Alonza Whitaker to Run for Superior Court Judge The street committee got it right.

Current Chief Deputy Assistant District Attorney, Alonza Whitaker recently announced his candidacy for Superior Court Judge for the Six County Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit.

Frank Myers Is Already Recruiting According to the street committee School board member Shannon Smallman will not seek re-election.

The street committee has learned that Smallman, who was a Frank Meyers recruit, really didn’t want the position in the first place. The word is Meyers already has found an African American to take her place.

Let’s see who announces for the District 7 seat in the near future.

A VIEW FROM A PEW

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 25, 2016

Over the course of our lives we come in contact with hundreds of individuals. Our level of interaction with these individuals varies, however, every now and then, every once and a while, one of those individuals comes along who touches our lives in a special way.

As word made its way through the city on Friday, February 19th of the passing of James Johnson, Jr. It became abundantly clear that this was such a man.

On social media he was remembered for the love he had for his family, the music and his city.

No one called him James, he was known affectionately throughout the community as simply, “J.B”. As one of the founders and part of the original “Super Shop Boyz” he made a name for himself and his “crew” with his weekly Hip Hop radio show on FOXIE 105.

J.B. also had a reputation as being one of the best hosts at clubs and parties around the tri-city.

For me I loved his spirit. He

Another Brother, “Gone To Soon”

was a true entrepreneur.

Whether it was as a DJ, food truck vendor with “Love At First Bite” or as a promoter, bringing in top national recording artist through Super Shop Entertainment, “J.B.” was all about making a difference for the betterment of his community. It was because of that spirit in 2014 he, along with his business partner, OO Kee received one of our Community Service Awards.

That love for community was no more evident than at his last show featuring Anthony Hamilton. During the show he stopped to ask the community to assist the families who recently lost their homes due t o f i r e . S u s a n C o o p e r, Director/CEO of the Greater Columbus Urban League whose organization was spearheading the event spoke of his generosity.

“He didn’t have to do that, she said. When J.B. heard what we were doing he came to me and said he wanted to help. I had no idea he was going to take it upon himself to, in the middle of the show, pass baskets around to those in the

audience seeking their help.

Because of his selflessness we raised over $3000 that night which enabled 19 families to continue living in hotels until permanent housing was made available.”

My last conversation with J.B. was about two weeks ago. He called me to his office to pick up tickets to the Tyrese and Tank show. He was excited about the upcoming show but more importantly about being able to bring more acts that people wanted to “His City” as he called it. I asked him what about Prince? He just smiled and said, “Wane just wait, I got in the works, just wait”.

We then talked about our head strong, stubborn mothers who just wouldn’t listen to us when all we wanted to do was make life a little easier for them. I shared with him how my siblings and I had to insist that my mother stop living alone and move in with my sister.

He noted that he was happy because he had finally convinced his mother to be relocated to a place where she would be happy and still maintain her independence. One of

his last words to me was, “I got to take care of my mom”.

This past Sunday the DJ’s of FOXIE 105 came together in the studio to give him a fitting tribute as they provided “One

3

Last Ride” for their “Homie”.

We offer prayers to his wife Tashema, his family and to his business partners. We will miss you my friend. You have truly touched our lives in such a way.

Going Through The Motions

In the 1930s film “Inherit the Wind,” the actor Gene Kelly in the role of E.K Hornbeck delivered the line, “Mr. Brady, it is the duty of a newspaper to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” Among a few other things a newspaper should do, what was said in that line is exactly what all newspapers should being doing, even though the reality is many do not, or they do so with bias toward their friends, especially very influential friends. Perhaps the line should have been written to read that it is the job of every “good” newspaper to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Whenever a news reporter slants stories in an effort to help their political friends and favorites hoodwink the citizens, then we are all being sold out by that newspaper. Any loyalist news reporters and newspapers protecting the mayor in her wrong and poor decisions are disloyal to the readers.

Comforting the afflicted when wronged and afflicting the comfortable when they uphold the wrongdoers is very much the job of a dedicated community activist or civil rights activist. I have been an advocate for justice and equality, in one way or another, more years than a lot of people in this city

By Wane A. Hailes The Courier

Once you have a felony on your criminal record, it will follow you throughout your life whether you're trying to get a job, secure housing or even attend school. But there is an opportunity available that will restore your civil rights.

Georgia law only allows people who were charged but not convicted to apply for expungement. Felony records cannot be expunged in Georgia. However, convicted felons may apply for pardon. The pardon is an official document which notes that the state forgives the crime. Application for a pardon in Georgia includes an application for the restoration of civil rights which will allow convicted felons to run for public office and serve as notaries Applicant Eligibility As of 2011, to file for a pardon in Georgia, convicted felons must have completed all sentencing requirements within the past five years. Felons must have lived the past five years as law-abiding citizens and have paid all fees associated with their conviction. Fees

Opinion/Editorial

By Brother Love, Special To The Courier

have been alive. I can tell you in a matter of minutes if a person claiming to be a community/civil rights activist is actually a true blue down with the cause for the people activist. I want to make it crystal clear that a person is not a community activist because the mayor or any other political figure out to control leadership and politics in the African American community of Columbus says that you are.

Community and civil rights activists do publicly take on issues of crime, violence, and racial discrimination. They hold rallies and prayer vigils. They certainly organize marches and deliver wonderful speeches that motivate the masses. An activist does all of that, but there is much more to it than just that. What you have to understand about activists in this area is that there are self-serving activists that exploit legitimate issues. Those are the activists you do not trust. Then there are community and civil rights activists that are all in when it comes to the fight for the people and controversial fair and equal treatment issues.

Those are the ones the corrupt never want you to hear or know very much about in this city.

il rights activist if you are not boldly operating in truth and accurately delineate, meaning to define or identify, the facts. You sign up to fearlessly speak truth to power, and go to the mat for the people every time out. You must have moral courage and strong personal conviction to go out on the battlefield day and night to fight the good fight for Freedom, Justice, and Equality. Personally, I believe the community/civil rights must possess a strong love and total faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and you must love your neighbor as you love yourself.

You are simply not a true community or civ-

Do not confuse political activists with community/civil rights activists. Political activists and community/civil rights activists are not one in the same. Politics and government are where African American citizens get sold out and hurt the most in this city. You must beware. If an individual is just trying to make a name in local news or on some ego trip looking to break into politics for personal gain, if the individual is just another selfpromoting puppet for the status quo power structure, then that, my dear sisters and brothers, is not the kind of person we should not have anything to do with, let alone consider electing to a political office. That type of person is really about self and against the community, especially the Black community. Running for political office or being

associated with convictions differ for each individual case and are set following conviction. You may check with your county clerk to see if you have any outstanding fees. The Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles will review your history and deem whether or not your are "law-abiding" in their opinion. "Law-abiding" is an openended term used by the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles on page 2 of the official state application form.

Information Needed to Apply Before applying, be sure to gather all necessary information for the application. This includes your criminal history report, which you will need to reference when completing the application form. If you are seeking a pardon in order to be approved for adoption, Section VIII housing,custodial rights, the right to foster a child, admission to an educational institution, license to be a truck driver to Canada or admission to the Peace Officer Training and Standards Council, then include a copy of your application to these programs with your application for pardon.

The Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles states these regulations on page 2 of their application form. If you have spe-

cific questions about why these regulations are in place, contact the board directly. The only exception is if you are seeking pardon to join the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council (POST). Council rule 4643-02(1)(g) explains why the POST application must be submitted along with your application for pardon. Applications for pardon are available online Process After you complete your application for pardon, be sure to attach 3 letters of reference from citizens who are not your family members. According to the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles, your references must be of "unquestionable integrity."

To clarify the definition of "unquestionable integrity," contact the board directly at 404656-5651. If you are awaiting approval for adoption, Section VIII housing,custodial rights, the right to foster a child, admission to an educational institution, license to be a truck driver to Canada or admission to the Peace Officer Training and Standards Council, then remember to include a copy of your application to these programs with your application for pardon. Finally, include copies of your criminal history for any out-of-state

It’s Not Easy But...There Is Help For Felons

elected to serve in political office is all about them, not about the district, not the community, not the people. That is scary, or should be very scary to you as a citizen period.

Regrettably, the problem I see is that it has not been scary enough in the Black community here in Columbus, Georgia. All too often we as citizens allow ourselves to be led astray and played for fools. There abounds more of spirit of fear and spirit apathy than the Spirit of God with many of us. Truth is quickly rejected and lies upon lies are eagerly accepted. As citizens, as taxpayers, as voters we must be constantly on the lookout for the wolves in the sheep's clothing just going through the motions to trick us out of our support and our votes. When you fall asleep on guard duty that is the very time the enemy will come in and not only cut your throat, but yours, mine, and every other person's in the camp. African Americans must be especially careful dealing with politics, politicians, and government officials and issues pertaining to government.

With our guards down and eyes shut tight, we are as good as dead regarding the genuine progress, true prosperity, and sound future of our community as a whole. Stay alert and stay alive. (To be continued)

offenses. No fine is required in Georgia as of summer 2011. However it may take 9 to 12 months before you receive a response.

Once your application is complete, submit it to the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Parole at the following address: Considerations Obtaining a pardon is not the same as expungement. As of 2011, Georgia only grants expungement to people who have been arrested but not received a conviction.

Georgia does not seal records of convicts.

As a convicted felon, your criminal history will always be available to law enforcement and the public. You still must report that you've been convicted of criminal charges if asked. If convicted of a sex crime, you also must remain on the offenders list for 10 years following the completion of your sentencing. At the conclusion of 10 years, you may petition for removal from this list. The function of a pardon is to show that state law enforcement no longer deems you to be a threat to society. Having a pardon does not make your past records disappear, but it does make you look more respectable and responsible in the eyes of future employers.

Arrested, Acquitted But Not Expunged First Offenders records Dunlap said,

“Many people are not aware that First Offender pleas are not eligible for expungement. You don’t have a conviction after you offered a plea as part of the First Offender Act but because you plead guilty the statue says you don’t have a conviction for convictions purposes, however, it remains on a persons criminal history forever.”

By Wane A. Hailes The Courier

The stories are many and all too familiar; alleged criminal offenders unable to apply for certain jobs, professions or educational opportunities or seek new opportunities in life because of a mistake they may have made at a young age or in a difficult place in their life. Other stories are more complex. Such incidents include individuals who have proven they have been wrongly accused, arrested, convicted and incarcerated. Local horror stories have been told how even after exoneration and serving decades in jail they find it difficult to have their criminal record cleared.

“The law is clear, says Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Dunlap. Dunlap is the individual responsible for processing all “Request to Expunge Arrest Records” that comes through the District Attorney’s office. No criminal record is guaranteed to be expunged in Georgia, except in the following two cases: • When an individual was arrested for a criminal offense,

but released before the case was referred to the state prosecutor, and • When an individual’s case was referred to the prosecutor, but the case was dismissed before the prosecutor sought an indictment or filed an accusation.

These are the ONLY two instances that we MUST expunge an individuals record.

Anything else we MAY choose to expunge their record.”

In explaining what the DA’s office MAY choose to expunge Dunlap offered this scenario.

“If a grand jury has indicted an individual for spousal abuse and we later dismiss the case because the witness could not be found. We may or may not choose to expunge your record, especially if in reviewing your record we see a pattern or a history of spousal abuse in your past. The individual may have had ten arrest for simple battery but no convictions. We look at it as a case of they just haven’t been caught yet.”

When asked about expunging

“I understand it may be frustrating to individuals when they apply for a job.

The code says that an employer is not supposed to use it against you but no one can control that. “ A criminal record that is expunged is completely destroyed such as fingerprint cards, photographs, and documents relating exclusively to the person. Any material which cannot be physically destroyed or which the prosecuting attorney determines must be preserved for constitutional reasons shall be restricted by the agency and shall not be subject to disclosure to any person except by direction of the prosecuting attorney or as ordered by a court. Georgia Code § 35-3-37. It is basically as if the crime never occurred.

There are four steps to having your record expunged. (1) obtain a copy of a “Request To Expunge Arrest Record” form from the arresting agency, (2) The arresting agency has to fill out a form and (3) the prosecuting attorney has to fill out a form. Finally you have to submit a “Request For Expungement to the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC). The total cost for all forms will be $50.

Eligibility to Expunge a Criminal Record in Georgia

In Georgia, there is no guarantee that an individual’s record will be expunged. However, if any of the following scenarios apply to your situation, your criminal record may be approved to be expunged by the prosecuting attorney.

According to O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37(d), an individual may be eligible to expunge their record in Atlanta if:

They were indicted, but their criminal charges were dismissed, They were not indicted and their criminal charges were dismissed, Their case was not presented to a grand jury and no indictment was filed, No further action is anticipated in their case, An indictment was filed, but their charges were Nolle Prossed / Prosequi, An indictment was filed, but their charges were dead docketed, or There was no record on file.

Additionally, in order to have a criminal record expunged in Georgia, the individual must not have any other criminal charges pending and they must not have any other criminal convictions within the five years preceding the expungement.

An individual is NOT eligible to have their record expunged for any of the following reasons:

They were found guilty of a criminal offense, They pleaded nolo contendere to a criminal offense, Their plea was entered under the First Offender Act, Their charges were dismissed because of a plea agreement that resulted in a conviction for an offense arising out of the same underlying transaction or occurrence as the conviction, The government was barred from introducing material evidence against the alleged offender, A material witness refused to testify or was unable to testify against the alleged offender, The individual was in jail on other criminal charges and the prosecuting attorney decided not to prosecute these criminal charges for reasons of judicial economy, The individual successfully completed a pretrial diversion program that did not specifically provide for expungement of the arrest record, The individual was arrested for conduct that was part of a pattern of criminal activity that was prosecuted in another court, or The individual had diplomatic, consular or similar immunity from arrest or prosecution.

If you are not eligible to have your criminal record expunged in Georgia, but believe you should be, you may able to contest the accuracy of the information on your GCIC report if it is not correct.

Columbus Consolidated Government To Utilize CodeRED Emergency Notification System

By Staff The Courier

The Columbus Consolidated Government has contracted with Emergency Communications Network to license its CodeRED high-speed notification solution. The CodeRED system provides Columbus Consolidated Government officials the ability to quickly deliver messages to targeted areas or the entire Columbus Consolidated Government.

Lisa Goodwin, Deputy City Manager, cautioned that such systems are only as good as the telephone number database supporting them. "If your phone num-

ber is not in the database, you will not be called." One of the reasons the CodeRED system was selected is it gives individuals and businesses the ability to add their own phone numbers directly into the system's database, this is an extremely important feature.

“No one should automatically assume his or her phone number is included,” Goodwin said urging all individuals and businesses to log onto the Columbus Consolidated Government’s website, WWW.COLUMBUSGA.ORG, and follow the link to the "CodeRED Community Notification Enrollment" page. Those without

Internet access may call 311 Citizens Service Center (706-653-4000 or 311), Monday through Friday, (7AM-5:30PM) to supply their information over the phone. Required information includes first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, zip code, and primary phone number, additional phone numbers can be entered as well.

All businesses should register, as well as all individuals who have unlisted phone numbers, who have changed their phone number or address within the past year, and those who use a cellular phone or VoIP phone as their primary number.

Goodwin explained, "CodeRED allows geo-

graphically based delivery, which means street addresses are required to ensure emergency notification calls are received by the proper individuals in a given situation. The system works for cell phones too, but we need to have an associated street address to provide relevant messages."

Goodwin stated, "CodeRED gives those who want to be included an easy and secure method for inputting information. The data collected will only be used for emergency notification purposes." Questions should be directed to the 311 Citizens Service Center, 706-653-4000 or by dialing 311.
