When city offi cials decided to invite res-idents in to talk about city operations, the fi rst thing the city wanted to discuss was rules about trees.

Brookhaven’s tree ordinance has been re-written twice, but the debate among resi-dents continues. Some residents say they still want better protection for the city’s trees.

And city offi cials say they hear the con-cerns. “One of the largest topics we get phone calls about is the tree ordinance,” Pa-trice Ruffi n, deputy director of community development, said at Brookhaven City Hall on March 16.

She was introducing a new series of work-shops intended to teach the public about the inner workings of government. Th e city launched the series with a session devoted to the city’s tree ordinance.

“So many people want to move [to Brookhaven],” resident Sally Eppstein said during the workshop. “I just don’t feel like homeowners are being respected that much. I know you want more density, but please be respectful.”

But the city’s Community Development Director, Ben Song, said property rights had to be respected, as well. And, he said, the city wants to encourage “smart develop-ment” in the future.

“On a staff level we’re just trying to keep


Halloween parties. Ice cream socials. Wine tastings. Th ose are some of the things that bring neighbors togeth-

er in Brookhaven Fields, a group of small neighborhoods behind the Brookhaven MARTA station between Dresden Drive and North Druid Hills Road.

Long-time residents Donna Hall and Mer-edith O’Connor got together one afternoon to talk about why they love their neighbor-hood.

“It feels like you’re in a community,” O’Connor said. “When you come home, you’re not alone. You’re with your neighbors.”

Hall’s home offi ce sits on Fernwood Circle and overlooks Fernwood Park.

Hall says that community feeling was what sold her on

the neighborhood. “When you walk down the street the neighbors are going to wave at you if they see you,” she said. “Our porches overlook the sidewalk so you can yell out to your neighbors. I’ll step out I see someone walking by.”

A real estate agent, Hall says she bought the townhome 15 years ago when showing a client an-other home in the same development, built and designed by Brookhaven Fields resident Jack Hon-derd.

“I really love nature,” she said, and added that a commercial real estate developer friend told her that near the MARTA station was where she should buy.

Hall listed some of the reasons she fell in love with the neighborhood: “I wanted to be able to look out over a park.

For complete and up-to-date schedule of Brookhaven city meetings, go to http://brookhavenga.gov .

Citizen park advisory committee createdNine residents have been appointed to be members of Brookhaven’s fi rst Parks &

Recreation Committee.Th e city named Shawn Keefe, Mike Allers, Sue Binkert,

Andy Heetderks, Denise S. Johnson, Charles Gerrick, Heather Chasman, Anne Olmstead and Karen Whitehead to be mem-bers of the committee. Keefe will chair the group.

“I am very pleased to appoint these talented residents to this important committee, and very thankful for their willingness to serve our city,” said Mayor J. Max Davis in a press release. “We have close to 300 acres of parks throughout Brookhaven. Our goal is to make our park system one of the premier systems in the Southeast. Th ese citizen volunteers are going to help us get there.”

Serving two-year staggered terms, the volunteer members will work with the Parks & Recreation staff , helping to set priorities. Th e committee will report to City Coun-cil four times a year.

City votes to install speed humps on Skyland, Canmont

City Council on March 10 approved the installation of traffi c calming devices on Skyland and Canmont drives.

Th e city investigated whether the devices should be installed after nearby residents submitted a petition and the city performed a speed study. Richard Meehan, direc-tor of public works, said the speed humps should be completed in the next couple of months.

Brookhaven selected as Tree City USA community

Th e city of Brookhaven has been named a Tree City USA community by the Arbor Day Foundation.

“As a new city, we are very grateful to our residents who have nurtured our trees through all the years, and we will continue to honor that tradition,” Mayor J. Max Da-vis said.

Th e national Tree City USA program rec-ognizes cities and towns across America that meet certain requirements, which include the establishment of a tree board or depart-ment, a community tree ordinance, specif-ic spending levels for urban forestry and planned Arbor Day celebrations.

Th ere are 138 Tree Cities in Georgia. Na-tionwide, more than 3,400 Tree City USA communities serve as home to more than 135 million Americans.

DeKalb approves once-a-week garbage collections

BY JOE EARLE AND ANN MARIE QUILLDeKalb County’s sanitation depart-

ment will cut garbage pickups to one day a week in order to cut costs and avoid a rate hike. DeKalb’s commis-sioners approved the change March 10.

“Th is is an historic vote, and I am pleased that we can move forward to ensure effi -ciency of our operations, and confi rm our need to remain fi scally responsible in the face of rising operating costs,” said Interim County CEO Lee May, who has promoted the change as a way for the coun-ty to avoid an increase in the amount customers are charge for sani-tation service.

Under the new collection sched-ule, residential garbage, lawn trim-mings and recycling will be collect-ed from homes one day each week. County’s sanitation workers also will pick up garbage, recycling and yard trimmings on the same day, so the new schedule will reduce the num-ber of days that sanitation trucks vis-it DeKalb homes from four days a

week to one.Th e county sanitation service will

provide residential customers a new, green, 65-gallon container to use to hold their refuse.

In a “town hall” meeting in Brookhaven on March 12, District 1 Commissioner Nancy Jester said the change will be made during the sum-mer.

But, she said, offi cials in cities such as Brookhaven and Dunwoody could negotiate with the county to adjust that schedule so residents could have more frequent garbage

pickups if they’re willing to pay more.“Th e good thing about being in

Brookhaven, if you don’t like it, the city can negotiate with the county to have another [schedule],” Jester said.

Residential garbage collection costs will remain at the current rate of $265 a year, unless a city negotiates a diff er-ent rate for a diff erent pickup sched-ule, county offi cials have said.

DeKalb’s recent bud-get vote and high wa-ter bills in Brookhaven were on DeKalb Com-missioner Nancy Jester’s mind when she spoke to a group of about 25 residents at Brookhaven City Hall on March 12.

“We are defi nitely bloated and not off er-ing the best, competent service,” said Jester, who lives in Dunwoody and represents the northern portion of DeKalb, in-cluding Brookhaven.

She said she thinks there are ineffi ciencies, particularly in the coun-ty’s human resources and fi nance departments. Jester said that later this month an effi ciency study will be con-ducted and that she’s looking forward to the results.

She said that the fi nance department, not the watershed department, is in charge of water billing. Many residents have recently complained of dispropor-tionately high water bills, and 8,500 bills went out in January with erroneous cutoff notices after bills didn’t go out to those residents in December, she said.

Jester doesn’t expect the situation to improve anytime soon.

“I have absolutely no faith . . . in that department,” she said. “Until it gets re-formed, I don’t think we are going to see vast improvements there.”

However, she said that some im-provements have been seen in the coun-ty’s customer service department, which was outsourced to a private company.

Jester also had sharp words for DeKalb’s recent budget vote. Th e com-mission voted 4-2, with Jester voting no, on Feb. 27 to approve a $1.27 billion budget that keeps the tax rate in areas of the county not located within cities at 21.21 mills, but provides for millage in-creases in cities, including Brookhaven and Dunwoody.

“I think it’s absurd,” she said.County offi cials say the millage in-

crease – 10.8 percent in Dunwoody and Brookhaven – was needed to balance among city residents and those outside cities the amounts they pay into various county funds. Th e tax hike imposed this year follows a tax cut last year, they said.

Jester said she likes the “municipal movement” under way in DeKalb.

“I think the county’s continuing to not be eff ective for you,” she said. “In Dunwoody new sidewalks weren’t going in for decades,” but now they are.

When one resident asked if DeKalb’s CEO structure would ever change, Jest-er responded, “I hope so, but hope is not

a method.”She encouraged citizens to email

their representatives with their wishes.“Your voice is very powerful,” she

said.

Brookhaven’s reserves reach $4 million Th e city of Brookhaven has been able to designate $4 million for reserves in

2015, according to the city.In 2015 the city approved a $31 million operating and capital budget. “By watching the bottom line and making sure the taxpayers get a high level

of service for the lowest possible cost, our city’s fi nances are rock solid,” said City Councilman Bates Mattison in the city publication Brookhaven City News.

City working with county for FEMA land transfers

Brookhaven is working with DeKalb County to acquire 36 land parcels located in fl oodplains, according to the city. Th e county had purchased 125 lots that were subject to fl ooding with funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

According to the city, 36 of those parcels that are located in Brookhaven have po-tential to be converted to greenspace and pocket parks.

Engineer selected for greenway designHeath & Lineback Engineers has been selected by the city

of Brookhaven to develop a master plan for the Peachtree Creek Greenway, formerly known as the North Fork Peachtree Creek Greenway.

Th e project’s goal is to create a system of multiuse natu-ral trails along Peachtree Creek’s North Fork, with begins just

outside I-285, and follows I-85 to the Lindbergh MARTA station.

Firms submit proposals for multiuse trail plans

As nine planning and engineering fi rms have submitted proposals to develop a bicycle, pedestrian and trail plan, striping for bike lanes has begun in various parts of the city.

Th e public works department is seeking community input for the plan, which has a goal of providing a safe and connected network of trails throughout the city.

Hop to the Hyatt Atlanta Perimeter at Villa Christina for our

Egg-straordinary Easter BrunchCity continues to examine tree ordinance

a balance,” he said.During the “Brookhaven 101” ses-

sion, Seth Yurman, city development services manager, said the tree ordinance applies whenever someone applies for a land disturbance permit.

Th e goals of the people who drafted the ordinance, he said, were to protect large “specimen” trees, set standards for planting and replanting trees removed during building projects, and to protect trees during construction.

Tree protection is calculated in diam-eter inches. New requirements say that replacements of specimen trees must provide 1.5 times the total inches re-moved.

City arborist Kay Evanovich said the ordinance states that 100 inches of trees per acre must be preserved, trees can be removed from buildable areas, and spec-imen trees removed from buildable ar-eas must be replaced by saving addition-al trees or replanting new trees.

Evanovich said that an absence of an ordinance could result in reduced aes-thetics, lower air quality, loss of wildlife habitat, property damage and loss of life.

“Th at’s why it’s so important to get this right,” she said.

In February, City Council continued its eff ort to tweak the tree ordinance,

which it modifi ed in August from the DeKalb County version of the law that the city originally had copied.

On Feb. 10, the council voted to change the required replacement of any “specimen tree” a developer removes from a ratio of 1-to-1 to 1-to-1.5. Th e council deferred a decision on raising or removing a cap on the fee developers pay when unable to replace specimen trees. Th e current cap is $62,500.

Th e revised ordinance says that trees in stream buff ers, fl ood plains and de-tention pond areas do not count in acre-age calculations and that removal of trees from any of those areas requires ap-proval.

City offi cials have pledged to contin-ue working on the ordinance with citi-zen input. At the March 16 workshop, citizens continued to push for more tree protection.

Resident Lissie Stahlman, part of a group of citizens concerned about tree protection, said that she hopes to con-tinue the talks her group has had with city offi cials. “I hope we will have a chance to sit down again,” she said.

Katherine Nash said she felt the fi nes imposed by the city for non-compliance with the tree ordinance weren’t high enough when “you talk about a $3 mil-lion development.”

Brookhaven Fields all about communityW H E R E Y O U L I V E

Th e walking distance to MARTA is in-credible. I knew Dresden Drive would do things. Th e redevelopment of MAR-TA is going to be the real deal.”

For O’Connor and her husband, Ri-ley, buying their single-family home in Brookhaven Fields was a long-term in-vestment.

“I moved here 23 years ago after liv-ing in D.C. for eight years,” she said. “I realized how valuable a transit sys-tem was to the city and the properties around it. We knew it was an invest-ment that would pay off in the long run, but we wanted to buy somewhere we

would stay, and, boy, has it ever paid off . Finally living close to a MARTA station is starting to mean something.

“All of a sudden, the things we’ve been waiting on for years are happening.

“Now you can walk to restaurants and shops. I knew that was going to happen, because in D.C., that’s what happened. I knew it was important to be here and I was willing to wait. We were in no rush.

“Other people moved in and left be-cause it was not gentrifying fast enough, but we really did just wait it out.”

Th e pair, who have known each oth-er for 10 years, serve on the social com-mittee of the Brookhaven Fields Civ-

ic Association. Activities organized by the group include a Halloween party, a Spring Fling, wine tastings, a yard sale and an Easter egg hunt.

Some of those events take place in Clack’s Corner, a pocket park that serves as a point of pride for the neighborhood.

Th e property was owned by Howard Clack, who lived on it until he died in 2006. His wish was for the property to become public greenspace.

O’Connor said that creating the park brought the neighborhood’s resi-dents together, as they had to raise mon-ey to maintain it for DeKalb Coun-ty to purchase and approve it. Th e city of Brookhaven has recently taken over maintenance of the park.

Hall’s townhome looks over the com-munity’s other park, Fernwood Park, a protected spot that serves as a drain-age area for the MARTA station. Due to its topography, events can’t be held on it, but it does have a pedestrian bridge connecting Fernwood Circle and Sylvan Circle.

“You can’t have a picnic on it, but it’s pretty,” O’Connor said.

“Th e woodpeckers came out last week and it was fabulous listening to them.”

STREET TALK

Q&AQ: The Georgia Legislature is debating spending

$1 billion a year on transportation in the state. Do you think that will help your commute?

“Yes, that helps. You’ve got to keep on it. That’s what happened in the United States – we didn’t keep on it and now we’re in trouble.”

David Hanaway

“I’m not sure. It depends on what’s decided that’s going to be fi xed. We all know what needs to be fi xed, but whether they decide that what I think and what is, is two different things. I would hope so because Perimeter gets pretty tight when you’re trying to go somewhere at 4:30 in the afternoon—any afternoon.”

Yolonda Williams

“Yes, it will help if they introduce more MARTA rail transportation in different areas to make the commute easier and ease traffi c. I believe that would help a lot.”

Doyin Oke

“Will it work? It depends on how it’s allocated. It all depends on how it’s used and who’s managing the [work].”

Renuka Thorne

“Not real-ly, because I drive and I never use public trans-portation. Ga. 400 and I-285 are so terri-ble to drive. If they can im-prove it, and I don’t know how far they can improve it, but it would be great. Atlanta’s a growing city, and in the future they have to update the roads so they can compete with other major cities.”

Hanni Akumadu

“No. Most of the roads I travel are two-lane roads that could never be expanded or improved on, and I think the problem is on the other end: building these 1,000-unit apartment complexes on a two-lane road and then wondering why nobody can get to work.”

Brent Luzier

“My commute? It certainly depends on how they spend it. I commute to Norcross, but I’ll be commuting to Alpharetta by the end of the year. I’m hopeful [the commute will get better]. Not confi dent, but hopeful.”

Justin Danner

“That’s a big question because just because a bill is passed doesn’t mean it’s going to be implemented effectively, but it’s a step in the right direction, so I can’t be mad at that.”

Kelly Bell

“I feel it would be helpful. During rush hour my commute is an hour and a half, while it’s 20 minutes when there’s no traffi c.”

New development rolls into Chamblee

The Wright stuff: A family business finds home in Dunwoody

BY LESLIE JOHNSONIn the wake of the Great Recession, business development in Chamblee has picked

up, and the onset of activity is bolstering the city’s entrepreneurial spirit.“It’s exciting. We’re in a development cycle, and it’s a good problem to have,” said

Adam Causey, the city’s economic development manager.Major recent and still-unfolding developments – several of them ambitious mixed-

use projects – in Chamblee include:

• The Olmsted, near the Chamblee MARTA station, will include one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, restaurants and retail. It has been touted as a “Transit Oriented Development,” or TOD. Delivery is set to begin in early 2016. Cocke Finkelstein Inc., along with Macauley + Schmit and Origin Capital, are involved in bringing the project to life.

• The Blee on Peachtree, another mixed-use concept and reimagining of the former Roswell Junction. According to its website, plans call for a chef-driven Food Hall spanning 13,500 square feet; access to a terraced pocket park; 130,000 square feet of selected retail “to fit into the district and be part of the community redevelop-ment” and 30,000 square feet for a natural foods grocer; year-round artist market; up to 125 “loft-style residential units”; electric car plug-ins, bike racks and a roof-top garden, among other amenities.

• Parkview on Peachtree, at Peachtree Boulevard and Clairmont Road, is to be com-pleted in two phases. Plans call for nearly 600 apartment units on top of a diverse commercial component.

Matt Wright and his dad, John, were the first ones in one recent Friday morning. They are most days, Matt Wright said. They usually arrive at their Dunwoody sandwich shop before 7 a.m. to meet vendors delivering fresh produce or to run to the store for last-minute ingredients and to set up the stations where their employ-ees assemble sandwiches and salads.

Their 10 employees trickled in over the next couple of hours. They set to work making soup, putting togeth-er trays of sandwiches for delivery to their corporate catering customers or putting out cookies and desserts.

“Is it 10 o’clock yet?” cashier Kirstee Teesateskie asked, looking up at the clock. It was. Time to open up. Soon, the daily stream of customers would begin filling The Wright Gourmet Shoppe, a 31-year-old family business that has become a Dunwoody institution.

“When we started doing this, there weren’t many lunch places [in Dunwoody]. None of the chain folks,” Matt Wright said. “We were one of the few places. We’ll have people who will eat here this week that have been eating here 30 years. It’s pretty neat.”

Matt Wright, who’s 44 and grew up in the business, manages it now. His dad, John, who will admit only to being “over 70,” owns the place.

Back in the 1980s, John Wright was working as a salesman and traveling a lot. He decided he wanted to get off the road, but “I didn’t know what my next career was going to be,” he said. He decided to open a sandwich shop modeled on one his dad had opened and operated in Tampa, Fla., since the 1960s. “I thought it seemed like a natural thing to do,” he said.

He copied a couple of menu items from the Florida business, including the “Bahama Baby” and the “Beef Martini,” so named because the mushrooms on the sandwich are steeped in vermouth, one of the ingredients of a martini cocktail, Matt Wright said. The Tampa sandwich shop is still operated by members of Wright’s fami-ly, but the two businesses operate independently, Matt Wright said. The Dunwoody shop also has developed a couple of its own specialties, such as the vegetarian “Napa” sandwich, the “Rebel Reuben,” a turkey sandwich, and the “Dunwoody Club,” Matt Wright said.

John Wright lived in Stone Mountain when he opened his sandwich shop. A friend convinced him that

Chamblee seeing building boomCONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

• Peachtree Crossing, a new project in the works with reported plans for a Whole Foods in an anchor spot. Chamblee City Council gave the OK for the development, cover-ing some 11 acres, according to Th e Chamblee Post.

• New construction of Ed Voyles Kia Galleria on Peachtree Boulevard, next to Wendy’s and a new Jim Ellis Audi dealership.

“It’s like we’re just hungry right now for activity around here, post-recession period,” said Lou Alvarado, chairman of the Chamblee Chamber of Commerce, which was formed last year. “We have a City Council, a city manager and a may-or that want business to come to Cham-blee. And they’re mak-ing that happen,”

In addition, the 107-year-old city, which sits at the edge of the rapidly growing Perim-eter area, plans to work on an economic devel-opment strategic plan, with plenty of public in-put, that will help de-termine where it is now and where it should look in the future in terms of growth.

Once a town cen-tered on dairies and rail-roads, according to its history page on the city website, Chamblee also had a strong military presence at diff erent points in its history.

Today there is the Chamblee Motor Mile, an eff ort to draw attention to the dealerships and other car-related busi-nesses scattered along Peachtree Road from I-285 to Clairmont Road, accord-ing to the Chamber’s website; a busy Walmart Supercenter and other big re-tailers; as well as small and mid-sized en-tities, including antiques and consign-ment shops.

Th e new chamber was built on the foundation of the Chamblee Area Busi-

ness and Professional Coalition, which was largely about networking, and the Chamblee Business Association. “You start with a foundation, then go with the walls and framing, and the Chamber of Commerce is like the roof,” said busi-ness owner Alvarado, founder of Handy Husband.

Chamber offi cials also want to pro-mote local arts. “We are establishing an arts community. Th at’s one of the things we’re trying to create is an art incubator, an art activity center here in Chamblee,” Alvarado said.

Some of the ideas behind the devel-oping “Arts Chamblee” initiative in-clude art shows and events. “We feel there is no voice for the arts anywhere in the area,” Alvarado said.

“Chamblee is nestled amongst three great communi-ties: Brookhaven, Dun-woody and Doraville,” Alvarado said. “We’re inside I-285 and we still have aff ordable proper-ties, and I think the city wants to do some really neat stuff . Art is part of that neat stuff . It all goes back to the leadership.”

Alvarado attributes Chamblee’s increased business activity to sev-eral factors, including the presence of DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, prox-

imity to the redevelopment of the former General Motors plant in nearby Doraville, a strong entrepreneurial push supported by city offi cials, as well as millenials, who are keeping the ingenuity wheels turning.

“Th e mindset around here is we all want the best for the city,” Alvarado said. “We hear sometimes where peo-ple want the best for themselves, but it seems we have more of an attitude of, at the end of the day, it’s not about you, it’s not about me, it’s about the city.

“We have a lot of people that want to make that happen, a lot of people that are engaged. It’s a really a good commu-nity.”

Lou Alvarado, chairman of the Chamblee

Chamber of Commerce.

Family-owned sandwich business fi nds a home in Dunwoody

Dunwoody would be a good place to set up shop. “[I was] just looking for a good location that our merchan-dise and food would be appreciated in,” he said.

It’s worked out well. After a few years of oper-ation in a shopping center on Jett Ferry Road, the Wrights settled in 1988 in the Shops of Dunwoody on Chamblee-Dunwoody Road in the heart of the town. Th ey’ve been there since. Along the way, Matt Wright said, the sandwich shop has become “an old Dunwoody place.”

Th ey’ve served generations of Dunwoody families. Matt Wright said he now regular-ly serves adults who fi rst ate Wright’s sandwiches when they were kids who “couldn’t see over the counter.” Th ese days, he said,

they bring along their own children. “It’s really great to have made it that long in a place, where you’re starting to see generations come in,” he said.

He’s gotten to know many of his customers. “When I see them, I don’t see them as ‘customers,’ but as friends,” he said. “Th ey become friends through the business, which is kind of nice.”

About half of the Wrights’ business usually comes from catering, Matt Wright said. Th e shop provides lunch trays for local businesses and sometimes caters home parties. Th e shop turns out 300 to 400 sand-wiches a day, he said, and also sells dishes of lasagna and other foods for take-out home dinners.

“Generally speaking, we do the same things we’ve kind of always done,” Matt Wright said.

Th at may mean getting to work early and running a business six days a week, but the Wrights say they have no plans to do anything else. “I’ve enjoyed the service industry,” Matt Wright said. ”It’s not for everybody, but I’ve always enjoyed it.”

His dad still comes in every morning. He has no plans to retire. “Why? I don’t play golf anymore,” John Wright said. “I’d just as soon keep working. I enjoy it. I’ll be here until [Matt] runs me off , I guess.”

History Center play examines ‘Gone With The Wind’

BY JOE [email protected]

Addae Moon fi rst read “Gone With Th e Wind” last year. He’d seen the mov-ie made from Atlanta writer Margaret Mitchell’s novel, but had never read the book itself.

Surprisingly, the 43-year-old black writer found he liked some things about the 79-year-old novel. Not everything, of course. “I got frustrated with it,” he said. “I had to put it down because I got angry.” But he’d pick it up later and keep going. “I totally understand Margaret’s desire to tell your point of view and your truth, but I also can understand what it feels like to be the victim of someone else’s truth,” he said.

Now he wants others to take a new look at “Gone With Th e Wind.”

Moon, director of theater at the Atlanta History Center, writes history pieces to be performed at the center. Most create char-acters to appear as part of the center’s his-toric presentations.

He’s done pieces about the Atlanta race riots in 1906 and about a slave potter. Usu-ally, the pieces are designed to add diver-sity to the museum’s displays. On March 27 and 28, the History Center will stage a new short play by Moon built around a discussion of racial and social issues raised by Mitchell’s novel.

“Tomorrow Is Another Day,” set in Mitchell’s home the day before the Atlanta premiere of the movie version of her book, imagines a conversation between Mitchell, her husband, John Marsh, and their maid, Jessie, who Moon said “has some issues” about the book.

Moon, taking a break during a recent rehearsal of the play he wrote and also di-rects, said he wanted to write about Mitch-ell and “Gone With Th e Wind” because

the book still looms large in popular cul-ture. “It still resonates with Americans for some reason,” he said.

Th e novel is regularly listed among the most popular books in the country, he said, and the movie, along with the fi lm “Birth Of A Nation,” have played a role in race relations in the U.S. “It’s easy to be critical of the movie, which is more car-toonish,” he said, “but, to me, the book is so much more complex.”

He hopes his play will convince people to think about the novel, and then to talk about the book, and about race and racial divisions in the U.S.

“I want people to read the book,” he said. “I think every American needs to read that book. ... A lot of things in the book are things we’re still dealing with.”

Volunteers Joan Plunkett, Skipper Usher and Laura DeLong examined an old, odd-looking goblet with a screw-on cap. Th ey determined it held a secret.

“During Prohibition, people would take the lid off and pour liquor into it,” DeLong said, pointing out the glass bot-tom.

Th is was just one of hundreds, per-haps thousands, of items set to go on sale during the Sandy Springs Soci-ety’s annual Tossed Out Treasures sale, scheduled for Friday, March 27, and Satur-day, March 28.

When asked if she knew exactly how many items had been donated, Plunkett re-sponded, “Oh my gosh, I couldn’t even begin to tell you.”

Now in its 24th year, the popular sale raises money to further the nonprofi t so-ciety’s goal of providing for other non-profi t groups in the Sandy Springs area.

“Th ere’s a reason we do this,” Plun-kett said. “Th is is the thing that brings us as an organization together. We have fun and support the community.”

Last year, the society’s sale raised $72,000, Plunkett said. Th rough the years, the sale has provided funds the so-ciety has given to more than 20 diff erent philanthropic groups, the society says.

“We’re a service to people because they’re getting a lot of nice things at a good price,” Plunkett said. “We feel like we’re doing two services -- the money we get we give all back, and there may be people who can’t aff ord a lot and they can come and buy nice clothes.”

Clothes aren’t the only things off ered for sale, though.

Th e showroom, this year located in a building at 6337 Roswell Road that once housed a department store, is or-ganized into sections. Th ere are sections for furniture, men’s and women’s cloth-ing, kitchen items, Christmas decora-tions, fi ne silver and china, books, elec-tronics, lamps, toys, jewelry, art and even a “man-cave.”

Lib Th ompson, society president, said the event is “not your usual garage sale. It’s an upscale, resale event.”

Plunkett walked around the sale space one recent afternoon as about 60 volunteers were busy getting items orga-nized. Many asked her questions, even though she now is offi cially an advisor to the event and no longer in charge. “We started this 24 years ago and I was a co-chair,” Plunkett said. “I’ve been working on it so long, lots of people come to ask me questions.”

Individual volunteers are respon-sible for specifi c sections of merchan-

dise, Plunkett said. “Everybody takes so much pride in their area,” she said.

“Everybody in here is a volunteer and they give hours and hours of their

time. Th at’s what made it a success.”Last year, the society celebrated its

25th anniversary. “It started with 15 women that de-

cided they needed to help,” Plunkett said. “Th ey said, ‘we need to get these women together. Women can do a job.’ Th ey got up to 100 people the fi rst year.

“It’s a lot of women from the Sandy Springs area. If you didn’t know them before, you get to know them through the society.”

Standout StudentStudent Profi le:

Aidan Brady Mount Vernon Presbyterian

School, juniot

Few questions on the SAT create more stress for juniors and seniors than the notoriously diffi cult vocabulary sec-tion. Traditionally, students have been confi ned to “old-school” methods of memorizing vocabulary words such as creating fl ash cards, but Mount Vernon Presbyterian School junior Aidan Brady has positively changed the status quo through creating his own iPhone app, “Wordzie,” which teaches vocabulary through games.

Aidan never intended for his app to disrupt the multi-million dollar test prep industry.

Th e idea for “Wordzie” came into be-ing when Aidan became frustrated with the website his AP English teacher sug-gested students use to broaden their vocabularies. He attempted to fi nd a multi-player vocabulary game, and after realizing that none existed, took it upon himself to create one.

Despite being a newcomer to the world of iOS app programming, Aidan quickly learned the basics of coding.

“It didn’t take nearly as long as I thought it would to learn Swift (Apple’s new programming language), however, and before I knew it I was hours into ‘Wordzie’s’ development,” said Aidan. “I actually found ‘Wordzie’s’ default list of words on a random Quizlet set, and af-ter a few modifi cations I wrote a little script to format them in a way the app could interpret. All the code and tex-tures in ‘Wordzie’ are mine, though I did have to do a lot of research to get fa-miliar with the iOS development envi-ronment.”

After spending 50 hours working

hard on “Wordzie,” Aidan released it to the Apple App Store, where it is avail-able for $1.

Not content to rest on his laurels, Aidan already has big plans for the app’s expansion.

“I already have some content in the works for ‘Wordzie’s’ next big version, including ‘Wordzie Clans,’ or groups that users can join and compete in, and speed rounds where you have to answer as many questions as you can correctly before a timer rounds out,” said Aidan. “Overall, I found it lots of fun to design and develop ‘Wordzie,’ and I defi nite-ly plan to release some more apps down the road as well.”

Th is work ethic leads Aidan’s teach-ers to predict great things in his future.

“He’s constantly searching for bet-ter ways to do things, and he is genu-inely interested in sharing his knowl-edge and ideas with others,” said Aidan’s AP English teacher Meghan Cureton. “I think what makes Aidan stand out from his peers is that he has discovered a pas-sion, and his curiosities about that pas-sion have led him to dig even deeper

than most of his peers. Nobody has to tell Aidan to work on his software devel-opment or his app creation; he does it because he wants to. Imagine if all stu-dents found a passion and learned a new skill that could impact the world right now. It’s certainly possible for everyone, but for Aidan, he makes that a reality. I can undoubtedly say he will achieve great things because he has the persever-ance and desire to learn.”

What’s Next: Aidan hopes to attend Georgia Tech

and major in computer engineering with a minor in aerospace engineering. He as-pires to then earn an MBA and create and manage a computer company.

Police keep investigating, even when the trail grows coldBY ELLEN ELDRIDGE

[email protected]

Eight years ago, a 12-year-old boy walking along Apple-gate Lane in Sandy Springs found the body of a baby boy in a gym bag left beside the road.

“It was established by the medical examiner that the baby was born, and then exposed to the elements, thus ending his life,” Sandy Springs police spokesman Sgt. Ronald Momon said recently.

Th at made the case a homi-cide. Still, there was little for investigators to go on, and the child was never identifi ed nor the circumstances of his death discovered. Now, the baby’s death is the only Sandy Springs homicide since the founding of the city’s police department that is classifi ed as a “cold case.” Th e case went “cold,” in that police had no leads to follow, almost as soon as it was reported.

“Th ere’s no black and white defi nition of what a ‘cold case’ is,” Dunwoody Detective Sgt. Patrick Krieg said.

Krieg said the way police ap-proach cold cases usually de-pends on the size of a depart-ment and the number of active cases its offi cers pursue. Th e At-lanta Police Department, for in-stance, has a cold case task force of fi ve detectives who regular-ly review case fi les as far back in time as the 1970s, Capt. Mi-chael O’Connor said. But Sandy Springs, Brookhaven and Dun-woody have no full-time detec-tives assigned only to cold cases, offi cials said.

Brookhaven’s Maj. Bran-don Gurley said detectives go through old case fi les that are in storage to see if a lead exists that could move an unsolved case forward.

“We are at a point where we haven’t assigned detectives to cold cases because we don’t have anything that’s been inactive for more than a year or a year and a half,” Gurley said. “We haven’t grown to that point.”

DeKalb homicide detectives work in teams to review old cas-

es routinely, DeKalb Police Sgt. Bryan Danner said.

Atlanta started its task force a few years ago, O’Connor said, after realizing that cas-es can be solved from new information.“We start with cas-es where we think the suspect is alive and can be charged,” O’Connor said.

Part of the reason the SSPD cold case is being reopened af-ter eight years is because DNA crime-solving technology has advanced since 2007, Capt. John Mullin, of Sandy Springs, said.

“Th e decision to reopen the newborn baby homicide case was an easy one as it is the only unsolved murder in San-dy Springs since the SSPD took over,” Mullin said.

Kreig said whether to reopen a case depends on “the severity of the crime and solvability fac-tors.” Krieg said he will reassign the case to another detective to review—but only if the lead de-tective on the case agrees.Th ey usually do.

“Th ey appreciate another set of eyes,” Krieg said.

Police seek help on local ‘cold’ casesSome “cold” cases haunt detectives. In others, victims of

violence want closure, no matter how long it takes. Th at’s why every police department develops a procedure for evaluating inactive or “cold” case fi les.

Here are several open cases that local police departments continue to investigate months or years after the crimes occurred.

Brookhaven: Police report no unsolved homicides, but detectives are seeking leads on fi ve unsolved rapes from 2014.

Buckhead: On Nov. 21, 1987, Margret Ragland of Alabama was found stabbed to death at the Terrace Garden Inn, 3405 Lenox Road. She was in town for a wedding and sharing a room with her mother. Her mother went shopping at 2:45 p.m. while Margret took a nap, and returned at 4:40 p.m. to fi nd her daughter had been murdered.

Dunwoody: Police have three unsolved homicides, all from 2010. One involves an incident in which a husband and wife died in a fi re at their home. Th e third involves a man shot and killed at an apartment complex on Winters Chapel Road.

Sandy Springs: Police recently reopened the city’s only unsolved homicide, which involves a newborn baby left to die in a gym bag in 2007.
