It’s time to wish Jimmy Carter a “Happy 97th Birthday”
(Editor’s note: The following first appeared in Statehouse Report in South Carolina. –eeb)
By Andy Brack
CHARLESTON, S.C. | Former President Jimmy Carter, now 97, was born when trains were a common form of transportation.
There were no interstates, information superhighways, fax machines, computers, emails or texts. Social media and instant communication to the other side of the world were the things of science fiction. Cars broke down a lot. Phones were elementary and not ubiquitous. Times were hard. A Depression was around the corner.
In An Hour Before Daylight, Carter described struggles on farms across the South like the one where he grew up outside of Plains, Ga.:
“Despite the extreme rural poverty that prevailed at the time, Southern farm population increased by 1.3 million between 1930 and 1935, as desperate people lost their jobs in failing factories, left their urban homes, and eventually wound up in places like our community.”
In this environment, Carter grew to form a value system based on family, community and church. Then, as now, he believes in things that may seem old-fashioned in today’s interconnected world — faith, honor, doing the right thing, helping others and moving forward for the betterment of all.
Carter, 1977.
Carter, governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975, swept into the presidency in 1977 after the international embarrassment of the Watergate scandal when Americans were looking for a decent man to be president. A Democrat, he carried the South and much of the Northeast, but failed to win states west of Missouri, other than Texas and Hawaii.
But Carter’s presidency didn’t set Washington on fire as he often didn’t play by its rules. By today’s standards, that would make him popular, but those were different times. Carter was an outsider when Republicans and Democrats cozied up to one another and lobbyists played an inside game even more out of the sunlight than today. It didn’t help that the country struggled to get out of an economic malaise and an energy crisis.
Yet Carter had successes. He pushed energy conservation during a time of profligate energy waste and when no one had heard of climate change. He promoted airline deregulation. He created the federal departments of education and energy as cabinet-level agencies. He boosted funding for Head Start and other safety net programs. In the arena of foreign policy, he was widely credited as getting leaders of Egypt and Israel to move toward Middle East peace through the Camp David accords.
After losing the 1980 election to Republican Ronald Reagan, Carter didn’t sit idly by drinking tea in the breeze. He embarked on a post-presidential career that set the gold standard for public service. Not only has he written more than 30 books — he had to make a living somehow — but he established the Carter Center in Atlanta, which promotes peace and human rights and monitors international elections. One of its most astounding successes has been leadership in a campaign to eradicate water-borne Guinea worm disease which once affected millions. In 2020, only 27 cases were documented worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.
During his life after the presidency, Carter has often been on construction sites helping to build houses for Habitat for Humanity. Internet memes crop up periodically that show Carter hard at work on a house just days after a fall that left him with a black eye. He even showed up for work while recovering from cancer. That’s toughness. That’s resilience. That’s commitment.
As the nation’s president who has lived longest — and who has had the longest post-presidential career — Jimmy Carter continues to inspire. He’s a quiet force whose strength, faith and goodwill are a testament to what’s still right in America. Learn from him.
Happy birthday, Mr. President!

Government of Poland honors Lawrenceville credit union official
Boutwell, flanked by the flags of the United States, Poland and European Union.

Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
OCT. 5, 2021 | A Gwinnett resident and credit union official has been honored by the Polish government. He is Marshall Boutwell of Lawrenceville, president of the Peach State Federal Credit Union, who has been awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland, in a token of Poland’s appreciation and gratitude for his support and friendship. It is one of the highest awards awarded by the Polish government to foreigners.
The Polish ambassador to the United States, Piotr Wilczek, made the presentation to Mr. Boutwell in Washington, D.C. on September 14. This was conferred on Mr. Boutwell by the president of Poland Andrzej Duda, in October 2020. The ambassador said: “Mr. Boutwell receives this distinction for his outstanding acts of service in developing Polish-American cooperation in the field of cooperative banking.”
Mr. Boutwell has been working with representatives of Polish credit unions over the last 25 years. Ambassador Wilczek said in his presentation: “His achievements in the development of credit unions in both the United States and in Poland are truly of great merit. He is one of many Americans who established contact with Poland after our country had shaken off the yoke of communism and began its return to the community of free nations, built a market economy and various institutions emblematic of the free world.
“The 1990s was a time of revival and construction of the credit union movement in Poland. It was at that time that cooperation between the credit union sector in Poland and credit unions in Georgia was established….an ambitious program of cooperation and “twinning” American credit unions from Georgia with their Polish counterparts, SKOKs, was initiated. I am pleased to say that this program is still operational, thanks to which new cooperative unions in Poland, from their inception, drew on the experience of American credit unions, with Mr. Robert Marshall Boutwell playing a very important role in that process.
“Thanks to his dedicated involvement, Polish credit unions benefited from many acts of unconditional help made by their U.S. counterparts in the form of financial donations. This
Assistance was extremely important, as cooperative unions in Poland in the early 1990s were created only by the efforts of social activities who, in this form of financial activity, saw the possibility of supporting Polish families in the difficult times of Poland’s recovery from poverty and backwardness, resulting from over 50 years of communism. The agreement between the Georgia Credit Union League and the Polish SKOKs became the basis and model for cooperation. The World Council of Credit Unions considered it to be exemplary.”
Poland has had a long history of credit unions, going back to rural savings and loan associations in the late 19th century. Later, under communism, credit unions were destroyed. Therefore, when the credit union movement returned in the 1990s, “it badly needed assistance from overseas friends, such as technical expertise, the exchanges of experiences, and also, financial input,” Wilczek said. He then added: “Mr. Boutwell indeed turned out to be such a great friend of Poland and Poles. Without this friendship and the support, the idea (of cooperative savings and credit unions) would not have been revived in Poland.”
Boutwell says that his work with the Polish credit union consisting of sharing best practices, and helped develop their aspirations with tactical learning on how to implement programs. It consisted of some direct financial grants and became a major cultural exchange. Boutwell added: “We gained far more in return, and appreciated developing cooperative financial programs in the former communist county. This happened when consumer financial matters hardly existed there.”

Thugs’ intersection takeovers are revenue generation schemes
(Editor’s Note: Peachtree Corners Councilman Alex Wright has posted information on the Internet about a recent intersection takeover in Peachtree Corners at Spalding Drive and Georgia Highway 141.–eeb).
By Alex Wright
PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga. | During last Tuesday’s City Council meeting, we received an update regarding the recent ‘takeover’ of Spalding and 141. We have received many emails about this situation and I wanted to share the information we had received from the police.
Wright
The groups that are doing these takeovers are not simply youthful joy riders. This is a revenue generation scheme. The activity is videotaped and then posted to YouTube where it generates revenue through views. The members of these “car clubs” then distribute the proceeds amongst themselves. We didn’t receive any details from a legal standpoint, but it appears that attempts are being made to work with YouTube to remove this financial incentive.
During the approximate time period of the intersection take over (11:30 p.m.) there were three robberies taking place in the West Police precinct: one about 30 minutes before (11 p.m.), one about the same time (11:30 p.m.) and then one about 30 minutes after (midnight). This is germane because at any given time the police only have so many resources available to deploy and incidents that are more serious (robbery, in one case, armed robbery) will get prioritized.
In spite of the stretched resources at that time, the police were able to dispatch a unit to the incident at Spalding and 141 within about five minutes of a call being made to the police. It is unclear what time the unit reached the scene.
The activity that took place at Spalding and 141 is classified as a misdemeanor. This is relevant because when the police show up, when the people doing the intersection takeover flee, especially if they flee at a high rate of speed, the police will not engage in a high speed pursuit for a misdemeanor. This makes it more difficult to apprehend the people doing this when they scatter.
The police made several recommendations of actions the City may consider and the Council will be discussing this situation and those recommendations at our next Council meeting on October 14.

Hice denies one of his constituents is within his district
Let me add to the transgressions of Jody Hice. He is an unresponsive Congressman to his constituents to the point of even denying that I live in his District.
Odd! When I wrote to him for some help on an issue, he or his staff, without responding, sent the request to the Seventh District, saying I was not in his Second District. My voter registration says I am. (Loganville is split into two districts.)
The Seventh District staff contacted me, and after some conversation, agreed I was in the Second District. I have yet to hear from Mr. Hice and it has been over a year. He needs to be out of politics completely. One of his ardent supporters replied to my Facebook comment that I had no right to expect a response. That is the essence of this man… just like Trump, only listen to his supporters and deny all else.
By the way, Tim Barr is campaigning for Congress with a sign and his words on one side, and the “Trump won Georgia” on the other. This is atrocious, and simply misinformation that should be challenged and he should withdraw from the Congressional race

Artworks Gwinnett seeks proposals for creative master plan
Artworks Gwinnett has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for a Creative Economy Master Plan for Gwinnett County.
One of the goals identified in Gwinnett’s 2040 Unified Plan was to create the Arts in Communities Program to enhance Gwinnett’s profile as a cultural destination where the arts educate, elevate, and inspire. The first step in making this program is to have a Creative Economy Master Plan as a road map to follow. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners has tasked Artworks to work with the community stakeholders to develop and issue the RFP for this Master Plan for Gwinnett.
The creative economy covers the knowledge-based economic activities upon which the ‘creative industries’ are based. These industries include advertising, architecture, arts and crafts, design, fashion, film, video, photography, music, performing arts, publishing, research and development, software, computer games, electronic publishing and TV/radio.
The pillars of the Master Plan are:
- Economic and Community Development: placemaking, engaging public space, creative architectural design and planning, redevelopment;
- Workforce Development: education development (student performance), job creation and training, formalized talent pipeline;
- Quality of Life/Community Outreach: mental health and wellness, access to art opportunities, celebrate diversity and engagement; and
- Art and Creative Resources: listing of resources (businesses, people), physical resources (infrastructure), and guidelines for maintaining current and future assets.
Jonathan Holmes, chair of Artworks Gwinnett, says: “The Master Plan will define our pathway for regional and national leadership, as well as enhancing public infrastructure and placemaking. A Master Plan can help lay the foundation for developing policies for funding, identify and create an inventory of current resources, develop a priority of future projects and provide guidelines for future maintenance plans. Furthermore, it will encourage a sense of community with residents and stakeholders through community participation in the process.” Jonathan Holmes, Chair, Artworks Gwinnett.
The RFP is available on the Artworks website https://www.artworksgwinnett.org/creative-economy-master-plan.
About Artworks: Artworks originated from an investment from Partnership Gwinnett. Leaders in Gwinnett County have long recognized the need for this community to prioritize, elevate and support the arts and creative economy. Artworks is solely committed to strengthening the cultural quality of life for the citizens of Gwinnett County by creating a vision, identifying resources, and advocating for a cultural economy.
Stripers name McCormick to replace English
The Atlanta Braves have named Erin (O’Donnell) McCormick as the new vice president and general manager for the Gwinnett Stripers. McCormick replaces Adam English, who will become the new general manager and chief operating officer of the Nashville Sounds (Triple-A, Milwaukee Brewers).
English
McCormick
McCormick makes Braves history as the first woman to be named as a general manager for an Atlanta minor league affiliate. She is one of four women currently serving as a general manager at the Triple-A level.
McCormick spent the previous three years as the Stripers’ assistant general manager, working alongside English in all facets of the club’s operation and directly overseeing all advertising, sponsorship implementation, ballpark entertainment, digital and social media, media relations, community relations, and merchandise.
McCormick enters her 15th season in Minor League Baseball in 2022, with five different major league affiliates. A native of Corpus Christi, Texas, she graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio with degrees in both Business Administration (Marketing) and Communications, with minors in Communication Management and History.
Creating 165 chemistry videos, GGC names Morris as top teacher
Dr. Joshua Morris. wants to flip the script on chemistry. Instead of typical classroom lectures on a complex subject, Morris, an associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC), posts easy-to-follow chemistry tutorials on YouTube, a popular social media platform utilized by 81 percent of Americans.
Morris
Morris’ innovative use of technology was one of the many reasons why GGC selected him to receive the college’s Outstanding Teaching Award. Morris was among more than 60 faculty and staff who were recognized at the 14th annual fall recognition ceremony.
Morris says: “My main motivation is to serve students so that they not only know the academic content, but also so that they’re prepared to live a good life holistically. I think that comes from building mentoring relationships inside and outside of the classroom as well as from delivering the content well.”
Morris produced more than 165 chemistry videos on his YouTube Channel, called “Real Chemistry,” which has, thus far, attracted more than 850,000 views. He also encouraged his students to produce their own videos as a form of experiential learning.
Morris uses his YouTube videos to invert the traditional teaching model into a more interactive style called a flipped classroom. Students watch his videos outside of class in place of a lecture. Then, class time can be used for solving problems with his guidance.
GGC also honored five other faculty members for special awards, which reflect the four core pillars of GGC: Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Creativity.
The additional award recipients included Dr. Binh Tran, associate professor of information technology for Outstanding Faculty Service; Dr. Ellen Rafshoon, professor of history for Outstanding Student Engagement; Dr. Seungjin Lee, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry for Outstanding Scholarship and Creative Activities; Dr. Shoshana Katzman, associate professor of biology for Outstanding Faculty Mentor; and Dr. Walter Biel, part-time faculty for information technology for Outstanding Part-Time Faculty Teaching. Staff members Lisa Schaffer and Leslie Wilson were also recognized for their outstanding service.
Gwinnett Rotarians fund “Be THE Voice” at Kanoheda Elementary
Kanoheda Elementary School Counselor Phoebe Jenkins was so excited when she came across information online about a character-building program founded in Georgia called “Be THE Voice.” She loved how the student-driven format was designed to turn bystanders into upstanders via a series of vibrant videos featuring young social-influencers. The messages of kindness, compassion, and inclusion was just what her diverse student body needed, but the reality was she didn’t have the money in her budget to fund it.
Jenkins was determined to find a way to bring the student-led movement to her school, so she reached out to Debbie Cwalina, Be THE Voice executive director, to see what support might be available to a Title 1 school like hers. As it turned out, Cwalina was a Rotarian and this program was born out of the Roswell Rotary Club.
Cwalina’s first move was to call Brandy Swanson, an assistant district governor and member of the Rotary Club of Gwinnett County. Swanson agreed to lead the charge and reached out to Rotary clubs in Gwinnett. The Rotary Clubs of Buford, North Gwinnett, Duluth, Gwinnett, Lawrenceville, Mosaic, Sugarloaf, and Sunrise were all-in to share the cost, as did the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia. Together they contributed a total of $2,875 to completely cover the school’s Be THE Voice launch kit and T-shirts.
On October 1, 2021, the Be THE Voice movement was launched at Kanoheda Elementary. A joyful Jenkins stood watching as Gwinnett Rotarians flanked the halls offering high fives and words of encouragement to the students. Jenkins said, “I didn’t know anything about Rotary before this started, but I understand now that Rotarians are people of action that truly have a heart for service.”
Throughout this school year all of Kanoheda’s 900+ students will engage in the program in some way. Randy Redner, president and CEO of the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, and a Duluth Rotarian says, “It is going to be exciting to watch this movement unfold. These are our future change makers, activists, and community leaders. Helping our youth find their voice centered around kindness, compassion and inclusion is one of the wisest investments we can make.”

A People’s History of the Civil War by David Williams
From Raleigh C. Perry, Buford: I would not walk across the street if Robert E. Lee was handing out free books that he had written. Most of the books about the Civil War, to me, are boring. It turns out that this is the best book on the Civil War era that I have ever read. It does not deal with battles and is not single-sided, North or South. It is a discussion of the travails that the families of Union and Confederate soldiers had to go through while their sons, brothers, and fathers were at war. Picture a woman with an infant plowing a field, carrying a baby on one hip, while guiding the plow. Also think about the family of a soldier constantly looking at the horizon for their man. It is an incredible book and, surprisingly, it was written by a Professor at Valdosta State College.

Georgia Tech first college in South to integrate without court order
The Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech, is one of the nation’s top technological universities, distinguished by its commitment to improving the human condition through advanced science and technology. Founded in 1885 to help the state move beyond its agrarian roots, Georgia Tech today provides a broad technological education to more than 16,000 undergraduate and graduate students and conducts a $300 million-per-year research program on the cutting edge of engineering, the sciences, computing, and many other disciplines. The school is part of the University System of Georgia.
The Georgia Tech campus occupies 450 acres in the heart of Atlanta, where in fall 2003 more than 800 full-time academic faculty members taught in six colleges. More than 2,800 research faculty and other professionals conduct research and provide technology-based economic development assistance to help advance the state’s economy. In all, Georgia Tech is one of Atlanta’s largest employers, with more than 4,900 faculty and staff. Beyond the Atlanta campus, Georgia Tech also operates programs in Savannah and internationally, in France and Singapore.
Founded in October 1885 with an appropriation of $65,000 in state funds, Georgia Tech opened its doors in October 1888 as the Georgia School of Technology. The initial class of 129 students studied the basics of mechanical engineering. During its first fifty years, Georgia Tech grew from a narrowly focused trade school into a regionally recognized technological university.
In 1906 philanthropist Andrew Carnegie donated $20,000 to build Tech’s first library. The early years of the 20th century also saw the introduction of the yearbook, the Blueprint (1908); the first publication of the student newspaper, the Technique (1911); and the beginning of the Co-op Program (1912), which allows students to gain career-related experience while earning a degree. Degree programs in civil, electrical, chemical, and textile engineering were added during Georgia Tech’s first thirty years, and the legendary John Heisman became the school’s first full-time football coach in 1903.
Reflecting a broadening curriculum and growing focus on science and advanced technology, the school’s name was changed to the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1948.
The postwar era marked the beginning of Georgia Tech’s transformation from a regional engineering college to a nationally and internationally recognized technological university. During this period, encompassing the presidency of Blake Ragsdale Van Leer (1944-56), Georgia Tech began offering an engineering doctoral program. Women students were admitted for the first time in 1952, and in 1961 Georgia Tech became the first major state university in the Deep South to admit African American students without a court order.

“Fish in hand” might be title of this Mystery Photo
This edition’s Mystery Photo is of a sculpture, and note the fish in hand. Now, where is this? And can you tell us the sculptor’s name? Send your answer to elliott@brack.net and include your hometown.
That dramatic recent Mystery Photo was recognized by several people. Lou Camerio of Lilburn was the first in, saying: “This is St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Charleston, S.C. Built in 1839 it was the first Catholic Church in the Carolinas.” And Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill chimed in: ““I knew immediately it was in Charleston and not just because of the palm trees.” The photo came from Rob Ponder of Duluth.
The other old regulars, George Graf of Palmyra, Va. and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. also spotted it.
Peel wrote: “Today’s mystery photo is of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, located at 95 Hasell Street in the middle of Charleston’s bustling and historic district. Built in 1839, this church is actually the third structure at this site as well as the third church used by the St. Mary of the Annunciation parish, which was founded in 1788, making it the very first Roman Catholic Parish to serve its congregation in the Carolinas and Georgia.”
