Official portrait of Gov. Deal, Sandra Deal unveiled at Georgia State Capitol
T
he official portrait of Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and First Lady Sandra Deal was unveiled on Jan. 3 at the Georgia State Capitol, a tribute honoring Deal as Georgia prepares for his successor, Gov.-elect Brian Kemp, to be sworn in on Jan. 14. Both, Deal and Kemp, are Republicans. The portrait, painted by Thomas Nash, will be displayed outside the governor's office on the second floor of the Capitol. Deal and his wife were joined on Jan. 3 for the unveiling by chief of staff Chris Riley and House Speaker David Ralston. “We should all be mindful that the accomplishments of the last eight years are not something I did alone,” said Deal. “No single office or person should seek credit for such efforts. All of the things symbolized in this portrait were made possible by unsung heroes who had important roles in bringing various initiatives to fruition, and for that I am truly thankful. So many people are a part of this portrait, as we are all committed to furthering the gains we have made, and we are all dedicated to a stronger economy, better opportunities through education and a state that values justice. I am indeed proud of what we have achieved, together, these last eight years.” The portrait includes various items that symbolize achievements of Deal's time in office, including: • The scales of justice representing Deal's leadership on criminal justice reforms. • A toy car representing economic development achievements and Georgia's distinction of the No. 1 state for business for six consecutive years. During Deal's time in office, companies including Mercedes-Benz USA, Kia Motors and Porsche North America located major operations in Georgia.
• An apple on top of a children's book representing investments in education and Mrs. Deal's visits to 1,000 schools across the state. • A copy of “Memories of the Mansion,” authored by Mrs. Deal with co-authors Dr. Catherine M. Lewis and Dr. Jennifer Dickey, that shares the history of the Governor’s Mansion through the stories and experiences of former first families of Georgia. • A construction crane representing the ongoing construction of the new 224,500-square-foot judicial complex on the corner of Capitol Avenue and Memorial Drive. “For the past eight years, Sandra and Nathan Deal have made history here in Georgia,” said Ralston. “Today, we pay tribute to them as they become part of the history of our state. To put it succinctly, Georgia is better because of Sandra and Nathan Deal. We have been able to achieve so much because of a strong partnership between the legislature and the governor’s office, as Gov. Deal has viewed the legislative branch of government as a partner and respected the important role it plays in state government.” “As someone who witnessed Gov. Deal interact, lead and listen over the last eight years, I find myself in awe of this portrait that reflects the characteristics of Nathan Deal and Sandra Deal,” said Riley. “I look forward to bringing my grandchildren to see this portrait and explaining what we did here in Georgia. Gov. Deal isn’t an example by which all others should be measured, but he is certainly an example they should follow. I am so proud to have served alongside Gov. Deal these last eight years, and I hope others will choose to follow his example in the future.”
tonecrest Mayor Jason Lary will take on a new leadership role in the New Year, serving as president of the DeKalb Municipal Association. Lary, who serves as mayor of DeKalb County’s largest city with 53,000 residents, was elected president by members of the Stonecrest Mayor Jason Lary 12-city association. Lary’s appointment is for one year. “I am honored that the other 11 mayors elected me as their leader for 2019. My goal is to strengthen the unity amongst the DeKalb cities and make sure we are serving the constituents at the highest level,” said Lary. Bill Floyd, who serves as executive director of the DeKalb Municipal Association, said he is looking forward to working with the group and its new leadership, which also includes Pine Lake Mayor Melanie Hammet, who heads DeKalb’s smallest city with a population of 674 residents. Hammet also will serve for one year. The DeKalb Municipal Association’s mission is to help foster better cooperation among the cities of DeKalb and DeKalb County government, Floyd said. The association’s member cities include: Avondale Estates, Brookhaven, Chamblee, Clarkston, Decatur, Doraville, Dunwoody, Lithonia, Pine Lake, Stonecrest, Stone Mountain and Tucker.

Sickle Cell Day at Georgia Capitol set Jan. 23 The Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia is inviting families and supporters from around the state to Sickle Cell Day at the Georgia Capitol on Wednesday, Jan. 23, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. The event will provide an opportunity for state legislators to hear concerns and challenges from those affected by sickle cell.

The Foundation encourages everyone of child-bearing age to be tested for sickle cell. Testing is available at the Foundation by appointment. Since 1971, the Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia has advocated for improved treatment, research, and a better quality of life for patients and their families. Founded by Dr. Delutha King a retired Atlanta physician who remains active on the board, and the late Dr. Nelson McGhee, Jr., the Foundation conducts sickle cell education, testing and counseling throughout the State. The program at the Capitol will include a continental breakfast and lunch. The Foundation is asking the sickle cell community to show up, stand up and help Georgia patients and their families living with the effects of Sickle Cell Disease.

Starting on Monday, Feb. 11, the sevenweek program offers individuals a deep dive into the essentials on starting and running a successful business. “The entrepreneurial program is a course designed with the small business owner in mind. If you have dreams of starting your own business or are already an established business owner seeking to expand, the academy has something for you,” said Fred Boscarino, President/CEO of the Chamber. “Experienced business people who have been there, tried that, share their voices of experiences to help you avoid common pitfalls and be better prepared to establish your business for growth and prosperity.” Taught by business leaders in the community, the curriculum includes sessions on legal entities, accounting, loan options, marketing, social media, insurance and human resources. Workshops vary from panel discussions to lectures and hands-on training. “Of more than 700 academy graduates who have come through the program since it started in 2004, more than 50 percent are now in business for themselves,” said Boscarino. “In addition to gaining valuable information, you also have the opportunity to network with other like-minded individuals who hope to establish or expand a small business.” The academy, which graduated 54 participants in 2018, draws participants from the surrounding metro Atlanta area including Conyers, College Park, Decatur, Lithonia, Stone Mountain, Covington, Forest Park, Stockbridge and McDonough.

needed to know to start her business at the Conyers-Rockdale Chamber of Commerce’s Entrepreneurial Academy. “Everything—from insurance to opening policies—was covered. It’s really what I needed to get things up and running,” said Williams, a retired Rutgers University professor. After graduating from the academy, Williams launched the Green Hygiene Company, LLC, a mail-order business in Decatur offering environmentally-safe cleaning products for homes and corporate dwellings. The cost for the program is $175. Attendees who register by Feb. 1 will receive a $50 discount.

Rockdale’s Constitutional Corner
Congratulations to Rockdale County, thank you to Elections Director Cynthia Willingham
N
By Ruth A. Wilson Clerk of Court
ow that the 2018 mid-term elections are over, let’s see how we did. Georgia had a great turnout at 61.44% but Rockdale’s participation was even greater at 63.01%. This is democracy at work and we should all be grateful to live in a country where we have the right to vote. That right has been paid for with the lives, blood, sweat, tears and hard work of many a patriot. Our vote and an effective and fair election system can never be taken for granted. It must be protected and regularly inspected by those who are charged with protecting this essential right and instrument of citizenship. Now take a look around the rest of the state and the rest of the country.
Some do not have quite as much to brag about or to take comfort in. We in Rockdale are fortunate to have a local Unsung Sheroe named Cynthia Willingham who faithfully serves as our Supervisor of Elections. She and her small staff of five never miss a beat. We have had not one hint of scandal. No drama. No missing ballots or late submissions. No miscalculations or misstatements. Nada. We should not take the superb work of this fine public servant for granted. When asked to share her secret sauce for success, she sums it up as Team Work. Her Team starts with motivated voters, served by a dedicated staff, supported by the funding of the Board of Commissioners and watched over by the Board of Elections under the
leadership of Rev. Al Sadler, Board Chair. Ms. Willingham places a high priority on keeping voters informed, for example, placing the ballot in the water bill. She makes herself available to speak to community groups and to conduct training. She is proud of the extra effort and the checks and balances that result in Stellar Service to the voting public. She says the best indication she has that she is doing a good job is that her name is NEVER the headline. Enough said. Throughout each month, the clerk of courts, tax commissioner, sheriff and probate judge—Rockdale’s elected constitutional officers—discuss topics relevant to their respective roles.
