SERENE PLAZA: Roving Photographer Frank Sharp made this gorgeous view of the Holy Vietnamese Martyrs Catholic Church plaza, a peaceful and tranquil area, though adjacent to bustling Interstate 85 at Beaver Ruin Road. Blessed by Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory on August 27, 2017, the huge stone and brick edifice marked another step toward the long-sought goal of the new $14.5 million church, which opened in late 2019. The church has 1,600 registered families. (Also see another view of the church in Lagniappe below.)

Democrats have a radical frontrunner in Bernie Sanders
By Debra Houston, contributing columnist
LILBURN, Ga. | Democrats have a radical frontrunner in Bernie Sanders. Thus the party is at war with itself. Who’s to blame? When so-called moderates in the Democratic Party pander to Marxists on its extreme left, what they get is Mr. Sanders.
The Vermont senator calls himself a Democratic Socialist, two words antithetical to each other. Democracy favors the individual whereas socialism favors the collective. It begins with class warfare, which Sanders has turned into an art form.
It is divisive, promulgating the idea that the rich prevent the poor and minorities from improving their lot in life. In other words, it’s “the man” who keeps you down and miserable. The hideous rhetoric is part of the game plan. If you don’t believe me, read up on how Fidel Castro, Lenin, and Hugo Chávez, dictator of Venezuela, gained power. Coincidentally, Chávez also called himself a Democratic Socialist. (Wikipedia) In Sanders’s case, it may be that his supporters had never felt exploited until he planted the idea in their heads.
At the heart of socialism is income redistribution, which is why Sanders viciously attacked Michael Bloomberg during the last debate. Sanders pounded the podium, threatening to overtax Mr. Bloomberg’s wealth. At one point, he turned to Bloomberg and shouted an obscene word at him — “Billionaire!” Yet socialism can’t exist without the Bloombergs of the world. Overtaxing “the man” will fund Sanders’s wacky ideas.
Socialism also redistributes health care and education. “Medicare For All” makes a great slogan, but it’s not your grandma’s Medicare. Instead it’s watered down universal health care. Free higher education sounds tempting as well, but what will they teach our youth? More propaganda, no doubt. Sanders touts that Castro raised literacy in Cuba, but that doesn’t mean Cubans read Thomas Paine. Neither will our students if we vote-in socialism.
Instead of lifting everyone up, socialism drags everyone down. Got land? It now belongs to the government. What about the middle class? It won’t exist. In recent decades, the black middle class has grown and black Americans have experienced unprecedented upward mobility. (A trip to Cuba will show you that there is no middle class there, and food is so scarce that people have to shop for food daily.)
We can’t allow a socialist president to reverse those gains. Finally, as we become more dependent on government, it will tighten its noose around our necks. Then we Americans will share full equality when we can’t defend ourselves against an oppressive government because it has seized our guns.
Instead of exploiting the pain some Americans feel, why not build them up? Sanders might say, “Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re unworthy. You’re not. If you need a job, find one. Don’t give up until you do. Learn to manage your money. There are free classes to teach you how. If you face racism, understand that it’s a mental disease.’
I apologize. Those sound like Republican ideas.

In Gwinnett, few Republicans may run for local offices
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
FEB. 28, 2020 | Have you noticed? The Gwinnett Republican Party has so far about vanished in the run-up to this political season. The once-strong and dominant party is having difficulty finding candidates to run for local political offices, that is, compared to the Gwinnett Democratic Party.
If anything, the Democrats are awash with candidates.
Actually, for some smart Republican who might aim for local offices, it’s a pretty good time to run. They probably won’t draw any opposition in the party primary, and can take on the Democrat for that post in the November election. That gives the Republican plenty of time to campaign, and possibly “upset” the Democrat. But so far, few Republicans have announced that they will run.
It appears many Democrats are chomping at the bit to run for office, and get elected this season. They feel this way because of the strong showing that Democrats scored in the two most recent General Elections in Gwinnett. You may remember that Hillary Clinton won Gwinnett in 2016 (52 percent of the vote), and Stacey Abrams took a whopping 67 percent in Gwinnett in her race for governor. Meanwhile, in 2018 several local Democrats beat their Republican opposition, so all this is why Gwinnett Democrats are so excited about their chances in 2020.
Will the 2020 local results be similar to the historic take-over in 1984 that the Republicans surprised most everyone (including themselves) when they swept every contended office? (The GOP won 17 of 17 offices that year, and ever since, Gwinnett has been seen as a heavily Republican county.)
Several Democrats feel their time is coming in 2020. Most of the candidates we have heard about running have been Democrats. Those running as Republican who have the best chance are those currently serving in some office, although any GOP candidate may be running scared this year.
Back in the old days when virtually the entire state was Democratically controlled, any race was usually decided in the Democratic primary. The General Election might field Republican candidates, but even most of those candidates realized their chance was slim to none. That’s the way it had always been in Georgia.
But beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, many of the people moving to Georgia from other parts of the country were not automatically Democrats. And slowly, particularly in the fast-growing parts of the state, especially Cobb and Gwinnett counties, many of those newcomers had grown up in either the Republican tradition, or at least in areas where there were real contests between the two parties.
Few realized until 1984 this movement of more conservative voters, and it came with a big boom! Surprised candidates in both parties saw the Republican majority in Gwinnett. And in the years that followed, other parts of Georgia came into the Republican fold, thanks in no small part to the election of Ronald Reagan as president.
That made it easier for what was once called the “wool hat boys” from rural Georgia to question the Georgia Democrats as never before. And by 2002, Georgians were surprised again when that Democratic of all bastions, the Georgia General Assembly, somehow got away from the Democrats. Since then, Georgia has pretty much been a majority “red” state. Though the Democrats have always put up opposition, that party has seen few rich and robust chances in winning many seats in recent days.
But in Gwinnett, Democrats may run strong this year.
By qualifying time March 6, Republicans may find slim pickings in Gwinnett.

Storm clouds on the economy: Are we close to a major crash?
(Editor’s Note: This was written before the big drop in the stock market of this week.—eeb).
By George Wilson, contributing columnist
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. | The economy is fundamentally driven by ‘turbo-charged” debt and stock buybacks by corporations that were aided by large tax cuts.
Furthermore, people have bought stocks to seek higher returns as low bank interest continues. In summary, let’s be clear, corporate earnings are not driving the market; debt and deficit spending are the primary drivers.
We have some indicators to seek guidance on how the stock market and the economy will perform in the future.
One is the “Buffett Indicator,” which is the total capitalization of the U.S. stock market divided by the U.S. gross domestic product.
It has reached a record high of 158 percent; it was 146 percent when the market crashed in 2000 and 137 percent before the great recession in 2008.
Another is the inverted yield curve. The U.S. Treasury yield curve inverted again, with three-month Treasury bills, holding a higher yield (1.56 percent) than 10-year Treasury notes (1.46 percent).
Secondly, this is the second time the yield curve has inverted in a matter of weeks, and the third time in a matter of months. It’s the deepest the yield curve has been inverted since October 9.
Why it matters: Economists at the Fed call the three-month/10-year inversion the “best summary measure” of an economic downturn. Not only that, but a yield curve inversion has preceded every recession of the last 50 years within approximately six to 24 months.
In addition, income inequality remains a major problem. It is no secret that the closing of major retail shopping centers caused by shopping on the internet and stand alone big -box stores is the fact that rising income inequality has left the middle class strapped for cash to spend at the malls.
Another considerable drag on the economy, especially with young people wanting to start a family or business, is student debt, that has now reached is $1.6 trillion.
Lastly the coronavirus epidemic might have only a limited immediate impact on the U.S. economy, but by creating further uncertainty and disrupting supply chains in Asia, it will add to the long list of factors likely to hold back U.S. and global growth in 2020.
The temporary boost in business sentiment and investment that could have been expected from the U.S.-China trade deal last month is going to be offset by this new cloud of uncertainty over global trade. A worldwide recession is not yet on the cards, but at a minimum, the added uncertainty will restrain investment and productivity, which already looked anemic in all major economies.
Finally, the Trump administration not only has fostered bad economic policies, but is in complete denial. Also, with low interest rates, there isn’t much the Federal Reserve can do to get us out of a financial crisis.

Early Duluth First Methodist Church had its own library
Editor, the Forum:
I enjoyed the brief history of the Duluth First United Methodist Church! I am sure the building (if it could talk) and patrons have many stories to tell.
It would be nice to mention that the church had a library, dedicated to Louise McDaniel (1918-2003), who was a member and long time Duluth resident. She was born and raised on McDaniel Farm. The homestead is now known as McDaniel Farm Park. She was a teacher and librarian in Atlanta during her working years, and made a large enough impact on literacy and the community to substantiate the honor of having the Louise McDaniel Memorial Library named after her.
Just a nice little tidbit of info.

Ready to be on spaceship than to see jobs lost to automation
Editor, the Forum:
Pretty soon we are going to be like those cartoon characters from the movie Wall-E where we have no jobs and just circle the universe on a deluxe cruise spaceship. Now you may be scratching your head wondering where I’m going with this analogy, but the American worker is slowly losing their job to automation.
It got new speed with the self-checkout lines at Wal-marts and grocery stores. McDonald’s has automated its checkout lines too. And now banks are closing the tellers’ booths in favor of people using just the ATMs or going online to do their banking.
If all this doesn’t give you something to think about, how about the delivery system of any restaurants, like Chili’s or O’Charley’s or Outback delivering your meals to you, or the pharmacy coming to your home with your medication. The list goes on.
Why set foot outside of your home anymore? You can have whatever you need brought to your home. Are we becoming those people in H. G. Wells’ novel, The Time Machine, the Morlocks, the underground creatures? Personally, I want to be one of those people in the Wall-E luxury space ships until it gets too out of hand. Then I become Soylent Green. (Save your thumbs, I know two different movies, different outcomes, blah, blah, blah. But we could be heading that way.)

Lawrenceville gets Food Well Alliance grant for garden
Gwinnett County and the city of Lawrenceville received a $10,000 grant from Food Well Alliance for a new community garden at Rhodes Jordan Park. The garden will provide vegetables and greens to nearby residents who may not have access to nourishing food.
The alliance’s City Agriculture Grant will be used to support construction of the Lawrenceville Community Garden and develop an urban agriculture plan. The garden and related programs will help connect members of the community to needed services, offer classes on healthy lifestyles, and offer social opportunities to people in the area. The garden will be located near the Lawrenceville Senior Center.
The grant will help support Live Healthy Gwinnett’s Harvest Gwinnett initiative. Other Harvest Gwinnett partners are Gwinnett Parks and Recreation, Gwinnett Health and Human Services, UGA Extension Gwinnett, Georgia Gwinnett College, Gwinnett Tech and the city of Lawrenceville.
As envisioned, the garden will offer rentable plots, community shared rows, handicap accessible beds, a compost area and education space. The shared rows will provide fruits and vegetables to be donated to co-ops, churches and people in need. The first planting is set for late April.
The community garden will have hands-on learning opportunities for all ages and abilities, and will promote healthy eating habits by teaching people about nutrition, cooking, and food preservation. It also will help build diverse and collaborative relationships with community organizations, businesses, nonprofits and governmental entities.
Residents can learn how to be involved with the garden’s volunteer leadership group, plot rentals, community workdays and construction timeline at an upcoming session at the Lawrenceville Senior Center on Saturday, February 29 at 9 a.m.
Food Well Alliance, funded through the James M. Cox Foundation, is a nonprofit organization endeavoring to equip local growers, local governments and residents with the tools they need to protect and support food-producing spaces. Since 2015, Food Well Alliance has invested nearly $3 million into 150 local food organizations that are building healthy, equitable communities across Gwinnett, Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Clayton counties.
Shorty Howell Park will get low-maintenance synthetic turf
Shorty Howell Park in Duluth will be a little greener following a vote by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners to renovate and upgrade the park’s multipurpose field.
The $1.65 million project includes replacing existing Bermuda grass with low-maintenance, more-durable synthetic turf, and replacing existing field lights with brighter and more energy-efficient LED fixtures.The improvements are being paid for through the 2017 SPLOST approved by the voters.
The multipurpose field renovation project also includes adding more LED fixtures to light previously unlit practice areas. It also has drainage improvements, new concrete bleacher pads and walkways, new picnic tables, team benches, and soccer and football goals. The project construction is expected to begin in April and is planned to be finished in the fall.

The Invention of Nature by Andrea Wulf
From Rick Krause, Lilburn: This is an extraordinary account of an extraordinary man. Andrea Wulf’s book, The Invention of Nature, is an engrossing, marvelous book about the most famous scientist of his time, Alexander Von Humboldt. Wulf tells his story as no has ever before, chronicling his daring travels and expeditions and his exhaustive reporting and illustrating on all aspects of nature. His discovery and understanding that all disciplines of nature are intermeshed and connected, forming what he coined “ecology;” his recognizing man’s destruction of nature and its influence on climate; his relationship with contemporaries like Simon Bolivar and Thomas Jefferson; and the substantial influence of his work and publications on Darwin, Wordsworth, Muir, Thoreau, and even Goethe. Wulf brings it all together in this fascinating, unforgettable book—one of The New York Times 10 Best Books of the Year. The full title is The Invention of Nature—Alexander Von Humboldt’s New World.

Revival meetings in Georgia started in early 19th century
In early-21st-century Georgia, stadium-sized revival meetings featuring Billy Graham or the Promise Keepers attract tens of thousands of people. Such revivals are the modern-day descendants of early-19th-century camp meetings, held on grounds around the state, and a method of evangelical preaching that gained popularity in the late eighteenth century.
Whitefield
The tradition of revivalism in the South, and in Georgia in particular, traces its roots to what some historians call the Great Awakening. This, which occurred from about 1720 to 1780, was a series of revivals that sparked a move away from formal, outward, official religion to experiential, inward, personal religion. Its central figure, George Whitefield, was a traveling Anglican preacher from England who cooperated with Protestants of every sort to gain converts.
From his home base in Savannah, Whitefield brought a riveting new preaching style to the colonists. He spoke extemporaneously rather than read from a prepared sermon; he spoke to, not at, his listeners; he used pamphlets and newspapers to promote his sermons; and he used emotional entreaties rather than formal theology to convert thousands.
In Georgia and throughout the colonies Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians took Whitefield’s revival message to heart. Never having had the advantage of state support, these democratic-minded churches adopted the revivalist themes of individual exertion, earnest preaching, and soul searching.
Democratic in its appeal and egalitarian in its preaching, revivalism fit the social and political spirit of the new nation. Members of the lower and middle classes were empowered by the Evangelical Protestantism preached by revivalists, through which they achieved identity and solidarity. Soon Methodist circuit riders and Baptist farmer-preachers replaced learned pastors as leaders of those churches. Whitefield and other itinerant preachers went out of their way to preach to all persons, including enslaved African Americans. By 1773 there was an independent African American church in South Carolina, and soon similar churches sprang up in Georgia and Virginia.

Product of nature is this issue’s Mystery Photo
Today we don’t feature a geographic scene, but a product of nature. This may be difficult for our mystery spotters, but simply: what is this? If you think you know, and yes, this may be difficult, send your answer to elliott@brack.net, and include your hometown.
Several of our regular photo spotters recognized the most recent mystery, the Mile High Swinging Bridge, Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina. The photo came from Jerry Colley of Alpharetta.
George Graf of Palmyra, Va. wrote: “A true landmark of a pioneering spirit, the Mile High Swinging Bridge welcomes all visitors to admire 360-degree panoramic views from Grandfather Mountain. The bridge has been in place since 1952 — and for just as long it’s excited the thousands who’ve walked across with the thrills of mile-high elevation. The Mile High Swinging Bridge, America’s highest suspension footbridge, was built to give visitors easy access to the breathtaking view from Grandfather Mountain’s Linville Peak. The 228-foot suspension bridge spans an 80-foot chasm at more than one mile in elevation. Former North Carolina Tourism Director Charles J. Parker coined the name “Mile High Swinging Bridge” at the Bridge’s dedication in 1952. The term “mile high” refers to the structure’s elevation above sea level (5,282 feet).”
This prompted Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex.: “Incidentally, a sign on one side of the swinging bridge describes the bridge as having an elevation of 5,282-feet, so technically I guess it should really be called “Mile-High and Two-Feet Swinging Bridge, right?”
Peel also adds “In 1952, Hugh MacRae Morton (1921-2006), a prolific photographer and nature conservationist from Wilmington N.C., inherited more than 4,000 acres of land on Grandfather Mountain in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Originally named after his great-grandfather (Donald MacRae), Morton immediately began to make the property more accessible to tourists, by extending and improving what is now called the Grandfather Mountain Entrance Road to the top of the mountain, and erecting the Mile High Swinging Bridge to provide visitors better access to the breathtaking view from Grandfather Mountain’s Linville Peak.”
Also recognizing the photo were Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; and Robert Foreman, Grayson.
