TODAY’S FOCUS

The perplexed British faced Brexit with lots of questions

(Editor’s note: Realizing that many Americans do not understand the Brexit problem, when we met a British citizen recently, we asked Darryl McDonald to give us his insight on the situation. Here is his second dispatch on that question for England.  – eeb)

By Darryl McDonald, UK Correspondent

LONDON, England  |  Following the 2015 General Election, the campaign for the Brexit Referendum started. Naturally Nigel Farage (UKIP) led the Brexit campaign under the banner “Independent Britain.”

Unfortunately the Conservative party was split as they always have been on the issue of Europe. David Cameron canvassed for Remain and Boris Johnson for Brexit.

The campaign was mainly focused on scaremongering, fear and “fake news” by both sides. This invariably led to negative reasons for staying or leaving. There were very few positive initiatives put forward.

The electorate was left confused as to what Brexit really meant. The two main issues were high immigration and control of our borders, thus regaining our sovereignty, but at what cost to trade and investment? When it came to voting nobody really had any idea what Brexit would look like!

On the June 23, 2016, the result was close and with a majority to leave of 51.9 percent.

So how did I vote? For purely personal reasons I choose to remain. I am heading towards retirement and I did not want two years of turmoil, low exchange rate and financial un-stability followed by a possible further five years for things to settle down. My wife voted to leave which just goes to show how split the country was!

Immediately after the results, there were two resignations. PM Cameron felt he was not the right person to proceed with Brexit, and Nigel Farage felt he had achieved his goal. Teresa May took over the leadership of the Government and in March 2017, triggering Article 50 which formally announced that Britain was leaving the EU with two years to agree to an exit deal.

So what are the options for Brexit? A “Hard Brexit” Britain would leave on her terms and able to do trade deals around the world.  A “Soft Brexit” would comprise of a solution with the EU and limiting deals worldwide or “No Deal” where Britain would use the World Trade Organization global rules for trade between nations. Britain was slow to start negotiations and aimed for a Hard Brexit. The EU were not happy with us leaving and did not want to encourage other members to leave so they played hard ball. The great difficulty is one nation trying to get agreement with 27 others each with different issues over trade with Britain!

Recently the Hard Brexit option stalled with the EU taking a very entrenched attitude so Teresa May opted to put forward a Soft Brexit proposal which is currently being discussed. However it led to Boris Johnson and David Davis, our minister for Brexit, resigning on principle. In October there will be a meeting at EU headquarters to ratify this latest proposal so that Brexit can take place in March 2019.  But who knows what will be decided?

Interestingly in the last week, two things have happened. The EU has finally blinked at the thought of a “No Deal” scenario so are softening their stance. Also there is a ground swell by the Remain voters for a second referendum on the outcome of the October meeting and a major retailer has put up a One Million pounds fighting fund, but this will unlikely happen.

Watch this space for my report after the October meeting! Will Britain head for a Soft Brexit or No Deal, which is looking likely!

EEB PERSPECTIVE

Refreshing but mighty hot returning to 1st German military posting

By Elliott Brack
Editor and publisher,GwinnettForum.com

AUG. 28, 2018  |  During the Dog Days of summer, we try to travel to a cooler destination than Georgia. Once when leaving Atlanta, the temperature was 95 F. On arrival in St. John Newfoundland, the airport weather was 50 degrees F. It didn’t take some of our party too long realize they had to buy warmer clothing!

Remembering our three years in Germany while in the military, and remembering its relatively cool times, we decided to travel there this year, figuring mid eighties would be hot for them.

Once about 1960, walking into my military commissary accounting office, the five guys there all had grins on their faces. Not only that, but there was a pair of shoes in the middle of the room. All eyed the chief accountant, who we turned to, and found him solving his 85 degree heat wave: pants rolled up, he had his naked feet in a bucket of water, his solution for the hot weather.

So you can understand our confusion when we found Germany in an unusual heat wave this summer. Temperatures were soaring well into the 90s. With little rain, they are also suffering from climate change.

An Elvis memorial in front of the hotel.

We returned this trip to spend two days in Bad Nauheim, our first military duty station. It is about 30 miles north of Frankfurt. It’s still the cultured “kur” town, specializing in breathing and respiratory problems. And it’s fashionable, and as lovely as ever. We booked one of the two major hotels (Hotel Villa Grunewald)….learning when we arrived that that this was also the hotel where Elvis Presley lived for four months, renting out the entire third floor. We got a corner room next to where Elvis had lived.  And then we found out something more.

The hotel was roomy and well done……..but not air conditioned. The two days we were there the thermometer hit 97 and 95 degrees F., and the town was the hottest place in Germany. Luckily the corner room got a few breezes from three directions.

While stationed in Bad Nauheim as the commissary and Class VI officer, essentially Elvis ate my food. He was a solid citizen back then, well respected in the town.  The town still has an Elvis Festival every August. After living in the hotel, he later rented a house for the balance of his military service in Combat Command A of the Third Armored Division, stationed in nearby Friedberg. He trudged to field maneuvers with his unit, just like a regular soldier.

At the Gruenwald, looking down from our third floor window, is a plaque on a pedestal in a plaza to Elvis, and the corner is called Elvis Presley Alley, along one side of the big park in downtown Bad Nauheim. Each day we were there, people laid flowers in front of the pedestal, along with candles to light. After 60 years, Elvis is still a treasure in Bad Nauheim.

It was refreshing to return to this continually charming kur town of Bad Nauheim, little changed since we were there 58 years ago.

ANOTHER VIEW

Author Eve Hoffman releasing second book of narrative poetry

By Howard Evans

PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga.  |  Local author Eve Hoffman has a new book of poetry, published by Mercer University Press. It tells of a special childhood buoyed by reminders and refinements from her two brothers and three children, that have helped fuel Eve’s latest 131 page book of narrative poems — Memory and Complicity.

Hoffman

She has been asked to compose and read a poem for the grand opening of a Peachtree Corners Coffee House, The Federal, on September 7.   Eve, a fifth generation Georgian, was raised here on her family’s 400 acre dairy farm…just up Spalding Drive from The Federal.

Jamil Zainaldin, president emeritus of the  Georgia Humanities Council, says of the new collection: “Eve Hoffman’s work stands as a testimonial to a love that lives both in its ordinariness and in the trials, losses, and the struggles of our lives—if we but look.”

Through her work, we are ushered through childhood memories of sweet-smelling, home grown  blackberries being turned into jam, turnip greens, green tomatoes and green beans. We know of her yellow dress, first worn to an event at The Temple, just hours before Klansmen bombed the synagogue, and countless wonderful remembrances of matters large and small throughout her remarkable life.

Memory and Complicity  was a year in the compiling, with Eve putting her thoughts on cards and papers, which covered her dining room table. She engaged NEA-awarding winning poet, Cecilia Woloch, to help. Each Thursday they visited on-line, refining the poems and her writing.

Robert M. Franklin, president emeritus of Morehouse College, says:  “Eve’s voice provides a rare window into the complicated issues of identity, community, social evil, and moral possibilities.” ] She writes of the day she sat at a traffic light on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, “ A battered yellow pickup truck eases by and on the dented bumper reads a bumper sticker:  I WILL FORGIVE JANE FONDA—WHEN THE JEWS FORGIVE HITLER.”

The expression, “A Life Well Lived,” comes to mind as each page proffers heart-warming and heart-breaking stories of her children; her late husband, a giant of a man; of her impact as a Gwinnett School Education Board member. It is easy to understand why Eve has been recognized by her alma mater, prestigious Smith College, as a “Remarkable Woman,” by Georgia Trend, as one of the most influential people in Georgia.

This self-admitted, once reticent girl…has now found her voice and believes her work has progressed with Memory and Complicity being the best, yet certainly not the last of what she will publish.

Tribute to her efforts is the fact that she will have her own 45-minute session during The Decatur Book Festival on Sunday, September 2 with future dates as a guest at The Gwinnett Library Book Club.

The once sprawling dairy farm where she grew up is now an upscale development of what she calls…”Five and six bedroom homes.” It bears the name of her Grandfather—Neely (Farm).

Much has changed in this little pocket of Gwinnett County.  We should all be pleased that Eve Hoffman has now shared those days with us.

FEEDBACK

Wants people pausing for funeral motorcades as “right thing”

Editor, the Forum:

As a transplant from the Mid-west, I join Debbie Houston in pausing for funeral motorcades no matter how long it is… 10, 15, 25, 35, 40 or more cars…

We all have lost a loved one, whether family, friend, or neighbor.  We all grieve.  We all want to honor those that are grieving in the processional.  We want to honor the deceased… a veteran, a business person, a grandparent, parent, sibling, child, friend, neighbor, and/or a community member… they have added to this life and the lives of those they touched.  We can all pause for a few moments to join in honoring and paying last respects. It is the right thing to do.

May we never lose this tradition…

Maybe some general guidelines like this and turning your auto lights on when it is raining, need to be added into the driver’s education manual or included when vehicle tags are renewed and when driver’s license are renewed.

— Jean Harrivel, Duluth

Dear Jean: The idea of having your car’s headlights on is now in Georgia law, if I remember correctly. However getting people to do the “right thing” may prove impossible. –eeb

New Georgia legislation on fireworks is a thoughtless enactment

Editor, the Forum:

Lane Mitcham’s assessment of the bad decision of our legislators in expanding the legal use of fireworks to midnight seven days a week was right on the money. Most of us would prefer changing the law back to only allowing professionals to use fireworks for celebratory holidays — basically only July 4 and New Years Eve.

Putting fireworks in the hands of anyone who wants them is foolish. Doctors report there have been more accidents from fireworks after the law change. And, around July 4 this year, the poor disposal of used fireworks started a fire that destroyed several homes in a metro subdivision.

When fireworks were limited to holidays and only trained people used them, we could at least plan for the times when noise would disrupt our peaceful existence. And those of us with pets who freak out at these sounds could plan to stay home to comfort them. But now, should a neighbor decide to celebrate his child’s first day of Pre-K while we’re out to dinner, we could come home to a destroyed home due to the 90-pound dog having gone nuts at the constant sound bombardment.

The vast majority of people are NOT going to use fireworks. Their wishes need to come first. Why should small children, the elderly, those with illnesses and veterans with PTSD have to suffer with this intrusion into their lives? The fireworks lobby must have shared more than a few bucks with legislators to convince them to pass such thoughtless legislation.

UPCOMING

Greater Atlanta Christian School in midst of 50th year celebration

By Margie Asef

In the summer of 1968, Gwinnett County was quiet and rural, with “traffic jams” of sometimes five cars a day on a dirt road called Indian Trail. In that same summer, a fledgling private school opened that would eventually grow into one of the nation’s premier Christian schools.

Now in 2018, Greater Atlanta Christian is celebrating its 50th year in that same location, as Gwinnett’s oldest and largest private school, and as one of the largest Christian schools in the nation.  Yet age hasn’t made GAC complacent.  A spirit of vitality and innovation is making GAC a leader in preparing students for the new world of scholarship, careers, and ethical leadership.

Now serving over 1,600 students from metro Atlanta as well as through online education, GAC’s 88-acre campus resembles a small college. That’s a far cry from the opening school year in 1968 with 150 students in Grads 7-11 in the two small buildings.

The GAC of today is both in heart the same, and quite different as well. GAC 2018 has redesigned its buildings with learning-focused environments. GAC’s countless programs have kept up with the impressive campus changes.  The school’s powerhouse athletics are known statewide. Yet award winning robotics, state mathematics championships, School of Dance, and top tier theater productions are now renown.

Still, new GAC President Dr. Scott Harsh points to more important factors in GAC’s longevity and strength today.  “We’re thankful for our history, resources, and the way allies across Atlanta have supported us for decades.   Yet research makes it clear that great teachers make all the difference.   And we know it’s the caliber, heart, and longevity of our faculty that make GAC the amazing school it is today.”

GAC teacher credentials are impressive. GAC funds graduate studies for faculty, which leads to a much higher than average 75 percent holding advanced degrees, with over 15 doctorates and doctoral candidates.   GAC teachers also tend to stay, building a culture for effective learning.  Faculty average experience exceeds 10 years.

Chancellor and former President Dr. David Fincher says: “We believe our students are forever, so we focus every day on shaping their character and hearts. Part of the school’s education and spiritual offering includes 26 local and global mission trips that reach five continents. “Students learn faith in their actions, not just in their studies,” Dr. Fincher says.

It’s a fresh and energizing time for GAC with Dr. Harsh leading the school.  This year he begins as only the third president in the school’s 50 years.  That’s almost unprecedented, as the average tenure of a private school head is slightly over five years.

Major safety and security improvements have been initiated for 2018.  A new division of GAC is now offering online AP courses and World Languages for Christian schools that that don’t have the resources to offer them–and 6 schools are partnering with GAC to participate for their students.  “Today’s GAC is blessed with resources and strength that can advance students in other states,” Harsh said.

While GAC’s reach extends beyond the state, its heart is for the local community. “Gwinnett has been a marvelous home for Greater Atlanta Christian since the first day 50 years ago,” said Chancellor Fincher.

We have always felt the support of our community and we like to think we are a meaningful asset not only to our families, but for all Atlanta.   I suspect GAC will still be right here on our Centennial, involved and making our neighborhood even better for decades ahead.”

Stradis Healthcare finds WorkSource of ARC a valuable asset

When Stradis Healthcare, a leader in custom surgical packs and medical kits, outgrew its old headquarters a year and a half ago, it relocated to much larger space in Peachtree Corners. The move allowed the 18-year-old business room for its rapidly expanding company. The move also meant it would be adding to its workforce.

Training new employees can be costly. Fortunately, Stradis’ business leaders were able to tap into an Atlanta Regional Commission program, called WorkSource Atlanta Regional which provides substantial reimbursement of the costs in upgrading the skills of the staff. The program is also designed to improve the competitiveness of an employer.

Adam Sokol, president and co-founder of Stradis Healthcare, says: “Stradis is rapidly evolving as a leader in innovative and cost-efficient medical device packaging. The support from ARC has helped our company reinforce our position in the industry.”

The employee training program was designed specific to the company’s needs. Stradis collaborated with WorkSource Atlanta Regional to modernize and integrate several organizational processes. For an entire year, the company committed to intensive employee training that helped to improve customer experience, making the system more attractive to its customers.

Peachtree Corners Mayor Mike Mason says: “We are delighted to have innovative companies, like Stradis located in our city. Stradis has invested in the people of this community, and we believe there is no greater way to grow and elevate our talented labor force.”

Huskers Breakfast Café opens 2nd location in Suwanee

When former Waffle House executive Carl Smith retired in 2015, he wasn’t ready to exit the breakfast business. Instead, he had plans for a smaller, more localized chain of restaurants that would spotlight the South’s most ubiquitous breakfast food. He opened the first Huskers Café in Stone Mountain in August 2016, and now just two years later, will open his second location in Suwanee in September 2018. “People in the South just want great grits,” stated Smith. “And that’s the idea behind Huskers Café.”

Smith’s second foray into the restaurant business was inspired in part by his family’s love of breakfast and their strong Southern roots. He created a breakfast-based menu that included the hearty breakfast bowls, pancakes, melts, and other Southern-style comfort foods that covered his family table on many Saturday mornings. But the main focus was on grits – “any way you want them” – yellow or white, and the foundation of many of the signature dishes served at the restaurant. The Southern staple even inspired the name for the restaurant.

Huskers Café’s Stone Mountain location is at 1825 Rockbridge Road SW (in the Walmart shopping plaza); its new second location in Suwanee opens at 3255 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road (Suwanee Crossroads Shopping Plaza). A full menu can be found online at huskerscafe.com; Huskers is open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch, except for Christmas and Thanksgiving.

GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA TIDBIT

Native Savannahian Green becomes author based in France

Julien Green, novelist, autobiographer, dramatist, critic, and first non-French national elected to the Academie Francaise (1971), was greatly attached to his American nationality and to his roots in Georgia. A large section of his writing constitutes a quest for identity by an American living abroad in France.

Green was born in Paris of American parents; his mother was from Savannah, his father from Virginia. He was baptized Julien Hartridge Green in honor of his maternal grandfather, Georgia congressman Julian Hartridge. His paternal grandfather, Charles Green, from Halesowen, England, attained great wealth in the cotton industry in Savannah, where his magnificent Tudor-style mansion, the Green-Meldrim House, was completed in 1861.

Green’s father, Edward, had a bent for speculation that led to financial losses and the acceptance of a post with a cotton agency in Le Havre, France, where he already had business contacts. The family left for Le Havre in 1893 and moved in 1897 to Paris, where their eighth child, Julien, was born on September 6, 1900.

Julien’s childhood was imbued with his mother’s stories of the Civil War (1861-65) and her regret that the South had lost the war. This created in Green a nostalgia for his Georgian roots and a sense of exile, a prominent theme in his novels. His mother died when he was 14, and he was converted to Catholicism at 16. In 1919 he thought of becoming a Benedictine monk but later abandoned the idea.

During World War I, Green enlisted in the American Field Service in 1917 and later transferred to the French Foreign Legion and then to the regular French army. After the war, in 1919, he left for America to enroll at the University of Virginia, where he studied Latin, Greek, English literature, history, German, and elementary Spanish.

This was a significant period in his career. On the level of his quest for identity, he became acquainted with various family relatives in Savannah and elsewhere. On a personal level there was his encounter with a man whom he called Mark. This platonic relationship left Green burdened with his inability to express his love for Mark. Many of Green’s characters share this trait.

He also discovered his homosexuality, which intensified his inner religious struggle between flesh and spirit, sin and grace. This conflict constitutes the central drama of his main works. Ultimately, Green’s homosexuality led him to reject Catholicism, and he did not rejoin the church until 1939.

MYSTERY PHOTO

Distinctive architecture may lead to solving today’s Mystery

Today’s mystery photo reminds us of construction in another era, in another country, Figure out where this photo was taken as you seek to solve the mystery. Send you idea to elliott@brack.net, and include your  hometown.

Last week’s Mystery Photo, the old Summerour Cotton Gin in Norcross, today is converted to offices and an eatery, and got immediate attention with readers, some thinking it too easy. Among the early responders were Lynn Naylor, Atlanta; Dwayne Higgins, Chuck Paul, Joseph Hopkins, Bob Grossman and Barbara Kartitz, all of Norcross; Bob Foreman, Grayson; Jon Davis, Duluth. Lou Camerio of Lilburn, who  wrote that “These red roofed structures are between the Norcross Police station and Gwinnett Fire Station No. 1 on Lawrenceville Street in Norcross.”

George Graf of Palmyra, Va. wrote: The Historic Cotton Gin located at 125 Lawrenceville Street, in Norcross: “Located in the long white building next to City Hall, the Old Cotton Gin was once owned by the Summerour family. Norcross farmer Homer Summerour became well-known nationwide in the early 1900s for developing a special, more productive variety of cotton seed. The seeds were so famous that people from across the country could request a sample just by writing a letter addressed with nothing more than “Cotton Seed Man” and “Georgia” on the envelope. The orders were filled by the Summerour Gin which stood next to City Hall.

Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex.: “It is the Old Cotton Gin in historic, downtown Norcross.  Some interesting facts:  Norcross is the second oldest city in Gwinnett County (second to Lawrenceville) and was the first to be placed on the Register of Historic Places. The Eastern Continental Divide actually runs through the heart of downtown Norcross. The first car manufactured south of the Mason-Dixon Line was built in Norcross by Edward Buchanan in 1908. It was called the ‘NorX,’ and some people say that a reason the company failed is because the transmission wasn’t right. Put it in drive, and it went backwards; put it in reverse, it went forward.”
