From the Henssler Financial Studios, this is your news minute on the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast, presented by Engineered Solutions of Georgia. Today is Saturday June 10th, and I'm Brian Giffin
The Rev. R. Page Fulgham, a former pastor, has released his first book titled "Evil & The Garden of Good." The book explores the reconciliation of the existence of evil in a world with a loving God. Fulgham, who has pondered this topic since his days in theological seminary, wanted to offer a fresh perspective on suffering, particularly inspired by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 150-page book, published by Smith & Helwys, is aimed at a general audience rather than theologians, seeking to provide helpful and encouraging insights. Fulgham hopes to challenge readers' traditional thinking and generate meaningful discussions on the subject. He plans to promote the book through book signings, seminars, speaking engagements, and online marketing. While he is pleased with the initial feedback, he expects both agreement and disagreement from readers. As for future books, Fulgham remains uncertain at this point.

Gwinnett County is set to eliminate three railroad crossings with the help of federal funding. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has awarded the county approximately $888,000 as part of the Railroad Crossing Elimination Grants program. The crossings at Arcado Road, Oak Road/Gloster Road, and Hosea Road, located on the CSX rail line, will be studied for feasible construction alternatives to address safety, traffic increases, and curved approaches. Gwinnett County will provide a 20% non-Federal match for the project. Chatham County and DeKalb County were also awarded grants for their respective projects to improve multimodal communities and convert at-grade crossings to grade separated crossings. These grants are part of a larger effort by the FRA to enhance safety and address transportation needs in communities nationwide, aiming to reduce train-vehicle collisions and blocked rail crossings.

STORY 2: chamber

The Greater Eastside Chamber of Commerce is expanding its reach to include three more counties, aiming to become a regional economic stimulator for small businesses. Originally serving Snellville, Grayson, and Loganville, the chamber will now include Lawrenceville, Dacula, and cities in DeKalb, Rockdale, and Newton counties. The expansion aims to support the growth of small businesses in these areas. The chamber is undergoing strategic changes, including new branding and a robust business training and development program. Partnerships with NCG Cinemas and the Georgia Swarm lacrosse team will provide digital marketing and vending opportunities for chamber members. The goal is to foster an inclusive and sustainable business economy in north Georgia by supporting both small and large businesses.

Story 3: c.o.n.

The Georgia state Senate is actively pursuing reform or repeal of the state's certificate of need law (CON), which governs hospitals and healthcare services. A newly created Senate study committee will begin meeting in June to explore ways to reform the law. Georgia's CON law requires applicants to demonstrate the need for new medical facilities or services in a community. The push for reform or abolition of CON came through bills introduced by Senate Republicans, but they did not pass in the House. Advocates argue that eliminating CON would improve access to healthcare, while opponents express concerns about the impact on rural communities and the concentration of hospitals in wealthier areas. The House is also expected to address the issue in the coming months.

STORY 4: dance

Riley Brison, a Lilburn native and lifelong dancer, founded the Gwinnett Dance Project to provide professional dance opportunities after realizing the limited options available after college. The contemporary dance group, consisting of eight to ten dedicated dancers, focuses on modern and ballet techniques while incorporating elements of jazz funk, hip hop, and step dance. They hold auditions annually and prioritize community engagement, with two mainstage performances each year and additional events. The company also donates 10% of profits to nonprofit organizations, with a recent performance supporting mental and emotional health. The Gwinnett Dance Project is committed to outreach and has taught and performed for various community groups. More information can be found at gwinnettdanceproject.org.

Story 5: treatments

New research suggests that personalized treatments for psoriasis, a painful skin condition, may be on the horizon. Scientists have discovered that the activity of specific cells and chemicals can distinguish between mild and severe cases of psoriasis. This finding could lead to the development of more effective targeted drugs. Psoriasis, which affects millions of people in the US, occurs when the skin replaces itself too quickly. The study identified key regulators of inflammation, such as fibroblasts and macrophages, which were more common in severe cases. Understanding these molecular causes could help design personalized therapeutic approaches and shed light on related disorders like arthritis and cardiovascular disease.

Story 6: houck

Colin Houck, a two-sport standout from Parkview High School in Gwinnett, has been named the 2022-23 Gatorade Georgia Baseball Player of the Year. This marks the third consecutive year that a Gwinnett player has won the award. Houck, a senior shortstop, led his team to a state runner-up finish and posted impressive stats, including a .487 batting average, eight home runs, and 50 RBIs. He has also excelled academically with a 4.05 GPA. Houck is now a finalist for the Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year award.

As an Atlanta United Academy player, he hadn't previously played high school soccer, but he decided to join Brookwood for his senior year.

Story 5: primates

A study involving the mapping of DNA from over 800 individuals of 233 primate species has identified millions of mutations related to human diseases.

The findings revealed complex genetic relationships among primate species and shed light on the evolution of baboons. The research also suggests interbreeding occurred between early modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans. Furthermore, the study aids in conservation efforts by identifying species in need of protection. The catalog of primate genomic information has also contributed to understanding unique mutations in humans.

Story 6: cats

Cats often knock things off tables and countertops to seek attention or to play. To prevent this behavior, ensure your cat's needs are met, including sufficient food and attention. Combat boredom by regularly changing their toys and using puzzle toys for mental stimulation. Discourage them from accessing tables and countertops by making them unappealing and removing enticing items. You can also use deterrents that emit unpleasant sounds or puffs of air when the cat jumps up. These deterrents are effective as cats won't associate you with the unpleasant experience. By implementing these strategies, you can discourage your cat from engaging in this behavior.

STORY 4: scammers

In another reminder from a previous story, Gwinnett County police are warning residents about phone scams where scammers impersonate law enforcement officials to extort money. In a recent incident, a Lilburn resident received multiple calls claiming he had to pay $9,000 to clear an arrest warrant. The scammer initially posed as a Gwinnett Sheriff's Office agent and received payment in Bitcoin. Subsequent calls claimed to be from Gwinnett Police Chief J.D. McClure, but no additional transfers were made. The police department emphasizes that they will never ask for payment over the phone and advises residents to be cautious of

immediate payment demands, unsolicited calls or emails, and sharing personal or financial information. If scammed, residents should report the crime to the police and refer to the provided phone scam warning information.…….Read more about this at gwinnettdailypost.com

Story 5: primates

A study involving the mapping of DNA from over 800 individuals of 233 primate species has identified millions of mutations related to human diseases. The research provides valuable insights into the human genome and the causes of diseases. The study used a deep learning algorithm called PrimateAI-3D to analyze the genomic data. The findings revealed complex genetic relationships among primate species and shed light on the evolution of baboons. The research also suggests interbreeding occurred between early modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans. Furthermore, the study aids in conservation efforts by identifying species in need of protection. The catalog of primate genomic information has also contributed to understanding unique mutations in humans.
