HENSSLER 15

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

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

***12.06.23 - BIRTHDAY - PETER BUCK 'SHINEY HAPPY PEOPLE'***

I’m Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappy Properties.
Scientists discover what causes Parkinson’s disease
An Awakening on the Subject of Sleep Deprivation
Georgia Gwinnett College information technology grad aims to use her skills in IT security

Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on reflux diet.

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.

Break 2: M.O.G. – TOM WAGES – DTL

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.

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

Today is Tuesday, December5th, and Happy heavenly Birthday to Walt Disney.

*** 12.05.23 - BIRTHDAY - WALT DISNEY***

I’m Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Kia Mall of Georgia.
Republicans propose splitting Gwinnett between four congressional districts.
Primerica Employees Collect More Than 36,000 Food Items for The Salvation Army
Frosty Fun series set to entertain during the holidays in Duluth.

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: 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. Snow Mazing, an inflatable frosty maze, will be available on Dec. 19 and 20. Toboggan Tunnell, a thrilling mix of speed and adrenaline, can be enjoyed on Dec. 21-23. Other activities include the Snow Playground on Dec. 27, Giant Snow Slide on Dec. 28, and Inflatable Wonderland on Dec. 29-30. On New Year's Eve, a frosty celebration with Jessica It’s All Good will feature crafts, photo ops, and a noon drop. 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.

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: 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.
