City explores plan to revoke contract with DeKalb Schools

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody is set this week to consider a new intergovernmental agreement with DeKalb Schools to increase the city’s oversight of school site plans.

The move follows recent contentious trailer additions at Dunwoody schools.

One trailer at Dunwoody Elementary School and one at Dunwoody High School were not ready for the first day of classes on Aug. 8 because of issues with the city. When the district began installation of the trailers last month, it placed one trailer at the high school on a sidewalk resting atop cinderblocks before a

stop work order forced district officials to get its land disturbance permit approved to move the trailer.

School officials have also found mold and water damage in several trailers, which they are still working to remedy.

Dunwoody City Councilman Terry Nall said it is time to revoke the city’s memorandum of understanding with the school district.

He presented a five-part plan to the City Council on Monday. The plan outlines a way for the city to revoke the contract, offer a new intergovernmental agreement and seek a second legal opinion to understand which parts of school construction and maintenance the city has enforcement powers over.

The current opinion of city attorneys is that the city only has enforcement powers against the school district over issues involving land disturbance and fire safety.

“Even though the state Department of Education says the school district must obtain permits, must provide site review, must work with the city … the question is, ‘what if they don’t?’” Nall said. “We believe that we are in a limbo of no legislation that gives us that (enforcement) authority.”

There is no state statute that gives the city authority to enforce city codes on school site plans and construction beyond fire safety and land disturbance, he said.

The plan outlines five steps.

First, the city would revoke its memorandum of understanding with the school district. This would also eliminate the school district’s ability to use the city’s alternative professional engineer stamp program for construction projects.

Under that program, the school district may hire a third party engineer to approve site plans. Without that program, the school district would be forced to gain approval through city engineers.

Second, the plan would offer the school district an intergovernmental agreement to create an enforceable city engineer and staff review process for

Regional EMS council re-forms Dunwoody’s ad hoc committee

By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — In their latest efforts to form their own ambulance service zone — apart from much of the rest of DeKalb County — Dunwoody city officials presented their case to the Region 3 EMS Council.

The effort paid off to some extent when the council voted to revive a special panel to keep tabs on ambulance service in the area.

State Rep. Mike Wilensky, who accompanied the group, spoke first at the Aug. 8 meeting held in Riverdale. Wilensky said he came because constituents reached out to him saying this was a critical issue for their city. He asked the council to consider allowing a separate zone for Dunwoody and other cities north of Interstate 285.

Wilensky said that in conversations with officials from the Department of Public Health he was told one of the keys for an efficient ambulance zone is for all regions to be on the same 911 call service. DeKalb County is one ambulance zone but has multiple different call services for different cities.

Johns Creek, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs and Dunwoody all have the same 911 call center, Chattahoochee River 911 Authority or Chatcomm.

Currently, there is still a transfer process for ambulance calls to DeKalb’s E911 service, which adds an additional step in the process of dispatching an ambulance. Dunwoody has advocated for a separate ambulance coverage area north of I-285 since the beginning of this process, and ambulance zones are not bound to county lines.

Dunwoody Mayor Denis Shortal asked the council to reconstitute a special ad hoc EMS committee, so that it could continue issuing reports to the re-

gional council about ambulance service.

“They are a mediator between the county and the city,” Shortal said. “They don’t take sides. They are a neutral mediator, so they have an open view. I would like them to continue until the EMS (request for proposal) is signed and fully implemented.”

Dunwoody was assigned its own special ad hoc EMS committee a year ago in response to slow ambulance response times. The city later signed an agreement with DeKalb County to make substantial improvements to EMS service in the city.

During the ad hoc committee’s last meeting on July 18, it voted to suspend all future meetings. The decision to dissolve was rendered because the county had demonstrated enough improvement to fulfill the council’s purpose, said Rich Elliott, a committee member and Deputy Fire Chief of Clayton County.

That decision prompted Dunwoody City Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch to say that the city was, “Back to the beginning.”

The EMS council voted to re-form the ad hoc committee and have it report back to the regional council every six months. The first report will be at the February 2020 regional council meeting.

Much of Dunwoody and the rest of DeKalb’s future EMS service will depend on the next contract with an ambulance service provider. Fire Chief Darnell Fullum said the current contract with American Medical Response will be extended through the end of the year. A county evaluation committee will recommend at future provider to county CEO Mike Thurmond and the Board of Commissioners.

The recommendation is expected by Aug. 31, Fullum said, though originally

Council: Continued from Page 3

the board was expected to see a recommendation in June.

The regional council did not address the issue of cities north of I-285 to accepting bids for their own ambulance provider.

Shortal said he expects to meet in the next week with Thurmond to discuss the city’s contract for EMS service with DeKalb County. Part of the contract, signed last fall, includes a requirement that EMS arrives on scene of life-threatening calls in 9 minutes or less for 90 percent calls and 15 minutes or less for non-life-threatening calls.

The city sent a resolution to DeKalb County in late July stating the benchmarks have not been met for any monthly report since November, despite county efforts to improve service.

DeKalb County has argued it has added an ambulance to each of three fire stations in the city and an additional unit for peak hours.

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

However, first responder times —

which can include fire rescue — in June were 8 minutes 50 seconds or less for the same benchmark, which county officials have stated meets the contract requirement.

Fullum told Dunwoody City Council members in a recent private meeting that given the county’s current resources, it will not be able to meet the 9 minute requirement set in the contract without drawing significant resources away from the rest of the county. City Councilman Terry Nall said this demonstrates why Dunwoody needs a separate zone.

“Our geographic size is smaller,” Nall said. “But our daytime population of 120,000 concentrated people makes it a very large and critical zone. But it also makes it viable from an economic perspective.

“We made the request May of 2018 for a new ambulance zone, and they (Region 3 EMS Council) have yet to rule on that,” Nall said.

Clarification The headline for an Aug. 8 article describing Dunwoody joining a nationwide lawsuit seeking damages for the opioid crisis should have mentioned not only manufacturers but also distributors.

Dunwoody launches pedestrian safety campaign DUNWOODY, Ga. — The City of Dunwoody is rolling out its pedestrian safety campaign “See and Be Seen: We’re All Responsible,” this week.

The campaign is designed to help drivers and pedestrians understand and obey the rules of the road.

“Our mayor and City Council are very concerned about this issue,” Dunwoody Communications Director Jennifer Boettcher said. “After some close calls and accidents this year, they wanted the city to do more. The start of a new school year is the perfect time to talk about what drivers and pedestrians can do to make our roads and crosswalks safer.”

The campaign includes videos, ads, a special website and social media posts that focus on education, enforce-

ment and solutions. It is a coordinated campaign involving Dunwoody Police, Dunwoody Public Works, Dunwoody GIS and the pedestrian advocacy group PEDS. The Dunwoody Police Department has conducted several pedestrian traffic safety enforcement details in 2019.

One is featured in a video for the campaign. During a detail in April, 32 citations were written and two arrests were made for hands-free violations, seatbelt violations and drivers failing to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.

“A big safety concern for pedestrians and motorists alike is distracted

drivers,” Dunwoody Police Chief Billy Grogan said. “To that end, Dunwoody officers have issued 1,174 citations since the new Hands-Free Law went into effect July 1, 2018.”

In the 10 years since incorporation, Dunwoody has expanded the sidewalk network by 20 percent with 11 miles of new sidewalks.

The city is halfway to its goal of having sidewalks on both sides of all arterial and collector roads. Most of the improvements recommended in a Pedestrian Safety Action Plan in 2014 have been implemented with additional improvements planned within the next two years.

Dunwoody and Chamblee join forces for recycling event

SPECIAL

Dunwoody and Chamblee residents can recycle their household hazardous waste at Plaza Fiesta, 4166 Buford Highway NE, at an event hosted by both cities to dispose of hazardous material safely.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — The cities of Dunwoody and Chamblee are partnering for a free household hazardous waste recycling event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m on Aug. 24 at Plaza Fiesta, 4166 Buford Highway NE. “We’re actually holding two events with Chamblee,” said Dunwoody Community Development Director Richard McLeod. “The first is in Chamblee. The second will be on October 13 at the Georgia State University Dunwoody Campus.

“Both offer residents a great way to dispose of hazardous items safely. It’s an important initiative of our Sustainability Committee.”

Residents are required to pre-register. Dunwoody residents can register at dunwoodyga.gov/wasterecycling.

Chamblee residents can register at hazardouswaste-chamblee2019.eventbrite.com.

They’ll need to bring proof of residency to the event. Disposal is limited to residential quantities.

“We’re happy to come together to provide these services in one big event,” said Rebecca Keefer, Chamblee planning and development special projects manager. “This way, items that are toxic, flammable, reactive or corrosive don’t enter our environment and damage soil, groundwater and streams or cause harm to people and animals.”

The INK PENN

Remembering Dr. Seuss I have fond memories of reading my Dr. Seuss books and still have three titles on my bookshelf. The sing-song verses and the bold illustrations made me laugh. I also have a vague memory of KATHY Melania Trump being MANOS PENN chastised by a librarian for sending a box of books containing Dr. Seuss titles to a school in Massachusetts in celebration of National Read a Book Day.

OPINION

The librarian noted: “Dr. Seuss is a bit of a cliché, a tired and worn ambassador for children’s literature … Dr. Suess’s illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures and harmful stereotypes.” This memory was resurrected for me when I read a Wall Street Journal book review of a new biography “Becoming Dr. Seuss.” The reviewer notes that despite this negative sentiment, Dr. Seuss books “occupied 14 of the 25 top slots in Publisher’s Weekly’s list of best-selling children’s picture books” in March of this year.

Before he became the beloved Dr. Seuss, many of Theodore Geisel’s political cartoons during WWII attacked “racism, bigotry, and anti-Semitism,” but at the same time portrayed Japanese Americans as a danger to America. And, as his biographer points out, Geisel’s early children’s books, before “The Cat in the Hat,” contained ethnic and racial caricatures that would be seen as horrifying today.

One researcher “conducted a critical race analysis of 50 children’s books by Seuss and found that 98 percent of the human characters were white, and only 2 percent were people of color.” Yet another determined that the Cat in the Hat has its “roots in blackface minstrelsy.”

Perhaps I cannot see the harm in his later books because I’ve never seen the earlier works. The hoopla around rethinking Dr. Seuss prompted me to look at my books, “The Cat in the Hat,” “The Cat in the Hat Comes Back,” and “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.” I smiled as I flipped through them searching in vain for the “racist propaganda, caricatures and harmful stereotypes” pointed out by others. My inability to see them may be an indicator that I’m not sufficiently woke.

I had a sudden flash of Rosie O’Donnell playing The Cat in the Hat in “Seussical” on Broadway in 2000 and Jim Carrey playing the Grinch in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” the same year. I could not, however, unearth any condemnation of either actor for starring in these shows. Further research revealed that “Seussical” is still being produced by theatre companies and schools despite the shortcomings of its namesake. How is it that we can condemn the books but not the plays and movies based on them?

Of course, Dr. Seuss is in good

company these days, as people call for removing the names of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Woodrow Wilson from buildings and institutions across America because of their beliefs and behaviors hundreds of years ago despite their contributions to our nation.

Singer Kate Smith’s rendition of “God Bless America” has similarly been banished by the New York Yankees and The Philadelphia Flyers because she recorded songs with racial content in the ’30s.

To borrow a term from George Orwell’s “1984,” these historical icons are being dumped down the memory hole, “in effect, re-writing all of history to match the often-changing” world we live in.

Perhaps Dr. Seuss said it best: “Humor is a funny thing. You pick something out of the air. If the air changes, It’s not funny anymore.” My air hasn’t changed.

‘Silk & Stitch’ exhibit comes to DeKalb History Center

SPECIAL

This blue afternoon dress, circa 1880s, is one of the beautiful examples at the ‘Silk & Stitch’ exhibit at DeKalb HIstory Center. The dress is made from silk faille and glazed cotton lining, with embellishments of hand embroidery, hand-worked buttonholes, hand-stitched ruching, interfaced box pleats and decorative brass or bronze buttons.

Silk peau de soie, lace, bias cut china silk chevrons, ruffles, leaf detail, hand-beaded glass seed beads, teardropshaped medallions, hand-embroidered satin stitched flowers. These are just VALERIE a few of the embelBIGGERSTAFF lishments seen on examples of women’s clothing and accessories at the Silk & Stitch Exhibit at DeKalb History Center.

The exhibit covers a time period of 1870 through 1960, with examples from several different eras. There are examples from the post-Civil War era, including an 1880s ivory wedding gown.

A turn-of-the-century dress demonstrates the bustle and leg-of-mutton sleeve. Examples from the early 20th century represent the end of the Victorian Era, and the fact that more women were getting an education, and more were employed.

Examples from the 1920s include a pink shawl embellished with hand-knotted fringe, hand-embroidered satin stich

and seed stitch and a hand-embroidered silk slip. A brown rayon crepe dress with a self-fabric belt and adorned with glass beads, rhinestones, faux pearls and bound buttonholes represents the 1930s.

World War II had an influence on style, as rationing caused a shortage of fabric, and women’s clothing became more practical and comfortable. Women were encouraged to recycle and repurpose clothing. Hollywood also influenced fashion during this time.

The Silk & Stich exhibit includes accessories, such as beaded handbags.

Handbags were small, because only a few items were carried in them.

The exhibit was put together by Rebecca Selem, the Exhibit and Communications director of DeKalb History Center.

“We have a vast collection of textiles in our collection, so we decided it was time to put an exhibit together to show them off to the world,” Selem said. “It was difficult to come up with a common theme for the exhibit at first, but when Charity Armstead, textile consultant for Silk & Stitch, and I started going through the collection, we came

upon clothing with magnificent embellishments and fabrics, and it became obvious.

“I am very grateful to have the opportunity to show these beautiful pieces to the public. Without the generosity of those who donated to this exhibit, these garments would still be tucked away in their boxes.”

Two of the accessories, a white satin hat and blue beaded 1920s purse, are on loan from Kat Nager, the director of Atlanta Historic Dance. The dance group performed at the July 11th opening reception of Silk & Stitch.

Other exhibits currently at DeKalb History Center include “Reclaimed by Nature: The Historic Davidson Quarries of Arabia Mountain,” “Decorative Arts from the Permanent Collection” and “Deep Roots in DeKalb: The Flat Rock Story of Resilience.”

The exhibit can be viewed Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

There is no admission fee for the exhibit, however, donations are appreciated, and membership in the DeKalb Historical Society with its many benefits is encouraged.

The Investment Coach

Debt and free stuff American existentialist philosopher William Earle (1919-1988) famously declared, “If your outgo exceeds your income, then your upkeep will your downfall.”

Lewis J. Walker, CFP be This basic tenant of personal financial responsibility seems forgotten by many, given the reality of how many people cannot scrape together even modest amounts of money to meet an unexpected emergency. We see debt challenges in the numbers who cannot pay off credit card balances with usurious interest rates, plus anguish over student loan burdens and default rates.

It’s a simple truth. If you spend more than you earn, never save for a “rainy day,” you will have a stressful and unhappy life. How does that basic bromide apply to governments? The Wall Street Journal (6/26/19) headlined, “Deficits May Double As Share of GDP.” America continues to spend more than we earn in taxes and fees. “Budget deficits are on track to more than double as a share of the economy,” noted the paper. Yet, the dollar is strong against most currencies in the world. How does that work?

Unlike households, states, and cities, the federal government has a monetary “printing press.” Currently our economy is the strongest on the planet. Travel to most places in the world and dollars are

COMMUNITY

gladly accepted. You cannot find similar acceptance of the Chinese renminbi, Russian ruble, or Venezuelan bolívar.

Once the English pound sterling was the global standard. As the British Empire receded, post-WW II the dollar ascended as the dominant global trading currency.

In 1999 when the European Union created the euro, it was theorized the new currency could supplant the dollar as the global yardstick. That hasn’t happened. As recently as 2008, it took $1.58 U.S. to buy one euro. Today, it takes $1.14. Why is the dollar stronger even as we continue to pile up debt?

Think about it. At one time U.S. paper currency was redeemable in actual gold or silver. Coins contained real precious metals. No more. Notes redeemable in gold ended in 1933 and silver in 1968. Today’s paper money is backed by nothing other than “the full faith and credit of the United States of America.”

Looking at all of the countries across our somewhat turbulent planet with nothing but unbacked paper currencies, which country would you prefer to lend money to if you had to? Right now, of all of the bets available, America is tops.

History teaches, as you expand the money supply, which is easy to do when currency is tethered to nothing of tangible value other than a promise, prices rise, inflationary pressures generally increase. In 2019 it takes $7.36 to buy what $1 bought in 1968, the last year the dollar was redeemable in silver — an inflation rate of 636 percent.

That was 51 years ago, you say. If you are a 20-year-old in the work force or military, or on the cusp of graduation from college, in 51 years, God willing, you likely will be retired. At the same assumed rate of inflation, your $1 million today’s retirement nest egg target will require, $7,360,000. How ‘bout them apples?

No matter your time frame, the goal of savings is to accumulate purchasing power in future after-tax dollars. The WSJ

noted that America’s debt load could grow to 144 percent of GDP by 2049, up from 78 percent projected this year. The surge largely stems from higher spending on Social Security and Medicare, rising interest costs on government debt, and the 2017 tax cut. However, federal revenues have hit all-time highs since the tax reductions as our economy grew faster and more jobs were created. (www.Investors.com, 10/16/2018). We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

In 1968 economist Herbert Stein participated in a Congressional hearing on politicians increasing debt ceilings.

Intoned Stein, “I recently came to a remarkable conclusion…and that is if something cannot go on forever it will stop. So, what we have learned about all these things is that the federal debt cannot rise forever relative to the GNP. But, of course, if they can’t, they will stop.”

Candidates running for president are Dunwoody Crier 8/15/19 Crossword promising a largess of “free stuff” for citizens and non-citizens. Some are honest enough to acknowledge that everyone, business and individuals, including the middle class, will pay higher taxes. Borrowing costs will soar. Interest rates will rise along with inflation, generating more debt pressure. Think about the impact on your future buying power, take-home pay, job prospects and job security in a potentially slowing economy, your 401(K) balance, retirement security.

Think carefully, citizen. If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.

Schools: Continued from Page 1 construction. Under the agreement, the school district must adhere to city ordinances, state statutes and other relevant codes.

The school district does not have great incentive to agree to this, Nall said, other than to attempt to repair its bad reputation given recent events in Dunwoody. If the school district does join the agreement, then Dunwoody will rely on the last parts of the plan, seeking a second legal opinion on current state statutes.

The plan states the city will seek legal counsel to review code enforceability limits of the city against the school district for construction projects, and ongoing maintenance and repair projects. The plan also asks for a legislative priority at the state level to clarify enforcement powers for cities against school districts in these areas.

“We’ve got to put a stop to this,” Nall said. “We’ve got to put a stop to the murkiness that the state has here.”

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 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 inconti-

nence 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.

Transforming lives, strengthening community The Assistance League — exceptional philanthropy

By LEE CHADWICK Guest contributor Many charitable organizations focus on one area of need, but The Assistance League, formed in California in 1919, tackles many at once, very successfully.

Chadwick Operation School Bell is the one universal national program operating in all 120 regional locations. In 2018, in Atlanta alone, Operation School Bell distributed wardrobes through 235 elementary and middle schools to provide 14,707 students with every item needed for a full week of changes of brand new clothing, as well as contributions of hygiene kits, shoes and a backpack. This work is replicated in all 120 chapters across America. All work is accomplished by volunteers, serving others, on the scale of a federal program!

On an annual basis these committed citizens from all the surrounding suburbs generate as much as $60 million to invest in their individual regions. Add 3.5 million hours of volunteer service, worth another $50 to $70 million, and it is easy to see their influence is far-reaching and life changing.

Beyond the national program, members conduct a detailed “needs assessment” in each of their own regions in order to develop responses to impact the problems they uncover. In Atlanta these programs, funded by a much-loved thrift

Rotarians hear report on Costco’s outlook for future The Rotary Club of Dunwoody has set a goal of learning more about the businesses and vocations of its members, one of the original purposes of the organization when it was founded in 1905.

Members recently heard from Todd Galanti, a Dunwoody Rotarian and a 1997 graduate of Dunwoody High School, who serves as warehouse manager for the Dunwoody Costco. Having just returned from Costco’s annual managers meeting in Seattle, Galanti provided up-to-date facts and figures about Costco and its competitors.

He reported Costco had corporate total sales of $149 billion in the past year and has a work staff of 245, 000 employees.

The company will be opening a store in China in two weeks. Costco’s profits are derived from membership fees, he said, not from the sale of their goods and services.

The average age of the members is 53, and their inventory of 3,800 items turns over every month. Kirkland, Costco’s own brand is the No. 1 selling brand, and Coca Cola is No. 2.

Galanti asked for a show of hands of those who have used their car dealership, car rental business, travel agency, photo center or bought gas.

Why is Costco bucking the brick and mortar trend? The perception, Galanti said, is that Costco is honest, clean and values its connection with people. Investment in its employees who have job security is also a key to success of the company.

Galanti added that Costco also has commendable community relations. Last year the company gave $43,000 in donations, 324,000 backpacks, and provided 2,534 volunteer readers in schools.

The company’s success is a direct result of their staying true to their mission and code of ethics, which includes “continual provision of quality goods and services at the lowest prices,” he said.

Costco will open 20 new locations in 2020.

SPORTS

Golden Bear football: High on talent, high on optimism The Bears kick off regular season Saturday, Aug. 24 against Mt. Pisgah at Riverwood.

By Dunn Neugebauer For The Crier

Could this be the year the Holy Innocents’ football program has been waiting for?

Third-year coach Todd Winter isn’t making any such predictions, though a look at some numbers and his senior-led roster has to have his Golden Bear family filled with optimism.

They were 6-6 last year with only five seniors; this time around HI will line up with 16 upperclassmen. Also, the Bears have three Preseason All-State performers in running back Michael Cox, linebacker/running back Hunter Hawk and punter Marshall Nichols. Finally, a solid spring game last May and a great two weeks of practice could put even the most pessimistic in a positive mindset when looking at the upcoming 2019 season.

“Yes, we’ve got 16 seniors which has translated to great senior leadership,” Winter said. “This has led to very efficient practices. Also, our overall knowledge of the game is a lot farther along than last year, and we are also farther

along in strength and conditioning.”

The Bears return eight starters on offense and 10 on defense — two more very positive stats. On the offensive side, Matt Davis will get the nod at quarterback, with Ronny Williams getting in reps as the backup. They will have two exceptional but different-in-style B backs to hand it to in Michael Cox and Donovan Johnson.

“Michael is the power runner, while Donovan is more of a tailback, finesse type of back,” Winter said. Cox broke season records in touchdowns and yards rushing last year, while at the same time carried the ball 240 times with no fumbles.

As for the A-backs, Hawk, TyQuann Alexander, Jack Felton and Leighton Dickson are four who should see plenty of action.

Still, another positive is that HI will run it behind a solid offensive line.

James Gleeson and Conor Swennumson are both working at center; the guards are Charlie Hawk, Tyler White and Hall O’Neal; and the tackles include Mac Mitchell and Blake Dobbs.

At tight end are Landon Kardian, William Willis and Hayes Reifenberger. The

split ends include Christian Padgett, Dickson, Kardian and Johnson.

On the defensive side, Winter has a slew of linemen, some of whom include Cox, Sam Aiken, O’Neal, Griffin McKinnis, Moreland Bell, Spencer Goetz, Charlie Mallady and Dobbs. As for the linebacker corps, Willis, Hawk and Bell should all see plenty of time.

Bo Maxwell, Kardian and Williams are the outside linebackers.

In the secondary, Alexander, Dickson and Donovan should be the cornerbacks, Padgett and Felton the safeties.

The kicking crew should be as strong as ever with Nichols — already receiving D1 offers as only a junior — will again handle the punting, while Peter Wandkte has been a pleasant surprise as a kicker.

Looking at the schedule, every game is vital with the Power Ranking system, though Winter still has his eye on three games in particular.

“Basically, you must beat the teams that don’t win a lot of games, and I feel we have to win six to get into the playoffs,” he said. “We messed around and cut that close last year.

As for three key games, I feel that Hebron Christian, Wesleyan and Eagles Landing will all be big.”

Winter, with a simple but effective work ethic philosophy, broke down his team’s goals this way when looking at both sides of the ball.

“On offense, there are three things: don’t turn the ball over, get a first down on every possession and eliminate penalties,” he said. “Defensively, the name of the game is to create negative plays.”

The Bears will kick off regular season Saturday, Aug. 24th against Mt. Pisgah at Riverwood.

Takeaways from the St. Pius X football scrimmage

By Luke Winstel For The Crier Last Friday night, the St. Pius X Catholic High School football team traveled to the Lovett School to play their annual scrimmage. Even though the score was not officially kept in the game, the Golden Lions had several takeaways from the contest.

The team’s A-backs excelled running outside of the tackles, generating chunks of yardage on nearly every drive.

Jadon Rogers had a 20-yard dash on the team’s opening drive to set the Golden Lions up near the red zone. Junior Mason Benefield and sophomore Cam Cainion also impressed, using their speed and agility to hit holes quickly and break off several stellar runs in the first half. Freshman fullback Shug Bentley excelled as an interior rusher, complimenting the work of Benefield, Rogers and Cainion.

Eli Marshbank, a senior transfer in his first year at St. Pius, turned heads with his performance on special teams.

He connected on a 50-yard field goal at the end of the first half and had multiple touchbacks on kickoffs. Marshbank is expected to be a major part of the Golden Lions’ special teams unit this season.

The Golden Lions will face off against Blessed Trinity on August 23, in the opening game of the regular season.

The Golden Lions will aim to defeat Blessed Trinity in the annual Crosstown Showdown for the first time since 2012. The defending back-to-back state champions had six 2019 preseason allstate selections and are led by future Division I athlete Quinton Reese and North Carolina running back commit Elijah Green.
