GEORGIA GWINNETT COLLEGE STUDENTS welcomed new President Dr. Jann L. Joseph when she arrived for her first day on the job on Monday. When arriving at the college’s administrative building, Joseph was met with cheers, banners, balloons and a bear hug from General, the GGC grizzly mascot. At a following reception, she was welcomed more personally as individuals introduced themselves. Those unable to participate in this morning’s event will have another opportunity to meet their new president Tuesday (today) at an ice cream social. GGC’s third president since its 2005 founding, Joseph recently served as interim chancellor at Indiana University South Bend and has 30 years of broad experience in higher education. She was named GGC’s president after a nationwide search following the retirement of Dr. Stanley C. “Stas” Preczewski in January.

We should not live beyond our expectations, but live up to them
By Dick Goodman
SUWANEE, Ga. | Aging is a humbling experience. I won’t depress you with a list of the things that change, diminish or fail completely with advancing age. Since science insists on telling us that we humans reach our physical peak at around age 25, it’s been downhill for me for the last half century.
Goodman
While I don’t dwell on the prospect of dying, or more accurately, the certainty of it, it has become a little more top of mind than it was, say, 50 years ago. I live for, if not the moment, at least the near-term. I’m not quite at the point of, “not buying green bananas.” On the other hand, I’m not motivated to purchase an LED light bulb that advertises a 30-year life expectancy. I don’t want to compete against a lightbulb.
I’ve often joked that I plan to live forever. ”So far, so good,” I’d quickly add to wrap up the gag. I, of course, know the greater truth of the second part.
This is still a culture that, while it doesn’t respect or even value age, does celebrate it. Each day a million Americans, on average, celebrate their birthday. Cakes are eaten, beers are drunk, presents are opened, songs are sung, candles are burned and blown out, and tears are shed. We seem to celebrate birthdays as if each is an achievement…that we beat the odds. And, of course, with each successive year, the idea that we beat the odds becomes truer. Meanwhile the odds of continuing the run of good luck gets worse.
A few years ago, I attended a seminar about infrastructure…the water and sewer systems of any large community. The speaker and I were contemporaries, at the time in our early 70s. Everyone else in the room was in their 30s and 40s. We knew each other and he knew I was in attendance.
“Everyone in this room has to think and plan 20, 30, 40 years ahead,” the speaker said, repeating it for emphasis. He then expanded the statement with, “…everyone, except me and Dick Goodman.” Yes, our time horizon is very short.
When we’re children the passage of a birthday is a milestone. Each birthday represents a major portion of the life we’d lived thus far. At our seventh birthday we celebrated the passage of one-seventh of our life. Wow! When we turn 70, we celebrate the passage of one-seventieth of our life. No big deal. Not quite a momentous milestone. But, according to gerontologists, a significant “achievement.” At that point you’ve got a 97.6 percent chance of living to see one more birthday. But only an 87 percent chance of seeing five more birthdays, if you’re a male. The odds of seeing succeeding birthdays rapidly diminish.
And while younger people will sneer at the adage that “with age comes wisdom,” science confirms that it is true, at least to a relatively narrow degree. The wisdom is that of experience, i.e., “been there, done that.” The elderly are, according to a Swarthmore College study, better at recognizing “the difference between how things seem and how things are.”
We live in a world in which “truth” is no longer absolute, but relative and even variable. And reality can be virtual. So the ability to recognize the difference is increasingly important. Our lives may depend on it. Not to live beyond our expectations, but to live up to them.

Classmate led admirable life, associated with Girl Scout camp
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
JULY 2, 2019 | A classmate from high school died recently. His name was Gerald Smith, who lived in Lizella, near Macon. While I knew him in high school, we were not close. Yet he led such an interesting and contributing life, that I admired him from afar.
After high school, though he had some offers to play college football, Gerald became a trained plumber. Over the years he often helped Bob White, the “ranger” at Girl Scout Camp Martha Johnson, near his home in Lizella. And when White retired, Gerald was a natural for the post, having “helped out” often.
He was most affable in all ways, easy to get along with, cracking jokes, and someone who enjoyed telling stories. Early on at Camp Martha Johnson in Lizella, because of his size, he was known as “Hulk.”
Sue Chipman, then the executive with the Girl Scouts in Macon, hired Gerald in 1981. She says: “He was the perfect person for the camp, with multiple skills, electrical, welding, he did it all. He kept everything going in an economical way, rigging equipment so that it would work. He was a quiet, steady voice, not flashy, He also kept me informed on matters around the camp saying, ‘Miss Sue, you ought to look into this.’ He knew what was happening at the camp.”
Gerald Smith
Lee Laughter, regional director for the Girls Scouts of Historic Georgia, remembers Gerald: “He was a gentle giant, an Energizer Bunny, who did 15 things at one time, taking care of the rustic cabins, maintaining all the equipment, and doing things quietly on his own without calling in other professionals. And the girls at the camp loved him like a grandfather. He listened to them, cooked pancakes for them, and made sure that they had a good time. The girls mainly knew him by a nickname of ‘Hulk.’”
Ronald (Doc) Holiday, who succeeded Gerald as the camp ranger, and who before had known him for years, had once told Gerald, “If you ever give up that job, let me know.” Some 27 years later, in 2008, Gerald told Ronald: “I’m gonna’ retire. I remembered you might be interested in the job.” He also recalls: “Gerald and his minister were the first to visit us when we moved to Lizella. We bonded immediately and were good friends since that time. Gerald was always cutting up, making some crack. He was a likable guy.” He was also a deacon at his Open Bible Tabernacle Baptist Church in Lizella, usually sitting in the back because of his height, but in the later years moving to the third row, to hear better.
In high school, he was an end on the varsity football team. Basketball Coach Tom Porter eyed Gerald’s height and wanted to make a basketball player out of him. Though tall, when Gerald took a hook shot, he would bend his elbows, reducing the height of the basketball, resulting in block shots. So Porter devised two stovepipe-type devices, attached to leather straps, which he would have Gerald put on in practice, so that when shooting, his elbow would not bend. Though Gerald practiced mightily with these contraptions, when he took them off for play against others, Gerald would still bend his elbow. Porter’s project failed. It was Coach Porter that nicknamed Gerald “Gooney Bird,” and that stuck, and the way most classmates knew him.
Gerald Harrold Smith, 1935-2019: May you rest in peace.

USA needs major changes, including 4 new amendments
By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist
“We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.”– Justice Brandeis.
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. | Many citizens believe the United States is a democracy. However, Raleigh Perry was 100 percent correct in his GwinnettForum column (6-7-19): we are a Republic. The proof: two out of three of our last Presidents were selected by the Electoral College… losing the popular vote (i.e. the smaller states selected the president).
But, the 1700s were a different world. The Founding Fathers, landed gentry, didn’t trust the uneducated masses enough to give them a democracy. They also didn’t give the vote to women and Negros. However, we corrected those mistakes via Constitutional Amendments. Now, the USA needs to remedy other basic failings, some completely unforeseen by the Founders.
Unfortunately, our Supreme Court (SCOTUS) is currently controlled by ‘’original intent” Scalia-type activists who want minimal change unless it’s regressive. Apparently they believe we are still stuck in the 1700s. Four of these justices were appointed by Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump, both of whom lost the popular vote.
Here’s just a few of the changes our nation needs.
New federal laws:
- Disenfranchisement: Voter restrictions are discouraging participation, especially after the activist 2013 SCOTUS decision invalidating part of the 1965 Voting Rights Law (in place for nearly 50 years). A much stronger Voter’s Rights Bill should be passed by Congress (note: several have been introduced, but killed by the Republicans).
- Gerrymandering: Those in power stay in power by drawing districts to help themselves, negating the will of voters via “packing” (concentrating a type of voter in a district) and “cracking” (dispersing voters of a certain type over several districts). Federal laws could be passed to discourage these practices on the part of states. For example, requiring all states to utilize non-partisan redistricting commissions as used by 17 states now. Note: since SCOTUS recently rejected these laws, constitutional amendments will be needed.
Constitutional Amendments Needed:
- Transparency of campaign financing: Thanks to SCOTUS’s misguided, naïve 2010 Citizens United decision, dark money has become even more prevalent in our political system. “Super Pac” spending reached $1.5 billion in 2018 (per Open Secrets). Citizens United (and the closely related Speech Now decision) overturned campaign financing laws and regulations designed to prevent corporations from simply buying our elections.
- Limitations on contributions: Speech Now/Citizens United also took the individual contributions restrictions off, as a way of guaranteeing corporations a right to “free speech”, a right never stated in the Constitution for businesses versus citizens.
- Electoral college: We can’t be a democracy until every citizen’s vote is counted equally, regardless of state size. The Electoral College is no longer needed.
- Senators distributed by population: Senators should be distributed by state on the basis of population. It’s undemocratic to have one Senator per 20 million for California residents and one Senator per 577,737 (2018) Wyoming residents.
Will these sorely needed changes take place overnight? No; we won’t have a democracy until voters demand it.

Jostling with letter writer about services not wanting to pay for
Editor, the Forum:
Here’s an open letter to Joe Briggs:
I agree 100 percent w
ith you (Letters, 6/28). Listed below are issues with which, even though I recognize some degree of limited and discrete need, I should not be obligated to pay for:
- Child detention facilities.
- Deportation of undocumented law abiding immigrants.
- Deportation of people brought to this country as children.
- Prisons for the detention of people guilty of petty crimes.
- Jails to hold people who can’t afford bail.
With “tongue-in-cheek,” I’ll also add the following:
- Roads on which I will never ride.
- Airports from which I will never fly.
- Research of diseases caused by smoking.
- Research on alcoholism.
- Research on obesity.
Well, you get the picture. Now all we have to do is take control of the government so we can pass and sign into law bills that either hamstring or outright forbid tax dollars being spent on any of these items because we know that money is fungible. Our moral objection trumps (no pun intended) any limited or discrete need for these items.
— Hoyt Tuggle, Buford
Plans to run for president, possibly after the train crosses in Buford
Editor, the Forum:
There are too many candidates on the Democratic side. it seems that everyone wants to run. I have not announced my candidacy as of yet and will not do so until the field narrows a bit. I will announce it in The New York Times as a letter to the editor, if they will print it.
Otherwise, I will stand in the middle of downtown Buford by the railroad tracks and as soon as a train comes, I will announce. That way, no one will hear my announcement. That’s about as good a chance that I would have as some of the many Democratic would-be candidates.
— Raleigh Perry, Buford

County plans 3 hearings on adjusted proposed millage rates
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners will hold three public hearings to receive comments on the proposed 2019 millage rates.
Two hearings will be held Monday, July 8 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and a third is scheduled for Monday, July 15 at 6:30 p.m. The three hearings will take place in the auditorium of the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. The millage rate adoption is scheduled to take place Tuesday, July 16 at 2 p.m.
The Gwinnett County Tax Assessor calculates the total value of all property in the county, called the tax digest, by conducting annual property updates of residential and commercial property and issuing assessment notices to the owners in accordance with state law. When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia law requires taxing authorities to compute a rollback millage rate for maintenance and operations that will produce the same total revenue based on the current year’s digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments occurred. If a jurisdiction considers a millage rate for adoption that is above the rollback millage rate, then the millage rate under consideration is considered a tax increase.
For 2019, Gwinnett County’s rollback millage rate is calculated at 6.876 mills. The 2019 millage rate that the Board of Commissioners is considering is 7.400, or 0.524 mills above the rollback millage rate. As such, state law requires that the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners announce a property tax increase. Required notices for the millage rate adoption will be published in the county’s legal organ Sunday, June 30.
“Whenever possible, the County has reduced the General Fund millage rate and has done so three out of the last five years,” said Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlotte Nash. “However, the demand for services and the cost of providing them to our residents and businesses continue to grow. This proposed millage rate will allow us to maintain our current service levels and meet increased demand.”

Leithead is new executive director of Lilburn community district
Lilburn Community Improvement District (LCID) , has appointed Tad Leithead as its new executive director. The CID is a self-taxing organization comprised of business owners who use additional property taxes to enhance economic development by contributing to infrastructure and security improvements in the Lilburn area.
Leithead
Leithead joins LCID after having been board chair and then executive director of the Cumberland CID, the oldest and largest CID in Georgia. Leithead’s experience in governmental, development and transportation relations through his consulting firm, Urban One Associates, led him to work with Midtown Alliance, Perimeter, Gwinnett and Cobb Counties to help form other CIDs.
In addition to these organizations, the work Leithead did with the Atlanta Regional Commission and his commercial real estate experience with Cousins Properties and Childress Klein Properties made him the ideal candidate to succeed Emory Morsberger, who is leaving LCID on June 30 and has become the executive director of Gateway85 CID.
The transition of LCID’s new leadership will become official on July 1, 2019.

No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin
From John Titus, Peachtree Corners: I was about 14 months old on December 7, 1941. The only things I remember about the war are being chased inside by a neighborhood air raid warden, later a VE Day Celebration, and that my father worked for the Office of Price Administration.
This book enhanced my knowledge of what happened during those years. It describes how FDR began preparing for war in the face of strong isolationist opposition, went against the advice of his military leaders to extend early aid to Great Britain and later Russia, and always kept victory as his primary focus. At the same time Eleanor was his eyes, ears and often conscience, traveling extensively and reporting back to him, always emphasizing the war effort would help in the struggle for reform in civil rights, women’s rights, and housing and welfare reform. It is of two different personalities working together during America’s most challenging period. The full title is No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II.

Earliest lighthouse on Georgia coast was constructed in 1736
When British general James Oglethorpe landed on Georgia’s coast in 1733, he realized that the success of his new colony, Savannah, depended largely on its establishment and development as a commercial port. Only three years later, in 1736, the first lighthouse was built in Georgia. Of the 15 lighthouses built along Georgia’s ever-changing coastline, only five remain, three of which have functional lights.
Located at the mouth of the Savannah River, the Tybee Island Lighthouse was the first on Georgia’s coast. Erected in 1736 and standing only 90 feet high, this structure served as a day mark for ships coming into the port of Savannah. It was, unfortunately, built too close to shore and was toppled by a severe storm in 1741. Rebuilt in 1742 again too close to the sea, this second structure suffered the same fate.
A third tower, 100 feet high and constructed of brick, was completed in 1773 at a site farther back from the ocean. In 1790 the Tybee Lighthouse joined the federally operated U.S. Lighthouse Establishment. Using large candles with large metal discs as an illuminate for the lantern room, Tybee changed its status from day mark to lighthouse.
In 1822 a second, shorter lighthouse was built on Tybee Island adjacent to the first. By sailing to a position where the two lighthouses were aligned, a mariner could accurately approach the Savannah River channel. This system of two lights is called range lights.
By 1857 a second-order Fresnel lens was installed in the main lighthouse. Invented in 1823, the Fresnel lens produces a bright beam by concentrating and magnifying light, which can be seen up to 18 miles out to sea. First- and second-order lenses (the largest) are used on seacoasts and are called landfall lights; third- and fourth-order lenses signal harbor entrances; and fifth- and sixth-order lenses (the smallest) mark rivers and channels.
The light produced by the Fresnel lens was so brilliant that in 1861, when Union troops occupied Tybee, Confederates stationed nearby at Fort Pulaski were sent to burn the lighthouse’s wooden stairs and landings. The Union soldiers repaired the damage, however, and used the tower until the surrender of Fort Pulaski in 1862. Four years later a new lighthouse was built, using the lower 60 feet of the 1773 structure as a foundation. Activated in 1867, this 154-foot tower was reclassified as a major aid to navigation and required three keepers to staff the station.
Once the light was converted to electricity in 1933, there was no longer a need for three keepers. Maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard until 1987, this lighthouse remains one of America’s most intact light stations, with all its historic support structures still on site. The station is now maintained by the Tybee Island Historical Society and is open to the public.

Tombstone for a patriot is this edition’s Mystery Photo
Here’s a patriotic theme Mystery Photo for the Fourth of July period. Try to figure which patriot is buried at this site, and where it is. Send your answers to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.
Holly and Don Moore of Suwanee correctly identified the past Mystery Photo, that of Ross Castle in Killarney National Park, County Kerry, Ireland. The photo was sent in by Molly Titus of Peachtree Corners.
The Moores said of the photo: “Ross Castle sits on the edge of Killarney’s lower lake and was built by O’Donoghue Mór in the 15th century. The Castle came into the hands of the Brownes who became the Earls of Kenmare and owned an extensive portion of the lands that are now part of Killarney National Park . Legend has it that O’Donoghue still exists in a deep slumber under the waters of Lough Leane. On the first morning of May every seven years he rises from the lake on his magnificent white horse and circles the lake. Anyone catching a glimpse of him is said to be assured of good fortune for the rest of their lives. The large rock at the entrance to the bay is known as O’Donoghue’s prison. Ross Castle was the last stronghold in Munster to hold out against Cromwell. It was eventually taken by General Ludlow in 1652.”
Also recognizing the photo were Mary Hester of Duluth and Lou Camerio, Lilburn.
Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill writes: “This is Ross Castle on the banks of Lough Leane (a lake) in Killarney National Park. It was the last stronghold in Muster to hold out against Oliver Cromwell’s army during the Irish Confederate wars in the mid-1600s. It has changed hands several times and is now a popular tourist attraction.’
The castle in an 1889 photo.
George Graf of Palmyra, Va. tells us: “Situated on the southern shore of Lough Sheelin (where you may fish for the brown trout) Ross Castle is rumored to be haunted by several specters and ghosts. An investigation in the Summer of 2006 provided no conclusive tangible evidence – but the participants agreed that ‘there was something.’”
Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex.: “The Irish had a prophecy that Ross Castle could never be taken until a warship could swim on the lake. A refrain from this prophecy reads “Ross may all assault disdain, till on Lough Lein strange ship shall sail.” While this was an unbelievable prospect at the time, that was exactly what happened in 1652 when Oliver Cromwell’s Roundheads built the warships in Kinsale, and used them to carry heavy artillery down the River Laune from the North Atlantic Ocean to Lake Leane. Once ashore, the artillery was dragged by oxen towards the castle. The sight of the ships and artillery had so unnerved the O’Donoghues clan that they knew that their prophecy had come true and they soon surrendered the castle to Cromwell.”
