NEWSLETTER 333
In Memory of
Tami and Jess Willadsen
The City would like to dedicate this edition of the newsletter to the Willadsen Family in memory of Tami and Jess
Willadsen, who passed away tragically on Saturday, April 12, 2014. This devastating loss has had a deep impact on
our community and has created an outpouring of support for the families affected. The City deeply appreciates and
thanks the community, businesses and all others that have been generous and thoughtful in providing support to the family.
As a community, we know that this support will be needed and offered during the long road to recovery ahead. The City
offers our sincere condolences and support to Dave and Jack Willadsen and all those affected by this tragedy.
TAMARA KAY WILLADSEN
December 5, 1970 - April 12, 2014
Tami was born Tamara Kay Eifrid on December 5,
1970, and married the love of her life, Dave Willadsen,
in 1995. They grew their family to four with the births of
Jess in 2003 and Jack in 2008. Anyone who met Tami and Dave
could see how truly they loved each other, their children, and the
wonderful life they built together.
Tami loved her family deeply, lived her life joyfully,
enjoyed her many friendships with gusto, and thrived on her
devotion to the environment and her community. Her successful
career included over 15 years at the Nature Conservancy
fundraising for conservation projects in Georgia and around
the world. She was active in the cities of Avondale Estates and
Decatur and served on the boards of EarthShare of Georgia
and The Museum School. There is simply no way to sum up
the life of such a beautiful, vibrant woman as Tami. The void
left by her passing can never be filled.
JESS SEDA WILLADSEN
September 28, 2003 - April 12, 2014
Jess was born Jess Seda Willadsen on September 28, 2003.
She loved her brother Jack, and was everything for him that a big
sister should be. Jess attended The Museum School in Avondale
Estates, where she naturally excelled. She enjoyed learning to
play piano, was a voracious
reader, and loved squirrels. Last year, she
successfully petitioned Avondale Estates Mayor Ed
Rieker for a “Squirrel Crossing” caution sign, which
was proudly posted outside the Willadsen home on
Exeter Drive. Her potential was limitless, her loss in
unbearable, and she will be terribly missed. We all
carry Tami and Jess in our hearts forever.

Then, Now and Tomorrow
In pivotal year, hundreds attend Avondale Estates 2014 State of the City
“We have momentum,” Avondale Estates Mayor Ed Rieker told
State of the City residents and
guests March 24 at the historic
Towne Cinema.
The observation was hard to argue with: this year’s
standing-room-only audience of about 200 was the largest in
recent history for the celebratory annual event.
In his presentation, the Mayor included a map showing
development opportunities in more than half of the City’s 50acre downtown. Accordingly, Mayor Rieker said he expects
some large projects to come to Avondale Estates this year.
“We need to work together as a community,” he said. “If
we disagree, let’s disagree, but let’s move together so we can
get these things done together.”
Mayor Rieker’s presentation was rife with historic
photos and documents to complement his speech, themed
“Then, Now and Tomorrow.” He touched on the City’s origins, including founder George Willis’ elaborate vision and
marketing campaign for Avondale Estates 90 years ago, back
in 1924.
“He really, really had decided that this was going to be
the best City that anybody could imagine or dream of, and
he actually did something about it,” Mayor Rieker said. “He
hired engineers, he hired city planners. We are a City that has
a deep history of planning, and also a deep history of actually
doing.”
Some of the highlights from the past year, plus upcoming
plans for the future:
• The Rail Arts District Studio Cruise March 15. “Probably
5,000 to 6,000 people came. It was unbelievable,” Mayor
Rieker said. “We had people here who didn’t even know
where Avondale Estates was, and now they’ve been here.”
• The City brought fire marshal inspections and permitting
inspections in-house so business owners, for instance, can
get approval via City Hall instead of DeKalb County. Pallookaville co-owner Jim Stacy chimed in that this made a
“huge” difference in opening his new business last year.
• The City is now an opportunity zone, which provides a
tax credit to businesses that hire more than two employees.
• Wild Heaven Brewery on Maple Street is set to open soon
and will bring people into the City for tours, tastings and
events.
• At the end of December, the City bought four acres near
downtown for $1 million. Avondale Estates purchased the
property from a now-bankrupt development group that
paid $10.9 million for it back in 2007.
• DeKalb County’s Fire Station No. 3 in Avondale Estates
is being rebuilt and will open early next year.
• City associates are participating in weekly meetings to
meet requirements for Google Fiber. Avondale Estates
is one of nine metro-Atlanta cities that could get the
ultra-high-speed Internet service. Mayor Rieker told the
audience the City will soon be asking interested residents
to go to a site and sign-up for Google Fiber. “If you really
want it, let’s go after it,” he said. “This will really change
things for us.”
• The Mayor still wants the City to purchase the old Avondale High School property, which could mean space for
such amenities as a community garden, sports fields and a
dog park. “We’re going to press a little bit harder. I’m going to need you to press for me so that we can actually get
them to sit down at the table and talk about getting this
facility,” Mayor Rieker said. “It was paid for by public
funds, it needs to come to a municipality. It doesn’t need
to go into private hands.”
• Tudor Square, a new development just behind Tudor Village, will have a whiskey distillery and a coffee roaster.
Garage Door Studio, a local artists’ co-op, retail shop and
gallery, opens there in June.

Work Begins on the Avondale Estates Fire Station
DeKalb County Fire Rescue Department firefighters began moving items
out of the old Avondale Estates Fire Station No. 3 in early April and documented this permanent spring cleaning on Instagram. The station was built
in 1947 and is now outdated. Site erosion control and asbestos abatement has
commenced. Demolition began April 14 and a foundation for the new fire
station will be installed starting at the end of June. Roofing wraps up around
Halloween and the station is scheduled to open in February 2015. DeKalb
County awarded the $1.9 million contract, paid for mostly with federal money, to Lichty Commercial Construction in Newnan, Ga. The firefighters will
temporarily be working out of the old DeKalb County Police Headquarters on
Camp Circle. Avondale Estates comprises 20% of the station’s service area,
and the rest is unincorporated DeKalb.

City of Avondale Estates Announces Children’s Art
Contest Winners for Georgia Cities Week
Avondale Estates invited children ages 5-12 to create a piece of art that addressed the statement,
“How I See My City.” Young artists, for example, could depict their favorite Avondale Estates park,
shop or festival/celebration. City elected officials then selected first, second and third place winners
April 14, and those three artists received trophies, ribbons and $5 McDonald’s gift certificates. The
other young artists received certificates of participation, and all entries were displayed in the City
Hall lobby during Georgia Cities Week April 14-20. Entries were extremely colorful and creative,
and the decision was a tough one for representatives from the Board of Mayor and Commissioners!
Avondale Estates and cities across the state celebrated Georgia Cities Week, sponsored by the
Georgia Municipal Association, to showcase and celebrate cities and the many services they provide.
The theme of this year’s week, “People, Place, Purpose,” reflects the qualities that make cities the cultural, economic and social drivers
of our community.
Thanks to all of our terrific, talented art contest participants!

Avondale Estates Gearing Up for 4th of July Celebration
The Avondale Estates 4th of July Parade is one of the City’s proudest and most
enjoyable summer events, attracting hundreds of families and friends.
But it doesn’t happen without the effort and enthusiasm of many community members! Our 2014 Parade Committee Chair, new resident Ben Dostal, is getting started on
this year’s celebration. Here are ways you can be involved.
Volunteer! On the morning of July 4th, volunteers are needed to blow up balloons (with
the help of a helium tank), hand out items, coordinate traffic and line-up the participants.
Don’t worry, if you help out in the morning, there is still plenty of time to participate in
the parade or head home to watch it. Continental breakfast will be available for volunteers.
Donate! Each year the City relies on donations, t-shirt and yard sign sales to make this
a great event. If you would like to make a monetary donation, please make your check
payable to: City of Avondale Estates, with the notation “4th of July Parade” in the memo
section of the check. Information about t-shirts and yard signs will be coming soon.
Put your best “float” forward! All businesses, residents, streets and neighborhood
organizations/clubs are invited to get creative and build a float! We’ll be holding a float
decorating contest again this year. Get ready to float and gloat along Clarendon Avenue.
Don’t be afraid to add music – the louder, the better!
Jump in line! Decorate a bicycle, wagon, stroller, car, truck or yourself and hop in line!
Spectate! What’s a parade without spectators? Invite family and friends to come cheer
on your neighbors!
For more information, to volunteer or donate, please contact Karen Holmes at at 404294-5400 or kholmes@avondaleestates.org.

H Neighborhood Watch Program
Avondale Estates Neighborhood Watch
Program Stays Focused on Community
Neighborhood Watch Program Liasion Sherri Dickens welcomes suggestions, volunteers
Sherri Dickens first hosted a meeting at her Avondale Estates home back in 2008 to solicit block captains for a Neighborhood Watch Program,
according to Avondale Estates Police Chief Gary Broden. Six years later, that list of block captains is populated by 38 neighbors covering the gamut
of Avondale Estates streets. Mrs. Dickens was committed from the start, Chief Broden said. “She exemplifies a concerned and dedicated citizen.”
Now, Mrs. Dickens wants to emphasize her continued desire to improve the program. And efforts from community members such as her do
make a difference, Chief Broden said.
“You can never have too many eyes and ears,” he said. “It also gives citizens ownership...we all
have a part in it. To be effective, it takes everybody.”
A quick chat or email exchange with Mrs. Dickens reveals that her passion for the Neighborhood
Watch Program stems in part from her sincere love of family and community.
Below, we asked Mrs. Dickens to write a bit about her history here in Avondale Estates, and with
the Neighborhood Watch Program.
Dear Neighbors,
I married my husband, Bobby Dickens, in January 1997. Bobby was raised in Avondale Estates
and his family still resides here. I fell in love with this beautiful, charming City when he brought me
here for the first time to meet his mother in May 1990.
Bobby and I decided we would make Avondale Estates our home and raise our son, Chason,
now 12, in this community. We love Avondale Estates, first of all, because family and friends of
many years live here. We enjoy its heritage, streetscapes, trails, lake, fishing and wildlife, along with
the beautiful changes of each season and its convenient location in relation to Atlanta and the entire
metro area.
I am involved with the Avondale Estates Neighborhood Watch Program because my family’s
safety and the safety of all people who live here is important to me. This program is an intricate part
in helping our City progress forward.
Pictured: Sherri Dickens and her
son Chason.
In the fall of 2006, Corporal Philip Findley of the Avondale Estates Police Department approached me and Bobby with the City’s plan
to launch a Neighborhood Watch Program. This was exciting news. I had already been discussing a Neighborhood Watch Program with my
neighbors but didn’t know how to begin the process. Corporal Findley asked me to help launch the program and serve as the Neighborhood
Watch Liaison. Of course, I accepted and we began planning.
The Neighborhood Watch Program is important to me because plans for progress in the City of Avondale Estates must include safety.
Safety is critical for folks who are interested in making Avondale Estates their home. The Neighborhood Watch Program supports and encourages the partnership between police and community. This promotes unity and a sense of security for people living in the City. It is simply
neighbors looking out for neighbors.
We encourage established residents as well as new residents to get involved. You can serve in many ways. You don’t have to be a retiree
or a stay-at-home mom to be involved. We believe it is important to watch and listen as you walk your dog, ride your bicycle, run, walk, work
in your yard, or drive in and out of the neighborhood. We suggest everyone report all suspicious activity or persons to 911. Please welcome
new residents on your street. Introduce yourself to our police officers. We are so fortunate to have our own police force. Basically, just being
neighborly is what it’s all about.
The Avondale Estates Neighborhood Watch Program would like to express our sincere appreciation for your support. Please consider
how you can be involved. We welcome any concerns or suggestions. Our goal is to continue to improve our program.
If anyone would like more information please contact me at avondalenw@gmail.com or call me at 404-298-5381. Thank you for your
support!
Sincerely,
Sherri Dickens

Getting Crafty in
Avondale Estates
Showcasing a Rare Craftsman Bungalow Style
Home, Then and Now
Ten Kensington showcases
the Craftsman Bungalow
style, a back-to-nature
movement. The style has
its roots in California, and
became one of the most
popular designs in the
country from 1910-1930.
This particular home is described as architecturally
eclectic, in that it features
an English half-timbering
gable, combined with classical columns supporting a
wide porch. With an original 1920s selling price of
$11,250, the sign on its
column reads, “Open.”

The Museum School: Taking Innovation Nationwide
The Museum School of Avondale Estates is building the nation’s
first association of museum schools!
A recently awarded federal grant of $150,000 will allow for the creation of a nationwide Museum School Network, uniting more than 30
museum schools from at least 10 states, to identify best practices for
boosting student achievement at top-performing schools.
The network will share those best practices with educators and administrators at museum schools, other charter schools, magnet schools
and traditional schools across the nation as well as with community
groups interested in opening charter schools. The effort will culminate
with a national conference in Atlanta.
The vision of Katherine Kelbaugh, principal of The Museum School
of Avondale Estates, the project has potential to improve student engagement and achievement in a substantial way across Georgia and the country.
“We are honored to unite museum schools from around the country through the first-ever museum school network,”
Kelbaugh says. “The Museum School of Avondale Estates has had the opportunity to impact hundreds of students from our
community, and now we look forward to sharing best practices and innovative strategies nationwide.”

Wild Heaven is a Georgia company created by lifelong Georgians - founder

New truTV show filmed at Second Life Thrift Store
What: “The Carbonaro Effect” on truTV
Tune In: Premieres Thursday, May 15, at 10 p.m.
Michael Carbonaro is a magician by trade, but he’s a
trickster at heart. At the end of March, he brought his tricks
to Second Life Thrift Store in Avondale Estates. The show
filmed at Second Life from April 3-4. Tune in to catch the
antics, but here’s the gist: In each episode of “The Carbonaro
Effect,” the host performs baffling tricks on people in everyday situations, all caught on hidden camera. Posing as an
ordinary bartender or a seemingly unremarkable salesman,
Michael astonishes unknowing citizens by turning a tuft of hair into a puppy or pouring 12 pints of beer from an ordinary bottle.
Whether they are alone or with their friends, everyone is left stunned and delighted, even though they have no idea what just hit
them. Real people, no camera tricks, just “The Carbonaro Effect.”

News from City Hall Newsletter Disclaimer
Avondale Estates Men’s
Club Upcoming Speakers
Purpose
The City Newsletter was created for the purpose of
providing a written medium for regularly sharing
information from City Hall. It is a vehicle for the Board of
Mayor and Commissioners and the City Manager to share
information relevant to issues discussed, actions taken, and
plans made by the Board of Mayor and Commissioners,
to share newsworthy information about our residents and
businesses, and to provide a calendar of scheduled City
sponsored events.
All men are invited to attend the Avondale Estates Men’s
Club that meets the last Wednesday of each month, with the
exception of November and December. The club meets at
noon at the American Legion, Post 66, 30 Covington Road.
Each month interesting speakers present a program followed by lunch, which is prepared by the American Legion
staff at a cost of $10 (cash) per person. It is an informal
meeting where you can enjoy talking with others and making new acquaintances. There are no dues and no officers.

The Newsletter reserves the right to refuse unsolicited
submissions and to edit all copy in regard to space
appropriateness, and cost considerations. As a courtesy to
the clubs and organizations that civically operate in the City,
a brief notice of their activities may be included as space
permits.

Avondale Estates Garden Club
Enjoy the attractive wrought iron bench, pictured here, that
the Club installed near the terrace at the Community Clubhouse
as part of the ongoing beautification of the area. The Club is
grateful to Bob Boyd and Harry Vann, who installed the bench.
Bob Boyd and Henry Vann were recently inducted as Life
Members of the DeKalb Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc., in
recognition of their work with the Avondale Estates Garden
Club for many years, and their contribution to many of the City
events in which the Clubs have participated.
The Avondale Estates Garden Club welcomed spring into
our City with many enhancements, including participation in
the Arbor Day celebration with the planting of a memorial
tree, honoring AEGC club members or their spouses who had
passed away the past year. Each year the club donates $250 to
the City of Avondale Estates for the trees to be planted and cared for.
Our May 16 program will be given by our friend, neighbor and well known Landscape Architect, Steve Sanchez, on Using
Natives in the Landscape: The Health of our Urban Ecology Depends on It. Steve says, “We have chopped up and chewed up
the natural communities that existed before our cities and agriculture came to North America. The remnant ecosystems that
remain are disconnected and fragmented. If we are to save these last few special places, we have to look at our yards. Only by
increasing our use of native plants in our landscapes can we hope to preserve these last pockets of biodiversity. We will explore
the beauty and important functional uses of native plants in the landscape.” This will be an exciting presentation directly relevant to us because we live in a beautiful garden environment and we want to nourish and preserve it.
All are invited to attend, starting 11:30 a.m. at the Avondale Community Club. If you are not a member of the Club and are
planning on attending, please RSVP to Virginia Kinchen, luncheon Chairwoman, at 404-294-4553 or Ruth Osborne at 404-2991376 to reserve a place at the luncheon. Cost of the Luncheon is $4 for non-members.
Fairfield Plaza Landscape Project
Avon Garden Club, in cooperation with the City, has undertaken a project to revitalize and refurbish the landscaping on the iconic Fairfield Plaza in Avondale Estates.
The majestic magnolia trees remain the grand focus of the Plaza while struggling
shrubs have been replaced with drought tolerant, low maintenance plants. The grassy
areas will be refurbished to provide a welcome play area for family fun.
The Club solicited guidance and advice for the project from
Avondale resident and arborist, Steve Sanchez and Dee Merriam,
a community planner for the CDC. Experts from Trees Atlanta and
master gardeners from the Club also shared their ideas and suggestions.
City workers did a great job planting the larger shrubs while
Avon Garden Club members transported the new plants and planted the new daffodil display. Thanks are also in order for Fairfield
Plaza neighbors Lynn Boyd and Harry Vann for watering the new
plantings during dry spells.
