PUBLISHER’S NOTE
On the Cover
Much has been written about the first Thanksgiving regarding
the brave band of people who landed in Plymouth to start
a new, better world for themselves, their families and for
future generations. Well, this month, like every edition, the
EAST COBBER features a brave band of people making a
better life for others right here in East Cobb, right now. In this
edition, you can read about the East Cobb Teachers of the
Year (page 6), leaders from different faiths coming together for
a special ecumenical celebration (page 8), and the “Friends”
group (page 12) —to name just a few East Cobb “pilgrims”.
We also share some photos from two special events held here
in East Cobb: the first annual Public Safety Celebration (page
54) and the Pope High School’s Foundation Fundraiser (page
62). All of these East Cobbers spotlighted are our modernday Pilgrims. Many, if
not most, have been
transplanted to this area
and are determined to
help build a better world
right here in East Cobb.
Sharing their stories is
my way to give thanks
for their earnest efforts
to better our East Cobb
community.
I hope you will consider

In honor of our annual Pet Guide
special section, we asked Joy Evilsizor,
Director of the Humane Society of Cobb
County and her number one volunteer
(and husband), Gail, to grace our front
cover. The Humane Society of Cobb
County (HSCC) is an independent, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) humane animal welfare
charity founded in 1957. They are a no-kill
shelter serving Cobb County and the surrounding area.
As the director of HSCC since 1998,
Joy has been promoting responsible
pet ownership, encouraging people to
choose their pets from shelters, recruiting
volunteers for assistance in shelter operations, and foster care. She works with
Cobb County Animal Control saving animals (cats, dogs, hamsters and the occasional bird, too) from being euthanized.
Joy is also busy partnering with veterinarians and local businesses for medical
services, funding, in-kind donations and
sponsorships.
Joy’s “better half”, Gail, can be seen
at local festivals manning their booth
to raise awareness about the Humane
Society’s programs, coordinating fundraisers for the nonprofit and helping “whenever needed . . . which is pretty much
everyday!” says Gail.
East Cobbers Joy and Gail have
lived in the Weatherstone subdivision
since 1990.

East Cobb Teachers of the Year Honored

The Teacher of the Year program is designed to spotlight those dedicated to educating and changing the
lives of our young people. Each year, one talented and special person is selected to be a school’s Teacher
of the Year. The Cobb County and Marietta City District Teachers of the Year placed their handprints in the
Teacher Walk of Honor on the Marietta Square October 2. A pep rally on October 29 kicked off the annual
Give Our Schools a Hand (GOSH) week at the Roswell Street Baptist Church. This is the 25th year that the Cobb
Chamber of Commerce has sponsored the GOSH special event. A salute to education in Cobb County, GOSH
week brought educators, students, parents, businesses and the community together to honor education. Here

9th Annual Ecumenical Thanksgiving Celebration
Brings Cobb County Faiths Together
Congregations of 8 Faiths Come Together at Temple Kol Emeth November 21
Cobb County’s community award-winning annual Ecumenical Thanksgiving Celebration returns to
Marietta’s Temple Kol Emeth for a ninth consecutive
year. A mix of inspiring words and music sprinkled with
humor, this event kicks off the Thanksgiving holiday season by giving people of all faiths the opportunity to come
together and understand better the ways in which we
are the same instead of focusing on our differences.
The Thanksgiving Ecumenical Celebration takes
place each year on the Thursday evening prior to
the Thanksgiving Holiday, which this year is Thursday,
November 21 at 7pm at Temple Kol Emeth, 1415 Old
Canton Road in Marietta/East Cobb County. Everyone
is welcome. The celebration includes a light dessert reception afterwards at which various clergy
will be available for informal conversation. For more
information everyone is invited to friend Thanksgiving
Ecumenical Service on Facebook.
This year’s service will be emceed by Rabbi Steve
Lebow and Imam Amjad Taufique with special insights
from Monsignor Patrick Bishop of Transfiguration Catholic
Church. Speakers and presenters on the celebration will
8 November 2013
represent Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Unitarian Universalism,
and three branches of Christianity.
“The Thanksgiving Ecumenical Celebration has
become an annual touchstone for people who would
rather understand and relate to their neighbors of different faiths, instead of having those people and their
faiths delivered to them by stereotypes and sound bites,”
according to Thanksgiving Ecumenical Celebration
committee chair Hal Schlenger. The Cobb County
Community Relations Council awarded the annual
Thanksgiving Ecumenical Celebration with their 2010
Creating Community Award, recognizing its positive
impact on the life of the county.
There is no charge for parking or attendance. There
will be a collection non-perishable food items for the
MUST Ministries and a collection plate will be passed
for Give A Gobble, an annual effort by the Women of
Reform Judaism that provides Thanksgiving turkeys for
needy families in Atlanta.
For more information about the service or covering
the event, contact Hal Schlenger, 770-335-077 or

how to make recipes using locally grown produce like

with the district’s foodservice managers for a personalized training session. Chef Mark discussed healthy

October marked National Farm to School Month,
National School Lunch Week and National Food Day. To
celebrate the food-focused month, the district’s Food
and Nutrition team, led by Cynthia Downs, executive
director of Cobb County School District’s Food & Nutrition
Services Department, hosted a “Dig Your Food,” event
last month at Tritt Elementary School. This special presentation featured Chef Mark Ainsworth of The Culinary
Institute of America’s Hyde Park campus and Adam
Brumberg of Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab.
Both Ainsworth and Brumberg are recognized for their
work in school food and lunchroom research.
Ainsworth and Brumberg worked with students at
Tritt Elementary providing an interactive demonstra-
Every day of the school week the district provides
more than 85,000 meals to students. Downs’ work was
honored earlier this year when two members of her team
were invited to participate in a first-ever event for leading school foodservice programs at The Culinary Institute
of America’s San Antonio campus.
“We want our students, our parents and our administrators to better understand what we are offering our
students today and the way that we’re developing our
menus,” said Downs. This fall marks the second year of
implementation for the new school meal rules and the
first year for the new breakfast meal rules. Many parents
and caregivers aren’t yet aware of how the new items
stack up for flavor and to nutrition, and how they compare to favorite bag lunch options. “We’re extremely
proud of the quality and selections of the foods we’re
providing, which include fresh, locally grown fruits and
vegetables, low fat dairy and whole grains,” continued
Downs. Ms. Downs leads a team of professionals that
provide meals to approximately 107,000 students each
day in 110 schools.

A Top Realty: Changing
the Face of Real Estate
When you encounter a deal that seems
too good to be authentic, the first question
that arises is: What’s the catch? East Cobb
resident and owner of Marietta-based A
Top Realty, Oleg Geydman, is introducing a
new, innovative way to buy a home,
complete with cash back to his clients at
closing. He actually gives his clients 35-60
percent of his commission from the home
sale. And there is no catch.
The Corner at Old Canton’s 4,000 square feet is filled with an
eclectic mix of vintage, antique, refinished and new furniture and
home interiors for the discriminating buyer who wants value and style!

Monday Closed • Tuesday–Saturday 10am-6pm • Sunday 12pm-6pm
In the real estate business since
2000, Oleg is a seasoned broker who has
discovered a niche in the metro Atlanta real
ss Oleg Geydman, estate market that is virtually untapped.
Owner, A Top Realty His business is a full-service real estate
agency that works as a buyer’s agent only.
His website, RebateForBuyers.com, allows potential buyers to search for homes,
as well as research local areas and schools. The client then previews selected
homes by driving by them to check out the neighborhood and amenities in
the area. Whittling the list of homes to selected ones in which he or she is
interested, the client then submits this information to Geydman. At this point,
Oleg becomes engaged in the process, making appointments to see the selected
homes. Once a house is chosen, he will negotiate with the selling agent/seller to
obtain the best deal possible for his clients. He also coordinates inspections, as
well as paperwork details and deadlines.
According to Oleg, he can offer this kind of savings through technology
use and client involvement. “Because of my efficient use of technology, I don’t
have the high costs of most brokers,” he explains. “Rather than an expensive
office, I meet my clients at a local coffee shop and pass those savings on. Also,
I ask my clients to preview homes from the outside first, as well as ask them to
get preapproved for a loan before I come on the scene. My clients do part of
the work and, therefore, receive a percentage of my commission at closing.”
For most home purchases, the seller’s agent and the buyer’s agent split a
6-7 percent commission. The rebate that Oleg gives his clients is a percentage
of his commission, which is typically 3 percent. For example, if the purchase
price is $1 million, A Top Realty’s commission is 3 percent, or $30,000. Oleg
gives his client 60 percent of his commission, which is $18,000, at the closing.
If the home price is $900,000 or less, the client receives a 50 percent rebate. If
the home is $350,000 or less, the client receives a 35 percent rebate. A Top
Realty’s commission for a $350,000 home sale would equal $10,500, with the
client receiving $3,675.
“My clients can use their rebates for anything -- closing costs, furniture for
the new home or a new car to park in the new garage,” says Oleg.
He points out that because he is a licensed broker, his clients receive
knowledgeable representation. The one major difference between the broker
license and the more common agent license is that a broker is authorized to
operate his or her own business while the agent must operate under a broker’s
supervision. Oleg goes on to say that this type of real estate rebate program is
completely legal according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
If you are thinking about purchasing a new home and need an experienced
real estate broker on your side, visit RebateForBuyers.com to find out more
information or contact Oleg Geydman by phone at (770) 441-4833or by email

East Cobb Friends Raise Funds for Children’s Healthcare
Have you heard of
Children’s Healthcare
of Atlanta? Or Scottish

Hughes Spalding hospitals that make up the
Children’s Healthcare
of Atlanta Foundation?
Chances are pretty
good that you have.
(There are also twenty
neighborhood locations, including Urgent
Care Centers and
Marcus Autism Center.)

all, Children’s is one of
the largest pediatric healthcare systems in the United
States, serving over 300,000 patients from all 159 counties in Georgia. Thousands of those patients are from
right here in Cobb County.
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is one of the few
hospitals in the U.S. to rank in the top twenty in each of
the 10 specialty areas for U.S. News and World Report’s
Best Children’s Hospitals issue. Last year it received
$52 million in generous donations from the community,
which helped it provide patients with high-quality care,
perform cutting-edge research and treat a wide range
of pediatric conditions.
So, you probably have heard of Children’s
Healthcare of Atlanta. But, have you heard of Friends?
Friends is the community volunteer organization at
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. There are more than
35 community Friends groups throughout the Atlanta
metro area. There is even a group called girlFriends,
which is designed for girls in 9th through 12th grades
who want to support Children’s.
Friends groups support Children’s through volunteer
opportunities, fundraising events and special service projects. Last year, the groups raised a total of $2.5 million
for Children’s! They also host birthday parties for hospitalized children, and coffee and donut breaks for family
members. The 2013-2014 fundraising goals of the Friends
groups include a simulation lab for nurse training, support
for Marcus Autism Center and the Strong4Life wellness
movement which aims to curb childhood obesity.
East Cobbers are very fortunate to have a Friends
group right in their own backyard: East Cobb Friends!
East Cobb Friends includes women of all ages from a variety of local neighborhoods. Over the years, the group
has participated in many service projects offered by the
hospital. As Friends member Susan Gerstel shares, “Having
had a child in the PICU at Scottish Rite for 21 days, I saw
day after day, total commitment, caring and support from
the nurses, doctors, specialists and staff at the Hospital. I
have found my involvement in Friends to be a personal
way to “give back” in some small way, to say “thank you”
for CHOA’s vital and much appreciated help.” East Cobb
Friends also host a number of fundraisers, including several
wine-tasting galas that attract huge crowds each year.
Perhaps you have attended one of the galas and placed
a bid on an item in the silent auction!
The group recently had a speaker at one of their
meetings who works in Neuro-psychology at Children’s.
The information she provided, particularly regarding
sports-related concussions, was considered invaluable
by her audience. Additional speakers are planned for
future meetings. On November 12, several members
of East Cobb Friends will be attending the Rockettes
Christmas Spectacular at the Cobb Energy Center to
benefit Children’s.
Members are motivated to participate in Friends by
the high-quality health care Children’s provides children
in the Atlanta community. If you are looking for a new
way to get involved and give back to your community,
consider joining East Cobb Friends. For more information on East Cobb Friends, contact Pat Iaffaldano,
Chairman; [email protected] or Shea
Waldron, Membership Chair; [email protected].

East Cobbers Present at National Tennis Congress
By Lisa Stone
among them The Serve, Return of Serve in Doubles, The
Forehand, Singles Strategy, and Doubles Strategy. Lisa
Jones led multiple sessions of Tapping the Power of Yoga
for Tennis: Recover, Restore, Rebalance, Renew to help
players rejuvenate at the end of their long days of playing and learning.
ss Joseph O’Dwyer and Lisa Jones
The nation’s first U.S. Tennis Congress, geared toward
adult recreational tennis players, was held last month in
Atlanta. USA Today dubbed the US Tennis Congress as
the place for “one-stop shopping for instruction” featuring “a who’s who of experts from six continents.”
The prestigious faculty included multiple Grand Slam
Champions, five former World #1 players, three of the
world’s 10 dual PTR/USPTA Master Pros, even a celebrity
chef- Carla Hall from ABC’s TV show, The Chew. Among
this well-credentialed group were East Cobb’s own
Joseph O’Dwyer, former professional player and current tennis coach at Olde Towne Athletic Club’s Ginepri
Performance Tennis Academy and Lisa Jones, owner
and instructor of East Cobb Yoga Sol, also based out
of Olde Towne Athletic Club. Joseph O’Dwyer taught
a variety of on-court sessions throughout the event,
14 November 2013
The sold-out event brought together 250 participants
who traveled to Atlanta from 32 U.S. states and several
foreign countries. The goal of the Tennis Congress was
to give passionate adult recreational players an unprecedented opportunity to learn from a world-class faculty
about all aspects of training necessary to advance to
the next level. For the first time, adult players were able
to access customized, cutting-edge education on all
aspects of training—technique, movement, strategy
and tactics, fitness, injury prevention, nutrition, and mental conditioning. The event featured 350 workshops,
seminars, and on-court classes taking place at both
the Dolce Atlanta-Peachtree Conference Center and
Peachtree City Tennis Center. “Think of it as a TED-style
conference meets tennis super-camp,” said USTC founder P.J. Simmons.

What do I do if
my dog or cat
bites someone?
You will be required
to make a decision
about the future of your
pet. Confinement is a
must under the Cobb
County Animal Control
Ordinance. This quarantine/confinement is
necessary for 10 days.
You can choose to
quarantine the animal
at your vet or the Cobb
County Animal Control
Shelter. If you do not
choose to keep the
animal because of the
bite, you can request
that the animal be put
to sleep and tested for
rabies. Either of these
options are not pleasant, but because of the
potential for a rabies
exposure and/or liability
on your part you must
make the decision that
is best for your situation.
Animal Control does
not normally adopt
out animals that have
bitten or scratched, but
every situation is considered individually.

13 years of experience and a self-contained salon on wheels, Harding
launched her new grooming business, Chase’n Tails, earlier this year.
She devotes her undivided attention to your pet, creating a positive,
nurturing experience free of the anxiety that’s associated with grooming shop visits. With a love of animals and a keen understanding of
their needs, it’s no surprise that many of her clients (the human owners) refer to her as the East Cobb Dog Whisperer.

Good Mews Animal Foundation
The creation of Chase’n Tails, which was named as homage to

Harding. Although she values her grooming shop training, she felt
that many times bottom-line economics took precedence over working
with the pets.

A non-profit organization that operates a no-kill, cage-free
shelter for homeless, abused, and abandoned cats.
“I didn’t like the ‘get them in and get them out’ philosophy of
the grooming shops,” explains Harding. “Sometimes pets need extra
love and hugs before the grooming begins, especially for behavioral issues or nervous emotions that come with being caged around
strange dogs. I never use muzzles or tranquilizers, and I believe that
patience, love and even a little playtime builds trust to make grooming a pleasant experience.”

Now her own boss, Harding is driving her brightly decorated van
around the streets of East Cobb and beyond. You can’t miss “Dude,”
the dog dressed in 1960s style that adorns her door with his Peace,
Love & Happy Paws. For your pet, Harding provides a safe, healthy
and stress-free environment for grooming. Between each stop, she
cleans and disinfects the grooming area until it sparkles. As the pet
owner, you save time in not having to pick up and deliver your pet to
a grooming shop. If you work during the day, that is not a problem.
Many of Harding’s clients give her access to their homes, and she
grooms the pets while the owners work.
Conveniently
Located!
Harding’s grooming basics include specialty shampoos and
conditioners customized to your pet, nail sanding, teeth brushing,
blueberry facial, anal glands expressed, ears cleaned and bows and
bandanas. Other customized services are available. Committed to
honing her skills, Harding stays current on the latest grooming techniques, including the new Japanese techniques, through classes that
she attends annually.

shelter established in Georgia, housing approximately 100
cats at any given time, with an additional 30+ cats living in foster homes. Since 1988, Good Mews has placed
more than 6,500 cats in permanent homes. The shelter
receives no government support, relying instead on
donations of time, service, supplies and money from supporters, the public and area businesses. Good Mews is

Registration Open for
Enrichment of Life Classes
Members of the Mountain View Elementary School
Foundation, its PTA and School Council recently formed
the “Rebuild Mountain View Campaign.” They are working together to bring awareness to the Cobb County
School Board and SPLOST committee as to why they

with ED SPLOST IV funds. According to supporters of
“Rebuild Mountain View” there are three serious building
issues: health, safety and transportation. These issues are
outlined below:
Registration opens for Enrichment of Life Movement
(ELM) Winter Session on November 15. Classes run
January 7 through February 25. The registration deadline is December 13, and is open to residents of Cobb
and surrounding counties. Based out of the First United
Methodist Church of Marietta, ELM is proud to celebrate
in 2014, its 30th year of serving senior adults. ELM is a
unique non-profit, nondenominational learning organization operated almost exclusively by Cobb County
volunteers. It offers a full day of classes, a catered lunch,
and scheduled lunchtime presentations for active adults
age 50 and older. An array of over sixty classes will be
offered on consecutive Tuesdays, from 9:30am to 3pm.
The Winter 2014 line-up includes: Acrylics, Genealogy,
Loom Knitting, Mah Jongg, and Sewing Secrets to name
just a few. Take a class with us and discover more about
you! The registration fee is $40 per session and students
may take up to three classes. A hot lunch is available for
$6.50, but brown baggers are always welcome.

GLE in September 2013 indicated poor air quality at
Mountain View. Readings indicate levels of carbon
dioxide in 17 locations are above OSHA & EPA
guidelines. The temperature and relative humidity
levels in eight hallways and two classrooms are above
published guidelines. There are four classrooms that
have been remediated for mold and two breezeways
that are infected with significantly greater mold
spore concentrations. Asthma related illnesses have
increased visits to the nurse over previous years.
Approximately 70% of the main building perimeter
interior walls have moisture readings above 30%.
• Safety- Students walk outside adjacent to delivery
trucks and garbage trucks to get to and from the annex,
kindergarten and main building via the breezeway. The
school’s breezeway leaks during rain showers and does
not have ventilation or HVAC system. Special needs
individuals find it difficult to navigate the uneven terrain.
Students are exposed to a stream of water in the third
grade hallway during periods of heavy rains. Significant
flooding blocks entrance/exit to main hallway.
Registration booklets are available at Cobb Senior
Centers and all Cobb County Libraries. Registration is
also available online at www.elmcobb.org. For more
information, call the ELM office, 770-429-7850, Ext. 7845
or email: [email protected]. First United Methodist
Church of Marietta is located at 56 Whitlock Avenue, in
Marietta 30064.
• Transportation- Mountain View Elementary School
includes three buildings and two breezeways arranged
in an unplanned, disorganized manner. Bus lanes intersect with entrance and exit lanes, car pool lines, and
parking lots creating traffic flow issues especially during drop-off & pick-up times. Back-up on Sandy Plains
Road in northbound lanes creates issues for emergency
vehicles and non-school traffic. This traffic backs up past
Fire House 14 for approximately 45 minutes every morning and afternoon.
A Town Hall Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday,
November 12, 7pm at Mountain View Elementary School,
3448 Sandy Plains Road, Marietta/East Cobb 30066.
JoAnn Birrell, District 3 Cobb County Commissioner, will
speak. David Banks, Cobb County School Board member
for Post 5 will also be available to answer questions.

DINING GUIDE
Recipe of the Month:
Caramelized Brussels Sprouts & Cauliflower
with Thai Herb Vinaigrette
Submitted by Doug Turbush, Executive Chef/Owner, Seed
Doug Turbush
Warm Thanksgiving memories are often made when plates piled high with rich, delicious dishes are
passed around the dinner table. Whether you stuff your stuffing with oysters or swap out turkey for
Cornish hens, everyone has their own recipes for making Thanksgiving Day special, including our local chefs. EAST COBBER presents a recipe from local Chef and Owner of Seed, Doug Turbush, for our
readers to try this Thanksgiving. “It is a Southeast Asian inspired flavor combination used on western
ingredients. What makes it unique is that the Brussels sprouts are steamed, but then fried along with
the cauliflower. They are both tossed with the basil, mint, cilantro and red onion and a sharp lime fish
sauce - it’s rice vinegar-based vinaigrette and that adds a lot of depth to two vegetables that some
find boring. We have converted many Brussels sprouts haters into lovers,” shares Chef Turbush.
Caramelized Brussels Sprouts &
Cauliflower with Thai Herb Vinaigrette
Serves 4-6
Thai Herb Vinaigrette
Cauliflower
1 head, cut into florets
Olive Oil
3 Tbsp
Salt
1 tsp
Pepper
¼ tsp
Brussels Sprouts
24 heads, cut into ¼’s,
outer leaves discarded
Vegetable Oil
3 oz
Red Onion
1 ea, sliced thin
Thai Basil
24 leaves
Combine all liquids and sugar to dissolve, add
Mint
24 leaves
garlic and chile. Pour vinaigrette over brussels
Cilantro
24 leaves
sprouts and cauliflower.
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 ea
Thai Chile, minced
(remove seeds if you would like - less spicy)
3 Tbsp
Sugar
½ Cup
Lime Juice
½ Cup
Rice Wine Vinegar
½ Cup
Fish Sauce
Preheat oven to 350. Roast the cauliflower - toss the cauliflower with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
Place on a baking sheet and roast at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Reserve
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the brussels sprouts and cook for 4 minutes.
Shock in ice water bath, then drain well and reserve.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan, add the brussels sprouts and color deep golden brown on one side, turn over and add
the cauliflower. Toss the sprouts and cauliflower with the red onion, thai basil, mint, cilantro and thai herb vinaigrette.

The Great American Smokeout: November 21
The American Cancer Society marks the Great
American Smokeout on the third Thursday of November
each year by encouraging smokers to use the date to
make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. By quitting — even for one day — smokers
will be taking an important step towards a healthier life –
one that can lead to reducing cancer risk.
Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable
cause of disease and premature death in the U.S., yet
about 43.8 million Americans still smoke cigarettes —
Nearly 1 in every 5 adults. As of 2010, there were also 13.2
million cigar smokers in the US, and 2.2 million who smoke
tobacco in pipes — other dangerous and addictive forms
of tobacco.
The Tobacco Quit Line provides free counseling, a
resource library, support and referral services for tobacco
users. It is available for all Georgia residents age 18 or
older and concerned parents of adolescents using tobacco. The Tobacco Quit Line is funded by the master tobacco settlement through the state’s Tobacco Use Prevention
Section in partnership with the Georgia Cancer Coalition.
It has no commercial bias and no products to promote. As
a caller, you will receive free, professional support that’s
tailored to your needs.
So stop smoking and start dialing: call the Tobacco
Quit Line at 1-877-270-STOP.
More than 10,000 people die in Georgia every year
from tobacco-related illnesses—that’s more than all the
deaths from alcohol, cocaine, heroin, AIDS, murder, suicide, auto accidents and fires combined. In spite of these
statistics, 24 percent of Georgia adults smoke. An estimated 30,000 Georgia children begin smoking every year and
another 10,000 begin to use spit tobacco.
More than 70 percent of the 50 million U.S. smokers
want to quit, but only 2.5% per year succeed in quitting
smoking permanently. The Tobacco Quit Line is a resource
to help Georgians quit using tobacco.

East Cobber Joins the Centenarian Club
Jim Amatulli could pass for
about 75, but he will join the
centenarian club this month. He
will celebrate his 100th birthday
on November 24 and he has
lived a full life.
Born in Brooklyn, New York,
Jim Amatulli was one of 8 children born to Italian immigrants.
His baby sister, now 93, is his
only remaining sibling. She lives
in Bethesda, Maryland.
Jim put himself through
Brooklyn Polytechnic College.
He designed “blackout” ventilators for merchant ships during World War II, and worked
as a sales engineer for Seaburg Elevators in New York
City for most of his adult life. In 1936 he met Rita and
they were married in 1942. Jim and his wife, Rita, raised
their four children; Donna, Vinnie, Marianne and Richard
in Pelham, New York.
ss Jim Amatulli
In 1982, he and his wife, Rita moved to East Cobb to
be closer to their children. Rita Amatulli, died in 2010 at
www.eastcobber.com
the age of 93. “She was without a doubt, the best thing
that ever came into my life,” he said. Jim says that he
never expected to outlive her.
Amatulli has 4 children, 10 grandchildren, 10 greatgrandchildren and a century of life to show for it. Amatulli
believes staying active is what has kept him around and
healthy for so long. He always participated in sports,
dancing and playing bridge. Jim currently lives on his own
in his East Cobb condo and works out at Cosmo Fitness
two times a week.
His family says his community involvement may also
have something to do with his longevity. His daughter,
Donna Conklin shares, “He and my mom started ballroom dance classes at St. Ann’s Catholic Church and
taught aerobics at the East Cobb Senior Center.” Jim
was also involved in the Sons of Italy.
Jim Amatulli has lived through many incredible world,
historical and sporting events during these last 100 years.
Growing up during the Great Depression, he learned to
value his faith and family. He developed a wonderful
work ethic, has great family values, and is proud to be
an American. Jim Amatulli is another example of the
Greatest Generation!

The Center for Children and Young Adults (CCYA)
Gears Up for the Holidays
By Andrea Brantley – Director of Special Events & Community Partnerships
Over the past several months, The Center for Children
& Young Adults (CCYA) has received considerable interest
and support from the East Cobb community. This desire to
help reminds me of when I first learned about The Center.
I was interviewing for a position at The Center and was surprised to find out there was an organization that helped
homeless children right in my own community. From the first
time I walked through the front door, I was instantly drawn to
The Center’s mission and knew I could make a difference.
Many of our Board Members are proud to call Cobb
County home; in fact, our Board President Maureen Lok is a
fellow East Cobber. Maureen stumbled upon CCYA in 2001
as she was finishing up her course with Master Gardeners of
Cobb County. She was helping to oversee The Leadership
Cobb Alumni Project, where they built a gazebo and planted trees and plants in our yard. Maureen fell in love with our
campus and saw the potential for a community garden,
which we still have today! She then began working with the
children at The Center, teaching them how to prepare the
ground and plant and harvest fresh vegetables which we
currently farm to table. In 2008, she joined the CCYA Board
of Directors and is now our current Board President.
The Center for Children & Young Adults has been
around for almost 30 years, and we could not serve our
youth aged 13-21 without the help of our community! Our
kids are homeless, but we give them so much more than
a roof over their head, a bed to sleep in, and three meals
a day. We are here to take them on their first bus ride to
Chattanooga for a field trip. We are here to take them to
football tryouts and hug them when they make the team
(or not). We are here to take them to the airport for their first
airplane ride to Oklahoma for boot camp. We are here to
see them perform in their school play and laugh extra hard
at the funny parts. And even beyond that, we are here to
keep in touch with them after they leave us to go to college
or join the military or move out into their own apartment.
I developed a close relationship with one particular
young man while he lived at The Center. When he graduated to living independently in his own apartment, we
kept in touch and to this day, we still do. Late one night,
he called me to ask if I could come and pick him up. He
had gotten off work late and missed the last bus for the
day. Unfortunately, I was working a fundraiser and was
unable to leave. I felt sick that I could not help him in that
very moment but together, we talked about his options.
He could not walk home because the distance was too far
so he would have to call a cab, even though it would be
expensive. I am not sure why he missed the bus, but I don’t
believe he ever missed it again. This was an important life
lesson for him, but at the same time, he had the comfort of
knowing he could call someone who cared. He was 21 at
the time, and he still needed advice and reassurance. As a
mother of a 16 year old son, I often get emotional thinking
58 November 2013
about these kids without parents and not having anyone
to call because they missed the bus. Some people tell me
they could not work at a children’s shelter because it would
be too sad but more often I get sad thinking about what it
would be like for these kids if The Center were not here.
We are continually looking for ways to improve the services we provide. We are very excited about our new Dog
Therapy Program being launched in January and already
have our first dog “Dallas” who has started her certified training. In addition, CCYA will be breaking ground in early 2014
for an Outdoor Recreation and Therapy Art Park, which would
not be possible without the Million Matters Grant we received
in October! We know the benefits of exercise, art therapy and
unconditional love from the dogs will benefit our kids.
If you would like to learn more about our mission to love
and support these children, we would welcome the opportunity to talk with you. If you feel ready to jump in and make
a difference, let us know! With the holidays fast approaching, we have a number of opportunities for you and your
family to get involved:
> Empty Nester’s Booster Club: Miss some parts of parenting
but not others? You can pick and choose what you want
to do – and the best part is that it’s not a full-time commitment! The first meeting will be Wednesday, November
13th at 6:30 pm on the CCYA campus. For more information, please contact Director of Volunteer & Activities
Kimberly Tinsley at 770-485- 1627 or [email protected].
> Midnight Santa Program: During the holiday break from
school, we are looking for volunteer groups and families to
surprise our kids each night with a late-night snack. Some
suggested items are doughnuts, cookies, popcorn, you
get the idea. We provide the Santa hats and you provide
the treat! Our kids had a blast last year waiting with anticipation each night wondering what yummy treat would be
delivered. This is a great way for families to come together
and spread some holiday spirit. Please note – although the
program is called Midnight Santa, we will take treat deliveries between 9:30 pm – 12 midnight.
> Santa’s Workshop: We are looking for volunteer groups to
work a shift in our Santa’s Workshop, where we sort and
wrap all the presents for our children. We have almost
40 teens so we need a lot of help with this task! Shifts
are 10am-12noon and 2-4pm beginning December 18th
through Dec 23rd.
> Sponsor a Child for Christmas: The kids at CCYA have
wishes for Christmas just like other kids. If you would like
to shop for one of our youth, we can help by providing
a personalized wish list. This is a great project for families,
groups and teambuilding with coworkers.
Please contact Director of Special Events & Community
Partnerships Andrea Brantley at 770-485-1639 or abrantley@
ccyakids.org for more information.

Gobble Jog Race Goes for World Record,
Benefits MUST Ministries
more than 11,000 runners and walkers pour into the historic Marietta Square on Thanksgiving morning for the
fun and excitement of a great event for a great cause.
The proceeds now exceed $425,000 and continue to
benefit MUST Ministries, one of Georgia’s recognized servant leaders.
“This year, we are adding something different and
exciting,” said Special Events Coordinator Cara Reeve.
“The Gobble Jog is one of a series of races being monitored by the Guinness Book of World Records that will
determine the largest number of participants in a multivenue event.” She explained that Thanksgiving races
all over the country have banded together to take the
world record currently held in Malaysia.
When a small group of volunteers planned the first
Gobble Jog in 2003, they had no idea how quickly the
event would grow into one of the best attended and
most beloved holiday festivities in the South. The 1,400
original runners helped raise $29,000 that year and the
Gobble Jog was literally “off and running” with a 10K, 5K,
1K and Tot Trot.
Over the next 10 years, the Gobble Jog became a
tradition for thousands of people who get together with
their friends and families to kick off their holiday. Today,
www.eastcobber.com
The event has become a wonderful, street party
atmosphere with costumes, “Gobble Dogs”, family
teams, corporate teams, church groups, firefighters
running in full gear and lively music, Reeve explained.
“Everyone loves kicking off the holiday season at MUST’s
event, seeing their friends and neighbors, getting in some
exercise and seeing the festivities.”
In addition, now there is a way to help MUST even
more. Participants are asked to establish a personal fund
raising page and help raise more money to help feed,
house, clothe and train the 34,000 clients a year who
come to MUST for help and hope.
