Do the DeKalb County Grand Jury presentments show probable cause on the entire DeKalb criminal justice system?

Several months ago I was looking on-line for DeKalb County Grand Jury Presentments and couldn't find them, therefore, I requested the last year and a half from District Attorney Sherry Boston and she provided me what I requested.  Sherry is a former City of Dunwoody municipal judge who is coming up on her one year anniversary of being our County D.A. and I think very highly of her and the difficult job she does for all the citizens of DeKalb.  Ms. Boston who champions government transparency has stated that they are redoing the D.A. website and she will consider posting these important documents on line every other month as they come available.

DeKalb citizens are asked to serve on a grand jury for several months for little pay, in what appers to be uncomfortable circumstances and are asked to make tough law enforcement decisions where they are sometimes very ill-informed to do so.

By these reports written by everyday citizens of this county, it appears that all aspects of our criminal justice system in DeKalb County may be underfunded, may need better oversight and various process changes to improve its efficiency and effectiveness.

I am publishing these presentment reports not to embarrass any one aspect of the criminal justice system in DeKalb but to bring these issues to light so that our DeKalb County Commissioners and the CEO can set proper funding for long-term improvements in the police, the jail and the court systems.   I raise these issues so the Grand Jury members time and efforts are not wasted in vain, so that the world is aware that these common citizens have requested in-depth investigations be made into possible improprieties in various DeKalb Departments and that the lack of funding in some aspects of the DeKalb County Criminal Justice System could almost be considered criminal.

Early Voting starts Saturday at the Dunwoody Library - review the ballot in advance.

The City of Dunwoody has contracted (and paid) to have the Dunwoody Library be an early polling place for this election and intends to do so for all future elections.  Early voting starts Saturday 9 am at the library and it is then available from 8 to 5 Monday through Friday.

There are two main items on the ballot, first is the election of your local district city council seat. 

The City of Dunwoody is broken into three voting districts with the lines running North / South, whereby we have District 1 on the far West Side of the city, District 2 in the middle & District 3 on the East side of the city.  Each district has two elected representatives, one elected by only the residents voting in the local district (that is happening this year) and the other elected citywide or at large.  I believe this system works wonderfully as every resident votes for the Mayor and four of the six other city council members.  Four of the seven of us always have to think & vote on issues from a city wide perspective yet there are representatives who are more focused about the specific communities they represent.

In District 1 the election is between the incumbent Pam Tallmadge & Joe Hirsch.
In District 2 the election is between the incumbent Jim Riticher & Bobby Zuckman.
The election in District 3 is between Henry Bierenfeld & Tom Lambert to fill the seat being vacated by incumbent Doug Thompson.

The Dunwoody Crier & the Dunwoody Homeowners Association held a forum where all candidates attended and answered questions - there is a recap here. 

The second item on the ballot is a series of three referendums that when put together, raises sales tax a penny on items other than food and medicine, it lowers our property tax bills, increases money for transportation and it makes permanent the homestead tax freeze.   Mark Niesse of the AJC does a comprehensive overview of the items and I know Senator Fran Miller worked hard with the DeKalb County CEO to put these compromise measures together for the benefit of all jurisdictions and he has an overview in The Crier.

To obtain a sample ballot for yourself to read all of the measures that you will be voting on please visit here or if you would like to see what my ballot (District 3) looks like including all of the referendums, click here but know if you reside in District 1 or 2 your city council choices will be different.

Peachtree Charter - CV Classic 5K to run through the streets of Dunwoody North on Saturday 8:00 am

Neighbors - Forget traffic issues for short race and cheer on the runners!

Join the Dunwoody Rotary, Tuesday October 24, 7 p.m. at the Dunwoody Nature Center to Celebrate World Polio Day

The Rotary Club of Dunwoody Presents: Candle Light Vigil

Oct. 24 - 7:00 PM

Dunwoody Nature Center

On Tuesday, October 24, the Rotary Club of Dunwoody is hosting a Polio Candlelight Vigil at the Dunwoody Nature Center – starting at 7:00 p.m. We are inviting the Dunwoody community, and hope that you can join us with your family and neighbors. The public is welcome to join the Vigil, learn about the history of Polio eradication, be updated on current results, and find out what they can individually do to help in the worldwide effort to eradicate this devastating disease.

Rotary International has been focused on polio eradication since 1985, when they started the Polio Plus initiative. In 1988, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was created, with Rotary partnering with the World Health Organization, the CDC, and UNICEF. A few years ago, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation offered to match 2:1 all funds raised by Rotary – and they renewed their commitment at this year’s Rotary International Convention. Donor governments have also contributed to the efforts to eradicate the disease. The mass vaccination of children, performed by Rotarians and health workers side-by-side around the world, has resulted in a 99.9% reduction in active cases since the 1980’s. To date, Rotary has donated more than $1.7 billion and countless volunteer hours to immunize more than 2.5 million children in 122 countries.

The rate of infection has dropped from 1,000 per day to just 37 cases in 2016. That number is now ten for 2017. As a result, polio is “This Close” to being eradicated. But as long as there is a single case of the live polio virus, no nation is safe. A recent 2017 discovery of a case in Nigeria verified the need for the Initiative to continue its work with a vengeance. Mass tools of communication have been designed to reach persons in areas isolated by conflict, geography, or poverty.

Charter member Bob Mingus was the first Dunwoody Rotarian to donate $1000 to Polio Plus and since then, the Club and Dunwoody Rotarians have donated $111,273 to help eradicate this crippling disease. Robert and Charlene Hall, Roy Wise, and Laura Kann have all been part of national immunization days in India – and it’s exciting to know that India has been six years polio-free. A portion of the funds raised by this year’s RunDunwoody will be used to support Rotary International’s End Polio Now campaign – and we’ll be talking more about how you and the community can be part of the fundraising to finish this important initiative and declare the world Polio Free.

Please think about Donating Today if you are able - Thanks!

Your donation helps Rotary and its partners reach every child with the polio vaccine. Thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, your contribution will be tripled, getting us even closer to a polio-free world.

 NOTICE OF CHANGE OF POLLING PLACES

The DeKalb County Board of Registration and Elections (R&E Board) hereby gives notice to the voters of DeKalb County of the following proposed polling place changes will be effective for the November 7th Municipal/Special Elections and all subsequent elections.

The polling place for the Dunwoody High precinct will be relocated from Dunwoody High School to Kingswood United Methodist Church, located at 5015 Tilly Mill Road, Dunwoody, 30338.

Tuskegee Airmen to be honored during Atlanta Warbird Weekend at PDK Airport on Saturday & Sunday

http://atlantawarbirdweekend.com

The Atlanta Warbird Weekend (AWW) is an annual event dedicated to the remembrance and celebration of the men, women and machines of The Greatest Generation. In metro Atlanta, there are significant historical resources and AWW is the catalyst to bring together the organizations, aircraft and people that keep this history alive and engage families and businesses that want to keep this spirit alive.

EVENT HOURS, SAT & SUN 9:00am-4:00pm
This year, the theme of the 4th Annual Atlanta Warbird Weekend, Oct. 7-8, 2017,
will honor and salute the Tuskegee Airmen.

The Tuskegee Airmen, the first cadet graduates to earn their wings 75 years ago at Tuskegee-- becoming the first black U. S. Army Air Corps pilots, have a rich history that begins in WWII but reaches far beyond those confines. In conjunction with the celebration of the accomplishments of the Tuskegee Airmen, the weekend will also place a focus on the accomplishments of all African-American pilots from WWII to the present.

The Commemorative Air Force Dixie Wing will assemble at Dekalb-Peachtree Airport all the type of airplanes flown by the Tuskegee Airmen. Along with other famous aircraft such as a FG-1D Corsair, SBD-5 Dauntless dive bomber, T-6 Texan, C-46, Stearman bi-planes, Douglas DC-3 and after four years a B-17 Flying Fortress will offer rides and cockpit tours.

Meet WWII Veterans and noted authors, attend a WWII 8th Air Force Fighter Mission Briefing, enjoy 1940’s Hollywood entertainers, visit with WWII reenactors, participate in a photography workshop and attend a dinner symposium with the original Tuskegee Airmen at the 57th Fighter Group restaurant on Saturday evening.

Atlanta Warbird Weekend is a two-day WWII Warbird Rides Event. The weekend holds more than just aircraft rides and cockpit tours. Immerse yourself in the WWII era with historical reenactors, military equipment displays, live 1940’s era music, museum collections, bomber turret displays, meet “Pin-up” girls and get your “smooched” calendars, Warbirds in Review – hear how these rare aircraft defended democracy, book authors and meet members of the Greatest Generation – pilots, gunners, crewman and more!

The Atlanta Warbird Weekend IS NOT an Air show.

DeKalb Sanitation Recycle Bin Trade-In Events for Dunwoody Residents - Brook Run Oct 14 / City Hall Oct 22

The city has coordinated with DeKalb Sanitation to host two recycle bin trade-in events here in Dunwoody on October 14 and on October 22. DeKalb County Sanitation Division is requiring residents to switch to a new standard 35-gallon recycle roll cart (or an upgraded 65-gallon recycle roll cart) to replace the existing 18-gallon bins and 40-gallon bags as part of the residential single-stream recycling program.

Existing subscribers with 18-gallon bins must trade them in by April 30, 2018, for a complimentary 35-gallon roll cart or, for a $15 fee, subscribers can choose a 65-gallon roll cart. Existing subscribers must trade in/return the 18-gallon recycling bin prior to obtaining the complimentary 35-gallon roll cart or the 65-gallon roll cart.

The City of Dunwoody has coordinated with DeKalb Sanitation to offer two bin trade-in events in Dunwoody.

1. Saturday October 14, from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at Brook Run Park (4770 North Peachtree Road, parking lot adjacent to the skate park)

2. Sunday October 22, from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. at Dunwoody City Hall (41 Perimeter Center East, parking lot)

To register for a Dunwoody bin trade-in event please visit the Parks Registration Portal ( https://secure.rec1.com/GA/dunwoody-ga/catalog ). Select the 'DeKalb Sanitation Recycle Bin Trade-in' event tab and then select the event you would like to attend to make your trade-in. You will need to create an account with the Parks Registration Portal. After “Checkout” is complete please View/Print the residential curbside single-stream recycling subscription form and bring that along with cash or check (if you choose to upgrade to the 65-gallon roll cart it will cost $15) to your selected event and DeKalb County Sanitation will handle the swap.

Participants will need to bring in a completed residential curbside single-stream recycling subscription form. The completed form must be presented along with an existing 18-gallon recycling bin for trade-in. Following the bin trade-ins, subscribers can take home a new roll cart or coordinate a roll cart home delivery with the Sanitation Department (delivery estimated at 10 business days.) Only cash or checks will be accepted at the event for payment of the $15 fee for the 65-gallon roll cart upgrade.

Not able to make the two bin trade-in events in Dunwoody? Not to worry, subscribers can also trade-in existing 18-gallon bins in person at the Sanitation Division’s administrative office, 3720 Leroy Scott Drive, Decatur GA 30032.
