TODAY’S FOCUS

Two more annexation hearings set for Lawrenceville

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. |  The City of Lawrenceville will host two final Public Information Meetings ahead of the May 19, 2026 annexation vote which would expand the city limits.  The meeting will provide residents with an opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and receive information about the proposal.

The final meetings will be held Wednesday, May 6 at 6 p.m. and Thursday, May 14 at 6 p.m. at City Hall Council Chambers, 70 S. Clayton Street in Lawrenceville

These sessions follow two earlier meetings held on March 18 and April 23, which were well attended and included questions from the community.

Mayor David Still says: “We’ve had two well-attended meetings so far, and we appreciate the questions from residents. We look forward to the remaining two opportunities to share details ahead of the vote. The annexation webpage, including FAQs, has been updated based on those discussions.”

Registered voters in the proposed annexation area will have the opportunity to vote during the State and County Primary Election on May 19, 2026. The ballot question will read:

“Shall the Act which annexes certain land into the City of Lawrenceville be approved?”
( ) YES  ( ) NO 

If approved, the annexation would bring properties within the proposed area into the Lawrenceville city limits and extend city services, including police, code enforcement, and other municipal services. The proposal does not increase the tax millage rate or remove senior discounts. 

Early voting is currently underway and will continue through May 15.

Residents are encouraged to review additional information, including maps and frequently asked questions, at lville.city/annexation. The website also allows residents to confirm whether their property is included in the proposed annexation area.  

For questions about a specific property or city services, residents may contact city staff at annexation2026@lawrencevillega.org.

The City of Lawrenceville encourages all residents in the proposed area to review available information ahead of the upcoming vote.

EEB PERSPECTIVE

Ted Turner: What a tremendous champion he was

By Elliott Brack
Editor and publisher, GwinnettForum

MAY 8, 2026  |  What a tremendous person Ted Turner was! We are so pleased to have slightly known him. He died May 6 in Lamont, Fla., at age 87.

He was driven, super intelligent, an original thinker, an environmentalist of the first order, a sportsman, an astute businessman, able to create the future from his own mind, and a worldwide leader in philanthropy.

Ted Turner had to jump in at an early age on the death of his father to lead a South Georgia outdoor advertising company. From this, he seemed to take off with new successful ventures year after year.

  • He bought a failing Atlanta independent low-power television station, Atlanta’s Channel 17, naming it WTCG  (Turner Communications Group) then turned it around. Then he made that station into a national network in 1976, Turner Broadcasting System. He called it a “superstation” and started bouncing signals off satellites so that people around the entire nation could be his viewers.
  • To provide low-cost programming for his station, he bought the Atlanta Braves baseball team, creating Braves’ fans in all the states, becoming “America’s team.” He instituted 24 hour-around-the-clock television, because as he saw it, “some people work late and don’t have anything to watch in the late hours.”
  • Perhaps his most far-reaching move was next: In 1980 he launched a 24-hour news channel, Cable News Network, to the skepticism of broadcasters. But he made it work, and completely changed the world’s television business, with CNN becoming a major force internationally.
  • Continuing thinking in new directions, he launched other cable networks, notably Turner Classic Movies, buying a vast portfolio of movie titles, to fill his channels.
  • From the start, he was an environmentalist. I first knew him when the Atlanta Gas Light Company sponsored the Peach Bowl, who invited media to the game. We watched Turner as he drove off, folding his six-foot-three frame into a small four cylinder Datsun. Years later he would amass over two million acres of land in North America, and become a major contributor to restoring buffalo herds on his lands. He considered bringing  back buffalo herds as his greatest accomplishment. His herd at one time numbered 45,000 head.  Later he started Ted’s Montana Grill, a chain of restaurants.
  • Turner became super rich after selling his media empire to Time Warner for $7.5 billion.  Soon he gave $1 billion to the United Nations for peace, development and poverty relief programs. When announcing that gift, he said: ““I’ve never been happier or more pleased with myself than I am today.”

Of course, the above is only an overlay of Ted Turner’s great accomplishments. There’s much more, such as sailing to win the America’s Cup, buying the Atlanta Hawks, starting the Goodwill games, and on and on.

He once was quoted saying he would be perfect if he had just a bit of humility, and gave this assessment of his mental acuity: “I’m not that brilliant. I mean, basically I know what my IQ was. I was only in the 97th percentile. Three percent of the people in this country are smarter than me, and with 300 million people, that’s a couple — that’s millions of people that are smarter than me, basically.”

It’s good to see people like Ted Turner show the rest of the world how you can find major success, then give back and help others. He was a true American champion.  

Robert Edward “Ted” Turner III (1938-2026): May you rest in peace.

ANOTHER VIEW

Firearm ownership enable deaths to continue to climb

 By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist

“After three assassination attempts, some people say that President @realDonaldTrump is one lucky man.–  The Rev. Franklin Graham.

PEACHTREE CITY  |  We all agree Trump is lucky. However, Billy Graham’s son goes on to state that: “God has kept him here for a reason.” Virtually all GOP national and state politicos say that prayer and Godliness is the solution to violence. 

As for myself, I believe that the good Lord gave us a brain to think. We have more gun deaths per capita than any other advanced nation. We are also more religious than most. If religiosity were the answer to gun violence, the opposite would be true.

Furthermore, no one who examines the facts could believe that the lack of religion is the key problem underlying U.S. firearm deaths. Per Pew Research, these are the most devout states: Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota, Louisiana, and Tennessee. All except South Dakota are in the deep red South, a hotbed of firearm violence.

So, are these highly religious states also the states with the lowest gun deaths per capita? If prayer were the answer, we would expect them to be. 

Quite the opposite is true when we look at state rankings regarding firearm deaths/100,000  based on 2022 CDC data:  1: Mississippi; 2: Louisiana; 9: South Carolina; 10: Tennessee; 23: South Dakota. 

Thus, our most religious states, except South Dakota, are also in the top 10 gun violence states. Mississippi is our most religious state…and also has the  highest rate of firearm violence. 

The least religious states are Oregon, Nevada, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. If prayer were the answer, these states would have much more gun violence relative to the more devout states. Again, the opposite is true. Of these five states, all but Nevada have fewer firearms deaths than the average state. In other words, the least religious states have much less gun violence than do the most religious. 

Does this mean that agnostics are less prone to violence than those who are believers? Not necessarily but, if believers pray more, the assumption that prayer is the answer to reducing firearm deaths is incorrect.

When examining states with the lowest rates of deaths/100,000 from firearms, it is clear there is a better solution to gun violence. What do they have in common? States with the lowest gun death rates also have strong gun control. Specifically, here are the five states and the strength of their gun laws: No. 1 Hawaii; No. 3, New York; No. 5, New Jersey; No 6: Massachusetts; and No. 9, Rhode Island

For believers, prayer provides a multitude of benefits for those in need of solace and comfort. But, when self-serving politicians state that Godliness and prayer is the only answer to decrease firearm deaths, simply don’t accept their words as true. 

Similarly, when your firearm toting buddies tell you that guns make us safe, tell them the facts.The more easily guns are available, the more deaths by guns in our state and nation. 

Prayers don’t reduce firearm deaths, but very strong gun control laws clearly do. It’s up to each of us to tell our elected officials we expect them to act.

UPCOMING

COVID monkey wrench didn’t stop co-ed’s plans

Anyone with a degree of ambition knows that life can throw a monkey wrench into your best-laid plans. Those who came of age during the COVID-19 pandemic experienced that phenomenon on a scale never seen before. An entire generation was derailed and left to forge their way back on track through uncharted territory.

Jean-Jules

For Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) graduating senior Shakira Jean-Jules, that detour proved to be something wholly unexpected: Serendipity.

Jean-Jules grew up in Miami, Fla., “Where the sun beams on your skin so hard, you’ll melt quicker than an ice cream cone.” She was raised by her parents, Haitian immigrants whose lives were rooted in faith and hard work. Her father was a business owner and pastor, and her mother was a nurse.

“They did their absolute best to raise me in a country that was foreign to them,” said Jean-Jules. “While they didn’t know much about the culture here, the one thing they knew deeply was the value of education.”

That belief drove Jean-Jules to excel at school. She kept her grades up, volunteered and prayed to get into a big-name school like the University of Florida or Florida State University. She felt in her heart it was her destiny, and as she approached her junior year, that goal seemed so close she could reach out and touch it. But the year was 2020. She was attending William H. Turner Technical Arts High School in Miami-Dade County. That March, when she and her classmates were sent home for Spring Break, they never returned.

“We thought we were almost at the finish line,” she recalls. “But there was no Junior Bash. Instead, we were sitting behind screens in school shirts and pajama pants, taking naps between classes. We didn’t need to hear the definition of ‘pandemic’ to know that life had changed. Many people lacked immunity, not just to the virus, but to the mental, emotional and financial toll it took.”

All the colleges she was aiming to attend required SAT scores for her application to even be considered. She scheduled and rescheduled her exam seven times before she realized it would just keep getting canceled.

“I felt lost. Stuck. Discouraged,” she says. “But then I stumbled on a Georgia Gwinnett College advertisement that mentioned a SAT waiver and free application. It felt too perfect.”

But it wasn’t. She started her first summer class at GGC with the intention of getting a nursing degree. “I had no intention of getting involved or meeting people.”

Serendipity struck and she found a new passion for helping people when she changed her major to Health Science with a concentration in public health. But when out-of-state tuition became overwhelming and she started considering moving back to Miami, she realized she didn’t want to leave.

To stay, she joined the Georgia Army National Guard and GGC’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program. What started as a way to pay for school turned into a family.

“We slept with bugs in the woods, baked in the hot Georgia sun pulling security and got lost in the dark doing land navigation,” she recalls. “Embracing what is hard together is what brought us closer.”

It was then she realized everything she always wanted was right in front of her at GGC. She got involved, serving in multiple leadership roles and as a residential assistant for three years, and started a Bible study group that is still active today.

“Being a Grizzly has taught me humility,” she says. “It brought me into a community and handed me opportunities to build resilience. It wasn’t what I planned, but it’s what I needed, and I’m grateful.”

GGC students create AI-powered study buddy app 

You’ve got your textbook, your notes and a study group, but sometimes, a little extra help can make all the difference.

For three Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) students, that extra help comes in the form of an artificial intelligence (AI) app they developed to support students preparing for exams across a variety of subjects.

Keyvaun Herring, a Lilburn resident and GGC senior majoring in IT with a systems and cybersecurity concentration  says: “Originally, we centered the app around math, but we shifted to technology since it’s growing and AI is taking over the market.” 

The app, called Pi, takes its name from the mathematical ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Even after pivoting to a broader technology focus, the team kept the name and incorporated a pie graphic into the app’s design.

How does Pi help students study?

Lorena Salazar, a Winder resident and senior majoring in IT with a concentration in systems and cybersecurity, says: “You can give it a subject, and it will generate short quiz questions based on specific pieces of information.” 

Beyond practice questions, Pi also creates flashcards and customized study plans, allowing users to tailor their experience.

Kyla Thorpe, a Suwanee resident and junior majoring in IT with a concentration in systems and cybersecurity adds: “You can even choose how many flashcards you want to study.” 

The app took approximately two months to develop, offering the students valuable hands-on experience.

Thorpe says: “This is one of my first AI projects, so I learned a lot of Python. I also learned how to integrate AI into a real-world application.”

Throughout the process, the team discovered that building an app requires more than technical skills.

Herring finds: “It’s been a new experience to apply everything we’ve learned during our studies in cybersecurity and software development. You also have to know how to work effectively as a team.”

While Pi is not yet widely available, the students hope to expand its capabilities in the future. “We’d like to make it more comprehensive and cover more subjects,” says Thorpe. “But Pi is designed to help you study—not do the work for you.”

As graduation approaches, each student is preparing for the next step in their journey.

Herring is currently seeking internships, with plans to secure a full-time role at a financial firm specializing in Java.

Salazar is looking for a fall internship, where she hopes to explore different areas within IT. “That experience will help me figure out what I want to specialize in,” she says.

For Thorpe, the future includes continuing her education. “I’ll see where the wind takes me,” she says. “But I definitely want to pursue a master’s degree in cybersecurity.”

The Agatha Christie of the USA, Mary Roberts Rinehart

From Marlene Ratledge Buchahan, Snellville:  Mary Roberts Rinehart, the Agatha Christie of the USA, wrote at least 55 mysteries. All were well received in their time, but are just as viable in our current time. These are intriguing stories with enough plot twists to keep you engaged and wondering. In several she has her own Hercule Poirot as a thinking nurse, based on her own nursing experiences. She absorbs details and processes them using her nursing experience and watching eyes to pull the revealing clues together to solve the problem. These are easy and enjoyable books to read. I hope you will discover some of the older mystery writers and see how our modern day authors have evolved

GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA

Gray was key railroad contractor in the South

John D. Gray was the first major railroad contractor in the South. As John D. Gray and Company, he and his brother William C. Gray constructed railroads  throughout the South. In addition, Gray was a versatile manufacturer for the Confederacy during the Civil War.

John David Gray was born in 1808 in London, England, to Elizabeth Granger and Thomas Gray. The family immigrated to the United States when John was young. Gray married Ann Amelia Gnech, and they had four children, two of whom, Charles and Arthur, lived to adulthood. After his wife’s death in 1855, Gray married Mary Jane Moore, and they had five children. Four of these children, Oscar David, George Thomas, Anna Leila, and Jane Carolina, lived to adulthood.

The Gray brothers began their enterprising careers in the 1820s on the frontier of railroad construction and manufacturing in Columbia, S.C., working in the internal improvements movement. Gray’s company received the major contract for the construction of the South Carolina Railroad, the first railroad in the South.

Gray built three of Florida’s four territorial railroads, the Lake Wimico and St. Joseph Railroad, the Iola and St. Joseph Railroad, and the Tallahassee Railroad. He was also a key figure in the boomtown development of St. Joseph. 

The Gray Company’s efforts in Georgia began when the Monroe Railroad (later the Macon and Western) brought Gray to Macon to manage the company. He became president of the railroad and finished the route to Griffin and most of the grading to Atlanta. His company constructed the bulk of the Western and Atlantic Railroad from Dalton to Chattanooga, Tennessee, including the tunnel through Chetoogeta Mountain, the first extensive railroad tunnel in the Southeast. 

Gray was the prime mover and contractor of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad and the Augusta and Savannah Railroad. He built sections of the Muscogee Railroad, the North and South Railroad to Rome, the Mobile and Girard, and the Upson County Railroad.

In Alabama, Gray built the Opelika, Alabama, to Columbus, Georgia, branch of the Montgomery and West Point Railroad and the seventy-foot railroad cut, reputed to be one of the deepest railroad cuts in the world at the time, at Brock’s Gap on the South and North Alabama Railroad. Gray constructed the line of the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad from Cleveland, Tennessee, to Chattanooga as well as the tunnel.

When the Civil War began in 1861, Gray was one of the first to manufacture guns in Georgia, under the names of John D. Gray and Company and the Columbus Armory at Columbus. A versatile Confederate manufacturer, Gray produced carbines, Mississippi rifles, Enfield rifles, muskets, sabers, knives, canteens, buckets, poles, gunstocks, bayonet-scabbards, pick axes, shovels, cookware for the field, kettles, nests of tubs, castings, trace chains, axes, pole slides, and tent buttons. 

After the war Gray reconstructed the Dillingham Street Bridge in Columbus that had been destroyed during the war. With the profit, he incorporated the Atlanta Mining and Rolling Mill Company, which was financed in part by railroads. He continued to construct railroads, rebuilt Graysville, and worked on large and important projects up to the last years of his life. He died in Graysville on November 17, 1878.

MYSTERY PHOTO

More than one element in this Mystery Photo

Today we have a classical church, in a somewhat peaceful setting.  But there is another national element nearby. See if you can put two and two together to make sense out of this Mystery Photo.  

Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.: “Port of Alesund, Norway. The prominent building located high above the port is the Fjellstua Cafe and Viewpoint on the Aksla hill.”

Three others recognized the photo. George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; and Erin Hart, Duluth, who added: “It is a delightful small town on the coast, and an excellent base for a day trip into the fjords.  Travelers to Norway should be sure to include Alesund on their itinerary. It was a wonderful trip beginning in Trondheim and ending in Oslo.  What a beautiful and interesting country!”

Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, added: “Alesund, is approximately 230 miles northwest of Norway’s capital city, Oslo. The mountain in the background is Mount Aksla, which rises roughly 620 feet above sea level. The white building at the summit of the mountain is the Fjellstua Restaurant, also known as Fjellstua 418, a historic restaurant and café that focuses on traditional Norwegian cuisine sourced from local ingredients.

“Why is this restaurant also called “Fjellstua 418”? Look carefully at the photo, and you will see a pathway leading up the steep mountain face to the left of the white building. These are actually called the Aksla Stairs, which consist of 418 steps that lead from the Town Park to Fjellstua 418. It is a popular hike for locals and tourists alike to use as a strenuous exercise and to access the summit … to be ultimately rewarded for their efforts with spectacular panoramic views of the Art Nouveau town of Ålesund, the Sunnmøre Alps, and the surrounding islands…and of course…some fantastic Norwegian seafood in the restaurant.

“For those having difficulty locating the Aksla Stairs in the photo, I have attached an annotated version that highlights where these steps and pathway are located.”
