TODAY’S FOCUSSite ranks Gwinnett Technical College top community college in state
By Paige Havens | Gwinnett Technical College is the highest ranked community college in Georgia, and ranks in the top five percent nationally, says WalletHub, a national personal finance website. WalletHub’s ranking released this week speaks volumes about the value and return on investment students get from a degree from Gwinnett Tech.
As the cost of higher learning continues to climb, students and parents today are weighing the value of a college education and ultimate return on investment more than ever before.
Gwinnett Technical College President, Dr. D. Glen Cannon says: “It’s an honor to be ranked so high on this list. WalletHub’s ranking is a great validator that we have a true formula for success. With cost at only $89 per credit hour and a 98.7 percent job placement rate, we are offering our students a big return on their investment. Gwinnett Tech continues to deliver valuable, career-focused education for real world high demand jobs.”
WalletHub was founded by financial guru Odysseas Papadimitriou to help consumers efficiently enjoy life instead of worrying about money. WalletHub offers an online community that allows people to search for and compare financial products and interact with a community interested in making smarter financial decisions. WalletHub publishes many independent rankings that are well-respected and valued in the industry.
Gwinnett Tech ranked No. 33 nationally, according to WalletHub. Its analysts compared 821 institutions across the country considering 12 relevant metrics relating to three key dimensions: 1) Cost and Financing; 2) Education Outcomes; and 3) Career Outcomes.
Data used to create the rankings were collected from the National Center for Education Statistics, Council for Community and Economic Research, and College Measures. When weighing Cost and Financing, WalletHub analyzed cost of in-state tuition and fees, availability of grants, cost per student, school spending efficiency and faculty salaries. Education Outcomes factored first-year retention rates, graduation rates, transfer-out rates, student-faculty ratios and credentials awarded per 100 full-time-equivalent students. Career outcomes weighed return on educational investment and student-loan default rates.
Enrollment at Gwinnett Technical College continues to rise as nearly 80 percent of today’s jobs don’t require a four-year degree, but do require the kind of specialized education and hands-on training that a technical college provides. In addition to the economic value, students of varying educational and economic backgrounds draw to Gwinnett Tech for its flexible course schedules, smaller class sizes, and comparatively rigorous coursework to university counterparts.
Gwinnett Tech is the state’s third largest technical college, offering more than 150 degree, diploma and certificate programs and serving more than 18,000 students annually.

Social media blocking today’s kids, curtails reading and curiosity
By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | What are these social media devices doing to our kids?
Or further, what are these devices doing to all of us?
Look inside yourself: are you hooked on Facebook, or Instagram or Twitter? Or online games, gambling and even pornography?
Do you find yourself constantly often on your cell phone, even talking on it while driving?
Or perhaps you are merely on a simple computer all day, emailing, or surfing or “staying in touch.”
Think, too, to compare your telephone bill 20 years ago (if you are that old), with your “connectivity” of phone, internet, cell and no telling what is next? There’s some difference, eh? (Can you really afford it?)
Do these questions bother you?
They should.
If nothing else, they could be affecting your quality of life, whether you recognize it.
These thoughts came to mind when hearing a radio (another social media) broadcast when in the car recently. The host was talking to a New Yorker staff member who had a provocative title for a new book. The author is David Denby, and the book title is Lit Up: One Reporter. Three Schools. Twenty-four Books That Can Change Lives.
What he says ought to cause us to think deeply about what is particularly happening to our children: they don’t read as they should, nor as much as the previous generation did growing up.
And why don’t children and many of today’s students read?
All too often it is because of the way that social media takes over their time.
Denby also maintains that because so many of today’s students are spoon-fed information from the many social media, that they are more concerned about personal gratification, gossip among friends, and entertainment, all of which is the easy-to-read and listen to on social media. He emphasizes further that today’s kids no longer think as sharply as they should.
And from all this, what gives? They are almost stonewalling themselves against having curiosity.
Say what you want, but we see in many successful people the vital characteristic of curiosity. They are eager to know more, and seek out this information, no matter what field they are in, becoming more learned in the process. Almost all of this information they seek comes from reading about it in books, in newspapers, on the Internet…….but it allows them to answer the questions that curiosity brings up.
Another element missing from those who don’t read much: without curiosity, they cannot discern matters. They tend not to question items that should raise hackles among the more curious. They accept pronouncements as fact, never thinking that everything they hear is not automatically true.
“You mean that’s not right?” they might say if you questioned something they said. Gee, they never thought of that, and often will question you for even bringing it up.
In essence, they think less than many more learned people.
The frightening matter is that some of these non-curious non-readers actually register to vote. But they are an easy target to having the wool pulled over their eyes. You shudder to think who they might be voting into office, at all levels of government. Maybe already we have people in office that they helped elect.
You can see, this is getting serious.
And it all goes back to not “having the time” to read and think and have curiosity. This lack of reading by the oncoming generations makes us have great worry.

Polio is a terrible disease initially, and can return years later
Editor, the Forum:
I read with interest your comment on fighting polio. My husband had polio, ironically in the same hospital at the University of Pittsburgh where Dr. Salk was completing his work on the vaccine, three floors below where my husband was a patient.
In a short time there would have been the vaccine to prevent this disease. Polio is a terrible disease not only at the time but for many years later with post-polio syndrome. I hope it can be entirely eradicated from the world.
— Lucy Brady, Suwanee
Immediate dissemination of news or trivia is questionable obsession
Editor, the Forum:
I have always admired my fellow man’s thirst for knowledge. We have all benefitted from the wonderful things invented or discovered by thirsty or just plain curious people.
The above having been said, the electronic world we live in today is really going to extremes regarding the dissemination of information. When Ted Turner started this 24/7 news barrage many of us thought things like, “Why are they putting news on TV over and over all day and night? They are telling me things that they just told me a half hour ago.”
Now we are demanding that they tell us news over and over and quicker and quicker. We don’t want to wait for anything. We install apps on our phones to notify us immediately when something is happening that we think we can’t do without. I saw where there is an app that will notify you when a High Speed Pursuit is live on TV.
Can you imagine if Doctor Jonas Salk had been one of these High Speed Pursuit Junkies. Every time he started to make headway on his Polio Vaccine his phone would play the silly little tune he had carefully selected. He would have stopped his research and run to his TV to watch the latest chase in progress. When he got back to his work bench, he would have been heard to say, “Now where was I?’
If this obsession had been his obsession, we would still have Iron Lungs all over the place. (For those of you who don’t know what an Iron Lung is, Google It!)

UPCOMING16th British Car Fayre will be in downtown Norcross on Sept. 10
The British are coming! The British are coming…..to downtown Norcross! They are bringing with them their classic and iconic cars for the 16th annual Atlanta British Car Fayre on September 10 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
A featured marque Rolls-Royce will be on display, in addition to the gleaming elegance of 400 classic British cars including Jaguars, Triumphs, Aston Martins, Lotus, Land Rovers, MG’s and more, plus motorcycles. With over 100 Sunbeams ringing Thrasher Park, a Car Boot Sale and downtown Norcross merchants, the Atlanta British Car Fayre revs the scene thanks to thousands of spectators and hundreds of classic British cars and motorcycles.
In its second year, the Car Boot Sale is the British version of a yard sale where local vendors and entrepreneurial participants will be selling their goods from the trunk or “boot” (that’s what the Brits call the trunk of a car) of their cars.
The Fayre typically attracts around 10,000 visitors, so there will be plenty of shoppers. Participants are encouraged to clear out the attic and pack the car or truck with anything that might sell. The vehicle doesn’t have to be British born—if it has a “boot,” it qualifies and the cost is $15 per vehicle to participate.
After shopping the Car Boot Sale, festival-goers can then walk a few yards to the fish and chips with an ale, or an English tea with a light lunch or scones.
Explains Car Fayre organizer Edna Berkshire: “The tea is hosted by the Daughters of the British Empire and is wonderfully authentic.”
The event, raises money for metro Atlanta-based charities while celebrating all things British. Berkshire says that “This will be the second year in a row that our proceeds go to the Amanda Riley Foundation—last year we were able to donate $2,000. Thanks to the event’s ‘super sponsor’ WastePro USA, we’ll be able to offer even more raffle prizes!” The Amanda Riley Foundation is dedicated to working with children battling cancer and their families in the Atlanta area.
As always, admission to this annual event is free to the public. Complimentary shuttle buses will run regularly between 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. from One Heart Church on North Peachtree Street and Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church on Hunter Street to and from historic Norcross.

County departments began presentation of budget to panel Monday
Gwinnett departments and agencies will present their business plans and financial resource requests for budget year 2017 starting Monday, Aug. 29. The presentations will be heard by the budget review team made up of six Gwinnett residents who have volunteered to help Commission Chairman Charlotte Nash set priorities and make recommendations for the 2017 proposed budget.
David Cuffie, Norwood Davis and Kevin Do join veterans of last year’s team, including Lisa Burleson, Burt Manning and Santiago Marquez.
Cuffie is CEO of Total Vision Consulting LLC; Do, a volunteer with the Vietnamese American Community of Georgia, is a realtor with ReMax Grand South; Davis, who last served on the budget review team three years ago, is CFO of 12Stone Church.
Burleson is a retired district level administrator from Gwinnett County Public Schools; Manning is a retired real estate appraiser and assessment administrator; and Marquez is CFO/VP of the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Nash says: “I believe strongly in seeking public input in local government decisions and am thankful for these six thoughtful and knowledgeable residents who agreed to serve on the budget review team. Each person brings something different to the table, which will be helpful as we listen to departmental needs and plans, review revenue projections and prepare the 2017 proposed budget.”
The Chairman’s 2017 budget proposal will be available to the public and news media on November 15 in conjunction with its formal presentation to the district commissioners, and the budget public hearing is scheduled for December 5. By county ordinance, the Board of Commissioners must adopt the annual budget during its first meeting in January.
City of Sugar Hill to open new splash park on Sept. 1 after 6 p.m.
The City of Sugar Hill is helping residents cool down with a new splash park. The Splash Park is behind Sugar Hill’s City Hall, adjacent to the new Dawn P. Gober Family Plaza and behind the city’s amphitheater. The Mayor and City Council invite the public to celebrate the opening of the Splash Park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, September 1, 2016 at 6 p.m. The celebration will include food trucks, music and of course, lots of water.
The 60-foot diameter Splash Park boasts 21 zones, 42 arch spray nozzles and 28 vertical spray nozzles. The water fountains are accompanied by 93 color-changing LED lights. The center fountain is made up of a cluster or six large nozzles and 20 small spray heads. The cascading nozzles produce a large pyramidal column of white, aerated water.
The water treatment system includes pumps and filters sized to task, chemical injection pumps with an automated chemical controller for precise monitoring and adjustment to the pH and sanitizer fluctuation. A 3,000-gallon reservoir with automatic water level detection controls and stores the water supply. An ultraviolet sanitizer and a wind sensor also help to ease maintenance demands.
Mayor Steve Edwards is excited about what the Splash Park means to the city: “The Splash Park in Sugar Hill is a great addition to creating another destination item in our downtown.” The Splash Park will be open seven days a week during the months of April through October.

RECOMMENDED STREAMING SERIESA Very Secret Service
“This French farce, with English subtitles, comes in 12 episodes of 20 minutes each. It’s hard to follow, but delightful, as a newcomer secret agent finds that even answering an office telephone can lead to unknown consequences. Set in post-war France, the plot thickens, but leaves a lot to your imagination. It seems most agents are more caught up in producing receipts of their expenses, some outlandish, and have to make it through a maze of French bureaucratic folderol, which never ends. Throw in a love story complicated by his employer and the series takes new plot twists. It doesn’t help that the agent’s prospective father-in-law turns out to be his boss, who throws curve after curve to the young agent, eventually resulting in tragic consequences. Or was it all planned? Try this stunning Netflix original, which will leave you scratching your head in confusion.” –eeb

GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA TIDBITGold in Georgia first reported in print in Milledgeville paper in 1829
There are several popular stories of the beginning of Georgia’s gold rush; but in fact, no one is really certain who made the first discovery or when. According to one anecdote, John Witheroods found a three-ounce nugget along Duke’s Creek in Habersham County (present-day White County). Another says that Jesse Hogan, a prospector from North Carolina, found gold on Ward’s Creek near Dahlonega. Yet another finds a young Benjamin Parks kicking up an unusual-looking stone while on the lookout for deer west of the Chestatee River in 1828. Despite the popularity of these claims, no documented evidence for gold in Georgia is found until August 1, 1829, when a Milledgeville newspaper, the Georgia Journal, ran the following notice.
“GOLD.—A gentleman of the first respectability in Habersham County, writes us thus under date of 22d July: ‘Two gold mines have just been discovered in this county, and preparations are making to bring these hidden treasures of the earth to use.’ So it appears that what we long anticipated has come to pass at last, namely, that the gold region of North and South Carolina, would be found to extend into Georgia.”
Gold rush towns sprang up quickly in north Georgia, particularly near the center of the gold region in present-day Lumpkin County. Auraria became an instant boomtown, growing to a population of 1,000 by 1832. The county seat, called Licklog at the time, in 1833 became known as Dahlonega, for the Cherokee word tahlonega, meaning either golden or yellow. Within a few months after its establishment nearly 1,000 people were crowded into the settlement, with about 5,000 people in the surrounding county.
With pan and shovel, people roamed up and down the valleys and hollows, looking for a promising spot to mine. These early miners were engaged in what they called “deposit” mining, generally known as placer mining. The term refers to gold that has washed down from the hillsides and collected along mountain streams. When miners found a location that showed “good color,” they set up camp and began working the area in earnest. A variety of tools were used to wash these deposits and extract the fine gold particles. The river bottoms were very attractive places to search for gold; miners frequently drifted flatboats into the Chestatee and Etowah rivers and dredged up rich sand and gravel.

Stately Georgian building could be located almost anywhere
Here’s a stately Georgian building, no doubt at least a museum, library or similar government building, awaiting your searching. Figure out where this building is, and then send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.
Lots of people recognized the Royal Crescent in Bath, England. Jo Pinder of Baltimore writes: “It’s a great day trip by train from London. While the front is all the same, each owner could do what she/he wanted behind the façade.” The photo was sent to us by Donny Loeber of Norcross.
George Graf of Palmyra, Va., tells us: “Architect John Wood the Younger was the designer of the terrace’s famous façade but this was as far as his input went. Thirty houses were outlined by Ionic columns and sold to private purchasers all of whom employed their own architects to build their homes behind the façade. The result is that the rear of the properties is quite juxtaposed with the front. The convex rear features differing fenestration and roof layouts that is a feature of many Bath terraces. Bath was a target for the Luftwaffe during World War II and the Royal Crescent was partially burnt out during a bombing raid in April 1942. 417 people were killed across Bath in three separate raids.”
Others recognizing it include Michael Green, Milton; Jeff Dyer, Suwanee; Michael Wood, Peachtree Corners; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Bob Foreman, Grayson; Ruthy Lachman Paul, Norcross; and Lou Camerio of Lilburn, who also told us about the previous mystery photo: “My great uncle and my Father, when he was 11 years old, did the ceramic tile for the original Lake Lure Hotel. They had to camp in a tent and kept a shot gun to ward off mountain lions, so I was told.”
LAGNIAPPEThe back side
Last week’s Mystery Photo from Bath, England, produced statements that the rear of the beautiful Bath building was considerable different from its classic front side. George Graf of Palmyra, Va. sends in this photo showing how the rear of the building is constructed. Look, also, at the way buildings are close to one another, making for a very crowded town. With the expansive lawn in the front photo, you get a different idea of how it would be to live in this town.
