See how solar energy can reduce your electric bill
By Don Moreland
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. | Notice anything about your electricity bill lately? Has it gone up in recent months?
Moreland
That’s because electricity rates are going up and more rate hikes are on the way. In fact, in 2022 Georgia ranked as the fourth most expensive state for electricity, and with Plant Vogtle coming online, rates are expected to increase over 40 percent by 2025.
We are also using more electricity than ever before. According to the Energy Information Administration, in 2022, retail electricity sales to the residential sector were about 3.5 percent higher than in 2021. We know this to be true because we are using more electronic devices in our everyday lives, switching to electric appliances, adopting electric vehicles, and using more electricity at home to keep us cool in the hot summer months.
While rates are going up and we are using more electricity, it’s no surprise that more Gwinnetians are looking for alternatives to how they generate and consume electricity.
Solar energy has become one such alternative. Because the cost of solar has come down so far in the past decade, for the first time since the light bulb was invented over 140 years ago, we are now able to generate our own electricity, on our own property, using our own resources (the sun), and do so for less than what it costs from the utility.
But how do you know how to choose a good solar panel or a good contractor? What is a good price, what are the warranties, and how do I know this is actually going to work and save me money?
Solarize Gwinnett is a community-based group purchasing campaign that makes going solar easier and more affordable than ever before. Through a competitive bid process campaign organizers have already vetted the contractor, equipment, and pricing so you don’t have to. The result is a high-quality solar energy system at the lowest possible price.
The program led by a coalition of local community organizations is designed to help homeowners, businesses and nonprofits in Gwinnett become more resilient and reduce their energy expenses. Saving on the cost of renewable-energy systems by obtaining volume discounts on materials and installation services is the intent of the countywide initiative.
Home and business owners have a limited time to access the special prices made available through the campaign. Valuable federal tax credits are also available and can provide significant additional savings in 2023. To make it simple for Gwinnett County residents to quickly learn more about the benefits of solar energy as well as the group purchasing concept, there are online resources available here.
Rather than “renting” our electricity and paying a never-ending bill, month after month, for the rest of our lives, Gwinnettians are now able to invest in solar energy, get a return on our investment, save thousands of dollars, and become more energy independent at the same time.
Further, solar works as a hedge against rate hikes because the source of the electricity generated, the sun, is free and solar requires very little maintenance over its 25-year warranted life span.
Solarize Gwinnett makes exploring solar as an option easy and more affordable. Homeowners and business owners in Gwinnett County are invited to sign up for a free evaluation at SolarizeGwinnett.com.

This and that in sports and the Curse of the Bambino
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
OCT. 10, 2023 | Trivia question today especially for Boston Red Sox fans: besides being famous for allowing a ground ball through his legs in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series against the New York Mets in Shea Stadium, what other major baseball feat is Bill Buckner associated with? A hint: it has to do with Atlanta.
Diehard Bosox baseball fans moaned Buckner’s boner, saying it was another Curse of the Bambino, referring to the Red Sox owner Harry Frazee in 1919 trading Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees. Ever since, the Red Sox, no matter how good their record, had never previously won a World Series, because of this Curse, until 2004.
Bill Buckner played 21 seasons in the major leagues. He had 2,715 hits, more than Ted Williams or Mickey Mantle. He had more runs batted in (1,208) than Hack Wilson or George Sisler. His lifetime batting average was .289. Yet in his obituary in the Sporting News read: “…missed a grounder in the Series.”
The answer: Buckner was the player for the Los Angeles Dodgers in left field in 1974 when Hank Aaron hit home run number 715, watching Aaron’s hit fly over his head into the Braves’ bullpen. As sports writer Dan Shaughnessy wrote: “We won’t try to establish that Ruth cursed Buckner for not catching Aaron’s record breaker. It’s just interesting that Brucker was there, just as he was there when the Sox suffered the worst of their tragic moments.”
Jackie Bradford of Duluth writes: “Several have expressed an interest in my grandson’s schedule at Northwestern. Blake Preston, my oldest grandson, is on Northwestern’s men’s basketball team. He is a graduate transfer from Liberty University. This is his last varsity year.”
Blake’s parents are Renee and Ryan Preston of Charlotte, N.C. Blake follows his grandfather Jackie in height, being 6 foot 10 inches tall. He played high school ball at Charlotte Christian school. Jackie says his grandson wants to play pro basketball overseas for a couple of years. He is married to a volleyball player at Liberty and they want to travel abroad while young. “The late Tom Cape of Norcross helped his dad get to Charlotte and get started in business. I was life- coaching Tom’s son, John, in basketball and he returned the favor with Ryan.”
More baseball: Minor League Baseball has announced today the Triple-A All-Star teams for 2023. In a vote of league managers, Gwinnett Stripers right-hander Allan Winans was selected as one of four pitchers of the International League All-Star team.
The 28-year-old Winans was 9-4 with a league-best 2.85 ERA in 23 games (17 starts) during his second season with the Stripers, becoming the third pitcher in Gwinnett history to win an International League ERA title (joining Bryse Wilson in 2021). He is the 13th player in Gwinnett history to be selected to an IL Postseason All-Star Team overall.
Is this baseball? Gwinnett has been announced as a stop next year for the “World Tour” of the Savannah Bananas, the entertainment model that is a version of baseball as it has never been played before. The Bananas will have three dates at Coolray Field in Lawrenceville, on March 22, 23, 24, 2024. This zany way to use baseball as entertainment will probably draw many fans, as the Bananas usually sell out the capacity of stadiums, so if you want tickets, buy them now.

It’s going to take all of us to “get ‘er done”
By Ashley Herndon
OCEANSIDE, Calif. | Last month, Donald Trump was arrested in my home state of Georgia … his fourth indictment in 2023 alone. This one based on his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Herndon
We all remember the period following the November 2020 election where the defeated ‘occupant’, and his allies took multitudinous illegal and immoral actions, including trying to intimidate Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State, into overturning the duly certified Georgia results with bald-faced lies. That was not bravery or righteous, it was illegal, and the trials will most likely prove it. One of the defendants has already pleaded guilty, and we can most likely see more ‘fess up.
This is a deeply disappointing moment for the (our) country. When we look back, it is hard to fathom just how close we were to a total collapse of our democracy and constitutional rights – led by a losing former president, behaving like a spoiled child.
The criminal justice system will deal with Trump and his allies and toadies. However, whether one supports his heinous acts or not, the undeniable fact is, our democracy is under attack more than at any point in our nation’s history and is comparable to the greed hate that led to the Civil War.
Study and compare the national security of other countries in comparison to ours … select a period of 10 or 12 years when they were extremely polarized and their politics were a mess. They couldn’t get anything worthwhile accomplished. Now, sadly, our United States is in one of those periods – a decade of instability leading ultimately to a completely frozen House, with many members swearing to denude our children and seniors of their protections and many of the ‘others.’ How does a speaker of the US House get run off? How sad it is that the now “Gone Old Party” can only offer radical firebrands to replace him?
We will get through this, but in order to, we all must do a better job of protecting our rights as citizens, and returning civility around our country. And that begins with paying attention and working to elect honest and principled leaders who will safeguard the rights of ALL Americans. We need leaders who will organize and do a better job of laying out a strategy for protecting our most fundamental rights, our democratic institutions as granted in “The” Constitution. If necessary, re-read both of our founding documents’ preambles as a refresher.
As we think about today and the coming days, our history is in our own hands…not theirs. It is hard to overstate the importance of all 2024 races. Is there an open seat or a wobbly seat in a notorious swing state or district that could decide who controls the White House and Congress?
We must never stop fighting for honest and principled elected people that are leaders, not bullies and degenerates. Leaders deserve the position, so don’t buy it to misuse it.
We have a battle ahead. It’s going to take all of us working together to get ‘er done!

County stamps approval of long-range transit plan
The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners have approved the $17 billion Transit Development Plan, (TDP) in anticipation of the county’s recent spike in population and economic growth.
The plan was developed over an 18-month period from 2022 to 2023 using the community’s feedback as the catalyst for its recommendations. The TDP evaluated changing transportation demands, considered significant population growth, and aligned transit services and infrastructure investments with the county’s identified priorities and needs.
Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson says: “This transformative plan benefits everyone by improving and expanding multimodal transportation services countywide,” said. It charts an intentional path forward while paving the way for a more prosperous future, providing convenient transit alternatives for our residents and reducing congestion on our roads.”
The new plan encompasses a comprehensive network that covers 100 percent of Gwinnett County with shared ride services. The plan also comprises a multi-faceted approach that includes the introduction of Local Ride, Quick Ride, Rapid Ride and Airport Ride networks to connect areas seamlessly within the county and to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Gwinnett DOT Director Lewis Cooksey says: “By embracing innovative ways to reimagine our local transit service and enhance connectivity to the greater Atlanta region, the adopted TDP creates a clear road ahead for a more efficient, accessible, reliable and environmentally friendly transportation option in Gwinnett County. This TDP puts the focus on providing mobility for all by thoughtfully leveraging the best transit modes to adequately meet the varying needs of each of our communities.”
Some of the recommendations outlined in the TDP include:
- Expanding Ride Gwinnett to seven days a week.
- Adding high-capacity transit along the County’s busiest corridors.
- Building out 500 miles of convenient and frequent fixed routes.
Annandale surpasses $6 million capital campaign
Annandale Village of Suwanee says that its ambitious Campaign Annandale capital campaign, which will revitalize and build a new Program Center on campus, has not only achieved but surpassed its $6 million goal.
Annandale Village President and CEO Adam Pomeranz says: “Because of their generosity, the Villagers will have a brand new, state-of-the-art Program Center where they can pursue their independence and realize their life goals.”
Annandale Village is the only nonprofit in the southeast providing a full continuum of care for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and acquired brain injuries. From independent and semi-independent housing through assisted living and skilled nursing care, Annandale offers hope and independence to the amazing individuals who make up our community.
The original fundraising goal for the new Program Center was $5 million which would have been sufficient to complete the project at the time; however, due to record inflation and rising material and labor costs, the total project cost climbed to $7 million. Therefore, Annandale Village increased its fundraising goal to $6 million with plans to finance the remaining balance. Due to the excitement Campaign Annandale has generated, Annandale Village is still receiving donations above the $6 million goal to reduce the amount that must be borrowed as construction begins.

Mercer Law School, oldest in the South, marks 150 years
Mercer University’s Law School over its 150-year history has made an indelible mark on Georgia and legal education. It was one of the first law schools to be established in the South — just two years after Mercer University moved to Macon from Penfield in 1871.
Today, there are Mercer Law alumni in all 50 states and many other countries around the globe. Virtually every town and city in Georgia has a Mercer attorney or judge, manifesting the school’s 150-year reputation of preparing practice-ready lawyers, community leaders and public servants.
The Law School started with seven students and the three part-time professors who had won approval from Mercer’s trustees to start a law school. The founders and early faculty were models of lawyers’ involvement and leadership in the larger community.
Today that focus on skillful legal practice has taken Mercer to the 2023 national championship in moot court (appellate advocacy) and a narrow loss to UCLA in the 2023 national trial competition. Overall, Mercer is ranked fourth in the nation in National Trial Advocacy, behind UCLA but still ahead of Harvard.
Dean Karen J. Sneddon as she prepared for the school’s celebration of 150 years on October 13, says: “For 150 years the Law School has really focused on preparing students for practice and has not lost sight of that, even as we have grown and changed.”
Gwinnett Tech hits record enrollment at 9,800
Gwinnett Technical College has recorded the highest enrollment numbers in the College’s 39-year history. More than 9,800 students across the region are drawn to the classrooms at Gwinnett Tech for exciting educational programs and career opportunities.
The 2023 Fall semester has recorded a 16 percent boost in enrollment over a year ago. These numbers do not include the later fall mini-mester (term C) enrollment figures expected in early November. This past spring, the College saw a 9% jump in enrollment over the previous spring.
Dr. D. Glen Cannon, President of Gwinnett Tech, attributes this surge in enrollment to a few key factors:
- Opening the new Computer Information Systems, Cybersecurity, and Emerging Technologies Building and the renovation of Building A/100.
- A dramatic increase in students transferring to Gwinnett Tech from traditional four-year colleges to get the direct, hands-on skill sets needed in this global work environment.
- An increased awareness about programs and support services for veterans and their families, ranked fifth in the nation by Military Friendly.
Why Don’t You Write My Eulogy Now So I can Correct It
by Patricia Marx and Roz Chast
From Karen Harris, Stone Mountain: This delightful collection of thoughts and critical witticisms is from the mother of author Patricia Marx. Her mother’s sometimes acerbic, sometimes spot-on suggestions for grammatical or other improvements makes for an entertaining read. The sayings are things the author has never been able to forget and instead recorded them with illustrations by Roz Chast, who captures the fun and sardonic realism of the statements. Notable examples include ‘Never wear red and black together or you will look like a drum majorette’; ‘Avoid sleeves like batwings, bell, pup tent, leg of mutton, or lampshade unless you are in a theater production’; and ‘Nature, to be seen at all. is best seen from a car.’ Many of the statements are laugh out loud funny and will call to the mind of the reader sayings from their mothers.

Milledgeville native early fighter against yellow fever
Joseph Hill White entered the Marine Hospital Service, later known as the U.S. Public Health Service, in 1884, and served until his retirement in 1923. During his distinguished career the Georgia native was appointed assistant surgeon general and was posted throughout the United States and abroad to manage outbreaks of communicative disease. His fieldwork in the use of mosquito eradication measures to combat yellow fever laid important groundwork for scientific research in combating the disease.
White was born in 1859 in Milledgeville, when the city served as Georgia’s capital (1807-68). His grandfather, Benjamin Aspinwall White, was president of the Georgia State Board of Physicians for most of his career and was appointed Georgia’s surgeon general in 1861. Joseph White received his initial medical training under his uncle, Samuel Gore White of Milledgeville, and received his M.D. from the Baltimore College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1883. He married Emily Hurt Humber in Putnam County in 1885. Early in his career he commanded the South Atlantic Quarantine at Blackbeard Island, supervising the disinfecting of crews and cargoes en route to southern ports of the United States.
In 1899 White was placed in charge of the Marine Hospital Domestic Quarantine Division, based in Washington, D.C. That same year a yellow fever outbreak occurred at the National Soldiers Home near Newport News, Va. Before departing for Virginia, White indicated to fellow physician Walter Reed that he planned to use mosquito control as well as the requisite quarantine to limit the outbreak. The link between the mosquito and yellow fever had been suggested by another physician, Carlos Juan Finlay, but had not yet been scientifically proved and was considered controversial in medical circles. Despite the close quarters at the home, there were only eleven fatalities. In 1900 Reed and the U.S. Army Yellow Fever Commission definitively identified the Aedes aegypti mosquito as the vector for the disease.
In 1905 a yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans, La., proved to be the last in the United States. Fearing the interruption of commerce necessitated by a quarantine, business and civic leaders initially downplayed the situation, allowing the caseload to reach epidemic proportions. White was posted to New Orleans, where he skillfully brought the outbreak under control before the first frost.
In 1914 White was loaned to the Rockefeller Foundation, under whose auspices he was posted to Central and South America to further the foundation’s work against various communicative diseases. In 1921 the foundation appointed him director of the Worldwide Campaign against Yellow Fever.
Through the publication of articles in medical journals and appearances at professional conferences, White devoted his career to convincing the medical community and the general public of the importance of preventive medicine and public health measures in the control of disease.
White died in Washington, D.C., in 1953 and is buried in Milledgeville’s Memory Hill Cemetery.

Let’s see how many can identify this Mystery Photo
Here’s a stark white modern building. You may have recognized it. Let’s see how many readers can identify this distinctive structure. Send your ideas to elliott@brack.net and include your hometown.
Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex. was one of several who identified the last Mystery Photo: “Today’s mystery photo is in downtown Dingle, Ireland, a town (pop: 1,671) on the the Dingle Peninsula along the Atlantic coast of southwestern Ireland. It is the only town on the peninsula, and its main industries are tourism, fishing, and agriculture. The green and white building on the left of the photo is The Dingle Pub, was established in 1975 and is considered by many to be one of the most famous and iconic pubs in Ireland. It is popular with tourists and locals alike as they have live Irish music seven-days a week until the ‘wee hours of the night.’ What struck out to me about the mystery photo was the fact that the buildings are all painted in colorful pastel colors. It turns out that in the 1970s, Ireland held a nationwide Tidy Town competition, and Dingle residents embraced it by changing the color scheme of the whole town, and continue the tradition more than 50 years later!” This photo came from Sharon LeMaster of Decatur.
Others recognizing the photograph included Mickey Merkel, Berkeley Lake; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Fran Worrall, Lawrencville.
