Break 1: M.O.G.



STORY 1:Gwinnett Leaders Push Back Against State Superintendent's AP African-American Studies Decision

Mallory Fannin and other teachers at Central Gwinnett High School were preparing to offer Advanced Placement African-American Studies this fall when State School Superintendent Richard Woods decided against state funding for the course. This decision, announced days before the school year starts, has sparked backlash from Gwinnett County officials and education advocates. They argue that excluding the AP course undermines students' representation and educational opportunities. Critics, including state lawmakers and local board members, argue the move aligns with recent laws restricting the teaching of certain concepts. The decision could influence upcoming elections, highlighting the broader debate over educational content and representation.

STORY 2:Gwinnett Schools Down To 20 Teacher Vacancies 

With the 2024-2025 school year starting on August 5, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) has 20 teacher vacancies, a significant improvement from past years. GCPS Chief Human Resources Officer Cathy Hardin reported this is the lowest number of vacancies seen pre-school opening in years. The district, which had 71 vacancies in mid-July, has filled about 1,500 new teaching positions and hired 98% of its 2023-2024 student teachers. Additionally, all bus driver positions are filled, positioning GCPS as a leader in staffing compared to other districts.

STORY 3:Gwinnett Police Searching For Killer Of Lawrenceville Man Found Dead In His Truck

Gwinnett County police are seeking public help to identify a suspect in the murder of 40-year-old Guadalupe Garcia Rodriguez from Lawrenceville. Rodriguez was reported missing on July 1 by his wife, and his body was discovered in his truck on July 3. Police have released photos of a Hispanic male suspect in his 20s or 30s with a slim build, last seen walking on Bethesda Church Road near Hidden Dr. Anyone with information is urged to contact GCPD at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) for potential rewards.

STORY 4:Grayson grad-now in the NFL- reunites with surgeon at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

Owen Pappoe, now a linebacker for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, first faced significant injury challenges in high school when he tore his left hip labrum during a game in 2016. Despite initial fears and the need for hip surgery in early 2017, Pappoe made a swift recovery, thanks to his dedication and superior athletic conditioning. He later surprised his surgeon, Dr. Cliff Willimon, with a visit to thank him for his care. Pappoe also gave back to the community by visiting young patients at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, driven by his own family's experience with sickle cell disease. As he prepares for his second NFL season, Pappoe is focused on improving and contributing both on and off the field.

STORY 5:Gwinnett County receives 31 national achievement awards 

Gwinnett County has set a new record by earning 31 National Association of Counties (NACo) Achievement Awards for implemented programs in 2023, exceeding last year's total of 22. This is the highest number of awards the county has achieved in more than 50 years. Among the honored programs are the Affordable Housing Development Fund, Gwinnett Entrepreneur Center, and the Veteran and Family Services Center. The county also received the Best in Category Award for the Harvest Gwinnett Community Garden Ambassador Program, which promotes community involvement and addresses food insecurity through gardening. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson highlighted the county’s dedication to providing innovative and responsive services to its residents.

STORY 6:   Pesticides Can Equal Smoking in Hiking Risks for Cancer 

Recent research indicates that living in agricultural areas with high pesticide use may pose a greater cancer risk than smoking, particularly for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, and bladder cancer. The study, led by Isain Zapata from Rocky Vista University, highlights that the combined effects of multiple pesticides significantly increase cancer risk. The analysis, published on July 25, 2024, utilized data from the US Geological Survey on 69 common pesticides to estimate lifetime cancer risks. Findings show that exposure to this "pesticide cocktail" can surpass the cancer risks associated with smoking, especially in farming regions like the Midwest.

STORY 7:Ossoff’s bill banning stock trading by members of Congress clears Senate committee 

U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff’s bill to ban stock trading by members of Congress has advanced, clearing the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The legislation, co-sponsored by Sen. Mark Kelly, requires Congress members, their spouses, and dependent children to place their stock holdings in a blind trust, with fines up to their salary for violations. Ossoff argues this reform is crucial to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure fairness, given Congress members’ access to non-public information. Despite bipartisan support, the bill faces challenges in the Senate and House, but enjoys broad public backing. Ossoff aims for a Senate vote before November's Election Day.



We’ll have final thoughts after this.

U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff’s bill to ban stock trading by members of Congress has advanced, clearing the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The legislation, co-sponsored by Sen. Mark Kelly, requires Congress members, their spouses, and dependent children to place their stock holdings in a blind trust, with fines up to their salary for violations. Ossoff argues this reform is crucial to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure fairness, given Congress members’ access to non-public information. Despite bipartisan support, the bill faces challenges in the Senate and House, but enjoys broad public backing. Ossoff aims for a Senate vote before November's Election Day.
 
We’ll have final thoughts after this.

Break 1: MOG



STORY 1:Ex-Boyfriend Charged With Murder In Pregnant Gwinnett Teen’s Death

Jesus Monroy, the ex-boyfriend of a pregnant Loganville teen, has been charged with serious offenses including malice murder, felony murder, feticide, and aggravated assault. The incident unfolded when 16-year-old Mia Campos was found dead in a wooded area off Stephens Road on July 15. Her family reported her missing the night before after she left home with an unidentified person and did not return. A subsequent autopsy confirmed her death as a homicide. Monroy initially faced charges for providing false information to police but was later implicated in Campos' murder. Authorities have not disclosed further details about Monroy or his possible motives.

STORY 2:Arson Charges Filed After Fire Damages Lawrenceville Home

In Lawrenceville, three people narrowly escaped a house fire on Iron Gate Court after a neighbor called 911 just before 9 p.m. on Saturday. The fire was determined to be intentionally set, originating in a rear ground-level room. A grandson of the homeowners is accused of starting the fire, allegedly seen fleeing with gas cans by a neighbor who detained him until police arrived. The suspect faces charges of arson and aggravated assault. Fortunately, the occupants were alerted by neighbors since their home lacked working smoke detectors. Fire crews arrived to find extensive damage, including a well-involved garage and significant damage throughout the house, but all occupants were safely outside.

STORY 3:Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 66 hosts annual Cops and Kids Back-to-School Event 

Despite rainy weather, the Gwinnett Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 66 hosted its annual Cops and Kids Back-to-School Event at Shoe Carnival in Lawrenceville Market this past Saturday. The event provided 75 local children with backpacks filled with school supplies and a new pair of shoes, all funded by donations from Gwinnett citizens and local businesses. Families in need, including those with financial limitations or children under Georgia’s Medicaid, were able to apply for and participate in the event. Organizers emphasized the event's dual purpose of community outreach and ensuring children are prepared for the school year. They highlighted the emotional boost for children receiving new supplies and the positive interaction between police officers and the community. The event is part of the FOP’s longstanding initiative to support local families, with plans for future events like the Cops and Kids Christmas event. For more information or to support their cause, visit gafop66.org.

Mason Taylor, a rising star in Professional Bull Riders and member of the Nashville Stampede team, hails from a rodeo family with deep roots in the sport. He'll compete at the PBR Camping World Team Series event at Gas South Arena in Duluth, marking the series' debut in the city.
