STORY 1: Buford alum Elexa Bahr to face USWNT with Colombia after historic Women’s World Cup run
Elexa Bahr, a former Buford High School alum, has experienced a remarkable soccer journey, representing various countries in her career. After playing professional soccer in Colombia and Australia, she recently participated in the 2023 Women's World Cup as a part of Colombia's first-ever quarterfinal run. Currently playing for América de Cali in Colombia, Elexa was called up to the Colombian national team. Her ability to represent different nations, including the United States, Honduras, and Colombia, led to her becoming a key player for Colombia. Her family, including her parents, watched her games in the Women's World Cup despite the distance. Elexa's future goals include facing the U.S. women's national team and participating in the 2024 Olympics in Paris with her Colombian team. Her soccer journey has been an inspiration to her family, proving that anything is possible.
STORY 2: Prosecutors Questions Lead To Mistrial In Peachtree Corners Gas Station Murder Case
A mistrial has been declared in the trial of three suspects accused of murdering Bradley Coleman, a coach and Norcross high school graduate, during a failed carjacking in July 2022. The mistrial was declared due to actions by prosecutors during the trial. Prosecutors recalled a witness and appeared to lead her into saying her boyfriend had committed the murder, which the defense raised objections to. The judge agreed with the defense and declared a mistrial for all three defendants. The DA's Office plans to retry the case, but the mistrial may add tension to the race for district attorney in the upcoming election.
STORY 3: Lake Lanier, Coolray Field to host National Professional Fishing League finale
The 2023 National Professional Fishing League is concluding its schedule from October 26 to 28 on Lake Lanier, hosted by the Gwinnett County Sports Commission. The event includes community outreach on October 25, practice sessions from October 22 to 24, and main events from Thursday to Saturday.

The event offers a $100,000 first-place prize, and anglers are competing for the 2023 Progressive Angler of the Year title, with Todd Goade currently leading the race. The top 20 will qualify for the Championship Event in spring 2024 at Lake Amistad.

Break 2: Peggy Slappy – ESOG – TOM WAGES OBITS
STORY 4: A failure to deliver for our children
A shortage of the groundbreaking infant immunization nirsevimab is putting thousands of infants and toddlers at risk of RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) hospitalization. This monoclonal antibody prevents RSV hospitalizations by 70%, but supply constraints are limiting its availability. The only manufacturer, Sanofi, recently announced a supply shortage, even though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended nirsevimab for every child under 8 months during the RSV season. The CDC's response to the shortage is to prioritize high-risk infants. The shortage highlights systemic issues in children's healthcare, and the article emphasizes the need to prioritize child health, citing the rapid response to COVID-19 for adults and the consequences of the vaccine delay for young children.
STORY 5: New blood test can help diagnose bipolar disorder
Researchers at Cambridge University have developed a blood test to help diagnose bipolar disorder, which is often misdiagnosed as major depressive disorder. The test, used in combination with an online psychiatric assessment, identified biomarkers associated with the condition and was effective at diagnosing bipolar disorder in patients. While a psychiatric assessment is the most effective way to diagnose bipolar disorder, patients often face long waits and delays. The blood test, which is still a proof of concept, could be used to differentiate between the two disorders and provide quicker and more accurate diagnoses.

Break 3: JACKSON EMC – INGLES 9 – Lawrenceville
STORY 6: 20-year-old Shot Dead Near Gwinnett Shopping Center Over the Weekend
In the early hours of Saturday morning, a shooting investigation in Gwinnett County was initiated following a call to Northside Hospital's Sandy Springs campus. The hospital contacted police after friends brought in a 20-year-old man from Norcross with a gunshot wound. Unfortunately, the man succumbed to his injuries. Detectives believe the shooting occurred at a business along Jimmy Carter Boulevard, although the victim's identity has not been released. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact them or provide tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers, which offers a cash reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment.
STORY 7: Economic Signals: Understanding the Leading Economic Indicators
The U.S. economy presents mixed signals, with some indicators suggesting a recession while others show growth. To make economic predictions, financial analysts and economists rely on the Leading Economic Indicators (LEI). The LEI, published by The Conference Board, combines 10 data sources, both financial and non-financial, such as the S&P 500 Index, unemployment claims, and average consumer expectations. These components cover various aspects of economic activity and provide insight into future economic conditions. However, the LEI is not a perfect system, as it doesn't provide precise timing for economic changes, and indicators can fluctuate without leading to a recession. While investors can use the LEI for tactical decisions, their overall portfolio strategy should remain consistent in different economic conditions.
We’ll have final thoughts after this.
