LILBURN’S CAMP GREENWAY is back open, after being closed because of storm damage. It is a 4.2-mile linear trail that connects Lilburn City Park and Lions Club Park. The trail runs along Camp Creek, which is prone to high waters that can affect the trail. Its first segment opened in 2007 and improved along the way. Initial funding of $2.6 million came from SPLOST funding.

TODAY’S FOCUS

Redundant BB&T and SunTrust banks being consolidated

(Special only in GwinnettForum)

After the merger of BB&T and Sun Trust banks into Truist bank, several redundant branches near to one another are being consolidated. 

A bank spokesman says:  “We’re being thoughtful in our approach, and are keeping the needs of our clients at the forefront of our decisions. It’s important to note there are no job losses associated with this consolidation; all teammates are being offered other roles in nearby branches. Our client relationships will be automatically transferred to a nearby branch.”

The following Gwinnett County branches are consolidating into nearby branches on February 18, 2022:

  • Suwanee Branch, 2885 Lawrenceville Suwanee Road, will be consolidated into the nearby Suwanee Creek Branch, 3287 Lawrenceville Suwanee Road, Suwanee
  • Buford Branch, 4394 Buford Dr., will be consolidated into the Mall of Georgia Branch, 3400 Buford Drive, Buford.
  • Snellville Branch, 2230 Scenic Highway will be consolidated into the Scenic Promenade Branch, 1689 Scenic Highway in Snellville.
  • Suwanee Town Center Branch, 350 Town Center Avenue will be consolidated into the Suwanee Creek Branch, 3287 Lawrenceville Suwanee Road, Suwanee.
  • Merton Walk Publix Branch, 911 Duluth Highway, will be consolidated into the Gwinnett Medical Branch, 701 Duluth Highway Lawrenceville.
  • Berkeley Lake Branch, 4601 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard will consolidate into Peachtree Corners Branch, 6095 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Norcross.
  • Lawrenceville II Branch, 4095 Sugarloaf Parkway will consolidate into Lawrenceville I Branch, 390 W. Crogan Street, Lawrenceville.
  • Sugarloaf Branch, 2734 Meadow Church Road, will consolidate into Sugarloaf Civic Center Branch, 6475 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth.
  • Buford Wal-Mart Branch, 3795 Buford Drive will consolidate into Mall of Georgia Branch, 3400 Buford Drive Buford
  • Lilburn Wal-Mart Branch, 4004 Lawrenceville Highway will consolidate into the Lilburn Branch, 4700 Lawrenceville Highway Lilburn

This branch will consolidate into a nearby branch in late-March:

  • Forum Branch, 5125 Peachtree Parkway will consolidate into Peachtree Corners Branch, 6095 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Norcross.

EEB PERSPECTIVE

Today is a really special date, being 2-22-22

By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum

FEB. 22, 2022  |  Look at today’s date.  It is 2-22-22. February 22, 2022. This is an unusual date and the numerically abbreviated date will never happen again.  And not only that, it’ll be 11+ years before a similar date rolls around, 3-3-33. Here’s something special to start your day with!

One website, Lucky Little Learners, calls that date, since it comes on a Tuesday, “Two’s Day.” They even suggest some ideas for teachers to use on younger students:

  • Hang big 2s from the ceiling and on the walls. (Students could guess how many are hidden around the room.)
  • Set up a “store” where everything cost 2 or 22 cents.
  • Have students decorate large paper twos OR have them transform the two into something else (disguise their 2).

Additionally, it suggests other activities:

  • Skip Counting by 2s Maze.
  • Two Syllable words partner game.
  • Grammar lesson focusing on to, two and too.

These are good ideas for students to have a little fun with this special date.

For one group of people, the bright sunshiny weather of February is wonderful, and boy, do they enjoy it! 

We’re talking about the warm-blooded convertible people, who putz around in automobiles with tops down during these bright days. They pay no attention to the temperature, unless it drops below the 40s. They enjoy the wind whipping around them, though some wear snug hats, scarves and jackets. They seem to feel as long as it is sunny, why not parade around with the top down and flaunt the weather?

Not us. As long as it stays below 70 degrees outside, we’ll keep our automobile heater on, particularly to warm our hands. Yep, we’re just plain cold-natured, and can’t help. My feet will be cold until at least June.

One new element in the convertible automobile line that makes it easier for the open-top crowd are these new vehicles with hard tops that, with the push of a button, tuck the hard top into the trunk. These replace the soft (or rag) top convertibles, which were much more difficult to adjust from closed to entirely open.

So you convertible people, enjoy your riding-around, which we’ve noticed, usually has you with a smile on your face, enjoying the weather.  But somehow, I expect, you’ve still got your heater on to warm your feet.

Washington on Mount Rushmore/Unsplash.

Happy George Washington’s birthday to you. A friend sends along George Washington’s prayer for our country. It reads: 

“I now make it my earnest prayer, that God would have the United State in his holy protection, that he would incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government, to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow citizens of the United States at large and particularly for their brethren who have served in the field, and finally that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all, to do justice, to love mercy and demean ourselves with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the divine author of our blessed religion, and without an imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation. Amen.”

FEEDBACK

More background on Kemp’s selection of new judge

Editor, the Forum: 

As a follow-up to your article on political appointments usurping the citizens’ ability to elect judges, I thought you might find this letter to the editor in the Fulton Daily Report interesting. It provides details as to what appears to be the motivation behind these political moves relative to the appellate courts of our State. 

Clearly the Kemp camp and allies were afraid Pinson was going to lose his seat on the Court of Appeals with opposition from a well-funded and capable candidate, Elizabeth Fite,  and the governor pulled these stunts to protect him. 

Many lawyers feel as if Pinson lacks the necessary experience to sit at the appellate level, much less the Georgia Supreme Court. Word is, as a practicing lawyer, he has never conducted a jury trial and not even a non-jury bench trial as lead counsel. Nor has he sat as a judge in any court, so many question his qualifications in reviewing and ruling on decisions made by judges in the trial courts of the State in real life settings – i.e. in the heat of battle. Being smart, which I am sure he is, is not everything. (His appointed term does not end until 2024, so it will be 2.5 years before he faces the voters.)

Remembering music and a mynah bird Tchaikovsky lover

Editor, the Forum: 

First, I so enjoy GwinnettForum…my Tuesday/Friday read. 

Second: Tim Anderson’s comments on the musicians in his family brought back a happy memory:  I, too, love Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. 

Many years ago I had a mynah bird (a thoroughly entertaining pet) who would become intoxicated whenever we played that magical recording. He would hang sideways on his cage, swaying to the music, his beak open, his eyes closed, hypnotized.  Thank you Tim, haven’t thought about that in years!  Today’s young people are missing so much joy with their choice of “music.”

“Thanks For The Memory.”

– Keni Woodruff, Lithonia

Another view of Putin and the Russian economy

Editor, the Forum: 

Since the fall of the Soviet Union and our decades of destroying Russian sales to Middle Eastern tyrants, Russia has fallen to a backbench role. Its economy and military suffered terribly.

 But energy has filled the coffers of Moscow and Putin has devoted much of the budget to develop new weapons systems. One pipeline is already pumping fuel to Germany and Deutsche marks are funding advanced weaponry on display for western media to showcase daily 24/7.  

This ad campaign is for countries around the world looking to buy. T-90 tanks are mostly produced by contract in India.  Some countries like India have been buying from the west with Rafael and F-35 fighters. Russia is also stocking up on film for home television. Footage of waves of Russian armor cheers up vodka-soaked Muscovites and scares the Germans.   

Putin the puppeteer is watching each European leader dance for him. Still only words line up to oppose his massed forces on three sides of Ukraine. Yet, he may pull away, for an invasion could lead to an embarrassing inability to hold onto his taken ground.  He could lose heavily in men, treasure,  and worst of all, his systems would be destroyed, losing sales. If he steps back, he has shown the world his fancy new toys for sale and given Europe something to wake them up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.  

Next will be the Chinese trade show.

Georgia Gwinnett College offers cybersecurity certificate

Demand for positions in the fast-growing cybersecurity industry is higher than the current training system produces. Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) is addressing that issue with its new cybersecurity certificate. 

This 16-credit hour curriculum is perfect for students or working professionals. The courses are offered online. GGC’s smaller class sizes allow students a better opportunity to learn and ask questions of their instructors. The program can run concurrent with a student’s selected major or as a standalone, affordable option for people interested in getting into cybersecurity. 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) identifies information security analysts as one of the best options for people looking to enter the field. It pays well, offering a median salary of $103,590, and is experiencing a steep upward trend in job openings. The BLS job outlook predicts a 33 percent rise in this field from 2020-2030, much higher than the national average for all jobs. 

Along with information security analysts, GGC’s cybersecurity certificate well prepares graduates for similar occupations, such as cybersecurity consultants, managers and specialists, as well as security engineering in network analysts. 

Dr. Chavonda Mills, dean of GGC’s School of Science and Technology says: “Cybersecurity is one of the hottest employment options for students looking to secure a stable living. GGC’s flexibility and accredited college coursework offers a unique take on training, and when a student finishes their course, they’ll have a solid foundation to be successful in the field.”

Handmade paper exhibit at Hudgens through April 16

An extensive exhibit of the works of Mina Duffie will be on display at the Hudgens Center for the Arts through April 16. Mina Duffie specializes in Hanji, the art of miniature paper creations. Born in Seoul, South Korea, Mina relished experimenting with different creative styles from a young age. However, it wasn’t until she discovered Hanji, traditional handmade paper sourced from the Mulberry tree, that she began using it as her main medium. Since then, Duffie has been bringing to life quintessential scenes drawn from her travels and experiences from across the world. Currently based in Alabama, Mina has participated in numerous exhibitions where she has gained notoriety for her unique style. 

Older homeowners have April 1 deadline to reduce taxes

Older Gwinnett County homeowners may apply online by April 1 for a homestead exemption to reduce their tax bills for this year and for the future. 

Gwinnett County seniors who are 65 and older with a Georgia Net Taxable Income of $105,280 or less may qualify for a Senior Exemption that eliminates school taxes on the primary residence and up to one acre of property. Seniors who are not required to file taxes may provide other proof of income to qualify.

Homeowners with approved exemptions do not need to reapply. To verify an exemption is in place or receive assistance with exemptions, contact the Tax Commissioner’s Customer Contact Center 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays by phone at (770) 822-8800, via email to Tax@GwinnettCounty.com or chat with us on any Internet-connected device from GwinnettTaxCommissioner.com.

“An exemption is the best way for qualifying residents to reduce their property taxes,” Tax Commissioner Tiffany Porter says.

Schools in Walton EMC area get empowerment grants

For six years, Walton Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) has made a significant impact on the students in its local service area by the use of unclaimed money.

Walton’s School EmPOWERment Grant program gives schools in nearby communities the chance to boost their instructional and service programs by funding worthwhile projects. Many of the projects are those that local systems don’t have funds for in regular operating budgets.

The money that Walton EMC distributes – over $2 million since the program began just six short years ago – doesn’t affect customer-owners’ power bills, either. That’s because the funds are unclaimed monies from former customers whom the co-op can’t find.

After Walton EMC publishes lists of these customers in their newsletter and on their website, places legal ads and exhausts all attempts to find the owners, Georgia law allows the money to be used for community benefit.

This year the funds total $368,212, with $135,195 being distributed in Gwinnett County. 

The schools getting the funds in Gwinnett and their projects include: 

  • Anderson-Livesay Elementary – $7,604, Lorna Baldwin, LEGOs in a STEM World;
  • Annistown Elementary – $2,460, LaToya Burse, Lettuce Grow Our Garden;
  • Britt Elementary – $5,490, Nancy Falocco, STEM Explosion;
  • Centerville Elementary – $6,075, Bonita Banks, Book Vending Machine;
  • Cooper Elementary – $3,449, George Kashella, The Reading Connection;

  • Grace Snell Middle – $5,000, Kimberly Arenas, Cooking Club;
  • Grayson Elementary – $2,500, Heather Abner, Vending Machine Books
  • Grayson High – $3,000, Elaine Orange, Graphing Calculators;

The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman

From Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill: Elizabeth Best, former MI5 agent and present resident of Coopers Chase retirement community, is surprised when she receives a letter from a man who has been dead for decades. This starts the ball rolling for a multiple homicide mystery in which four senior citizens outfox their local police detectives plus Britain’s security service, MI5. If you’re looking for a realistically gritty book, this is not your book. Richard Osman, instead, takes a lighthearted, and sometimes humorous, approach to puzzle solving, throwing in several unexpected twists. What Osman does not do, however, is patronize senior citizens. He gives them the wits to deal with sobering realities in a dignified way and shows that they are much more complicated and capable than they appear. Meant to be enjoyed, this romp is a sequel to The Thursday Murder Club, but I think it can stand alone and is the better of the two.

GEORGIA TIDBIT

Birdwell College changes name to Thomas University 

(From previous edition)

During these years, Birdwood College lacked sufficient financial resources to expand its focus. It was criticized for a lack of sufficient administrative personnel and for infrequent communication between the college and the denominational congregations. In the 1960s the board was expanded to include interested members of the Thomasville community from outside the denomination. In January 1966 the college applied for federal funds, an act that was unpopular among most Primitive Baptist churches in the region. In addition to federal funding, the resolution of the board to admit students “based on character and ability to do college work, regardless of color, race or creed” hastened the break between the college and the denomination. In 1966 the board forced Chapman to resign as president and dean.

Community attitudes toward the college were mixed. A local bond issue proposed in 1973 for a state junior college in Thomasville was narrowly defeated, and the intense campaign over the bond issue generated strong public debate about Birdwood College and its role in the Thomasville community. An editorial published in the Thomasville Times-Enterprise that year noted several reasons that many in the community did not support Birdwood, including its sponsorship by the Primitive Baptist Church, its lack of accreditation, and the limited number of teachers and courses available.

Dwindling support from the Primitive Baptist churches in the region ultimately led to a resolution by the Birdwood College board to become a nonsectarian institution. In 1977 the name of the college was changed to Thomas County Community College. In 1979 the college officially severed relations with the Primitive Baptist denomination and became completely nonsectarian, private, and independent.

Once the college severed its ties to the Primitive Baptists, efforts began in earnest to secure accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). In 1984 the institution received initial accreditation by SACS as an associate-degree-granting institution, followed in 1990 by recognition as a baccalaureate-degree-granting institution. The name of the institution was changed once again, in 1986, to Thomas College.

Accreditation by SACS and the attainment of baccalaureate status contributed to a period of rapid growth. The student body grew from 369 in 1990 to more than 800 students in 1996. During the 1990s several new buildings were constructed or relocated to the Thomas College campus.

The conversion from the quarter system to the semester system, coupled with the state legislature’s more stringent requirements regarding HOPE scholarships, led to enrollment declines in the late 1990s. During this period two master’s degree programs, a master of business administration and a master of science in rehabilitation counseling, were developed. In 1998 the institution was recognized by SACS as a master’s-degree-granting institution and in 2000 changed its name to Thomas University.

In 2001 Thomas University purchased a small residence hall two miles from the main campus. Around the time of the name change it began an intercollegiate athletics program, playing as part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). In 2004 the Thomas University women’s softball team won the NAIA national championship.

Since 2000 Thomas University has expanded its graduate offerings to include master’s programs in education, community counseling, and nursing. Still primarily a commuter campus, approximately half of its students are older than the traditional college student. Thomas University continues to provide postsecondary opportunities focused on preparing local citizens to serve the region.

MYSTERY PHOTO

Here’s an idyllic spot where you can contemplate nature

Today’s Mystery Photo looks something like a spot for relaxing and thinking, what with the benches around the central figure. Can you tell us where this photograph was taken? Send your ideas to elliott@brack.net, and tell us the town where you get your mail.

Holly Moore of Suwanee was first in with the identification of the most recent Mystery Photo: 

It’s Woodward Mill, right near the Mall of Georgia and near the Gwinnett Environmental Heritage Center on the Ivy Creek Greenway. With part of the old mill still there, it was built in 1866.”  It is indeed near the mall, as George Graf of Palmyra, Va. put it “hidden literally across from the Mall of Georgia.” The photo came from Bill Baughman of Snellville.

Others recognizing it were Mike Tennant of Duluth; Chuck Warbington, Auburn; Hoyt Tuggle, Buford; and Jon Davis, Duluth.

Stewart A. Woodard of Lawrenceville who adds:That is the remains of the mill wheel at the old Woodward Mill. It’s a little-known location, southwest of the mall.  It is within 100 yards of the on/off ramps at Georgia Highway 20 (Buford Drive) onto Interstate-85.  From these ramps motorists can see the old concrete bridge that crossed Ivy Creek (also called Mill Creek), just east of the mill dam. A small mill pond is between this old bridge and the mill dam. Paved and unpaved trails follow Ivy Creek east into the Mill Creek Nature Center (owned by the Georgia Wildlife Federation) on to Gravel Springs Road and west to the ground of the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center.  Trails are great for easy walking and glimpses of nature along both the several forks of the Ivy Creek.

“My own photo (above left) attached is from 2011. Tens of thousands of cars pass within hundreds of yards of this old mill dam and don’t even know it exists.  Increased development east and along both sides of Ivy Creek has adversely impacted these wetlands with higher and more water than in the recent past.”
