MDJ Script/ Top Stories for Dec 30th        Publish Date:  Dec 29th      Commercial: Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.  Today is Saturday, December 30th and Happy 87th Birthday to HOF pitcher Sandy Koufax. ***12.30.23 - BIRTHDAY - SANDY KOUFAX*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Cobb Unemployment Drops Below 3% Kennesaw Council Newcomer Ready to Take on Wildman's Civil War Surplus Cobb Civil War Round Table Examines Gen. Joseph E. Johnston   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    STORY 1: Cobb Unemployment Drops Below 3% In November, Cobb County's unemployment rate dropped to 2.8%, down from 3.1% in October but higher than 2.4% in November 2022. The county's labor force increased by 295, with 431,345 employed and 12,226 unemployed. The rise in unemployment is attributed to individuals re-entering the workforce post-COVID-19. Economist Roger Tutterow notes that the increased unemployment rate isn't concerning if job cuts aren't occurring, highlighting a significant increase in employed workers. Marietta's November unemployment rate was 2.7%, while Smyrna's remained at 3.2%. Cobb County's unemployment rate is lower than Atlanta's (3.1%) and Georgia's (3.4%), both below the national rate of 3.7%. STORY 2: Kennesaw Council Newcomer Ready to Take on Wildman's Civil War Surplus Madelyn Orochena, newly elected to Kennesaw City Council, aims to close Wildman's Civil War Surplus, a Confederate-themed store in the city's downtown. Orochena, who views the store as a hindrance to progress, plans to pursue legal action or code enforcement to shut it down. While previous blight complaints were dismissed, Orochena, an arts enthusiast, hopes to transform the downtown into a vibrant destination with a diverse range of shops. She initiated a mural installation near Wildman's, emphasizing her commitment to public art. Orochena also advocates for pedestrian safety, affordable housing, and the city's overall growth and improvement. STORY 3: Cobb Civil War Round Table Examines Gen. Joseph E. Johnston Historian Richard McMurry discussed Gen. Joseph E. Johnston at a meeting of the Civil War Round Table of Cobb County. McMurry's latest book, "The Civil Wars of General Joseph E. Johnston," provides a critical analysis of Johnston's campaigns during the Civil War. Johnston, once considered a premier Confederate general, faced challenges defending Atlanta against Gen. William T. Sherman. McMurry's research debunked long-held myths about Johnston, revealing his strategic shortcomings and conflicts with fellow officers. The discussion delved into Johnston's Atlanta campaign, which ultimately resulted in Atlanta's fall to the Union Army led by Sherman.     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: ESOG – TEDS   STORY 4: No. 2: Democratic Cobb Commissioners Defy State by Drawing Their Own District Lines The second-ranking local story of 2023 in Cobb County involves a redistricting controversy that unfolded during the first Board of Commissioners meeting. The Democratic majority, leveraging Georgia's home rule powers, replaced the state-approved commission district map with its own, challenging the legality of the move. Republican Commissioners JoAnn Birrell and Keli Gambrill abstained from voting, leading to their removal from the dais. The dispute centers on whether Georgia counties can independently draw district maps. A lawsuit, initiated by Gambrill and continued by Cobb residents Catherine and David Floam, challenges the county's map, seeking a declaration of its unconstitutionality and validation of the legislature's map. The court is expected to issue a ruling soon. STORY 5: No. 3: Cobb School Board Map Thrown into Question by Lawsuit The third-ranked local story of 2023 in Cobb County involves a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Cobb Board of Education's districts. The lawsuit alleged an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, leading to a federal judge's order for the General Assembly to draw new districts by January 10. The judge issued a preliminary injunction, preventing future elections using the current school board map. The school district, which spent over $1.3 million defending the map, appealed the injunction to the 11th Circuit of Appeals. The contentious issue revolves around accusations of packing and bleaching voters based on race, with the school board's Republican majority drawing the map after the 2020 census.   We'll be back in a moment    Break: DRAKE – INGLES 6     STORY 6: Judge upholds new Georgia congressional, legislative maps U.S. District Judge Steve Jones ruled that federal judges lack the authority to redistribute political power between parties, upholding Georgia's new legislative and congressional maps. The maps were redrawn during a special session following lawsuits alleging Voting Rights Act violations. Jones ordered additional Black-majority districts, aiming for Democratic gains. Despite legislative leaders crafting maps to maintain Republican advantages, Jones ruled that partisan decisions alone don't violate the Voting Rights Act. He upheld the new maps, including the elimination of a coalition district, deeming it moot. Rep. Lucy McBath plans to run in the new Black-majority district, emphasizing the importance of voters' will. STORY 7: No. 4: Books, Bans and 'Good and Evil' The culture wars hit Cobb and Marietta school districts as book bans ignited tensions. Cobb Schools Superintendent Chris Ragsdale fired teacher Katie Rinderle for reading "My Color is Purple" to students. Despite protests, the Cobb Board of Education upheld Rinderle's termination, prompting an appeal to the Georgia Board of Education. In August, Ragsdale removed "Flamer" and "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" for "sexually explicit content." Marietta Superintendent Grant Rivera followed suit, sparking protests. Both superintendents faced criticism and support for their decisions amid a broader debate on book censorship and education.     Break: Henssler :60  Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

Superintendent Grant Rivera's decision to deny a parent's appeal for the book's removal was also upheld. The decision followed a review by a committee that focused on sexually explicit content. The list of books faced criticism for targeting themes related to race and LGBTQ issues. The board voted to sunset the directive on January 11, 2024. A parent plans to appeal the decision, raising concerns about the removal of diverse perspectives. STORY 2: Cobb OKs More Probate Court Positions Amid Staffing Debate Cobb County commissioners voted 4-1 to approve three new staff positions for the Probate Court after the chief judge, Kelli Wolk, highlighted the court's "dramatic understaffing." The approved positions include a hearing officer, a court support supervisor, and a deputy clerk. Wolk argued that the lack of personnel has led to logjams in workflows, causing delays for litigants. The decision faced criticism from Commissioner Keli Gambrill, who opposed approving additional staff positions outside the normal budgeting process. The three positions will be funded through the end of this fiscal year using fund balance. STORY 3: Cobb Commission OKs Project List for 30-year Transit Tax with Republicans Opposed The Cobb County Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 along party lines to approve a project list for a proposed 1% sales tax referendum for public transit improvements over 30 years. The estimated $11 billion tax, if approved by voters in November, will fund a new rapid bus system and other transit projects across the county. The Mobility Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (M-SPLOST) envisions 108 miles of bus rapid transit (BRT) and arterial rapid transit (ART) routes. The Republican commissioners criticized the tax for its length and cost, questioning whether the system would be used enough to justify its expense.

Owens found the experience "priceless," learning from Harvard academics, former mayors, and his peers. He emphasized the importance of the valuable network gained and the opportunity to exchange ideas for better city governance. STORY 5: Local Historic Preservation Group Gets Bench Honoring Enslaved Residents of Cobb The Friends of the Concord Covered Bridge, a historic preservation organization in Cobb, has been awarded the Toni Morrison Society's "Bench By the Road" project to honor former enslaved residents. The organization plans to install a commemorative bench in the Concord Covered Bridge neighborhood to recognize all previously enslaved people in Cobb County, particularly the family of Matilda Ruff.

BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: Marietta Council Adopts New Ward Map The Marietta City Council recently voted unanimously to adopt a new ward map as mandated by federal law, following the 10-year census. The objective is to ensure equal population distribution among the city's wards, with around 8,710 residents in each ward. The Marietta Board of Education follows the same ward map. A committee led by Councilman Joseph Goldstein, along with other members and a non-voting school board representative, presented two map options that closely resembled the previous one. The council chose the second option, which maintains a school and a park in each ward and keeps council members in their respective wards. The decision was made after two public hearings, with a 7-0 vote in favor........…….Get more stories like this from mdjonline.com     STORY 2: Acworth Mayor Talks New Developments and Bids Councilmen Farewell Acworth's Fall Town Hall, led by Mayor Tommy Allegood, celebrated the city's achievements and future prospects. Major highlights included the arrival of Whataburger and City Barbecue on Highway 41, near Mars Hill Road, along with an Angry Crab Shack. A new hotel is set to be built near downtown Acworth, a project in the works for a decade. The city has purchased land for a Marriott SpringHill Suites and is collaborating with a developer from Thomasville. The town hall also introduced city staff and marked the farewell of outgoing council members Butch Price and Gene Pugliese, who emphasized the city's growth and its exceptional staff.   STORY 3: Marietta Parent Challenges Removal of “Flamer” from School Library A parent in Marietta has appealed the removal of the book "Flamer" by Mike Curato from Marietta High School's library. The removal of this book, along with "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl," was prompted by concerns raised by a parent and the Marietta school board members, citing sexually explicit content. However, a new process was created that allows for the appeal of such removals. The parent, Kayla Sargent, argues that "Flamer" does not contain harmful or pornographic content and can serve educational purposes. The book tells the story of a gay 14-year-old boy facing bullying and self-acceptance. The ongoing debate over book censorship, sexuality, and gender has been a contentious issue in recent board meetings and tribunals in the area. The school district is now in the process of reviewing the appeal before reaching a decision.......................…..(pause)   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

The victims were Shawna Leonard, 54, and Joshua Payton, 27. Preliminary findings suggest a lone suspect approached the establishment and shot and killed Leonard and Payton before fleeing in a vehicle. The suspect's vehicle was located via Flock cameras, and officers attempted to stop it, but the suspect took their own life. This incident is believed to be isolated between known individuals, and there is no threat to the public. The motive and the relationship between the victims and the shooter remain unknown, and the investigation is ongoing. Police encourage anyone with information to contact the Cobb County Police Tip Hotline.   STORY 5: Man Indicted in Killing of Social Media Influencer A Cobb grand jury has indicted 21-year-old Eugene Tobi Louis Jacques for the murder of Beauty Couch, a social media influencer. Jacques faces charges of murder, aggravated assault, arson, concealing the death of another, and tampering with evidence in relation to Couch's death. Her body was discovered near her burned-out vehicle on August 23, and Jacques is accused of killing her on either August 22 or the 23rd. After the discovery, Jacques was apprehended by sheriff's deputies in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, and was awaiting extradition to Cobb. Couch, known for her Instagram influence and roller skating videos, had over 150,000 followers on the platform. Jacques is alleged to have murdered her by repeatedly stabbing her and setting her vehicle on fire.   We'll be back in a moment Break: DAYCO – DRAKE – POWERS   STORY 6: International artists chalk up Marietta Marietta's Chalktoberfest brought an artistic spectacle to Glover Park, with Sacramento artist Nestor Mendoza crafting a massive chalk drawing of Superman that captivated around 50,000 spectators. The event, celebrating its 10th year, featured 83 artists, including international participants. Local businesses and the city of Marietta sponsored artists, and craft beer sales benefited the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art. The event had an estimated annual economic impact of $6.2 million. Despite looming rain, the artwork mostly remained intact. Chalktoberfest provided a creative outlet for artists and a vibrant cultural experience for the community, drawing empty-nesters and art enthusiasts alike.   STORY 7: FOOTBALL UPDATE In high school football action, Osborne's historic 7-0 start continued with a 28-7 victory over Cherokee, keeping them in contention for their first-ever state playoff berth. Their defense capitalized on two turnovers, leading 14-0 at halftime. Despite Cherokee's defense limiting Osborne's offensive output, turnovers proved crucial. Coach Luqman Salam emphasized self-improvement over opponents. North Cobb, without their starting running back and quarterback, displayed a "next-man-up" mentality in their 63-27 victory against Wheeler. Jamauri Major scored five touchdowns, and Josiah Alexander contributed two. Harrison narrowly missed a comeback in a 24-22 loss to North Paulding. Walton dominated Kennesaw Mountain 49-0, achieving their first shutout of the season, with a potent offense led by Austin Williams and Makari Bodiford.

MDJ  Script/ Top Stories for Sept 9th Publish Date:  Sept 9th   Commercial:  Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast    Today is Saturday Sept 9th and happy 56th birthday to actor Adam Sandler ***SANDLER*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia Marietta now joins Cobb in removing controversial books from the school library. State senator renews call for special session on Trump indictment Kennesaw plans to lower millage rate 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 subcribe! Commercial : ESOG - Elon   STORY 1: School Library Removes Controversial Book   Two books, "Flamer" by Mike Curato and "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" by Jesse Andrews, which were previously available in Marietta High School's library, have been removed in response to a complaint from a Marietta parent. Cobb County School District removed these books from 20 school libraries last month due to "highly inappropriate, sexually explicit content." The removal decision sparked debate, with Marietta Schools Superintendent Grant Rivera initially stating he trusted staff judgment and cited a process for addressing concerns. However, following the complaint, the books were removed from Marietta High School's library. Rivera emphasized his commitment to age-appropriate content and respect for board policy, clarifying that his role is to adhere to established procedures................……... read more about this at mdjonline.com     STORY 2: Trump Indictment Special Session   Freshman state Senator Colton Moore is urging a special session of the General Assembly in Atlanta to investigate, defund, and potentially impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for her role in indicting former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants. They are accused of conspiring to overturn Georgia's 2020 presidential election results. Moore, representing Northwest Georgia, argues that his constituents don't want their tax dollars supporting what he sees as corruption. He claims that the actions taken by Trump and others were exercising their First Amendment rights to free speech. However, Governor Brian Kemp and most legislators have not supported a special session, leading to disagreements within the Republican party on this issue.   STORY 3: Kennesaw plans to lower millage rate   Kennesaw's City staff is recommending that the City Council reduce the millage rate from 8 mills to 7.75 mills in the upcoming budget. This decision follows a public hearing on the budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2023, and ending September 30, 2024. The proposed budget of $29.4 million represents a 6% increase from the previous year. Notably, it includes a 3% cost of living raise for staff and relies heavily on tax revenue, with around 80% of the general fund coming from taxes. The largest expenditures are in public safety, general government, and public works. Economic growth and increased property tax revenue have allowed for the millage rate reduction, benefiting most homeowners. The final budget adoption is scheduled for September 18, 2023.........…..(pause) We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

The event celebrated Atlanta's professional soccer team and was organized in partnership with Scana Energy. The school was selected as the Atlanta United Flags Out School for September, thanks to the efforts of the school's secretary, Stacy Meriaux, who noticed many students wearing Atlanta United gear. During the pep rally, Westberg and Muyumba congratulated the students on the school's new soccer club and shared their journeys to becoming professional soccer players. They encouraged the students to remain confident, consistent, and to embrace the challenges of competition, emphasizing that discomfort can lead to progress.   STORY 5: East Cobber Parade   The East Cobber Parade and Festival is making a return after a three-year hiatus. The 25th annual event is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Originally launched in 1995, the parade has become one of Cobb County's prominent annual events, featuring music, costumes, floats, marching bands, and attracting thousands of participants and spectators. The parade and festival aim to foster a sense of community in East Cobb, showcasing local schools, businesses, and community members. The parade will have over 1,000 participants representing various groups and will be followed by a free community festival featuring entertainment, arts and crafts, concessions, carnival games, and local businesses. The event holds special significance for the local schools, with principals and Teachers of the Year being honored as VIPs. STORY 6:  Childhood Cancer Awareness Month Marietta city officials have partnered with the Mighty Millie Foundation to declare September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The foundation was established by Nick and Claire Mracek in memory of their daughter Millie, who battled embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue childhood cancer, and sadly passed away at the age of three. The proclamation aims to raise awareness about childhood cancer, the need for increased funding and research, and to support local families affected by this disease. On average, 47 children are diagnosed with cancer daily in the U.S., making it the second leading cause of death in children after firearms. The Mighty Millie Foundation continues to advocate for research and support for children and families dealing with cancer.   We'll be back in a moment   Break:   Powers  - Ingles 6 - JRM               STORY 7:  Viral One Chip Challenge   Following the tragic death of a Massachusetts teen who consumed the viral One Chip Challenge, the manufacturer, Paqui, has decided to discontinue the challenge and remove the product from store shelves. The 14-year-old boy died on September 1 after consuming the extremely spicy chip, which is seasoned with Carolina Reaper and Naga Viper peppers. The challenge encouraged participants to eat the entire chip and endure the extreme heat without consuming anything else to quench the spice. Despite warnings against participation by children and individuals with medical conditions, the challenge gained popularity on social media. Paqui is recalling the product "out of an abundance of caution" and offering refunds to customers who have purchased it.   STORY 8: Halloween Hikes   Halloween Hikes, now in its 38th year at Chattahoochee Nature Center, offers a non-scary, educational nighttime adventure for families from October 27th to 29th, between 6 and 10 p.m. This year, the event has introduced a more flexible schedule with hiking sessions departing every six minutes, allowing families to tailor their experience. Participants can explore nature at night on paved Wildlife Walk and ADA-compliant River Boardwalk Trail, encountering costumed characters who share insights about their critters. The event also features games, crafts, music, and food options, including a firepit area for families to relax and a cocktail bar for adults.   …Back with final thoughts after   Break:  Teds - Henssler 60 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

In 2022, book bans in United States schools and libraries are at their highest since the ALA Office of Intellectual Freedom started collecting data. Bans are happening around the country, in every state, and disproportionately affecting books by and about LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC people. What's more, challenges are likely underreported, because librarians who are resisting them are facing unprecedented workplace retribution and in some cases physical danger.Book Bans are on the ballot on November 8th, in every state and local election, up and down the ticket. State legislatures, local town councils, county leadership and school boards are being overrun with candidates supported by conservative activists looking to limit access to books and ideas that offer identity, empathy, awareness, and power to young people around the country. We're concerned, so today, we're releasing a special episode of Fated Mates focused on book bans across the country. We interview three experts on what's happening, who is most impacted, and how we can all help. Show notes are extensive, and we hope you'll take a look at them.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are exploring the mysteries of the universe… Just kidding, we're actually stealing a bunch of money from insane murderers in the 2021 film from Chase Palmer, Naked Singularity.Ya know how, when you're busy trying to steal a bunch of life-changing money, you feel a connection with the entire universe, nay, the multi-verse, and your connection with the ethereal messes with everything?That's a relatable feeling, right? We've all been there.Or maybe you're trying to defend an innocent person in court and the system isn't prepared to see your client as a human being. Out of nowhere, you find yourself floating about a foot off the ground for indiscernable reasons. Could happen to anybody.Or you're in a firefight alongside a bunch of Rabbi mobsters. You're battling it out, guns ablazing and tear gas canisters a-poppin'. You end up stabbing someone through the stomach with your giant katana sword. Just another Tuesday.Everything I've described happens in this film.

In this week's episode, we talk about something that infuriates us more than anything else - banned books. The original idea was to talk about ban books from around the world, but we focus a lot on the 10 most popular banned books in America. Book bans and challenges aren't new, and it's extremely frustrating to see challenges focused on gender identity, race, sexual orientation and racism. Current times have seen a significant increase in book challenges and we wanted to focus on and bring attention to the books that are being targeted.  What We Read and What We Are Reading: Stuck with You (The STEMinist Novellas #2) by Ali Hazelwood Lotus by Jennifer Hartman All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata Noodle and the No Bones Day written by Jonathan Graziano and illustrated by Dan Travis The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and narrated by Shayna Small Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus Fangirl Vol. 2 - the Manga by Rainbow Rowell and adapted by Sam Magg and illustrated by Gabi Nam.

Many school boards across the country – including in central Pennsylvania – have been called on to take certain books out of school libraries. Often, the complaints are that the books are obscene with too much sex, the books contain stories of same-sex relationships or that they promote racial stereotypes or are critical of a race. Some of the books that are called into question are considered classics. When the book Me and Earl and the Dying Girl was challenged in Elizabethtown, a group of women formed Freedom Readers – a club to read banned books and eventually provide reviews or summaries on their Facebook page. Freedom Readers Judi Grove, former teacher Liz Lewis and former school principal and administrator Becky Hostetler join us on Tuesday's Smart Talk.
