Despite the steamy post-rain weather, more than 500 people turned out on Saturday night to enjoy the city’s inaugural outdoor concert at Brook Run’s newly constructed amphitheater, which featured the Josh Gilbert Band.

Summer concert series kicks off at amphitheater DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody Parks and Recreation Department has announced the return of “Groovin’ on the Green,” a free summer concert series at the new Brook Run Park Amphitheater.

The series launched Saturday.

“I’ve been looking forward to this since last summer,” Mayor Lynn Deutsch said.

“This is just the kind of thing our community had in mind when we planned and built the new amphitheater. I’m anticipating big crowds, and I’m excited for the opportunity to gather, again.”

The Brook Run Park Amphitheater opened quietly last summer, but the

June 12 concert was the first big event.

The venue includes terraced seating, expanded levels of open space, restrooms and an upgraded pavilion. The amphitheater is located along the Dunwoody Trailway in Brook Run Park and offers easy access for those who want to walk or ride their bicycles to the event.

The next two concerts will take place on July 10 and September 11. Featured bands for those concerts have yet to be announced.

Concert-goers can bring a blanket and picnic dinner and enjoy the concert from the Great Lawn.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody Development Authority, along with Regency Centers, is providing funds to enhance a proposed entertainment facility in the Dunwoody Village Shopping Center.

The five-restaurant complex, to be located in an empty 30,000 squarefoot courtyard at 1317 Dunwoody Village Parkway, is being developed

by David Abes of DASH Hospitality, and will include a concert stage. Abes discussed the project at length at the June 6 Dunwoody Homeowners Association meeting.

“I appreciate the Dunwoody support,” Abes, himself a Dunwoody resident, told the group. “This is something that the city needs.”

The Dunwoody Development Authority voted in late May to provide a forgivable $160,000 loan to DASH Hospitality. Regency, the owner of the center, is kicking in about $100,000 for improvements to the outdoor area.

Dunwoody Director of Economic Development Michael Starling said the development funds, obtained using tax abatement monies, will be used to purchase outdoor furniture and equipment to enhance the space.

“While the funds will be used to purchase the furniture and equipment, DASH will be responsible for its upkeep and maintenance,” Star-

Abes told the DHA that the project will be rolled out in three phases. The first, a wine/whisky bar called Barn, is slated to open in mid-September, offering tapas, desserts and other light appetizers. Abes said that food trucks will be invited onsite to offer heavier fare during the first phase.

The second phase, expected to be finished by spring of 2022, will see the opening of Mexican-themed Cucos and Morty’s Meat and Supply,

Two restaurants and two gas stations were cited for selling to the undercover minors. Among them were the Olive Garden at 4749 Ashford Dunwoody Road; Sage Woodfire Tavern, 4505 Ashford Dunwoody Road; the BP gas station, 4368 North Peachtree Road; and a Chevron at 6900 Peachtree Industrial Blvd.

Police cited each of the store clerks who made the sales and released them.

They could face further sanctions from the Department of Revenue, according to authorities.

Area police officers participate in human trafficking training

By KATIE ANDERSON newsroom@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Around 50 law enforcement officers from area departments gathered at the Roswell-Alpharetta Public Safety Training Center June 7 for a seminar on human trafficking.

The session drew officers from Roswell, Alpharetta, Woodstock, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Johns Creek, Milton and Fulton County police departments. The Roswell Rotary Club sponsored the event and worked with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Roswell Police Department.

Dave McCleary, vice-chair of Rotarians Against Slavery and previous president of the Roswell Rotary, said Georgia is a model for the U.S. and around the

Tallmadge announces plans Trafficking: to vacate council seat July 15 Continued from Page 2

By CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. – District 1 Dunwoody City Council member Pam Tallmadge, who had already announced that she would not be seeking re-election in November, has resigned her seat effective July TALLMADGE 15 citing “personal life changes.”

In a letter written to City Council members and city staff that was obtained by the Crier, Tallmadge said an unsolicited buyer made “an offer we could not refuse” on her Dunwoody home, and that she and her husband had in turn put a contract on a home in Woodstock, Ga., taking “me out of my assigned district.”

“It has been an honor and a love to serve the citizens of Dunwoody,” Tallmadge said in her letter. “I would like to express what a privilege it is to have worked with a talented and professional city of Dunwoody staff.”

Tallmadge said this unexpected turn of events is bittersweet.

“It’s exciting to start a new chapter, but holy cow, I’m leaving Dunwoody,” she said. “It’s an emotional roller coaster right now, and I don’t think it’s quite hit me. I think that will happen when the moving van pulls in.”

Tallmadge had announced in May that she would not seek re-election and endorsed Catherine Lautenbacher, a Mill Glen resident and program director for Leadership Sandy Springs, for her seat.

To date, no other prospective candidates have publicly announced that they will seek Tallmadge’s seat.

Whether or not the seat will be filled for the duration of Tallmadge’s term is yet to be determined, city officials said.

“The city is evaluating next steps, based on the city charter, as to whether the seat will be filled or left vacant,” Dunwoody Communications Director Jennifer Boettcher said.

The election cycle for November includes the District 1, 2 and 3 seats, which are held by Tallmadge, Jim Riticher and Tom Lambert.

ground, and it is just so important,” she said. “We really appreciate y’all learning and knowing what to look for and just working with the community and recognizing this.”

The Kemps founded the Georgians for Refuge, Action, Compassion, and Education Commission — GRACE — to combat the threat of human trafficking in the state. The GRACE Commission is comprised of public officials, law enforcement, for-profit and non-profit organizations, faith-based institutions, and subject matter experts to tackle human trafficking, seek justice for victims and hold bad actors accountable.

An estimated 1.5 million Americans, most of them children, are victims of human trafficking. The FBI recently named Atlanta as one of the top 14 cities with abnormally high rates of human trafficking.

In January, the Kemps announced two legislative measures they were taking to combat human trafficking in Georgia — a name change exception for survivors of human trafficking and civil remedies for victims of human trafficking.

The eight-hour training was con-

ducted by GBI agent Renea Green. The training was programed by the Human Trafficking Task Force of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council in coordination with the Demand an End initiative with the Office of Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, Street Grace, and the GBI. “We appreciate you allowing GBI to partner with you, to work with you and stand with you as we do everything humanly possible to stop what the first lady calls the scourge of modern-day slavery,” GBI director Vic Reynolds said to the officers.

Also in attendance was Georgia State Sen. John Albers who shared a story of a woman and her daughter that he met at a candlelight vigil during the Rotary convention several years ago. He said after the women shared their stories, he exchanged business cards with them. A few months later, he received a call from one of the women telling him that her ex-husband had been released from jail and was going after her and her daughter, threatening to kill them. By working with the GBI and police departments, the two were rescued.

The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council also offers training programs to combat human trafficking in the hospital industry and for first responders in addition to the seminar for police, judges and prosecutors. The training programs are available upon request.

Certified Bob Ross instructor teaches local painting classes

By ADAM DARBY adam@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. —Experiencing somewhat of a pop cultural resurgence, iconic painter and television personality Bob Ross and his legacy continue to reach new generations long after his passing.

Jeremy Rogers, a certified Bob Ross instructor, is teaching a series of Ross-inspired outdoor painting classes at Brook Run Park starting on June 19 with five more slated for the summer. The classes, “Paint Like a Ross!”, will teach experienced painters and newcomers alike how to create their own landscape paintings using Ross’ teaching methods. Rogers is excited for people to attend in the hopes of proving that “anyone can paint, even if you’ve never picked up a brush.”

With a passion for art since he was a child, at age 17, Rogers discovered Ross’ acclaimed television show, “The Joy of Painting!” He made the transition from drawing to painting after realizing he could complete a painting in a few hours using his techniques. He began taking advanced placement art courses at Dunwoody High School where he garnered the confidence to teach Ross’ style after losing interest in pursuing a college art major. Rogers then discovered the Bob Ross instructor certification program in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

“After I completed the program, I thought that teaching would continue to make me a better artist and I wanted to push myself to get more comfortable talking in front of groups,” Rogers said.

“Once I started teaching, I found that spreading the joy of painting also made me happy…In fact, I have a lot of fun engaging with the students because most people interested in Bob’s style of art are fun people.”

PHOTOS PROVIDED

Dunwoody native Jeremy Rogers will teach a series of classes on painting in the style of Bob Ross.

Rogers was also taught by Bob’s son, Steve Ross. Last year, he traveled with a select group of Bob Ross Inc. instructors to teach master classes at the opening of the Bob Ross Museum in Muncie, Indiana and at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History when several of Ross’ original paintings were donated.

“Bob’s legacy has spread way beyond just his paintings,” Rogers said. “Bob’s ability to captivate those watching into believing that anything is possible with a little practice encourages many people to pursue their dreams, even if it’s not painting. His greatest legacy is the kindness that he spread to everyone who watched his show. He not only taught us to paint; he taught us through his wise metaphors how to live a fulfilling life.”

Attendees can expect to complete a landscape painting of their own at any level of experience. Rogers makes it easy

for those who attend, providing all necessary materials and doing all clean-up work afterwards. To guarantee the best results, he brings his own high-quality canvases, brushes, and paints.

“Many of my students have never even picked up a paintbrush and some have tried to paint along to reruns of Bob’s PBS show but have limited results,” Rogers said. “Having an instructor in person helps a student come away extremely satisfied with what they create. I always get feedback that the classes are fun and encouraging …

That’s what keeps me hooked on teaching the Bob Ross method.”

Although his introductory class on June 19 has already sold out, Rogers will hold more classes in the park on July 17 and 20 along with August 21 and 24. To register for one of his upcoming classes, visit the City of Dunwoody’s website or Rogers’ Facebook page.

“I’m glad Jeremy discovered [Ross] because when I watch him teach a Bob Ross class, he really comes alive,” said Sherri Rogers, Jeremy’s mother and assistant. “I can tell he is doing something he truly loves, and the students also pick up on that and get inspired to tap into their own creativity.”

Restaurant navigates pandemic to expand its community reach

BY TIFFANY MORGAN newsroom@appenmedia.com ROSWELL Ga. –– From The Earth Brewing Company had just finished one of its busiest weekends of the summer, when outdoor and indoor dining was ordered closed due to the pandemic.

Owner Tim Stevens remembers it like yesterday.

Blocked from operating his Roswell business in a normal fashion, Stevens had to act quickly. As a family man, he said he saw a lot of locals struggling to find fresh produce, meats, toilet paper and other merchandise that was harder to come by at the beginning of the pandemic.

So, Stevens put together “Market Boxes,” for $30 a piece, twice a week.

The boxes contained locally grown produce and other groceries that his vendors sold. Selling the boxes, he said, was his way helping his vendors keep revenue and give back to the community in a time of need.

They also provided more than 2,000 meals to students during the summer months. Operating a mobile kitchen with all the fixins, Stevens’ business also provided food to first responders and has partnered with several organizations throughout the region.

“As an owner and operator, I was able to [give back to the community] quick,” Stevens said.

When COVID restrictions eased, and limited dining came back, the brewing company, located at 1570 Holcomb Bridge Road, hosted drive-in concerts in the parking lot. Their first event was last May, and Stevens said his was one of the first businesses in the country to try it.

Like many other business owners,

DHA’s N O S A E S H T 9

Stevens said he owes a great debt to the community. “[The drive-in concerts] really are what saved us through the whole pandemic,” Stevens said. “They were lifesaving during a really critical time. And we’re still doing those today.”

With its newest partnership with Nantahala Outdoor Center, the brewing company now returns near the Chattahoochee River for their Azalea Park Beer Garden. Each weekend, there is live music, beer and good food, Stevens said.

The partnership has continued to grow, and Stevens said he is grateful to have gotten through the pandemic to get to where his business is now.

“I was just trying to get through the pandemic, and now that we’re on the other side, I feel like we’re at a much better place,” Stevens said.

Since their opening the weekend of May 20, Stevens said it has been going well.

A press release stated that there is a rotation of food trucks, yard games, outdoor activities, and beer and wines.

Upcoming fundraisers and other local charity events are slated for the upcoming days as well.

With a passion for kayaking and other water recreation, Stevens realized it would be a perfect opportunity to provide residents with a place to grab a bite to eat, have some beer and be out on the water, too. He said with the new piece of property in conjunction with Nantahala, he has been able to execute more of his original concept and is proud to see it come to fruition.

“I’ve got three major passions: music, beer and really good food. That’s what we built and it’s really cool to see it develop into something I would come to and hang out at,” Stevens said.

June 10 – October 28, 2021 every Thursday 5 pm – Dark @ Brook Run Park.

After Dunwoody was incorporated on Dec. 1, 2008, city leaders soon realized they needed more assistance than the DeKalb Police Department could provide. So, on April 1, 2009, the Dunwoody Police Force was formed. The move saved the city $400,000 a month that had been paid to DeKalb County to be used to purchase equipment, police cars and ammo.

Grogan described the events of last summer that protected Perimeter Mall from possible damage during demonstrations like those that occurred in Buckhead. His relationship with other police departments resulted in many more officers available to dissuade damage to the stores.

Grogan described the community outreach projects through which they build trust with the department. He also told of incentives offered to encourage vaccinations of officers.

He also said crime is down 30%, but crimes against persons is up 15%.

The process of becoming a police officer and being trained is thorough. Grogan encourages anyone with an interest in being an officer to apply.

Minor change to the story of the name Dunwoody

VALERIE BIGGERSTAFF

If you have lived in Dunwoody for a long time, you probably heard the story of how the community got its name. Major Archibald Alexander Dunwody, of the Dunwody family in Roswell, applied for a post office. The post office made an error by adding an o to the name. That is

almost accurate.

Post office applications are held by the National Archives and are now available online. Review of the post office application for Dunwoody, dated Oct. 19, 1881, reveals it was completed by George N. Flowers rather than Charles Dunwody. George Flowers was postmaster of Doraville in 1881.

He was the postmaster there for many years, from 1871 until 1924.

George Flowers had to answer several questions on the application, such as what post offices are nearby.

His response was Roswell to the north, Atlanta to the south and Doraville to the east. He also described the nearest creek as Nancie’s Creek and the most “prominent river” as the Chattahoochee.

To the question is there a railroad nearby, Flowers responded, “it is on Roswell Railroad, it is ¼ mile from Dunwoodie Station. It is a new railroad…likely to be a village. Population 250.”

The railroad had just recently begun operation, probably the motiva-

This 1869 property deed between Charles A. Dunwody and Jehu L. Wing demonstrates how the Dunwody family spelled their name.

tion for establishing a post office.

Charles Dunwody was an influential person in the community in 1881, making him a good choice as namesake. He was a large landowner, was instrumental in completion of the Roswell Railroad, and rebuilt the bridge over the Chattahoochee River leading to Roswell following its destruction during the Civil War. Another question for research has been whether there were two accepted spellings of the name at the time. The name Dunwody is often spelled with two “o”s on documents that were not completed by family members, such as census records. However, documents signed by family members use the one “o” spelling. Dunwoody Preservation Trust was recently the recipient of an original deed signed by Charles Dunwody, where he signed “Charles A. Dunwody.”

Charles Dunwody and his wife, Ellen Rice Dunwody, are buried at the Roswell Presbyterian Cemetery. Dunwody’s parents, Jane Bulloch Dunwody and John Dunwody are buried at the Founder’s Cemetery in Roswell.

All their grave markers spell the name Dunwody.

To sum it up, Dunwoody is still named for Charles Dunwody, and there was a spelling error. However, the error was made by the person completing the application, not by the post office. Just a slight change to the story.

THE INVESTMENT COACH

OPINION

Ask the important questions Dan Sullivan, creator of The Strategic Coach Program, has coached legions of financial advisors and entrepreneurs, “helping the LEWIS J. WALKER, CFP best to get better.” He tells a story about a gentleman who called and said that the person who referred him had good things to say about Dan’s program, but he did not provide details. Dan replied, “Before I tell you about Strategic Coach, I’d like to ask you a question: If we were having this discussion three years from today, and you were to look back over those three years to today, what has to have happened, both personally and professionally, for you to feel happy about your progress?”

The gentleman talked at length telling Dan his story, how he got to where he was and where he hoped to go in the future.

Dan counsels, “Remember that people don’t really want answers. They want powerful questions that allow them to discover their own answers.”

One of the greatest services a financial advisor (or a coach like Dan Sullivan) can provide is to ask you introspective questions that lead to answers tailored to your unique needs and goals. Often a person contacts an advisor because he or she has “money questions.” As we emerge from pandemic preoccupations, we need to take conversations beyond portfolio concerns and the technical aspects of money and estate planning. We need to understand your story, how you got to where you are, where you and those you love and care for are today, and where you hope to be in the future.

Has COVID-19 changed your relationships with your spouse, children, parents, other loved ones? If so, how? If you’re a business owner, how has the pandemic changed your relationships with associates, employees, customers, clients, and/or suppliers, those who depend on you?

Your story has a past, a present and a future. Ask yourself, “How did I arrive at my perspectives on money? Am I managing money in a way that’s improving my life, and that of those I love? Am I, and they, financially prepared for life’s big transitions?

Has COVID-19 changed or influenced the story I intend to write going forward?”

“Goals” may be overrated as a conversation starter. Instead, consider “challenges” and “transitions” within a time frame.

Looking forward over the next 10 years, and perhaps 10 years beyond that, what challenges do you see? What life transitions might you face? You having a heart attack, Mom falling and breaking her hip, are not goals. Shutting down your business during COVID-19 was not a goal. Do you see a need to be better prepared for your next “what if” challenge?

For current or future challenges, focus on the best alternatives to meet the challenge; the resources needed to power the best alternative, including financial and human capital; and lastly, envision the outcome, what you and those you care about want to experience. In essence, the desired outcome is the goal.

Has the pandemic caused you to be more intentional, more reflective around purpose? What does money mean to you?

Have you changed how you’ll earn it, spend it, save it, invest it, donate it? Are you and your spouse or partner in accord? Have you decided not to wait until retirement to live the life you want? Are you reevaluating timelines? Will you take more time to smell the roses, especially if a bout with COVID-19 destroyed your sense of smell for a time?

Many of us lost loved ones, friends and acquaintances, in the past year from the pandemic and other causes. Have you changed your thinking about time, about God? A story in The Wall Street Journal about Rabbi Abraham Joshua Herschel was thought provoking. (“What We’ve Lost in Rejecting the Sabbath,” May 8-9, 2021).

Rabbi Herschel said, “Modern life is all about conquering space, growing and prospering economically.” But he saw danger in that in the race to gain “power in the realm of space we forfeit all aspirations in the realm of time.” Accused by some as being “old fashioned,” he knew we’ve lost something in our ever-accelerating busyness on the Sabbath. He felt we were missing “an entire dimension of existence: namely, time. Time, whose passage reminds us that everything is contingent, everything passes away everything except God.” What might you do about that? God’s definition of “net worth” is a whole different matter.

COVID-19 reminded us of our mortality, that much of life is beyond our control.

Has what’s challenged you diminished your faith, or rather, strengthened it? The rabbi might urge that you find your inner liberty by freeing yourself from the “‘domination of things’ as well as from ‘domination of people.’” “The goal,” he asserts, “is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord.”

Powerful questions engender life-altering discoveries and breakthroughs. What questions are on your mind?

OPINION

One good way to fight the heat: Climb a canyon Uh-oh. It’s starting to get hot outside. The other day, in fact, it was downright toasty. I took the pup out for her midday walk, and for the first time this year I felt the unmistakable and unavoidable heat of the STEVE HUDSON coming summer sun.

Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net The pup and I found ourselves looking for shade to avoid the heat.

It looks like it might be another hot summer.

It’s not that I mind the heat so much.

Rather, it’s the fact that being cool and comfy in an air conditioned house, possibly with a cool beverage close at hand, can easily become more appealing than being hot and sweaty outdoors.

Uh-oh again. There’s the danger. Just when summer is finally here, and just when we all want to get outside after that long and uniquely trying stretch we’ve just been through, it goes and gets hot. Really hot. So hot that (I admit it) the temptation to stay indoors is strong.

What a lot of us (myself included) really need at such times is an incentive – and the Georgia Department of Resources has just the thing. It’s the Canyon Climb-

ers Club, one of several DNR-sponsored “clubs” designed to encourage the couch potato in all of us to get off the sofa and get outdoors…even in the heat of summer.

According to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the Canyon Climbers Club provides a way to encourage us to “experience some of the system’s most spectacular landscapes.”

“Georgia’s Canyon Climbers Club is for those few who want to scale to the top of Amicalola Falls, explore the floor of Providence Canyon, brave the swinging bridge in Tallulah Gorge and master the staircase in Cloudland Canyon.”

“The few,” eh? Maybe, like me, you’ve always wanted to be one of the elite, and here’s your chance. Besides, all you have to do to earn that exalted status is to complete four hiking challenges. Just four.

That sounds reasonable, doesn’t it?

Of course, you don’t have to join the club to enjoy the hikes. The trails are there and waiting for you whether you’re a Canyon Climbers Club member or not.

But there’s something kind of fun about signing up and making it official. You can do that at gastateparks.org. Simply visit gastateparks.org/parkclubs and choose Canyon Climbers Club to find all the details. Joining costs $20.

And membership has its privileges.

For your $20, you get (1) a really cool shirt that you can wear while hiking to announce to the world that you are officially taking on the challenge plus (2) once you complete all four challenges, a neat certificate which you can then hang in a place of prominence on your wall!

So signing up is straightforward. But how does the hiking part work?

It’s straightforward too. Just visit each park (wear your Canyon Climbers Club tee shirt to tell the world what you’re doing!) and hike away.

What kind of hiking are you in for?

At Amicalola Falls State Park, you’ll be challenged to climb that seemingly endless stairway from the parking lot to the observation platforms near the falls. I won’t tell you how many steps that involves. Going in, you may not want to know.

More steps await at Cloudland Canyon State Park, where you’ll go from the canyon rim down the waterfall trail all the way to the canyon floor.

In Providence Canyon State Park, there’s a multi-mile loop trail with a spur that takes you through some impressive local geology.

And at Tallulah Gorge State Park, you’ll want to hike from the north rim down to the swinging bridge (yes, swinging bridge) which carries you from one side of

the gorge to the other. Lots more steps.

Is there a time limit to complete the challenge hikes? Nope. Take as long as you want.

After you have finished at each site, do you need to find someone to confirm that you’ve done the hiking?

“No, you do not,” notes the Canyon Climbers Club’s list of frequently-asked questions. “You may simply keep track on your own.” Hiking is all about, well, hiking, and success is its own reward.

But the site adds, “If you’d like to have your challenge acknowledged by the park visitor center, our folks would be glad to congratulate you.”

In the end, once you’ve finished all four hiking challenges, you can even get a certificate! Just send in your completed checklist, and the certificate will come your way. It’s as simple as that.

I like things like the Canyon Climbers Club. Sure, I can always go hike on my own. But having that little bit of structure, that little bit of self-imposed accountability, can help keep me going when my air-conditioned den looms more appealing that being outdoors in the heat.

Sometimes we all need a little encouragement.

Now where did I put that glass of iced tea?

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The City of Dunwoody has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 10.48 percent.

All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax increase to be held at Dunwoody City Hall, 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Rd, Dunwoody GA 30338 on Monday, June 14, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at the same location on Monday, June 28 at 8:00 a.m. and at 6:00 p.m. This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 2.740 mills, an increase of 0.260 mills.

Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 2.480 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $450,000 is approximately $46.80 and the proposed tax increase for nonhomestead property with a fair market value of $2,200,000 is approximately $228.80.

OPINION

AppenMedia.com/Dunwoody | Dunwoody Crier | June 17, 2021 | 13

What’s up, for my pup?

Into a world so loud, so arrogant and so hurried emerges something so simple and so reassuring.

It has no political party, no agenda, no “read between the lines,” and for sure no strategic implicaRAY APPEN tions or competitive Publisher Emeritus ray@appenmedia.com advantages. And it has nothing to do with being a patriot, or anything COVID, or who you believe won the election.

It is pure, white, and small. And sometimes it is cold but most of the time it is just, well, “it.” No matter, it never fails to generate smiles all around, and sometimes odd noises.

And, yes, it tends to fall on the insatiable side — in the order of things.

There is — I assumed, but was later corrected — no debt, no implied obligation, no margins, no calculated cost, although for sure there are costs involved associated with it. Yet, it is growing, rapidly. It reminds me of those summer blazes on the west coast, spreading out of control, buf-

feted by strong winds sweeping over canyons and plain or anything viral on the Internet — something that keeps growing and getting bigger on its own.

Only without a doubt and unlike those West Coast fires, there is no danger nor sense of panic. Most of the time, just grins.

There are no conspiracy theories that surround it, at least not yet. And, despite its growing popularity, few paparazzi follow it, nor does it seem to be on the news media’s radar currently. But it is there, everywhere.

It reminds me of an insider joke, one that everyone knows about and gets without effort, yet one that no one talks about. It is just a little secret among friends that generates all those grins.

And the greatest irony of it all might just be that it is “emerging” right out of the dry, barren bosom of corporate America — unfunded, unbudgeted, and more than everything else, unmanaged. It’s not very profitable either. Actually, there are no profits, only expenses. And it is going on right under corporate’s nose — on their cameras, and in plain sight.

Jacquelin.

What might I be talking about, you ask?

“Pup-Cups,” I might just answer — those small plastic cups filled with whipping cream that you can get at the Starbucks drive through window for your dog. Free. It’s, of course, for your pup, the one sitting in the car beside you as you pick up your Starbucks coffee. The pup that thinks mana from heaven has just fallen as he or she licks that cold almost pure sugar cream-filled cup.

“Pup-cup.” I like just saying the name. It has a good sound and is fun to say. Saying it is almost as fun as the anticipation of the smile you get when you ask the barista if they “serve pup cups.” They just love passing out that delicious concoction to the pup in the car — just our little secret between the Starbucks peeps, my pup, and me. Sometimes life does things right — like “pup-cups. “ And, I have been experimenting to see how many other places are cool enough to do “pup cups” the right way. I ‘ve been in a Dairy Queen that passed with flying colors and smiles!

I got one at a McDonald’s too — life done right! And I just assumed that my fav — Chick-fil-A would be hip to “”Pup cups,” and much to my surprise,- what I got was “my pleasure, that will be 27 cents.” Seriously Speedy? Can’t we all just get along?

Cut the pup some slack guys! We know you cow-lovers love the pups too, no? Let your hair down some, have some fun! You really need that 27 cents? Undo your pup-cup policy.

Make it free! Pups just wanna have fun and pup-cups wanna be free!

Lighten up youSolution all.

Who wants a “pup-cup?”
