Hello!

Enjoy!!
  Fire Station 13 - Update
Checklist ImageFire Station 13 - Update

As promised in the March 1st Newsletter, EACA has obtained a deeper analysis of the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department's coverage for the East Atlanta area.  As you now know, Fire Station 13 firefighters have been temporarily transferred to Station 10 in Grant Park.  Many residents have raised concerns about response times, and the attached map should detail exactly where and when the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department can reach an emergency.  This map was furnished by Sharyl Chatman of the Department's Office of Assessment and Planning.  At the insistence of EACA, NPU-W, and Council-member Archibong, Chief Baker has put DeKalb County on notice, so if needed, DeKalb County will be called upon in an emergency.
 
At tomorrow's EACA Monthly Meeting (March 9), Interim Chief Baker and Lieutenant Daws (Station 13 Project Manager) will be present and prepared to give a summary of last Wednesday's community meeting at the East Atlanta Library.  They will also provide information regarding when the station will be open and fully staffed as well as an overview of quality assurance and performance measures.
 
CORRECTION: In last week's newsletter, the article mentioned that the contractor for the new Fire Station 13 was Moody Construction.  That statement was in error.  Though Moody Construction does a lot of work for the City of Atlanta, for Fire Station 13 the contractor is Mooney Construction.  Sincere apologies for the mistake.
 East Atlanta CourtWatch Kickoff
Checklist Image
EACA's Day in Court         

On Friday, February 26, members of EACA and other Atlanta-in-DeKalb residents met at the DeKalb County Courthouse in downtown Decatur.  DeKalb County District Attorney Gwendolyn Keyes Fleming, Assistant District Attorney Jill Polster, Community Prosecutor Dana Lawrence, and the Superior Court Judge Tangela Barrie met with residents to discuss their concerns about the judicial process and how community members can get more involved.  This meeting was the first step in a CourtWatch program for EACA.  The CourtWatch effort includes following cases throughout the judicial process, as well as appearing in court when we believe it can positively impact the outcome of a criminal proceeding.  If you wish to participate, please contact Public Safety Chair Myron Polster at publicsafety@eaca.net, and we can add you to the CourtWatch e-mail list.  No upfront committment of time is required, so you can keep up with what's going on and get involved as your schedule allows.
 
All crimes committed in East Atlanta are handled in the DeKalb County judicial system, whether committed in the City of Atlanta or Unincorporated DeKalb County.  For more on the emerging CourtWatch program in East Atlanta, or to learn more about Public Safety efforts in our community, please visit the East Atlanta Security Patrol and SAFE websites.


EASP Updated Contact Information

As part of the East Atlanta Security Patrol's efforts to improve communications with the neighborhood, we are changing our e-mail address effective immediately to easp610@gmail.com.  This is part of our continuing effort to have all voicemail, e-mail and texts funneled into a single account.  This makes it easier to track your calls or incoming requests, and makes all of this information easily accessible to the EASP volunteer responsible for handling communications that day.  The next step will be offering chat capability, which should be available during the month of February.   (Also as on ongoing reminder as of January 4, 2010, EASP has officially changed its phone number to 404-954-1568.)

Don't forget that the EASP responds to calls or contact from all community members.  Whether it's a crime in progress or an ongoing issue such as barking dogs or drug dealing, give us a call and we'll involve the appropriate resources to attempt to resolve your issue.  While this may seem like a disincentive to become a member of the EASP, members do receive tangible benefits such as extra patrols when out of town and patrol coverage based on the number of members in your street or area. 


To learn more about the East Atlanta Security Patrol, view updated news and notes or to enroll, visit the
EASP website.  There is a 50% discount for longtime residents and those 65+. To qualify, you must have lived at the same address for 20 years or be over age 65.  We also have a 20% discount for members of an APD-sanctioned Neighborhood Watch.  Please contact us if you're interested in setting up a Neighborhood Watch on your street.
 
If you have additional questions, please direct them to easp610@gmail.com, or call EACA Public Safety Chair Myron Polster at 404-429-8815.

EACA Beautification Day
Hi all,
 
I hope everyone is out enjoying this spectacular weather.  Please join us for more great weather next Sunday March 14th @ noon for some Spring cleaning in the village.
 
We'll be meeting in front of or across from Joe's Coffee shop to start out our efforts. We'll again be tackling litter and sticker removal, graffiti cover-up or removal on public signs, and one or two special projects.
 
Let's show Atlanta how great EAST Atlanta is with a large turnout.  Bring a friend! The more folks we have the further out from the Village we can go.
 
In the meantime, don't let this one day of the month be your only involvement in Neighborhood betterment.  If you are out enjoying a walk in the neighborhood, please take a garbage bag with you and pick up the odd piece of trash.  If you see large dumping, please let me know an address.  If you see a tire, or pile of tires, please jot down the address and let me know - Tire Round-Up is just around the corner.
 
Please encourage your neighbors to pick up trash in front of their houses!
 
Thanks Everyone!  I hope to see you out this coming Sunday,

EACA Receives Environmental Grant
The City of Atlanta recently awarded grants to qualifying communities and nonprofits for the purchase of trees to be voluntarily planted in April.  On Wednesday, March 3, EACA received word that its application was successful, and that $1,969 has been awarded for the purchase of 15 trees in the neighborhood. 
 
A big thank you to Alex Levy and Ted Hitch, EACA's Beautification Chair, for conducting a tree inventory of interested property owners and putting the successful application together!  When the trees arrive, EACA will be seeking volunteers to assist in the planting -- several property owners who requested trees are homebound seniors.



An Evening Conversation with Mayor Kasim Reed and City Officials
Checklist ImageOn Tuesday, March 23 a reception with several city officials will be followed by a question and answer session with Mayor Kasim Reed.  The event is brought to you by more than 15 SE Atlanta neighborhoods and organizations.   It will be held at the Bible Way Ministries International Church at 894 Constitution Road, SE.
 
Beginning at 6 PM, the reception will give you a chance to meet and chat informally with Atlanta City Council officials, including city council president - at-large and District members, and the new faces of the new Atlanta Police Department.  So far, Carla Smith as well as Ceasar Mitchell and Michael Bond have confirmed from the city council, and Assistant Chief Pete Andresen and Deputy Chief Ernest Finley have confirmed from the APD.  We expect to hear from APD Chief George Turner, and City Council members Natalyn Archibong, Aaron Watson, and others soon.  This part of the evening will be held at the fellowship hall of the church.
 
Immediately following the reception, at 6:45 PM, the audience will move into the sanctuary for the "Conversation with Mayor Kasim Reed," the Mayor's Q&A.  He will start at 7 PM sharp and answer questions previously submitted by the community until 7:45 PM.  Our Moderator will be AJC Editorial Writer Andre Johnson, who knows the city's issues intimately, and will be able to ask intelligent follow-up questions as necessary.

Burgess Peterson Academy Tours

THINKING ABOUT
SCHOOLS?


Which area elementary school is designed with classrooms surrounding a secluded courtyard with a new playground, picnic tables and an organic garden watered from rain barrels?

Here's a hint.  It's the same school with its own computer lab, media center, science lab and dedicated art and music rooms.

Need another hint?  This school has low student-teacher ratios and state of the art interactive white boards in most classrooms.


Here's your last hint.  If you live in East Atlanta, your elementary school age child is guaranteed a spot.  And it's
FREE

Come see why parents are buzzing about East Atlanta's public elementary school! 

Burgess-Peterson Academy will host tours for prospective families on February 24, March 17, and March 31 at 10 AM and 7 PM.  

The school is located at
480 Clifton Street at the corner of Glenwood and Clifton, less than a mile east of East Atlanta Village.

Childcare will be available for the 10 AM tours.


Please RSVP at bpatours@yahoo.com.

NCS/ACMS Merger
After many meetings and much input from various stakeholders,  a draft version of the charter petition for the Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School is now completed.  If you are interested in the impact of the NCS/ACMS merger, please read the linked document.  The time for any remaining comments or concerns from the community is now.  There will be two more public opportunities to ask questions or provide input.  The first and best chance is tonight, March 8th at 7:00 at ACMS, 820 Essie Avenue in Ormewood Park.  After that, there will be a joint meeting of both boards at 6:30 pm at NCS on March 15th, where the charter will be voted on.  You may also contact one of our East Atlanta representatives this week, Kelly Simons (simons@visa-law.net) or Myron Polster (myron.polster@comcast.net), to express your views or ask questions.
 
One of the biggest questions emerging from these discussions is the nature of the merged school's attendance zones and the impact on East Atlanta families.  The proposed attendance zones for the combined school will remain as is.  For K-5, East Atlanta remains in the secondary attendance zone, while for 6-8 we remain in the primary attendance zone.  Particularly for those East Atlanta families looking at NCS for kindergarten, it continues to be uncertain how many spots if any there will be from year to year.  The waiting list for the 2010-2011 school year is much shorter than it was for 2009-2010, but the reasons for that are not totally clear.  Some of that may be increased competition from Parkside and Imagine Wesley, there may be fewer school-age kids from the primary attendance zone of Grant Park and Ormewood Park, or some other factors may be at work.
 
As for grades 6-8, children from East Atlanta have not had any trouble enrolling at ACMS in its first few years of existence.  In fact, more kids from the secondary attendance zone are currently enrolled than from the primary attendance zone, which includes all of NPU-W.  One of the big changes resulting from the merger is that 5th graders will have priority for registration in grade 6.  Whether that means that more kids from the K-5 primary attendance zone will continue onto 6th grade is anyone's guess, but that could potentially take away spots away in grades 6-8 from East Atlanta families.  Grade 6 will have capacity for 72 kids versus 60 in the fifth grade, so for most of the life of this 5 year charter, it appears likely that middle school access will still be good for East Atlanta.  This is because NCS is usually well under the 60 child capacity in their fifth grade classes, and quite a few kids don't continue on to ACMS for middle school.

The charter petition is for 5 years, so if you have young children, this merger may be of interest to you.  Please take some time to review the charter and provide input in whatever manner you desire.
