GDP Script/ Top Stories for June 19th Publish Date: June 19th From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, June 19th and Happy heavenly Birthday to MLB HOF Lou Gehrig ***06.19.24 – BIRTHDAY – LOU GEHRIG*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Georgia Gwinnett College's Juneteenth Celebration Focuses on Fellowship and Family Recount Likely in Close Race for One Gwinnett School Board Seat Gwinnett Wants to Leave Millage Rate Unchanged but Your Property Tax Bill Could Still Go Up Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on brown eggs. 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 College's Juneteenth Celebration Focuses On Fellowship, Family Georgia Gwinnett College celebrated its second annual Juneteenth with a focus on unity and community. Coordinated by Ryan Smith from Student Life, this year's event aimed for a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the previous year's structured program. Attendees, including student Jasmine Primo and her family, valued the opportunity to reflect on Juneteenth's significance in African American history and culture. For Primo, a psychology major, the event provided a chance to honor ancestors and deepen her understanding of the holiday's importance. Her grandfather, Patrick Grant, emphasized the importance of Juneteenth in connecting younger generations with their heritage and fostering pride in their identity. STORY 2: Recount Likely in Close For One Gwinnett School Board Seat In Gwinnett County, the school board election runoff for District 1 saw Rachel Stone narrowly defeating incumbent Karen Watkins by 16 votes, with Stone receiving 50.23% of the votes compared to Watkins' 49.77%. Watkins has the option to request a recount, as the margin falls within Georgia's half a percent threshold for such requests. Meanwhile, in District 3, Steve Gasper secured victory with 60.81% of the vote over Shana V. White. These elections are nonpartisan, and the winners, including Tarece Johnson-Morgan from a previous election, will start their terms on January 1, 2025, facing decisions such as whether to retain Superintendent Calvin Watts, whose contract expires in mid-2025. STORY 3: Gwinnett Wants to Leave Milage Rate Unchanged Gwinnett County commissioners are proposing to maintain the general fund millage rate at 6.95 mills, unchanged from last year. This decision, if approved after public hearings, could lead to higher property tax bills due to increased property values. While the rate itself remains stable, higher property assessments mean higher taxable values and potentially higher taxes owed. Homestead exemptions can mitigate increases, but property owners must ensure these are in place. The county's proposed rate is slightly above the rollback rate of 6.5 mills, which would maintain revenue neutrality. Public hearings on the proposed millage rate will be held, with online public comment accepted until July 15. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

She was selected as one of 40 interns for the 2024 Summer Internship Program, offered by the Foundation annually.

This program provides hands-on experience at top Hollywood studios, mentorships, and professional development seminars. Stephenson aims to become an executive producer, inspired by television's ability to provoke dialogue and change, influenced by figures like Shonda Rhimes and Issa Rae. The Television Academy Foundation aims to nurture future television professionals through education and industry engagement. STORY 5: Tuwanda Rush Williams Wins Vacant Gwinnett Superior Court Seat Tuwanda Rush Williams secured victory in the runoff for Gwinnett County Superior Court, defeating Magistrate Judge Regina Matthews with 53.1% of the vote. Williams, a former county attorney, will replace retiring Judge Karen Beyers in January, joining Magistrate Judge Kimberly Gallant as the new Superior Court judges. Gallant previously won against Juvenile Court Judge Rodney Harris. These were the only contested Superior Court races in Gwinnett this year, alongside State Court Judge Shawn Bratton's re-election. As nonpartisan elections, no further voting is required this year for these judicial seats.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for May 22nd Publish Date: May 22nd From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, May 22nd, and Happy 80th Birthday to pitcher Tommy John. ***05.22.24 – BIRTHDAY – TOMMY JOHN*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. FBI Arrests Man Accused of Robbing Armored Truck in Snellville Two Gwinnett school board races head to runoffs Northeast Gwinnett Voters Approve Mulberry Cityhood Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on vitamin C. 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: FBI Arrests Man Accused of Robbing Armored Truck in Snellville Demarco Johnson, accused of robbing two armored trucks in Tucker and Snellville last spring, has been apprehended by the FBI in Atlanta after evading capture for over a year. The FBI issued a warrant for Johnson's arrest in August 2023, noting his ties to the Stone Mountain and Norcross areas. A reward of $10,000 from the FBI and an additional $5,000 from Loomis was offered for information leading to his capture. Johnson faces charges including Conspiracy to Commit Hobbs Act Robbery, Hobbs Act Robbery, and Possession of a Firearm During a Crime of Violence. STORY 2: Two Gwinnett school board races head to runoffs In Gwinnett's recent school board elections, incumbent Tarece Johnson-Morgan secured her position for another term. However, runoff elections will determine the winners for the other two contested seats. In District 1, vice-chairwoman Karen Watkins will face Rachel Stone after neither reached the 50% threshold. Watkins received 41.81% of the vote, Stone garnered 30.57%, and Leroy Ranel Jr. secured 27.62%. Similarly, the District 3 race will proceed to a runoff between Steve Gasper, who led with 36.11%, and Shana V. White, who received 21.33%. Other candidates, including Domonique Cooper, Yanin Cortes, and Anthony Mulkey, trailed behind. STORY 3: Northeast Gwinnett Voters Approve Mulberry Cityhood In northeast Gwinnett County, voters approved the creation of the city of Mulberry, making it the county's 17th city. The referendum passed with 56.96% in favor and 43.04% against. Mulberry, spanning 25.9 square miles, is projected to have an initial population of around 41,000, making it the county's second-largest city. Despite legal challenges questioning its formation, including concerns about taxation and services, the referendum proceeded. Mulberry was proposed in response to a development plan, and its establishment means it will provide planning, zoning, code enforcement, and stormwater management without property taxation. City council elections are scheduled for November. 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: Study warns nightmares may be early sign of potentially deadly diseases A recent study suggests that nightmares and hallucinations, termed ‘daymares,' could be early indicators of autoimmune diseases such as lupus. Researchers found that disrupted dream sleep and hallucinations often preceded lupus flare-ups. In interviews with patients and clinicians, vivid nightmares involving attacks or falling were reported as distressing. Many patients experienced reluctance to share their hallucinations, which were sometimes mistaken for psychiatric issues. Recognizing these symptoms as potential indicators of disease activity could lead to earlier intervention and improved patient care. The study underscores the importance of discussing mental health and neurological symptoms in autoimmune diseases like lupus. STORY 5: Over 80% of parents say spring hardest time to keep things clean A recent survey commissioned by Trane Residential reveals that one in five parents would sacrifice their yearly vacation to avoid spring cleaning, highlighting the challenges of keeping homes clean during the season. With 83% agreeing that spring is the most challenging time to maintain cleanliness, many parents find themselves sacrificing quality time with their children to clean. Moreover, 43% of children have expressed a desire for more time together while parents are occupied with cleaning tasks. The study emphasizes the impact of spring cleaning on the parent-child relationship and explores how it affects families with allergies and asthma. Notably, 94% of respondents reported experiencing allergies and/or asthma, prompting them to adopt practices to reduce allergens in their homes, such as frequent vacuuming and dusting. Additionally, the survey found that automatic repurchasing for cleaning supplies and HVAC filters can help parents manage household tasks more efficiently.
