GDP Script/ Top Stories for Dec 10th

HENSSLER 15

From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Today is Sunday, December 10th and Happy 48th Birthday to Seven Nation Army drummer Meg White

***12.10.23 - BIRTHDAY - MEG WHITE (SEVEN NATION ARMY)***

I’m Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappy Properties.

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: Peggy Slappy

STORY 1: Aurora Theatre's 'Christmas Canteen' is a community tradition

The Aurora Theatre's annual production of "Christmas Canteen" in Lawrenceville, Georgia, is celebrating its 28th year. Conceived as a tribute to the USO shows entertaining military personnel during past decades, the show has evolved into a lively revue-type production reminiscent of Christmas variety shows from the 1960s and 1970s. The 10-person cast, including members of Aurora’s apprentice program, performs a mix of old and modern tunes, incorporating skits for comedy and poignant songs for emotional moments. The show, running until December 23, has become a holiday tradition for many patrons, blending nostalgia with new experiences.

STORY 2: Diabetes drugs may reduce colon cancer risk: study

A groundbreaking study suggests that diabetes drugs, specifically glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), may significantly reduce the risk of colon cancer (colorectal cancer or CRC). Researchers at Case Western Reserve University found that GLP-1 RAs were more effective than other anti-diabetic drugs in preventing CRC. The study, published in JAMA Oncology, emphasizes the potential of GLP-1 RAs in preventing deadly forms of cancer associated with obesity and diabetes. The drugs, commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes, have been shown to lower blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, manage weight, and reduce rates of major cardiovascular ailments.

STORY 3: Central Gwinnett's Jenna Cloninger named Gwinnett County Public Schools' Teacher of the Year

Jenna Cloninger, who teaches oceanography at Central Gwinnett High School, has been named Gwinnett County Public Schools' overall Teacher of the Year. Cloninger emphasized the recognition as an achievement for the entire oceanography team in Gwinnett schools, shedding light on elective subjects often overshadowed by high-stakes testing and core subjects. The course is offered as a fourth-year science elective for high school seniors and plays a vital role in enriching students' lives and helping them discover their passions. Cloninger will compete for statewide Teacher of the Year honors.

Break 2: MOG  – TOM WAGES – Glow Light Show

STORY 4: Consumer Health: Flu vaccination and cancer

It is crucial for individuals with cancer to receive a yearly flu vaccination, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Mayo Clinic. The flu can lead to severe complications, especially for those with weakened immune systems, chronic illnesses, or cancer. Flu complications for high-risk individuals may include pneumonia, heart problems, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. While the flu vaccine may not be 100% effective, it significantly reduces the risk of infection, lessens severity, and lowers the chance of hospitalization. Additional preventive measures include frequent handwashing, avoiding face-touching, covering coughs and sneezes, cleaning surfaces, and avoiding crowded places during peak flu season.

STORY 5: Editorial: Voters are right to complain about inflation

The Federal Reserve's efforts to guide the U.S. economy toward a soft landing, reducing inflation without causing a recession, appear to be working against the odds. Recent data show continued economic growth, a gradually cooling job market, and a slower pace of service price increases. However, despite these positive signs, voters remain persistently unhappy with the economy, possibly due to the significant inflation surge following the pandemic. The Biden administration's attempts to declare victory over inflation have been met with skepticism, as many households experience increased costs of living, particularly in groceries, housing, and credit. The lesson for policymakers is to recognize that people are the best judges of their own financial circumstances, and inflation disproportionately affects financially stressed households, making it a critical concern for both economics and politics.

Break 3:  JACKSON – ESOG - INGLES 3

STORY 6: Commentary: What’s it like to be an average American?

On an average day in the United States, people drive 32 miles (about an hour daily), with over 14,000 car accidents occurring daily. The average American spends almost three hours watching TV and over three hours on smartphones, checking their phones 58 times daily. Americans consume around 5.5 pounds of food daily and approximately two alcoholic beverages per day. On average, 10,000 babies are born, 9,500 people die, and around 4,000 people immigrate to the U.S. daily. The federal government spends over $17 billion daily, leading to unsustainable fiscal imbalances. The daily average of 123 firearm-related deaths includes about 13 from mass shootings, while drug overdose deaths average 294 per day, emphasizing the need for effective policies. The data highlights the diverse and unique experiences within a population of 335 million people.

STORY 7: Liam Denning: Musk’s Cyberbeast has a weight problem

The weight and acceleration of electric vehicles (EVs), exemplified by Tesla's Cybertruck, pose safety concerns in collisions with traditional vehicles. EVs, heavier due to batteries, accelerate faster and can overpower lighter vehicles, causing more severe accidents. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) warns about the dangers in mismatched collisions. The popularity of heavier EVs contributes to a longstanding trend of increasing vehicle weights in the auto industry. As EVs become more prevalent, the potential for such mismatched collisions grows. The key to addressing safety concerns involves improving charging infrastructure to reduce the need for large, heavy batteries and promote lighter EV models.

We’ll have final thoughts after this.

Leonard and Gobi will appear at the Gwinnett County Library’s Snellville Branch on December 9 at 11 a.m. The dog accompanied Leonard through challenging terrains during an ultramarathon, capturing hearts worldwide. Despite Gobi briefly going missing in China, Leonard's story of finding her garnered widespread online support.

As part of Sonny’s Kindness Crew, Jackson could donate $2,500 to the charity of her choice, and she chose Random Acts, an organization inspiring kindness globally.

STORY 4: Proposed massive apartment development must restart rezoning process after number of apartments reduced

A proposed 700-unit apartment development at Sardis Church Road and Hamilton Mill Road in north Gwinnett, which led to public backlash and legislative efforts to create a new city, has been temporarily derailed. The project's withdrawal from consideration mandates a restart of the rezoning process. Critics claimed the halving of proposed units required a fresh application. The development, adjacent to Seckinger High School, sparked community concerns about density and traffic. The setback may delay the proposal's return until February. House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration and Sen. Clint Dixon praised the withdrawal, emphasizing the need to address overcrowding and traffic issues in the area.

STORY 5: Study uncovers professional and social stigma people with acne experience

A recent study conducted in the U.S. reveals that individuals with acne, particularly those with darker skin tones and more severe cases, face significant social and professional stigma. The research, published in JAMA Dermatology, emphasizes the need to address stigmatizing attitudes and improve access to care for individuals with acne. The study found that participants were less inclined to be friends, have close contact, or share social media photos with individuals with severe acne, particularly if they had darker skin tones. The research underscores the importance of recognizing acne as a medical condition and ensuring access to appropriate treatment.

The contest, open for public voting until December 10, aims to identify the cocktail that best captures the holiday spirit. To vote for Ledbetter's Tijuana Brass, the public can visit the official contest website.

STORY 7: How much do people trust AI with their health?

A survey of 2,000 US adults found that more Americans trust social media and health care websites for health advice over medical professionals, with 53% consulting healthcare websites and 46% relying on social media compared to 44% consulting their personal doctor. The survey, commissioned by UserTesting and conducted by OnePoll, also revealed that 73% believe they have a better understanding of their personal health than their doctor does. Moreover, 67% of Americans have looked up their symptoms on an internet search engine, and 52% have given a list of symptoms to a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT for a diagnosis. Additionally, 94% of respondents own a personal smart device that can track health, and 78% are confident that AI and tech companies would protect their health information.

From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Today is Wednesday, December 6th and Happy 67th Birthday to Peter Buck

I’m Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappy Properties.

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: PEGGY SLAPPY

STORY 1: Scientists discover what causes Parkinson’s disease

A study suggests that Parkinson's disease might be prevented by targeting a certain strain of bacteria in the gut called Desulfovibrio, identified as the likely cause of the disease in a majority of cases. Researchers found that these bacteria could be detected and removed, potentially preventing Parkinson's disease. The study, conducted using a worm model organism, revealed that the specific strains of Desulfovibrio bacteria caused an accumulation of the α-synuclein protein, associated with Parkinson's disease. The findings could pave the way for screening carriers of harmful bacteria and developing measures to remove them, potentially alleviating symptoms in Parkinson's patients.

STORY 2: YARBROUGH: An Awakening on the Subject of Sleep Deprivation

According to a report by Leafwell.com, Georgia is the second most sleep-deprived state in the U.S. The study examined average nightly sleep duration and the number of internet searches for sleep-related terms, with Georgia showing a prevalence of short sleep duration in 38.2% of its population. The state's most searched sleep-related term was "sleep music." The report indicates that 6 out of 10 Georgians achieve adequate sleep. The least sleep-deprived state is South Dakota, while Hawaii tops the list. The reasons for Georgia's sleep deprivation are not specified, but the report humorously suggests it may be due to guilt about having it good compared to other states.

STORY 3: Georgia Gwinnett College information technology grad aims to use her skills in IT security

Chizoba Okeke, a graduate of Georgia Gwinnett College, is set to receive her bachelor's degree in Information Technology with a concentration in systems and security. Growing up with parents who immigrated from Nigeria, Okeke pursued her dream of working in law enforcement, inspired by her childhood goal of joining the FBI. Initially majoring in psychology with a minor in criminology, she later discovered her passion for computers and cybersecurity. Okeke participated in the Women In Technology Campus and Optiv Security Hackathon, showcasing her hacking skills. She plans to work in IT security, pay off student loans, and pursue a master's degree.

STORY 4: Gov. Brian Kemp wants to accelerate state income tax cuts

Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia announced plans to seek additional tax relief by expediting a state income tax cut adopted in House Bill 1437 last year. The bill originally outlined a reduction in the state's income tax rate from 5.75% to 4.99% over several years. Kemp's proposal aims to hasten the reductions, setting the tax rate at 5.39% in tax year 2024, offering an estimated $1.1 billion in savings to taxpayers. Kemp highlighted Georgia's commitment to tax cuts, citing $2 billion in income tax rebates, over $1 billion in property tax relief, and two temporary suspensions of the state sales tax on gasoline.

STORY 5: Inside Amazon warehouses, workers worry about risk of unsafe chemicals

At an Amazon warehouse in Tacoma, Washington, employees are reportedly handling hazardous materials without adequate training or protection, leading to safety concerns. One worker, Ellie Zingg, detailed an incident where she was asked to clean up a leaking jug of mold remover despite lacking proper training. Another citation from the Washington Department of Labor and Industries revealed that the Spokane warehouse failed to provide adequate training on handling hazardous chemicals and ensuring eye protection for workers. Leaking products, including pesticides and cleaners, pose health risks to employees who often handle them without proper safety measures in place.

Break 1: MOG

STORY 1: Republicans propose splitting Gwinnett between four congressional districts

Republicans in the Georgia General Assembly plan to split Gwinnett County among four congressional districts to comply with a federal court ruling. The proposal, unveiled by the state Senate redistricting committee, avoids creating a single district with a majority of Gwinnett County and moves 7th Congressional District Rep. Lucy McBath, a Democrat, out of her Gwinnett-based district. This follows the 2021 redrawing of McBath's previous district to be heavily Republican. The current plan aims to meet the court's order for a new majority Black congressional district in west Atlanta without sacrificing any GOP-held seats. Speaker of the House Jon Burns endorsed the proposal.

STORY 2: Primerica Employees Collect More Than 36,000 Food Items For The Salvation Army

Primerica's internal group, PULSO, exceeded its goal for the Salvation Army Can-A-Thon food drive by collecting 4,459 canned and dry food items, surpassing last year's total. The annual food drive serves as a precursor to the Salvation Army's Can-A-Thon events in metro Atlanta. Primerica, the largest contributor to the Can-A-Thon effort in the area, played a significant role in supporting the Salvation Army's pantries, contributing over 200,000 canned and dry food items in the last two years. This year's donations, though slightly below previous figures, will still make a substantial impact on the community.

STORY 3: Frosty Fun series set to entertain during the holidays in Duluth

Duluth is hosting its popular Frosty Fun series with various events, activities, and live music throughout the winter. The Winter Games on Dec. 10 will include axe throwing and frosty competitions.

The series concludes with Jack Frost's magic tricks and 2024-themed ice sculptures on Jan. 2. Live music and various activities are part of each event.

Break 2: Peggy Slappy – TOM WAGES – DTL

STORY 4: Study challenges widely held beliefs about Vitamin D and bone health

A major clinical trial conducted by researchers from Queen Mary University of London and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that vitamin D supplements do not improve bone strength or prevent fractures in children. The trial involved Mongolian children aged six to 13, a population with a high bone fracture burden and prevalent vitamin D deficiency. Although the supplements effectively raised vitamin D levels from deficiency to normal, they had no impact on fracture risk or bone strength. This finding challenges widely held perceptions about the effects of vitamin D on bone health. The study is likely to prompt a reconsideration of the impacts of vitamin D supplements.

STORY 5: Gwinnett Chamber Honors 2023 Small Business Award Winners

The Gwinnett Chamber recently held its annual Small Business Awards, recognizing exceptional business practices and entrepreneurial excellence. Ten winners were selected from 100 finalists across various categories. The Community Contributor Award went to SPARC (Single Parents Alliance & Resource Center), while Eclipse Gaming Systems received the Culture Creator Award. The Emerging Entrepreneur Award was presented to Charbel Aoun of Georgia First Generation Foundation, and the Launch Award went to Sugarloaf Wellness Center. Other winners included Danielle Hudson-Laughlin (SAGE Business Counsel), Bring The Crew, Team Ryan Automotive, NEMA, Inc., Gwinnett Entrepreneur Center, and Bin Liu of SimpleFloors.

We’ll be back in a moment.

Break 3:  ESOG - INGLES 10 – GLOW LIGHT SHOW

STORY 6: Peachtree Corners Mayor Mike Mason Highlights New City Marshals In State Of The City Address

Peachtree Corners Mayor Mike Mason addressed concerns about crime in parts of the city, particularly along major corridors, in his State of the City address. While overall safety remains better than surrounding areas, a spike in crime, especially motor vehicle thefts in the Holcomb Bridge Road and Jimmy Carter Boulevard corridor, prompted action. The city introduced its own City Marshal department, supplementing efforts by Gwinnett County Police. The Marshal Service, distinct from the police, focuses on community safety. In addition to marshals, the city has expanded its street camera program with over 50 license plate reader cameras and a camera registration system.

STORY 7: In face of threats, election workers vow: ‘You are not disrupting the democratic process’

Election workers nationwide are facing an increase in threats and harassment since the 2020 presidential election. Lies about "rigged" elections have fueled conspiracy theories, leading to threats against election workers. As a response, some states have enacted new protections and increased criminal penalties for those threatening or interfering with election workers. However, this has not prevented an exodus of election officials from their positions, leaving a gap in institutional knowledge and potentially increasing the likelihood of errors. Election offices are investing in security measures, including fortifying buildings and providing training, to ensure the safety of workers.

We’ll have final thoughts after this.
