TODAY’S FOCUS

Pink Pig, Festival of Trees, coming to Gas South Arena

By Kayla Phillips

DULUTH, Ga.  |  Nearly 70 years since Macy’s Pink Pig™ made its grand debut in Atlanta, a new generation will now be able to enjoy this local tradition. The Pink Pig will return to Atlanta for this year’s Georgia Festival of Trees, offering Georgians a new twist on the holiday tradition.

Georgia Festival of Trees, the state’s largest holiday event focused on spreading holiday magic with a heart to end human trafficking, will take place at Gas South Convention Center from Saturday, November 23 to Sunday, December 1. The new Pink Pig will debut at the Opening Night Gala on Friday, November 22.

Stan Hall, CEO at Gas South District, says: “We are pleased for the Gas South Convention Center to be the new home of the Georgia Festival of Trees. The festival is the premier event to kick off the holiday season, and with this year’s grand debut of the Pink Pig, it’s the perfect time for our Gwinnett community to embrace this long-time  tradition.’’

Georgia Festival of Trees is an eight-day festival featuring a dazzling display of Christmas trees, wreaths, centerpieces and nativities for auction. The festival also offers live music and entertainment on the main stage, Santa with his reindeer and life-size sleigh and Reindeer Games for the kids, which include the Elf Training Academy, the Lil’ Elves Driving Academy, LEGOs, Elf Phone Booth, North Pole Post Office and more. Guests can enjoy sugar cookie decorating, Santa’s Workshop, a Christmas Gingerbread House Competition and boutique shopping. Proceeds from the event will benefit two local nonprofit organizations on the front lines in the fight to end human trafficking: Street Grace and Atlanta Redemption Ink.

The Pink Pig is a pig-themed train for children and adults first created in 1953 by Rich’s. The new version will transport guests on a magical ride through the Georgia Festival of Trees and will be open each day from Nov. 23 to Dec. 1, except November 27-28 when the festival will be closed for Thanksgiving. The Pink Pig will cost $5 per rider. 

Georgia Festival of Trees Executive Director Angie Ulibarri says: “It’s an honor to bring back the Pink Pig to a new generation of Georgians Macy’s Pink Pig™ has been an iconic symbol of the holidays in Atlanta, and it’s exciting to officially ring in the holiday season with this timeless tradition.”

Each tree, wreath, centerpiece and nativity at the festival is designed, decorated and donated by individuals and organizations around the Southeast, providing a dazzling array of decorative options to enhance your holiday decor. Trees and other decor are auctioned off both in-person and online during the festival. 

Tickets to the Georgia Festival of Trees start at $13.95 for seniors ages 62 and up, and adult tickets are $18.95. Children’s tickets for ages 3-12 are $18.95 and include access to the Reindeer Games area. The Pink Pig, cookie decorating, Santa’s Workshop (a shopping experience for children) and photos with Santa are an additional cost. Gas South Convention Center is located at 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway in Duluth.

EEB PERSPECTIVE

Our daughter Catherine fought a terrific battle

Catherine Brack

By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum

AUG. 2, 2024  |  It has been a difficult time watching our daughter, Catherine, die. Neither Barbara nor I had been with someone who was dying before our eyes. Though we knew that with her six-year battle with cancer she was moving toward death, we will never be over it.

Catherine lived her life to the fullest, enjoying life, was most successful in her endeavors, and never showed any rancor. She knew she was dying, but fought it bravely.

She was active to the end. In late May, she volunteered to be one of two chaperones accompanying 20 students at the college where she worked for a two-week study in several cities of Greece. On a few days of the trip when she felt tired, she remained at the hotels. When the trip ended, she stopped by England for five days to visit a friend.

On top of this, she had just bought a new house, and returned to Charleson to move in her stored furniture. That in itself is exhausting.

The trip and move-in set her back. On July 12, she was admitted to the hospital, and found to have a partially collapsed lung. Doctors drained 1.1 liters of fluid from her lungs. She went home July 15 and never left her house again, cared for by home hospice.

We visited her twice in July. On her last Wednesday, we sat by her bed on several occasions and talked, though it was hard to understand her soft voice. But from time to time, she would squeeze my hand when I mentioned something.  That day she got out of bed and sat on the screened porch for 30 minutes.

On Thursday, she was weaker, but still responsive as we would talk to her. That day she even surprised us by getting up and putting on eye make-up.

But by Friday, on oxygen and finding it harder to breathe, she was not responsive to squeezing my hand. She knew it was her brother’s birthday, and she seemed to fight dying that day. The drugs kept her without pain.  But about 11 p.m., she breathed her last. 

Catherine made friends so easily, always smiling, and was especially close to her college friends from Vanderbilt. During her first cancer treatments six years ago, 50 of her friends, many from Vanderbilt, visited during her sickness, with some staying with her at her house in Charleston. At the end of that first round of treatment, thinking she was cancer free, at her 50th birthday, Catherine had a party for those visitors, 56 people in all, at a seafood restaurant by the marsh. She had lost most of  her hair by that time, but it had grown back about an inch long. She dyed it pink for the occasion. We thought cancer was no more.

But time and time again, cancer came back. She underwent 85 chemo sessions, plus lots of radiation, and took all sorts of drugs that tired her body. But she kept fighting.

Among Catherine’s gifts, one of her Vanderbilt friends, Stephanie Shields, now of Sarasota, Fla., arrived 16 days before her death. She was her steady caretaker during her last days. What a blessing she was to Catherine, and to us. Thank you, Stephanie, from the bottoms of our hearts!

What a wonderful legacy she lived! What a wonderful life she gave us! We are so proud of her!

Catherine Coleman Brack, 1969-2024: May you rest in peace.

FEEDBACK

Guy from Harbins community is in the Olympics

Editor, the Forum: 

No doubt you know about this Paris Olympian, Will Hinton, aiming for a gold medal in shooting.  To add a little info, he has deep roots in Dacula, in that his family has lived in the Harbins Community for at least five generations.  Quite a novelty, I suspect!

Elaine Still, Braselton

More on reverse mortgages and recent flights on Delta

Editor, the Forum:

Very good article by Sara Rawlins regarding reverse mortgages.  While we deem them an option of last resort, they can and do work for those, like Sara, who do their homework.

On another subject, I’ve flown Delta for years and continue to appreciate them.  We flew out July 23 to Westchester County from Atlanta and are traveling again as I write this.  All on Delta. All has gone smoothly. No hiccups. No delayed flights. Ticket counters and gates fully staffed with competent knowledgeable Delta staff.

Several readers jump on Bernard’s viewpoints

Editor, the Forum:

I believe Jack Bernard’s column recently was not totally accurate. He used common Democrat talking points and lies. He also failed to mention that Trump told the crowd to march peacefully to the capitol, offered Pelosi the National Guard protection for the capitol building prior to the speech and stated that five people died that day and in fact only one did and she, a Trump supporter and unarmed,  was shot by a capital policeman. Sounds like he has Trump derangement syndrome. You may want to have a talk with him about accurate reporting. 

Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville

Dear Stew: GwinnettForum has no paid staff nor reporters. Bernard is a contributing editor in that he posts often. But he is offering opinion, not reporting facts, and sometimes draws fire from his readers.  And it appears that your “facts” and his do not match some of what we know.–eeb

Editor, the Forum: 

The other view by Jack Bernard is a true socialist view, Trump is not a dictator.  Harris and Biden talk about MAGA violence; it don’t exist. Harris trashed the border. Georgia is Trump country, not commie country. Sorry, but Bernard’s view is pure trash talk. And no substance.

– Ronald Schwartz, Dublin

Dear Ronald: Some of your views make me laugh. How in the world can Kamala Harris trash the border when everyone else knows the vice president has no power?–eeb

Editor, the Forum:

I think Hitler would fire Goebbels to hire Bernard.  And he’d fit right in.

If I put my mind to it, I think I could l put together a cogent and intelligent political column.  But it would be more like work than fun.  I write for my muse. 

– David Simmons, Norcross

Editor, the Forum: 

Bernard is always good for a laugh. 

– Bobbi Cromlish, Stone Mountain

Mega postal facilities just do not work as well

Editor, the Forum:

You are absolutely right about the postal mess coming out of Palmetto.  Regional centers, not mega centers,  work better for all of the obvious reasons you stated.  Hopefully, someone high up in the postal system will follow up on this.

Dorothye Abramson, Toccoa

UPCOMING

12th annual Light Up the Corners returns on Aug. 10

Peachtree Corners’ annual “Light Up the Corners” Twilight Trot and Glow Race is returning to the Forum on Peachtree on August 10 for its 12th year of building community, getting some exercise and benefitting a very worthy cause.

Amy Massey, the founder of Light Up the Corners, says her inspiration for the nonprofit came from serving on the board of the Fowler YMCA for 10 years.

“I was always looking for ways to raise money for [Fowler YMCA’s] annual campaign. And I rotated off about 12 years ago or 13 years ago. At that time, I was looking for ways to raise money, and the City of Peachtree Corners was talking about becoming a city,” she explained.

“I’m a runner and I was a member of the Y, and we had a running group out of the Y. So, I just recruited some of my running friends and decided we would start a race in Peachtree Corners,” Massey adds.

In its first year, the race had roughly 400 participants. Her team of volunteers quickly started brainstorming on how to attract more runners.“We talked about doing a glow run, and that’s when it changed. So, in year two, we did our first glow run. This year will be our 11th annual glow run and our 12th run altogether. And then we took one year off during COVID,” said Massey.

This year, Light Up the Corners expects over 1,500 attendees.

Massey says: “What sets us apart is that our largest demographic in terms of age groups is the 10 to 19 range. A lot of school-age kids come out, a lot of young kids with their parents. We have 300 little kids who sign up for the Twilight Trot, which is just half a mile long. And so that attracts the little ones. It’s heartwarming to see people of all ages come together and it’s a healthy fitness-focused, family-friendly community activity.” 

In addition to two races: a Twilight Trot 1K for the kids, and a 4-mile Glow Race for the adults, the Forum will be showcasing its new plazas. The pre-party and Glow after party will be held on the Grand Plaza which is set to open on that weekend.

“We welcome runners, walkers and people of all ages. It is more about the fun and the excitement of coming together as a community than it is about racing or setting any speed records,” she added.

On top of that, race sponsors will be providing food and samples throughout the night, such as pizza, watermelon and a wide variety of other tastings from The Peachtree Forum restaurants.

To participate in the annual “Light Up the Corners Glow Run,” register at lightupthecorners.com or simply line up on the racecourse and cheer the runners on as a spectator.

GGC stays cool while reducing electricity use 

Earlier in 2024, underground pipes were installed around the campus in preparation for the new chiller system. Photo provided.During the dog days of summer, the temperatures soar, and so do electric bills. At Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC), the buildings remain comfortably cool thanks to a project that started 10 years ago.

GGC’s initial campus buildings were constructed with each using individual air conditioning units located adjacent to the buildings. In early 2015, GGC completed a study to coordinate the campus utility systems with the planned architectural growth. The study focused on developing reliable, energy efficient and sustainable systems for cooling the entire campus.  

Terrence Schneider, GGC’s associate vice president of facilities and chief of police, says:  “The study determined a centralized chiller system would increase efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and reduce our electricity consumption by as much as 60 percent. This system will need less electricity to run and ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is good for the environment.”

Vance Nall, PE, of RMF Engineering, Inc., who serves as a consultant to this project, adds: “In addition to the energy efficiency, a district chilled water system provides significant returns in reduced operating and maintenance costs.” 

The central energy plant with the chiller system is part of the college’s Gateway project, which also includes the construction of the Convocation Center that is scheduled to open in October. The plant currently houses the first chiller with room for expansion. The entire chiller project will cover the span of 30 years and will cost approximately $20M. 

Schneider also says: “We knew then that investing in a system that is more technologically flexible would allow for the campus to evolve and grow efficiently. A water-cooled system can last 25 years, while the current air-cooling systems last 15 years.”

The first phase of the chiller project, completed in 2017, started with the Student Center and the Daniel J. Kaufman Library and Learning Center. Two years later, it expanded to include Building C. 

In 2023, the campus infrastructure phase of the Gateway project got underway to install underground piping to connect the Student Center, library and an additional portion of Building C to the system. 

Looking ahead to 2025 and 2026, plans call for the central plant to be fully connected and also include the classrooms and labs for Building H and the Convocation Center. “At that point we’ll start retiring individual chillers that have been serving the buildings for 15 to 24 years,” says Schneider. The entire project is scheduled for completion in 2030.

Gateway85 building new sidewalk at Meadowcreek 

After 30 years of navigating an uneven footpath in front of Meadowcreek High School in Gwinnett County, students will finally have a safe path that improves their mobility to school courtesy of Gateway85 Community Improvement District (CID). A ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the sidewalks along Steve Reynolds Boulevard will be Tuesday, August 13, at 9 a.m. 

This new 600-foot sidewalk not only completes a crucial gap, connecting Beaver Ruin Road to Indian Trail Road, but also addresses safety and mobility challenges faced by the school community. The new sidewalk will provide a secure and reliable route for students and community members, linking the school with neighboring apartments where many students live. Gateway85 has designed and built more than 17 miles of sidewalks throughout the district over the past 15 years, significantly improving connectivity.

The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory,  by Tim Alberta

From John Titus, Peachtree Corners: Alberta is a journalist, a practicing Christian, and the son of a Presbyterian pastor. The book’s title is an excerpt from the final line of the Lord’s Prayer, which the author notes is possessive (thine) reserving them to God. The subtitle is American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism. In writing the book Alberta traveled to churches and convention halls across the country. He paints a disturbing portrait of the American evangelical movement which, rather than glorifying God, has attempted to achieve prominence over the past several years by emphasizing conservative political positions to win and keep members. Perhaps a question for all churches, across denominations, is this: How are we obeying the two great commandments, of loving God and loving our neighbor?

GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA

Sea Island is resort for wealthy near Brunswick

Sea Island is one of a series of barrier islands located off the coast of Georgia near St. Simons Island in Glynn County. Internationally known as a wealthy resort and cottage colony, the island is approximately five miles long and one and a half miles wide at its widest point. 

Once known as Fifth Creek Island by coastal Native Americans, Sea Island was largely uninhabited until the 1920s. By the early years of the 19th century, the island, then known as Long Island, had been acquired by John Couper of Cannon’s Point Plantation and his business partner James Hamilton of Hamilton Plantation. In 1814 the island was passed to James Hamilton when the partnership between the two men was dissolved. 

Later the island was acquired by William Audley Couper, who in 1845 sold it to his brother James Hamilton Couper. The Coupers used the island to pasture cattle during the summer months. In 1888 the heirs of James Hamilton Couper sold the island to James F. O’Shaughnessey, a member of the Jekyll Island Club, to use as a hunting preserve. In 1921, a group of local businessmen formed a company to subdivide the island for vacation cottages. The completion of a causeway between the mainland and St. Simons made Sea Island accessible to the public in 1924.

Two years later the development of the island as a beach resort captured the imagination of Howard Coffin, an Ohio native and a founder of the Hudson Motor Company. Coffin had acquired nearby Sapelo Island as a coastal retreat in 1912, and he began buying large tracts on St. Simons in 1926. As a pioneer in automotive design, Coffin envisioned how the transportation revolution brought about by the automobile could transform the inaccessible Georgia islands into tourist destinations, once the coastal highway, U.S. 17, reached nearby Brunswick. His company, Sea Island Investments, bought Long Island that same year, briefly renaming it Glynn Isle before adopting the name Sea Island.

Coffin commissioned Addison Mizner, noted for his work in Palm Beach and Boca Raton, Fla., to design a small hotel, which opened as the Cloister in October 1928. A beach club, fishing dock, tennis courts, and shooting school were built near the hotel. North of the resort, a colony of private cottages developed along a three-mile drive down the center of the island. A golf club, riding stables, and yacht club for the Cloister were located on St. Simons Island.

In 1928 Coffin turned over the administration of the resort to his young cousin, Alfred W. Jones, who steered it through the difficult years of the Depression. In 1966 Alfred W. Jones Jr. succeeded his father as president of the Sea Island Company and then in 1997 Alfred W. Jones III was appointed chairman and chief executive officer. 

The property expanded rapidly in the early 2000s. In 2003 the original building was razed, and construction began on a new structure designed by Peter Capone. Featuring 70 hotel rooms and 30 suites, the new structure opened in April 2006.

The 2008 financial crisis destabilized the resort, as many of the previous renovation projects had been funded by real estate ventures. Visitation declined, revenue dropped substantially, and proposed upscale development projects never came to fruition. The Sea Island Company lost an estimated $97 million in 2008 and another $78 million in 2009. Hundreds of employees were laid off. Following a failed loan restructuring attempt in 2009, the resort defaulted again and filed for bankruptcy in 2010. 

A group of investors formed the Sea Island Acquisitions, LLC and acquired the property later that same year. In 2016 the Anschutz family of Denver, Colo. bought out three other investors to become the owner of Sea Island. The resort consistently receives the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star ratings, and wealthy visitors still flock to Sea Island. (The Anschutz family also owns The Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs.)

A week ago, the Mystery Photo was close to home, as Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. recognized. Allan wrote:  This mystery photo is of a hilltop terrace plaza, called Suwanee Circle, sitting in the northwest corner of the recently completed expansion of the Suwanee Town Center on Main at the intersection of Suwanee Dam Road and Delay Lane. The city broke ground on the 25-acre property in September 2022 with a view to offer walking trails, a veterans’ memorial, sports facilities, and an open lawn for music events. A pedestrian tunnel provides access to Town Center.” The photo came from Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill. 

Other readers correctly identifying the mystery were Tonya Aumack, Lilburn; Jim Savadelis, Duluth; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Matthew Holtkamp, Buford; and George Graf, Palmyra, Va.;
