Gateway85 CID plans $500,000 cluster plan improvements
By Robert Michener
NORCROSS, Ga. | Following approval of its Freight Cluster Plan findings earlier this month, Gateway85 Community Improvement District (CID) plans to immediately invest a half million dollars to execute key project recommendations designed to improve the district’s infrastructure and mobility.
Morsberger
Emory Morsberger, executive director of the CID, says: “Massive growth in our district, considered the gateway to metro Atlanta, is creating equally large traffic challenges. Through our partnership with the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and Gwinnett County, we are meeting these challenges head on.”
The Freight Cluster Plan focused on the area south of Jimmy Carter Boulevard and west of I-85, which was recognized as a freight-intensive cluster by the ARC in 2016. The study, conducted by Cambridge Systematics, which was conducted over two years and cost more than $300,000, identified 200+ potential projects, including intersection improvements, pedestrian upgrades, roadway operational projects and more.
The CID, in partnership with Kimley-Horn, is prioritizing projects from the list designed to improve safety, infrastructure maintenance and capacity building. The following short-term projects will receive funding for immediate execution, including:
- Extending turn lanes throughout the district to allow for today’s larger and longer trucks to better navigate traffic and avoid curb destruction;
- Adjusting traffic signal timing to better mitigate traffic congestion;
- Partnering with Gwinnett County on resurfacing efforts for railroad crossings and roadways within the district; and
- Installing improved wayfinding signage and added pedestrian crossings to ensure efficient and safe traffic flow.
The Freight Cluster Plan was the result of the ARC’s 2017 Transportation Improvement Program project recommendations. Part of that funding was for $1 million to be divided equally among four areas the ARC identified as Freight Clusters. Gwinnett County and Gateway85 CID supplemented the initial $250,000 with a 20 percent match to begin a study focused on freight movement in the district and worked in concert with the Department of Transportation for both Gwinnett County and the state of Georgia.
Lewis Cooksey, director of Transportation for Gwinnett County, says: “Partnerships with CID districts like Gateway85 allow the Gwinnett County Transportation Department to better prioritize and find solutions that will improve mobility. Gateway85’s property owners are motivated to keep business moving and with their added investment, we can complete projects more quickly together. The Freight Cluster Plan has provided us with an important list of initiatives, and we look forward to working with Gateway85 to complete more update.”

Come together, Georgia, to stop these senseless shootings

Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
MARCH 19, 2021 | The senseless shooting rampage that killed eight Georgians this week tears at your very being. It horrifies us. Can’t we as a people do better than that?
It seems that shootings in America, and now in Georgia, are beginning to be routinely expected. Each week gives new accounts:
- Eight dead by one hand this week.
- Six shootings the week before in Atlanta.
- Another: 12 shootings in Atlanta.
- Next week: no telling how many more.
It is sickening and downright frightening for any community. While much of the local violence is concentrated in downtown Atlanta, it’s happening in other cities across the state and nation. Its results are unacceptable, but predictable. Families devastated by deaths are in misery. Police, up to their elbows in danger, are caught up too often in officer-involved shootings of black and white citizens. Parents rally to end gun violence. The whole Black Lives Matter came out of these incidents.
Yet for all the attention and outrage, the shootings continue. Lawmakers fail to close loopholes and fail to take proactive steps to curtail the outbursts.
These shootings take down people from all communities and races. They can only be called crimes against all humanity.
So far multiple outbreaks of random shootings haven’t routinely occurred in Gwinnett County, though it would not surprise us to see this happening in one of our Gwinnett cities. Certainly, Gwinnett has had individual shootings by its citizens. We can only hope and pray that the county is spared from random mass outbreaks, since there seems to be no easy way to stop these useless shootings.
Though the Georgia Legislature is in session, the interests of lawmakers seem primarily focused on other, somewhat less important, areas: limiting voting in one way or another, or raising their own salary, or trying to get a bill passed concerning the way we keep our clocks. No matter what the Legislature does in the last days of the session, state legislators don’t seem intent on limiting weaponry in any way.
Meanwhile, as we count multiple individual shootings, random drive-by killing of the innocent, or mass gunfire incidents, both the Congress and the individual state legislatures do nothing to curtail the power of the National Rifle Association and other weapons groups about the spread of incidents from firearms. Most Americans see as outrageous the ownership of high velocity automatic pistols or rifles. What use are these weapons except for hunting for game? They are useful if you want to raise an Army, perhaps to overthrow a country.
While our nation has recently seen more random shootings, the outbreak of violence around weapons seems to have intensified lately. This week’s death of eight people in Georgia from weapons redoubles our need to adopt measures to curtail this violence.
It will take years of hard work, and a sensible plan from community outrage. It will take increased funding of mental health programs, sensible patrolling by police of neighborhoods, and much communication and involvement by multiple groups, to halt such random shootings.
It’s obvious that a background check takes place before any gun is able to be purchased. This week’s shootings had the shooter buying a gun earlier the same day it was used to kill eight people.

Passage of H.B. 1 depends on filibuster outcome
By George Wilson, contributing columnist
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. | A filibuster in the U.S. Senate permits a senator to stop popular legislation. Initially, it required a senator to hold the floor by refusing to stop talking. This took many hours and was exhausting, so it was a last resort to stop something that otherwise would pass (and was almost always used to stop civil rights legislation).
But, rules changes over time changed the filibuster to permit a senator to stop legislation simply by threatening to create such a roadblock.
Furthermore, this has meant that the burden of passing legislation has fallen on the majority, which needs to find 60 votes to stop a filibuster rather than a simple majority of 51 to pass a bill. Meanwhile, the role of the minority has simply been to refuse to entertain the action.
The Senate, especially under the former leadership of Republican Mitch McConnell, has largely ceased to legislate. This development has served the Republicans, happy not to pass legislation because they would like to turn the functions of government over to private interests and the oligarchs.
However, Democrats think that bills that pass the House of Representatives should get a hearing in the Senate and, if they get a yes vote from a majority of senators, should pass.
There has been resistance to ending the filibuster and increasingly talk of returning the filibuster to its original form, requiring those opposed to a popular measure not simply to register their disapproval to take it off the calendar, but actually to hold the floor to talk a measure to death. Once they give up and yield the floor, the measure can pass by a simple majority vote.
Reinstating the old system, in which a minority eager to stop the passage of a bill must hold the floor and continue the debate, has begun to win adherents, including Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV). “The filibuster should be painful, and we’ve made it more comfortable over the years,” said Manchin.
At stake is the passage of H.B. 1, the “For the People Act,” and a sweeping voting rights bill passed last week by the House of Representatives. Senate Republicans have vowed to kill the bill. Increasingly unpopular, Republicans are dependent on voter suppression techniques and gerrymandering—both addressed in the bill– to continue to have a shot at winning elections. For example, Republican legislatures including Georgia and across the country are currently trying to pass a wide range of voter suppression measures.
For their part, Democrats recognize that if the Republicans’ voter suppression and gerrymandering techniques are allowed to go forward unchallenged, Democrats will be hard-pressed ever again to win control of the government. The nation will, in effect, become a one-party state, not unlike the one that controlled the American South from the 1870s to the 1960s.
Finally, H.R. 1 spells the future of the American political system: with it, Republicans will have to reform and win elections on a level playing field; without it, Democrats will be unlikely to be able to compete against Republican rigging of the system.
The future of the nation depends on H.R. 1; the future of H.R. 1 depends on the outcome of the filibuster consideration.

Agrees with thoughts concerning Clayton at Crogan corner
Editor, the Forum:
I agree completely with your thoughts on the Lawrenceville corner. Sadly, it seems by the time a feeler proposal is released to the public, it is most often, as they say, “already a done deal”.
— Elizabeth Truluck Neace, Dacula
Editor, the Forum:
Thank you for this comment on block across from Historic Courthouse, will so distract from the beautiful cultural arts building. And Aurora. Just a small bit of green in the center of this area much more needed. Every time I go around that corner and think what may go there, I think: “What a waste!”
— Frances Johnson, Lawrenceville

Stimulus funds to begin emergency rental assistance
The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners announced Tuesday that the County will use more than $28.1 million in stimulus funds from the federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program to launch an extension of its Project RESET eviction prevention program.
Project RESET — developed last fall by Chief Magistrate Kristina Hammer Blum, District 4 Commissioner Marlene Fosque and HomeFirst Gwinnett’s Matt Elder — used CARES Act funding to make past-due rent payments directly to landlords in order to prevent imminent evictions and keep tenants stably housed. As of March 12, the program has assisted 849 households with more than $3.75 million in rental assistance for those affected by COVID-19.
The previous version of the program offered up to 6 months of assistance, whereas this extension offers up to 15 months of total assistance, which may include rental and/or utility arrears (up to 12 months) and future rental and/or utility assistance if needed. The extension will allow applicants to seek financial support for past-due utility payment assistance as well as past-due rent.
To receive assistance, applicants must be a renter in Gwinnett County; have a household income at or below 80 percent of the area median income; have either qualified for unemployment benefits or experienced a reduction in household income, incurred significant costs or experienced a financial hardship due to COVID-19; and demonstrate a risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability through having an eviction notice, past due rent or utility notice.
Applications for this program will open in late April. Payments will be made directly to landlords and utility providers for past-due balances.
County allocated $125,000 funding for the arts promotion
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners has allocated $125,000 for an arts promotion organization to develop a creative economy master plan that will help provide vision, goals, priorities and strategic direction for the arts in Gwinnett.
The nonprofit Artworks! Gwinnett Inc. will create the master plan, the first step in developing an Arts in Communities program to expand the presence of the arts in Gwinnett. On top of the funding the County is providing for this initiative, Artworks! Gwinnett is expected to secure an additional $125,000 from other community partners.
Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson says: “The Gwinnett County 2040 Unified Plan identifies ‘Keep Gwinnett a Preferred Place’ as one of the five themes guiding county decisions. A thriving arts community attracts tourists and diverse talent, brings about innovation and grows the economy. When we invest in the arts, everyone benefits.”
The master plan will also help lay the foundation for developing policies for funding, identify and create an inventory of current resources, develop a priority of future projects, provide guidelines for future maintenance plans, and encourage a sense of community with residents and stakeholders through community participation.
Artworks! Gwinnett works to strengthen the cultural quality of life for Gwinnett County residents by creating a vision that identifies resources and advocates for a cultural economy

Lords of the Sea by Alan G. Jamieson
From Raleigh Perry, Buford: I sought for a book with this information in it 20 years ago when I was writing an academic paper on the Barbary Wars, our first war with an Islamic state. In working on my paper, I researched over 40 books. None, however, told me when and why the Barbary Pirates evolved. There were no books published in the U.S. that included that data. In searches of English bookshops, there were none found. I should have known! When Ferdinand and Isabella forced all Jews and Muslims out of Spain, they went across the Strait of Gibraltar and started pirating. No countries’ ships were immune. When the U.S. was formed, and its ships showed up, that was just another source of bounty for the Barbary pirates. Captured ships were sold and captured crews and passengers were enslaved. The full title is Lords of the Sea, a History of the Barbary Corsairs.

Atlanta resident was member of famed Tuskegee airmen
A member of the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame, Atlanta resident Charles Dryden was one of the famed Tuskegee Airmen of World War II (1941-45), whose service helped usher in the desegregation of the U.S. armed forces. He also flew combat missions during the Korean War (1950-53).
Tuskegee Airmen
Charles Walter Dryden was born in New York City on September 16, 1920, to Jamaican immigrants Violet and Charles Levy (or Levi) Tucker Dryden. He grew up with stories of his father’s experiences as a Jamaican sergeant during World War I (1917-18) and the daring exploits of Corporal Eugene Bullard (the “Black Swallow of Death”), the famed African American fighter pilot. Both parents had taught at colleges in Jamaica.
Dryden graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1938. He received a bachelor’s degree in political science from Hofstra University, in New York, in 1955 and a master of arts in public law and government from Columbia University, also in New York, in 1957. With his first wife, he had three children. He later married Marymal Morgan.
In the early 1940s, his focus was on joining the U.S. Army Air Corps’ program to develop African American pilots at a new training center located near the Tuskegee Institute in central Alabama. Dryden was one of 992 African Americans who eventually became military pilots at Tuskegee. In August 1941 Dryden gained a place in what would become the second class to finish Aviation Cadet Training (in April 1942).
Flying P-40F Warhawks, the 99th Fighter Squadron was commanded by Captain Benjamin O. Davis Jr. In April 1943 the airmen arrived in Tunisia, in North Africa, but did not see their first action until June in Italy. On June 9 First Lieutenant Dryden led five other fighters into combat against German aircraft over the Sicilian town of Pantelleria, the first time the African American pilots had engaged the enemy while flying for the U.S. Army Air Corps. Soon after, they began flying P-51 Mustangs, nicknamed “Red Tails” for their distinctive unit markings.

Peaceful pond should be great place for fishing
Today’s Mystery Photo is a mighty restful scene of a pond somewhere in Georgia. Be very quiet, and you can almost hear someone casting for fish. Tell us where you think this scene is located, then send your answer to elliott@brack.net to include your hometown.
We sought in the last Mystery Photo to confuse you with the clues, mentioning amphitheaters in Italy and Greece in this photo from Mark Barlow of Peachtree Corners. But these spotters were not fooled, as they recognized the theatre at Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico: George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Cindy Evans, Duluth; and Lou Camerio, Lilburn.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. gave more detail: “It is the Amphitheater at the Natural Entrance to the Carlsbad Cavern, a large limestone chamber in the Carlsbad Caverns National Park, approximately 18-miles southwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico. It gets 410,000 visitors annually. The amphitheater is used to host a nightly ‘bat flight viewing’ program, between Memorial Day though mid-October. The amphitheater is also used during regular star parties at night, where park rangers host informational programs on the celestial night sky and telescopes are also made available. These parties are often held in conjunction with special astronomical events, such as a transit of Venus.
“It was declared as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1995. Know that:
- There over 30-miles of passages throughput the 120 known caves in the park.
- Unlike most caves, there are no flowing rivers or streams inside the caves. The caverns were forged by sulfuric acid – not water erosion.
- In 1959, Carlsbad Caverns served as a location for the movie “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” Filming took place in the Kings Palace and the Boneyard.”
Old-time baptisms could take place alongside a road
Old-time Protestant baptisms were mostly held outdoors. This baptism, which dates from about 1938, was in a ditch off North Road in Snellville, near where Eastside Gardens Assisted Living is located, between North Road and Georgia Highway 124. Being baptized is James Perry Moon, with his mother and aunt in the water awaiting their turn. The minister leading the ceremony is Andrew J. Johnson of Snellville Baptist church. Awaiting baptism is Henry Taylor and Ada Gay Phillips Moon, in the center of the photo. Taylor is the big man with gray hair. Henry and Ada Gay are grandparents of Janice Jackson Rutlege. (Steve Todd recognized the location). Photo provided by Marlene Ratledge Buchanan.
