MDJ Script/ Top Stories for September 24th Publish Date:  September 24th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September 24th and Happy heavenly Birthday to Jim Henson. ***09.24.24 – BIRTHDAY – JIM HENSON*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Marietta to Consider Lifting Pit Bull, Rottweiler Ban Red Cross says Blood Donors Needed Now to Help Combat Critical Need GHC to Add bachelor's in digital media in Fall 2025 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: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) STORY 1:  Marietta to Consider Lifting Pit Bull, Rottweiler Ban The Marietta City Council is considering lifting the ban on pit bulls and Rottweilers in off-leash dog parks. Currently, these breeds are prohibited, unlike in nearby areas where restrictions focus on aggressive behavior rather than specific breeds. Councilmember Cheryl Richardson, a Rottweiler owner, advocates for this change, arguing that aggression is not breed-specific. Some residents, like Corinne Shanahan, agree, noting that issues often arise from owner behavior rather than breed. However, concerns remain about enforcement and safety, with some council members, including Chairman Johnny Walker, opposing the change due to safety concerns. The council will vote on the proposal in an upcoming meeting. STORY 2:     Red Cross: Blood Donors Needed Now to Help Combat Critical Need The American Red Cross is urging blood and platelet donations to stabilize the critical blood supply, especially from type O donors and first-time donors. Only 3% of Americans donate, yet donations are vital for patients needing transfusions. Donors by September 30 receive a $15 e-gift card, and those donating in October can get a $10 Amazon gift card and a chance to win a $5,000 gift card. Numerous local blood drives are scheduled, including at the Cobb Blood Donation Center and various community locations. Visit RedCrossBlood.org for more details and to make an appointment. STORY 3:  GHC to Add Bachelor's in Digital Media in Fall 2025 Georgia Highlands College will introduce a Bachelor of Science in Digital Media and Communication in fall 2025, marking its 10th baccalaureate degree. This program, part of the School of Humanities, is designed to prepare students for careers in the digital media and communication fields, focusing on skills like production, market research, branding, and social media analytics. Graduates can pursue roles in media, public relations, event planning, and more, with opportunities for entrepreneurship. The program offers flexible learning options, including online and hybrid courses, and students can start classes as early as this spring. 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: DRAKE (Drake Realty (Cobb County) STORY 4:  Cobb Schools to Fund 150 More Graduate Degrees for Educators The Cobb County School District will expand its Georgia's BEST Program by adding 150 more educators next year, funding their graduate degrees at no cost. Launched in February 2023, the program has already invested over $1.15 million and accepted 750 staff members. In partnership with the University of West Georgia, it is open to full-time, certified district employees. The program aims to enhance educator retention, improve educational quality, and offer higher salary opportunities. The new cohort will begin in January 2025. For more details, visit CobbK12.org. STORY 5:  Cobb Eyes New Roadkill Pickup Program Commissioner Keli Gambrill proposes a new roadkill pickup incentive program for Cobb's Animal Services, allocating $100,000 from her contingency fund. The program would pay animal services employees bonuses for pickups outside regular hours, saving costs compared to contractors. Employees would earn $20 per non-deer and $25 per deer pickup. This initiative aims to improve response times and reduce reliance on less reliable contractors. The program addresses increasing roadkill reports, especially in rural areas like west Cobb. The Cobb County Board of Commissioners will discuss this proposal in their upcoming meeting. We'll be back in a moment    Break: INGLES 9 (Ingles Markets (What To Add To Diets) 9 STORY 6:  14-Year-Old in Custody After South Cobb High Shooting A 14-year-old is in custody for a shooting at South Cobb High School during a community event on Saturday night. The suspect faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault and possession of a firearm. The victim suffered a non-life-threatening injury and is expected to recover. The incident occurred during a football game, though it was not a district-sponsored event. Cobb County School Board member Leroy Tre' Hutchins advocates for enhanced safety measures at all school events. The firearm has been recovered, but details on how the suspect obtained it remain undisclosed. The investigation is ongoing. STORY 7:    Flower Show at North Georgia State Fair The North Georgia State Fair has kicked off with its first annual flower show, featuring over 386 horticultural displays in Building B, alongside Arts & Crafts and Baked Goods competitions. Ribbons for the largest pumpkin and other categories were awarded on September 18. The shows are organized by the Master Gardener Volunteers of Cobb County and the Marietta Garden Council, judged by National Garden Club judges.

From writing speeches for sitting Senators and Presidential candidates to acting as Vice President of Channel One News to writing the teleplay that earned Kyra Sedgwick her first Emmy nomination, today's guest, writer, and activist Roger Wolfson, has been in the room where it happens, achieving remarkable success in the fields of news, politics, and entertainment. Roger was also Commissioner of Animal Services for the city of Los Angeles, where he fought to establish and maintain Los Angeles as a no-kill city and implement a plant-based diet for all shelter dogs.   Tune in to this must-listen episode, where we discuss everything from the inner workings of Washington, to the challenges of writing in Hollywood, to how we can really make a difference as activists!    “You know, over the years, I've become a more spiritual person. I've done a lot more reflection. I've tried to grow as a human being. I've failed at times, and I've succeeded in others. But I do believe that when you eat meat when you participate in that level of hypocrisy and willful ignorance and cruelty, it's damaging to the soul. Profoundly damaging.” – Roger Wolfson   What we discuss in this episode: Roger's upbringing and what inspired him to become vegan. How becoming vegan empowered him to make other positive life choices. Why Roger became such a passionate activist. The challenges of communication in Washington. Why he chose to leave Washington and write for film and television. How Roger learned diplomacy as a writer in Los Angeles. Steps activists can take to become more effective.

The Board of Supervisors heard an update last week on the non-lethal wildlife exclusionary program. They also proceeded with the development of a pilot program that would ask voters to approve the creation of a benefit zone to assess residents of Brooktrails and surrounding areas to maintain evacuation routes on private roads. And, while supervisors concluded that the county is not in a position to craft an ordinance to protect riparian areas and wetlands, they agreed to have Supervisor Glenn McGourty work with relevant agencies to collect maps of Mendocino County to organize the information about those areas. The county no longer has a contract with USDA's Wildlife Services, which offered non-lethal as well as lethal solutions to problems people have with wild animals. Citizens groups complained that Wildlife Services killed hundreds of animals that did not present a problem, while the agency itself insisted that the majority of its calls resulted in non-lethal assistance. Acting Ag Commissioner Andrew Smith told the Board that members of the public can contact either his department or county Animal Services for small wildlife nuisance animals. California Fish and Wildlife deals with larger nuisance animals or sick, injured, or orphaned wild animals. CDFW is the only agency that can issue a depredation permit for wildlife conflicts. The UC Cooperative Extension offers education and surveys about non-lethal wildlife control. Maps were key to the next two discussions. Residents in Brooktrails have already used the private FirCo road to evacuate during the Oak Fire. There are memorandums of understanding in place to continue using that road as well as the sewer easement road, but Department of Transportation Director Howard Dashiell said that LAFCO, the Local Agency Formation Commission, was seeking a durable written recorded right, plus a district boundary map to form a community services district. He confessed that his figures were “spitball numbers,” but he estimated that the cost of that would be about $100,000. Ongoing maintenance, he estimated, would be $45-50,000 a year. The aim is to cover the costs by assessing each parcel that would use the evacuation route a certain fee, perhaps $30 a year. Keith Rutledge, of Sherwood Firewise communities, told the Board he's confident that residents would vote to approve the benefit zone to maintain the evacuation routes. “These access routes can be used by CalFire or the sheriff or any emergency personnel, with or without maintenance, with or without access agreements for public emergency purposes,” he said. “We're not talking about permission for use for emergency access. We're talking about permission to maintain the vegetation along those routes so they can be used for evacuation. When CalFire comes through and bulldozes through an area to get access to something they don't currently have, they will come back and repair that. Typically, they'll come back and do the wattling and the stream restoration. It takes a long time, but they do take responsibility for the damages they cause. So if there were some terrible situation where there were damages caused, that would be the case. However, what we're trying to do is create a road surface that can be used by emergency vehicles that has the clearings and turnouts and all the safety features so that there won't be those damages, and they can quickly respond, like they did during the Oak incident.” The Board voted to send Dashiell back to LAFCO with a revocable license for the project, and to proceed with a ballot. In environmental policy, the Board heard from senior CDFW scientist Jennifer Garrison about the need to establish protections for riparian, stream and wetland areas. She began by summing up their fragility, and their role in the ecosystem. “California has lost 91% of its wetlands,” she said. “And in CDFW's northern region, which induces Mendocino County, it is estimated that only 25% of riparian habitats remain, due to land conversion and development…wetlands and riparian corridors benefit us all, humans, wildlife, and the environment. They contribute to the scenic value of Mendocino County and are host to many recreational activities. They store floodwater, protect land and structures against erosion, storm surges and flooding. Wetlands recharge groundwater and riparian corridors, trap sediment, and filter pollutants, preventing those substances from entering streams. Wetlands are habitat for over half of the listed threatened and endangered species in California. These areas are vital habitat for the majority of wildlife species as they provide water, food, and movement corridors. They are also the primary habitat for many mammal, bird, and amphibian species.” Garrison said CDFW supports setbacks from waterways, but that would reduce the amount of usable land on riparian or streamside parcels. Supervisor John Haschak siad the proposal was to seek a grant to hire a consultant who could figure out how to balance environmental and developmental interests. Interim assistant planning and building services director Nash Gonzalez said the earliest the county would be able to start crafting a protection policy would be 2026. “For an ordinance like this, the function is, you have to develop a scope of what it is that you want to achieve,” he told the Board. “You have to look at the big picture. And the big picture is, the protection of riparian resources. Well, you have to do the mapping. You have to look at someone to manage the project. Obviously, the Executive Office can work with the grants writer to look for a grant. But once you find the grant, who's going to manage the project? Because there's no free grant money out there. Somehow you have to bring some money, and that match might be from the General Fund…The other thing, too, is, it's been my understanding from this Board and previous Boards, is that the county's priority right now is housing. As you start limiting development on parcels, you are also going to start limiting the availability of housing in those areas. At what point do you say, this works, or this doesn't work. And that's part of the scope.” In light of funding and staffing shortages to proceed with a robust policy at this time, the Board tapped McGourty to identify what kinds of high-quality LIDAR and GIS maps already exist for Mendocino County.

Friday Recap of week four.  A scream, a white Hyundai Elantra, private investigators, frustration and assurance.  Plain-clothed officers were on the scene the evening of 12/8.   We discuss who they likely are and why they may be there. Were these Federal Marshals?  Hyundai Elantra MOSCOW, Idaho – Detectives are interested in speaking with the occupant(s) of a white 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra, with an unknown license plate. Tips and leads have led investigators to look for additional information about a vehicle being in the immediate area of the King Street residence during the early morning hours of November 13th. Investigators believe the occupant(s) of this vehicle may have critical information to share regarding this case.+ This is not the vehicle from the body cam footage, per police.  If you know of or own a vehicle matching this description, or know of anyone who may have been driving this vehicle on the days preceding or the day of the murders, please forward that information to the Tip Line.  Information can be submitted: Tip Line: 208-883-7180 Missing Time Line One thing still under investigation is what happened between 9 p.m. Nov. 12 and 1:45 a.m. on Nov. 13 when police believe XANA and ETHAN were at the Sigma Chi house. Police are asking anyone with information about their interactions, contacts, plans or means of travel to share that with the department. Stalker? Using tips and leads, investigators have identified an incident involving Kaylee at a local business, which may have been the stalker reference she made to friends and family. In mid-October, two males were seen inside a local business; they parted ways, and one male appeared to follow Kaylee inside the business and as she exited to walk toward her car. The male turned away, and it did not appear he made any contact with her. Detectives contacted both males and learned the two were attempting to meet women at the business, this was corroborated through additional investigation. Based on available information, detectives believe this was an isolated incident and not an ongoing pattern of stalking. No evidence suggests the two males were involved in the murders. Investigators continue looking into information about Kaylee having a stalker. Information about a potential stalker or unusual occurrences should go through the Tip Line. The dog There have been numerous requests about the dog found at the residence on the morning of November 13th. Arriving officers entered the residence and found the deceased victims. During the search of the home, a dog was found in a room where the crimes had not been committed. Officers did not find any evidence on the dog and there was no indication the animal had entered the crime scene. The dog was taken to Animal Services and released to a responsible person.    While the dog was in the house when officers arrived, it has not been determined where the dog was physically located when the murders took place. 4 Killed For What is a production of True Crime Today; listen & sub to True Crime Today Here: https://availableon.com/truecrimetodayatruecrimepodcast Join Tony Brueski @tonybpod on twitter, and our Facebook Discussion Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/834636321133023 If you have information about the Moscow, Idaho murders: Tip Line: 208-883-7180 Email: tipline@ci.moscow.id.us Digital Media: http://fbi.gov/moscowidaho

This podcast is sustained by sales of our debut book, Meow: A Novel (For Cats). Our relationship with cats mirrors that of the primal unconscious with domestic order: it serves as persistent reminder of the ‘Other', by whose exclusion we define our own humanity. This is how Michel Foucault – who named his own cat ‘Insanity' – understood the construction of madness in society. Cats, in this sense, are vehicles for our projections, misconceptions, and suppressed primal urges. The same can be said of Jack Skelley's latest poetry collection, Interstellar Theme Park.  Both, when provoked to conscious recognition, become agents of chaos, eradicating the Debordian schemas of duplicity (Blake's ‘mind-forg'd manacles' referenced in Tony Trigilio's review of Skelley's work) which amass and delineate our quotidian apprehensions, rendering the mental landscape a palimpsest upon which distorted ego-figurations are gradually refined into an approximation of the Real. In this week's episode, we read a selection from Interstellar Theme Park – translated, as always, into cat language – and follow this with a feline-intelligible interview with Jeff Thielman, commissioner of Animal Services in Skelley's literary homeland of Los Angeles, who has found intriguing correlations between upticks in LA County's feral cat population and releases of Skelley's books.
