Gerrymandering still rampant, with a long history in our country
“Late in 1788, just after Virginia voted to ratify the Constitution and join the union, former Governor Patrick Henry persuaded the state legislature to remake the Fifth Congressional District, forcing Henry’s political enemy James Madison to run against the formidable James Monroe. The ploy failed and Madison won anyway, eventually becoming the nation’s fourth president. Monroe’s career wasn’t over, though: He succeeded Madison as president.” (From the Library of Congress.)
By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Gerrymandering.
It’s a menace to democracy, awkward, unnatural, outlandish, usually circuitous and often a patchwork, difficult to envision. Right now, however, it’s within the law, and its outcomes are hard to understand.
I’m talking about some of the nation’s 435 Congressional districts.
The term “gerrymandering” has been around since the early days of our nation. Today’s hard-nosed Congressional manipulators make sure that the Congressional districts are often drawn to favor one particular party. It can happen in any of the states, with the political party in power when the lines are being redrawn being the culprit, trying to squeeze out for the next 10 years the opposing party.
Some observers say that such gerrymandering amounts to the politicians picking their voters, instead of the people picking their politicians. By squeezing more votes from one party into a concentrated zone, the picking party can maintain control of its Congressional seats better.
Therefore, the way the district lines are drawn is often crooked, unwieldy, unsightly, sometimes pits natural enemies in the same district, and causes great confusion among voters as to the district in which they reside.
Take a look at North Carolina District 12 (below). Now for the life of me, I can’t tell you whether it is represented by a Republican, Democrat or Independent. This District extends from Guilford County in the north (Greensboro and High Point area) to Charlotte in Mecklenburg County, is strange. Just look at the district map again. Does this look like a naturally-formed district, with constituents having similar overall interests, other than Interstate 85?
Luckily, we in Georgia don’t have such unusually-drawn districts as some states. About Georgia’s worst is David Scott’s 13th District, which stretches from parts of Henry County westward including parts of Clayton, Fulton, Douglas counties and part of Cobb. At least these are in the same metro area, where the North Carolina District 12 has portions of Greensboro, Winston-Salem and Charlotte within its borders.
Understand, recently the Democrats have particularly been hurt by gerrymandering, as more state legislatures (which often draws the district lines) have been controlled by Republicans. But the GOP doesn’t have a strangle hold on gerrymandering. Both parties try to use it to their benefit. It needs to be outlawed.
Some 37 states let the legislature draw the lines. Four states have independent commissions, and nine states have advisory, back-up or political groups drawing the lines. (Ballotpedia.)
Meanwhile, Democrats, hurt most recently by Republican gerrymandering, have enlisted former Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. to lead the fight against Congressional gerrymandering. He anticipates attacking this effort through the courts; on the campaign trail; and through ballot referendums. It could prove to be a major effort seeking to bring more order back to government.
Attacking gerrymandering is not an easy operation. Right now the focus will be on the redrawing of lines in 2022, after the 2020 census determines state populations. But with so many Congressmen in safe seats, even a successful anti-gerrymandering operation may not make great strides until 2032. (Many of us won’t be around to see this campaign come to victory.)
Gerrymandering: today it’s worse than you think.

Wants president to show respect and decency … and statesmanship
Editor, the Forum:
Your article of 1/20/2017 (sincere wishes to President Trump) I found to be fair. I must be honest and say when I saw the headline, you almost lost me, but after reading the entire article I did find it to be fair. I appreciate that.
For me, and many Democrats, It really would have helped ease the pain if Trump had really made an effort to reach out and show a little respect and decency…… statesmanship! Just be Presidential! I find nothing wrong in demanding that the person who holds the highest office in the world demonstrate basic principles of decency and protocol.
I had hoped that the full weight and magnitude of the White House would change him for the better. Unfortunately, that has not happened and will not happen. What witnessed Saturday when he visited the CIA and the follow-up later that night from the Press Secretary was beyond concerning.
We now truly live in a dangerous time. There is no way to spin when a President and his Administration knowingly and willfully lie to the American people. We MUST be able to trust the words that come from the White House. We cannot give him a learning curve on this. We are committed to staying involved and being vocal. We will hold Trump accountable. He has forced this upon us. We are the people, the vast majority who did not vote for Trump, and we shall save our Country.
It is highly insulting when we see and hear false information come from the Trump Administration and going out of their way to offer Alternative Facts. We must be able to have faith and trust that the President is being straight-forward and above board. It is disheartening that he is not trying to make a sincere effort to do so, while it should really be the core of who he is.
— Kenneth Gilkes Sr., Snellville

NOTABLESnellville police, St. Matthew’s Episcopal, partner in new approach
Snellville’s police department and leaders at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church are partnering in an effort to better relations between police and the community. The effort, called “One Congregation–One Precinct” (1C1P) is an initiative of MovementForward, Inc., and works to meet objectives outlined by the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. It is designed to “prevent, combat and solve crimes” by combining the resources of local police departments and faith-based organizations.
Snellville Police Department Chief Roy Whitehead feels: “It’s a great opportunity to expand the partnership we enjoy with our community. This innovative effort is purposed to stem mounting tensions between citizens and law enforcement officers by building partnerships and mutual understandings, as well as establishing a structured framework for the public to assist law enforcement efforts,” 1C1P documents read.
The Rev. Canon Elizabeth Hendrick, rector of St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, says: “In the last several years, instances of excessive use of force by law enforcement, especially towards people of color, has generated academic studies, newspaper articles and lawsuits. St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church is honored to be one of the first 15 sites selected for the 1C1P program in the metro Atlanta area.”
Gregory Andrews, who is coordinating the effort at St. Matthew’s, says he hopes his church can provide a blueprint for other churches in the city – and world – to follow. “There’s nothing volatile in Snellville,” he says, “But you must step out and do what you can to prevent bad things from happening.”

Shelnutt wins Pressly Award at Suwanee PCOM campus
A fourth-year osteopathic medical student at Georgia Campus of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (GA-PCOM) in Suwanee, Matthew Shelnutt of Stockbridge, has been named the recipient of this year’s Mason W. Pressly Memorial Medal.
Shelnutt
This honor is presented annually to both a Georgia Campus student and a Philadelphia Campus student who have provided outstanding achievement and service to the College, the community and the osteopathic profession. The recipients are selected by representatives of the overall College community and was awarded at the Founder’s Day Celebration on January 27.
Outreach and inclusion are the foundation for the wide-ranging community is a feature of the work of Shelnutt. It’s his way of connecting and bettering the lives of those around him. He served on GA-PCOM’s Diversity Council, helping develop on-campus programs for religious minorities, the school’s LGBT community and new mothers looking for a private place to pump their breast milk.
His work with the Diversity Council grew out of a College survey of faculty, staff and students that looked at attitudes on race, religion and sexual orientation on campus. The council helped set up the campus’s “safe space” program that let students know that certain faculty and staff are available to discuss incidents involving lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues. Council members also helped set up an interfaith meditation room to accommodate personal religious practices and space for quiet reflection during working/school hours.
Shelnutt, a Clayton State University graduate, did HIV testing at the Atlanta Pride rally where a few attendees learned they were carrying the virus. He tended to injured long-distance runners at the Publix Georgia Marathon, and helped develop a health fair in a community looking to break the cycle of homelessness, poverty and domestic violence.
A Georgia native, Shelnutt hopes to bring his attitudes on community connections and inclusion to his career in medicine, which, if all goes according to plan, will begin with a residency in obstetrics and gynecology upon graduation.

GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA TIDBITRecalling other successful seasons for the Atlanta Falcons
In 1998 coach Dan Reeves led the Atlanta Falcons to a 14-2 record, its first NFC championship, and the first Super Bowl appearance for the franchise. Kicker Morten Anderson, a seasoned NFL veteran who signed with the Falcons in 1995, was part of the squad. The Falcons lost Super Bowl XXXIII to the Denver Broncos, 34-19.
After the success of the 1998 season, the Falcons had only one winning season under Reeves, a 9-6-1 record in 2002. That same year The Home Depot cofounder Arthur Blank purchased the Falcons.
The team’s fortunes improved in 2008, with the arrival of new head coach Mike Smith and quarterback Matt Ryan. The Falcons posted an 11-5 record and finished second in the NFC South. Smith and Ryan received Coach of the Year and Rookie of the Year awards respectively from the Associated Press and Sporting News Magazine. The upswing continued in the 2009 season, which the Falcons completed with a 9-7 record, marking the first time in its history that the franchise posted two consecutive winning seasons. The team also finished first in the NFC South.
The Falcons concluded the 2010 season with a 13-3 record and defeated the Carolina Panthers to win the NFC South title once again. The team was subsequently chosen as the top seed in the NFC play-offs for the first time since 1980 but lost in the first round to the Green Bay Packers. In 2014 the Falcons finished the regular season with a record of 6-10, its second consecutive losing season. Smith was fired after seven seasons as head coach and replaced by Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
And now, in the 2016 season, Atlanta finished with a 14-2 record, then defeated the Green Bay Packers to go to their second Super Bowl, this time against the Boston Patriots of the American Football Conference.

In what community is this somewhat famous scene located?
Many of you may recognize this community, which was once part of a televised segment by Charles Kurault of CBS. We want a little more this time: tell us in what community this photo was taken. Send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your what town you live in.
Several people recognized the downtown area of Charlotte, N.C., as the last Mystery Photo. “My hometown,” says Michael Wood of Peachtree Corners. The photo came from Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
Rob Keith of Peachtree Corners adds: “I quickly recognized the building of my former employer, First Union (later to become Wachovia, then Wells Fargo). Apparently, there was quite a feud between the former CEOs of First Union and Bank of America, Ed Crutchfield and Hugh McColl, whose personal competition directly led to the construction of two of these great structures.” Luke Livingston of Duluth also recognized the scene.
George Graf of Palmyra, Va. gives his additional information: “For over 50 years, Charlotte led the nation in gold production until the California Gold Rush of 1848. There are currently over 3,000 international refugees from over 40 different countries living in Charlotte. City officials have no term limits and in addition, the Council and all city officials are elected on a partisan basis. Charlotte is the only major city in North Carolina to do so.”
