Counterterrorism expert to
talk at Tea Party meeting
Kelly Whitmire

A local political group will hear
from an expert on security and terror
next week.
On Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at the
Center at Charles’ Place, the Forsyth
County Tea Party will hear from
Christopher Holton, vice president of
the Center for Security Policy, who
will speak on counterterrorism and
against Sharia laws.
“We'd love to have a good group.
He is coming from Louisiana to speak
with us,” said Tom Daughtry, co-chair
of the party. “I thought it would be
appropriate because of what’s trans
pired here in the last few days [in
Orlando] and people might be a little
more interested in what is going on.”
Holton is the co-author of several
books on national security and works
toward taking away taxpayer funded
pension systems from foreign compa
nies that do business with certain
Islamic governments.
FROM 1A
Hospital
announced that the two hospitals
were merging to create a single sys
tem across metro Atlanta and north
Georgia.
The Northside-Gwinnett Medical
combined system would have nearly
1.400 beds, more than 16,000
employees and about 3,500 physi
cians on staff.
Currently, the Northside Hospital
health care system is an 852-bed,
nonprofit healthcare provider with
more than 150 locations throughout
Georgia.
Gwinnett Medical Center sits under
parent company Gwinnett Health
System, which employs 4,800 associ
ates and has 800 affiliated physicians
serving more than 400,000 patients
annually.
Jackson said construction has been
ongoing at the hospital for a three
floor expansion and a recently
opened surgery center.

“We try to have speakers that are of
interest to our members and any other |
people that want to come out,” |
Daughtry said. “We have speakers of J
all different types to educate us on |
what is going on, as opposed to what
we see on television sometimes.”
The Forsyth County Tea Party
formed in 2009 and is a different enti
ty than the United Tea Party of
Georgia, which meets in Cumming, |
Suwanee and Lawrenceville.
“The local politics we’re concerned
with is the zoning and the never-end- |
ing number of houses popping up all |
over the county overcrowding our |
schools and our roads and our parks |
and everything else,” Daughtry said. |
“When the elections come around |
we host debates and we have in the !
past actually endorsed candidates in |
the Republican primary. Of course the ’
Republican Party can’t do that.”
The party meets on the third '
Tuesday of each month at the Charles’
Place senior center at 595 Dahlonega |
Highway. ’
“[The expansion] will complete us
to about 330 beds. We started out in
2002 with 41 beds. There’s been a
significant amount of growth in a rel
atively [short] amount of time in the
hospital world,” she said. “We just
opened a new surgery center in our
[Breast Care Center] building. It had
a very robust first month, and we'’re
very happy about that.”
She said the hospital is also work
ing with the city of Cumming to
obtain new property. The entire hos
pital sits within the city limits, but
borders unincorporated county land.
“Right now we’ve got annexation
applications in with the city for three
new pieces of property,” Jackson
said. “We’ll start building a new
medical office building. This one will
be probably about 130,000 square
feet.
“We're planning for an additional
building just after that and probably
another one following the campus
master plan.”

were distributed to children through
Forsyth County Schools social workers
and teachers. ;
“Starting school off on the right track
from the very first day is so important to a
student’s overall success,” Corliss said.
“The Stuff the Bus program enables
Forsyth County students to begin a new
school year with the tools and supplies
they need to achieve that success.”
United Way brought Stuff the Bus to
Forsyth County in 2009 through its efforts
to support low-income and at-risk students.
In its first year, 3,000 school supplies
were collected and distributed to about 300
students.
Since then, about 180,000 items have
been donated.
