The Georgia Department of Transportation 2022 triennial safety audit of MARTA “finds a strong commitment to safety and no major safety gaps or concerns,” according to a news release. The audit examined MARTA's heavy and light rail departments including operations and maintenance, training and communications, and equipment, structures, and signals. As required by the Federal Transit Administration, MARTA maintains and regularly updates an agency safety plan and that plan, along with authority safety procedures and practices are audited every three years through GDOT's State Safety Oversight program. This year's findings show a significant improvement in safety practices in all areas, with only 20 deficiencies and 16 areas of concern identified, compared to close to 100 such findings during the previous audit in 2019. A deficiency is defined as an item that doesn't meet the established safety criteria; an area of concern partially meets those criteria. MARTA will review the audit findings this month and generate a corrective action plan for each item needing attention.  Despite a strong showing in favor of the change, Juneteenth and Veterans Day will not be added to the Sandy Springs Holiday Calendar in 2023. Adoption of the 2023 city calendar was originally proposed on November 15, but the matter was deferred after significant public comment in favor of the addition of Juneteenth and Veterans Day. Mayor and council revisited the discussion at the December 6 meeting. Human Resources Director Jennifer Emery presented two options for the 2023 Holiday Calendar. The first being to add one floating holiday in recognition of Juneteenth and Veterans Day. The floating holiday must be taken within the calendar year. The second option was to make no changes and keep the calendar as it. Mayor Rusty Paul and city council members chose to keep the originally proposed 10 holidays and the floating holiday option. Many residents, once again, spoke in favor of the Juneteenth addition. Councilperson Melody Kelley spoke to the importance of adding Juneteenth, presenting both a factual and personal perspective. According to Kelley, 73% of Georgia cities have adopted Juneteenth and 87% have adopted Veterans Day as a city holiday. The cities include Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon-Bibb, Savannah, Athens, South Fulton, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Warner Robins, Albany, Alpharetta, Marietta and Stonecrest. Kelley also shared memories of her grandfather, who helped raise her, correlating personal memories with the importance of Juneteenth. Michael Pauken has been named Interim Executive Director of the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center at City Springs and will join the team this month. Pauken has served as General Manager/Executive Director of the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie, Illinois, since 2002. The North Shore Center is a 65,000 square foot, two theater complex containing a total of 1,185 seats. The Center has two resident theater companies and partners with several other organizations. More than 400 events and performances are held at the Center in a typical year. During his time at the Center, Pauken brought programming in-house and presented more than 475 international touring and Chicago-based artists including Al Jarreau, Art Garfunkel, Boz Scaggs, Clint Black, Ed Asner, Graham Nash, Herb Alpert and Lani Hall, and the Indigo Girls, to name only a few. A number of Pace Academy and Lovett players were among those selected to the All-Region 5AAAA football team. Leading the way among the local contingent was Pace Academy junior wide receiver Terrence Kiel II, who was named a co-offensive player of the year, along with Hampton senior quarterback Conner Tolley. Four Pace players were selected to the First Team Offense — senior offensive lineman and South Carolina commitment Trovon Baugh, senior quarterback Conner Phelan, senior wide receiver Kendall Evans and sophomore wide receiver Cooper Williams. Lovett junior defensive lineman Christian Bell, senior defensive lineman Noah Claxton, senior linebacker Hayden Bernard, junior linebacker Michael Dollar and senior defensive back Anderson Beavor were named to the First Team defense. Pace junior defensive lineman Hevin Brown-Shuler and senior defensive back Davis Rice were also named to the Second Team defense. Lovett sophomore kicker/punter Conner Deviney was a First Team special teams selection. The Second Team offense included a couple of Lovett players — sophomore running back Kalil Townes and junior wide receiver Luke Wallace — along with Pace Academy senior offensive lineman Kylen Shields. Pace senior linebacker Frank Caldwell III and Lovett sophomore Talen Frett were named to the Second Team defense, while Pace senior kicker/punter Andrew Swann was a Second Team special teams selection.

More than 200 students at Sandy Springs Charter Middle School see the world through new lenses thanks to Sandy Springs Rotary Club and Vision to Learn. The Sandy Springs Rotary Club partnered with Los Angeles-based nonprofit Vision to Learn to provide prescription lenses to nearly 1/3 of students at the middle school during the first phase of distribution. In total, Sandy Springs Rotary Club has purchased more than 800 pairs of glasses for Sandy Springs students. Club members and volunteers spent the mornings of December 7 and 8 handing out glasses to students at Sandy Springs Charter Middle School. Students were briefed on how to take care of their glasses and when to wear them. Vision to Learn was founded in 2012 by Austin Beutner in Northridge, California. He saw the need once he found out that so many students in the Los Angeles area were struggling in school, partly due to not being able to see the board or read clearly. The idea was to bring a vision clinic to the kids (at schools or Boys and Girls Clubs) to access whether they needed glasses and then to provide the proper glasses for them to be able to see and do better in school. As of 2022, Vision to Learn has visited 5000 schools and Boys and Girls Clubs and has provided 350,000 children with glasses. They currently have 50 mobile clinics and over 200 employees working for them.  A large contingent of football players from Marist, North Atlanta, Riverwood and St. Pius X have been honored for their accomplishments on the gridiron in the 2022 season with their selection to the All-Region 4AAAAAA team. North Atlanta won two of the three top awards, with senior quarterback Trey Lennon selected as offensive player of the year and Jamie Aull as coach of the year. St. Pius X senior defensive back Jack Tchienchou was named defensive player of the year. Marist had four players named on offense — junior running back Joseph Pizzo and senior offensive linemen Peyton Lamb, Kevin McDonald and Drew Prieto. Riverwood had three players on offense — senior tight end Levi Linowes, senior running back Walter Evans and sophomore offensive lineman Sean Poret. North Atlanta featured two offensive players — senior wide receiver Jamie O'Kelley and senior offensive lineman Tyree Myles — while St. Pius offensive lineman Jack Woods was the only other local player named to the team on offense. Marist had three of its players selected on defense — junior defensive lineman Luke Harpring, junior defensive back Casey Comerford and senior linebacker Colin Hare, while North Atlanta also featured three defensive players — sophomore defensive lineman Chase Linton, junior defensive back Xaden Benson and junior linebacker Connor Hughes. For a full list of players, please go to the Northside Neighbor website.

Multiple Georgia schools have received hoax threats of an active shooting November 30, including Cambridge High School in Fulton County. According to the Milton Police Department, an unknown source made a 911 call, claiming to be a Cambridge teacher shortly after 11 a.m. Police say the caller claimed shots had been fired at the school. Milton Police contacted Cambridge High's administration, which reported no incidents they were aware of though they did put the school on a hard lockdown. Out of an abundance of caution, officers did a sweep of the school while students remained inside classrooms. Police say they found no indication of shots fired, leaving the campus after determining the 911 call was a hoax. Fulton County Schools also said no weapons were found on campus. FCS spokesperson Brian Noyes said no other FCS schools have received calls Nov. 30. At least six schools across the state received hoax phone calls November 30. At the time of publishing, no shooters or injuries have been reported. The first reports were of a gunman near the Savannah Early College campus. Savannah Mayor Van Johnson said no threats were found, but students were evacuated. Buckhead Heritage Society, the city of Atlanta and Mayor Andre Dickens have restored the historical name of Bagley Park on Pharr Road. Atlanta Councilmember Howard Shook submitted the legislation to reinstate the original name of the park. Atlanta City Council passed it unanimously November 21. In the 1870s, freed slaved founded Mt. Olive African Methodist Episcopal Church off Pharr Road. In 1929, William Bagley purchased six lots there after being forced to flee his 84-acre Forsyth County farm in 1912. He was a well-respected community leader. While developer Frank C. Owens laid out a formal neighborhood that he called Macedonia Park in 1921, the area became known colloquially as Bagley Park. At its peak, around 400 families called Bagley Park home. Black-owned businesses, including a grocery store, a restaurant and a blacksmith, served them. It was also home to several churches, including Mt. Olive Methodist Episcopal Church and an associated cemetery. William Bagley died in 1939, and he and his wife, Ida, are interred in Mt. Olive cemetery. The leading talents behind the Broadway's “Anastasia” are celebrating their touring debuts during the 25th anniversary of the namesake film, “Anastasia.” Twenty-three-year-old Veronica Stern takes the stage as Anya alongside costars Willem Butler, 23, as Dmitry and 32-year-old Ben Edquist as Gleb. Playing as part of Regions Bank Broadway in Atlanta's 2022/2023 season, the Atlanta premiere engagement of “Anastasia” will play December 6 through 11. This journey to the past transports audiences from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family. The leading trio says they were exposed to theatre early on in their lives and immediately fell in love. Stern hails from New York where she grew up going to Broadway musicals and at around 12 years old, attended a performing arts summer camp. Butler said he was around four years old when he saw his brother in theater. Edquist recalls “stealing and eating the prop bagels” backstage of “The Fiddler on the Roof.” The rest is history. Unlike many Broadway musicals, audiences have already met most of the characters thanks to the film. One of the biggest differences, however, is Edquist's character Gleb replacing the movie's villain, Rasputin. Additionally, Butler said he thinks the stage version of Dmitry is grittier and dirtier than the movie version. Audiences get to see more of what he has been through during the revolution. James D. Childs has been selected to succeed Father William Rowland, S.M. as the first lay president in the school's 122-year history. After an extensive global search, Childs was selected as Marist School's next president effective July 1, 2023. Originally from South Bend, Indiana, Childs is the current president at Bishop O'Dowd High School in the Diocese of Oakland, California. He served as O'Dowd's principal from 2016 to 2018 until being appointed president in 2018. During Childs' tenure at O'Dowd, an urban Catholic high school with an enrollment of 1,250, he has provided mission-inspired and charism-charged leadership; completed a successful $40 million capital campaign for the construction of a new building; oversaw $4 million in capital enhancements to the campus; and worked with a dedicated faculty and staff to successfully implement a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum. Prior to O'Dowd, Childs served as president and principal at Mission College Preparatory Catholic in California, and before that as a religion teacher and director of spiritual life at Catholic schools in Indiana and North Carolina. Childs earned a bachelor's degree in English, Philosophy and Theology from the University of Notre Dame, going on to earn a Master of Theological Studies in Systematic Theology. He also holds a Master of Education in Catholic School Leadership from Marymount University. He is the co-author of two books and several articles focused on imaginative teaching of high school religion class. J.D. and his wife, Kate, have four children, ages 21, 18, 15 and 10. The city of Atlanta is investing an additional $9.5 million in increased pay for the city's workforce, including its first responders. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens previously announced a 2% cost-of-living adjustment for city employees, along with enhanced pay and bonuses for public safety and frontline workers, as part of his fiscal year 2023 budget passed in June. City employees will see enhanced cost-of-living adjustments in their paychecks starting in January, with public safety personnel seeing even greater increases to aid in the recruitment and retention of police, corrections and E-911 personnel. The city will increase the planned cost-of-living adjustment from 2% to 3.5%. To aid in the recognition and retention of the City's public safety personnel, the city will make further enhancements, including — A total 9% cost-of-living adjustment for sworn Atlanta Police Department officers and E-911 personnel, 7% higher than previously announced, and coming on top of retention bonuses already awarded this year; A total 7% cost-of-living adjustment for sworn Atlanta Department of Corrections officers, 5% higher than previously announced; and An additional 1.5% cost-of-living adjustment for sworn Atlanta Fire Rescue Department personnel on top of already implemented raises this year which ranged from 7% to 15.5%. City revenues, particularly from sales taxes and business licenses, have outperformed projections, leaving Atlanta with a stronger than expected reserve fund. Even after these investments, the city said it will maintain a healthy reserve fund exceeding requirements.

The All-Metro cross country awards have been presented by the Atlanta Track Club since 1964, with runners earning spots on the team based on their performances at the state cross country championships in Carrollton Nov. 4 and 5 and major meets against other All-Metro contenders. Marist sophomore Tommy Latham led the way among the local contingent after being selected boys' runner of the year. Latham earned the top honors among the boys after winning the Class AAAAAA boys' individual title at the state meet. The Marist sophomore won the AAAAAA boys' race with a time of 15 minutes, 58.17 seconds, which was the fastest time among the boys in all classifications at the state meet. He also won the Region 4AAAAAA meet in Acworth October 22 and finished second at the Coach Wood Invitational in Whitesburg with a personal-best time of 14:56.81. Latham was joined on the boys' first team by Holy Innocents' senior Joe Sapone and Whitefield Academy senior Taylor Wade.  Sapone, a University of North Carolina commitment for cross country and track and field, finished second in Class AAAA at the state meet. He won every other race he competed, winning the boys' individual title at the Region 6AAAA meet at Westminster October 25 and finished first at the Coach Wood Invitational in Whitesburg Oct. 15 with a personal-best time of 14:56.52.

Through the Atlanta Commercial Down Payment Assistance Loan Program, Atlanta small businesses are eligible to apply for a direct loan of up to 20% of commercial property costs up to $200,000 to acquire commercial property. The CDPA program is the third initiative that United Way of Greater Atlanta and Invest Atlanta have rolled out as a part of the Atlanta Open for Business Fund, supported by Wells Fargo.

Loan recipients must be an existing small business with a city of Atlanta business license that is interested in acquiring commercial real estate in the city of Atlanta with emphasis in low-income census tracts, Federal Opportunity Zone areas, disadvantaged neighborhoods, or a New Markets Tax Credit approved area neighborhood.
