Local communities show outpouring of support for Flint, Michigan By Valerie J. Morgan
P
eople didn’t just bring their appetites to DeKalb County Commissioner Stan Watson’s community breakfast meeting as they usually do in anticipation of the free hearty, Southern breakfast that is served every first Saturday. This month, residents, community leaders and elected officials brought cases and cases of bottled water to Southwest DeKalb High School on Feb. 6, where the community breakfast was held. In all, 25,000 bottles of water were collected for residents in Flint, Michigan, which has made national news because its drinking water supply from the Flint River is contaminated with lead. The exposure has devastated the majority black city and prompted a class action lawsuit and federal investigation. The crisis has also spurred a call to action with people from around the nation sending water to Flint after learning that the long-term effects of lead contamination can cause irreversible neurological consequences

on children and the elderly. A mother of four children helped to expose Flint’s toxic water after she and her children began losing their hair, experienced severe abdominal pain, rashes and other illnesses. Bobby Smith, who was born in Flint and now lives in the Atlanta area, initiated local water drives to help the people from his hometown. “I want to congratulate Commissioner Watson. He was the catalyst for raising 25,000 bottles of water,” said DeKalb Commissioner Larry Johnson, who was among the elected
officials who helped Watson. At the Board of Commissioners’ Feb. 9 meeting, Johnson thanked Watson and urged the community to keep pitching in, saying that Flint residents are facing a long-term problem. Watson thanked the Teamsters for making the commitment to deliver the donations to Flint residents. The Davis Bozeman law firm in Decatur and the Rockdale Sheriff’s Office also were among others who collected water to send to Flint. Davis Bozeman collected water purifiers as well over the weekend.

Hank Aaron Statue to remain in Atlanta
hen the Atlanta Braves move to their new home in Cobb County, the iconic statue of Hank Aaron will remain at Turner Field, Atlanta officials have announced. “I am pleased to have worked with our team and the Braves to finalize this issue,” said Keisha Lance Bottoms, executive director of the City of Atlanta and Fulton County Recreation Authority Bottoms. “While there are other matters that must be resolved before the Braves exit Turner Field, keeping the Hank Aaron statue at home is a major accomplishment. We can now move forward with the transition of the stadium knowing that a part of Mr. Aaron’s incredible legacy will continue to be appropriately honored within the city.”
Since the Braves’ announcement in 2013 that they would depart Turner Field for a new facility in Cobb County, controversy has swirled around whether the statue was the property of the Atlanta Braves or the recreation authority. Bottoms said the authority conducted an internal review and uncovered Olympics-era documents clearly spelling out that the statue belonged to the citizens of Atlanta and Fulton County. “The statue of Hank Aaron rightfully belongs to the citizens of the City of Atlanta and Fulton County, and we have worked hard to ensure that this historic sports landmark and tribute to the great Hank Aaron will remain,” said Bottoms.

DeKalb Commissioner Mereda Johnson blasts MARTA layoffs
D
eKalb County Commissioner Mereda Davis Johnson blasted MARTA for its plans to outsource its paratransit services and lay off 371 workers. “Shame on MARTA,” said Johnson, adding that she would never put profits before people. Johnson made the remarks during today’s DeKalb Board of Commission meeting. MARTA plans to use a private provider, California-based MV Transporta-
tion, to transport the disabled and elderly passengers as part of its paratransit services. The transition will begin in March, with the new service starting in the spring, said MARTA spokesman Lyle V. Harris. MV Transportation, Harris said, is one of the largest transit providers in the country. The MARTA Board voted in November to hire MV Transportationand pay the company $69.4 million over three years.

RCSO helps public prepare for active shooter events
T
he Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office(RCSO) hosted two seminars for residents and business owners of Rockdale intended to prepare attendees to respond to an active shooter event. The “Civilian Response to an Active Shooter Event” (CRASE) seminars were held on Feb. 6, at the Rockdale County Auditorium located at 903 Main Street, Conyers. “In the wake of recent events, I felt that the RCSO needed to better prepare citizens regarding active shooters,” said Sheriff Eric J. Levett. “While we all hope that an active shooter event will not happen here, we need to make sure everyone is prepared and can respond appropriately. RCSO deputies train on these types of events annually, but citizens need to have their own training as well.”

MARTA would save up to $2 million a year by outsourcing, the move was not made to save money. He said MARTA was under a court order to improve services and had to make changes. “We had been struggling for years to improve the quality of services. There were a lot of lost trips, late trips and high levels of absenteeism,” said Harris. Harris said MV plans to hire as many of the displaced drivers who have good records. MARTA officials said
