GDP Script/ Top Stories for Dec 3rd  Publish Date:  Dec 1st  HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Sunday, December 3rd and Happy heavenly Birthday to musician Andy Williams. ***12.03.23 - BIRTHDAY - ANDY WILLIAMS*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappy Properties. Over a third of young adults had anxiety or depression during pandemic Study says vegan diet can help rapidly improve heart health Mark Stoops says Kentucky fought the wrong battle in the SEC scheduling war All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Peggy Slappy STORY 1: Over a third of young adults had anxiety or depression during pandemic A study by Northwestern University found that people aged over 40 experienced lower levels of anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic than their younger counterparts. Over one-third of young adults were highly stressed during the pandemic, with anxiety and depression rates significantly higher among those aged 18 to 39 compared to those over 40. The study revealed that 40 percent of young adults had anxiety, and 33 percent had depression, compared to 31 percent and 24 percent, respectively, for those over 40. Economic precarity and responses to social upheaval were identified as factors contributing to young adults' worse mental well-being. STORY 2: Vegan diet can help rapidly improve heart health: study A study by Stanford University found that adopting a vegan diet for eight weeks significantly improved heart health, with the most substantial changes occurring in the first four weeks. The research focused on identical twins to eliminate genetic and upbringing variables. Participants on the vegan diet showed lower cholesterol levels, insulin, and body weight compared to omnivores. Vegan participants experienced a 20 percent drop in fasting insulin, reducing diabetes risk, and lost an average of 4.2 pounds more than omnivores. The study emphasized that incorporating more plant-based foods into one's diet could offer health benefits, even if not adopting a strictly vegan lifestyle. STORY 3: Mark Story: In the SEC football scheduling war, has Kentucky fought the wrong battle? The Southeastern Conference (SEC) football championship game between No. 1 Georgia and No. 8 Alabama will mark the end of an era, as the SEC is scrapping divisions, coinciding with the arrival of Oklahoma and Texas in 2024-25. The new format will feature the top two teams in the league's 16-team standings. Stoops argues that preserving the divisional split would have been more beneficial for Kentucky's football future. The SEC's current division era, in place since 1992, has provided meaningful annual rivalries, competitive balance, and geographic proximity. The article suggests that the focus on creating more diversity in scheduling within the league may not be worth sacrificing the advantages of the divisional format.

We'll be right back Break 2: MOG – TOM WAGES – DTL STORY 4: Could immigrants be America's new swing voter group? A nationwide survey conducted by The Times in partnership with KFF reveals a degree of ambivalence among immigrants, a group considered part of the Democratic base. While many lean Democratic, a significant number are not strongly attached to either major party. The survey, conducted among more than 3,300 immigrants, reflects the diversity of political views within this demographic. Overwhelming majorities indicated that their financial situation improved after moving to the U.S., challenging the conventional wisdom surrounding immigrants' partisan allegiance. The findings highlight a potential swing group among immigrants, showcasing their varied political perspectives and a willingness to consider alternatives. STORY 5: Christmas at Biltmore remains a beloved holiday tradition Biltmore House, the 250-room mansion built by George Vanderbilt, continues its long-standing Christmas tradition, inviting guests to experience the holiday enchantment with twinkling lights, ornaments, and hand-decorated Christmas trees. The estate, set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, offers the Christmas at Biltmore Daytime Celebration from Nov. 3 to Jan. 7, allowing visitors to tour the house, gardens, conservatory, winery, and Antler Hill Village. The Candlelight Christmas Evenings, running from Nov. 3 to Jan. 6, provides an Old World charm with thousands of lights, a 55-foot Norway spruce tree, and luminaries lining the walkways. The estate also features the Italian Renaissance Alive exhibition until Jan. 7, and special stay packages at the Inn on Biltmore Estate and Village Hotel. We'll be back in a moment Break 3:  JACKSON - INGLES 9 – ESOG STORY 6: Beverage Lab exhibit debuts at World of Coke The World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta introduces a new and immersive experience, the Beverage Lab, making it an even more compelling destination for the holiday season. The interactive exhibit allows visitors to actively participate in exploring the science, creativity, and innovation behind Coca-Cola's diverse lineup of drinks. The Beverage Lab features sections like "Look Inside," demystifying flavor creation and carbonation science; "Taste the Past," where visitors can sample classic drinks from Coca-Cola's vault, including New Coke; and "Shape the Future," where opinions on potential soft-drink formulas can be shared. Admission to Beverage Lab is included with general admission to the museum, offering various attractions. STORY 7: State Senate study committee recommends repealing CON law The Senate Study Committee on Certificate of Need (CON) Reform in Georgia has recommended repealing the state law governing hospital construction and medical services, concluding that the decades-old CON law hampers advances in health-care delivery, especially in rural areas. Georgia's CON law, in place since 1979, requires applicants for new medical facilities or health-care services to demonstrate the need to the state Department of Community Health. The committee's recommendation includes repealing the CON law or introducing reform measures that exempt certain healthcare services and facilities from the CON process, aiming to enhance healthcare delivery in the state. We'll have final thoughts after this. Break 4: Henssler 60 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Around 200 soldiers from the 108th have been activated from the unit's armories in Calhoun, Dalton, Cedartown, and Canton. The soldiers will undergo pre-deployment training at Fort Stewart, Texas, and Germany before arriving in Kosovo as part of the NATO Kosovo Force (KFOR) for a peacekeeping mission. The deployment is expected to last around eight months. A sendoff ceremony will be held on January 2, 2024, at the Calhoun campus of Georgia Northwestern Technical College.

Both maps aim to comply with a federal court ruling that declared previous maps violated the Voting Rights Act. Democrats argue that the proposed maps make unnecessary changes beyond the court order, while they have released an alternative map focusing on the specific districts identified in the court ruling. Critics also highlight extensive redrawing and incumbent pairings in the Republican-backed maps for partisan reasons. STORY 7: State Senate study committee recommends repealing CON law A committee in Georgia, comprising lawmakers, healthcare executives, and an insurance industry representative, has recommended repealing the state law governing hospital construction and medical services. The Senate Study Committee on Certificate of Need (CON) Reform believes that the decades-old CON law is hindering advances in healthcare delivery, especially in rural Georgia. The CON law, enacted in 1979 to reduce healthcare costs by avoiding duplication, requires applicants to demonstrate the need for a new medical facility or service in a community. The committee's recommendation for repeal or reform will now be considered by the full Senate during the 2024 legislative session. We'll have closing comments after this.  COMMERCIAL: Henssler 60  SIGN OFF –   Thanks again for listening to today's Cherokee Tribune Ledger podcast. .

Frison faces charges of murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The shooting took place on September 13, resulting in the death of a 49-year-old individual. Frison was apprehended by Cobb Police on November 25, then transferred to Atlanta police custody and subsequently to the Fulton County Sheriff's custody on November 27. Frison had previous charges for drug possession and other offenses in Cobb County. STORY 2: UPDATE: Grand Jury Declined to Bring Charges in Police Shooting of Austell Man Last year, a Cobb grand jury decided not to charge a Cobb police officer, Ian McConnell, in the shooting death of 28-year-old Devonte Brown. Brown was killed on August 18, 2021, after a car chase involving a stolen vehicle. The grand jury's decision was revealed after Brown's lawyers released body camera footage of the incident. The footage shows Officer McConnell firing 12 shots into Brown's vehicle after it collided with police cars. Brown's family and their attorney, Harry Daniels, condemned the shooting, claiming Brown was not a threat. Daniels plans to file a civil rights violation lawsuit and explore a wrongful death lawsuit.

The renovations also included turning one outdoor space into a dog run.

STORY 5: Georgia again collecting gasoline tax The temporary suspension of Georgia's gasoline tax, initiated by Gov. Brian Kemp in September, has expired. The state Department of Revenue will now resume collecting the 29 cents per gallon tax from motorists. The decision not to extend the suspension comes as fuel prices have dropped significantly, with Georgia currently having the third-lowest average price at $2.79 per gallon, according to AAA.

STORY 2: Cobb Commission OKs $1.6 Million for 2025 MLB All-Star Game The Cobb Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve $1.6 million for security and related expenses for hosting the 2025 MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park. The funding, part of the county's 2025 budget, includes $785,000 for overtime for police officers, firefighters, and 911 operators. The remaining $800,000 will cover security and traffic equipment, planning, training programs, and meals for staff. The decision comes two years after MLB withdrew the 2021 All-Star Game from Truist Park in response to Georgia's voting law. Cobb Chairwoman Lisa Cupid expressed appreciation for the opportunity to host the event again. STORY 3: 'It's not a fee, it's a tax': Republican Commissioners Oppose Stormwater Fee Cobb Commissioner Keli Gambrill reiterated her opposition to a proposed stormwater utility fee, characterizing it as a tax without direct benefits. Cobb Water System Director Judy Jones presented details of the proposed fee, which would fund stormwater maintenance and improvements. The fee, based on impervious surface area, would result in modest increases for most residences but substantial ones for large businesses. Gambrill argued that the fee does not address existing staffing shortages and criticized the approval of a 24-inch pipe that redirected stormwater onto another resident's property. Commissioner JoAnn Birrell also opposed the fee, linking it to ongoing revenue transfers to the county's general fund. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is facing a potential class-action lawsuit from current and former athletes seeking $1.4 billion in damages for violating antitrust laws by restricting compensation for the use of athletes' "names, images, and likenesses" (NIL). The NCAA argues that such damages could force the curtailing of college sports programs across the country and has appealed the case. This legal battle comes amid a broader shift in policies surrounding college athletes' compensation, with increased focus on the athletes' earning rights, particularly in the context of NIL endorsements. The NCAA's longstanding amateurism model is under scrutiny as the landscape of college sports evolves.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: TOM WAGES – JACKSON EMC Story 6: ANGIE CLAWSON SALVATION ARMY And now, here is Keith Ippolito's conversation with Angie Clawson from the Salvation Army.

Break: ESOG – INGLES 8 STORY 7: 30-year mortgage rates keep falling, move below 7.5% The average rate on 30-year fixed mortgages decreased to 7.41%, down from 7.55% the previous week, according to Bankrate's weekly national survey. This drop may signal a prolonged decline in mortgage rates, influenced by factors such as a slowing job market and signs that the Federal Reserve's efforts to combat inflation are effective. Mortgage rates are also impacted by factors like decreased mortgage applications and lenders vying for a shrinking pool of applicants. The Federal Reserve's decision to pause interest rate hikes contributes to the shift in mortgage rates. Economists anticipate a further decrease in mortgage rates, potentially falling below 7% during the winter months.   STORY 8: Gov. Brian Kemp's chief of staff moving to Georgia Power Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's chief of staff, Trey Kilpatrick, is set to join Georgia Power as senior vice president of external affairs from January 15. Kilpatrick, who served as chief of staff since 2020, has experience working with the late U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson and an Atlanta-based investment firm. Georgia Power's CEO, Kim Greene, expressed Kilpatrick's dedication to Georgia's growth and well-being. Lauren Curry, Kemp's deputy chief of staff, will succeed Kilpatrick as chief of staff, marking the first female in this role in Georgia's history, while Brad Bohannon will become the deputy chief of staff.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Henssler 60 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

The map also creates nearly two dozen House districts with white minorities, providing an opportunity for people of color, including Hispanic and Asian voters, to elect candidates of their choice.

Break 1: PEGGY SLAPPY   STORY 1: Lawrenceville resident trains to be a U.S. Navy logistic specialist Seaman Nhien Pham, a resident of Lawrenceville, is undergoing training as a logistic specialist at Naval Technical Training Center (NTTC) Meridian. Pham, a 2020 graduate of the University of North Georgia, joined the Navy for educational opportunities and to help her parents acquire U.S. citizenship. Her role involves providing supplies for ship stores and squadrons, playing an essential part in ship and squadron operations. Pham credits her success in the military to values learned in Lawrenceville, emphasizing respect, discipline, and the importance of staying on the right path. NTTC Meridian focuses on developing dedicated and motivated sailors and Marines.   STORY 2: Math Teacher Demetrius Nelson Kicks Off Campaign For Gwinnett School Board District 3 Seat Demetrius Nelson, a veteran math teacher, has officially launched his campaign for the Gwinnett County Board of Education's District 3 seat, currently held by Mary Kay Murphy. Nelson, with 15 years of teaching experience, emphasizes shared principles of sympathy, empathy, trust, fairness, and credibility in his candidacy. He joins at least three other candidates in the nonpartisan school board elections in May 2024. Nelson's campaign focuses on the "Four Cs": courage, communication, community, and character. He aims to improve the balance of respect among students, parents, teachers, school leaders, and community businesses for better school outcomes.     STORY 3: Gwinnett Seeking Poll Officials For 2024 Election Cycle Gwinnett County is organizing two hiring events on Dec. 4 and Dec. 18 to recruit poll officials for the 2024 elections cycle. The events aim to attract residents from diverse backgrounds, including those fluent in multiple languages.

We'll be right back Break 2: M.O.G. – TOM WAGES – DTL   STORY 4: Zoom calls and video meetings can lead to extreme fatigue: study A study by Graz University of Technology in Austria has provided neurophysiological evidence that Zoom calls cause "extreme fatigue" in workers and students, a phenomenon known as Zoom fatigue. The research showed that a 50-minute online lecture exhausted participants significantly more than an in-person lecture of the same duration. The findings highlight the impact of video conferencing on well-being, interpersonal relationships, and organizational communication. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding of the psychological and physiological mechanisms behind video conference fatigue to develop effective coping strategies.   STORY 5: Exercise can improve brain function even after poor sleep: study A new study suggests that just 20 minutes of exercise can enhance brain function after a poor night's sleep. Mental performance improves with moderate exercise, regardless of sleep quality or oxygen levels. Chronic sleep deprivation affects nearly 40% of the population and is linked to various health issues. The research explored how sleep, oxygen, and exercise impact cognitive performance. Findings indicated that even in low-oxygen conditions or after sleep deprivation, a short cycling session improved cognitive tasks. This improvement might be due to various factors such as changes in brain-regulating hormones and psychophysiological aspects like cerebral blood flow, arousal, and motivation. The study challenges the notion that cognitive performance relies solely on specific brain areas, suggesting a more complex interaction across different brain regions.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  GLOW LIGHT SHOW - ESOG - INGLES 7   STORY 6: LEAH MCGRATH And now here is my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on dividing calories.   STORY 7: LEAH MCGRATH ***LEAH MCGRATH INERVIEW***   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: JACKSON EMC – Henssler 60   Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

The event drew around 5,000 to 6,000 people and featured live music, including Christmas tunes played by A-Town A-List.

Families of the victims attended the event, receiving white roses and having candles lit in their loved ones' honor.

The guest speaker, Amanda Planchard, shared her experience as the older sister of Charles "Chet" Planchard, who was murdered in 1992. The event facilitated connections and remembrance, offering support to families dealing with tragedy.   STORY 5: Kennesaw State Enrollment Surpasses 45,000 For the fifth consecutive year, Kennesaw State University's enrollment has increased, reaching 45,152 students for fall 2023. The university has witnessed continuous growth since fall 2019 when it had 37,807 students. Of the current enrollment, 5,763 students reside on KSU's Kennesaw and Marietta campuses.

While sizable crowds were observed at Kennesaw's Town Center Mall and Cumberland Mall on the day after Thanksgiving, shoppers noted that the crowds were noticeably smaller than in previous years. Online shopping is often blamed for this shift, but Chris McCoy, senior general manager at Cumberland Mall, pointed out that Black Friday deals now extend beyond the day itself, spanning the entire week or even the entire month of November. The change has contributed to a more spread-out and less intense shopping experience, with crowds estimated at around a quarter of those seen five years ago. The impact of online shopping and extended sale periods is evident in the changing dynamics of in-person Black Friday shopping.       Break: Henssler :60  Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

The judge ruled that the existing maps, drawn by the Republican majority in 2021, overlooked significant population growth among minorities since 2010. Democrats are likely to gain ground, with the mandate to add one Black majority congressional district, two Georgia Senate districts, and five state House seats. Although Republicans lost seats in the 2022 elections, they retained solid majorities in both chambers, making immediate Democratic control unlikely. The special session for redistricting is expected to be brief. STORY 5: Cherokee County Juvenile Court Receives Over $740,000 in Grant Funding Cherokee County Juvenile Court has been awarded $741,504 in federal grants to establish a Family Treatment Court and enhance the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court. A $363,847 three-year grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention will help establish the Family Treatment Court, focusing on families facing dependency allegations due to parental substance abuse.

Break 1: MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett Jail Dogs Supporters Launch Petition To Save Program The Gwinnett Sheriff's Office has suspended its Jail Dogs program due to the expansion of its mental health unit in the county jail, sparking public outcry. The Jail Dogs program, active for 13 years, pairs inmates with dogs for therapeutic rehabilitation. The program, ending on December 15, has drawn support from the community, leading to the launch of a petition on Change.org titled "Save the Gwinnett Jail Dog Program." The petition, with a goal of 1,000 signatures, emphasizes the program's value in teaching inmates valuable skills, fostering life-changing lessons, and helping overcrowded shelters. The Gwinnett Sheriff's Office has not ruled out the possibility of the program's return in the future.   STORY 2: Health and Wellness Resource Fair to be held in Snellville The Georgia Advocacy Office is hosting a Health and Wellness Resource Fair for people with disabilities and older adults at the Gwinnett County Public Library Centerville Branch in Snellville on November 29.

None resulted in fatalities as Narcan was administered in each case. This issue is a manifestation of the nationwide opioid crisis, with teens unknowingly consuming substances containing fentanyl.

The company has submitted a commercial rezoning application for a 5,400-square-foot restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, a two-lane drive-thru, and 71 parking spaces. The proposed location is adjacent to Redeemer Church, and if approved, the church plans to subdivide its property. The Chick-fil-A will be positioned near existing establishments, including Wendy's, Waffle House, Aldi, Walmart Supercenter, and more. The rezoning requires approval from Gwinnett County's Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners.   STORY 5: New Year's resolutions? Most Americans believe that concept is outdated A survey of 2,000 Americans revealed that 55% believe the concept of New Year's resolutions is outdated. Millennials are the most disillusioned, with 66% expressing disinterest. Over half of respondents give up on resolutions by March, and only 5% stick to them for a full year. Reasons for abandonment include feeling too pressured (40%), perceiving no lasting change (34%), and viewing resolutions as a chore (34%). Despite finding resolutions unrealistic, 52% of respondents are interested in setting goals for 2024, with Gen Z (67%) and millennials (71%) showing the most interest. Common resolutions relate to general health (54%) and food (51%).   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  JACKSON - ESOG - INGLES 6   STORY 6: Eight Electric Vehicle-Related Companies Moving Into Satellite Place In Duluth Hyundai Glovis, part of Hyundai's logistics arm, is among eight electric vehicle (EV) industry companies moving to the Satellite Place office complex near Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth. This expansion aligns with Hyundai's work on a new EV plant near Savannah in 2025. Banyan Street Capital, which leased the office spaces, sees it as a positive impact on Georgia's growing EV industry. Other EV-related companies leasing space at Satellite Place include Sungeel Recycling Park Georgia, Kum Young Eng America, FNS, 3Plus Logistics, Happynarae America, Wonbang Tech USA, and SK i.e. Technology.   STORY 7: U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock tours proposed national park site at Ocmulgee Mounds U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock has announced plans to introduce legislation in Congress for the creation of Georgia's first national park, following a tour of the Ocmulgee Mounds in Macon, a prehistoric Native American site. The Ocmulgee Mounds, established as a national historical park in the 1930s, holds significant cultural and historical value. The National Park Service recently sent a study to Congress supporting the protection of the Muscogee Creek Nation's historic homeland in Middle Georgia. Warnock, along with other lawmakers, is collaborating on legislation to designate the Ocmulgee Mounds as a national park.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: GCPS – Henssler 60   Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Gas prices have fallen for nine consecutive weeks, reaching below $3 a gallon in 11 states. The downward trend may continue, potentially dropping below last winter's $3.05 per gallon, depending on OPEC's decision on a production cut. Over 65,000 gas stations offer prices at $2.99 or less, contributing to an estimated $1.2 billion savings for Americans during Thanksgiving week. Despite favorable gas prices, 20% of respondents face budget constraints due to inflation in other areas. STORY 2: Georgia State Patrol and MCCD Intensify Efforts for Thanksgiving Travel Safety The Georgia State Patrol (GSP) and Motor Carrier Compliance Division (MCCD) are gearing up for the Thanksgiving travel period, spanning 102 hours from 6 p.m. yesterday to 11:59 p.m. on November 26. With AAA predicting 55.4 million travelers, GSP urges motorists to prioritize safety, emphasizing pre-trip vehicle inspections, adherence to speed limits, and avoidance of impaired or distracted driving. Colonel Hitchens stresses heightened patrol efforts to deter unsafe behaviors, noting the significance of arriving safely for Thanksgiving gatherings. Travel tips include obeying traffic laws, using seatbelts, and avoiding distractions. Last year, 749 crashes, 18 fatalities, and 390 DUI arrests occurred during the holiday period. Daily travel time suggestions are provided, along with vehicle preparation tips such as checking lights, wipers, and fluids. Updated traffic fatality counts will be available on the Department of Public Safety's Twitter page. STORY 3: Must Ministries 21st Annual Gobble Jog Boosts Thanksgiving Spirit The 21st annual Gobble Jog, aiding MUST Ministries, will gather over 10,000 runners at Marietta Square on this morning, supported by nearly 300 volunteers. Offering various run options—timed 10K and 5K, along with untimed 5K, 1K, and Tot Trot—the event accommodates all skill levels. Families and friends nationwide join in, and major teams from local companies, schools, and churches unite to back MUST Ministries' cause. A Phantom or Virtual runner option is available, ensuring a T-shirt for participants unable to attend in person. By partaking in the Gobble Jog 5K, individuals contribute to MUST Ministries' food provision efforts for the local community, making a tangible difference on Thanksgiving morning.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Nov 22nd   Publish Date:  Nov 21st   HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, November 22nd and Happy heavenly Birthday to Rodney Dangerfield. ***Rodney Dangerfield on Carson*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappy Properties. New treatment offers hope for Long COVID patients to restore their smell GCPS and partners to use federal grant to address school psychologist shortage Federal Railroad Administrator Amit Bose's Visit To Gwinnett Highlights Need To Address Blocked Train Crossings Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingle Markets on essential oils. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: PEGGY SLAPPY   STORY 1: New treatment offers hope for Long COVID patients to restore their smell Researchers have discovered a new 10-minute treatment that may restore the sense of smell in patients with long COVID. The treatment involves injecting anesthetic directly into the stellate ganglion on one side of the neck, stimulating the autonomic nervous system. The minimally invasive procedure, guided by CT imaging, has been successful in treating post-COVID parosmia, a common symptom affecting the sense of smell. The method, taking less than 10 minutes and requiring no sedation, has been previously used for conditions like cluster headaches and phantom limb pain. The study reported positive outcomes and near 100% resolution of phantosmia in some patients.   STORY 2: GCPS and partners to use federal grant to address school psychologist shortage Gwinnett County Public Schools, Paulding County School District, and Georgia State University have received a $3.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to address the shortage of school psychologists. The funds will be used to recruit, train, and support professionals from local communities, preparing them to enter the field of school psychology. The grant aims to enhance the quality of education and support services within Gwinnett County Public Schools, particularly addressing the increasing mental health needs of students in the post-pandemic era. The initiative aligns with the district's strategic plan to support the holistic development of students.   STORY 3: Federal Railroad Administrator Amit Bose's Visit To Gwinnett Highlights Need To Address Blocked Train Crossings Federal Railroad Administrator Amit Bose visited Duluth to discuss railway safety and the challenges posed by trains blocking local roads with U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath and Gwinnett County leaders. The meeting addressed safety concerns related to railroad crossings and followed the Federal Railroad Administration awarding $888,000 to Gwinnett for studying the elimination of three crossings. The crossings at Arcado, Oak/Gloster, and Hosea Roads are on the CSX rail line, and the goal is to explore alternative means to facilitate vehicle movement over or under the tracks without interruptions. The discussions also touched on concerns about pedestrian crossings and quiet zones near residential areas.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back Break 2: M.O.G. – TOM WAGES – DTL   STORY 4: Gwinnett County Public Schools sets calendars for next two school years Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia will start the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years on Aug. 5, 2024, and Aug. 4, 2025, respectively, but the approved calendars do not include holidays for Eid, despite advocacy from Muslim students and a school board member. The calendars were chosen by district leaders following a public input process, with the majority supporting options that closely resembled the existing calendar. Options Two and Four, which included additional holidays for Rosh Hashanah and Eid, received less support. School Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan expressed disappointment at the lack of community support for inclusive calendars.   STORY 5: Scientists solve the mystery of red wine headaches Scientists from the University of California, Davis, have identified the reason why drinking red wine can lead to headaches. They found that a natural compound or flavonol called quercetin in red wine can interfere with alcohol metabolism, leading to headaches. Quercetin, a healthy antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables, including grapes, blocks the metabolism of alcohol when it enters the bloodstream, causing the accumulation of the toxin acetaldehyde. The study also revealed that different wines had varying amounts of quercetin, depending on sunlight exposure during grape growth. The researchers plan to conduct human clinical trials to further explore the causes of red wine headaches.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  ESOG - INGLES 3 – GCPS   STORY 6: LEAH MCGRATH And now here is my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on essential oils.   STORY 7: LEAH MCGRATH ***LEAH MCGRATH INERVIEW***   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Henssler 60   Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Nov 21st  Publish Date:  Nov 20th   HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, November 21st, and heavenly Happy Birthday to MLB HOF Stan ‘The Man' Musial. ***3000th Hit*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Kia Mall of Georgia. Fire Officials Say Business Fire in Lawrenceville Was Arson Volunteers Say Gwinnett Sheriff's Office Has Put Jail Dogs Program On 'Hiatus Indefinitely' Gwinnett Schools Still Facing Discipline Disparities As Issues in Elementary Schools Rise All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG – Peggy Slappy   STORY 1: Fire Officials Say Business Fire in Lawrenceville Was Arson A business fire in Lawrenceville earlier this week has been confirmed as arson, according to Gwinnett fire investigators. The incident occurred at 553 Seaboard Industrial Drive NE, where multiple work vehicles owned by Ernst Concrete, a concrete company, were found burning. The fire did not extend to any structures, and firefighters brought it under control at 3:08 a.m. No injuries were reported. Fire investigators, in collaboration with local and federal law enforcement agencies, are conducting a joint investigation. Authorities encourage anyone with information to contact the Gwinnett County Fire Investigations Section or the Georgia Arson Control Hotline, with a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for arson.     STORY 2: Volunteers Say Gwinnett Sheriff's Office Has Put Jail Dogs Program On 'Hiatus Indefinitely' The Gwinnett Jail Dogs Program, which has been rehabilitating inmates through dog care for over a decade, is ending as the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office puts the program on "hiatus." The program pairs inmates with dogs for care, contributing to both the animals' rescue and inmates' rehabilitation. The Sheriff's Office decision, focusing on expanding the mental health program, leaves Jail Dogs officials seeking homes for four dogs paired with inmates. They are urgently seeking Gwinnett residents to provide foster homes for the dogs. Established in 2010, the program has rescued thousands of animals from euthanasia, providing both training and purpose to inmate handlers.   STORY 3: Gwinnett Schools Still Facing Discipline Disparities As Issues in Elementary Schools Rise A presentation on student discipline in Gwinnett County Public Schools revealed an increase in issues involving younger students, particularly in grades kindergarten through 2. Discipline is up on average during the first quarter of this school year compared to last year, with a spike in frequency and severity of behaviors in elementary school students. The update also highlighted disproportionately higher numbers of Black and Hispanic students facing "exclusionary" discipline. The district aims to address these issues through community partnerships, targeted interventions in elementary schools, restorative practices training, social and emotional learning training, family engagement strategies, social worker supports, and mental health and wrap-around supports.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back   Break 2: Glow Light Show – TOM WAGES – DTL   STORY 4: Can you travel with medical marijuana or CBD gummies? Airlines, cruise ships have rules A Texas woman claims she was banned for life from Carnival cruises for attempting to board a ship in Miami with CBD gummies. While CBD is legal in Florida, cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, Virgin, and Disney, prohibit it on board. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) notes that marijuana and certain cannabis-infused products, including some CBD oil, remain illegal under federal law. However, products with less than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis are an exception. Travelers are advised to check local regulations at their destination, and TSA officers may involve law enforcement if they find marijuana or illegal drugs during security screening.   STORY 5: Lilburn-based Kittle Homes recognized for homebuilder excellence Kittle Homes, based in Lilburn, received two Gold OBIE Awards for townhome design at the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association's annual OBIE awards gala. The awards, presented by the Atlanta Sales and Marketing Council, recognized Kittle Homes in the Best Building Design categories for townhomes in the price ranges of $300,000 to $399,999 and $400,000 to $499,999. Madison Trace in Lawrenceville, offering low-maintenance, high-luxury townhomes, and The Preserve at Killian Hill in Lilburn, featuring luxury townhomes close to nature and urban amenities, were praised for their design excellence. Kittle Homes, a family-owned business with nearly 75 years of experience, expressed gratitude for the awards, emphasizing their commitment to exceeding homebuyers' expectations.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: JACKSON EMC - ESOG - INGLES 2   STORY 6: How You Can Help The Salvation Army of Gwinnett This Christmas Season The Salvation Army of Gwinnett County is hosting its annual Angel Tree program, offering an opportunity to support those in need during the Christmas season. Approximately 2,000 angels are available for adoption, providing an avenue for community members to contribute. Interested participants can adopt an angel by visiting the Angel Tree website, stopping by The Salvation Army of Gwinnett County, or emailing a request. The program aims to provide new toys, clothes, and other items to hundreds of children and seniors in the county, ensuring a joyful Christmas despite financial challenges. All gifts must be dropped off at The Salvation Army of Gwinnett by December 1. Captain Analese Ryerson expressed gratitude for the community's generosity in providing a happy Christmas to those facing difficulties.     STORY 7: 'Red, Blue and You' Celebration Draws Largest Crowd to Date The annual Red, Blue and You celebration in Gwinnett, honoring first responders, experienced its largest attendance yet with around 600 people at the Buford Arena. Organized by Raymer Sale, the event aimed to express gratitude to first responders for their service to Gwinnett County citizens. Gwinnett County Commission Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson and representatives from Piedmont Healthcare and the Northside Hospital Foundation spoke at the event. Lawrenceville Police Chief John Mullin recognized officers involved in a collision during a car chase. Additionally, Amy and Cliff Bray, who lost their home in a fire, were acknowledged. Various first responders from different departments were recognized for their service.       We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: GCPS - Henssler 60   Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of November 18th      Publish Date: November 17th    Henssler :15  From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast    Today is Tuesday, November 21st and Happy heavenly Birthday to MLB HOF Stan ‘The Man' Musial. ***STAN MUSIAL – 3000th HIT*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Rosalynn Carter dies at age 96 Warnock looking to extend insulin cost cap to all diabetes patients Cherokee Included in Drought-Impacted Disaster Areas   Plus, Bruce Jenkins sits down with Leah McGrath to discuss essential oils.   We'll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you're looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    Commercial: CU of GA   STORY 1: Rosalynn Carter dies at age 96 Rosalynn Carter, former first lady and advocate for mental health reform, passed away at her home in Plains at the age of 96. She played a pioneering role in destigmatizing mental illness, pushing for legislative reform, and co-founding the immunization program Every Child By Two. Alongside her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, they continued their commitment to public service through the Carter Center, focusing on global projects. Rosalynn Carter was recognized as one of the most activist first ladies, contributing significantly to various causes during and after her time in the White House. STORY 2: Warnock looking to extend insulin cost cap to all diabetes patients U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock and Sen. John Kennedy are collaborating on federal legislation to extend the cap on insulin costs to the general population. Initially, Warnock played a key role in introducing a provision limiting insulin costs to $35 per month for Medicare enrollees in the Inflation Reduction Act passed last year. The senators' study revealed that over a quarter of U.S. counties, including 105 in Georgia, are "Insulin Deserts" with high uninsured rates and diabetes prevalence. The report emphasizes the need for legislation to make insulin affordable for both privately insured and uninsured Americans due to its high costs compared to other countries. STORY 3: Cherokee Included in Drought-Impacted Disaster Areas U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has declared 11 additional Georgia counties in North Georgia as natural disaster areas due to prolonged drought conditions. This follows a previous natural disaster declaration covering four counties in Northwest Georgia. The newly added counties, including Bartow, Cherokee, Dawson, Fannin, Floyd, Gilmer, Gordon, Lumpkin, Murray, Pickens, and Whitfield, have experienced eight or more weeks of severe, extreme, or exceptional drought. The declaration enables the Farm Service Agency to provide essential emergency credit to affected farmers for addressing drought-related challenges, such as replacing equipment or livestock, reorganizing farming operations, or refinancing loans. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.    Back in a moment  Break: DRAKE - ESOG – HELLER LAW STORY 4: WEATHER Early Thanksgiving travelers, especially in north Georgia, must remain weather-conscious on Tuesday.
