TODAY’S FOCUSHydrogen use in automobiles would reduce Middle East influence
By Alvin Leaphart, Jesup, Ga. | For over 53 years, I have practiced law in southeast Georgia. We are five generations of professionals. My family helped settle southeast Georgia with a law book, medical bag . . . and a pistol.
Leaphart
I have seen the effects of the industries coming South for cheap land and labor, the good and the bad of industrialization. It brought us out of the Depression, raised people to the upper middle class who had a couple of thousand acres of land that was just holding the world together, and allowed family providers to move from $35 a week to several hundreds. But this upgrade has damaged the environment. Good comes with bad.
Environmentalists are constantly pointing out the dangers of the use of fossil fuels to the atmosphere. Based on my studies, the most environmental friendly fuel is hydrogen. Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. Allowing hydrogen to react with oxygen, water is formed, releasing energy. How more environmentally friendly can you get?
Hydrogen is locked in water. One of the challenges of using hydrogen as a fuel comes from being able to efficiently extract hydrogen from water. One method is by using electrolysis, but this requires electricity, which is expensive.
The United States is moving more toward nuclear power plants. There are certain times of the day that power production is lower, because of lack of demand. Then the generators are slowed and, so much electricity is lost.
The cost of fuel operations for a nuclear station is smaller than the fuel cost for operation of coal or gas plants. There is no cost saving if you run a nuclear generator at less than full capacity. If during those slack hours the electricity was diverted to the manufacture of hydrogen, the overall cost of production would be drastically cut, and the power companies’ profits would increase through sale of hydrogen.
An automobile engine can be converted to hydrogen use with little cost by changing the fuel injection system. The overall automobile business would not be affected. The main objection to using hydrogen comes from the oil, coal and other producers and suppliers of fossil fuels.
What is basically needed to use hydrogen in automobiles is the development of a system to distribute hydrogen at points available to consumers, i.e., the installation of pumps throughout the country.
With the exception of coal, the fossil fuel industry has been around for just a little over 100 years and has enormous political influence. If the fuel used for automobiles was changed to hydrogen, this industry with a few fits and jerks, would start selling hydrogen, and be back at the top of the fuel business.. Then we would not have to deal with and put up with Middle Eastern and other foreign oil suppliers.
A wholesale conversion to hydrogen in our country would further solidify the United States’ world influence and would become a boon to the environment.

Those Founding Fathers of 1776? Most were relatively younger men
Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States, a painting by Howard Chandler Christy. In the center is Benjamin Franklin (seated). Alexander Hamilton, also seated in blue, appears to be whispering in his ear. George Washington is standing by the desk. To identify other signers, click here.
By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Here at the end of the year, let’s air some thoughts squirreled away.
FOUNDING FATHERS: You hear all sorts of references to our “founding fathers.” Many were relatively young, that is, under 40 in 1776.
But did you ever stop to realize just how young these people we venerate as our founders of this country really were? It might surprise you.
James Monroe was 18; Aaron Burr was 20; Alexander Hamilton was 21; James Madison was 25. And one of the heroes of the Revolution, Count Marquis La Fayette? He was 18.
More: Henry Lee III was 20; John Marshall, 20; Nathan Hale, 21; Gouveneur Morris was 24; Henry Knox was 25; Georgia’s George Walton was 27; John Jay was 30; Nathanael Greene and Thomas Jefferson were 33; John Hancock was 39, as was Thomas Paine, while Patrick Henry and John Adams were old guys at 40. (Our own Button Gwinnett was 41. Dr. Lyman Hall of Georgia was 52.)
And George Washington was 44.
So all of our many references to “founding fathers” isn’t to a bunch of old men sitting around and contributing their many years of experience to producing amazing, far-reaching and powerful documents for the future of the world. Most of it came from a bunch of relatively young guys, who must have been smart as a whip. It might help put the discussion of “founding fathers” in a new light.
The oldest: Samuel Whittemore was 81, and Benjamin Franklin was 70. By the way, Whittemore was a Massachusetts farmer who was known as the oldest known colonial combatant in the American Revolutionary War.
Credit: Most of this comes from the Journal of the American Revolution.
MYSTERY WRITERS ought to have a heyday with new-age technology for extinguishing a human body. After all, no finer writer than Agatha Christie came up with these ways of croaking someone:
strangled by a raincoat belt and a ukulele; stabbed with a corn knife; jabbed with a venom-tipped dart; drowned in an apple tub; crushed by a bear-shaped marble clock; and electrocuted by a chessboard rigged to deliver the fatal charge upon completion of the third move of the Ruy Lopez opening, which is Bb5.
But it will take real creativity to top some of her methods!
MANY LAMENT the elimination of one subject no longer taught at the high school level: civics. These days many high school and college graduates just never get around to studying and understanding government in general, which was previously taught in civics classes. We presume some educational scholars thought other subjects were more important.
Alas! Lack of understanding the working of government is going to haunt us for years. Some say it already is one of our major reasons all too many people take so little interest in government. Unfortunately, many of these people vote. Hence, our dilemma.
Then there is another subject that students get too little of these days: ethics. Though not directly taught earlier in our schooling, somehow we remember teachers of old who instilled in their students an understanding of ethical considerations. Perhaps they sprinkled ethics into routine observations when teaching varied subjects.
Many of our ethical considerations came from what we learned in church and in Sunday School. Perhaps the lesser importance that many people give to churchly affairs has an impact on our ethical considerations today. After all, we reap what we sow.

Here’s another look at the age-old question of “why me?”
By John Titus, Peachtree Corners | When we face personal crises such as a death in the family, a lost job, an accident, or a disability, we may well ask, “Why me?” I have, and maybe you have also.
In 1951 when I was 10, my father died and I asked, “Why me?” My mother descended into alcoholism and I asked, “Why me?” When I was 14, my mother died of a stroke and I asked again, “Why me?”
Many years later I read a book by Arthur Simon, founder of the charity, Bread for the World, entitled How Much Is Enough? In it he acknowledged that it was natural to ask the “Why me?” question, but went on to suggest we ought to ask the same question regarding the good things that happened, as well as our set backs. That caused me to reflect on my life.
After my mother’s passing I was able to stay in the only home I had ever known, since my 75 year old grandmother came to raise me. Again, why me?
My Godfather, an uncle, became my guardian and made sure my grandmother and I were secure. Why me?
We had neighbors on either side of our home who took an active interest in my welfare, one in the development of my practical side, the other in my school work. Why me?
We had fellow parishioners who took us to church each Sunday. Why me?
Another uncle paid for my college education. Why me?
Over the years, the list goes on and on, but you get the idea.
Fast forward 50 years: in preparation for my 50th college reunion, the class was asked to reflect on the years between our graduation and our reunion in 2012. As I thought about what had happened in those years, one word came repeatedly to mind: Gratitude.
Gratitude for my years in college: the courses, the challenges, the attitudes instilled in me, and most of all the friends.
Gratitude for my brief time in the Marine Corps where I learned something about leadership, discipline and loyalty.
Gratitude for my satisfying career in the Federal government in a variety of jobs and locations.
Gratitude for the parishes through the years whose priests and people nurtured me.
Gratitude for my call and ordination as a Deacon in the Episcopal church and the opportunities it gave me to learn, grow and serve.
Gratitude lastly, for the 48+ years of love and support of my wife, Molly, who has brought joy into my life every day.
For all these good things, I ask again: “Why me?” To this question my answer comes through my faith.
Others may find answers elsewhere. In any case, I would ask all who read this to approach the question of “Why Me?” with a spirit of openness and gratitude.

Here’s a low-tech solution to Holcomb Bridge Road railroad crossing
Editor, the Forum:
Certainly a high-tech solution to the Holcomb Bridge Road crossing problem in Norcross may assist technology savvy drivers. That information would be widely distributed, but may not be locally accessible to the errant truck driver who straddles his truck on the tracks.
A low-tech solution can be provided more effectively at a much lower cost.
First, let’s address the issue: long, tall trucks try to cross a railroad track where the road slope is too steep for a successful crossing. The trucks get ‘beached’ on the rails and the trains are used involuntarily to ‘clear the tracks’!
One quick option would be to close the crossing. A more level crossing is less than 100 yards away. But, this solution would also block the many cars that use the crossing daily. Traffic congestion would be even worse.
I would recommend a bar 8’ or 10’ high be placed across the road intersections on the railroad track approach. One would be constructed on each side of the dangerous crossing.
Above the bar, a bold sign can state that vehicles taller than that height are prohibited from using this crossing! An arrow can direct the traffic toward another crossing. Details on the design can be proposed by bidders to minimize the risk of damage to vehicles and to the sign when drivers ignore the sign and try to use the dangerous crossing.
Hey, billboard space or a Norcross electronic message board could be included as a promotional bonus element for the commuter traffic. High tech devices could be used to change the message dramatically when a too tall vehicle approaches. Just a neighborly suggestion!
— Richard Daneke, Duluth
Dear Dick: Gee, this makes super sense. And this could be relatively inexpensive, compared to the $300,000 to $500,000 that early estimates for filling in the road would have cost. Don’t know if the Norcross City Council can think that small. Hope they can!–eeb

GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA TIDBITArchitect Charles Choate’s works seen throughout the South
Designs by minister-architect Charles E. Choate have been documented in more than two dozen Georgia towns and cities, as well as at sites in Florida, Alabama, and the Carolinas. Choate’s buildings are often located in railroad towns, and the largest concentration of his work is found in Sandersville and Tennille in Washington County, where Choate settled at the turn of the century.
Choate
Charles Edward Choate was born on August 31, 1865, in Houston County. He was a student at the University of Georgia by 1889 and began a ten-year period of architectural apprenticeships throughout the 1890s (with Peter Dennis in Macon, George Thompson in Dublin, and Joseph Turner in Augusta). In 1892, with Wesley W. DeHaven, he established the partnership of DeHaven and Choate.
At the same time, Choate began his career as a Methodist minister, serving churches across middle Georgia. He studied at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., from 1897 to 1898, and the next year a newspaper account announced that Choate would begin collaborating with the Reverend George C. Thompson. Thompson, a minister-architect specializing in church design, was the architect of the Methodist church in Dublin.
Choate’s church designs include the brick Romanesque revival Tennille Baptist Church (1900), showing the influence of H. H. Richardson; Methodist churches for Wrightsville and Stillmore, in Georgia (1907); the Second Presbyterian Church (1908) of Greenville, S.C.; and the grand Park Street United Methodist Church in Atlanta (1912).
His early work, however, is best evidenced by the several buildings in Sandersville and Tennille that he built between 1896 and 1903 (although by 1900 he had moved to Augusta). These include two banks, one built in 1900 in Tennille, where commercial businesses shared an arcaded brick one-story structure with crowning cornice, and the more urbane Holt Brothers Banking Company Building in Sandersville (1898), as well as the Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad Building of 1903. The latter building employs brick and marble in a rich facade of arched windows, paneled piers, crenellation, and rustication. The interior features extensive wood trim and a beaded ceiling.
This spirit of “high style” elaboration informed Choate’s remodeling in the 1890s of the Plantation Plain–style Brantley-Haygood House (1850s) into an Eclectic Victorian great house of paired veranda posts, porch turret, harp brackets, and projecting cornices. Similar features characterize the Queen Anne–style Paris-Veal “Silk Stocking Street” house of 1900, nicknamed in reference to Rachel Paris’s penned remembrances of her family. Choate’s versatility is evidenced by his last Tennille house design, the Kelley-Mertz House (1919-20), a stuccoed and tile-roofed Craftsman bungalow.
During most of the first decade of the 20th century, Choate lived and practiced out of Augusta, where several of his houses survive in the Green Street Historic District. By 1909 Choate and Cyril B. Smith had opened an office in the Candler Building in Atlanta, and about five years later Deford Smith joined the firm.
In 1925 financial difficulties resulted in Choate’s moving to Florida, where he worked in Tampa and Orlando before moving to Montgomery, Ala., where he spent the final two years of his life. In 1929 he moved to Maysville, Kentucky, the hometown of his wife, Agnes Dodson. He died there that same year.

Bubbling pool looks something like a labyrinth
Here’s a scene that many do not easily see. Today’s Mystery Photo may be a tough one, in that this isn’t some tourist area easily seen from the street. So put on your thinking camp and figure out where this photograph was taken. Then send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.
The Mystery Photo of side view of an large, older building turned out to be a shot of the Cathedral Notre Dame in Reims, France, sent in by Mark Barlow of Peachtree Corners. George Graf of Palmyra, Va. recognized the photo. He writes: “My wife and I visited the cathedral in Reims about 20 years ago. That area produces my favorite alcoholic drink, French Champagne, so I really enjoyed the nearby Mumm champagne producing area near the cathedral. It turns out that Mumm was founded and run by a German family for almost a century, then the French confiscated the entire business because the Mumm family didn’t bother to become French citizens.”
Bob Foreman of Grayson says: “I have a wonderful book of the great cathedrals of Europe. The distinctive pilasters of the flying buttresses gave it away. This is Notre Dame de Reims – the Cathedral at Reims, France, where Joan of Arc brought Charles VII for his coronation in 1429. This cathedral was partly destroyed in the First World War, but was fully restored.” And Ruthy Lachman Paul of Norcross says: “In 1991 Reims Cathedral became a UNESCO World Heritage site.”
