YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHno0gsX_YA Maylan Newton's family has set aside July 26, 2025, for a special gathering to honor his life and legacy. The event will take place in Southern California, with more details to come. You can find updates and information here. I'd like to take a few moments to reflect on Maylan's impact, both on our industry and on me personally. Whether in a classroom, on a phone call, or standing in front of an audience, Maylan had a way of speaking that was steady, articulate, and always meaningful. His words inspired action, and his delivery made people listen. He was what I like to call an “unselfish” volunteer—selfless in every way, but so dedicated, like helping others was his only priority. He generously donated his time, especially to SkillsUSA, and never hesitated to jump in when needed. If someone called, Maylan would drop everything to lend a hand, whether that meant covering a counter in a shop or stepping in last minute at a conference. Over the past decade, we recorded countless podcast episodes together. He shared solo insights, joined panels, and we had many heart-to-heart conversations that reached thousands. His wisdom, energy, and authenticity were unmatched. Maylan was also the first to nudge me to attend shows, speak on panels, and use my podcast platform to support the industry. He believed in building others up. It didn't matter who got the credit; what mattered to Maylan was the impact. He was a champion for everyone in the industry, especially for women. He supported the Amazing Women in Automotive group with enthusiasm, and you could always count on him to drop by their event dinners just to say hello and show his support. We're going to miss Maylan deeply. But I believe the true depth of that loss will only grow with time, when we find ourselves in need of guidance and asking, “What would Maylan have said?” Rest peacefully, my friend.

The scammer demands money, typically in the form of gift cards, to resolve fictitious warrants or legal issues. The police emphasize that they never solicit payments over the phone for warrants, citations, or any violations. They also caution residents about spoofing, where scammers manipulate caller ID to appear as if calling from the Lawrenceville Police Department. Residents are urged to verify suspicious calls by contacting the police directly at 770-962-4173 and to inform friends and family, especially the elderly, about this scam. STORY 2:  Four Lake Lanier Boaters Hospitalized After Fourth of July Incidents On July Fourth, Lake Lanier saw two boating incidents, the only ones reported statewide in Georgia. The first occurred at Buford Dam Park when two rented personal watercraft collided, resulting in injuries to three individuals who were hospitalized with lacerations, abrasions, and fractures. The operator deemed at fault fled the scene and remains at large. The second incident occurred at Burton Mill Park, involving a person jumping into shallow water from a vessel, resulting in a fractured rib and hospitalization.

Marshall's future projects include books featuring her other children, such as "Malcolm the Astronaut" and "Shylah Plays the Trombone", each tailored to their unique interests.

This podcast episode focuses on the critical shortage of HVACR technicians and installers across the industry. The hosts discuss the massive gap that exists, with estimates of nearly 200,000 open roles expected in the next few years. They are joined by Lenny Diaddario from Copeland's contractor services department and Chris Harris from the educational nonprofit National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3). Lenny and Chris explain the various initiatives Copeland and NC3 have undertaken to help attract more people to the HVACR trades. This includes STEM education outreach to get kids interested from an early age, partnerships with organizations like SkillsUSA and PHCC, virtual reality training tools that allow interactive compressor teardowns, and comprehensive certification curricula developed in collaboration with subject matter experts and instructors. One major program they highlight is the "train the trainer" events where instructors from trade schools can get certified on the Copeland curriculum over an intensive week. They then take that knowledge back to their schools to teach and certify students as Copeland technicians. The goal is to build a strong foundational workforce of certified HVACR professionals. Topics covered include: The severe shortage of HVACR technicians and the need to fill roles Changing the stigma around vocational education and trade schools Appeal of trades to younger generations for self-reliance Copeland's initiatives like STEM days, SkillsUSA, virtual reality trainers NC3's certification curricula and "train the trainer" instructor events Copeland's online/mobile training resources like apps and AI assistant In-person training courses offered ranging from 1 day to multi-day The long-term vision for socioeconomic impact through a skilled trades workforce   Browse some of Copeland's training opportunities at https://www.copeland.com/en-us/training-support/hvacr-training.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

GDP Script/ Top Stories for April 3rd     Publish Date:  April 3rd     From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, April 3rd, and Happy heavenly Birthday to actor Marlon Brando. ***04.03.24 – BIRTHDAY – MARLON BRANDO*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Tom Wages Funeral Home.

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: Lawrenceville Police say Hyundai and Kia thefts are up Lawrenceville police have issued a warning to owners of certain Hyundai and Kia models, urging increased vigilance due to a surge in thefts. The vulnerability, tied to an absent security feature in the ignition switch, affects vehicles manufactured between 2011 and 2021 that use traditional turnkey ignition systems instead of push-button starts. In response, Kia has supplied steering wheel locks to the police department for distribution to local residents. Vehicle owners from the specified years can obtain a lock by reaching out to Capt. Salvador Ortega via email. To further safeguard their vehicles, police suggest implementing additional security measures such as installing kill switches, battery disconnects, alarms, and GPS tracking devices, and ensuring cars are parked in well-lit, secure areas. STORY 2: Gwinnett County Public Schools Launches AI Policy Lab Gwinnett County Public Schools, in collaboration with the EdSAFE AI Alliance, has announced the creation of an AI Policy Lab. This initiative is dedicated to fostering the safe and ethical implementation of artificial intelligence within educational settings. The lab will provide comprehensive policy recommendations alongside educational materials aimed at teachers, students, and parents, emphasizing practical applications of AI. Dr. Calvin J. Watts, Superintendent of GCPS, highlighted the critical importance of instilling responsible AI practices among students to equip them adequately for future professional environments. This endeavor enhances GCPS's ongoing commitment to AI education, building on the foundation set by the AI-Future Ready pilot initiated in 2019. It also contributes to broader national discussions focused on establishing guidelines that ensure AI is used in ways that are safe, responsible, inclusive, and beneficial within the educational sphere. STORY 3: Lilburn gets federal funds for police, Camp Creek efforts Lilburn has successfully obtained federal funding amounting to $1.8 million through the 2024 Consolidated Appropriations Act, earmarked for two pivotal projects. The allocation will be divided equally between enhancing public safety and environmental preservation efforts. The first half of the funding supports the Tri-City Connect Program, a collaborative effort with Lawrenceville and Snellville. This initiative aims to bolster public safety by creating a video and data sharing platform. It encourages residents and businesses to voluntarily register their security cameras, facilitating quicker resolution of criminal activities by law enforcement agencies. The remaining funds are allocated to the stabilization of Camp Creek. This project is vital for maintaining the integrity of the 4.2-mile Camp Creek Greenway Trail, a cherished community asset for recreation and nature engagement. U.S. Representative Lucy McBath has been instrumental in securing these funds, demonstrating her dedication to advancing the welfare and safety of the community. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back.

The organization received the prestigious Governor's Circle Award at the state level and was further recognized with the President's Circle Recognition Award on a national scale. Executive Director Schelly Marlatt expressed profound appreciation for these honors and reiterated the organization's commitment to environmental stewardship. Among the highlighted initiatives were the Earth Day recycling event and the Great Gwinnett Wetlands Cleanup, both emblematic of the organization's efforts to uphold Gwinnett County as an exemplar of cleanliness, sustainability, and natural beauty.

The state and local authorities had previously offered Rivian incentives worth $1.5 billion, including tax credits and infrastructure improvements, to secure the deal.   So far, Rivian has made two payments amounting to $3 million to the local development authority. While the project is currently on hold, there are concerns among senators about the site remaining vacant until 2030.

Marietta Council Members Bicker Over 'Goldstein Gap' Former Councilman Philip Goldstein accused Councilman Johnny Walker and the Marietta City Council of unfair treatment over his fenced-off lot on the north end of Marietta Square, a dispute referred to as the "Goldstein Gap." Goldstein, a prominent property owner in downtown Marietta, argued that he was being singled out by Walker to improve the appearance of the fence surrounding his empty lot. Councilwoman Cheryl Richardson intervened, suggesting that the focus on Goldstein's property was unfair compared to other neglected properties in the city. Despite tensions, the exchange concluded with Andy Morris, chair of the Judicial/Legislative Committee, thanking Goldstein with a hint of humor.
