MARTA: Crime down, 10,000 suspended for violating riding rules

MARTA Police say the department has seen a 27 percent decline in crime, attributing the drop to several safety initiatives and its “Ride With Respect” program. MARTA officials gave an overview of those initiatives at a March 29 roundtable
with media representatives. MARTA Police Chief Wanda Dunham said the “Part 1 crimes,” the tier that includes murders, rapes and assaults, were lower than the department has seen in the past five years, despite four homicides this fiscal year.
Dunham said suspects had been arrested in all four of the homicides. A big part of the success in lowering crime, Dunham said, has to do with the 10,000 cameras watching every move on MARTA’s buses and trains. In January, for example, detectives were able to quickly track down and arrest the rider who stabbed a panhandler who had asked him for money after reviewing surveillance from cameras. The installation of the cameras, which began in 2014, was completed last year. The $22 million program was funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security and MARTA. Dunham said a greater police presence and MARTA’s app, which allows riders to use their cell phones to report suspicious activity and disturbances, also are deterring crime. Dunham said the app has had more than 26,000 downloads so far. Additionally, through the Ride With Respect program, 10,049 people displaying what CEO Keith Parker called “knuckle-head” behavior have been suspended from riding MARTA since the program was launched in 2013. About half of the suspensions, officials said, were due to fare evasion. Parker said he hopes to
send the message that bad behavior will not be tolerated and “If you commit a crime on MARTA, you’re going to be caught.” Parker said the steppedup safety initiatives have made MARTA among the safest transit systems in the country. Parker said he cares deeply about customers’ safety because his own family members use MARTA and he believes in listening and responding to the community’s needs. “We want everyone who rides MARTA to feel safe,” said Parker. “We want this region to be one of the worst places to commit a crime.”
Lary sworn in as Stonecrest mayor, Clanton and Cobble take oaths for City Council
J
ason Lary was sworn into office as the new mayor of Stonecrest on March 27 in a private ceremony at the Stonecrest Library. The ceremony was held immediately after the DeKalb Board of Elections certified the results of the elections that same evening. Judge Ronald Ramsey performed the swearing-in ceremony for Lary as well as the two who were elected to the Stonecrest City Council on March 21: Jimmy Clanton, the winner of the District 1 race, and Jazzmin Cobble, who was elected to represent District 3. Lary said plans are under way for a public swearing-in ceremony that will include himself, Clanton, Cobble and the three run-
off winners. Runoffs will be held on April 18 for City Council seats 2, 4 and 5. Lary defeated Charles Hill and Doug Favors in the three-way race with 52.20 percent of the vote. Hill placed second in the contest with, earning 39.4 percent of the vote while Favors came in third with 8 percent. Lary said he is formulating community commission committees that will be responsible for providing leadership in several areas including beautification, Veterans Affairs and other needs. “I want to continue the work that we started before the referendum was passed by Jason Lary is sworn in as his wife, Debbi, holds the Bible and looks on. engaging citizens in the city,” Lary said.

Steen “News Lady” Miles passes
Aug. 20, 1946- March 29, 2017
By Valerie J. Morgan The Atlanta community is mourning the loss of Ollisteen “Steen” Miles, a former state senator and well-respected journalist. She died on March 29 at
the age of 70. She courageously fought cancer, sharing her journey through a Facebook support group, “Cancer, You Picked the Wrong Chick.” Miles was a former reporter for WXIA-TV and The Champion newspaper. Miles worked as chief media relations officer for MARTA in 2001, and in 2003, she hosted the talk show, “Faith in the City Forum,” bringing together leaders of diverse faiths to discuss public policy and current events. Miles, a Democrat, was elected state senator for District 43 in 2005. She ran for DeKalb CEO in 2000 and 2008. She was a candidate for Lt. Governor in 2006. In 2014, she ran for the U. S. Senate, according to her biography on several Internet sites. Rockdale County Tax Commissioner Tisa Smart Washington remembered Miles as a mentor. “Throughout my years of know-
ing her, she was always willing to pour into young women. She was a giving person. She was always very professional and polished,” said Washington. “When I decided to run for office, she was very encouraging. This was special to me. When you’re a woman and decide to run for office for the first time, it’s amazing what women who have walked that path have faced. The thing that I admired most about her is that she was always concerned about what she could do to make the community better.” “Steen Miles was already a legend when I met her,” Elaine Nickens Davis, former chair of the Rockdale Democratic Party, shared in a Facebook post. “I was amazed at her ability to absorb information and to feed it back in a way that let you know right away that she “got it.” A true professional, it may be awhile before we see her special
kind of “light” again.” Publicist Angela Moore, who said she made sure that Miles was honored recently at DeKalb Commissioner Gregory Adams’ Hidden Figures Awards program, said she was thankful that she and Miles were photographed together at Miles’ 70th birthday party. “It’s funny, I have taken pictures with presidents and kings, First Ladies and queens, and all in between from hither and beyond, but the people closest to you, you never think to take precious memories with. If it were not for Kellie, Steen’s daughter taking a selfie at her 70th birthday bash just 7 months ago, I would not have this... This will have to suffice as my treasure of all time,” Moore said. Miles lived in Decatur. She is survived by two daughters, Kellie and Heather, as well as two grandchildren, William and Kellea.

Macedonia Baptist Church celebrates retired mortgage
T
he historic Macedonia Baptist Church in Conyers marked a milestone recently. The congregation, under the leadership of Pastor Billie Boyd-Cox, celebrated the retirement of its mortgage on March 26. “We thank God for helping provide the vision for us to do it. I prayed and said, ‘God, we can’t get to our future, as long as we have our past holding us back.’ He told me to use what we have just as the woman in the Bible who had only a cup of oil followed Elisha’s instructions to use what she had to pay her debts,” said Pastor Cox. Pastor Cox said she used the church’s fellowship hall to inspire her congregation of about 200 members to launch a three-year capital campaign to pay off about $70,000. She asked members to pitch in and “buy” as many square feet of the building as they chose for about $327 a square foot. The pledges worked and the
congregation paid off the debt in 18 months. “They were inspired and caught on to the vision and we raised the money faster than expected. We have a lot of members who are on fixed incomes so this has truly been a blessing,” said Pastor Cox, who has a background in finance and residential mortgages. “Our banker sent us a congratulatory letter. He said it was a great accomplishment because you
don’t see too many churches that pay off their mortgages. We just praise God for the vision.” Pastor Cox was appointed to lead Macedonia in September 2012. She was the first woman to take the helm of the church, which was founded in 1873. Macedonia is located at 1052 Barton St., Conyers.

A
Elderly jewel thief pleads guilty to theft at DeKalb store
An internationally-known jewel thief has admitted to stealing a high-priced necklace from a Dunwoody department store. During court proceedings March 29, 86-year-old Doris Payne pleaded guilty to a felony count of theft by shoplifting. She was sentenced to three years’ probation to serve 30 days in custody, which was reduced to time-served. Payne was also ordered to serve 120 days on house arrest by DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Linda Hunter, who preDoris Payne sided over the case. The shoplifting incident occurred on Dec. 3, 2016 at the Von Maur Department store at Perimeter Mall. Payne was captured on surveillance video placing a $1,995 Lagos necklace in her coat pocket moments after viewing several items of jewelry with a sales associate. Loss prevention officers stopped her prior to her exiting the store. Payne quickly discarded the necklace in a trashcan before being questioned by security. Payne has a lengthy criminal history involving various theft crimes dating back to the 1960s. At the time of her DeKalb County arrest, she was on probation for a theft conviction in California and was awaiting trial for a 2015 theft charge in Fulton County. Defendant Payne was arrested on a bench warrant on March 13, 2017 after failing to appear for an arraignment hearing the previous week. According to the terms of her plea agreement, Payne is banned from all Von Maur stores and all DeKalb County malls, including Perimeter. Assistant District Attorney Drew Shumate prosecuted the case. Officer M. Pham of the Dunwoody Police Department led the initial investigation.

Rent-to-Own Heating & Air Program Expands to Rockdale, Clayton and DeKalb Counties
T
he National Sustainable Energy Group (NSEG) has expanded its Rent-To-Own, Heating and Air Conditioning Program for homeowners in Rockdale, Clayton and DeKalb County. The program has 5000 slots available. Over 350 homeowners have been assisted in DeKalb County. We have recruited additional NATE/EPA Certified heating and air contractors to keep pace with the call volume said Percy Brooks, CEO of the NSEG. It’s truly amazing for $89.95 a month a homeowner will not have to suffer the hot and humid high 80’s and 90 degree temperatures this summer said Brooks. Qualification for approval: Homeowner property taxes must be current. Monthly payments range from $89.95 to $109.95 depending on the size of the heating & air conditioning unit and upgrades. All Goodman heating and air units come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Approval and installation can be completed within 5 business
days. We are extremely honored to be able to assist so many homeowners that had given up on securing consumer financing to purchase a heating and air conditioning unit. We view this alternative option as one of the finest in the country said Brooks. I’m sure that we will exceed our goal of assisting 5000 homeowners across the Metro Atlanta area. We are expecting to see a record high of 50+ days of temperatures in the high 80’s and 90’s this summer season. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for homeowners. Our customer testimonials have been heartfelt said Brooks. The program meets the EPA requirements for the new R-410A refrigerant upgrades. It also improves the quality of life and increases property value for homeowners. Our major objective is to share our program among the Faith-based community and Homeowners
Associations (HOA’s) said Brooks. We needed an alternative option for homeowners with less than perfect credit, who paid their property taxes on time, but couldn’t obtain traditional consumer financing for heating & air service. We all hit speed bumps in life. Our typical client has lived in their home for an average of 12+ years said Brooks. Energy home improvements are among the most expensive home improvement projects for homeowners said Brooks. There are over 120,000 homeowners without heating & air service and over 700,000 units working at less than 40% capacity or less. We see this as an excellent opportunity for homeowners to rent and relax. Phone Number: 404-220-8719 percybrooks.meb@live.com www.hvachomesystem.com Paid advertisement
“Wall That Heals” traveling exhibit dedicated in Georgia By Ceasar Gaiters President of the South DeKalb Rotary Club
J
OHNS CREEK— More than 100 people attended the March 30 dedication for “The Wall that Heals,” a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, located in Washington, D.C. The dedication in Fulton County was held a day after the observance of Vietnam Veterans Day in Georgia. As president of the South DeKalb Rotary Club, I had the opportunity to join several Rotarians from around the state, the Johns Creek Veterans Association, elected officials and veterans from all branches of service at the traveling exhibit’s dedication. Mike Robie, Commissioner of Veterans Services for the state of Georgia, and Roger Wise, an ambassador for Gov. Nathan Deal, helped to dedicate the exhibit and honor Sgt. Major Bennie G. Adkins, who received a medal of honor from President Barack Obama for his heroism in Vietnam. Despite being wounded, Adkins fought and helped lead the group of surviving soldiers through the jungle for 38 hours until they could be rescued by helicopter. Adkins, the keynote speaker at the dedication, told his amazing story at the dedication. It let me know how they had to persevere. They didn’t know if they would make it back home. We should all be proud of their sacrifice and honor them. You can hear the full transcript of
Adkins’ story and Medal of Honor citation can viewed at: https://www.army.mil/ medalofhonor/adkins/?from=features_bar. I want people to go and visit the wall, which also includes a mobile education center, and the Veterans Memorial Walk at Newtown Park in Johns Creek. The memorial honors every conflict involving the U.S. It’s fascinating history. I am planning to take my son, Solomon, who is 16. I want him to see how the Vietnam and other conflicts are documented at the park. This is a tribute to the sacrifice that our service men and women have made for us to live freely and we need to share this information with our children. The U.S. military was involved in Vietnam for 25 years--from 1950 to 1973. During that time, 153,000 Americans were wounded and
over 58,000 lost their lives as a result of the war. According to military officials, 500,000 American troops were in combat at one point, including 228,000 Georgians. The Wall That Heals Traveling Exhibit will be in Johns
Creek through April 2. The next stop in Georgia will be Oct. 19-22 in the city of Metter at the Candler Chamber of Commerce. The exhibit will travel to Inverness, Florida, where it will be hosted by the Wallace Brooks Park on
April 13-17; Wickham Park in Melbourne, Florida will host the exhibit on April 30-May 7 ; and from May 17-23 Jackson Harley Davidson in Jackson, Mississippi will host the exhibit.
