TODAY’S FOCUS

Georgia works well with “slow and steady” energy growth

By Tim Echols, member, Georgia Public Service Commission 

HOSCHTON, Ga.  |  If ever there is a weekend when “fantasy” dominates, it was Labor Day weekend in Atlanta.  Tens of thousands who play Fantasy Football, including me, were drafting their fantasy teams.  It is estimated that almost 57 million people play across the nation.  Another 70,000 people crammed into five downtown hotels to play another kind of fantasy, cosplay, or dress up as characters from movies, shows, comics and television, at the annual Dragon Con event, which I also attended with my daughter.  To my surprise, I learned a little about the energy world through both experiences.

Echols

My day job is being an elected energy regulator here in Georgia, along with four colleagues.  We are elected statewide across Georgia to regulate monopolies, set rates, do grid planning, and make sure that our state has the utility infrastructure it needs for decades to come.  

Let’s start with “Energy Fantasy.”  There are those who feel like we can run this state on solar and wind and close all fossil plants.  As much as I love green energy, that is fantasy.  I have solar on my house, but its superpowers are limited. Baseload power plants, like the new Vogtle nuclear unit, are critical to a connected future. These plants are there, 24/7, working for you, with men and women wearing hard hats instead of capes.  And we are going to need more baseload plants if people keep coming to our state.  

“Energy Reality” in Georgia meant doing something no other state was willing to do—building a new nuclear plant. The two new units at Plant Vogtle power one million homes and businesses and allow us to keep the economic development door open.  Believe it or not, other states are having to say “no” to large energy loads, and as a result, Georgia is getting some of those.

There are plenty of states in America where supplying a car factory with energy is pure fantasy, and something they can only do in the distant future.  Georgia, however, was ready and the result is billions of dollars flowing into our state.

Yet even with this growth, Georgia has been slowly making great progress at cleaning our environment, adding carbon-free resources, all the while keeping our rates below the national average.  That combination is real and has played a role in attracting new businesses to our state and making our state affordable.

The “slow and steady” approach of my colleagues has put Georgia in a good place:  fourth in the Nation in Solar, the ONLY state to build new nuclear in three decades, a leader in electric vehicle rate design, and electric capacity for growth when other states are saying no.  But we also have had the backing of the Legislature, our Governor, the Chamber, and you, our fellow citizens.  The Electric Membership Cooperatives (EMCs), the Municipal Utilities (MEAG) and even our home-grown solar developers are working together to make the systems work smarter and more efficiently.  They deserve credit too. 

On hot afternoons, California mayors in Los Angeles and San Francisco beg people to conserve power, postpone laundry and delay charging their cars.  That is a reality we don’t have in Georgia.  Our grid has a 26 percent reserve margin, and your electric rates allow us to replace aging equipment and build new lines

Lest we get too confident, we must always be open to new technologies, new paradigms, and great ideas.  Georgia is a great place to live, and our doors are open.

Surprise 80th party for famed restaurateur, Kurt Eisele

SEPT. 12, 2023  |  Years ago, birthday parties for kids and the elderly were more common. With more reaching 75, 80 and 90 years today, it seems fewer of them are being honored with family bashes.

Sunday night, Duluth restaurateur Kurt Eisele was the guest of honor for the marking of his 80th birthday.  It was a surprise for him, as his family was working with the  Atlanta chefs’ organization to get him to what was supposed to be a routine meeting at the Carter Center. Some 120 guests burst out with “Surprise!” as black-tied  Kurt and his wife, Vreny, in a long gown, walked into the room.

What a party! Never have we seen such. The Eisele family made the 3:45 p.m. hour event a night to remember, pulling out all the stops: an elegant nine course meal, a continuing video about Kurt between courses, entertainment by the Voices of Notes and comedian Jerry Farber, plus plenty of German themes in food and entertainment! It was terrific.

Kurt and Vreny arrive at party, surprised.

Chefs of Atlanta, many trained by Kurt, prepared the different courses. They included sushi; followed by escargot; chilled shrimp, crab, poached peach and brandy appetizer; Black Forest braised beef short ribs; bouillabaisse; fruit sorbet; loin of prime rib; cheese plate; and a dessert of almond cake with fruit and honey cream. Talk about exquisite and good! 

The program told of Kurt’s many steps on the way to his outstanding German restaurant, Kurt’s European Bistro, located at 3305 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Duluth.

That’s a long way from him being born in the height of World War II in Stuttgart in 1943, as one of six children. Kurt at first wanted to become a mechanic, but his father convinced him that working in hospitality was better. So his work path began in an apprenticeship, first in Germany, and later in Switzerland, where he met his wife, Vreny. 

Kurt came to Atlanta in 1965, followed by Vreny shortly afterward, and they were married. He began to go quickly up the restaurant ladder. He was on the staff of several restaurants, including Chateau Fleur de Lis in Atlanta and Sea Pines at Hilton Head. (He also spent three years as a meat cutter in the U.S. Army at Fort McClellan, Ala.) Then he was at several Atlanta high-quality restaurants, first at the Farm, then the Red Bain Inn and the Old Spaghetti Mill. It was 1978 when the Standard Club made him executive chef. That was followed by an eight-year tenure with the Atlanta Athletic Club.

December 2, 1985, was a significant day: Kurt opened his own restaurant on Peachtree Parkway, luring many of his Athletic Club friends to the more casual German restaurant. Four years later, Scott Hudgens got him to move to the River Manor Club in Duluth (behind the current Agco headquarters.)  Finally, after some rough years of the recession, he opened at his present location on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. This year marks another new milestone, as Kurt’s Restaurant merged with its more casual, Vreny’s Biergarten, to create one identity while maintaining the restaurants’ high standards of quality and service as Gwinnett’s premier dining establishment.

Besides being involved with his vocation, Kurt also has been past president of the American Culinary Federation-Georgia chapter, as well as a past member of the Chaine, the Rottisseurs, and the Academy of Chefs. The restaurant bearing his name has been honored numerous times in “best of” categories as well as its continuous involvement in the community.

Congratulations, Kurt, on your success and your birthday! Great chefing for us all. And what a stunning 80th birthday party!

Remembering a vacation to Hawaii years ago

Diamond Head in Hawaii; via Wikipedia.

(Editor’s note: Roving Photographer Frank Sharp has fresh in his mind a trip years ago to the 50th state of Hawaii. –eeb)

By Frank Sharp

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga.  |  After eight hours and 40 minutes in the air, our nonstop flight from Atlanta to Hawaii finally landed at Honolulu International Airport!

Sharp

We retrieved our luggage, hailed a taxi and headed for the white sands on Waikiki Beach with its miles and miles of restaurants and stores.  We made our way to our apartment on the second floor, a walk-up – no elevator here!  After flying all night, I was tired; it was only about 8 a.m. there since we gained six hours of time flying westward.

We took a hotel van to Diamond Head, which overlooks the whole city.  I turned on my camcorder toward our driver, who was also an excellent tour guide, as he began his narration. After a short drive, we finally reached a tunnel leading inside the mountain.  You see, Diamond Head is an extinct volcano, 

There’s a state park and military installation inside.  The area is called Diamond Head since the Marines stationed there used to climb it for recreation and thought the glittering stones they saw on the mountainside were diamonds, but later found to be calcite deposits.

Polynesian dancing.

My late wife, Pearl, and her Mom waited patiently on me while I followed the zigzag trail along with all the other tourists; many people were climbing. I had forgotten that the guidebooks had said to bring water!  Getting thirsty and thirstier as I inched my way up the cliffs, I finally asked in jest, a tourist coming down how far was it to the concession stand. Surprisingly, nice-looking Japanese lady behind me overhead me and had opened a Thermos with cold water to pour into a cup for me! Those Japanese certainly come prepared !  After receiving this bit of fortitude, I made it to the lookout for a splendid panoramic view of the harbor.

Our guide brought up that there was one bird that wasn’t allowed on the island  by law — the hummingbird!  If the hummingbird was on Hawaii, it would cross-pollinate the pineapple, causing it to have seeds, which the producers don’t want. We never saw any hummingbirds on the islands.  All luggage arriving or leaving must pass an inspection by the U. S.  Department of Agriculture to keep out unwanted products…and hummingbirds!

We passed one stretch of highway where the movie Jurassic Park was made.  On another day, after a 30-minute flight, we landed on this golden island of Maui years before the horrible fires of recent days. We jumped into our rental car and headed up the twisting road by the coast. The views were spectacular and breathtaking, to say the least. We skipped all the shops on Maui and took in all the great views by the coast.

Among my best remembrances of the island are these: 

  1. Polynesian village show;
  2. View of Pacific and beach from Māui;
  3. USS Arizona Memorial;
  4. Polynesian Cultural Center; and
  5. Dole Plantation.

All too soon we boarded the plane to return home. It was a great feeling to be back in the mainland!

FEEDBACK

Ways to determine if an email is from a scammer

Editor, the Forum: 

Here are some additional thoughts about scammers-

An easy way to determine if an email is a scam is to check the sender’s address. Some email programs will show the sender’s address with the message in the Inbox. If it doesn’t, you can hit “Reply” and the address will be on the “To” line. Delete after you see the address.

Read the address carefully. In many cases, scammers will mimic a legitimate address. As an example, if you received an email about your Amazon account, the scammer’s address might be orders@amazonusa.com. or “customerservice@amazom.com.  At first glance, both addresses may look legit, but they are both fake, so your next step is to hit “Delete.”

NEVER click on a link unless you’re absolutely sure the email is legitimate. Even if it is, a better plan is to open a new window in your browser, type in the company’s web site address (or use the one you have stored in your browser or password manager program) and sign into your account. If there’s a legitimate issue, you’ll find it there. If an email with a link is from a friend and you’re suspicious, hit “Reply”, or call or text your friend to find out if the email is legitimate.

Also be aware that scammers are active on social media and take similar precautions..

Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life by George Elliot

From Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill: The year is 1829. In England, reform is in the air. Brits still remember the American colonies taking up arms against them and the bloody revolution in France. But can British reform come without bloodshed? It is into this atmosphere of a country teetering on the brink of major social change that author George Elliot sets her classic novel. The fictional town of Middlemarch is a close-knit community where most people are related to each other and the class system is strictly adhered to. The story begins when a young doctor full of new ideas arrives to create a hospital and discover the cure for typhoid fever. Story lines involving country squires, society ladies, farm managers and a rich banker all interconnect. The subtle plots are rich in hypocrisy, duty, foibles, culture clashes, naive expectations and disappointments. It’s truly a window into British life just before a major turning point.

GEORGIA TIDBIT

Georgia railroads financially sound, dominated by two lines

A declining passenger business, however, was a small part of the Georgia railroads’ decline; they continued to lose the much-larger freight business to trucks, and they could not attract the capital investment to maintain thousands of miles of lightly used track. The Staggers Rail Act of 1980 extensively deregulated the railroads and put them on a stronger financial footing, but it led to the abandonment of hundreds of railroad miles, including tracks that had once served as main lines. 

Today,  most railroads are financially sound, but there are many fewer than before. In Georgia, most freight traffic is carried by only two: CSX (successor to ACL and Seaboard) and Norfolk Southern (successor to Southern Railway and Central of Georgia). Twenty-three short lines serve as local feeders to the main lines. Passenger service, which never disappeared entirely, is available on two Amtrak routes. One route, known as the Crescent, runs from New York to Washington, D.C., through north Georgia and Atlanta and on to New Orleans, Louisiana. The other runs from New York to the Georgia coast and on to Florida.

A great  many Georgia cities and towns, including Alamo, Baxley, Bremen, College Park, Cornelia, ManchesterMillenPembroke, Smyrna, Soperton, Waycross, and Winterville, owe their existence to the railroads. The growth in the number of towns engendered by the railroads was due in part to the steam trains’ need to stop frequently for water (to be converted into steam) and fuel (first wood, later coal). 

Once the railroads came through an area, towns grew up along them, frequently at points where trains would stop for water and fuel. A depot would be built and businesses would locate nearby to take advantage of the concentration of potential customers. Other businesses would be established to provide such services as lodging, saloons, livery stables, blacksmiths, warehouses, and milling. Eventually a town or city would develop.

Often a city would be incorporated with its boundaries legally defined as a circle with the railroad depot in the center. For instance, the boundaries of Dalton were defined as one mile in every direction from the depot.

In several cases county seats were moved to be on the railroad. In Lowndes County the seat was moved from Troupville to Valdosta, a new town on the Atlantic and Gulf. In Fannin County the seat was moved from Morganton to Blue Ridge, a new town on the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad. In Bartow County the seat moved from Cassville to Cartersville, and in Jones County the seat moved from Clinton to Gray. In other cases the county seat remained off the railroad while a larger town developed on the rail line, as was the case in Crawford County, where the new railroad town of Roberta grew to surpass the seat, Knoxville, in size.

Today, railroads are a major part of Georgia’s freight infrastructure. The port of Savannah—the fourth busiest container port in the country in 2015—and the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport both depend on Georgia’s interstates and railroads to ship goods into the interior of the country. By 2014 CSX, one of the two largest rail operators in the state, had handled more than 1.9 million carloads of freight in Georgia and was operating nearly 27,000 miles of track.

Here’s another wooden bridge for you to identify

Besides lighthouses, another favorite for Mystery Photos is wooden bridges. Here’s another. Your job is to identify where this bridge is located, and tell us something about this bridge.  Send your guess to elliott@brack.net, to include your hometown.

The most recent Mystery Photo was of Bigfoot, as George Graf of Palmyra, Va. told us: “This is at the Sasquatch Museum in the unincorporated community of Cherry Log, Ga. (pop. 99) a bit south of Blue Ridge, Ga.  Next door to the mystery location is the Georgia Pinball Museum, which is a place I would really like to visit.  Our son Scott used to have a big collection of pinball machines at his home and it takes me back to my days of playing those machines at local bars and restaurants.”  The photo came from Cindy Evans of Duluth. 

Others recognizing the photo included Ruthy Lachman Paul, Norcross; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex.
