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'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.

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: UPDATE: Marietta School Board Bans 23 More Books The Marietta Board of Education voted 6-1 to remove 23 books deemed "sexually explicit" from the Marietta High School library, including "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl." 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.

The program, in partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School, provided training on strategic priority setting, building effective city hall organizations, and delivering promises to constituents. 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. The bench will be the 33rd location worldwide and the first in Cobb County under the Bench by the Road Project, aimed at providing a reflective space to remember the enslaved, their forgotten lives, and Toni Morrison's writings.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

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.

We look into Dan's world, which is pretty boring, but he does share his new favorite book "Me and Earl, and the Dying Girl." From their we go to Alex Williams, founder and lead singer of Alex Williams. Two albums, new-old country, and we talk about vinyl and its resurgence. I am looking forward to buying his albums. He regals his time in Nashville, the download and instant gratification society we live in, and where in the f$#@ is Vanceburg KY. Then we shift gears and Herking the Bear Slayer comes out.

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.

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.

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.

Guest: Alfonso Gomez-Rejon is an Emmy-nominated director known for American Horror Story (2014), and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015).

Host: Shanee Edwards graduated from UCLA Film School with an MFA in Screenwriting and is currently the film critic for SheKnows.com.
