Dunwoody completes upgrades to Meadow Lane Road The left-turn lanes on Meadow Lane Road to Ashford Dunwoody Road were extended 100 feet to nearly double the capacity of the lanes.

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Leaders from the city, county and Perimeter District gathered Sept. 6 to celebrate the completion of a number of upgrades to improve traffic flow on Meadow Lane Road.

Dunwoody City Council members joined DeKalb County Commissioner Nancy Jester and Perimeter Community Improvement Districts Executive Director Ann Hanlon for a ceremonial ribbon cutting.

The projects were designed to improve traffic flow, especially during busy weekday travel times. Work started in late July.

“This project is a perfect example of what can be accomplished through mu-

tual cooperation,” Dunwoody Mayor Denis Shortal said in a statement. “The traffic movement and pedestrian safety enhancements on Meadow Lane Road were completed on schedule and on budget. I thank DeKalb County and the PCIDs for their input, support and sharing the cost of these intersection improvements.”

The left-turn lanes on Meadow Lane Road to Ashford Dunwoody Road were extended 100 feet to nearly double the capacity of the lanes. Before the project, vehicles waiting to turn left at this location would frequently line up beyond the turn lanes into one of the eastbound through lanes, which slowed traffic flow.

At Ridgeview Road, a left turn lane was added on Meadow Lane Road for

DUNWOODY, Ga. — Authorities responded to a criminal trespass at Two Blocks Apartments on Dunwoody Park Aug. 28. The property manager told police that the same male suspect who was told to leave the previous day had returned to the property and was found in the residence common room. When he was asked to leave again, the man became combative, the manager said.

When police approached the suspect, he provided them

Air conditioning units stolen from townhomes DUNWOODY, Ga. — A man reported to authorities Aug. 28 that someone had stolen air conditioning units outside of townhomes on Townsend Lane. Seven units were missing, each cut from the rear of each home.

Police noticed that electric panels had been left open and breakers were cut off. Police suspect the thieves removed the units along the walking path and through the rear gate. Police inspected the basement level and found insulation removed from the walls and cut copper wiring.

Suspicious person seen during vehicle break-in DUNWOODY, Ga. — A man reported to police Aug. 27 that someone had shattered the window on his car and stolen several items while he had been parked outside the AT&T store on Perimeter Center. The man said he returned to his Honda CRV to find his driver side window shattered. Upon

Woman reports charges on fraudulent accounts DUNWOODY, Ga. — A woman arrived at Dunwoody Police headquarters Aug. 27 to report an identity theft. Several unauthorized credit accounts had been created in her name, each with multiple fraudulent charges.

She said she first received a notification Aug. 23 stating that charges were made to her Old Navy store credit card at GAP located inside Perimeter Mall. She then received an email from Experian credit monitoring services notifying her of numerous charges placed on her credit report. Upon investigation, she found multiple store credit cards opened in her name at Macy’s and Victoria’s Secret. The total charges at these stores was $1,650. She spoke with the stores to cancel the cards and revoke the charges.

with a name and date of birth. When no results came up on file, a fingerprint scan was conducted with no results. Upon further questioning, the suspect accidentally revealed his real name and authorities found a previous criminal trespass issued for the location. The man was transported to DeKalb County Jail without on charges of criminal trespass and providing false information.

Road: Continued from Page 1 eastbound traffic. The lane provides drivers with a dedicated area to wait for an opening to turn left. The westbound approach to the intersection already has a left-turn lane. New pedestrian crosswalks and signals on the western and northern legs of the intersection were also included in the project.

“The PCIDs was thrilled to partner with the city of Dunwoody and DeKalb County on this project,” Hanlon said.

“This area suffered from heavy congestion during peak rush hour times, and creating more turn lane stacking has now vastly improved traffic flow along Meadow Lane. We look forward to partnering on more quick-win projects with the city and county in the future.”

DeKalb County Commissioner Nancy Jester sponsored legislation to provide $60,000 to help fund the cost of the improvements. The PCIDs agreed to contribute $60,000. Dunwoody City Council approved the remaining costs for a project total of $160,000.

“This is a great project, but even better is the partnership,” Jester said. “I look forward to doing more of these. There’s so much we can do if we pool our resources.”

At both intersections, construction involved removing the existing raised medians. The work was contained within the existing right of way.

“This is a perfect partnership,” Mayor Pro Tem Lynn Deutsch said. “Our roads aren’t just used by Dunwoody residents and when the roads are better they’re better for everyone.”

Police chief outlines initiatives to Dunwoody Rotary Club Ten years ago, Dunwoody became a city and hired a Chief of Police, Billy Grogan.

At the Sept. 6 meeting of the Dunwoody Rotary Club, Grogan said he believes in community policing through which he and his officers combat crime and disorder to improve the quality of life in Dunwoody. He pointed to the similarity in goals of his department and Rotary’s, borrowing a motto for his department from the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.: “What you DO matters — not what you think or say or plan.”

Rotary’s motto is “Service above Self.”

Grogan, a Rotarian himself, demonstrated the department’s dedication to serving with distinction by describing 30 projects Dunwoody Police have sponsored, like Christmas for Kids; Truck or Treat at a Dunwoody park at Halloween; Coffee with a Cop; Safety Seat Checks; raising $200,000 for Special Olympics; AED/CPR training through which 5 lives have been saved; and the Polar Plunge.

Both the Rotary Club of Dunwoody and the police officers help Special Ed

Students in DeKalb improve their basketball skills. Grogan’s team was present and drew applause as they were introduced to the club.

Many of the officers help in ways outside their job descriptions. For example, Officer GROGAN Espinosa found a homeless family of six trying to sleep in the parking circle of Perimeter Pointe.

Two weeks later, after connecting them to I Care Atlanta, they had a temporary place to live and both adults had job interviews.

Grogan concluded his presentation by adding to his motto: “What you do matters, especially when it is inconvenient, when it is not your responsibility, and when you lack the resources necessary to help.”

In the Q&A session, Grogan acknowledged that many of their projects involve children — often at the age at which more are likely to be involved in crime.

The Investment Coach

OPINION

Twitter storms and global jitters On July 24, 2019, yours truly departed for a month long sojourn Down Under, in Australia. On the day I departed, the S&P 500 index closed 3019.55. On Lewis J. Walker, CFP at the first trading day after my return, August 26, the index closed at 2878.38, down -4.6 percent for the period, given a turbulent August. Nevertheless, as of Aug. 26, the S&P 500 is up +15.1 percent for the year, a respectable performance. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shows much the same pattern,

down 5.0 percent July 24 to Aug. 26, but up 16.8 percent for the year.

While traveling, I devour local newspapers looking for trends outside of the American bubble. Australia long has been a close ally of America, from WW I, WW II, Vietnam and today in the Strait of Hormuz. Australian pundits keep a close eye on the American economy, the strength of the U.S. dollar versus the Australian dollar, global, interest rates and U.S. politics, including relations between central bankers and world leaders, especially President Trump’s dealings with China, Russia, Iran, et al.

The same forces that impact interest rates, central bank policies, tariff wars and stock market values here also buffet traders and investors down under.

Much of the current volatility in U.S. markets is attributed to presidential tweet storms and tariff jitters as global growth slows. What’s happening in U.S. markets is normal volatility, within ranges that should be expected by investors. What is lost on many politicians and elites is how all these machinations translate into bread-and-butter issues for workers in the heartland and elsewhere, whether a miner, oil worker or sheep farmer in Western or South Australia, New South Wales or Victoria, or an auto or steel worker in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, the South, or a farmer or fisherman in food production regions across our fruited plain.

Despite the fact that pundits cite those who don’t own stocks as not having a dog in the fights that bounce around bond and stock markets, they do. Low interest rates depress yields on savings for those that save for a rainy day or to just have emergency reserves. Low interest rates make lenders less likely to lend. Those who don’t own securities directly, often have an interest in market performance over time, given participation in public and private pension plans, certain life insurance policies and annuities. Many who don’t own individual stocks own mutual funds personally and in qualified retirement plans, college savings plans, etc. Torpedo stock values and everyone suffers.

Both Aussie and American papers ask, “Is a recession looming?” A recession technically is a slow economic period where the gross domestic product declines and unemployment increases for two or more quarters. A correction in the market is a drop of 10 percent from a previous high; a bear market move, down 20 percent or more from a previous high. Is that likely near term? While opinions are all over the map, no one

really knows. Some pundits are actually cheering for a recession that might imperil Mr. Trump’s reelection odds.

The bottom line is that if you have a stock portfolio of any kind, and you may need to cash out stocks near term to finance living expenses, you should have a reasonable defensive cushion in place at all times, especially if you are retired and dependent on a stock portfolio for a paycheck or “playcheck.” If you have a rainy day fund in good order, and you have quality stocks with good dividend yields, you can stand pat, depending on your risk tolerance and time frames.

You will continue to see worrisome headlines. For example, does insider selling or an inverted yield curve signal a recession? What will the Federal Reserve Bank do? How will all of this impact the dollar? These are normal speculations, and if you have a solid financial and investment plan in place, you should follow headlines with interest, but not let the daily yin and yang drive you nuts!

Perhaps one of your goals should be the option to travel halfway around the globe for a few weeks or a month and not worry about this crazy world. In remote areas of Australia like the Outback or the Kimberley, you can’t get a Twitter feed or internet signal. What a blessing!

Stay nerdy

Labor Day weekend, I had the great pleasure of attending Dragon Con, Atlanta’s largest pop culture convention.

I was not alone.

With an estimated attendance of 85,000 people across five Carson Cook days, this year was Reporter carson@appenmediagroup.com the largest Dragon Con yet.

I’ve always considered myself a nerd.

I love “Star Wars” and comic book movies. I play Dungeons and Dragons. I think staying home with a good book is usually more fun than going to a party.

And I’ve never thought being a nerd was a bad thing. I grew up in a time where being a nerd was cool, or at least wouldn’t get you shoved in a locker.

Fantasy stories like “Harry Potter” and “Game of Thrones” have become mainstream pop culture.

As a nerd, it’s long been a dream of mine to attend a convention like Dragon Con, one that brings fans of fantasy, sci-fi, history, comics, video games and more all under one roof.

Being so close to Atlanta, this year I finally had that opportunity. And it was a blast!

I got to see celebrities like the charming Cary Elwes (“The Princess Bride,” “Stranger Things”) and hysterical Catherine Tate (“Doctor Who”). They were just two stars in an impressive lineup that included George Takei, David Tennant and Zachary Levi.

But my favorite thing about Dragon Con wasn’t the celebrities. It was simply walking around and seeing all the people — many in costumes that they must

have spent hours creating — who had turned out for the celebration of nerdiness.

To be a nerd, by my definition, means allowing yourself to be genuinely, expressively excited about something.

(This means, by the way, that people who wear their favorite player’s jersey to watch a game or spend hours researching to perfect their fantasy team are sport nerds. No less nerdy than the cosplayers and gamers as Dragon Con.) When concentrated in a few city blocks, that enthusiasm is contagious.

It brings a smile to your face even when your feet hurt from waiting in line or walking in crowds.

Everybody has something they become a nerd for. Maybe it’s traditionally nerdy things like “Star Trek” or “Lord of the Rings.” Maybe it’s sports, fashion or crafting.

Whatever it is, we shouldn’t try to downplay our enthusiasm. We shouldn’t try to hide it or pass it off as an ironic interest in an effort to seem cool.

When we put aside fears of embarrassment and loudly share our passions, we find people with common interests and the enthusiasm and joy spreads.

Dragon Con was a welcome reminder to me, and by writing this hopefully to some of you, to stay nerdy.

Home Tour to feature two-story brick home DUNWOODY, Ga. — The 47th Annual Dunwoody Home Tour, set for Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., will include this two-story red brick home in Dunwoody.

Like Phileas Fogg, Home Tour attendees will take a take a tour around the world when they visit this home, but they won’t need trains or hot air balloons to make the journey.

Updated twice in 30 years, the home radiates the personal style and extraordinary interests of its owners. It is one of the four private homes featured in the Dunwoody Woman’s Club’s signature fundraising event.

Tiered gardens and stone pavers sweep visitors up the drive and into a chandelier-lit garage which serves as a staging area for arriving guests. Inside, walls have been removed and windows and glass doors installed throughout all levels to bring in outside light and showcase colorful gardens beyond.

Rich jewel tones, thick Oriental rugs, warm paneling, leather and fine fabric seating, commissioned artwork and unique collections of figurines and pottery from around the world will delight the eye. A Mahjong table invites both uninitiated and serious players to take a turn at the classical puzzle game.

SPECIAL

All profits of the home tour and raffles are used to support the charitable programs of the Dunwoody Woman’s Club, a non-profit organization.

On one side of the lower level is a functional kitchen featuring heat-proof, “unfinished” marble counters at three interlocking heights to accommodate

prep work, barstools and table-level seating. The flooring is faux marble tile, and the ceiling has a lightweight copper tile look. Emmett Kelly porcelains are displayed in the passage off the main kitchen.

Scottish pub decor dominates the other side of the downstairs. Here guests can rest awhile in an intimate sipping alcove or sample a dram with friends from atop tooled leather stools at the built-in, marble-topped bar or stand-alone table for four.

Back-lit shelving displays hundreds of bottles of fine Scotch, sourced on trips to the misty highlands and awardwinning distilleries. For the person who

enjoys a fine cigar with their whisky, there’s passage to an outdoor, covered hideaway.

The upper level of this home offers comfort and practicality. Glass doors bracket a fireplace in the master bedroom, opening to Juliet balconies. Window seating, mirrored casings for clothing, and soft lighting have transformed an adjoining bedroom into a spacious dressing area.

A third bathroom in colors of jade has been added on this level. And one bedroom at the far end of the home carries a secret — a closet replete with magnificent outfits from India, gifts from the owner’s mother.

This home takes you around the world and leaves you secure in the knowledge that the owners love life in all its forms.

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 online 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.

All profits of the home tour and raffles are used to support the charitable initiatives of the Dunwoody Woman’s Club.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Board of Education member (District 1) Mr. Jester excellent work!

My son – 9th grade student – needed help with accelerated math class enrollment. The accelerated math pathway is rigorous, and provides the opportunity to participate in math tournaments, national and local level mathematical examinations; many colleges offer scholarships based on the performance in these tournaments. It also provides an opportunity to graduate from High School with a few college credits that many colleges are looking for.

a genuine students’ advocate!!! He shared information that was accurate and complete, and handled sensitive information appropriately. Mr. Jester followed through on the accelerated class enrollment, and made all parties involved aware of a current status at every step of the process.

And most importantly, he treated everyone - my son, me as a parent, the school officials - with dignity, respect and fairness.

The INK PENN

Would you retire to France?

I pondered that question when I read a Wall Street Journal article about a couple who did just that.

My husband and I are both retired, and I know without asking that his answer would be a resoundKATHY ing “No.” MANOS PENN I, on the other hand, occasionally daydream about the possibility — if not of retiring there, at least of spending several months. Years ago, before our first trip to France, I read another WSJ article about living in Dijon, France, and learning French at the University of Burgundy. The writer had enrolled in a French language immersion program and had enjoyed living and studying in that city for several months.

Our bike and barge trip started in Dijon, and it was a picturesque and walkable city. The fact that it was situated on the Burgundy Canal added to its appeal.

Of course, I was still working back then, so it was a pipe dream for sure.

Several years later, we returned to France to bicycle Normandy with friends. My girlfriend had spent lots of time in Paris, and our time there on either end of the Normandy trip was especially enjoyable because she was familiar with the city. A discussion of taking a two-week French immersion class ensued, and we emailed back and forth about it for a few months when we returned to the States.

We pictured ourselves spending two weeks learning French and then being joined by our husbands for a week of bicycling or driving the countryside. Her husband suggested Quebec would be a more economical choice. Spoilsport!

Neither trip has come to fruition, but you never know.

My daydreaming began anew in 2017, when my husband and I took a Viking River Cruise in the south of France, topped off by a visit with a high school girlfriend who really did retire to France.

She and her husband purchased a cottage in the charming village of Mirmande with the intention of spending part of each year there. Time passed, and they wound up moving to France full time.

They have a condo in Nice where they spend the winter months, and when it warms up, they return to their storybook stone cottage in Provence.

For us, the logistics seem a bit daunting, plus my husband has never been quite as enamored of France as I have. Still, when the next WSJ article appeared, I was intrigued. This time, a

couple had retired to Carcassonne, a medieval city in the South of France.

They found the housing affordable, the weather mild and the scenery amazing.

Imagine walking to the Farmer’s Market several times a week or taking a twominute stroll to your choice of restaurants. Imagine a 20-minute bus ride to the local airport with flights to England, Ireland, Portugal and Belgium.

The practical side of me was interested in health coverage. This couple is paying approximately $1,500 annually for coverage under France’s National Health Insurance Plan which pays 70 percent of prescription costs and doctor and hospital bills. Having just incurred significant medical expenses for my husband’s heart surgery, all of which was covered by Medicare and our Medicare Supplement, I’m not sure the 70 percent coverage would work out all that well for us.

Perhaps I need to stick to dreaming of a month-long vacation, maybe two months. I see us renting a stone cottage in a small village, bicycling to town for coffee and venturing out by train or car to other locales. I think of visiting villages in Brittany and taking a ferry to the Channel Islands. A girl can dream, can’t she?

OPINION

TheCrier.net | Dunwoody Crier | September 12, 2019 | 11

New life and purpose for historic church Stephen Streett and Doug Allen started Misty Creek Community Church in April of this year.

The church first met in a Sandy Springs home, but has held its last nine services in the old stone ProvVALERIE idence Church buildBIGGERSTAFF ing, at the corner of Glenridge Drive and Mount Vernon Highway.

Streett serves as Senior Pastor of Misty Creek Community Church. Members of Dunwoody United Methodist Church will remember Streett as the Youth Minister between the years of 2002 and 2011.

Last year I wrote about Providence Church when Pastor David Shivers told me that First Baptist Church of Sandy Springs was planning restoration of the old church and looking for new ways for it to become part of the community. Orbit Arts Academy was using the church space for rehearsals and storage of costumes and sets at that time, and they continue to do so.

Now in addition to Orbit, Misty Creek Community Church will be using the

historic building to hold weekly Sunday services at 10:30 a.m. Pastor David Shivers of First Baptist Church of Sandy Springs met with Streett and Allen several weeks ago and was thrilled to offer them use of the old stone chapel.

Providence Baptist Church began in 1853 in Dunwoody when Reverend William G. Akin donated land along what is now Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Roberts Drive. In 1876, a brush arbor was built to hold services along Mount Vernon Highway, with the idea that Baptists from Sandy Springs and Dunwoody would attend.

A frame church was built at the current site of Providence in 1878, followed by a second frame church in 1884.

The stone church that stands today was begun in 1938. When First Baptist Church of Sandy Springs was built across the road in 1967, services were no longer held in the stone church.

Annie Houze Cook Kindergarten used the stone church and it’s classrooms from 1949 until the early 1980’s. The church also became home to Northside Independent Methodist Church beginning in 1973. Then, about four years ago First Baptist Church of Sandy Springs bought the property.

For the past eight years Stephen

Streett has served as Senior Pastor of Varnell United Methodist Church near Dalton and Senior Pastor at Clayton United Methodist church in Clayton. He also spent nine months as Hospital Chaplain in Dalton. In addition to serving as the Senior Pastor of Misty Creek Community Church, Streett is working towards becoming a Board-Certified Chaplain and Accredited Pastoral Care Counselor.

Misty Creek Community Church is holding a remembrance service for 9/11 next Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. First responders in the area have been invited and the entire community is invited to this special service.

For more information about Misty Creek Community Church, email info@mistycreekchurch.org or call (404) 913-3369.

SPECIAL

Providence Place is the new home of Misty Creek Community Church, begun

by Stephen Streett and Doug Allen.

The historic church building was built in 1938 and sits at 650 Mount Vernon Highway in Sandy Springs.

Former Fannie Mae chief addresses affordable housing When pressed, 14 | Dunwoody Crier |I’m September 12, 2019 happy to tell how I came through the near economic collapse our country went through in 2008. It’s a story about getting knocked way down only to work a hard Geoff smith row back up. I’m assurance financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com certainly proud, and I certainly had a lot of help from some great people.

But none of it comes close to the story of my recent podcast interviewee, Egbert Perry.

Perry was born on the Caribbean island of Antigua, where today, the average salary is about $23,000 a year.

He was one of 10 siblings raised on a chicken farm there. If you ask him about it, he’ll tell you how great it was growing up there.

“We had 365 beaches there,” he says.

“And it was a real village where everyone looked after each other.”

Somehow Perry found out about a scholarship opportunity for a private high school in New York. He somehow convinced them to award him the scholarship. He went on to study civil engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, earned an MBA at Wharton School of Business with majors in finance and accounting and worked his way up to eventually becoming a chief principal at the nation’s third largest African-American owned business. He became well known around the country as a brilliant man and after the near economic collapse in 2008, was asked to sit on the board of directors for Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae was at the epicenter of the financial crisis, which was born out of bad mortgages being bundled together and sold as good mortgages. Fannie Mae’s role is to encourage home ownership by taking significant risk off the shoulders of the banks and lenders, so they’ll be more aggressive in giving people loans.

HIES volleyball team prepares for big battle

By Dunn Neugebauer For The Crier The Holy Innocents’ volleyball team picked up four victories without dropping a set last week. Thursday, they will face a challenge they have perhaps looked forward to all season when they host Wesleyan at home in a best threeof-five.

Both squads have battled for area supremacy over the years, with HI taking the region title last year — also without dropping a seat. Coach Taylor Noland’s squad swept through last week with conference victories over Atlanta International and Galloway Tuesday before turning back Campbell and Marietta High Schools Thursday.

They faced Galloway and Mt. Vernon earlier this week.

Many have stepped up for Noland; last year’s All-Region setter Ellen Goetz has been consistent once again. She has had able hitters to set to in Renee Davis, Paige Collins and Caitlyn Surdykowski.

Mary Anna Wearing and Maddie Whitaker are two more who have gotten it done all over the court in the early going. The Bears are looking to improve on last year’s Elite 8 finish, where they fell to eventual state champs Mt. Paran

The Holy Innocents’ volleyball team will face a challenge they have perhaps looked forward to all season when they host Wesleyan at home in a best three-of-five. in four sets.

The football team was idle last week and returns to action Friday in Macon against Rutland. Coach Todd Winter & Company have a chance to do something a Holy Innocents’ football squad has never done before, and that’s get off to a 3-0 start.

The Bears blanked Mt. Pisgah 28-0; then followed that by turning back No. 6-ranked Hebron Christian 28-21. HI went into this week at No. 7 in the Power Rankings.

In the Hebron win, Michael Cox scored three more touchdowns to run his two-game total to five. He has gone over the 100-yard rushing mark in both

outings. Matt Davis scored the other touchdown in the Hebron effort on a 37yard run off tackle.

Defensive stars were Spencer Goetz, Ronny Williams, Griffin McKinnis and Hunter Hawk. Kicker Peter Wandkte is now 8-for-8 on extra points.

Things didn’t go as well for the softball squad last week, as they fell to rival Wesleyan on the road. The Bears use Raven Webb and Laine Finley on the mound, while Beth Gilcreast, Charlsie Birkel, Lauren Leonard and Caroline

Mitchem have been solid contributors as of late.

The cross country seniors ran in Macon last week in the heat. The girls placed second among 11 teams, while the boys got a first overall finish out of Liam Hill. Matthew Raeside was ninth overall, while Emily Kallis (5th), and Maddie Lowe (9th) were solid for the girls.

The Running Bears also competed in Cartersville Saturday in the Run at the Rock.
