Today’s Focus
FOCUS: Learn how home hospice care is a blessing
By Andy Brack | Part of life is death. It can be painful, agonizing, emotional, numbing and scarring – for patients and surviving family members and friends. Fortunately, there are good people who provide trained care to help make the passing of someone easier for the person who is departing and for those preparing to mourn.
FOCUS: Here’re eco-friendly tips for the upcoming school year
By Kasie Bolling | And just like that… summer winds down to a close, school supplies return to the shelves at local retailers, and routines shift to prepare for a new school year. At Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful (GC&B), we are big fans of Gwinnett County neighbors but also of Gwinnett County Public Schools.

“However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.”
— Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874-1965), via Lee Klaer, Duluth.
Continuing objectives

- More creative efforts to support the arts in Gwinnett.
- Advancement and expansion of city historical societies.
- Require establishments that serve alcoholic beverages to halt sales of such products at 1 a.m., and close by 2 a.m.
- Require the Georgia Legislature to meet only once every two years.
- Eliminate single-use plastic packaging and straws in Gwinnett and require instead the use of paper products.
- Gwinnett planners to encourage condos and townhouses instead of apartments.
- County-wide microtransit services.
