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

Socks: Using Patons Kroy sock in the colorway Blue Striped Ragg. Finished first sock and halfway down leg of second. Spacetime 18: Heidi Kirrmaier. Using my handspun Flowers From My Garden. On hold. Simple Shawl by Jane Hunter. Using my Into the Whirled handspun. Rag Rugs: I put the warp on the loom and threaded the heddles. Now I need to thread the reed, and sew fabric strips together.

Brought on an overnight trip and had my friend Sue knit on the scarf. Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress.  Kelly's Projects Fireweed Sock sock two is still in the leg. Worked on it while the handspun sweater was in a time out!  I am back to working on the Lace and Fade Boxy by Joji Locatelli. I'm using a merino silk handspun along with a skein of Sincere Sheep Vernal (silk/linen). I had a mistake in the lace pattern somehow because my stitch counts got off so I ripped back about 4 inches and am back on track. Finished spinning the 2018 CVM that I've been carding since November. Total yardage isn't calculated, but I spun almost 700 g (1.5 lbs) of yarn. I have three colors. Dark and medium blue-green and then a red-purple. They were all dyed with the same dyes and the colors were blended in the batts.  Combing the remaining CVM. I have two-pitch wool combs from Red Barn Farm from long ago. I had about 1.5 lbs left of the fleece that I plan to comb. So far I have about 120 g of combed top. I timed myself to see how long it took to comb an ounce (28 g) of fiber. It took about 45 minutes and I got 4 balls (about 14 g) of combed top. Slow process with lots of waste. But the fiber is really nice! Washing Ernest. First time processing merino. Very greasy. Six 1 lb batches. Overnight cold soak of the whole fleece. Two very hot washes in a pot on a burner using Dawn. Two very hot rinses. Still greasy. Two batches got an extra wash and seem a little felted.  International Tour de Fleece YouTube binge: Mijn Wolden: Jente spins and dyes mostly local Belgian wool. She does all the fiber crafts with her handspun. Etienne is somewhere in Québec. He spins on a Canadian production wheel.  Also watched Knitting with Ève (Montreal) and Piiamt (Estonia) Tour de Fleece content.  Summer Spin In  Now until September 1. All spinning and making with handspun yarn counts. Preparing fleeces also counts. Let's go! Monterey County Fair Wool Show See page 31 of the exhibitor handbook for these details. Fleece Judging: Saturday, August 9, 9 am at the Fairgrounds. In person at the Fairgrounds in the wool room and on Zoom. Message me if you want the Zoom link. Sheila January is judging. Handspun and handcrafted judging is usually the next day, same time and location. Wool Auction: Labor Day, Monday, September 1. At the Community Stage rather than the Livestock pole barn. Auction goers get into the fairgrounds before the fair opens to the public. Enter at Gate 3, auction starts about 11:30 but there is open viewing time for at least an hour or so prior. I think I arrived about 9 am last year.  Lambtown Festival Lambtown is October 4-5 (workshops start Oct 2) in Dixon, CA.  2KnitLitChicks Podcast Get Together  September 18-21 at Lake Tahoe, CA

In a political climate that is more partisan and polarized than ever, the idea of working together for the common good seems impossible. State Representative Meredith Dixon has a different view.  Her approach - one which is focused on bringing people together - is getting results for the people of Albuquerque and all of New Mexico. Rep. Dixon is one of the founders of New Mexico Women Lead, the organization that sponsors the Building an Advanced Energy Ecosystem conference.  This year it takes place on September 15-16 at the Sandia Resort & Casino near Albuquerque, NM. 

In this episode, I sit down with Bea Dixon, founder + CEO of The Honey Pot Company, for an honest conversation about purpose, entrepreneurship and pushing through adversity. She has dominated the women's wellness space, giving us organic and safe products to use–one that I personally use and love. What I love most is, how unapologetic Bea is when it comes to her success. She truly left me inspired and I know you will be too!
