MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 15th Publish Date:  October 15th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, October 15th and Happy Birthday to Mario Puzzo I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Commissioners to appoint Ferrell police chief Oct 28 Popular cotton candy food truck opens first location in downtown Acworth Cobb Elections Board seeks pay raise, citing increased workload 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: Commissioners to appoint Ferrell police chief Oct 28  The Cobb Board of Commissioners is set to make interim Police Chief James Ferrell’s role permanent on Oct. 28, with a vote followed by his swearing-in. Afterward, Ferrell will meet with community members, the county announced Monday. Ferrell, who stepped in as interim chief after Stuart VanHoozer’s April retirement, has been recommended by County Manager Jackie McMorris. While Chair Lisa Cupid initially considered Erika Shields, former Atlanta and Louisville police chief, as a candidate, the focus has shifted to Ferrell. Support for Ferrell is strong, with Commissioner Keli Gambrill and the Georgia Fraternal Order of Police backing his appointment. STORY 2: Popular cotton candy food truck opens first location in downtown Acworth After years of spinning sugar on the go, Gimme That Sugar has finally found a home. Lynn and Phil Lafferty, the couple behind the beloved cotton candy business, just opened their first storefront in Acworth on South Main Street. What started as a pandemic project—a tiny cart, a dream, and a lot of trial and error—has grown into a local favorite. “We had no idea people would love fresh cotton candy this much,” Lynn said. The shop serves their signature spun-to-order cotton candy (on glow sticks, if you’re feeling fancy), plus shaved ice, milkshakes, and more. “It’s surreal,” Lynn added. “A childhood dream come true.” STORY 3: Cobb Elections Board seeks pay raise, citing increased workload   The Cobb County Board of Elections is asking for a big pay bump—over 200%—citing the growing workload and expectations placed on its members. Right now, the board chair gets $200 a month, and members get $150. That’s it. Those rates haven’t changed since the early ’90s, back when meetings were short and infrequent. Now? They’re meeting two or three times a month, often for hours, plus prep work, state meetings, and more. The board wants $600 monthly for the chair and $500 for members. Some commissioners agree a raise is overdue but think the jump might be too steep. 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 FALL FESTIVAL STORY 4: Sheriff’s office donates sneakers to middle schoolers  The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with No Bull Apparel on Oct. 8 to deliver nearly 100 pairs of sneakers to students at three Cobb middle schools—Garrett, Lindley, and Pearson. Chief Deputy Rhonda Anderson and other CCSO leaders personally handed over the shoes, a gesture aimed at supporting kids who need it most. “It’s about more than sneakers,” one official said. “It’s about showing these students we care.” The sheriff’s office thanked No Bull Apparel for stepping up and investing in Cobb’s youth, calling the partnership a meaningful way to build community and promote wellness. STORY 5: Marjorie Taylor Greene sounds alarm over expiring health care subsidies as shutdown continues As the government shutdown drags on, Georgia’s congressional delegation is locked in a messy blame game. Then there’s Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene—doing her own thing. She’s breaking with her party, slamming both sides over skyrocketing health care costs. “I’m carving my own lane,” she posted online, saying premium hikes will hit her kids and her Northwest Georgia constituents hard. Meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans are at each other’s throats. Democrats blame GOP leadership for the shutdown, while Republicans insist it’s not about health care—it’s about funding the government. And the health care crisis? Still looming, unresolved, and deeply personal for Georgians. Break: STORY 6: Square Threads owner Boozer McClure leads fundraising in Ward 3 bid    Local business owner Boozer McClure has taken the lead in fundraising for the three-way race to replace retiring Ward 3 Councilman Johnny Walker. McClure, who owns Square Threads on Marietta Square, has raised $30,000, outpacing city planner Daniel Gaddis ($26,000) and retired educator Nora Gaudet ($12,500, including loans). Despite raising the most, McClure has spent less than his opponents, leaving him with over $21,000 in the bank. His donors include attorneys, developers, and local restaurateurs, with notable contributions from The Barnes Law Group ($2,500) and Mac’s Chophouse owner Randy McCray ($1,000). Election Day is Nov. 4. STORY 7: Chalktoberfest’s 13th year draws thousands of guests, 100 artists Chalktoberfest took over Marietta Square last weekend, and honestly? It was pure magic. Streets became canvases, with 100 artists from all over—Italy, Mexico, Ukraine—turning pavement into masterpieces. “It’s like the Super Bowl of chalk art,” said Erika Thurkins, who’s been coming for seven years. This time, she drew Jane Goodall, calling her a “huge inspiration.” Meanwhile, Heather Cap brought the ’80s back with a portrait of John Candy as Barf from Spaceballs. “It’s silly, it’s nostalgic—it’s perfect,” she said. The art? Temporary. But that’s the beauty—it’s here, then gone. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Top Stories for October 14th Publish Date: October 14th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, October 14th and Happy Birthday to Dwight Eisenhower I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Falcons serve up support for breast cancer fighters at Dazzle & Dine event Beckles to deliver keynote address at KSU Fintech Hackathon Pipe Dream: Retired teacher Ken Leach upcycles PVC into marine life art 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: Falcons serve up support for breast cancer fighters at Dazzle & Dine event Zach Harrison stood at the hibachi grill, spatula in hand, a crowd of phones aimed at him like it was game day. “More veggies?” he asked, flipping a perfect scoop onto a plate. The crowd? Lost it. On last Tuesday night, five current and five former Falcons swapped helmets for aprons at Fumi Hibachi & Sushi in Duluth, cooking dinner for ten women who’ve battled breast cancer. “It’s a dope event,” said running back Tyler Allgeier. “Seeing their smiles—it’s awesome.” The night, part of the Falcons and Emory Healthcare’s Dazzle & Dine, wasn’t just about food. It was about celebrating resilience. Alexandra French, cancer-free for five years, said, “Tonight reminded me I’m still beautiful, still here, still me.” The women, treated to massages, makeovers, and a shopping spree earlier, walked into the restaurant on a pink carpet, greeted by applause and players ready to grill. From fire volcanoes to flying rice, the players brought their A-game. STORY 2: Beckles to deliver keynote address at KSU Fintech Hackathon State Rep. Arlene Beckles, is set to speak to over 200 students later this month at Kennesaw State University’s Fall 2025 Fintech Hackathon. The event, running Oct. 24-25 at the KSU Center, challenges students to tackle real-world fintech problems—think payment security, compliance headaches, and cybersecurity. Beckles, a member of the Georgia House’s Technology and Infrastructure Innovation Committee, will deliver the keynote, emphasizing the role of young innovators in Georgia’s “Transaction Alley.” The Hackathon offers cash prizes—$4,000 for first place, $3,000 for second, and $2,000 for third—judged by fintech pros and academics. STORY 3: Pipe Dream: Retired teacher Ken Leach upcycles PVC into marine life art Ken Leach didn’t plan on becoming an artist. After 35 years teaching and coaching in Gwinnett County schools, he retired in 2022, unsure of what was next. Yard work? Sitting around? Not his style. Then, while cleaning out his basement, he stumbled on a forgotten gift—a Japanese swan made from PVC pipe, given to him decades ago by a student’s dad. That swan sparked an idea. Now, Leach transforms surplus PVC into lifelike egrets, flamingos, manta rays, and more. His work isn’t cartoony—he’s all about realism, except for the bold, eye-catching colors that make his pieces pop. At Suwanee Fest, his booth won the Mayor’s Choice Award, and he nearly sold out. Leach’s art isn’t just about creativity—it’s about purpose. He’s keeping PVC out of landfills, sourcing materials from plumbers, Facebook Marketplace, and even a guy with a 50-foot trailer full of pipe. Next up? The North Georgia Apple Festival, where he’s expecting 100,000 visitors. For more on PVSea Creations, check Facebook or Instagram, or email pvseacreatures@gmail.com. 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: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Housing Matters: Rainbow Village gala, golf tournament raise nearly $750,000 Skyrocketing rents and relentless demand are pushing people to the brink—some into overpriced hotels, others into homelessness. It’s a crisis, plain and simple. But in Duluth, Rainbow Village is fighting back. Their 20th annual gala and charity golf tournament raised an incredible $749,807 this year. The football-themed “Tailgate to Tackle Homelessness” event, hosted by Northside Hospital, featured mascots Freddie Falcon and Lil’ Fred, a mobile bar, and Emmy-winning sportscaster Ernie Johnson as emcee. Former resident Shakia S. shared how Rainbow Village’s support helped her become a medical assistant. And CEO Melanie Conner announced a bold expansion: 36 new apartments, doubling their capacity. Next up? A pickleball fundraiser on Nov. 15. Details at rainbowvillage.org/events. STORY 5: Solar power and data centers a focus for Public Service Commission candidate Peter Hubbard, a solar power advocate running for Georgia’s Public Service Commission, stood alone at last Wednesday’s debate—literally. His opponent, Republican Fitz Johnson, didn’t show. “Why didn’t you have the courage to defend your six rate hikes in two years?” Hubbard asked, staring into the camera. “And what’s your plan to lower power bills?” The PSC, a five-member board, oversees electricity, gas, and telecom providers. Hubbard is challenging Johnson for an abbreviated term in District 3, a race born out of a lawsuit that delayed elections and argued statewide voting diluted Black voters’ influence. Hubbard criticized current policies, claiming they favor data centers—huge energy consumers—at the expense of regular customers. He pushed for solar and battery storage as cheaper, more sustainable solutions. The election is Nov. 4, with local races likely driving turnout. STORY 6: Mill Creek Topples Collins Hill in Overtime Thriller For the second year in a row, Collins Hill and Mill Creek went to war in the second half. But this time, the Hawks walked away with the win. In overtime, Mill Creek’s Carson Hurter snagged a clutch interception, setting up Jayde Beasley’s two-yard, game-winning touchdown run. Final score: 20-14. Chaos on the field. Mill Creek quarterback Anderson Ragone threw for 193 yards and two touchdowns, while Beasley pounded out 158 rushing yards. Collins Hill’s A.J. Bush threw for 352 yards and two touchdowns but was picked off twice, including the game-sealer. STORY 7: ART BEAT: Stone Mountain Chorus presents 'A Music Man Showcase' at Red Clay Theatre “Seventy-six Trombones.” You hear it, and you’re already smiling, right? That iconic tune—and plenty more from The Music Man—is coming to Duluth on Oct. 26. If you’re into barbershop harmony or just need a feel-good Sunday, this is your ticket. The show kicks off at 3 p.m. at the Red Clay Music Foundry, a cozy 260-seat venue with top-notch sound and lighting. Expect a full lineup: four quartets, the full chorus, and even a Harold Hill stirring up “Trouble” in River City. Plus, Rontray Miller II—a rising star in choral music—will conduct. It’s barbershop, nostalgia, and pure joy rolled into one. We’ll have closing comments after this.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 11th Publish Date: October 11th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, October 11th and Happy Birthday to Steve Young I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films House Republicans consider more funding for public health Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat 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: Fernbank Museum set to premiere 2 new Giant Screen films This fall, Fernbank Museum is serving up two epic adventures on its Giant Screen Theater—stories that’ll stick with you long after the credits roll. First up, “Wild Rescue” (premiering today Oct. 11). It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, where bobcats, pelicans, and other injured animals get a second shot at life. Think animal ER, but with jaw-dropping cinematography and a whole lot of heart. Then there’s “Secrets of Great Salt Lake” (opening Nov. 8). Mammoths, saber-toothed cats, ancient floods—it’s a wild ride through time, showing how water shapes life, from the Rockies to the Great Salt Lake. Both films are included with general admission. Don’t miss it. STORY 2: House Republicans consider more funding for public health   Georgia’s public health system is at a breaking point, lawmakers were told Tuesday. Federal funding is drying up—COVID-era dollars are gone, grants are shrinking, and the Congressional budget mess isn’t helping. State funding has increased over the years, but it’s not enough. Per-person spending has dropped from $97 in 2012 to just $74 today, said Leah Chan of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. Rural areas? They’re hit hardest—fewer resources, fewer workers, and the looming threat of hospital closures. Advocates made it clear: public health programs save money and lives. Vaccinations, lead abatement, substance abuse prevention—they all reduce preventable deaths and boost the economy. Lawmakers listened, but what’s next? No one’s saying yet. The committee has until Dec. 1 to make recommendations. STORY 3: Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Hosts 40th Anniversary Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat   Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church in Duluth is throwing a big party, and everyone’s invited! To celebrate 40 years, they’re hosting a Community Carnival and Trunk or Treat on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the back parking lot. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s packed with stuff for the whole family—think decorated trunks, games, face painting, a bounce house, raffle baskets, a fall photo booth, snacks, drinks, and, of course, candy. Lots of candy. They’re also asking guests to bring canned or nonperishable food to stock their Little Free Pantry, helping neighbors in need. Come for the fun, stay for the community vibes. 3700 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth. 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: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Man and woman killed in domestic shooting near Lawrenceville Gwinnett police are piecing together what happened Wednesday morning in a tragic domestic incident that left a man and woman dead in a home near Lawrenceville. Officers were called to the 600 block of Clearwater Place around 9:40 a.m. after someone reported a shooting. Inside a bedroom, they found the two victims—both dead from apparent gunshot wounds. A gun was recovered at the scene, but the Medical Examiner’s Office will confirm the exact cause of death. Detectives aren’t searching for suspects, but they’re interviewing witnesses and combing through evidence. The victims’ names haven’t been released yet, as police are notifying family. Anyone with information can call detectives at 770-513-5300 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Cash rewards are available for tips leading to an arrest. STORY 5: Grayson Football Heads into 15-Day Break with Dominant Win Grayson’s freshman quarterback, Deuce Smith, is making this whole “starter” thing look easy. Filling in after Travis Burgess’ season-ending injury, Smith threw *five* first-half touchdowns Thursday night, leading the Rams to a 58-10 demolition of Rockdale County. Grayson wasted no time. Josh Thomas ripped off a 62-yard run on the first play, and two snaps later, Smith hit Saif Bin-Wahad for a quick 7-0 lead. By the end of the first quarter? 34-7. Even the reserves got in on the action. Junior Tre Crum ran in a touchdown, and freshman Jojo Watts electrified the sideline with a 50-yard punt return score. Grayson, now riding a 22-game win streak, has 15 days to prep for South Gwinnett. Break 3: STORY 6: GCPS names 25 semifinalists for Teacher of the Year Gwinnett County Public Schools just announced the 25 semifinalists for the 2027 Teacher of the Year award, narrowing down an impressive field of 141 local winners. These educators—spanning elementary, middle, and high schools—are now in the running for the district’s top teaching honor. The big moment? January 29 at 6:30 p.m., when GCPS will host a banquet to celebrate all local school Teachers of the Year and crown the county’s best. This year’s semifinalists include standout teachers like Marquiesha Pless Morris (2nd grade, Baggett Elementary), Kelly Swanson (AP Psychology, Brookwood High), and Cindy Quinlan (Entrepreneurship, Phoenix High). The full list of semifinalists showcases the incredible talent shaping Gwinnett’s classrooms every day. STORY 7: Shiloh Grad Michael Nash Remembered Fondly in Gwinnett, Dunwoody It took Michael Nash a while to figure out where he belonged. Coaching and teaching weren’t on his radar at first. After graduating from Shiloh High in 1992, he tried college football, worked in his parents’ business, even moved out of state to build houses. But life has a funny way of steering you back. One day, his old friend Ed Shaddix, then principal at North Gwinnett High, called him up. “Are you ready yet?” Shaddix asked. And that was it. Nash, in his 30s, with a wife, two kids, and bills to pay, went back to school. He worked at North, coached under Bob Sphire, and earned his degree. It wasn’t easy, but it was the start of something bigger. Nash’s coaching journey took him from Shiloh to Dunwoody, where he spent 10 years rebuilding a struggling program. When he arrived, there were 17 players, no facilities, and barely $20,000 in the budget. But he got to work—weight training, nutrition programs, camps, fundraising. Slowly, the team grew to over 120 players, with a budget in the hundreds of thousands. It wasn’t just about football, though. Nash believed in loving his players, in making them better people. He coached lacrosse and baseball when the school needed him. He helped kids with problems at home. In February, Nash left Dunwoody to coach at Chattahoochee County, closer to family. Tragically, he passed away on October 3 after emergency surgery. He was 51. A memorial service will be held October 12 at Dunwoody Baptist Church. To support his family, visit the GoFundMe page in his honor.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 10th Publish Date:  October 10th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, October 10th and Happy Birthday to Van Halen I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal The Georgia Ballet presents Dracula Kent leads fundraising in Marietta Council race Two students arrested for bringing weapons, drugs onto South Cobb High campus Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting 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 6 STORY 1: The Georgia Ballet presents Dracula The Georgia Ballet is kicking off its 65th season with something deliciously dark—Dracula. Running Oct. 23–26, 2025, at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre in Marietta, this marks the company’s first-ever production of the gothic classic. Choreographed by Norbe Risco (of Kentucky Ballet Theatre fame), the ballet dives into Bram Stoker’s eerie world of moonlit castles, restless spirits, and, of course, the seductive Count himself. Jonathan Harker’s business trip? Yeah, it spirals into a nightmare of terror and temptation. Under Artistic Director Daet Rodriguez, The Georgia Ballet continues to push boundaries, blending tradition with bold, new works. Heads up: this one’s not for the little ones—recommended for ages 12+ due to its mature themes. Oh, and here’s a fun touch: Hamp & Harry’s will be serving up themed cocktails in the lobby. Performances are limited, so grab your tickets soon at georgiaballet.org or call 770-528-0881. STORY 2: Kent leads fundraising in Marietta Council race Councilman Carlyle Kent is leading the money game in the Ward 5 race for Marietta City Council, outpacing both former Councilman Reggie “Game Changer” Copeland and retiree Kenneth Wright. As of the latest fundraising deadline, Kent’s pulled in over $7,880—far more than his opponents, who’ve both pledged to keep their campaigns under $2,500. Kent’s spent about $3,800 so far, leaving him with $4,082 in the bank. His expenses? Campaign staples like shirts, yard signs, postcards, and even a $955 video camera. Notable backers include former Gov. Roy Barnes ($1,500), ex-Councilman Johnny Sinclair ($250), and a mix of local business owners, church leaders, and community figures. Kent even chipped in $400 himself. The final fundraising deadline is Oct. 25—just ahead of the Nov. 4 election. STORY 3: Two students arrested for bringing weapons, drugs onto South Cobb High campus  Cobb Police arrested two students after finding weapons and drugs in a car parked at South Cobb High School last Friday. Inside the vehicle? A loaded gun with 14 rounds, two knives, a THC vape, and less than an ounce of marijuana. Jentry Henson, of Austell, and Kensley Merriweather, of Powder Springs, now face multiple charges, including felony drug possession and carrying weapons in a school safety zone. Merriweather was also charged with an additional felony for allegedly having a THC vape on her. Both teens, born in 2008, were released on bond—$16,720 for Henson and $27,720 for Merriweather. The school district emphasized there was no threat to the community and encouraged parents and students to use the district’s anonymous tip line to report concerns.

What started in 2013 with 20 artists has exploded into a global event, featuring 100 artists from places like Italy, Mexico, and Ukraine. Each artist is sponsored by local businesses—so many, in fact, that organizers had to turn some away this year. And the impact? Huge. Executive Director Sally Macaulay says the festival brings $5.2 million to the city and national recognition to the museum. Sunday’s community chalk competition lets kids (ages 9–17) join the fun, while Saturday’s beer festival offers 120+ brews. Tickets for the beer fest are $55 at the door or $50 online in advance. New this year? Aerial performers will dazzle the crowd with acrobatic routines. Street closures start Friday afternoon, so plan ahead. And the weather? Perfect—sunny and mid-70s all weekend.

STORY 5: Cobb, Marietta Teachers of the Year honored with handprints in Walk of Honor On a crisp fall day in Glover Park, two extraordinary teachers left their mark—literally. Hailey Howdyshell of Marietta City Schools and Amanda Dillard of Cobb County Schools unveiled their handprints on the Teacher Walk of Honor, surrounded by cheering students, proud families, and teary-eyed colleagues. “This isn’t just about me,” Howdyshell, a first-grade teacher, said. “It’s about the kids, my mentors, my team—everyone who’s shaped me.” Dillard, a special education teacher at Pope High, reflected on her journey: “I never planned to teach, but my students showed me why I was meant to.” She’s known for her relentless dedication, helping kids of all abilities find their version of success. The ceremony, part of the Cobb Chamber’s monthlong celebration, will wrap up with a pep rally and a car giveaway for the honorees. But for these two, the real reward is the impact they make every single day. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting We’ll have closing comments after this.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of October 10th Publish Date: October 10th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, October 10th and Happy Birthday to Van Halen I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Work to start this month on Canton Creek pedestrian bridge Cherokee County leaders OK $5M contract for CATS building Cherokee County adopts $438 million budget for 2026 Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting 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: Ingles Markets 7 STORY 1: Work to start this month on Canton Creek pedestrian bridge Big changes are coming to the Sunnyside community this month, starting with a new pedestrian bridge over Canton Creek. The city says the project will make the area safer for its many walkers and cyclists—something that’s been a long time coming. Thanks to a $2.2 million grant from the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget, funded by the American Rescue Plan, Canton can finally kick off improvements in this busy corridor along Hickory Flat Highway and Marietta Road. The new bridge? A 160-foot weathering steel beauty, built just for pedestrians. No cars, no chaos—just a safe, scenic crossing. Meanwhile, the old bridge will stay open for vehicles until a replacement is built. Construction starts soon, and the city’s already acquired nearby properties to make way for the upgrades. Sunnyside’s future? Looking bright. STORY 2: Cherokee County leaders OK $5M contract for CATS building Cherokee County is moving forward with a long-awaited upgrade for its transit system. On Oct. 7, commissioners approved a $5.1 million contract with Place Services, Inc. to build the new Cherokee Area Transit Service (CATS) headquarters at Univeter and Pinecrest roads. The new facility? It’s a big deal—offices, dispatch, a driver training room, parking for 50 buses, and even a propane fueling station. The current space is bursting at the seams, so this project is designed to handle CATS’ needs for the next 20 years. Construction starts soon and should wrap up in about a year. Most of the funding—80%—comes from a Federal Transit Administration grant, with the rest covered by local SPLOST funds. This is phase two of the project. Phase one, which included site prep and stormwater work, wrapped up in September. STORY 3: Cherokee County adopts $438 million budget for 2026 Cherokee County just locked in its 2026 budget—$438.6 million. Sounds massive, right? But according to Chairman Harry Johnston, it’s as lean as it gets. Here is Cherokee County Commission Chair Harry Johnston on the budget. CHAIRMAN HARRY JOHNSTON CLIP. The only big addition? A $1.4 million incentive program for sheriff’s deputies to reward education and certifications—an effort to keep them long-term. Public safety eats up over half the general fund, with $73.6 million going to the sheriff’s office alone. Other highlights? $59.3 million for fire services, $9.8 million for parks, and $2.9 million for senior services. SPLOST funds will cover big projects like courthouse expansion, road improvements, and even an airport runway extension. And here’s the kicker: no tax hikes. For the full 511-page breakdown, check out cherokeecountyga.gov. 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: INGLES 7 STORY 4: Canton council to vote on contract to build new park  Canton’s South Canton Park is one step closer to reality, with city leaders set to vote on a construction contract Oct. 16. The bids are in—eight of them, ranging from $7.6 million to over $12 million—and, as Mayor Bill Grant put it, “It’s state of the art... and not cheap.” The park, planned for 2939 Marietta Highway (near Dairy Queen), will be packed with features: two playgrounds (one for little ones, one for bigger kids), dog parks with splash pads, a boardwalk, walking trails, a small amphitheater, and even a “listen and chill lawn.” Food trucks? Yep, there’s space for those too. The city snagged a $2.2 million state grant to help fund the project, with the rest coming from SPLOST and impact fees. Residents weighed in on the design last spring, and while the original concept included a zipline, that’s been scrapped. Once the contract’s signed, the city will finalize the timeline. Stay tuned—this park’s going to be a game-changer. STORY 5: Cherokee County Football Power Rankings - Week 9  The Cherokee County football power rankings are heating up as we head into Week 9. Here’s where things stand: River Ridge (6-1, 3-1)The Knights came off their bye week swinging, shutting out Riverwood 35-0. Camden Cox? A beast—102 rushing yards and a TD on just 11 carries. Add in turnovers from Sam Vincent (INT) and Harris Deriso (forced fumble), and this team looks sharp. They host Sprayberry this week in what could be a region-deciding showdown. Sequoyah (6-1, 3-1)No Rajecki? No problem. The Chiefs crushed Lassiter 32-0, with QB Kolby Martin throwing for 259 yards and 3 TDs. Brooks Darling and Jack Ripley stepped up big. They face Woodstock next, a team they’ve beaten four straight times. Woodstock (5-2, 3-1)The Wolverines barely escaped Pope, winning 20-14 behind QB Graham Burmeister, who’s been lights out all season (1,420 yards, 15 TDs). They’ll need him at his best against Sequoyah this week. Creekview (3-4, 3-1)Don’t sleep on the Grizzlies. They nearly upset Sprayberry in OT last week and have clawed their way back after an 0-3 start. With Pope up next, they’re poised to stay in the playoff hunt. Etowah (3-4, 1-2)The Eagles fell to North Paulding but showed flashes, especially QB Zeke Douglass (91 rushing yards) and WR Walker Hughes (118 receiving yards). They’ll look to rebound against Wheeler. Cherokee (1-6, 0-3)It’s been a tough season for the Warriors, but Brandon Hamilton continues to shine, rushing past 1,000 yards on the year. With Walton and North Cobb looming, the road ahead doesn’t get any easier.

1 / 4 MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 8th Publish Date: October 8th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, October 8th and Happy Birthday to R.L. Stine I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal 1. Man falsely accused of Walmart kidnapping reportedly seeking $25 million in damages 2. Atlanta tenor Timothy Miller launches St. Catherine’s community concert series on Oct. 19 3. Roger Hines publishes debut book 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 7 STORY 1: Man falsely accused of Walmart kidnapping reportedly seeking $25 million in damages Mahendra Patel just wanted to help. That’s what he thought he was doing back in March at a Walmart in Acworth—helping a woman he assumed was disabled, struggling to manage two kids in a motorized cart. Instead, he was accused of trying to kidnap her child. What followed was a nightmare: Patel was arrested, denied bond, and spent 46 days in jail. He lost 17 pounds, endured threats from inmates, and was denied his medication. All for what? A misunderstanding. Surveillance footage later cleared his name, showing Patel calmly shopping, finding Tylenol, and leaving the store. Now, he’s suing Acworth for $25 million. STORY 2: Atlanta tenor Timothy Miller launches St. Catherine’s community concert series on Oct. 19 Mark your calendars: local tenor Timothy Miller will take the stage at St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church in Marietta on Oct. 19 at 3 p.m. as part of The Friends of Music concert series. You’ve probably heard Miller’s powerful voice before—maybe during the seventh-inning stretch at a Braves game, belting out “God Bless America.” But his talent goes far beyond that. From Verdi’s Aida to Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, and even Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Miller’s resume is as impressive as it is diverse. The concert is free (yes, free!), with donations welcome. No tickets needed—just show up early for a good seat. STORY 3: Roger Hines publishes debut book 2 / 4 Roger Hines has released his first book, The Hard and the Beautiful: Life in a Family of Seventeen Children, and it’s as heartfelt as the title suggests. In this memoir, Hines—child number 16 of 17—paints a vivid picture of growing up in rural Mississippi. Life was tough: tenant farms, cotton fields, and the weight of poverty. But it was also rich, thanks to faith, laughter, and the unshakable love of his parents, Walter and Levie Hines. “Poverty doesn’t have to be a dead end,” Hines says. “We were poor, but we were rich in all the ways that matter.” The book is available now on Amazon and at local retailers. 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: INGLES 7 STORY 4: Police: Intoxicated man made false bomb threat at Johnnie MacCracken’s James E. Lusk, 29, of Marietta, allegedly called in a fake bomb threat to Johnnie MacCracken’s Celtic Firehouse Pub late on Sept. 26—because, according to police, he was drunk and angry. Not exactly a great combo. The arrest warrant also claims Lusk grabbed a woman by the arm during the incident, leaving her in pain. He was arrested three days later and charged with simple battery, false public alarm, and filing a false crime report. Lusk spent a few hours in the Cobb County jail before being released on Sept. 30 on a $10,000 bond. STORY 5: Home Depot hosts Kidde’s Cause for Alarm Home Safety Event On Oct. 4, Kidde teamed up with The Home Depot and iHeartMedia to host a lively fire safety event at The Home Depot on Roswell Road in Marietta. Part of Kidde’s Cause For Alarm campaign, the day was all about raising awareness for fire and carbon monoxide safety—and making homes safer, one alarm at a time. The event kicked off with a Donation Drive-Thru “parade,” complete with fire trucks, gear, and local firefighters from Sandy Springs. Families enjoyed music, food, giveaways, and even met Homer, The Home Depot mascot. The goal? Donate up to $1 million in alarms. Break: 3 / 4 STORY 6: Liberty joins the lineup: Cobb County’s newest K-9 embarks on duty Meet Liberty, the newest (and furriest) member of the Cobb County Sheriff’s K-9 Unit. She’s an 11-month-old bloodhound with a nose for tracking—whether it’s missing people or suspects. But don’t let her serious skills fool you; she’s still a puppy at heart, with a love for stuffed animals (or, honestly, anything she can shred). Liberty is partnered with Deputy Barry Bales, a 17-year veteran who previously worked with K-9 Shax, now retired. “Liberty’s tracking abilities will be a huge asset,” said Sheriff Craig Owens. Expect to see her out and about soon—sniffing, serving, and stealing hearts. STORY 7: Marietta Square gets a seasonal makeover The Marietta Square’s looking a little creepier (and a lot more creative) this October, thanks to the 22nd annual Scarecrows on the Square competition. Local businesses, schools, nonprofits, and just plain crafty Marietta folks have all joined in, decking out scarecrows with everything from humor to heart. Judging happens this week, with winners—Best in Show and category champs—announced at HarvestFest on Oct. 18. HarvestFest kicks off at 9 a.m. in Glover Park, featuring arts and crafts, a pie-eating contest, costumes, and kid-friendly fun. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Edition No251 | 07-10-2025 - “Happy Birthday, Mr. Putin — Ukraine's Gift to the Dictator, Long-Range Strikes.” A birthday present for Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian style — deep-strike drone operations timed to his birthday. We'll unpack the symbolism of this move, the military mechanics behind it, and what it suggests about escalation, deterrence, Kremlin overreach and Ukrainian strength.The Kyiv Post headline is vivid: “On Putin's birthday, Ukraine launched a 209-drone strike deep into Russia” (Kyiv Post). This birthday present had teeth and quite a bite. * Overnight, Ukraine launched 209 drones targeting deep Russian territory. (Kyiv Post)* The strike allegedly reached Tyumen, over 2,000 km from the border. The target: an oil refinery (the Antipinsky facility) in Tyumen.* Moscow claimed it intercepted 184 drones overnight; others say those numbers may be inflated. (Russian MoD claims)* Local Telegram channels in Tyumen reported explosions, fire trucks, emergency response. ----------This is super important. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.

Here’s the twist: the film will be accompanied live by organist Ken Double on the Mighty Mo, the Fox’s legendary 1929 Möller pipe organ.

At 67, the legendary tenor from Italy, has sold over 90 million albums, but it’s his live performances that truly leave people breathless. On Saturday, Oct. 11, Bocelli will bring his magic to Gas South Arena in Duluth, performing a mix of operatic arias, crossover hits, and selections from his album A Family Christmas. With Maestro Steven Mercurio conducting and surprises promised, it’s a night not to miss. STORY 3: Gwinnett honors Jimmy Carter's life on his 101st birthday Even though former President Jimmy Carter wasn’t there in person last Wednesday, Tiffany Parks felt his presence everywhere. As volunteers hammered and sawed away at what will soon be her new home in Lilburn, she couldn’t help but think of the man who championed Habitat for Humanity for decades. “This is special—for him, his family, his legacy,” Parks said. Wednesday would’ve been Carter’s 101st birthday, and Gwinnett County honored him in every way imaginable: a Habitat build, a mural at Best Friend Park, blue lights on Jimmy Carter Boulevard, and heartfelt tributes. “He showed the world that everyone deserves a home,” said Habitat’s Eric Miller.

STORY 5: EXPLORING GWINNETT'S HISTORY: Your Parcel ID and the 1820 Land Lottery Ever wonder where your property’s parcel ID comes from? Turns out, it’s not random—it’s rooted in history, all the way back to Georgia’s 1820 Land Lottery. Back then, the state divided up land taken from Native Americans through treaties and forced removal, creating opportunities for white settlers to claim plots. Gwinnett County, established in 1818, was part of this process. Surveyors carved the county into districts and 250-acre lots. The first digit of your parcel ID? That’s your lottery district. The next three? Your original land lot. The last three? Your slice of that lot today. Curious who won your land? Visit the Gwinnett Historical Society in Lawrenceville! We’ll be right back.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 4th Publish Date: October 4th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, October 4th and Happy Birthday to Jon Secada I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Central Gwinnett High teacher earns national award Gwinnett tops national mean score on SAT, but trails most metro neighbors Housing Matters: Rainbow Village breaks ground on expansion 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: Central Gwinnett High teacher earns national award The Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) just gave Amanda Baker, a health science teacher at Central Gwinnett High, the Goodheart-Wilcox Outstanding Service Award—and honestly, it’s no surprise. For 11 years, Baker’s been the heart and soul of her HOSA chapter. Her chapter’s done it all—blood drives, parade floats, Stop the Bleed certifications, and sending students to Internationals in events like Biomedical Debate. STORY 2: Gwinnett tops national mean score on SAT, but trails most metro neighbors   Gwinnett County Public Schools is celebrating its Class of 2025 SAT scores for beating the national average—1003 compared to 996—but the story’s a bit more complicated. While the district outpaced the nation, it fell short of Georgia’s state average (1029) and ranked seventh among 12 Metro RESA districts. Schools like Decatur City (1181) and Forsyth County (1178) left Gwinnett in the dust. Interim Superintendent Dr. Al Taylor remains optimistic. Bright spots? GSMST (1360) and North Gwinnett (1165). But some schools, like Meadowcreek (836), are struggling. STORY 3: Housing Matters: Rainbow Village breaks ground on expansion  Big things are happening at Rainbow Village. On Sept. 29, they broke ground on a major campus expansion that’ll more than double their capacity to help homeless families—going from 30 transitional apartments to 66. Families who live there get more than just a roof over their heads. They learn how to budget, tackle debt, and save for the future. Utilities and internet? Covered. The $15 million project is 73% funded, but there’s still work to do. 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: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Brian Snitker out as Braves' manager, will transition into advisory role After months of speculation, Brian Snitker finally made it official: he’s stepping down as Braves manager after the 2025 season. But don’t worry—he’s not going far. Starting in 2026, he’ll take on an advisory role, marking his 50th year with the organization. At 70, Snitker’s ready for a slower pace—more time with family, fewer road trips. His journey with the Braves started in 1977, thanks to Hank Aaron, who gave him his first coaching job. As the Braves prepare to find their next manager, Snitker’s legacy looms large. From consignment-store bunk beds in the minors to hoisting a championship trophy, he’s seen it all. STORY 5: Buford City Schools names District Teacher of the Year Emily Stewart, Buford Senior Academy’s media specialist, was named the 2025 District Teacher of the Year for Buford City Schools—and honestly, it’s no surprise to anyone who knows her. Stewart, who works with third through fifth graders, has turned the Media Center into something magical. It’s not just a library anymore—it’s a place where kids discover new worlds, take risks as readers, and actually *want* to read. Her Reading Challenge program? A hit. The Genre Café? Genius. Kids sampling books like they’re at a coffee shop? Who wouldn’t love that? But she doesn’t stop there. Stewart organizes school communications, helps teachers with tech, and even runs district-wide events like Books on the Bus, giving free books to families. We’ll be right back. Break 3: LILBURN DAZE STORY 6: Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful names 2025-26 Green Youth Advisory Council class Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful is kicking off another year of shaping young leaders with its Green Youth Advisory Council (GYAC) for 2025-2026. This year’s group? Twenty passionate high schoolers from 12 schools across Gwinnett County, ready to make a difference. New faces include Amari Wilson (South Gwinnett), Maansi Singh (GSMST), and Holly Spake (Brookwood), while returning members like Ananya Desai (Peachtree Ridge) and Brian Le (Brookwood) are back for more. From tackling litter to launching school programs, they’ll serve as advocates, volunteers, and innovators. Oh, and seniors? They’re eligible for a $1,000 scholarship. STORY 7: New store open at Mall of Georgia Johnston & Murphy, the classic American brand that’s been around since, well, 1850, is now open at the Mall of Georgia. You’ll find it upstairs, right across from JCPenney. Known for everything from handcrafted dress shoes to casual sneakers, polished jackets to everyday staples, Johnston & Murphy has this knack for blending timeless style with modern vibes. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a statement shoe *and* a go-to sweater in one trip. The boutique? Sleek, modern, and totally worth a visit.

He's watched one movie per day for the last 30 years. He's a germaphobe. He obsesses over the efficient use of his time. But when David Samson, the ex-president of the Miami Marlins, just last month, received the news of his daughter's sudden illness, the life he meticulously engineered was upended forever. David sits down for a candid discussion about his failures as a father and his hopes for his daughter. Also: electing a commissioner; Giancarlo Stanton's best home run; Jerry Reinsdorf's “Happy Birthday”; the time Derek Jeter berated David across a Cooperstown souvenir shop; and oops, we forgot to tell Skipper he's not on this episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Fat One closes out the week forgetting things left and right as he natters about the Big Brother “winner”, Rat World, quiz programs BUT does remember that this is a special day and plays his annual song to commemorate it. Happy first weekend of Gay Chrima month.
