DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath put the focus on veterans at an intimate town hall Dec. 2.

A little over 50 people, at least a third of them veterans, attended the event, which McBath’s office said is her fifth town hall since her election last year. After McBath spoke and took questions from the audience, there was a resources fair with organizations that serve veterans.

McBath said she hosted the town hall to hear stories firsthand and learn how to better help her veteran constituents.

“Even though you are my constituents, you are my family,” McBath said.

“It is my job, my responsibility to care for you, represent you and value as if you were my own family.”

McBath’s talk focused on poor levels of service at Atlanta’s Veterans Affairs Medical Center; veteran suicide, especially suicide by firearms, and veteran access to healthcare, especially for women veterans.

McBath found a personal connection to each of these concerns.

McBath said she comes from a military family, with her father, oldest brother, nephew and cousin all serving in some capacity. She compared her brother’s “glowing” review of the VA center in San Diego with her visit to the Atlanta facility.

In 2018, the Atlanta facility was one of nine in the country to receive a onestar rating from the federal VA. Reports have found it is understaffed and its

staff undertrained. In September, a Vietnam Air Force Veteran staying in the facility was found covered in ants with hundreds of bites.

“The stories I have heard about the lack of care, the lack of services provided has greatly disturbed and greatly concerned me, because for anyone who has had the strength and fortitude to put on a uniform and serve in our military services deserves so, so much more from America and so, so much more from the state of Georgia,” McBath said.

McBath said she is working to get answers from the medical center and praised Sen. Johnny Isakson for his work to improve the facility.

“I hope to be able to build upon the foundations he’s already laid on your behalf,” she said.

In 2017, there were 194 veteran

The employee said the man had taken two laptops and two Amazon Firesticks from the store without paying.

The employee approached the man outside of the store to recover the merchandise.

The man then allegedly took out a knife and threatened the employee before fleeing.

The store provided police with footage of the incident.

DeKalb Watershed Management receives statewide Gold Award DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — The DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management was recently recognized with a top for wastewater collection system operations award from a statewide professional organization.

The suspect demanded the woman send $100 through an app to get her dog back and said they had many people who were interested in buying the dog.

Police are investigating a possible lead.

Bank employee thwarts man’s attempt at fraud DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police are looking for a man connected to a Nov. 26 attempt to cash a fraudulent check.

The man entered the Synovus Bank on Chamblee Dunwoody Road that morning and presented a $900 check to cash. He also gave his identification and Social Security Card.

A teller ran the check and discovered it was fraudulent. When the man asked for his cards back, the teller said he would get them back once police arrived.

The man then attempted to grab his card, was unsuccessful and left the bank.

The owner of the van told police he parked the vehicle that evening, and the next morning noticed the back-passenger door was open.

He said several items were missing, including drills, circular saws and finish nails. The man’s wallet was also missing.

Man sees account activity after theft of bank card

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police are investigating a Nov. 25 van burglary at Lake Ridge Lane.

DUNWOODY, Ga. — A Dunwoody man met with police Nov. 29 after he realized his debit card had been used in two fraudulent activities.

That morning, someone withdrew $500 cash from his account. About an hour later, there was an attempt to deposit $8,100, but it was declined.

The man said his card and his mail had been stolen from his mailbox on Nov. 18. Police said his was among several mailboxes at the Notting Hill apartments that were burglarized that day.

“After many years of mismanagement and dysfunction, this award is evidence that the DeKalb County Watershed Management Department has made verifiable progress and improvement,” DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond said. “DeKalb has prioritized enhancing customer service, properly treating wastewater to protect the environment and ensuring the viability and integrity of the system.”

GAWP is Georgia’s largest professional water and wastewater organization.

The GAWP award recognizes utilities that strive to continually improve their systems through proper management, maintenance and operation. The award criteria follow the practices set forth

in the DeKalb County Capacity, Management, Operation and Maintenance program, which includes preventative maintenance, system evaluation, rehabilitation programs and training.

DeKalb County annually processes, treats and releases 12 billion gallons of clean water into the South River through two wastewater treatment plants, Snapfinger and Pole Bridge. The plants have also been recognized by GAWP for 100 percent compliance with pollutant removal levels set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division.

DeKalb School Board members adopt superintendent search profile

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — In a Dec. 2 meeting, the DeKalb County Board of Education accepted a superintendent search profile that will help guide its selection of the school district’s next leader.

The profile reflects information gathered through a community input process conducted by BWP and Associates, the national search firm assisting the board in finding a new superintendent.

BWP collected feedback from parents, teachers, students, staff, community groups, governmental officials and school board members throughout November.

They heard from 1,900 individuals via face-to-face interviews, focus group discussions, community forums, hard copy feedback and an online survey.

According to the data from the input process, members of the community believe the top three most important skills the next DeKalb superintendent must have are financial (61.4 percent), communication (59.1 percent) and managerial (56.0 percent) skills.

Community members said the top three characteristics the next superintendent

should exhibit are integrity (65.1 percent), commitment to the community (49.6 percent) and good judgment (47.0 percent).

The responses indicated the community is looking for someone with a background as an educator and highlevel administrative experience in a large, multicultural, urban district with a proven record of success. They are looking for someone student-focused and committed to academic success, who also possesses experience in finance and political savvy.

The public said it wanted a leader who was transparent and accountable, and someone who could inspire change and was unafraid to go against the norm.

Representatives from BWP acknowledged finding a candidate who met all the criteria would be a high bar to clear. They advised the School Board that to attract the best candidates it was important keep the applications confidential for the time being and to show a unified front.

“Every member of our community and staff should have a say in who the new leader of the district is going to be,” Board Chair Dr. Michael A. Erwin said. “With

DeKalb Schools recommends cross-cluster redistricting Schools:

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — The DeKalb County School District has presented its recommendation for redistricting, a plan that involves moving students from Hightower Elementary outside the cluster.

The redistricting plan is expected to go before the School Board for a first read in January 2020 and for adoption in February. It is set to go into effect August 2020. Austin, Chesnut, Dunwoody, Hightower Kingsley and Vanderlyn elementary schools will be impacted.

Redistricting has come about with

the anticipated opening of the new Austin Elementary School on Roberts Drive in Dunwoody in January 2020.

The school will have 950 seats — 450 more than the current facility — but 711 students enrolled.

With 1,177 students, Dunwoody Elementary is the largest elementary school in the cluster and, along with the next largest Hightower Elementary, is more than 200 students over capacity.

The staff-recommended plan attempts to balance overcrowding across all schools. Portable classrooms, or trailers, would be added at Chesnut and Kingley, and the new Austin school

would open with portables. Overall, there would be 17 fewer trailers.

To further relieve overcrowding in the Dunwoody Cluster schools, the staff recommended a plan where 108 students from Hightower Elementary attend the newly built Doraville United Elementary School.

The students currently zoned for Hightower would continue to feed into the Dunwoody Cluster schools, Peachtree Charter Middle School and Dunwoody High School.

For all schools, rising 5th graders would have the option to continue at their current school, but no transportation would be provided by the school district.

Continued from Page 4 BWP and Associates’ thorough and transparent process, I am confident the new leader will be reflective of the values and commitments that this community holds. The board fully supports the desired superintendent profile, and we are looking forward to the next step in the selection process.”

December 14 is the application deadline for the superintendent position. The BWP search consultants will then complete comprehensive reference and background checks on applicants.

Last summer, then Superintendent Stephen Green announced he would not seek an extension to his contract which was set to end June 2020. In November, the school board voted to terminate his contract immediately.

Ramona Tyson was named interim superintendent as the Board of Education continues to search for a new leader. Tyson has announced she will retire on June 30, 2020, and the school district is set to find a new superintendent by then.

OPINION

The INK PENN

To read or not to read Do people still read books? It depends on whom you ask. A Wall Street Journal article posed the question differently: “Does the Book Have a Future?”

I discovered that we’ve been bemoanKATHY ing the death of MANOS PENN reading for at least a century. The author of the article regularly reviews books for the WSJ and begins by referencing an essay from 1902, “The Lost Art of Reading,” in which — you guessed it — the essayist expresses concern that people don’t read as they once did.

In surfing the internet, an activity often blamed for the supposed death of reading, I discovered that 74 percent of adults have read at least one book in the last 12 months. Book is defined as “book in any form.”

Those who worry about our reading habits seem more concerned that the internet has lessened our “capacity to focus on lengthy works of literature.” As a former English teacher, I’m happy if folks read books, period. I read literary fiction, to be sure, but I’m addicted to mysteries and have spent many more of my available reading hours on books

by John Sandford, Robert B. Parker, Michael Connelly and the like than those

by Iain Pears, Elizabeth Kostova and Ian McEwan.

Can you recall the days when we worried that children watched too much TV instead of going out to play — or perhaps instead of reading? Today, we worry we spend too much time in front of our phones, tablets, computers or TVs. What will the worry be in the future?

What I don’t know is how many folks are avid readers, as I describe myself.

I read at least two books a week as opposed to one a year. I also read excerpts from the WSJ every day and daily news alerts that somehow show up on my tablet. Don’t ask me how.

How did I become an avid reader?

How did I become a person who wants to shoot herself if she’s sitting in a doctor’s office without a book? Blame it on my parents. My mother read to me when I was a child. She took me to the library even though we lived in NYC and had to

ride the bus to get there. Santa brought me books. If my father didn’t have a book to read, he’d pull a volume of the encyclopedia from our bookcase. They taught me well, and yet they worried about my being a bookworm.

What are you missing if you don’t read books? Is it detrimental to spend more time reading newspapers and magazines than reading books? Either habit can build vocabulary. Either habit can expose you to new ideas or expand your horizons. Is reading “The Hobbit” better for you than reading a newspaper? One is fantasy, and some would argue the other sometimes borders on it. One may distract you from the grind of daily life, and the other may depress you no end.

Given the option to read or not to read, what would you choose? If the answer is to read, what would you read?

Books, newspapers, magazines? Fiction or nonfiction? I will always choose to read and to read books.

“So many books, so little time.”

That’s me.

Cool, dry weather and your skin ‌ winter-proof it

By Josh A. Hammel, MD Board-Certified Dermatologist and Fellowship-Trained Mohs Micrographic Surgeon, Dermatology Specialists of Georgia While most think summer sun exposure makes it the hardest Dr. HAMMEL season on skin, winter can be just as harsh.

The fact is, winter brings with it cooler temperatures and decreased humidity that can quickly make the skin dry, cracked, flakey, and itchy. With dry air our skin loses moisture during these colder months, and its protective epidermal barrier (the outermost layer) becomes more prone to cracking and irritation by the environment, which leads to unsightly, itchy skin. For many, their skin can feel chapped and tight, and in some cases, may even crack open and bleed.

Having a winter skin care routine in place will help prevent and minimize the potential damage to your skin.

The main goal of this routine is to help avoid stripping the protective oils from your skin, allowing it to retain its natural moisture. These steps include limiting time in the shower or bath to ten minutes or less and bathing with lukewarm, not hot water, followed by gently blotting your skin dry with a towel. After toweling off, a moisturizer or emollient should be applied to all affected skin, keeping in mind that thicker products sold in jars are more effective for severely dry skin. Choosing a moisturizer that you like and will use regularly will go a long way in helping keep your skin nourished over these colder, dryer months.

Another helpful tip is to get in the habit of applying moisturizer not only immediately following your shower or bath but also at least one other time during the day, making sure to pay special attention to any persistent dry spots. I also let my patients know that using a humidifier in the home will help replace some of the moisture that the heat in their house strips from the air. The winter season is also an opportunity to remind people that dehydration isn’t just something to be concerned about in warmer months: drink plenty of water as a way to help your skin cells stay hydrated and healthy. And, don’t forget to care for

Having a winter skin care routine in place will help prevent and minimize the potential damage to your skin. your lips, as they are just as likely to become dry and chapped as the rest of your body. Be sure to apply a liberal coat of lip balm with sunscreen included.

Having a winter care routine in place can make all the difference when it comes to keeping your skin healthy and happy. And, if you need a little help finding the right products and fine-tuning your routine, please do not hesitate to make an appointment for us to winterproof your skin.

Midwifery at Findley Road FAQs What is a Certified Nurse Midwife?

McBath: Continued from Page 1 suicides in Georgia, 14 percent of all Georgia suicides that year, and 77 percent of Georgia veteran suicides were by firearm, according to VA data.

McBath’s son was murdered in November 2012 when he was 17. His shooting led McBath to become a guncontrol advocate. She said she has a deep understanding of gun violence and suicide by firearm.

“I am still a mother, what I would be giving to my son, I translate into providing for you,” McBath said.

A report by the VA found the Atlanta facility failed to complete mammograms for 42 patients from 2014 to 2017. McBath said this was unacceptable.

“I’m a two-time breast cancer survivor,” McBath said. “I understand how important consistent yearly mammograms are, and for women who are at risk, every six months. I get that, because I understand the reason I am standing here today is because of the early detection of mammograms and ultrasounds.”

After McBath spoke there was time for a few questions, all asked by veterans. Some said in spite of the overall system, they’d had good experiences

Crisis Resources The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-8255, is toll-free, confidential and always open. The deaf or hard of hearing can contact the lifeline at 1-800799-4889. People can also text 741741.

More crisis services and suicide information can be found at suicidepreventionlifeline.org and veteranscrisisline.net. with some employees at the Atlanta VA center. Others said a complete turnover was needed.

Attendees said there needed to be better training for employees and volunteers, more consistency across different facilities, and an easier process for when patients are referred to outside healthcare providers.

In August, McBath became part of a small number of freshman representatives to introduce a bill, have it passed by both chambers and signed into law.

The HAVEN Act — Honoring American Veterans in Extreme Need — amends bankruptcy law to treat Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense veterans’ disability payments the same as Social Security disability

benefits, which are exempt from bankruptcy means testing.

State Rep. Mary Frances Williams, a Democrat from Marietta who introduced McBath, praised the congresswoman for her ability to work across party lines.

“When I think about Washington, D.C., my heart sinks because I think about the gridlock … in the midst of all that Lucy has actually managed to pass a bill and get it signed by President Trump,” Williams said. “That’s really an amazing explanation of how she works across the aisle and how hard she works.”

McBath was elected to Georgia’s 6th congressional district in 2018, flipping the seat for Democrats. She represents parts of DeKalb, north Fulton and Cobb counties, including Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Milton and Roswell.

Following the Q&A, representatives

from local organizations including the Marietta Vet Center, the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program, the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse, the Travis Manion Foundation, the Finishing Trades Institute and the Care and Counseling Center of Georgia met with guests to speak about the services and resources available to veterans in the metropolitan Atlanta region.

Members of McBath’s constituent services team were also on site to answer questions. The office can assist with obtaining copies of military records, replacing of lost or destroyed service medals, applying for Supplemental Social Security Income or Medicare, health care services, education benefits; dependent and survivor benefits, the VA home loan program and life insurance benefits.

Veterans who wish to seek assistance can contact the office at (470) 773-6330.

OPINION

A 1979 Dunwoody shopping experience Holiday shopping in 2019 likely includes a good deal of online shopping, maybe a couple of trips to the mall or outdoor shopping center and a visit to your favorite small businesses. The choices in 1979 were VALERIE quite different.

BIGGERSTAFF If you were looking for electronics for those on your shopping list, you could visit Oodles Electronics World at North Springs Shopping Center on Roswell Road. There, you might pick up a stateof-the-art Craig 8-track stereo recorder for $69.95, a Jensen car stereo, or how about some electronic games? Oodles offered games by Atari, Fidelity and Mattel.

Dunwoody Village offered a variety of shopping experiences to enjoy.

Kentucky’s Best was the place to go for party needs, including food, crafts, toys

and “handicrafts.” Bell’s Christmas Shop featured “Atlanta’s Largest Selection of Christmas Decorations and Greenery.”

After a busy afternoon of shopping, The Dumpling House at Dunwoody Village offered all-you-can-eat fried chicken, salad, choice of potato and homemade biscuits for $3.99. Beef and Burgundy or Ken’s Pizza Parlor were other restaurant options. For dessert, Gerber’s Ice Cream Scene was also in Dunwoody Village with gourmet flavors of ice cream and yogurt.

If you had car trouble while doing your shopping, Dunwoody Village Goodyear Tire Center was also in Dunwoody Village (now Mr. Tire).

If a hair cut was on your list of things to do, Dunwoody Village Barber Shop was the place to go. Interesting to note that this 1979 business remains in 2019.

For your banking needs, there was Fulton Federal Savings, National Bank of Georgia and Decatur Federal Savings and Loan. In other words, there were options, but not anywhere near as many as today.

Holly’s Hallmark Gifts and The Country Shoppe were gift shops located in Dunwoody Hall Shopping Center. There was also Matteo’s Hair Salon.

Basserman Jewelers was located in Georgetown Shopping Center. Camelot Jewelers was in the same location as today, where Jett Ferry Road and Mount Vernon Road come together.

In 1979, Perimeter Mall had anchor stores Rich’s, Regensteins, and J. C. Penney. That was the year that J.P. Allen was added to the list of Perimeter Mall stores. The mall first opened in 1971.

Some of the 1979 stores included Franklin Music, Kinney’s Shoe Store, Casual Corner, Mori’s (still there), The Picture Show, Oshman’s Ski Apparel, Spencer Gifts, and The Gap (also still there).

Food choices at the mall included McDonald’s, Chick Fil A, Morrison’s Cafeteria and Orange Julius.

A movie provides a nice break from shopping, and the Perimeter Mall Theatre was in the parking lot along Ashford Dunwoody Road. The movies playing in

December of 1979 were “Star Trek-The Motion Picture,” “Electric Horseman” and “The Jerk.”

Soon after I got my driver’s license in 1973, I came to Perimeter Mall by way of a much smaller I-285. The stores that stand out in my mind from those early Perimeter Mall days are Rich’s, Franklin Music, and Spencer’s Gifts. If you have memories of the 1979 shopping choices mentioned here or of others not included, write me at pasttensega@gmail.com.

All the stores named in this article were found in advertisements of 1979 Dunwoody Crier issues and 1979 DeKalb Extra/Atlanta Constitution issues.

The origins of financial planning This year marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of financial planning. On Dec. 12, 1969, 13 men gathered at Chicago’s Hilton O’Hare Airport with “a Lewis J. Walker, CFP Hotel sense of shared mission: to raise the level of professionalism in retail financial services and to make ‘financial consulting,’ rather than salesmanship, the driving force of their industry.”

(The History of Financial Planning: The Transformation of Financial Services, E. Denby Brandon, Jr., and H. Oliver Welch; John Wiley & Sons, 2009).

Organizers Loren Dunton and James Johnston contacted a wide range of people in financial services, but as with any new idea, only a few inquisitive and service-minded people are likely to show up, in this case 11 men, primarily insurance and securities salesmen, paying their own expenses to birth what became a profession.

Loren Dunton, who I came to know, had been a seller of vacuum cleaners and encyclopedias, transitioning to financial consulting and mutual fund sales. Dunton told a story of traveling around Europe with his family. People asked him, “Why, if America was such a great country, its citizens had to rely on the government and Social Security for retirement?” Pondering his future, Dunton thought that we had to improve the way financial products were sold and bought in America.

James Johnston, a former life insurance salesman and seller of school

supplies with an interest in education, shared Dunton’s vision regarding financial services. Concluding two days of meetings, the Chicago group resolved to form a membership organization and an educational organization.

The membership organization, open to anyone in financial services, became the International Association for Financial Planning (IAFP) in 1972.

The educational entity emerged as the College for Financial Planning, with Johnston as the first president. In 1972, the Certified Financial Planner designation (CFP) was introduced and 40 men and two women graduated with the first class in 1973.

Since the IAFP was open to anyone in financial services, some of the first graduates from the college decided to create an alumni association strictly for credentialed CFPs, founding the Institute for Certified Financial Planners (ICFP). Yours truly graduated in the third class from the college, attaining CFP certification in 1975. Forming an independent financial planning firm with a partner in 1976, I was a member of both the IAFP and ICFP. In those days, a volunteer paid all of his or her expenses. The “tuition” was worth every penny given the opportunity to know and learn from pioneers and visionaries as a profession was being built.

In 1980 I was asked to join the national board of directors of the ICFP, serving for eight years, including national president, 1986-1987, and chairman, 1987-1988. For any young person dedicated to growth in his or her profession, voluntarism and leadership is one of your most valuable advancement strategies, affording the opportunity to learn and grow with the best and bright-

est. It takes time and, often, money, but go for it!

In 2000, the IAFP and ICFP merged, forming the Financial Planning Association (FPA). The Georgia chapter of FPA is one of the largest in the country.

As CFPs grew in capability and wisdom along with the Age Wave and economic cycles, and as planners and clients wrestled with real world challenges, Loren Dunton’s vision was refined to encompass “financial life planning.”

Merging ideas from life coaching, behavioral finance, and theories of stewardship and spirituality, concepts of one’s relationship with money emerged.

Mitch Anthony, an early proponent of financial life planning, speaker, author of “The New Retirementality” and myriad other books, asks you, dear reader, to ponder the question, “Several years from now, what does your life have to look like in order for you to feel a sense of well-being, that you’re making progress, and that you have the freedom to live life the way you want?” Anthony posits that it’s not return on investment (ROI) that counts, it’s return on life (ROL).

Today we see the terms “holistic” and “comprehensive financial planning.” In the 2012 inaugural “Life Planning” column for the Journal of Financial Planning, this

writer opined, “The World English Dictionary defines holistic as ‘of or relating to the medical consideration of the complete person, physically and psychologically, in the treatment of a disease.’ In financial planning parlance, holistic means a plan that goes beyond money, a comprehensive life planning approach that integrates finances into a bigger picture. What is important to the client, and how do we build a financial and life transitions plan around that? Like a holistic physician, we wish to combine meaning with money in framing strategies that consider the whole person and family.”

Loren Dunton, who died in 1997, would be proud of what his idealistic and prescient vision has become.

Happy golden anniversary, financial planning!

The Bears didn’t quit. On their first possession of the second half, Holy Innocents’ drove 67 yards in nine plays to get back in the game at 14-7. Matt Davis had a key run on third-and-long, and Cox added some short runs before Davis finished the march with a 35-yard run off right tackle.

In the final period, the Bears’ defense remained solid until Mitchell’s long run late in the game.

Bears’ punter Marshall Nichols had a great game, with one effort over 60 yards. Sam Aiken had a key sack, Hunter Hawk was solid defensively, and Davis and Cox picked up tough yards on offense. The Bears will graduate 16.
