Hundreds rally against racism, police brutality

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Chants of “Black lives matter!” and “What do we want?

Justice!” mixed with a cacophonous chorus of car horns along Ashford Dunwoody Road on June 2.

A line of several hundred protesters started in front of City Hall and stretched two blocks south to Meadow Lane. The crowd was a mix of all races, though noticeably skewed younger.

Their signs called for an end to racism and read the names of victims of police violence: Eric Gardner, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd.

Floyd died May 25 in Minneapolis when then police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck

for eight minutes, as captured on video.

Chauvin has been charged with thirddegree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Three other officers involved in the death have been fired and charged with abetting second-degree murder.

Protests erupted across the county over the following weekend, largely peaceful but with instances of looting and rioting in some cities including Atlanta. Dunwoody’s June 2 protests ran from around 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. without violence, vandalism or arrests.

“I walked up and down that line making sure nobody was standing in the street, making sure nobody was using profanity in front of the kids, making sure everybody stayed hydrated, mak-

Tilly Mill Road bike lane project moves forward with higher budget

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Plans to improve bike and pedestrian connectivity around Georgia State University’s Dunwoody campus may cost the city more than originally expected.

In March 2019, the City Council approved a $790,000 contact to construct sidewalk and bicycle lanes on Tilly Mill Road between the campus and North Peachtree Road. Prolonged negotiations between the city’s sidewalk contrac-

tors, Georgia Development Partners, and Georgia Power delayed work on the project.

At its June 1 meeting, the council unanimously approved increasing the amount available for the project to $850,000, reflecting an updated contract with Georgia Development Partners. The costs of the project are covered by sales tax revenue, mostly left over from previous years.

Staff noted surplus funds from the Roberts Drive improvement project could cover additional costs. The Tilly Mill

project is expected to begin construction this month and be completed next spring. The new sidewalk and bike lane will complete a half mile of connectivity from Womack Road to North Peachtree.

In other business at the June 1 meeting, the council continued its discussion on allowing bicyclists of all ages to ride on sidewalks.

Georgia law only allows bicycles to travel on sidewalks if the rider is 12 years old or younger. However, city ordinances can supersede the state law if cities choose to allow older bicyclist, City

Attorney Bill Riley explained.

Dunwoody does not have such an ordinance, but at a May 11 meeting, Councilman Joe Seconder kicked off a conversation for making a change.

The draft ordinance presented June 1 would allow bicyclists of all ages to ride on sidewalks on roads with speed limits greater than 25 miles per hour and where no physically separated bicycle facilities exist.

The ordinance would require bicy-

ing sure everybody was being respectful to the police,” protest organizer Lydia Singleton said. “It was a lot of work, but we need leaders, so I appointed myself to be one.”

Singleton is a musician, makeup artist and activist who grew up in Dunwoody and now lives in Doraville. She said she was motivated to organize the protest by her faith and her experiences growing up in Dunwoody.

“I experienced so much racism and prejudice growing up,” she said. “It just hung so heavy in the air in Dunwoody that it’s hard to think back on good memories of my childhood. We got it from everywhere: the kids at school, the teachers, the principals, police officers, the people that I worked for.”

Singleton said she could recall incidents of neighbors calling police on her family just for walking around their subdivision or waiting at a bus stop.

Incidents like these made her childhood traumatic, she said, but she is working to turn the pain into a positive force for change.

“God’s love calls us to forgive,” she said. “You have to forgive and heal in order to be a catalyst for change.”

Earlier this year, Singleton worked with Dunwoody Police to organize a community seminar that answered questions like how to behave in a traffic stop and what to do if you are racially profiled. She said her relationship with the city’s police officers laid the groundwork for ensuring Tuesday’s protest remained peaceful.

While some police departments have responded with riot gear, tear gas and rubber bullets, there was none of that in Dunwoody on Tuesday afternoon. Dunwoody Police Chief Billy Grogan issued a statement saying he stands with the protestors and condemns the actions of the officers involved in Floyd’s death.

“Officers from our department have interacted with the organizers and protesters to let them know we stand with them against police brutality and racism

In 2019, Dunwoody Police officers had 103 uses of force in 70 different incidents, or 3.13 percent of the 2,201 arrests made that year.

While Dunwoody has taken several steps recommended by policy experts to reduce police violence, nationwide police killings have increased in suburban areas since 2013, according to a study by FiveThirtyEight.

Singleton said it was important to bring the movement to the suburbs, and that she has received calls from many looking to host a demonstration in their own city. The state capital may be downtown, she said, but in addition to changing the laws, you have to change the hearts of parents and teachers who are raising future generations.

“Racism is deeply rooted,” Singleton said. “It is going to take more than a month to get rid of this. It’s going to take

years … I am hoping for change and I am praying for new leadership, people who love black lives, who love people of color, and who are going to teach the next generation to love and not hate.”

While Tuesday’s protests were peaceful, Dunwoody Police have issued warnings asking residents to stay at home at night and avoid areas that may be targets for looters, such as Perimeter Mall.

“While I applaud the peaceful protesters standing outside our department today, I must condemn those looters and rioters who are using the tragic death of George Floyd as an opportunity to wreak havoc in many communities across our country,” Grogan said. “The destruction and burning of buildings, the looting of property and the violence against the police and innocent civilians must stop.”

Singleton said she understands how protesters can become violent, but that is why positive leadership is so needed.

“In order for us to be able to keep doing these protests, keep raising awareness, keep showing up for black lives, we have to be safe and healthy,” she said.

“We can’t get arrested. We have to do things by the letter of the law. We have to be smarter.”

My Eyes are Dry but I Don't Want to See My Eye Doctor Yet - What About Telemedicine?

By: Christopher Easley, Medical Optometrist

In these uncertain times, many patients are continuing to experience the symptoms of dry eyes but hesitate to seek office consultation with their eye care physicians. Telemedicine has provided a platform for patients to seek quick and efficient guidance for their treatment, although it does have certain limitations. This article is intended to discuss the role telemedicine plays in the treatment of dry eye disease.

---------------------------First, understanding the limitations of telemedicine is paramount. Telemedicine consists of either a video chat or phone call with a patient. These types of communication facilitate the discussion of symptoms and allow the doctor to correlate them to disease processes such as dry eye disease.

Symptoms of dry eye disease typically include irritation, grittiness, foreign body sensation, scratchiness, burning, stinging, excess tearing, blurred vision, eye fatigue, and light sensitivity. The difficulty of diagnosing dry eye disease based upon symptoms alone is that many of these symptoms can also occur with various other ocular diseases. When any of these symptoms are severe, an in-office consultation is warranted.

To formally diagnose dry eye disease, physicians need to evaluate ocular signs. Clinical office examination of these signs before initiating treatment allows the physician to observe for improvement throughout the course of treatment to ascertain whether or not a particular treatment is effective.

Signs of dry eye disease include, but are not limited to: reduced tear break up time, reduced tear meniscus, increased tear meniscus, corneal keratitis, conjunctival irritation, blepharitis, poor meibomian gland expression, telangiectasia of the eyelids, debris and/or collerettes on the eyelashes, conjunctival injection, and poor blink dynamics. The video chat will allow your doctor to grossly examine external ocular tissues and/or function, as well as gauge your severity; however, the best way to observe these signs is by in-office slit lamp biomicroscopy. Slit lamp biomicroscopy provides the doctor with the proper magnification to see the signs of dry eye disease.

Another limitation of telemedicine in the treatment of dry eye disease is the inability to check eye pressure. Topical corticosteroid therapy may be indicated as a treatment for dry eye disease. Although effective, there is the possibility for ocular side effects associated with topical corticosteroid therapy, such as elevated eye pressure, steroid induced glaucoma, and cataract formation. It is typically suggested that a patient’s eye pressure be monitored when using topical corticosteroids.

Although there are limitations in eye care, telemedicine has provided patients a quick way to seek care from the safety and comfort of their home.

In these uncertain times, our patients safety is our number one concern and we have made it a priority to ensure patients can be seen virtually online via a telemedicine appointment or in our offices by providing a safe and secure environment. We have implemented new safety protocols that include temperature checks, social distancing, a virtual check-in, air purfiers in all exam rooms , and pre-surgery testing for COVID-19 to ensure all risks are minimized.

OBITUARY DICKSON, Bunnell Traynor “Bunne,” 73, passed away at her home on May 30, 2020. She was born on October 26, 1946 in Memphis, Tennessee, the beloved DICKSON daughter and only child of Awlena Bunnell Traynor (“Mere”). Bunne resided in Dunwoody since 1977.

Bunne attended the Miss Hutchison School for Girls and then Central High School, where she graduated in 1964 before attending Memphis State University. She met her husband, John, in the spring of 1967 and they wed on June 3, 1967 after a six week courtship.

Bunne poured her heart into her family and devoted her time to volunteering at her children’s schools. She served in countless roles, including serving on the board of Mount Vernon Presbyterian School for several years, which is where her children attended lower school.

Bunne was artistic in many ways, but her needlepoint creations were unparalleled. She completed hundreds of pieces, including beautiful Christmas stockings for each of her grandchildren and several pieces that were displayed at competitions and received awards.

She never met a stranger and she

left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. She had a heart of gold, a beautiful smile, and a wonderful laugh. She will be remembered for her sense of humor, her enormous sunglasses, her colorful reading glasses, and her love of animals, especially her Himalayans.

Bunne is preceded in death by her mother and her grandparents, George and Lucille Bunnell (“Georgie” and “Teal”), all of Memphis, Tennessee. The four of them were extremely close and are reunited for the first time in almost forty years.

Bunne is survived by her best friend and loving husband of 53 years, John Dickson; son Trey Dickson (Tasha); daughter Holly McMillan (Kirk); grandchildren Maria and Johnny Dickson, and Charlotte, Harper, Henry and James McMillan; as well as many other friends and family, including her caregivers, Maria and Annie, who loved her deeply and cared for her like family.

A service will be held at H.M. Patterson & Son-Arlington Chapel, 173 Allen Road NE, Sandy Springs, GA 30328 on Sunday July 19, 2020 at 4pm. A party, per Bunne’s request, will immediately follow at her home in Dunwoody. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Bunne’s name to the American Stroke Association (www.stroke.org) or to a no-kill animal rescue organization.

THE INK PENN

Drive-thru hip surgery Picture a rainy morning in Georgia.

The hubby and I are up at 4 a.m. for a 5:15 arrival at St. Joseph’s for his hip replacement surgery.

The streets are wet, dark and eerily quiet when we depart the KATHY house at 4:45. We MANOS PENN pass a solitary deer and a group of four before we get to the end of our street and another two strolling on their own on Mt. Vernon.

We see a few other cars only when we get to the Peachtree Dunwoody underpass near the hospital—you know the spot, right? The intersection that’s been under construction seemingly forever, the place where traffic backs up no matter what time of day. Not today.

I turn into St. Joseph’s at 5:10 and proceed to the orthopedic wing, where I drop the hubby off. That’s right. I drop him off. I could get out of the car, escort him in, wearing my mask, and be handed a piece of paper with contact information, but I can’t wait for him. The waiting room isn’t open, and no one is allowed to wait inside as prep, surgery and recovery take place. Instead, he goes in and returns with the information I need. At 5:15, I’m headed home, and it seems fitting that “Eleanor Rigby” is playing on the Beatles channel, it’s refrain, “All the lonely people,” appropriate for the times. With no traffic, I’m home by 5:40. I encounter a bit more traffic and a herd of three deer on the way.

I think to myself, “This experience is worthy of a column.” I have visions of going back to bed, but after several cups of coffee, I’m not drowsy. I lie down to read, hoping my kindle will send me off to sleep. I turn off the bedside lamp around 6:45, and the first call from the hospital comes at 7:45. “Your husband asked me to call when his surgery started. It just did. The next call will be from the doctor.”

I roll over and try again. The call from the doctor comes at 8:48. “This is Dr. Hanna. Everything went well. Recovery should take about three hours.”

Okay, I think, do I attempt one more time to snooze? The dog and cat raise their heads, but they’re not getting up, so I give it another try, thinking I have until at least 10:30.

The phone rings at 9:30, and I think, “Already?” This time it’s the recovery nurse with instructions for once I get the patient home. The hubby is awake, drinking soda, and eating crackers, and the nurse assures me the information she’s about to convey will be in the booklet I get when I pick him up, and I should expect another call telling me to hit the road in about 45 minutes.

So here I sit as I await the final call, writing about what I guess is the new normal of elective surgery. Could this become a “thing?” Drive-up or drivethru surgery? To quote Bob Dylan, “The times, they are a-changin.’”

Council Board selects New York educator as finalist for school superintendent

Continued from Page 1

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — The DeKalb County Board of Education announced June 4 that Cheryl Watson-Harris is the new sole finalist in its search for a superintendent.

Watson-Harris serves as First Deputy Chancellor for the New York City Department of Education, the largest school district in the country.

She has 26 years of experience in large urban school districts, as a teacher, principal, network superintendent and senior executive.

“Cheryl Watson-Harris is part of the next generation of outstanding leaders in public education,” DeKalb County Board Chair Marshall Orson said.

Watson-Harris is the second candidate put forward for the superintendent spot this year. The DeKalb County School Board withdrew its support of Rudy Crew on May 11 after public opposition mounted over controversies from Crew’s former leadership posts.

Orson said Watson-Harris fits the profile developed through community input. She has experience leading large, diverse, urban districts and has dem-

onstrated dedication to high levels of academic achievement, commitment to equity for all students and an ability to plan with a long-term vision, he said.

“Throughout my career as an education leader, I have made it my priority to ensure every child has access to highquality education and is prepared for successful citizenship in our fast-paced 21st century global community,” Watson-Harris said. “I believe the public-school system is the heart and soul of our country.”

A New York City native, WatsonHarris began her career as an elementary school teacher in Brooklyn. After earning a master’s degree from Harvard, she served as an assistant principal and principal in Boston, becoming the youngest principal in the history of the Boston Public Schools.

After serving as a network superintendent, she moved back to her hometown of Brooklyn to serve on the central leadership team of the New York City Department of Education. There, she designed the new school support and supervision structure for 1,600 schools and led the creation of the Comprehensive School Support Model.

“I am passionate and excited about

working with our district employees, our parents and caregivers, and the local business and corporate community to develop district practices that are impactful and equitable for children,” she said. “I am confident my experience in district restructuring and the equitable allocation of resources, as well as my achievements in improving school performance, can help DeKalb Schools continue to move in the right direction.”

Georgia law mandates that school districts must wait 14 days before finalizing an agreement with a new superintendent. During this period, WatsonHarris will meet remotely with district employees and community members.

A town hall will be live on the district website and via broadcast on DSTV 24 on Thursday, June 11 at 6:30 p.m. To submit questions for the town hall meeting with Watson-Harris, call 678-676-0722 or email dcsdsupesearch@dekalbschoolsga.org.

Watson-Harris will be able to sign a contract with the DeKalb County School District after the public input period and formally assume the role of superintendent on July 1. Superintendent Ramona Tyson will continue to lead the district until Watson-Harris officially steps in.

clists, skateboarders and roller skaters to yield right of way to pedestrians, give an audible signal before passing a pedestrian, and not ride in a manner that would constitute an unreasonable danger to other travelers.

Seconder pointed out that a public awareness campaign of these rules and bicycle courtesy would be essential.

Councilman Jim Riticher requested that the ban on bicycling on sidewalks with roads less than 25 miles per hour be removed, saying it would create confusion and that some slow roads still have heavy vehicle traffic.

Councilman Tom Lambert agreed with Riticher’s suggestion and raised a question about who has the rightof-way when a car is pulling out of a driveway. The city staff said that would be clarified by the next meeting.

One public commenter spoke in favor of the amendment.

“First of all, I’m in complete support of the complete streets plan that the City Council has been working on for a number of years,” David Bolocan said. “I’ve seen a lot of improvement there. I think this amendment would support the Solution complete streets plan.”

Learning and remembering lessons from the pandemic Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.

We must be over the rainbow.

It feels like things have changed. I am not sure when I realized it. It was just something that RAY APPEN occurred to me over Publisher Emeritus ray@appenmediagroup.com the past couple days. All my life, I have been a slow learner. If I had more sense, I would simply observe what the friends around me have figured out and then know that I will be in the same place — in the same space — at some point soon.

It is sort of like when you realize, despite how young you feel inside, that yes, you actually are old now and in the second half or last third of life. Boy, that is sort of hard to write. “Why?” I wonder.

This pandemic has changed things or has been a catalyst for change. It has been something that has progressively “set in” for most of us. Around early March, we all knew or suspected that we were entering uncharted territory. Then, things just seemed to evolve from day to day — similar to the upheaval we now see in the streets sparked by the death of George Floyd.

We gradually came to understand that each day would probably not bring closure. We then discovered that we were personally involved. We realized that “this” was not just an isolated “event.” It was, in fact, a process.

We found ourselves inside a whirling tornado — just like in the Wizard of Oz — and there wasn’t a lot we could do to control where we landed or when the chaos would stop.

This realization has not been very comforting.

Most of us tend to go through life assuming that bad things sometimes happen to people, but those people are usually “other” people, not me. Then something happens eventually to us — like this pandemic — or to someone close to us, and a light bulb goes off, and we are forced to admit that we don’t have a “get out of jail free” card, that we are not exempt, that our lives are really no different than anyone else’s in things that matter.

It is the “personal” part of this pandemic that, I think, has finally registered with me and probably to many of you. Our status quo has been disrupted — not someone else’s.

Most of us have short memories.

We frequently behave like an alcoholic

who successfully goes through the agony of withdrawal, only to, a short time later, relapse into the same behavior that caused the pain. We seem to be hardwired to need order, consistency and predictability, and this leads us to quickly forget or ignore anything that disrupts or interferes with this need.

I wonder if we will retain or remember anything related to what we personally are going through right now with this pandemic and ,after it passes, if we will change any of our behavior, our attitudes, or our values. Or, will we simply default back to our comfortable prepandemic status quo. My instinct tells me, unfortunately, that we will quickly move on and go back to how we were before. I hope not.

We seem to hate change, even when not changing causes pain, too.

“Change” was the core message that Obama championed and that helped him be elected to two terms. “Change” too, was ultimately the horse that Trump rode into the White House as well and which may yet carry him into a second term. So, it puzzles me why this is, when we know that “change” is not something that comforts us or gives us a sense of security or well-being. Why is “change” such a driving force today in our lives when it is not something any of us are comfortable with or generally something that we, by default, seek?

Anyone? Love to find out why.

We all deal with stress and uncertainty differently — in our own way.

I find myself taking inventory of the things that I think are important to me, things I count on to bring some order and focus back into my life. At the end of the day, that means my family — my wife, my children and grandchildren, my relatives, my friends. I find myself thinking about things I can control, simple things like speaking to people, reaching out to neighbors, choosing not to judge, having a positive attitude, caring for animals and how I can personally change my habits and actions to give our environment a break — tiny things I can do to help save the planet.

I find myself focusing on positive things I can control and I am trying to take steps now that might help me remember how I feel right now — this minute — during this pandemic so that I will not forget it and so I will do a better job post-pandemic in doing my share to make everyone’s life a little bit better.

Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. That is not something I want to do or see. I want to be better than that. I want us all to be better than that.

Using an Integrated Wellness Plan to keep healthy during COVID-19 Brought to You by HOME HELPERS HOME CARE In these days of self-quarantining and social distancing, our older loved ones are faced with the challenge of keeping safe while trying to manage the serious issues of isolation and loneliness. This could be the ideal time for a fresh look at changed daily circumstances to find new ways to bring balance back into life with an Integrated Wellness Program. Home Helpers utilizes Integrated Wellness as the key to developing a customized plan for each client. This holistic approach focuses on five key factors to reach optimal wellness for you or your senior loved one: mental exercise, physical exercise, emotional/social support, nutritional planning and safety.

Mental exercise embraces the premise that you can create new neural pathways throughout your life so challenging your brain is key. Learning new things like a language or skill, doing regular things differently like driving different routes or brushing your teeth or hair with your off hand will challenge your brain, creating new neural pathways. Exercising both right brain (creative) and left brain (quantitative) is the goal. Music, art or plant therapy are excellent for creative activities. Puzzles, games, reading or writing are excellent for left brain.

Physical exercise can be a challenge when your usual routine is upset. Take some time to look at options on YouTube for everything from chair exercises to stretches that would be appropriate for older loved one. Look at sites like the National Institute for Aging that have a wide variety of options in this area.

Connect with friends and track with a daily challenge to keep up exercise at a reasonable pace. If you have questions about what’s appropriate, consider an online telemedicine visit to check with your doctor.

Emotional and social support are so critical when we’ve lost our usual ability to connect. Set up a schedule with family and friends to check in with each other, try to have a planned connection with your loved ones. Don’t forget the joy that a visit with family members sitting in chairs on the lawn at a safe distance will bring.

Cooking is emerging as a great passion for many people these days. Work with your older loved one on a balanced meal plan with adequate protein, consider focusing on a type of cuisine and tie it into some of the music and art items on your agenda. Hydration is hugely important as we age because our thirst sensation is diminished. Tracking how much liquid is consumed can assure adequate hydration which can prevent unnecessary hospitalization.

At Home Helpers our heart-centered professional staff is trained in COVID-19 infection control and how to execute our comprehensive plan of care. We can develop specialized Integrated Wellness plans for neurological disorder, heart disease, cancer, stroke, or diabetic clients. As part of our community, we are committed to keeping our older loved ones safe and help them thrive – never more so than in these times. For a free consultation and personalized plan of care contact Home Helpers Home Care at (678) 430-8511.

COVID-19: Safe care from the start at Wellstar Safe care starts before any patient even enters a Wellstar hospital, health park, urgent care center or medical office. Before walking through the doors, patients and team members are met with a thorough screening process to protect the health and safety of everyone inside. From temperature checks to deep cleaning in between patients, the new precautions ensure everyone can get the healthcare they need, safely.

However, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, many Georgians may still be putting their regular medical visits on hold.

Wellstar Chief Surgical Officer Dr. William Mayfield addressed the issue and explained how Wellstar is protecting patients.

“While you may have postponed a summer vacation or missed a special event, healthcare shouldn’t be part of your canceled plans,” Dr. Mayfield said.

“Healthcare visits can often catch more serious conditions early and help improve your overall well-being and quality of life.”

“During this time, getting medical treatment is safe and should be top on your priority list,” Dr. Mayfield continued. “For the safety of all of our patients and visitors, we’ve taken extra steps to protect your health such as wearing personal protective equipment, conducting temperature checks for team members and patients, and keeping COVID-19 patients secure.”

As Wellstar welcomes patients to all facilities, strict safety measures are in place to keep you and your family safe.

From everyday concerns to emergency services, an expert medical team is ready to handle all of your health needs COVID-19 or otherwise.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, extra precautions have been put in place at Wellstar facilities to ensure the

safety of patients and team members: • Patients with COVID-19 are separated from the rest of the general patient population.

• Wellstar has updated its visitor policy to limit visitation, although from time to time changes may be made to the policy. For the most updated information about visitation, please visit wellstar.org/COVID-19.

• Wellstar ensures each person coming into a Wellstar facility will have their temperature checked and will be asked about their potential COVID-19 exposure.

• Likewise, every team member entering a Wellstar facility will have their temperature checked.

• Wellstar asks each visitor or patient to bring a mask for their protection and to conserve PPE for healthcare team members.

• Wellstar observes all social distancing guidelines.

• If a person wishing to enter a Wellstar facility has symptoms consistent with respiratory illness, they will be provided a separate location to wait for treatment.

• Wellstar cleans all public areas and sanitizes in between each patient’s treatment with an approved cleaning product that protects against potential COVID-19 spread.

• All Wellstar team members who meet with patients will wear appropriate PPE for their, and the patient’s, safety.

Across Wellstar Health System, all locations are open and ready to provide safe primary care, specialty medicine, diagnostic services, procedures and surgeries to individuals and families throughout the Atlanta area and beyond.

For more information, visit wellstar.org/ safecare or call (770) 956-STAR (7827).​

THE INVESTMENT COACH

A life insurance surprise you don’t want A life insurance policy is a valuable asset. Too often the document ends up in a drawer or file and rarely is looked at.

That’s a mistake, especially if the value policy LEWIS J. WALKER, CFP cash you’re counting on to pay loved ones or other beneficiaries is likely to lapse!

There are two basic forms of life insurance: term insurance with no cash value, and policies such as whole life or Universal Life that combine a death benefit with a cash value savings element.

Term insurance provides a death benefit if you pay the premium and die within the specified coverage term, say, 10, 20, or 30 years. Term insurance has its uses but only about 1 percent of term life benefits are delivered to beneficiaries as the insured generally outlives the coverage period. The policy will not lapse if you pay premiums on time as specified.

Traditional whole life was designed as “permanent life insurance” as the combination of a death benefit plus cash value savings was to last “the whole of your life.” The “risk element” is the difference between the cash value and the face amount to be paid at your death.

When the policy matures, the cash value savings element is to equal the insurance amount.

Since odds of death increase each year as you grow older, the price of the risk element, expressed as the “cost of insurance,” rises over time. The idea behind whole life versus pure term insurance is to “overpay” in earlier years, creating a cash reserve to offset the higher risk premium at older ages.

To create the cash reserves, insurance companies invest the premiums you pay in bond, stock, and real estate markets, and that involves variability. To put that in perspective, a brief history lesson.

In the 1970s, inflation ran rampant in America with rising interest rates.

The CPI reached 13.5 percent annually in 1980. In March 1980, banks issued six-month CDs with annualized rates as high as 17.74 percent. In October 1981, a one-year Treasury bill offered 14.73 percent. While the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 cut the highest personal marginal tax bracket from 70 percent to 50 percent, with relatively high inflation and tax rates, investors clamored for both significant returns and tax shelter.

In 1979, a new type of permanent cash value life insurance was introduced offering high interest rates and premium payment flexibility. Called Universal Life (UL), demand for the product soared, as interest rates credited were significantly greater than with traditional whole life. Most UL sales in the early 1980s involved replacement of traditional whole life policies.

But here’s the rub concerning all cash value policies. Since the early 1980s peak, interest rates and the yields on bonds, a mainstay of insurance company investments, have been declining. Without getting deep into technical weeds, bond yields that support the building of your cash values have been under pressure. If bond yields are declining, and interest rates currently are at new historical lows, low yields and rising costs can impact cash value balances, whether whole life or the various forms of UL. Many policies were sold years ago with long-term projections (non-guaranteed illustrations) illustrating yields far higher than today. The compounding results looked like pure magic! Note the term “non-guaranteed.” If you’re not monitoring your policy, you might not notice that cash values may be declining, putting the policy in danger of lapsing. That’s a surprise you do not want!

Another trap. Some policy owners were left with the false impression that if they paid premiums for 10 years, the

policy would be “paid up” and no more premium needed to be paid. Not true.

The illustration merely showed that if you paid the scheduled premiums and if the interest or dividend rate projected, and the cost of insurance remained constant over time, most likely the policy would support itself beyond year 10. In a declining interest rate world, that’s a very dangerous assumption.

You monitor and track your investment portfolio. Why not your insurance portfolio? How are your cash value policies performing? Are they doing what you planned for them to do? Is the policy meeting expectations? Is it likely to lapse?

To answer critical questions, contact your financial advisor and order an “inforce” illustration. The illustration shows the current cash value and projects how the policy will perform if you continue paying premiums as you are currently given current interest or dividend rates, which may differ substantially from the crediting rate on the original illustration provided when you bought your policy.

If the policy is in danger of lapsing, wouldn’t you want to know? Many policy owners have been shocked to learn how much premium must be paid to salvage their contract.

An in-force illustration and a consultation with an experienced financial advisor can tell you what the data means.

That discussion may be critical to your financial health and that of your heirs.
