Q: I’m calling about the sculpture called “The Storyteller.” We were so excited when they put it up in Loudermilk park. We have been upset since it was moved and put into hiding. We want to be able to see that. When will it be re-installed?
—Vivian Knispel, Roswell
A: "The Storyteller" will not return to Buckhead's Charlie Loudermilk Park, but is to be installed at the Buckhead Branch of the Atlanta-Fulton County Public Library System by the end of this year.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved the move in July.
“The Storyteller,” which features the head of a buck on a man’s body sitting on part of a fallen tree and several smaller animals, was placed in storage before the park’s renovation.
Loudermilk Park, where Peachtree and Roswell roads meet, reopened in 2015 after a $2.5 million makeover that includes a new clock tower.
Q: Did President Barack Obama sign an executive order that would allow United Nations Peacekeepers on U.S. soil and give the U.N. the right to confiscate any and all arms owned by citizens?
—Fran Downey, Acworth
A: The Internet rumor from April 2016 stems from a video posted to websites in 2012.
“Most versions of this story use stock images of U.N. peacekeeping forces to suggest that a bloody disarmament was already underway, but the images were in no way related to any such initiative by the international body,” Snopes.com, a fact-checking website, wrote in April.
