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.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 24th Publish Date:  October 24th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, October 24th and Happy Birthday to Kevin Kline I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Mableton candidates share plans to tackle homelessness amid rising concerns Turnout remains steady in Week 2 of early voting Brazilian steakhouse coming to Cumberland Mall Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sweet tooths All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles Markets 2 STORY 1: Mableton candidates share plans to tackle homelessness amid rising concerns  Homelessness is a growing issue in Cobb County, and Mableton, as the county’s newest city, isn’t immune. As of February, five homeless encampments were identified in the area. Local resources like Family Life Restoration Center and HOPE Family Resource Center are working to help, but the challenge is complex. In August, a former Wingate Hotel near Six Flags was converted into housing for homeless veterans, despite pushback from Mableton’s City Council. With two contested City Council races on the Nov. 4 ballot, candidates were asked how they’d address homelessness. District 2 Michael McNeely emphasized collaboration: “We need an asset map to identify resources and capacity, especially as the weather changes. I’ll work with elected officials, churches, and nonprofits like Family Life Restoration to create a sustainable plan.” Incumbent Dami Oladapo focused on partnerships and community action: “We can expand resources with groups like HOPE Family Resource Center and Family Life Restoration. But it’s not just about institutions—neighbors coming together to collect blankets or food makes a real impact. Long-term, we need attainable housing and neighborhood revitalization.” District 4 Patricia Auch acknowledged the complexity: “We direct people to nonprofits like MUST Ministries and Sweetwater Mission, but homelessness often involves mental health or substance abuse issues. It’s not just about finding a home—it’s about addressing deeper problems.” Cassandra Brown, meanwhile, stressed connection over criminalization: “We need to link unhoused residents to local nonprofits already doing the work, like Family Life Restoration and HOPE. MUST Ministries is great, but it’s too far—over two hours by bus. We need solutions closer to home.” Homelessness remains a tough, multifaceted issue, but candidates agree: it’ll take compassion, collaboration, and creativity to make progress. STORY 2: Turnout remains steady in Week 2 of early voting  Early voting in Cobb County is off to a slow but steady start, with just under 6% of eligible voters casting ballots so far. Monday and Tuesday saw the second- and third-highest turnout days, with 1,410 and 1,495 voters, respectively. Friday still holds the top spot with 1,728 votes. Some locations, like the Cobb Elections Main Office in Marietta, are seeing spikes—554 voters showed up Tuesday. East Cobb’s Government Service Center also had its busiest days, with 321 voters Monday and 329 Tuesday. Early voting runs through Oct. 31 at seven locations countywide, with hours varying by day. Election Day is Nov. 4. STORY 3: Brazilian steakhouse coming to Cumberland Mall  Fogo de Chão, the beloved Brazilian steakhouse known for its tableside meat service, is heading to Cumberland Mall, taking over part of the old Sears site. This week, the Cobb Board of Commissioners gave the green light for the mall’s site plan update, paving the way for an 8,670-square-foot restaurant between Dick’s Sporting Goods and Cobb Parkway. If you’re unfamiliar, Fogo de Chão is all about churrasco—Brazilian barbecue where meats are roasted over an open flame and carved right at your table. Guests use a green-and-red disc to signal servers: green means “keep it coming,” red means “I’m stuffed.” This will be Georgia’s third Fogo location, joining Buckhead and Dunwoody. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: Ingles Markets 2 STORY 4: Cobb School Board vice chair ordered to repay $225,000 in lawsuit settlement On Wednesday, a Fulton County judge ordered Cobb School Board Vice Chair John Cristadoro to pay $225,000 to Sagicor Life Insurance Company after allegations of misappropriated funds. According to court documents, Cristadoro’s marketing firm, Alliance Activation, received $250,000 from Sagicor to fund an advertising campaign. Of that, $225,000 was meant for a third-party vendor, Sunburst Entertainment, but the money never made it there. Instead, it was allegedly used to cover Alliance’s operating expenses—and even Cristadoro’s personal credit card bills. Judge Wesley Tailor ruled Cristadoro must pay $186,000 within three days, followed by $500 monthly payments until the full amount is settled. Cristadoro denied wrongdoing, calling the settlement a business negotiation and accusing critics of “manufacturing outrage.” However, parents and activists, including Heather Tolley-Bauer of Watching the Funds Cobb, pushed for transparency, opposing Cristadoro’s attempt to seal the settlement details. If Cristadoro defaults, the unpaid balance will accrue 10% interest until paid. STORY 5: OUT AND ABOUT: 5 things to do this weekend in Cobb County — Oct. 24 - 26 Cobb Fall Festival of Fun This Saturday, the Fall Festival of Fun is back at Jim R. Miller Park from 5 to 10 p.m. Expect hayrides, carnival games, a petting zoo, and yes, a haunted house ($5 entry). Parking and admission? Totally free.

With just two days until voters head to the polling station, Catherine Connolly continues to lead in the latest business post poll on 44 percent. The poll also revealed that undecided voters remain at twenty one percent. So, with many of the electorate still undecided and a low turnout expected, how will this affect the result on Saturday? All to discuss with Pat Leahy, Political Editor with The Irish Times.

October 18 2025; 9am: The “No Kings” protests are happening in all 50 states and Washington DC today, and organizers expect millions of people to turn out. The movement comes in response to President Trump's agenda, including his National Guard deployments, immigration enforcement, and redistricting efforts. Hunter Dunn, who is helping organize the Downtown Los Angeles demonstration, and former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh, who is speaking at a “No Kings” rally in Connecticut, join “The Weekend” to discuss.For more, follow us on social media:Bluesky: @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.socialInstagram: @theweekendmsnbcTikTok: @theweekendmsnbcTo listen to this show and other MSNBC podcasts without ads, sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts.

No Kings: Record Turnout — But Will It Matter? | Karel Cast 25-132 Thousands are hitting the streets again for the second “No Kings” Rally, and this time, the turnout could break records — over 2,500 events across America. But here's the real question: will it actually change anything? Karel dives into the heart of the movement — the hope, the energy, and the hard truth about what can and can't be done to stop authoritarian overreach. As Trump flexes more power and the U.S. military obeys increasingly questionable orders, it's time to ask: Where is the line — and who's brave enough to draw it? Plus: A deep look at America's growing global tension, including dangerous operations in Venezuelan waters, and what it means for democracy here at home. And before the weekend hits — a lighter side: what's new in entertainment and pop culture.

Participation in local elections is at a historic low and there's growing calls for reform. Turnout's been higher in rural areas and much lower in the main cities, but data shows under 40 percent of eligible voters made their voices heard. Finance Minister Nicola Willis says a simpler solution is needed, much like the general elections. "It might be simpler if it was just - turn up and vote. Turn up to the booth, turn up to the place just as you do for the general Government elections." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andy Asquith is a keen local politics watcher and governance scholar, a New Zealander but residing in Australia and he joins Mark Leishman.

Turnout in the weekend's local elections has fallen even further this time around. By the end of Friday, less than 33-percent of Kiwis had cast their vote. Local Government New Zealand President Sam Broughton - who was unseated as Selwyn Mayor - says we should be aiming for much higher turnout. He says general elections get double the turnout and we should expect the same for local elections. Prime Minster Chris Luxon told Mike Hosking both candidates and voters alike are to blame. He says candidates have to be compelling and set out a clear vision, but the public also can't complain if they don't vote. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Each home includes a private garage, oversized primary suite, walk-in closet, and covered outdoor space overlooking greenspace—perfect for relaxing or hosting friends. Located across from E.E. Robinson Park and Sugar Hill Elementary, Park Ridge offers a maintenance-free lifestyle with lawn care, pest control, home repairs, and appliances (yes, even washers and dryers) included. Plus, you’re minutes from downtown Sugar Hill, The Bowl, and shopping at Costco, H-Mart, and more. Want to learn more? Visit www.ParkRidgeSugarHill.com. 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: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Gwinnett police seeking suspect in fraudulent vehicle purchase Gwinnett Police are asking for help finding 33-year-old Anthony Sherlock, who’s wanted in a fraud case. 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. If you know anything, call detectives at 770-513-5300. Want to stay anonymous? Contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or stopcrimeATL.com. Cash rewards are available. 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.

Voting for local elections is underway but turnout for them has long been stuck at about 40%, far behind general elections. Our reporters in Auckland, New Plymouth, Nelson and Christchurch hit the streets to find out what voters actually want and if they're planning to have their say.

This week’s Cochise County Week in Review looks at the local impact of the CD7 special election, with discussion of turnout in Douglas and Bisbee and the absence of a “Kirk bump.” We examine Charlie Kirk’s lasting influence on youth politics and whether a Turning Point USA chapter could take root at Cochise College. We take you to Douglas for the 101st Cochise County Fair, with livestock, rodeo, and plenty of community spirit. Finally, we update two big stories: sentencing in a copper theft tied to the Russian mafia and rising costs at Sierra Vista’s city-owned golf course.Support the show: https://www.myheraldreview.com/site/forms/subscription_services/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
