DeKalb School Board considers redistricting to ease overcrowding

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The DeKalb County School District will consider redistricting to alleviate overcrowding at schools in Dunwoody and throughout the county.

On July 8, the City of Dunwoody ordered the school district to stop work on the installation of new trailers at Dunwoody High School because it had not secured the proper land disturbance permits. Work resumed two days later, but city staff and community members have been waiting for a long-term plan

from the school district beyond portable classrooms.

At the time of the trailer installation, Mayor Denis Shortal said he had not heard any long-term plan from the school district.

At the July 8 City Council meeting, Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch said the Board of Education was abusing its power by not getting the proper permits.

“They’ve broken every rule they could practically,” Deutsch said.

Since then, the School Board is-

DeKalb Schools is in the process of installing two new quad-classroom trailers to Dunwoody High School in an effort to ease overcrowding before the school year begins.

Dunwoody to pursue new route for ambulance coverage zone

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody’s shortest route to securing its own ambulance coverage area has evaporated.

Just before the city could present its case to a special EMS Council committee July 18, the panel voted to disband.

“We’re back to the beginning,” Dunwoody City Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch said.

The committee never had the power to grant Dunwoody its own ambulance coverage zone, but it could recommend to the Region 3 EMS Council, which governs such matters, that the city deserves its own service zone. Right now, Dunwoody is part of a countywide coverage

area operated through DeKalb County.

The Dunwoody City Council passed a resolution July 8 declaring DeKalb County in breach of its agreement with the city because ambulance response times for life-threatening calls has trended upward over the past six months.

The contract went into effect in October, five months after Dunwoody declared an EMS state of emergency.

Dunwoody’s plight also spurred creation of the special ad hoc committee, made up of regional public safety leaders, which was charged with evaluating performance of local EMS services.

Officials from Dunwoody were prepared to reiterate their case for a separate coverage zone — apart from DeKalb County — when the committee met July

18 at Dunwoody City Hall.

The city has also taken issue with DeKalb County’s ambulance service provider, American Medical Response, saying the company has not demonstrated an ability to meet response times.

Before the meeting, Dunwoody Councilman Terry Nall said that because the county is “woefully behind” on a recommendation for a new ambulance provider, the meeting should be the time to say “enough is enough.” This is the time to recommend a change to the DeKalb ambulance zone, Nall said.

Instead, before Dunwoody representatives could speak, the ad hoc committee voted to suspend all future meetings and dissolve the panel until future reconstitution.

“(Our charge was) to allow the city of Dunwoody or any other municipalities in the current DeKalb zone to meet with an ad hoc committee to discuss their vision of EMS for their city,” said Clayton County Deputy Fire Chief Rich Elliott, a committee member. “I feel like we’ve accomplished that.”

The committee vote to disband followed a brief presentation from DeKalb Fire Chief Darnell Fullum, who listed improvements the county has made to EMS service since Dunwoody’s state of emergency declaration.

The fire chief pointed to the increase in the number of ambulances currently servicing Dunwoody, including one at

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police responded to a shoplifting July 9 at the second level Sunglass Hut on Ashford Dunwoody Road.

Employees told authorities that a woman entered the store and placed four pairs of sunglasses into her purse before leaving.

Woman pays $250 for faulty cell phone DUNWOODY, Ga. — A woman reported to police July 12 that she purchased a faulty cell phone from a private user online. She said the seller claimed to be selling a new Samsung Galaxy S9 for $250 with the original box and charger.

When she met with the seller at Starbucks on Mount Vernon Highway to purchase the phone, they made the transaction before she inspected the phone.

Although it appeared to be legitimate,

The school district will also install five single-wide portable classrooms and a restroom unit at Dunwoody Elementary School. It is installing portable classrooms at eight sites this school year.

The trailers at Peachtree Charter Middle School are 13 years old, two years shy of their recommended lifespan.

she attempted to activate the phone through Metro PCS before being told that the phone was not real and could not receive service. When inspecting the IME code, she found that it was a clone of another phone.

The seller used the username “Adam” and was described as a white male in his 20s with brown/blonde shoulder-length hair. The user was seen still selling the same phone online. Police confiscated the phone for evidence.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A female employee notified authorities July 12 of suspicious activity at Best Buy on Hammond Drive.

A male shopper was observed requesting two iPhone XS MAX devices at the

most expensive cost with no regard for the color. The employee stated that most customers purchasing phones for themselves are particular about cost and color. As the customer began reading the account information from his cell phone to complete the transaction, he apparently noticed police looking at him and left the store as the employee was verifying the account. The suspect was seen leaving the parking lot in a white sedan.

The responding officer made a traffic stop on the car, and asked the driver why he left the store before completing the transaction. He claimed to have received the charge account information from the son of the account holder.

Authorities contacted the account holder and were told that the transactions were fraudulent. The suspect was placed under arrest, and he was transported to DeKalb County Jail for identity theft.

During a tour of area facilities July 18, DeKalb school officials found water damage at Dunwoody High School trailers. The party included DeKalb Schools Chief Operations Officer Dan Drake, Superintendent Stephen Green and Dunwoody’s regional Board of Education representative Stan Jester.

Jester said the long-term solution lies in redistricting. The Board of Education is working on a redistricting plan that may involve professional consultants. Even with major overcrowding at Dunwoody and Chamblee Charter high schools, there are still 6,000 empty seats across high schools in the county, he said.

“Dunwoody High School is on a postage stamp-size campus,” Jester said. “I am collaboratively working with administration and the School Board to figure out how to optimize redistricting.”

The earliest redistricting could be implemented would be in the fall of 2020, he said.

Dunwoody High School will have one sports field for more than 2,000 students this fall. There are no plans announced yet for an additional gym or multi-use field, Jester said.

School officials were scheduled to make a public presentation to the City Council this week, City Attorney Bill Riley said. Assistant City Manager Jay Vinicki was set to present a construction update at the July 22 meeting as well.

Dunwoody weighs parking space maximums

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody is considering changing its parking space ratios for developments in an effort to free up more area for green space.

Under the proposal, all motor vehicle parking ratios for each type of development would change from minimum requirements to a maximum ceiling in an attempt to promote walkability in the city and maintain green space.

Right now, a drive-thru restaurant requires a minimum 10 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet. Under the proposed zoning change, the 10 spaces would be a maximum.

City Planner Ronnie Kurtz presented the first reading of the proposal to the City Council at their July 8 meeting.

“As the city is transitioning to a more urban, pedestrian-friendly environment, minimum off-street motor vehicle parking requirements have yielded a surplus of parking,” Kurtz said.

This has placed an unnecessary burden on new developments, he said, especially in the Perimeter Center area. The February 2019 edition of the Institute of Traffic Engineers journal recommends eliminating mandatory minimum parking requirements to encourage sustainable develop-

ment and promote active transit, he said.

This change will allow the market to more freely decide what the demand is for a given site, he said, and would provide more adaptability for the city and applicant to meet the needs of a specific site.

Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch praised city staff’s work on the amendment and their eye toward the future with new transport options possible.

“I’m so excited,” Deutsch said. “Not only do I think this is a move in the right direction; I go to a lot of smart cities conferences and meetings, and this is certainly the trend.”

There was some concern from Councilman Jim Riticher about the simple flip from minimum to maximum.

“Are we going too far by just switching minimum to maximum?” Riticher said.

“Has this been done in other municipalities? How long ago? Who’s doing this?”

Decatur made a similar change in 2015 to great effect, Kurtz said, and Roswell has both a minimum requirement and a maximum cap.

Currently, businesses apply more often for an exemption to go under the minimum requirement than they ask to go over what the city recommends, Kurtz said.

The burden of proof for an exemption to exceed the maximum would be high, Kurtz said. The business would be required

to submit a traffic study or parking study to prove that the maximum parking ratios don’t “accurately reflect the parking demand that can be reasonably anticipated for the proposed use,” according to the code.

Developers want to build only as many parking spaces as is required to get financing, Kurtz said. The recent Branch Properties proposal to rezone the near-empty lot at Ashford Dunwoody Road and Meadow Lane for a grocer-anchored shopping center was the only recent development that asked to go over the minimum, he said.

That request was required by the still-unnamed grocer, Branch Senior Vice President Jack Haylett said. And this was a sticking point during presentations to the City Council for that shopping center.

This amendment would not require any parking spaces for any development, but developers would still be incentivized

to have parking by their financers.

Councilman Terry Nall asked if this could make booting and towing cars more of an issue as it is in Atlanta, which has a similar policy.

Atlanta has a privatized parking enforcement agency, Community Development Director Richard McLeod said, so it is in their best interest to tow and ticket as often as they can. Dunwoody should not see a similar issue with fewer parking spaces, McLeod said.

An applicant could also exceed the maximum if they were to create a multilevel parking deck, Kurtz said, as long as the deck had a footprint no greater than what would provide for a surface parking lot of maximum allowable parking.

“If anything it will probably create less parking and more greenspace,” Mayor Dennis Shortal said.

Ambulance: Continued from Page 1 each of three fire stations and an additional unit for peak hours.

A new rapid response unit will be added in late August, Fullum said, and the county has 20 new paramedics, who will soon replace posts formerly filled by firefighters or other volunteers.

The county recently purchased seven ambulances, three to replace old units, while the others will be deployed in yet to be determined locations, Fullum said.

“Improvement is happening every day,” he said.

Committee members said they were pleased with strong average response times for first responders.

Dunwoody Mayor Denis Shortal voiced concerns about EMS service, despite the improvements Fullum highlighted.

There are still too many outlier calls, Shortal said, referring to responses that take especially long to arrive. In May, 10 life-threatening calls were reported as outliers, meaning it took more than 24 minutes 51 seconds for an ambulance to arrive.

Shortal asked for an analysis of peak call times, so that ambulances could more efficiently be deployed to service the city.

The unit at Fire Station 12 only received 65 calls in June, he said, but the response

NEWS time standard of 9 minutes or less for 90 percent of calls was still not met.

June figures for Dunwoody show an ambulance arrived in 13 minutes or less for 90 percent of life-threatening calls.

The ability for DeKalb and Dunwoody officials to get together over the last year through the ad hoc special committee has been a big part of Dunwoody’s improvements, Shortal said.

Over the past two quarters, Dunwoody has nearly the best ambulance response time for life-threatening calls compared with the rest of DeKalb County. Still, over the past three months, those times remain at least four minutes slower than the 9-minute benchmark.

Terence Ramotar, AMR’s regional director, said he was happy with the improvement he had seen for service in DeKalb.

“The committee recognized today that there has been marked improvement,” Ramotar said. “While we’d love to get there instantaneously, you can tell that even if we put four (ambulances) in here — and there’s not a whole lot of volume — you still have to deal with the traffic.

When you get to the hospital, they’re overcrowded, and you have to wait there for how long to get the ambulance back in service.”

Dunwoody is not calling it quits.

City Council members plan to go before the Region 3 EMS Council at their August meeting to reassert their call for the city’s own coverage zone.

Holy Innocents’ wrestlers hone skills at national competition

By Dunn Neugebauer For The Crier The last wrestling season at Holy Innocents’ was a good one.

The Bears ended with a top-10 finish in the state wrestling finals in Macon, but three of the local competitors moved on to the next level.

After becoming the first freshman state wrestling champ in HIES history, Jake Swink joined fellow finalists Art Martinez and Tyler White at the 2019 United States Marine Corps Junior National Championships in Fargo, N.D., July 12-19th.

Though the three were eliminated in the freestyle portion of the championships July 13, all returned to action last Wednesday with competitive results in the Greco event.

“This is the largest high school tournament in the world,” Holy Innocents’ wrestling coach Stacey Davis said. “The student-athletes competed on 25 mats and the field consisted of the best wrestlers in the country from 48 states.”

Martinez finished last winter fourth in state; White ended with a top-eight finish overall after a regular season that saw HIES more than competitive, often against schools of larger classifications.

“I’m very proud of these three,” Davis said. “Wrestling in Fargo provided an opportunity to see and compete with the best in the country, while at the same time made for an excellent catalyst for building a great foundation to work on their individual goals of becoming state champions.”

Also in Fargo, former HIES state champ and North Carolina State wrestler Lee Davis (2012) helped coach Team Georgia. Lee, the son of coach Davis, starred in both football and on the mats while a Golden Bear and ended as a Hall of Fame alum in wrestling. He spent his freshman year collegiately on the football fields at Mercer University in Macon before switching sports and transferring to N.C. State.

In other HIES alumni news, rising Wofford sophomore and golf star Emma King has been named by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association as one of the 2018-2019 All-American Scholars.

King was a four-year veteran on the Holy Innocents’ squad and ended her high school career as one of the best golfers in school history, placing in state every year. This past season at Wofford, she competed in 10 tournaments, tying for 16th twice and tying for 13th at the Mimosa Hills Intercollegiate.

OBITUARIES Clarence Harvey Huff, 90, of Dunwoody, died on Wednesday, July 18, 2019. He was the son of the late William Marshall Huff and Lollie Belle Griffith Huff. His wife, Vera Glaydean York Huff, his son, Lloyd Mark Huff, and his son-in-law, HUFF Rudolph Warren Mills, also predeceased him. Surviving are his daughter, Fairy Marsha Huff Mills, and his two grandsons, Robert Wesley Mills, and Andrew Marshall Mills.

Clarence was born in Bogart, Georgia, on May 17, 1929, on his parent’s Oconee County farm. He started picking cotton at the age of 5, and helped his parents and three older brothers work the farm and care for their many animals. After graduating from Bogart High School at the age of 16, he attended the University of Georgia, where he received an undergraduate degree from the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. He went on to receive his Specialist Degree in Teaching from the College of Education at UGA.

COMMUNITY Clarence began teaching school in Dallas, Georgia, at the age of 20, and from there moved to Manchester, Georgia, where he taught agriculture in high school. In 1953, he married the love of his life, Vera Glaydean York, and she moved to Manchester to be with him. Clarence served as the Principal of Manchester High School from 1962 through 1965. While in Manchester, Clarence was also very involved in the Manchester Kiwanis Club and served as their president in 1964. In 1966, he took a position with the Georgia State Department of Education and moved his family to Griffin, Georgia. In 1970, he continued his work with the State Department and moved his family to Atlanta, Georgia. For the next 15 years, he worked on federal funding requests for the education system for the state of Georgia. At the age of 55, he retired from the state department. Shortly thereafter, he took a 6 month position with the DeKalb County School System in their Facilities and Planning division. This turned in to a 25 year career and in 2009, Clarence retired at the age of 80, having worked and served in the field of education for 60 years.

For many years, Clarence traveled the world with his wife until her

death in 1995. He dearly loved his two grandsons, Robby and Andy, and was a “fixture” at their various school, church and sporting events at Murphey-Candler Little League Park, Atlanta Colts Field, Vanderlyn Elementary School, Peachtree Charter Middle School and Dunwoody High School. “Granddad” was known by his grandson’s teammates and they enjoyed having “Granddad” cheer them on as much as he did his own grandsons.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the University Of Georgia College Of Education Excellence Fund in Athens, Georgia.

Visitation and funeral services will be held at H. M. Patterson & Son Arlington Chapel at 173 Allen Road, Sandy Springs, Georgia, on Sunday, July 21, 2019, starting at 1:30 p.m. with the service at 3:00 p.m. Interment will be at Arlington Memorial Park in Sandy Springs next to his beloved wife, Glaydean.

OPINION

The INK PENN

Our personal nature preserve I had a vague memory that I’d already written about our flora and fauna this year and realized I’d asked “Has spring sprung?” in a February column. Perhaps those early signs of spring were an indiKATHY cator of the hot sumMANOS PENN mer to come. Unlike us, the creatures that populate our personal nature preserve seem unfazed by the heat and humidity.

Every morning, the birds provide a show on our deck adjacent to the screened porch where my husband and I start the day. There, we’re joined by the cat and the dog. The first guests are the Carolina Wrens who visit their nest between our chimney and the screen. I know when the cat’s in the corner watching them because their chirps change from sweet tweets to hissing screeches.

It’s always a standoff, Puddin’ imitating a statue and the birds raising a racket.

Next, the hummingbirds flit back and forth between the feeder and the tall trees in the backyard. Occasionally, before the heat gets to be too much, we may see a deer or two wander by, but they save their best show for the evenings.

As the day progresses, the entertainment shifts to the side porch off the kitchen. The hummingbirds visit the feeder out there too, and the cardinals and wrens fly in and out of the azalea bushes. When the gardeners trimmed the azaleas a few months back, they revealed a perfectly formed bird’s nest in one bush, perhaps a cardinal nest.

It’s most often from the kitchen window that we see the neighborhood hawk. He perches on a tree branch in plain sight, and on occasion, lands on the porch railing. This year, my husband watched him land on the grass strip on the side of the driveway, where he seemed to take exception to the soaker

hose. He’d peck at it, fly off, and return to resume his vicious attack. Did he think it was a snake?

After dinner, the show moves to the yard on the other side of the house.

The large windows on either side of the television are perfect for viewing the deer head toward the river. Our home isn’t on the river, but the homes one street over are. We think of the evening parade as deer rush hour. Sometimes we see a herd and sometimes it’s only three to four. We were surprised one night to see three buck jog by in single file, their felted antlers on display.

Though I’ve read that buck are solitary creatures, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen them in a group. For a week or so one summer, a pair bedded down in the woods not far from our porch.

Through those same windows, I can watch the squirrels’ comical attempts to attack the bird feeder. Thankfully, since my husband put a slinky on the pole that holds the feeder, they’re mostly un-

successful. That means I can watch the woodpecker, the cardinals, the chickadees and more eat dinner.

The sight that was a first for me this year? Two coyotes crossing the street in front of our house. I wanted to think the first one was a dog, but seeing the second one close on its heels and something about the way they moved told me these creatures were no dogs.

We haven’t yet seen a bear, but with reports of one being hit on Peachtree Parkway, I can’t help but wonder when we might see a new creature in our personal nature preserve.

PAST TENSE

Vietnam veteran Jim Torbert On July 20th, Dunwoody Preservation Trust featured Vietnam veteran Jim Torbert as part of its History Alive VALERIE series.

BIGGERSTAFF Torbert shared his experiences before, during and after his service. Several Vietnam veterans attended and shared their thoughts and knowledge.

Torbert grew up in St. Louis, Mo., and attended Texas Christian University, where he decided to sign up for ROTC and learn to fly airplanes. He went with Army ROTC, which was a three-year commitment.

Following graduation, he was sent to Fort Eustis, Va. His orders for flight school sent him to Fort Wallace, Texas, followed by Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah. At that point, Torbert was selected for test pilot school and returned to Fort Eustis. In 1968, he received his orders to Vietnam.

From Travis Air Force Base near San Francisco, Torbert flew to Honolulu, the Philippines and then on to Vietnam.

He recalls thinking as the plane flew over San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge, “What have I gotten myself into? I don’t know where I’m going or what I’m doing, but I am going to come back to see this again.”

Torbert was part of the 281st Assault Helicopter Company, known as the Intruders, the first Special Operations helicopter company in the U.S. Army. The helicopters they flew were UH-1s, also known as Hueys. The Huey was called the workhorse of Vietnam because it could be adapted to work as a troop transport, gunship and for medical evacuation. The Intruders sometimes removed soldiers from dense jungle, where a harness device, called the McGuire rig, was used.

Torbert carried two cameras, one of which was a Kodak Instamatic. The instamatic made it possible for him to snap photographs with one hand. He showed some of the

other items that he carried each day during his service.

There was a P38 (a small can opener) for opening rations, his dog tags and a blood chit, a piece of cloth that explains in several languages that the person holding it is American and requests that assistance be offered should they be found injured.

Photographs of the camp helped the audience understand what daily living was like when out in the field. Tanks of water warmed by the sun were used for showers. Clothes were spread out on top of tents to dry. Sandbags were stacked up around the tents for protection from gunfire. One night, five men at the camp were killed by a direct hit of mortar rounds.

There were some good memories of close friends, listening to music on reel-to-reel tape, and USO shows. Torbert saw comedian Martha Raye, who signed her name on a helicopter shield with lipstick following her performance. The USO also ran a beach at Nha Trang with lifeguards and a guard tower. He was able to visit the beach one time during his tour, joined by a nurse stationed nearby for a picnic.

Torbert speaks to adults and students about the Vietnam War and has found the amount of classroom and textbook coverage in schools is minimal. By sharing his personal experience, knowledge of the history, photographs and video, he brings a greater understanding of this war.

Let’s talk aging and bladder control While it is normal to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed discussing bladder issues such as incontinence, it is important to understand just how common these problems are for aging women. The involuntary loss or leaking of urine is a common syndrome that affects at least 1 in 3 older women, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Symptoms may range from minor issues such as slight bladder leaks to the need for the protection of an adult diaper to prevent the complete and sudden loss of bladder control. Chief of Surgery for Emory University Hospital and Division Director for Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, Gina Northington, MD, PhD informs her patients that while common, “Bladder leakage is NOT normal aging. There are often functional problems of the nerves and muscles within the pelvic floor that can be treated to improve bladder control.”

Sana Ansari, MD who treats patients at both Emory Johns Creek Hospital and Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital agrees,

“No matter the severity of the urinary incontinence, if the incontinence is affecting your life and relationships in any way, then it’s time to take control and do something more about it.”

Knowing the various types of urinary incontinence can help you have a discussion with your doctor and ultimately identify the appropriate treatment plan for you: • Stress incontinence: leaking of urine when laughing, coughing, or lifting, which is usually caused by weakened pelvic muscles.

• Urgency incontinence: the sudden need to urinate that results in large amounts of urine leaking out before getting to the bathroom.

• Overflow incontinence: when urine leaks because the bladder has become overly full or doesn’t empty all the way.

• Functional incontinence: the natural urge to urinate, but taking too long to get to the bathroom - this can be especially common for those living with arthritis or another type of physical disability.

• Mixed incontinence: having a

As part of Emory Healthcare, the largest and most comprehensive hospital system in Atlanta, Emory Women's Center offers our patients diagnostic and therapeutic options tailored to their specific pelvic floor needs. 61% of women over 65 years old suffer from urinary or bowel incontinence.

We offer coordinated interdisciplinary care that includes primary care physicians, gynecologists, urologists, gastroenterologists, and colorectal surgeons.

combination of any of the above types of urinary incontinence – this is very common in aging and older women.

The Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery experts at Emory Women’s Center at Findley provide advanced diagnostic and therapeutic options for women with urinary incontinence and overactive bladder. Because we offer our patients coordinated interdisciplinary care that includes primary care physicians, gynecologists, urologists, gastroenterologists, and colorectal surgeons we can help our patients or their caregivers have the confidence to address any bladder issues they may be confronting.

When planning your appointment with our urogynecologists here are some tips to help you make the most of your appointment: • Be prepared by having a list of the prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins you take, and a list of your past and current illnesses or injuries.

• Bring a caregiver, friend, or relative

to go with you to the doctor. They can help bring up topics or questions you may forget to ask. These support persons can also remind you of things the health care provider said after you leave your appointment.

• Be candid. Your provider wants to know everything you’re experiencing.

Feel free to discuss your symptoms and how they are impacting your daily life.

Please make an appointment with one of our Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery providers to discuss your bladder treatment options today. Emory Women’s Center has four convenient locations to serve you: Emory University Hospital/The Emory Clinic on Clifton Road, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Emory Saint Joseph’s, and Emory Johns Creek Hospital.

Previewing the 2019 St. Pius football season with Nick Joiner

By Luke Winstel For The Crier The 2019 St. Pius X High School football team will look different from the squad that made the second round of the playoffs a year ago. Twenty-eight seniors, including the majority of the team’s offensive starters, graduated. A lot will be asked of the small class of 2020.

Nick Joiner, one of the top seniors for the Golden Lions, is expected to be a major contributor in the upcoming year.

We spoke with him to discuss the young team last week.

Q: What would you say is the team’s biggest strength at this point in the season?

A: I think our biggest strength is how close we have come together in the offseason. Having been a part of teams that haven’t been close, I know how important it is to be connected with the younger guys, especially this year since some of them will be playing.

Q: What or who has been the biggest surprise to you this offseason?

A: Lawson Schultz has really stepped up as a leader over the summer. It makes a huge difference during the offseason, because there is no immediate reward to the work we’ve been putting in, but he has placed in everyone’s mind that the work we do right now can only put us in a better position to win on Friday nights.

Q: What thing or things has the team been working on most this offseason?

A: Every summer we work on the passing game a lot, and it has improved a lot throughout the offseason.

Q: What has been the biggest difference between last year’s team and this year’s team thus far?

A: The number of seniors dropped from 28 to 11 which is a big change, but every senior has accepted the challenge.

Another big change is the amount of experience we have coming back, but the sophomores and juniors understand they play a big role now.

Q: Which young guys have stepped up into key roles or leadership roles after the class of 2019 graduated?

A: Charlie Long had varsity experience as a sophomore and has taken the lead of the offensive line and brought the guys who don’t have that experience with him. Cameron Cainon has also stepped up knowing he will play a big role on both sides of the ball.

Q: How would you describe the SPX football class of 2020 in a phrase

Football: Continued from Page 11 or sentence?

A: The 2020 senior class is willing to do whatever it takes to prepare the younger guys as well as take charge of our team and lead them in the right direction. Every year we’ve had a small senior class the team has been close, and the chemistry has been there. We don’t plan to change that at all.

Q: What has been your favorite football moment at St. Pius to this point?

A: My favorite St. Pius football moment would have to be carrying the flags down the night of the pink out my junior year. Breast cancer has affected my life directly, and leading the team down that night was something special.

Q: What is next for you? Are you planning to play in college?

A: I have not decided yet if I want to continue playing in college, but that could easily change depending on any opportunities that arise my senior year. I have met with a good number of coaches who have shown interest but have no standing offers at this point.

Stephen Campana won the discus championship at the 2019 USA Track and Field Region 4 Junior Olympic Outdoor Championships.

Chamblee Charter junior wins discus title DUNWOODY, Ga. — Stephen Campana won the discus championship at the 2019 USA Track and Field Region 4 Junior Olympic Outdoor Championships held over the July 4 weekend at Winthrop University, Rock Hill, S.C. Campana, a rising junior at Chamblee Charter High School, competes on the school’s track and field team and is a thrower for the Rockslingers Track Association team.

“Campana has been throwing for a short time but has been making such great progress,” said Joe Profit, a coach from Rockslingers Track Association. “He really seems to love throwing the discus, but he’s competitive in shot put as well.

He’s one of the hardest working athletes that I know. I knew that he was going to compete well this season.”

The USA Track and Field Junior Olympic outdoor season has three stages. The

first is the State Association which takes the top eight athletes from each event to one of 16 regional championships.

The top five athletes from each region advance to the 2019 USA Track and Field Junior Olympic National Championships in Sacramento, Calif.

Campana is forgoing this year’s national championships to compete in the Georgia Games at McEachern High School this week.

Athletes who place in the top three in each event will advance to the National Congress of State Games of America 2019 in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Campana is looking forward to an indoor track and field season as well as the 2020 high school track and field season.

He wants to break his school record in the discus and get on the medal stand at the Georgia High School State Championships, he said.
