Podcasts about Norcross

Earlier this week, the legendary Izzo met with reporters and went on a tirade about the NCAA allowing London Johnson---a 3-year veteran of the NBA's G-League—to sign with Louisville and be eligible this season Johnson opted to go pro after he left high school in Norcross, GA and played 3 years in the G-League, but never played college basketball….and now he's playing at Louisville.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 30th Publish Date: October 30th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 30th and Happy birthday to Henry Winkler I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Walgreens and InCommunity partner to offer free vaccination clinics in Norcross A state representative steps down, creating another vacancy in the General Assembly Gwinnett senator to Kemp: Declare SNAP benefits emergency Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on carrots 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: Ingles Markets 9 STORY 1: Walgreens and InCommunity partner to offer free vaccination clinics in Norcross Walgreens and InCommunity are hosting free vaccination clinics around the metro area, including one this Friday in Norcross. No insurance? No problem. Everyone’s welcome—individuals, families, whoever needs it. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., head to the Gwinnett Academic Assist Program Training Center at 1600 Oakbrook Drive. Flu shots, COVID boosters, RSV, shingles, pneumonia—you name it, they’ve got it. Licensed Walgreens pharmacists will be there to handle it all. And yes, it’s completely free. If you’ve got Medicaid or insurance, they’ll process it, but it’s not required. Walk-ins are fine, or register online through Walgreens. Don’t miss it! STORY 2: A state representative steps down, creating another vacancy in the General Assembly  Another Georgia lawmaker is stepping down, adding to the growing list of vacancies in the state legislature. Rep. Marcus Wiedower announced Tuesday he’s resigning after six years in the House. Why? His job at Hillpointe, a real estate development firm, is booming—13 states now, up from one when he started. “It’s bittersweet,” he said, explaining the travel demands would pull him away from the Capitol. Wiedower chaired the House Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government. A special election will be held to fill his seat in District 121, along with three others left vacant by resignations and, tragically, a death. Politics never slows down. STORY 3: Gwinnett senator to Kemp: Declare SNAP benefits emergency   State Sen. Nabilah Islam Parkes, is urging Gov. Brian Kemp to step in and help Georgia families who are about to lose their SNAP benefits because of the federal government shutdown. The shutdown, which started Oct. 1, has left Congress at a standstill, and now the USDA says SNAP benefits won’t be issued after Nov. 1. For 1.4 million Georgians—kids, seniors, working families—that’s a crisis. “Food isn’t optional. We have a moral duty to act.” She said. She’s asking Kemp to declare a state of emergency and use Georgia’s $14.6 billion surplus to provide aid, pointing to similar actions in Virginia and Louisiana. Meanwhile, the blame game rages on. But for families relying on SNAP? The politics don’t matter. They just need food. 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: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: GDOT: Expect congestion near Netherworld on Halloween  If you’re heading to Netherworld this Halloween, brace yourself—it’s not just the haunted house that’ll be packed. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is warning drivers to expect traffic nightmares around metro Atlanta’s Halloween hotspots, especially Friday and Saturday. Netherworld, Six Flags, Stone Mountain Park, The Battery, and even Little 5 Points? All on the list of places where traffic’s gonna crawl. GDOT says the worst congestion will hit Friday from noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. And don’t forget the neighborhoods. Trick-or-treaters will be out, so slow down, stay alert, and for the love of candy, don’t drive distracted—or worse, drunk. STORY 5: Helping Kids Shine: Former Athletes Bring KidStrong to Gwinnett to Boost Youth Confidence When Jordan and Shaun Wade moved to Atlanta, they were just looking for something—anything—that could help their 3-year-old son, Shiloh, come out of his shell. Confidence, they thought, was the key. Jordan, a former Team USA track star, and Shaun, an Ohio State football standout now with the Chicago Bears, tried a few programs. Nothing clicked. Then they found KidStrong in Alpharetta. KidStrong, a science-based program for kids (walking to age 11), focuses on emotional, mental, and physical growth. With over 160 locations nationwide, it’s helping 65,000 kids a week. And now, thanks to the Wades, it’s coming to Gwinnett County—Snellville in 2026, Lawrenceville in 2027. Though new to business, Jordan’s no stranger to leadership. A former captain of South Carolina’s track team, she’s ready to bring that same energy to KidStrong. For more info, visit kidstrong.com or email Jordan at jordan.wade@kidstrong.com.

Top Stories for October 28th Publish Date: October 28th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, October 28th and Happy Birthday to Julia Roberts I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. SPARC, Motel to Home help homeless single-parent families get back into housing E-SPLOST headlines countywide ballot — but faces challenges Gwinnett police chief pushes back in Peachtree Corners 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: KIA Mall Of Georgia STORY 1: SPARC, Motel to Home help homeless single-parent families get back into housing Life hit Faith Busano like a freight train. “The day we moved into our last apartment, I lost my job,” she said. Originally from California, Faith, 32, had bounced from Michigan to Georgia, trying to find stability for herself and her two daughters, 3-year-old Love and 13-year-old Harmoni. But things kept falling apart. Family couldn’t help. The apartment didn’t work out. And when the job disappeared, so did their home. They ended up in an extended-stay motel—what was supposed to be a temporary fix. But weeks turned into months, and the motel became a trap. Her toddler’s energy was endless, her teen was struggling with mental health, and Faith herself was barely holding on. She worked customer service, drove for DoorDash, styled hair—anything to scrape by. But the grind was relentless. Then, one day, a flier changed everything. The motel was handing out groceries, and someone slipped her information about SPARC’s Motel to Home program. It felt like a lifeline. SPARC, led by Joy Monroe, helps families like Faith’s escape the cycle of extended-stay living. The program covers deposits, first month’s rent, and helps families transition into stable housing. But it’s not easy—there are requirements, and families have to actively work toward qualifying. Faith did the work. She found an apartment within her budget, got approved, and finally moved in. Monroe, who started SPARC to support single moms like herself, knows the struggle all too well. Faith is still rebuilding—working toward her medical assistant certification, dreaming of opening her own business someday. But for now, she’s just grateful to have a place to call home. STORY 2: E-SPLOST headlines countywide ballot — but faces challenges This fall, Gwinnett voters have plenty to decide, but nothing’s stirring the pot quite like the E-SPLOST referendum. Here’s the deal: Gwinnett County Public Schools and Buford City Schools want to extend the 1% sales tax for another six years, aiming to rake in $1.47 billion—most of it ($1.44 billion) for GCPS. The money would go toward maintaining aging schools (average age: 24 years), fixing roofs, replacing HVAC systems, and even funding a new career and technical education center. Safety upgrades and Chromebooks? Also on the list. Supporters say it’s essential. Opponents? They’re calling out wasteful spending—like a $7 million church purchase with no clear plan. Turnout’s been dismal so far—just 1.7% of voters have shown up. Maybe it’s the confusion of needing multiple ballots in some areas. Or maybe people just aren’t paying attention. Either way, the stakes are high. STORY 3: Gwinnett police chief pushes back in Peachtree Corners debate Nancy McGregor doesn’t see the point. The Peachtree Corners resident has been a supporter of the Gwinnett County Police Department for years, and after attending a community meeting with Police Chief J.D. McClure, she’s even more convinced: the city doesn’t need its own police force. “When you’ve got an elite department like Gwinnett’s—with their training, resources, and expertise—why would we try to replicate that?” McGregor said. The meeting, held at Peachtree Corners Baptist Church, was the first time residents heard directly from county police about the city’s proposal to break away and form its own department. McClure didn’t hold back. Crime in Peachtree Corners? Down across the board. Robberies dropped 40% this year, assaults 41%, and commercial burglaries a staggering 66%. But it’s not just about crime stats. McClure laid out what the city would lose: specialized units like SWAT, K9, and Behavioral Health, plus the county’s ability to surge officers during emergencies. Residents like Paul La Motte left the meeting impressed. “I’ve always been against the idea of a city police department, but now? I’m even more confident Gwinnett’s got this.” McGregor agreed. “Hearing their side just confirmed it for me. They’re doing a great job.” 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: Rotary joint manufacturer maierAMERICA marks 25 years in Gwinnett Back in 2000, Germany’s Christian Maier GmbH & Co. KG decided to plant roots in the U.S., and they picked Gwinnett County as their home base. Fast forward 25 years, and their subsidiary, maierAMERICA, is still here—thriving, growing, and making waves in the Norcross area. This week, the company celebrated two big milestones: 25 years in Gwinnett and 100 years since its parent company’s founding. The company’s growth has been impressive. Just last year, they tripled their space to 20,500 square feet. Gwinnett County Commission Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson marked the occasion with a proclamation, calling maierAMERICA’s success a testament to the county’s role as a hub for international business. German Consul General Melanie Moltmann and other officials echoed the sentiment, celebrating the deep ties between Germany and the U.S. STORY 5: Georgia Supreme Court upholds conviction from fatal DUI in Gwinnett Victor Allen Smith’s conviction is sticking. The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously upheld the 2023 verdict that found Smith, 59, guilty of killing 22-year-old Hugo Natanael Martinez while fleeing a state trooper in Gwinnett County. Smith, who was sentenced to life in prison, had argued that evidence about his 18-year license suspension unfairly swayed the jury. But the court didn’t buy it, ruling the evidence against him was overwhelming. Back in March 2022, Smith was clocked speeding over 80 mph on I-85—then hit 120 mph trying to outrun the trooper. Martinez, standing by his truck on the shoulder, sadly never stood a chance. Smith struck him, sending him over a retaining wall. STORY 6: ART BEAT: Nocross Gallery's 'Shapes' fundraiser features artists in a friendly bidding war The bidding’s still going strong at Norcross Gallery and Studios! Their annual fundraiser, “Norcross Shapes,” runs through Nov. 2 at 2 p.m., and it’s a must-see (and bid) event. This month-long auction, which kicked off Oct. 5, supports everything from artist programs and community outreach to high school exhibitions and ongoing classes. The best part? You can either outbid the competition or pay the “full price” to snag your favorite piece on the spot. The artwork is as diverse as it gets—paintings, pottery, jewelry, even gift baskets. And the stories behind the pieces? Just as colorful. This year’s auction has no size limits, so expect everything from tiny treasures to statement pieces. Swing by the gallery at 116 Carlyle Street in downtown Norcross, open Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Don’t miss it! STORY 7: Gladiators Legend: ECHL Hall of Famer Cam Brown Dies at 56 When the Gwinnett Gladiators needed a leader back in 2003, they found one in Cam Brown. Fresh out of retirement, the Canadian left winger joined the brand-new Duluth-based team, bringing grit, heart, and a lifetime of hockey experience. Over three seasons, he became the face of the franchise, leading them to a Kelly Cup Final and scoring the first goal in team history. On Sunday, fans and friends were devastated to learn Brown had passed away at just 56, reportedly in a motorcycle accident. Brown’s No. 44 jersey hangs in the rafters, a permanent reminder of his impact. He’s the only Gladiator in the ECHL Hall of Fame, a league he helped shape with 789 games, 206 goals, and 2,425 penalty minutes. Old school? Absolutely. But that’s what made him special. Brown leaves behind his wife, two children, and a legacy that stretches far beyond the rink.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 25th Publish Date: October 25th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. 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.

Top Stories for September 30th Publish Date: September 30th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September 30th and Happy Birthday to Fran Drescher I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia New Norcross development provides affordable housing for those 55 and up in Gwinnett Duluth’s Railway Museum plans two fall events Park Ridge BTR Townhomes Now Open for Leasing in Sugar Hill 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: Kia MOG STORY 1: New Norcross development provides affordable housing for those 55 and up in Gwinnett “As long as I can.” That’s how long Sharon Bryant, a retiree still working part-time, plans to stay in her new apartment at Sage 5430. The complex, which just opened near Beaver Ruin Road and Buford Highway, is a rare find: affordable, spacious, and brand new. Sage 5430 is the result of a four-year public-private effort to address Gwinnett’s growing need for affordable housing. The 70-unit complex serves seniors, homeless youth, and those aging out of foster care, with rents ranging from $1,062 to $1,655—well below market rates. Residents making 50–70% of the area’s median income can also qualify for subsidies. The need is urgent. Gwinnett’s population of seniors has exploded by 55% in the last decade, and more than half of senior renters are considered “cost-burdened,” spending over 30% of their income on housing. But getting here wasn’t easy. John Maddox, VP of development at Blue Ridge Atlantic, described the process as “playing Whack-a-Mole.” Construction costs spiked, interest rates climbed, and funding gaps kept appearing. Eventually, with help from Gwinnett County, the Norcross Housing Authority, and Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs, the project came together. And for Gwinnett, it’s a step forward in tackling a housing crisis that’s pricing out even middle-income families. STORY 2: Duluth’s Railway Museum plans two fall events The Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth is gearing up for two big fall events, and train lovers of all ages are invited to join the fun. First up: “Train, Trunk or Treat” on Saturday, Oct. 18, starting at 10 a.m. It’s not just trick-or-treating anymore—it’s a full-on fall festival with a classic car show, train rides, a costume contest, live music, and even a scavenger hunt. Families and car owners are encouraged to dress up, and local businesses will be handing out candy from decorated trunks. Then, from Nov. 15 to Jan. 4, the museum’s annual Festival of Trees returns. Santa himself will arrive by train on Nov. 15, with more holiday magic possibly planned for December. The museum, located at 3595 Buford Highway, is also looking for local businesses to sponsor trees or host tables at these events. Interested? Visit train-museum.com or email info@train-museum.com. STORY 3: Park Ridge BTR Townhomes Now Open for Leasing in Sugar Hill Parkland Residential just opened its newest build-to-rent community, Park Ridge, in Sugar Hill—and leasing is officially underway. Curious? You can tour the model homes now and even snag some Grand Opening perks. When complete, Park Ridge will feature 140 rear-entry stacked townhomes. The first 72 are already in progress, with two floor plans to choose from: The Dogwood: 3 beds, 2.5 baths, loft, ~1,950 sq. ft. The Laurel: 2 beds, 2.5 baths, ~1,600 sq. ft.

Here’s what happened: On Sept. 5, Sherlock met with someone to buy a car. He handed over a check—but it turned out to be fake. By the time the bank flagged it as altered, the funds were gone, leaving the seller with a big loss. Sherlock is described as a Black man, about 5’9” and 155 pounds.

STORY 5: EXPLORING GWINNETT'S HISTORY: Elisha Winn Fair set for Oct. 4-5 The Elisha Winn Fair is back Oct. 4-5, celebrating one of Gwinnett County’s founders and the home where it all began. Elisha Winn built his house in 1811—seven years before Gwinnett even existed. By 1818, it became the county’s first courthouse, hosting elections, court sessions, and government meetings. Winn himself was sworn in as a judge right in his own parlor. Imagine that. But life wasn’t all smooth. Winn lost the home in a messy legal battle over land rights and spent his later years fighting for it. The house changed hands until the Gwinnett Historical Society restored it in 1978. Now, the fair—46 years strong—celebrates this history with the community. Don’t miss it! STORY 6: Police: Daughter charged in murder of 62-year-old woman A 33-year-old woman has been charged with murder after police say she fatally stabbed her 62-year-old mother at their home near the Gwinnett-DeKalb County line. Brittany Morris is accused of killing her mother, Janet Morris, on Thursday afternoon. Officers were called to their home on Deshong Drive around 4:30 p.m. and found Janet’s body—she’d died from apparent stab wounds. Police haven’t said what led to the attack, but Brittany was arrested later that day in another part of Gwinnett. Anyone with information can contact detectives or Crime Stoppers anonymously. STORY 7: BRACK: Lawrenceville's Loving Aid Society working to help in the future A Lawrenceville institution with roots stretching back to 1888 is closing its doors, but its legacy? That’s not going anywhere. The Loving Aid Society, founded by Laura Freeman Gholston and Bob Craig, was created to support Gwinnett’s Black community during a time when money was scarce for everyone. Members paid small monthly dues—just ten cents back then—to cover funeral costs and help the sick. Over the years, it became a cornerstone of self-reliance, hosting annual “Turn Out” gatherings filled with songs, prayers, and shared recipes. Their two-story building on Neal Boulevard once housed a funeral home, a church, and even a daycare. But now, with only three members left—Ruth Summerour, 90, and Glenda and Moses Abney, 74 and 78—the Society has sold its property to the City of Lawrenceville for $497,000. The remaining members are determined to use those funds to keep helping others, ensuring the spirit of the Loving Aid Society lives on. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Emily Dickinson (18301886) är berömd för sitt instängda liv och sin vidöppna poesi. Ulf Karl Olov Nilsson tolkar mångtydigheten i hennes slutord. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Det är maj månad 1886 och amerikanska poeten Emily Dickinson ligger på sitt yttersta. Hon har just skrivit sitt livs allra sista brev. Det består av några ynka ord och skickas med postgången till hennes kusiner, systrarna Norcross. Brevet lyder i sin helhet: ”Dear Cousins, Called back, Emily”.Called back, hur översätter man det? ”Kallad tillbaka” kanske, även om det saknar all poetisk finess. Samma två ord är för övrigt inristade på poetens enkla gravsten. Kallad tillbaka till vad? Och från vad? Kände hon sig i ett vitalt ögonblick kallad tillbaka till jordelivet efter att ha närmat sig eftervärlden? Eller ville hon meddela kallelsen tillbaka till oändligheten, det tillstånd som finns innan livet? Till och med i sina sista stunder hade poeten öga för det flertydiga.Men orden Called back har också en populärkulturell förlaga. Det är titeln på en bästsäljande romantisk deckare skriven 1883 av pseudonymen Hugh Conway. Den handlar om en blind man som blir vittne till ett mord och sedan gifter sig med en kvinna som lider minnesförlust. Båda blir called back i bemärkelsen att mannen återfår synen och kvinnan sitt minne. Dessutom löser de i god Sherlock Holmes-anda mordmysteriet. Dickinson läste boken och var, som hon skriver i ett brev, ”mycket imponerad” av denna ”gripande |haunting] berättelse”.Emily Dickinson föddes 1830 i Amherst, Massachusets, och dog på samma plats. Under sitt liv publicerade hon endast nio korta dikter, de flesta mot sin vilja. Efter hennes död hittade systern Lavinia fyrtio häften med Dickinsons poesi i en kista, okänd för omvärlden. Först fyra år efter hennes död publicerades ett första urval av de sammanlagt 1789 dikterna från hennes penna.Dickinson kom från en välbärgad familj med en socialt och politiskt betydelsefull plats i det lilla puritanska samhället. Hon läste exceptionellt mycket: naturvetenskap, King James Bibel, Shakespeare, dagstidningar och samtida skönlitteratur – favoriter var Elizabeth Barrett Browning, systrarna Brontë, George Eliot och Wilkie Collins roman The Woman in White – till en av många myter om den tillbakadragna och excentriska Dickinson hör att hon alltid gick klädd i vitt. Emily Dickinson kom att leva som ogift i sitt fäderneshem, men när hon var i 20-års åldern blev hon djupt fäst vid, och sannolikt förälskad i, sin väninna Susan Gilbert, som emellertid gifte sig med Austin Dickinson, poetens egen bror.Med tiden kom hon att isolera sig alltmer, hon stannade på sitt rum för att läsa och skriva och gick endast ut på nätterna för att vattna blommor i trädgården. Samtidigt upprätthöll hon en omfattande korrespondens – förunderligt vackra och förtätade brev – med vänner och litterärt betydelsefulla personer i trakten, tidskriftsredaktörer, präster, politiker, författare.Emily Dickinson levde ytterligare en vecka efter sitt allra sista brev. Hennes syster satt troget med henne vid dödsbädden. Brodern kom och gick. Hennes läkare Dr Bigelow gav henne den förmodligen felaktiga diagnosen Brights disease, en diffus njursjukdom. Sannolikt dog Dickinson av högt blodtryck vilket bland annat ledde till stroke. Enligt hennes brorsdotter Martha Dickinson Bianchi blev hennes sista ord: ”I must go in; the fog is rising”. ”Jag måste gå in; dimman stiger, dimman väller in.”Dessa slutord är vid närmare betraktelse nästan ordagrant hämtade ur ett brev som Dickinson skrev till samma kusiner, systrarna Norcross, två år tidigare. Där berättar hon om hur hon svimmat för första gången i sitt liv. Hon skriver: ”För åtta lördagkvällar sedan bakade jag en kaka med Maggie när ett stort mörker kom över mig. När jag vaknade stod Lavinia och Austin och en underlig läkare böjda över mig och jag antog att jag höll på att dö, eller att jag redan var död. Alla var snälla och vördnadsfulla och doktorn sa att sjukdomen var 'nervernas hämnd'.”Men sedan byter Dickinson helt utan förklaring spår i brevet och skriver: ”Den lille pojken vi la i jorden viker aldrig från min sida, hans dunkla sällskap är med mig, ännu. Men daggen kommer och jag måste gå in. Minnets dimma väller in.” Här kan vi alltså höra hennes slutord. ”I must go in. Memory's fog is rising.” Och omständigheterna är inte oviktiga.Den lille pojke som omtalas i brevet hette Gilbert och var son till brodern Austin och den älskade Susan Gilbert Dickinson. Dickinson själv var på intet sätt känd för att ha varit speciellt intresserad av barn, inte ens sina syskonbarn, men just lille Gilbert kom hon att älska djupt. Men det ohyggliga inträffar, gossen insjuknar åtta år gammal, i tyfoidfeber och natten han dör lyckas den hembundne Emily med en enorm kraftansträngning ta sig till huset där Susan och Austin bor. Trots att de är grannar har hon inte varit där på femton år! På natten drabbas hon av ohygglig huvudvärk och kräks. Efter pojkens död blir hon sängliggande i två månader och får diagnosen ”nervös utmattning”. Hon är förkrossad, hennes hälsa återhämtar sig aldrig.Varför kom den lille gossen att betyda så mycket för henne? Och hur kunde hans död så till den grad bryta ned hennes livskraft? Den lika freudianske som amerikanske psykiatern John Cody föreslår i en psykobiografi från 1971, After great pain, the inner life of Emily Dickinson, att det hade med poetens egen mor att göra: Gilbert föddes i samband med att modern fick en förlamande hjärnblödning och moderns hjälplöshet och behov av omvårdnad, argumenterar Cody, gjorde att Dickinson själv för första gången kunde känna moderliga känslor. Själv vill jag snarare tro att det, förutom gossens omvittnat obestridliga charm, också hade med hans namn att göra, alltså Gilbert, som alltså var den älskade Susan Gilberts flicknamn.I de sista orden ”I must go in; the fog is rising”, som jag tolkar det, ligger alltså en hälsning fylld av kärlekssorg till pojken och hans mor. I sin tillgivenhet till gossen fick Dickinson utrymme för en ren, och denna gång enklare, kärlek till den adressat som hon skrivit så många förtätade brev, och skickat så många dikter. Ja, till Susan Gilbert skickade hon fler dikter än till någon annan, 276 stycken. Och i ett brev från 1875 fick Gilbert den kanske största kärlekshyllning som överhuvudtaget går att tänka sig, åtminstone om man är poet på allvar: ”Med undantag av Shakespeare, har du skänkt mig mer kunskap än någon levande varelse”.Ulf Karl Olov Nilssonförfattare, psykoanalytiker och översättare av bland annat Emily Dickinsons poesi

Tucked inside the first floor of the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse in Lawrenceville, the Gwinnett County Veterans Memorial Museum (GCVMM) is a hidden gem. It’s free, volunteer-run, and packed with over 4,000 artifacts honoring those who’ve served since 1776. The museum’s story is as rich as its collection. It started in 1989 as a small military display, born from a mission to preserve the courthouse and the graves of eight soldiers from the Creek Indian War. After years of effort, it officially opened on Veterans Day 2005. Now, 20 years later, GCVMM is celebrating its anniversary on Nov. 11 from 3–6 p.m. at the Historic Courthouse. Expect patriotic demos, speakers, and tours. It’s free, it’s meaningful, and it’s a chance to honor history. See you there!

Build bridges with Iggy, fly Rosie’s Cheese Copter, or dream big in Ada’s thinking chair. It’s all about curiosity, creativity, and, yes, a little failure along the way. Running through Jan. 4, 2026, this bilingual exhibit (English and Spanish) is packed with STEM, art, and civic lessons—plus a whole lot of fun. Find it at 275 Centennial Olympic Park Dr. NW. More info? Head to childrensmuseumatlanta.org. STORY 6: 4-H Farm Friends — A Gwinnett County Fair tradition for more than 3 decades Logan, a sixth-grader with a heart for animals, has always been drawn to anything with fur, feathers, or scales. At his first 4-H event, he spent the day doting on baby ducklings, goats, and sheep—each lovingly named, of course. This year, 4-H Farm Friends is back at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds, running through Sept. 21. For just $1, visitors can cuddle baby chicks, meet cows like Moolan and Ellie May (who turns five on Monday!), and even hang out with goats—new this year. For Logan and his mom, Misty, 4-H is more than animals—it’s community. Pam Bloch, a 4-H leader for 17 years, says the program is about more than cute animals. “We’re teaching kids where their food, clothes, and milk come from,” she said. “It’s hands-on learning they don’t always get in urban areas.” And for Logan? It’s pure joy. STORY 7: Police arrest suspect in North Gwinnett Co-Op burglary A Clarkston man, already serving time in a work-release program for burglary convictions, is now facing fresh charges tied to last month’s break-in at the North Gwinnett Co-Op’s Second Blessings Thrift Store in Buford. Lavan Hickman, 38, was charged with burglary and second-degree criminal damage to property after investigators determined he left the Gwinnett County Correctional Institute on work release before committing the Aug. 19 crime. Surveillance footage showed someone smashing a window with a rock to enter the store, causing over $10,000 in damages. Stolen items included a cash box, money bags, and a Sony camera. Kim Phillips, the co-op’s executive director, expressed heartbreak but also compassion. We’ll have closing comments after this.

"It's just not cricket" is a British English idiom meaning something is unfair, dishonest, or goes against the rules of decency or moralitySo what makes cricket the benchmark of decency? To find out our guest this week is Daniel Norcross one of the most recognisable voices on Test Match Special - the BBC's flagship cricket programme. Perhaps not surprisingly this is the longest interview we've done - it turns out a man who is trained to speak endlessly often during a break for rain can, well, speak endlessly. Don't worry though - our human editing team have trimmed it down to the usual Trash Talk length - so if you want to hear Dan's comparison of the cricket off-season to World War 2... you'll have to listen to Test Match Special. Dan really is a legend - and if you don't like cricket this episode is worth listening to for his sheer passion alone. Enjoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The fire broke out at The Oxford apartments on Club Lakes Parkway in unincorporated Lawrenceville around 8:53 a.m. Calls flooded 911—flames were visible from a top-floor unit, and some feared residents were trapped. Crews arrived to chaos. During a search, the roof gave way, briefly trapping firefighters on a second-story balcony. They were rescued by ladder, and over 20 residents were evacuated safely. The fire started on a balcony, investigators say. Cause? Still unknown. STORY 3: Couple convicted for 2021 shooting at Lawrenceville home Nearly four years ago, a messy breakup turned violent in Lawrenceville, leaving two people lucky to be alive. Elijah Malik Hyams and Kyla Aolani Milling, both 32, showed up at Hyams’ ex-girlfriend’s house on Sept. 7, 2021, looking for trouble—and they found it. Shots were fired into a car parked in the driveway, where the ex’s brother and his girlfriend sat. A bullet shattered the rear window, hit the brother’s phone, and cracked the windshield. Miraculously, no one was hurt. Last week, a jury convicted Hyams and Milling on multiple charges. Both got 15 years in prison.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 9 STORY 4: Duluth names police headquarters in honor of longtime former chief Nearly 50 years ago, Randy Belcher’s first day as a Duluth cop wasn’t exactly what you’d call glamorous. No chasing bad guys or solving crimes. Nope—he was shooting rats. Actual rats. The police chief at the time took him to a garbage pile off a dirt road (now Rodgers Bridge Road) and handed him a gun. “We’re shooting rats,” the chief said. Belcher, stunned, asked, “Sir? We’re doing what?” And that’s how it all began. Fast forward decades, and Belcher’s name now graces Duluth’s police headquarters. From rats to a legacy—what a journey. STORY 5: Gwinnett commissioners leave government millage rate unchanged  Gwinnett homeowners won’t see a change in their county tax rate this fall—14.71 mills, same as it’s been for six years now. Commissioners voted 4-1 to keep it steady, with Commissioner Kirkland Carden casting the lone “no.” For homeowners with a value offset exemption, county taxes stay frozen at the level they were when the exemption was granted—no matter how much home values skyrocket. School taxes, though? That’s a different story. They’ve climbed significantly. We’ll be right back.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 7th Publish Date: August 7th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, August 7th and Happy birthday to Wayne Knight I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett commissioners narrowly OK grant funds for maternal health clinic A former Gwinnett student got into McConnell Middle School while carrying a knife Gwinnett Technical College police department achieves full state certification Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on peaches 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: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett commissioners narrowly OK grant funds for maternal health clinic Gwinnett County commissioners were split this week, narrowly approving a $450,000 grant for Georgia Wellness Group, a Lawrenceville maternal health clinic that’s sparked heated debate. Critics, mostly Democrats, have accused the clinic of being “anti-abortion” and linked it to Obria, a controversial organization. The 3-2 vote came after hours of back-and-forth. Commissioners Ben Ku and Kirkland Carden wanted the clinic removed from the funding plan, but others, like Jasper Watkins, pushed back hard. “This is not a fake clinic,” Watkins said. “They’re licensed, accredited, and provide critical care to hundreds of women.” Georgia Wellness insists it’s no longer tied to Obria and focuses on affordable prenatal care, STI testing, and maternal mental health. Still, tensions ran high, with local Democrats calling the clinic manipulative and unregulated. STORY 2: A former Gwinnett student got into McConnell Middle School while carrying a knife Two days into the school year, and Gwinnett County Public Schools is already dealing with a scary situation—a former student sneaking into McConnell Middle School with a knife. Principal Derico White told parents in a letter that the individual slipped in through a side door early Tuesday morning, before classes started. Thankfully, no students were inside yet. “Our staff acted quickly,” White wrote. “The person was escorted to the front office and taken into custody by police, who found a knife during a search. No threats were made, and no one was harmed.” This incident comes as GCPS is rolling out $19.3 million worth of weapons detection systems across its schools—a process that’s still underway. It’s unclear if McConnell had any devices installed yet. STORY 3: Gwinnett Technical College police department achieves full state certification Gwinnett Technical College’s police department just hit a major milestone: full state certification from the Georgia Law Enforcement Certification Program. It’s a big deal—kind of like the gold medal of public safety in Georgia. Getting there wasn’t easy. The department had to prove it meets over 100 professional standards, from ethical conduct to community engagement. “This is a testament to our police force’s dedication,” said Gwinnett Tech President Dr. Glen Cannon. “They’ve set the bar high for campus safety.” The certification process dug deep into policies, procedures, and day-to-day operations, ensuring the department is ready to handle the unique challenges of a college campus. This recognition isn’t just about a badge of honor—it’s about creating a safe, supportive space for students, staff, and faculty. Gwinnett Tech’s commitment to safety and integrity shines through, and now they’re part of an elite group of law enforcement agencies across Georgia. 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 3 STORY 4: Another Gwinnett family is mourning loved one whose body was found on Bell Mountain Months after 19-year-old twins Qaadir and Naazir Lewis were found dead on Bell Mountain, another tragedy has struck the same spot. On July 19, Towns County deputies discovered the body of 38-year-old Norcross resident Phat Tan Bui inside his car in the mountain’s parking lot. His family had reported him missing just a day earlier, according to the GBI. Bui’s obituary describes him as someone with a “bright smile, adventurous spirit, and generous heart.” He loved skating and videography. His funeral was held over the weekend. The GBI says no foul play is suspected in either case, though Bui’s death is still under investigation. The Lewis twins’ deaths were ruled suicides, but their family and the NAACP have strongly disputed that, alleging foul play and even a cover-up. Bui’s family, however, is urging patience. “We’re still processing and waiting for answers,” his sister, wrote on Facebook. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Towns County Sheriff’s Office or the GBI. Tips can also be submitted anonymously online or through the “See Something, Send Something” app. STORY 5: Cirque du Soleil’s 'OVO' coming to Gas South Arena this weekend Lydia Harper’s journey to becoming artistic director for Cirque du Soleil wasn’t exactly slow—more like a whirlwind. “It was fast,” she laughed. “Big learning curve, but hey, I’m an acrobat. Climbing’s kind of my thing.” Now based in London, Harper will be in Duluth with Cirque’s “OVO” from Aug. 7–10 at Gas South Arena. The show, a vibrant, bug-themed spectacle, has dazzled 7 million people worldwide since its 2009 debut. Harper’s path started onstage—Chinese Pole, Double Cloud, Rope—you name it. She joined Cirque in 2015 as an acrobat for “TORUK,” then climbed the ranks: captain, coach, assistant director, and finally, artistic director two years ago. Her job? Everything on stage. Casting, choreography, rehearsals, even approving new elements. “We’ve got 53 artists from all over the world—it’s like running a tiny, chaotic ecosystem,” she said. Performing was her first love, but these days, she’s all about helping others shine. Touring isn’t easy—living out of a suitcase, missing family—but Harper finds magic in the chaos. Catch “OVO” in Duluth for five shows. Details at cirquedusoleil.com/ovo.

Concerns include gaps in the investigation, such as uncollected security footage and unanswered questions about the circumstances of their deaths. The family and NAACP cite historical distrust between the Black community and law enforcement, drawing parallels to past cases like Ahmaud Arbery. They are urging Governor Kemp to order a transparent, independent review to uncover the full truth. STORY 2: Duluth area lands new office for nations top mortgage lender CrossCountry Mortgage, named the nation’s top retail mortgage lender by Scotsman Guide and Mortgage Executive Magazine, has opened a new office in Duluth at 2675 Breckinridge Boulevard. The office will offer a full range of mortgage services, including support for first-time homebuyers, refinancing, and home equity solutions. Local officials praised the move as a testament to Gwinnett County’s thriving housing market and business-friendly environment. CrossCountry aims to deepen community support and help families achieve homeownership, further solidifying Gwinnett as a hub for financial services and economic growth. STORY 3: Police looking for man who shot at a car at Norcross gas station Gwinnett County police are seeking help identifying a man who fired shots at a car on April 10 at a Shell gas station on Singleton Road in Norcross. The suspect, described as a light-skinned Black male wearing a pink hoodie, white shorts, and carrying a gray book bag, fired multiple shots after an interaction with occupants of a blue Hyundai Elantra.

Stephanie Potra, once a homeless teenager, reflects on her challenging experience with Family Promise during the 2006 housing crisis. After her family lost their home, they entered the program, moving weekly between church shelters. Potra, angry and ashamed, struggled with depression, rebellion, and trouble at school, despite maintaining strong grades. Her family eventually regained stability, buying a home through the program’s support. Years later, Potra’s perspective shifted, recognizing Family Promise’s role in helping families rebuild. The nonprofit, founded in the 1980s, continues to provide shelter, financial training, and community support to families facing homelessness.

The project faces strong opposition from environmental advocates and local governments, citing potential harm to the swamp's ecosystem, while supporters argue it could create jobs in a high-poverty area. TPM is also embroiled in lawsuits, including one alleging insolvency and fraud. Critics, like environmental lawyer Josh Marks, urge the EPD to deny the permit, citing the company's alleged misconduct and financial instability. STORY 5: Gwinnett Police Arrest 2 Suspects Tied To Armed Robberies In Norcross Gwinnett County Police arrested Jairo Martinez-Villafranca, 37, and Belki Reyes-Cordova, 28, for a series of armed robberies at Norcross grocery stores in May. The pair allegedly robbed El Amigo and La Escondida grocery stores on May 13, demanding cash at gunpoint, with one incident involving a clerk caring for a baby. A third robbery occurred in DeKalb County two days later. Using FLOCK cameras, police tracked the suspects' vehicle, leading to their arrests.

Qcells, with a strong presence in Georgia since 2019, continues to expand its role in the circular economy, reinforcing solar energy as a renewable and responsible power source. STORY 7: Georgia GOP delegates go home, keeping their chairman despite grievances ahead of a big election year The Georgia GOP state convention in Dalton re-elected Josh McKoon as chairman amid internal tensions and ideological debates. Delegates passed a resolution to bar Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from running as a Republican, though it’s likely unenforceable. Discussions centered on upcoming elections, with potential candidates for governor and U.S. Senate, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and others, hinting at future runs. The convention emphasized loyalty to Trump, opposition to transgender policies, and eliminating state income tax. Controversy arose over electronic voting, but McKoon secured a decisive victory, dismissing the disputes as part of the process.
