The Kell boys surged forward with a big fourth quarter to break open a close game and defeat Dutchtown 73-60 in the quarterfinals of the Class five A state basketball tournament on Tuesday. Kell) outscored Dutchtown 23-10 over the final 8 minutes to advance to the state semifinals, which will be played at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton on Friday at 8 p.m. It's the third time in four years they have made it to the state semifinals. Kell finished as state runner-up in Class AAAAA in 2020 and Class AAAAAA in '21. Four Kell players scored in double figures, with Peyton Marshall leading the way with 17 points, Jaylen Colon and C.J. Brown adding 16 points and Parrish Johnson contributing 10. On the girls' side, Kell rode the momentum it built with a strong first half to a 68-54 victory over Bradwell Institute in the quarterfinals of the Class Five A state girls basketball tournament on Tuesday. The used a hot shooting hand in the first half – hitting seven 3-pointers – to take a 38-22 halftime lead and held off Bradwell Institute in the second to advance to the state semifinals, where it will play Maynard Jackson at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton on Friday at 6 p.m. It will be Kell's third final four appearance, who were state runners-up in Class Five A in 2020 and a Class Six A semifinalist last year. Crystal Henderson scored 32 points with six assists. Makayah Harris added 18 points and Jada Green had 10 points and eight rebounds to lead the way. Publix sued Cobb County this week over the county government's involvement in an opioid lawsuit, alleging the county improperly hired a trio of outside law firms to sue the supermarket chain over its distribution of prescription drugs. Filed in Cobb Superior Court, the suit suggests the county was “lured” into the opioid litigation by the firms' “promises of a windfall,” and alleges the county violated multiple laws when it brought them on nearly five years ago. Cobb filed an initial suit in July 2018 against a number of drug manufacturers and pharmacies including Purdue Pharma, Johnson & Johnson, CVS, Kroger and Walmart, and then in 2019 the suit expanded to include the Sackler family, which founded and owned Purdue Pharma, and additional firms including Publix. The suit alleged drugs sold by Publix — one of the county's 10 largest employers — made up “a substantial market share” in Cobb. Publix's litigation filed this week argues otherwise, saying that even the Publix pharmacy in Cobb which dispensed the highest number of opioids doesn't rank in the county's top 35 distributors. The main concern of the new lawsuit, however, is not the merits of the opioid litigation, but the manner in which the county hired firms Simmons Hanly Conroy, Crueger Dickinson, and von Briesen & Roper. The litigation says county leaders improperly decided to hire the firms in executive session with no public record, that the county improperly delegated the handling of the original opioid lawsuit to a private firm, and that the firms hold a conflict of interest in that they represent a number of jurisdictions across the country; thus, they cannot be expected to act solely in Cobb's best interests. It also claims that per the contract, the firms will collectively receive 25% of the total settlement awarded to the county. The county declined to provide a copy of the contract with the three firms without an open records request, which the MDJ has filed. The county declined to comment further on the litigation. Anyone who has the free Cobb County Sheriff's Office mobile app will now be able to keep track of registered sex offenders in the county. Cobb Sheriff Craig Owens announced at a press conference Tuesday that there are just over 600 registered sex offenders in Cobb, and the new feature from OffenderWatch will help keep the community safe in different ways. Owens said the partnership between OffenderWatch and the Cobb Sheriff's Office's app will save his deputies time and money, as they will now be able to see when sex offenders move out of the county through the app. OffenderWatch's technology will also give the sheriff's office the chance to collaborate more closely with other law enforcement agencies, such as the U.S. Marshals Service, on sex crime investigations. F.J. Eastman, OffenderWatch's national business director, said the technology connects a parent's phone with their child's, allowing parents to track when their children encounter a sex offender. He said parents will also receive notifications when their children are in the area of a known sex offender. Eastman also talked about a “no-go zone” on the app, which allows parents to enter the addresses of people they do not want their children to be around and get notified when their child is with that person. A Smyrna woman won a national award for her volunteer work with Keep Smyrna Beautiful. Liz Davis, a Keep Smyrna Beautiful board member, won the 2022 Keep America Beautiful Lady Bird Johnson Award. Each year, the award recognizes one outstanding volunteer who must have at least 10 years of service in helping their local community become cleaner, greener and more beautiful, according to the city of Smyrna. The award is named after former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson, who engaged Americans in recognizing that aesthetic beauty is directly related to a better quality of life.  Davis has been on Keep Smyrna Beautiful's board of directors for almost 20 years, and recently stepped down as board chair after 10 years of service in the role. In addition to her work with the local affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, Davis was a founding member of Williams Park Neighbors, served on the parks commission and was named Smyrna Citizen of the Year in 2011. Davis accepted the award on February 22 at the Keep America Beautiful Conference in Washington, D.C.

Most everyone around the organization is smart enough to keep their mouths shut on that subject. But a growing number of Bombers think this could be the best 1-through-5 since the last championship in 2009. And part of the excitement is the current competition for the 5th spot between Domingo German (Heir-Mon) and Allatoona grad Clarke Schmidt. The Yankees can't stop talking about Schmidt and his recent discovery of a cut-fastball. It has a subtle, late break that devastated the Braves on Sunday. Five of the six outs Schmidt registered were by strikeouts. The 27-year-old righty arrived in camp slotted for long relief, but he now has other ideas. Schmidt was introduced to the cutter by Trevor Bauer, although not directly. Schmidt instead found an old YouTube video Bauer shot for the benefit of amateur pitchers eager to learn the craft. Sitting in a hotel room in street clothes, Bauer explains the grip, the release point and the desired spin of each pitch. Schmidt watched, transfixed, as Bauer broke down the aerodynamics of his cutter. Schmidt decided he should give the pitch a try, and when he tested it on some of his teammates in practice, they encouraged him to use it more often, which now may result in him being in the starting rotation. The 27-year-old Acworth native was the 16th overall pick by the Yankees in 2017 out of the University of South Carolina. He earned his first Major League win last season on April 29th. #CobbCounty #Marietta #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.

Maureen Sweeney McCuen, St. Joseph Housing Initiative Executive Director talks with Debbie and Tom about the Dutchtown neighborhood and what St. Mary's means to the community.

A person was killed Friday after being buried by a collapsed trench at a Smyrna home. The collapse occurred at a home on Wells Drive, according to Smyrna Fire Department spokesperson Eric Mohrmann. The incident occurred Friday afternoon while the person was working in the trench, MDJ news partner Fox 5 Atlanta reported. Mohrmann said responding firefighters found the person fully buried upon arrival and initiated a “trench rescue.” First responders also called in back-up from additional Smyrna Fire Department units and Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services, per Mohrmann. Mohrmann said the person was confirmed dead at the scene, and the Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office and U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been contacted. Officials have not disclosed the identity of the person who was killed.   Cobb County commissioners are considering changing the county's stormwater management fees from what Chairwoman Lisa Cupid called an “inequitable” system Tuesday. But what form those changes might take remains very much open for discussion after an afternoon work session on the subject. Presently, residents who live in unincorporated Cobb pay a stormwater fee to the county based on their water usage. Customers with more water usage therefore pay more for stormwater service. But Judy Jones, Cobb's water system director, noted that arrangement isn't reflective of who generates the most runoff, which has more to do with impervious surface area — pavement, buildings, and the like. Jones provided commissioners with the example of a drug store and a fast food restaurant. Though the drug store could generate more runoff by having a larger impervious surface area (a bigger parking lot, for example), the restaurant would pay more for stormwater by virtue of its higher water use. The example also applies to thousands of customers who live outside a city limit but purchase their water from a city. That means they don't pay the county for stormwater services. About 5,000 such customers, for example, live in unincorporated Cobb to the east of Marietta proper. The proposed change would shift the stormwater calculation to one based off impervious surfaces, which according to Jones is the preferred method of more than 60 jurisdictions in Georgia. The discussion originated with last year's floods which caused millions in property damage in east Cobb. In the aftermath, the county repeatedly said it doesn't have the resources to conduct all the maintenance its system needs, and the proposal to explore a fee change was floated as a way to provide stormwater with its own dedicated revenue source. But County Manager Jackie McMorris said changing the fee structure wouldn't be a “panacea” for severe flooding issues. It will still be up to the board, Jones said, if it pursues the impervious-based stormwater fee and whether it would come with any expansion of services. The county could also cut some services, like maintenance on certain detention ponds which were dedicated to the county.   Marietta is set to host the third annual Lemon Street Classic at Marietta High School, December 17-20. The boys high school basketball event, which will have 31 games over three days and highlight 25 schools, including seven ranked in the top 10 of their respective classifications, is presented by Superior Plumbing. Ranked schools include Number 1s Alexander in Class 6A and McDonough in Class 4A. Eagles Landing in Number 2 in Class 5A, Lovett is Number 3 in Class 4A, Dutchtown is ranked seventh in Class 5A, North Cobb Christian comes in ninth in Class 2A and Etowah is 10th in Class 6A. There are also four teams from out of state — Albany Academy from New York, Louisville-Western from Kentucky, Blythewood from South Carolina and Christ School from North Carolina. The Lemon Street Classic is played in honor of the former Lemon Street School and its athletes. Lemon Street was a place of community and pride for the Black community in Marietta and throughout Cobb County. The last graduating class was in 1966 before its integration with Marietta High School. Marietta, which will play its first game of the event at 8 p.m. against North Cobb Christian, will once again wear the throwback Lemon Street jerseys during the tournament. While the Lemon Street Classic has been planned all year, Pope will also host a tournament next weekend which was taken over close to the last minute. Alpharetta was originally supposed to host the event, but because of unforeseen circumstances, could not. Instead it will be the Pope-Alpharetta Holiday Tournament.  Like Santa's sleigh minus the reindeer, a CobbLinc bus laden with presents is traveling around Cobb County this week collecting Christmas gifts for local kids whose families can't afford presents. The “Stuff-A-Bus” toy drive, which kicked off Tuesday, is a partnership between the Cobb County Department of Transportation, CobbLinc and Cobb Christmas Inc., a volunteer-run nonprofit whose sole purpose is providing toys to kids at Christmastime. Toys can be donated at any location on the bus's itinerary, which runs through Thursday. Locations include Wellstar Health Park Acworth, the Kennesaw State University campus and Laseter's Tavern in Vinings. Cobb Christmas gives at least three toys to each child, which are distributed at Marietta's Center for Family Resources in large black bags so parents can keep the toys hidden until Christmas. According to Cobb Christmas, last year's drive provided toys to roughly 1,000 children. The full schedule for Stuff-A-Bus bus can be found at Cobb Christmas dot net slash stuff dash a dash bus. New, unopened toys may also be dropped off at the Cobb Christmas distribution site, IAM Lodge 709 on South Marietta Parkway from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m today. Kennesaw State University senior Bonga Maswanganye (Mas-Wang-An-Yee) said it was an often-misunderstood hobby that led him to his now promising career path as a programmer and virtual designer. The Marietta resident and computer game design and development major is set to graduate December 15 and go to work in the video game industry after picking among several offers. Bonga hasn't only prepared for his career through coursework and theory at KSU. For several semesters, he worked at KSU's Realities Lab within the College of Computing and Software Engineering, developing virtual reality games on which local businesses train their employees. Kevin Markley, virtual reality software developer and Realities Lab manager, said Bonga wasn't just a worker at the lab - he was a major part of its success during the coronavirus pandemic's disruptions and beyond. When students and employees alike had to shift in a weekend to working from home, the lab's team still had project deadlines looming with three companies. Kevin said Bonga was one of the main reasons those projects for companies, including Cobb EMC, stayed on track. Kevin said Bonga, who he called an "avid seeker of knowledge," kept working over the summer, even as he'd traveled to South Africa to visit family, to make sure any project bugs were addressed and lab needs filled. Kevin is excited for Bonga, and a little jealous of his future co-workers in the gaming industry. Christmas is a special time of celebration for families. Unfortunately, too many hard-working families find themselves coming up short at holiday time and are unable to provide Christmas toys for their children. This year, Mount Paran Christian School's high school Beta Club and National Honor Society members joined forces with Mission 1:27. During the week of November 28 to December 2, MPCS sponsored a school-wide toy collection, with families, faculty and staff contributing more than 500 toys and donations with a retail value in excess of $11,000. Approximately 30 Beta Club and NHS high school students gathered the new, unwrapped toys and assisted with the Mission 1:27 Christmas Market shopping event on December 10. At the Mission 1:27 Christmas Market, families who are struggling financially found the latest and greatest toys and gifts at greatly reduced prices. All items were priced at 75-80% off retail, thus allowing families in challenging times to afford Christmas gifts for their children. The Mission 1:27 Christmas Market provides a unique giving opportunity because it provides three gifts in one: The gift of a toy at Christmas for a child whose parents might not otherwise be able to afford one. The gift of joy and dignity for the parents who are able to provide for their families and to select that perfect gift for their child. The gift of community as volunteers work together to stock the toy store with gifts that children will cherish. This is the second year that MPCS student volunteers have supported Mission 1:27 Christmas Market, but 2022 marks the first year that the school hosted a toy collection drive as part of the third annual MPCS Family Christmas event.        See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Caya Aufiero, Dutchtown Community Improvement District Chairperson talks with Carol and Tom about 

Tacos La Jefa is in St. Louis' Dutchtown neighborhood. The family restaurant was the subject of a recent episode of St. Louis Public Radio's podcast, "We Live Here Auténtico!" The podcast focuses on Latino culture and identity in St. Louis and beyond. This story begins with the matriarch of the Amezcua family, Heriberta Amezcua, also known as La Jefa, “the boss."

The current housing market has priced many people out, inflation and chain supply issues mean supplies to fix up homes are getting even more expensive. For neighborhoods like Dutchtown which has been struggling with decaying rental properties and abandoned homes, it could reverse progress that's been made. But a number of neighborhood organizations and non-profits are working hard to make sure that doesn't happen. KMOX's Debbie Monterrey goes in depth on the story. 

[WLHA 004]: We Live Here Auténtico! | Legacy, Community and Birria. For Tacos La Jefa…It's in the Sauce Today we are taking you on a delicious culinary journey to Tacos La Jefa in the heart of Dutchtown in St. Louis! Only sold on Saturdays, their delicious Birria and Quesabirria sell out EVERYTIME. Birria is a dish you cannot rush. It is a Mexican meaty stew from the state of Jalisco. The Quesabirria is a crunchy quesadilla with melted cheese and filled with hot, tender, juicy Birria meat that has been stained red by the chiles and spices that give it a deep, red color. Preparation is an extensive process so once they run out; they run out. This story begins with the matriarch of the Amezcua family – Heriberta Amezcua – also known as La Jefa, “the boss”. Heriberta's legacy is celebrated every day at Tacos La Jefa. Her daughter, Elizabeth, walks us through the journey of opening the restaurant, a longtime dream of her mother. Her granddaughter, Diana is the gatekeeper of the delicious Birria recipe. So listen and enjoy this loving family and the impact “the boss” had on the family and on the community.

As many as 400 Chinese Americans lived in a neighborhood called Hop Alley at its height in the early 20th century. Located at the corner of Market and Chestnut, the thriving community not only served as a refuge from overt racism but also as a small reflection of a culture left behind. Just press play to hear the whole story. ------- Click on search links to explore episodes with related content: Maggie Sullivan, Asian American - Pacific Islander American History,  Landmark Locations, Immigration, Business, ------ Podcast Transcript: I'm Maggie Sullivan, Researcher at the Missouri History Museum and Here's History on 88.1 KDHX. ------- St. Louis is known for diverse neighborhoods shaped by strong immigrant communities, the Hill, Carondelet, Bevo Mill, Dutchtown. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, downtown was home to St. Louis' very first Chinatown. As many as 400 Chinese Americans lived in a neighborhood called Hop Alley at its height in the early 20th century. The first Chinese immigrant to St. Louis was a young man named Alla Lee, who arrived in 1857. He settled in the Irish quarter near Biddle Street and married an Irish woman, Sarah Graham, sealing his acceptance into the Irish community. Lee ran a tea shop, his social standing and connection to the Irish keeping him and his children from the grueling work of a laundry business. ------- Most Chinese immigrant families in America ran laundries, a job that left little time for recreation and relaxation. They serviced mostly European Americans rather than their own communities. When launders finished their work or took a day off, they hurried to Hop Alley to spend time with their fellow countrymen and enjoy an atmosphere like their hometowns. ------- A small city block bordered by Market and Chestnut, St. Louis' Chinatown served as a refuge for Chinese culture. It was also a community center for people frequently harassed and persecuted by racial discrimination. With most of the laundry shops located outside Hop Alley, there were groceries, restaurants, tea shops and everything else Chinese Americans needed inside Hop Alley. As time passed, tea shops and restaurants attracted European Americans who previously disapproved of their Chinese neighbors. ------- The Chinese residents and business owners of Hop Alley introduced their culture to curious St. Louisans. Many Chinese St. Louisans learned English and American traditions at Sunday School. Even well to do Chinese families or those who converted to Christianity or spoke English fluently would return to Hop Alley for celebrations such as Chinese New Year, or weekly gatherings to share traditional home cuisine. ------ Hop Alley was demolished in the 1960s to make way for the second Busch Stadium. By then most Chinese American families had moved further west into the city or the suburbs. Photos remain attesting to the vibrancy of St. Louis' first Chinatown. ------ Here's History is a joint production of the Missouri History Museum and KDHX.
