Dunwoody council to consider new hotel at Ravinia

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Council is set to consider a request to build a hotel, restaurants and retail complex in Ravinia office park at the corner of Ashford Dunwoody Road and I-285.

The council heard the first reading of the rezoning request Aug. 26. The property, at 11 Ravinia Parkway, is currently undeveloped.

“It is really a gateway site into the community,” Dunwoody Community Development Director Richard McLeod said. “It’s not developed today. It’s comprised of a grassy knoll in the center and several trees near the perimeter.”

The petition, RZ19-02, seeks a rezoning from Office, Commercial, Residential to PC-2, a type of mixed-used district specific to the Perimeter Center area.

According to plans provided by the developer, the lot would feature 42,000 square feet of restaurants and retail, including white-tablecloth dining, and an eight-story boutique hotel. The property

would have a shopfront appearance with wider sidewalks, streetscaping and the majority of the parking in the rear or below grade.

The Dunwoody Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions in a 6-0 vote July 9. No residents spoke for or against the proposal during the City Council public hearing Aug. 26.

The council raised questions about the

The plan would require the removal of 68 trees, including 14 mature oaks.

However, city staff said it is likely the trees

would be removed anyway for I-285 express lanes. To mitigate the impact of tree removal, one of the recommended staff

Dunwoody approves utility regulations, zoning withdrawal

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — At its Aug. 26 meeting, the Dunwoody City Council unanimously approved new regulations for the markings made by underground utility companies.

The revision to the city code requires contractors and utilities use white paint, stakes or flags for all excavations on the city’s right of way. It also requires that all markings are removed at the completion of any excavation project.

The intent of the change was to limit

the area of utility marking to only what is required for the excavation.

The council noted this change will be difficult to enforce because of limited staff and conflicting state law. Still, the new rules passed unanimously.

The council also unanimously accepted the withdrawal of a rezon-

ing request. The proposal was to build single-family homes on Roberts Drive across from Austin Elementary School.

The applicant said they intend to come back in the future once they have developed a new plan with more neighbors on board.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A woman reported she was defrauded out of thousands of dollars after she received a call from someone who claimed there were problems with her Social Security account.

Police were contacted Aug. 20 at the Target on Perimeter Center Place after the woman had purchased $7,000 in gift cards to pay her way out of trouble with the caller.

The woman said the call showed up as “Municipal Court Law Enforcement,” and the male caller said her she had mul-

Neighbor issued warning for aggressive behavior DUNWOODY, Ga. — Authorities responded Aug. 25 to a neighbor dispute and disorderly conduct call at a residence on Wintercrest Place. A man was seen pounding on his neighbor’s door and trying to turn the doorknob in an attempt to get the homeowner to turn off their porch exterior lights. When the man previously called police, he was told that the exterior lights were causing no ordinance violations, and they refused to respond. When authorities made contact with the man, they noticed the smell of alcohol on his breath.

The neighbors told authorities that a similar incident happened a week prior with the man. They were frightened by the current attempt to enter their residence so early in the morning. The man was issued a verbal warning and advised to voice his complaints properly with the HOA instead.

Employee suspects patron of stealing her wallet DUNWOODY, Ga. – A female employee at Macy’s at Perimeter Mall told police Aug.

tiple Social Security accounts. She was told that if she did not purchase $7,000 of Target gift cards and give him the numbers, she would be arrested. She immediately purchased the cards and gave him all of the information.

A Target associate told police that the request exceeded the limit of cards that can be purchased at once. The woman made multiple transactions to bypass the rule. The cards were confirmed purchased and the incident is currently under investigation.

She said while she was working the Dior make-up counter, she placed her wallet on the back counter on the employee’s side where customers are not permitted. After tending to customers, she looked back and noticed her wallet was missing. She suspected that it was a customer who came to the store to return items. She provided authorities with a return receipt showing the identity of the suspect.

Later, during a bathroom break, the employee found her wallet, but it had been emptied of her license, weapons carry permit, credit cards, debit cards and other personal items.

No surveillance footage was recovered to prove the incident and loss prevention denied ever seeing the suspect take the wallet and enter a restroom.

Truck owner reports license plate stolen DUNWOODY, Ga. — A man reported to authorities Aug. 24 that the license plate on his white GMC Sierra truck had been stolen. The vehicle had been parked at his residence on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. He told police that the theft occurred sometime between Aug. 21 and Aug. 24 while it was parked in the apartment lot.

There was no surveillance footage of the incident and a case card was filed.

The incident is still under investigation.

Hotel: Continued from Page 1 conditions requires planting new trees.

The site has the potential to be impacted by I-285 express lanes and Dunwoody’s proposed westside connector, which would create a grade separated ramp to connect I-285 to Perimeter Center Parkway.

“What I’m concerned about is white-tablecloth dining with an interstate going over its head,” Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch said.

The plans for both projects are still in the early stages so it is unclear to what degree the Ravinia property would be affected or when construction would happen.

“From what I understand, GDOT does not intend or want to acquire more property in Ravinia,” said Kathy Zickert, an attorney for the developers.

“It wants its express lanes to go over what they already own … the question is whether [Dunwoody’s] westside connector can attach to what GDOT’s going to do with their elevated lanes.”

Council members also had questions about connectivity within the property, such as where there would be sidewalks and how hotel guests would travel from the front driveway to the parking garage.

The rezoning case will come before the council in the coming weeks for a second reading before a final decision is made.

Northside Hospital has been recognized by the American Heart Association for its treatment of heart-related conditions.

Northside Hospital recognized for cardiovascular treatment

By ADAM DARBY adam@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — Northside Hospital has been recognized by the American Heart Association for their enhanced cardiovascular, heart, and stroke treatment.

Each of the three locations in Atlanta, Canton and Cumming have received individual awards from the association’s Get With The Guidelines and Mission: Lifeline programs focused on enhancing quality measurements and standards to ensure the most appropriate treatment.

The criteria for recognition is based on national research and scientific evidence related to quality improvement for patient success.

“The Northside Heart and Vascular Institute cardiology program has teams dedicated to maintaining high quality outcomes for our patients,” said Patricia Tyson, director of Northside’s Heart and Vascular Institute. “This includes everything from immediate care for patients having heart attacks to ensuring heart failure patients have the most up-to-date medical care here at the hospital as well as after discharge.”

Since 2001, Get With The Guidelines has impacted more than 6 million patients by providing hospitals with the latest in quality improvement guidelines.

The Mission: Lifeline program assists hospitals and emergency medical services in the development of standards and procedures for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction patients. Mobilized teams then implement the approved clinical treatment guidelines.

Every Northside location received awards for the advanced treatment of patients suffering from cardiac arrest, heart failure and strokes in the hospital.

Every Northside location received awards for the advanced treatment of patients suffering from cardiac arrest, heart failure and strokes in the hospital.

Northside Hospital Forsyth was awarded the American Heart Association Gold Quality Achievement Award for care of patients experiencing heart attacks as well as the Gold Plus with Target Honor Roll Achievement Award for the treatment of patients with heart failure. All three hospitals were honored with the Target: StrokeSM Honor Roll Elite Plus award for quality measurements in reducing the time between the patient’s initial arrival and treatment.

“All departments work together to maintain standards of excellence and educate staff on best practices for the cardiac population,” Tyson said. “We provide excellent cardiovascular care to our patients, and I am very proud of the recognitions the teams have received.

As a Forsyth County resident myself, it’s a comfort to know we have great care right here in our community.”

OPINION

4 | September 5, 2019 | Dunwoody Crier | TheCrier.net

Meet the press It’s no secret that the press has increasingly come under attack in recent years.

And while I believe too often these attacks cross a line — accusations of villainy, threats of violence, Carson Cook actual violence — I Reporter carson@appenmediagroup.com also believe much of the criticism is valid.

Reporters have too often not held themselves to the standards of transparency they purport to advance. Many media outlets and personalities have blurred the line between objective reporting and subjective punditry. Too often important stories are overshadowed by spectacle done for entertainment’s, not education’s, sake. And in some cases, outright fabrications are presented as fact.

It’s unfortunate — I could even say

tragic — that so many people get fed up and dismiss “The Media” wholesale. But it is understandable.

With that in mind, I’d like to introduce myself to the Dunwoody community. Who am I? Why do I think I’m qualified to be the editor of your community paper? And how can you help hold me to the standards of accuracy, accountability and transparency I hold dear.

I was born in Nashville and grew up in the suburb of Franklin. I have two younger sisters and a stereotypical oldest sibling personality: driven, perfectionist, bossy. I went to public school for K-12th, and then on to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where I majored in communication and minored in international studies.

I didn’t realize I wanted to be a journalist until the end of my freshman year.

One of my professors recommended that I work for the student paper, and that summer I interned with Home Page Media Group, the Appen Media Group of the south Nashville suburbs.

I remember being surprised I hadn’t considered reporting as a career path before then. It seemed to combine all

Give me story ideas.

Let me know what issues are important to you. Ask me your questions.

I look forward to hearing them. of my strengths and interests: writing, reading, researching, people, politics.

Back at school, I focused my schedule on journalism courses and wrote for the student paper, which led to another internship with the Chattanooga Times Free Press. While I covered news for The University Echo, the TFP had be do community stories. Appen lets me do both, which I love.

After I graduated — summa cum laude, if I may toot my own horn — I was freelancing with the TFP and looking for a full-time job, which is how I ended up moving to Atlanta. In college, I had spent a summer working for Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. and studying abroad in Brussels, Belgium, so my parents were glad I ended up

only five hours away.

I started as a reporter focused on Johns Creek, and I must have done a good job, because a year later I was promoted to editor.

This spring, Appen bought the Dunwoody Crier and stopped it from going out of print. This summer, I moved into an apartment near Perimeter Mall. This August, our managing editor asked me how I’d feel about covering council meetings closer to home.

That’s how I became the editor of the Crier. I hope, by me recounting my life’s story, that when the paper lands in your driveway, or you pull it up online, you won’t think of the news as coming from “The Media,” but from a person with a name and a face. Someone who lives in the community and is working hard to keep its residents informed.

And when I make a mistake — because no matter how hard working or perfectionistic, I am only human and will make mistakes — I hope you let me know, so I can fix them.

Don’t feel like you need to wait until I make a mistake though, reach out to me anytime at carson@appenmediagroup. com. Give me story ideas. Let me know what issues are important to you. Ask me your questions. I look forward to hearing them.

The Investment Coach

OPINION

What are the odds?

Financial life planning starts with an idea, a potential strategy that will improve your personal and financial wellbeing.

What are the odds that your idea will Lewis J. Walker, CFP be successful?

Pierre Simon Laplace, renowned 19th century French mathematical physicist and astronomer, instructed, “Probability theory is nothing but common sense reduced to calculation.”

How might that impact your thinking about life choices?

Reading a well-worn magazine in a doctor’s office, an article, “Unsuccess Rate,” in “Men’s Journal,” November 2018, sparked a thought. As we make big decisions in life, marriage and career choices, for example, what are the odds of success?

Take marriage, a huge life investment emotionally and financially. According to the article, 17 percent of couples are divorced by their 5th anniversary, and by year 10, another 23 percent part company.

Is there good news? Per the California law firm Wilkenson & Finkbeiner, “Recent studies have shown that millenials are waiting longer to get married and are staying married longer.” This trend is driving a slight decline in marriage and divorce rates in America.

Nevertheless, W & F note that about 41 percent of first marriages, 60 percent of second marriages, and 73 percent of third marriages end in divorce or separation. Aside from the emotional toll, there’s a potential negative impact on children, along with financial setbacks and struggles. Marital planning outside of emotion and passion may seem unromantic and a potential deal killer, but given the odds of failure, is there a place for a pre-nuptial agreement?

Prenups often are associated with serial marriages among Hollywood luminaries. Prenups generally cover the division and distribution of physical and financial assets, spousal support after divorce, attribution of income earned during marriage, etc. They may address student debt (a growing concern), incapacity, estate planning and children from a prior marriage. For older couples with significant assets who remarry, how do you deal with inheritances to each person’s family and heirs? When unmarried couples buy a house together, what happens when they split?

According to entreprenur.com, among the professions with the highest divorce rates are gaming managers, gaming service workers, bartenders, flight attendants.

What happens in Vegas doesn’t always take root in Vegas, apparently. For occupations with relatively low divorce rates go for actuaries, physical scientists, clergy, chemical engineers and optometrists.

If the probability of financial success is a factor, JobMonkey.com notes the jobs more likely to make you a millionaire are doctor, investment banker, real estate agent, engineer, day trader, air traffic controller, athlete, insurance agent, entrepreneur, actor/actress.

Shoot for multi-millionaire status given the realities of taxation and inflation. To reach lofty brackets advises JobMonkey, “You’re going to need a combination of a job with high earning potential, a solid work ethic and smart financial deci-

sions. Do you have what it takes?”

Beware of generalities. Being an entrepreneur and your own boss appeals, but plan carefully and have resources.

Per “Men’s Journal,” 50 percent of small businesses fail in the first four years.

Even the pros have challenges. Of venture capital backed startups, 95 percent fail to return on investment. In the VC world, it takes periodic huge winners to cover all of the losers, the same reality facing dice throwers in casinos. Mark Twain opined, “There are two times in a man’s life when he should not speculate; when he can’t afford it, and when he can.” (Or a woman, for that matter).

When it comes to big success in athletics, know the odds. Fewer than 2 percent of NCAA college student-athletes go on to be professional athletes. NCAA senior players drafted by an NFL team, one in 50, or 2 percent. High school senior players drafted by an NFL team, about nine in 10,000, or 0.09 percent. (ncaa.org).

Does this mean you shouldn’t chase a dream? You hear about “an overnight success,” only to find out he or she has been working at it for 20 or 30 years or more.

Wunderkinds exist, and early success can be destructive as well as base building. Success generally comes with good planning, realistic expectations, hard work, time, coaching and advice, patience, and the willingness to learn from inevitable mistakes.

Character counts in partners, in marriage and business. Fifty percent of marriages don’t end in divorce. That’s a start!

This 1945 overhead view of Lawson General Hospital shows not only the hospital, but the runways of Naval Air Station Atlanta and the hospital's baseball field. Both NASA and Lawson had employee baseball teams that played each other and other teams around Atlanta. The baseball games were often written up in The Atlanta Constitution.

BY

Tennessee Williams DIRECTED BY James Donadio

Some first-hand accounts of Lawson General Hospital Last week’s Past Tense shared the history of Lawson General Hospital, the World War II hospital in Chamblee. Clint Daniel and Carlton Renfroe, who grew up nearby, shared with me what they VALERIE remember about BIGGERSTAFF Lawson.

Carlton Renfroe’s family moved from downtown Atlanta to Dunwoody in 1941. His father was hired as a plumber at Lawson General Hospital. Renfroe remembers that during World War II, it was difficult to find and buy candy, but his dad was able to buy some at the PX at Lawson and bring it home to his children.

Renfroe would sometimes see Lawson General Hospital patients arriving at the Chamblee train station. They would be brought by train to Atlanta from Savannah, and then on to Chamblee. Ambulances would arrive at the train station to transport soldiers to Lawson.

Clint Daniel grew up in Chamblee and remembers the Lawson buildings after the war ended. There were connecting corridors between the buildings of Lawson. Daniel recalls that there were above-ground walkways that were almost like tunnels. The purpose was to move patients into the concrete and brick structures in the event of an at-

tack. Renfroe also remembers these connecting enclosures.

When Lawson closed, Renfroe said some of the buildings were purchased and moved to other locations. Daniel roamed around the abandoned buildings as a child. Sometime in the late 1950s, his dad’s construction company, Daniel and Daniel, handled the demolition of Lawson General Hospital. Daniel and Daniel’s offices were located at W. Hospital Avenue and Carroll Avenue (today’s Chamblee Tucker Road).

Both Daniel and Renfroe remember a large gym and Olympic-sized swimming pool that were part of Lawson and located at Hood Avenue. Carlton Renfroe remembers riding his bicycle over to swim in the pool. I asked him if adults would run him off, but he said they never did.

Daniel remembers the Lawson baseball field and played there as a child.

In addition to a baseball team, Lawson had a basketball team that played other community and college teams.

In February of 1944, they played the Georgia Bulldogs. The Atlanta Constitution wrote about the game, describing it as an upset, with Georgia winning 40-36.

As I mentioned last week, there was an MP standing guard out front of the military hospital. According to Daniel, Chamblee’s long-time mayor Woodie Malone served as an MP at Lawson General Hospital.

The INK PENN

OPINION

Vacations are the perfect ‘Recess for Adults’ An article about this phenomenon caught my attention, and yes, it made me laugh. Adults are paying to participate in Adult Recess. Atlanta wasn’t mentioned in the article, but the trend surfaced here KATHY as part of the Home MANOS PENN Depot Backyard on the Georgia World Congress Center Authority’s downtown Atlanta campus. Summer events included health and wellness courses, Adult Recess, The Happiest Hour, Super Saturday, and Sunday Funday.

The site didn’t describe the activities, but kickball, hopscotch and tetherball were included in other cities. I imagine three-legged races and tug-of-war can be found too. The possibilities are endless, as are I would think, the injuries.

Perhaps because I was never particularly athletic as a child, I don’t have a yearning to play any of these games.

The indoor counterparts across the nation hold more appeal for me. Some offer Tinkertoys, Lincoln Logs, and Playdoh. I certainly didn’t excel at any of those activities, but I enjoyed them. I much preferred board games as a kid.

So if Monopoly, Operation and Clue were on offer, I might have to sign up. That preference probably explains my adult enjoyment of Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble and Words with Friends.

One article suggests that the need for adult recess arises from the fact that fewer 20-somethings are having kids.

The writer thinks people who have children get to play these games with their families and don’t require a scheduled paid event. Funny, I never had kids, but I don’t remember ever having a craving for recess — beyond taking vacations.

The article triggered a fond memory for me, that of a bicycling vacation many years ago. My friend Beverly and I took several trips with Vermont Bicycle Tours, and on one trip, there were only nine of us in contrast to the typical 15 or so, and there were no couples. The size and makeup of the group somehow changed the whole dynamic.

We likened the experience to summer camp. One day, we stopped at a park and played on the swings and the slides.

On another, we ate our picnic lunch in a field and built a human pyramid. I can’t recall doing that before or since. I can still see and hear one group member as he broke into song coasting down a hill.

The song? “The Hills are Alive” from “The Sound of Music.”

When I think back to that trip, I remember the one person who seemed stressed and cranky was the 15-year-old who accompanied his entrepreneur dad.

The rest of us, adult professionals, were happy as larks.

Perhaps this teenager didn’t want to be on a trip with his dad, but I suspect his behavior wasn’t as much due to that circumstance as it was part of a pattern. Who knows what triggered it, but one day he had a temper tantrum, lifted his bicycle over his head, threw it on the ground, and walked away.

The odd behavior that his father made light of was the boy’s habit of unraveling his socks. He’d sit at dinner, with one hand beneath the table, and he’d slowly unravel his shin-high athletic socks. You’re probably thinking, as I did, that his behavior had to be indicative of some deeper issue. Who knows? I do know they packed enough socks that he could throw them away daily.

I see him as a prime candidate for adult recess. Me? I’ll continue enjoying recess in weeklong chunks called vacations. Right now, I’m dreaming of another biking vacation or maybe just a few hours on the Greenway. What does recess look like for you?

St. Martin’s Student Council donates thousands to charity BROOKHAVEN, Ga. — St. Martin’s Episcopal School’s Student Council has raised $23,500 for local charities over the past four years.

Comprised of elected representatives from 5th to 8th grades, the Student Council raises thousands of dollars each year in two unassuming ways: selling snacks and Middle School Spirit Week.

The snack cart brings in 80 percent of the council’s annual profit. It is a popular attraction at break time in the middle school and features sweet and savory treats sold for 50 cents each. Council members donate their break time to manage the cart. The spring fundraiser, Spirit Week, raises the rest of the council’s annual profit. It invites middle school students to swap $5 for a fun, themefilled week of non-uniform days.

SMES’ Student Council has a long-established culture of giving. For more than 12 years it has led fundraising efforts in support of local philanthropies serving Atlanta’s underprivileged communities.

Last year, the Student Council distributed $5,500 among five organizations: The Good Samaritan Health Center, the Brookhaven Rotary Club Foundation, Episcopal Relief and Development, the Suthers Center for Christian Outreach

Thinking of selling or downsizing?

Are you thinking of selling your current home and “downsizing” or moving to a senior-supported environment? You may be considering leaving the family home to be free of the related maintenance and expense.

DAN GRIFFIN Or, you are ready to travel and want to have a home base that requires no exterior maintenance.

Many seniors would prefer to continue living in their own home and “aging in place”. Sometimes, circumstances work against those preferences: • Home maintenance becomes a burden • A major life event forces a move • An aging parent wants to live closer to adult children and grandchildren • Financial concerns make it more dif-

ficult to stay in the family home • Support services may be needed or a different floorplan (no stairs) not currently available Whatever the reason, planning ahead and considering the options available contribute toward your peace of mind. As a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), I can provide you with resources to make a successful move as you sell your home and then relocate. To get started, request a free copy of Moving On, a printed booklet for seniors and their families.

How much is my metro Atlanta home worth?

Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty If you are a firsttime home seller in MetRawlings ro Atlanta, one of the first and most daunting questions you are likely to ask is “how much is my Atlanta home worth?” Naturally, you want to get the best possible price, but you also want to price competitively. More importantly, you want your home’s appraisal value to reflect your selling price; thus, ensuring your buyer’s financing

will go through smoothly. How do you list your home correctly, especially if you’ve never listed property before?

There are a number of factors that contribute to the value of any Atlanta home. Your real estate agent can give you a more detailed estimate, but for now let’s look at a few of these factors.

Comparable Home Sales One of the biggest indicators of your home’s worth will be how much other comparable properties are selling for in your neighborhood. The market itself drives the price more than anything else.

If several three-bedroom homes in your neighborhood have sold for $300,000 over the past few months, chances are your three-bedroom home, in similar condition, will appraise in that ballpark.

Recent Updates and Upgrades If you’ve recently made improvements to your home – for example, if you’ve renovated the kitchen and bathrooms, installed hardwood flooring or added a bedroom – these desirable upgrades tend

2019 Kitchen trends which will endure

By JOHN HOGAN Owner, Remodeling Expo Center As owner of Remodeling Expo Center in Roswell, I’m on the forefront of Kitchen Trends in North Atlanta. I find it interesting to see what national trends resonate with Atlanta homeowners and which one don’t. In all my years of doing this, I’ve learned that there’s one room in the house where ideas tend to stick around a bit longer — and that’s the kitchen. Good thing, considering ripping out cabinetry/ appliances/fixtures on a whim, every time a new trend pops up, is neither budget-savvy nor sustainable, in any way.

Banquette seating If there was any trend in 2018 that takes the crown as “Pinterest Queen,” it’s the banquette (whether built-in or freestanding). You can’t scroll too far without seeing a shot of a breakfast room or eat-in kitchen. Formal dining rooms have been a hard sell for a while now, as how we live in our homes seems to get more and more casual, and the banquette is a direct response to that.

Family-friendly, approachable, and, frankly, just a whole lot of fun designwise, banquette seating is holding firm.

Colored cabinetry White and Grey kitchens are still dominant and instead of the trend dissipating, the variations of shade are just getting larger. This trend is going to stay with us for a while. The reason is because its classic, clean and doesn’t stand out; it blends into the background. And yes, blues and greens are becoming more popular but I’m not quite sure they will stick around as long.

Fixture Finishes Polished Nickel or Champagne Bronze is a national trend that’s still trying to emerge but will probably peter out before it gets too far. But don’t forget about matte black. It’s coming on strong and it looks great. With that said, Remodeling Expo Center installs 100’s of projects each year and satin nickel and chrome are the dominant finishes.

There is no dispute that chrome fixtures against a marble-ized quartz counter background it a timeless look…

Two-toned cabinetry Okay, this is not a new concept by any means, but it does seem to have come back out of the woodwork aggressively in recent years. I do think it’s a sign of our collective breakup with purely white kitchens. Some fresh takes include doing an all-wood island

with surrounding white cabinets, white uppers with colored (or wood) bottom cabinetry, or even a statement color or dramatic black on an island with natural wood everywhere else.

Focal Point Hoods Whether stainless, sculptural, or uniquely clad, the vent hood seems to be the new frontier of kitchen design and that train is full speed ahead.

Once a staple of a very modern kitchen, I’ve seen more and more transitional and traditional spaces embracing the “statement” hood in a way that feels fresh and stylish. Stainless and shaker wood hoods are dominating the Atlanta scene but Remodeling Expo Center also installs unique and fresh looks, such as copper hoods, here and there.

Open shelving Look, we’ve heard all the arguments against open shelving these past few years — dust! disorder! — but let me tell you right now. With confidence, there is no shaking this trend. Open shelving is the not-so-new darling, European inspired, of kitchen design and with the right surround décor, can look fabulous.

Dramatic backsplashes Subway tiles are great for so many reasons (like budget, how easy they are to install, and their timelessness), but they aren’t for everyone. Sometimes you just want something a little different, with some more personality. Enter: the “drama” backsplash. As cement tiles became all the rage in about 2015/2016, a bold use of colored and patterned tile trickled into not just kitchen floors, but also backsplashes.

To learn more about trends, contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 9103969 or stop in at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075. www.RemodelingExpo.com

Location of the Home Home prices can vary widely from neighborhood to neighborhood – for example, a home in Alpharetta or Milton will price differently than a home in Brookhaven or Midtown. Additionally, factors like proximity to popular schools, the distance from the city and access to amenities and local attractions may also play a role in determining your home’s value.

Age and Condition of the Home Finally, your home’s value will be

affected by its age and condition. Newer homes tend to appraise for more than older ones, simply because there are fewer maintenance costs to consider.

Historic homes can sell for more, if proper updates have been made. Any home in fair to poor condition may sell for less because the new owners will have to make repairs.

The real estate market in Atlanta is a dynamic one, with comparable home values sometimes changing monthto-month. The best way to know how much your Atlanta home is worth is to consult with a local real estate professional who can access the latest market data to help you price your home correctly.

Dunwoody Home Tour set for Oct. 2 Duwnoody, Ga. — The Dunwoody Woman’s Club has scheduled the 47th annual Dunwoody Home Tour for Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m.

Participants will be able to tour an array of special homes, each with unique appeal.

Home 1 is a white house with a broad slate front porch, softly lit by gas lanterns. Rebuilt from the ground up a year ago, this 8,500-square-foot residence emanates a tranquil environment of soft dove grays and whites throughout.

Ebony toned floors anchor the home’s open design on the main and upper levels. The dining room off the entry sparkles with backlit glass shelving, giving prominence to family crystal.

Beyond, a spacious family room features coffered ceilings above a comfy media area with fireplace, a dining nook, and an enclosed deck with “disappearing” Nano doors towering above trees for dining and entertaining.

In the midst of all this, a room-sized quartzite island radiates glamour and is surrounded by Lucite chairs. Serious chefs will also appreciate the Wolf stove, inset with a spigot above to permit filling large pots. A back hall lined with modern functional lockers leads to a garage and walk-in pantry for food prep. A second, detached garage is at the rear of the home.

The master bedroom on the main level continues the soft palette of pleasing whites and grays. Here, respite from the day’s work can be achieved in an intimate seating area. Or perhaps worries can be washed away in the step-in tub in the adjoining bath and walk-in closet area.

COMMUNITY Access to the upper and lower floors is gained by a winding staircase with metal hand railing and soaring judges paneling. Both design features are works of art in themselves and preclude the need for wall hangings or paintings.

Broad hallways upstairs connect additional bedrooms decorated in blues, stripes and plaids for the children who dwell here. A TV room leads to a steppedup playroom and features a unique chest crafted by the Mega Dens crew when the homeowners’ previous basement was featured on the DIY network.

The lower level opens into a conversation area, built-in bar, and separate rooms for ping pong, pool table, golf simulator, and exercise equipment, as well as a well-stocked costume room for those events requiring a touch of bling.

The flooring on this level imitates the upstairs but is high-end vinyl for easy maintenance. And a guest bedroom and bath at this level afford privacy for visitors. While this home may be transitioning from traditional to modern, there is no doubt it is a home built for comfort and family.

This year’s Dunwoody Home tour will also include two raffles: one for a shopping spree at Lauderhills Fine Jewelry and another for a custom crafted artistic bowl by local artisan Dr. David Dalrymple.

Raffle tickets will be available to tour guests on the day of the tour and can be purchased with cash, check or credit card.

Home Tour tickets are available now.

Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 on tour day and can be purchased on-line at: https://www.dunwoodywomansclub. com/home-tour.

Tickets can also be purchased from any member of the Dunwoody Woman’s Club and at the following locations: Blooms of Dunwoody, Camelot Jewelers, Consigning Women, Face Haven, Lauderhills Fine Jewelry, Southern Comfort Consignments (Dunwoody), and Under the Pecan Tree.

OPINION

Who are we? What time is it?

I take my reporter’s notebook to church because our minister, Ollie, almost always has topics in his sermon that I want to remember. So I take notes.

Ollie’s sermons Ray appen frequently address Publisher current news topics, ray@appenmediagroup.com such as most recently the mass killings in El Paso and Dayton. He will talk about the event because he knows that his congregation needs to talk about it or, at least, hear it discussed. He offers solace always, and his pain is palatable as he stands bravely up in the pulpit yet again trying to explain what cannot be explained and comfort those who cannot be comforted. And he always returns to Scripture and reminds us that no matter how bad things seem, that there is shelter and comfort to be found - in each other if we seek it, and in our faith.

It goes without saying that there is always pain involved with these events, and that pain is both an individual pain as well asSJA a collective one. Those who 1 crier ad 10.25x5 final HR.pdf were directly involved in the tragedies

— the families , the co-workers, law enforcement and EMTs who respond, the people in the store, or those at the bar at the time all experience the unimaginable and surely are scarred for life by the experience if they are the lucky ones who survive. Those who weren’t directly involved suffer similar trauma, even if it is less immediate, less personal. It is, nonetheless, there.

It becomes part of our story — our narrative that is the new filter through which we see the world.

Today, a car backfires on the street, and people run for cover. A nutcase wears a mask and camo into a Walmart, and a panic ensues. Hoodies invoke cold sweats and fear. Symbols that formerly represent positive aspects of our individual and collective culture take on new threatening meanings. Sunday services now include a police presence. People enter buildings and focus on exits and potential escape routes — just in case.

Just in case. When did we start having to be so concerned with “just in case?

Was it yesterday, last week, last year?

And what has changed that brought this on? Isn’t that at least part of what we find so frustrating, so mystifying?

My 2-year 8/28/19 10:13 AMold grandson’s favorite word right now is “why.” Imagine how

much he might use his favorite word after he begins to see and process more of what is going on around him that he cannot and does not process now, at 2 years of age. Can’t I just stop time for a while — for him — to allow this toxic “time” to heal, to return to the mean? “Everything cycles,” I keep telling myself. Have faith. We’ll get through this. I know we will; we always do, but It doesn’t feel like it right now. But I do have hope. I always do.

“Hope” is so much of what Ollie shares with his congregation. We must have hope.

“Who are we? What time is it?” Ollie asks from the pulpit.

To some his message is immediately crystal clear. To others, not so much.

“Context” is what he means when he says “What time is it?” This trauma we are all experiencing is not occurring in a vacuum. It is a response to a stimulus.

In the long run — from an evolutionary point of view — ultimately, all life in some way is a function of an effort to protect and propagate the species. I’m not sure how that applies to these mass shootings, but I know it is there somewhere.

Ollie tells us to be aware, to look around. See what is missing. See what is broken. See what is incomplete, just

dangling in air. Hear pleas seeking help, cries of anger, people looking for companionship and compassion. Recognize what it looks like when someone who needs a friend, has none. Be aware, act, and create context for yourself.

“Who are we?” speaks to a willingness and the mettle to act and not run from life swirling around us, no matter how strong the wind. Heal the wounded. Console those who do not see hope. Take action. If you see what time it is and do not act to push back at life, no matter how infinitesimal one single person’s effort may seem to be, then we really are in harm’s way.

Hope, and lives of intention sustain us. Take bold steps. “Do something,” Ollie said from his pulpit — in so any words. But, he said, we must be the ones who must “do something.” We should not rely on someone else to act. That’s not who we are. Every day, every night, we have to push back and make sure our hope is a beacon that is seen by others who need to see hope and perhaps do not. Our context becomes their context. Our story and narrative become theirs. If we don’t act though, the narrative belongs to the other side, and our world continues to fall and fail.

Conversely, together, we step toward the center and a better tomorrow.

St. Pius X volleyball coach eclipses 1,000 career wins mark

By Luke Winstel For The Crier DUNWOODY, Ga. — St. Pius X Catholic High School volleyball head coach John Frederick earned his 1,000th career win Aug. 24.

“I have had a lot of great athletes over the years,” he said. “Getting 1,000 wins is a credit to all of them. This has made me reflect on some of those people who I have had the privilege to coach in the past and the adults they have grown into. I have been blessed to have two fabulous places to work in my career and it is rare when someone works for 36 years and has only two jobs.”

Frederick praised the culture at St. Pius and mentioned that most of his favorite memories at the school do not revolve around wins, but people instead.

“I remember when Clemson signee

Chloe Anderton broke her leg in the state tournament against Marist,” he recalled. “While that was one of the most horrific moments of my career, what I remember most is the way the team responded to that tragedy, the way that they rallied.”

After winning the Class AAAA state title last season, the St. Pius team has enjoyed a great deal of success in 2019. The team is off to an 18-2 start and is ranked the #34 team in the nation by MaxPreps.

“This year’s team is in many ways a mirror image of last year’s,” Frederick said. “We are still young as our core freshman group from last year returns.

We are transitioning from a 6-2 to a mostly 5-1 this season, and Ava Pitchford has made a smooth transition to setter.”

The team returns to action this week against Buford High School.

Holy Innocents’ has high hopes for 2019 cross country season

By Dunn Neugebauer For The Crier DUNWOODY, Ga. — Both the girls and the boys cross country teams won the region titles last year and placed topfour in the state. Looking at this year’s numbers and the talent on the 100-plus roster, it doesn’t appear the 2019 bunch is going to take their feet off the gas any time soon.

“I am really looking forward to the start of the season to see how good our teams are going to be,” coach Stephen Jayaraj said. “They have the potential to be one of the best squads in HIES history. We will focus each day on this year’s theme: ‘Enjoy the journey; embrace the suffering.’”

While Holy Innocents’ will miss plenty after last year’s graduation, the Bears only lost one girl and one boy among the top seven, where the 2018 girls placed fourth in state and the boys third.

Six key seniors return to the girls roster – Erin Hill, Caroline Lyles, Jessica McNair, Maddie Lowe, Mackenzie Weir and Ella Pappas. Another upperclassman new to the team, Emily Kallis, could also make a run into the top seven.

A pair of juniors, Hayden Puett and Maddie Poch, return with a great shot at again making the starting slate. Classmate Melina Sharp also had a solid sophomore season and is expected to run well.

Freshmen Reese Martin and Reese Neumann were among the best in the state in middle school last year and have a great opportunity at making top-five

when the season opens later this month.

Two more of many to mention, sophomores Abigail Jablon and Caroline Williams both spent some time on the varsity roster last season and should contend for a spot once again.

Over on the boys team, senior Aidan Zeissner is a three-year veteran who is coming off a great summer. He is expected to fill one of the top-seven slots.

Seniors Liam Hill, Matthew Keagle, Matthew Raeside and William Sirotkin are four more solid contenders.

Junior William Welden was the top runner most of last season and is also coming off a strong summer on the track. Classmates Griffin Collier and James Watson are two more who have looked good after a week of practice.

Sophomore Brandon Sertl finished last year as one of the top runners on the squad. Holy Innocents’ also appears to be blessed with a talented group of freshmen. Among them are Joe Sapone, Griffin Bittel, Parker Miles, Logan Miller and Ryan Kelley.

The Running Bears opened Aug. 24th at home with a time trial and will compete again Sept. 7 at the Rock Invitational near McDonough.

The region should be loaded again as expected, with defending champs Atlanta International, Paideia and the always powerful Landmark Christian again to be among the top for the girls.

The boys will also have more than plenty of competition, with several teams expected to give Holy Innocents’ a run when the Bears look to defend their area championships in late October.

Pets of the Week

Lady Grey and Java DUNWOODY, Ga. — Lady Grey and Java are a pair of kittens from a litter of five that were rescued from under the Community Music Center on Chamblee Dunwoody Road in Dunwoody Village.

They started out as the most cautious of the litter but, after a week at their foster home playing and relaxing with their siblings, they have relaxed and become friendly with their human hosts.

Lady Grey is the lady of the litter; she’ll sit politely and wait her turn while her siblings storm the food bowl.

Java is a sleek, all-black beauty who is sometimes suspicious but is also play-

ful and purrs loudly when stroked.

They are about 8 weeks old, litter box trained, eating solid kitten food and drinking goats’ milk. They are expected to be vaccinated and dewormed next week.
