Today we are continuing our annual sermon series, New Year Essentials. These sermons address subjects to which we must repeatedly return for the glory of God and the transformation of our lives, individually and corporately. These are different sermons, taking different angles, on issues we need to come back to again and again. Today, we are freshly reminded that Jesus' church has a unique opportunity to show the world that true ethnic harmony is only found in Him. Audio | Notes

On January 3, 1997 a woman named Margaret Anselmo was found brutally murdered. She had been raped and her skull was crushed in. The crime happened as the entire town and law enforcement was consumed by the Spokane serial killer case. It was clear Margaret was not one of this serial killer's many victims.Now, after nearly 29 years, the family of homicide victim Margaret Anselmo finally have some answers about what happened that awful January day. Anselmo was fatally beaten and sexually assaulted in what investigators believe was most likely a ‘random act of violence.'If you want to see more Help Me Hayley: Cold Case Files, click the follow button or subscribe to our YouTube channel (@NonStopLocalNews) and ring the bell to be notified every time a new case drops.

Here's some good news/bad news as we begin this Friday. First the good: We made it to Friday. Now the bad or not-so-great news: you may be spending this weekend indoors. A big wave of Arctic air will send temperatures sliding downward beginning today. Then Sunday the second act moves in, a snowstorm bringing the potential for heavy snow, including here in Northeast Ohio, while in some places in the mid and deep South possible catastrophic ice accumulations are predicted. Complicating the situation: a regional salt shortage that may impact road clearing efforts. The story begins our discussion of the week's news on the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.” Power outages could result from the winter storm this weekend but even on calm weather days, Ohio is having a hard time keeping up with rising energy demand. One main driver of that increased demand: data centers. Columbus has become a key location for these centers, with one report concluding it's the second-largest hub in the Great Lakes region. But those centers are popping up everywhere including in Stark County for instance. If you're heading to Downtown anytime soon, you should know that the city has updated its rates for on-street parking and enforcement. The new digital, coinless metered system will give drivers the opportunity to park at a meter for up to four hours, but at increasing hourly rates and enforcement will be extended seven days a week—except in Ohio City where Sundays will not be enforced. Cleveland City Council members are not yet sold on the Bibb administrations "pedal to the metal" approach to shut down Burke Lakefront Airport to open the acreage to lakefront redevelopment. Mayor Justin Bibb has said he would like to see Burker shuttered by 2029. The future of Burke Lakefront will be the topic of our next “Sound of Ideas Community Tour” on March 4. Property owners in Ohio's largest counties are among those that will see their next property reappraisals delayed by a year. Sixteen counties including Franklin, Cuyahoga and Hamilton are pushing back the process. Cuyahoga will next appraise properties in 2031. Fewer Ohioans are enrolled in Affordable Care Act or Obamacare plans after additional subsidies to offset costs put into effect during the pandemic expired last month.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin episode   I've been traveling solo since 1972. Now you can experience for yourself the Best Selling Book Series: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, A Woman's Guide to Travel and Destinations in Her Prime, a book series found on Amazon. Please rate this podcast and the book!     The FAQ is "What's my plan if I get sick, injured, or suddenly can't continue my trip alone?"   Today's Mistake- Staying in a destination too long because leaving feels like failure Travel Advice:  Organize your apps FAQ: "What's my plan if I get sick, injured, or suddenly can't continue my trip alone?" You talk confidence and preparation, but many women want a realistic breakdown of escalation: minor illness vs. hospital vs. trip-ending events, and who steps in when independence temporarily fails.   Answer: As a solo senior traveler, confidence doesn't mean pretending nothing will go wrong. It means knowing exactly what you'll do if it does. Before every trip, I decide three things: where I would go for medical care, how I would get there, and who would help me make decisions if I wasn't at my best. I carry travel medical insurance, keep my medications and health information accessible, and I don't hesitate to slow the trip or stop it if my body tells me to. Independence includes knowing when to accept help—and planning for it before you need it. Today's destination: Milwaukee, WI   Milwaukee is 92 miles from Chicago and is a place I visited while I lived in the Midwest. I've been planning this episode for years and love my Wisconsin friends.   Some fond memories include Summerfest in July for seeing great music, like Elvin Bishop, and watching Brewers baseball, with the mascot Bernie Brewer sliding when they hit a home run or win a game. The mascot used to slide into a 20-foot-high beer mug, but now they slide into the dugout.   https://www.jsonline.com/videos/sports/mlb/brewers/2019/04/04/taking-ride-down-bernie-brewers-slide-miller-park/3363629002/   Another memory is visiting Marquette University and the surrounding student areas. Take a stroll to the East Side and see the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Go to a sports event if you can. I'm a fan of college basketball, so take in a game for me.   You should check out the college scene, with at least a dozen higher education institutions here. There are about 70,000 college students here, the largest in Wisconsin, and the 6th largest in the US and Canada, with a high number of college students per capita. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colleges_and_universities_of_Milwaukee The Third Ward of Milwaukee is buzzing these days. It's a historic area with boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants, and a public market. For a rainy day, you may check out one of the museums, like the Art Museum, known for its "Wings" of the Quadracci Pavilion, or the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibits. There's also a Harley-Davidson Museum and a Pabst Mansion.   If you want to see more beer artifacts, visit the Lakefront Brewery and consider a tour. On the Lakefront, you will find Discovery World, another museum with science, tech, and maritime exhibits. I enjoy walking the Lake Michigan Shoreline. You can find a bench and relax while people-watching. The riverwalk features public art and a bronze statue of The Fonz. If you travel in the winter, you will be chilled. Bone-chilling winds can be felt on Lake Michigan, so dress for that. In summer, it's a delight, but be aware of the changing weather conditions at all times. Stick to the main tourist attractions and don't wander far away. Be cautious if alone at night. Guided tours may be a good idea if you want company as a solo traveler. Don't Miss Food Scene: Try local specialties like cheese curds, bratwurst, and craft beers. Milwaukee Public Market: A foodie haven with a variety of vendors. Jazz in the Park: If visiting during the summer, Cathedral Square Park offers free outdoor concerts. Tips for Solo Travelers Stay in centrally located accommodations, such as the Downtown or the Historic Third Ward, for easy access to attractions. Join a guided tour for a fun way to explore with others (walking, brewery, or riverboat tours). Today's Mistake- Staying in a destination too long  Dr. Travelbest discusses choosing destinations wisely and the emotional trap of staying put when it's clearly not working—due to loneliness, stress, health concerns, or safety concerns. The mistake is prioritizing the plan over personal well-being. I stayed too long in the heat of Palm Springs in the summer. That was too hot, so I suggest finding a cooler spot in the middle of summer.   Today's Travel Advice-Organized APPS save time   Connect with Dr Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news

Cleveland extends paid street parking hours and increases rates, city leaders discuss On January 1, the city of Cleveland implemented new rules for street parking Downtown and in Ohio City. Paid parking hours now run from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. Formerly, street parking was free after 6 p.m. on weekdays and always free on weekends. Ohio City will follow the same schedule, though Sundays will remain free. The changes include higher standard rates, with additional increases possible in special event zones. City officials say the goal is to improve turnover and availability in high-demand areas. Some residents and business owners, however, have raised concerns about the added cost for evenings and weekends. The changes come as downtown activity continues to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Downtown Cleveland Inc., foot traffic and visitor activity reached more than 90% of pre-pandemic levels in 2023. And while leisure travel has largely returned, business travel is gaining momentum too— up 7% last year and bringing nearly $200 million in revenue to Cuyahoga County. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll discuss how will these changes shape daily life downtown, and what might they mean for Cleveland's future economic development. Guests:- Matthew Moss, Senior Strategist, Thriving Communities, City of Cleveland- Lucas Reeve, Senior Advisor, City of Cleveland- Sam McNulty, Co-Founder & Owner, Market Garden Brewery Speaker revisits site of historic 1854 Frederick Douglass address Later in the hour, we will talk about a historic speech delivered by abolitionist Frederick Douglass at Western Reserve Academy in Hudson. Douglass' great-great-great-grandson Kenneth Morris Jr. will be at Western Reserve Academy on Jan. 23 as the capstone for the school's weeklong observance of the life and legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Morris will be in the same space that Douglass delivered his historic commencement address in 1854 when the site was known as Western Reserve College. In the speech, Douglass debunked the faulty science that underpinned pro-slavery arguments. The commencement address was the subject of an award-winning documentary, “Just and Perfect” produced by Western Reserve Academy and featured present-day students reciting portions of the speech. We will talk to the film's writer and producer about the film and the speech. Guests:-CeCe Payne, Writer and Producer, “Just and Perfect,” Bicentennial Special Projects Manager, Western Reserve Academy-Iiyannaa Graham-Siphanoum, Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, Western Reserve Academy

We are continuing an annual sermon series we refer to as our New Year Essentials. These sermons address subjects to which we must repeatedly return for the glory of God and the transformation of our lives. These are different sermons, taking different angles, on issues we need to come back to again-and-again. Today, we do a heart-thrilling flyover of the the Old Testament and ask, “This year, what story will most shape me—the world's story or God's story?” Audio | Notes | Genesis 1 - Malachi 4

A Warm Welcome to Wellness When Marcy Campbell greets newcomers at Downtown Studios Unlimited, she's not just welcoming them to a fitness class—she's inviting them into a family. As co-owner of this Luray-based group exercise studio, Marcy has spent decades transforming the way her community approaches health and wellness. In this episode of The Valley Today, she talks with host Janet Michael and co-host Gina Hilliard, president of the Luray/Page Chamber of Commerce, to share her vision for accessible, enjoyable fitness. From the Eighties to Today: A Fitness Journey Marcy's story begins in the era of leg warmers and Jane Fonda workout videos. Together with her business partner Tammy Landis, she started teaching group exercise classes at what was then known as the Luray Fitness Center back in the 1980s and 1990s. However, their approach has evolved far beyond the aerobics craze of decades past. "We've always enjoyed and loved the idea of having a group exercise venue," Marcy explains, "just because some people aren't as motivated to do it independently as they would be with the help and support of others." Something for Everyone Today, Downtown Studios Unlimited offers an impressive array of classes designed to meet every fitness level and interest. The schedule includes everything from "Fit for Life"—a beginner-friendly class offered twice weekly—to more challenging options like cycling, step aerobics, and Tabata (a high-intensity interval training format). Moreover, the studio caters to those seeking mind-body balance. Gentle morning yoga classes provide stretching and relaxation, while evening sessions deliver more challenging workouts. Additionally, the studio offers bar Pilates, meditation with sound bath therapy, and even karate classes for ages six through adult. "We try to make sure that we offer classes that will fit all levels and all abilities," Marcy emphasizes. Furthermore, she personally helps newcomers find the right fit, ensuring they don't wander into a class that feels too intimidating or too easy. Breaking Down Barriers One of the studio's greatest strengths lies in its welcoming atmosphere. Marcy actively works to eliminate the intimidation factor that keeps many people from trying group fitness. When potential members express concerns about competition or judgment, she quickly sets the record straight. "Nobody really watches anybody but me because they're too worried about what I'm doing," she reassures. "It's very individualized, yet you're with your friends." Indeed, the studio has become a hub for building genuine connections. New residents frequently discover that Downtown Studios offers more than just exercise—it provides a pathway to community integration. As Marcy notes, many members have expressed relief at finally knowing people in their new hometown. Age Is Just a Number The studio's membership spans an remarkable age range. High school athletes come to improve their performance in track or basketball. Meanwhile, members in their eighties continue to maintain their strength and balance. This diversity creates a rich, multigenerational environment where everyone learns from each other. Marcy particularly emphasizes the importance of functional fitness as people age. "There's little things that as we get older, we wanna still be able to do," she points out, referencing everyday activities like reaching high shelves or playing with grandchildren. Consequently, the studio's strength and balance training helps members maintain independence and quality of life. Beyond the Workout Downtown Studios Unlimited also addresses mental and emotional wellness. Rich, the studio's meditation coach, leads sessions featuring sound bath therapy—a deeply relaxing experience that helps participants clear their minds and reset. "By the time you're over, you're kinda like, was that an hour?" Marcy laughs, comparing it to the timeless feeling of a good massage. Additionally, the studio has partnered with Forever Dancing Studio next door, which offers Jujitsu and Zumba. This collaboration allows members to access dual memberships, expanding their fitness options even further. A Higher Calling Throughout the conversation, Marcy's passion for community health shines through. She views her work not as a business venture but as a mission to promote wellbeing throughout Luray. "Any of us in the fitness industry, we're not in it just for ourselves," she reflects. "We're in it to promote health and wellbeing regardless if they come to us or they go somewhere else for it." This philosophy extends to her relationships with other fitness professionals. She regularly receives referrals from local physical therapists who recognize the value of continued exercise in a supportive group setting. Getting Started For those interested in joining this vibrant fitness community, Marcy recommends starting with the studio's Facebook page or website at DowntownStudiosUnlimited.com. There, prospective members can view the full class schedule and sign up for sessions. Marcy personally reviews new registrations and reaches out to help newcomers find their perfect fit. Looking Ahead As the conversation wraps up, Gina announces upcoming Chamber events, including a Women in Business paint and sip session and an annual networking breakfast with local elected officials. She also floated the idea of hosting a Women in Business event at Downtown Studios, allowing participants to sample different classes—an idea that Marcy enthusiastically welcomed. For anyone who made a New Year's resolution to get healthier, try something new, or simply meet more people in their community, Downtown Studios Unlimited offers a low-barrier entry point. As Marcy's newest member discovered, sometimes you fall in love with a place before you've even broken a sweat.

Spring Lake Church – DowntownSermon: The Great Shepherd and The True SheepTeacher: Jeff LedererPassages: John 10:22-42In John 10:22–42, Jesus explains that true sheep recognize His voice, trust His works, and rest in the assurance that they are held securely in the Father's hand. This sermon calls us to examine whether we are seeking Jesus Himself or merely what He can provide—and to live with humble trust in the Shepherd who gives eternal life and will never let His sheep be taken from Him.springlakechurch.org | springlakechurch.org/give | springlakechurch.org/prayer

Zac reflects on his first full year in office — a year that included becoming a father for the second time on inauguration night — and breaks down the major issues shaping South Baltimore and Downtown Baltimore today.   The conversation covers everything from the explosion of smoke shops, to the city's sweeping housing package, to the future of Downtown, to the day‑to‑day realities of representing one of Baltimore's most active districts.   Episode Highlights A wild first month: Zac's son was born the same night he was sworn in, kicking off a year of balancing newborn life with the demands of public office. Learning the job: From 4 a.m. work sessions to building a new staff, Zac shares what the transition into city government really looked like. Why smoke shops exploded: He explains the legal loopholes, synthetic cannabis issues, and market forces behind the surge — and how new zoning rules aim to rein it in. Housing reform at scale: Zac breaks down the city's Housing Options & Opportunities package and what it means for rowhomes, small apartment buildings, parking requirements, and neighborhood character. Parking minimums clarified: He addresses concerns from South Baltimore residents and explains what actually changes (and what doesn't). Downtown's crossroads: A candid look at office vacancies, competing districts, public space challenges, and why Downtown's health matters to every neighborhood. Lexington Market progress: Zac shares details on a new multi‑agency effort he's leading to tackle vacancy and improve conditions around the market. Neighborhood‑level wins: From code enforcement to youth vaping concerns, Zac talks about the hands‑on work his office is doing across District 11. What We Discuss The transition from candidate to councilmember Balancing family life with public service How committee work shapes legislation The process of drafting and negotiating bills The smoke shop zoning package and youth vaping concerns The city's housing package and zoning modernization Parking requirements and development flexibility Downtown Baltimore's challenges and opportunities Vacancy, graffiti, and quality‑of‑life issues How residents can engage with Zac's office Councilman Zac Blanchard — Contact Information Website: https://www.baltimorecitycouncil.com/content/zac-blanchard Phone: 410‑396‑4816 Email: zachary.blanchard@baltimorecity.gov    Office Address: 100 Holliday Street Room 516 Baltimore, Maryland 21202   SouthBMore.com Website: https://www.southbmore.com Podcast inquiries & sponsorships: southbmoremarketing@gmail.com 

Spring Lake Church – DowntownSermon: The Good ShepherdTeacher: Jack GuerraPassages: John 10:1-21In John 10, Jesus reveals Himself as both the Gate and the Good Shepherd—the only way to true life and the one who lovingly lays down His life for the sheep. This sermon invites us to trust Christ alone for salvation, rest in His care, and learn to recognize His voice amid competing voices. True discipleship is marked by knowing, following, and remaining close to the Shepherd who leads us into abundant life.springlakechurch.org | springlakechurch.org/give | springlakechurch.org/prayer

This morning we are returning to an annual sermon series we refer to as our New Year Essentials. These sermons address subjects to which we must repeatedly return for the glory of God and the transformation of lives. These are different sermons, taking different angles, on issues we need to come back to again-and-again. Today, we'll hear from Brooks Buser, the president of Radius International and DCC’s main missions training partner, on missions and the local church. Audio | Notes | Romans 10: 13 - 15

Vancouver politics were busy in 2025 and with an October 2026 municipal election approaching, things won't be quieting down any time soon. Redeye collective member Ian Mass brings us his New Year's City Beat report.

Top Stories for January 10th Publish Date: January 10th PRE-ROLL: Kia Mall of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 10th and Happy Birthday to Rod Stewart I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Affordability a top concern as lawmakers prepare for Georgia legislative session Srim Academy to host series of free seminars for young parents Christkindl Market drove 77% increase in downtown Lawrenceville visitors 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: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: Affordability a top concern as lawmakers prepare for Georgia legislative session When Georgia lawmakers head back to the Capitol next week, it’s all about affordability—or at least that’s the plan. House Speaker Jon Burns isn’t mincing words: “We’re laser-focused on making life affordable,” he said Wednesday, pointing a finger at property taxes for crushing the dream of homeownership. “For too many families, it’s slipping out of reach. We’ve got to fix that.” Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are eyeing income taxes. A committee led by Sen. Blake Tillery wants to nix the 5.19% tax for individuals earning under $50,000 (or $100,000 for couples) and eventually scrap it altogether by 2032. But affordability isn’t just about taxes. Rising medical costs? A mess. The end of federal health insurance subsidies? A looming crisis. Burns says the House will tackle health care, focusing on keeping doctors in Georgia by expanding residency programs. STORY 2: Srim Academy to host series of free seminars for young parents Srim Academy, a Montessori school in Norcross, is kicking off a series of free seminars for young parents—because, let’s face it, parenting is hard. Topics? Everything from potty training and screen time battles to fostering independence and getting kids to actually move their bodies. The first session, “Fostering Your Child’s Independence: Lemonade, Ladybugs and Learning,” happens Saturday, Jan. 31, at 10:30 a.m. at 5511 Williams Road. Expect 90 minutes of practical advice, hands-on activities (think crafts and cooking), and maybe even a few lightbulb moments. Led by Srim’s seasoned faculty and guests from Gwinnett Building Babies’ Brains, it’s all about building confidence—for kids and parents. Bonus: giveaways! Details? Visit www.srimacademy.com or call 678-808-9813. STORY 3: Christkindl Market drove 77% increase in downtown Lawrenceville visitors Lawrenceville’s first year hosting the Atlanta Christkindl Market? A total game-changer. Nearly 371,000 people visited the market during its debut season downtown—more than double the attendance from its Buckhead days, even with fewer open days. And here’s the kicker: 159,500 of those visitors wandered over to the Lawrenceville Square, boosting local restaurants and shops by 77% compared to 2024. Free parking, shuttles, and a glowing Winterlight Walk helped draw crowds, with visitors from 48 states. Downtown businesses saw sales jump 5–30%, and vendors reported 20–30% higher sales than the previous year. The collaboration between the city and Gwinnett County was key, with County Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson adding, “This event showed what’s possible when partnerships thrive.” Lawrenceville’s officially on the holiday map. 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: Ingles Markets STORY 4: 2026 Beer Chaser 5K Registration is open Whether you’re a speed demon or a beer-loving stroller, the Beer Chaser 5K is calling your name. On March 7, Suwanee Town Center Park transforms into a St. Paddy’s Day celebration with a twist—running, sipping, and plenty of green. This isn’t your average 5K. Sure, it’s a Peachtree Road Race qualifier, but it’s also a beer lover’s dream. Choose your adventure: run straight through or stop at five beer stations along the scenic Suwanee Creek Greenway. Each station features a different Georgia brewery, so your taste buds get a workout too. Not into mid-run sips? No worries. Every runner (21+) gets a full beer at the finish line. And the party doesn’t stop there—StillFire Brewing is hosting an after-party with live music, food trucks, and 25 beers on tap. Registration starts at $55 for the straight-through option or $65 if you want those beer stops. Prices go up Feb. 1, so don’t wait. Oh, and don’t forget your festive St. Paddy’s Day gear—there are prizes for best costume, best group, and best kilt. Proceeds benefit Kiwanis Charity, supporting local causes like the North Gwinnett Co-Op and Children’s Healthcare. Details? Head to SuwaneeBeerFest.com/beer-chaser-5k/. STORY 5: Lanier Islands Resort looks back at 2025, forward to an exciting 2026 Lanier Islands Resort just wrapped up a big year—its 50th anniversary—and it’s clear they’re not slowing down anytime soon. Recognized as one of Georgia’s Best Vacation Destinations, the resort is leaning into its legacy while planning some exciting upgrades for 2026. Last year was packed: a new chapel and garden for weddings, a free summer concert series, the return of Magical Nights of Lights, and even a lantern festival that drew 4,500 people. Oh, and they snagged awards from The Knot, WeddingWire, and GolfPass, among others. Looking ahead? A $3 million refresh for Legacy Lodge, a revamped golf clubhouse, and Georgia’s first lighted Par-3 course. Plus, new events like a Fall Songwriter Series. Big things are coming. We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: Rep. Andrew Clyde announces 2026 Congressional Art Competition Hey, high school artists in Georgia’s Ninth District—Congressman Andrew Clyde wants *you* to show off your talent in the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. Got a creative spark? Here’s your chance to have your work displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a whole year. Submissions are due Feb. 20, and the process is simple: send a digital image of your piece first, and if you’re a finalist, drop off the physical artwork by March 13. The theme? Anything that reflects North Georgia—think landmarks, industries, or even your school. Accepted mediums include paintings, drawings, mixed media, photography, and more. Just keep it two-dimensional, under 26x26 inches framed, and under 15 pounds. Oh, and no copying or controversial content—this is about originality. Questions? Call Clyde’s Gainesville office at 470-768-6520. Let’s see what you’ve got! STORY 7: Gwinnett Chamber introduces Elevate Business series The Gwinnett Chamber is shaking things up with the launch of the Elevate Business Series (EBS)—a fresh, expanded take on their long-running Small Business Series. Starting in 2026, this revamped program is all about helping small and medium-sized businesses level up with sharper insights, practical strategies, and tools to thrive. Why the change? Simple: demand. Attendance has been climbing, industries are diversifying, and businesses are hungry for deeper, more advanced content. “Elevate reflects how far we’ve come—and where we’re going,” said Megan Lesko, the Chamber’s Senior VP of Membership. The first event? Feb. 24, featuring Media Frenzy CEO Sarah Tourville on strategic communications.

The first week of the new year brought a lot of changes for Pittsburgh. Corey O'Connor was sworn in as mayor, the Block family announced that it's shutting down City Paper and the Post-Gazette, and the Steelers made it to the playoffs thanks to a divine intervention. Host Megan Harris is joined by City Paper's former news editor, Colin Williams, and Axios Pittsburgh's Ryan Deto to talk about O'Connor's first week in office, what the loss of two local papers means for the city, and whether the Steelers could win a playoff game for the first time in nearly a decade. They also discuss Pittsburgh's connection to the hit show "Heated Rivalry" and another Bucco Brick fiasco. Then, producer Sophia Lo joins Colin and Megan to run through a few things to look forward to (or dread) as we go through 2026.

In an interview with the Dallas Morning News, Dallas police Chief Daniel Comeaux said that Gov. Greg Abbott was off base in blaming AT&T's planned move from downtown on city leaders' public safety decisions, saying instead that conditions were improving from stepped-up patrols and renewed focus on the area. In other news, more than 400 people gathered outside Dallas City Hall Thursday night to march and protest the killing of a Minneapolis woman shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer; a man has died after being mauled by a dog in West Dallas Wednesday — a case investigators have now classified as a homicide; nd a new cocktail bar and restaurant named ‘Ritual' is expected to open later this month in Old East Dallas. The space will continue to be “female-forward” in design, as Alice was. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  The Depleted Patrols in Dallas on November 22, 1963 John Washburn article at Kennedysandking.com Read Here The call that was mistranscribed as "Attention all squads, report to downtown area, Code 3 to Elm and Houston, with caution." But the tape is 25:45 "All squads in the Downtown area, Code 3 to Elm and Houston with caution". The word "in the" has been replaced with "Report to".This is Tippit's last call It had a 12:54pm time stamp immediately before it. 37:28 "78" "78" "you are in the Oak Cliff area are you not? "Lansin' and 8th " you'll be at large for any emergency that comes in" "10-4" It was transcribed as Lancaster and 8th.

And the fact Angell had been in same place - also out of his district. 28:59 "I'm at Keist and er Bonnie" (12:45pm) This is not Tippit's voice. That is not the same voice as Tippit who said Lansin’ 8th. And no officer says - I'm - its superfluous and breaks protocol of minimum speech.

Top Stories for January 6th Publish Date: January 6th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, January 6th and Happy Birthday to Malcolm Young I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Lawrenceville's new downtown hotel rising ahead of schedule Lawrenceville resident kicks off new year by winning $1 million in the Georgia Lottery The Latest: US strikes Venezuela, captures Maduro and his wife 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: Kia Mall of Georgia - Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink STORY 1: Lawrenceville's new downtown hotel rising ahead of schedule Lawrenceville’s dream of a downtown hotel has been a slow burn—years of planning, delays, and setbacks. But now? It’s finally happening, and faster than anyone expected. The Lawrence Hilton Tapestry, a boutique hotel nestled between the Lawrenceville Lawn and Arts Center, is set to open mid-2026. Or maybe even earlier. “We’re ahead of schedule and under budget,” said City Manager Chuck Warbington. Brickwork is already going up, and the weather’s been a surprising ally—minimal rain, no freezing temps. The hotel will feature 120 rooms, meeting spaces, a chef-driven restaurant (Bellfire), and a bar (Old Nick’s). Plus, 200 new parking spots in the city-owned deck below. This project’s been a decade in the making, delayed by COVID and financing hurdles. But now, Lawrenceville’s vision of a walkable, thriving downtown is finally within reach. STORY 2: Lawrenceville resident kicks off new year by winning $1 million in the Georgia Lottery Three Georgians are starting 2026 a whole lot richer—millionaires, in fact. Among them? A lucky winner from Lawrenceville, along with two others from College Park and Grovetown. Their $1 million prizes came from the Georgia Lottery’s second-chance Georgia Millionaire drawing, announced right as the clock struck midnight on New Year’s. Talk about a way to ring in the new year. The Georgia Millionaire scratcher offers $10,000 instant prizes and a shot at the big one through second-chance entries. STORY 3: The Latest: US strikes Venezuela, captures Maduro and his wife The United States launched a military operation early Saturday, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, in a move that’s already shaking the world. By morning, he was aboard a U.S. warship, blindfolded and bound for New York to face drug trafficking charges. President Trump, speaking on Fox News, called the operation “genius” and confirmed the U.S. would oversee Venezuela’s next steps. “We’ll be involved very much,” he said. The fallout was immediate. Venezuela’s U.N. ambassador condemned the strike as a “colonial war,” while China and Russia slammed the U.S. for violating international law. Meanwhile, in South Florida, Venezuelan exiles celebrated, waving flags and chanting “Liberty!” Maduro’s capture marks a dramatic escalation in U.S.-Venezuela tensions. Trump dismissed criticism over bypassing Congress, calling his opponents “weak” and insisting the operation was necessary. “The tyrant is gone,” said Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: ART BEAT: Beat those January blues with exciting Gwinnett arts events Feeling the post-holiday slump? The decorations are packed away, the parties are over, and—ugh—football season’s almost done. So now what? Here’s an idea: throw on that big coat, brave the chill, and dive into Gwinnett’s arts scene. Plays, concerts, art classes—there’s plenty to shake off the winter blahs. On Jan. 11, the Gwinnett Symphony Orchestra and Youth Orchestra team up for a concert at Discovery Theatre in Lawrenceville. Mozart, Strauss, and even Anderson’s quirky “The Typewriter” are on the program. Tickets? Head to www.tix.com. Prefer visual art? The Hudgens Center in Duluth has three exhibits running through January, including “Sketching with Buck,” a stunning collection of hand-drawn architectural sketches from around the world. Or maybe you’re itching to create? The Suwanee Arts Center offers classes like “Watercolor Landscapes” (Jan. 7 and 14) and “Drawing Basics” starting Jan. 17. Winter doesn’t stand a chance. STORY 5: Meet the first babies born in 2026 at hospitals in Gwinnett New Year’s Eve is exciting enough—countdowns, confetti, champagne. But imagine if Jan. 1 was also your birthday. That’s exactly the case for a few lucky babies born in Gwinnett hospitals as the calendar flipped to 2026. At 12:44 a.m., Julian Alessandro Sanchez made his debut at Northside Hospital Gwinnett in Lawrenceville, becoming their first baby of the year. Over at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Braselton, Brittany and Ryan Hopper of Hoschton welcomed twin boys—Koen Anthony at 4:58 a.m. and Kaden Michael at 5:14 a.m. The Hopper family even received a gift basket from the hospital’s Auxiliary and Safe Kids program. We’ll be right back. Break 3: EAGLE THEATRE Gentleman’s Guide STORY 6: Gwinnett police offering free women's basic self-defense course The Gwinnett County Police Department is hosting a self-defense program for women 16 and up, and honestly, it’s something every woman should consider. The Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) course isn’t just about learning moves—it’s about building confidence, awareness, and practical skills to stay safe. Over four sessions (Jan. 20, 22, 27, and 29, from 6–9 p.m.), participants will dive into risk awareness, avoidance strategies, and hands-on defense techniques. It wraps up with a live simulation—because practice makes perfect, right? Held at the Gwinnett Police Training Center in Lawrenceville, spots fill fast. Don’t wait. Call 678.442.6520 or visit GwinnettCounty.com/RAD to register. STORY 7: Norcross Grad Mason Kaplan Earns NCAA Elite Scholar-Athlete Award Norcross alum Mason Kaplan just added another impressive accolade to his already stacked resume. On Saturday, the Illinois State linebacker snagged the NCAA FCS Football Elite Scholar-Athlete Award—one of the most prestigious academic honors in college football. Here’s the deal: this award isn’t just about being good on the field. It’s for the student-athlete with the highest GPA at the finals site of an NCAA championship. And Kaplan? He’s rocking a 4.0 in grad school, studying the psychology of sport and physical activity. Oh, and he’s also president of ISU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. What’s wild? Kaplan started his college career as a quarterback, playing two seasons at Valparaiso and one at Illinois State before an injury sidelined him in 2024. This year, though, he’s made a seamless (and dominant) transition to linebacker, helping lead the Redbirds to Monday’s FCS National Championship in Nashville.

In this engaging conversation, Tommy V and Justo host Matt and Tino from Lower Definition, discussing their long-awaited return to music after years of hiatus. The band reflects on their reunion, the inspiration behind their comeback, and the challenges of writing new music during the pandemic. They delve into their influences, the evolution of their sound, and the importance of fan engagement as they prepare to release their new album, 'The Purpose of the Moon.' Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey, Tom, and Justin talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 20 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are diehard New York Islanders fans, but Justin (Bolts fan) likes to remind us that we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are!NEW EPISODE EVERY TUESDAY!

Today we continue a series, Songs for Life, looking through the Psalms to see how this book offers ancient, inspired prayers for orienting us to God in the day to day. Psalm 95 invites our hearts to worship the LORD and teaches us what worship is and why he is worthy of it. It also warns us not to harden our hearts in worship and shows the consequences if we do.
