Break 1: MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Gwinnett Police Looking For Driver In Fatal Hit-And-Run The Gwinnett County Police Department is seeking public assistance to solve a hit-and-run that killed pedestrian Mecha Woodard on September 27. Woodard, 24, was struck while walking in the gore zone between State Route 316 and the Boggs Road entrance ramp. The suspect vehicle, a 2019-2022 Lexus RX350 or RX 450, has damage to the front passenger-side bumper and headlight. Anyone with information should contact GCPD detectives or Crime Stoppers, where anonymous tips can earn a cash reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment. STORY 2:  Runners Will Paint Gwinnett Pink To Help Fight Breast Cancer The Ninth Annual Paint Gwinnett Pink 5K Run/Walk is set for October 19 at Coolray Field, supporting breast cancer treatment at Northside Hospital Gwinnett.

STORY 3:  Longshoremen's strike silences Georgia ports The ports of Savannah and Brunswick remain closed due to a longshoremen's strike affecting East and Gulf coast ports. The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) demands higher pay and an end to automation from the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX). ILA President Harold Daggett criticized USMX for prioritizing profits over fair compensation for American workers. The Georgia Ports Authority stated it will reopen the ports once an agreement is reached. The strike, the first since 1977, could lead to increased prices and potential shortages as the holiday shopping season approaches.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for July 31st        Publish Date:  July 31st         From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, July 31st and Happy 62nd Birthday to actor Wesley Snipes. ***07.31.24 – BIRTHDAY – WESLEY SNIPES*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett Students Exceed State On Milestones Gwinnett Police Mourn Death of Retired K-9 Elsa More Gwinnett School Board Members Speak Out About AP African-American Studies Plus, Bruce Jenkins' conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on how to manage snacking. 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 and subscribe! Break 1: M.O.G.   STORY 1: Gwinnett Students Exceed State On Milestones Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) students generally outperform their statewide peers on Georgia Milestones Assessments, excelling in 11 out of 13 areas. However, results still fall short of the ambitious goals set by the district's Blueprint For The Future plan. Less than 50% of students in several grades, particularly in English/language arts and social studies, achieved proficient or distinguished scores. Notably, 8th-grade science and high school physical science results were significantly below state averages. GCPS is analyzing these results to improve strategies and outcomes. The full details will be presented to the school board in August, with math results expected in September. STORY 2: Gwinnett Police Mourn Death Of Retired K-9 Elsa Gwinnett County Police K-9 Elsa, who retired last fall after eight years of service, passed away last Thursday due to a spinal illness. Elsa, a Belgian Malinois, joined the department in 2016, thanks to a $12,000 donation for her training. During her career, she participated in 545 service calls, apprehended 51 suspects, and was involved in 87 narcotic apprehensions and 133 evidence recoveries. Her retirement came in October due to declining performance. Elsa was cared for by her final handler, Cpl. Austin Hylton, and will be remembered for her significant contributions to public safety. STORY 3:   More Gwinnett School Board Members Speak Out About AP African-American Studies Gwinnett School Board Vice Chair Karen Watkins co-signed a letter from the Georgia Federation of Teachers demanding an explanation from Georgia Schools Superintendent Richard Woods for not recommending state funding for the AP African-American Studies course. This decision, which has sparked backlash including from Gov. Brian Kemp, means the course cannot be offered as an AP course in Gwinnett due to funding and GPA implications. The letter, also supported by local churches and advocacy groups, seeks a revamp of the curriculum to be more inclusive. Watkins and other Gwinnett board members argue that students should have access to such courses without bearing additional costs. The Georgia Federation of Teachers plans to push for legislation to address these educational inequities in the 2025 session.   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: TOM WAGES STORY 4: NOW OPEN:  New 280-Unit Apartment Complex in Norcross The Clara By Broadstone, a 280-unit apartment complex by Alliance Residential, has opened at 5420 Buford Highway in Norcross. Located near downtown Norcross and close to Lillian Webb Park and the Norcross library, the complex offers one- and two-bedroom apartments featuring modern amenities like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood-style floors. The property includes a 24-hour fitness center, resort-style saltwater pool, coworking space, pet park, and outdoor dining area. This development is part of a broader effort to revitalize the Buford Highway area into a more urban and vibrant community. STORY 5: Brunswick sets cargo record while Savannah suffers decline   In fiscal 2024, the Port of Brunswick saw significant growth, handling a record 876,000 units of Roll-on/Roll-off cargo, a 21% increase from the previous year. In contrast, the Port of Savannah experienced a 2.3% decline in containerized-cargo volume, managing 5.25 million twenty-foot equivalent units. Brunswick's growth is attributed to rising consumer demand, expanded trade, new car manufacturers, and cargo diversions from Baltimore. Despite Savannah's decline, the Georgia Ports Authority remains optimistic and continues to invest in infrastructure, including new facilities at both ports. We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: INGLES  3   And now here is Bruce Jenkins' conversation with Leah McGrath about how to manage snacking.   ***LEAH MCGRATH INERVIEW***   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 4 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Robinson, Target and True Value Hardware, along with the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the Georgia Ports Authority, and several other transportation providers and businesses.

Griff Lynch, Georgia Ports Authority's executive director, recently unveiled plans to expand the port's container capacity by 60 percent. The enhancements will bring the Port of Savannah's annual capacity from 6 million twenty-foot equivalent container units to 9.5 million TEUs by 2025.

This episode features an update from Georgia DOT Commissioner Russell McMurry and Georgia Ports Authority Executive Director Griff Lynch.

SAVANNAH, Ga. – As the nation faces concerns over COVID-19, Eric McCray realizes that the trucking community is the heartbeat of America, keeping the supply chain moving and store shelves stocked. “Our drivers are essential workers,” said McCray, director of human resources for TCW Inc., a trucking company who consistently hauls from the Port of Savannah. “We make sure everything runs like it's supposed to.” McCray said precautions in place aim to make sure employees return safely home to their families. TCW and other trucking companies serving the Port of Savannah are transporting much-needed essentials such as medical supplies, food, and agricultural products day and night. “At the Georgia Ports Authority, we can't say enough to thank our trucking community for their effort and dedication to serving the needs of our state and the nation,” said GPA Executive Director Griff Lynch. “Especially now, motor carriers are a vital link in the supply chain for frontline healthcare workers, and for the farmers who need to get their goods to market.” In addition to adhering to social distancing guidelines and frequent hand washing, McCray said some of the most effective strategies to minimize possible exposure include wiping down trucks before and after each shift and providing mailboxes through which drivers electronically receive dispatches on provided tablets. Having a safe working environment is also at the top of Crystal Foster's list. Foster, a driver for the Hubach Group, makes frequent pick-ups and deliveries at Garden City Terminal. Foster said she's noticed the community is doing as instructed and stepping up to make sure everyone is protected. Recent protocols included in Georgia Ports' “Isolate and Operate” plan such as frequent cleaning of high-traffic areas and temporary suspension of biometric scanners have helped address drivers' concerns. “It just makes drivers feel more comfortable,” Foster said. “We are doing what we have to do in order to get our job done.” McCray added that it's important to let drivers working around the clock to ensure cargo fluidity know they're appreciated. He also said his friends in the trucking community take great pride in what they do. “We consider ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity to help and get through this thing,” McCray said.

President Trump said he would pause tariff escalations with China after meeting with that country's president, Xi Jinping, at the G20 Summit. One Georgia industry tracking the ongoing talks is shipping. The Trump administration had threatened a 25% tariff on ship-to-shore cranes that come from China. The Georgia Ports Authority is ordering six new ones at a total cost of $70 million. Its executive director and Georgia's U.S. senators are asking the White House to rethink taxing them. That's because the cranes are just one piece of a $2.5 billion expansion at the ports that's smashing trade and revenue records.
