of six states used as a model for Common Core. That should give us all pause. Given how poorly Georgia compares in achievement measurements, it is no comfort to learn that the same team that has brought Georgia to such a poor standing is guiding a new national effort to redefine standards. We also know that centralization, especially in governmental entities, doesn’t produce particularly good results. Common Core is a centralization strategy. It’s effective for increasing bureaucratic jobs. It’s ineffective for improving outcomes. It is the antithesis of various reform strategies which recognize and tailor education to the individual. Our world is evermore customizable and filled with choices – iPods, Spotify, Amazon, blogs. So, why do educational bureaucrats insist on going in the other direction? If centralization worked, the Soviet Union would still be around. If centralization worked, why did we break up Ma Bell? The bottom line is that Common Core is yet another bureaucratic creation that won’t do anything to help students and teachers. Yes, it also creates one stop shopping for anyone peddling an agenda in education. Georgians should reject Common Core less out of fear and more out of common sense. Nancy Jester, a former member of the DeKalb School Board and former candidate for State Superintendent of Education, writes about education issues at blog.nancyjester.com.

Higher standards challenge our children The Common Core State Standards are now into their third imSTEVE plementation year as doors open on DOLLINGER school houses across the state. Thousands of Georgians clearly see the GUEST COLUMN value they provide. After years of struggling in public education, they believe Georgia is on the right track. They have no desire to turn back now in search of another silver bullet. The Better Standards for a Better Georgia Coalition of 25plus organizations supports the higher standards. And, yes, they are higher standards built on the previous Georgia standards that had received national praise. They do raise expectations. They challenge our students, who are in fact, responding. Who are these citizen groups in this coalition? They are not the special, big money, government funded, corporate interests that some would lead you to believe. They are your neighbors. They are parents who want the best education possible for their children. They are teachers who love their students and want to see each one succeed. They are businessmen and women who have a vested interest in a quality, future workforce. They are our military families answering their nation’s call wherever that takes them. Let’s consider the experts who must implement these higher standards, and translate them into an effective curriculum written by Georgians for Georgians, our teachers. A poll of more than 3,000 educators was conducted last year by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE). Almost 75 percent said they supported the Common Core. These are the people we trust with our most precious treasures, our children. Listen to them! Here are some key points to consider as you do your Common Core homework: • Increases classroom expectations • Increases critical thinking skills • Decreases emphasis on rote memorization • Better prepares our students for post secondary education and careers • Decreases the need for remediation as our graduates enter higher education • Allows our educators to maintain control of teaching Georgia’s children. The Georgia Partnership’s latest Economics of Education report includes this statement that sums up the argument for Common Core: “College- and career-ready standards are a must-do for our state, its economy, and the future of our students. Georgia should not go back to the days when 90 percent of our students were told they were proficient, yet when compared to their peers in other states, only one-quarter of them were on track to be ready for college or embark on a career when they graduated from high school.” We must stay the course. The Common Core is right for Georgia. Dr. Steve Dolinger is the president of the non-partisan Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education, www.gpee.org. Before joining the partnership in 2002, he served as Fulton County Superintendent of schools for seven years. DUN

He’d be leaving his family behind, but heading to a place he thought would be exciting. “I was a 14-year-old going to America,” he said.” I’d heard all about the cowboys and Indians when I was a kid. That’s all I knew about America.” It felt like an adventure. Besides, he couldn’t stay in Dortmund, his home town in Germany. He wasn’t safe there. It was 1938. The Nazis held full control. He recounts vividly what it was like being a Jewish boy in a Nazi-controlled community. “Beating on the streets, I’ve seen it all,” he said. “They’d pick an old Jewish man and make him sweep the streets with toothbrushes.

burning of books. It was very intimidating for a young child.” He couldn’t play with other kids in the streets, he recalls. “Every kid was wearing a Nazi uniform, so if you were not wearing a uniform, you felt very alone,” he said. “We were not allowed to go into parks, swimming pools.” Birnbrey’s father owned a dry goods store and managed a commissary for a local union. Birnbrey says his father died on Kristallnacht, the “night of broken glass” in 1938, when Jewish businesses, homes, hospitals and temples were destroyed by the Nazis and their supporters. “He was in a local prison,” Birnbrey

said. “He died from a beating.” He never found out what happened to his mother. Birnbrey came to America as AROUND part of a huTOWN manitarian rescue mission JOE EARLE organized to remove Jewish children from Nazi Germany and resettle them in safer countries. In England, the effort was known as Kindertransport, or “children’s transport,” and resulted in more than 10,000 children finding new homes. In the United States, the program was much smaller. About 1,100 children were brought to America in an effort now often called “One Thousand Children.” “I was one of the lucky people picked,” Birnbrey said. He was sponsored by a Jewish women’s group in Birmingham. He and two other children were put on a ship and taken to New York. He eventually was placed in a foster home in Atlanta. He served in the U.S. Army from 1943 until 1945, he said. He was shipped back to Europe to fight against the Nazis. He “had a million jobs in the Army,” at one point helping interrogate German prisoners. After the war, he returned to Atlanta and started an accounting firm. “I didn’t have a job, so I started my own,” he said. Has he retired? “Yes and no,” he said during a recent chat in his Brookhaven home. At age 90, he still goes into the office for a few hours a day, he said. He also gives talks several times a month at the Breman Jewish Heritage and Holocaust Museum in Atlanta. His talks make the Holocaust seem real to the students who come to the museum. “It is amazing,” said museum executive director Aaron Berger. “These kids are learning about World War II and the Holocaust in the classroom, and then they meet someone who lived through it. They really are in awe of him.” After the war, Birnbrey didn’t want to return to Germany. “I was committed not to go back. I didn’t want anything to do with the bastards,” he said. But years later, someone told him where his parents were buried. He has returned to pay his respects. On one trip, about five years ago, he was accompanied by three of his four children. They asked to see where their grandfather had died. It proved to be too much. “When we went into the torture chamber, I suffered a heart attack,” Birnbrey said. “The ambulance took me to the hospital I was born in.”

RESTAURANTS gooey wedge served with a good Sunday gravy. The breast of chicken Cacciatore was pure comfort food. It was what my Italian grandmother would make if I had an Italian grandmother. The chicken was surprisingly juicy to be just breast meat, and the Sunday gravy was rich with plum tomatoes, mushrooms, red peppers, onions and herbs. The half portion of eggplant Parmigiana hung off the plate. The delicately fried vegetable was not swimming in sauce and cheese, but rather had the right balance of ingredients as to highlight the delicate, yet hearty, dish. The breast of chicken al pesto was excellent, sautéed in pounded basil, pine nuts and butter, and served in a creamy garlic sauce. The Snapper Casalinga was a large portion of fresh fish. It was broiled and served with a tart lemon butter and white wine sauce that slightly overpowered the fish. The accompanying sautéed spinach was garlicky with a hint of smokiness. The veal dishes were very good. The Padri-

no or Godfather, is a trio of three veal preparations, Francese, Marsala and Parmigian. All were faithful representations of these classic dishes. The veal Saltimbocca was supposed to be prepared with white wine, but tasted of Marsala wine instead, which made the dish a bit cloying. An assortment of Italian desserts was served in honor of the “birthday boy,” and the waiters and several adjoining tables serenaded with “Happy Birthday.” The desserts were all authentic, with the cannoli being the star. Alfredo’s serves good Italian food, but it excels at providing exceptional service, a welcoming atmosphere, and those feelings of warmth and comfort that are at the heart of what Italian really means. Alfredo’s is located at 1989 Cheshire Bridge Road. For more information, call 404-8761380 or visit alfredosatlanta.com.

Standout Student

Student Profile:

Elena Hartley The Lovett School, Class of 2014 Elena Hartley says she learned the value of hard work while writing and developing her own manga, or graphic novel, “Renewal.” “I gained very much respect for manga writers during the process,” Elena said. “It helped me appreciate all the hard work that goes into it.” For her senior project at The Lovett School, Elena decided to design, write and illustrate her own manga, a Japanese style of graphic novel. “I always loved Japanese video games as a kid,” she said, “especially Pokémon.” When asked how she first became interested in manga, Elena recalled her freshman year of high school. “I never really like reading,” she said. “But when a friend introduced me to anime and manga, I fell in love. There were so many different kinds of it that I was never bored with reading it.” Her project centers around two talented twins living in an alternate society that categorizes people based on their abilities. “The story is about the twins coming to terms with the life that they have,” Elena said. She says she found inspiration for the story in her day-to-day life, and used traits picked up from her friends to create the characters in Renewal. In addition, she was influenced by various anime and manga creators, especially Hayao Miyazaki, a famous Japanese director. During the 2013-2014 school year, Elena wrote and illustrated the first two chapters of “Renewal” with the goal of finishing it during the summer. In addition to reading, watching and creating anime and manga, Elena participated in several clubs and activities at Lovett, including the business club and the filmmakers club. She also participated in Student Technology Leadership, which worked to set up websites and of-

fer technology support to students. Additionally, Elena engaged in the technical theater program, which includes light design, set construction and stage crew work for Lovett’s drama productions. “Dedication is a word best associated with Elena. She was dedicated to our technical theater program, dedicated to her schoolwork, dedicated to her friends and mostly, dedicated to being her true self,” said Susan McCluskey, Elena’s technical theater director. “She is an incredibly gifted and kind young lady who has an unquenchable desire to learn and try new things.” This summer, Elena is visiting England, France and the Netherlands. She also planned to work as an intern at United Sciences, a company that funds research for and offers support to budding inventors.

What’s Next: In the fall, Elena will attend Oberlin College. She wants to study science, but is unsure which branch suits her best. –This article was written by Liam Kirchner, a student at Marist.

Report: DeKalb schools making ‘material progress’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

recently issued a report citing “material progress” the school district had made in confronting challenges and completing required actions. “We are encouraged that AdvancEd has taken note of the progress we’ve made in stabilizing the system and redirecting our focus on the growth and achievement of our 100,000 students,” said Michael Thurmond, superintendent of the school district, in a statement. “We will continue to build on our momentum, because there is much more work that needs to be done.” DeKalb students return August 11 for a new school year. The district was put on probation due to a SACS investigation that found mismanagement of money, abuse of power and unethical hiring practices. The district was told to address 14 actions to improve its accreditation status. According to the AdvancEd report, nine have been completed, with “steady progress” being made on the other five. The district was taken off probation in January. The report, released in July, noted that school board meetings have improved focus. “Board meetings are once again focused on the needs and issues impacting the growth and academic success of the students of DeKalb County,” it said. “The meetings are professional and collegial. Even when board members are not in agreement with each other or have difficult questions for the staff, there is a new atmosphere of respect.” The report also noted fiscal progress the school system has made. “As a result of sounder financial management, realistic budget forecasting and more rigid cost controls,” a $14 million deficit in 2012 turned into a $10.8 million surplus a year later. Challenges the board still faces, said the report, include “the transition to a new board and the search for a new superintendent. In the recent past, these challenges have been wrought with conflict and confusion. It is imperative that the Board of Education and district

leadership ensure that the school system and community are prepared to address these known challenges in a professional and coherent manner.” SACS says the board still has to complete the following five actions, which it notes are “in progress”: 1. Devise and implement a written, comprehensive plan for unifying the DeKalb County Board of Education so that the focus can become serving the needs of the children of the DeKalb County School District. 2. Establish and implement policies and procedures that ensure separation of duties of the governing board and that of the administration, including the elimination of Board working committees which result in board members assuming administrative functions that should be the responsibility of appropriate staff. 3. Develop systematic and systemic processes to ensure the continued implementation and sustainability of the continuous improvement efforts of the DeKalb County Board of Education in establishing and sustaining the Board as a highly effective governing body. 4. Develop and implement plans, policies and processes to monitor, evaluate and sustain the school system’s continuous improvement efforts. 5. Continue to implement, evaluate and adapt the system’s technology plan to ensure an effective and equitable distribution of technology throughout the system and its long-term sustainability. Board Chairman Melvin Johnson said that the improvements will continue. “We will have stringent training protocols in place for new board members to ensure our meetings remain professional and collegial,” he said. “And when we embark on a national search for a new superintendent, we will ensure that the process is open, transparent and focused on finding the best CEO to build on the legacy of Mr. Thurmond and the current board.”

City cites ‘dorm’ for violations as school plans to move students BY ANN MARIE QUILL

annmariequill@reporternewspapers.net

Troubles continue for The Hub, an extendedstay hotel used as student housing by the Art Institute of Atlanta, which says it is working on a plan to relocate its students. Six days after a July 24 fatal shooting at the complex, Sandy Springs Fire and Code Enforcement officials accused the apartments of multiple code violations. City inspectors conducted an initial survey of the property on May 9 and gave property managers until July 25 to make required corrections. The scheduled city follow-up was delayed due to the shooting death of student Takeenen Williams. Fellow Art Institute student Patricko Mondrez Davis has been charged with murder in Williams’ death. Davis is not listed as a resident of The Hub. The follow-up inspection of The Hub was held on July 30, and city officials said they found numerous violations. “The safety and security of our students is of the utmost importance to us,” said Devra Pransky, Senior Director of Communications at The Art Institute.

“Out of an abundance of caution we have increased security at our student housing facilities and on campus. We are currently working on a plan to vacate The Hub and relocate our students.” The city said The Hub was cited for having smoke detectors that didn’t work or were missing; an out-of-date fire extinguisher; fireplaces that weren’t sealed; a locked exterior exit from the lobby; and a lack of proper paperwork to indicate a fire hydrant inspection. The apartments also were cited for code violations involving accumulated trash; having three inoperable vehicles with expired tags on the property; discharge of paint into a storm drain; loose handrails; and an unauthorized and dilapidated fence. The complex’s representatives are to appear in Sandy Springs Municipal Court on Aug. 15. The shooting and the citations follow controversy over the nature of the facility. City officials say The Hub violates the city’s zoning ordinances by operating as a dorm, not as the extended-stay hotel allowed on the property at 6096 Barfield Road. The city’s Board of Zoning Appeals upheld the city’s position. The Hub is appealing the decision to Fulton Superior Court.
