Turner’s challenge to Hector’s age was unconstitutional. He argued that since the Stonecrest charter did not specify any age requirement to serve but instead stated that a candidate shall be 18, Hector met the qualifications. “It is really unfortunate that women and minorities are still fighting for access to the ballot,” said Arrington. Hector said she decided to run after fellow students and peers encouraged her. She said they were disappointed with the results of the Presidential election and thought about ways they could make a difference on a local level.
“We need to be more involved in the political process and do more than just register people to vote and actually start running for office. We want to be the change we wish to seek,” said Hector. “I have heard my elders say ‘wait your turn.’ It’s shocking because all my life, I’ve done nothing but serve my community. I think it’s a time for change, a time for a breath of fresh air. Isn’t that what Stonecrest was supposed to be about?” said Hector. Hector is pursuing a double major in Political Science and Comparative Women’s studies at Spelman College in Atlanta.
DeKalb District Attorney Sherry Boston dismisses retrial for Burrell Ellis
T
here will be no retrial in the Burrell Ellis case. DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston announced at a Feb. 6 press conference that she had signed the order to dismiss the case against the former DeKalb CEO. She said she reviewed the case and there was no need for a retrial. Superior Court Judge Courtney Johnson granted Boston’s request to dismiss the case. Attorney Dwight Thomas, part of Ellis’ legal team, said that Boston “did the right thing. She did the honorable thing. It’s finally over.” The decision is one that Ellis had been waiting for since the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously overturned his conviction on Nov. 30. The high court said Ellis wasn’t given a fair trial because testimony that could have helped clear him was prohibited. Ellis maintained his innocence throughout the
ordeal. Ellis was reinstated and returned to office for a few weeks in December, just ahead of Michael Thurmond’s January installation as DeKalb’s new CEO. Ellis had been suspended from office since July 2013 after facing criminal charges for allegedly trying to extort campaign contributions from county vendors. Ellis had two trials, the first ending in a hung jury in 2014. Ellis was retried and found guilty in 2015 of attempted extortion and perjury. Ellis served eight months in prison and appealed his sentence to the Georgia Supreme Court. After the high court overturned Ellis’ conviction, Robert James, who was leaving office as DeKalb’s D.A., said he would not decide if Ellis should be retried. He said the new D.A. should make the decision.

Washington connects with stakeholders at first Tea Talk Rockdale County Commissioner Sherri Washington said she plans to push for better ways to promote County meetings, town halls and other activities that impact Rockdale residents. Washington said she would work with her fellow commissioners to make marketing a priority after constituents who her attended her first community “Tea Talk” on Tuesday asked if additional resources could be used to inform residents of upcoming events. Washington fielded several questions during the 45-minute meeting, which was held at Awake Coffee right before the Board of Commissioners work session. Washington also got feedback on a critical proposal that the Board of Commissioners is considering: Should the public comments during board meetings be restricted to agenda items only. Those attending Tea Talk said they would not be in favor of such a proposal because someone may have a pressing issue they wish to discuss that is not on the agenda. Washington shared the comments at the board’s work session and the board decided to work on restructuring the decorum for the meeting. Washington said concerns have arisen over verbal attacks being unfairly made on board members and others. “There was some concern that people were just grand standing to be on television, rather than being constructive,” Washington said.
Josie Dean, a community activist, said that she does not believe the board should take any steps to “silence” the community. Dean did not attend the Tea Talk but said she spoke at the board’s work session and told the board she didn’t think it was right for them to suppress public opinion. “Being criticized comes with the territory of being a public official,” said Dean who likened the board’s consideration to what President Trump is doing nationally to the media. Washington said county officials are going to review the conduct for meetings and look at ways to improve it without restricting the public from speaking on only what’s on the agenda. At the Tea Talk Washington asked residents to consider supporting spending to
build a new judicial complex. The existing building, she said, is outdated and inadequate. “We’re going to have to replace it. We cannot continue trying to patch it up,” she said. Washington said she believes the first Tea Talk was successful and accomplished just what she intended. “I thought that it was a great turnout for the first one. It was good to see new faces, people I had never seen before,” said Washington. I want to continue hearing from constituents.” Washington said she plans to host the Tea Talks on the first and second Tuesdays just ahead of the board meeting. The next Tea Talk is scheduled Feb. 14.
DeKalb homeowners conserving, taking advantage of rebates for low-flow toilets Last year, the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management (DWM) Toilet Retrofit Rebate Program sent rebate checks totaling $183,563 to homeowners who replaced older toilets with new efficient WaterSense-approved models. In 2016 alone, more than 1,200 homeowners took advantage of the program, which has paid a total of $2.6 million in rebates since it began in 2008. “Water conservation is a big deal because DeKalb is one of 52 counties that remain under a Level 2 Drought in Georgia,” said DWM Direc-
tor Scott Towler. “Not only do low-flow toilets save water, which is a high priority for all of us in Georgia, but a family of four would also save $100 or so every year on its water and sewer bills.” Homes built before 1993 may have toilets that use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush (GPF). The DeKalb toilet rebate program offers homeowners a rebate of up to $100 for replacing their current toilets with 1.28 GPF WaterSense-approved devices. To qualify for the rebate program: • The house must have been constructed before 1993 and served by an individual water
meter. • The homeowner must complete and sign the rebate application. • The homeowner must submit the original purchase receipt of the toilet, or low-flow certification form if installed by a licensed plumber, within 60 days of purchase. Applications and additional information about the Toilet Retrofit Rebate Program, updated outdoor water conservation tips and other information about DWM can be found at www.dekalbwatershed.com.

State seeks sponsors for summer food program Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL) is looking for eligible organizations to sponsor the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) in their communities in 2017. The SFSP, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), provides access to healthy meals to children during the summer months when school is not in session. DECAL administers the SFSP in Georgia. The SFSP reimburses non-profit and government organizations for providing free meals to eligible children in low-income areas during the summer months. The following entities can qualify as sponsors: public or private nonprofit schools; universities, colleges or camps; units of local government; private nonprofit organizations, including faith-based organizations considered tax exempt by the IRS. Sponsors can operate the program and feed children at various sites such as schools, churches, recreation centers, community and migrant centers, and other areas where children congregate. Mobile meal sites are also an option for sponsors – particularly in rural areas of the state. “Access to healthy meals and snacks during the summer when school is out is critical to the continued well-being and growth of Georgia’s children,” said DECAL’s Nutrition Services Director, Falita Flowers. “Without the institutions that serve as sponsoring organizations for the SFSP, children may not receive nutritious meals during the summer. The SFSP and those organizations that partner with us are integral to abating childhood hunger when school is not in session.” Sponsors receive training and support relating to the application process; setting up and operating a successful SFSP; and nutrition education. They also receive technical assistance while the program is operating. For more information on becoming an SFSP sponsor, visit http://decal. ga.gov/SFSP/BecomingASponsor.aspx or call toll free at 1-855-550-7377 or e-mail SFSP@decal.ga.gov.
DeKalb offers fire safety forum for churches Church fires are a serious problem in America. There are measures that can be taken to prevent fires in places of worship. When churches burn, the contents and valuables that are lost are priceless articles that cannot be replaced. Reducing a church vulnerability to arson or fire is important. The DeKalb County Fire Rescue Department is hosting” Faith in Fire Safety: Preventing Fires in Church and Worship Centers Forum” on Feb. 21, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The forum will be held at the DeKalb County fire Rescue Headquarters, 5th floor conference room, 1950 West Exchange Place, Tucker. Fire rescue personnel will provide information on the following: • Fire safety • Arson prevention • Fire marshal inspections • Fire safety requirements for properties that operate childcare programs The forum is free and open to clergy, leadership members, church administrators and maintenance personnel, and child care administrators. Lunch, sponsored by SafeKids of DeKalb County, will be provided to attendees. To register for the forum, contact Kristi Hill at 770-414-2124 or kdhill@dekalbcountyga.gov by February 20, 2017.
Town Hall set: “The Kingdom of God Over A Trump Administration” The community is invited to a town hall meeting, “The Kingdom of God Over A Trump Administration,” on Friday, Feb. 24, 7 p.m., at the Jimmie Lee Smith Community Center, 5883 Highway 155 North, Stockbridge. There will be a panel discussion with community leaders, state lawmakers, county officials, faith leaders and others. Bishop Ruth W. Smith and Pastor Zichri Osler encourages the community to attend this important forum. For more information: 678-565-7001.
Sen. Emanuel Jones introduces bills concerning school discipline State Sen. Emanuel Jones said he is introducing legislation aimed at updating and modernizing our school discipline procedures. Jones said he plans to call for the creation of a Student Resource Officer Code of Conduct, a guide that would be distributed to Student Resource Officers (SRO). Student Resource Officers play an important role in public schools by ensuring the safety of the students and staff who attend our schools, as well as Emanuel Jones providing students a safe outlet to voice any concerns. “By implementing uniform procedures and codes of conduct, we give our SROs the training and guidance necessary to carry out their duties efficiently and safely,” Jones said. “I am also introducing legislation which would require all Student Resource Officers to be POST certified. Certification from POST (Police Officer Standards Training) is required of any individual seeking to become a law enforcement officer. Because there is so much overlap between the duties of a typical law enforcement officer and an SRO, it would be highly beneficial for SRO’s to meet the same high standards expected of our police officers.” Jones said the third bill he is sponsoring is modeled after legislation he introduced last year as Senate Bill 328, which would prohibit students who are under compulsory attendance from going to alternative education programs for more than two semesters. Georgia law currently requires disruptive students be sent to alternative education programs instead of being expelled or suspended from school. This bill received bipartisan support and passed the Senate during last year’s legislative session. The final bill in Jones’ package will be legislation pertaining to boards of education having the capability to initiate and defend themselves from civil actions. “ There have been a number of incidences in both Henry County and Dooly County that have caught my attention over the last year involving civil actions directed at our schools, with one case appealing all the way to the Supreme Court,” Jones said. “This bill will allow for greater transparency between our government and Georgia’s boards of education and I hope to see it pick up support throughout the Senate. “ Jones said these bills will increase the safety of public schools and ensure that students can receive the best education possible.

City of Atlanta to host inaugural “Aglanta Conference”
The City of Atlanta will host its inaugural “Aglanta Conference” to showcase urban and controlled environment agriculture innovation in the City of Atlanta. The Mayor’s Office of Sustainability has partnered with Blue Planet Consulting, a firm specializing in urban agriculture projects, to bring together restaurateurs, grocers, architects, entrepreneurs, technologists, business owners and urban farmers to network, share best practices and establish partnerships. The conference will take place on Feb. 19 at the Georgia Railroad Freight Depot, and aims to help foster Atlanta’s growth as a central hub in the nation’s annual $9 billion indoor farming industry. “We are excited about the inaugural Aglanta Conference and expect more than 200 industry leaders to attend,” said Mario Cambardella, the City of Atlanta Urban Agriculture Director. “The City of Atlanta recognizes the positive health and community outcomes of urban agriculture and will use this conference to foster relationships and partnerships which can ultimately help us meet our goals of bringing local, healthy food within a half-mile of 75 percent of all Atlanta residents by year 2020.” In December 2015, Mayor Kasim Reed appointed Cambardella as the city’s first ever Urban Agriculture Director. Atlanta is one of a few cities in the nation with an Urban Agriculture Director, dedicated to working on food access generating policy, advocacy, and development. The Aglanta Conference will create an environment for participants to engage with a local, national and international audience. Through workshops, lectures, and networking sessions, the conference will cover issues across the spectrum of urban agriculture business models and technologies, with a particular focus on the emerging field of vertical and indoor farming. During the conference, the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability will spotlight local champions already doing incredible work growing food as means of ecological restoration, social cohesion, cultural preservation, economic development and biopharmaceutical development. Partners for the conference include the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Georgia Power, Indoor Farms of America and Tower Farms.
