GDP Script/ Top Stories for Feb 13th      Publish Date:  Feb 12th         HENSSLER 15 From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, February 13th and Happy 73rd Birthday to musician to Peter Gabriel. ***02.13.24 – BIRTHDAY – PETER GABRIEL*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Credit Union of Geogia. Georgia Voter Registration Closes; Early Voting Begins Soon for Key Presidential Primary Election Gwinnett Police Arrest Four, Recover $1 Million Worth of Stolen Construction Materials Gwinnett Schools Receive Honor with Grant for Cancer Research 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: HENRY COUNTY   STORY 1: Monday Is the Voter Registration Deadline For Georgia's Presidential Primary The registration deadline for Georgia citizens to participate in the March 12 presidential primary election was on February 121. In the Republican primary, notable contenders include former President Donald Trump and former U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley2. On the Democratic side, the competition is between President Joe Biden and Dean Phillips. Early voting begins on February 19 and runs until March4. For the Presidential Preference Primary on March 12, ten designated polling stations will be open from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, including weekends, starting from Monday, February 19, through Friday, March. However, it's worth noting that not all polling locations are equipped with ballot drop boxes6. These boxes are now situated within specific advance voting locations and are accessible only during the advanced voting period's operating hours and days7. Unlike before, they are no longer available around the clock, seven days a week. STORY 2: Four People Arrested As Gwinnett Police Recover $1 Million In Stolen Construction Materials Gwinnett County Police unearthed stolen construction materials valued at $1 million and a substantial quantity of pills suspected to be illicit narcotics during the execution of a search warrant at a residence located at 4260 Tuggle Road. Four individuals, identified as Bobby Mosley, Charles Mosley, Estuesta Fortuna Rogelio Jr., and Regina Crane, are facing charges related to the possession of controlled substances with the intent to distribute3. The stolen materials, consisting of items such as flooring, doors, and appliances, were discovered in garages on the property. Investigators are currently in collaboration with retail companies like Home Depot and Lowes to identify the stolen items5. As the investigation advances, additional charges may be filed6. The process of inventorying the recovered items is ongoing and is expected to take more than a week to complete. STORY 3: Gwinnett Schools Honored with Cancer Research Grant Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) has been honored with the American Cancer Society's Hero of Research Award1. This recognition is due to the district's significant participation in the Relay For Life campaign, where 53 teams amassed over $382,000 last year. As part of the award, a research grant will be named after GCPS4. The grant will fund research into the role of BLM in alternative lengthening of telomeres, a process linked to several types of cancer. The research, scheduled to run from January 1 to December 31, 2026, will focus on brain tumors, breast cancer, neuroblastoma, sarcoma, and bone cancer. GCPS Superintendent Calvin J. Watts expressed pride in the partnership with the American Cancer Society and highlighted their shared commitment to community well-being and saving lives. The Gwinnett Relay For Life event, an integral part of these fundraising efforts, is set for April 27 at the Suwanee Town Center. 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: Two Georgia Principal Of The Year Finalists Are From Gwinnett Schools Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) is proud to have two of its principals among the finalists for Georgia's 2024 Principal of the Year Award1. Dr. Brett Savage of Brookwood High School and Ryan Queen of Trickum Middle School make up one-third of the six total finalists for this prestigious award. The winner will go on to compete in the 2025 National Association of Secondary School Principal of the Year Competition. Both Savage and Queen expressed their gratitude for this recognition, attributing their success to their hardworking staff, supportive communities, and unwavering commitment to education. GCPS has a strong track record of producing statewide principal winners, with at least four winners in the past 12 years5. The selection process for the 2024 award involves interviews with the finalists, and the winner will be announced later in the year. STORY 5: Weather Makes For Great Day For Run The Reagan Road Race The 29th annual Run the Reagan road race in Snellville saw participation from 1,500 individuals, offering a variety of race options such as a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and a one-mile "Fun Run". The event benefits local charities such as the Brookwood Schools Foundation, South Gwinnett Cluster Foundation, and Lilburn Co-op. Despite past weather challenges, runners this year enjoyed a pleasant 60-degree day. The event encourages community involvement and supports education, with over 300 students and Brookwood High School principal Brett Savage participating4. Former Brookwood students Christopher and Patrick Smith won the 10K and half marathon, respectively, underlining the event's strong local ties and beneficial impact on both participants and charities. Break 3:   STORY 6: Study explores how employed Americans handle sickness A study of 2,000 employed adults found that 40% of Americans believe their mother cares for them better than their partner when they fall ill. Men are more likely to agree with this sentiment than women. While most people prefer to keep their illness private, some share about it on social media, with men more likely to do so than women. Despite feeling unwell, many still attempt to remain productive, with some even working while sick. Concerns about falling behind at work and financial worries contribute to the reluctance to take sick days, particularly among women who worry more about reduced or lost wages. Many respondents favor telehealth visits over in-person doctor's appointments due to convenience. STORY 7: A fungal plague is killing Georgia's bats. Scientists are fighting back Wildlife biologists in northeast Georgia are monitoring the devastating impact of white-nose syndrome on tricolored bats, a species once prevalent in the area. The fungal disease causes dehydration and starvation in hibernating bats, leading to a significant population decline across North America. The fungus, which thrives in cold, damp environments, has now reached Georgia, posing a threat to various bat species. Strategies to combat the syndrome include treatment trials using airborne compounds to inhibit fungal growth in bat habitats, with promising results seen in the recovery of bat populations in treated areas. Conservationists stress the importance of human intervention in reducing the impact of human-induced threats to wildlife species like bats.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 8 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Tradespeople in general are a proud bunch. How could you not be when you spend time building things that make the world go 'round. Your communities just would not function without you. What better way to let that pride show through than putting egos up against each other to see who will be the best install in the country?The National Installer of the Year Competition was revived in 2019 at the annual International Surfaces Event in Las Vegas, Nevada. It has spent the last few years not only growing in popularity at the show, but also in what is required to hold it. From a handful of entries to having to hold regional competitions to whittle down the competitors, the competition only continues to grow and attract attention. What lies in the future for the event and why is it so important to the industry as a whole?

When Lizzie Schofield entered the Gardens of the Year competition, back in 2020, she had no expectation of being shortlisted, let alone winning. Her tricky garden was on a steep, coastal plot right on the North East coast of Scotland, and she saw herself as an amateur gardener. Even Lizzie's partner Malcolm told her it wasn't worth entering, but much to Lizzie's surprise, she won – and in addition, secured the People's Choice award too. Since then, her gardening adventures have bloomed along with her own confidence as a gardener. In this podcast, she shares how her life, and her gardening, has changed since winning the competition.

Welcome back to this weeks exciting episode of the Mic the Gardener – Gardening Podcast.

In today's episode I chat to Victoria who is the Chair and the national organiser of the Young Horticulturist of the Year competition.  Now as the title of the competition clearly tells us, this is a competition to find the best young horticulturist.

When Crystal Sims was asked by her brother Daniel if she wanted to compete in the National Installer of the Year Competition at The International Surface Event, the answer was a resounding no. Daniel had won the previous year and wanted to encourage his sister to not only grow but show off her skills. He entered her anyways, broke the news to her and the rest is the history we will now learn about. The journey to competing for installer of the year was more than Crystal initially bargained for but now it has opened so many other doors that she couldn't get off this train if she wanted to. Listen in as she explains how one action she was resistant to has created some of the best moments in her life.Preferred FlooringNeed new headphones for working and listening to Floored-U-Cation?
