Mill Glen Pond controversy is a muddy issue By CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — It’s a muddy issue. Seven homeowners in the Mill Glen subdivision have been trying to persuade Dunwoody’s stormwater management department to solve a decades-old problem involving sediment that has been flowing into their privately owned pond. The neighbors say they are frustrated by what they say is the city’s lack of accountability in the matter, but Dunwoody officials claim they are “still reviewing the matter.” The problem, according to the homeowners, began years ago but was accelerated in 2010 when the city installed a 24-inch stormwater line to help alleviate drainage and erosion problems and crumbling infrastructure in the area. The expanded access resulted in a greater influx of water reaching the pond, along with mud and sediment being deposited at the north end of the pond. “With the erosion of the stream, continued sediment deposits from the surrounding city and county roads, and sediment deposits from new home construction over the years, resulted in soiled water draining into the pond,” an email sent to city officials May 2020 by Mill Glen resident Joan and Owen Dwoskin said. “We now have a ‘dead’ pond because the mouth of the pond has been blocked by a new ‘island’ of sediment. The volume of sediment is so high that vegetation is growing tall on the ‘island,’ eliminating any possi-

Happy New Year!
DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody High School’s wrestling team won first place at the DeKalb County Varsity Tournament Dec. 18. The victory marks the team’s third consecutive championship and its fifth title in the last six years. Head coach Luke McSorley said he is proud of their many accomplishments. “Our team goal every year is to win the DeKalb County Championship,” McSorley said. “I believe we have been successful over the years because we understand that it takes a team to win.” All 14 of the team’s competing wrestlers placed and earned team points in this year’s tournament. With five seniors graduating this year, the Wildcats aim to win the Region Dual Championship and wrestle in the State Duals in January. The team continues receiving positive feedback and support from parents and the school’s athletic administration. “The feedback from all of the par-

PUBLIC SAFETY was burglarized while she shopped at Michael’s on Perimeter Center Place Dec. 17. The victim told police she arrived at the store around 8 p.m. and spent close to two hours shopping. She said that when she returned to her car, she noticed it had been damaged, and someone had removed items. Police said they found the side rear door window had been shattered, and the glass pushed in. The woman reported the loss of a folder containing court paperwork, her and her son’s birth certificates, tax documents, medical records and her cancer medication list. The thief also took three credit cards and wrapped Christmas presents from the back seat valued at approximately $200. She said the store had no video surveillance of the parking lot. Police instructed the victim to take measures to monitor her credit accounts for illegal activity and provided her with a case number for the incident which remains under investigation. Earlier that evening, police responded
to a car break-in at a restaurant parking lot on Ashford Dunwoody Road. The vehicle owner told police he and his girlfriend had stopped at the restaurant around 8 p.m. When they returned to the parking lot, they noticed the passenger side window had been shattered. The only thing taken was the woman’s Georgia ID. The restaurant had no video monitors of the parking lot.
Police probe vandalism to public park building
DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police investigated a report of graffiti spray painted on the men’s bathroom walls at Brook Run Park on North Peachtree Road Dec. 21. The park employee who reported the vandalism told police that he noticed the graffiti when he entered the building at 7:30 that morning. He said the incident occurred overnight because there were no signs of markings the evening before. The case is being investigated as vandalism to public property.
Alpharetta woman charged with murder in quadruple Christmas Eve shooting By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Christmas Eve in Alpharetta turned deadly after an Alpharetta woman allegedly shot her partner and three others inside their apartment. Police arrested and charged Stephanie Agee, 51, with four counts of aggravated assault and one count of murder in connection with the shooting. She is being held at the Fulton County Jail without bond. According to the incident report, police were dispatched to the Mansell Apartment Homes in Alpharetta at around 4:37 p.m. The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety said they had received multiple calls about gunshots in the area of Huntington Place. “We’re saddened to inform our community that a domestic violence situation escalated, resulting in four people being shot,” the department said. “Unfortunate-
ly, one individual has passed and the other three are severely injured but in stable condition.” The victims, including 41-year-old Lashanda Lafaye Allison, her two daughters Erin and Ryan Pickett, and her niece Makayla Ridley, were taken to a nearby hospital. Allison died in the emergency room while the other three underwent surgery. Her daughters and niece range in age from 19 to 21 years old and are expected to recover. Lashanda Allison’s brother, Tyrone, started a GoFundMe Dec. 28 to help pay medical, moving and mental health expenses. He said the women were all shot multiple times and are now trying to move to their mother’s hometown in Little Rock, Arkansas. “This was so unexpected and a tragic situation, when we should have been enjoying Christmas, we are now grieving,” Tyrone wrote.

In Loving Memory of Kevin David Cowan
Pond:
April 6, 1959 - December 17, 2021 Kevin David Cowan, 62, died December 17, 2021 at Northside Hospital Atlanta with his loving wife, Cheri, son, Cappy, daughter, Sarah, and sister-inlaw, Michele, by his COWAN side. A native of Sudbury, Ontario, and resident of Toronto, Canada, Kevin met his future wife, Cheri, and moved to Fairlington, Va. in 1990. The Cowans later moved to Atlanta in 1993. Kevin started his own successful business, Cowan Construction and served the Atlanta community for more than 20 years. He was a member of the Dunwoody Community Church for more 15 years and took great joy in tutoring Hispanic children. He was a passionate storyteller with a flair for “embellishment;” a difference-maker who strove for excellence, candid debate and fairness. He enjoyed many sports, especially hockey, skiing and horseback riding. A botanical enthusiast at heart, he enjoyed the simple things, like his garden, wine and wildlife. He delighted in frequent trips to New Orleans and Toronto to visit family and friends. But in the eyes of his family, Kevin’s Lifetime Achievement Award was

for Papa of the Century for frequent and extended stays caring for Taran and Dylan, fostering unforgettable bonds with his grandbabies. Papa was a wild and goofy caregiver — as in all things, working hard and playing hard. Anticipation of Papa’s seasonal arrival was a highlight because of his quirky sense of humor that ensured that a good time would be had by all. After dinner at Swiss Chalet, the kids could depend on Papa for an endless supply of French-fried Spondulix, Ringtailed Barebum Bamboons and Ear Phipps. And as friends and families learned from Kevin, we all know that Simba was a rascal dog. He is survived by his wife Cheri Ann (Cappel) Cowan, daughter Sarah (Cowan) Steed, son Cappel David Cowan, grandsons Taran William Steed and Dylan Stephen Steed and son-in- law Grant Steed. A Celebration of Life will be held on Jan. 15, 2022 at 2 p.m. at Dunwoody Community Church, 2500 Dunwoody Club Drive, Sandy Springs, Ga. 30350, as well as a memorial service in Toronto in the warmer months of 2022 (email sarahcsteed@gmail.com for Toronto celebration-of-life details).

pump to divert the intermittent stream around the construction site. This eliminates the primary water source that could carry any sediment downstream,” Thomas said in his email. However, the residents said these efforts did little to stop the flow of sediment into the pond. An email from Joannie Dwoskin to the council last August again repeated the request for the city to address the problem, saying that the promises made by Thomas and his department were broken, and detailing how the issue has escalated. “When I complained repeatedly during the construction process that the sediment was flowing freely and repeatedly into the pond, I was referred to the city attorney. Needless to say, that was surprising and upsetting,” she said. “The city attorney then sent my correspondence to the city’s insurance company.” The homeowners retained a lawyer Nov. 25, 2020 when it became evident to them that the impasse would not be resolved. The Dwoskins said their attorney received a message March 26, 2021 from attorney Amy Cowen of Freeman Mathis & Gary, who said she represented the city through its insurance carrier. The message said that the city is not responsible for any dam-
ages caused by the installation of the stormwater drainage system. The email, obtained by the Crier, said “the evidence is clear that the City has not caused any increase in the sediment load to Mill Glen Pond sufficient to support a claim for damages under Georgia law. Additionally, the owners of Mill Glen Pond have failed to mitigate any purported damage by failing to dredge or otherwise properly maintain the pond.” The neighbors say that they remain confused and upset about what they label the city’s lack of accountability. “They destroyed it and they won’t acknowledge it, and they refused to talk to us,” said Paul Matia, whose Bend Creek Road property backs up to the creek. “The changes they have made are not helping at all.” City officials would not discuss the Mill Glen Pond issue specifically, saying, through a spokesperson, that the city is “currently reviewing the matter.” The homeowners acknowledge that the job of clearing the pond isn’t entirely the city’s responsibility but say solving the underlying issues involving the drainage is the first step to a permanent solution. They say remediation could cost upwards of $200,000, according to an estimate provided to them by McEachern Dredging. “It does us no good to clear the pond if it’s just going to fill up again with sediment,” Owen Dwoskin said. “We just want them to talk to us, acknowledge what they did was wrong and work with us to fix it.”
helped our younger wrestlers tremendously.” The Wildcats are enjoying an 11-5 dual meet record this season, including a first-place finish at the Nava Breffle Invitational and second place at the Denmark Invitational. In maintaining their
reputation of having “historically great” wrestlers, the team strives to experience several more victories before finishing the season. For more information, visit dunwoodyhs.dekalb.k12.ga.us or call 678-8748502.

U.S. NAVAL AIR STATION TATTOO MAGAZINE
A postcard of Lawson General Hospital as it looked during the war.
Recalling Christmas of 1944 at Naval Air Station Atlanta and Lawson General Hospital In 1944, the land that is now DeKalb Peachtree Airport in Chamblee was home to Naval Air Station Atlanta. Men came from all over the U.S. to train at Naval Air Station Atlanta beginning in 1941 and VALERIE women began to arBIGGERSTAFF rive in 1942 to work as link instrument trainers. Lawson General Hospital sat adjacent to Naval Air Station Atlanta, where the IRS and CDC Chamblee offices are located today. The hospital opened in April of 1941. On Christmas Eve 1944, a candlelight ceremony was held at Naval Air Station Atlanta. The WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service) formed a chorus and sang, accompanied by the organ. Chaplain R.A. Pfangle of McComb, Miss., led the group in prayer and delivered a Christmas message. A Christmas poem was read by John Hinkle, Navy flying officer from Liberty, Missouri. (Atlanta Constitution, Dec. 25, 1944, “Naval Air Station holds Yule service”) The first candles were lit by Commander William W. White, commanding officer of Naval Air Station Atlanta. The ceremony ended with the singing of “Silent Night,” while a brilliant display of blue light and the Christmas star shone overhead. On Dec. 22, 1944, the Red Cross Canteen Corps held their annual Christmas party at Lawson General Hospital, where injured soldiers were recovering. The Canteen Corps prepared and served
food to over 800 men on Dec. 22 and returned on Christmas Day to serve turkey dinners to the patients and all their visitors. (Atlanta Constitution, Dec. 24, 1944, “Hats off to Canteen Corp”) Women’s groups around Atlanta bought and wrapped presents for the patients of Lawson General Hospital, including Kappa Delta sorority alumni. (Atlanta Constitution, Dec. 17, 1944, “KD alumnae to meet”) One week before Christmas, 25-yearold D-Day hero Lt. Forest K. Ferguson was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross at the hospital. He was recognized for extraordinary heroism under fire during the invasion. Brigadier Gen. William L Sheep, commanding officer of Lawson General Hospital, presented the award to the former football star of the University of Florida. (Atlanta Constitution, Dec.25, 1944, “D-Day Hero, Former Gator, Awarded DSC”) Ferguson advanced without regard to his safety and under heavy fire to blow a wide gap into assault wire with a torpedo. He was sent to Lawson General Hospital after being struck in the head by shrapnel and wounded seriously as he approached the German lines. His citation read, “the personal bravery, initiative, and superior leadership of Lt. Ferguson under such hazardous conditions reflects great credit upon himself and was in keeping with the highest traditions of the armed forces.” The people of the communities around Naval Air Station Atlanta and Lawson General Hospital found ways to help with gifts, visits and bringing them into their homes on occasion for a friendly gathering and home-cooked meal.

Investing in residential rental properties (continued) Brought to you by – Dan Griffin at Compass, Inc For the individual investor there are three most common residential investment properties to consider. A common property investment is in a GRIFFIN single-family home, which is usually very desirable to a large pool of renters. You will find that rent is based on real estate value in the area, and you may receive more qualified and higher profile renters in a single-family home than in a multi-family dwelling. Investors specialize or prefer different type of properties, based on return on investment (ROI), quality of tenant, location and potential rental income. The small or new investor may start with lower priced single-family homes or duplexes to gain knowledge with this type
of investment. The related expenses are lower than with a small apartment building or other multi-family property. Investors also must decide if the risk is lower when investing in multiple smaller cost properties vs. a larger building. Another option is to purchase a duplex or a quadraplex. A duplex is considered a “multi-family” property, and has two units per building. Usually each side has the same floor plan with separate access and utilities. Two separate tenants occupy the building with individual leases. A duplex gives the owner the additional benefit of dual income from individual tenants. Some new investors may choose to purchase a duplex and live in one side, while simultaneously leasing the other side. In some cases, the rental income from the tenant can cover the entire monthly mortgage. For more information contact Dan Griffin at Compass, Inc. dan.griffin@ compass.com

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.

The New Luxury: A Future of Generosity Brought to you by – Cynthia Lippert, REALTOR®, Ansley Real Estate Managing Broker So far, we’ve explored how luxury has embraced a more authentic, creative, and inclusive standard. How luxury LIPPERT living has shed its pretense and redefined itself to become a truly individualized yet all-encompassing experience. As we at Ansley Real Estate illuminate the new luxury living, it will come as no surprise that at the center is an ethos of generosity, connection, and service. Giving is the New Having Social media has shone a light on how we’re using our time, our resources,
our gifts. Luxury is no longer solely defined by the cars we drive or the brands we wear, but how we live our lives in them. Through this lens we see more of the world and the issues confronting it. More importantly, we see how we can be part of the solution to problems like poverty and racism. Modern life is no longer just three-dimensional, and what we share has become more important than what we have. Luxury used to be about what we had to show for our hard work, but it’s becoming more about the work we can do for others because of what we have. The new luxury is generous. Thoughtful is the New Tasteful The world may be adapting to a culture of change after what has seemed like a prolonged season of shifting attitudes and expectations. Permanence has become a dated concept that has
been ever so stylishly replaced by the effortlessness of being in the moment. We’re less consumed by our affection of objects, and more mindful of their meaning and relevance in our lives. In a world of mass production and homogenization, we’ve returned to craving the crafted and the curated. We want our surroundings, and our lives, to tell a story, and to have deeper meaning and purpose. The new luxury is captivating. Inclusive is the New Exclusive Being mostly distanced for the last two years made us realize how important connection is to our lives. Not just to family and friends but to the people around us on any given day. We were reminded of the power of a smile, a friendly greeting, a gesture of random
kindness. We started to really see each other, even with the masks. And with a little distance some of the barriers that separated us metaphorically began to fade. Our lives have become enriched more by relationships with people from different backgrounds and cultures than with the things in our lives. The new luxury embraces diversity. As our world has adapted to the volatility and uncertainty of the last couple of years, we’ve assigned a deeper, broader meaning to luxury. One that gives as much as it acquires, does as much as it says, and prizes variety and connection as much as brands. As Ansley Real Estate continues to lead the way in luxury lifestyles, our series will explore and define what it means to live generously, authentically, and connected to a greater purpose.

Putting the pieces together in 2022 Brought to you by– Rachel Provow, HOME Real Estate, LLC. With the holiday season behind us, we reminisce on the festive gatherings with our families, friends and clients. We enjoyed visiting, sharing, and esPROVOW pecially listening to what they and their loved ones have been doing. Invariably, during our visits, the most often asked question centered around current housing market conditions and value trends. Our homes are almost always the largest single investment we have and it’s natural that people are eager to discuss how that investment is trending. We get it and
we’re always eager to provide our unique perspective. Unquestionably, Atlanta remains one of the most desirable markets in the United States and, overall, currently remains a seller’s market. At least once a day someone asks me if I believe the market is headed for a crash. The short answer is no. We will not see prices begin to fall until the housing shortage is satisfied. An extreme demand for properties is still prevalent in metro Atlanta markets. New construction communities have added to the inventory, but even with these additional communities, we still simply have more buyers than homes. Although not every neighborhood is the same, in numerous communities, it’s not uncommon to see five to ten buyers for a newly listed home that checks all
the boxes - location, schools, reputation, amenities nearby and of course, the characteristics of the home itself. In today’s market, the stress-factor can be high at both ends as sellers sift through the complexity of the bids and, for the prospective buyers, it can be frustrating and of course, disappointing for the bidders who come-up short. It isn’t always the highest bid that wins the day. With the tools available on the Internet today, both buyers and sellers are better informed than ever before and have the ability to set-up watch lists as new properties come on the market. Often, I get questions from curious searchers about houses that hit the market in their neighborhood and is there home worth a similar amount. In my role, I help analyze the information
and explain the adjustments used in property valuations in an area where some home prices appear out of kilter with other homes in the same neighborhood…sometimes even on the same street. By clarifying the data and offering guidance, we can dissect the true value of the property. To ensure success in 2022 real estate plans, it’s necessary for buyers and sellers to have a clear understanding of all the pieces of the puzzle. What makes the strongest contract, where is the real value and how to best market the property are all components that need to be addressed. As the market remains strong, staying informed is the best advice we can share and we welcome the opportunity to put the pieces together on our clients largest investments.
