Top Stories for January 24th Publish Date: January 24th PRE-ROLL: Kia Mall of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 24th and Happy Birthday to Neil Diamond I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. GCPS cancels weekend activities; no decision made for Monday classes NAME CHANGE: Coolray Field's naming rights are up for grabs; will be Gwinnett Field for now Four dead in shooting at Lawrenceville home; child’s 911 call leads to suspect’s arrest 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: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: GCPS cancels weekend activities; no decision made for Monday classes Gwinnett County Public Schools is playing it safe this weekend—officials have canceled all activities scheduled for Saturday and Sunday due to the looming bad weather. “The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority,” the district said in a statement. As of Thursday afternoon, no decisions have been made yet about Monday. But the district promised to keep everyone in the loop if anything changes. For now, here’s the deal: All school events and facility use for Jan. 24–25? Canceled. Monday? Still up in the air. Stay tuned, and stay safe. STORY 2: NAME CHANGE: Coolray Field's naming rights are up for grabs; will be Gwinnett Field for now For 15 years, it’s been Coolray Field—home of the Gwinnett Stripers. But now? Say hello to Gwinnett Field. At least for now. Coolray Heating and Air’s naming rights deal ended in 2025, and while the Gwinnett Convention and Visitors Bureau hunts for a new corporate partner, the stadium’s getting a temporary rebrand. Signs are already coming down, including the big one on the outfield scoreboard (a crane’s needed for that beast). The Stripers’ website and new signage will reflect the change before the season starts in April. Meanwhile, Hall’s confident a new sponsor will step up soon. Even so, getting locals to stop calling it Coolray might take time. After all, even the apartments overlooking the field are named “The Views at Coolray Field.” Change is hard, but Hall believes people will adjust faster than they think. “Repetition works. Before long, they won’t even remember what it used to be called.” STORY 3: Four dead in shooting at Lawrenceville home; child’s 911 call leads to suspect’s arrest A tragic scene unfolded early Friday morning in a quiet Lawrenceville neighborhood—four adults were found dead in what police are calling a domestic shooting. It happened around 2:30 a.m. on Brook Ivy Court. Officers arrived after a “shots fired” call and discovered the victims inside the home, all with fatal gunshot wounds. Their names haven’t been released yet, but police confirmed there’d been prior calls to the house. Three young children were inside when it happened. Terrified, they hid in a closet. One of them—brave beyond words—called 911, giving officers the information they needed to respond quickly. When police arrived, the suspect’s car was still in the driveway. K-9 units tracked him to a nearby wooded area, where he was arrested without incident. The children, thankfully unharmed, are now with family. The investigation is ongoing. 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 - Gwinnett County Public Schools STORY 4: Athea King named executive director of the Suwanee Arts Center The Suwanee Arts Center has a new face at the helm—Athea King, a seasoned arts leader with a knack for bringing people and creativity together. Before landing in Suwanee, King worked at the Woodruff Arts Center, where she juggled everything from managing over 130 trustees to building partnerships and co-creating fundraising events that boosted arts education across Georgia. Her resume? Packed. She’s led gallery merchandising at Spruill Gallery, strengthened artist relationships, and turned their Holiday Art Fair into a record-breaking fundraiser. She’s also held roles at the High Museum, ArtCloud, and more, shaping her into a powerhouse of strategic planning, artist advocacy, and community programming. Oh, and she’s not just an administrator—she’s an artist herself. King’s fine art photography has been exhibited across the Southeast, backed by two Kickstarter campaigns. With a BFA in Photographic Imaging and a heart for collaboration, King’s ready to make Suwanee’s arts scene shine even brighter. STORY 5: Parkview senior earns Legion of Valor Bronze Cross award Candace Elkins, a senior at Parkview High, just earned one of the most prestigious honors in JROTC—the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement. And honestly? It’s no surprise. As Cadet Battalion Commander, holding the rank of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel (the highest in her unit), Candace has led with grit and focus. Her leadership mantra? “Focus on your weakness and exploit it until it becomes your strength.” It’s worked wonders, according to First Sergeant Nontron D. Ward, her JROTC instructor. This award isn’t handed out lightly. Out of 300,000 JROTC students nationwide, only a handful receive it each year. To qualify, you’ve got to be in the top 10% of your JROTC unit and the top 15% of your class. Candace? She’s crushing it with a 98.8 GPA, a class rank of 43 out of 731, and a JROTC GPA of 98.5. But she’s not just about academics. She’s also a varsity lacrosse player, a Color Guard Commander, and a community service powerhouse. Dr. Frank Jones, a district coordinator, summed it up: “She’s the kind of well-rounded, high-achieving student the Legion of Valor Committee looks for.” We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: Dumpster fire damages exterior of Dillard’s at Mall of Georgia Wednesday night got a little too heated at the Mall of Georgia—literally. A dumpster fire outside Dillard’s turned into a bigger problem when flames spread to the building’s exterior. It all started around 7:28 p.m., when 911 calls came in reporting the fire. By the time crews arrived five minutes later, the dumpster blaze had climbed up the two-story parapet wall near the loading dock. Firefighters jumped into action, attacking the flames with hoses while teams evacuated the store to make sure no one was trapped inside. Once everyone—about 40 people—was safely out, crews tackled the fire that had spread to a nearby tree and worked to protect surrounding areas. By 7:51 p.m., the fire was under control, though smoke still lingered inside Dillard’s. Fans were brought in to clear it out. The damage? Significant to the parapet wall, but thankfully, the fire didn’t make it inside the main building. No injuries were reported, and medical crews on-site focused on firefighter rehab. Fire officials later ruled the blaze accidental, with the dumpster as the starting point. Dillard’s and mall management were on hand to assist emergency crews as the situation unfolded. STORY 7: Lawrenceville's Natalee Summers honored as Gwinnett Tech's top GOAL student Natalee Summers, an Early Childhood Care and Education student at Gwinnett Technical College, was just named the 2026 GOAL winner—and she’s still wrapping her head around it. A Lawrenceville local, Natalee’s roots run deep in Gwinnett County. Raised in Georgia since she was seven, she credits her family, church, and community for shaping her journey. She’s not just a student—she’s a leader. From serving as a Student Ambassador to organizing a pajama drive that collected over 500 pairs for foster kids, Natalee’s heart is in everything she does. Her path to Gwinnett Tech wasn’t straightforward. Financial worries made a four-year university feel impossible, so she started in Radiologic Technology—practical, sure, but not her passion. Through the GOAL competition, Natalee realized something powerful: her story matters. After graduation, she hopes to work in Gwinnett County schools and eventually earn her bachelor’s in elementary education.

✦ If artists are the heartbeats, pumping out music, then DJs are the people with their fingers on the pulse. People in-tune with the rhythms that allow you to feel how love, longing, and light in a song, and in your soul. There are DJs that play arenas, clubs, weddings, backyard BBQs, and every place in-between. They can make or break or night, but my goodness the right DJ can transform a dance floor into a time machine; into a place that can take you to the past, into the future, or just make time stand still. Atlanta has some of the best DJs on the planet. On our new series, “Thank You DJs” we'll sit down with DJs you know, DJs you don't, and DJs you should, so that we might know them, their journey, and their love for music a little better. First up DJ Greg Nyce. ✦ What do you do when you're stuck at home during the pandemic, with too much free time and no creative outlet? For Atlanta Symphony Orchestra bassist and composer Michael Kurth, you create a chamber group. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans shares more on the Ridibund Chamber Music Society. ✦ City Lights Collective member, podcaster, and self-proclaimed history nerd Victoria Lemos recently took a deep dive into the Southern institution that never sleeps — Waffle House. From its roots in a chance friendship in Avondale Estates, to being used as a FEMA disaster barometer, she traced how two neighbors turned a $4,000 investment into a 24-hour empire. This is more than just breakfast — it's a story of Southern identity, innovation, and two visionaries who made waffles a way of life. ✦ You know as well as I do that there is always a plethora of things to do in Atlanta, and we have earned the title of "The Cultural Capital of the South." Mike Jordan, senior editor at the AJC, and Sammie Purcell, associate editor at Rough Draft Atlanta, know this well too. They join us weekly to share a few of their picks for your weekend entertainment. Today, their mix includes free music, peaches, and a trip to the stars. ✦ It's been a long road since The Swell Season first captured hearts with their Oscar-winning song "Falling Slowly" and the hit film Once, which dramatized their real-life connection. That breakout moment led to a beloved Broadway adaptation and the release of their critically acclaimed second album, Strict Joy. Now, 16 years later, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová reunite for a new collection of heartfelt songs—and will bring their long-awaited return to Atlanta with a performance at the Woodruff Arts Center on August 2. City Lights Collective producer Josh Thane sat down with the duo to discuss their reunion and everything that has unfolded in the years since.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
