Mayor, council candidates present platforms

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody voters will pick a new mayor this Nov. 5, with three City Council seats also up for election.

While Post 6 Councilman John Heneghan will run for reelection unopposed, Post 4 Councilman Terry Nall and Post 5 Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch will be competing for mayor, leaving open races for their seats.

To help inform voters, the Dunwoody Crier asked each of the candidates: 1. Why are you running for Mayor/City Council?

2. What experiences or skills would you bring to the city?

3. If elected, what would be your top priorities?

The answers below have been lightly edited for space.

Mayor Councilwoman Lynn Deutsch Q1. Dunwoody has established an out-

standing police department, completed many infrastructure projects and started building a park system, all while being fiscally responsible. As your mayor, my focus will be preserving our small-town feel while creating a vibrant place DEUTSCH to live, work and play.

Q2. Having served on City Council for eight years, including two as Mayor Pro Tem, I am uniquely qualified to serve as your next mayor based on my education, experience and willingness to listen and respond to your input. I have a Master’s of City Planning, served on the city’s first planning commission, am active in the Georgia Tech SMART City Institute and have focused my council-member training on important areas for our community including parks, design, community development and engagement, and more.

Q3. My priorities include reinvigorating commercial areas, increasing con-

Councilman Terry Nall Q1: Dunwoody and public service are my passion. I think I’ve made a positive contribution over the past two terms, and there are challenges ahead that will take strong leadership to address. I will continue NALL to advocate for a careful balance of fiscal responsibility and our quality of life, as I have for the last eight

years. I also look forward to hearing the voice of our community through town hall meetings and other forums.

Q2: As an active CPA and a senior financial services executive, I’ve earned a reputation as someone who does the homework on each item to fully understand the issue and develop a plan for a solution.

I am known for responding to people throughout the community, protection of homeowner values, and strong passion to build what I call “A Better Dunwoody.”

Q3: Police and EMS ambulance services to maintain our public safety edge; Dunwoody schools and improved relationships with the school district and Board of Education; Dunwoody Village transformation with a focus on vibrant placemaking; economic development to attract and retain new businesses; roads, trails, sidewalks and parks for connectivity and quality of life; implementing the Dunwoody Arts Master Plan and zoning to achieve a balanced mix of growth and development.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A woman was swindled out of $260 in cash Sept. 11 by a man posing as a store employee at the Z Gallerie Store in Perimeter Mall on Ashford Dunwoody Road.

The woman told police that when she arrived at the store, she saw a man speaking with a female store employee. As the woman browsed the aisles, the man approached her and began removing items off the shelves, suggesting she use his

Man threatens employee after she denies refund DUNWOODY, Ga. — A female employee reported to police Sept. 15 that she had been threatened by a disgruntled male customer at Walmart on Ashford Dunwoody Road.

While working at the customer service desk, a man approached her to return an item. He could not provide a receipt or the credit card with which he used for the purchase. Because the item was valued at more than $50, she could not refund the item based on store policy. As she moved the item back toward the customer and asked for the next person in line to come forward, the man became upset and told her that he would “wait for her outside.”

Feeling threatened, she told the store manager and the authorities were notified. The man was escorted by police out of the store.

The customer told police that the employee aggressively shoved the item into his stomach before refusing to return the item. He also stated that she refused to help him because of his race. He then stated that he said he would “wait for her” and asked for the manager himself. The employee told police that she wanted to file an official report in case he returned while she was working.

The woman took some of the items toward the checkout counter, but the man suggested she give him the money before making the purchase at the counter. She handed him $260 in cash, and he left the store. The store manager confirmed that he had never seen the man in the store before. Surveillance cameras recorded the incident.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A woman arrived Sept. 11 at the Dunwoody Police Department to report an incident of entering auto while parked at her residence on Dunwoody Gables Drive. The vehicle owner said she had parked her vehicle outside the house the previous day and noticed items missing when she returned the following morning.

She told police that she locked the vehicle as she parked and found the driver door open when she returned. She did not notice any fraudulent charges to her credit cards that had been left inside the vehicle, but she said she would cancel them immediately. She brought her car to the department for evidence, but no fingerprints were recovered.

The man said he had placed the wallet on the counter and walked to the end of the counter to pick up some candy. When he returned, the wallet was gone.

The wallet contained $1,000 in cash.

The store provided police with security footage of the incident. The footage showed another man take the wallet, then leave the store.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A Johns Creek resident called police Sept. 14 after he realized the house he had been housesitting for his parents had been burglarized.

When the man checked in on the residence at Old Plank Square, he saw several items had been moved and the glass back patio door window had been shattered.

Missing items included $5,000 in cash, a handbag, credit card and check book.

This Charleston-style brick home, bursting with Southern charm, is one of the homes featured in the 47th annual Dunwoody Home Tour scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 2.

Dunwoody Home Tour to include Charleston-style brick home DUNWOODY, Ga. — If you love historic Charleston, you’ll fall in love with this stately, two-story brick home.

It’s one of the featured homes featured in the 47th annual Dunwoody Home Tour on Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Dunwoody Woman’s Club.

Built in 1983, but newly remodeled, the home bursts with Southern charm and hospitality. A sweeping lawn guides you to a tiered piazza where the front door on the lower level is framed by a lush shade garden.

Inside, silk wallpaper draws the eye upward to the second level, complementing cognac marble underfoot. A traditional greeting room on the left features a keyhole desk made by the owner’s father.

To the right of the entry is the formal dining room where stenciled seashells on wall panels evoke shoreline images. All but the chairs were handcrafted by the owner’s father.

Cooks everywhere will envy the kitchen. Ten-foot-high, silvered gray cabinetry features backlit, Seafoam Glass fronts.

Porcelain Italian floor tiles enhance the beauty of a quartzite island and countertops.

A coffee bar is cleverly hidden from view within the cabinetry, and a rolling barn door opens to a well-stocked pantry. While low-country boil simmers on the Wolf range, grandchildren may want to play at a pullout table, then take the fixings to the shiplap gabled sitting area where reclaimed timbers top the fireplace and dress the ceiling.

Or they might head to the back deck which features stamped cement flooring and overlooks the pool and fenced tennis court. Burbling water fountains and gardens may beckon you to sit awhile here, but you’ll want to circle back inside to take in the oak paneled great room and gentleman’s office.

Except for a guest bedroom on the main floor, additional bedrooms, an

exercise area and craft room are on the second floor. The trey ceiling in the master bedroom has embossed wallpaper painted to resemble a tin ceiling.

The view of the backyard from the dressing area is breathtaking. The master bath prompts a peek at the back wall of the walk-in shower. Art lovers will recognize Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss” recreated in tile.

The terrace level is a haven for media buffs, ping pong matches, card games, camaraderie and sipping fine wine.

A walk-in, vapor barrier wine cellar features saw-cut travertine flooring and softly lit wine racks.

Company can relax on suede sofas in the main area, have a brew at the granite-topped built-in bar or slip into the darkened media room to catch a favorite movie. The trey ceiling is authentic tin.

This is a home that reflects old-world Southern charm throughout, updated by modern convenience.

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 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 at 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.

Profits of the Home Tour and raffles are returned to the community through the charitable programs of the Dunwoody Woman’s Club, a non-profit organization.

COMMUNITY

Dunwoody cuts ribbon on refurbished cottage at Donaldson-Bannister Farm DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody officials and community leaders gathered Sept. 16 to celebrate the opening of the refurbished guest cottage at the historic Donaldson-Bannister Farm.

The three-room cottage, built around the 1930, will serve as office space for the Dunwoody Preservation Trust. Renovations were made possible by a grant from the city and private donations.

A city park, the Donaldson-Bannister Farm was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The 3-acre property includes a house, barn, cemetery, pasture land, gardens and several outbuildings, and is located at the corner of Chamblee Dunwoody and Vermack roads.

It was built in 1870 by W.J. and Millie Donaldson. The guest cottage was added around 1930 by then-owner Lois Pattillo.

“Millie Donaldson farmed the Dunwoody land after her husband died in 1900 until she died in 1931,” trust Executive Director Suzanne Huff said.

“At that time the property was sold as a summer home to Lois Pattillo, a wealthy Atlanta widow, who hired Atlanta architect Francis Palmer Smith to redesign the home and add several additional structures, including the guest cottage.

Pattillo later married a Dunwoody resident, Leland Bannister.”

An extensive renovation to the property’s main house, barn and grounds was completed in spring 2018, and the property was opened to the public as a special-use park and event facility.

Renovations to the guest cottage mark the completion of another phase of the park’s refurbishment. Two additional outbuildings — a commissary and shop — remain on the wish list.

The cottage will be used as offices for the Dunwoody Preservation Trust, which will create more event space in the main house where the office was previously housed. In addition to extensive foundation repair, the renovations included repair of the original fireplace and architectural details, keeping as much of the original structure and charm as possible.

The cottage has been used for a variety of purposes through the years, including the residence for a couple that took care of the home when the Bannisters were living in Atlanta.

For many years, they left the front room open for travelers who could access the room from a separate entrance.

Those staying overnight could leave change for payment on the mantle over the small fireplace.

The Investment Coach

OPINION

Politics, health care and your bank account Health care reform is a political hot potato. Gallup notes top issues for voters are healthcare, economy, immigration.

Politically crafted ideas are all over map. Most Lewis J. Walker, CFP the likely you will enter the 2020 voting booth still confused as to how a particular proposal will impact your bottom line as a breadwinner, parent, caregiver, employer, employee, retiree or investor.

Recall that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Obamacare) was supposed to meet healthcare challenges. While it solved some problems, the word “affordable” seems like cruel irony. So here we go again with budget-busting proposals for Medicare for All (M4A) and Medicare at age 50 buy-in. What questions should we ask?

Bernie Sanders recently published his Green New Deal manifesto, which should have anyone concerned with

our growing national debt seeing red.

Price tag, $16.3 trillion, and that doesn’t include his Medicare for All initiative.

(Putting Bernie’s stratospheric price tag in context, The Wall Street Journal, 8/26/19, noted that America’s total annual economic output is $21 trillion).

Money to fund M4A has to come from somewhere. Question 1 is, “where?”

On the surface M4A seems ideal. A single payer government plan to cover citizens and non-citizens alike with medical, dental, maternity care, long term care, etc.; no co-pays or deductibles.

Private insurance for anything covered by government (“taxpayers”) would be illegal. Taxes would rise but you wouldn’t be paying insurance premiums or other costs, says Sanders. Q.2 and 3: How high will taxes go and how will that be apportioned by tax bracket or other payment scheme? Retirees paid FICA taxes their entire working life to fund Medicare. Will there be a “tax-offset” benefit for those who paid in while a flood of newcomers get in for free?

What’s the potential impact on hospitals? For a recent knee replacement a major Atlanta area hospital charged $52,118. Medicare paid $8,821.24 on

the claim, noting the patient could be billed for a maximum of $1,381.31 outof-pocket. Assuming the patient had a supplemental insurance plan that paid the balance, the hospital received roughly 20 percent of the amount billed.

Major hospital systems are losing money, and worries about rural hospitals and care centers closing are growing.

Low reimbursement rates for Medicaid and Medicare patients are a problem.

Some revenue is made up for by charging uninsured persons and insurance companies more, the latter expense really borne by the policyholder and/ or those that pay ever rising premiums, including independent business owners and other employers. Can you imagine being uninsured and getting billed for over $52,000?

The NY Times, 7/21/19, noted, “Hospitals Stand to Lose Billions Under Medicare for All.” Q.4: Will your preferred hospital and trauma center be there when you or loved ones need care?

Q. 5: What is the potential impact on you as a patient? In countries where M4A type plans are in place, “wait times” remain a nettlesome problem. A 2018 Fraser Institute study in Canada reported a median wait time to see a specialist after a referral from a GP as almost 20 weeks, with another median delay of 11 weeks before treatment is received.

Talk to doctors. Many can’t wait to retire. Many say they would not urge their kids to go into medicine. Where will the doctors of tomorrow come from?

How would bureaucratic delays impact you or loved ones given increased pain and anguish during growing wait times, including increased likelihood of death or poor outcomes? Many doctors cur-

rently limit Medicare patients and even more will not accept Medicaid patients.

Will forcing doctors and other healthcare workers into a federalized system increase or decrease the supply of doctors and other talent? You know the answer to that question!

Q.6: With hospital systems and practitioners losing money due to low reimbursement rates, if you are a doctor, nurse, or other hospital worker, what’s the potential impact on your livelihood? What happens to workers both in healthcare directly as well as other professions involved in private healthcare related activities such as the insurance industry? How will dislocation impact companies, the real estate they occupy, the stocks you own directly or indirectly? Dislocation of any kind, potential or actual, worries Mr. Market with negative effect. You don’t want your 401(k) to get sick just before retirement, or after, for that matter.

On March 9, 2010, the Affordable Care Act was up for a vote. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously declared, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” This time around we had best ask more and better questions, well in advance!

PAST TENSE

OPINION

Dunwoody High School site was home to Martin family Ken Anderson, who has shared so much Dunwoody history with me through the years, told me the Martin family lived where Dunwoody High School is today. His recollection was from the 1940s and 1950s.

VALERIE I wanted to find out BIGGERSTAFF more about this family and their farm.

Census records show that Harvey Hill and Alma (Berta) Crawford Martin lived there along with their children

Floyd, Wyatt and Ruth as early as 1920.

The home was a one-story farmhouse with a central hallway. The Martin’s farm extended from what is now Mount Vernon Road down to Womack Road.

Harvey Hill Martin was born in 1877 in Milton County, the part of Milton that is now Fulton County and the Sandy Springs corridor, between Dunwoody Club Drive and the Chattahoochee River.

His father, Ambry Martin, owned 54 acres in Milton County during this time.

Berta and Harvey were married in Milton County in 1901.

Jane Anderson Autry and Carolyn Anderson Parker recall going to school

From The Story of Dunwoody, Elizabeth L. Davis and Ethel W. Spruill

This photo of Dunwoody’s 1940s baseball team includes grandsons of Harvey and Berta Martin, Herbert Martin and Dorris Martin. This adult league team played other communities, businesses and military bases and hospitals. Pictured from left standing are: Bonnie Swancey, Tony Palma, Billy Waller, Herbert Martin, Travis Eidson, W. Abernathy, Eugene Wilson, Rembert Sykes and Bud Crews.

Kneeling, from left, are: (No first name provided) Chandler, Billy Ivey, Cecil Power, Dorris Martin and Paul Manning. with the children of Floyd and Maggie Mae Martin; sons Herbert and Dorris, and daughter Ethel. The Anderson children’s father, Walter, Sr., was the pastor of Dunwoody Baptist Church at the time, so the Andersons often were invited for Sunday dinner at the Martin home. Mrs. Martin’s biscuits are still memorable to Jane Autry, while her sister Carolyn Anderson Parker remembers her delicious pies.

Carlton Renfroe, who still lives on Tilly Mill Road, also remembers the Martin family, their home and their barn. He recalls that the driveway entrance was along Vermack Road and the house was perched in the same spot as today’s high school. That part of the road was known by locals as Martin Road, according to Carolyn Parker.

The Martin grandson’s, Herbert and Dorris, both played on the Dunwoody baseball team in the 1940s. Dunwoody’s team played games against other community and business amateur teams.

The field was located along what is now

Dunwoody Village Parkway. Nearby Naval Air Station Atlanta and Lawson General Hospital also had teams.

As usual, the Martin family is tied to other early families of Dunwoody.

Maggie Mae Eidson, who married Floyd Martin was born to Marcellus Eidson and Margaret Elizabeth Warnock Eidson.

Maggie’s great uncle Zachariah Eidson donated the land for the first Dunwoody School, located where the Spruill Center for the Arts and Dunwoody Library are today. The Eidson home on Chamblee Dunwoody Road and the Warnock Cottage on Mount Vernon Road both still stand and are identified by Dunwoody Preservation Trust markers.

Berta Martin died in 1957, and Harvey Martin died in 1958. Both are buried at the historic New Hope cemetery, located along Chamblee Dunwoody Road behind the KinderCare Learning Center.

Thank you to Carlton Renfroe, Ken Anderson, Jane Autry and Carolyn Parker for sharing their memories of the Martin family and their farm.

The INK PENN

A banner year for the Friends of the Dunwoody Library

Did you know that many of the Friends of the Dunwoody Library volunteers have served the library for years? On Sept. 26, this group of volunteers will honor five truly dedicated individuals KATHY who have been active MANOS PENN volunteers for 25 years or more! They are Connie Downing, Susan Edmonson, Jane Hughes, Sunny Jeffries and Evert Oerding. A plaque in their honor will be installed just before the book sale opens to members at 1 p.m.

Additionally, a recently renovated room at the library has been named for Evert Oerding in recognition of his leadership and can-do attitude in inspiring and leading large new projects.

During his tenure with the FODL, Evert has served as treasurer, vice president, Book Sale chairman and Facilities chairman. He’s been instrumental in transporting used books, improving library landscaping, managing the FODL’s status as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and leading the organization’s ef-

forts in completely renovating the library interior and the library back office.

The expanded back office space offers new lighting, plumbing, flooring and furniture. The Friends initiated the project and provided initial funding for it, and DCPL secured a state grant for most of the cost.

Now that the dust from this lengthy renovation has settled, the Friends will fund carpet replacement and cleaning throughout the facility. Next up, FODL funds will go toward purchasing new upholstered furniture and renovating parts of the kitchen. Lighting upgrades

and the addition of security cameras are possibilities for future improvements.

As always, the Dunwoody Garden Club and the Dunwoody Parks Department partner on the design, installation and maintenance of the landscaping at the entrance to the library. Whether you’re a patron of the library or a visitor to the Book Sale or both, you’re sure to notice the difference.

The sale opens to members at 1 p.m. and to the public beginning at 4 p.m. and running to 8 p.m., Sept. 26. The sale is open to all comers again on Friday and Saturday Sept. 27 and 28 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and on Monday, Sept. 30 from 1-8

p.m. Monday is bag day when you can fill a grocery bag with books for only $6. I don’t often make it on the last day, but I did in May and found 10 books, so I may have to mark my calendar.

The big news for September’s sale is that the Friends will now accept credit cards for purchases of $10 or more.

They prefer cash and check to avoid credit processing fees, but credit cards are now welcome.

What can you find at the sale? Thousands of books, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, vinyl records and magazines. You’ll find all genres, from mysteries to cookbooks, from children’s books to biographies.

Where else can you pick up a paperback for $1 or a hardback for $2? Here’s hoping the FODL makes lots of money to continue their good work and that we all walk away with plenty of books.

Kathy is a Sandy Springs resident. Find her books, “Lord Banjo the Royal Pooch” and “The Ink Penn: Celebrating the Magic in the Everyday,” at the Enchanted Forest and on Amazon.

St. Pius X football blanks Decatur in weather-shortened game Cottage:

By Luke Winstel For The Crier The St. Pius X Catholic High School football squad took down Decatur 21-0 in a Sept. 13 game that was delayed and later shortened to only one half due to the weather.

The win was the team’s second of the season, bringing their overall record to 2-2.

“I thought our kids performed well,” Golden Lions’ head coach, Paul Standard said. “They had a great week of practice and were focused.

We got better this week. Our leadership stepped up and it showed Friday night.”

John McKimmy, Antonio Walker, Cameron Wingo, and Jadon Rogers were

The win was the team’s second of the season, bringing their overall record to 2-2. named players of the game.

St. Pius was to host Marist School Friday in the annual Fish Bowl game.

The Golden Lions have an 18-34-3 alltime record against their archrival and are 1-4 in the last five matchups with

the War Eagles.

Standard said he felt good going into action against Marist.

“We are relatively healthy, and our players are excited for the ‘Fish Bowl,’” he said. “Marist is an outstanding team with great skill players. Their lineman are big and they can move — they play so low. Their quarterback (Connor Cigelske) makes them go. He is a great runner, passer, and leader.”

The War Eagles, 3-0, are the secondranked team in the AAAA classification.

They defeated Westminster 14-0 Sept. 13 and outgained the Wildcats by 128 yards before their game was cut short due to lightning.

St. Pius entered Friday’s contest ranked #21 in AAAA.

Continued from Page 7 The property’s final occupants, David and Linda Chesnut, sold the property to DeKalb County in 2005.

It sat unused and uncared-for until Dunwoody became a city in 2008, and it became part of the city’s parks acquisition.

The extensive renovations have been coordinated via a partnership between the Dunwoody Preservation Trust and the City of Dunwoody’s Parks and Recreation department. Funding has been made possible through City of Dunwoody grants, private donations and proceeds from the DPT’s annual fundraiser, Lemonade Days.

The park is open daily for picnics, strolls and free play on the lawn.

Dunwoody woman sets weightlifting records

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — At 58 years old, Joan Holladay had never competed in a sporting event until she set a state record in a powerlifting competition, deadlifting 225 pounds.

Holladay has been a Dunwoody resident for 35 years and currently lives in the Kingsley subdivision.

In January 2014, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thanks to early detection, she is now five years cancerfree. Holladay saw her diagnosis as a wake-up call and set a mission to get fit and lose 100 pounds.

“This is not my future hope and dream,” she said. “I don’t want to be a grannie sitting in a rocking chair saying ‘Come give grannie a kiss.’ I want to be one of the ones chasing the kids around the driveway.”

After about six months and 30 pounds, her progress plateaued. Holladay decided to branch out from her home treadmill and began seeing a personal trainer.

She connected with Max Bohling, a personal trainer who grew up in Dunwoody. Holladay credits Bohling from taking her from a “couch potato” to a competitive powerlifter.

37th Annual

“The whole reason I started doing it was because my weight loss was going so incredibly slow I wanted something to distract myself from constantly thinking about the one-tenth of a pound,” Holladay said.

Since December 2016, Holladay has worked with Bohling, growing from 30 minutes twice a week to 45 minutes four times a week. She works with Bohling at The Training Box in Alpharetta and Roswell BarBell in Roswell.

“Max had a client, a young man, who was competing,” she said. “Max posted a video of the guy doing his competition, and I saw that and said ‘Max, do you think I could do that?’ He said, like any good person who is really into something ‘Oh, of course you can. I could coach you. You’d be great!’ and I thought, ‘Oh what have I done.’”

Bohling began heavy lifting in February of 2018 and competed in her first meet in January this year. There she set the first state record for women in her age group by lifting 225 pounds in the deadlift at the U.S. Powerlifting Association meet.

“I didn’t want to embarrass myself,” Holladay said. “That was my main thing.

I don’t want to get up in front of people and they think here’s this old lady com-

ing up and thinking she can do this.”

Encouraged by her success, in August Holladay participated in the larger Five Bar Showdown, setting a new record with the U.S.A. Powerlifting Federation that was part of the USAPL Federation at 243 pounds.

Holladay said she has never felt better. She has lost 75 pounds from her initial weight and experiences less lower back pain.

“I can work for six, seven hours out in the yard and not have problems, where before I’d be aching and forget it,” she said. “Max has a motto. You work hard in the gym so you don’t have to outside.”

She also said she is nowhere near done yet and has set a goal to set the state records for the other powerlifts — bench press and squat lift — and to participate in the national meet.

“I have grown children, and I feel so guilty for not raising them in a more nutrition-friendly, smart way that I’m hoping it’s not too late, that they can see the changes that I’ve made and that now their dad has made and they’ll take them into their own lives,” Holladay said.

Holladay also wants to inspire more women and seniors to try the sport of powerlifting.
