TODAY’S FOCUS

We should not accede to the demands of a few

By Dan Bollinger

LOGANVILLE, Ga.  |  With all the controversy swirling around university campuses these days, I have been struck by the current concerns. You see, I returned to the University of Missouri in June of 1971 following a four-year stint in the Air Force. I was met by anti-war protestors, and treated with disdain by many fellow students because I was a veteran. 

Bollinger

When I signed on to the Young Democrats on campus, I was really ostracized as a veteran, and the fact I would not sign on to being part of the anti-Vietnam crowd. I had some very personal reasons for not wanting to demonstrate being part of any antiwar efforts at the time, all tied to my loyalty to this nation and the oath I took, and respect for those who served in Vietnam.

I worked hard for the next 18 months, and with the GI bill, a part time job, and a very supportive school-teacher wife, qualified to graduate in December of 1972.

After determining I had indeed met all the requirements for my Bachelor of Arts, I inquired when and how the commencement for December graduates was going to take place. I was rudely informed there would be no commencement nor any recognition. I was not sure why, but it was just one more slap in my face.

I really did not think much about it at the time, although my parents were very disappointed, since they would not see me in a cap and gown presented with my diploma. I was never given a good reason for not having a commencement. If I remember correctly, the University would send me my diploma in the mail, if I would pay $10.  Oh, and I could come back to Columbia and march in June when there would be a ceremony.

I said all the above and now to come to the craziness happening on our campuses in this spring of 2024.  Parallels are interesting: two wars, with passionate opposition from four different fronts; a can’t-win situation for our political leadership; accusations of racism’ and everyone has an opinion. 

University administrations, including their boards, are not willing to make difficult decisions. Today’s graduates will be forever marred.  Many never had a commencement ceremony from their secondary education experience, and now will be denied recognition for further efforts.

It is just wrong. Plain and simply wrong. Many will not care, but many will, and their family and friends deserve better as well. 

The actions of a few are supporting a terrorist group who committed an atrocious crime on October 7. Make no mistake, Hamas committed a crime, and the Palestinians in Gaza allowed and supported those crimes. Are we going to allow time honored traditions recognizing those who have worked hard and long been destroyed in support of criminals? 

I say an emphatic no! 

 We should not accede to the demands of a few. Secure the facilities, arrest those who refuse to obey the law, and give due recognition to those who deserve it, not those who choose to infringe on the rights of others. Free speech does not mean violence and lawlessness.

EEB PERSPECTIVE

Today’s most difficult job: Presiding over the Trump trial

By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum

May 10, 2024  |  The person with the hardest job in the nation these days may be the Hon. Juan M. Merchan, who is presiding in the New York criminal trial against former President Donald Trump.

The judge must be frustrated since Mr. Trump continually violates orders that the judge has imposed on Mr. Trump, time and time again threatening the integrity of the court, and possibly affecting the outcome of the case.

The latest infringement on the judge’s order drew a stern rebuke from the judge, who threatened to jail the former president from another outburst against his orders. Though he says it is the last thing he wants to do, the judge made clear he is only seeking to “protect the dignity of the court.”  (He may have already jailed him since this writing.)

We suspect that the judge knows that Donald Trump is merely playing deliberately to his MAGA crowd, knowing that when the judge threatens him, that only serves to bring in more money from Trump’s followers.   Yet the judge knows that putting a former president behind bars would only mean that his followers would respond with even more enthusiasm to a jailed president.

One reader of GwinnettForum suggested another alternative that might be better than jail time, if Trump disobeys orders again.  “Put an ankle brace on him,” the reader suggests, “And confine him either to his home, or to the courthouse, no other places.”  That would also prevent even weekend jaunts across the country to campaign, which might be even a greater penalty on the ever-outrageous Trump.

The idea of confining Trump to his home with an ankle brace solves another problem. If the judge threw the former president in jail, that would mean that the Secret Service would have to provide protection for him while incarcerated. It would be far easier for the Secret Service to protect him within his own home.

Looking back, is it nine? violations of the order from Judge Merchan’s court, and on each incident he was fined $1,000?  With Trump having financial problems now, what if the judge had told Trump that every time he violated the court order, he would double the fine? Double $1,000 nine times, and Trump would be paying $256,000 for the ninth violation. And the first eight would have cost him $259,000.  Doubling each time might make more of an impression than nine fines of $1,000.

In case you are wondering about the background of Judge  Merchan, we found this in Wikipedia.

Interestingly, Judge Merchan falls into a category that Donald Trump often vilifies. He is an American citizen who emigrated, with his parents, when he was six years old, from Bogota, Columbia. Merchan studied business at Baruch College in Manhattan, graduating in 1990, and earned his law degree from Hofstra University School of Law on Long Island in 1994. He was the first member of his family to go to college. 

A former assistant district attorney, Merchan became a judge in 2006 when New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg appointed him to the New York City Family CourtBronx County.  He remained in that role until 2009. 

Chief Administrative Judge Ann Pfau appointed Merchan as Acting Justice in the Supreme Court of New YorkNew York County, Criminal, in 2009, and he has been in that position since that time. Merchan presides over felony criminal trials. 

Merchan also previously served concurrently as a judge of the New York Court of Claims, being appointed to that role by Governor David Paterson in 2009 and serving until 2018.

FEEDBACK

Call for action in removing Gwinnett District Attorney

Editor, the Forum: 

GwinnettForum’s article on the current district attorney sheds light on a pressing issue that extends beyond statistics and legal jargon—it is about real lives impacted by a justice system that seems to be faltering. I resonate deeply with the call to action to remove District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson from office, as it reflects the urgent need for accountability and transparency in our legal institutions.

Allow me to share the story of Jalyne Evans-Jones, a victim of senseless gun violence over eight months ago. Despite meeting with the District Attorney’s office, including Ms. Austin-Gatson herself, twice, justice remains elusive. The shooter, Alejandro D. Querales Morales, faces only a misdemeanor charge, grossly inadequate given the severity of the crime.

This case is not just about Jalyne; it is about the integrity of our justice system. The delay in upgrading charges and the apparent hesitation to act swiftly raise questions about fairness and efficiency. As we approach an election year, it is crucial to hold our elected officials accountable and demand action for victims like Jalyne.

The legal precedent set in Turbeville v. State underscores the gravity of such crimes, irrespective of the absence of physical injury. We cannot afford to let bureaucratic delays and inadequate responses undermine trust in our legal system.

Gun violence affects us all, and it is time for decisive action and genuine commitment to justice. Jalyne’s story is a stark reminder that “Justice delayed is justice denied.”

This comment aims to align with the GwinnettForum article while highlighting the personal impact of legal shortcomings, emphasizing the need for swift and fair action in cases of violence.

– Eric Mario Jones, Snellville

Current GGC new nurses pass license at 100% rate

Before you can become a registered nurse, you must pass the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX), which is designed to test critical thinking, solid decision-making and to provide safe and effective nursing care for the patient.

Georgia Gwinnett College’s Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) program graduates are passing the NCLEX at an exceptional rate. The December, 2023 class passed the exam on the first attempt at 100 percent. In the past four years, GGC’s nursing students passed the exam on the first effort at 93.71 percent. 

Dr. Paula Gordon, interim dean for the school of health sciences and associate professor of nursing, at GGC says: “That’s second highest in the state of Georgia for BSN programs.” 

For bachelor’s degree nursing programs, the four-year national average for a first time NCLEX pass rate is 87.22 percent. In the state of Georgia, that rate is 87 percent.

What’s the secret to GGC’s success?

Gordon feels: “It’s our dedicated faculty and the methodology they use to teach our students. It’s interactive in that students participate in activities to understand and then apply the concepts they learn. It’s not a typical classroom setting where the professor stands at the front of the class and lectures.”

Complementing the interactive learning experience are the two simulation labs students use to practice. 

Gordon maintains: “The skills lab is where students start to learn the basic technical skills of nursing and our simulation lab is state of the art with hi-fidelity mannequins that give our students a close to real setting to apply their critical thinking skills. We also have a setting like an apartment where we simulate home visits and care. 

Gordon also credits the program’s clinical partners, which provides students with real world experience. 

In addition, the job placement rate after graduation is 100 percent. GGC graduates nurses in May and December of each year.

Commencement at Gwinnett Tech rewards 545 students

Gwinnett Technical College conferred degrees, diplomas and certificates to 545 students on its 2024 Commencement May 7. Dr. D. Glen Cannon, Gwinnett Tech president, recognized the achievements of the Class of 2024. The Commencement speaker was TC Parker, a 25-year instructor of Surgical Technology at the College, its instructor of the year.

Addressing the graduates, Dr. Cannon stated, “Many of you have faced obstacles that would have deterred the faint-hearted. Balancing college, a full-time job, family responsibilities, and financial hardships are no small feats.”

Dr. Cannon continued, “You stake your claim to success. You hold the power to open doors, shape destinies, and create change.” The applause that followed echoed through the arena, a testament to the collective pride felt by faculty, families, and friends.

While some graduates will immediately enter the workforce, others will continue their education through transfer agreements with other Georgia colleges and universities.

What W.H. Auden Can Do for You, by Alexander McCall Smith

This Scotsman author often quotes the British-American Poet W.H. Auden, who migrated to the USA, in writing his many books.  This small book of only 137 pages allows the reader to understand what the poet means to McCall Smith in his citing examples of Auden’s poems.  He leads you in a journey of how he discovered Auden, and then travels along the way as Auden tackles everyday subjects from choice, to politics and sex, to morals, Freud, dreams, visions and nature, showing  his variety of tone. The final chapter gives insight of Auden as a guide to living one’s life, sometimes quoting examples of Auden’s own words.  Granted, it can sometimes turn deep, but McCall Smith is one who writes simply, and takes the reader along with great insight. This is a book you can easily read in a couple days, as it shows great understanding of the everyday world.

Library has African American culture and history

Anchoring the west end of the Sweet Auburn historic district, the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History opened May 1994 in Atlanta. A special library of the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System, it is the first public library in the Southeast to offer specialized reference and archival collections dedicated to the study and research of African American culture and history and of other peoples of African descent. In 2001 the library received a Governor’s Award in the Humanities.

Decades before the Auburn Avenue Research Library opened, its core collection was formed at the Auburn Branch of the Carnegie Library of Atlanta. The one-story red-brick building, located at 333 Auburn Avenue, officially opened July 25, 1921, becoming Atlanta’s first public library branch for African Americans.

From the mid-1930s to the late 1940s the collection grew to include bound copies of magazines, newspapers, and scholarly journals by, for, and about African Americans, including the Atlanta Daily WorldCrisisJournal of Negro Education, and Negro History Bulletin.

In 1970 the Negro History Collection moved to the downtown Carnegie Library building, just off Peachtree Street, where Central Library now stands at One Margaret Mitchell Square. One year later, the library Board of Trustees officiated the status of the collection, naming it the Samuel W. Williams Collection on Black America, in honor of the Atlanta-based educator, theologian, and philosopher. The collection remained at the main library until 1994, when it was transferred to the newly built Auburn Avenue Research Library, a 50,000-square-foot, four-story structure of red brick and Black granite at the corner of Auburn Avenue and Courtland Street. Following almost 15 years of growth, however, the library outgrew its space. On November 4, 2008, Fulton County voters approved a library bond referendum, which included funds to enhance and expand the facility. In July 2014 the Auburn Avenue Research Library temporarily closed for its renovation and expansion. The newly renovated Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History reopened August 4th, 2016.

The Auburn Avenue Research Library consists of three divisions: reference and research, archives, and programs. Together, the divisions support the library’s mission “to promote specialized library service, archival resources, and culturally/educationally related activities essential for study and use by the general public, students, and scholars of the culture and history of peoples of African descent.”

The Williams Collection forms the cornerstone of the reference and research division, which maintains a variety of textual and microform records, a noncirculating library of secondary sources, and a broad array of web-accessible research databases for the study of African American culture and history and the African Diaspora. 

The programs division supports the library’s mission and serves the public through book discussions and readings, exhibitions, film screenings, lectures, seminars, tours, and workshops. The facility accommodates these activities on the main and second floors—through an auditorium, small gallery, conference rooms and two exhibition spaces, including the Cary/McPheeters Gallery. Through its cultural, educational, and scholarly programming—which is local, national, and transnational in scope—the programs division helps interpret and highlight the institution’s rich collections and provides outreach to the general public, as well as to Atlanta’s academic community.

Ideally located in downtown Atlanta, the Auburn Avenue Research Library is a short walking distance to numerous visitor and tourist destinations, restaurants and retail shopping, and historic districts, and is part of the National Park Service’s National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program.

MYSTERY PHOTO

You may have seen this lighthouse; where is it?

Yep, our fascination with lighthouses brings this mystery to you. Tell us where this tower is located, and you’ll solve today’s mystery. Remember to tell us your home town when  you send your thoughts to ebrack2@gmail.com.

We thought the previous mystery would be easy, but few readers gave us their thoughts. Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. gave us the most complete answer: “Today’s mystery photo is a monument to Button Gwinnett (1735 – 1777) located on the grounds of Colonial Park Cemetery in Savannah, Ga. Button Gwinnett was a representative of Georgia to the Continental Congress, and one of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. He served in the provisional Georgia legislature, and in 1777, shortly before his death in a pistol duel with a political rival, he wrote the original draft of Georgia’s first state constitution. The cemetery was established in 1750 as the second burial ground in colonial Savannah. It remained as the primary burial ground in Savannah until 1853 after which it stopped accepting new burials after more than 9,000 internments.” 

Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill took the photo on a recent visit to Savannah. Others recognizing the photo were Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C., and Lou Camerio of Lilburn.

But there is more to the story. Though the Mystery Photo monument in Savannah is Gwinnett County’s namesake, his bones are not buried there. Georgia found that out about 1900, when the people of Augusta decided to erect an obelisk to the three signers of the Declaration of Independence from Georgia, Lyman Hall, George Walton and Button Gwinnett and bury their remains under the obelisk.

They dug up the bones of Hall and Walton and buried them. But when the grave in which Button Gwinnett was thought to be buried was opened, and the bones found, neither of the leg bones were shattered. Since Gwinnett died from gangrene after his leg bone was shattered, officials realized the bones were not that of Button Gwinnett. No one knows where Button Gwinnett is buried. That’s the end of the history lesson for today.
