I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia.

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 (07.14.22 KIA MOG)

STORY 1:Gwinnett Police Looking For Driver In Fatal Hit-And-Run

The Gwinnett County Police Department is seeking public assistance to solve a hit-and-run that killed pedestrian Mecha Woodard on September 27. Woodard, 24, was struck while walking in the gore zone between State Route 316 and the Boggs Road entrance ramp. The suspect vehicle, a 2019-2022 Lexus RX350 or RX 450, has damage to the front passenger-side bumper and headlight. Anyone with information should contact GCPD detectives or Crime Stoppers, where anonymous tips can earn a cash reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

STORY 2:Runners Will Paint Gwinnett Pink To Help Fight Breast Cancer

The Ninth Annual Paint Gwinnett Pink 5K Run/Walk is set for October 19 at Coolray Field, supporting breast cancer treatment at Northside Hospital Gwinnett. Participants can register until October 17, with fees at $35, or $25 for survivors. The event, starting at 9 a.m., includes vendor booths, opening remarks, and a survivor celebration. New this year, Eight Arms Axe Throwing will host an Axe Throwing for Breast Cancer Awareness event from 8 to 11 a.m., offering a unique way for participants to channel their frustrations and support the cause. Registration is available at www.paintgwinnettpink.com.

STORY 3:Longshoremen’s strike silences Georgia ports

The ports of Savannah and Brunswick remain closed due to a longshoremen's strike affecting East and Gulf coast ports. The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) demands higher pay and an end to automation from the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX). ILA President Harold Daggett criticized USMX for prioritizing profits over fair compensation for American workers. The Georgia Ports Authority stated it will reopen the ports once an agreement is reached. The strike, the first since 1977, could lead to increased prices and potential shortages as the holiday shopping season approaches.

We’ll be right back

Under faculty supervision, DPT students will provide education on injury prevention, wellness, and conduct screenings for strength, flexibility, and balance. This initiative aims to reduce injury severity and speed up dancers' recovery. Gwinnett Ballet Theatre, a longstanding nonprofit, values this collaboration for its educational and community service benefits, offering dancers convenient access to quality physical therapy at their Suwannee location.

STORY 5:Hooters of Gwinnett employees will wash cars for breast cancer research

Hooters of Gwinnett is hosting a "Give A Hoot Car Wash" on October 19 from noon to 4 p.m. at their Duluth location to raise funds for breast cancer research.

We’ll be back in a moment

The Animal Welfare's Return to Community Cat Program and all Health and Human Services senior centers will also be closed. The Tax Commissioner offices closed early on Thursday and will remain closed today.

Piedmont Eastside Medical Center is hosting a "Rock the Ribbon" event on October 16 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Snellville, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Held at the Breast and Diagnostic Center, the event will feature opening remarks by Snellville Mayor Barbara Bender and discussions with Piedmont physicians. Attendees can tour the Breast Center, enjoy tea and pastries, and participate in prize drawings.

Gwinnett Police Looking for Driver in Fatal Hit-And-Run

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 2nd

Publish Date:  October 2nd 



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

Today is Wednesday, October 2nd and Happy 73rd Birthday to Sting.

***10.02.24 – BIRTHDAY – STING***

I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia.

1.       3-Time Breast Cancer Survivor Espouses Importance of Early Detection

2.       Georgia Gwinnett College receives $400,000 for scholarships from Georgia Banking Company

3.       New State Election Rules Come Under Fire

Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food.

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: KIA MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG)



STORY 1:3-Time Breast Cancer Survivor Espouses Importance Of Early Detection

Diane Crouch, dubbed "The Comeback Kid," has triumphed over breast cancer three times. First diagnosed at 27, she overcame the disease with a lumpectomy and radiation. Two decades later, she faced a more aggressive cancer, undergoing a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and long-term medication. Earlier this year, she detected cancer early through self-checks, leading to successful treatment. Crouch emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and regular screenings. Despite her battles, she remains active and refuses to let cancer define her life, viewing it as just one of many challenges she's faced and overcome.

STORY 2: Georgia Gwinnett College receives $400,000 for scholarships from Georgia Banking Company

Georgia Gwinnett College received a $400,000 donation from Georgia Banking Company to fund scholarships for exercise science and wellness students. The scholarships, offering up to $2,000 per semester for up to four years, require a 3.0 GPA and full-time enrollment. Bartow Morgan Jr., CEO of Georgia Banking Company and GGC trustee, emphasized the generational impact of this support. The donation also enhances GGC's Corporate Affiliates Program, connecting students with business leaders. The scholarship aids students balancing work and studies, preparing them for diverse careers in health and wellness fields.

STORY 3:New State Election Rules Come Under Fire

Voting rights advocates and local election officials criticized recent rules approved by Georgia's Republican-controlled State Election Board, claiming they create unnecessary confusion and could delay election result certification. The new rules require county officials to ensure result accuracy, reconcile ballots with voter totals, and hand-count ballots on Election Night. Critics argue these changes could enable election result denial and overstep legal authority, spreading mistrust and burdening election workers. The Cobb County Board of Elections opposed the changes, calling them unnecessary. Additional board meetings are scheduled before the November 5 election.

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: Tom Wages (08.05.24 OBITS_FINAL)

STORY 4:Candidates for Gwinnett Commission District 1 will face off at forum Wednesday

Residents of Gwinnett County Commission District 1 can watch a candidate forum featuring incumbent Commissioner Kirkland Carden and Republican challenger Tim Le on Wednesday night. Hosted by the Gwinnett Place, Gateway85, and Sugarloaf Community Improvement Districts, the event will cover topics like housing, economic development, and public safety. It starts at 6 p.m. at the Sonesta Gwinnett Place Hotel in Duluth and will be live-streamed on the Gwinnett Place CID’s Facebook page. The forum, moderated by Daily Post reporter Curt Yeomans, will conclude at 8 p.m.

STORY 5:Petition calls for BioLab to be shut down in Conyers

 Residents of Conyers are demanding the closure of BioLab following a recent fire and chemical reaction that led to evacuations and a shelter-in-place advisory. A Change.org petition, citing health and safety concerns, has gathered over 2,000 signatures. The fire released a chlorine-smelling plume, affecting air quality and prompting road closures. Although air and water quality have been deemed safe, residents remain concerned due to BioLab's history of incidents, including explosions and fires. BioLab, owned by KIK Custom Products, has been in Conyers since 1972 and has faced multiple emergencies over the years.

Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG)



STORY 1:Smoke from Rockdale chemical fire prompts air monitoring in Gwinnett

The EPA began monitoring air quality in south Gwinnett County due to a chemical fire at the BioLab factory in Rockdale County, which caused a smoky haze to move northward. Monitoring stations were set up in Gwinnett, but no hazardous levels were detected. Despite 179 calls for assistance, Gwinnett officials found no environmental threat. The county's water supply remains safe, though schools temporarily halted outdoor activities. Residents reported a chlorine smell, but EPA readings were below hazardous levels. BioLab is working with authorities to address the situation, and wind shifts have altered the smoke's direction.

STORY 2:Fast-Starting Mill Creek Races Past Central Gwinnett

Mill Creek football fans watched as the team secured a 56-7 victory over Central Gwinnett, despite running back Daniel Smith not reaching 1,000 rushing yards due to short fields. The Hawks scored on seven of eight first-half possessions, leading 49-0 at halftime. Mill Creek's defense and special teams excelled, limiting Central to 42 yards in the first half. Quarterback Shane Throgmartin threw three first-half touchdowns, while backup Cannon Kiley added another. Central's only score came late in the fourth quarter against Mill Creek's reserves. The game was a Region 8-AAAAAA makeup, postponed by Hurricane Helene.

STORY 3:Woman’s blurry vision turned out to be seven brain tumors

Emma Hollick, 41, was diagnosed with seven brain tumors after experiencing blurred vision and facial numbness. Initially misdiagnosed, an MRI revealed multiple meningiomas [meh-nin-jee-OH-muhs], one pressing on her optic nerve, which was successfully removed. Emma describes living with the remaining tumors as having a "ticking time bomb" in her head, causing fatigue and anxiety. She undergoes annual MRI scans to monitor the tumors. The Brain Tumour Charity is funding research to better understand and treat meningiomas, aiming to improve diagnosis and develop targeted therapies for this common type of adult brain tumor.

Break 2: Tom Wages (08.05.24 OBITS_FINAL)



STORY 4:Gwinnett Jailer Arrested On Battery Charge

Gwinnett County Jailer Master Theresa Bell was arrested on a simple battery charge for allegedly violating Sheriff's Office policies, including using "unnecessary force." Sheriff Keybo Taylor emphasized that such conduct is unacceptable and that employees must uphold professionalism and respect. Bell, with five years of service, is on administrative leave and faces termination. A criminal investigation is ongoing, and the Professional Standards Section aims to ensure the incident's resolution serves the public's best interest. Bell was held in jail on bond as of Friday night.

STORY 5:Former North Gwinnett Coach Len Garner Remembered for Impact

Len Garner, former North Gwinnett boys basketball coach and father of current coach Matt Garner, passed away at 74. Garner's coaching career spanned over 40 years across various states and sports, including basketball, football, and track. Known for his dedication and mentorship, he influenced many players and coaches, including his son Matt, who followed in his footsteps. Garner's legacy includes leading North Gwinnett to multiple state tournaments and impacting players' lives beyond the court. He was remembered for his humor, resilience, and deep care for those around him. Garner is survived by his wife Ann and their family.
