Today is Saturday, October 25th and Happy Birthday to Bobby Knight I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Georgia Gwinnett College to host Preview Day on Nov. 8 Midway magic: Netherworld delivers the ultimate Halloween experience New principals named at Gwin Oaks Elementary and Jordan Middle School 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 MOG STORY 1: Georgia Gwinnett College to host Preview Day on Nov. 8 Thinking about becoming a Grizzly? Georgia Gwinnett College is rolling out the welcome mat for future students and their families on Nov. 8, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., for Preview Day. What’s on tap? A little bit of everything. You’ll meet professors, chat with current students, and explore over 45 academic programs. There’s a guided campus tour (yes, they’ll show you the dorms), plus a peek into GGC’s buzzing student life—clubs, events, and all the support you didn’t know you needed. Ready to check it out? Register at www.ggc.edu/PreviewDays. STORY 2: Midway magic: Netherworld delivers the ultimate Halloween experience Sure, it’s football season. And the leaves are doing their thing. But let’s be real—it’s spooky season, and there’s no better place to dive into the chills than Netherworld Haunted House in Stone Mountain. This year’s frights? “Monsters Attack!” and the double feature “Oblivion: Return of the Mangler, Featuring Grendel’s Feast.” Terrifying, right? But the real chaos? The Midway. Between haunts, you’ll find food, games, photo ops, and maybe even a monster or two lurking around. “The Midway is where the energy really explodes,” said co-founder Billy Messina. Think nachos, creepy drinks, escape rooms, and the House of Creeps Monster Museum. Tickets? Grab ’em early at fearworld.com. STORY 3: New principals named at Gwin Oaks Elementary and Jordan Middle School Two Gwinnett schools are getting new leaders, the district announced last week. At its Oct. 16 meeting, the Gwinnett County Board of Education approved Wendy C. McDonald as the new principal of Gwin Oaks Elementary, replacing Dr. Craig Barlow, who’s retiring. McDonald, currently an assistant principal at Trickum Middle, started her career in Louisiana before joining GCPS in 2005. She’s got degrees in political science, early childhood education, and literacy—all from UGA. Over at Jordan Middle, Alex “Hunter” McRae will take the reins from Melissa M. Miller, who’s moving to Bay Creek Middle. McRae, a GCPS veteran since 2000, has a background in music education and leadership. 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: Georgia Department of Education recognizes five Gwinnett schools on 2025 Distinguished and Reward Schools list Big news for Gwinnett schools! Jackson Elementary, Mountain Park Elementary, Paul Duke STEM High, and Trip Elementary have been named 2025 Distinguished Schools by the Georgia Department of Education. What does that mean? They’re in the top 5% of Title I schools statewide, based on ELA and math scores. Pretty impressive, right? And there’s more—Arcado Elementary snagged the 2025 Title I Reward School honor, recognizing the top 5% of schools making the biggest improvements over two years. Each school gets a certificate, a flag, and a shot at a national award. STORY 5: Contested mayoral races top ballots in three cities This fall’s municipal elections are heating up, especially in three cities with contested mayoral races. While most ballots focus on city council seats, Loganville, Braselton, and Sugar Hill voters have some big decisions to make. In Loganville, it’s an open race—Mayor Skip Baliles is retiring. Voters will choose between City Councilman Branden Whitfield and local business owner John Soesbe to take the reins. Braselton’s Mayor Kurt Ward is up against two challengers: Michael Cronic, a former school board chair, and Brandon Reed, founder of ReeDesign MFG. Over in Sugar Hill, Mayor Brandon Hembree faces watchdog Amber Chambers in his first re-election bid. Meanwhile, Dacula, Grayson, and Norcross mayors are cruising to re-election unopposed. STORY 6: Lawrenceville City Council races come ahead of big annexation vote Lawrenceville’s city council races are in the spotlight this year—and not just because it’s the county seat. There’s also a big annexation vote looming in May that could add 19,000 new residents to the city. The leaders elected in November? They’ll be the ones managing that growth if it happens. Incumbents Austin Thompson (Post 3) and Marlene Taylor Crawford (Post 4) are both seeking re-election, but they’ve got challengers. Thompson faces former FOX 5 reporter Randy Travis, while Crawford is up against Gwinnett Sheriff’s Office Major Bryant Harris. Thompson, an engineer and small business consultant, is focused on economic growth, affordable housing, and making Lawrenceville a “city of the future.” He’s all-in on the annexation, saying it’ll bring character and opportunity to the city. Travis, meanwhile, is leaning on his decades of local visibility and says he’ll focus on traffic, taxes, and expanding the city’s tax base without burdening current residents. He’s also committed to explaining the annexation’s benefits to those in the proposed area. In the Post 4 race, Crawford, a school counselor and longtime community advocate, is pushing for equity across all neighborhoods—no more blight in one area and prosperity in another. She supports the annexation but stresses the need to expand services thoughtfully. Harris, with a deep background in law enforcement, is prioritizing safety, youth programs, and traffic solutions. He’s for the annexation too but says the city must ensure new residents get the same quality of services current ones enjoy. With so much at stake, these races are ones to watch. STORY 7: Gwinnett Counselor named Georgia School Counselor of the Year Crews Middle School’s Shayla Thompson just got some well-deserved applause—she’s been named Georgia School Counselor of the Year by the Georgia School Counselor Association. “I’m beyond grateful,” Thompson said. “This isn’t just about me—it’s about the incredible leaders, colleagues, and students who’ve supported me every step of the way. I couldn’t do this without them.” The surprise announcement came with flowers, a banner, and a visit from GSCA President Gabrielle Brundidge. Principal Cindy Moffett called Thompson’s work “inspiring,” adding, “She makes every student feel seen and valued.” Thompson, who’s also the 2025 GCPS Middle School Counselor of the Year, said, “Everything I do is for the students.” We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Ingles Markets Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

In Episode 106, Ben's "one-day-feels-like-multi-day" adventure sets the stage for a lively discussion about planning extended flying trips. Between battling 60-knot headwinds, debating the merits of various approaches, and discovering why a credit card might be your most important safety equipment (unless you have a parachute), the hosts share practical wisdom wrapped in aviation humor. From Brian's "chase the tailwinds" philosophy to Ted's daylight-deprived Portland perspective, learn the art of multi-day trip planning – and why someone might drive three hours just to retrieve a tail tie-down strap. * LZU Gwinnett, Lawrenceville Ga: https://www.airnav.com/airport/LZU * OLV Olive Branch, Miss: https://www.airnav.com/airport/kolv * Windy weather app: https://www.windy.com/ * Windy's meteogram: https://community.windy.com/topic/14827/how-to-read-meteogram * Erica Gilbert's Aerosafe: https://www.youtube.com/@AeroSafe Support the show, get merch, and send us your feedback! www.midlifepilotpodcast.com

Hosted by: Deborah Michas (IG: @deborahmichas) & Justin Bizzarro (IG: @justinbizzarro)   Episode Notes: 1) Getting friends and family to taste test products and give honest feedback is essential. 2) Do not put any product into the hands of consumers that does not live up to your flavor and/or quality expectations. 3) Print advertising is not working.  Internet and social media are producing greatest results. 4) Sharing knowledge is the key to success but so is learning from an entrepreneur, especially if it is a family member. 5) Always grow and look for new opportunities as an entrepreneur.

Dan Reiland, Executive Pastor at 12stone Church in Lawrenceville GA joins us to talk about the futile pursuit of a balanced life. Isn't that what we are always reaching for?
