15.10: On Eagle Ranch, homeowner’s insurance, Deal’s rights

Here’s one view of the 2015 Snellville Days parade, made by Roving Photographer Frank Sharp. It’s not every parade that has a strings orchestra in the march. It was from Five Forks Middle School Eighth Grade Orchestra. Think of the problems this cello player had in transporting (and playing?) his instrument.

Eagle Ranch has served many children from Gwinnett County

By Stefanie Long

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga., May 5, 2015 — Just a few miles north of the Gwinnett line, there’s a place uniquely designed to help make life better for children and families going through a crisis. It’s called Eagle Ranch.

Spread out over 270 peaceful acres, it’s a community in itself, with homes, recreational facilities, and an accredited school. Boys and girls come to live here, and are given the space and time they need to work through their struggles. Their families stay connected and actively involved during the child’s stay.

Working with the child and family members, Eagle Ranch’s program uses an integrated approach that models home life, emphasizes education, incorporates individual, group and family counseling, and is built on Christian principles.

The aim is for renewal: of the child’s individual purpose and identity; of positive relationships among family members; and of hope for a more promising future.

Staub

In the early 1980s, Eddie Staub moved from Birmingham, Alabama, to North Georgia, an area that research showed was lacking in nearby resources for youth in crisis. The story of Eddie’s determination and struggles in the founding of Eagle Ranch are documented in the book, On Eagle’s Wings.

Today, Eagle Ranch is one of the largest residential children’s programs in Georgia. Located in the Chestnut Mountain community of Flowery Branch, the Christ-centered program provides a home, counseling and education for nearly 70 boys and girls. The Ranch serves children in an 80-mile radius of its campus, keeping them geographically centered in their community.

Many people are surprised to hear that Gwinnett County is one of Eagle Ranch’s top service areas. Within the last five years, the Ranch has served 90 children from Gwinnett and 237 of their family members.

Children as young as eight years old come to Eagle Ranch when circumstances make living at home difficult or impossible. Sometimes this is due to changes in family structure or custody, poor school performance, behavioral issues, judicial requirements or other factors that affect the child and his or her family. The Ranch provides a fresh perspective and the tools needed to forge a new beginning.

Scene at Eagle Ranch

The Ranch campus includes 10 homes, each overseen by a loving houseparent couple, trained to teach life skills and model a healthy family atmosphere. The SACS-accredited Eagle Ranch School provides education for boys and girls in grades 6-9, meeting them at their point of academic need. Licensed Professional Counselors work with each child and family. An on-campus equine program helps children build trust, confidence and leadership skills. Through its global outreach program – the Wings Initiative – Eagle Ranch also equips others called to develop programs for children in need.

Eagle Ranch’s 2015 operating budget totals $3.8 million, which is 100 percent privately funded. The organization has been debt-free since its inception and receives no government funding.

If you know a family struggling with a child, please consider recommending Eagle Ranch. Even if it is not the right program for their needs, the Ranch can help point them in the right direction. Additionally, Eagle Ranch has numerous opportunities for volunteers and welcomes individuals and groups for tours. A Ranch spokesperson can provide a presentation for your business, club or organization. For more information, contact Eagle Ranch at 770-967-8500, visit the Eagle Ranch pages on Facebook or Twitter, or log onto EagleRanch.org.

Homeowner’s insurance, WhichWich, and three who have died

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher, GwinnettForum.com

MAY 5, 2015 — Take a look at your homeowner’s insurance policy. Every insurance company in Georgia offers a homeowner’s policy which figures your personal property coverage at between 70-80 percent of the dwelling’s coverage.

So, figure if your dwelling is insured for $200,000, that means the company requires that your personal contents must be insured for between $140-160,000. Now really, how many of us have contents that are worth that much in our homes? Unless you have massive jewelry stored in your home, or nothing but antiques for furniture, or over-the-top electronics around, your contents simply are not that valuable. But you are required to be insured for that coverage.

In effect, we’re overpaying on our contents, by law. Of course, if legislators changed this law, and we could pay the actual value on our contents……guess what would happen?

Yep, the insurance companies would raise the premium on the house itself.

In effect, you can’t beat ‘em. So we overpay on our contents. Want to protest: call your state insurance commissioner, who gets more campaign contributions from the insurance companies than all of us combined, no doubt!

* * * *

One of our favorite eateries is expanding. Which Wich?, with outlets in Gwinnett at Peachtree Corners, Snellville and Duluth, has a new site now in Woodstock. That’s their eighth store in the Metro Atlanta area.

Gary and Melynda Birnberg also operate the shops in Brookhaven, Canton, Cumming and at Emory. We like their tasty sandwiches, which (hence the name) you tell them how to make by filling out the order blank, which becomes the sandwich bag. (Hint: put your name on the back of the bag to follow it through the making line.) Their first outlet was in Peachtree Corners seven years ago. Great yummies out of them since!

We were saddened by the death of several recently.

Bill Crosland of Atlanta passed away at age 87. He was for years the pastor of the Buford Presbyterian Church, and held pastorates throughout the south. He was the minister who moved the Buford church from downtown to the present structure on Buford Highway. Many from Buford were at his service at Central Presbyterian Church in Atlanta on Sunday.

Wayne Minchew, 78, died in Calhoun. Wayne was a key sports writer for the AJC and the initial beat reporter covering The Atlanta Braves. He was a superb writer and wonderful friend.

And also passing last week was Sam Griffin, 79, the former Bainbridge publisher, and son of the late Governor Marvin Griffin. Sam had Marvin’s gift for telling stories, besides being a great newspaperman and good friend.

May all three rest in peace.

We’re Down To the Last Seven Gwinnett: A Little Above Atlanta Books

Here’s our plan to sell the last seven Gwinnett: A Little Above Atlanta history books of the second printing. Yes, it’s crass commercialization, but those who have not purchased the history need to know that we are down to only eight books. There will be no third printing.

The next two books can be purchased for $40, plus tax. Then we will put the fifth-to-last book up for an online auction, starting at the regular price. Potential buyers will have two weeks to raise that price. Once that book sells, the fourth-from last will have a starting price of $60, and the third and second to last will be offered for $80 and $100. The last book for sale will also start at $100.

Half the proceeds of the last five books will be given to the Salvation Army.

So, if you need a Gwinnett history book, move fast. Call 770 840 1003 or write to me at elliott@brack.net.

Gov. Nathan Deal entitled to his First Amendment rights, too

(Editor’s Note: Dink NeSmith is president of CNI Newspapers of Athens, a former president of the Georgia Press Association, former chairman of the Board of Regents, and my former partner in Jesup. –eeb).

By Dink NeSmith

MAY 5, 2015 — History may very well record Nathan Deal as one of Georgia’s most pro-business governors ever.  He could also win the trophy for the most domineering and arrogant—along with least transparent—administration.  During his tenure, Gov. Deal has made this clear: “I control the state’s purse strings.  Listen to me.”

NeSmith

On April 18, I was listening to Gov. Deal’s keynote The University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism’s 100th Anniversary Gala.  My initial impression was that he was using light-hearted banter to make his points.  “That’s nice,” I thought.  By sunrise the next morning, I thought differently.

In reflection, I realized that he said, “I don’t need newspapers, radio or TV.” With a smile, he bragged that his communications staff and its social-media strategy were more important than traditional news mediums.

I am not surprised.  The governor loves his personal propaganda on Twitter and Facebook, but he disdains answering reporters’ questions.  It is no secret: “The governor despises the AJC.”

The governor despises any criticism.  In early 2014, his chief of staff called to question why our newspapers run often-critical-of-the-governor columnists.  He hoped I would muzzle that barbed tongue.  I explained our policy: “We don’t edit our newspapers from out-of-town.  We invite you to call local editors.”  When Chris Riley hung up, he wasn’t happy.  Neither was I.

Not long after that conversation, the governor did not reappoint me to the University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents. Without warning, I was abruptly removed in April 2014.  My term had expired, and I respect Gov. Deal’s authority to appoint whomever he wishes.  I was offered another board seat, but I declined.

From the start, I wasn’t a Nathan Deal supporter.  Many of my friends were, but I couldn’t sport his bumper stickers.  There were things—like the way he got the no-bid State of Georgia contract to handle recycled cars—that just didn’t smell right. And there was that cloud of ethical accusations as he left Congress.   But when he was elected governor, I did my best to be supportive.  After all, Georgia is my home.

In no time, I started thinking about a famous quotation of a former Georgia governor, Marvin Griffin:  “I am going to take care of my friends and fire the hell out of my enemies.”  If you look closely, you’ll see Gov. Deal follows that same mantra.

Governors get to flex their muscles.  I understand that.  What I don’t embrace is Gov. Deal’s dictatorial tactics.  The Board of Regents, by Georgia’s constitution, is protected from political meddling.  Our governor has not honored and will not honor that separation of power.  The Regents feel they must “check across the street” before any significant decision is made.

When the Regents were interviewing candidates for chancellor, Gov. Deal called me to say who we should hire.  His choice was excellent, but legally, he should have stayed out of the decision.  And when I was chairman and appointed the board’s nominating committee, his lieutenant instructed, “The governor wants his man in the job.”  That kind of heavy-handed arrogance permeates this administration.

I’ve invested a lifetime in pushing for a better Georgia.  I’ll let my record speak for itself.  Our state is moving forward economically, but it cannot be at the risk of forfeiting an open and transparent government.  Ten million Georgians deserve better than that.

As for Nathan Deal’s knife into the ribs of my profession, I respect and defend his First Amendment rights.  He may be able to dictate propaganda through his own digital channels.  But here’s when the governor and his staff can dictate what we put in our newspapers —when Hell freezes over.

Notice to trucking companies: We will take back our roads

Editor, the Forum:

I remember my nursing student days traveling up and down the expressways to go to one hospital to another for my clinicals.  I went to DeKalb Community College in Clarkston to study nursing and we went to Grady, St. Joe’s, Northside, Piedmont and a hospital up in Cobb that has been closed for several years.

Each hospital brought a different clinical, such as labor and delivery at Northside, Heart care at St. Joe’s and so on. Also we had to visit different doctors’ offices throughout the greater Atlanta area and beyond.  Some of us rode together to save on gas and wear and tear on our cars, but the danger was there on the highways with us sharing the road with big rigs and other crazy drivers.

I don’t know what the answer would be except maybe Nursing Programs should be like Georgia Baptist Hospital, which has its own nursing program. (I have been out of nursing for at least eight years since I retired in 2007 with over 20 years of nursing, so I don’t know what is happening with the Nursing School programs anymore.)

Since there is a local college here in Gwinnett and a large hospital system, I would think they would partner up so the student could learn from a central hospital and not travel all over the place, like I did back in the ’80s.  Not only would that be a win-win for the student, but for the hospital too, they would have nurses ready to work for them.

I hope the families of the nursing students who were killed in the Savannah accident will get justice and the trucker and his company are put out of business. All other trucking companies should be put on notice that we, the average driver, are going to take back our highways.

GGC graduates to hear Liberian ambassador at ceremony May 14

The Republic of Liberia Ambassador Jeremiah C. Sulunteh will give the keynote address at Georgia Gwinnett College’s Spring Commencement Ceremony. More than 420 students who have earned their degrees will graduate on May 14 at 10 a.m. The ceremony will be held on the main lawn of the campus.

Sulunteh

GGC President Stas Preczewski says: “Having Ambassador Sulunteh address the spring graduates is fitting in light of the college’s emphasis on internationalization. We are committed to offering opportunities that contain substantial breadth and depth of international content, which provides students with broader global awareness and perspectives.”

Sulunteh is a Liberian politician, administrator and professor. His career in the areas of administration, teaching and politics spans more than 30 years. Sulunteh has risen through the ranks from a humble beginning as senior commercial aide at the Bong County Agriculture Development Project in Bong County, Liberia, in 1981. Since then, he served as: project coordinator, Friends of Liberia; accounts service representative, Royal Bank of Canada; financial aid advisor, York University, Canada; and associate vice president for Planning and Development, Cuttington University, Liberia.

Following her inauguration as Liberia and Africa’s first democratically elected president in 2006, Her Excellency Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf appointed Sulunteh as minister of Transport from 2006 to 2008. He also served as minister of Post and Telecommunications from 2008 to 2010, and as minister of Labor from 2010 to 2012.

Due to his wealth of experience and proven service, President Sirleaf appointed Sulunteh as ambassador of the Republic of Liberia to the United States of America in 2012.

Ambassador Sulunteh also was an economics professor at two of Liberia’s highest institutions of learning, the University of Liberia and the Cuttington University. He holds a master’s degree in economics from York University in Toronto, Canada; a master’s of public administration from the American University in Cairo, Egypt, and a bachelor of science in economics from Cuttington University College in Liberia.

Two Gwinnett sites recognized for excellence in preservation

Two Gwinnett County historic sites have been recognized by the Georgia Trust for excellence in preservation efforts during its 38th annual Preservation Awards ceremony recently in Athens. The sites are the Chesser-Williams House and Fort Daniel.

The Chesser-Williams House, a vernacular I-house dating to the mid-19th century, has been the focus of an extensive preservation effort undertaken by Gwinnett County and the Environmental and Heritage Center Foundation. Donated to Gwinnett County by the Williams family in 2008, the house was relocated to the EHC campus, six miles from its original site. The exterior paintings, which are attributed to a German itinerant artist, were removed for future display in a controlled museum environment and then painstakingly recreated on the restored structure. For this meticulous and scholarly work, the EHC was awarded an Excellence in Preservation Award by the Georgia Trust.

Fort Daniel was built in 1813 as a critical supply station and defensive battlement during the War of 1812. It was later abandoned, and its log structure faded in obscurity. The site of the Fort was rediscovered in 2007. Five years later, Gwinnett County purchased the site, which is currently managed by the Fort Daniel Foundation.

The Fort Daniel Foundation sponsors an annual Frontier Faire and is developing educational resources for critical hands-on experiences that foster an understanding of local history, archaeology and the importance of preservation.  These efforts led the Georgia Trust to recognize the Fort Daniel Foundation with an Excellence in Preservation Services award.

Parkview senior returns from Greco-Roman wrestling in Austria

Webb

Webb plans on attending the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga on both a wrestling and academic scholarship this fall. Andrew is also an Eagle Scout. For his final project he collected over 300 cans of food, as well as donated time to landscape around the buildings of local food cooperatives.

The Last Days of Dogtown: A Novel

By Anita Diamant

These days, it seems a popular formula to set stories in specific, well-known areas, and grow a tale from there. The novel is set in the now abandoned settlement of Dogtown, on the rocky granite headlands of Cape Ann, Mass. Early settlers in the collection of huts and lean-tos were typically rough and crusty people, ducking their pasts during a time of strict adherence to social mores. The author has a varied cast of characters – drunkards, abusers, people of varied sexual persuasions, multi-racial romantics, and spiteful tattlers. It makes for a roller-coaster reading experience, and in the end, the characters disappear in time. I bought the book because I love Cape Ann, and it was an amusing side note as details of the area were sprinkled in the story. Not great literature, but a fun read.

There’s learning from Georgia’s past through archaeology

Humans have lived in the area now known as Georgia for more than 12,000 years, and archaeology is the only means by which we are able to learn about the lives and achievements of most of them.

Because Georgia contains some of the most important archaeological sites in the country, the state legislature created the Office of the State Archaeologist, which is charged with directing research on state lands, surveying archaeological sites on state lands, giving technical assistance to private landowners and public agencies, protecting objects of archaeological significance, and establishing training programs. As part of the Historic Preservation Division of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the state archaeologist bears added responsibilities in environmental review policy and the National Register program.

From the chocolate tabby ruins on Sapelo Island to the Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site in Cartersville, the DNR manages some of the most important reported sites in the state. One of the primary duties of the state archaeologist is to advise the DNR on the stewardship of such archaeological resources on state lands.

Looting destroys the integrity of archaeological sites and, thus, their scientific and historical value. The advent of Web-based auction sites has turned an already serious resource-management issue into a critical problem. Most looting is carried out by people who use the stolen artifacts, often taken from private property, to underwrite other crimes—especially the purchase and manufacture of drugs. Looting, then, not only destroys the traces of our past but also fuels other violations. Believing that the best stewards of resources are educated private landowners, the DNR has worked to enhance existing Georgia state law, which enables property owners to safeguard sites on their land.

Georgia currently has no underwater archaeology program. However, a variety of planning studies, some funded through federal grants, will set the stage for a productive underwater archaeology program. Archaeologists already know that Georgia’s underwater sites include everything from Revolutionary War (1775-83) shipwrecks to abandoned towns, from Indian canoes to early-twentieth-century side-wheel steamships. Such resources have the potential to reveal details about little-documented aspects of Georgia’s past. They also can serve as valuable ecotourism attractions.

Saving Georgia’s archaeological resources will take significant efforts on the part of the Society for Georgia Archaeology; its companion organization, the Georgia Council of Professional Archaeologists; and related preservation interest groups such as the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation and the Georgia Association of Museums and Galleries. It also will require increased cooperation with other DNR divisions. Because many of the same forces affect natural resources and archaeological sites, natural resources stewardship bears much in common with archaeological site stewardship, whether on land or underwater. As in so many other realms, cooperation between archaeologists and those with kindred interests will, in the end, help to conserve important parts of Georgia’s past.

Famous for two reasons

Last edition’s mystery photo, we thought, would be easier. It was taken recently in Paris by Andy Brack of Charleston, S.C. First in recognizing the photo was in Paris, but not knowing where, was Ross Lenhart of Pawley’s Island, S.C. Valerie Cadet of Lawrenceville was first with the total answer, recognizing the “Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris.”

Then came many others recognizing it, including Gail H. Johnson, Rutland, Vt.; Robert Michener, Suwanee; Karen Burnette Garner, Dacula; and Ruthy Lackman Paul of Norcross, who added: “Luxembourg Gardens is in the sixth district of Paris, and is always perfectly groomed. When the weather is nice, Parisians, of all ages, flock to the French-style flower beds designed and meticulously trimmed chestnut trees and gardens.”

Others recognizing the photograph were Tanya Moore, Norcross; and Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill.
