Plans for expansions of PATH400 through Buckhead now feature two more small parks, adding pockets of public green space to an area that once had relatively little.
The two parks to-tal about 3 acres. They join a .6-acre park on Old Ivy that also is in-cluded in PATH400 plans.

Plans are well underway for what could make for the largest funding expan-sion in the history of MARTA.
On the last day of the legislative ses-sion in March, the Georgia General As-sembly approved legislation to allow a re-tail sales and use tax by the city of Atlanta. On April 26, Gov. Nathan Deal signed legis-lation paving the way for voters to decide on a half-percent sales tax increase as ear-ly as this November.

Buckhead CID votes to move forward on park planBY JOE [email protected]
The Buckhead Com-munity Improvement Dis-trict is moving ahead with a plan that could lead to construction of a new park above Ga. 400 near the Buckhead MARTA station.
With a 5-2 vote, the CID board on April 15 approved spending up to $250,000 on the first phase of a study of the park proposal. Two later phases of the study could bring the total cost to $875,000, CID officials said.
Members of the board of the CID, which taxes busi-nesses in a defined area of Buckhead to raise mon-ey for transportation im-provements, have proposed the park as a way to im-prove connectivity and the quality of life in the area.
But the proposal has divided board members. While some argue a park in the area would be a com-munity asset, others say it could cost tens of millions of dollars and that the CID should concentrate its money on improving Buckhead traffic. With all of the devel-opment going on in the area, our focus should be on traffic infrastructure, said board member Robin Suggs.
Some board members also questioned whether the process of developing the park had been public enough.
This is supposed to be for the benefit of the public, board member and Atlanta City Councilman Howard Shook told other board members before voting against appropri-ating the money. But we havent heard from, or apparently been interested in hearing from, the public. Im obligated to listen to the public. Until I do that, Im not going to be on the bandwagon.
But board member Herbert Ames said he was impressed by the groups of engineers and other professionals that put together proposals to win the bid for the study. Bring-ing together the prospect for what this park could be was a very exciting experience, Ames said.

CID APPROVES EXPANSION BY ADDING WEST VILLAGE BUSINESSES
The Buckhead Community Improvement District plans to expand by adding a group of businesses in the area of Buckhead known as the West Village.
The BCID board voted unanimously April 15 to approve the expansion into the area west of Roswell Road.
What were trying to do is get a way to spend our money there, BCID Executive Di-rector Jim Durrett said. That way we can knit the area together.
The list of properties to be added to the CID must be reviewed by the Fulton Coun-ty Tax Commissioner and then approved by the Atlanta City Council, BCID Director of Programs Tony Peters said. Properties to be added generally are in an area that includes portions of Irby Avenue, Cains Hill Place and Paces Ferry Place, Peters said.
A CID is composed of businesses that tax themselves, usually to pay for road im-provements in their area. The 16-year-old Buckhead CID has expanded once before, in 2005, when it added areas of the Buckhead Village south of Peachtree Road, north of Pharr Road and west of Piedmont Road, Durrett said.
The Buckhead CID now collects about $5.8 million a year, Durrett said. The new properties being added to the district will add about another $75,000 a year, Peters told the board.

Expert calls PATH400 a wonderful opportunityBY JOHN [email protected]
A North Carolina expert on trails is praising Buckheads efforts to connect with urban pathways.
Chuck Flink, president of North Car-olina-based consulting firm Greenways, Inc., who has worked on hun-dreds of trail plans across the country, re-cently praised the PATH400 multi-use trail, which has a planned exten-sion into San-dy Springs, and the Buckhead Collection master plan for interconnect-ed parks and trails.
The PATH400 is a wonderful oppor-tunity for this community, Flink said at the Sandy Springs Conservancys an-nual Thought Leaders dinner April 13 at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North hotel, adding that the Atlanta BeltLine park/trail system it connects to is the most amazing public works project in the U.S. today.
Sandy Springs has the right foun-dation in place to build urban trails connecting its scattered parks, Flink told the crowd. He called for a Sandy Springs greenprint the parks ver-sion of a blueprint to shape a green future.
I traveled down Roswell Road to-day and I understand the angst, Flink said. But, he added, The quality of the parks you have in this community is re-ally, really highThis is a great legacy to build on.
Flink who sported a green tie and a green, bicycle-shaped lapel pin is an advocate of greenways, meaning any type of park-style trail whether paved or unpaved, or following a natu-ral feature like a river or a human-made one like an old railroad bed. In the late 1990s, he worked in metro Atlanta on some of the earliest trail plans, includ-ing the Chattahoochee River master plan and Cobb Countys section of the Silver Comet Trail.
The nationwide trail trend is driv-en by demographic changes, Flink said. The millennial generation wants less car-only transportation, he said, and
the rapid pace of development in the Souths population boom can create feelings of dislocation.
Im not surprised to be in San-dy Springs having this conversationabout a sense of place, Flink said of the quickly changing city in the heart of the
nations fastest-growing mega-region.
In fact, Flink said, he some-times leaves de-tails up to cit-ies that hire him. Instead, he teaches them to develop a vo-cabulary for talking about green spaces terms like gre-enways, for ex-ample and a toolbox of var-ious tactics that could be used to create them.
(That includes dealing with not in my backyard resistance, he said.) Also im-portant is having an overall vision, he said, asking whether Sandy Springs sees itself as another edge city or as a place of natural resources, thriving businesses and vibrant neighborhoods.
Flink did offer some specific exam-ples of greenway and park projects he has worked on that might apply to San-dy Springs. In Charleston County, S.C., he took the hands-off toolbox ap-proach; 10 years later, he said, the coun-ty has conserved more than 20,000 acres of greenspace in 130 separate projects.
In Raleigh, N.C., he helped create an ecological framework for the city, which is coping with fast, massive pop-ulation growth. A key reference point was a slogan that turns typical urban planning on its head: a city within a park.
Another example is Greenville, S.C., where the city replaced a down-town highway bridge with a pedestri-an bridge and helped to spark creation of the Swamp Rabbit Trail, whose un-usual name became a selling point, he said. (The name sparked some audience chatter about the possibilities of Sandy Springs turtle mascot.)
Everybody thought it was crazy, Flink said of the bridge replacement plan, but it spurred Greenville to be-come one of the best small cities in the U.S. today because of a really bold move.

Benefiting Angels Among Us Pet Rescue
BY JOHN [email protected]
The Fortune 500 company Newell Brands this year made the shortest of cor-porate headquarters relocations, mov-ing about a third of a mile within Sandy Springs. But it was also a giant leap into the millennial generation, a switch from a self-contained suburban campus to a transit-oriented site where hang-out spac-es are more common than assigned desks.
This new headquarters has a more res-idential feel to it, said David Sheehan of the architecture firm Perkins + Will and who was on the Newell headquarters de-sign team. Generally, this is the way cor-porate America is going.
Major corporations are increasingly fleeing massive, remote compounds for glass-walled, urban buildings near public transit. A number of [corporations] are now saying, We did this whole suburban thing. Its done, said Mark Hinshaw, a principal at the Seattle architecture firm Walker Macy who has written about cor-porate headquarter moves.
A major national example is General Electrics recently announced move from suburban Connecticut to inner-city Bos-ton. Its also a trend in the once subur-ban but increasingly urbanized Perime-ter Center. Mercedes-Benz USA is moving from New Jerseys office parks to a San-dy Springs site designed with cubicle-free collaborative workspaces and paired with a housing development. State Farms
new regional headquarters, going up in Dunwoody, will be directly connected to a MARTA station.
These changes to the classic corporate campus model are propelled by the same force behind the push for apartments, mixed-use development and walkability: the millennial generation market.
In my view, all of this is being driv-en by the millennials, said Hinshaw. Its their taste. Its their generation. What they want is what theyre getting.
They dont want private spaces. They dont want hierarchical things. They want it to be more democraticmore Bernie Sand-ers, he added with a laugh. They want to live in apartments, live in a neighborhood. And they also dont want to drive a car.
Its a reversal of the corporate campus trend, which also tracked housing pat-ternsat the time, white-collar workers fleeing cities for suburbs. One trend-set-ter was Connecticut General Life Insur-ance Companys 1957 move to a sprawling, college-like campus only accessible by car.
Hinshaw has written about the dramat-ic headquarters change at one Fortune 500 company, the timber giant Weyerhaeuser. In 1972, the company built a spectacular HQ with a greenery-covered terraced roof on a gigantic 400-acre campus in subur-ban Washington state. But this year, Wey-erhaeuser is moving to a modest-looking, glass-walled building in downtown Seat-tlewith only 50 parking spaces.
Hinshaw says that Weyerhaeusers move typifies the trend. Its mostly about millenni-
als, but also about being closer to academic centers, responding to todays more diverse workforce and moving away from fortress-like buildings to one reflecting new goals like environmental sustainability.
There was a good, long erawhere [corporations] wanted iconic, bold, strik-ing buildings set against the landscapethe counterpart to European royalty who wanted castles and piazzas, Hinshaw said. Today, he said, companies are more inclined to blend into the area and not be a literal targetI think thats also a delib-erate move to integrate their workforce with general society.
Newell Brandshome of many house-hold products, from Rubbermaid to Sharpiehad to react rapidly to these trends only 10 years after its last head-quarters redesign, said Sheehan, who worked on both projects.
It was previously located on secluded, leafy Glenlake Parkway in a building with each floor devoted to one of the companys major sub-brands. Now its on Peachtree-Dunwoody Road, Perimeter Centers main drag, with an open design inspired more by Starbucks than cubicles, and living
rooms rather than board rooms.In the previous headquarters, we had
designed a fitness center there [and] a full-service cafeteriaand that was all de-signed to keep people in the building and on campus, said Sheehan. In the new building, workers are expected to walk or take the nearby MARTA to local restau-rants and a gym, though the company still provides a shower and locker room.
Inside, desks havent vanished, but part of the workforce doesnt really have an assigned desk per se, Sheehan said. Spots considered workspaces include huddle rooms, lounges, a caf with a fireplace, and a terrace and roof deck for outdoor gatherings.
Of course, the millennial generation, too, will pass, and its stereotyped prefer-ences arent really suited for every worker or company, Sheehan and Hinshaw said. There are risks in being too trendy, Hin-shaw said, but the bigger risk right now lies in not giving the millennial workforce what it wants.
If they dont get it, theyre not going to work for [the company], he said.
New corporate headquarters reflect millennial generations demands

Major Pill Hill mixed-use project would replace residential streetBY JOHN [email protected]
A developer plans to buy an entire street of homes bordering Pill Hill to build a major mixed-use project fronting on the Glenridge Connector.
All owners along western Clement-stone Drivea cul-de-sac of eight single-family homes off Peachtree-Dunwoody Road in Sandy Springshave agreed to sell to developer Richmond Honan, said Joe Cannon, a real estate broker with KW Commercial Atlanta Perimeter.
Yes, the entire street, said Cannon of the Clementstone plan, which cov-ers roughly 13 acres and would build a new road onto the Connector at the ex-isting Meridian Mark Drive intersection. Weve been working with [the home-owners] for monthsIts going to be a mixed-use deal.
Plans are in the very early stage, Can-non said. But the general idea involves retail space fronting on the Connector, along with senior housingindependent and assisted livingand possibly some doctors offices to serve it. The southern, rear section would have some extremely high-end luxury homes.
The plans are so preliminary that Can-non could not give specific unit counts or heights or even say whether the homes would be single family or townhomes. More details will be available by next month, when the developer will present the plan to the High Point Civic Associa-tion, a Sandy Springs community organi-zation, according to the broker and HPCA member Bill Gannon.
I think like everyone it feels it needs to be redeveloped, Cannon, the broker, said of Clementstone, but theres going to be a huge variety of opinions as to how it should be redeveloped and the density of the redevelopment.
A Richmond Honan representative could not offer immediate comment, but did confirm the companys involvement in a Clementstone Drive plan. Alpharet-ta-based Richmond Honan is a nationally known developer of medical offices and hospitals. It has built on Pill Hill before, including a Northside Hospital tower and the Meridian Mark Plaza medical build-ing across the Connector from the pro-posed Clementstone project.
Northside Hospital owns one of those Clementstone Drive houses, which it bought in 2014, according to property records. Cannon said that the hospital might occupy some of the medical office space in the proposed redevelopment,

A new Sandy Springs business called My Pooch Face is working like a dog, pro-ducing custom portrait paintings of pets for hundreds of clients across the country.
We got it down to an art, said Da-vid Lefkovitz, the local entrepreneur who launched the web-based pet portrait busi-ness 10 months ago. Since then, the compa-ny has shipped more than 900 pawtraits to customers around the country.
Despite the name, the company paints virtually any furry pet, from cats to pigs to, in one recent case, a zebra. The acrylic paintings on canvasin natural tones or with touches of psychedelic col-orare done by a team of artists whose work is supervised and finished by Aziz Kadmiri, a Woodstock painter whose clients include the pop star Usher.
Seeing a painting Kadmiri had made
of a dog inspired Lefkovitz to create the companybut not because he wanted a canine portrait of his own. As it happens, Lefkovitz has no furry petsand for a good reason.
Were hyperallergenic. We have fish and turtles, Lefkovitz said. I was the only one who didnt have a pet [dog or cat] go-ing into this.
But he did see the response to Kad-miris dog painting, which the artist had posted on Facebook, and he sensed oppor-tunity. Lefkovitz is best known in business circles as co-founder of his family real es-tate company, LEFKO Group, but he also has a background in software and oper-ates a small company called Niche Digital Brands. He saw that custom pet portraits would have a big market and could be eas-ily publicized on social media.
The result has been strong sales with a soft launchthe full My Pooch Face web-site just went live two months ago. The company joined the likes of Coca-Cola in winning one of this years MAX Awards, an honor for marketing skills given by Georgia State Universitys business school and the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
My Pooch Face came from a business calculation, but Lefkovitz said hes struck by the warm and fuzzy side.
This is the first business Ive been in where Ive seen this level of intensity and love for the product, he said.
People variously buy the portraits, he said, as celebrations of current pets, as gifts for others, and as memorials when their furbaby has passed.
I can probably tell you the life story of clients weve had over the last 10 months, said Lena Kotler, My Pooch Faces head of market-ing and operations, who works to es-tablish ongoing cus-tomer relations. It wasnt just this dry, unemotional pur-chase.
The business mixes custom por-traits with a menu of options. Kadmi-ri and crew base
the animal portrait strictly on a pho-to and customer interview. Customers can choose three general styles: grano-la dog, meaning natural colors or hap-py puppy and hippy pooch, which have varying degrees of bright colors mixed in as highlights.
Current prices range from around $300 to more than $1,500, depending on the paintings size and number of animals. The company aims to launch lower-cost digital portraits soon, Lefko-vitz said.
Other products may follow, Lefkov-itz said, as he deliberately chose the My Pooch Face name as a catchy term that doesnt explicitly limit the company to paintings.

Northside spokesperson Katherine Watson did not have immediate com-ment about the Richmond Honan plan. Northside owns a large vacant property at Meridian Mark Drive and the Connec-tor, opposite the Meridian Mark Plaza. Watson recently said that the hospital has no plans for that property at this time.
Cannon said the Clementstone project should have no impact on local school capacity. He said it would aid traffic by making the main access via the new road proposed to intersect with the Glenridge
Connector, while either entirely shutting Clementstone or turning it into a limited-use driveway.
The luxury housing component, he said, is intended as a nice transition from the residential West Kingston Drive area to the south and the proposed, dens-er use along the Connector.
The Clementstone plan comes as part of a major Pill Hill construction boom. A new Ronald McDonald House recent-ly opened on Peachtree-Dunwoody be-tween the Glenridge Connector and Cle-mentstone. The HPCAs Gannon noted that with that project done, now it is time for the next domino to fall along Clementstone.

OPINION / Monumental memories
SheffieldHaleSheffield Hale is
president and CEO of the Atlanta History Center
Confederate monuments and me-morials have stirred discussion in the South for decades. Debate over keeping or removing them, however, intensified after the Charleston tragedy in June 2015, bringing renewed attention to ex-isting Confederate iconography. Across the South, from New Orleans to Balti-more, Americans have since attempt-ed to find solutions to addressing these legacies of the Civil War in public life.
At the Atlanta History Center, we believe that these monuments can be valuable educational tools; in partic-ular, as tangible signs of the Jim Crow era. Our suggestion is that communi-ties consider converting them into his-torical artifacts by providing adjacent interpretive signage and even educa-tional programming to tell the history of those who erected these monuments and why. Most impor-tantly, to tell the sto-ries of the people they were intended to di-minish.
Even with such efforts, debate over Confederate monu-ments has persisted and will continue into the future. But this is exactly why the mon-uments are so impor-tant to keep, provided we talk about the real reasons they were put there in the first place.
Following the Civ-il War, between 1870 and 1890, many mon-uments were built and placed in cem-eteries, mourning Confederate dead. These earlier monu-ments were usually obelisks, adorned with funeral drapes. The majority of monuments found in the South to-day, though, are of a different time and character - originally built between 1890 and 1920. These monuments were placed in public locations in town squares, courthouse lawns and colleg-es. They are often more elaborate, de-picting soldiers or Confederate leaders. These latter monuments were products of an era defined by Jim Crow, which re-inforced and affirmed a white suprem-acy worldview through veneration of the Lost Cause.
As is true with all monuments, Con-federate ones are meant to promote and sustain a memory. When we dis-cuss memory of the Civil War in the South, we can talk about the staggering percentage of white Southerners killed
defending the Confederacy, but we can-not defend historically inaccurate rea-sons for the wars cause. We must also talk about how defeat of the Confedera-cy, which fought to preserve slavery, led to 42 percent of the Souths entire pop-ulation, four million black Southern-ers, being freed from bondage.
History is not something we use just to make ourselves feel better. If that were the case, we would be talking about heritage which I define as his-tory without all the unpleasant parts. Heritage is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be obstructive when it causes us to ignore the more complex reali-ties of history. History makes us take the next step: It asks us to question and consider the past and its issues deeply good, bad and in between.
Monuments are constant reminders that we need to ad-dress our collective history together and openly. The past is al-ways more complicat-ed than it seems.
As a commit-ted grassroots pres-
ervationist, I believe the removal of his-torical objects from the land-scape almost always serves to diminish us and our collective story. I think its much better to keep these monuments. But, if we keep them, we cannot maintain the status quo. We must transform them from objects of veneration into historical artifacts that can tell the story of why so many of them were erected: as a vehicle to cel-ebrate the Confederacy during the time of Jim Crow segregation. Confederate monuments are among our last tangi-ble links to that disturbing era in Amer-ican history.
However, I believe the decision to
move, remove or retain is inher-ently local. Ulti-mately, how to approach mon-uments is a de-cision for local communities to make them-selves, based upon a full un-derstanding of the topic.
To help com-munities start the conversation and grasp the broader historical per-spective monuments can provide, the Atlanta History Center has developed an educational online resource. On our website, visitors will find the latest lit-erature and news, concerning issues surrounding Confederate monuments and national memory. Additionally, a key feature of the site is a Confederate Monument Interpretation Template, which offers contextual text that com-munities can incorporate on informa-tional signage that they design.
Earlier this month, in fact, 33 members of the Uni-versity of Mississip-pi history faculty proposed using text from the template for their most con-tentious monument on campus. After a previous attempt to contextualize the statue was met with criticism, the his-tory faculty pulled language from our model to link their monument to the legacy of the Civil War, the Lost Cause narrative and the Jim Crow era.
We encourage lo-cal communities to use these resourc-
es to develop their own solutions to ad-dressing monuments.
Today, we are presented with an op-portunity to openly discuss the under-lying issues that have often divided us and continue to divide us. Rather than censoring the past, lets encourage an understanding of its complexity.
Let us look at these monuments from a different perspective as arti-facts that can help explain a difficult period in history. The past has much to teach us about who we are and where we are if we let it.

To the editor:
Joe Earle recently wrote a col-umn about a Yankee transplant named Bill Browning who has joined a Sons of Union Veterans heritage group. [These Sons hon-or the Union, Reporter Newspa-pers, April 15-28.] I took offense at a transplant moving to the South and joining a Union heritage group given what Union forces did to the South.
Remember, American histo-ry books are written by the victo-rious North. Thus, Americans get a distorted view of the Civil War, which should more accurately be called the War of Northern Aggression. The bot-tom line is the Southern states freely joined the Union and wanted to exercise their free will and freely leave the Union, and there was nothing in the Constitution that pre-vented the South from leaving. Southern secession was no more treason than the 13 American colonies seceding from Britain.
Despite the fact that the South nev-er threatened the North, Lincoln sent sav-age Union troops to utterly and complete-ly destroy the South. This was followed by waves of Yankee carpetbaggers who ex-
ploited the devastated South. The Souths devastation was so complete it gave rise to the Klu Klux Klan in the same way that a devastated Germany gave rise to the Nazis.
This set the South back at least a centu-ry. The Souths wanton destruction by the North is the greatest American evil, sur-passing the evil of slavery and the abuse of the Native Americans. The Civil War was fought by the North, not to free the slaves, but to forcibly keep the South in the Union. This was Americas greatest act of imperial-ism.

Largest expansion in MARTAs history now rests with voterscalls the new law, SB 369, the most signifi-cant piece of legislation for MARTA since the original MARTA Act more than 40 years ago. Through revenue from the po-tential tax that would last through 2057, we expect to raise approximately $2.5 to $3 billion, for expanding metro Atlantas public transit system, Ashe said.
Expansion means increased mobility around the city, said Ashe. A more ro-bust system aids in workforce develop-ment because employers will have access to potential employees who rely on pub-lic transportation from across the region and not only those job seekers who are situated nearby. Studies show that for every dollar invested in transit, we gen-erate about $4 in economic development across the metro area.
With more transportation options, and as the town becomes more densely populated, an expansion could provide relief from traffic congestion, while help-ing residents enjoy their lives without spending as much, or any, time in their cars, Ashe said.
On May 31, MARTA staff members plan to present a proposed project list of new rapid transit projects to the Atlan-
ta City Council. These include projects within or serving the geographical area of the city, and may be funded in whole or part by an additional tax.
Over the summer, MARTA and the city have to come to an agreement about what the final project list will include. There will be several community meet-ings to get public input to make this pro-cess as transparent as possible, Ashe said. For any potential expansion out-side of the city limits, Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton counties may still consider their own referendum options during future legislative sessions, he added.
The deadline for the city to adopt a resolution authorizing a referendum, Ashe said, is June 30, and by the end of July MARTA will submit the final list.
We need the Atlanta City Council to decide to put this measure on the ballot for the November 2016 election, and then we need the voters to affirm this legisla-tion on Nov. 8, Election Day, Ashe said.
Atlanta residents now pay a 1 percent MARTA sales tax. The increase would push the sales tax rate to 8.5 percent.
This bill allows us to go to voters for approval for what will be the largest ex-pansion of MARTA in the systems his-tory, said Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed in a statement. Atlantas residents want transit solutions that offer access to full economic and social participation in the life of our city. By focusing on expand-ing the MARTA system through light rail along the Atlanta BeltLine and in oth-er parts of our city, we will address last-mile connectivity, making this a transit system that works for everyone, for ev-ery day, Reed said. Atlanta stands alone among major cities in our region with our heavy rail infrastructure. By add-ing light rail, we will build a system that will sustain our citys growth for decades to come. I believe the passage of this bill will mark a turning point for our city a point where we chose to take control of our future.

PATH400 plans to add new parkscombines an old family cemetery with a former school site no longer needed by the Atlanta Public Schools, said De-nise Starling, executive director of Liv-able Buckhead, which is coordinating work on the PATH400 multi-use trail and park network. The school system has agreed to sell the remnant proper-ty to the city for use as a park, Starling told directors of the Buckhead Commu-nity Improvement District during their April 15 meeting.
The other small park, on the south end of PATH400, will connect with a portion of Peachtree Creek in an area where several planned paths are ex-pected to come together in the future.
All the time we have been design-ing PATH400 one of the big issues is we didnt have water [alongside the path], Starling said. All trails you [remember] have some water. It became a running joke: I just want a creek!
Now they have one, she said, in an area where several cross-city trails may meet. Its the gateway to the BeltLine for us, she said, and its water. Weve got to celebrate that.
In the future, the area could serve as an entryway to Buckhead, she said. This is where you start Buckhead, she said. This is where you start PATH400.
The 1.5-acre former school site al-lows us to get the trail through and de-velop a park for the community, Star-ling said. Combined with the 1-acre Lowrey Stevens Cemetery, it makes a nice linear park, she said.
When completed, the $27 million PATH400 will run 5.2 miles, most-ly alongside Ga. 400, and will connect Buckhead with the Atlanta BeltLine and with trails in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody. State transportation of-ficials have agreed to build a portion of the multi-use trail as part of the re-construction of the Ga. 400/I-285 inter-change.
The PATH400 project grew from an effort to create more green space in
Buckhead after a city survey found At-lanta had too little parkland per capita and the District 7 area of Buckhead had the least per capita in the city.
A recent construction update issued by Livable Buckhead highlighted sever-al trail projects to be completed soon.
On the portion of the trail between Old Ivy and Wieuca roads, construction is on track to be completed by Septem-
ber. A 14-foot-tall, 800-foot long block wall installed along the trail will fea-ture a stone-look finish and five pan-els for art installations, Livable Buck-head said.
Also, crews soon will start working on the section between Sidney Marcus and Miami Circle.

It looks a bit like a game cobbled togeth-er during a slow weekend at a vacation house after the host couldnt track down all the pieces required for any single sport.
Players swing paddles that look like they came from an oversized Ping-Pong game. They hit a hollow plastic ball thats full of holes. The ball bounces back and forth over a net similar to one on a ten-nis court. The game moves quickly. Some regular players of the sport called pickle-ball say it can feel like playing table tennis while standing on the table.
Still, its catching on. Just ask Ed Feld-stein, a 77-year-old Sandy Springs retiree who says he helped bring the game to the Marcus Jewish Community Center of At-
lanta in Dunwoody a half-dozen or so years ago and now plays about four days a week.
Its fun to watch. Its fun to play. Its fun to learn, Feldstein said one recent morning before he joined the crew get-ting a morning workout with a series of fast-paced pickleball games at the MJCCA, which calls pickleball its hottest sport.
Feldstein remembers days when hed get laughed at when he went into a sport-ing goods store and ask to buy a pickleball paddle. No more, he says, because pickle-ball courts are springing up across north metro Atlanta.
The city of Dunwoody has included a court in its newest city park, the Park at Pernoshal Court, which was scheduled to open April 29. That court joins more than 70 others set up across Georgia and more than 13,000 in the country, according to the

USA Pickleball Associa-tion, which is located in Surprise, Ariz.
Dunwoody Parks and Recreation Direc-tor Brent Walker said city officials decided to include the court in the new park after resi-dents asked for it during public meetings. Walker said hed never heard of the game before those meetings, but its fans were insistent. Theres a small but strong con-tingent of folks that like to play pickleball, he said.
Allan Bleich, a retired doctor, said he took up the sport after he stopped playing tennis because of knee trouble. Its just a fun way to exercise, he said.
Nora Floersheim, a 67-year-old retired school teacher and former ten-nis player, picked up pickleball a couple of years ago at the Mar-cus Center and now teaches it to newcomers. Like other pickle-ball fans, she said an important aspect of the game is camarade-rie among the players, who sit to-gether and chat while awaiting a turn on the court. Its very, very, very social, she said.
And the name? How did it get to be pickleball, anyway?
It goes back to the or-igin of the game itself. Pickleball was invent-ed near Seattle in 1965 by vacationing fami-lies who wanted to play badminton, but couldnt find the shuttlecock. So they combined pad-dles, a Wiffle ball and a badminton net to make a game that kids and adults alike could play.
The pickleball as-sociation says one sto-ry is that the origi-nal players named
their game cobbled from many parts af-ter the pickle boat in rowing competi-tions, which uses a crew made up of row-ers from different boats. Another version is that they named it for the family dog, Pickles.
Ed Feldstein, left, and Nora Floersheim get ready to volley
during a fast game of pickleball.
Pickleball players gather in Dunwoody for morning games at the Marcus Jewish
Community Center of Atlanta.

Wade KovalikNorth Atlanta High School, senior
Wade Kovalik wants to be an aerospace engineer. Or a pilot. Or maybe both.
My dream would be for an air-craft or rocket design that I worked on to get selected for government or pri-vate contract and to get put into produc-tion, Wade said. It would be an awe-some feeling to see something that I helped design actually fly through the air or in space.
Hes working on it. He builds drones in his free time. And hes had a intern-ship at the Georgia Tech Aerospace Sys-tems Design Laboratory.
At the same time, Wades academic performance landed him in the top 5 per-
cent of his class and he has received mul-tiple honors, including the STAR Student Award, which usually is given to the stu-dent with the highest SAT score in his or her class.
I have a solid work ethic. It just isnt in me to do things halfway, especially if its for something I genuinely care about, Wade said. I love to learn beyond what is taught in the classroom, or even about things that arent taught in school at alllike pretty much everything I know about aeronautics and space. Learning about new things is just something Im really passionate about.
Wades teachers see him as well-rounded, ambitious and hard-working.
While Wade was my Latin student he was the absolute light of my life, says Chris-tine Conklin, a teach-er at the Thomas Jef-ferson High School for Science & Technology in Alexandria, Va. His excellence and dedi-cation to the language was renowned, and certainly appreciated and respected by me.
Balancing a de-manding academic load with his activities in engineering, Wade also finds time to tu-tor his peers with Mu Alpha Theta. He also plays clarinet in North Atlantas Band.
Wade has an im-pressive resume and we are proud of his accomplishment in being North Atlanta High Schools Class of 2016 STAR Stu-dent, Senior Direc-tor Daryll Robinson said.
Whats Next?Wade aspires to
attend Georgia Tech next year with a ma-jor in Aerospace En-gineering.
