Peach State Federal Credit Union hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand opening of their new branch located at 40 East Pike Street in Lawrenceville. The credit union’s original downtown Lawrenceville branch on North Clayton Street was purchased by the Lawrenceville Downtown Development Authority in early 2017 to make room for a new fine arts center near the Aurora Theatre. The ribbon cutting celebrated the completion of the branch construction and the credit union’s new location in downtown Lawrenceville. Peach State’s President/CEO, Marshall Boutwell says: “We made our home in downtown Lawrenceville at 175 North Clayton Street in 1995 with $18 million in assets and two branches. Since then, we have grown to serve not only the East Metro Atlanta area, but most of North Georgia and Southwest South Carolina with over $500 million in assets and 25 branch locations.” He adds: “No matter how far we expand our service area or how much we grow, Lawrenceville will always have a place in our heart and we’re glad to be a part of the city’s future.”

Town Center at Peachtree Corners opening will be April 27
By Judy Putnam
PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga. — The day to celebrate the completion of the Peachtree Corners’ Town Center is nearing. On Saturday, April 27, the afternoon will be filled with activities, music and food as the community is invited to enjoy the culmination of a project that first took root in 2013.
The festivities will get underway with a parade at 4 p.m. Starting at Peachtree Corners Circle and Medlock Bridge Road, the parade will march along Medlock Bridge and Town Center Boulevard. The community is invited to watch the parade along the parade route and then join in at the end as the parade leads onlookers into the new Town Center. It is located at 5140 Town Center Boulevard, directly across the street from The Forum on Peachtree Parkway.
The City Council will be on stage at the Town Green to welcome people. There will be a DJ playing music and strolling entertainment throughout the afternoon. At 8 p.m. the Atlanta Rhythm Section will perform on stage. Following the concert, there will be a drone show that will light up the night sky.
Mayor Mike Mason says: “The Council and I are delighted to finally announce the opening of our Town Center. This will be an exciting day for the city. Our new Town Center will be a place to make memories. We invite the Peachtree Corners community to come and celebrate with us.”
On-site parking is limited, but there is plenty of parking at off-site locations along Peachtree Corners Circle and shuttles will be running continuously. Look for signs to parking lots posted along Peachtree Parkway. Carpooling is encouraged. For this event, officials urge no pets or coolers. Refreshments will be available for purchase, but no tickets are required for the Grand Opening event or the Atlanta Rhythm Section concert.
Turning a 21-acre tract of land into a place that would become the central gathering place for community has been no small feat. The city was barely six months old when it took a giant step in purchasing the land that was destined for 267 garden-style apartments and creating instead a special place for all our citizens to enjoy.
The concept for a Town Center was developed from a Livable Center Initiative (LCI) study in which citizens were polled – the overwhelming majority wanted to see a city center on the undeveloped property. The property then was rezoned to accommodate a mixed-use development, a design concept was approved, a contractor selected, Fuqua, then finally a groundbreaking in June 2017.
The new development is filled with shops, restaurants, entertainment venues – and at the center is a two+ acre Town Green. The large oval-shaped lawn is surrounded by two open air pavilions, performance stage, large screen TVs, café tables – and a veterans’ monument to honor our men and women who served or are serving our country. Additionally, construction on 72 townhomes will begin soon.
Park and Walk: Park on Davinci Court off Peachtree Corners Circle (3720 Davinci Court, 3715 Davinci Court or 2745 DaVinci Court.) Look for signs posted directing you to parking. Use the walking path from Peachtree Corners Circle to reach the Town Green.

Important elements to know about those new automotive key fobs
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
APRIL 23, 2019 — Many modern automobiles operate without what we have known previously as a “key.” Instead, today’s new vehicles now have “keyless entry,” using a key fob which can automatically start the car simply by the push of a dashboard button, as long as you have the fob with you.
You never have to bother to get your key out of your pocket or purse. It’s a new “benefit” in operating a modern car.
Except.
Read on. It might save you a problem.
If your “key fob” is two years old or more, you may find it malfunctioning. That happened to me last week. I had driven my wife’s car to the office. The car door unlocked OK when I was leaving the house. However, when touching the button on the dash to start the engine, nothing happened. Finally, by putting the key fob against the button, the engine started.
The problem began when I tried to return home at lunch. The car door would not open. I tried both front doors. I could not get into the car. As a last resort, I called my wife at home come get me (in my regular vehicle), then drove to the car dealers to see about the key fob.
“Go down the hall to the retail parts department,” I was instructed. There, one of counter persons, Terrance Calloway, who has been at the dealership for 16 years and 25 with Toyota, and who has seen many like me needing a fob battery, said he could replace the battery for $6. So far, so good, and not expensive!
This got Terrance to talking as he replaced the battery. I had told him that my wife had earlier had problems with the fob, having to place it against the starter button to engage the car.
Terrance said: “Whenever that happens, you should get the fob battery replaced immediately, for the fob battery is dying.” So if it happens to you, hightail it to your car dealer. It’ll save problems later.
Then he also told something new to me about the fob: “Your key fob has a button on the side you can push, which allows a key to slip out of the fob. You can use the key to open the car door, and the fob battery might still have enough power to start the car if you touch the fob to the starter button.” Wish I had known about that earlier.
Then there’s the myth that says you cannot lock your doors to your car if you somehow happen to leave the key fob inside the car when you get out. That generally is the rule, and protects drivers often! But there’s a way to leave a key fob inside the car if you wish.
To do that, Terrance killed the myth by saying to get in your car in the back seat. Lock all the doors and leave the fob inside the car, then get out of the car by the right rear door. When you close the right rear door, it will lock also, even with the fob in the car. (You might want to leave the fob in the car since another person may have a second key fob, and need to pick up a car at a remote location.
Thanks, Terrance Calloway, for educating us all on key fobs.

Seeing the Cyclorama at the History Center is like seeing new painting
Editor, the Forum:
My DAR chapter, Philadelphia Winn, went to the new Cyclorama as one of our many field trips. This was one of the best I have gone on with our group. Atlanta should be very proud of restoring and moving this elegant bit of history to its new home at the Atlanta History Center, which is always most impressive.
This was the second time I saw the Cyclorama, the first being almost 40 years ago. Impressive as it was at the time I saw it, it looked very worn and dull. The people who restored the painting did an excellent job of making the whole scene seamless, looking like it was freshly painted. The 15-minute film brought the whole historical story into perspective. It told of the original artists and their vision of what happened during the Battle of Atlanta. Earlier artists took liberty with the facts, with today’s version more factful.
We had lunch at the Swan Coach House. (The Swan Frozen Fruit Salad was like having dessert before the real dessert course.) There was so much to see and it would take a full day to see everything from the Cyclorama, all the exhibits inside the History Center, and the Swan House.
And don’t forget to look for Clark Gable (Rhett Butler) as one of the faces of one of the soldiers in the Cyclorama.

Sailing aboard the USNS Darby, and hearing Kennedy in Berlin
Editor, the Forum:
Darby
About the USNS Darby: I was one of those soldiers below billeted deck. Enlisted, on the ship I worked in the butcher shop, not a great place for one who often suffered from seasickness. I was heartened to finally see that German band welcoming us on the dock in Bremerhaven.
It was a train trip to Augsburg, and then two and a half great years in Bavaria, and a return on the USNS Patch to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for discharge. My service in Germany remains a highlight of my life to this day.
August 1961. I can remember sailing out by the Statue of Liberty. Years later, returning home, as we sailed in someone said, “I don’t think that bridge was here when we left.” He was right. It was the Verrazano Bridge, which was constructed during the time period we were over overseas.
I was “Radar.” a CO’s clerk in an Aviation Battalion. As a result, I saw much of Europe by helicopter, to include a trip to Berlin to see and hear President Kennedy. I had voted for Nixon (at my Dad’s request) in 1959, and standing in that square in Berlin listening to the president, I regretted my vote and have been a Democrat ever since. Sad days, these days. Oh, never mind! Cheers.

Sports Medicine Fellowship to begin at Gwinnett Medical Center
Gwinnett Medical Center (GMC) has announced the expansion of the Graduate Medical Education program to include the addition of a Sports Medicine Fellowship. Based on the hospital’s depth of experience and sports medicine resources available, including concussion management, and its highly successful Graduate Medical Education program, it was the next logical phase in its evolution, says Dr. Mark Darrow, director of the hospital’s Graduate Medical Education program.
The Sports Medicine Fellowship is a one-year program that includes comprehensive training in treating musculoskeletal injuries and complaints in athletes and active individuals of all ages. The Fellowship program follows a three-year residency in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine.
Key to the physician’s experience, their rotations will also include time at GMC-Duluth’s Concussion Institute and participation in school and community athletic functions. For nearly five years, GMC has been the official healthcare provider of sports medicine services to Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS). GMC is also the official healthcare provider for Georgia Gwinnett College athletes, the Atlanta Gladiators, the Gwinnett Stripers and multiple recreational athletic leagues.
Other components of the fellowship experience include hands-on ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal procedures at Duluth Family & Sports Medicine Clinic and robust didactic learning from several GMC-affiliated physicians and surgeons prepared by Dr. Purnima Bansal, Sports Medicine Fellowship program director.
The initial two Sports Medicine Fellows will begin July 1st. Interested resident physicians will be able to apply in the fall. The Sports Medicine Fellowship is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Meeting tonight to give details on replacing Old Norcross Road bridge
The Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources is hosting a public information meeting about an upcoming bridge and culvert replacement project on Old Norcross Road Tuesday, April 23 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
DWR is installing a larger culvert to keep the bridge from flooding in severe storms. This new culvert will completely replace the aging bridge, located between Simpson Circle and Buford Highway. A portion of Old Norcross Road will close to through traffic beginning May 23 and is tentatively scheduled to reopen in August.
At the meeting, DWR staff will be available to answer questions and share information on the project, including detour routes. Residents of the Old Norcross Road area are invited to drop in any time during the session to find out how their neighborhood and commute will be affected.
The meeting will take place at Atlanta Korean Seventh Day Adventist Church, 4801 Old Norcross Road in Duluth. Learn more at www.GwinnettWaterProjects.com

Question of Trust by Penny Vincenzi
From Karen Harris, Stone Mountain: This book features battles of the ego and heart along with ideals that seem too lofty to realize. Friendships, marriages, collegial relationships form, break down, and reshape themselves as events unfold in this fast paced read. Tom Knelston is a passionate and charismatic man in 1950’s London who desires reform. The means the labor class is to become involved in politics. The path is long and steep with turns, twists and temptations along the way. After suffering a grievous loss, Tom marries Alice, who fortunately shares his ideals but comes from the ‘posh’ class. As his workload increase and Tom begins to build a following, events force him to make a choice that either make or break his political career. As always, Penny Vincenzi has created a relatable cast of characters, a strong plot with scenes that depict just how challenging it is to be a person of integrity.

Oglethorpe’s coastal defense of Georgia served its purpose
(Continued from previous edition)
Some scholars suspect that James Oglethorpe may even have attempted to redraw versions of early Georgia maps to show fictive branches of the Altamaha River connecting to the St. Johns, thus implicitly redrawing the colony’s southern border. His ambitions, thwarted at St. Georges Island, paid off in 1738, when he persuaded the British Parliament to send a regiment of nearly 700 soldiers to the colony. The majority of these men were stationed at Fort Frederica, but Oglethorpe also posted 200 men farther south at Fort St. Andrews and a smaller company of perhaps 50 or 60 men on the southern end of Cumberland Island.
The first real test of Oglethorpe’s coastal defenses came with the War of Jenkins’ Ear. After an unsuccessful siege of St. Augustine in 1740, Georgians retreated into their fortifications to await the inevitable Spanish retaliation. Finally, in 1742, led by the Spanish governor Manuel De Montiano, 36 naval vessels carrying 2,000 infantrymen appeared off the Georgia coast. The first alarm was raised by the garrison at Fort William, which successfully kept several Spanish galleons from entering the inland waterway.
Forewarned of the invasion, Oglethorpe mounted a spirited defense of his main base at Fort Frederica, culminating in the famous Battle of Bloody Marsh on St. Simons Island, in which his forces soundly defeated the Spanish. While retreating toward St. Augustine, however, Montiano drew level with Fort William on Cumberland Island and launched a massive assault on the tiny garrison, commanded by Lieutenant Alexander Stewart. Once again Georgia’s defenses held firm, and the Spaniards were compelled to withdraw.
The end of King George’s War in 1748 brought a downsizing of Georgia’s defenses. With the disbanding of the regiment in 1749, the southern portions of the colony, once the focus of Oglethorpe’s ambitious energies, entered a prolonged period of neglect and inactivity.
Small garrisons continued to be posted for some time at Fort Frederica and Fort William, but Fort St. Andrews, Fort St. Simon, and the Amelia scout station rapidly fell into disuse. Probably by 1758 even Fort Frederica had been abandoned. During the American Revolution, British and American forces moved back and forth across the region repeatedly, attempting on several occasions to reoccupy Fort William on Cumberland Island. Such efforts, however, were brief and inconsequential. By the 1780s the coastal defense system pioneered by Oglethorpe 50 years earlier had been all but forgotten. It had served its purpose.

Colors in today’s Mystery Photo may help in solving the problem
The colors in today’s Mystery Photo may tell their own story in this unusual natural photograph. Figure out where and what this is, and send your idea to elliott@brack.net, including your hometown. Difficulty: somewhat mysterious.
Lou Camerio of Lilburn easily identified the most recent photo as “….the Morris Island lighthouse near Folly Beach, S.C., adding: “toooo easy.” The photo came from Rob Ponder of Duluth. Others recognizing it included Robert Foreman of Grayson; Jane Bane of Buford; and Jo Shrader of Suwanee.
Mikki Root Dillon of Lilburn adds: “The Morris Island lighthouse is just north of Folly Beach, near Charleston S.C. It used to sit on a large enough island to have a house and outbuildings, but a hurricane wiped the keeper’s house etc. off what was left of the island. A few years ago enough money was raised to help straighten up the lighthouse. I don’t think it is totally straight now…when I go to the end of Folly Beach to paint there, I swear it still leans a bit!”
George Graf of Palmyra, Va. writes: “This unusual and extremely exposed lighthouse is the third to occupy the site. The first two lights, built in 1767 and in the 1830s, withstood hurricanes and wars. The present lighthouse, which began operation in 1876, weathered several powerful hurricanes and even an earthquake, but it’s fighting a long-running battle against erosion. The lighthouse originally stood more than a half-mile inland, but a late 19th century project to build jetties at the entrance to Charleston’s harbor altered currents in the area, which eroded the land around the Morris Island Light. Today, the 161 foot tall tower stands on an island by itself, more than 1,000 feet offshore, and it leans slightly to the northeast due to nature’s constant bombardment, although recent preservation efforts have helped stabilize the structure. The light itself was deactivated in 1962, replaced by the nearby Sullivan’s Island Lighthouse.”
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. adds: “Identification of this lighthouse is helped by the presence of the beautiful Arthur Ravenel Jr. Suspension Bridge in the far, upper-left corner of the photo. The current Morris Island Lighthouse is actually a replacement for the original tower that was built in 1776 but that was deliberately destroyed by the Confederate Army in the early part of the Civil War. With the first shots of the civil war being fired at Fort Sumter in 1861, the original Morris Island lighthouse was destroyed in 1862 to prevent its use by Union troops as a lookout tower. The current Morris Island Lighthouse cost $149,993 to build, the lighthouse had a Fresnel lens powered by lard oil. Although the sole function of the lighthouse was to provide safer navigation for ships and vessels, the lighthouse itself was frequently at risk. When it was first built in 1876, the lighthouse stood 1,200 feet from the coast. By 1938, the erosion was so great that the lighthouse became automated. Less than 30 years later in 1962 the lighthouse was determined to be too close to the shore for safe navigation and so state officials ordered it to close and be replaced by the Charleston Light on the north side of nearby Sullivan’s Island. So although the light of the Morris Island Lighthouse no longer shines today, it remains a beloved historical site for both locals and vacationers alike.”
