Remembering the artistic talent of Cal Warlick
By Hoyt Tuggle
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. | Former Art Director for the Gwinnett Daily News, Cal Warlick, passed away on Feb. 14, 2024.
Tuggle
Cal was born in Columbus, Ga. in 1940 and graduated high school in College Park. Cal and his wife, Sue, were married in 1962 and made their home in Lawrenceville. They raised identical twin daughters, Debra and Laurie, both now deceased, in the house where Cal passed away. Cal is survived by his wife of 61 years, Sue and his grandson, Alex Rohrer.
After graduating from high school, Cal went to work for the Atlanta Journal and Constitution (AJC) in the art department. He illustrated advertisements for eight years. While working for the AJC, Cal’s drawing was chosen to be Chik-fil-A’s corporate logo. His compensation, as told by Cal, was a sack of biscuits, as his employment with the AJC excluded any monetary compensation done for advertisers. Cal told Sue, at the time, “Chick biscuits will never make it.”
Warlick
Cal joined WAGA-TV doing various programs, courtroom sketches, and editorial cartoons. While at WAGA Cal received eight Emmys recognizing his outstanding ability to convey stories and situations with his artwork.
Cal was not only an accomplished artist; he was also a brilliant poet. His expertise was the use of a concise metaphor to convey a very complex feeling. His use of metaphor allowed the hearer, or reader, to experience within themselves a deep, almost spiritual, emotion that normal conversation was incapable of achieving.
Later Cal became Art Director for the Gwinnett Daily News and did the majority of the editorial cartoons that ran in the paper.
With the newspaper’s closing, Cal began to do freelance illustrations for magazines, books, advertising agencies and newspapers, including his first employer, the AJC. It was at this time that Cal began creating sports posters. He created a line of collegiate football posters that stretched nationwide. As the popularity of his posters grew, Cal desired more control over the quality of his reproductions and a printer close to home. He partnered with our family firm, Graphic Communications Corporation in Lawrenceville, to be his printer.
Working with Cal for over 20 years. We truly knew the man behind the legend. The man was more impressive than the legend! Cal was a man of deep religious faith. He was a member of New Hope Christian Church in Lawrenceville, where he taught Sunday School, was a deacon, and chaired the Property and Grounds Committee for years.
Cal was soft-spoken and always encouraging to all to whom he came in contact. Cal was trustworthy and never “ran anyone down.” He was forthright in stating his opinion but never in an arrogant or condescending manner. He might have roasted a politician in an editorial cartoon, but he was never personally demeaning to that person.
One of the features of many of Cal’s sports posters and maybe even his editorial cartoons were hidden “jewels.” His bestselling poster was the 2002 UGA SEC Football Championship poster entitled The Big Dawg’s Back!
The poster is printed above. See if you can find the following names in the illustration: Sue (his wife), Laurie (daughter), Deb (daughter), and Alex (grandson) at least twice.
Calvin (Cal) Warlick, 1940-2024: May you rest in peace.
- A celebration of life service for Cal Warlick was held on Saturday, February 24, in the chapel of Byrd and Flanigan Funeral Service, Lawrenceville, with Pastor James Shelton officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations may be made to Creative Enterprises, 701 Hi Hope Lane, Lawrenceville, Ga. 30043.

Democrats: Vote March 12 against the biggest menace
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
FEB. 27, 2024 | Since many Democrats, and no doubt also a substantial number of Republicans, think the biggest menace to the United States is Donald Trump, here’s a suggestion for Georgians who have not yet voted in the presidential primary, which is on March 12.
Vote against Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary. Do our country and yourself a favor and forgo having any voice in picking Democratic nominees in May, but cross over and vote in the Republican Primary in March, of course against Donald Trump.
Though you will find 11 names on the Republican presidential ballot, the only viable candidate remaining is Nikki Haley. So yes, vote for the former South Carolina governor, and give her your vote to win the presidential primary in Georgia. Almost certainly, Mrs. Haley won’t win the Georgia primary.
From Georgia’s sample GOP ballot. Click for more.
In Georgia, voters do not have to register by party, and are therefore able to choose in which nominating primary they may vote each time they go to the polls. With this in effect, if enough Democratic votes switched in 2024 to the Republican primary, and these people vote for Nikki Haley, it could inflict damage to the Trump campaign.
Of course, if Democrats vote in the Republican presidential primary in March, it would mean that when they returned to the polls in the General Primary in May, they would be required to vote in the Republican General Primary. As Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told GwinnettForum last week, “You have to pick one (party) and stay with them for primaries. Can’t change your horse in midstream.” Then in the November General Election, they can vote for any candidate in any party.
That makes sense. But what would the Democratic voters lose by voting in the Republican presidential primary? Not much. After all, there is virtually no way that President Joe Biden will fail to get the Democrat’s nomination for president in Georgia in March. We suspect that the Biden campaign will draw similar votes as the 2020 campaign. Then Biden won 85 percent of the vote, 921,063, against only Bernie Sanders, who got 101,668 votes, for a total of 1,023,845 Democrats voting. The 2024 Democratic vote will probably be far fewer, since it is not contested.
Similarly, in the 2020 Republican presidential primary in Georgia, Donald Trump got 947,352 votes, with only his name on the ballot.
From Georgia’s sample GOP ballot. Click for more.
These potential crossover Democratic voters voting in the Republican primary get an additional benefit. They can vote for local candidates in the Republican General Primary in May that they think would be the best people for the various offices. They even might help nominate the eventual winner in certain local races. And there’s every possibility that they could pick the Republicans they want to vote for in the primary without any of the Republican candidates calling them on the telephone and chatting them up, since they are known to have previously voted as Democrats. Most Republican candidates will never think to call them.
Another element for these possible Democratic switchers in 2024: even when voting Republican in the General Primary in May, they also get to vote for the non-partisan candidates, where we elect members of the School Board and judicial officers. The only aspect that they would be is that they would not be able to vote for the candidates seeking Democratic nominations.
Most likely, Donald Trump will win the Georgia primary. But local Democrats can cut into Trump’s margin and play with his mind by backing Nikki Haley.

GOP leaders must usurp Trump, and solve immigration
By Jack Bernard, contributing columnist
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. | Immigration has historically helped our aging nation in numerous ways. The key question is “Who do we admit?” For example, most Americans support bringing in computer geniuses, doctors and nurses, as well as others who are filling jobs Americans do not want, such as seasonal agricultural workers.
We can build all the walls we want to, but as long as there are jobs here that do not pay enough to attract American citizens, illegal immigrants will seek to come here and take them. However, we must have policies in place to control the flow, which is now excessive.
Neither party has been adequately addressing our current immigration crisis. The Democrats have been lax in acknowledging that the USA’s current policies are inadequate. Plus, pushed by Donald Trump’s self-interest, the Republicans clearly want to use the crisis as a political issue rather than solving the problem. Thus, we see the GOP House and Speaker Mike Johnson impeaching Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for implementing policy decisions (which is not a criteria for impeachment.)
A bipartisan group in the Senate, which included rightwing Senator Lankford, came up with a most conservative but sensible immigration plan. But ex-president Trump vetoed it simply because he wants to use immigration as a 2024 campaign issue. So, gutless Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell withdrew GOP support, even though the Republicans were getting virtually everything they wanted.
Years ago, President George W. Bush outlined a comprehensive immigration strategy:
- The United States must secure its borders.
- We must hold employers accountable for the workers they hire.
- To secure our border, we must create a temporary worker program.
- We must bring undocumented workers already in the country out of the shadows and provide a path to citizenship.
- We must promote assimilation into our society by teaching new immigrants English and American values.
It’s sad that W’s party did not support his reasonable solution to the immigration crisis decades ago. Since then, the situation has just gotten worse because of Congressional inaction. It is even sadder that, spurred by Trump, his party continues to believe that the sole solution is building a wall and having Mexico pay for it. How dumb is that?
Clearly, we should only admit people who have values compatible with ours. Screening individuals will be difficult in failed nations. But America has always been a melting pot. We must find ways for a solution.
But Trump is not sensible, and seeks more power. He’s running a xenophobic, nationalistic campaign, pandering to those disliking immigration of anyone not purely white. To be true to our ideals, America should not say that we refuse to accept people of a certain religion or race, as Trump advocates. Both Republicans and Democrats must agree on this principle, or our nation will turn its back on our core values.
Historically, we are far from perfect. America has had discriminatory policies that have been applied to keep out “undesirables” as defined by the times.
We must make sure that we do not continue to discriminate while ensuring that we stay safe and add citizens who help fill our economic needs. The key is balance. The GOP’s Speaker Johnson and Senate Minority Leader McConnell must have the courage to move on immigration.

Take action: You can block some of those robo calls
Editor, the Forum:
A few years ago, I discovered that you can program your iPhone to not ring if the caller is not in your list of contacts. To be honest, I can’t remember how I did it but I’m sure I used Google search and found a way. It works like a charm. If someone calls me who is not in my contact list, they can leave a message or they can send a text message, but the phone doesn’t ring!
We also have a landline. The landline phone has a feature that blocks calls. Once you block a call, the phone does not ring when that number calls you back.
– Tim Keith, Sugar Hill
Editor, the Forum:
I have a simple solution to robocalls. I don’t answer the phone. I have caller ID on both my landline and cell phone and the capability to receive a voicemail. Unless I recognize either the caller’s name or phone number, I don’t answer the phone. I figure if it’s important enough, the caller will leave a message. This may not work for everybody, but it works for me.
– John Titus, Peachtree Corners

Commission seeks to raise the chair’s salary
There is a movement at the Gwinnett County Commission to raise the salary of the chairman of that board. Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson currently has a salary of $96,267, plus a $1,200 supplement.
Hendrickson
At its Tuesday meeting, the Commission is expected to pass wording that would compensate the chairman at the same rate as the sheriff of Gwinnett County is paid. Sheriff Keybo Taylor’s salary is $148,455, plus a $50,000 local supplement passed earlier this year.
District commissioners are paid between $69,194 and 70,924 annually. It has long been thought by many in Gwinnett County that the salary of the commission chair should reflect reality, and be raised from its current level. GwinnettForum has as one of its Continuing Objectives for Gwinnett County “21st century salary for the Gwinnett County Commission members.” All commissioners gain a $1,200 annual county supplement when they complete Association County Commissioners of Georgia training.
Any increase in salary for the chairman would not take place until January 1, 2025, if the Tuesday resolution passes. That resolution includes the following:
The Chairperson shall receive, for service as chairperson, a base salary equal to 100% of the minimum salary of the Sheriff of Gwinnett County as set forth in general state law as of January 1, 2024 including the Sheriff’s base salary, any supplement authorized by Official Code of Code of Georgia Annotated § 15-16-20.1, and any cost-of-living increase awarded by the State and applicable to the Sheriff’s salary since the Sheriff’s base salary was last reset. The Chairperson’s base salary shall also include any County supplement authorized for the Sheriff by the County and any cost-of-living increase awarded by the County applicable

Egalitarian ideal not fully realized in colonial Georgia
Although charity had been the initial motivation for the Georgia movement, by 1732 English military and economic considerations were the principal factors. As a result of James Oglethorpe’s persuasive arguments, King George II in 1732 granted a charter for creating Georgia and named Oglethorpe as one of 21 Trustees to govern the new colony.
As the Trustees began interviewing potential colonists, they looked for carpenters, tailors, bakers, farmers, merchants, and others with the skills necessary for the colony’s success. By this time any ideas of Georgia’s being a haven for debtors in English prisons had long vanished—and not one formerly jailed debtor was among the first colonists selected.
Georgia’s founders thought that the colony’s climate would be suitable to the production of valuable silk, wine, and other Mediterranean-type commodities. The Trustees imagined the colony as a place where settlers could achieve a comfortable living rather than an enormous personal fortune, which was associated with plantation life in other parts of British America.
In November 1732 a total of 114 men, women, and children gathered at Gravesend on the River Thames to set sail for the new colony of Georgia. Oglethorpe understood that Georgia’s charter prohibited him from holding office, owning land, or receiving a salary in the new colony, yet he gave up the comforts of home to accompany the first boatload of Georgia settlers.
After several delays they boarded the Anne for a two-month journey across the Atlantic. Following a brief visit in Charleston, S.C., the colonists proceeded to Port Royal, South Carolina’s southernmost outpost. While they rested, Oglethorpe and a band of Carolina Rangers went ahead to look for a place to settle.
Some 17 miles inland from the mouth of the Savannah River, they found Yamacraw Bluff overlooking the south bank of the river. Oglethorpe immediately struck up a friendship with the Yamacraw chief, Tomochichi, thus beginning a long and close relationship between the two.
On February 12, 1733, Oglethorpe returned to Yamacraw Bluff with the Georgia colonists. With the help of militia and enslaved African Americans from South Carolina, the pine forest was quickly cleared, and Oglethorpe laid out a plan for the new town of Savannah. His distinctive pattern of streets, ten-house “tythings,” and public squares soon became a reality.
Identical clapboard houses built on identical lots, plus restrictions on how much land could be owned, and an outright prohibition on slavery, were testimony to the Trustees’ desire to produce a classless society—one in which each head of household worked his own land. This egalitarian ideal was not fully realized, however, in that women were not allowed to own land in the new colony.
The Trustees based this policy on the assumption that each plot of land required a male worker (and armed defender).

Stone, stone, stone in today’s Mystery Photo
You can see a lot of stone and a lot of artisan’s work in today’s mystery. Suffice to say, it’s not around here. Try your hand at identifying this mystery. Send your thoughts to elliott@brack.net, and include your hometown.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. spotted the recent mystery: “This one was easy. I recognized it as soon as I saw it, and suspect that anyone who has been to the French Quarter in New Orleans to enjoy some jazz music will likely have visited this historic, bare-bones music venue decked out with wooden floors.
“Today’s mystery is a photo of the Preservation Hall at 726 St Peter Street in New Orleans. It was built in 1751 as a private residence,and in the 1950’s, was converted to a photo studio and art gallery by E. Lorenz “Larry” Borenstein (1919–1981), an art dealer from Milwaukee. Since losing out to go to jazz concerts himself, he decided in 1955 to offer his gallery as a ‘rehearsal hall’ for local jazz musicians so he could get his daily dose of his favorite live music. Today, the Preservation Hall is a popular jazz venue that hosts concerts over 360 nights a year, usually featuring ensembles from over 50 local musicians and bands.” The photo came from Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
Others recognizing this historic spot included Lynn Naylor, Maryville, Tenn.; Mark Smith, Eatonton; Matt Willis, Lawrenceville; Howard Hoffman, Berkeley Lake; Pat Bruschini, Peachtree Corners; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Dan Mackaben, Crystal Lake, Ill.; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; and Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville.
