Pine straw and pansies might help Gwinnett transit
By Laurie McClain
Member, Gwinnett Transit Advisory Board
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. | After serving on the board of my Homeowners’ Association (HOA) for five years, in 2005, I formed a professional HOA management firm to help other boards manage HOAs. They would have an annual meeting to discuss the upcoming year’s budget. Every year, homeowners would complain about why there is a need to raise dues.
McClain
I learned, and subsequently taught, my Board presidents the concept of “Pine Straw and Pansies.” What does pine straw and pansies have to do with transit in Gwinnett? Nothing. But it has everything to do with getting folks on board to agree to tax themselves (or raise their dues)to provide services to the community.
You see, I would encourage my boards to immediately provide some sort of tangible, visible improvement to their community. Even a small thing like pine straw and pansies at the front entrance would show homeowners that they are receiving some sort of benefit for their dues.
Homeowners, like voters, just want to know that their dues (tax dollars) are being used wisely. Gwinnett County has spent millions of dollars and thousands of staff and volunteer hours to put together a “plan” that voters will agree is worth their tax dollars.
And they have done this numerous times, all to no avail. In the meantime, the age – old argument of “empty buses,” continues to abound. If the buses we have now are empty most of the time, why would I vote to tax myself to provide even more empty buses? It’s a valid question.
I would like to suggest that Gwinnett stop trying to create a plan that is all things to all people. Instead, focus on small, adaptable steps that maximize ridership and show voters there is a need and a benefit.
Each plan that Gwinnett has put out to voters in the last 10 years has been enormous. All have been overwhelming and incredibly expensive.
Instead, consider a three-year T-SPLOST pilot program that provides “micro transit” in the areas where there is an urgent need. Also continue to tweak the bus routes we have now (that we can’t discontinue because of federal regulations) so that they aren’t “empty.” Prove that there’s a demand and that it solves a problem, and you will get more support.
Gwinnett should also show that we all understand that COVID taught us that many of us can work from home. (Fact – we have still not returned to pre-COVID levels of ridership.) Technological improvements happen exponentially.
The last iteration called for installing infrastructure that is designed to provide services ten years from now at a cost of billions of dollars over 30 years. That was just counter intuitive. Ignoring this reality is insulting to voters and they have shown the Board of Commissioners how they feel.
Let’s stop the insanity. Reconsider the need for a “massive” transit plan for Gwinnett.
Let’s recognize that this is the 21st century and change happens very rapidly. Give us some pine straw and pansies so we know we are making progress.

Donate through Salvation Army online red kettles
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
DEC. 6, 2024 | “Ding-a-ling. Ding-a-ling. Ding-a-ling.”
These days you are hearing the Salvation Army bellringers time you get out of your car at many shopping arenas. These “ding-a-ling” sounds remind you to drop a few coins or dollars into the red kettles to help support others through the Salvation Army at Christmas.
It’s a 133-year-old tradition throughout our country. The kettle collections started accidentally in San Francisco in 1891 when a local Salvation Army Captain Joseph McFee publicly promised to feed 1,000 destitute people near Fisherman’s Wharf.
To raise the money for this feed, McFee found an old lobster pot and came up with the slogan “Keep the pot boiling.” He then set up on the waterfront to offer the pot for people to chip in their change to feed those destitute.
The bell tradition began in 1900 with a teenage volunteer Amelia Kunkein New York City. She was apparently frustrated by the many bankers on Wall Street who walked by and ignored her. Kunkel went to a nearby Woolworth’s department store and bought a small bell for ten cents. The rest is history, with the Army’s kettles helping the needy in 131 countries. The money dropped into the kettles help make Christmas brighter for many.
Miller Sr.
We first found ourselves interested in the Salvation Army through the former National Commander Andy Miller, who had the top job in the USA. He had spent some of his years in Atlanta, and he and his wife decided to retire in Gwinnett County, where we met him.
What an inspirational leader he was! It was through him we learned that Salvation Army officers are not in their profession for money, but to serve others.
We found out that Commissioner Miller and his wife, while living in New York, were paid $33,000. (This was the time when the American Red Cross leader was paid $300,000). Other local Army officers also are paid accordingly. The salary structure tells you a whole lot about the way the Army operates. Year after year, the Salvation Army is the nation’s most respected charity.
Lately, lifestyle changes developed which has thrown the red kettle collections for a loop. Americans no longer keep cash in their pockets as they once did. Instead, many people no longer have pennies, dimes and dollars on them at all, but rely upon credit cards. With less cash in circulation, kettle collections have dropped. Yet the need to help our growing population, especially at Christmas, has widened. Is the Salvation Army’s efforts at providing aid from kettle collections being threatened? Yes. But the Army has found a new method for us to give.
You may have guessed it. Yes, you may now give to the Army through the internet, as many do. But listen to this twist: you can also help the Army now through online red kettles! You may hear the “ding-a-ling” in your ear when you start thinking of the online red kettles!
If you feel inclined to help others through the Salvation Army online red kettle, open your heart and your treasure and go to the following website which we have created.
When you give at this site, your gift will be matched up to $2,000 total, making your giving go even farther. Capt. Paul Ryerson of the Lawrenceville Salvation Army says that all of the money raised through this site will go to help people residing in Gwinnett County.
Please give and feel good about it.
Then hear the Salvation Army bell ringing in your ear: “Ding-a-ling. Ding-a-ling. Ding-a-ling!”

Feels local input is preferable and more unique
Editor, the Forum:
This county blog focuses far too much on national politics. Even worse, the national content isn’t novel. Regional content is rare and often more actionable. It can lead to a (or shape an existing) regional identity.
I propose one way to find what is “interesting” is to consider what is ubiquitous. Economies of scales have narrowed the news to national headlines. It is where we dwell. Our minds marinate in it to the point we have trouble thinking of anything else.
I am a Nextdoor moderator. People are compelled to bend the most innocuous topics towards national headlines. I notice the compulsion because it is new. Fewer notice the imbalance between local and national news because it is growing ubiquitous.
Calling back to my original proposition: non-national is interesting because it is less common. Find local stories. Demonstrate how to resist the riptide of national talking points when we engage a topic. Or maybe show us how to touch upon a national sentiment without the discussion being enslaved to it. Do this and you nudge our regional identity towards something healthier.
I hope the best for you and the GwinnettForum. That is why I write.

Youth phone usage should be controlled by parents
Editor, the Forum:
I disagree about the Australian view of cell phones for children. It is up to the parents to watch what their children do on their phones. We need to teach our kids to be aware of the pitfalls and not hide it from them.
Now the responsibility of the phone companies is to limit the age of people who purchase a Smartphone and perhaps give an alternative between the flip phone and a smartphone.
As far as what the child is looking at on their computer, it’s back to the parents. AI will be coming down the pike and we need to teach our kids the pitfalls of that new technology. There is a school in Texas that is already doing that work.
Last word: toughen up our children and enlighten parents.
– Barbara Warden, Norcross
Likes the thinking of the Aussies
Editor, the Forum:
Thank God for the Australians and their bold and creative ideas on the problem associated with the downside of social media.
– Gary Christensen, Chamblee
Here are his viewpoints on current issues
Editor, the Forum:
Comments on recent issues:
- The use of the cell phone and internet by our children should be closely monitored by their parents and they(parents) should be held accountable.
- The presidential campaign was lost because Ms. Harris ran against the person and not against the problems i.e., inflation and border control.
- “To the victor go the spoils “ including cabinet picks and other appointments .
- No one dislikes those who come here lawfully and are seeking a better life for themselves and their family.
- On presidential pardons: most prior presidents have used them when they thought there was a miscarriage of justice or sentencing.

She’ll bring the popcorn for next year’s wailing
Editor, the Forum:
I will be waiting in the wings with my “I told you so” card when all heck breaks loose next year. It’s funny how some people can’t see past the misdeeds of felons that somehow goes against decency and their better judgment. I’ll bring the popcorn, someone else bring the whiskey (while we can still afford it). We are all going to need it.
– Sara Rawlins, Lawrenceville
Another way to tackle the gift problem at Christmas
Editor, the Forum:
Already I am hearing people agonize over how they are going to “get everything done” this holiday season and how they “have to” buy gifts for so many people. My family has solved this problem and I thought I would share our solution. We no longer exchange physical Christmas gifts. We came to this decision after years of stressing out over what to buy each other and usually missing the mark.
Years ago, I was the first to rebel. I suggested that no one buy me anything for Christmas but, instead, tell me how they would like to share a special time with me during the coming year. I did the same. It turned out to be a thought provoking, personal experiment.
Eventually, all the adults stopped buying gifts and now we think of ways to share special one-on-one time together. This gives us something to look forward to, releases stress, and frees up time we can focus on enjoyable holiday activities.

County completes purchase of 23 acre Macy’s site
The Urban Redevelopment Agency of Gwinnett County has finalized the $16.5 million purchase of the 23-acre Macy’s department and furniture store properties at Gwinnett Place Mall, marking a key advancement in the redevelopment of the site.
The eventual redevelopment will transform the mall site into a mixed-use complex and is projected to bring both catalytic change and new opportunities to Gwinnett residents and businesses. With this acquisition, the Urban Redevelopment Agency and Gwinnett County own a combined total of 76 acres on the Gwinnett Place Mall site.
Gwinnett County Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson says: “This purchase is critical for us to attract top development partners in 2025, and together work toward creating a revitalized urban hub for Gwinnett County residents, entrepreneurs and businesses.”
Two public input studies, the Equitable Redevelopment Plan and the Gwinnett Place Mall Site Revitalization Strategy, identified community needs for the redevelopment of the mall site and surrounding area.
Gwinnett County is partnering with CBRE, a real estate services firm with global expertise, to advance and refine plans for the redevelopment. The county plans to begin its selection process for a development partner with the nationwide release of a request for proposals in the first quarter of 2025. The Macy’s department and furniture stores will be leased back to Macy’s for continued operations through early 2025.
Former New Jersey resident finds success at GGC
Mallory. Photo provided.
Nia Mallory wasn’t expecting to discover a second home when she came to Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) in 2019. But the more time she spent on campus, the more at home she felt.
“At first, I chose GGC because it was close to home and affordable, making it a practical choice,” she says. “However, as I immersed myself in campus life and got more involved, I found myself genuinely appreciating what GGC had to offer. The more time I spent here, the more I grew to love the community, the opportunities and the unique experiences that have shaped my journey.”
Mallory was born in Newark, N.J., and was raised by her mom, Sharon, a teacher, and her dad, Perry, an entrepreneur who helped small business startups. She initially came to GGC to study nursing, but changed course when she discovered the patient navigator program, which trains students to guide patients through the country’s complex health care system.
GGC is one of only a few schools nationally offering a program in patient navigation, which is a concentration within the college’s Bachelor of Science in health science degree.
She carried the spirit of service that runs through the patient navigator program into her life outside the classroom by serving as a resident assistant (RA) in the residence halls on campus for three years. She said that becoming an RA was a leap of faith, but it pushed her to grow as a leader.
“Being an RA is more than just making sure people follow the rules and telling them when it’s quiet hours,” says Mallory. “It’s about supporting people and creating a home for them in an unfamiliar environment.”
“The responsibility grew when she became a senior RA in 2022, responsible for an entire building, but so did her commitment to making GGC feel like a welcoming, inclusive place where everyone can belong,” she says. “Living in student housing gave me an intimate view of college life, with all its highs and lows, and I saw firsthand the struggles we often face quietly. My RA experience taught me that every individual in a community makes an impact, and our shared experiences and openness about our struggles weave together to create something extraordinary.”
Mallory also served as president of the Greenlight Activities Board (GAB), a student-run group that plans, advertises and staffs campus events for students.
“My role in Greenlight taught me that a true sense of community doesn’t just happen” she said. “It’s built day by day by people who care, by moments of shared laughter and connection, by every time we show up for one another.”
It wasn’t always easy for her either, she said. There were plenty of times she had moments of doubt and wondered if she would fail to graduate.
“But every setback became a lesson in resilience, and every time I felt unsure, the GGC community was there to lift me,” she says. “The support I received from God, my family, friends, classmates and mentors reminded me that I wasn’t alone in this journey.”
After graduation, Mallory plans to explore different career fields and gain experience before pursuing a graduate degree.
Jackson EMC refunds $16 million to its members
Approximately 237,000 current and former members of Jackson EMC will receive their share of a total of $16 million in margin refund checks in December.
After this December’s refund, Jackson EMC will have refunded $220 million in margin refunds to its member-owners since the cooperative was founded in 1938.
Each year, any revenues remaining after covering the cost of providing electricity are reinvested by Jackson EMC to enhance its distribution system—upgrading poles, transformers, substations, and related equipment. Surplus revenues are then returned to our members as margin refunds.
Rodney Chandler, chairman of the Jackson EMC Board of Directors, says: “We focus on member service, not profits. Jackson EMC has a long history of providing safe, reliable and affordable electricity to members, and also a great history of returning surplus margins back to our members.”
Margins are refunded for a combination of years, so former, long-term and newer members benefit from belonging to an electric cooperative, like Jackson EMC. This year, margin refunds will go to those who received electric service from Jackson EMC in 1998, 1999, 2000 and/or 2023. The amount of each member’s refund check is based on the amount each member paid for electric service during those years.
James by Percival Everett
From Karen J. Harris, Stone Mountain: When Jim learns he is about to be sold to a plantation in New Orleans, and Huck fakes his own death to escape from his abusive father, Pap Finn, they set off together on a dangerous but life affirming journey down the Mississippi River. Along the way they face significant dangers and meet several unusual characters, some helpful, and some potentially deadly. Along the way there are moments of laugh out loud, joy and humor at the hand they have been dealt and their unwavering loyalty to each other. Sound familiar? Percival Everett has re-fashioned Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn into a rollicking great read. The imagery and characterizations are spellbinding and the ending an affirmation of the worth of every man regardless of his color. James is a story that everyone should read for the story it is and the message it states loud and clear.

Christian rock group, Third Day, once popular
A popular contemporary Christian rock groups of the new millennia, Third Day has released over a dozen albums, won several Grammy and Dove Awards, and was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 2009.
The band started in 1991 with Mac Powell and Mark Lee in Powder Springs, while the two were still attending McEachern High School. During their senior year the band, then called Nuclear Hoedown, played in small venues throughout Cobb County. At one performance Powell and Lee played with another group, consisting of Tai Anderson, David Carr, and Billy Wilkens. After being asked to pose together for a photograph, the two groups decided to reform as one band, Third Day, a name taken from biblical accounts of Jesus’s resurrection on the third day following crucifixion.
Third Day recorded their first demo in lieu of payment for a performance and then quickly recorded their first album, Contagious (1994), which was well received locally. Billy Wilkens left the band during recording, however, and the group replaced him with Brad Avery, who brought more of a rock-and-roll sound to their music. Third Day’s first big success came with their self-titled album, which was released in 1996. Critics had trouble categorizing their sound, labeling it as a mixture of southern rock, gospel, and pop music. At the same time the band’s positive, biblically based message established them as Christian music role models.
Due in part to constant regional touring, the band gathered a sizable audience and was able to launch a cross-country tour.
In spring 2001 the band gave a homecoming concert at HiFi-Buys Amphitheatre in Atlanta, where a crowd of 15,000 fans welcomed them. The band released an interactive DVD of the concert, the first of its kind for Christian music. Offerings II: All I Have to Give was released in early 2003.
In 2004 Third Day released their seventh studio album Wire and a live recorded version, Live Wire, later that year. They also contributed to a companion album to the film The Passion of the Christ, which won both Grammy and Dove awards in 2005. Their eighth studio album Wherever You Are was released in 2005, which earned the group another Grammy Award.
The group released a Christmas album in 2006 and Chronology, their first compilation of hits, in 2007. In 2008 the band announced the departure of guitarist Avery but the group continued recording and touring until 2018.
In 2018, Third Day disbanded after singing together for almost 25 years.
Powell and wife Aimee have five children ranging in age from 12 to 23, Powell said. When not spending time with family, he is also the director of music at Church of the Apostles in Atlanta, a position he took on Easter of 2020.

Identify not just the photo, but who’s in it
Today’s Mystery Photo is very local. What we want you to do is identify what’s happening in this photo, and for extra bonus for yourself, tell us who is in the photograph. The photograph comes from a stash of images we ran across recently.
The last Mystery Photo caused a ruckus, since again we ran a photo of an artwork that can be found in multiple locations. Several people named the art piece, but told of places other than the location that was depicted. The past Mystery Photo came from Paige Havens of Hoschton,
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. wrote: “Today’s mystery photo is of a painted steel sculpture called Horizontal, located on Square Verdrel in front of the Museum of Fine Arts in Rouen, France. It was created by Alexander Calder (1898-1976), an American sculptor and painter best known for his innovative kinetic sculptures that were naturally powered by the wind or by electric motors. Calder made his first wind mobile in 1932 and created almost 2,000 such sculptures over his lifetime. Horizontal is 26’H x 23’D x 19’W and is made of steel rods, bolts, and sheet metal. It was created in 1974 and is one of Calder’s last mobile sculptures before he died.”
Also recognizing it in the right location were George Graf, Palmyra, Va. and Scott Ogilvie of Rehobeth, Ala.
