GwinnettForum  |  Number 22.41 | June 6, 2023

GWINNETT POLICE will soon install additional safety cameras across the county. Flock cameras are used to find missing persons and provide officers with real-time information on where stolen vehicles and suspects of crime are located. With these cameras, investigators can look at historical data from 30 days prior to track vehicles and license plates associated with particular crimes. Thanks to partnerships with local homeowners associations and community improvement districts, Gwinnett Police have access to footage from around 800 Flock cameras currently installed throughout the county.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga.  |  In a departure from traditional chambers of commerce, the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber of Commerce is beginning to blaze a trail by prioritizing the holistic success of women. With a focus on wellness, access to funding, and embracing technology, this new organization is seeking to empower women entrepreneurs and professionals to achieve their full potential.

Led by founders myself and Georgette Taylor, we are visionary business partners with a history of collaboration spanning over two decades.  The Gwinnett Women’s Chamber of Commerce aims to transform the way women approach business success. Our shared journey began in the doll industry, where we revolutionized the market by introducing the first plus-size fashion dolls, adding a new dimension to the world of dolls.

Our idea in conceptualizing the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber was to have a mission to go beyond the conventional boundaries of business support. Recognizing the multi-faceted nature of success, this new  chamber incorporates innovative components rarely found in traditional chambers. One such element is the provision of grants to members, including a small grant specifically designed to help entrepreneurs hire virtual assistants for short-term support. This initiative acknowledges the fact that many entrepreneurs operate as solopreneurs and could benefit from a little extra help to alleviate the burdens they face.

The Gwinnett Women’s Chamber of Commerce places a strong emphasis on wellness as a foundational pillar of success. The organization understands that a woman’s overall well-being plays a crucial role in her professional achievements. To support members in their journey toward wellness, the Chamber provides resources and support for physical, mental, and emotional health. By prioritizing self-care, members are equipped with the resilience and vitality necessary to thrive both personally and professionally.

Access to funding is another key area where the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber distinguishes itself. The organization recognizes the financial challenges that women often encounter when starting or growing their businesses. In response, the Chamber offers a range of funding opportunities, including grants, to its members. These grants empower women to take their ventures to new heights and make lasting impacts within their communities. By removing financial barriers, the Chamber is leveling the playing field and fostering an environment where women can flourish.

The Gwinnett Women’s Chamber also recognizes the vital role of technology in today’s digital landscape. By embracing technology and providing educational resources, the Chamber ensures its members stay at the forefront of innovation. Through various initiatives and programs, including workshops and training sessions, the Chamber equips women with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the rapidly evolving business landscape with confidence and proficiency.

While success is often portrayed as an individual pursuit, the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber emphasizes the power of community and collaboration. By fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, the Chamber encourages members to build strong networks and benefit from the collective wisdom and experiences of like-minded individuals. Women in business are not alone; they have a community behind them, ready to offer guidance, support, and opportunities for growth.

The Gwinnett Women’s Chamber of Commerce is redefining the concept of business support for women. With its unwavering commitment to wellness, access to funding, embracing technology, and fostering a supportive community, the chamber is setting a new standard for empowering women in Gwinnett County and beyond. By providing comprehensive resources, innovative opportunities, and a collaborative network, the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber ensures that women can thrive both personally and professionally.

EEB PERSPECTIVE

Many newcomers miss out of Georgia’s seacoast

By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum

JUNE 6, 2023  |  Many of the newcomers to Georgia aren’t getting the full pleasure of living in Georgia. They move here from the West, the Midwest and the Northeast, and soon think: “Oh boy! We’re within a hard day’s drive to the Florida beaches.”

Little do they know. The wonderful Georgia coastal communities have many attractions that the Florida sand doesn’t have, are a little closer, and much less expensive, on the average.  These newcomers seem to recognize the pleasures of the Georgia mountains, perhaps because the mountains are closer to the population core, but never consider giving much thought to the coast of our state and its barrier islands.

They would be in for a pleasant surprise. Let’s tick the islands off, north to south.

Savannah, the birthplace of Georgia, is 4.5 hours from Lawrenceville, all along interstate routes. Enjoy its charm, its elegant homes and 22 squares in the one-square-mile downtown, and its different way of living.  Tybee Island is 26 miles away, has a good beach and a growing hotel and rental market.

The Golden Isles of Georgia are off the coast near Brunswick, 300 miles away, and are favorite places of ours.   

  • There’s St. Simons Island, with its pleasant village, four miles of beach and plenty of rental houses and hotels. We enjoy the beach around the former Coast Guard Station. East Beach is a good quality living area.
  • Sea Island is highly exclusive, admitted only at one gate with approval of residents.  There is The Cloister at Sea Island Club, an ultra-element destination. There are many elegant homes for sea living with five miles of unobstructed beaches.  
  • The third of the Golden Isles is Jekyll Island, essentially a state park, with 10 miles of open beach, and a few hotels facing the beach. The island was once the Millionaire’s Island, owned by the wealthy as the best beach on the Atlantic coast. The state of Georgia in 1946 purchased the 14 mile long island for $650,000! What a bargain! You can  park in lots facing the ocean, and walk directly to the beaches. 

At the southern end of Georgia is Cumberland Island National Seashore and Georgia’s largest barrier island at 16 miles long. Most people drive to St. Marys to board a ferry for a day trip to this island.  You can camp on the island, with a reservation. Many explore this protected island on rented bicycles, but there are no restaurants on the island. Bring your own food. St.Marys is five hours from Atlanta.

Though all these destinations are great, we must admit that we come back again and again to St. Simons Island, a mixture of activities, seaside businesses, full time homes and lots of rental properties, plus several mighty good restaurants. It’s more everyday living than the upper-crust of Sea Island, and yet not so out-and-out beachy as Jekyll, and is much easier to get to rather than having to take a ferry to Cumberland.  If you are a golfer, St. Simons and Jekyll are your best bets. And fishing, of course, is all around you on the coast.

As for seafood, we often return from the coast with fresh shrimp and crab in our coolers. No, not big Dungeness crab, but the wonderful sweet Georgia blue crab. You can make it a delightful night picking and eating the Georgia crab. Many catch their own off a pier or in a boat. All you need are weighted lines tied around chicken necks, and a net to land the crab.  Sooome gooood!

You newcomers, consider the Georgia coast for your next vacation outing!

FEEDBACK

Figures entitlements are something he’s already paid for

Editor, the Forum: 

Are Social Security and Medicare “entitlements,” or are they promised programs bought and paid for through the taxes that were supposedly dedicated for those purposes? 

Entitlements suggest those programs, and lest we forget veterans benefits, are also often included as an entitlement, are programs the working populace has either paid for or earned through service to this nation. And while I agree those programs are somewhat costly, balancing the budget, or reducing the deficit should not solely be borne by the working class, and those who defended this nation. 

I personally resent referring to those programs with what is considered a pejorative term like entitlements. I and many others have paid for those programs one way or another. We are simply receiving what is due us.

– Dan Bollinger, Sr., Loganville

Perhaps a presidential commission could solve entitlements

Editor, the Forum: 

Jack Bernard presented a clear analysis of the entitlements problem in the United States, and I am in agreement with his proposed solution. With each passing day the problem of forging a solution will become more difficult. Let’s hope Congress does not continue to kick the can down the road. Could the president help by being proactive and appointing such a commission?

– John Titus, Peachtree Corners 

Wants more information earlier on a timely basis

Editor, the Forum: 

The AJC had an article recently on the new development plan. Of course the first informational meeting was the night after the story was published. It was not at all publicized by the county. Hoping you could get the info out on this as I know there are quite a few of us now that are not happy in the direction the county is going in regards to development , traffic, and crime.

She brings more than 20 years of corporate business experience to the role and served for four years (2019-2022) as a member of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners. Fosque began her role with the organization on June 1. 

A former professional with Aetna, Fosque has more than 20 years of private business experience. Within the private sector, she has installed project management strategies, led workflow and process improvement initiatives and improved overall customer satisfaction ratings. Most recently, she created and launched her own consulting firm to lead strategic planning and execution services for both public and private sector organizations.

GGC grad comes for softball, now heads for grad school

Pelaez, photo provided.

Sydney Pelaez says that if there is one thing you should know about her, it’s that she likes to set goals for herself, both realistic and lofty, and then knock them out of the park. 

Exhibit A was her decision to leave the familiarity of Tampa, Fla., where she grew up, and move 500 miles north to Gwinnett County, as soon as she graduated from high school. She came to play for Georgia Gwinnett College’s (GGC) women’s softball team, mainly, but there was more to it than that. She started each game this season as the team’s catcher, and his .438 for the season.

“This was a school that I thought would push me to succeed and set me up for my future after college,” says Pelaez. “With small class sizes, I knew I would be forced to participate but also know my professors and not just be a number.”

She says she had “done ok” in school to that point, academically, but she knew she could do better if she put herself in the right place. “I always have goals that are lofty and seem like they will be difficult to achieve. When I came to GGC, I was not confident in myself academically. Coming out of high school, I didn’t feel as smart as others. I didn’t make bad grades, but I often found myself hiding in the back of the room because I didn’t think I was as smart as my peers.”

She made it a goal to be better than that at GGC and fully immersed herself in the student-athlete experience in her first year.

“I lived in student housing and was surrounded by people from all over the world with all different backgrounds,” she recalls. “I was able to make many new friends and participate in many on-campus events that GGC offered, and I gained confidence in the classroom.”

On the softball side, she made new friends and traveled to California for the first time. She became a starter and contributed consistently to the team, another goal she’d set for herself. To end a successful first year, the team won the conference tournament’s opening round, and finished fourth at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Softball World Series, which was the furthest in team history.

She built on her momentum during the beginning of her sophomore year, growing as a leader by pushing herself out of her comfort zones. She became director of athletics for the Student Government Association and got involved with the Council for Student Athletes, advocating for student athletes and organizing community service activities.  

At the end of her senior year, she decided to stay another year because she had unfinished business on the softball field. An extra year would also allow her to add to her studies and set herself up for another new goal: graduate school.

Pelaez graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in political science, a double concentration in both international relations and public administration, and a minor in criminal justice/criminology. She has accepted an offer to George Mason University to pursue a Master of Arts in political science, specializing in international security.

“Goals are important in life,” she reiterates. “For me, it’s how I keep myself striving for excellence and continuing to grow. If you set difficult goals and work to achieve them, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.”

Hendrickson is new vice chair of ACCG Committee

Gwinnett Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson is the new vice-chair of the Economic Development and Transportation Policy Committee for the Association County Commissioners of Georgia for 2023-24. Douglas County Commissioner Tarenia Carthan has been named chair. The appointments were made by ACCG President and Baldwin County Commissioner Henry Craig. 

This committee is responsible for identifying progressive state, regional, and local economic development policies and implementation strategies that lead to sustained development throughout the state. In addition to focusing on various issues including tax and investment policies and workforce development, the committee also works to achieve a comprehensive and interconnected transportation system throughout the entire state by addressing the needs of all components of a multimodal system.

Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, translated with Notes by Martin Hammond

From Karen J. Harris, Stone Mountain:  Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor from AD 161 to 180, was a stoic philosopher, and one of three emperors that provided stability for the Roman Empire from AD 27 through AD 180.  His Meditations serve as a compilation of his thoughts about personhood, life, purpose, death, and the beauty and fragility of life.  This translation maintains the unique mixture of thought yet sparseness of language. This is a book to be experienced for both spiritual guidance and for developing a value system that can sustain one through life. The ideas are meant to be pondered, reviewed, digested, and implemented should they fit the framework of the life of the reader. The Preface and Introduction set the stage for an evolutionary reading experience. The Notes section at the end serve to increase understanding of dense thought statements.

GEORGIA TIDBIT

Largest of Georgia’s barrier islands is Cumberland

Cumberland Island, composed of Great and Little Cumberland islands, is the largest and southernmost in a chain of barrier islands extending the length of Georgia, known collectively as the Sea Islands or sometimes as Georgia’s Golden Isles.

Most of Great Cumberland has become the Cumberland Island National Seashore, administered by the National Park Service (NPS). Visitor access is by private ferry from Fernandina Beach, Fla., or by NPS ferry from St. Marys, Ga. Overnight and week-long camping are permitted through the NPS headquarters. Visitors come because of the island’s beauty and variety.

Georgia’s coast is marked by extensive marshes, once regarded as unproductive but now known to be highly productive ecological systems. The two Cumberlands together contain approximately 16,600 acres of high land. Great Cumberland’s beach is more than sixteen miles long. The island, marsh, and estuary system, a major ecological feature of the Sea Islands, is brilliantly displayed at Cumberland, because in more than 350 years there has been little disturbance. Sand beaches and dunes protect the islands from erosion and inundation by the sea. The islands protect the marshes from the force of the sea. The salt marshes trap sediments discharged from mainland rivers, protecting the appearance and recreational qualities of Cumberland’s beach. Its south end is marked by a high dune called Dungeness, a large spit, or finger, of sand and its platform. It is named after a spit in Kent, England—possibly the largest and most dangerous in the world.

 Between 1765 and 1769, 13 Georgians received the first land grants on Cumberland. These tracts became the fifteen plantations and small farms cultivated by enslaved laborers during the nineteenth century.

Dungeness Plantation, established by heirs of Revolutionary general Nathanael Greene, centered on a unique five-story mansion built in 1802 of tabby, a conglomerate locally made of shell and lime. Fire destroyed the mansion in 1866. Ruins of another house, built in 1884, stand at the same site today. 

Although before 1800 Cumberland was almost uninhabited, by 1860 more than 500 enslaved people resided there, a seven to one ratio of enslaved-to-free whites. At the end of the Civil War (1861-65), military authorities placed Cumberland within the 

In 1881-82 Thomas M. Carnegie, a Pittsburgh, Penn. industrialist, bought two defunct plantations on Great Cumberland. His family and descendants built a lavishly appointed estate for hunting and entertaining. Still owners in the 1960s, the Carnegies—joined by other landowners—cooperated with the National Park Foundation, established 1967, to acquire land for public purposes. In 1972 the U.S. Congress legislated into existence the Cumberland Island National Seashore.

Future use of the Sea Islands is of major interest to Georgia. Proposals for the commercial and recreational development of the islands have stimulated intense controversy in the state legislature, in local press and national magazines, and at public hearings. Cumberland remains in a relatively natural state because of its inaccessibility as well as the stewardship of past owners. Conflict continues over resource management issues on Cumberland. Administration of its unique wilderness area has proven to be a dilemma involving the NPS, conservationists, business interests, and island residents.

MYSTERY PHOTO

Can you determine which city owns this skyline?

Here’s a skyline for you to figure out. What city is this?  Send your thoughts to elliott@brack.net, and include your hometown.

The last mystery was a tricky one, and only four people recognized the photo. As Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. reported: “This mystery photo is of an 800-foot granite dome located 1,700-feet west of Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park. The dome is popular with rock climbers and has a number of slab and crack climbing features. I have attached a marked-up version of the mystery photo that highlights two of the most popular rock climbing features of the DAFF Dome –  the West Crack and the Crescent Arch. West Crack was first climbed by Frank Sacherer in June 1963 and Crescent Arch was first climbed (with assistance from Layton Kor and Fred Beckey) in June 1965. DAFF was never officially named as a park feature until after it was first climbed. Prior to the 1960’s, the dome was simply referred to as the Dome Across From Fairview.” Peel also sent along this version of the photo:

Others sending in correct answers were Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.;  and Lou Camerio, Lilburn.  The photo came from Rick Krause of Lilburn.
