11/10: One happy, one sad on election outcome; On Bill Barks Sr.

GwinnettForum  |  Number 20.84  |  Nov. 10, 2020

A NEW MURAL has been put on permanent display in Suwanee, thanks to a Buford artist. Muralist Kim Pitts donated his piece, ‘Suwanee Rocks,’ to the City of Suwanee’s permanent art collection. The mural, depicting musicians Elton John, Mick Jagger, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Prince, Blondie, Paul McCartney, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, and Billy Joel, is  installed on the back of the Town Center Stage. The 5’ x 10’ mural is painted on Dibond metal with heavy-bodied acrylic paint and has a value of $5,000. The inspiration for the piece came from Pitts’ 64-year-old brother Tommy, who can still be found rocking out with his band on the weekends. The little bird nestled in amongst the musicians is Pitts’ signature, and can be found on all of his work. It represents a little metal wind-up toy that was the artist’s favorite as a child. A Georgia native, Pitts works out of his home studio in Buford, where he resides with his wife and two daughters. For more information about his work, visit KimseyArt.com. For more information regarding the City of Suwanee’s public art initiative, visit Suwanee.com.

TODAY’S FOCUS

Trump: you are fired!

(Editor’s note: Today we present two divergent views (this one and Another Voice) on the outcome of the presidential election. Remember, it’s the goal of GwinnettForum to publicize different voices. Enjoy these thoughts according to your own viewpoint.—eeb)

By George Wilson, contributing columnist

STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga.  |  President Trump’s loss was caused by his narcissism, corruption, perpetual lying, cruelty and lack of empathy. 

Fortunately, his profound ignorance, on so many levels, was not overlooked by a majority of the voters. However, we are left wondering what might have happened if he had been an intelligent, less malignant person. 

For that reason, Congress should work to ensure that we have laws in place to prevent the violation of accepted norms in the future. One example where Trump was overreaching:  sending out the Department of Homeland Security personnel to break up peaceful and lawful demonstrations.

Is there any doubt that Donald Trump is the worst president ever to set foot in the White House? Factors in this assessment are his six bankruptcies, his womanizing, his insatiable greed, his nepotism, his refusal to release his tax information despite promising to do so, his lack of political experience, his flagrant use of his properties for government functions, his refusal to state whom he owes $421 million to, his attacks on the environment and the turning over of the government to former lobbyists.

Now we have had a so-called businessman as president. We never realized how good we had it when politicians were president. 

However, the thing that infuriates me more than anything is Trump’s blatant lying. How do you tell when Trump is lying? Answer: his lips are moving. 

I value integrity in a person more than anything.  Trump’s blatant disregard for this vital component score heavily here. Then there is his incompetent handling of the COVID-19, both adding to make him the worst president in American history. 

Finally, there is the considerable question of the people that voted for Trump, and why? Other questions arise about the role of social media, the demise of newspapers and journalism, the rise of right-wing media, and media concentrations into fewer companies. These areas deserve our attention and should also be investigated and commented on. 

Yes, we realize that we should also notice that we are still a deeply divided nation. It will take real leadership to get us out of the mess Donald Trump is leaving us.

EEB PERSPECTIVE

Memorial for Bill Barks Sr. of Norcross to be held Nov. 21

By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum

NOV. 10, 2020  |  What a full life Bill Barks Sr. of Norcross lived!  He died recently at age 83.

Bill retired from his many business ventures in 2010. He still remained active. As one of the founding members of the PDC Club (Progressive Development Club), which still meets each Wednesday morning in Norcross at 45 South Café (now “people driving coffee), he became publisher of the Norcross Times, which he edited for 15 years, up until recently. 

His life was a varied one, in several areas of our nation.  He was born in Pomona, Calif., and began high school in Monrovia, Calif. But in 1952, his father accepted a senior appointment with the Air Force in Wiesbaden, Germany.  There Bill attended the American High School, played varsity football and was a four year letterman. He spent one year at the University of Heidelberg, before completing his degree at Arizona State University, majoring in industrial engineering and management.

His business life began, first with Motorola and later with Dickinson Electronics, working on building and testing components for the space program, including Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Saturn projects. 

Bill and Julie Barks during recent holidays

Switching fields, Mr. Barks joined the Phoenix Coca Cola as their production manager in 1971, and later was promoted to plant superintendent and later assistant general manager for production services.

Then venturing out on his own, he started Omega Industries in 1973, where he was  president and the chief operating officer. When Omega was taken over in 1980, Bill began a retirement (which lasted only four years) in Telluride, Colorado. 

He first came to Gwinnett in Lilburn in 1985, as co-founder of ICS, an electronics manufacturing rep firm. Eventually he became president of the successor company, the largest board level rep firm in the Southeast with annual sales of $45 million, from which he retired in 2010.

During Bill’s many business  operations, he was always active and headed high offices within his community. Among his distinctions:

  • President of the Tempe, Ariz., Municipal Building Corporation.
  • President of the Phoenix Jaycees; vice president of the Arizona Jaycees.
  • Jaycee of the year in Tempe in 1967.
  • President of the Phoenix East Valley Boys and Girls Club.
  • President of the Tempe Diablos, which helped start the Fiesta Bowl.
  • President of the Telluride Chamber of Commerce.
  • President of the Arizona State Georgia Alumni Association.
  • Chairman of the Norcross Open Car Show.
  • President of the Farmington Hills Homeowners Association.
  • Master Mason of Gwinnett Daylight Lodge No. 744.
  • Commander of Scottish Rite of Atlanta.
  • Noble of Yaarah Shrine Temple of Atlanta.  

Bill early on was accomplished. He was a Boy Scout in 1951, and his Eagle Scout card was signed by President Harry Truman. 

Bill’s wife, Julie, was a Norcross city council member for six years. He and his wife were members of St. Barnabas Anglican Church in Dunwoody, where he served on the vestry. The Barks’ had four boys, Bill Jr., Doug, Phil and Nathan, 11 grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.

A memorial mass in Bill’s honor will be held on Saturday, November 21, at St. Barnabas at 11 a.m., followed by a luncheon.

It’s not every day that you get to know a person like Bill Barks. About six months ago, I was honored to spend about an hour with Julie and Bill, just talking about life in general. It was a good feeling, and I will miss him.

William George “Bill” Barks, 1937-2010: May you rest in peace.

ANOTHER VIEW

Diehard Republican is upset with election outcome

(Editor’s note: While presenting divergent viewpoints is the goal of GwinnettForum, the following are the conclusions of one Gwinnett resident, and contains allegations that are not always founded in fact. We present it to show the viewpoint of one stalwart Trump supporter. –eeb)

By Debra Houston, contributing columnist

LILBURN, Ga.  |  I didn’t stand in line for three hours so Democrats could steal the election. In a free society, the people choose the president, not the news media. In a close election, we must count every legal vote. President Donald Trump will take this to the courts. There are too many irregularities to ignore.  We can’t allow voter suppression to exist. We have two Senate runoffs in January, and a congressional election in two years. We must keep voting and in large numbers. 

Philadelphia has a known history of election rigging. This time Republican observers were kept from watching poll workers process ballots at the Convention Center. When a court order came down, Dems opened the doors, but Republicans were kept 60 feet away. Then it was six, which still prevented them from assessing what was happening. 

A whistleblower at the Detroit polling center watched as ballots showed up at 4 a.m. All 130,000 votes went to Biden. The media called the report a hoax. An official said it was a “clerical error.” I say you got caught. 

In July, President Trump described mailed-in paper ballots as “trouble.” Philly allowed voters with incorrect identification on their mailed-in ballots to correct and return them by November 9th. What’s the rush?

Fulton County had more ballots than their entire population. It also had a burst pipe at one site that resulted in a four-hour delay. Maybe it was voter suppression, who knows?  But it grew media legs. It shows what happens when a national election lacks integrity.

Some states stopped counting ballots before the deadline. They counted Biden votes and a few Trumps ones, never allowing the president to exceed Biden. When they stopped, a false outcome favored Biden.  

Several states switched Trump votes to Biden in their computer systems. Also, large numbers of ballots with only Biden’s name checked looked fishy. Voters generally check the entire party’s list of candidates.  Avowed Communist/Democrat, Van Jones, said the election emotionally “hurt” him. There was no Blue Wave. Biden lacks a mandate from the American people, though he claims otherwise.

In January, Republican Senators, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, are in runoffs. Should President Trump lose in the courts, Dems could have all three executive branches. So,  conservatives must vote in gargantuan numbers for our Republican senators, even if it’s zero degrees outside. We have socialism at our doorsteps.

America might lose the Supreme Court. Democrats said if they won the presidency, they would stack it with progressives. We have nine justices, but if Dems add four, the total comes to thirteen. Then they’ll have the presidency, the House, the Senate, and Court. We’ll then have one party rule. 

Biden said wants to “move past division” in the name of “unity.” Democrats impeached our president, plotted to unseat him, and disenfranchised our votes.  Mr. Biden, I’m not in a conciliary mood. Conservatives must reject this absurd notion. 

I don’t advocate violence. Their people – Antifa and the Marxist BLM – burn churches, destroy property, and spit on police. We conservatives vote. 

Our president fought the swamp, so we would know who they are. Now we’ll fight them the way he showed us. Did you see those thousands upon thousands of young people attending the Trump rallies? There’s hope. And if Trump runs in 2024, he’ll have half the country’s support.

FEEDBACK

Rejoices 2020 to be over soon with split control of Congress

Editor, the Forum:

By the time you read this, Joe Biden will probably be declared the winner of the presidency by the media. I think it’s safe to say the results of this election will leave Democrats and Republicans dissatisfied. Which means it will have been a good result.

After the Supreme Court, including those newly appointed originalists justices, rule against the frivolous lawsuits Mr. Trump has filed, President Biden, come January 20, will have a weakened Democratically-controlled House and a status quo Republican Senate.  

Gridlock is good, especially for your 401k Plan.  Divided government, when defined as the Democrats in control of the executive and control of Congress divided, results in an average stock market return of 13.6 percent.  Not bad!  Gridlock has another benefit of thwarting the ability of the hard-left to cram their extreme agenda down the throats of the American people. They simply won’t have the votes.  Joe Biden just did a fist pump.

And last, but definitely not least, the election has the benefit of getting rid of an incompetent, unstable president.  Mr. Trump is repudiated.  November 3, 2020 was a very good day in a very bad year.

Rejoice!

— Theirn (TJ) Scott, Lawrenceville

Dear TJ: Agree with you a split Congress is best, no matter who is the president. However, with the runoffs in Georgia, there is a slight chance that the Senate could be controlled by Democrats. Granted, it is a long shot, but Democrats in Georgia may flex their muscles. So, this election season continues……and we must be patient. –eeb 

Notes donation limit is $2,800 per federal election

Editor, the Forum: 

The Federal Election Commission announced updated contribution limits that have been indexed for inflation and are effective for federal elections in 2019-2020.

The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA) included provisions that indexed some contribution limits for inflation. The limit on individuals’ contributions to candidates, for example, was set at $2,000 per election in BCRA; it is adjusted at the start of each new election cycle. Adjustments are announced after the Department of Labor determines the inflation rate for the previous election year.

During the current two-year election cycle the limit for contributions by individuals to federal candidates for President, the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives has increased to $2,800 per election.

All Eyes on Her by L. E. Flynn

From Karen J. Harris, Stone Mountain: Tabby and Mark head up the path to the split, a dangerously high point on a hiking trail. Two went up, but only one came back down.  Everyone thinks Tabby had something to do with Mark’s tragic accident, but no one knows for sure what happened.  As different friends share their points of view the complications pyramid and it becomes less and less clear what happened.  The only sure thing is that someone is dead, and the other is saying they don’t know how or why it happened.  A fast-paced story for teens, All Eyes on Her conveys all the foibles of young lives, the neediness, fear of belonging and of not belonging and most of all of loyalties that fade in and out with circumstances.

Thomas records Southern life before and after Civil War 

Ella Gertrude Clanton Thomas, the daughter and wife of Augusta planters, is best known for the extensive journal she kept of her life before, during, and after the Civil War (1861-65).

Thomas

An invaluable resource for historians of the era and a reflection of the roles played by elite, educated southern women, Thomas’s journal spans 41 years, chronicling the period between 1848 and 1889. In it she recorded her experiences, reminiscences, opinions, and intellectual insights during her transitions from pampered southern belle to ardent southern nationalist to disheartened Confederate supporter to poverty-stricken wife and mother. In the last years of her life Thomas assumed leading roles in several civic and social organizations and described herself as a feminist and suffragist.

Ella Gertrude Clanton, known as Gertrude, was born in 1834 just outside Augusta in Columbia County to Mary Luke and Turner Clanton. Her father, a Virginia transplant, had established a new life in Georgia as a prominent planter and member of the state legislature. As one of the wealthiest planters in the state (his estate in 1864 was valued at an impressive $2.5 million Confederate), he was able to offer his seven children lives of luxury and privilege. In her journal, Thomas describes a youth spent attending parties in the latest fashions, visiting friends and family across the region, and reading and writing.

At about age 14 Clanton left home to attend Wesleyan Female College in Macon. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1851, a rare accomplishment for a woman of that time, even among the southern elite. That same year she met her future husband, James Jefferson Thomas, through his sister Julia Thomas, a close friend at Wesleyan. The couple married in 1852 and settled near Augusta.

A graduate of Princeton University, in Princeton, N.J., who had abandoned his studies at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Thomas’s new husband established himself as a planter, thanks to substantial ongoing financial support from his father-in-law. Throughout the 1850s Thomas led a typical life for a woman of her time, place, and class. She performed little physical labor as the mistress of a large plantation supported by numerous slaves. She had ten children, only seven of whom survived past age five; her last child was born in 1875, when she was 41 years old.

MYSTERY PHOTO

Can you place this night scene Mystery Photo?

Here’s a night scene we ask you to identify. There should be several clues jumping out at you that could help you make this determination of the location of the Mystery Photo. Send your answer to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.

It’s just a leisurely drive to the last edition’s mystery photo, which we thought many more people would get.  Locally, only Lou Camerio of Lilburn recognized this plaza scene from Asheville, N.C. The photo comes from Jerry Colley of Alpharetta.  

George Graf of Palmyra, Va. was on the ball, posting that the photograph was the “Appalachian Stage, Asheville, N.C.  Five bronze figures seemingly float to the rhythms of Appalachian music, a tribute to the songs of the mountains, and a special salute to the Mountain Dance and Folk Festival first staged by Bascom Lamar Lunsford in 1927.  These Gary Aslum sculptures remind Asheville folk and visitors alike to grab a folding chair or blanket and plunk down on Roger McGuire Green for Shindig-on-the-Green, Saturday nights, all summer long.”

Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex. added: “Today’s mystery photo is part of the Asheville Urban Trail, a 1.7-mile walking tour through the streets of downtown Asheville, N.C. This walking tour offers insights into Asheville’s history and past as told through 30 different stops along the route, each with public sculptures. The bronze statues featured in today’s mystery photo are located in front of the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in downtown Asheville. The statues celebrate the popularity and history of Appalachian bluegrass music. The display is a special tribute to the annual Mountain Dance and Folk Festival, first staged by Bascom Lamar Lunsford in 1927,  an event that is still held each year in Asheville (on the first Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights in August).

“These sculptures were created by Gary Aslum, a sculptor from Denver, Colo. The figures depict a young, bare-footed girl dancing and clapping, while a couple with clog shoes on, dance to the music created by a nearby banjo player and fiddler. If you are interested in seeing more of the Asheville Urban Trail, check it out here.”
