GWINNETT’S PARK SYSTEM has become nationally accredited for the first time. (See story in Notable.) There are 47 county parks within its borders. One of its many parks where you can wander for quite a while is at Little Mulberry Park near Auburn. It covers 890 acres, has a 5.5 mile paved multi-purpose trail and soft surface trails for horses or hiking. It is also a park with one of the highest elevations in the county, at 1,206 feet. It’s a great place to wander, either alone, with your dog, or on a bike.

Considering the Supreme Court and its recent decisions
U.S. Supreme Court
By Ashley Herndon
OCEANSIDE, Calif. | Our Supreme Court SMOTE us with various verdicts this summer. With each, another nail hit the coffin of our democracy. The attack was led and controlled by the ultraconservative theocratic religious right. If you do not feel helpless in halting this fast-moving train wreck, then “you just might be one.”
Herndon
Eddie Tabash, a knowledgeable attorney and board member of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, advises how to neutralize the Supreme Court is simple…not easy but simple:
“Encourage more people to vote, most of whom have no interest in a theocracy. The majority of our country is no longer affiliated with the religious right. Convince these voters that their/our freedom is in the balance. Every vote is extremely important … or they could live in a country run by ultraconservative, unyielding un-Christian laws.”
Let the courts know that no form of abortion would be acceptable. Supporting abortion will invite prison and/or fines.
Here are other thoughts that could happen if the courts are not stopped from making laws:
- Marriage between a man and a woman…only!
- Gay and transgender people could be imprisoned or executed.
- Women may not be allowed positions of leadership and must be submissive to men.
- Children must be obedient to their fathers or be institutionalized.
- Enforced specific Christian only prayers could be instituted in all schools, before all public meetings, and maybe even before private ones.
- All stores, businesses, sporting events, and entertainment venues will be closed on Sunday.
- Other religions and many mainstream Christian denominations would not be tolerated.
- Books, movies, and television shows would be censured.
- Police could arrest non compliers with authoritarian theocracy with exposure to prison/fines.
- There would be restricted travel for nonbelievers, both leaving and entering the country.
- Neighbors, friends, and families would be encouraged and rewarded for turning in those who do not comply. {Stalinist betrayals}
- Immigration would be severely limited.
Doesn’t this sound like Brave New World?
By the way, this is just the start if the crowd that doesn’t respect democracy comes to power!
If one thinks this is not possible, tune in to Iran, China, Russia, Egypt, Hungary, Uganda, or the other 40 or so dictatorships currently active on our planet.
Tabash suggests SCOTUS could be neutralized ‘simply by voting for the right people,’ locally, since our Supreme Court has power only because Congress gives it to them to interpret the law. Congress needs to resolve issues and ratify equitable laws.
What should you do: vote only for people who believe the following:
- Liberty and justice is for all. Do not let the judicial system make laws.
- Women should have absolute control of themselves and their bodies.
- There is a codified total separation between the church and the state.
- Revamp the immigration system.
- Recognize the LGBTQIA+ community has all the rights and privileges of every other citizen.
All this can take place at the polls if the electorate understands the problems we are facing.
Your job, therefore, is to make others aware of these problems, and act at the polls.
Atlanta sports fans after last weekend have big smiles
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
OCT. 4, 2022 | It was an unbelievable weekend for sports fans in Atlanta.
The most unlikely of all was the Atlanta Braves sweeping the New York Mets to take a two-game lead in the National League East, and move toward their fifth straight division title. Now the Braves face three games in Miami to end the regular season, with them odds-on favorites to take the title, and get a first round bye in the playoffs.
But almost as unbelievable was the Georgia Tech football team’s upset over Pittsburgh, 26-21. The Engineers led the entire game, and convincingly won their game. Two late Pitt touchdowns made it look closer. Coming just after Tech fired Coach Geoff Collins, it showed that the firing was the move Tech should have made long ago. The Yellow Jackets looked like an entirely different team under interim coach Brent Key. Tech is now 2-3, while Pittsburgh is 3-1.
Then as we went to bed Saturday night, the Georgia Bulldogs were losing convincingly to the University of Missouri in Columbia, 16-6. And the score at the start of the fourth quarter was 22-12, in favor of Missouri. Obviously, the number one Bulldogs had a formidable opponent.
Then on arising Sunday, lo and behold: Number One Georgia had finally awakened in the last quarter, pulling off a 26-22 victory over Missouri. Stetson Bennett and his teammates had done it again! Georgia fans suddenly were giddy in victory, after it looked mighty bad for most of the game, with the Bulldogs still undefeated.
However, on Monday the Bulldog fans found that the come-from-behind game cost the Georgia team in another way: Alabama had regained the lead in the college football standings, with Georgia now ranked No. 2. Though Arkansas had given the Crimson Tide a good game, the final score was (49-26 ) strong enough for Alabama to get ranked higher than Georgia.
Atlanta football fans also saw another Atlanta team score a victory. Georgia State went to West Point and thoroughly licked Army, 31-14 for their first victory of the season. So far this year their record is only 1-4. Georgia State football has become progressively stronger in the last few years, with bowl games becoming on the Panther fans’ mind more and more. But they have a slow start this year.
Two other Georgia teams lost this weekend. Georgia Southern, upset victor over once-mighty Nebraska in Lincoln a few weeks back, fell to Coastal Carolina, 34-30. And the always tough Kennesaw State lost by one touchdown to Jacksonville State, 34-28. Georgia Southern’s record for 2022 is 3-2, while Kennesaw so far is 1-3.
One more game of local interest: coming-on strong Mercer beat long-time rival Wofford in a road game by a whopping 42-7. The Bears of Macon have a 4-1 record, losing only to Auburn. Of their four games, they have scored readily, their closest victory being 17-0 over The Citadel.
As for the other Georgia teams next weekend:
- Georgia faces Auburn (3-2) in Athens.
- Georgia Tech plays Duke (4-1) in Atlanta. Duke’s only loss was a 35-27 loss to undefeated Kansas in Lawrence.
- Georgia State hosts Georgia Southern in Atlanta. Georgia State leads 5-3 in games between the football teams.
- Kennesaw faces North Alabama at home.
- Mercer plays Western Carolina in Macon.
With cooler weather in the air, football in Atlanta is going strong.
And again, “How ‘bout them Braves!”

Gwinnett County park system wins national accreditation
For the first time in its history, Gwinnett County has joined the ranks of elite park and recreation agencies across the country. The county earned accreditation through the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) and the National Recreation and Park Association.
Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson says: “Earning this accreditation is a mark of distinction that reasserts our commitment to providing the highest quality services to our residents. I’m proud of our dedicated Parks and Recreation staff, who work daily to provide fun, safe and healthy recreational opportunities to nearly a million residents.”
CAPRA measures an agency’s overall quality of operation, management and service to the community. The accreditation indicates an agency has met rigorous standards related to the management and administration of lands, facilities, resources, programs, safety and services.
Parks Division Director Chris Minor adds: “CAPRA accreditation signals to our residents and stakeholders that Gwinnett Parks and Recreation is among the best of the best in our field. We have the best staff using the best practices to provide superior services to our residents and visitors.”

Domestic Work by Natasha Trethewey
From Susan J. Harris, Stone Mountain: Domestic Work by Natasha Trethewey takes the reader deep into the soul of undervalued work that is both nurturing and suffocating. Still, she breathes life and beauty into the scenes that describe basic tasks like hanging laundry, dressing hair, rolling coins to save for insurance premiums, washing windows, beating out rugs and other under-recognized tasks. In one poem she paints an affecting picture through the ‘Hot Combs,’ which depicts how black people straighten their hair with hot instruments and pomades designed to make one acceptable within the culture. Luminous, stark, and filled with understanding of domestic work, Trethewey has again opened a window into a world that brims with community and hope.

Hurricane of 1893 makes landfall south of Tybee Island
One of the deadliest hurricanes in American history made landfall south of Tybee Island near Savannah on August 27, 1893. Now known as the 1893 Sea Island Hurricane, the storm had winds as high as 120 mph and a sixteen-foot storm surge—the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane on the modern-day Saffir-Simpson scale. The storm devastated the barrier islands of Georgia and South Carolina, killing over 2,000 people and leaving more than 30,000 homeless.
Coastal communities were spared serious damage when a hurricane brushed past the Georgia and South Carolina coasts on August 23, 1893. But their relief would be short-lived. Reports on Friday, August 25, indicated that another hurricane had been sighted 500 miles southeast of Florida and by Saturday, the Weather Bureau had reported swelling at Savannah. Word of the approaching storm spread through Savannah, Charleston, and surrounding coastal towns by telegraph, word-of-mouth, and in some instances, by a new technology called the telephone.
Unfortunately, not all communities received the warnings. Home to more than 30,000 African Americans who farmed, worked in rice fields, and plied nearby waters for fish, oysters, shrimp, and crabs, the Sea Islands were accessible only by boat. Their remote location allowed for the preservation of the unique Gullah and Geechee culture, but limited communication with the mainland—a fact that would carry dire consequences for residents unprepared for the coming storm
Rain began to fall Saturday night, but by Sunday morning there was a lull in the storm. Locals hoped the worst had passed; some even went to church. Rains lashed the coast again that afternoon, however, and by 2:30 p.m., sections of rail from Savannah to Tybee were buried under sand. Further north, Charleston’s streets were under three to five feet of water, with levels reaching up to ten feet overnight. The city’s electrical infrastructure began to fail and by 3 p.m. the Western Union telegraph office was offline. The last message: “Sullivan’s Island has been swept over by a tidal wave and is completely submerged.”
On Monday morning, the storm began to pass and residents were able to assess the damage. Buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure were demolished up and down the Georgia and South Carolina coasts. The rail lines from Savannah to Tybee were uprooted and mangled. The Savannah Press described structures in a state of utter disrepair, with “roofs of tin peeled off like paper strips.” Ships were wrecked at Savannah, and a schooner washed ashore on Jekyll Island.
It would be another day or two before coastal communities would fully comprehend the devastation as the death toll rose from the single digits to more than 2,000. With telegraph lines still down and most of the bridges and boats demolished, news of the destruction on the low-lying barrier islands began to reach the mainland. Bodies of drowning victims washed up on beaches and were found strewn throughout marshes and in creeks and streams throughout the Georgia and South Carolina Lowcountry. Nearly every building on the Sea Islands was reported to have been destroyed.
In addition to the loss of homes, people who relied on agriculture for income found their livelihoods wiped out. Clara Barton and her fledgling organization, the Red Cross, set up a post on the South Carolina coast two months later and began coordinating relief efforts and soliciting donations for residents who were without potable water and threatened by starvation and disease. Racial tensions flared as white mainlanders complained that Black residents on the barrier islands, who were the hardest hit, were getting most of the assistance. It would take residents and relief workers nearly ten months to restore housing and food supplies to the Sea Islands. Economic recovery would take decades longer.
At the time, the Sea Islands hurricane was the most destructive natural disaster in U.S. history, and it remains the deadliest storm to make landfall in Georgia. The state would not experience another direct hit by a hurricane for five years, when a Category 4 storm struck Brunswick, churning a path of destruction across Sapelo and St. Simons islands and inland communities.

Allen Peel of San Antonio, Tex. easily spotted the recent mystery. He wrote: “Today’s mystery photo is a shot of the main entrance to the Buford Community Center located at 2200 Buford Highway in Buford. The facility bills itself as ‘Gwinnett’s premiere banquet and meeting space, performing arts theatre, and outdoor amphitheater and plaza.’ It has four distinct venues that include:
- The Conference and Banquet Center, with more than 5,700 square feet of banquet and meeting space.
- The Sylvia Beard Theatre, a 274 seat stage theatre, which is equipped with state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems and features a variety of theatrical performances, orchestral presentations, ballet, comedy shows, movie screenings and more.
- The Buford Community Center Town Park Amphitheater, an outdoor amphitheatre that can seat up to 1,800 people, and
- The Buford Museum, located on the ground floor of the Buford Community Center and home to a collection of artifacts, photographs and antiques dating back to the area’s earliest known residents, the Native Americans. “
The photo was taken by George Graf of Palmyra, Va. Others recognizing the photo were Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Charles Anderson, Lawrenceville; Lou Cameiro, Lilburn; Tim Sullivan, Buford; and Bob Foreman, Grayson.
