Great getaway to visit a nearby Georgia park during week

By Holly Moore
SUWANEE, Ga. | On a recent Friday morning, when we woke to cooler temperatures with a hint of Fall in the air, my husband Don and I decided it would be a good day to take our eight-month-old Labrador puppy, Midnight, on a hike in the woods.
Moore
Not wanting to make this a whole day trip, we opted to visit the Don Carter State Park, just northeast of Gainesville on Lake Lanier. As it was a weekday morning, we were hopeful that the trails would not be crowded with people and other dogs. Our pup greets all people exuberantly with tail wagging in hopes for petting, but she can be shy with other four-legged creatures.
Crowds were not a problem! In fact, while hiking, we passed only one other hiker with his dog and saw just a few tent campers set up on campsites tucked in the woods along the lake’s banks. Don Carter State Park, the newest park in Georgia’s Park System, covers 1,316 acres and has 14.5 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails. (Some trails are mixed use and are paved while others have natural surfaces.) There are also water trails on Lake Lanier for kayakers, picnic pavilions, several boat ramps and a beach for day use in season.
Midnight
Winding through the hardwood forest on (mostly) gentle hills, the trail we were on skirted along above quiet lake coves. Far enough away from any major roads, the only sounds we heard were birds, a few frogs, and our muted footsteps along the wooded path. Midnight kept her nose to the ground and happily led us up and down for nearly 1.5 hours on the loop trail.
We enjoyed ourselves so much that we decided to return a few weeks later, also on a weekday morning. And yet again, we were nearly alone in the woods. This time, we set off in a different direction and passed one of the boat ramps, RV campsites with a few campers in residence and rental cottages set high on a bluff above the lake. We crossed a footbridge over a stream deep in the woods and saw three deer on a rise above the lake.
How pleasant it was to be immersed in the quiet, peaceful solitude of nature!
I imagine that on weekends and holidays (and perhaps now with the leaves changing, weekdays as well), there are more visitors to Don Carter Park and it is not always as quiet as we found it. I would still recommend stealing a day in the middle of the week and visiting Don Carter, or one of the many state parks in Georgia.
Day passes cost $5 or annual ParkPasses (good for any state park) may be purchased at the Visitor’s Center at Don Carter, other parks visitor’s centers or online. Discounts are available for senior citizens, military and veterans. Happy hiking!

Being an Eagle Scout started one guy on career path
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
NOV. 5, 2021 | Rodney Brundidge of Dacula, the chief operating officer of the Northeast Georgia Boy Scout Council, was telling of the various ways his organization helps children, both boys and girls, at a Gwinnett County Rotary meeting Tuesday. Then he asked: “How many in the room are Eagle Scouts?”
Two Eagles stood up. They were Art Assad and A.C. Myers, who both live in Suwanee. When later talking to Art, we got quite a story.
Earlier this week, we saw another incident, which made a major impact on us.
Catching MARTA at the airport when returning from a trip, at the College Park station two young white guys, maybe age 20-22, got on the train. One sat across from us in the handicapped seating, supposedly reserved for seniors like us. The other guy was next to him in regular seating.
Their dress was not impressive. The one across from us had with him a skateboard. We started looking at the guy himself. He had a silver-looking nose piercing with two buds attached. His left forearm past his elbow was covered in a bleached-out tattoo. His jeans were sloppy, ragged at the ends. He had on tennis shoes.
His friend was more subdued, to the point we didn’t notice much about his clothes, nor did he have a tattoo, nor ear piercing. The two talked about heading for Doraville, and we later recognized that they were going to take a Gwinnett bus to a Peachtree Industrial Boulevard location, apparently to seek employment.
Assad
Now switch to Art Assad. After the meeting, we suggested to Art: “We bet you are the success you are because you achieved Eagle status.”
“Well, it was,” he admitted. “It started on my first job interview, way back years ago. This guy, with the Chevron Company, interviewed me for about 15 minutes. And from the way it was going, I realized that I was not going to get that job. The guy concluded the meeting, and I was about to leave.
“’Wait a minute,’ he said, as I was about out the door. ‘I just saw here that you are an Eagle Scout, is that right?’ He had read that I was an Eagle Scout on my resume, so he asked me to sit down again, and we continued to talk. Fifteen minutes later, I had the job!”
That first job interview did much more. It served to kick start his career. And even today, years after that interview, our friend is still in business, president of Agrisil, an agricultural products company in Suwanee. All because that interviewer saw his Eagle Scout ranking.
Now imagine this person with the two guys headed out to Gwinnett seeking employment.
Had they been meeting with me for a job, because of the way they looked, I would have had a hard time thinking they were upstanding citizens and that I wanted to hire them. I suspect they had not achieved Eagle Scout rank, or if they had been Scouts.
Of course, in today’s tight market, that Gwinnett firm may have been happy to hire them as living, breathing workers, since today it’s so hard to find good employees.
If you have a son or daughter coming along, encourage them to achieve, in all ways, including possibly in joining Scouting…for their future.

Let your light shine everywhere, every day, every way
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,
“Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”
By Ashley Herndon
OCEANSIDE, Calif. | We used to sing this little ditty in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. I am sure many of my fellow Southern Protestants remember it. There are many ways to propagandize.
Herndon
It is time to let our multiple “little lights shine” and use them to put a stop to what was a Good Ole Party’s current cycle of corruption into neo-fascist activities. We need to “shine a light” on the secret and dark money, decrease politicians and elected officials’ dependence on special interests, and stop certain billionaires from buying our elections, once and for all. It won’t be easy.
There is nothing wrong with being successful enough and smart enough to become a bazillionaire, but that does not give one or any of them the right to buy the government. It is hard to fathom how weak, meek, and stooped-over some of our elected officials and candidates are and have become. They dance to the money tune just like movie cowboys shooting at someone’s feet, using that famous movie line, “Dance Boy!” Now of course it includes “Dance Girl!” (See Arizona and the last Supreme Court appointee.)
It is coming on “High Noon,” time to recognize we are more than perhaps seeing the greatest changes in our society since prior to the Civil War. The world 160 years ago was not as challenged as it is today, nor did it have to respond to challenges so quickly. Change and progress has matured the world, but also made easier access to damning philosophies that are challenging us as we go through our daily lives. Not all of these changes have refined humanity.
Remember the famous tune in Cabaret, where there was The Money Song, during the period and setting of Fascist Germany. Yep, just as Mark Twain advised, “History may not repeat, but it certainly does rhyme.”
Our nation, in neither party, does not have leadership committed to liberty and justice for all. The Federal District is dominated by wealth gathering, including the young, many of whom view wealth gathering as the reason for being, even in artistic circles.
Wealth gathering is no longer primarily in our country, but is rampant in Russia, China, and even Afghanistan. Wealth gathering has moved into the pulpits as well. Now, evil is making progress.
In the Pre-Civil War days John C. Calhoun of South Carolina created the filibuster in order to codify slavery and expand it. Today Sen. Mitch McConnell and his crowd are using it to codify financial slavery. The current filibuster is White Supremacy Redux. The filibuster has no value beyond solidifying the supremacy of a tiny group over the mudsills.
Where and who are the leaders, those committed to justice and liberty? Today’s elected leaders are certainly not led by the now defunct GOP or many governors at the state level. Oh yes, throw in a couple of governors who are Democrats, to boot.
It’s time to “Let Your Little Light Shine” everywhere, every day in every way.

Law-abiding citizens could be harmed by anti-gun crowd
Your outlook on guns is terrible, probably stemming from a lack of knowledge. Drugs are illegal; are they gone? (No.) Do pencils misspell words? (No). What will end up happening if people like you get their way will be unarming law-abiding citizens and turning us into sheep to be killed by wolves.
Citizens have nothing close to bazookas.

Mr. Crider: Each of us have our own views. I respect your views, and I approve of the second amendment. And we agree that private citizens don’t need bazookas!—eeb
Get recommendations before you allow any car repair
Thank you for your piece on car warranty scams. I went down the wrong road while taking my car to a Peachtree Corners repair operation recently. It seemed like a routine job and after several return visits to fix the initial problem and the disaster of their incompetence on another…I was forced to get a new car. Thousands of dollars in damage to my well-maintained, late model Nissan Maxima. The closest they came to an admission of their collective complicity …”It is unlikely…we did that.”
Too late for me, but as I shared my story with businesses nearby their location. Only everyone had a story/complaint about that firm’s mis-dealings on this one-way street of pitiful service. One former customer had his car catch fire after dealing with them. Beware! Check with friends and neighbors for car repair recommendations before you turn your car loose with any firm.
— Howard Hoffman, Berkeley Lake
FCC should find way to regulate phone calls from scammers
Thanks for the article on scams. There are so many. For the life of me I do not understand why the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) cannot press charges, by going after the scammers who defraud millions of people out of money, mostly the elderly. It is pure bullying harassment. I even receive scam calls at our place of business.
— Helen Rocquemore, Auburn
Dear Helen: The FCC has no jurisdiction over the scam notice I got: it came by mail. But yes, I agree, there ought to be some way to stop all these unsolicited telephone calls we get. The FCC could require the major phone suppliers, such as AT&T, to install logarithms to block such calls before they reach us. The phone companies know who is doing it; the rest should be simple. But realize, the phone people make money by selling their services to the scammers!–eeb

New GGC programs aimed at students who changed majors
Students who change majors or transfer into another college or university tend to lose credits and require extra time to graduate. But Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) has a solution for that, saving students time and money.
A new bachelor’s degree at GGC allows students to keep the credits they have earned and progress toward graduation without loss of time. The recently introduced Bachelors of Integrative Studies (BIS) is a multi-disciplinary program that requires students to complete three major concentrations, or two concentrations and a minor, thus giving them the skills to compete in a wide range of careers.
Dr. Teresa Winterhalter, dean of GGC’s School of Liberal Arts, says: “This degree allows students to finish what they started. Job prospects for students with a degree in integrative studies are excellent.”
For example, Winterhalter said that preparation for some possible careers in Georgia and beyond might require training for the performing arts industries. In this case, a student with a BIS degree could enter that market by combining a concentration in any of GGC’s fine/performing arts disciplines with a concentration in business administration or marketing, as well as a concentration in English. Prospects range from editorial work to business leadership to even something like stage management, all of which utilize the three disciplines mentioned.
This new major is especially well-suited for students who have earned credits in any of GGC’s numerous academic programs, but have changed their degree plans one or more times. This common practice, which frequently has left students with as many as 30 unused credits toward graduation, can be applied to earning a BIS. This degree also creates a clearer path toward graduation for students who transfer multiple credits from other institutions that previously may have only counted as free electives or remained unused.
Students seeking to “finish what they started” through this course of study can earn their degrees in both traditional classroom and/or online formats.

Power and Liberty by Gordon S. Wood
From Raleigh Perry, Buford: Gordon S. Wood is, perhaps, the best writer on American History today. I would compare him to Richard Hofstadter who is my all-time favorite American history author. This book deals with things you probably did not learn in college. I doubt that you would see most of what he writes about even in upper division courses in American history. The author is clear, concise and entertaining. He fills in the blanks and makes the process of establishing the United States into a continuum. This book is not long, about 200 pages or so, and was published September 1, 2021. In my study of history, both European and American, I do not like books that go into names, dates, places and faces or kings and generals. I like all of society being a part of history. If American history is your thing, this is a book for you. The full title is Power and Liberty, Constitutionalism in the American Revolution.

Here’s a short history of the world champion Atlanta Braves
Hank Aaron slams his 714th home run. Photos via Georgia Encyclopedia.
(Condensed from a longer article in the Georgia Encyclopedia)
After spending 67 years in Boston, Mass., and 13 years in Milwaukee, Wis., the Braves moved to Atlanta to begin the 1966 major league baseball season. The move made the Atlanta Braves the first major league professional sports team to call the Deep South its home.
After three mediocre seasons, the Braves won the Western Division of the National League in 1969, the first year of divisional play. Hank Aaron powered the Braves’ offensive attack, while knuckleball pitcher Phil Niekro had the best season of his outstanding career. In the series for the National League pennant, the Braves lost three straight games to the “miracle” New York Mets.
On January 6, 1976, Ted Turner bought the Braves from the Atlanta-LaSalle Corporation for $11 million. Turner intended to use the team to promote his struggling cable television station, WTCG Channel 17. In the early 1980s Turner’s “Superstation” WTBS Channel 17 (later TBS), televised hundreds of Braves games per year all across the country, and the Braves became known as “America’s Team.”
After being perennial losers for so long, the Braves reversed their fortunes in the 1990s. In October 1990 the Braves hired John Schuerholz as general manager. Under the leadership of Schuerholz, field manager Bobby Cox, and pitching coach Leo Mazzone, the Braves became one of the best teams in baseball. Schuerholz signed free agents Terry Pendleton and Sid Bream to provide leadership on the field and in the clubhouse. These established veterans joined a Braves team that had several young players on the verge of stardom. They included outfielders Ron Gant and David Justice, and a trio of pitchers known as the “Young Guns,” Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, and Steve Avery, later joined by the steady and efficient Greg Maddux. These players helped make the 1991 season a most exciting, thrilling, and improbable in Atlanta history up until then.
When the 1991 season began, the Braves were a much-improved team, and expectations were high. After faltering in the first half of the season, the Braves dramatically improved their play after the All-Star break. In the second half of the season, the team won 55 of 83 games, including 21 of their last 29. The 1991 Braves were the first team in baseball history to have the worst record in baseball one season and then win its division the next. The 1991 season came to be known as “Worst to First.”
In 1995 the Braves defeated the Cleveland Indians and won the World Series. The team that had once been a laughingstock became the world champion of baseball. It was the first time any Georgia sports franchise won a major world championship.
On April 4, 1997, the Braves moved to a new, state-of-the-art baseball-only facility, Turner Field, which was named in honor of the team’s owner, Ted Turner. A signature monument in the stadium is a huge Coca-Cola bottle, made of baseball equipment, which spouts fireworks. The stadium also includes Monument Grove, a park with statues of Braves heroes Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Dale Murphy, Phil Niekro, and Warren Spahn.
Although the Braves have not returned to the World Series since 1999 until 2021, the team has continued to excel, capturing division titles every year from 2000 to 2005. With the team’s first-place finish in 2005, the Braves won their division for an unprecedented 14 consecutive times, something no other club has ever done.
In May 2007 the Braves franchise was sold by Time Warner, which had merged with Turner Broadcasting System the previous year, to Liberty Media.
In 2013 the Braves announced that they would move out of downtown Atlanta into Cobb County, just north of the city. The new stadium, SunTrust Park, opened in 2017 as the centerpiece of a larger entertainment district called The Battery Atlanta. In 2020, the stadium was renamed Truist Park, following the bank’s merger with BB&T.
Newly added by GwinnettForum: In 2021, the Braves concluded the season by winning its fourth straight division title, though having the worst record of any division winner. It next eliminated the Milwaukee Brewers, then captured the National League title by beating the team with the best record in baseball in 2021, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Facing the Houston Astros in the championship, they beat Houston in six games to capture their second World Series title as the visiting team in Houston.

And if you can’t figure it out, make up something; we’ll also print the most original incorrect idea. Send your answers to elliott@brack.net, and include your hometown.
An unpublished photo from Architect Rob Ponder of Duluth stumped all but two readers this week. Allan Peel of San Antonio Tex. and George Graf of Palmyra, Va. both recognized the recent mystery. Peel wrote that the photo is “….of the Lowcountry Celebration Park on Hilton Head Island, S.C. Opened in December, 2020, this 10-acre park is Hilton Head’s newest community park that offers a variety of active and passive recreational activities, amenities, and scenic views for individuals, families, organizations and community groups. For youngsters in the 5-12 year old age group, it features the spectacular Adventure Playground Ship, named after the ship called Adventurer that Captain William Hilton Jr. (1617-1675) was on when he discovered Hilton Head Island in 1663. In addition to the ship, the playground offers a sandbox, wading pool and splash pad. Adults can make use of the park’s two fitness stations, and enjoy a stroll along the lighted Perimeter Walk, or attend the Open Pavilion and Lawn for cultural events and festivals.” Graf said of the mystery: “That was a tough one!”
Ponder was the architect of record of the park.
LARGE GLASS PANELS at the new Norcross Library allow visitors a sweeping view of Lillian Webb Park, in this photograph from Roving Photographer Frank Sharp when visiting the library for the first time. Planters have benches and tables for outdoor sitting, and there are more of these benches along the north side of the library. Sharp also took another photo of colorful sitting pads in the kid’s section of the library. The new library’s address is 5735 Buford Highway in Norcross.
