MDJ Script/ Top Stories for April 2nd Publish Date:  April 2nd    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, April 2nd and Happy Birthday to Marvin Gaye ***BIRTHDAY – MARVIN GAYE*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb Tables Proposed 24-Townhome Development Federal judge sides with Georgia in 'water wars' with Alabama Cobb PARKS Spring Arts Festival is April 26 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: MONSTER JAM 2025_FINAL STORY 1: Cobb Tables Proposed 24-Townhome Development The Cobb County Planning Commission delayed a decision on a proposed 24-townhome development at 2318 Powder Springs Road until May 6, citing concerns over stormwater management, parking, and road design. The applicant, Fort & Cole Street, plans two-story, craftsman-style homes with garages and a homeowners association. Cobb DOT raised issues with driveway spacing and private alley design, while the fire department questioned emergency vehicle access. A Cobb Schools representative opposed the project due to potential enrollment impacts at Osborne High. The commission seeks further input from the stormwater division before proceeding. STORY 2: Federal judge sides with Georgia in 'water wars' with Alabama Georgia secured another victory in its "water wars" as a federal judge upheld the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' 2021 decision to allocate more water from Lake Allatoona to meet metro Atlanta and Bartow County's needs. Alabama had challenged the decision, claiming it over-allocated water to Georgia, but the court found negligible impacts on Alabama's water needs. This ruling brings clarity after decades of litigation. Georgia also won a similar case against Florida in 2021 regarding water use from the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers. STORY 3: Cobb PARKS Spring Arts Festival is April 26 The Cobb PARKS Spring Arts Festival will take place on April 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Jim R. Miller Park in Marietta. Featuring over 100 artisans, the event offers handmade goods, live music, aerial acts, and art demonstrations like glass-blowing and ceramics. Kids can enjoy the Kidz Korner, interactive crafts, and street entertainment. Attendees can also create art at the Splatter Paint Studio and other interactive booths. Admission and parking are free. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Highlights include the Georgia Bird Fest Summit on April 25-26 at Jekyll Island, with field trips and a keynote by acclaimed naturalist Janisse Ray. Proceeds support Birds Georgia's conservation and education efforts. Registration is open at birdsgeorgia.org. STORY 5: Three Cobb Students Named STAR Student Region Winners Cobb Water celebrated Fat Tuesday with a community parade through the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility, offering hour-long tours to educate participants on wastewater treatment and the impact of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) on sewer systems. Interactive games at various stations highlighted treatment processes, including a poop emoji toss to demonstrate FOG blockages. The event concluded with a fun photo op in a giant paper mâché toilet. Break: MONSTER JAM 2025_FINAL STORY 6: Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities at Cobb County Water System The Cobb County Water System in Marietta announced several volunteer opportunities. Activities include Rain Garden Work Days (various dates in April and May), water quality monitoring workshops (April 23 and May 15), waterway cleanups (April 24 and May 3), and community outreach events like storm drain marking (April 12 and May 8). Volunteers can help with gardening, stream monitoring, litter cleanup, and public education. Training and tools are provided for most events. For details, contact water_rsvp@cobbcounty.org or visit www.cobbstreams.org. STORY 7: State Super Names 44 Cobb Schools 'Math Leaders' Georgia State Superintendent Richard Woods honored 44 Cobb County schools as “Math Leaders” for their significant gains or success in standardized math tests. Schools received banners with ribbons for growth, proficiency, or distinction, with Cobb earning one of the highest percentages of top honors statewide. Ford Elementary also received recognition as a Military Flagship School for supporting military families. Woods emphasized the importance of math alongside literacy, with plans to expand awards to science and social studies next year. Cobb Superintendent Chris Ragsdale praised the district's focus on comprehensive student success.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for December 24th Publish Date: December 24th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, December 24th and Happy Birthday to Howard Hughes ***12.24.24 - BIRTHDAY – HOWARD HUGHES*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Norcross buys historic Woman's Club building for $450K Woman Accused of Stealing More Than $600K By Submitting Fake Invoices At Her Job State to lift ban on new irrigation wells 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: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Norcross buys historic Woman's Club building for $450K The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation and Norcross officials have agreed on the future of Gwinnett County's first public library building. The city will purchase the 103-year-old Norcross Woman's Club building for $450,000, ensuring its preservation within a historic district. This resolves a dispute that began when the city considered condemning the building. The Trust, which received the building as a donation, aimed to preserve its architectural features. The city plans to invest $230,000 in rehabilitation by 2025. The building, a Carnegie-style Greek Revival structure, will be overseen by the Norcross Historic Preservation Committee. STORY 2: Woman Accused Of Stealing More Than $600K By Submitting Fake Invoices At Her Job The Gwinnett County Police Department has issued warrants for Melissa Dowd, 58, of Monroe, for stealing over $656,000 from her employer, WideData Corporation. Dowd, now in Gwinnett County Jail, is charged with computer theft, forgery, and theft by taking. She allegedly submitted false invoices and altered checks to list herself as the payee, committing these acts over 190 times. Additionally, she doubled her salary by manipulating payroll software and altered her W-2 to evade taxes. The investigation continues, and tips can be reported to the police or Crime Stoppers for a potential cash reward. STORY 3: State to lift ban on new irrigation wells Georgia is lifting a decade-long moratorium on new irrigation wells in Southwest Georgia, effective April 1. Governor Brian Kemp announced that the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) will accept groundwater withdrawal permit applications, requiring drought-related measures to protect water supplies in the Lower Flint and Chattahoochee river basins. The moratorium, imposed in 2012 due to drought, was partially eased last year. Extensive research and improved water tracking technology have informed the decision to lift the ban. This move supports farmers recovering from Hurricane Helene and strengthens Georgia's water management efforts. 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: Tom Wages (08.05.24 OBITS_FINAL) STORY 4: 4M expected to pass through Atlanta airport during Christmas/NYE holiday period If you are traveling this holiday season, be prepared for delays. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport expects around 4 million passengers during the Christmas holiday period, with the busiest day on December 27, seeing over 327,000 travelers. Nationwide, TSA plans to screen 40 million passengers by January 2. Travelers are advised to check ATL.com for parking updates and monitor real-time wait times at the airport. TSA Administrator David Pekoske warns that a potential federal government shutdown could lead to longer security wait times. STORY 5: A white Christmas in Georgia? Snow chances in Atlanta next week? Will we have a white Christmas? The last "white Christmas" in Georgia was in 2010, with snowfall from 1-3 inches in metro Atlanta to 8 inches in the north Georgia mountains, marking the first measurable Christmas Day snow since 1881. This year, sub-freezing temperatures are expected in north Georgia leading up to Christmas, but dry conditions are likely to persist until Christmas Eve or Day, making a snowy holiday unlikely. Many Georgians hope for wintry weather, but a "white Christmas" remains a rare occurrence in the state.

The Lions dominated with a strong ground game, led by quarterback Thomas Stallworth and running back Devon Caldwell. Hebron's defense also excelled, limiting Prince Avenue's offense. Gess, previously successful at Eagle’s Landing Christian, has rapidly transformed Hebron into a competitive program, promising more future successes.

We dive into the waters of Alan Jackson's signature song, 1993's "Chattahoochee".  It's Alan Jackson, so it's going to be earnest neotraditional honky-tonk, but how does the authentic nostalgia in this one take it from good, to great, to all-time classic? (And what exactly is a hootchie-cootchie?)

In a 6-3 decision by the justices, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that outdoor sleeping bans do not violate the Eighth Amendment. The decision essentially allows cities to make it illegal for unhoused people to sleep outdoors, even when shelter space is unavailable.

The carcasses of headless goats are floating in the Chattahoochee River; too many for a prosaic explanation.

First up down on the Mobile-Tensaw Delta we have Peter Jordan with the Lost Angler Fly Shop. With water temps dropping and fish moving deeper, Peter discusses the necessity of becoming proficient with sinking lines and how to maneuver your boat to give you the best shots at getting a streamer past fish. We discuss how drought conditions push saltwater species into “freshwater” areas, and how Gulf Coast anglers can target a wide variety of fresh and saltwater species all on the same body of water. Next up we swing over to Lake Eufala on the Chattahoochee river to talk with Steve “Graz” Graziano. Join us as Graz talks winter topwater bites, lipless crankbaits, alligators, and jig fishing; and stick around to the end to hear why anglers should pay extra attention to boating safety as the temperature starts to drop.

The Alabama Freshwater Fishing report is your best resource for the Lake Guntersville Fishing Report, Weiss Lake Fishing Report, Lake Eufaula Fishing Report, and all the creeks, rivers, and reservoirs in between. On this week's episode, we talk with the owner of Calico Fly Fishing; Stephen Cook. Calico Fly Fishing is a local Alabama business offering quality fly fishing rods that don't just catch fish, they help keep our rivers clean! Join us as we talk about the Coosa, Tallapoosa, Warrior, and Cahaba models that Stephen offers. Next up we have Stephen Rockarts with Fly Fishing Alabama LLC. Stephen talks a little about the raft he uses to guide fishermen on the Cahaba River. Inflatable rafts are a great option for fishermen who want the small-water capabilities of a canoe or kayak, but want something a little more stable. Finally, we talk with Cahaba Riverkeeper David Butler. While we talk a good bit on this show about the Chattahoochee, Tennessee, and Coosa Rivers, but the Cahaba is very much a “forgotten gem” of a river that every fisherman should get out on at least once to experience some truly wild fishing.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for July22nd Saturday Publish Date: July 21 Friday   Commercial: Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast Today is Saturday July 22nd and happy 59th birthday to comedian/actor David Spade ***Spade*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia 1. Life sentence for mother of toddler found dead in Chattahoochee 2. Banks calls for Cobb school board to cut tax rate further 3. And Marietta approves conversion of Motel 6 into apartments   Plus, Brian Giffin talks with Kim Scofi, President and CEO of United Military Care, about the upcoming We Care Veteran's Fair coming up in a couple weeks at the Cobb Civic Center (SCOH-fee) All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Commercial : CU of GA – UMC 30   STORY 1: river   In a tragic case, Breyanla Lachuan Cooper of Stone Mountain was convicted of murdering her 19-month-old son, Faheem, by leaving him in the Chattahoochee River. She pleaded guilty to malice murder, aggravated assault, and concealing the death. As a result, Cooper was sentenced to life in prison by Cobb Superior Court Judge Kellie Hill. The incident came to light when Faheem's lifeless body was found in the river on July 1, 2021, after a firefighter noticed something floating in the water. Cooper initially claimed her son was kidnapped, but surveillance footage and GPS data from her car disproved her story. It is a heart-wrenching case, leaving the family and community devastated...................……... Read more about this at mdjonline.com   Story 2: banks   During a school board work session, David Banks, a longtime Cobb school board member, expressed his desire to cut the school district's millage rate by 0.5 mills, which was more than the proposed reduction of 0.2 mills by Superintendent Chris Ragsdale. Banks considered the proposed reduction as the largest tax increase in Cobb County history and felt he could not support it. However, the chief financial officer clarified that a larger reduction would result in significant revenue loss, equivalent to cutting 1,100 teachers. The board eventually voted on the 0.2-mill reduction, and Ragsdale considered it necessary to attract and retain great teachers for quality education. Banks remained opposed, expressing concerns about the impact on minorities and some residents avoiding taxes through exemptions.   Story 3: motel 6   The Marietta City Council approved a proposal to convert the Motel 6 on Delk Road into apartments. Developer 5th Street Capital Partners presented the conversion as an opportunity to improve public safety and provide affordable housing. The council initially voted in favor of the proposal but was vetoed by Mayor Steve Tumlin. After further discussion, Councilman Joseph Goldstein joined supporters to override the veto. The developer plans to add security measures such as one-year leases, background checks, and security cameras to reduce crime at the property. The decision was supported by those advocating for more affordable housing in the area.   we'll be right back   Break: ESOG - Dayco – Ingles 2   STORY 4: judge   A federal judge ruled that the Cobb County School District cannot be held liable in a lawsuit filed by a group of parents and left-leaning groups, alleging racial gerrymandering in the new school board map. However, the judge denied the Cobb Board of Elections' request to dismiss the claim against them. Consequently, the Board of Elections is the only remaining defendant in the case. The lawsuit, filed by civil rights groups and parents, claimed that the map disenfranchised voters of color. The judge found the school district immune from liability, but the case against the Board of Elections will proceed.   STORY 5: habitat   Habitat for Humanity of NW Metro Atlanta and the Cobb Interfaith Habitat Coalition have begun construction on their 22nd annual Habitat house in Mableton. Faith groups, including various churches and Islamic centers, and corporate partners are participating in the build. The future homeowner, Vernita, has worked as a general manager at McDonald's for 21 years and is eager to have a place to call home. The Habitat program's affordable homeownership opportunity made this dream possible for her. The coalition's motto is "We Build to Coexist, We Coexist to Build," emphasizing unity and faith in action.   Story 6: cunane   Mount Paran Christian softball player Katie Cunane is set to travel to Cuba with an American travel ball team to compete in the Copi Amistad event in Havana. Cunane sees this as an opportunity to embrace the moment and use it as a mission trip to help people in need in Cuba. Despite conflicting with the opening of the 2023 high school season, she is excited to experience a new country and play softball with her team. The event aims to have American players face players from the junior Olympic and senior Olympic national teams from Cuba and South Korea. Cunane is eager to learn about Cuban culture and softball while giving back to those with limited access to softball equipment.   We'll be back in a moment   Break: Drake- Elon- GON   Story 7: UMC   And now, Brian Giffin talks with Kim Scofi, President and CEO od United Military Care about the upcoming We Care Veterans Fair on August 4th and 5th   ***UMC Ivw***   We're back with final thoughts after this     Break: Fernbank - Ted's :30. - Henssler 60 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Tuesday May 16th Publish Date: May 15th, Monday From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast Today is Tuesday May 16th , and happy 69th birthday to “007” Pierce Brosnan ***Bond****   I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappey Properties Professional Standards Commission dumping ‘diversity' from teacher preparation rules Players Guild at Sugar Hill announces 2023-24 season And Lola Chiza is set to be the seventh — and final — sibling to graduate from Central Gwinnett   We'll have all this and more on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.  Commercial  Slappey   Story 1. Standards   The Georgia Professional Standards Commission unanimously voted to remove the words "diversity," "equity," and "inclusion" from the state's educator preparation rules, despite opposition from students, educators, and parents. The University System of Georgia requested the removal to clarify expectations for educator preparation programs. Critics argue that this decision, similar to the divisive concept law, will harm teacher preparation and worsen the state's teacher shortage. They believe diversity is essential to effective teaching and that removing it from teacher education will discourage future educators. Despite receiving numerous emails opposing the change, the commission maintains that their intent is to meet the needs of all students. Critics argue that words reflect intent and removing these terms has consequences.   STORY 2:  Players   The Player's Guild at Sugar Hill is gearing up for its 10th anniversary season with a lineup of classic titles. Following the success of their first-ever musical, "Guys and Dolls," the guild announces its upcoming 2023-24 season, featuring three plays and one musical. The season kicks off with "Steel Magnolias," a timeless comedy-drama set in a beauty salon in Louisiana. Next, for the holidays, they will present "It's a Wonderful Life," a live adaptation of the beloved film. In February, the guild will stage "The Diary of Anne Frank," a powerful drama capturing the lives of those hiding from the Nazis. The season concludes with "The Wedding Singer," a musical that takes the audience back to the '80s. The guild aims to provide audiences with wonderful nights at the theatre and expresses gratitude to the community for their support throughout the last decade.   Story 3: Chiza   Lola Chiza is set to graduate from Central Gwinnett High School, marking the seventh sibling from her family to do so. Her family's history is one of resilience and dedication to education. Lola's parents emigrated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and her siblings have gone on to pursue successful careers and college education.

Despite initially finding the idea inconceivable, he enrolled in college and excelled academically, graduating with a 3.975 GPA and summa cum laude honors.

Now equipped with his degree, Kaplan aspires to become a screenwriter, utilizing his passion for storytelling. His 98-year-old mother, Virginia Kaplan, believes in his success and eagerly awaits his future endeavors in the film industry.   Story 5: Art winners   U.S. Rep.

This victory marked their fifth title in the last seven state meets and their eighth overall. Led by senior athletes Nia Wilson and Morgan Collins, the Spartans showcased outstanding performances in various events. Wilson won the 100-meter race and was the runner-up in the 200 meters, while Collins secured the state championship in the 800 meters. The team's collective effort, including victories and top placements in several events, contributed to their success. The depth and competitiveness of the 5A class made the win even more remarkable. Meanwhile, the GAC boys' team achieved a respectable sixth-place finish in the state meet.   Story 7: Tennis   Greater Atlanta Christian's boys tennis team claimed their eighth state championship by defeating Chattahoochee 3-0 in the finals. This victory marked their first boys title since 2015 and their first in Class AAAAA after moving up from AAA.

The championship match saw impressive performances from players like Jack Morrison, Ayaan Valiani, Harrison Kemp, and Jason Kim, who secured the clinching point. It was a closely contested match, and GAC emerged victorious with a 3-0 score.   Story 8: Heat   The Gwinnett Heat, Gwinnett County Public Schools' Adapted Sports team, clinched the junior varsity state championship in wheelchair football with a thrilling 26-23 victory over the Houston County Junior Sharks.

The Cobb Galleria Specialty Shops, located inside the Cobb Galleria convention center in Georgia, USA, was never as successful as its developers had hoped. Even when the convention business took off, the mall failed to take advantage of this trend. Today, the mall is home to 20 remaining shops, which pay month-to-month leases that barely cover operating costs. Plans to redevelop the Galleria complex by razing the mall and building a hotel and restaurants have been around since the 1990s, and the project is now gaining traction thanks to a revenue-sharing agreement between the authority, the Cobb Board of Commissioners and Cobb's cities. The Trust for Public Land, a non-profit that builds parks, has purchased a nine-acre scrub-covered lot in Mableton Parkway, located across the Chattahoochee River from Fulton County Airport in Atlanta. The site is intended to serve as the first of 25 regional trailheads for the Chattahoochee Riverlands project, a massive undertaking to create a series of parks and trails connecting a 100-mile stretch of the Chattahoochee from Lake Lanier's Buford Dam to Newnan. The first portion of the trail in south Cobb will be a pilot project that showcases the potential of the full Riverlands project. The Georgia Tech baseball program announced on Thursday that they will retire former Yellow Jacket standout Mark Teixeira's Number 23. Teixeira, a former Atlanta Braves first baseman, will be honored in a pregame ceremony on May 20th before Georgia Tech's game against Virginia. His number will join only two other retired numbers in program history. During his time at Georgia Tech, Teixeira earned a long list of honors, including the 2000 Dick Howser Trophy, National Player of the Year, 2000 ACC Player of the Year, and 2000 consensus first-team All-American. He was also named to the All-ACC first team twice. Teixeira played a 14-year career in MLB, winning five Gold Gloves and three Silver Sluggers. He also won the 2009 World Series as a member of the New York Yankees. Teixeira was elected to the Georgia Tech Sports Hall of Fame in 2011 and returned to campus after retiring from professional baseball to complete his degree in business administration in 2022. Bridger Properties, the developers behind the proposed 135-unit residential building in Marietta downtown, are considering condominiums instead of apartments for the building. The developers held a community meeting to hear from residents, many of whom were concerned about the maintenance of rental apartments. The seven-story building would be built on a 1.25-acre site north of the Marietta Square Market food hall. The land is already zoned for a category that permits the building, and the developers are not seeking variances from the city. However, Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin and some City Council members have said they do not want it to be built. Community reporter Matt Goldin catches up with John Bednarowski coming to us from the Masters, presented by Ingles. An Arizona resident named Michael Lopez completed the Georgia Bass Slam, catching seven different species of bass across Georgia. The Bass Slam recognizes anglers with knowledge and skill while also promoting conservation and management of black bass and their habitats. To qualify, fish must be caught legally on waters where permission is granted, within a calendar year, and basic information and photos must be provided. Successful Bass Slammers receive a certificate, passes to the Go Fish Education Center, stickers, and recognition on the Bass Slam webpage and social media. Additionally, Georgia has a Trophy Bass Angler Award program for largemouth bass catches of 10 pounds or greater. Atlanta-based Bridger Properties has outlined plans for a multimillion-dollar renovation of the land it owns in Marietta's downtown area. The plans include a public plaza at Marietta Station, a facelift for a dozen stores on Church Street, and a new seven-storey residential building north of Marietta Square Market food hall. The developer has also said it will lease its retail properties to small businesses and local operators, and it is seeking new restaurants and retail outlets for Church Street. However, residents raised concerns over the departure of previous tenants, the rental rates charged and the loss of parking spaces. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews        -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Crime & Entertainment, we share the crazy tale of Andrew Thorton & The Cocaine Bear. Thorton grew up in the Kentucky area and after serving briefly in law enforcement, he quickly made the transition into an outlaw. Thorton, along with Bradley Bryant & others, eventually formed a crime syndicate called "The Company." They would smuggle everything from weapons to drugs from South America to the United States. Eventually when the heat came down and over 25 people were arrested, utter chaos ensued. A murder rampage began that included a federal judge and a Florida State Attorney with many others falling victim.  Eventually, Thornton would meet his demise during a drug running operation where he would jump from his airplane with multiple weapons, a bullet proof vest, and a duffle bag with 75lb of cocaine strapped to him. This weight however was too heavy, which resulted in his parachute not opening and he subsequently plummeted to his death. However, before he jumped, he threw out multiple bags of cocaine that landed in the Chattahoochee area.  Unbelievably, this cocaine was discovered and consumed by a black bear.
