Father of alleged Apalachee High School shooter arrested Apalachee High School Staff Used Crisis Badge System Also Used in Gwinnett Schools Paw Patrol, Pentatonix Coming to Gas South Arena 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   STORY 1: Father of alleged Apalachee High School shooter arrested Colin Gray, the father of Colt Gray, the 14-year-old accused of a deadly school shooting at Apalachee High School, faces multiple charges including involuntary manslaughter and cruelty to children for allegedly allowing his son to possess a weapon. Colt Gray is charged with felony murder for the shooting that killed four people, including two students and two teachers, and injured nine others. The shooting has deeply affected the Winder community, leading to vigils and calls for support. Investigations are ongoing, with federal and state officials involved. The tragedy has prompted a broader conversation about gun violence and school safety. STORY 2:  Apalachee High School Staff Used Crisis Badge System Also Used in Gwinnett Schools The Centegix CrisisAlert badge system, recently implemented in Barrow County Schools, was put to the test during the deadly shooting at Apalachee High School. The system, which Gwinnett County Public Schools began using last year, allows staff to alert administrators and law enforcement to emergencies by pressing a button on their badges. In Barrow County, the system helped quickly trigger a lockdown and alert responders, potentially limiting the tragedy. The shooting, which resulted in four deaths and nine injuries, highlighted the system's effectiveness in enhancing school safety and response. STORY 3:  Paw Patrol, Pentatonix Coming To Gas South Arena The PAW Patrol is returning with a new live stage show, “PAW Patrol Live! A Mighty Adventure,” at Gas South Arena in Duluth on November 16 and 17. Tickets, starting at $25, go on sale September 13 at www.pawpatrollive.com.

Key stressors include lacking certain skills (43%) and difficulty staying updated on job requirements (75%). While 69% see their role as a long-term career opportunity and 70% would stay with their employer if offered a permanent position, many struggle with information overload. Effective training resources—whether in-person, online, or paper—are crucial for reducing mistakes and enhancing job satisfaction. STORY 5:  Boy shot in the head raising money for hospital that saved his life Harry Studley, who survived a near-fatal head injury from a pellet gun at 18 months old, is set to walk a 5K to raise funds for the hospital that saved him. Now nine, Harry faces ongoing challenges including epilepsy, partial blindness, and cognitive issues. He and his father, Ed, will participate in the Grand Walk for the Grand Appeal on September 15, aiming to support Bristol Royal Hospital for Children's Bluebell Ward, where Harry received critical care.

A grandson of the homeowners is accused of starting the fire, allegedly seen fleeing with gas cans by a neighbor who detained him until police arrived.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for June 28th Publish Date:  June 28th            From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, June 28th and Happy 49th Birthday to actor Toby Maguire. ***06.28.24 – BIRTHDAY – TOBEY MACGUIRE*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett police: People in moving van were not trafficking victims Ousted Gwinnett School Board Member Criticizes Runoff System Biden, Trump swap barbs in no-holds barred debate 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   STORY 1: Gwinnett police: People in moving van were not trafficking victims A viral video on social media this week showed people inside a Budget Rental moving van, sparking concerns of human trafficking as the original poster claimed they were tied up. The incident occurred on Interstate 85 north from midtown Atlanta until Gwinnett police intervened. However, Gwinnett County Police Sergeant Collin Flynn clarified that the individuals were not trafficking victims but were two families relocating with their belongings. They were healthy and not in distress, heading from Alabama to Maryland for new job opportunities. Despite no evidence of trafficking, police cited the driver for Georgia's seat belt law violation as the occupants were riding in the van without seat belts. The group was safely dropped off to find an alternate means to continue their journey to Maryland. STORY 2: Ousted Gwinnett School Board Member Criticizes Runoff System Karen Watkins, Vice Chairman of the Gwinnett County school board, has decided not to seek a recount after narrowly losing to Rachel Stone in last week's runoff election. Stone won by 17 votes, securing less than a 0.5% margin over Watkins. Although Watkins could have requested a recount under state law, she opted not to, criticizing Georgia's runoff election system instead. Watkins highlighted concerns that requiring candidates to surpass 50% of the vote in a runoff can suppress voter turnout and dilute the impact of voters. In the primary election, Watkins led with 41.8% of the vote, leading to the runoff with Stone who garnered 30.6%. The runoff saw significantly lower turnout compared to the primary, with only 3,719 votes cast. Watkins' campaign labeled the runoff system as voter suppression, emphasizing its costliness and potential to diminish voter participation. STORY 3: Biden, Trump swap barbs in no-holds barred debate In Atlanta, a 90-minute presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, moderated by CNN with no live audience, aimed for civility with microphones turned off when not speaking. Despite this, both candidates traded accusations, blaming each other for inflation and trading personal attacks. Trump faced legal challenges, including indictments in Georgia and a recent New York conviction. He attributed these to Biden targeting him politically. Biden criticized Trump's inaction during the Capitol riot and highlighted Trump's legal troubles and personal scandals. Both called for the other's imprisonment, Trump for legal issues and Biden for immigration policies.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We'll be right back.   Break 2: TOM WAGES   STORY 4: Lawrenceville names new dog park for former Police K-9 Lawrenceville has dedicated HYRO Park in memory of K9 Officer Hyro, who served the police department from 2016 until his passing in July 2023. The 0.41-acre urban dog park, set to open on August 9, honors Hyro's service in law enforcement, where he contributed to 233 missions, resulting in 87 arrests and the seizure of significant quantities of drugs. The park, under construction next to Lawrenceville Lawn, aims to unite the community through dog-friendly activities. City officials, including Hyro's handler Officer Sean O'Brien, unveiled a plaque during the dedication ceremony, emphasizing Hyro's legacy of "Love Loyalty Obedience."

It's time for another AEW Dynamite review by Warren Hayes, this time covering the March 6, 2024, episode from the Gas South Arena in Duluth, GA. I'm Conflicted Ultimately, this episode encapsulated the current state of AEW. On one hand, they still understand what makes AEW tick. On the other, the veer dangerously close to replicating creative from... the other guys. Help. Okada Is All Elite (and how) The biggest splash of the night was Kazuchika Okada's surprise debut.

Break 1: TOM WAGES   STORY 1: For Gwinnett residents, Construction Crews Mean More Healthcare Options On Horizon. Here's An Update Hospitals in Gwinnett County are expanding their services with new facilities, including Northside Hospital's 100,000-square-foot medical office building in Buford, set to open this summer. Additionally, construction on a 15-story tower at Northside Gwinnett in Lawrenceville is underway, expected to add over 300 patient beds and make it the largest campus in the hospital system by 2025. Another Northside medical office building is planned on Sugarloaf Parkway. Northeast Georgia Health System is also expanding its Braselton hospital campus with a $565 million project, adding 150 licensed acute care beds and doubling the number of treatment rooms in the Emergency Department. The expansion is scheduled to open in phases, with the first phase expected in summer 2025 and the second phase in 2026. STORY 2: Northeast Gwinnett Residents Face Big Decision On Area's Future In Cityhood Vote. An Update The proposed cityhood of Mulberry in Gwinnett County is headed to a referendum vote after Governor Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 333 into law. If approved, Mulberry would become Gwinnett County's 17th city, encompassing approximately 41,000 residents and becoming the county's largest city by geographic size and the second-largest by population. Proponents, including House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration, highlight the opportunity for local control over planning and zoning decisions without imposing a city property tax. However, opponents express concerns about potential financial implications for Gwinnett County, with projections indicating an annual loss of $9.1 million in revenue. The referendum will appear on ballots in May, marking a significant decision for Gwinnett County residents. STORY 3: PROGRESS: Other Big Projects To Look Forward To In 2024 Several significant projects are underway in Gwinnett County, shaping its future in 2024: - The Westin Atlanta Gwinnett hotel at the Gas South District, with 360 rooms, will open soon, offering amenities such as a Starbucks, restaurant, and rooftop bar. It's been in development for over a decade and will cater to visitors attending events at the Gas South Arena and Convention Center. - Construction of the south plaza at The Forum Peachtree Corners has commenced, aiming for completion by the 2024 holiday shopping season. Additionally, work on a boutique hotel and multifamily housing is scheduled to start next year. - Suwanee anticipates completing the Town Center on Main and DeLay Nature Park project this summer, featuring amenities like an elevated bridge, playground, veterans monument, and outdoor event space. - The Georgia Department of Transportation plans to convert the Hi Hope Road at State Route 316 intersection into an interchange, with bid letting expected this summer, marking progress in converting 316 into a limited-access highway from Gwinnett County to Athens.   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 6   STORY 4: Berkmar High Students Make Film About ASL Teacher Troy Bowman Through Roku Change Maker Program Gwinnett County is becoming a hub for film and television production, fostering young filmmakers through collaborations with Explore Gwinnett, Gwinnett County Public Schools, and Fresh Films. Students from Berkmar High School recently produced a short film about veteran ASL teacher Troy Bowman as part of the Roku Change Makers program. Fresh Films conducts weekly production classes at three Gwinnett schools and works on various projects throughout the school year, including documentaries and short films. The collaboration provides students with creative outlets and opportunities to showcase their talents while highlighting community changemakers. This initiative has received support from local organizations and grants, indicating its growth and potential for long-term sustainability. STORY 5: CareSource donates $1 million to help youths aging out of foster care CareSource, a nonprofit health-care organization, is donating $1 million to support young people aging out of Georgia's foster care system. This contribution aligns with the Fostering Success Act, which offers tax credits to fund wraparound services for youths leaving foster care. These services include education support, food, medical care, rental assistance, and transportation funds. The Act aims to address challenges faced by foster youth, such as homelessness and reliance on welfare programs. CareSource's donation follows a trend of corporate support for critical social programs, reflecting a commitment to improving community well-being.   STORY 6: Georgia Power hikes prompt legislation to restore consumer advocate for PSC electricity rate cases Georgia Power customers will face higher electricity rates due to nuclear expansion and fuel costs, prompting legislative action to shift utility regulator responsibilities. Senate Bill 457 aims to create a consumer's utility counsel to advocate for the public in rate cases, responding to recent rate increases approved by the Public Service Commission (PSC). The bill seeks to ensure robust information is considered, although the PSC argues that existing advocacy staff already represents consumer interests effectively. Additionally, House Bill 1220 proposes giving the PSC oversight of private water companies with more than 1,000 customers, following complaints of exorbitant bills. These legislative efforts aim to address concerns of ratepayers and improve utility regulation in Georgia. STORY 7: Savannah sculptor Jerome Meadows tells Black history via public art Jerome Meadows, a renowned artist whose career was shaped by his childhood dreams of Michelangelo, has become a prominent figure in Savannah's art scene. Raised in the Bronx, Meadows found solace in art, aiming to break free from his circumstances like Michelangelo's sculptures. His journey led him to Savannah, where he established MeadowLark Studio and contributed significantly to the city's public art landscape. Meadows' work, which addresses themes of African American heritage and racial injustice, has garnered national recognition, including his recent memorial in Chattanooga commemorating a lynching victim. Through his art, Meadows aims to inspire social change and create impactful narratives.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: HENRY CO SHERIFFS OFFICE   Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Feb 23rd Publish Date:  Feb 22nd   From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, February 23rd and Happy 81st Birthday to NFL HOF Fred Biletnikoff. ***02.23.24 – BIRTHDAY – FRED BILETNIKOFF*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by Tom Wages Funeral Home: Gwinnett Police Investigating Apparent Murder-Suicide; Toddler Found Safe Jackson EMC Foundation Grants $60K to Gwinnett County Service Agencies Georgia Gwinnett College Set to Host Preview Days 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: TOM WAGES   STORY 1: Gwinnett Police Investigating Apparent Murder-Suicide; Toddler Safe A tragic incident unfolded in Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County, where police are investigating a possible case of murder-suicide. The bodies of a husband and wife were discovered inside a home on Sterling Drive on Wednesday. Also found unharmed at the residence was a toddler, whose safety amidst the tragedy provides a glimmer of hope. The police responded to a welfare check at the property just after 11:30 a.m., prompted by a family member's concern when they could not reach the individuals inside the home. Upon arrival, officers found at least one person on the floor and called for immediate medical assistance. Unfortunately, both individuals were confirmed deceased. The investigation currently points towards a domestic-related incident, and the authorities are treating this as a potential murder-suicide. The Medical Examiner's Office will make the final determination on the cause and manner of death. STORY 2: Jackson EMC Foundation Grants $60K to Gwinnett County Service Agencies The Jackson EMC Foundation continues its community support by granting a total of $100,000 to several organizations.

STORY 5: Five Exciting Events to Enjoy in Gwinnett County This Weekend If you're in the Gwinnett County area and looking for fun activities this weekend, here are five events you shouldn't miss. Jurassic World Live Tour Experience the thrill of Jurassic World in an action-packed, live arena show at the Gas South Arena, 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth. Witness the terrifying, unexpected turn of events when Indominus rex escapes and wreaks havoc in the park.

The Spirit of Rush Georgia's premier Rush tribute band, The Spirit of Rush, will take the stage at Eddie Owen Presents @ Red Clay Music Foundry, 3116 Main St., Duluth, on Saturday at 7 p.m. Expect a night of soaring musicianship and unwavering dedication as they bring the music of Rush to life.

Suwanee Winter Farmers Market Visit the Suwanee Winter Farmers Market at Suwanee Town Center Park, 330 Town Center Ave., Suwanee, on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Enjoy fresh local winter produce including lettuces, greens, potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, baked goods, and a variety of other local flavors. Comedian Ian Lara at Atlanta Comedy Theater Catch up-and-coming New York City comic Ian Lara at the Atlanta Comedy Theater, 4650 Jimmy Carter Blvd., Norcross, this Thursday and Friday. Lara made his late-night debut on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and has garnered over 10 million views for his set on “Comedy Central Stand up Featuring”. STORY 6: Long COVID Linked to Inflammatory Protein, Study Finds Cambridge University researchers have found a potential link between Long COVID and high levels of the inflammatory protein interferon gamma. The groundbreaking study suggests that IFN-γ could serve as a biomarker for Long COVID fatigue, paving the way for improved diagnosis and treatment. The comprehensive study followed Long COVID patients for over two years. It discovered a persistent production of IFN-γ correlating with ongoing symptoms. This research is significant given the skepticism surrounding Long COVID, despite an estimated 1.9 million people in the UK suffering from it. The research identifies specific immune cells that produce IFN-γ and observes a decrease in symptoms as IFN-γ levels drop. While vaccinations may help clear the virus, effective therapies remain a necessity. The study also suggests that IFN-γ could help classify Long COVID subtypes, leading to more personalized treatments. Gaining a deeper understanding of Long COVID could equip us with vital knowledge for future pandemics. STORY 7: New Study: 4 in 10 Americans Know Someone Who Died of Drug Overdose A staggering four out of ten Americans know someone who has died from a drug overdose. This alarming statistic comes from a recent study by non-profit organization RAND.   The research found that 42.4% of participants knew at least one person who had overdosed, translating to an estimated 125 million American adults. Furthermore, one in three respondents stated that their lives were disrupted by the death.   "The experiences and needs of millions of survivors of an overdose loss largely have been overlooked," said Dr. Alison Athey, a behavioral scientist at RAND.   The study also revealed that exposure to overdose deaths was more common among women, married individuals, U.S.-born participants, and urban dwellers. Disturbingly, 13% of respondents reported significant life disruption due to an overdose death.   In 2022, over 109,000 people died from a drug overdose, bringing the total since 2000 to more than 1.1 million.   We'll have final thoughts after this.

The Gwinnett County Fire Department responded to the incident, finding smoke and fire on the first floor extending into the second floor and attic space. The occupant reported smoke from the HVAC unit, leading to the evacuation of approximately 10 occupants. No injuries were reported, but 14 adults and six children were displaced due to fire and smoke damage. Temporary assistance will be provided by the American Red Cross. The cause of the fire is under investigation. STORY 2: Lawrenceville Police Launch Citizens Patrol Program Lawrenceville has introduced a Citizens and Police Partners Unit (LCAPPS), allowing residents to volunteer with the police department. The unit, consisting of eight founding members, has undergone advanced training and will assist with tasks such as traffic control, accident scenes, public events, and residential checks. Members are required to complete a nine-week course covering areas like traffic control, crime analysis, first aid, de-escalation techniques, accident investigations, and driving. LCAPPS patrols in specially marked vehicles will enhance police presence, improve community safety, and free up sworn officers for critical tasks, contributing to Lawrenceville's overall safety.

Initially focusing on areas like Peachtree Corners, Norcross, Duluth, and Berkeley Lake, the organization addresses overcrowding in local animal shelters that leads to increased euthanasia rates. The non-profit provides temporary foster homes for pets during non-emergency crises, such as eviction or illness. Offering up to ninety days of pet care, including veterinary services, the goal is to reunite pets with their owners. Stay Together Furever is actively seeking fosters, monetary donations, and gently used pet supplies. STORY 5: Brenau University Offering New Risk Management Degree Brenau College's College of Business and Communication in Gainesville, Georgia, has introduced a new undergraduate major for the Spring 2024 semester – risk management and insurance. This makes Brenau one of the few schools in Georgia, alongside institutions like the University of Georgia, Mercer University, and Georgia State University, to offer this major. Funded by a $50,000 course development grant from the Spencer Educational Foundation, the program aims to support students' professional development, offering resources for attending risk professionals' annual meetings and establishing a Brenau chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma, an international professional fraternity in risk management and insurance.   We'll be back in a moment.   Break 3: DTL – ESOG   STORY 6: Cirque du Soleil's 'Corteo' Coming To Gwinnett's Gas South Arena Cirque du Soleil's "Corteo" is set to be presented at Gas South Arena in Duluth for six shows in mid-August. The production, described as the most enchanting arena production, premiered in 2005 and has been seen by over 10 million patrons in 20 countries. "Corteo" explores the world of fun and comedy in the context of a clown imagining his own funeral, blending the ridiculous with the tragic. In a first for Cirque du Soleil, the stage will be centrally located in the arena, allowing each half of the audience to face the other, offering a unique perspective for both the show and performers.   STORY 7: Georgia Has the 8th Newest Homes in the U.S. The U.S. real estate market poses challenges for buyers due to rising home prices, high mortgage rates, and a shortage of new housing supply. A study estimates a deficit of 2.3 to 6.5 million housing units in the U.S. Construction slowdown during the Great Recession contributes to the shortage. Buyers often compete for older homes, with the median age increasing by over 10 years in the last two decades. Older homes are more affordable but require higher maintenance costs. Geographic variations exist, with Sun Belt states having newer homes, while Northeast and Midwest states have older housing stocks. In Georgia, the median home age is 30 years, built primarily in 1992.   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.

Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Gwinnett's Gas South Arena Earns National Recognition Gas South Arena, marking its 20th anniversary, received national recognition by ranking No. 23 among venues with a 10,001 to 15,000 capacity. In 2023, the arena had its highest-grossing year, with nearly 700,000 attendees at 117 public events. Highlights included hosting the SEC gymnastics championships, two sold-out Zach Bryan shows, the first e-gaming event "Blast Rainbow," and celebrating 20 years as the home of the Atlanta Gladiators. The arena is set to host the Atlanta Vibe professional volleyball team, continue with the Atlanta Gladiators, and feature events like Bulls, Bands and Barrels and the Jurassic World Live Tour in 2024. STORY 2: Georgia teachers would get $2,500 raise under Gov. Brian Kemp's proposed FY2025 budget Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has proposed a 4% cost of living adjustment for state employees and a $2,500 salary increase for K-12 teachers and certified employees in the 2024-2025 school year. The governor aims to attract and retain employees in vital roles through this pay increase. Kemp's budget proposal also includes updating the pupil transportation funding formula, allocating nearly $205 million for this purpose. Additionally, he has earmarked $104 million to establish an annual school security grant program to address security needs in schools. The Professional Association of Georgia Educators praised the salary increase and transportation funding but expressed opposition to school voucher proposals.     STORY 3: Gwinnett Commissioners On the Road to Transit Referendum. Here's What We Know Gwinnett County commissioners are taking steps toward a referendum on the county's transit system in November. A vote is planned for May to officially call for the referendum on the November ballot. If approved, the referendum would ask voters whether a 1% special sales tax should fund transit expansion, replacing property taxes with sales tax revenues. The new transit plan focuses on buses, microtransit, and bus rapid transit, excluding rail expansion. The plan includes an "Airport Ride" bus service to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The vote follows two previous rejections of transit expansion referendums in the last five years.

Hendrickson will serve as the board's treasurer and chairwoman of the Budget and Audit Review Subcommittee. Mason has been appointed as a co-chairman of the Advisory Committee on Aging. The ARC board, representing 11 counties, focuses on regional issues and priorities. Under the leadership of Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, the ARC aims to address federal infrastructure efforts, enhance emergency preparedness funding, and tackle ambulance response time disparities in the metro area, with a focus on the south metro region. STORY 5: Kemp endorses school vouchers push Georgia Governor Brian Kemp urged lawmakers to pass a private school vouchers bill during his State of the State address. The bill aims to provide $6,000 scholarships for students in low-performing schools to attend private schools. The Senate passed a similar bill last year, but it faced opposition in the House. Critics argue that vouchers divert tax dollars from public schools, with concerns raised by Democrats and rural Republicans. Governor Kemp emphasized the need for an inclusive approach to education, acknowledging public, private, homeschooling, charter, and other alternatives. The push for private school vouchers aligns with Kemp's broader education and spending proposals. We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  DTL – ESOG   STORY 6: How many months out of the year do Americans feel their best? A survey of 2,000 U.S. adults revealed that Americans have lost 26 hours with loved ones, missed eight social events, and canceled nine dates due to not feeling their best over the past year. The average American feels their best only about 15 days each month. The top three reasons for feeling unwell are lack of sleep (43%), stress (43%), and illness (22%). Employed respondents estimate missing four days of work and spending four full days in bed due to sickness in the past year. Concerns about missing experiences with loved ones outweigh worries about work for 46% of respondents. STORY 7: Autistic dad and daughter trek over 1,000 miles for charity A father-daughter duo, both with autism, have embarked on a year-long journey to complete Scotland's Great Trails, covering over 1,000 miles and raising £4,000 for Scottish Autism. Ian Alderman, 43, and his nine-year-old daughter, Eve, had previously completed a walk from Land's End to John O'Groats in 2022, raising £20,000. Their current challenge aims to challenge stereotypes about autism and fundraise for Autism Scotland. The family has documented their progress online under “Our Spectrum Adventures,” sharing tips and updates. The duo hopes to complete the remaining 800 miles by March 2024 and reach their target of £10,000.

The system aims to reduce traffic congestion and emissions by cutting down on the number of cars traveling to and from local stores.

The designated area includes the former Olympic tennis center site, the Amazon Fulfillment Center, and Netherworld Haunted House. The decision follows approval of a proposal from Fuqua Development to redevelop the former tennis site with a Costco, restaurants, and apartments. The master plan aims to revitalize the area, preserving its multicultural identity while encouraging diverse housing options and multimodal transportation improvements. Proceeds from the former tennis center's redevelopment will fund the Park Place master plan. STORY 5: Two plead guilty, one sentenced in separate fentanyl cases Two co-defendants, James Hill and Jasmine Jackson, pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges related to the distribution of large amounts of fentanyl in Athens and Milledgeville. Hill faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years up to life in prison, while Jackson faces a maximum of 20 years. The charges resulted from investigations revealing Hill's distribution of fentanyl and heroin in Athens. In a separate case, Brandon Ector, also known as "Big," was sentenced to 150 months in prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine in Milledgeville. The investigations prevented nearly four kilograms of fentanyl from circulating in the communities. Sentencing is scheduled for March 21. We'll be back in a moment Break 3:  GCPS – ESOG – DTL STORY 6: State Bar presents dispute resolution award to Terrence Croft Terrence Lee Croft was awarded the 2023 Chief Justice Harold G. Clarke Award by the Supreme Court of Georgia Commission on Dispute Resolution and the Dispute Resolution Section of the State Bar of Georgia.

He has successfully resolved over 3,500 disputes in various areas. The award honors Chief Justice Harold G. Clarke's efforts in creating alternative dispute resolution processes during his tenure from 1990-1994. Croft was praised for being a trailblazer in ADR for nearly four decades. STORY 7: Lawrenceville adopts 2045 Comprehensive Plan update and Transportation Master Plan The Lawrenceville City Council adopted the city's 2045 Comprehensive Plan Update and Transportation Master Plan at a public hearing on Dec. 13. This plan is a revision of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2018, outlining the city's long-term, sustainable growth pattern framework. Developed through public engagement and steering committee involvement, the plan addresses demographics, land use, transportation, economic development, housing, broadband access, and quality of life. The comprehensive plan, subject to review by the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, aims to guide Lawrenceville's strategic growth and development through 2045.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Nov 17th Publish Date:  Nov 16th   HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, November 17th and Happy Birthday to Tom Seaver   I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Kia Mall of Georgia. Health Department Issues Warning of Possible Hepatitis Exposure at Lawrenceville Restaurant Respiratory virus outlook in Georgia encouraging Bulls, Bands and Barrels — a fusion of rodeo and country music — coming to Gwinnett's Gas South Arena 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: Health Department Issues Warning of Possible Hepatitis Exposure at Lawrenceville Restaurant The Gwinnett County health department issued a warning about potential hepatitis A exposure at Lolita's Bar and Grill in Lawrenceville. A server at the restaurant was diagnosed with hepatitis A, and customers who ate there from Oct. 24 to Nov. 7 are advised to contact healthcare providers or the Gwinnett County Health Department for hepatitis A vaccine recommendations. The vaccine is available at the health department with no out-of-pocket cost. Hepatitis A is a contagious viral infection with symptoms like nausea, tiredness, stomach pain, and jaundice. The virus spreads through contaminated objects, food, or drinks, often due to inadequate handwashing.     STORY 2: Respiratory virus outlook in Georgia encouraging State Epidemiologist Dr. Cherie Drenzek reported declining COVID-19 cases as Georgia enters the respiratory virus season, with RSV and flu expected to return to pre-pandemic levels. While COVID-19, RSV, and flu trends show improvement, Drenzek emphasized the combined threat, urging caution. Although deaths and hospitalizations from COVID are at their lowest since the pandemic's start, circulating variants pose a wildcard. While positive RSV tests dropped from 21% to 10%, hospitalizations for infants and young children are a concern. Flu cases are rising but represent only 4% of outpatient doctor visits, mainly affecting children aged 0-4.     STORY 3: Bulls, Bands and Barrels — a fusion of rodeo and country music — coming to Gwinnett's Gas South Arena Gwinnett's Gas South Arena will host Bulls, Bands, and Barrels (BBB), a unique event merging rodeo, music, and entertainment, on January 27, marking the start of BBB's inaugural national tour. The 21-city tour features elite bull riders, cowgirls navigating barrels, and freestyle bullfighting. The show also includes performances by country music artists such as Warren Zeiders, Sam Barber, and Alexandra Kay. BBB President Hunter Price sees the tour as a game-changer, expanding the venture to a national scale with Peachtree Entertainment and Premier Productions. Tickets for the Gas South Arena show go on sale to the public on Friday at 10 a.m.   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: Norcross-based Willis Mechanical honored with HIRE Vets Medallion Award Norcross-based Willis Mechanical Inc. received the HIRE Vets Medallion Award from the U.S. Department of Labor in the Platinum Level division for its commitment to recruiting, employing, and retaining military veterans. This marks the fourth time the HVAC and refrigeration services company has received the award. With about 50 employees, a quarter to a third of whom are veterans, Willis Mechanical emphasizes supporting veterans in their transition to civilian work. The HIRE Vets Medallion Award recognizes companies that demonstrate dedication to hiring and retaining veterans, acknowledging the valuable contributions veterans make in the workplace. The award highlights Willis Mechanical's ongoing commitment to hiring veterans.   STORY 5: LAKO: Understanding the impact of coupon rates and yield to maturity Many investors are concerned about low bond yields, holding bonds at 3.25% while new bonds yield around 4.60%. The confusion often arises between a bond's coupon rate and yield to maturity. The coupon rate is fixed, representing annual interest payments, while yield to maturity varies based on factors like time and bond price. Investors should consider yield to maturity when buying bonds at a price not equal to par value. Selling existing bonds to chase higher yields may lead to losses due to declining prices. The focus should be on protecting principal and fulfilling spending needs upon maturity, considering factors like current yields and maturity dates.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  JACKSON EMC - ESOG - INGLES 4   STORY 6: Police Upgrade Charges Against Suspect in Lawrenceville Double Shooting Terrance Alonzo Washington, accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend and her son in a domestic incident, is now facing murder charges as the son, Daqwayvious Kleckley, succumbed to his injuries. The shooting occurred in unincorporated Lawrenceville on Nov. 7. Washington initially faced charges like aggravated assault and firearm possession. With Daqwayvious Kleckley's death, Washington is additionally charged with felony murder and malice murder. The police responded to a domestic dispute report, discovering the victims in the driveway, and Washington was later apprehended in Warner Robins. The mother, Deyawnday Kleckley, is still undergoing treatment for her wounds.     STORY 7: Appellate court to hear arguments over Trump's rhetoric in federal trial on 2020 election Former President Donald Trump's appeal to lift a partial gag order in the criminal case accusing him of crimes related to overturning the 2020 election will be heard in a Washington, D.C., appeals court. Trump, seeking to speak freely about the case during his reelection bid, faces restrictions after making statements about witnesses and prosecutors that could incite violence. The appeal challenges the order by District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, arguing it infringes on Trump's free speech rights. Legal experts note the case's unique challenges due to Trump's significant social media presence and political influence. The appeal hearing will address the core issues of free speech and the court's duty to control proceedings.       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.

Transportation   Earlier this summer, the Georgia Department of Transportation awarded $172.6 million for 27 road projects in the state. However, closer scrutiny suggests the actual amount awarded may be over $197.1 million. The largest project, awarded to McLendon Enterprises, totaled $58.6 million for a Toombs County reconstruction project. State officials reported that reconstruction projects accounted for 35% of the funds awarded. Additionally, about 26% went to construction projects, 19% to bridge construction, 18% to safety initiatives, and 2% to bridge rehabilitation. Inflation has previously increased project costs, leading to project rejections or deferrals..……………. read more on this at gwinnettdailypost.com     STORY 2: tax   Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed House Bills 118 and 622 to triple Bartow County's homestead tax exemptions, but property taxes have increased across the state. State Representative Matthew Gambill discussed efforts to address rising property taxes. The state provided a property tax relief grant, but its continuation is uncertain. Gambill acknowledged the challenges faced by fixed-income property owners and encouraged appealing property valuations or managing mortgage payments. He also mentioned discussions about finding equitable ways for cities and counties to fund themselves beyond property taxes. The conversation includes exploring alternatives like eliminating the state income tax and adopting a broad but low tax approach, which will likely be addressed in the upcoming legislative session.   Story 3: vibe The Atlanta Vibe has been revealed as the official name of the city's professional women's volleyball team, part of the Pro Volleyball Federation. The team will play their home games at Gas South Arena in Gwinnett County, with seating for over 10,000 spectators.

The logo integrates the 'A' for Atlanta and the letter 'V' for vibe, with intertwining branches resembling highways and communities. The team is one of the inaugural seven in the Professional Volleyball Federation's 2024 season, aiming to provide a professional experience for players and fans alike.

The Marquee Club presented by Lexus offers a premium experience with early entry, themed food and drinks, rooftop access, and family-friendly activities. Film tours and tickets are available for purchase on the Fox Theatre website.   Story 5: disc   J.P.

Now a defensive captain for the Atlanta Hustle in the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL), Burns is a key player on the 10-2 South Division team. The Hustle earned a spot in the AUDL playoffs, hosting their first-ever playoff game on August 11. Ultimate is a sport similar to football and basketball, involving throwing and passing the disc to advance, and Burns's role has been crucial to the team's performance. The Hustle's playoff journey aims to advance them further in the championship rounds.   Story 6: greene   Justin Greene, a talented high school football player from Mountain View, made the decision to stop wrestling during his sophomore year to focus on his future in college football. This allowed him to gain weight and transform from a lean defensive end to a formidable powerhouse. Greene's commitment to the sport paid off, as he gained over 40 pounds in just a few months and improved his performance on the field. This transformation caught the attention of college coaches, and he eventually committed to playing for the University of Georgia. Greene's dedication, work ethic, and passion for football have propelled him to success in the sport.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: ESOG – Ingles 4   Story 7: Leah   And Now Leah McGrath, corporate dietician at Ingles Markets talks with us about plant based meats   ****LEAH****   We'll have final thoughts after this   Break 4: Lawrenceville - Henssler 60 Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

Since opening its doors in 2012, the Gwinnett Business RadioX studio has interviewed more than 3,000 local business leaders while producing some of the network's most popular programming including the acclaimed “Celebrating Powerhouse Women” podcast series, the Gwinnett Chamber's “Voice of Business” podcast, and the studio's long-running award-winning signature show “Gwinnett Business Radio”.  A man from Duluth  was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to murdering his girlfriend at a restaurant in Marietta. According to the Cobb County District Attorney's Office, Jose Ramon Lemus shot his girlfriend, Janice Ross, in the neck after becoming angry at her for asking about another woman he had been communicating with. He then fled into the woods but was apprehended by police within an hour with the help of a police K-9. Ross died at the scene of the shooting. During the sentencing, the victim's family members spoke about the impact of losing her, with her 14-year-old daughter saying, "I won't ever get my mom back and it hurts." Atlanta's Chick-fil-A is planning a $1 billion expansion to open restaurants in Asia and Europe, with a goal to have a presence in five international markets by 2030. Despite being the third-largest fast-food chain in the US, with more than 2,700 restaurants, only a few of these are overseas. The move is aimed at testing how Chick-fil-A will perform in international markets to learn and innovate, according to CEO Andrew Cathy. Chick-fil-A has previously launched an expansion in South Africa that lasted five years, and in 2019 it opened but soon closed a London-area restaurant due to protests about anti-gay marriage statements made by Chick-Fil-A's former CEO. Gwinnett Technical College has experienced a surge in enrollment for the third consecutive semester, with a nearly 10% increase in enrollment numbers for the 2023 spring semester compared to last year. Gwinnett Tech's President, Glen Cannon, credits the increase to the opening of the new Emerging Technologies building and the renovation of other buildings, the Dual Enrollment programs for high school students, and the expansion of academic programs to feed high-demand careers. The enrollment growth indicates that Gwinnett Tech provides the skills needed in today's competitive job market and is on a growth trajectory for the future.

Gwinnett County residents can now get an overdose-reversing kit for free from local health officials in case they are worried that they, or someone they care about, might be in danger from opioid use. GNR Public Health announced on Friday that it is making the Narcan kits available to anyone over 18 in its three-county footprint. Narcan is a substance that can be used on someone, who is suffering from an overdose, to save their life. Narcan has been available for a few years to law enforcement officers to carry with them in case they encounter someone who is experiencing an overdose, but there has been a push in recent years to get it into the hands of community members as well in an effort to reduce opioid use related deaths. Each kit that GNR Public Health is providing to community members includes two naloxone doses as well as a pouch to carry them in, a CPR face shield and information about how to administer the doses as well as the medical amnesty law, recovery and treatment options. The kits are available at the Lawrenceville Health Center, located at 455 Grayson Highway Suite 300, and the Norcross Health Center, which is located at 5030 Georgia Belle Court. Health officials said their staff is trained to teach people how to properly administer Narcan, and they will review the instructions with each person who picks up a kit. A federal judge sentenced a Buford man to six years in prison on Friday for his role in a Ponzi scheme involving cattle trading. Buford resident Ron Throgmartin , and Galesburg, Illinois resident Reva Joyce Stachniw were convicted last August on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, five counts of wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Stachniw was sentenced to six years in prison as well on Friday. The U.S. Department of Justice said Throgmartin and Stachniw, as well as another co-conspirator, were accused in court documents of “fraudulently representing to victims that their investments were backed by short-term investments in Stachniw and Throgmartin's cattle and marijuana businesses.” Victims gave them money under the assumption that it would go where they had been told it would go, but the dollars instead went to paying back earlier investors, according to prosecutors. The Department of Justice said victims lost millions of dollars as a result. In addition to their jail time, Throgmartin and Stachniw were also ordered by a federal judge to each pay nearly $14.6 million in restitution. Throgmartin must forfeit just over $1 million, while Stachniw must forfeit just over $6 million, as well. As visitors walk to county offices at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center his month, they are greeted with images of Black people engaging in every day life. There is a group of Black women enjoying a Sunday tea together in one painting by Gwinnett-based artist Shoghi Lombard. Another painting by Lombard shows three black women in white dresses lifting their arms to the heavens as they offer praise to God. Sitting next to image of the praying women is another Lombard painting of three different Black women who are also wearing in white dresses, but this group is in a field together. Across the aisle, there is a painting by a Gwinnett County Public Schools student of a Black couple relaxing as they lay next to each other in a field of grass together. A young Black man is shown in profile in a portrait, by another GCPS student, that is nestled among paintings by other students. The paintings are part of Gwinnett County government's annual Black History Month display, which is devoted this year to highlighting locally produced Black art. Gwinnettians who cannot make it during the day to see the display will have a chance to see it at night this week. County officials will commemorate Black History Month with a Heritage Night Celebration on tonight night at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, which is located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. The event will begin with food and socializing at 6:30 p.m., with the celebration itself beginning at 7 p.m. The Berean Christian Church Choir and representatives from GCPS will perform and poet laureate Hank Stewart will speak as well. The Black History Month display is part of the build up to the event, and it gives people who cannot attend the celebration a way to reflect on Gwinnett's Black community, and its history, at any time during February. The display will remain up at GJAC until March 1. In most of the Georgia High School Association's classifications, the team point total put forth by Buford and Mill Creek would've been good enough to win the state title at the 2023 traditional wrestling tournament.  Unfortunately for the Wolves and Hawks, they happen to reside in Class AAAAAAA, domain to Camden County, which claimed its seventh straight team title in the state's largest classification and ninth straight overall Saturday at the Macon Centreplex.  The Wildcats piled up 233 team points with state placers in all 14 weight classes, including three state champions, to edge the Wolves, which finished as runner up with 219 points behind 11 state placers and two state champions — Drew Gorman, who pinned Parkview's to win the individual title at 136 pounds, and Gavin Pope, who outpointed North Paulding's Josh Denson for a 5-4 decision to win the title at 144. Meanwhile, Mill Creek's total of 158.5 – paced by state champions Antonio Mills (46-1) at 113, Blue Stiffler at 126, Amantee Mills  at 132 and Dominic Bambinelli at 165 and three other state placers – was good enough for third place, the highest placing for the Hawks. Despite coming up just short of the team title with such a strong showing, Buford coach Tom Beuglas has no complaints about the result, or with the way his Wolves wrestled this weekend. Mill Creek coach Nathan White expressed similar sentiments about his team's historic finish, which continues a strong set of showings on the state level that started last season. . Two Tuesday Morning stores in Gwinnett County, located in Buford and Snellville, are among the 12 Georgia stores that the home decor retailer plans to close soon as it goes through bankruptcy proceedings. The news of the stores slated for closure comes on the heels of Tuesday Morning's bankruptcy filing on Tuesday. The chain plans to close about 264 of its 464 stores as part of a restructuring, claiming the stores slated to be shut down are in “unprofitable locations,” according to bankruptcy documents. The Mall of Georgia store Boulevard in Buford and the Presidential Commons store in Snellville are among the stores slated to close. Tuesday Morning officials have not announced specific closing dates for either location, but going out of business sales have already begun, according to the chain's website.  It's no secret that with the many diversions — both worth and unworthy — available to young people, reading for pleasure is often not a priority. But if an appreciation for the printed word starts early, there's a greater chance that children will embrace reading as they grow. To that end, Disney On Ice and Monster Jam have collaborated with public libraries in the Atlanta area to encourage young readers to take part in an initiative that will entitle them to free tickets (with the purchase of an adult ticket) to either “Disney On Ice presents Find Your Hero” or Monster Jam, both of which will make Atlanta-area appearances in April. Children — ages 2 to 12 — are urged to visit their local public libraries in Gwinnett, Henry and Barrow counties to collect a reward club card, which will detail the steps to earn a free ticket. Once five or more books have been read, the child and their parent or guardian can redeem the reward club card for a free ticket. Libraries participating in the “Disney On Ice presents Find Your Hero” offer include the 16 branches of the Gwinnett Public Library, the five branches of the Henry County Library System, the Auburn Pubic Library and the Winder Public Library, among others. Libraries participating in the Monster Jam offer include the Auburn Public Library, the Henry County Library System and the Winder Public Library. “Disney On Ice presents Find Your Hero” is scheduled to visit the Gas South Arena in Dultuh from April 20-23. Free tickets can be redeemed for performances at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 20, at 11 a.m. or 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 21, at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 22 and at 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 23.

Bryan Adams is coming to Gwinnett County in June and he's bringing Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.For more on this story please listen to the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast. Adams' tour in support of his 15th studio album — “So Happy It Hurts” — makes a stop at the Gas South Arena on June 18. The 26-city tour, which starts June 6 in Baltimore. Adams announced the 2023 So Happy It Hurts Tour on Tuesday night's episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." Adams is famous for songs like “Summer of ‘69”, “Everything  I Do” , “Heaven”, and more. Joan Jett's hits include “I Love Rock n Roll” and “I hate myself for loving you.” Tickets go on sale starting today at noon on ticketmaster.com. Andy Maughon may have retired from nearly five decades of fixing automobiles, but he's planning to stay more than active. Maughon, who for the past 27 years has owned and operated Andy's Muffler & Lube on Scenic Highway in Snellville, closed the business on January 31, selling the property where his shop was located. He said he may find a part-time job to “keep from going insane,” and that he is a hunter and fisher, and that he and his wife do enjoy horseback riding. When asked why he decided to retire now, Maughon said, “It's time. I'm tired and I can't get any help, so it's just time. I've got two (employees) working for me now and I used to have eight.” It's likely that the Monroe native, who now lives in the Oglethorpe County town of Arnoldsville, will also continue his hobby of racing. When he opened his shop in 1995, Maughon and his wife were featured in the Gwinnett Daily Post for their racing prowess. When the COVID pandemic kept families close to home, Loganville resident Michael A. Carson and his son Matthew decided to team up on a writing project that resulted in the publication of two books — one about the origins of Black History Month and the other about notable African-American jazz figures through history. Although the Carsons are no longer stuck inside, their collaboration continued with a new book, “Unsung African-American History Makers: Unknown Hidden Figures And Their Stories,” which was released on New Year's Day. Carson said that it was his son — who just celebrated his 13th birthday — who came up with the idea for their latest book. Although the father-son team has thus far proven quite prolific, Carson said they don't have a firm idea on their next book — or if there will be a next book. Their process is usually started when they hear of something that they both think might make a good book. As of now, they don't have anything currently in mind. Carson also said the best part of this whole process is the familial connection that he and his son have made.   Students from South Gwinnett High School brought home a national championship in late January after winning the SuitUp Capgemini business competition. The competition took place in four cities — New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago and Atlanta — with the winning team from each region advancing to compete nationally. South Gwinnett represented the Atlanta market. The teams participating in the competition hosted by SuitUp (an educational nonprofit that seeks to increase career readiness for young people through business plan competitions) assumed the role of CEO for Capgemini, designing the prototype for a teen-friendly app focused on financial literacy. Each student was recognized with a certificate and a cash prize. A dozen families were displaced by a fire at a Norcross-area apartment complex on Tuesday. Gwinnett County firefighters were called to the Terra at Norcross Apartments complex, at 10:12 a.m., on a report that smoke was coming from a water heater closet. A plumber later told fire officials that he had noticed smoke in a water heater closet while he was working on pipes in the closet and used pull stations to make occupants aware of the fire. Crews arrived three minutes after they were called and found a two-story, multi-unit building on fire and deployed four hose lines to battle the flames. They also used two hydrants which were located in the apartment complex. The cause of the fire is still being investigated by fire department officials. One adult male did sustain a minor injury during the fire, but he was treated by medical crews and released at the scene. Twelve families were displaced by the fire and the complex's management is working with them to get them a place to stay while repairs are made. The Knight History Essay Contest, established by the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution in honor of George S. and Stella M. Knight, is designed to provide high school students an opportunity to probe the major events of American history. Bolstered by research conducted by the student-writer, essays — ranging in word county from 800 to 1,200 — must be original with topics based on an event, person, philosophy or ideal associated with the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence or the framing of the U.S. Constitution. Students from the ninth through 12th grade submit their essays at the chapter and state levels to be considered for the national contest. Macayla Hutsler, a home-schooled 11th grade student from Gwinnett, is the recipient of the Lawrenceville-based Button Gwinnett Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution's essay contest award for 2022-23. Hutsler also won the state award, which was presented in late January at the Georgia Society, Sons of the American Revolution in Duluth. Hutsler's essay was entitled “Caesar Rodney: A Patriot Worth Remembering.” One of America's founding fathers, Rodney, who was born and died in Delaware, provided the tiebreaking vote that made the Declaration of Independence unanimous after Pennsylvania and South Carolina also voted for independence.

There can be little argument that the COVID pandemic of the last few years forced a lot of folks to become more acquainted with their own homes, where they found themselves spending more and more time. It is for that reason that the home renovation and design industries stayed healthy while many other businesses struggled. With that in mind — and with spring right around the corner — could there be a better time for the 25th annual North Atlanta Home Show? Set for Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Gas South Convention Center in Duluth, the North Atlanta Home Show will bring more than 160 exhibitors to the area for a comprehensive collection of products, services, displays and experts that covers just about everything related to home improvement. Levine added that with the expansion of the convention center now complete, there will be even more opportunities for patrons to be dazzled by the array of options. Last year's home show attracted some 7,000 visitors and Levine said he can see even more attendees this time around. The home show is produced by Marketplace Events, North America's largest presenter of home, garden, holiday and bridal shows. Levine said just every show produced thus far in 2023 — including Oklahoma City, Dallas, Washington, Kansas City, Austin, Salt Lake City and several Canadian cities — has seen an uptick in visitors.  Suwanee resident and Southern Company Gas/Nicor Gas Director of Corporate Safety Brian Thomas was the recent recipient of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity — Alpha Upsilon Lambda Chapter's Martin Luther King, Jr. Legacy Award for Governmental and Military Service.

In 2009, Brian deployed to Afghanistan with the 135th Sustainment Command as the Human Resources Operations Branch OIC. He retired from the Alabama Army National Guard Active/Guard Reserve program as a Major, after 26 years of service in November 2014. In August 2014, Thomas joined Southern Company — Nicor Gas' parent company — as a Senior Safety & Health Specialist with the Georgia Power Company. He began with Southern Company Gas in 2017, as the Senior Safety Compliance Specialist, and was later promoted to Safety Manager. Currently, he is the Director of Corporate Safety for Nicor Gas in Naperville, Illinois In this role, he is responsible for providing strategic leadership and directing programs two ensure compliance in the areas of occupational safety, motor vehicle safety, process safety and industrial hygiene. Thomas currently resides between Suwanee and Plainfield, Illinois with his wife of 26 years, Shirlinda Nelson Thomas.
