STORY 1: Fatal Crash Involving Trooper and Motorcyclist Exceeded Speeds of 140 MPH

Gerson Danilo Ayala Rodriguez, a 21-year-old from Norcross, led a Georgia State Trooper on a high-speed chase exceeding 140 mph on his motorcycle on January 28, causing the trooper, Jimmy Cenescar, to lose control of his patrol car and crash, resulting in his death. Rodriguez, who lacked a driver's license and a valid license plate, has been arrested and charged with murder, vehicular homicide, and several other offenses. The Georgia Department of Public Safety worked diligently to investigate the incident. Trooper Cenescar, 28, was a recent graduate of Georgia Gwinnett College and had joined the department in January 2023. Visitation and funeral services for Cenescar will be held later this week.

STORY 2: Laziness and air pollution largely to blame for dementia: study

A new study suggests that dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, was extremely rare in ancient times, with modern lifestyles and environments largely to blame for its prevalence today. Analysis of ancient Greek and Roman texts reveals few mentions of cognitive decline comparable to Alzheimer's. As Roman cities grew denser, pollution increased, possibly driving up cases of cognitive decline. Additionally, Roman aristocrats' use of lead in cooking vessels and water pipes may have contributed to neurotoxicity. Modern-day Tsimane Amerindians, living a physically active lifestyle, have extremely low rates of dementia, highlighting the influence of modern environments on the condition. These findings suggest that lifestyle factors, such as sedentary behavior and pollution exposure, play a significant role in the rise of Alzheimer's disease.

 

STORY 3: New weight loss medication could lower blood pressure in obese adults

A new weight loss medication, tirzepatide, has shown promise in lowering blood pressure in obese adults, according to a study published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension. The medication significantly reduced systolic blood pressure, a strong predictor of cardiovascular death, in nearly 500 severely overweight adults. Tirzepatide works by mimicking metabolic hormones that regulate insulin secretion and sensitivity, leading to weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing down digestion. Participants taking tirzepatide experienced average reductions in systolic blood pressure of 7.4 mm Hg to 10.6 mm Hg, alongside significant weight loss. Lead author Professor James A. de Lemos noted the potential of tirzepatide in preventing or treating high blood pressure, but emphasized the need for further research to confirm these findings and understand long-term effects on cardiovascular health.

STORY 4: Possible new treatment for rare disorder that causes babies to have extra fingers and toes

Researchers at the University of Leeds may have discovered a treatment for a rare disorder causing extra fingers and toes, along with other birth defects, autism, and a large head circumference. The disorder currently has no treatment, but the research identified a molecule that could potentially treat neurological symptoms and prevent further deterioration. The drug is already in clinical trials for another disorder, expediting the process if found effective. Dr. James Poulter emphasized the importance of such research for patients and families facing years of uncertainty. The disorder stems from a genetic mutation in the MAX gene, identified through a study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics. Further research will explore the treatment's effectiveness and its potential to improve symptoms caused by the mutation.

STORY 5: Adversity early in life can cause kid’s brains to develop too fast

A new study suggests that children exposed to early life adversity (ELA) undergo accelerated brain development during preschool years, potentially leading to negative health outcomes later in life. Researchers from A*STAR's Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences studied 549 children, tracking brain development via MRI scans at ages 4.5, 6, and 7.5 years. They found that ELA is linked to accelerated brain development between ages 4.5 and 6, likely a protective response. However, this can shorten the window for adaptive learning and neuroplasticity, with implications for cognitive and mental health. Dr. Tan Ai Peng emphasized the importance of early intervention during this critical period to mitigate adverse effects. The study was published in the journal Nature Mental Health.

From the Drake Realty Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Today is Sunday, February 4th, and Happy 75th Birthday to musician Alice Cooper.

*** 02.04.24 – BIRTHDAY – ALICE COOPER***

I’m Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett County Public Schools.

1. Father Also Charged With Murder In Beating Death of 8-Year-Old
2. Discovery High School Student Arrested For Making Social Media Threat
3. Chinese herbal remedy ginkgo biloba helps stroke victims recover quicker

STORY 1: Father Also Charged With Murder In Beating Death of 8-Year-Old

The father, Cledir Barros, of an 8-year-old girl who died from alleged beatings by her stepmother, Natiela Barros, has been arrested and charged with cruelty to a child and second-degree murder. Natiela Barros was previously charged with first-degree cruelty to children, aggravated assault, felony murder, and malice murder. The incident occurred at their Bethlehem home in Gwinnett County. The arrest warrant states that Natiela Barros beat the child with a wooden rolling pin and did not seek medical help for the victim. Both Cledir Barros and Natiela Barros are in custody and denied bond. The motive for the beating is unclear.

STORY 2: Discovery High School Student Arrested For Making Social Media Threat

A student from Discovery High School has been arrested after making threats against the school on social media. The arrest followed an investigation involving the FBI, state and local law enforcement, and telecommunications companies. Although no gun or weapon was found, and there was no evidence the student intended to carry out the threat, the school is taking the situation seriously. The threat caused panic and disrupted the school day. The student will face criminal charges and the maximum school disciplinary consequence. This incident follows a similar one last August when a rumor during a football game caused a stampede.

STORY 3: Chinese herbal remedy ginkgo biloba helps stroke victims recover quicker

A study suggests that a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, ginkgo biloba, may aid stroke recovery. The study, conducted in China, found that stroke survivors treated with intravenous injections of ginkgo diterpene lactone meglumine (GDLM) showed better cognitive recovery at 14 days and 90 days after a clot-caused ischemic stroke. Ginkgo biloba, derived from the ginkgo tree, has been used in China as a complementary treatment for ischemic stroke. The compound showed neuroprotective effects, including expanding brain blood vessels and improving brain cell tolerance to oxygen deprivation. Longer-term research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of GDLM injections.

STORY 4: Georgia Senate clears bill to legalize sports betting with constitutional amendment

The Georgia Senate passed a bill (Senate Bill 386) that lays the groundwork for legalizing sports betting in the state. The bill includes a constitutional amendment that would require a referendum, giving Georgia voters the final say. The legislation, sponsored by Republican Sen. Clint Dixon, allows the Georgia Lottery to oversee the sports gambling industry, with a 20% tax on revenue to fund higher education HOPE scholarships and pre-K programs. The bill passed with a 35-15 vote, meeting the two-thirds majority required for constitutional amendments. The legislation now heads to the House chamber for further consideration.

STORY 5: Georgia Rent Prices Increased 6th Most in the U.S. Last Year

The U.S. economy is showing signs of optimism, with strong economic growth, consumer spending, and employment rates despite previous recession concerns. The Federal Reserve hints at possible interest rate cuts in 2024. While inflation has slowed, the housing market continues to pose challenges, with high rental costs driven by a long-term shortage of housing stock. Rent prices have surged, particularly in states like Rhode Island, Maryland, and Delaware, where median rents increased by double-digit percentages. In Georgia, rent increased by 16.1%, with a median rent of $1,753 in 2024. Nationwide, the median rent increased by 12.6% to $1,793.

STORY 6: Kettlerock Brewing Latest Gwinnett Brewery To Close Doors

Kettlerock Brewing in Peachtree Corners, Gwinnett County, Georgia, has announced its closure after three years in business, becoming the fourth craft brewery in Gwinnett and the second in Peachtree Corners to shut down in less than a year. The closure reflects the challenges faced by the brewing industry in the region, with Anderby Brewing in Peachtree Corners closing in the summer of the previous year, Black Bird Brewing in Lilburn shutting down in October, and Ironshield Brewing in Lawrenceville closing its taproom in December while continuing beer sales through local retailers. The closures come amid broader challenges for breweries nationwide.

STORY 7: Georgia Senate Passes Mulberry Cityhood Bill

The Georgia Senate has approved legislation proposing a referendum to form the city of Mulberry in northeast Gwinnett, and the bill now proceeds to the state House of Representatives for consideration. The proposed city, championed by House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration, would be Gwinnett County's 17th city if approved by voters in the May 21 general election primary ballot. The cityhood proposal, prompted by concerns over development in northern Gwinnett, aims to address zoning issues in the area. Mulberry, which would be the largest Gwinnett city in terms of land size, would not implement a city property tax.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Jan 31st 

Publish Date:  Jan 30th     

 

From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Today is Wednesday, January 31st, and Happy heavenly Birthday to MLB HOF Jackie Robinson.

***01.31.24 – BIRTHDAY – JACKIE ROBINSON***

I’m Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett Public Schools.

1. Tragic Murder-Suicide in Snellville Apartment Complex Results in 3 Casualties and 1 Injured
2. Georgia Senate Considers Bill to Increase Availability of Naloxone in Schools
3. New Legislation to Enhance Penalties for Swatting Hoaxes Under Review in Georgia Senate

Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on cross contact and contamination.

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: GCPS

 

STORY 1: Murder-Suicide At Snellville Apartment Complex Leaves 3 Dead And 1 Hospitalized

In the early hours of Tuesday morning, a shooting at a Snellville-area apartment complex in Gwinnett left three people dead and a woman hospitalized. Police responded to a domestic disturbance at View at Jacks Creek apartment complex, where a man shot another man and two women before shooting himself. Both men were found dead at the scene, and one of the injured women succumbed to her injuries. The shooter and the surviving female were believed to be in a relationship. The police are investigating the motive, and anyone with information is urged to contact GCPD detectives or Crime Stoppers.

STORY 2: Bill Expanding Naloxone Presence In Schools Pending in Georgia Senate

Georgia State Senator Clint Dixon has introduced Senate Bill 395, aimed at allowing teachers, administrators, students, and visitors in the state to carry overdose-reversing drugs like naloxone on school campuses. The proposed legislation follows a series of opioid overdoses at a Gwinnett high school. The bill expands the group of people authorized to carry such drugs, making them more accessible on school grounds. While the bill doesn't mandate carrying the drug, it encourages accessibility to save lives. In the event of administration, schools would be required to notify parents or guardians about the incident. The bill aims to address the opioid epidemic's impact on schools.

STORY 3: Bill Strengthening Penalties for Swatting Hoaxes Filed In Georgia Senate

Georgia State Senator Clint Dixon has introduced Senate Bill 421 to increase penalties for swatting hoaxes. Swatting involves making false emergency claims, triggering police SWAT teams to respond. The bill proposes making the first swatting call to a residence a felony with a one-year prison term. Currently, it is a misdemeanor. Second offenses, regardless of the target, would be felonies with penalties ranging from one to 10 years in prison. Third offenses would carry a sentence of 10 to 15 years. The bill aims to address the dangerous nature of swatting and its potential to harm unsuspecting residents.

STORY 4: Study links alcohol and obesity to high bowel cancer deaths

The number of bowel cancer deaths among young people in the UK is on the rise, with factors such as obesity, alcohol, and lack of exercise contributing to the increase. Deaths of people aged 25 to 49 from the disease rose by 39% in women and 26% in men compared to 2018. Similar increases are expected in EU countries, especially Germany, Spain, Italy, and Poland. While bowel cancer is rising among young people, overall death rates from the disease are expected to fall in the UK and the EU, attributed to improved diagnosis and treatment.

STORY 5: Cops mistake marathon runner with fridge on his back for thief

A man training for the London Marathon by running with a fridge on his back was stopped by police, who initially suspected he had stolen it. Daniel Fairbrother, 34, was jogging with the 25kg fridge, named Tallulah, when a police car in Stevenage, Herts, pulled him over. The officers, after inquiring about the fridge, learned that Daniel was running the marathon for Diabetes UK and aiming to break the world record for running a marathon while carrying a household appliance. The current record stands at four hours and 52 minutes. Daniel hopes to raise £10,000 for Diabetes UK.

STORY 6: Two Gwinnett Students Awarded $40K scholarships by College Board

Two Gwinnett County Public Schools students, Alyssa Perez of Gwinnett Online Campus and Yadhira Alvarado-Zarate of McClure Health Science High School, received $40,000 scholarships each from College Board's BigFuture program. The program, a free online resource, assists students in college planning, financial aspects, and career exploration.

STORY 7: State Senate forms panel to probe misconduct allegations against Fani Willis

The Republican-controlled Georgia Senate voted to investigate allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, accusing her of an improper relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade in the case against Donald Trump. The Senate passed a resolution 30-19 along party lines to create a special committee with subpoena power for this probe. The allegations surfaced in a motion filed by a defendant, Michael Roman. Senate Republicans argue that investigating Willis is justified due to the significant legal fees paid to Wade for pursuing the case. Senate Democrats contend that existing processes, including the Senate Ethics Committee, are adequate for the investigation.

 

We’ll have final thoughts after this.
