Norcross to celebrate its sesquicentennial on Oct. 23
Norcross Railroad Depot, 2017.
By Nicole Newsom
NORCROSS, Ga. | After postponing the city’s 150th sesquicentennial anniversary event in 2020 for COVID-19 precautions, the City of Norcross will celebrate its 150th (+1) birthday on Saturday, October 23, 2021. The event will be in Lillian Webb Park from 4 to 10 p.m., and promises to be worth the wait! CDC guidelines will be followed.
Mayor Craig Newton gushes when he says proudly: “For me – for us all – it is arguably the most important day on the city’s calendar this year: a day when we remember the founding of our city and the impact we’ve had as Gwinnett’s second oldest city. We are indebted to the men and women who had the vision that led to the creation of the City of Norcross back in 1870, and all who have contributed to the leadership and vision of our city since.”
In a nod to the city’s history as a baseball town, Lillian Webb Park has been chosen as the event’s location. The park was previously the site of the city’s baseball field, where the semi-pro Norcross Nuggets would play on Saturday afternoons. Norcross is said to have produced more professional baseball players per capita than any other town in the nation—at the same time, four major leaguers came out of a town with a population of perhaps 1,000. And there were other minor leaguers who called Norcross home as well. Local boy Roy Carlyle even hit a major league record home run measuring 618 feet.
Additional nods to baseball have been incorporated throughout the event, from ballgame food and activities to appearances by Norcross High School baseball team and Chopper of the Gwinnett Stripers.
Food trucks and vendors will be on site throughout the event on the upper level of Lillian Webb Park. A Kids Zone with bounce houses, an inflatable baseball game, face painting, stilt walkers and more will be open throughout the event and will also be located on the upper level of Lillian Webb Park. The city is now accepting vendor applications.
Two giant, outdoor LED projector screens will be placed on the lower level of the park. Screenings will start at 4:15 p.m. with the movie The Sandlot, while later there will be a live sports broadcast. Live music will kick off at 6 p.m. on the festival stage located on the lower lawn of Lillian Webb Park.
The celebration will culminate with a fireworks show at 9:30 p.m. over the park.
Citizens can help the city celebrate its birthday by donating to the cause! Lions Club is partnering with the city to collect donations of children’s pajamas (ages 3 months to 18 years), travel-sized personal care products and financial contributions to the district’s funds for Childhood Cancer Support. Collection bins will be stationed throughout Lillian Webb Park. Bring donations to drop off at the event.

Handsome 5-story Baptist center on Sugarloaf could be razed
The building when first erected. File.
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
OCT. 8, 2021 | The five-story stately building housing the Georgia Baptist Missions and Ministry Center at 6405 Sugarloaf Parkway may eventually be destroyed, as a developer wants to purchase the 43 acre property. However, for this to happen, the property must be rezoned. The property is now zoned for residential, office and general business use.
JLB Partners of Dallas, Tex. hopes to develop 585 apartments on the site, which is across Sugarloaf Parkway from the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce and the Gas South District arena. In a second phase of development, the Toll Brothers of Fort Washington, Penn. plan to erect 122 townhouses, priced at $400,000, at the entrance to the property. Toll Brothers is also building more than 700 apartments currently in DeKalb County.
The project is undergoing a regional impact study by the Department of Community Affairs to determine infrastructure and traffic aspects of the project. After that study, before it is developed, Gwinnett County would have to rezone the property for mixed-use.
Back in April, 2021, the Baptist Missions and Ministry Center announced that a contract had been signed to sell the property. That called for the closing on the sale before April 14, 2022, Thomas Hammond, the Center’s executive director, has said.
The idea of selling the Baptist Missions Center was announced nine years ago. Back on March 20,2012, the building which was then the headquarters of the Georgia Baptist Convention (GBC), was being offered for sale, along with its prime real estate. The building was built for $22 million in 2005 and occupied by the GBC.
Former GBC Executive Director J. Robert White, who lives in Duluth, said he originally had interests from private entities to explore the sale. White is quoted then as saying: “The building and its location speaks for itself so we have no reason to list it,” White said. “The property is highly desirable and interest grows on a regular basis.” This week White said that several groups looked at the building interest over the years, “but never came up with the money needed.”
The Georgia Baptist Convention had moved to the site from its own building on the Mercer University campus on Flowers Road in Atlanta. Initially, the Sugarloaf site was fully utilized. However, at the recession of 2008, White said, “Money got tight in churches, and they were hurting financially. Churches had to redirect to meet church operations, and everything slowed down. Nobody did well, and we had some reduction in receipts of the convention. We were really pleased we continued to stay afloat.” He also added in 2012: “We are not bankrupt and we are up to date on all our financial obligations.”
The Convention had a staff of over 100 working at the building, but had a layoff in 2009-10, leaving space unoccupied in the building. There were other layoffs, and today less than half of the building is occupied.
White retired from the GBC on Dec. 31, 2018. Immediately afterward, he was elected president and chief executive officer of the Georgia Baptist Health Care Ministry Foundation, a post he held for two years.
Over the years, Georgia Baptists have been selling many of their properties. In 1997, downtown Atlanta’s nearly 100-year old Georgia Baptist Hospital was sold to Tenet Healthcare of Dallas, Tex. for approximately $200 million and changed its name to Atlanta Medical Center. Effective March 31, 2016, the hospital (and four more in Atlanta) was sold for $575 million to Wellstar Health System, which operates them today.
In 2002, Northside Hospital purchased for $121.5 million the Baptist Medical Center in Cumming and renamed it Northside Hospital-Forsyth.

GOP was also “Grand Old Idea,” but today is not the same
By Ashley Herndon
OCEANSIDE, Cal. | Yes, Virginia, there were actually some good old days. One example: The Republican Party. It was not always so mucked up. It was not only the GOP (Grand Old Party) but it was also the GOI (Grand Old Idea) that made sense and did good. Yes, those were the G.O.D., the Good Old Days!
Herndon
It was a principled, effective, and tough group. It kept itself and its opposition sane and on track. That was then; but here we are now.
The world still has good ideas, but these are not always run by good people, but with our human nature…that is the big OOPS. My dad used to quote an expressive political commentator’s view of our social/political/economic system and its functionality. He felt Walt Kelly’s Pogo cartoon explains it rather well, with its simple yet famous line: “We have met the enemy and he is us!”
“We, The People” has been misconstrued and gets distorted and run over by some folks who have an opposing nature to the original GOP and its GOI. That nature is exhibited almost daily by the recently deposed ex-chief executive, his followers, and money sources (both stateside and foreign). Such folks always seem to find each other, then go about misusing and abusing power, even when out of office.
Thank goodness for the many politicians and elected folks of both parties who took the oath to uphold the Constitution, and continue to do so. It is forever written on many of their hearts in a bond of commitment to honor. For others, they see the Constitution as a toy to employ, to talk about extensively, but seldom really employ. Their every action bears watching because of transactional greed, ego, self-indulgence, and self-worship abounds.
This is more than a time of dangerous mixed messages. It is as Patrick Henry advised, “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”
Here’s another quote of Henry’s that is immutable: “The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.”
Patrick Henry’s words need consideration today. Why? Because of the obstructionist nature of the New Republican Party. They have drifted away from the Grand Old Party. Their intent to sprint away from investigations that search for facts poses the distinct possibility they are aware of intense fraud, conspiracy, threatened murder, and other crimes, of which they could be proven to be guilty when discovered.
Walt Kelly lampooned Senator Joseph McCarthy during his brief but alarming rudeness in 1950s Washington. Kelly named him “Simple J. Malarkey.” That name resonates in a couple of current Congressional mucky mucks.
Someday we may look back and consider these the “Good old days,” but they are a pale and troubled version of what I remember as a more reasonable time.

Tour of Mt. Carmel Church cemetery will be on Oct. 17
Mount Carmel Methodist Cemetery
A history tour of the cemetery at Mt. Carmel Church in Peachtree Corners will be held on Sunday, October 17, at 1 p.m. Local historian Gene Ramsey will lead the tour. The church is located at 5100 South Old Peachtree Road, Peachtree Corners.
This church and its graveyard, dating back to the 1820s, are located on the original Peachtree Road. Families buried there have lent their names to many local thoroughfares and landmarks, such as Medlock Bridge Road, Simpsonwood Park and Lou Ivy Road.
Attendees will hear many fascinating tales of Mt. Carmel and Pinckneyville’s past, including stories of
- Veterans and families affected by the War of 1812, World War I and other conflicts from our nation’s past;
- A couple whose buggy ride was interrupted by a spur-of-the-moment marriage;
- A family who abandoned the hustle and bustle of Atlanta for peaceful Gwinnett – in 1870; and
- A pioneering family whose descendants were struck by a tragic plane crash.
Gwinnett first responders will get additional pay raise
Gwinnett commissioners voted to approve a four percent market adjustment for eligible County employees. The move will also raise the salaries of first responders in Police, Fire and Emergency Services, Sheriff’s Office, Corrections and E911 by an additional four percent, bringing the total pay increase for these frontline employees to eight percent.
This decision supports the County’s goal to retain and recruit an effective workforce and underscores hiring challenges caused by an increasingly competitive job market, especially in public safety. The focus on increased compensation acknowledges the impact of inflation on the cost of living along with the hard work by employees to ensure the uninterrupted provision of the services and programs residents and businesses need to thrive. The changes are retroactive to October 2.
Sorenson to head new Gwinnett communications dept.
Sorenson
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners today approved an expansion of the existing communications resources and created a new Communications Department. The decision supports the Board’s strategic objective to increase public access to information about County activities, events, projects, policies and programs. Promoted to lead the new department is Joe Sorenson, who has led the previous division for two decades. Changes will involve hiring additional employees in the operational areas of public relations and marketing, social media, graphic design, website administration and video production. Two of the new positions will provide a sharp focus on data analytics and project management to enhance the effectiveness and reach of county messages.

Gwinnett top performing county for emergency rental help
In April, Gwinnett County was tasked with spending a little more than $55 million from the federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program. The goal was to help those directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fast forwarding, the U.S. Treasury has named Gwinnett a top performer – a title that has gone all the way to the White House. President Biden can now point to the county as an example of the way the funds should be spent on the local level.
With support from the Gwinnett County Magistrate Court and HomeFirst Gwinnett, the additional stimulus funds helped extend the Project Reset rental assistance program funded last year by the federal CARES Act. Now known as Project Reset 2.0, the expanded program provides direct rental and utility assistance to income-eligible individuals and families financially hit by the pandemic. Tenants and landlords can apply for assistance here.

Five lighthouses still on Georgia coast out of 15 once built
When British general James Oglethorpe landed on Georgia’s coast in 1733, he realized that the success of his new colony, Savannah, depended largely on its establishment and development as a commercial port. Only three years later, in 1736, the first lighthouse was built in Georgia. Of the 15 lighthouses built along Georgia’s ever-changing coastline, only five remain, three of which have functional lights.
Located at the mouth of the Savannah River, the Tybee Island Lighthouse was the first on Georgia’s coast. Erected in 1736 and standing only 90 feet high, this structure served as a day mark for ships coming into the port of Savannah. It was, unfortunately, built too close to shore and was toppled by a severe storm in 1741.
Rebuilt in 1742 again too close to the sea, this second structure suffered the same fate. A third tower, 100 feet high and constructed of brick, was completed in 1773 at a site farther back from the ocean. In 1790 the Tybee Lighthouse joined the federally operated U.S. Lighthouse Establishment. Using large candles with large metal discs as an illuminate for the lantern room, Tybee changed its status from day mark to lighthouse.
In 1822 a second, shorter lighthouse was built on Tybee Island adjacent to the first. By sailing to a position where the two lighthouses were aligned, a mariner could accurately approach the Savannah River channel. This system of two lights is called range lights.
Once the light was converted to electricity in 1933, there was no longer a need for three keepers. Maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard until 1987, this lighthouse remains one of America’s most intact light stations, with all its historic support structures still on site. The station is now maintained by the Tybee Island Historical Society and is open to the public.
Located two miles west of Tybee Island Lighthouse on Cockspur Island, the first Cockspur Lighthouse was built in 1849 and used to mark the entrance to the south channel of the Savannah River. This structure proved inadequate and was rebuilt in 1857. A twin channel-beacon was constructed at the same time on the north channel of the Savannah River. Built of Savannah gray brick, the lighthouse was fitted with a fourth-order Fresnel lens and illuminated by a sperm oil lamp. Unlike many lighthouses of the South, this small beacon received only minor damage during the Civil War (1861-65). After the war, the light resumed operation until 1909, when ships with deep drafts were no longer able to use the south channel. The U.S. Coast Guard abandoned the property in 1949, and control was transferred to the National Park Service.

Worldwide famous church is today’s Mystery Photo
We suspect that many of our readers may have seen this church, which is worldwide famous. So, tell us the name of the church, and where it is located. Send answers to elliott@brack.net and include your hometown.
What we thought would be easy got only two replies to the last Mystery Photo. George Graf of Palmyra, Va. identified the sculpture “Ask the Fish 2.0” by Stephen Fairfield near the Chattahoochee River in Roswell by Georgia Highway 400. The sculpture exemplifies Roswell’s spirit. The work represents the fusion of natural and man-made. The fish symbolizes nature and creation, with the hand representing human kind’s dominion over the natural, yet still cherishing creation. The fish’s skin of holographic film diffracts light both day and night, shimmering and changing colors depending on the viewer’s position. This diffraction is a well-known quality of many natural wonders, such as fish scales, butterfly wings and the ruby-breasted hummingbird’s chest. The inspiration for the sculpture came from a revelatory experience the artist had while walking in the high plains desert where he lives in Arizona near the Dragoon Mountains. Later, the sculpture’s explanation came from reading Job 12:8-10: What will you ask the fish?”
The photograph came from Mollie Titus of Peachtree Corners.
Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex. wrote: “Today’s mystery photo is of the Ask the Fish 2.0 sculpture created by Arizona artist Dr. Stephen Fairfield and located along the Roswell Riverwalk Trail in the Don White Memorial Park near where the Georgia Highway 400 bridge crosses over the Chattahoochee River. This location is also known as the ‘Roswell Underpass Park.’
“This sculpture has been well received throughout its travels across the USA, having been displayed in temporary exhibits in San Diego and , Palm Desert, Calif. and Roanoke, Va. It finally ended up in a temporary exhibit in Roswell, in December 2018, before it was purchased by the Roswell Arts Fund and became part of the permanent display of sculptures that make up the ArtAround Roswell ‘Museum Without Walls’ project.”
