GDP Script/ Top Stories for August 16th Publish Date: August 16th PRE-ROLL: MONSTER JAM From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, August 16th and Happy Birthday to Madonna I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Archer student donating to needy gets big surprise from Amazon Gwinnett school tax rate going down, but property owners will still owe more Author Leigh Dunlap to discuss debut book 'Bless Your Heart' at Duluth library Plus, the Stripers report with pitcher Dane Dunning 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: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Archer student donating to needy gets big surprise from Amazon  Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that spark the biggest change. Nehemiah Hamilton, a senior at Archer High, used to dream of coding the next billion-dollar app. But after diving into community programs like Gwinnett’s Youth Commission and interning for Dacula’s mayor, his focus shifted. He didn’t just want to make millions—he wanted to help millions. So, he started “The Little Things,” a fundraiser to buy essentials low-income families often go without: detergent, toiletries, underwear, umbrellas. Especially umbrellas. Nehemiah set a modest goal—$500. Two weeks later, he’d raised over $2,000. Then, Amazon stepped in. After Gwinnett Chairwoman Nicole Love-Hendrickson shared his story on LinkedIn, Amazon’s Georgia community affairs lead, Terreta Rodgers, showed up with a truck. Literally. 3,600 items. Triple his donation. Nehemiah’s not stopping. He’s thinking about Morehouse, public service, maybe even running for office someday. But for now? He’s extending his fundraiser and calling on others to step up. STORY 2: Gwinnett school tax rate going down, but property owners will still owe more The Gwinnett County Board of Education voted Wednesday to lower the property tax rate by nearly half a mill—sounds like good news, right? Not so fast. Even with the drop to 20.15 mills, many property owners will still see higher tax bills, thanks to rising property values. Board Vice Chair Tarece Johnson-Morgan wasn’t thrilled, casting the lone “no” vote. Meanwhile, residents like Kay Vickers didn’t hold back. She slammed the board for firing two superintendents in four years (with pricey buyouts) and ignoring overcrowding at schools like Grayson High. The board’s decision followed three public hearings, but the tension? Far from over. STORY 3: Author Leigh Dunlap to discuss debut book 'Bless Your Heart' at Duluth library Mark your calendars: On Wednesday, Aug. 20, at 6:30 p.m., the Duluth Branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library will host Leigh Dunlap, author of the debut novel Bless Your Heart. The event, moderated by Iranian-American writer Samira Shakib-Bregeth, promises a lively discussion about family, reinvention, and the quirks of Southern hospitality—or lack thereof. Dunlap, best known for penning A Cinderella Story (yes, the one with Hilary Duff), brings her screenwriting chops to the page. She splits her time between South Carolina and South Kensington and has also written The Standoff and 16-Love. For details, visit gwinnettpl.org.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 7 STRIPERS INTERVIEW Break 3: MONSTER JAM STORY 6: Three family members guilty of pandemic fraud A man from Pelham, Georgia, has been found guilty of wire fraud in a pandemic relief scam that roped in his family. Tyreek Brown, 28, now faces up to 30 years in prison, five years of supervised release, and a $1 million fine. Sentencing? TBD. His co-conspirators, Sherronica Jackson, 38, and Alan Brown, 52, both pleaded guilty and will be sentenced Nov. 12. Here’s the deal: Jackson snagged a $20,207 PPP loan in 2021, claiming a fake $97,000 income. She then helped Alan and Tyreek secure fraudulent loans for businesses that didn’t exist. Tyreek even sent her $3,000 after cashing in. STORY 7: Georgia unemployment rate down to 3.4% Georgia’s unemployment rate dipped to 3.4% last month, down just a tick from June’s 3.5%, according to the state Department of Labor. For context? That’s well below the national rate of 4.2%. But here’s the twist: while unemployment dropped, the state actually lost 500 jobs, leaving the total just shy of 5 million. Gains in health care (+2,800), manufacturing (+2,700), and construction (+2,100) couldn’t offset losses in food services (-4,500) and transportation (-1,400). Meanwhile, Georgia’s labor force grew slightly, with 732 more people joining in July.

The Fat One closes out the week with numerous apologies to Str8 Bob before opening more cards and giftettes and recapping his day in Fat Acres. Happy National Lemon Meringue Day.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 15th Publish Date:  August 15th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, August 15th and Happy Birthday to Joe Jonas I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal 39th Annual Marietta Art in the Park is Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 Marietta school board eyes AI guidelines in new technology plan Cobb officers recognized after saving children from 117-degree car Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on Food Apps All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles Markets 2 STORY 1: 39th Annual Marietta Art in the Park is Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 For three days over Labor Day weekend, Marietta Square transforms into a vibrant hub of creativity for the 39th annual Art in the Park festival. With over 200 fine artists, live music, kids’ activities, and even chalk art, it’s a can’t-miss event for art lovers and families alike. The Artist Market will feature works in every medium imaginable: oil, acrylic, pottery, jewelry, photography, and more. Artists will be on-site to chat about their process, and the beloved Painted Pots display returns with its stunning ceramic creations. For kids (and the young at heart), the Chalk Spot street art experience is back, hosted by Marietta High School’s Visual Arts Program and GPB. On Aug. 30, kids can claim a three-foot square of pavement for $10 and create their own masterpiece. Supplies and fair tickets are included while they last. Families can also explore Children’s Art Alley, packed with free crafts and games, plus face painting and sand art for a small fee. Hungry? Marietta Square’s restaurants will be open, and Glover Park Brewing will serve cold brews. Live music at the gazebo, sponsored by the North Georgia State Fair, will keep the energy high—bring a blanket or chair to relax and enjoy. The festival runs Aug. 30–Sept. 1, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with free admission. Parking is available at Marietta City Hall and nearby lots. For details, visit artparkmarietta.com. STORY 2: Marietta school board eyes AI guidelines in new technology plan The Marietta Board of Education is mulling over a new tech plan for 2025-2028, and it’s got some big ideas—AI guidelines, faster internet, and better tools for teachers. Jennifer Hernandez, the district’s academic achievement director, summed it up: “It’s about using tech to support teachers, not replace them.” The plan, shaped by feedback from teachers, parents, and community members, focuses on three areas: infrastructure, access, and support. Infrastructure? Think faster internet, updated equipment, and federal E-rate funding to keep it all running. “We don’t want to fall behind,” said tech director Torey Bradley. Access includes making learning platforms like Schoology easier to use and figuring out how to teach students and staff to use AI responsibly. Support will include a new professional learning hub with bite-sized training videos and resources for teachers and parents. The board plans to vote on the plan at its next meeting. STORY 3: Cobb officers recognized after saving children from 117-degree car  Cobb Police officers were recognized at the Georgia Capitol this week for saving two kids trapped in a sweltering car. On June 4, in the Cumberland Mall parking lot, bystanders spotted a boy and girl locked inside a vehicle and called 911. Officers arrived fast, smashed a window, and pulled the kids out. The car’s internal temperature? A staggering 117 degrees—on an 87-degree day. Gov. Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp commended the officers for their heroic actions. “This is what happens when citizens and officers work together,” the department shared on Facebook. The children’s guardian, J’quawn Dixon, was arrested and charged with leaving them in the car for 41 minutes without air conditioning. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: COBB INT. FESITVAL STORY 4: Oregon Park to get new restroom, pickleball courts Oregon Park’s getting a serious glow-up, with $850,000 in upgrades greenlit by the Cobb Board of Commissioners. The unanimous vote tapped into Commissioner Keli Gambrill’s capital contingency fund—each commissioner gets $1 million for district projects. Gambrill called the improvements a “huge, huge impact.” What’s coming? Better ADA access, a much-needed extra restroom (parents, rejoice), and four new pickleball courts to add to the existing six. “Pickleball’s booming,” Gambrill said. The park, already a hotspot with baseball fields, tennis courts, and disc golf, sees over 13,000 kids for baseball alone. No timeline yet—officials are still ironing out details with the contractor. STORY 5: OUT AND ABOUT: 5 things to do this weekend in Cobb County — Aug. 15 - 17 Get ready for a packed weekend, folks—there’s something for everyone. First up, the Pigs and Peaches BBQ Festival is back in downtown Kennesaw this Friday and Saturday. Think smoky barbecue, live music, and all the good vibes at Depot Park. Admission? Free. But if you want to taste-test the BBQ, snag a ticket—$21 in advance, $25 day-of. Friday runs 6–10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–10 p.m. Prefer disco over ribs? The Cobb Energy Centre hosts “The Concert: A Tribute to ABBA” Friday at 8 p.m. Expect all the hits—“Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia”—and maybe some seat-dancing. Tickets start at $57. For indie fans, D4VD hits the Coca-Cola Roxy Friday night on his “Withered World Tour.” Doors open at 7 p.m., show at 8. Tickets? $54. Want something low-key? Cobb County PARKS wraps up its summer series Friday at The Art Place in Marietta with End of the Line, a bluegrass band. Gates open at 6 p.m., and it’s free—just bring a blanket and a picnic. And don’t miss the Smyrna Handmade Market on Sunday, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., with 60+ vendors selling everything from local honey to handmade soaps. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on Food Apps We’ll have closing comments after this.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 13th Publish Date: August 13th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, August 13th and Happy Birthday to Mark Lemke I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Kennesaw man suspected in CDC shooting reportedly fixated on COVID vaccine Cyclists celebrate Cobb Silver Comet extension Cobb Young Professionals names Next Generation Award winners All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 1 STORY 1: Kennesaw man suspected in CDC shooting reportedly fixated on COVID vaccine Mourners gathered outside the CDC’s Atlanta headquarters Monday, leaving flowers, balloons, and handwritten notes at a makeshift memorial for Officer David Rose, who was killed in Friday’s shooting. A large cardboard sign with Rose’s photo was covered in messages—“Thank you for your service,” “You’re a hero.” DeKalb officers R.E. Ramsey and J. Nelson, who worked with Rose, stopped by to pay their respects. “He was just a great person,” Nelson said quietly. The shooting unfolded Friday afternoon when Patrick Joseph White, 30, of Kennesaw, opened fire near the CDC campus. White, reportedly distraught over his dog’s death and blaming the COVID vaccine for his depression, tried to enter the CDC but was stopped by security. He then drove to a nearby CVS and began shooting. Officer Rose, a Marine veteran and father of two with another child on the way, responded to the call. He was critically injured and later died at Grady Memorial Hospital. The CDC, Emory University, and local law enforcement have increased security measures in the wake of the attack. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe for Rose’s family has raised over $235,000. The investigation continues, with the GBI calling the scene “complex” and evidence collection ongoing. STORY 2: Cyclists celebrate Cobb Silver Comet extension The Silver Comet Trail was alive with energy Saturday as hundreds of cyclists hit the pavement to celebrate the long-awaited trail extension and raise awareness for multiple sclerosis. The new 2.1-mile Silver Comet Connector, funded by the PATH Foundation, links Cobb County to Atlanta, weaving through East-West Connector, Plant Atkinson Road, and along Atlanta Road to the Chattahoochee River. It’s a big step toward a dream: a continuous path connecting Atlanta to Alabama. Riders gathered at the Floyd Road Trailhead, led by Mableton Councilwoman Patricia Auch, while Team Noodle—a group raising funds for MS research—started their 17.5-mile trek from Atlanta. Volunteers greeted riders with water, bananas, and goodie bags at the finish, while Cobb County leaders celebrated the milestone. “It’s the future,” Auch said. “When it’s fully connected, it’s going to be incredible.” For Roberta Cook, who’s spent 20 years advocating for this extension, the day was emotional. “I’m just so glad I lived to see it,” she said. Cyclist Cecelia Saxon summed it up: “The camaraderie, the exercise, the trees—it’s all just beautiful.” STORY 3: Cobb Young Professionals names Next Generation Award winners Cobb Young Professionals announced Adam Ross and Natalie DeLancey as the 2025 Next Generation Award winners on Monday—and honestly, it’s not hard to see why. Ross, who’s been with the Cumberland CID for six years, has done everything from securing millions in state funding for a pedestrian bridge to launching One Cumberland, a nonprofit expanding the district’s mission. “He’s shaping Cobb’s future,” said Chamber spokeswoman Amy Selby. DeLancey, meanwhile, runs the City Springs Theatre Company, pulling off a $3 million budget and reaching 50,000 patrons annually. Oh, and her students? They’ve snagged $10.5 million in scholarships this year alone. For more, check out cobbchamber.org. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: COBB INT. FESTIVAL STORY 4: Man charged with burglary after entering school with knife, drug paraphernalia Dusty Gene Beals, from Eatonton, is facing some serious charges after allegedly breaking into Pebblebrook High School in the middle of the night—1:04 a.m. on Aug. 5, to be exact. According to a Cobb County Police warrant, Beals was caught with a folding knife (blade over two inches) and a glass pipe typically used for smoking meth. He’s now charged with second-degree burglary, having a weapon on school property, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Oddly enough, his name doesn’t show up in jail records, leaving a few unanswered questions about his whereabouts. STORY 5: Loudermilk, McBath talk Trump at chamber luncheon Monday’s Cobb Chamber luncheon brought U.S. Reps. Lucy McBath and Barry Loudermilk to the stage—separately, of course—to share their starkly different takes on the Trump administration. McBath, speaking first, didn’t hold back. She slammed federal funding cuts to gun violence prevention programs, calling them part of a “wider rollback” that’s hurting communities. As a mother who lost her son to gun violence, her words carried weight. She also criticized Trump’s tariffs and healthcare policies, calling his second term chaotic. Loudermilk, on the other hand, praised Trump’s vision of a “golden era” for America, rooted in what he called “American exceptionalism.” He compared it to the Wright brothers’ era—bold, innovative, and unafraid to challenge the status quo. Loudermilk emphasized smaller government and individual rights as the key to a thriving economy. Two lawmakers, two visions—one room full of opinions. Break: STORY 6: Atlanta Ballet to have Balanchine & Peck The Atlanta Ballet is kicking off its 2025-26 season with Balanchine & Peck, a stunning mixed-rep performance that blends the timeless genius of George Balanchine with the fresh, modern creativity of Justin Peck. Running Sept. 12-14 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, the program features three works: the romantic Emeralds, the bold and abstract In Creases, and the iconic Prodigal Son. Artistic Director Gennadi Nedvigin, celebrating his 10th season, calls it the perfect opener. “Prodigal Son is deeply personal to me—it’s the role that changed my career,” he shared. Tickets are available at atlantaballet.com or the venue box office. STORY 7: Man accused of attacking officer with steel pipe at Marietta Hilton Joseph Wilhoit, 33, of Marietta, is facing some serious charges after a chaotic encounter with police on Aug. 6 at the Hilton Atlanta Marietta Hotel. According to the arrest warrant, things escalated fast. When an officer informed Wilhoit he had warrants and was under arrest, he didn’t go quietly—he pulled away, grabbed a six-foot steel pipe, and swung it at the officer. He missed, thankfully, but the two wrestled for several minutes before Wilhoit finally let go of the pipe. After his arrest, officers found 10 grams of meth in his pocket. Wilhoit remains in custody, charged with aggravated assault, obstruction, and drug possession. No bond. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Top Stories for August 12th Publish Date: August 12th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, August 12th and Happy Birthday to Pete Sampras I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Does GCPS make the grade? Central Gwinnett grad to compete in international Deaflympics games in Tokyo Lanier Education Foundation awards $20K to Cluster schools, funds two scholarships 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 and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Does GCPS make the grade? “Get a good education.” We’ve all heard it a million times, right? But what does that even mean anymore? And how’s Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) holding up under the weight of that promise? Well, it’s complicated—like, really complicated. COVID flipped everything upside down. Kids learning on screens, parents suddenly hyper-aware of what’s being taught, teachers scrambling to adapt. It wasn’t pretty. And now? GCPS is still untangling the mess: learning loss, absenteeism, behavior issues. But they’re trying. Social workers, behavioral coaches, literacy plans—it’s all part of their “Blueprint for the Future.” Progress? Sure. Perfection? Not even close. Education’s messy. Always has been. Always will be. STORY 2: Central Gwinnett grad to compete in international Deaflympics games in Tokyo Tawnecia Rush has been wearing hearing aids since she was 9. Conversations? She’s got them down—sharp focus, expert lip reading, and the occasional “Pardon?” when she needs something repeated. But on the basketball court? It’s like a whole different language—fluid, instinctive, no barriers. Growing up in Lawrenceville, she honed her skills playing with her dad and brothers at the Boys & Girls Club, eventually suiting up for Central Gwinnett High. Now, two decades later, she’s earned a spot on the USA Deaf Women’s Basketball team, heading to Tokyo for the Deaflympics this November. “This is huge,” Rush said. “A chance to compete against the best, no limits, no excuses.” Her drive didn’t stop on the court. After two years at Gallaudet University, immersed in deaf culture and basketball, she transferred to Kennesaw State to finish her marketing degree. STORY 3: Lanier Education Foundation awards $20K to Cluster schools, funds two scholarships The Lanier Education Foundation just handed out $20,000 to the schools in the Lanier Cluster—split evenly, of course—and also funded the Lanier Leadership Conference and the Cluster’s multilingual programs. Oh, and two Lanier High grads, Kori Joseph (now at Georgia College & State) and Gabryelle Walker (Kennesaw State), each snagged a $1,000 “Make A Difference” Scholarship. It’s a little financial boost for students heading to college, trade school, or wherever their next chapter takes them. The Lanier Cluster includes Lanier High, Lanier Middle, and three elementary schools: Sugar Hill, Sycamore, and White Oak. Want to help? Visit laniereducationfoundation.org. 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: Ingles Markets 5 STORY 4: Man dead after shooting at Snellville area home Gwinnett County Police are digging into a deadly shooting that went down Friday night in unincorporated Snellville, leaving one man dead. It happened around 7 p.m. on the 3900 block of Lee Road. A call came in about a dispute—then gunfire. When officers arrived, they found a man with gunshot wounds and tried to help. He was rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it. One person was detained at the scene and is being questioned. Police say it’s a homicide investigation, but the motive? Still unclear. The victim’s name hasn’t been released yet—next of kin need to be notified first. If you know anything, call Gwinnett detectives at 770-513-5300. Prefer to stay anonymous? Hit up Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or stopcrimeATL.com. There’s even a cash reward for tips that lead to an arrest. STORY 5: Lawrenceville mourning death of former City Manager Bob Baroni Lawrenceville is mourning the loss of Bob Baroni, the city’s first-ever manager and a man who dedicated more than four decades to shaping the town he loved. Baroni, 80, passed away Tuesday. Baroni wore many hats—parks and rec director, city clerk, and finally city manager. He oversaw projects like the construction of City Hall and was known for his steady leadership and fiscal smarts. Even after retiring in 2015, he stayed on as a consultant to help the city transition. “We’ve built a family here,” Baroni said at the time. His funeral was held Saturday at Tim Stewart Funeral Home in Loganville. He was laid to rest at Oconee Memorial Park in Watkinsville. Break: STORY 6: Gwinnett Sheriff's Office looking at expanding county jail The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is eyeing a big change—expanding the jail with a new tower. Why? Well, the current setup is showing its age, and the inmate population has jumped 35% since 2021. That’s a lot of strain on a facility that’s been around since 1991. Chief Deputy Cleo Atwater told the county’s budget review committee on Wednesday that it’s time to secure funding for this project. The newer Wimbley Tower, built in 2006, has seen updates—control boards, cameras, even door indicator lights—but the older building? It’s stuck in the past. Reinforced doors with security flaps? Not possible. And with 2,400 inmates now (up from 1,800), plus the need for better mental health and medical care spaces, the pressure’s on. Atwater says they’re committed to making this happen by 2026. STORY 7: 'Great bargains' —Kidsignments is back this week at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds The Kidsignments sale is back at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds this week, running through Saturday—and if you’ve got kids, you need to check it out. Organizer Jeri Lynn gets it: “Times are tough, and we’re thrilled to help parents stretch their dollars. Over 1,000 families are participating, so the selection is going to be amazing—everything from baby gear to teen clothes, toys, bikes, you name it.” It’s all gently used, high-quality stuff—perfect for sustainable parenting without breaking the bank. Seriously, don’t miss it. For details, head to kidsignments.com. Your wallet will thank you. We’ll have closing comments after this.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 8th Publish Date:  August 8th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, August 8th and Happy Birthday to Roger Federer I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Charges dropped against man accused in Cobb Walmart kidnapping case Cobb hosts annual night of unity between residents and public safety officials Traffic stop in Austell leads to meth trafficking charges Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on peaches All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 1: Charges dropped against man accused in Cobb Walmart kidnapping case After months of stress, accusations, and uncertainty, Mahendra Patel is finally free. On Wednesday, prosecutors dropped all charges against the Cobb County man, who had been accused of attempting to kidnap a toddler at a north Cobb Walmart back in March. Patel, who spent 45 days in jail and lost 17 pounds surviving on bread and peanut butter, called the ordeal “a punishment in itself.” His mugshot? Still everywhere. His reputation? Shattered. But now, at least, he can breathe. Surveillance footage, which Patel’s attorney Ashleigh Merchant said was key to clearing his name, showed Patel briefly interacting with the child’s mother, Caroline Miller, while searching for Tylenol. What prosecutors initially called an attempted kidnapping was, in Patel’s words, “a misunderstanding blown out of proportion.” A Change.org petition supporting Patel gathered over 92,000 signatures, and even inmates who once threatened him apologized after reading about his case. STORY 2: Cobb hosts annual night of unity between residents and public safety officials Badges, block parties, and a whole lot of community spirit filled Jim Miller Park for Cobb County’s National Night Out. Since 1984, this nationwide event has been all about building bridges between public safety officers and the people they serve. And on Tuesday night? It was all smiles, dunk tanks, and even axe throwing. Families wandered through booths from the Cobb Sheriff’s Office, Fire Department, 911 dispatchers, and more. Kids laughed, parents asked questions, and stuffed K-9 toys were sold to support the real-life furry officers. For Zanetia Henry, the night was personal. After losing her son Dre to gun violence in 2019, she’s dedicated herself to uniting communities through her nonprofit, Operation Recovery. “Unity takes everyone,” she said, presenting awards to officers who’ve gone above and beyond. Cobb Police Capt. Jason Best, reflecting on his 28 years of service, said it best: “We usually see people at their worst. Tonight, we get to just talk—no tickets, no arrests. Just people connecting.” STORY 3: Traffic stop in Austell leads to meth trafficking charges  Jack Randall Roberts, 68, and Justin Daniell Roberts, 30, both from Gay, Georgia, were arrested on July 31 after police allegedly found them with about a kilogram of methamphetamine. It all went down around 4 p.m. at the intersection of Garrett Road and C.H. James Parkway in Austell. Jack, driving a 2008 Ford Focus, reportedly stopped too far past the stop line—an innocent enough mistake, right? Except during the traffic stop, officers discovered the drugs, according to the warrant. Both men were booked into the Cobb County jail that evening. No bond. No release. Just a whole lot of trouble. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: COBB INT. FESITVAL STORY 4: Expect lane closures as Atlanta Gas Light begins major pipeline work Atlanta Gas Light is gearing up to kick off the Wade Green Road Phase II Pressure Improvement Project this month—a big deal for Cobb and Cherokee counties. The plan? Lay down 5.5 miles of new natural gas pipeline. Construction crews will be working near Moon Station Road, Baker Road, Woodstock Road, and Highway 92, Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Heads up: expect lane closures and some traffic headaches through late 2025, with cleanup stretching into spring 2026. The city says the project will boost system reliability during high demand and create jobs. Got questions? Check out atlantagaslight.com or email wadegreen@southernco.com. STORY 5: Community Colleges of Appalachia sign transfer agreement with WGU Leaders from Community Colleges of Appalachia (CCA) and Western Governors University (WGU) just inked a deal that could be a game-changer for Appalachian students. The agreement lets residents earn WGU’s accredited online degrees and certificates without leaving their hometowns—no uprooting, no long commutes. CCA, with 85 member colleges from Mississippi to New York (including five in Georgia), is all about serving local communities. This partnership? It’s about making higher education more accessible. Graduates and employees of CCA schools can transfer credits to WGU, skip redundant coursework, and even apply for $3,000 Learn Where You Live Scholarships. WGU’s flexible, competency-based programs—spanning business, tech, healthcare, and education—are designed for busy lives. Tuition? About $4,000 per six-month term, and students can tackle as many courses as they’re ready for. For details, check out ccofapp.org or wgu.edu.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of August 8th Publish Date: August 8th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, August 8th and Happy Birthday to Roger Federer I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Federal loan to help finance Georgia 400 toll lanes Mass shooting wounds five soldiers at Fort Stewart Developer looking to build industrial park near Ball Ground Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on peaches We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: COBB INT. FESTIVAL STORY 1: Federal loan to help finance Georgia 400 toll lanes Georgia 400’s getting a major upgrade, and the federal government just handed over a massive $3.89 billion loan to make it happen. It’s the biggest loan ever awarded under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA), and it’s all going toward adding toll lanes in Fulton and Forsyth counties. The project, a $4.6 billion public-private partnership, will add two toll lanes in each direction along a 16-mile stretch—from the North Springs MARTA station to just north of McFarland Parkway. Expected to open in 2031, the lanes could save drivers 15 minutes per trip and cut crashes by 8%. Gov. Brian Kemp called it a win for Georgia’s transportation network, while Javier Gutierrez, CEO of SR400 Peach Partners, said the loan is a “game-changer.” Oh, and there’s a transit twist: $75 million will go toward bus rapid transit improvements along the corridor. Optional tolls, faster commutes, and a nod to public transit—progress, right? STORY 2: Mass shooting wounds five soldiers at Fort Stewart  Chaos broke out Wednesday morning at Fort Stewart, southwest of Savannah, when five soldiers were shot in the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area. The alleged shooter, Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 28, was apprehended by 11:35 a.m., thanks to nearby soldiers who tackled and subdued him before law enforcement arrived. Radford, who used a personal handgun, has no combat history but does have a recent DUI on his record. The victims, initially treated on-site, were later transported to Winn Army Community Hospital. Two were sent to Savannah’s Memorial Health for advanced care. All are stable and expected to recover, according to Brig. Gen. John Lubas. Gov. Brian Kemp and Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock expressed their prayers and support for the victims and the Fort Stewart community. The base went into lockdown within minutes, though it was lifted an hour later, except for the combat team complex. Investigators are still piecing together how Radford got the gun onto the base—and why he did it. STORY 3: Developer looking to build industrial park near Ball Ground Cherokee County leaders are gearing up for a public hearing in September to decide whether a developer can build 10 office and industrial buildings near Ball Ground. The Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on Aug. 5 to schedule the hearing for 6 p.m. on Sept. 16 at the Cherokee County Conference Center in Canton. The developer, Ball Ground Business Park, LLC, wants to rezone 69 acres on East Cherokee Drive from residential and office use to light industrial. The plan? Ten buildings, 325,000 square feet total, with 330 parking spaces. The developer insists the light industrial zoning won’t bring noise or odors, but the Planning Commission has already recommended denying the request. Commission Chairman Harry Johnston, however, isn’t sold on the denial. “It’s across from the landfill—the largest east of the Mississippi—and next to a wastewater plant. Industrial use seems logical,” he said, pushing for the additional hearing. Access to the site would include driveways on East Cherokee Drive and Cokers Chapel Road, with deceleration lanes planned to manage traffic. 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: HISTORY CHEROKEE STORY 4: Cherokee County leaders vote to hold property tax rates steady The Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to keep property tax rates steady for 2025, holding the maintenance and operations (M&O) millage rate at 5.153 mills. Fire services will stay at 2.888 mills, and the parks bond rate drops slightly to 0.26 mills, for a total of 8.301 mills. Even with no rate increase, rising property values mean the county will collect more tax revenue. For a $500,000 homestead property, that’s about $35.88 more than the rollback rate. Residents voiced concerns about budget cuts, especially to the sheriff’s office, during public hearings. “Don’t tax us into foreclosure,” one resident pleaded. Cherokee still boasts one of the lowest millage rates in metro Atlanta, with the parks bond expected to be paid off by 2029. STORY 5: Woodstock officials celebrate the groundbreaking for Little River Park Woodstock finally broke ground Tuesday on the long-anticipated Little River Park—a project that’s been years in the making. Spanning 110 acres, it’ll be the city’s largest park once finished, complete with a scenic trail hugging Little River, a lake for fishing and kayaking, and plenty more. The land, tucked along Trickum Road, was purchased back in 2017. Fast forward to 2023: 87% of voters said “yes” to a parks bond, giving the city the funds to speed things up. In June, the council approved an $8 million contract to get construction rolling. If all goes as planned, the park opens in late 2026.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 6th Publish Date: August 6th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, August 6th and Happy Birthday to David Robinson I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Gem City Porch Jam on Maple Avenue is Aug. 10 Cobb Youth Leadership announces 2025-2026 Class Suspect charged with breaking into Delk Road Marriott rooms All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 9 STORY 1: Gem City Porch Jam on Maple Avenue is Aug. 10 The Gem City Porch Jam is back, and it’s pure Marietta magic. On Aug. 10, from 4 to 7 p.m., Maple Avenue transforms into a block party with a purpose—celebrating the first responders and city workers who keep this town running. Picture it: live music spilling from five porches, kids bouncing in a jumpy house, and neighbors chatting over drinks from Meltyard. There’s even a “Touch a Truck” setup (yes, Barney the Police Dog will be there) and a mobile skate rink courtesy of Sparkles. Admission’s free, but donations? Strongly encouraged. Every dollar helps fill Community Appreciation Bags for Marietta’s everyday heroes. STORY 2: Cobb Youth Leadership announces 2025-2026 Class The Cobb Youth Leadership program just announced its 2025-2026 class, and wow—this group is stacked with talent. Sponsored by the Leadership Cobb Alumni Association and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, CYL is all about building leadership skills and connecting students across the county. Here’s the lineup: Karmen Smith (Allatoona), Chimamanda Akano and Andrew Vincent (Campbell), Austin Richardson (Harrison), and a whole crew from Hillgrove—Gabby Oden, Ashley Bass, Reagan Bass, Jocelyn Jones, and Jordana Valdez. Marietta High? They’re bringing the squad: Chloe Herrero, Jack Ison III, Caleb Johnson, Rhodes Patrick, and more. This program, running since 1989, gives juniors a chance to dive into their community and grow as leaders. Got questions? Hit up Katie Guice at 770-859-2334. STORY 3: Suspect charged with breaking into Delk Road Marriott rooms Bradley Dekover Traylor, 44, of Atlanta, found himself in hot water after allegedly breaking into multiple rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott on Delk Road. It all went down early—around 8 a.m. on July 26, according to Marietta police. From Room 318, he reportedly swiped a Michael Kors watch, a black-and-silver cross necklace, and a gold necklace. The guest gave police a detailed description of the stolen items, and hotel staff pointed them toward Traylor. By 1:33 p.m., officers tracked him down at the Shell Station on Delk Road—with the jewelry still on him. He’s now sitting in Cobb County Jail, no bond. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: COBB INT. FESTIVAL STORY 4: End of an era: Roswell Street congregation to join Woodstock church Roswell Street Baptist Church, once a powerhouse in Marietta and a cornerstone of the Southern Baptist community, is starting a new chapter—one that’s bittersweet for many. After years of decline, the church will merge with First Baptist Woodstock, becoming its second location. The numbers tell the story: membership dropped from 9,200 in 2014 to just 3,600 last year. Weekly attendance? Down to 433. The church even had to demolish its historic chapel. Starting Sunday, Christian Norman, an associate pastor from Woodstock, will step in as Roswell Street’s new pastor. The merger will take six months to finalize, with a full relaunch planned for 2026—complete with a new name that nods to Roswell Street’s history while embracing its future. STORY 5: Cobb super kicks off school year with visit to Vaughan Elementary First day of school vibes were in full swing at Vaughan Elementary on Monday, and Cobb Schools Superintendent Chris Ragsdale made the rounds to wish students a great year ahead. Over 105,000 students and 17,000 staff returned across 113 schools, but at Vaughan, the Rockets were already soaring—literally reciting their motto: “Rockets of Vaughan soar on!” In Kelli Connor’s second-grade class, kids prepped for Ragsdale’s visit by comparing his traits to the mischievous “No David!” from David Shannon’s book. (Spoiler: Ragsdale’s character won out.) During a press conference—fielding questions from students, not reporters—Ragsdale praised Cobb’s teachers as “superstars” and touched on AI, new safety measures (hello, Vapor Wake K-9s), and the upcoming cell phone restrictions. Break: STORY 6: Mayor Tumlin to run again, serve through grandchildren’s eyes Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin is running again—though, if you ask him, it wasn’t exactly his idea at first. But with three longtime council members—Andy Morris, Grif Chalfant, and Johnny Walker—stepping down, Tumlin, 78, felt a sense of duty. Born and raised in Marietta, Tumlin’s roots run deep. His six grandkids are either in Marietta schools or just graduated, and he says that perspective—seeing the city through their eyes—shapes his leadership. As for his challengers, 23-year-old Sam Foster and 26-year-old Sully Diaz, Tumlin’s ready to defend his record. On affordable housing, he’s all about balance. “If it’s not livable, it’s not affordable,” he said. The election’s set for November 4, with early voting starting October 14. STORY 7: 'No teeth': Mableton’s code enforcement waits on court Mableton took over its own code enforcement back in March, but there’s a snag—no municipal court yet to back it up. Without one, fines for violations? Not happening. The city’s first-ever municipal court is expected to open in “three to six months,” says spokesperson Gregory Woods. Until then, code enforcement is doing what it can, issuing about 160 violation notices a month. Compliance? Just 30% so far, though Woods says that’ll improve once the court’s running. The city’s working fast to get the court operational. They’ve already hired a court administrator, Mallory Minor, and are recruiting for key roles like judge and prosecutor. Once open, the court will focus on the worst violations first. For now, Mableton’s educating residents on compliance and resources. The court, when ready, will be at 1245 Veterans Memorial Highway. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break: INGLES 9 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.

Top Stories for August 5th Publish Date: August 5th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, August 5th and Happy Birthday to Neil Armstrong I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Gwinnett Tech program helps fill critical need for respiratory therapists Mercer Earns Commitment from Hebron Christian's Devon Caldwell School is back in session for Buford, Gwinnett students 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 and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett Tech program helps fill critical need for respiratory therapists Now more than ever, respiratory therapists are essential—hospitals, clinics, assisted-living facilities, you name it. They’re the ones keeping people breathing, literally. And Gwinnett Tech’s Respiratory Care program? It’s leading the charge. In just 14 months, students can earn an associate degree and step into a field where demand is sky-high. The program’s no joke—12-hour clinical shifts, classroom work, and prepping for national board exams. Grueling? Sure. But worth it. The accolades speak volumes: national awards, a 100% credentialing success rate, and partnerships with top hospitals. Classes start in January. Ready to make a difference? STORY 2: Mercer Earns Commitment from Hebron Christian's Devon Caldwell Hebron Christian’s Devon Caldwell is heading to Mercer University, making his commitment official on Sunday. And honestly? Mercer’s getting a star. Last season, Caldwell was unstoppable—1,458 rushing yards, 23 touchdowns, plus 12 catches for 121 yards and another score. Oh, and did we mention he helped lead Hebron to its first-ever state championship? Yeah, no big deal. But here’s the kicker: the guy’s not just a beast on the field. He’s rocking a 4.4 GPA. How does he even sleep? Mercer’s not just getting an athlete—they’re getting a leader, a workhorse, and, let’s be real, probably a future team captain. STORY 3: School is back in session for Buford, Gwinnett students August is here, and with it comes the bittersweet end of summer break. Sure, the heat’s still relentless, but for kids in Gwinnett County and Buford, it’s back to the grind—school’s in session. Buford students kicked things off Friday, while Gwinnett students headed back on Monday. This year, safety’s a big focus. Gwinnett’s adding weapons detection systems and more resource officers, while Buford’s enforcing clear book bags—no stickers allowed. Meanwhile, schools are getting upgrades: new labs, fresh roofs, and even a cafeteria makeover. Oh, and 15 schools have new principals. Drivers? Slow down. School zones are watching. 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: Ingles Markets STORY 4: William Byron saves fuel to the max in suspenseful NASCAR Cup win at Iowa Chaos, cautions, and a whole lot of fuel-saving magic. That’s how William Byron snagged his second win of the season Sunday at the Iowa Corn 350. Seriously, 144 laps on one tank? At a track where 100 laps is the norm? Unreal. Byron held off Chase Briscoe, Brad Keselowski, and Ryan Blaney in a nail-biter finish, crossing the line 1.192 seconds ahead. His No. 24 Chevy? It ran dry during the burnout—talk about cutting it close. Seven cautions in the final stage helped Byron stretch his fuel, while Briscoe and Keselowski couldn’t quite catch him. Next up? Watkins Glen. The Playoff race is heating up. STORY 5: Once the magnet that fueled Gwinnett’s growth, the Gwinnett County Public School System is working to get back on an even keel In 2014, Gwinnett County Public Schools snagged its second Broad Prize for Urban Education—a big deal, recognizing schools that lift up low-income and minority students. Only Gwinnett and Houston, Texas, have won it twice. But that was then. Since those glory days, Gwinnett’s changed—more people, more diversity, and a political shift that flipped the school board from Republican to Democratic control. With new leadership came new policies, and, well, growing pains. Critics point to leadership turnover (two fired superintendents in four years), discipline issues, and lagging reading scores. Supporters? They say the system’s evolving, not crumbling. Interim Superintendent Al Taylor is trying to steady the ship. “Stability doesn’t mean stagnation,” he says. The challenges are real—teacher retention, class sizes, absenteeism—but the board insists students remain the focus. School starts this week. The work continues. STORY 6: Eli White homers twice as Braves take checkered flag in Speedway Classic Eli White? Man, he was on fire. Two homers—two!—to push the Braves past the Reds, 4-2, in this wild Speedway Classic at Bristol. Baseball at a racetrack? Sure, why not. The game actually started Saturday but got paused—bottom of the first, no less. Sunday? Clear skies, no drama, just baseball. Oh, and history: first MLB game in Tennessee. Crowd? Supposedly 91,000 tickets sold, but Sunday’s turnout? Let’s just say it wasn’t packed. White crushed a three-run bomb in the fifth, then a solo shot in the seventh. Six homers this season now. Hurston Waldrep, fresh from Triple-A, snagged the win. His MLB debut? Solid—5 2/3 innings, one run. Raisel Iglesias? Nails in the ninth for save #14. The Reds? They had chances—loaded the bases in the eighth—but couldn’t cash in. STORY 7: ART BEAT: Norcross Gallery and Studio's 'Drawing Attention' attracts regional exhibiting artists Gwinnett’s arts scene? It’s more than just local flair—it’s a magnet, pulling in folks from all over. And the stories behind the art? They’re what make it sing. Take Haiqi Carr, for example. Born in Shanghai, she carried her love of art halfway across the world. But it wasn’t until she landed in Atlanta—thanks to her husband’s job—that she finally gave herself permission to dive in. “I’d spent my life checking boxes—daughter, wife, mom. Art? That was for later,” she said. “Then one day, I just… started.” Fast forward: her charcoal portrait, Yamaguchi, is now in Norcross Gallery’s “Drawing Attention” exhibit. It’s a nod to Yamaguchi Momoe, a Japanese icon from Carr’s childhood. “Her smile—it’s pure nostalgia for me,” Carr shared. The exhibit runs through Aug. 23. Go see it. Seriously. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break 4: Ingles Markets Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Enjoy the day ladies.

The Fat One is back with a recap of the first part of his weekend which is almost as long a story as as the “Shell” story… and this one isn't over yet. Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookrie Day.

So, tell me about yourself. The most dreaded question ever. We rarely take the time to think through our narratives. Our focus should be on how they make us feel and how they make others feel. Being a good storyteller means learning to edit out the details that bog down the story. Think light and sweet, with a hint of mystery—aka omission. This week, we talk about turning down the floodlight so your potential partner can only see your confidence and inner knowing. In the relationship reading (00:12:13), you're getting to know this person. It looks like your person is very busy. Be patient. Don't overthink or overwhelm this budding relationship with all your details and trauma. When you get this person's time, be a break from their hustle. Make it fun and lighthearted. Happy Birthday, Leos! We end with Leo Season Horoscopes (00:35:11). Enjoy the last days of summer. Soak up the vitamin D while we have it in abundance. This season on the Sun Card! Happiness abounds if you tap into it! ⚠️ These are performances and for entertainment purposes only.
