Good morning, Decatur.

Music Together relaunched its Generations Classes at Benton House of Decatur on June 4, where children and seniors make music by singing and playing instruments—demand was high so another session is planned on June 11.

WWII veteran Calvin George Kemp celebrated his 102nd birthday on June 2 at Saint Philip African Methodist Episcopal Church with family and church members.

He served in the Navy during World War II — later working as a scoutmaster and teacher, leaving a legacy of community service.

Two people were injured after they jumped from their apartment building on the 1300 block of Brockett Road when a fire broke out overnight—fire officials say the cause is under investigation.

On May 17, business leaders were honored at Lou Walker Senior Center in Lithonia for service, innovation and community impact—Hank Johnson introduced the Pinnacle Awards that recognized local entrepreneurs from Decatur and across the 4th District—and the event celebrated those who have driven community growth.

Sen. Jon Ossoff urged CSX to explain its rail safety plans after train cars derailed on March 25 in Fayette County and on May 9 in Smyrna—he said these incidents may have endangered local residents.
