OPINION

Budget battles dominate in state legislature It’s been a tough start to Georgia’s legislative session thanks to a major budget battle that’s already dominating the session.

Despite strong economic times, Georgia is in major belt-tightening mode. We’ve always been HARRELL a well managed, fiscally conservative state because we’ve purposefully underestimated our annual revenue. But now we’re facing revenue shortfalls because of a 2018 state income tax cut.

The governor’s proposed budget will mean deep cuts to critical services like mental healthcare, food inspections and public defenders. The legislative session has adjourned session until February 18 to allow House leaders time to mitigate the damage. In the meantime, I’m working on issues I know are important to you.

Healthcare Too many of my constituents are struggling to pay their high health insurance premiums and deductibles, and they’re tired of surprise bills for things they thought were covered. So, I filed SB 339, a bill to allow all Georgians, regardless of age, income or insurance status to purchase Medicaid Managed Care.

The program would be modeled after our successful Peachcare for Kids program and priced at the same cost it takes for the government to deliver the services.

With a public option, the government sets the price instead of a for-profit company, which eliminates profit motive and increases competition in the market to keep costs down for everyone, including those with private plans.

Schools Last year, the Governor vetoed a bill guaranteeing recess for our youngest students. I’ve worked on this issue for decades. Protected play time is essential for child development and learning, so I’m filing a bill to ban graded homework for students in grades K-2. This would give parents the ultimate “local control” over downtime for their kids. I’m also working on a bill to ensure that school trailers are both temporary and safe for our kids.

For our older kids, I’m working on a bill that would require colleges and universities to prorate tuition and fees for part-time students. I’m also busy educating legislators about how young adults are getting priced out of college and technical school due to rising tuition, fees, housing and books. Sadly, Georgia’s popular Dual Enrollment program, which allows high school students to earn free college credits, has been cut drastically this session, pending a final House vote.

Transit We’re all sick of sitting in traffic and we know that managed toll lanes aren’t the ultimate solution. So, I filed SR 654, a Constitutional amendment to allow Georgia’s gas tax to be used for public transit, in addition to roads and bridges. It has already opened up a productive dialogue with the Senate Transportation Committee about the need for dedicated public transit funding. I look forward to working with them on this issue.

It’s an honor to serve you in our legislature. For more frequent updates, subscribe to my weekly email at http:// sallyharrell.org/news.

Dunwoody Police launch security cameras initiative

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY — The Dunwoody Police Department has launched an initiative to make security cameras and license plate readers more efficient tools to solve and prevent crime.

The “Silent Partners” initiatives asks residents and businesses with security cameras to voluntarily register those devices at dunwoodyga.gov/silentpartners.

For security cameras, like Ring or Nest doorbell cameras, the portal only provides law enforcement with the location of registered cameras. If a crime occurs near a camera listed on the map, investigators may request video footage from a specific time period to look for suspicious cars, people or other evidence.

Cooperation with any request is voluntary. Only law enforcement personnel have access to the portal, and police can only access the video footage if the camera owner grants permission.

“In the past, we would have to canvas an area and go door-to-door to look for surveillance video that might help solve a case,” Chief Billy Grogan said. “Silent Partners streamlines the process by providing the location of cameras. We still have to ask for and receive permission before accessing the data.”

License Plate Readers (LPRs) work differently than security cameras. Most license plate readers take still photos and record data from the photo, like the license plate number and the make, model or color of the car.

The Dunwoody Police Department already uses about 20 fixed LPRs in hightraffic areas to capture images of license plates and to identify stolen vehicles, stolen tags and wanted suspects. Several businesses, apartment complexes and neighborhood groups have installed their own LPRs. Unlike security cameras, police can connect with registered LPRs directly and receive real-time alerts when a license plate associated with a stolen vehicle or wanted person passes the camera. This allows officers to respond right away and possibly prevent a crime.

“Last year, we decided to invest in a license plate reader for the front of our neighborhood, and we found that it makes a big difference,” said Dino Sammarco, Ashford Chase Homeowners Association president, in a video promoting the Silent Partners initiative. “It gives the police some additional tools to help protect our families. I think it’s been a smart investment.”

Flock Safety and Vigilant Solutions are two popular LPR providers. Pricing usually starts around $2,000 a year.

Georgia Power Lighting Services also offers a program called SiteView.

According to Flock Safety, neighborhoods that install cameras see a 30 to 50 percent reduction in crime. Dunwoody Police have already seen success using LPRs as an investigative tool and want to grow their ability to do so.

“We’re looking forward to working with the community to build up this program,” Chief Grogan said. “This takes community policing to a new and important level.”

Dunwoody is one of several Metro Atlanta cities using security cameras and LPRs as law enforcement tools.

Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Acworth, Marietta, Milton, John Creek and Kennesaw have developed similar programs, further incentivizing the technology.

“Criminals are going to go where the low hanging fruit is,” Johns Creek Police Chief Ed Densmore said. “If everybody surrounding us ends up using these tools and we don’t, we’re exposing ourselves. That’s just a fact.”

However, for some these technologies also raise concerns about privacy and a ‘surveillance state.’ To reassure skeptics, Dunwoody says the silent partners portal is voluntary, confidential, and only accessible by law enforcement personnel for crime prevention or investigation purposes.

State of the Union falls short of addressing medication pricing crises

Join the Rotary Club of Dunwoody at Marlow’s Tavern in Dunwoody Village February 20 5:30 to 7:30 pm Enjoy a snack and beverage of your choice and learn more about the work we do as part of a 1.2 million-member worldwide service organization to make our community and the world a better place.

I’ll be attending the State of the Union Tuesday night as a guest of Rep. Lucy McBath. Among many things he will say that night, I expect President Trump to tout his “terrific plans” to help us afford our medications. But as a doctor and a patient, I know that in three years we’ve made zero progress on controlling runaway drug prices, and the suffering of patients goes unchecked.

While we can all be grateful for recent innovations in prescription drugs to treat cancer, the cost of these drugs is so astronomical that patients, like my father, become hostage to a system that cares more about profit than patients.

My father was prescribed Revlimid to treat his cancer, at a cost of almost $15,000 a month. The annual cost of my father’s three-drug treatment regimen was over $250,000 a year.

Because my father had saved all his life, he was not eligible for any help paying for this medication though he was far from rich. In fact, he had less savings

OPINION because, until the passage of the Affordable Care Act, he had been forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars keeping me alive since my insurance often did not cover my pre-existing genetic disorder. Now my father needed money for his medication, and we dipped into our savings again. As he struggled for his life, he worried about how much money he would be able to leave my mother and considered just going on hospice.

Medicare Part D, created in 2003, explicitly prohibits Medicare from negotiating drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. As a result, Americans pay far higher prices for medications than any other country. Revlimid, for example, costs four times more in the United States than it does in England. Its manufacturer, Celgene, sued to prohibit a generic version of the drug (that costs only $200 a month) from being available in America.

We are in a healthcare crisis of our own making. In September 2019, House Democrats introduced HR 3, The Lower Drug Costs Now Act, to negotiate prices on some of the most expensive and most essential medications covered by Medicare, including Revlimid. Senate Republicans led by Mitch McConnell immediately said

they wouldn’t consider any bill involved in “price-fixing,” and though President Trump initially welcomed the initiative, he has since rejected the proposal.

These medications are the difference between life and death. And, as in my father’s case, their price tag is so high that sometimes death seems the more reasonable choice. My father was not alone in considering death over medical bills. Suicides and homicides have been reported when patients realize that either they or their loved ones cannot afford their medications. A reasonable and humane plan to control drug prices is sitting on Mitch McConnell’s desk. If President Trump and the Republicans wanted to do something to help cancer patients, they could bring it to the floor.

If I get a chance on Tuesday night, I’ll be sure to ask them to do just that.

The two-story, unpainted farmhouse at Donaldson-Bannister Farm is shown as it looked before Lois Pattillo Bannister’s remodel to convert the home to Colonial Revival style. A new barn is under construction to the side of the house.

PAST TENSE

The Bannister of Donaldson-Bannister Farm

“A laughout-loud farce!”

NOW SELLING! | GET.ORG | 770.641.1260

This article is the second in a series about the owners of Donaldson-Bannister Farm, as we celebrate 150 years for the farm. Last time, I shared history of the Donaldson family.

The next owner is VALERIE Bannister, Lois PatBIGGERSTAFF tillo Bannister.

Lois Pattillo was born in Gwinnett County in 1892 to Jack and Laura Wilson Pattillo. Lois had two siblings, John Ray and Mary Jimmie. Her father started Pattillo Lumber Company in 1895 while they were living in Gwinnett County.

By 1910, the Pattillo family lived at

137 Elizabeth Street in Inman Park.

Their home was designed by Francis Palmer Smith, a well-known architect in Atlanta and head of the Georgia Tech Architecture School. This fact became significant later when Lois Pattillo purchased the Donaldson home.

As a girl growing up in Inman Park, Lois Pattillo was in a social and philanthropic club called Inman Girls. Her name appeared occasionally in the newspaper social column as a guest at parties and dances. After high school, she attended Agnes Scott College.

Lois Pattillo was a golfer in the 1920s, playing in the 1924 Atlanta Women’s Golf Association tournament.

The first round of the tournament was

See FARM, Page 9

Farm: Continued from Page 8 played at the Brookhaven Country Club.

(Atlanta Constitution, May 4, 1924) In 1917, she married Jesse Joe Neer, but he died at the age of 35 in 1921. She married John Hill in 1925, but he tragically died just six years later.

When the Donaldson farm was divided into sections and auctioned off in 1932, Pattillo had returned to her maiden name. She initially bought the home and 26 acres as a summer home, keeping her Peachtree Circle home in Atlanta where she had lived with John Hill.

Pattillo hired the same architect who had designed her parents’ home, Francis Palmer Smith, to design a Colonial Revival style remodel for the farmhouse.

She had the barn and caretaker’s house built, which are still on the property.

Pattillo also had a boxwood garden installed. This included a large brick wall with a fountain and a garden of boxwoods, peonies, and paths. The brick wall still stands today.

Pattillo used rock from a quarry off Vermack Road to have a swimming pool built into the creek just east of the home. There was a bath house with two changing rooms and picnic tables.

COMMUNITY For more on the pool, go to thecrier.net and look for the August 9, 2019 Past Tense.

Lois Pattillo married two more times.

She married James Mansfield Davis in 1935. That marriage ended in divorce.

In 1937, she married Leland Bannister, a salesman for Georgia Power Company who lived on Chamblee Dunwoody Road.

In 1940, Lois Pattillo’s 75-year-old parents were also living in the Dunwoody home with their daughter. The Bannisters also had a foster son named Marcus C. Wood who lived with them. He later shared some of his memories with Vivian Price Saffold, DeKalb County historian. Wood said the Bannisters traded the farm for a home on Woodward Way in Buckhead in 1942.

Lois Pattillo Bannister died in 1959 and is buried at Westview Cemetery in Atlanta, alongside her parents. Her nieces came to Donaldson-Bannister Farm later and gave a collection of photographs to the Smith family, who owned the property at that time. Bonnie Smith Nichols shared the photographs with Dunwoody Preservation Trust.

These photos document how the house and farm looked prior to and during the changes made by Lois Pattillo.

Bob quit high school, lied about his

age and joined the navy in 1944 during World War II. He was a crew member on the USS Lanier and participated in the occupation of Iwo Jima, the invasion of Okinawa and the landing of the first US troops on Japanese soil at Yokosuka, Japan. The troop landing took place after Japan’s surrender but before the Peace Treaty was signed. He was present in Tokyo Bay for the formal signing of the Peace Treaty and took part in the occupation of Nagasaki.

After the war, Bob moved to St. Louis where he resumed his education at Washington University. His work later took him to Dallas where he graduated from SMU.

The roaring inflationary twenties?

On the first trading day of the new year, Jan. 2, 2020, the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq indexes hit all-time highs.

Given holdover optimism from equity perLewis J. Walker, CFP strong formance in 2019, pundits suggested we’re headed into another “roaring ’20s.”

Maybe so, but we’d best hope it’s not a reprise of the period from Jan. 1, 1920 to Dec. 31, 1929, which began with a deflationary slump!

Per inflationdata.com, “inflation in 1920 was a deflationary -1.55 percent.”

The entire decade was a struggle to recover from the devastation and inflation engendered by WWI. When Warren Harding took office as the 29th president in 1921, prices dropped by over 11 percent. Harding died in 1923, succeeded

by Calvin Coolidge. After Harding’s death, several scandals came to light, including Teapot Dome, a bribery fiasco involving oil leases at a military reserve,

and an extramarital affair. In historical rankings, Harding often is rated as one of our worst presidents. Coolidge was a pro-business conservative who favored tax cuts and limited government spending, polices criticized as contributing to the Great Depression and crash that started in 1929. May the past not be prologue!

Noted inflationdata.com: “One of the primary reasons the 1920s are considered ‘roaring’ is due to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, ‘The Great Gatsby,’ which illustrated the lives of the rich but did not reflect the everyday lives of the average family. It was a great time to be rich as tax rates were coming down and investors enjoyed a booming stock market.” History repeats. “The rich doing well while the middle class gets clobbered…” A sound bite from a Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren rally?

While the new decade technically won’t begin until Jan. 1, 2021, nevertheless we start the next 10-year period with inflation quite low, with All-Items U.S. CPI at 2.1 percent and interest rates at low levels. On Jan. 2, the Wall Street Journal ran a series of outlook

opinions from respected “bond gurus.”

Low to negative interest rates may be damaging the economy, said the legendary Bill Gross. “Pension funds, insurance companies, and any financed-base structure with long liabilities are slowly being strangled because they cannot earn their assumed return.” Senior citizen savers aren’t happy with low returns, either.

Elaine Stokes, Loomis Sayles & Co. portfolio manager, opined, “We have to find a different way to spur growth. That might just be going back to good old fashioned spending. I’m in the camp that inflation is something we’re going to see in the next decade but not in the first half of it.”

Likely over the next 10 years is more government borrowing and spending ─ infrastructure, climate change initiatives, bailouts, benefit increases, “free stuff.” The mantra may be, “Damn the deficits, full speed ahead.” Inflation has been constrained by technology and changes in buying habits, but all trends run their course in terms of meaningful effect. Once the inflationary ball gets rolling, there’s a tendency to overshoot, perplexing the “wise men” who think they can micromanage our economy.

Two percent inflation could go to 3 percent, then 5, then… In April, 1980, U. S. 12-month annual inflation peaked at 14.7 percent. No one foresees a repeat of the inflationary 1970s, but your long-range investment planning should consider increased inflation and erosion of future buying power. We’ll also see ups-and-downs in stock, bond, and hard asset investment markets that accompany changing economic trends.

A number of prognosticators expect stocks and bonds to deliver belowaverage returns for the next five to ten years. What’s done well on autopilot, including tech-weighted big capitalization stocks that have propelled passive index investing for the last several years, may not fare as well going forward. Surveys of advisers show growing interest in increased allocations to active management, looking at less loved diversifications, including emerging markets, international stocks, value stocks and reliable dividend payers, small- to midcap stocks, micro-cap stocks, real estate.

Diversification and personal risk-weighted portfolios will be more important as trends shift.

Writer and syndicated newspaper columnist Bill Vaughn, 1915-1977, wrote, “Some idea of inflation comes from seeing a youngster get his [her] first job at a salary you dreamed of as the culmination of your career.” Retirees, compare what you paid for your first car and for what you drive now. That’s inflation.

Inflation is when your annual tax bill exceeds what you made in your first job.

The INK PENN

What to do for Valentine’s Day? One thing we won’t be doing for Valentine’s Day this year is going out to eat.

This holiday is supposedly the busiest night for dinner out no matter what day of the week it falls on, and when it lands on KATHY a Friday or Saturday, MANOS PENN watch out. Chances are I’ll cook a nice dinner at home. Then again, most of the dinners I fix are nice, just not fancy.

As for gifts, who knows? We’ve long since reached the stage where gifts are not expected and are a pleasant surprise when they’re given. These days, when one of us sees something we want, if it’s within reason, we buy it. If it’s not within reason, then we don’t need it as a gift. And, we both know what we like better than anyone else does.

That means when I want new jewelry, it works out better if I choose it myself — not that I need another piece of jewelry. The same goes for clothes. What can I never have enough of? Books. I can always use more books, but it’s hard for my husband to keep track of what I have or haven’t read when I can hardly keep track myself.

For Christmas, my generous husband gave me gift certificates for DSW, Chico’s, and Barnes & Noble. Isn’t it funny that even though the funds all come from the same place, paying for something with a gift certificate seems different? Somehow more special?

I managed to use one of them when I went shopping with a girlfriend on New Year’s Day while our husbands watched football. I didn’t have anything particular in mind, but I had my certificates with me. When we walked in DSW, I said I couldn’t think of any shoes I needed.

How serendipitous that I stumbled across yet another pair of red shoes I couldn’t live without. I already have two

From left, Zach Amacher, Lynne Byrd, Queenie Ross, Amie Amacher and Danny Ross are among the inaugural members of the Dunwoody Preservation Trust Volunteer Hall of Fame.

Preservation Trust begins Volunteer Hall of Fame DUNWOODY, Ga. — At an award ceremony at its recent annual board meeting open to all members, the directors of the Dunwoody Preservation Trust inducted the inaugural members of its new Volunteer Hall of Fame.

Honorees included: Trust founders Lynne Byrd and Joyce Amacher (in memoriam, with her son Zach Amacher accepting on her behalf) and co-presidents Danny and Queenie Ross, who followed them and were responsible for laying the foundation of the organization.

Founded in 1994 by volunteers, the Dunwoody Preservation Trust was an all-volunteer organization until hiring its first paid staff in 2016. The staff is small, and the organization is still heavily dependent on volunteers.

In 2019, the organization’s Board

of Directors voted to create the DPT Volunteer Hall of Fame to award formal recognition to exemplary volunteers who have used their time and talent beyond the expected to grow and nurture the organization.

“Volunteers are the foundation, heart and soul of the Dunwoody Preservation Trust,” said newly elected President MJ Thomas. “We simply could not exist without them.”

The Dunwoody Preservation Trust is a nonprofit committed to the preservation of the history, heritage and quality of life of the Dunwoody community. It owns and manages the circa 1906 Cheek-Spruill House, Dunwoody’s signature building at the corner of Mt. Vernon and Chamblee Dunwoody roads, and manages the circa 1870 Donaldson-Bannister Farm, a public park and private event venue owned by the City of Dunwoody.

pairs of red winter shoes, but these were Sperry topsiders for the spring.

I also have a birthday in January.

You can see the gift-buying season is never-ending at our house, at least for my poor husband. That’s why I asked for two very specific things for my birthday.

Christmas before last, he gave me a CD player for my office. This year it stopped working, and after much back and forth with the manufacturer, I found a local repair place for it — in Suwanee. As one birthday gift, I asked that my husband take the CD player to have it repaired.

The second gift I requested was a map. That’s right. I’ve created a fictional Cotswolds village for the cozy mystery series I’m writing, and I asked him to draw a map of the village for me. I’m not spatial at all. Neither can I draw. I sketched out a barely legible version of what goes where and distances, and he drew it to scale.

I can’t help him out for Valentine’s Day, as I can’t think of any other special requests. He hasn’t asked for anything other than a pony in years, and you can rest assured, he’s not getting one of those. Since his joking refrain whenever we’re going out is, “I don’t have anything to wear,” it’s possible I may take him shopping on Valentine’s to pick out some new clothes. Does he need any? Maybe, maybe not, but at least he’ll come home with something he likes.

Heck, if we go shopping Valentine’s Day, maybe we can time it to come home with takeout for dinner. That’s it, takeout food and a movie from Amazon Prime for the two of us. Quite the romantic evening, don’t you think?

SPORTS

Holy Innocents’ enjoying winter postseason success

By DUNN NEUGEBAUER For the Crier DUNWOODY, Ga. — Holy Innocents’ winter athletics programs, including swim and dive, wrestling and basketball, fared well in postseason play last week.

The Aqua Bears competed at the GHSA swim and dive state championship meet last week at Georgia Tech and racked up three individual state titles.

Junior diver Spencer Pearson got the momentum rolling for the program Thursday by capturing his second consecutive state championship. Pearson compiled an impressive 530 points to take first in the Class A-3A division, and his score was second overall in all classifications.

On Saturday, Abby Pilkenton won state titles in both the 100- and 200-freestyle, which marked the third straight season of the senior standing atop the podium in both events. The N.C. state commit has earned six titles with Holy Innocents’ and will join the collegiate level with All-American status and a national title with her club swim squad.

In other winter sports, the wrestling team will send ten athletes to the traditional state meet this Thursday through Saturday in Macon. Coach Stacey Davis had three wrestlers — Art Martinez, Jake Swink, and Michael Cox — earn sectional titles last weekend at Bremen High School. Last season, Swink became the first freshman wrestler to win a state title for the Bears.

DAN GRIFFIN REALTOR / BROKER

Cox finished runner-up and Martinez was fourth.

James Gleeson finished second in his weight class, and other Holy Innocents’ qualifiers include Rhett Sherk, Reagan Sherk, Robert McDonald, Izzy Evans, Tyler White and Charlie King.

Eric Maye will go to the state meet as an alternate.

In basketball, the girls hoops team faced rival Wesleyan in the Region 5-A finals Monday, Feb. 10. The game was originally scheduled for Feb. 8 and was not completed in press time.

The Bears advanced with lopsided wins over Elite Scholars Academy and Trinity Christian to advance to the region title game. Jillian Hollingshead came up big in both games, scoring in double figures while racking up re-

bounds. Jada Farrell and Rachel Suttle also stepped up, and 11 different Golden Bears players scored against Trinity Christian.

The boys program did not fare as well. Coach Cabral Huff’s squad fell 61-49 to Trinity Christian in the region quarterfinals despite strong performances from Garrison Powell and Justin Wilson. The boys now await the final GHSA Power Rankings to determine if they will earn a berth in the state tournament.

The All-Region 5-A basketball teams were also announced last week.
