Doing good, but doing it greater...

During the current primaries and early voting season, there are a number of races to pay attention to, along with having an understanding of what the office entails and the level of impact it has. One such office is that of Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge. And one such candidate is BT Gutter Parker (Esq.). During our recent conversation, we take time to speak about her candidacy as she is among 3 candidates running for office. At the onset, Gutter Parker provides the

Show me and I'll go; go and then show me. This full-circle quote provides the context in which the Alma Film Festival encompasses, especially from its founder and managing producer, Anthony Page. With a track record of film and related creative production spanning nearly 30 years, his leadership and vision are among the elements providing the driving force and energy behind this festival and related workings. We recently sat down to discuss the work taking place, starting w

The ECHL season (2 levels below the NHL) is a grind. After a 72 game regular season (which starts in mid-October and concludes in mid-April), of the 30 teams that are in the league, the top-16 teams (4 teams from each division) earn the right to play in another gauntlet, the postseason, along with pursuit of the league's ultimate prize, the Kelly Cup. The 1st round of the playoffs are within the division (the 1st place team plays the 4th place team while the 2nd and 3rd plac

It's April. It's Spring. And it's time to enjoy the great outdoors, not just on a weekend, but a weekday. Yes, the weekday, as next Tuesday, April 14th, is an opportunity for lovers of the game of golf along with supporting great causes can enjoy some time on the green. Just as they did last year (click HERE for our article), the Central Gwinnett High School football program is hosting their golf tournament. It takes place at the Olde Atlanta Golf Course (5750 Olde Atlan

Savannah Ghost Pirates (32-31-3-1/68 points/4th place in the ECHL South) vs Atlanta Gladiators (42-22-2-1/87 points/3rd place in the ECHL South) Tonight's game (April 7, 2026/puck drop at 7:10pm EST at the Gas South District ) between the Savannah Ghost Pirates and Atlanta Gladiators features in-state rivals fighting for something meaningful as the regular season grinds closer to its end and ushering in the postseason. The Ghost Pirates come in on a modest 2-game winning s

The ECHL season is a 72-game grind, as the regular season starts in October and concludes in April. During this time, after 57 games, the Atlanta Gladiators are within sight of one of their goals this season, which is a return to the postseason. Through a combination of one of the league's top defenses and opportune offense, the goal is in sight (however, it's likely not their only goal for the 2025-26 season). The team has won 2 of the 3 games on their current homestand an

A number of great ideas started off small, and when people and entities come together for the greater good, good things can happen. In our recent conversation with McDonough Moms, what starts off as simply seeing a need and starting off with a meeting with maybe 2 or 3 people to grow to a network of close to 20,000 people shows what persistence and presence can look like when it comes to empowering mothers and their families. By the same token, an inspiration from family exp

In case you haven't heard, 2026 is an election year on multiple levels (click HERE for our article on happenings on the state level/Georgia). And yes, to this day, politics is local; one such local election for those in Gwinnett County includes the county's Superior Court (judge), as this is the position Ramona Toole (Esq) is running for. In our conversation with her, we get a point of reference of her credentials, platform, and ways to stay informed and engaged with her ca

Conceive. Believe. Achieve. It seems pretty straightforward when it comes to formulating an idea, having the sense of getting it done, and then doing so. Building upon these and related principles is precisely what the work of the Men and Ladies of Columbia High School in Decatur, GA is all about. Combined with their leadership team and the efforts of their chief catalyst, Bobby Frazier, students who are a part of this program, along with their supporters, are doing these

In between their just concluded 3-game road trip (February 20-22, 2026) and their pending 4-game road trip (February 28-March 6, 2026 against 3 fellow ECHL South Division opponents ), the Atlanta Gladiators return home for a brief homestand (2 games) this week. Over their last 10 games, the Glads have a 5-3-1-1 record, but with losses in their last 2 games (including 1 in overtime), the team looks to keep pace with the division leading Florida Everblades and stay ahead of th
