Council gives first nod to trimmed-down 2021 budget

By CATHY COBBS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody City Council gave early approval Oct. 12 to a proposed 2021 budget that calls for keeping the property tax rate steady, but draws deeply into reserves to maintain services.

The $24 million budget reflects a 4.2 percent reduction to various department spending.

Even with those reductions, the reserve fund city keeps on hand is projected to shrink from funding almost eight months of operation to four months.by the end of 2021. The draw-down in reserves is being attributed to anticipated drops in sales tax and hotel/motel tax collections, fewer fees from licenses and permits and fines and forfeitures.

in reserve in 2020 to a projected four month’s reserve by the end of 2021. The reductions in income can be attributed to the economic devastation caused by COVID-19, which has reduced several funding sources, including taxes, licenses and permits and fines and forfeitures.

“We will have no millage rate increase, but we hope that the economy turns around real soon,” said Dunwoody Finance Director Linda Nabers.

Mayor Lynn Deutsch said she was upset that several projects had to be put on hold in order to hold the millage rate steady, but expressed hope that the economy would improve enough in 2021 to make mid-year adjustments.

“This is not a budget with much fat, and I am hoping that the economy comes back soon,” she said.

The budget calls for spending cuts

of 12 percent in the Parks Department, 15 percent in Community Development, almost 9 percent from the Police Department, and 30 percent reduced from the Communications Department.

The entire panel complimented the city’s finance department for its work in presenting a comprehensive budget explanation, and particularly lauded the budget committee, which included Pam Tallmadge, Tom Lambert and Jim Riticher.

There will be one more public hearing at the council’s next meeting, scheduled for Oct. 26, after which the council will consider the budget for first reading.

The council also held a public hearing on a controversial proposal to take three properties located on Roberts Road and rezone them from R-100 to R-50 to allow for the construction of a 15-home

“farmhouse-themed” community.

Ty White, founder and CEO of Peachland Homes, presented the vision for the new homes, calling them ideal for “empty nesters.” The community, called “The Cottages,” would feature 1.5-story homes with most of the living space, including the master bedrooms, on the main floor.

White said plans include saving the Swancy Farmhouse, a historic property located on the proposed site. The architecture of the proposed homes would mirror the “farmhouse theme” of the Swancy Farmhouse.

However, several property owners from the Dunwoody Knoll subdivision, which abuts the proposed subdivision, said they have concerns about the pro-

Doraville man arrested for loitering in parking lot DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police on Oct. 9 arrested a Doraville man caught lounging in a suspected drug hangout along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.

According to an arrest report, 25-year-old Diego Molina was charged with loitering and disorderly conduct in connection with the incident.

A patrol officer spotted him and another man in the parking lot of the gas station around 2:15 a.m. The officer noted in his report there have been ongoing issues of overnight loitering, illegal drug activity, open container violations and littering in the parking lot.

Council: Continued from Page 1 posal, citing potential stormwater runoff, the density of the project and landscape buffers.

During a long conversation with White, council members urged the developer to continue to have discussions with Dunwoody Knoll residents until they are satisfied that the proposed subdivision will not harm their land or property values.

In other business Oct. 12, Dunwoody resident Robert Wilson called for the resignation of Dunwoody Police Chief Billy Grogan, whose tenure has been tainted by allegations disclosed this year of

PUBLIC SAFETY When police confronted the two men, Molina was dismissive and made several attempts to walk away, according to police. The officer said Molina became loud, vulgar and boisterous when asked to provide his address and birth date.

The report indicated he resisted when officers tried to detain him for information, and he was tackled to the ground.

Officers handcuffed Molina and checked his ID. They found he had no outstanding arrest warrants but arrested him because he was boisterous and refused to provide his date of birth, the report indicated.

DUI & Drug arrests Davis Arenas, 23, of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, Dunwoody, was cited Oct. 9 on Peachtree Place Parkway for disorderly under the influence and disorderly conductobstruction.

Angelica Renee Gonzalez, 23, of Northwood Drive, Atlanta, was arrested Oct. 11 on Perimeter Center West for DUI and lighted headlights/other lights required.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A medical patient bit a Dunwoody policeman when officers responded to an Oct. 6 medical call on Ashford Dunwoody Road.

Police were called to the Jefferson at Perimeter apartment complex where a man was being treated for a seizure,

according to a police report. While en route, officers were alerted that the patient was being combative with EMS paramedics on scene, possibly because he’d taken an illegal substance.

Paramedics gave the man a sedative and put him on a stretcher. While securing him, the patient bit a police officer on the bicep and caused bruising. The officer was transported to Northside Hospital to for treatment, the report stated.

sexual misconduct by one of the departmetn’s veteran officers.

“It’s only after long, hard and agonizing thought that I make this request for Chief Grogan to resign,” Walker said.

“It’s a sad day when the chief of police has to lawyer up.”

Walker referenced a move by the City Council to engage outside council to handle several lawsuits brought as a result of the alleged actions of Lt. Fidel Espinoza, who had been accused of sending lewd text messages and pictures to junior officers and denying them promotions and extra work if they did not reciprocate.

The council made no comment on Walker’s statement, however, later in the meeting, council members voted, without discussion, to retain the law firm of

Eberlee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson to defend the city against lawsuits filed by former police officers Austin Handle and Brian Castellanos.

The council also: • Heard from Dunwoody Economic Development Director Michael Starling about grant applications in process that will assist small business owners who have suffered economically from COVID-19.

• Was given an update by Dunwoody City Manager Eric Linton on various construction projects around the city, including preparations in anticipation of the demolition of the old Austin Elementary school.

The council retired to executive session after the nearly five-hour marathon and adjourned an hour later without taking action.

Battling storm, Girl Scouts meet rising tide

By JEFFREY ALBERTSON newsroom@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The heavy downpour from Hurricane Delta’s outer bands was no match for a Dunwoody Girl Scout Troop bent on helping needy families.

Troop 13580 weathered the storms Oct. 10 to set up a “Little Food Pantry” at the Solidarity Sandy Springs Food Pantry in nearby Sandy Springs.

The Cadette Troop has six members from different area middle schools and has stayed active despite declining membership. The girls have been friends for about eight years.

Modeled after small neighborhood libraries, the troop, with the assistance of a local builder, fashioned a wooden cabinet with a see-through door to make food accessible when the pantry is closed. The construction materials were donated by Home Depot.

The idea developed as the Girl Scouts were thinking of project ideas to complete their Silver Award. The Silver Award is the highest honor a Cadette can achieve. The award requires each Girl Scout complete at-least 50 hours of efforts that result in a sustainable community benefit.

Troop 13580 weathered the storms Oct. 10 to set up a “Little Food Pantry” at the Solidarity Sandy Springs Food Pantry in nearby Sandy Springs. pantry proved a challenge at first, when several churches and local schools declined. However, a connection between Troop Leader Lisa Chatigny and the director of Solidarity Springs Food Pantry, Jennifer Barnes, led to a permanent site.

Chatigny and her daughter Noelle, who volunteer at the food pantry, men-

tioned the project to Barnes, who saw it as a solution to problems that face families when the pantry is closed.

“Our goal is to create an atmosphere of positive energy, handing out food, hope and love,” Barnes said. The Girl Scouts’ pantry, she said, creates instant food for families at all times.

The Little Pantry will be stocked with canned goods, soups, bread, peanut butter, and macaroni and cheese.

“Now families have access to food at any time, and the Solidarity Food Pantry can keep it stocked which means the project is sustainable and serving a community need for the long-term,” said Sandra Vaughn, assistant troop leader.

“In addition to delivering the Little Food Pantry, the girls wanted to stock it for it’s initial debut, so they conducted a canned food drive in each of their neighborhoods.”

Since opening March 27, Solidarity Sandy Springs Food Pantry has served 12,691 households, averaging from five to seven members. On a typical day, 150 to 200 households are served.

Pantry shoppers can select from a variety of fresh produce including tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and limes. Other food staples like bread, rice, beans, peanut butter and flour are available, as well as cleaning supplies, infant formula and diapers.

Solidarity is open for donations on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Shopping is open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, also from 9 a.m. to noon.

THE INVESTMENT COACH

OPINION

On the concept of winners and losers WSJ Magazine, 9/19/20, posed questions to Trevor Noah, host of television’s “The Daily Show.”

One query was, “What’s the one thing hope to see LEWIS J. WALKER, CFP you change in the world?”

Answer: “For people to stop seeing society as a zero-sum game. We’ve convinced ourselves that in order for one person to win, another has to lose.”

A bet will produce a win or loss.

Games have winners and losers. But politicians often corrupt the concept when expounding on economics and the creation of wealth. The politics of envy are in full swing. Some believe the economic pie is finite; if some have a “disproportionate share of the wealth,” others will have less. Do wealth winners create wealth losers?

Jeff Bezos tops the latest (October 2020) Forbes 400 list of “the richest people in America” for a third year in a row.

Quite an achievement since he forked

over $36 billion of his Amazon stock to ex-wife MacKenzie Bezos Scott in their divorce settlement, placing her No. 13 on the list. Jeff still is worth approximately $179 billion. MacKenzie is the wealthiest woman in the world at $57 billion. Who won and who lost? The breakup may have taken an emotional toll, but at age 50, financially she’s set for life!

Given the performance of Amazon stock, it’s made owners of the stock, whether in shares or via mutual funds, ETFs, or professionally managed accounts, winners to varying degrees. With any stock you can be a loser or winner, depending on timing and patience. If you purchased Amazon at the peak of the dot.com bubble in 2001, you waited a decade before you were in the profit column. Nevertheless, the $1,000 you invested before the bubble burst, would be worth close to $50,000 today, depending on the day of purchase, reinforcing the adage, “It’s about time, not timing.”

Back to Trevor Noah’s philosophizing about winners, losers and societal attitudes. The fact that Mr. Bezos has stupendous wealth has no bearing on your quest to achieve economic independence. The American wealth pie is not

finite. If Bezos has a gargantuan slice, it doesn’t mean you will end up with a proportionately smaller piece. Folks like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Ballmer, Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, all in the Forbes Top 10, have been wealth creators, generating stock profits for owners, employment for countless thousands directly and indirectly, profits for owners of the real estate they occupy, income for entities their corporations hire, significant philanthropic contributions, etc. That’s the beauty of capitalism, a synergistic wealth generating system now under attack.

True, some business owners and entrepreneurs have to compete with behemoths like Amazon, but that spurs innovation and creativity. Socialistic “fairness schemes” erode initiative and progress, dumbing everything down.

Overtax wealth, and wealth migrates somewhere else. Money goes where it’s best treated. Why are states with low or no income taxes growing faster than high-tax states?

Elizabeth Warren proposed a wealth tax estimated to cost Bezos $4.1 billion in year one. You may think he can afford it, that’s only 2.3 percent of his wealth. However, most of his wealth is in Amazon stock and forced sales could depress the value of the stock for the “little people” who own it.

Beware of seeking to make the rich pay their “fair share.” A story in The Washington Post (now owned by Jeff Bezos) dated July 16, 1993, “How To Sink An Industry And Not Soak The Rich,” by James Glassman, is instructive. In a 1989 budget squabble, Con-

gress decided the rich weren’t paying enough taxes on their yachts, toys, airplanes, and baubles. So they slapped a 10 percent excise tax on luxury goods costing over $100,000. Why not? “Only the rich will pay!”

A $2 million price tag on a yacht jumped to $2.2 million. Guess what happened? Noted the Post, “In its first year and a half, the yacht tax raised a pathetic $12,655,000 for the Treasury.

That’s enough to run the Agriculture Department for a little over two hours.

Meanwhile, the tax has contributed to the general devastation of the American boating industry — as well as the jewelers, furriers and private-plane manufacturers that were also targets of the excise tax that was part of the 1990 budget deal.”

The Post opined, “In trying to go after the rich guys’ toys, Congress put the toymakers out of business,” bankrupting enterprises and killing employment. The rich bought foreign-made toys not covered by the tax. Sound familiar? Remember Ross Perot’s famous “sucking sound” as factories and jobs moved abroad?

When politicians declare, “Only the rich will pay,” grab your wallet!

OPINION

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Charter Commission errs with emergency powers idea My response to the Dunwoody Charter Commission’s proposal to allow city officials to implement “emergency powers” was one of disbelief.

How could they think that this would be a good idea? There are so many ways that this would lead to catastrophic failure (both to our personal liberties and to the political futures of those involved).

What event would trigger it? And, more importantly, what power would they have? With our current experiences with our city council, I can assure you that it won’t be good. And with only three council members voting for this so-called “state of emergency,” it makes Dunwoody look like a banana republic with a ruling junta in charge.

It seems to me that we should be making local government less intrusive and less overbearing, not more.

Let us just hope that the citizens of Dunwoody send this proposal down in flaming, agonizing defeat.

OBITUARIES Mary Louise Ellard, kind and true, real and gracious, leading by example to the end, entered the kingdom of her Heavenly Father on September 22, 2020.

She was born on AuELLARD gust 29, 1937 in Mount Airy, North Carolina to Zebulan Vance Hatcher and Eva Clyde Hatcher.

Leader, teacher, volunteer on countless mission trips and VBS cookie lines, she lived a life of giving and serving others. Starting her own business and employing dozens of teenagers who continue to speak of her impact 30 years later, Mary Louise taught by example with enthusiasm and hard work. Cheering for almost any football game, she yelled loudest for the Georgia Bulldogs, Paladins and Spartans. Eventually, because of the love of family she cheered for the Clemson Tigers too.

She treasured her family and is survived by her great grand daughter Eva Louise Cochran, grand children Julia Ellard, Chase Cochran and his wife Rachel Cochran, Amanda Cochran, Justin Ellard, daughter Robin Cochran and husband Frank Cochran, son John Ellard and wife Laura Ellard. Countless others called her friend.

COMMUNITY

A small glimpse of her life is capture by those who spoke about her impact.

• From a friend and co-worker…

“Mary Louise was an integral part of bringing me to Jesus. So many mornings we would read and discussed the Bible together.”

• From one of her employees… “There was something very special that you did with those teenagers that worked for you (and your endless amount of energy).

You allowed us to serve in a healthy environment. You pushed us to do our best and to clean better and faster than the time before. Nothing prepared me for life more than working for you. I remember thinking, ‘maybe she will get tired today and we can cut our office load from 10 to 8 (or something like that)’. That never happened.”

• From a friends and fellow sports fan…”We love your spirit and excitement but most of all your heart. We will always cherish the ‘They are going DOWN’ moments at football and lacrosse games!”

• From a friend 35 years ago… “She was that rare lady who was everyone’s Mom when we were middle and high schoolers. She would love you and give you a word of encouragement or speak a firm word of TRUTH if you needed that too.”

• From a neighbor… “Mary Louise was always helping me, taking me to the doctor and the vet for my dog. We went

lots of places together.”

• From one of her grandchildren… “I always tell people that if I can manage to become half the woman you are, that I will have succeeded in life. I think a lot of the time, you don’t even realize how much of an impact you have and it really is a testimony of gracefulness in your life.”

In lieu of flowers, donations are suggested to the Dunwoody Baptist Church Fitness Center, 1445 Mt. Vernon Road, Dunwoody, Ga 30338.

Barbara Sudderth Dabbs, of Dunwoody, Georgia, passed away on October 13, 2020.

An Atlanta native, Barbara was a near 50-year resident of Dunwoody and took great pride in living in and supporting the community she DABBS dearly loved. Affectionately known as Babsie by not only her three beloved grandchildren but family and friends alike, she was an incredibly special and beautiful lady. From being crowned the first homecoming queen at Osborne High School in Marietta, Georgia, to raising her two children and playing a pivotal role in raising her grandchildren, she conducted herself with grace, dignity, and class. Family was truly everything to

Babsie and she always ensured her family felt loved and special. She could be a force to be reckoned with as she was fiercely loyal and supportive of those she loved. She enjoyed traveling, reading, spending time with family and friends and was always ready for an adventure.

Barbara lit up every room she entered and never met a stranger. “The fabric of Babsie” had many vibrant colors that wove together to make her a unique, strong, compassionate, loving and intelligent woman who will be missed every day by many. Barbara was preceded in death by husband Larry; son Tom and parents Bill and Hallie Sudderth. She is survived by her daughter Lisa Cronin of Atlanta; grandson Trey Dabbs of Marina Del Ray, California; granddaughter Morgan Cronin of Atlanta and Craig Cronin of Atlanta. She is also survived by brother and sister-in-law, Bill and Judy Sudderth of Macon, Georgia, and numerous other loving family members. Due to the current circumstances, there will be a graveside ceremony for immediate family only. The family plans a future event to celebrate and honor Barbara. In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made, in her honor, to the American Cancer Society, in support of Pancreatic Cancer or to PSC Partners, in support of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis.

Brookhaven officially recognizes historic Lynwood Park district On Oct. 13, the Brookhaven City Council approved the “Historic Lynwood Park Recognition Ordinance.”

Councilwoman Linley Jones, who represents District 1 of Brookhaven, VALERIE read the ordinance BIGGERSTAFF to all attending the virtual meeting.

PAST TENSE The ordinance states, “Lynwood Park, established in the early 1930s, was the first predominantly Black subdivision in DeKalb County, Georgia.” It also points out that the community suffered discrimination and segregation, as well as unequal resources in a time of school segregation.

Kathy Wells, chair of the Lynwood Park Foundation, which works to preserve the history of the Lynwood Park Community, shared her thoughts on the ordinance.

“Lynwood Park was known for its unity, strength, and independence, even in an era of legal racial segregation,” she said. “Our history is rich in struggle and triumph, all of which deserve recognition.”

She thanked Councilwoman Linley Jones, who worked closely with the Lynwood Park Foundation to “ensure that the history of our community is recognized, honored, and held in high esteem in the city of Brookhaven and DeKalb County.”

Barbara Shaw, who has lived in Lynwood Park for 62 years and is a member of the Lynwood Park Foundation, spoke to the significance of the ordinance.

“This is very heartwarming for myself because I have been waiting for this for years,” she said. “Thank you for all you have done for the city of Brookhaven and to help Lynwood Park be a historic city,” she said.”

Another representative of the Foundation, Charlene Scott Bowden, expressed her support of the ordinance.

She is a fourth-generation resident of Lynwood Park, her parents attended Lynwood Park School.

“Though it’s not the same neighborhood that it used to be, the Historic Lynwood Park Recognition Ordinance will spotlight Brookhaven as the city that encompasses this illustrious history,” she said.

After some additional comments, the City Council voted unanimously in favor of the ordinance. Through the ordinance, the council commits to support Lynwood Park Community and events, such as the annual Lynwood Park Community Day, the annual Martin Luther King Day Dinner, which recognizes the Lynwood Park integrators, and other historic events.

A historic marker will be placed on the exterior of Lynwood Park Recreation Center to recognize the history of Lynwood School as an important part of the history of Brookhaven. A marker inside the building will list the Lynwood Park integrators and recognize them as trailblazers. A room in the Lynwood Park Recreation Center will be available to the historic Lynwood Park Community members for meetings related to the community.

The building that is today’s Lynwood Park Recreation Center was the second school built in the neighborhood. The first school was a small wooden building, built by the community in 1942.

In 1949, the community bought a few acres at the end of Osborne Drive for the purpose of a new school. The acres were later deeded over to DeKalb County and the school was constructed.

Lynwood Park School was one of several “equalization schools” across Georgia, where changes and improvements were made to schools for Black students, supposedly to make the schools equal while maintaining segregation.

However, Lynwood and other “equalization schools” did not have facilities, books or supplies that were equal. It was the dedication of Lynwood Park teachers and administration that led the students to become high achievers. In 1968, Lynwood Park School closed, and students integrated Jim Cherry, Montgomery and Huntley Hills elementary schools, and Cross Keys and Chamblee high schools.

Alpharetta woman injured in 2008 crash leads campaign effort

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — It is a message often heard and always understood — distracted driving endangers all on the road — but sometimes we need a reminder.

That is the message behind a new campaign from Molly Welch, an Alpharetta native and founder of distracted driving awareness group A Second Later.

The group is fundraising for bumper stickers and magnets reminding drivers to keep their eyes on the road, a simple message with serious implications Welch knows all too well.

In 2008, Welch was a junior at Auburn studying journalism. After visiting a friend over the weekend, she was driving back to her school when she suffered the consequences of distracted driving firsthand.

Welch took her eyes off the road to play back a recording she had made of an interview. In that momentary lapse, her car veered into oncoming traffic and was struck by a pickup truck.

The crash left Welch in a coma for weeks and with a traumatic brain injury.

The incident left her nearly unable to speak, and it was three years before she could walk again.

Welch’s story has a positive outcome, though, following speech and physical therapy. She completed her bachelor’s degree four years after the crash and now works as a motivational speaker and leads initiatives aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of driving while distracted.

It is her hope the bumper stickers and magnets will help keep drivers’ attention on the road ahead.

“I want to see them on the back of every car, bus or truck,” Welch said. “Like the name, ‘A Second Later,’ that’s all it takes. It’s not worth it. No conversation, no text message, it’s not worth the suffering and heartache.”

Marie Koch, owner of North Atlanta Kids Directory, became involved with Welch and the awareness campaign and emphasized the importance of the magnets as a reminder to stay focused while driving.

“It’s a nice reminder,” Koch said. “It can change your life, a stranger’s life and then you have the ripple effect to

families, just because someone was putting on mascara while driving. It’s not just texting, it’s eating, being distracted by music or anything else.”

Welch said she hopes the stickers and magnets will raise awareness and help her get the message to others.

Funds collected through A Second Later will be used to spread the word on billboards and in movie theaters. It will also help Welch to travel to other states to speak. Her message is geared to all ages. She has spoken before senior resource groups and to kids in fifth grade.

“Distracted driving can affect any age,” Welch said. “Kids definitely should make sure they are not a distraction, and make sure parents have a cell phone mount so they’re not holding the phone or distracted by it.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up for those who want to donate to the first round of magnets and bumper stickers and can be found at gofundme.com/f/ keep-your-eyes-on-the-road.

COMMUNITY

Mural: Continued from Page 1 later at the Dunwoody Nature Center’s Butterfly Festival, and 18 months after the incident, she participated in a 5K race in Dunwoody.

“Amanda’s incredible determination and efforts to heal are the inspiration for my mural design,” Michaels said. “The saying, ‘when life gives you lemons’ is an idiom for misfortune, and butterflies are a metaphor for metamorphosis and beauty. The lemons transitioning into butterflies in this mural are symbolic of her pushing herself to walk again.”

The mural will be displayed for the next year. At the Oct. 10 event, attendees maintained social distancing by making appointments to see the mural and greet the artist.

“The mural is a symbol of the journey that Amanda achieved by doing things that doctors believed that she would never do again — walk unassisted,” Michaels said. “It’s also a tribute to all the people stepped up to help us during her recovery. It was truly amazing.”

Michaels said he hopes that passersby will be as inspired by the finished product as he was during the five days he spent building the wall and painting the mural.

“I hope those driving or walking by get as much happiness and hope and it gives me when see it,” he said.

Michaels, who creates murals, illustrations and metal sculptures, can be found under the moniker “Paint with Christopher” and “Christopher Michaels Art” on Facebook.

A limited-edition print run of the final work will be available for purchase at the Spruill Gallery. Prints may also be purchases online at spruillgallery. myshopify.com.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — To say 2020 has not been kind to the Dunwoody football program would be an understatement.

The year started with the Wildcats learning they would be moved up to 7-A, competing against the state’s largest athletic programs. Then, the pandemic struck, and the DeKalb County School District forced Dunwoody, along with the rest of the county’s schools, to cancel the first three games of its season.

But the ultimate insult came last Friday, when the Wildcats lost to archrival Chamblee, 21-10, snapping its six-game win streak against its neighbors to the south.

“They outplayed us and out-coached us,” Dunwoody head coach Mike Nash said. “I think I’ve been so focused on coaching against COVID and making sure we get to play this season, I’ve spent less time on football. That’s on me.

But overall, hats off to [Chamblee]. They did a great job and deserve to revel in this.”

The Bulldogs had four interceptions, including two by junior Dietrich Shugars, one of which he returned for a touchdown. Junior Jameel Avery had a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Nash was not shy about giving credit to Chamblee coach Scott Schwarzer.

“Scott has done a hell of a job at Chamblee in two years,” Nash said.

“I say it every year. If someone goes over there and figures it out, we are in trouble.”

The loss drops Dunwoody to 0-3 as it prepares for its final non-region game against unbeaten Fellowship Christian (6-0).

Dunwoody’s Connor MacDonald is hauled down just shy of the goal line.

“We first have to figure out who we are,” Nash said. “We still don’t know.

We graduated all of our skill players (last year) and we are trying to find our identity. Are we a spread, air raid team?

Are we run, play-action team? Honestly, I don’t know right now. Your offense has to fit your personnel. I’m still not sure where that is. We have one more (nonregion) game to answer that question.

It is against a ridiculously good team.

Fellowship looks as good as anyone I’ve seen on film in the last 10 years. But we need to decide who we are and what we are this week. If we can answer those questions, I feel good about our chances.

I believe in these kids. I need them to believe in themselves.”
