LILBURN, Ga.  |  Fall and Lilburn Daze go together and have been a perfect pair for the last 50 years. From humble beginnings in shopping center parking lots along U.S. Highway 29, even at the now-closed water treatment facility previously on Indian Trail Road, and later at Lilburn City Park, it has been a local institution for 44 years for family friendly fun. The Lilburn Woman’s Club of the Georgia Federation of Woman’s Club, has lots to celebrate on Saturday, October 8, its 50th Lilburn Daze.

The first arts festival in 1973 was more like a garage sale and was held in the basement of the gym behind Lilburn Elementary. It earned just $144.  Proceeds from Lilburn Daze have funded scholarships, supported local schools including a yearly donation to CARE teams, funded restoration of the Wynne Russell House, supported the Lilburn library, and other community activities. 

In 1979, Lilburn Daze found its home in the newly created Lilburn City Park. The park was dedicated at the 1982 Lilburn Daze when the Lilburn Woman’s Club was recognized for helping raise money for the park’s completion. At this time, Lilburn Daze became a co-sponsored event with the City of Lilburn. In 2013, ‘Adventure Mountain,’ the first sculpture and water feature in the park was dedicated.

Lilburn Woman’s Club created a logo in 1984 depicting Old Town Lilburn in partnership with Terry Huey, a local artist. Club members were so thrilled with the logo that they created wooden signs and aprons displaying the new design. Their excitement grew when members learned that this event raised over $5,000 that year! Club members continue to proudly wear Lilburn Daze shirts each year during the festival. 

Elephant rides, hot air balloon rides, the Southern Rose Antique Fairground Organ, precision horse drills, 5K road races, parades and Santa Claus have all been featured at Lilburn Daze over the years.

For the 50th anniversary, try your luck at the Lilburn Woman’s Club Scavenger Hunt! This mobile game allows your team to take selfies, record videos, take quizzes and participate in GPS challenges while learning about the Woman’s Club. Prizes will be awarded, too! To learn more, stop by the Woman’s Club Scavenger Tent.

Of course, foods are a highlight for Lilburn Daze. Fudge comes from Estelle Roberts for 50 years! Boy Scout Troop 100 has kettle corn, and  old timers miss the ‘Chuck Wagon’ which featured 700 pounds of barbecue prepared by club member’s husbands, plus grilled hamburgers, and hot dogs. 

Music is always an important part of Lilburn Daze allowing local talent to take the stage and shine. Scheduled this year will be the Gwinnett Community Band, singers from Music on Main Street and Snellville School of Rock, local church choirs and folk guitarists. 

Children activities are always a big part of the day. There will be children’s art and craft projects, puppet shows and storytelling, plus art from local K-5 students, and other features aimed at children.

Make plans to visit Lilburn Daze this year on Saturday, October 8th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This local tradition strives to embrace the best of old and new Lilburn. Now one of the largest Gwinnett outdoor fall festivals, Lilburn Daze is the result of the efforts of Lilburn Woman’s Club and dozens of loyal volunteers, sponsors, and vendors.

Susan Allred, current president of the Lilburn Woman’s Club, says: “If you are a local artist or craftsman and are interested in either having a booth or sponsoring this great event which attracts over 10,000 visitors, we invite you to visit www.lilburndaze.org for more information.”

EEB PERSPECTIVE

Here’s another way the progress of justice is being slowed

By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum

SEPT. 9, 2022  |  Backers of former President Donald Trump would like to see him exonerated and returned to office. Those who see danger in Mr. Trump want to see him come before a tribunal and face the music for his misdeeds.

But for two distinct reasons, it seems the wheels of justice are beginning to turn slower than we thought they might.

Just this week a federal judge, appointed by President Trump, granted his request for an outside party to study the highly classified documents taken by the Justice Department from his Florida seaside home and resort. This move, appealed by the Justice Department, seems to slow the criminal investigation of Mr. Trump for at least before the November elections, now just two months away. 

This move serves to give some relief to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who was in the tricky position of considering whether to continue to pursue the former president’s alleged illegal removal of top- secret documents from the White House to his Florida home. With the judge’s ruling, Garland no longer has this problem of continuing the probe of Mr. Trump prior to the elections for the time being.

Prior to the judge’s order granting a delay in the investigation, the Biden Administration and Garland faced an unwritten law.  That was something people in Washington called the “60 Day Rule,” which forbids overt action that might be construed as political and could influence the midterm elections. Now Mr. Garland is freed from having to make that decision. 

However, that unwritten rule is one that has generally been observed in matters for the Justice Department. While it is unwritten and vague in detail, the manual of the Department says that the timing of any action “for the purpose of affect any election,” or to intentionally help or hurt a particular candidate or party should not happen. That seems to discourage any movement, though it may have been built to be deliberately vague.

What this unwritten element seeks to do is to prevent any sudden bombshell announcement that might influence how the people vote in a soon-to-be-held upcoming election.  In reality, it’s part of the American long-held tradition of being fair to all sides.  In some instances, it seems to go overboard in being overly fair to people suspected of doing wrong. But the overriding principle is that our government should be fair to all.

That didn’t happen, however, in 2016, regarding Hillary Clinton’s election campaign. FBI Director James Comey sent out a letter two weeks before the 2016 election, on October 28. The letter said that the FBI was pursuing options to review newly discovered emails that may be “pertinent” to the Clinton case. That might have significantly hurt the Clinton election chances, since it came so close to Election Day. And it certainly violated Washington’s “60 day rule.”

In the current political climate, the seizing of the Top Secret documents from President Trump’s residence is only one of many cases that face the former president. There is the ongoing January 6 insurrection investigation, currently on hold with congressional recess.  However, there is no “60 day rule” governing the Congress.

There are several other elements facing President Trump.  Some say that the investigation by the Fulton County Grand Jury about President Trump and his aides trying to change the outcome of the Georgia presidential election results may be the first case that will go to trial, quite possibly soon.  There’s little doubt that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Williams plans to slow down her investigation because of the “60 Day Rule.”   

Our country is going through awkward times, as events evolve around the antics of a disgraced president.  The country will muddle through, abiding by lawful rules, giving any defendants their full freedoms.  

The Constitution envisions speedy justice, not delay after delay to put things off as long as possible.  Let’s move it along and see if our country can start to blow away the heavy fog of delay to get this national nightmare behind us and step forward in a more positive manner.

Gwinnett teens get introduction to urban farming

NORCROSS, Ga.  |  For eight Gwinnett County teenagers, their introduction to urban farming began as a way to help others.

 “Feed Gwinnett” a paid youth internship organized by the non-profit Gardens for Growing Community emphasizes interpersonal and work skills development while addressing food insecurity, a problem affecting approximately 44,000 children under the age of 18 in Gwinnett County alone. Under the mentorship of urban farmer Gwendolyn Washington and Brookwood High School teacher Carrie Settles-Livers, the interns engage soil-and-aquaponics-based growing systems to produce nearly 150 pounds of fresh vegetables and herbs, feeding almost 50 families during the 26-week program that ran from February into August of 2022.

Logan Zimmerman, a recent Discovery High School graduate, recognizes the experience as a turning point in his career goals.

“There was this huge storm and rainwater from the surrounding neighborhood flooded down into the area where we had planted food. It made me question how water quality affects the food we eat. Now I’m on a mission to bring some answers back to my community”, he explained. Zimmerman’s concern inspired him to obtain state water testing certifications this summer, and as a college freshman, focus his studies on water quality.

For rising senior LilyAnna Butler, the experience gives her self-confidence a boost.

“I’m actually shocked at how much it changed me. I’m more outgoing now, and taking risks that I would never have done before. I really surprised myself when I found the courage to lead a farm tour– that was totally unlike me before this,” says Butler. With her newly acquired confidence, Butler raised her hand to lead this year’s environmental club at Discovery High School where she currently attends.

The teens also helped Washington harvest and package her produce for farmers markets, assisting with sales and even running their own booth during market.

“At first it was difficult for me to open up to people at the market, ” admits Camden Rudd, a recent Brookwood HS graduate. “But this experience improved my communication skills. I want to go into vet medicine and I’ll need these skills to communicate with pet owners.”

Despite challenges posed by weather, pests, and in the case of the aquaponics system a damaging power failure, the interns persevered.

“Not many can endure working in freezing cold and extreme heat, but we survived it all. That made me proud of myself, and it was worth it because we could feed so many families,” says Stephanie Ramos, a Paul Duke High graduate. 

According to G4GC founder Tixie Fowler, personal growth is embedded into the program’s vision.“You can’t connect deeply with nature and not be changed,” says Fowler. “Playing soccer or walking a dog is just ‘being outside’ and while that’s a great start, when you’re farming like these teens were, you’re truly immersed in nature, in the rain, the cold, the heat, the beautiful moments in between. Our program pushes them just a bit outside of their comfort zones, and nature works her magic from there. You can’t help but grow!”

Fundraising for Feed Gwinnett’s 2023 internship is already underway, with plans to invite more students, expand programming and increase production. For more information about Feed Gwinnett and other nature-based opportunities for young people, visit www.GardensforGrowingcommunity.com.

FEEDBACK

Here’s a student caught in Catch 22 Pell Grant situation

Editor, the Forum:

Let me agree with Dan Bollinger’s point of colleges requiring unnecessary classes to get a degree which increases costs to the student. If you look at many international schools, they get right to work on your major as a freshman instead of requiring all the prerequisites like phys ed, foreign language, and history. 

As an engineering major, our “flunk out “ classes were physics and advanced math. It makes sense for an engineer to do well in these. History, English, and humanities did nothing for my career since I already had these in high school. The college made their money off me though repeating what I had already learned.

My daughter-in-law has a bachelor’s and master’s from two foreign universities. She wanted to continue her education here but Georgia universities would not recognize any of her credits. She will have to test out of some of some courses. This is another way for the college to cost students more. She also cannot get a Pell Grant as she has a bachelor’s degree even though none of the credits transfer. Go figure.

Technical schools are the answer to many student’s needs. Less semesters, lower costs, and good jobs are available on graduation. I am all for free junior college and trade school tuition. This helps those out with those going on to higher learning as well. 

As far as forgiving loans, if you made the deal, you should be held responsible. Nobody held a gun to your head to sign the papers or go to a college you could not afford.

Of total county budget, only 41% comes from property taxes

Editor, the Forum: 

The Tax Commissioner’s Office only breaks Property Taxes out by Real Property and Personal Property on their reports.  We can estimate each of these revenue categories by the amount of the tax digest that is residential vs. commercial. Using this methodology for the 2022 adopted budget, we estimate 25 percent of the budget is funded by residential property taxes and 16 percent is funded by commercial property taxes.

The other categories of the budget are charge for services, fines and forfeitures, licenses and permits, etc.   (Our Budget Document provides a breakout of the various revenue sources in Section III, page 3 (page 101 overall). 

FYI, the taxes portion (46 percent) of this revenue includes other tax related revenues in addition to property taxes such as items like insurance premium taxes, title ad-valorem taxes, etc.

SPLOST is not included in this revenue breakout.  SPLOST is a capital fund and the revenue for those funds can be found in Section V, page 25 and 26 (page 289 and 290 overall)

Here are details on the nominees:

Beauty P. Baldwin is a native of Baldwin County, Ga., and a graduate of Savannah State College. She earned a Master and a Specialist Degree in Administration and Supervision from the University of Georgia.  Mrs. Baldwin has dedicated more than 50 years of her life to educating the children of Georgia, as a teacher and principal. She retired as superintendent of Buford City Schools in June 1994. She was the first African-American female superintendent of a Georgia school district

Clyde Strickland is a native of Selma, N.C. He and his wife, Sandra, built Metro Waterproofing to a multi million dollar corporation over the past 50 years.

Good Sam Gwinnett offers long Covid evaluation services

Good Samaritan Health Centers of Gwinnett (Good Sam Gwinnett) has begun offering a new long Covid-19 evaluation services on a deeply discounted basis to poor and uninsured residents. Both of its Norcross clinics will offer a low-cost consultation to discuss, diagnose and treat long COVID-19, a growing phenomenon in which patients who previously had COVID-19 experience symptoms for four or more weeks after the initial onset.

The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) says that about one in five U.S. adults who have had COVID-19 in the past also experienced long COVID symptoms. The symptoms associated with long COVID are commonly cough, shortness of breath, fatigue and brain fog. However, the entire list of symptoms is lengthy, ranging from cardiovascular issues to digestive problems, rashes, emotional stress and more. 

Since long COVID is a new illness, several health providers may not be equipped to associate the plethora of symptoms with the illness. Therefore, patients end up having to see more than one specialist to address each one of their complaints. Good Sam Gwinnett is trying to help patients curb their healthcare costs by providing an all-in-one service to address the many symptoms of long COVID.

Continental Drifter by Marianna Harris

From Karen J. Harris, Stone Mountain: Author and Actor Marianna Harris takes the reader on a riveting odyssey of the western United States in the memoir. Over five years, she explores sites that pulsate with life, mystery, and grace that can only be captured by breathing in the air, speaking with sojourners and experiencing the connectedness with nature that defines us as people. The author has a gift for both creating an experience for the reader and reliving the experience herself as she shares insights gleaned from each locale.  The experience of the Grand Circle of the Colorado Plateau brings the mysteries of the “living landscape” of the American desert southwest to life. Of all the places the reader will visit, it is in Death Valley that a psychic wound is identified along with traces of the souls of emigrant peoples who met with untimely circumstances. Yes, I’ll confess that the author is my sister!

GEORGIA TIDBIT

Abraham Baldwin, a distinguished Georgian, founded UGA

The founder of the University of Georgia and a delegate to the constitutional convention in 1787, Abraham Baldwin was born on November 22, 1754, to Lucy Dudley and Michael Baldwin in North Guilford, Conn. His father, a blacksmith who had 12 children by two wives, borrowed money to send his son to Yale College. Baldwin studied theology at Yale and prepared for a career as a minister before the turbulent years of the American Revolution.

Baldwin  graduated from Yale in 1772 and taught there as a tutor until 1779, when he became a chaplain in the Revolutionary army. After the war ended, he studied law and was admitted to the Connecticut bar. Receiving a land grant in Wilkes County, Georgia, Baldwin subsequently moved to Columbia County (which until 1790 was part of Richmond County). In 1784 Baldwin moved to Augusta, where he began practicing law. During this time, he also began a successful career in Georgia politics.

After Baldwin turned down a prestigious teaching position as professor of divinity at Yale, Georgia governor Lyman Hall persuaded him to accept the responsibility of creating an educational plan for both secondary and higher education in the state. Baldwin strongly believed that education was the key to developing frontier states like Georgia. Once elected to the Georgia state legislature, he developed a comprehensive educational plan that ultimately included land grants from the state to fund the establishment of the University of Georgia (at the time also known as Franklin College) in Athens. Through Baldwin’s efforts, the state approved a charter for the University of Georgia in 1785. Baldwin served as the first president of the institution during its initial planning phase, from 1786 to 1801. In 1801 the University of Georgia opened to students; it was architecturally modeled on Baldwin’s alma mater, Yale.

Baldwin remained active in politics during his years as president of the University of Georgia. He continued to hold his seat in the Georgia Assembly until 1789, but in 1785 he was also elected to the Confederation congress. Two years later, Baldwin served as one of four Georgia delegates to the constitutional convention of 1787 (the other delegates were William Few Jr., William Houston, and William Pierce). Of the Georgia delegates, only he and William Few signed the constitution.

MYSTERY PHOTO

Take a close look at what is going on in this mystery 

There’s more to today’s Mystery Photo that it may seem. Figure out where it is, and tell me about this photograph. Send your ideas to elliott@brack.net and include your hometown.

Charles Anderson, Lawrenceville, recognized the last mystery immediately. “It is the Maine Hunting Boot mobile at the L. L. Bean Company. Freeport, Maine. I have a pair that I bought in 1992. You can send them back to them to be resoled when they wear down, which I have done.” (The photo was made by the editor on a recent Maine vacation.)

Several people also spotted this photo, including George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Billy Chism, Toccoa; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Gloria James, Lawrenceville; Mark Smith, Eatonton; Lindsay Borenstein, Atlanta; and Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex.

Peel tells us: “This photo is of one of three L.L. Bean Bootmobiles, taken on the grounds of the L.L. Bean Hunting  Fishing Store Freeport. With over three million visitors each year, this L.L. Bean flagship store is Freeport’s largest attraction, open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Bootmobile is a 16.5-foot tall replica of the all-weather Bean Boot. If it was a real boot, its size would be 410!

“A second Bootmobile was added in 2013 and in 2019, Bootmobile 3.0 came to the fleet. The three Bootmobiles have covered more than 350,000 miles, appeared at hundreds of events in 25 states, two countries, and dozens of college campuses.”
