GPC Cancels Fall Graduation Georgia Perimeter College student Charlee Correia was looking forward to receiving her diploma at commencement exercises in December, but the school has eliminated the fall graduation program to save money.

Students pay as college grapples with shortfall By Donna Williams Lewis

Charlee Correia has been looking forward to graduating from Georgia Perimeter College since the day she enrolled two years ago. Graduation day is Dec. 14. She was excited that her family was coming from out of town to celebrate her walk across the stage. Now she has learned that the commencement ceremony she worked for and paid for is not going to happen. Grappling with a $25 million shortfall that began to come to light this spring, Georgia Perimeter College has canceled its December commencement ceremony. The event was to be held in the gymnasium of the college’s Clarkston campus. The cancellation affects an anticipated 1,000 to 1,100 candidates for graduation from the two-year community college. About one-third of GPC graduates typically participate in their commencement ceremonies. In a Sept. 21 e-mail to students, GPC interim President Rob Watts said attendance at graduation has been rising at both the fall and spring commencement programs over the past few years and that shifting from two ceremonies to just one in the spring at a larger venue will allow students to invite more guests. Watts said that having one ceremony will save the college about $14,000. College spokeswoman Beverly James said Watts would not discuss the cancellation with CrossRoadsNews. “Mr. Watts’ statement to the students is the only comment that he will make for the story,” James wrote in an Oct. 23 e-mail. David Schick, 26-year-old editor of GPC’s student newspaper, The Collegian, said many students are angry. “I wasn’t planning on walking [at gradu-

ation], so it wasn’t that big a deal to me, but I know a lot of people were upset about it,” Schick said. Brittney Fitzpatrick, 21, of Walton County said she feels “a little shot down” by her college. “I feel like after working so hard everybody deserves to get your starring moment, to be recognized for all the hard work you’ve done,” said Fitzpatrick, who will transfer to the University of Georgia after she graduates in December. “I realize it’s only a two-year degree, but I did a lot to get that two-year degree and everybody worked really hard. After I transfer to UGA, what’s the point in making the drive to walk across the stage for something I’m already going to have in my hand?”

get their paper diplomas in February. The students were invited to participate in a commencement program in May at the Atlanta Civic Center, where they can receive covers for their diplomas, said Carter, who co-chairs the Commencement Committee. The May graduation is expected to cost about $19,000, including $8,000 to rent the Civic Center. Last spring, students paid a nonrefundable $25 graduation fee that helps fund the commencement ceremony. It covers the cost of printing diplomas and graduation programs and processing diploma documents. Georgia Perimeter College, nearly 50 years old, is a haven for nontraditional students.

Other December graduates are not swayed by the lure of a larger venue. Ashjuana Airall, 19, of Stone Mountain said she hopes to be studying at Paine College in Augusta next spring. She depends on her parents for transportation and said she won’t be able to return to Atlanta for a spring ceremony. Correia, a 29-year-old from Sandy Springs, expects to be much farther away.

He says he has always voted early to avoid long lines and was in and out in five minutes. Fambrough, who lives in Decatur, said he voted for Obama again because of the strides he has made with the economy. “When he came into office, the economy was bankrupt,” he said. “He brought the banks back.” If the president wins a second term, Fambrough, who is 67, said he wants to see him continue to work on jobs and improve education. Fambrough said he voted no on the Charter School Amendment. “They will be taking away money from the public schools and giving the state more control,” he said. “That’s not a good thing.” Tre James, 21, who missed the 2008 presidential election because he wasn’t old enough to vote, said he voted no on the Charter School Amendment but picked Republican Mitt Romney for president. “I believe his policy helps higher-income Americans, but looking at my future, I think I will be one of those high-income individuals,” he said. On Amendment 1, he said the local school board should make the decision about charter schools, not the state. Jomo Malone of Decatur, also a first-time presidential election voter, said he voted for the Charter School Amendment and picked Obama because he is the best man for the job. “His policies make sense,” he said. “Everything adds up.” If Obama gets a second term, Malone said he wants him to continue to level the playing field. “He is not just for rich people,” he said. “He is for everyone.” Starting Oct. 29, when the number of early precincts increases to six, Daniels expects to see 15,000 voters a day. Even though they have hardly seen any lines the first two weeks, Daniels said she expects lines the final week into the Nov. 6

presidential election. Oct. 27 is the final Saturday that the polls will be open. Next week, they will be open Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Election Day, all 189 county precincts will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. At press time Thursday, the final count for registered voters through the Oct. 9 voter registration deadline was not available. Through Oct. 1, DeKalb had 470,065 registered voters. Of those, 412,558 were listed as active voters, meaning they have cast ballots in the past two general elections. Voters who cast ballots in the first nine days encountered no lines, and Daniels said that even at the main election office, which has 80 voting machines, they were in and out in five minutes. “Next week, it’s going to change,” she said. Daniels was reluctant to compare this early voting season with the 2008 presidential election when voters had 45 days of advance voting. This year, there are 21 days of early voting. “This is a completely different animal,” she said. “It would be comparing apples and oranges.” Over the 45 days of early and absentee voting in 2008, 226,405 DeKalb voters cast ballots, including 150,897 people in the final week. Because early voting reached 6,000 to 7,000 people daily this week, Daniels says she is expecting to see 150,000 voters next week. In 2008 when the country elected Obama, voter turnout was projected at 80 percent and came in at 78 percent. With Obama’s campaign for a second term and the controversial Charter School Amendment, Daniels is projecting a 80 percent turnout this year. Starting Monday, three more early voting precincts will be added in downtown Decatur, Stone Mountain and Chamblee. Together, they will have 184 polling machines.

The plaintiffs argue the state went outside the normal legislative process in passing state, not local, legislation to create six new cities.

Blacks sue to halt Brookhaven election By Mary Swint

With the election of Brookhaven’s first mayor and city council about two weeks away, the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus has asked a federal court to halt the election or to allow all DeKalb County voters to participate in the new city’s elections. A 31-page motion for a preliminary injunction was filed in the U.S. District Court in Atlanta on Oct. 17 against Gov. Nathan Deal and on behalf of Joseph Lowery, the Georgia Black Caucus, and seven registered voters who are black or of African descent from Dunwoody, Johns Creek, DeKalb and Brookhaven. The motion asks for a federal judge to Joseph Lowery enjoin the state from “continuing the implementation of laws designed to incorporate the City of Brookhaven,” including the election of a governing body on Nov. 6. Voters approved DeKalb’s newest and largest city on July 31 with 54 percent of the votes of the residents within the 2-mile-wide, 6-mile-long city. The city of Brookhaven has a population of 49,188 and 14 percent of the county’s real estate tax base. It is 27 percent commercial, compared with 21 percent for the county, and is home to major corporate offices and commercial properties, including Perimeter Summit, with total assessed value of $687 million. Plaintiffs asked for an emergency hearing on their motion to be held before the election day. They also pointed out that a similar lawsuit is scheduled for oral arguments in early January in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. They accused the state of Georgia of creating “high income, majority white municipalities from minority controlled counties, with the effect of significantly diluting the voting rights and political influence of the plaintiffs.” They alleged the state violated the plaintiffs’ civil rights. The motion said there are plans to pass additional laws to create a Milton County and the city of Druid Hills, which “will further dilute the voting power and political authority of the plaintiffs.” The lawsuit said blacks have become the dominant racial group in Fulton and DeKalb over the past 30 years. Starting

The Georgia Legislative Black Caucus is seeking an emergency hearing as Brookhaven prepares to elect its first mayor and city council.

in 2005, the state has tried to “blunt the emergent political power of blacks in these counties” by passing laws to create predominantly white municipalities in these two counties – four in Fulton and Dunwoody and Brookhaven in DeKalb. It said DeKalb is 54.4 percent black and 30.1 percent white while Dunwoody is only 12.6 percent black and 64.1 percent white. Brookhaven, which will begin operations in December, is 10.9 percent black and 47.7 percent white with an all-white interim leadership council appointed by Deal. The median household income for DeKalb is $51,000 but is $77,000 in Dunwoody and Brookhaven. The plaintiffs argue the state went outside the normal legislative process in passing state, not local, legislation to create the six new cities in Fulton and DeKalb. This prevented the black legislators from having input in the legislation. In its response filed Oct. 24, attorneys for the state called the motion “impractical and impermissible” and asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit. They pointed inting out that eight of the nine plaintiffs had brought a similar lawsuit in 2011 to have five new cities dissolved and a federal judge dismissed that case this March. The Black Caucus’ appeal in that case is scheduled for oral arguments in January. The state argued that the governor was the wrong defendant, the new cities are subject to county control in the same way Atlanta is, and they were created to provide services that were unavailable in unincorporated Fulton and DeKalb.

DeKalb Neighborhood Summit registering Residents and community groups can still sign up for the Nov. 3 DeKalb Neighborhood Summit at the Courtyard by Marriott in downtown Decatur. The summit, which is free to attend, is in its fourth year. It takes place 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Registration is available at www.onedekalb.com. There will be public speakers, exhibitors, workshops, presentations, educational handouts, and networking opportunities. More than 300 residents from around the county are expected to attend the event co-hosted by DeKalb CEO Burrell Ellis and the Board of Commissioners. The theme is “Your Neighborhood … Your Quality of Life: The Place Where Your Future Lives.” Ellis said the event facilitates cross-county dialogue. “This year’s summit will bring together residents from across DeKalb County to meet, exchange ideas and learn how to partner with county departments to sustain and improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods,” he said in an Oct. 19 statement. Residents can participate in workshops, sign up for free recycling, learn about green initiatives, visit a county services expo, attend a special session presented by the Neighborhood Fund on funding neighborhood projects, sign up to become a neighborhood ambassador, and network with community leaders. Round-table discussions on topics such as the Board of Health’s Master Active Living Plan and volunteer opportunities also will be held every 15 to 20 minutes. Clean Track sessions will discuss code compliance activities in neighborhoods, removing litter, property maintenance, and code enforcement on blight. Green Track sessions cover initiatives on recycling and waste reduction, transportation and air quality, trees and green space, and water use and efficiency. Safe Track sessions provide information on keeping neighborhoods safe. The summit is open to the public, and registration is encouraged. The Courtyard by Marriott is at 130 Clairemont Ave. For more information, call 404-371-3689.

DeKalb County CEO Burrell Ellis reminds you of the Best Practices for Proper Disposal of

F.O.G.

(Fats, Oils, and Grease)

F.O.G. enters plumbing through garbage disposals, sinks and toilets. It coats the inside of plumbing pipes and also empties into DeKalb County’s sewer system. Here are three simple guidelines to help keep F.O.G. out of our pipes and sewers:

1. 3.

POUR

fats, oils or grease into a sealable container, allow it to cool and throw it in the trash. Do not pour down the drain or toilet.

SCRAPE plates and cookware before washing.

Do not throw scraps of any kind down the drain. Instead, place them in waste containers or garbage bags.

WIPE excess grease from all plates, pots, pans, utensils, and surfaces with a paper towel before washing. Throw the greasy paper towels away.

Plumbing and sanitary sewer systems are simply not designed to handle the F.O.G. that accumulates in pipes. When it gets into the pipes and hardens, blockages occur and cause sewage to backup and overflow out of manholes or into homes. This is expensive for you, and for the County. The damages caused by fats, oils and grease in the sewer system are costly to repair. Over time, they increase the costs of our water and sewer services.

It’s my hope that the elimination of the recycling fee is just the jump start needed for residents to get behind this.

Charter School Amendment wrests local control By William H. Boone

On the Nov. 6 ballot, Georgians are being asked to help determine the life chances of thousands of Georgia children. Amendment One, or the Charter School Amendment, would allow the state to circumvent locally elected officials and make determinations that are rightly the prerogative of locally elected school boards. The proposed amendment – “Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended to allow state or local approval of public charter schools upon the request of local communities?” – is very innocuous and belies the intent of the amendment, which is to create a new state agency that will have the power to establish charter schools in local districts and override objections of locally elected school boards. The immediate question for Georgia voters is whether a state agency can do a better job of bringing about positive educational reform than locally elected school boards. Proponents of the charter amendment have several arguments; however, there are essentially two arguments upon which they are relying. It is the proponents’ view that: 1) charter schools offer parents of poor children a choice for their children, and (2) charter schools improve the academic performance of children, but in particular that of poor children. Available data from the Georgia Department of Education reveal that in some of the state’s poorest counties where state-sanctioned charter schools operate, poor chil-

dren do not compose a significant percentage of the school’s enrollment. In many of these charter schools, the representation of poor children, as determined by free lunch recipients, is as low as 1 percent, and the highest percentage may well be in Gwinnett County where the percentage of free lunch recipients in charter schools is less than half that for the Gwinnett district as a whole.

Argument not supported Proponents have advanced the argument that charter schools provide a better education for children, thus improving their academic performance. Currently there are no conclusive data to support this claim. At least two national studies do not endorse this argument. A nationwide study conducted by the Stanford University Center for Research on Education Outcomes concluded that most charter schools deliver academic results that are worse or no better than students in traditional public schools. A second study reported in the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a federally funded series of tests, commonly referred to as the nation’s report card, reported that fourth-graders in charter schools scored 231 in mathematics

on a 500 scale in 2009, up from 228 in 2003. Fourth graders in traditional public schools scored 239 in 2009, up from 234 in 2003. The results for eighth-graders were also measured. Charter schools’ scores rose to 275 in 2009, up from 268 in 2005; traditional public school eighth-graders’ scores rose to 282 from 278 during the same time frame. What these studies show us is that on average, charter students do not perform better or worse than those in traditional public schools.

Use of public funds The issue of funding of statecreated charter schools has only been addressed in a few public forums dealing with the amendment. The proposed amendment gives the state Legislature the power to fund such schools with the proviso that no funds intended for a local district be reduced as a result of such funding. The intent of the funding language is clear; it is there to reassure local school districts that they will not be liable for the support of state-sanctioned charter schools. However, there is a history of the Georgia governor and General Assembly de-funding education to balance the state’s budget. In the last decade, funding for

education has been reduced by over $4 billion. Any funds allocated for state charter schools may well be better directed at existing public schools. The use of public funds to finance quasi-private education for the few is very questionable. What is occurring is the transfer of public funds for private use, in short, a transfer of funds from the many to the few. The parents who are able to take advantage of charter schools are those who are in a position to send their children to private schools. Components of the model by which charter schools operate require substantial involvement of parents. A very good model; however, the children of the poor parents who we are led to believe will benefit from the proposed amendment do not have the job flexibility to devote a significant amount of time at their child’s school during the day without the risk of lost wages or job. It should be noted that adoption of the charter amendment would effectively take out of the hands of local school boards control of the allocation of needed resources and how best to serve the children in their districts. It is disingenuous for state officials to decry federal control on the one hand but see no problem with taking away local control from locally elected school boards for no reason other than to bow to the demands of a narrow interest.

Recycling is now free – time to to ‘Get a Bin’ By Commissioner Kathie Gannon

The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners recently took a big step to make DeKalb County greener. The board voted Sept. 25 to eliminate the initial $30 sign-up fee for curbside recycling. It’s time for more DeKalb residents to recycle. While our county is among the leaders in recycling in metro Atlanta, still only 21 percent of the eligible households in DeKalb currently recycle. The county has a goal to increase recycling to 40 percent, the national standard. In addition to dropping the recycling registration fee, we’ve also established a modest marketing campaign to reach more citizens. It’s my hope that the elimination of the recycling fee is just the jump start needed for residents to get behind this. In just two days after the fee was dropped, over 500 households signed up for recycling. If you were not one of them, just

“While our county is among the leaders in recycling in metro Atlanta, still only 21 percent of the eligible households currently recycle. The county has a goal to increase recycling to 40 percent.” Kathie Gannon

go to www.DeKalbRecycles.com to register or call the DeKalb Sanitation Division at 404-294-2900. The recycling bin and bags will be delivered to your home. Recycling currently generates $600,000 in revenue annually for the DeKalb Sanitation Fund. These help reduce overall sanitation costs. When you consider that each American creates about 1,600 pounds of solid waste each year, you’ll understand the big opportunity we have. More than half the waste that goes to the Seminole Road Landfill could have been recycled.

I’ve recycled at my home for many years. It’s a habit you get used to, like wearing your seat belt or turning out lights when you leave a room. It just takes a minute and it makes me feel good that I’m conserving our country’s natural resources. The benefits of recycling are not only environmental, they’re economic. Georgia is a leading carpet manufacturing state and much of that industry relies upon recycled plastic as a raw material for making carpet. Mohawk Industries operates a plastic recycling manufacturing facility in North Georgia that employs 300 people. One-third of

all recycled plastic bottles in North America make their way to Georgia’s carpet industry, but if plastic bottles are thrown away, they never disintegrate. SP Newsprint, which is headquartered in metro Atlanta, employs over 600 people in various manufacturing plants in Georgia and the Southeast. Novelis headquartered in Atlanta recycles aluminum and employs over 11,000 people in 11 countries. Green jobs are real jobs and a growth industry. If you’re already recycling, thank you. If you’re not, visit our Web site, www.DeKalbRecycles.com, to find out how to recycle and to register. So get a bin – it’s free – and join us in turning our trash into a valuable resource. Commissioner Kathie Gannon represents Super District 6. She established the DeKalb County Green Commission.

elor’s degree at California State University Dominguez Hills. “For lack of better words,” she wrote in an Oct. 10 opinion piece for The Collegian, “this is bulls--t.” Correia said Tuesday that she had family coming from Rhode Island. “Thank God they didn’t buy their tickets when they wanted to, back in July.” She estimates that it would cost her more than $900 for airfare, hotel and car rental to return to Atlanta in May for graduation. “I’m frustrated that my life is being put on hold and feel helpless that my screams for a better outcome are going unheard,” she wrote in The Collegian.

Growing student population As graduations go, Georgia Perimeter’s have traditionally been low-frills affairs, held since about 2008 in the Clarkston campus’s gymnasium. Each year, GPC spends about $40,000 for two graduations. The May 2012 graduation cost $16,304.97, documents obtained by The Collegian show. About 80 percent of that expense was for printing programs; renting a stage, canopy and lighting equipment; and hiring the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra to perform. When Carter came on board in 2000, the college was staging just one commencement ceremony per year, in the spring. She said it was held at a church and was later moved to Hallford Stadium behind the Clarkston campus. After complaints about heat, the ceremony was moved to the gym, which holds up to 1,500 people. Carter said that two years ago, GPC’s commencements began trending toward outgrowing their space. To accommodate the crowd, the college split graduation into fall and spring ceremonies and holds two ceremonies on each of those days. GPC had grown to be the state University System’s Tthird-largest institution, with K OUgrowing enrollment from 13,400 in fall 2007 CHEC MM ER S! toOmore 27,000 in fall 2011. L UR SUthan A I C SPE s Belohas w MEcurrently 23,871 students on four TIIt on p u o See C campuses and at its Alpharetta Center. About 40 percent of those students are Distance Learning students who take classes online. Last spring, a resolution commending then GPC President Anthony Tricoli for his work at the college was read and adopted in the Georgia House of Representatives on March 27. About a week later, the college’s Commencement Committee sent an April 6 email to Dr. Vincent June, vice president for student affairs, that recommended a return to one graduation to be held at the Civic Center. “We put forth a recommendation that they consider moving it to a large venue that could accommodate all of our graduates and their guests,” Carter said. “Also, the cost was continually rising because we have to provide all of the staging pieces.” Dean Alford, who represents the 4th Congressional District on the state Board of Regents, said he “hates it tremendously” that graduation was canceled. “But right now, every penny does matter,” Alford said. “It’s a tragic, bad situation that the school finds itself in. It’s sad that the students have to pay the consequences of adults not doing their jobs.” In April, a $16 million budget shortfall was discovered at GPC. On May 7, Chancellor Hank Huckaby announced that Tricoli, who had been at GPC since October 2006, had “stepped down.” Tricoli alleged that key financial personnel at GPC had defrauded the school. But a review recently completed by the University System concluded that chronic overspending and the depletion of reserves to make ends meet were the culprit. Auditors concluded that lack of proper

oversight from Tricoli and other top fiscal leadership led to GPC’s shortfall. “Unfortunately, key leaders at every level charged with actual responsibility for GPC’s fiscal management did not exercise all of their assigned duties,” the review said. “It appears that an emphasis on enrollment growth and program expansion took precedence over sound fiscal practice as management and leadership priorities.”

Employee layoffs Watts, the University System’s former chief operating officer, was appointed interim president on May 9. He also served as interim president before Tricoli was hired. The college’s current operating budget is $183 million, which reflects a budget cut of more than $20 million. To absorb that cut, GPC has laid off 282 employees. Travel and operating supply costs have been cut. Class sizes were increased by two students, and faculty is required to teach 10 classes rather than nine. Computer upgrades were eliminated for one year, and all facility upgrades were ended.

GPC expects to end this fiscal year on June 30, 2013, with a deficit of $5 million to $9 million. Watts joined academic deans and other administrators drafted into classrooms to help the college weather its financial crisis. And on Sept. 21, about five weeks into the fall semester, Watts turned his attention to notifying students about the postponement of their graduation ceremony. Watts was quoted in an Oct. 9 Collegian article as saying that he was notified of the recommendation in mid- to late summer by June, the vice president for student affairs. Watts told the Collegian that he took responsibility for the delay in telling students about the cancellation. He said that he was distracted by other events on campus. Some legislators who signed the resolution honoring Tricoli expressed dismay over the graduation cancellation this week. State Rep. Karla Drenner (D-District 86) said she believes Tricoli was made a scapegoat by the University System. “I don’t even believe Tricoli was at fault,” she said. Drenner, who was commencement

speaker at GPC a couple of years ago, said she would be upset if she were one of the December graduates. “They’re worried more about covering up the fact that there were some internal problems going on at the campus and at the regent level when what they’re really there to do is take care of their students,” Drenner said Wednesday. “Students have paid fees, so they should be entitled to graduate when they were told they were going to graduate.” State Rep. Michele Henson (D-District 87) said she “empathizes with the students.” “Hopefully, we can come to some resolution where they will be able to have a graduation in December,” she said. State Rep. Rahn Mayo (D-District 91) said he thinks it would have been better for the college to look at cutting upcoming expenses than to cancel graduation. “I think it would be prudent to look at ways to cut costs in the future than to pull the plug on students who were expecting a ceremony and making plans for an important moment in their lives,” he said.

“Keith Parker’s experience, political acumen and management style are an ideal fit for the unique challenges we face.”

MARTA’s new CEO to take reins in December DeKalb Work Veteran transit executive Keith T. Parker is MARTA’s general manager and CEO. He will take office Dec. 10. Parker, who was most recently president and CEO of VIA transit in San Antonio, signed a five-year contract with MARTA that includes a $320,000 base salary with automatic, one-year renewable options. He is also eligible to receive a $25,000 annuity for each year of his contract if he remains in the post until June 30, 2017. He could also receive compensation for meeting, or exceeding, predetermined performance goals set by the MARTA board of directors. Frederick L. Daniels Jr., MARTA board chairman, said Parker was the best choice to take over the helm of the nation’s ninthlargest transit system. “Keith Parker’s experience, political acumen and management style are an ideal fit for the unique challenges we face,” he said in an Oct. 19 statement. “He has the full faith and confidence of our board to begin the process of transforming and repositioning MARTA for the future.” Parker said he is honored and humbled

to be selected. “I am eager to begin working with our employees, customers, and transit stakeholders to provide efficient and effective transit service to the region,” he said. “As a public servant and avid transit rider, I look forward to taking MARTA to ensure we’re offering a quality transit experience and to leading an agency that is transparent and open to the people we serve.” He plans to ride the train to work daily and said he has told his Realtor that his Atlanta home must be on or near a MARTA line. Parker will succeed Dr. Beverly A. Scott, who has been MARTA’s general manager and CEO since 2007. Her contract ends in De-

cember and she informed the board in 2011 that she would not renew her fiveyear contract. In San Antonio, Parker oversaw all aspects of the region’s primary transit system, including fixedroute bus, paratransit and light rail. VIA transit provides bus, streetcar and paratransit service daily for nearly 150,000 riders. Prior to San Antonio, Parker was CEO for the Charlotte Area Transit System in North Carolina and helped developed that system’s light rail. He has a bachelor’s degree in political science, a master’s in urban and regional planning, and an M.B.A. He is married to Dawn, a high school principal and his college sweetheart. The couple have two daughters, Kirstyn, 12, and Kyler, 9. A copy of Parker’s contract is available at www.itsmarta.com.

“It was a breath of fresh air because you hear so many negative things about breast cancer. This was fun and it enlightened you.” Pink Heart Convention attendees also learned the value of music. They danced with the fabulous Beulah Boys.

Smoking ban expanded in DeKalb Smokers can no longer light up in parks and other public places in DeKalb County. The DeKalb County Clean Indoor Air Ordinance, which was amended Oct. 23, bans smoking in parks and outdoor recreational areas. Smoking was already banned in places of employment and in restaurants in unincorporated DeKalb County. The ban took effect immediately on Wednesday. S. Elizabeth Ford District Health Director S. Elizabeth Ford applauded the vote by the DeKalb Board of Commissioners. “We are extremely pleased by the actions taken by the Board of Commissioners to add this layer of protection,” Ford said in an Oct. 24 statement. “Smoking and secondhand smoke cause serious illness and even death and costs our Georgia health care system millions of dollars annually. This is definitely a win for improving future health outcomes for our citizens, especially our youth,” Ford said. On Sept. 13, 2011, the Board of Commissioners balked at approving the amendment by a 4-2 vote. This time, commissioners voted 6-0 to extend the smoking ban to parks. Commissioner Elaine Boyer was outside the room when the vote was taken. District 3 Commissioner Larry Johnson, the board’s presiding officer, said that secondhand smoke, especially smoke that reaches children and adults on public playgrounds, can sometimes trigger asthma problems as well as expose nonsmokers to deadly toxins. “Anyone who works, lives or uses our parks and recreation areas will benefit from this added protection,” said Johnson, who has

a background in public health. The Board of Health’s 2010 Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that tobacco use among DeKalb youth is a problem – 8.3 percent of high school students begin smoking before age 13, and 3.9 percent smoke 10 cigarettes per day. Fifty-six percent have tried to quit during the past 12 months. Cigarette smoking is highest among white youth while cigar smoking is highest among Hispanic youth. Tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke can result in increased risk for illnesses such as lung cancer, heart disease, asthma attacks, and ear and respiratory infections for younger children. Ford thanked community partners and an initiative funded by the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called Communities Putting Prevention to Work for helping to educate businesses and community groups about the dangers of secondhand smoke and the importance of creating smoke-free environments at home, in vehicles and in public places. Ford, the Board of Health and other activists had pushed for prohibiting smoking in all public places, including entrances and exits to buildings, parks, playgrounds, restaurants, adult entertainment establishments, and outdoor entertainment venues and service lines such as ATM lines. They wanted to reduce the number of rooms a hotel can designate for smoking to 10 percent from 25 percent. At the time, Johnson said he did not want the county to go down “a slippery slope” with an expanded smoking ban. Bar and strip club owners had opposed extending the ban.

“He’s going through a lot, but we have to be tough and keep him happy.”

Macy’s Pink Pig ride opens for yule fun at Lenox Square By Stormy Kage

Children of all ages will be boarding the Pink Pig at Lenox Square in Atlanta for the annual holiday rite of passage. The ride on Macy’s Priscilla the Pig opens to the public at 10 a.m. on Oct. 27 and continues through Dec. 30. Rides cost $3 each and proceeds benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Families can hop on and take a trip through a life-sized storybook of holiday characters. On the VIP kickoff of the ride on Thursday, 4-year-old Ritesh Vunnam, a Children’s Healthcare patient, was the first Ritesh Vunnam VIP to ride Priscilla. He was excited. “I rode it three times,” Ritesh said. “I liked the tunnel back there.” His parents, Sandhya and Srinivassa Vunnam of Alpharetta, said Ritesh is living

with a rare, life-threatening disease called pulmonary veno-occlusive, which causes high blood pressure in the lungs. “He still loves to color and play with his Xbox,” his mother said. “He’s going through a lot, but we have to be tough and keep him happy.”

Other patients and friends and families of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta had exclusive access to the ride and got pink cupcakes and face painting. Jill Ivie and daughters Kyler, 8, and Taylin, 2, who have had open-heart surgeries, said riding the Pink Pig is an annual tradition

for the family. “We love it,” she said. “The Pink Pig is so cute and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is so awesome for doing this.” The Pink Pig, which began in 1953 as a children’s ride along the ceiling of the downtown Rich’s store, is 59 years old this year. In 2003, Priscilla was reintroduced under a 170-foot, 1950s-themed Pink Pig Tent in the upper-level parking deck near Lenox Square’s Macy’s. To date, Macy’s has donated more than $470,000 to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The Pink Pig ride is open weekdays 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sundays noon to 6 p.m. It is closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. In December, it opens an hour later on weekdays, and on Christmas Eve, it’s open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Macy’s at Lenox Square is at 3393 Peachtree Road N.E. in Atlanta.

Her luck changes when she wins the jackpot in the Maryland lottery. Brontë’s coming-of-age classic novel

will be discussed at the Decatur Library on Oct. 31 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. It follows the life of Jane Eyre, an orphan who becomes a governess.
