ON SATURDAY, GwinnettForum took this photo of a beautiful front garden in Norcross of the plant Rose Campions, one that spreads quickly. It also makes a silver velvet plant when the blooms are gone. On Sunday, the occupants of this home, Jill and Bill Brown, were both tragically killed in an auto accident in Doraville. The Browns were active in their community, with his long silver beard perfect for his many appearances as Santa Claus. Funeral plans are pending.

Local citizen looks back on time as a Georgia Regent
By Jose Perez
Former member, Georgia Board of Regents
PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga. | My takeaway from serving as a member of the Board of Regents (BOR) is that most disparaging remarks about higher education in the University System of Georgia are based on misunderstandings and that the BOR needs to do a better job with public awareness.
Perez
A seat at the BOR is both a demanding and enjoyable honor. We learn about the 26 institutions in the University System, interact with their presidents, staff and students, and learn their needs. The hard part is to allocate the dollars when we get to know staff members and other Regents.
Among many enjoyable experiences during my tenure, two most unforgettable times were the University of Georgia’s repeat as national football champions. The memories shared with sons and grandsons at those games will transcend my lifetime.
I am proud to have taken part in many efforts that have changed lives for Georgians. I highlight these two on my list.
The first is the Workplace Interpersonal Relationship Certificate (WIRC). This program teaches essential skills, which we often refer to in the past as “soft skills,” which have now become essential skills. It enables our workforce population to work better together.
For instance, Greater Atlanta has a population approaching seven million, from every corner of the globe. It alone has 19 institutions of higher learning with an enrollment of almost 220,000 students, and is headquarters for 29 Fortune 1000 companies.
WIRC trains the workforce on conflict resolution, on problem solving and on working on teams. Kennesaw State University developed WIRC, which has become available to all 19 Atlanta Regional Council of Higher Education institutions. WIRC will help Georgia continue to be the best state to do business, live and play.
The second element that I initiated during my five year tenure that will yield a statewide result is a better way to teach civics in K-12. That includes ways to compare and contrast standards to enable students not only to understand how our system works, but also how well it works compared to many others.
To me the promise of America is like Lynn Anderson’s “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden.” And it is stated plainly in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution by the following three statements:
- Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, (the American dream);
- The Consent of the Governed; and
- In Order to form a More Perfect Union.
I initiated the effort on teaching civics that the state Board of Education rightly took on and developed the standards, unanimously adopted by the board.
First, we examined how American ideals of freedom and democracy protect against the threats of totalitarian ideology. Then we described the role of government in a totalitarian system, like communism and fascism.
We were able to compare the structure, power bases and decision-making processes of American democracy to those of totalitarian governments. This led to realizing how the ideals of American democracy conflict with those of totalitarianism. We studied the causes of the growth and decline of totalitarian forms of government and American policies that resist their spread.
Senate Bill 459, introduced in the Legislature last year, contained these concepts, and sought to codify the changes. However, it did not make it out of the Senate last session. We hope to see it move forward next year, which will improve our public education.
It has been an honor and my pleasure to serve as a Regent, on a board that seeks to improve public school education in Georgia.

Candidates should give voters a break on election day
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
MAY 21, 2024 | Today is election day in Georgia, as our state has its in-person voting open today until 7 p.m. in the Georgia primary for 2024. We’ll be voting primarily for local offices in Democratic and Republican primaries. Non-partisan candidates for local and statewide judgeships and the Gwinnett School Board will be elected today.
Through Friday in Gwinnett, 27,559 people have early-voted, and 2,062 of the 4,080 absentee ballots have been returned.
Today as election day is not a surprise to most people, since for weeks the voters have been bombarded by candidates, and seen their mail boxes filled with flyers bringing up all sorts of issues for the voters to make up their mind on which candidate they will support.
You may have been asked to attend a fundraising session for a local candidate, and you may have been asked by mail or phone for a campaign donation. For sure, many candidates have sought your vote.
Now you’ll see a couple of activities if you are going to cast your vote today.
First, as you approach the polling site, you are overwhelmed with candidate signs on all approaches to the poll. These signs must be at least 150 feet from the actual poll site.
And at many places where you will vote, the actual candidates may be standing outside that free-sign zone, waving at voters as they drive or walk by.
To us, having candidates outside polling places is intimidating, worrisome, awkward, and downright wrong. If I see a candidate waving to me at a polling place, I vote against that candidate. I’ve even seen unopposed candidates waving!
Can’t the candidates give voters a little break on Election Day?
After all, candidates have had plenty of time since they began running, some a year ago, to try to convince people to vote their way. Can’t the voters deserve a little peace on the actual day by the candidates staying away from the polls?
With Gwinnett a big county, having 154 locations serving 156 voting precincts, most voters may not have candidates waving and hawking themselves to you at the polls. You tend to see this, however, in city elections in Gwinnett, when there is usually only one polling station. Often opposing candidates are across the street from one another seeking to catch your eye. And in small counties, it’s not unusual for candidates to stay on the road on Election Day, visiting first one polling site after another. That serves no purpose in our way of thinking.
Our view is that election day is for the voter, not the candidates. Few voters are convinced just before casting their vote that they should vote for those grinning, waving, hopeful candidates clamoring at you at least 150 feet from the poll building.
Years ago, when we were hiking often in the Georgia mountains, we proposed to local candidates join us for a hike. On several voting days, about a dozen candidates did just that, taking the day off, so to speak, driving to and enjoying the mountain air and company of fellow candidates, and giving the voters a break.
We picked a leisurely hike, and each time we did this, the candidates seemed to have a good time. Luckily, we didn’t have any broken ankles, though many found hiking was more tiring than campaigning.
Some won their races, others lost. But the voters got a break.

Continued inflation: Are rate cuts in jeopardy?
By Dr. Philip Vinson
Assistant professor of economics, Georgia Gwinnett College
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. | While inflation has eased somewhat in April according to today’s Consumer Price Index Report, consumer prices continue to be elevated. That’s not good news for consumers who want to borrow money, or for the Federal Reserve, which will have tough decisions to make about interest rates.
Vinson
The Fed has signaled that they’d like to cut rates, but it’s hard for them to justify that if inflation continues to be stubborn. On the other hand, some business activity which has been on hold waiting for a rate cut may be canceled altogether if they don’t think the rate cut will happen after all.”
Inflation reflects the average increase in prices, but specific areas such as house prices, rent and services are the main drivers of inflation today. When those individual sectors see price increases, it drives the rate of inflation upward.
In the housing sector, the rate of price increases has leveled off, but demand remains high, especially in populous regions like the Atlanta metro area. Do not expect house prices to plummet anytime soon.
People have to live somewhere, and certain geographical locations are also the key to earning high incomes. New supply takes a long time to manifest. We will likely deal with a slightly higher-than-usual cost of living increase for a while because of housing alone.
The Federal Reserve is always balancing inflation with traditional measures of economic health, such as gross domestic product and unemployment. If these measures are strong, the Fed will address inflation. Should unemployment rise and economic indicators show the country moving toward recession, the Fed might move toward rate cuts.
One more consideration to make is that the Fed has already indicated that it would prefer to cut rates as soon as possible. The Fed’s credibility is incredibly important, so I would be surprised if they didn’t cut rates at all this year simply so that they can live up to their word. However, every disappointing inflation report reduces that likelihood.

ARC funds $280,000 for traffic study in Gateway85 CID
The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) has announced a significant allocation of $280,000 from its million-dollar budget to fund a comprehensive study aimed at enhancing safety, beautification, and transportation infrastructure along Jimmy Carter Boulevard in the Gateway85 Community Improvement District (CID). Gwinnett County will contribute an additional $120,000 towards the endeavor.
Emory Morsberger, executive director of Gateway85 CID, says: “This study represents a pivotal step towards building a sense of place and community for residents, businesses, and visitors within our district.”
Carolyn Bourdeaux, the former Georgia Congresswoman who worked with Gwinnett County and the Atlanta Regional Commission on this grant says; “I deeply appreciate the regional partnership to invest in the Gateway85 Community. This LCI grant will help lay the foundation to foster sustainable growth and economic development in one of the most diverse but also high needs communities in the metro area.”
With more than 3,000 businesses, employing 47,000 people, Gateway85 CID’s members represent 16% of Gwinnett County’s workforce. By leveraging the expertise and resources of ARC and Gwinnett County, the study aims to identify innovative solutions to enhance the economic impact of Gateway85 CID, which is currently $16.6 billion.
The findings and recommendations of the study are expected to serve as a roadmap for future development and investment within Gateway85 CID, ultimately enriching the quality of life for all stakeholders and community members.

Be cautious: Another rabid animal found
Another rabid animal has been found in Gwinnett. Residents are advised to use caution and avoid animals behaving in unusual ways. On Thursday, May 9, a cat near the block of King Stream Way in Snellville tested positive for rabies. Vet staff were exposed to the feline through saliva. No bites or injuries were reported.
Diseases like rabies can be transmitted to humans and pets through bites or scratches from wild animals. Pet owners should ensure that their pets are current on rabies vaccination. According to the National Association of State Health Veterinarians, unvaccinated dogs and cats exposed to a rabid animal must be strictly quarantined for four months and vaccinated one month prior to being released.
If you or your child have been bitten or scratched by any stray animals or suspected rabid animal, immediate preventive treatment is necessary.
James Oglethorpe, by Michael L. Thurmond
From John Titus, Peachtree Corners: In 1996 Thurmond was a member of the James Oglethorpe Tercentenary Commission visiting England to celebrate Oglethorpe’s 300 birthday. At Oglethorpe’s grave, Thurmond an African American, was struck by a sentence of the grave’s memorial plaque: ‘He was the Friend of the oppressed Negro.’ That sentence was the inspiration for this book and its subtitle: ‘A Founder’s Journey from Slave Trader to Abolitionist.’ Thurmond concentrates on that portion of Oglethorpe’s life during which he founded Georgia as a unique social experiment which offered English debtors and others an opportunity for a new life. Oglethorpe and his fellow Trustees decided that economic vitality would be hindered by slave labor. Consequently, Georgia was the only British American colony prohibiting slavery prior to our revolution. Oglethorpe gradually evolved from a slave trader to an abolitionist. This book offers a new look at James Oglethorpe, the ‘Father of Georgia.” The book was recently published by the University of Georgia Press. Thurmond is CEO of DeKalb County.

James Ferguson Pack
James Ferguson Pack of Lawrenceville, 90, died peacefully at home on May 15, 2024. He was preceded in death by his wife of 23 years, Joyce (d. 1981) and by his wife of 32 years, Kay (d. 2019).
Pack
Mr. Pack was born on December 25, 1933, in Knoxville, Tenn., the eldest child of the late Edna Baldwin Pack and Benjamin Allison Pack. He spent his formative years in Knoxville, graduating from high school in 1951 and, at the age of 17, he answered the call of duty and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Following a year of training and duty in California, he was assigned to the 7th Fleet in the Pacific.
He served aboard the destroyer USS Jenkins during the Korean War, seeing active duty along the Korean Coast. His time in the service also afforded him the opportunity to visit Japan, China, and the Philippines.
He was discharged in November 1954 and began his studies at the University of Tennessee in January 1955. He graduated in 1960, earning a BS degree in accounting and a Doctor of Jurisprudence, and was admitted to practice law that same year.
Mr. Pack began his career with the accounting firm of Arthur Andersen in Atlanta in 1960. The following year, he left to join his client, Decatur Federal Savings Bank, as an officer in the finance department.
In May 1967, he joined Gwinnett Federal Savings Bank in Lawrenceville where he served as chief executive officer and chairman of the board for 28 years. Under his leadership, Mr. Pack successfully negotiated the sale of the bank in 1995, and after retiring, he stayed active in real estate, county government, banking, charity work, and travel.
Mr. Pack was dedicated to the Gwinnett community. He served many years with Brand Bank and was a Trustee of Georgia Gwinnett College. He did charity work with the Gwinnett Foundation, Gwinnett Children’s Shelter, Lawrenceville Boys and Girls Club, the Boy Scouts, Rotary Club of Gwinnett County, Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, the Council for Quality Growth, and many others. His dedication to the community was recognized when the Lawrenceville Boys and Girls Club Teen Center was named in his honor. He was also presented with the Gwinnett County Chamber Public Service Award in 1999, and was the 2007 Honoree of the Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia Foundation.
A long-time member of the Lawrenceville Presbyterian Church, Mr. Pack served as both deacon and elder. Jim enjoyed traveling in Europe and studying Greek and Roman history. His most treasured travel memory was walking in the footsteps of Christ in Jerusalem with his brother, Richard. He valued his many friendships, rarely missing a Saturday morning breakfast with the boys at Dicky Doos Diner.
Above all, he was devoted to his family. Those left to cherish his memory include: his daughter, Lynn Pack Price and Lynn’s husband Edd of Braselton; son, James Thomas Pack and his wife, Christine of Berkeley Lake; stepson Jason Harrington and Jason’s wife Linda of Lawrenceville; stepdaughter, Allison Harrington of Buford; grandchildren Jenna Louise Zisoff, Jazmyne Kaylin Cain, Kyle Kogan Pack, Charles Parker Pack and James Preston Pack; brothers Richard Pack and Ben Pack, both of Sevierville, Tenn.; sisters Loretta Maples (Lynn) and Wilma Jean Brantley; and a number of in-laws, nephews and nieces. Mr. Pack was preceded in death by sister, Shirley Mae Hankins, and his brother, Dwight David Pack. The family would also like to acknowledge Romesha Bennett for the compassionate care given to “Papa.”
A funeral service celebrating the life of James F. Pack will be conducted on Thursday, May 23, 2024, at 2 p.m. at Wages and Son Funeral Home in Lawrenceville with Pastor John Batusic officiating. The family will begin receiving friends at noon. In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift in his memory to the Salvation Army, Eagle Ranch or Lawrenceville Presbyterian Church.
Growing grains is important in Georgia agriculture
Grains, particularly corn, have been important to Georgia’s citizens, livestock, wildlife, and general economy since the state’s founding. Native Americans and European settlers depended on grains to sustain life and trade. Today Georgia citizens and livestock consume billions of pounds of grains each year.
Grains produced in Georgia include corn, grain sorghum, pearl millet, wheat, oats, barley, and rye. Additional crops consumed as a grain or forage include triticale (a high-protein wheat-rye cross) and millets (proso, foxtail, and browntop). Corn, sorghum, and millet are produced only in the summer months; wheat, oats, barley, rye, and triticale are grown during the winter. Each is distinct in its use and production.
Many animals, including poultry, horses, cattle (both beef and dairy), and swine depend on grains, especially corn, as their main feed source. For instance, the broilers, layers, and breeding stock of the poultry industry alone consume more than Georgia farmers produce in a year. Georgia farmers produce about 50-70 million bushels per year. This means that corn as well as other grains must be imported, making Georgia a grain-deficit state.
Most of the corn and wheat production in Georgia occurs in the southern counties. These areas are generally characterized by gently sloping or flat lands of well-drained soils, mostly of the clay loam to sandy loam soil types. Grains generally require a soil pH of 6.0 to 7.0 for good production. Georgia soils are acidic and inherently low in nutrients, so soil amendments like lime and fertilizer must be made yearly to sustain good crop production. Because these soils are prone to drought, supplemental water is needed for the consistent production of such grain crops as corn and grain sorghum, which are easily affected by dry weather. Approximately 65 to 70 percent of Georgia’s corn crop is irrigated, but less than 20 percent of the other grain crops are irrigated.
The most acreage harvested in corn in Georgia was 4,508,000 acres in 1935. The five-year average for harvested corn is about 174 bushels per acre (17.5 times that in 1935) on less than 500,000 acres per year. Over the past five years, farmers average selling a bushel of corn for about $5.58 per bushel. Primarily all of Georgia’s corn crop is sold in the animal feed market.
Sweet corn is produced by farmers and home gardeners, and it is distinguished from the other types in that the endosperm consists primarily of soluble sugars rather than starch. It is highly valued in the fresh, edible market and is sweet to the taste. Sweet corn is produced commercially mostly in the southwestern areas of Georgia.
Most of the corn grown in Georgia is used in animal feed if it meets the quality standards of the industry.

Statue of two people kissing is today’s mystery
Today’s Mystery Photo may remind us of a photograph taken in New York at the end of World War II. But this is a statue. Can you figure out where it is? Send your answer to ebrack2@gmail.com, including your hometown.
Several readers recognized “An Gorta Mór, ‘The Great Hunger Memorial, located along Lahinch Road, Lehinch, County Clare, Ireland. It was sent in by John Titus of Peachtree Corners.
Among those recognizing this photo were George Graf, Palmyra Va,; Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Fran Worrall of Lawrenceville; and Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex., who wrote: “The memorial notes (in both English and Gaelic) that ‘The memorial was erected in August 1995 by Clare County Council and the ladies and gentlemen of the ancient order of Hibernians in America and Ireland (B.O.E.) to commemorate all those who died in the Great Hunger.’
“The Great Hunger Memorial was the first memorial in Ireland placed in memory of the Great Hunger Famine (aka the Irish Potato Famine) that occurred in and around Ireland between 1845 to 1849 during which roughly one million people died and more than a million fled the country. The worst of the famine occurred in the west and south of Ireland during 1847, which became known historically as Black ’47.”
