BRACK: Surprise 80th party for famed restaurateur, Kurt Eisele

By Elliott Brack  |  Years ago, birthday parties for kids and the elderly were more common. With more reaching 75, 80 and 90 years today, it seems fewer of them are being honored with family bashes.

BRACK: Save on electric bill by switching light off when leaving a room

By Elliott Brack   |  Think each month how many routine bills come to your address.  You get invoices for your mortgage or rent, electricity, garbage, water, sewer, Internet, telephone, cable or dish for television, maybe for security and possibly lawn care.  That’s a lot! You probably pay by check or credit card.

BRACK: Gwinnett cities should raise also statues to their founders

By Elliott Brack  |  Snellville in particular and Gwinnett in general are in debt to Dave Emanuel, who is a member of the Snellville City Council.  He had the idea for Snellville to commemorate its 100th anniversary by erecting a statue of the two city founders, Tom  Snell and James Sawyer.

BRACK: Should the United States consider mandatory voting?

By Elliott Brack  |  At first blush, the Australian way of voting in local, state and national elections seems unusual to most Americans. In Australia, voting is mandatory, and in general, about 90 percent of its people vote. Those who do not vote are issued a fine for not voting, which varies from state to state.
