Growing school safety concerns prompt precinct changes in Rockdale By Valerie J. Morgan
R
ockdale County voters will no longer cast their election ballots at school precincts. The county is taking voting out of schools and Supervisor of Elections moving precincts Cynthia Welch to other locations effective May 22, when the General Primary and non-partisan elections will be held. Supervisor of Elections Cynthia Welch said the Board of Elections and Voter Registration approved the moves to ensure the safety of students and staff. Although the moves come in the wake of the recent mass high school shooting in Parkland, Florida that claimed 17 lives, Rockdale has been working on a plan since last summer, Welch said. “Last July, we formed a committee comprised of three members from the public and two of my staff members to address the issue of safety,” said Welch. “We were concerned about protecting students and teachers. Normally, the doors at our schools are locked, but on Election Day, they must remain open. There was a concern that with so many people coming in, someone could wander down a hall. The board did not feel that it was safe to continue operating this way.” Welch said that while security during elections has not been a problem in Rockdale, the county wants to do everything it can to

DeKalb BOC’s $1.2 billion budget includes pay raises, rainy day fund
T
he DeKalb County Board of Commissioners (BOC) adopted a $1.2 billion amended budget for 2018 in a 6-1 vote on Feb. 27. The budget includes pay raises for county employees who haven’t had an increase since 2016, increases for minimum wage earners and raises for the board. The budget also ends deficit spending and creates a $75 million rainy day fund. DeKalb CEO Michael Thurmond commended the board for its approval, saying the county is finally solving problems that have plagued the county for years. “DeKalb County’s fiscal house is now in order and we are solving problems that have festered for years, if not for decades,” CEO Thurmond said. “We have worked collaboratively with the Board of Commissioners to improve the quality of life in DeKalb.” Some residents, however, were not happy about the proposed salary increases commissioners approved for themselves. During public comments, three frequent critics spoke. Citizen Joe Arrington told commissioners they should put things in proper perspective and spend more on police salaries. “I’m not against y’all having an increase in pay… but I think you need to take into consideration that you don’t have a boss, you’re not full time, the only thing you have to do is pass a budget and hear zoning requests. That’s pretty good… for a little better than $40,000 a year... But I want you to put it down besides what a policeman makes and if you think you’re twice as valuable as a policeman, by all means, vote yourself a raise,” said Arrington. Faye Coffield, another resident, agreed, calling salaries for the county’s public safety workers a “disgrace.” “…You have the nerve to say

that you could not live off of $40,000 but you expect police and firefighters to live off of it as their main source of income,” said Coffield. The starting pay for DeKalb Police officers is $38,000. Jerry Jackson, who was wearing a red Santa Claus cap, said the commissioners’ pay raise “stumps the imagination.” The disabled military veteran said he survives off of about $1,700 a month. Ed Williams said he would favor salary increases for the board only if there were office term limits, stating that some board members have been in office for over a decade. “We have commissioners that are serving 10, 18, 20 years,” said Williams. DeKalb Commissioner Jeff Rader, who is Presiding Officer, said the BOC last received a raise in 2004. Here are highlights of the proposed budget: • Salary increases from $40,530 to $62,000 annually for the BOC and $162,120 to $166,478 for the CEO, effective January 2019. • Raises for all county employees whose salaries have not been adjusted since 2016 with a 3 percent increase in pay. • Establishing a minimum wage of $14 per hour for all full-time and regular part-time employees.
• Preventing juvenile delinquency by using DeKalb recreation centers, libraries and WorkSource DeKalb to offer opportunities such as youth employment, afterschool programs and outreach to multilingual communities. • Improving customer service for residents using county services. Residential property owners will see lowered taxes from the passage of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) in 2017. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the penny tax, or $100 million, annually, will go toward reducing residential property taxes in DeKalb County and the 12 cities wholly contained in the county. In addition, $100 million in SPLOST funds will be allocated annually to repair and improve roads, bridges, libraries and senior citizen centers. Commissioners modified the CEO budget proposal by adding funding for: • An employee salary increase from the CEO’s proposed two percent to the approved three percent • Infant mortality programs • Substance abuse efforts • Programming in senior centers • Five additional positions in the juvenile court • One position for magistrate court associated with blight efforts • Increasing the pay for grand jurors • Wellness programs in parks and recreation

Love Rolls
DeKalb exceeds goal in toilet paper drive to help the needy
K
endall Robinson, 17, is on a roll. DeKalb County employees and residents teamed up to help Robinson collect rolls of toilet paper for the homeless during a February drive sponsored by the office of DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond. DeKalb County collected 7,000 rolls exceeding its goal of collecting 3,000 rolls of toilet paper for Love Rolls, Inc., a nonprofit that Robinson founded. The toilet paper was collected at several locations throughout DeKalb County from Feb. 12 to Feb. 23. Various county departments, along with the offices of District Attorney Sherry Boston and Solicitor-General Donna Coleman-Stribling. Additionally, Cedar Grove High School, DeKalb High School of Technology-South and Cedar Grove and Flat Shoals elementary schools participated in the drive. “The county is pleased to support a project that addresses one of the most basic needs for humans,” CEO Thurmond said. “Our donation helps The Love Rolls project restore and protect the dignity of the homeless, needy and those who have gone through a natural disaster.” Robinson said she was inspired to start Love Rolls, Inc. after volunteering at the Youth Summit hosted by the
Atlanta Community Food Bank in 2015. “A homeless man shared with me how he would have to ration out one roll of toilet paper to make it last a whole month,” said Robinson. “Toilet paper is a luxury that a lot of people take for granted.” Robinson’s younger sister, Kaylin, and other volunteers pitched in to accept and distribute the donations, which are stored in a donated warehouse. Love Rolls, which has gained national attention, has collected more than 225,000 rolls of toilet paper to homeless individuals and others in need as well as those impacted by natural disasters. The nonprofit donates the toilet paper to community ministries and other nonprofits that serve those in need. Robinson said her goal is to collect 1 million rolls of toilet paper. Costco, Marriott hotels, and Scott toilet paper have been major sponsors for Love Rolls, Inc. Robinson received a letter from President Barack Obama honoring her efforts. George’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp also honored Robinson and her sister with the Georgia Citizen Award for their community service. Robinson, who will be presented a proclamation for “Love Rolls Day in

Rockdale unveils outdoor mural at historic J.P. Carr Gym Rockdale County officials unveiled an outdoor mural on Feb. 27 at the historic J.P. Carr Gymnasium, located at 90 Hardin Street, Conyers. The Georgia Council for the Arts awarded Rockdale County Parks and Recreation a $5,000 Vibrant Communities Grant to fund the Rockdale Youth Mural Exhibit. Artist Immanuel Reed created the image, which reflects the historical significance of Rockdale’s African American community. The J. P. Carr Gym is built on the former site of the J.P. Carr School, which was opened for African-American students in Rockdale during segregation. The facility is named after brick mason, John Philip Carr, a prominent leader in the black community who donated the land in 1950 to replace the school after it was destroyed by fire. Students from Rockdale County Public Schools assisted with the mural. “We are grateful to all who helped with this design,” said Jason Redmond, Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation Operations. “The mural is something unique for the community.” A second mural will be unveiled at the Milstead Park splash pad in a few months.

Parenting in the age of social media By Sheriff Eric J. Levett Parenting has changed drastically in the past decade. Instead of dinner bells bringing children home, they now have cell phones. Social media has become an obsession and a favorite past time. With the changes in technology, changes in parenting become necessary. You can keep your child safe in the social media age with a few tips to help you stay up to speed with today’s technology and your child’s plugged-in world. First and foremost, for parents to be able to help, it is important that they understand how technology works and accept that it is a big part of young people’s lives. As cyber bullying situations continue to increase, parents must know how to operate and monitor apps, social media networks and various technology to ensure that their children are acting appropriately and that they are treated respectfully in what is a 24/7 public environment. Although social media is extremely important to your child, it doesn’t mean they should have full reign. Parents should never grant kids access to social media without guiding their kids, they
need to understand technology and online services. I believe in parents spending time educating themselves, combined with frequent conversations between parent and child about the use of technology in general and use of specific services in particular. Next, monitoring your child’s social media use can be a positive experience. Use technology as an opportunity to learn something new from your children and brush up on your own skills. Being the father of two kids both using technology, I use mobile app alerts that provide information on which social media applications my children are downloading. When I see that they have installed apps I either don’t know much about or that I’m worried about (such as Snap Chat or

Instagram), I make a point of having a good conversation about these services. They teach me a lot about technology and the services while we talk about how things can be used for good or bad. These conversations can help to create trust between a parent and a child and allow opportunities to talk about how the internet can be used to harm others and how to react in those situations. With our frequent talks on tech, I am able to show that I’m both interested and involved in their digital lives. I believe we have fostered an atmosphere where they will feel safe to tell me if something bad is happening. Finally, there are three apps that you can download onto your kids’ phones right now that will enable you to monitor not just your child’s web history, but also every text, every phone call... even their exact location. Net Nanny allows you to control your kids’ internet activity remotely. Not only can you choose specific websites that you want blocked on your kids’ phones; you can also block types of websites, such as ones involving dating, nudity, pornography or tobacco. You can also set it so that you will get a warning if your child
types in a certain keyword, such as “suicide.” SecureTeen does even more: It gives your kids call logs, which means you know who your kids are calling, and who’s calling them. It even enables you to read your kids’ text messages. TeenSafe may be the most advanced of all. Not only does it track text messages and calls; it also pinpoints your child’s exact GPS location instantly. And these apps are not just for smartphones: The apps also have desktop versions that can be installed right onto your kids’ laptops or computers to monitor their online activity under your own roof. In the end, open and honest communication with your kids is the key to helping them stay safe and affording them the knowledge that they can trust and depend on you. And if my kids succumb to risky behaviors, I will do my best to protect them — from both themselves and the Internet. 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
