This week Joe and Leland talk about Waynesboro baseball's run, softball teams in the regionals, and soccer. All this and more on this week's episode of the YAC Sports Podcast.

Despite its characteristics as a clean energy source, nuclear energy has not been a priority in the energy transition to date. Countries like Germany have shut down their last nuclear plants despite of the loss of pipeline natural gas from Russia and the US has been on a similar path with the Palisades and Diablo Canyon power plant closure decision as an example. You mention nuclear power and most people think of nuclear accidents like Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima Daiichi. But despite those high-profile safety accidents, nuclear energy maybe seeing a comeback. A new plant has opened at Vogtle in Burke County, near Waynesboro, Georgia. The first nuclear power plant in the Middle East has opened in the UAE and a fourth-generation plant opened in 2023 at the Shidaowan plant in China's northern Shandong province. Add to these events, talk of small modular reactors and growing interest in nuclear plants to power the new AI data centers and maybe the idea of a comeback is not so crazy. In this episode we talk with Dr. Naj Meshkati from USC about nuclear energy and risk management of potential future nuclear power plants.

The rain is here, and it's going to get interesting in the Shenandoah Valley and Central Virginia this week, weather-wise. #TeamAFP's Chris Graham and Crystal Graham talk about the weather to open the Monday podcast. Crystal Graham is our resident weather reporter. She has the scoop on what we can expect from the slow-moving storm making its way from the Southeast. Also on the show: Crystal updates us on local issues in Waynesboro involving a proposed increase in the meals tax and another project at the old Virginia Metalcrafters Crystal does her best to get Chris in further trouble with the UVA Basketball fan base, getting him to talk about the new hire by Ryan Odom to his staff. UVA Baseball continues its late-season run toward an NCAA Tournament berth. The “what else are we working on” segment includes the latest nonsense from DC involving DOGE not saving us money and Donald Trump taking a bribe, and details on a story that we're working on about how Albemarle County Police are trying a new approach to dealing with mental health.

What does your schedule reveal about your spiritual priorities? In this thought-provoking episode, Jesse Cope confronts us with a challenging truth: the way we allocate our time speaks volumes about what we truly value, often contradicting what we claim to believe.Through a careful examination of Matthew 11, we explore Jesus's gentle invitation to all who are weary and heavy-laden. There's something profoundly comforting about reaching the end of our own strength and wisdom, finally surrendering our problems to God when we've exhausted every human solution. As Jesse shares from personal experience: "I've tried everything... and then I get to the point where I look at God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and I go 'y'all got to figure this out.'" This moment of surrender, though born of desperation, brings unexpected peace when we recognize it's no longer on us.The conversation takes a fascinating historical turn as we consider the unique foundations of American liberty. If other systems—whether religious or political—could have produced what America did, why didn't they when they held centuries of unchallenged power? The conclusion is compelling: "Liberty is produced in association with God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit." Our current national struggles, Jesse suggests, stem not from flawed founding principles but from abandoning them.Perhaps most poignant are the reflections on how we treat those closest to us. Through examining early Christian martyrdom and the tragic history of believers persecuting one another, we're confronted with our own tendency to take for granted those relationships that should be most precious. The marriage relationship especially—meant to reflect Christ's relationship with the church—often receives our worst rather than our best.Whether you're questioning your priorities, seeking spiritual rest, or interested in the connection between faith and freedom, this episode offers both challenging questions and comforting truths that will stay with you long after listening.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

This week the Food and Beverage Stylist Chriscilla Browning.  Chriscilla has blended her love of photography with a creative palette of culinary art establishing herself as a leading visionary in the designing and crafting of visual delights for advertising and editorial stages where beauty stimulates the senses with mouth watering creations.  Chriscilla was born in Waynesboro, Virginia in 1973, the eldest of three girls, to Glenna Lyle, a homemaker and latterly a rural mail carrier, and David Miller, US Navy veteran turned electrician, safety inspector and explosives expert.  Chriscilla grew up on the family farm where rural life grounded her while she developed an interest in fashion and illustrating. She was also an athlete in High School proving herself as a runner. Her interest in the finer art of photography took her to the American College in Atlanta from which she graduated with a BA in Fine Arts in 1994. After a period of waiting tables and bars, Chriscilla found work in a photographer's studio in Atlanta where she learned the tricks of the trade in styling food and dishes, and even beds for Bloomingdales. It was during this time that she met her husband and took a break in her career to have Skyler, the first of her two sons.  Chriscilla has since built a lucrative business in food and beverage styling that leaves her little time for herself beyond exercising, which these days focuses on weight lifting.  Chriscilla live in Greensboro, NC, when she is not traveling the country on photo shoots.

In our latest podcast series, we're taking a deep dive on rural health, going beyond the common tropes about rural America – the older, sicker, poorer narrative – and checking in with folks on the ground who are excited to do the work of promoting equitable health outcomes for rural Americans.  Today, Health Disparities podcast host Sarah Hohman talk with two rural health providers: Russell Wimmer is a physician associate practicing in a single provider clinic in the small rural town of Brownsville, Oregon. Dr. Caylor Johnson is a Family Medicine Physician with Medical Specialists, Inc., in Waynesboro, Georgia. Johnson explains some of the unique challenges facing rural communities, which are incredibly diverse. “In my county alone, I have multiple communities, and they each have their own challenges, their own culture, their own history and beliefs,” Johnson says. “And that all comes to the table when they come to the doctor, and I have to be prepared for that.” Wimmer also shares what he loves about providing care in his rural community. “When you walk around, people talk to you and you know them personally, and they know you,” Wimmer said. “They're not ignorant to the fact that you're working with limited resources. They know that they're remote, they know that it's hard for you to sometimes help them with what they need. But the fact that you're there with them every day is not lost on them. They appreciate everything that you've done. They know that you're what they've got.” Never miss an episode – be sure to subscribe to The Health Disparities podcast from Movement Is Life on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Former Waynesboro mayor Bobby Henderson is back, this time running for the At-Large seat on Waynesboro City Council. Henderson joined AFP editor Chris Graham to talk about his decision to get back into the political ring after a two-year hiatus. The focus for Henderson, a military veteran, retired Virginia State Police trooper and lifelong Republican, is on restoring the voice of voters in the city, which has been under the thumb of a MAGA majority led by the vice mayor, Jim Wood, the past two years.

Terry Short Jr. is running for a third term on Waynesboro City Council, this time running for the Ward B seat on the body. Short talks with AFP editor Chris Graham about the 2024 race. Short is one of three independents running for seats against a slate of Republicans hand-picked the sitting vice mayor, Jim Wood, the chairman of the Waynesboro Republican Committee. Wood is the guy who was in national headlines last year for his homophobic slur of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Short was outspoken in his criticism of Wood, who stands to become mayor if the GOP slate is successful in next week's voting. That is, if we get the vote certified. Wood's two appointees to the Waynesboro Electoral Board have filed a lawsuit saying they will not vote to certify the local vote absent a court order, raising issue in the suit with state election law. We cover those topics and others, including housing affordability, education and economic opportunity, in this interview.

Lorie Strother, a candidate for the Ward A seat on Waynesboro City Council, sits down for an interview with AFP editor Chris Graham to discuss the 2024 election. The biggest issue facing the city involves the lack of affordable housing, which plays into the growth in the homeless population. Strother, who was homeless herself as a teen, shares her perspective on what the city needs to do to address the housing and homelessness issues. She also discusses her nine-year tenure on the Waynesboro Economic Development Authority, and what the city needs to do to continue to grow the local job base.

Dry conditions and gusty winds create an increased wildfire risk… Voters in Waynesboro counter-sue to force the local electoral board to certify the results of the election on November 5th… Meanwhile, more than 1,600 Virginians have had their voter registrations canceled since August under a state program that the Justice Department and advocacy groups contend is illegal….

Today we are setting the table with the pig. We visit with Dr. Tom Gallaher of Knoxville. He and his wife Caryn are well-known doctors in Knoxville - and he is also a farmer - and he and his family are hosting the Third Annual Hog Creek Cotillion in Waynesboro TN Saturday, November 9th with an all-day whole hog roast, BBQ, and all the fixings, and live music which benefits two non-profit organizations: Southern Foodways Alliance and the Tunnels to Towers Foundation.   And back by popular demand - we also hear from Barry and Aliceson Bales of Bales Farm in Mosheim TN and how Barry smokes his pork shoulder and makes his BBQ Sauce.

State Sen. John McGuire and Gloria Witt face off in 5th House District forum; parents have a new tool to assess daycare or preschool programs; USDA investigates its responses to Boar's Head outbreak; and Henrico planning commission doesn't recommend data center plan.

Today is the deadline to register to vote in November's election in Virginia… Citing conspiracy theories, two Waynesboro election officials say they may not certify election results… One cannabis company plans its buildout in the WMRA area, but others want to challenge their selection as the sole provider….

This week, we cover 4 battles as the war winds down. We start in Virginia with the battle of Waynesboro on March 2nd, 1865 where Brigadier General George Custer and his troops defeat Lt. General John Bell Hood and eliminate his army. Hood would not see the battlefield for the rest of his career.  Next, we head to Florida on March 6th with the battle of Natural Bridge. A Confederate force tries to stop the Yankee's from crossing the bridge.  For the last two battles of the episode, we go back to the Carolinas Campaign at the battles of Wyse Fork and Monroe's Crossroads, where Sherman continues his trek through the states to meet up with Grant up north.  Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetwork

Politics is a contact sport, as Springfield, Ohio, knows all too well, with MAGA Nation continuing to put the city in the crosshairs, all because city leaders refuse to play along with the Donald Trump/JD Vance lie about immigrants eating pets. Chris Graham covers that topic in today's podcast, and we also get into the Senate IVF bill that was blocked by MAGA Republicans, and the Teamsters, rather curiously, deciding to sit out the 2024 election, despite Trump making it clear that he will continue his union-busting ways if he gets elected in November. All of that, plus our too busy with North Carolina politics to care about Waynesboro guy running for a seat on Waynesboro City Council.

We are thrilled to share this COBT episode recorded live from Plant Vogtle featuring John Williams, Senior Vice President of Technical Services and External Affairs at Southern Nuclear, John Kotek, Senior Vice President of Policy Development and Public Affairs at the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), and Bill Flores, Vice Chairman of ERCOT and Veriten Senior Advisor. Brett Rampal and I had the pleasure of traveling to Waynesboro, GA for an exciting tour of Vogtle to see the completed units before sitting down with John Williams, John Kotek and Bill Flores for their perspectives on Vogtle and the broader nuclear energy landscape in the US and globally. Vogtle is the largest generator of clean energy in the US and is jointly owned by Georgia Power, Oglethorpe Power Corporation, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia and Dalton Utilities. The plant was named after Alvin Vogtle, a past Chairman, President and CEO of Southern Company and World War II veteran. The film “The Great Escape” was based in part on Mr. Vogtle's courageous wartime experiences (additional history linked here). In our conversation, John Williams first shares key background on Units 3 and 4 and how they've improved upon Units 1 and 2 in terms of technological advancements and safety features. We discuss the massive project of constructing Units 3 and 4, which involved a workforce of over 11,000 on-site employees, the economic benefits of nuclear facilities, the costs associated with building and operating nuclear plants, the US and global outlook for constructing additional AP1000 units, and the impact of nuclear energy development in the US, as well as its broader implications for global energy security. We touch on the obstacles faced during the construction of Vogtle 3 and 4 including regulatory challenges, the Fukushima incident in Japan, the bankruptcy of Westinghouse in 2017, and the impact of COVID-19 in 2020. In building the new units, Southern Company also faced the difficulty of finding an experienced workforce and re-creating a nuclear supply chain with Units 3 and 4 being the first new build nuclear plants in the US in 30 years. The scale of the project and site really struck us and John Williams put that into perspective when he pointed out that the concrete used for the expansion could lay a sidewalk from Waynesboro to Seattle and back. We also cover the safety and security of the facility, concerns over losing expertise as nuclear workers move to other industries with no other nuclear plants currently being built in the US, nuclear waste management, the growing appeal of nuclear energy careers to students, and much more. We were highly impressed with the entire experience and are excited to share our findings with you. Mike Bradley wasn't able to join the Vogtle field trip but passed along his market observations. He noted that markets (bonds, commodities and equities) all traded lower on Tuesday. From a broader equity market standpoint, the S&P 500 (-2.2%) and Nasdaq (-3.2%) were both pressured lower on Tuesday due to a substantial pullback in the S&P Technology sector (-4.4%) and shares of NVIDIA (-9.5%). Additional pressure could befall the S&P 500 given that September is historically the “worst” performing month for the S&P 500 by far, with the average September decline (over the last five years) being just over 4%. From a crude oil standpoint, WTI price traded down ~$3.25/bbl (closing at ~$70.25/bbl) on news that Libya was looking to restart ~0.5mmbpd of crude oil exports that had been temporarily curtailed. Goldman Sachs downgraded its long-held bullish copper call (mostly due to signs of slowing Chinese copper demand), which is also one of the main culprits that has been hanging over crude oil markets slowing global oil demand concerns. Given that this week's COBT focus was on Vogtle, he rounded

Coming up this week we have 4 battles as we near the end of 1864. First up we head back to Sherman's March To The Sea with the battle of Waynesboro on December 4th, 1864 where the Union hope to clear the way for Sherman to continue on to Savannah.  Then, it's back to the Franklin-Nashville Campaign where John Bell Hood tries one last attempt to force Sherman out of Georgia at the Third Battle of Murfreesboro December 5th-7th.  At the first battle of Fort Fisher in North Carolina on December 24th-27th, the Union try to capture the Rebel's last major Atlantic port. Union Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler fails in his mission and is soon let go from the Union Army.  We end the episode with the Second Battle of Fort McAllister on December 13th which was the last obstacle to get to Savannah. We also wrap up the rest of Sherman's March To The Sea with the aftermath and the debate of "total war" or "hard war" in terms of Sherman's strategy on the march.  Subscribe to our YouTube! youtube.com/@bangdangnetwork   Subscribe to our Dart League Channel! https://www.youtube.com/@theliquorshelfloungedartleague

The previous quakes occurred at depths of 2.5 and 5.2 miles. The U.S. Geological Survey reported 115 people felt Sunday's quake, mostly in Buford and Sugar Hill, while 163 people felt Thursday's quake, with reports from as far as Peachtree Corners. STORY 2: ARRESTED: 61-Year-Old Woman Accused of Setting Norcross Homes on Fire Hong T. Huynh, 61, was arrested by Dunwoody police on Friday for allegedly setting two homes on fire in Norcross on June 1. The fires, which occurred 20 minutes apart on Buckingham Court and Turners Ridge Drive, displaced ten people, including children, and injured one person.

Break 2: TOM WAGES   STORY 4: Gwinnett County Police are getting a new headquarters Gwinnett County officials have approved a $5.8 million contract with Precision Planning Inc. to design and provide construction administration services for a new Gwinnett Police Department Headquarters facility. The current headquarters, built in 1977 and expanded in 1988, no longer meets the department's needs. The new facility, expected to be completed in 2026, will consolidate off-site police teams and include a parking deck. The site, located at 800 Hi Hope Road, will replace the existing headquarters and E911 facilities. Funding for the project comes from the 2023 SPLOST Program. STORY 5: Moderna Announces Good Results From Trial of Combo COVID/Flu Vaccine Moderna has announced positive results from trials of its experimental mRNA-1083 vaccine, which targets both COVID-19 and influenza. The vaccine showed promising immune responses in older adults, equal to current vaccines targeting either flu or COVID-19. While not ready for this flu season, the vaccine could provide more convenient immunization options and improve compliance. It combines components from Moderna's seasonal influenza vaccine candidate and next-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate. Safety profiles appear similar to single-virus vaccines. The potential challenge lies in encouraging vaccine-weary Americans to embrace the dual-purpose vaccine. We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  INGLES 1   STORY 6: GPA Awards: Curt Yeomans, Will Hammock Earn First-Place Awards For Daily Post The Daily Post excelled in the Georgia Press Association's 2023 Better Newspaper Contest, earning 14 awards, including five first-place honors. Senior Reporter Curt Yeomans won first place for breaking news reporting and feature writing. Copy editor Kristen Hansen secured first place in headline writing, while the staff won for best lifestyle coverage. Sports Editor Will Hammock was honored for best sports feature. The paper also placed second for Page One and third for layout and design. Sister publications within Times-Journal, Inc. garnered a total of 91 awards. The True Citizen of Waynesboro received the Freedom of Information Award, and The Brunswick News, Valdosta Daily Times, and Newnan Times Herald claimed General Excellence awards in their respective divisions. STORY 7: Burt Jones: Economic worries will help Trump win back presidency During a speech at the Georgia Press Association's annual conference, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones forecasted that inflation would bolster support for former President Donald Trump's potential 2024 White House bid. Jones emphasized that while the 2020 election was driven by personality, the upcoming election will focus on economic issues. He pointed to rising gasoline prices and other inflation-related concerns under President Joe Biden's administration. Jones highlighted the importance of the economy in recent polling data, with 29% of respondents prioritizing it over other issues. Additionally, he commended the General Assembly for passing bills addressing private-school vouchers and reforming Georgia's Certificate of Need process for healthcare facilities. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 2     Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Today on the podcast, Robin and Lester interview Judge Alvin Wong, Georgia's first Asian American judge.   Guest Bio Judge Wong came to Richmond, Va. from Hong Kong when he was 14. His father enrolled him at Fishburne Military Academy in Waynesboro, Va., shook his hand and said he'd “see him next summer.” He followed a classmate from Fishburne to Auburn University without even knowing where it was. He graduated early and moved to Atlanta. He started taking night classes at John Marshal Law School and passed the Georgia Bar in 1976. He hung out a shingle and worked as a trial lawyer and then was a partner at Gambrell & Stolz (now Baker Donelson) for 20 years. Judge Wong was elected to the State Court of DeKalb County in 1999 and since his election in 1999, he's been reelected, unopposed, to six consecutive terms. With his election in 1999, he became the first Asian American judge in Georgia history. At that time, Asians made up less than two percent of registered voters in DeKalb County. In 2004, Judge Wong co-founded a DUI court to help people, calling it one of the most rewarding things he's done. He also sits on the board of the Lifeline Animal Project, a nonprofit that helps turn Atlanta animal shelters into no-kill shelters. He also brings to the courthouse Coco, a dachshund-chihuahua mix he rescued a decade ago. Jurors love to meet her after the trial is over. Judge Wong was elected by his peers in 2021 as president of the Georgia Council of State Court Judges, overseeing the entire state. His election marked the first time an Asian American served as president of any judicial council in Georgia. In 1993, Judge Wong and Professor Natsu Saito of Georgia State University Law School combed the State Bar Directory to find 10 attorneys to start an Asian American Bar Association. Today, the Georgia Asian Pacific Bar Association (GAPABA) has 750 members. In 2014, GAPABA named its top prize the “Judge Alvin T. Wong Pioneer Award”. It is given in his honor to a lawyer who demonstrates leadership to pave the way for the advancement of APA attorneys. He is the recipient of the 2017 Traditions of Excellence Award presented by the General Practice and Trial Section of the State Bar of Georgia. He received the 2022 Randolph Thrower Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Committee to Promote Inclusion in the Profession of the State Bar of Georgia. Judge Wong serves the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility – Judges Advisory Committee and as a Fernbank Museum of Natural History trustee and NAPABA (the National Asian Bar) Law Foundation board member, mentoring future leaders as co-director of its Thomas Tang National Moot Court Competition.

Shawn Decker is a musician, author and internet pioneer and has commandeered a life driven by creativity and shaped by medical adversity.  Diagnosed with HIV at age 11, before the advent of the effective treatments, Shawn's parents were told that he had six months-to-two-years to live.  That was in 1987. At age 14, he skipped his exams to meet Depeche Mode through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  He was crowned Homecoming King at Waynesboro High School in Virginia in 1992, and credits his poor attendance record for the win. At age 20, Shawn opened up about living with HIV by posting one of the first online blogs in 1996. After moving from Waynesboro to Charlottesville, Virginia, Shawn fell in love with the local music scene and, most importantly, a fellow HIV educator, Gwenn.  Educating together as a sero-diverse couple- where one partner is HIV positive and the other is HIV negative- Shawn and Gwenn have shared their love story with millions of people.  And in some very unique ways.  From educational programming on the BBC, MTV, VH1 and even Hong Kong TV, to a Bed In in a Grand Central Station storefront on World AIDS Day.  Their candor, humor and openness inspired the inclusion of a sero-diverse couple's storyline on the scripted MTV series, Shuga which has educated teenagers and young adults around the world.  Shawn has been a contributing writer for Poz Magazine since 1997 and his humorous memoir, My Pet Virus: The True Story of a Rebel Without a Cure, was published by the Penguin Group in 2006.  From 1992 until 2022, he wrote and performed music as Synthetic Division, cutting his teeth in the basement of Tokyo Rose restaurant, an iconic Charlottesville music scene. His new band, Nouveau Vintage, makes their debut on March 9 at the Please Don't Tell Album Release party, sharing the stage with Charming Disaster and DJ Cadybug.  This Spirit Ball takes place at the Southern Cafe & Music Hall in downtown Charlottesville, VA. In this episode, Shawn talks about his life; the importance of breaking down the stigma and discrimination around HIV; his thoughts on death and living; how music has influenced and supported him through many ups and downs; the song that his mother used to contact him from beyond the grave; words of wisdom; and what lies ahead.
