A BUTTERFLY PROJECT has blossomed at the Duluth First United Methodist Church. This idea started last year before the pandemic, giving people from the entire church, both adults and kids, a project. With the butterfly a symbol of Easter, the Rev. Beth Shugart says, it was “God’s timing to celebrate Easter.” The 25-inch butterfly boards were provided by one group, and others completed the painting with their own design. Then the boards were sprayed to protect them, before being attached to posts and set along Lawrenceville Street in front of the church. Altogether, there were about 85 bright butterfly cut-outs along the road. Photo by Beth Brown Shugate.

Stop by April 12 to wish Bud Norman a “Happy Centennial”
Evelyn Nesbit “Bud” Norman.
By Gene Ramsey
NORCROSS, Ga. | Evelyn Nesbit Norman has been called “Bud” for her whole life. Her father, Verne Nesbit, was hoping that the new child that his wife, Rowena Medlock Nesbit, was expecting in April 1921 would be a boy, and he planned to call him Bud. But he got a new daughter instead and decided to call her Bud anyway. She has lived in Norcross for her entire life, except for a few years spent in Atlanta during World War I. She believes that Norcross is looking the best it ever has over her lifetime.
Norman
Bud’s roots in Gwinnett go back to before the 1818 creation of the county, during the War of 1812, at a time when there were few settlers in the area. Several local men were commissioned to build a wagon road between two of the Georgia Militia’s forts along the frontier, to facilitate transportation through what was at that time mostly wilderness. The effort was led by William Nesbit (Bud’s great great grandfather). One of the crew he assembled was led by Isham Medlock (Bud’s great great great grandfather). (As an aside, due to a large peach tree growing near the fort in what would become Atlanta, the road became known as the Peachtree Road, the first of many in this area to bear this name one way or another!)
Bud attended school at the “Castle on the Hill”, the two-story brick school building that was located where the entrance to Lillian Webb Park is found today on College Street. She graduated in the class of 1939, after finishing the 11th grade (that was the end of secondary school in those days.) She and local boy, Ralph Norman, married in 1942, living at first in Norcross and then in Atlanta, with Bud staying there while Ralph served in the army during World War II.
Not long after Ralph returned from his military service in Burma, the couple came from Atlanta to Norcross on his day off to visit family and for him to get a haircut. When they arrived in Norcross, they were surprised to find a big crowd on South Peachtree Street, including Bud’s father, who informed them that the excitement was because of the auction of a house, taking place “on the premises” there later that day. Bud had visited this particular house many times as a young girl, as she was related to the family that lived there then, and loved it. Ralph had never been inside the house. They decided to bid on the property, and with the help of Bud’s father, they put in the winning bid: $6,225.00. Bud recalls that when the bidding was done Ralph said, “Come on Bud. Let’s go inside and see what we’ve bought!”
Ralph and Bud on their wedding day
The couple lived together in that house on South Peachtree for the rest of their long marriage, raising two daughters and a son there. Ralph worked across the street, well, sort of. He was a locomotive engineer for Southern Railway for 46 years, and over his career he regularly piloted trains over the Southern tracks moving through downtown Norcross, right across the street from their home.
Ralph passed away several years back, but Bud still enjoys living in the home that they bought together 75 years ago. Her favorite pastimes now include visiting with friends, sharing stories of the old days in Norcross (her memory remains sharp on the details!) and playing the tile game Rummikub. If you visit and are enticed into a game, you should expect it to be competitive – Bud is a skilled player with those tiles!
Mrs. Norman’s daughter, Bonnie Fitzpatrick of Hoschton, invites friends on April 12 from 1-4 p.m. to “drive by-drop by” her home at 297 South Peachtree Street in Norcross and wish her “…a Happy Centennial. We’ll have her outside unless it’s raining.” Ms. Fitzpatrick asks: “No gifts please.”

Modern world can’t get along without electricity, batteries
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
APRIL 9, 2021 | First came Ben Franklin, establishing a connection between lightning and electricity. Then Alessandro Volta developed the early battery. Soon Michael Faraday developed electric motor technology. George Ohm mathematically analyzed the electrical circuit. Many others made their own contributions to modern electricity, notably among them Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Werner von Siemens, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse.
We owe how we live in our modern life to these electrical pioneers.
Today electricity in all its forms runs our world. It is the underbelly without which the modern world would collapse.
Getting another electrical device at our home the other day, we realized how many modern marvels are powered by electricity, today not by plugging your device directly into the circuit and having a cord trail behind you, but on batteries. Now we’re not talking about those regular C cell, or AA or AAA batteries, which are ever more prevalent in children’s games, the clicker for your TV set, or even in a flashlight. We all have back-up batteries awaiting when the next battery is kaput on some device. Today we’re talking about specialty batteries.
Modern portable electric-powered tools come with their own type of rechargeable battery. Sure, you have to plug them into a charging device for the electric circuit to re-power them. But once re-charged, you can move about easily with the tool and do the job it’s specifically built to do, without getting your feet tangled with a cord. It’s much easier, thanks to a battery.
What devices? We’re talking about electric battery powered lawnmowers, blowers, screwdrivers and drills, vacuum cleaners and other specialized units. No telling which next task will find an answer in a battery-operated model.
We’re not forgetting electric automobiles. Just this week we read about a new electric Chevrolet pick-up truck that can get up to 400 miles before needing to recharge with more power. One limiting factor so far in vehicle use of batteries has been the sheer size of the battery and how much it weighs. Another limit on electric vehicles has been the number of charging stations needed, and the length of time it takes to charge the vehicle battery. This, too, is seeing continued development, with more recharging stations coming on continually.
And then Thursday United Parcel Service announced it would purchase 10 electric airplanes for a test of their use to deliver packages to small markets. They also said they have the option to buy 140 of these planes. No, the planes do not have long electrical cords, but a new technology battery, capable of a range of 250 miles, operational for an hour.
We suppose some day it will be routine to pull into an electric recharging station and “fill up” a car in nearly the time it takes to fill the tank with gasoline. By then, we’ll think little about it. It will be routine. Today it seems more in the “marvel” arena.
What that will mean is that some person, laboring away on a scientific experiment, will have developed a device that turned into uses he never expected, which will be helping us all. You can see that in items coming out of the space program, that are welcomed into modern uses.
Some of these products include everyday uses: scratch-resistant lenses, infrared ear thermometers; artificial limbs; LASIK, shock absorbers for buildings, solar cells; the insulin pump; heat-resistant suits for firefighters; DustBusters; wireless headsets; freeze-dried foods; camera phones; memory foam; workout machines; and even the portable computer. You can name many more.
But back to the point: many of these products, even the batteries, run basically off electricity. Boy, would Benjamin Franklin be amazed!

Guard voter rights, but also protect voting integrity
By Debra Houston, contributing columnist
LILBURN, Ga. | Coca-Cola and Delta should have disregarded Black Lives Matter’s bullhorn and stood firm in political neutrality regarding Georgia’s election reform. After all, Coke bottles beverages; I have never asked for its political opinion on any issue. Likewise, Delta is an airline, not a political party.
President Biden has called the new law “Jim Crow on steroids.” The president is comparing mandatory identification to an era when white-robed mobs lynched African Americans without fear of reprisal. And that’s just the tip of the terror iceberg. “Jim Crow” is not a frivolous phrase to be bandied about for political gain.
If you don’t have a driver’s license, you need a valid identification card from the Department of Driver Services. My mother acquired one in her 80s and it became her ticket to freedom. She could get checks cashed without hassle. Or have certain medications filled without question. Better yet, she could vote in person.
Television and cable networks critical of the new election law must have a license to broadcast their programs. Restaurants apply for a license to serve diners. Apple, who spoke against Georgia’s election reform, requires an identification number when customers load their computers and purchase their apps.
Identification provides a layer of protection against criminal activity like voter fraud. If you’re against voter I.D., then you’re in favor of individuals mailing in ten, twenty, or a hundred paper ballots — anonymously.
Sometimes we Americans don’t appreciate the fact that most people on this earth don’t have the privilege to vote. We must guard voter rights, indeed, but also protect voting integrity. True voter suppression is when Americans think elections are rigged and, as a result, don’t vote.

Several readers form opinions differing from voting column
Editor, the Forum:
Usually I enjoy reading your comments on issues but you have this one (voting limits) totally wrong. This bill is well written and corrects a lot of loose ends discovered by COVID mail-in voting. It expands voting days and allows drop boxes in the state law.
The voter ID system is now factual-not guessing signature: 97 percent have driver licenses, 2.7 percent have social security cards, so only 0.3 percent need a free state issue ID. Water can be given out at polls by poll workers, not water with the candidate’s name on it. Mandatory adding of machines if lines are long. This will actually help Republicans get elected as faith in the system has been corrected. Next time 400,000 Republicans will not stay at home as what happened in the two Senate seats runoffs.
— Sammy Baker, Lawrenceville
Editor, the Forum:
From a political point of view, your characterization of the recent legislation as a “voter suppression bill” does not surprise me, but from a journalistic perspective it shows bias and a lack of fairness.
The legislation as written has more positive points than it does negative implications, and compares favorably with existing legislation in other states. The narrative only works if it is repeated enough to insure a political agenda that it discourages fair voting practices. Georgia took this one on the chin, but it will not deter other states from passing similar legislation, which likely is the hope of those who promote this false and misleading view.
— Charles Summerour, Duluth
Editor, the Forum:
About your thought on the new voting bill, I couldn’t agree less with you. How is this voter suppression? How does it discriminate? Addressing the food and water issue, can you not see the potential for electioneering? Water can be provided by poll workers. Can you imagine just anybody handing out drinks wearing whatever candidate t-shirt or labeled water bottles with party affiliation on it. That, sir, is illegal. They must be 150 feet from the polls for that kind of politicking, by law.
I can only hope you haven’t been sucked in by the “Woke” culture presently exhibited in our society.
— Jim Savadelis, Duluth
Editor, the Forum:
I found your piece on Georgia’s new law to be uncharacteristically long on misinformation and short on facts. Even “progressive minded” folks need well-researched facts!
Please do a comparison of Georgia’s new law with absentee, early voting, and voter ID rules in Colorado (MLB’s move), Delaware (Biden), and New York (Schumer).
— Monte Nichols, Peachtree Corners
(Dear Sammy, Charles, Jim and Monte: Your comments were edited a little more tightly than normal to eliminate some repetition and for space. It always amazes me that each of us can read the same stories, yet draw entirely different conclusions from them. Absolutely amazing! We stand with our previous comments. –eeb)
Voting bill takes away from Raffensperger
Editor, The Forum:
The new Georgia voting law removes current power from local election boards and puts it in the Georgia Legislature. That’s the worst part of the scary new law.
The law punishes Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger because he mass-mailed absentee requests to all Georgia voters because of Covid. He also did not “find” new 2020 votes after outgoing President Donald Trump personally asked him.
He supervised three counts of the votes and said Georgia’s totals were correct and right. Now Raffensperger can have no part of the next state voting process.
The Legislature probably already knows who it will appoint to be responsible for future elections. The appointee can remove local board members and appoint new ones. He or she will NOT be answerable to the Georgia people.
== Alma Bowen, Gainesville
New voting bill certainly will misfire with big future turnout
Editor, the Forum:
Texas will not quietly forfeit its title of being the most difficult state to vote in, no matter what has transpired in Georgia. The Lone Star State is reportedly putting together an even more restrictive voting suppression bill.
One need not be a political student to see what happened here and is in the works for many other states.
The mythology of malfeasance in the 2020 Presidential election has morphed into elected Republicans wanting not just to change the rules, but in nearly 100 pages of new guidelines, to create a suppressive and restrictive document that clearly and obviously is intent on limiting historically Democratic voters, that is, African-Americans, the poor and people of color.
The hypocritical rationale that this will now improve the process is beyond hollow. How does making it harder for absentee voting, reducing drop boxes and taking over duties previously given to the Secretary of State, enhance anything? It does not!
And now Atlantans are angry that there is an economic price to pay for the loss of the Major League Baseball All-Star game and activist groups threatening boycotts of companies, who gave lots of money to those who helped cobble this bill together.
As Secretary of State, when running for governor, Governor Kemp removed more than 340,000 (80 percent African-Americans, Latinos, etc.) from the voting rolls, for reasons including them changing addresses or their last names not matching state records.
And so, we are left with a bill that will likely misfire as the disaffected will surely turn out in huge numbers in future state elections.

The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
This book is extraordinary for two reasons. It is a remembrance of the years of an English butler in a setting in postwar England. This person has spent his life in the service of a particular Englishman, caring for his every need, and managing the affairs of a large English house, with a cadre of various services. While taking time off for a country trip, something quite unusual for him, he begins to have some doubt about his service to his gentleman, looking back over his life. The other reason for this book being unusual is that it is written by a celebrated Japanese author, born in Nagasaki in 1954, who moved to England as a five years old. How he absorbed the understanding of the proper English life of a butler is incredible. This book won the Booker Prize, and in 2017 Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize for literature.—eeb

Branch of U.S. Mint established in Dahlonega in 1835
A branch of the United States Mint was established in Dahlonega in 1835, a decade after the nation’s first gold rush brought thousands of miners into north Georgia, and its first coins were issued in 1838. During the next 23 years the Dahlonega Mint coined more than $6 million in gold but did little to alleviate the nation’s chronic money shortage. The coins were too valuable to circulate locally, and most found their way into overseas trade.
The Branch Mint at Dahlonega was one of three mints chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1835. The others were in Charlotte, N.C., and New Orleans, La. The opening of the Dahlonega Mint coincided with the removal from Georgia of the last Cherokee Indians, whose word for either yellow or golden, talonega, gave the town its name. Ironically, by the time the first half eagles—$5 gold pieces—were minted on April 17, 1838, the region’s gold mines were nearly exhausted.
Several problems plagued both the builders and the operators of the mint. It took many weeks to get materials and machinery into the frontier town, and skilled labor was hard to find there. Local citizens, qualified or not, wanted jobs, and there was never a shortage of applicants. The director of the United States Mint in Philadelphia, Penn., complained that the institution in Dahlonega was a “neighborhood mint.” Certainly, it was in the thick of politics. The mint superintendent was always a partisan of whatever party was in office, and the jobs of assayer and coiner, requiring skills largely absent on the frontier, eventually became political plums as well.
Despite difficulties, coins minted in Dahlonega were of high quality and are still prized by coin collectors. Mint officers preferred making the larger and easier-to-coin half eagles, but they also produced quarter eagles, gold dollars, and for one year, three-dollar gold pieces. Business at the mint, often slow, increased markedly in the early 1840s when there was a major gold strike at a local mine, but it boomed after the California gold rush as Georgia miners brought ore home with them to be coined at the local mint.
When Georgia seceded from the Union in January 1861, the state took over the Branch Mint’s building and machinery. The Confederate States of America could not supply dies for coining, however, so the half eagles minted from the bullion on hand still bore the imprint of the United States of America. Unionists in north Georgia talked of seizing the mint and holding it for the Union.
The Confederate Congress closed the Branch Mint in June 1861, and for the rest of the Civil War (1861-65) a private assayer lived there and acted as caretaker.
During the Reconstruction era it was occupied by federal troops. Failing to sell the building, the U.S. government gave it to the trustees of North Georgia Agricultural College (later the North Georgia College and State University) in 1871. In 1873 the college’s students requested that military training be made a part of the school’s curriculum, initiating the start of the Corps of Cadets. In 1878 the old mint building burned, and a new college building, which still stands, was erected on the site. It is topped by a steeple leafed with Georgia gold.

Here’s what we consider a difficult Mystery Photo
If you thought the last Mystery Photo was difficult, we’ll think this one is ever more difficult. And here’s one hint: it’s not from around here. So put on your best thinking cap, and figure out today’s mystery. Send your idea to elliott@brack.neet and include your hometown.
Only Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. and Lou Camiero of Lilburn sent in the correct answers to the latest Mystery. They recognized the most impressive room in the Biltmore House nestled amongst the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, N.C. The photo came from Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
Peel wrote: “The Biltmore House was the vision of George Washington Vanderbilt (1862-1914), the grandson of famed industrialist and philanthropist Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877). George Vanderbilt began the process of building his “country home” in 1889. It was first opened six years later on Christmas Eve, 1895.
“Designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt, the Biltmore House is America’s largest house, with a living space of 178,926 square feet. To put that in perspective, this is over four acres in size, dwarfing the White House by a factor of three and putting the Hearst Castle (at “only” 70,000 square feet) to shame. This French Renaissance Chateau includes 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, and 65 fireplaces. It houses over 28,000 pieces of the Vanderbilt family’s original collection of furnishings, art and antiques, in addition to more than 23,000 books. The Banquet Hall is a massive, opulently decorated 3,024 square foot room with 70 feet-high ceilings, a huge triple fireplace and a pipe organ. The original dining table could extend to 40 feet-long and easily accommodate 64 guests. For a room-by-room tour of the Biltmore House, download a copy of a brochure published by the Biltmore House here.”
