YEARS AGO, MANY PEOPLE would sleep under hand-stitched quilts, in a variety of home made patterns. This quilt, still warm for sleeping, was made by Effie Collins Brack (GwinnettForum publisher’s mother). Every piece of decorative cloth was painstakingly cut, assembled and stitched by hand. For more on quilting in the older days, see Elliott Brack’s Perspective below.

Congress must devise ethical standards for SCOTUS
By Raleigh Perry
BUFORD, Ga. | Our government is set up on checks and balances, supposedly. But consider: at this point there are no rules, per se, controlling the ethics and morals of members of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Recent allegations show that two justices, and maybe more, might have at least violated ethical rules that cause their positions to be in question in not just one or two cases, but in a number of their rulings.
The most egregious concerns Justice Clarence Thomas. Yes, a Georgian by birth.
What can be done about these so-called “indiscretions,” which seem far more serious than at first blush?
So far, little has happened. It seems that all of Congress knows that something is wrong at SCOTUS, but no one comes forward to do anything about it. That makes our Congress a serious part of the problem.
One solution more immediately would be for the president to direct his attorney general to look into the Court, for possible indictments. The President could also suggest an ethical code for the Congress to pass.
Or another possibility: let us say that the next Senate is Democratic and so is the House. I think that supposition is realistic. Let us then say that the new House and Senate pass a law on the ethics of SCOTUS. But it’s possible that if it did not go to the amendment category, the Supreme Court would simply throw this new law out.
If, however, it was proposed as an amendment, then it goes to the states and that would well take a long time to come into law. There is no guarantee that it would actually become an amendment. Remember, the Equal Rights Amendment did not make it.
I think that there is a chance that many states that are now Republican might flip because of things like Roe v. Wade and a variety of associated state laws on abortion. After all, women vote massively for such changes.
An amendment would require two-thirds of the states to vote for it. And that would mean either 34 of the states would be needed. That is a very slow process and it would possibly be that all of the miscreants would be dead before it became law. But there is a chance.
It might be easier to go after the billionaire who is footing all of Thomas’ bills, plus the law firms that have fallen under Justice Neil Gorsuch for trying to influence a judge’s vote.
For more information on this topic, go to Google News and Yahoo news. You will find info there about all of the sins of the Supreme Court Justices back to 1991. Impropriety does not seem to count for SCOTUS.
If a Democratic majority were elected in both the House and Senate this government can get back to work in a positive way. I think that Trump might not win the Presidency back because voters that have been polled have not taken the elephant in the room, abortion, into consideration. Add to this the fact that more women vote than men.
Inflation seems no longer an issue, sitting now in the 3+ percent range now. Prices will begin to drop but perhaps not as fast as a lot want.
But, the election come what may, we need to focus on ethical and moral standards for SCOTUS.

Old-time quilting was a necessity for cold nights
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
FEB. 13, 2024 | It was a reminder of times past. Two incidents last week were about quilting.
GwinnettForum reported Duluth quilters are sending their handiwork to Ukraine, and are being featured this week at the Millenium Museum in Atlantic Station.
And for a few nights recently, when visiting our daughter in Durham, N.C., I slept under a quilt that my Mother had made for her granddaughter. It was a beautiful hand-stitched quilt, made painstakingly on a quilting frame. (How many of you have ever heard of a quilting frame, or can visualize it?)
Actually, since the weather had turned cold in North Carolina, I slept not only under that quilt my mother made, but under another quilt, plus a blanket, in a relatively cooler room that I have not been used to. But I was cozy warm under the weight of these covers.
Quilting today is a fading art. Though I know some ladies who quilt, today most do it as a hobby. And they are helped by several modern implements, the sewing machine, as well as other means, including the Internet. Who would have known?
Yet the quilting of yesterday was very much not a hobby. It was a means of preparing for the cooler months by hand-stitching quilts, some more functional than beautiful, all purely to keep family members snug under their covers .
Often housewives would be quilting after the evening meal, coming off working hard during the day with the washing and ironing, preparing meals, or even toiling in the fields. Sitting down amidst the awkward quilting frame was also restful, compared to a housewife’s other chores. Often family members or neighbors gathered in community “Quilting circles.” It was enjoyable, besides being most utilitarian for the coming cold weather. And quilting is a quiet job, allowing the quilters to talk among themselves, sometimes even swapping gossip!
But it was slow work. It began by getting the homemade quilting frame set up. The frame was made up of four wooden strips, about two inches wide, and 6-7 feet long. This was held together with clamps on the four corners. Cloth, which would be the eventual size of the quilt, was attached one side of the frame, then one end was rolled up to allow a small, wide space of the cloth for the quilter to work. As the quilter made progress, the finished stitched area was rolled to the other edge of the frame, and a new section of the cloth was let out for quilting.
One reason it took several quilts in the South to stay warm in bed during winter was that people in the South didn’t routinely have woolen fabric to use to make quilts. They used cotton cloth. Once the quilt pattern was finished, then pure cotton was stuffed between the top and bottom layers, then more hand stitching was made to hold the two levels of fabric closely together.
Essentially, it was a slow process, made even slower by the fact that the housewife just didn’t work continuously on it, because of her other duties. One more element: those working on quilts were justifiably proud of their creation. Many were beautiful in their design.
Old-time quilting was essentially folk art, though few thought of it as art. It was in a far different time from the way people sleep with modern bed covers today.

Saving two ways: via LED bulbs, and cutting out cable
Editor, the Forum:
About LED bulbs: I recently installed a wall antenna on one of my television sets to eliminate cable. Everything worked fine until I installed LED bulbs on a lamp in the same room with the TV set. Out went the television. The channels returned when I switched off the lamp . Nevertheless, the antenna was so successful that I eliminated cable and put wall antennas up on all my TVsets, and added two streaming services The total bill is $28 per month.
Another subject: Gerrymandering also contributes to electing extremists who are unwilling to compromise; hence a do nothing Congress afraid to tackle the nation’s problems.
We have seen an excellent example with the rejection of the border bill that would help solve that problem.
– George Wilson, Stone Mountain
Dear George: congratulations on saving two ways, on the low-energy bulbs, and by cutting out cable. Zowee!—eeb
GwinnettForum on target about gambling in Georgia
Editor, the Forum:
Right on, Elliott! Gambling hurts more than it helps. Just note the primary buyers of lottery tickets, from my observation, are low income folks who can’t afford to buy them, which subsidizes middle income family students in college.

Bill creating the City of Mulberry goes to governor
The possibility of establishing the City of Mulberry in Gwinnett County hurdled another step last week as the Georgia Legislature sent a bill creating the city to Gov. Brian Kemp. Once signed by the governor, and if approved by voters, it would become the 17th city in Gwinnett, more than in any other Georgia county.
House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration (R-Auburn) and State Senator Clint Dixon (R-Gwinnett) led the effort for the bipartisan legislation to create the City of Mulberry in northeastern Gwinnett County. If signed by Governor Kemp, it would place the question of cityhood on the spring primary ballot for residents in the proposed city.
If signed by the governor and approved by voters, the City of Mulberry would provide planning and zoning, code enforcement and stormwater management services and would not be allowed to implement a city property tax. More information about the City of Mulberry, including the feasibility study which found the city would be financially viable without collecting any city property taxes, can be found at https://www.cityofmulberryga.com/.
Northeast Boy Scouts to honor 3 individuals

Two Norcross Gallery paintings stand out
In the Norcross Gallery and Studios current exhibit, Warm Hearts, showing Council Member’s work, two paintings stand out.
The first is by Mike MacManus and is titled “Not Coming Home”; the painting shows some small children in a school hallway. The children standing in the foreground have haunted, sad expressions and there are children lying on the floor behind them. MacManus says it was inspired by a Nashville school shooting and about the families’ loss, anger about guns, and concerns for safety. No one thinks about the children who survived to come home and their confusion and sadness.
“Sunflowers” is by Kathy Collins; the beautiful flowers are a favored subject for many artists and after the invasion of Ukraine many of Gallery artisans used art as an expression of their feelings at that time, says Collins.
The exhibit ends February 17 so see these outstanding works soon.
Davis is new general manager at Aurora Theatre
A familiar face is coming to Gwinnett County. Jono Davis, former artistic director and manager of Cobb County’s T. Anderson Theatre, is joining the Aurora Theatre as the new complex general manager. He leaves Cobb County after 8.5 years.
In his time at the Anderson Theatre, he managed rentals, brought in touring acts, and created the southeast’s first concert musical series, entitled The Overture Series, which proceeded to win several Suzi Bass Awards and a Telly Award. As the general manager, he will oversee management of the entire campus and facility rentals at the Lawrenceville Arts Center.
Jono says: “I have watched this area grow and develop for many years, and I cannot wait to explore and get to know this community. This city has built a beautiful arts center, and I am honored to be a part of its history.”
Producing Artistic Director Ann-Carol Pence is ecstatic. “Jono is the ideal candidate. He will be able to bring new solutions to the table as to how we best activate the entire campus; plus, with his background in marketing and public relations, he will expand the brand of Aurora Theatre as a nationally recognized institution.”
Two executives join Georgia Banking Company
In response to the remarkable growth experienced by Georgia Banking Company (GBC) over the last three years, the organization is announcing strategic leadership changes that reflect its commitment to maintaining momentum and focusing on key strategic priorities.
Effective immediately, David Black will step into the role of chief commercial officer, a pivotal new position overseeing GBC’s asset-generating lines of business, including commercial and specialty lending, commercial real estate, and mortgage warehouse. Black is a native of Clyattville in Lowndes County.
Black holds a BBA and MBA from the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia. He met his wife, Kristin, in Athens. They have two sons and the family lives in Sandy Springs.

Simultaneously, Wes Reagan will transition from director of credit risk to assume the role of chief risk officer. Reagan’s diverse background and proven track record in navigating complex risk landscapes position him well for this critically important role.
Reagan is a native of Snellville, where he grew up. He is a CFA charterholder and holds a BBA and MBA from the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia. He and his wife, the former Lainie Reagan of Lilburn, with their two sons live in Sugar Hill.

84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
From Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill: What do you do when you can’t find a copy of that obscure classic book you want? Why, you turn to England! That’s what New York scriptwriter Helen Hanff did when she couldn’t find the books she coveted after World War II. Hanff turned to Frank Doel, a dealer of rare and antiquarian books at 84 Charing Cross Road, London. This lovely little book tells their story through a series of letters during a 20-year period beginning a few years after the war. The story has very little plot but illustrates how the war affected the British people and how Hanff’s humor and humanity influenced the lives of Doel and the other shop employees. I never get tired of reading this charming tale and I recommend this story for true book lovers and Anglophiles. Better still, watch the 1987 movie starring Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft, available on Amazon Prime.

Durban wins recognition for Southern fiction
A Southern writer who has received much recognition for her gripping, insightful fiction, Pam Durban was professor of creative writing at Georgia State University from 1986 until 2001, when she moved to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Some of her earliest fiction bears the imprint of the time she spent as a textile worker in Atlanta in the early 1970s and of her interviews with residents of the community.
Durban has written several highly acclaimed short-story collections and novels, including All Set About with Fever Trees and Other Stories (1985), The Laughing Place (1993), and So Far Back(2000), which won the Lillian Smith Book Award in 2001. (The award is named for Georgia writer Lillian Smith and administered by the Southern Regional Council, the University of Georgia Libraries, the DeKalb County Public Library / Georgia Center for the Book, and Piedmont University.) A collection of stories, Soon, appeared in 2015 as a part of Pat Conroy’s Story River Books imprint, published by the University of South Carolina Press.
During the course of her career she has won numerous literary awards and honors, including the Townsend Prize for Fiction (1994), the Whiting Writer Award (1988), the Rinehart Award for Fiction (1984). Her work has appeared in numerous literary
Rosa Pam Durban was born March 4, 1947, in Aiken, S.C. to Frampton Durban, a real estate appraiser, and his wife, Maria. Her educational background includes a B.A. degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (1969) and an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa (1979).
From 1974 to 1975 Durban was affiliated with the Atlanta Gazette as an editor and writer. She later began an academic career, teaching creative writing at the State University of New York at Geneseo, Murray State University, Ohio University, and Georgia State University. Durban was also founding co-editor (along with David Bottoms) of the prize-winning literary journal Five Points. In 2001 she joined the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as Doris Betts Professor of Creative Writing.
Of her experience as a textile worker in Atlanta, Durban says, “One of my first published stories, ‘This Heat,’ came out of this experience, and I believe that the time I spent in that place helped me see that I was most interested in who people are and how they got to be that way, and what makes them or allows them to go on living in the face of everything that happens to them.”
Much of Durban’s fiction has a southern setting, and her writing is infused with an understanding of the customs and traditions unique to southern culture. Her first short-story collection, All Set About with Fever Trees and Other Stories (1985), consists of seven stories that deal with family relationships and the struggles for love, understanding, and rebirth in the face of hardships and tragedies. The characters in this collection come from a wide spectrum of southern society, including a country singer seeking elusive stardom, a mill worker dealing with the sudden death of her teenage son, a young boy caught in the throes of first love, and a father psychologically distanced from his family because of war trauma.

Previous mystery traditional; This one is modern
From the traditional Mystery Photo, to the modern architecture of the current Mystery, there’s quite a difference. Can you recognize enough of the clues to get today’s Mystery correct. Try your hand, sending your thoughts to elliott@brack.net. Be sure to tell us where you live.
Several people correctly identified the recent Mystery, including George Graf of Palmyra, Va., who said: “This is St. Augustine’s Church, known as the ‘wee church,’ the oldest church in Derry, Ireland.” The photo came from John Titus of Peachtree Corners.
Others identifying the Mystery were Jay Altman, Columia, S.C.; Alma Ortiz, Alpharetta; Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; Cheryl Ritzel, Hoschton; and Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill.
Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex., added: “The church is believed by many to be built on ‘God’s Little Acre,’ the original site of St. Columba’s first monastery in Ireland. St. Columba (521 AD – 597 AD), an Irish abbot and missionary, is the patron saint of Derry who is credited with spreading Christianity throughout the region in the 6th century.”

Two groups will work on “Missing Middle” housing
Gwinnett Housing Corporation (GHC) is announcing its partnership with MicroLife Institute to help the county meet the growing demand for “Missing Middle” housing. Missing Middle refers to housing types that fall somewhere between single-family home and mid-rise apartments, such as townhomes, duplexes, triplexes and cottages.
The partnership between the two organizations was established after GHC received a development grant from Gwinnett County to build Gwinnett’s first tiny home or “cottage court” community. This innovative project is now feasible thanks to Gwinnett County’s extensive updates to the development ordinances last October which were implemented to expand housing options for residents. The ordinance changes took effect January 1, 2024.
Lejla Prljaca, Gwinnett Housing Corporation CEO, says: “The much-anticipated ordinance overhaul will enable small, nonprofit developers such as GHC and MicroLife Institute to address the growing need for affordable housing in Gwinnett. Today, first-time home buyers encounter tremendous challenges as they compete with investors making cash offers and waiving contingencies. Additionally, historically high mortgage interest rates and rising property taxes are diminishing their purchasing power. By offering affordably priced homes, we hope that more families can achieve their dreams of homeownership.”
Will Johnston, Executive Director of the MicroLife Institute of Atlanta: “By fostering collaboration and extending our efforts to Gwinnett County and neighboring counties, we aspire to weave a tapestry of thriving communities, reinforcing the bonds that make us stronger together.”
The project will feature cottage-style homes up to 750 square feet and will be priced to be attainable to families earning up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income. The project location has not been determined yet.
In addition to home ownership programs, GHC provides access to affordable rental housing, transitional housing, and shelter assistance. To learn more about the Gwinnett Housing Corporation, its programs, and projects, please visit www.GwinnettHousing.org.
