Libraries cement knowledge and community in one place
(Editor’s Note: The following remarks come from Dick Goodman of Suwanee, who is chairman of the Gwinnett Library Board. This a distillation of remarks given at the opening of Gwinnett’s newest library, which shares space with the Lilburn City Hall.”–eeb
By Dick Goodman, Lilburn, Ga. | There is one thing the other speakers this afternoon didn’t mention: the important role of libraries in our community and in our definition of who we are as Americans.
Libraries were not always as convenient as they are today, but we all have memories as children of going to a library. But libraries weren’t always accessible. In some communities they just didn’t exist, or they weren’t open to ordinary people.
Goodman
For centuries people have valued libraries as a storehouses of knowledge. But the idea of a lending library, where people could actually walk out with a book they didn’t pay for, was introduced in America by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia, way back in 1731.
Franklin understood the value of knowledge and education to the citizens of a democracy. So did steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, who in the beginning of the last century, gave away $1.6 billion in today’s money to build almost 1,700 public libraries across this country.
Carnegie’s gift changed the face of America and helped shape its character. Libraries are where we rediscover the ideas that define us as a people. It’s where we learn and share knowledge. Libraries are one of our best tools for preserving our democracy.
With libraries now all around us, we may take them for granted. But we shouldn’t. We can lose our libraries through complacency or by simply not understanding and valuing the role they play in a healthy community and thriving democracy.
Not long ago people were predicting that libraries would become superfluous. With the Internet and e-books, why have libraries? People could get all the books and information they want with a few taps on their computer keyboards.
But books are still here. And so are libraries. Bigger and better than ever.
We also heard that the Internet was going to eliminate the need for librarians. Why do we need librarians when we can find exactly what we’re looking for by Googling it? And we all know that everything we read on the Internet is true. Right? Librarians know where to look and how to separate the gems and from the colored glass.
And Google isn’t all there is. Our libraries give us access to information that Google doesn’t. But without librarians, you’d be hard pressed to find it.
But most important, libraries are much more than books and databases.
Libraries are about learning, knowledge, and community. Community is about sharing.
- The library is where new Americans can learn about America.
- It’s where people looking for work can find help with how to find it.
- It’s where children can experience the excitement of learning before ever setting foot in school.
- It’s where everyone can discover the amazing things you can make with a 3-D printer.
- And it’s where school children can reinforce and expand what they’ve learned in school.
Yes, our schools do a fantastic job. But they’re not open in the evenings, or on Saturday or Sunday, or during spring or winter break, or, the long three months of the summer. Our libraries are.
The library is where we come together and share what we are and what we know. It’s where we come together as Americans.
And here, today, in Lilburn, this new facility cements together knowledge and community in one place.

New Dahlonega distillery aims at producing spirits by January 2017
By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | A new $2 million hand-crafted distillery is about to begin off Town Creek Road near Dahlonega. Stillhouse Creek Distillery has as president Diane Kelly of Dahlonega, the only woman who is head of a distillery in Georgia.
On November 4, the distillery will mark its opening at the plant at 2 p.m. Dave Pickerell, a master distiller previously with Maker’s Mark bourbon, will be present. He is consulting with Stillhouse Creek in the new venture. While on site, Pickerell will operate the distilling equipment, including its new 500 gallon copper still and components, which was made in Louisville, Ky. Pickerell will also run tests on the Stillhouse Creek local corn and red wheat used in the bourbon-making process, and check out aspects all through the process.
Ms. Kelly says of his visit: “Dave has been with us every step of the way, from our relationship with federal authorities, to our Georgia-based distributors. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.”
Ms. Kelly, 52, is a native of Atlanta, was raised in Roanoke, Va., and is a graduate of Virginia Tech. Previously, she was in marketing. Her distiller, Jeff Oden, who also lives in Dahlonega, was previously a financial technical consultant, who tired of being “on the road” in his work.
Oden remembers: “Diane and I wanted to do something different, and four years ago, when out one night, we had an ‘Ah ha’ moment, thinking ‘Why not a distillery?’”
They looked more into it, liked what they saw, and began their research, eventually joining the American Distillery Institute. “We recognized we had different skill sets, she with people-skills and marketing, and me with a technical background.” Oden, 62, is a native of Atlanta, and graduate of Kennesaw State College, “In music,” he laughs.
Soon recognizing their initial challenge was financial, the firm obtained a SBA loan, though their plans were stalled with problems raising a building. Eventually they contacted a local builder, Precision Metal Buildings of Cleveland, and eight weeks later had their 7,200 square foot facility. Among its features is a cozy parlor with living room furniture and office, plus patio event space. They foresee eventually having weddings and corporate events for up to 150 people at their distillery in its tranquil setting.
The distillery plans four products, a gin and three different agings of bourbon. Oden says: “We will concentrate on our Oro gin, infused with local juniper and lavender, 80 proof, in order to get a revenue stream, since there’s no aging of gin.” An un-aged 92 proof bourbon, White Gold, will also be produced for immediate sale.
The other two bourbons will have different aging: Their premium Gold Rush 1829 bourbon (all named for when gold was discovered in Lumpkin County), will have a minimum of two years of aging in new wooden barrels. Gold Dust, a straight bourbon, will be aged less than two years. Both will also be 92 proof.
Stillhouse’s longer range plans include producing a brandy, using grapes from local viticulturists.
The company plans a multi-faceted marketing campaign, aimed first at Georgia. They anticipate having their first batch for sale in January. Their first goal is to produce a thousand cases of spirits…half their anticipated annual capacity.
Kelly says: “Our biggest problems are developing our market, and surviving the first two years, until we can get our premium bourbon on the shelves. The demand for bourbon outstrips the market. We won’t make compromises, but will produce spirits in a high quality tradition here in Lumpkin County.”

Several readers respond to GwinnettForum candidate endorsements
Editor, the Forum:
I, too, will be endorsing Hillary Clinton for POTUS. Clearly, she is more qualified than Donald Trump, and will better represent our country in world-wide affairs.
She has been my choice throughout this campaign. You were eloquent in your reasons for voting for Hillary, and though I have supported her throughout, it has not been easy to be vocal (especially to my group of friends) about her attributes. So I thank you for your support of Hillary, and pray that some sanity will be restored to the USA in the near future. It’s going to be a very bleak future if we don’t get a grip on our political problems.
— Bonnie H. Tucker, Buford
Editor, the Forum:
Thanks for your public endorsement of Hillary Clinton. Let’s hope for a landslide victory for her.
— Alvin Johnson, Sandy Springs
Editor, the Forum:
While Ms. Clinton has held many titles, actually name any accomplishments that can be attributed to her. She has accepted millions of dollars while working at the State Department (for the Clinton Foundation) from countries where women’s rights are not even considered and are often put to death or punished for minor infractions and has reveled in getting a child rapist freed.
How can she even consider herself an advocate for women? She has put this country at risk while transmitting classified info on her ILLEGAL private server and has “bleached” e-mails that were ordered to be preserved, not to mention “leaking” classified info during debates with millions of people who were watching.
— Roberta Cromlish, Stone Mountain
Editor, the Forum:
The GwinnettForum candidate/endorsement information is helpful, especially since I just changed precincts, moving from unincorporated Snellville (Centerville) to Grayson. Voting in Centerville, my vote was basically wasted, because some of the leading local/Congressional candidates have little concern for Gwinnett issues.
I’m reviewing your candidate information, they did a good job explaining their vision for Gwinnett. Keep up the good work.
— Mark Tapp, Grayson

High wildfire possibilities mean limits on campfires in north Georgia
Extended hot, dry weather combined with dead and dry vegetation has caused extremely high wildfire danger in the northern forests of Georgia. Recent wildfire starts have fire managers concerned. A campfire restriction is now in place for all of the Chattahoochee National Forest.
The restriction prohibits building, maintaining, attending or using a fire or campfire outside of developed recreation areas from now until December 31, 2016. Only campfires built within metal fire rings in developed campsites are allowed. Camp stoves are still permissible. The Forest Service reminds visitors that campfires should always be put out completely and cold to the touch before being left for any period of time.
Fire fighters have made good progress containing recent wildfires, including the 477 acre Strawberry Mountain wildfire in Walker County and the 1971 acre Fox Mountain wildfire in Dade County. Fire crews will continue to mop up, patrol, and monitor these wildfires. Additional firefighting resources are ready to respond to new starts.
Metro Chamber recognizes Gwinnett water plant byproduct
The Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources Ostara Nutrient Recovery Process was named the winner in the Liquid Assets category at the Metro Atlanta Chamber’s 2016 E3 Awards presentation. The E3 awards celebrate metro Atlanta companies, organizations and individuals that are creating innovative solutions and technological advances in sustainability.
Phosphorus is a by-product of water reclamation at Gwinnett County’s F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center (WRC). As part of the County’s permit to discharge high quality, reclaimed water to Lake Lanier, they operate under tough discharge limits in the United States. Reducing the amount of phosphorus is a critical environmental challenge, as phosphorus causes the proliferation of algae blooms that can debilitate waterways and destroy aquatic life.
Water system employees at the awards breakfast included Steve Sheets, Rebecca Shelton, J. C. Lan, Gwinnett County District 2 Commissioner Lynette Howard, Robert Harris, Tyler Richards, Brandon Brown, Karen Shields, Denise Funk and Rick Reagan.

The Jackson EMC Foundation board of directors awarded a total $66,500 in grants to organizations during their September meeting, including $55,000 to organizations serving Gwinnett County residents. The grants included:
$15,000 to Elachee Nature Science Center in Gainesville to help offer discounts for students in Title 1 schools in Banks, Barrow, Clarke, Gwinnett, Hall, Jackson, Lumpkin and Madison counties to encourage environmental science/nature field trips.
$15,000 to Wishes 4 Me Foundation, a Lawrenceville charitable organization that provides housing for low-income disabled adults so they may live independently and be a part of the community.
$10,000 to Nothing But the Truth, a Dacula faith-based organization dedicated to meeting needs in the community, to purchase food for the Weekend Food Bag Ministry that provides food for the weekend to Gwinnett County public school children who have been identified by counselors as food insecure.
$10,000 to the Rainbow Children’s Home, a Dahlonega shelter for abused and neglected girls, to help fund programs that go beyond the basics of food, clothing and shelter.

Bleak House
By Charles Dickens
Reviewed by Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill | This book is about various characters involved in a court case that has dragged on for generations, leaving death and despair in its wake. A fortune is at stake and there are various, conflicting wills. Several possible heirs pin their hopes on winning wealth for themselves. By today’s standards, the plot is not particularly gripping, and I was not going to recommend it. But it’s been several weeks since I finished it and I just can’t get it out of my head. On the surface, many of the subplots are really frivolous and distracting, but some are also complicated. Dickens is fabulously descriptive and brilliant at depicting the British aristocracy as well as the deplorable conditions of the poor. It’s a rare mixture of comedy, lightheartedness and tragedy. Best of all, it’s not all bleak! I couldn’t stop reading it.

Georgian moves to stage, screen but best known for voiceovers
The character actor and voiceover specialist Sterling Price Holloway Jr. was born on January 4 or 14, 1905, in Cedartown, in Polk County. He attended the Georgia Military Academy and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, graduating in 1923. After appearing in minor productions around the country, Holloway was cast in Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart’s first Broadway musical, The Garrick Gaieties (1925), in which he introduced the now standard song Manhattan. In the second edition of the show in 1926 he sang the hit song Mountain Greenery.
After a slow beginning in films, Holloway was cast in Frank Capra’s movie American Madness (1932) and Josef von Sternberg’s film Blonde Venus (1932), and was soon playing character parts in many movies, including The Merry Widow (1934) and Capra’s Meet John Doe (1941).
He also became a regular on such network radio programs as The Chase and Sanborn Hour. During World War II (1941-45), Holloway, assigned to the army’s Special Services unit, produced a show for servicemen and toured with it near the front lines in North Africa and Italy.
After the war Holloway played Gene Autry’s comic sidekick in five Westerns and starred in short comedies for Columbia Pictures. He found more professional satisfaction, and his share of film immortality, in his voiceover work for animated cartoons, which he began doing at the Walt Disney Studios in 1941. His first Disney character was yet another delivery boy, the Stork in Dumbo (1941). He played a small part in Bambi (1942) and narrated a number of cartoons, including the short Peter and the Wolf, which was released as part of a collection of shorts called Make Mine Music (1946).
Thereafter he was cast in more unusual and rewarding roles. He provided the voice for a subtly eerie Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland (1951) and was shrewd and practical as the mouse Amos, the hero of Ben and Me (1953).
In 1967 Walt Disney himself asked Holloway to audition for the part of Kaa, the python, for a planned animated version of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book. Holloway’s favorite animated role, however, was a bear of little brain, Winnie the Pooh, for whom Holloway found the precise tones of innocence and befuddlement in the short Winnie the Pooh films of the 1960s and 1970s.
In his last years, Holloway, in failing health, retired from acting and devoted himself to his growing collection of contemporary art, a subject about which he sometimes lectured. He also enjoyed returning to Cedartown to visit old friends. In 1991 Holloway, along with singer and actress Julie Andrews and others, was honored as a Disney legend for his contributions to the studio’s creations. He died on November 22, 1992, in Los Angeles, Calif.

These bowl-like objects may give you clues to Mystery Photo
Perhaps GwinnettForum readers will be able to explain the bowl shaped objects at this development, as they recognize where it is. Send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.
A photograph of a memorial in Washington, sent in by Jerry Colley of Alpharetta, got several quick recognitions. Margot Ashley of Lilburn was in first saying, “The photograph is the memorial wall from the World War II memorial in Washington D.C. One star represents a certain number of lives lost by the Allies. The water is unmoving because there is no life remaining in these stars. It is a very emotional depiction of the loss of life related to war.”
George Graf of Palmyra, Va. told us: “The Freedom Wall which is on the west side of the World War II Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. There are 4,048 gold stars; each one represents 100 American military deaths. That means that more than 400,000 soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, and military personnel lost their lives or remain missing in action in World War II. Of 16 million men and women in military service during the time, that number represents 1 death out of every 40. When an American went off to fight, the family often displayed in their window a flag bearing a blue star on a white field with a red border. If one of those dreaded telegrams arrived informing them of their family member’s death, they would replace the blue star with a gold one; revealing that family’s sacrifice.”
Libby Cromer of Lawrenceville said: “That’s the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C. We stopped there this summer on our way to play baseball in Cooperstown, NY with our 12 year old son.”
Joel Taylor of Snellville recognized it also: “Our grandkids got to see it this past summer. The entire memorial is incredibly well done.” Also recognizing the photo was Bob Foreman of Grayson.
