BREAK: Ingles Markets 5 STORY 1: Early Voting in Cobb Commission Runoff Underway Early voting for the March 11 runoff in Cobb County’s District 2 special primary election has begun, with Democrats Erick Allen and Dr. Jaha Howard competing for the seat formerly held by Jerica Richardson. Neither candidate secured over 50% in the February primary. Key voter concerns include zoning, transportation, and LGBTQ+ rights. Early voting runs through March 7 at two locations, with Election Day on March 11. The winner will face Republican Alicia Adams on April 28. The election redo, ordered after a court ruling on district maps, could cost taxpayers $1.5 million. STORY 2: Cobb to Consider Gas Station, Drive-Thru on Austell Road The Cobb County Planning Commission will review a proposal for a gas station, convenience store, retail spaces, and a drive-thru restaurant on Austell Road near Pat Mell Road. The 3.83-acre site will replace an existing water damage recovery business with two new buildings: a 5,000-square-foot convenience store with eight fuel stations and attached retail spaces, and a 2,200-square-foot fast-food restaurant. The convenience store will operate 24/7, while other spaces will run 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Zoning staff supports the plan, recommending a 20-foot landscape buffer and lighting plans to protect nearby residential areas. STORY 3: Cobb and Douglas Public Health wants to expand services, but federal funding has grown more uncertain Lisa Crossman, deputy director of Cobb and Douglas Public Health, is focused on improving health services in South Cobb, where many residents lack insurance, healthy food options, and mental health resources. Plans include a $17.5 million health center offering services like cancer screenings, mental health care, and a food pantry. Federal funding delays, including $3 million from Sen. Jon Ossoff, threaten the project’s timeline. Local nonprofits like Sweetwater Mission and the Center for Family Resources support the initiative, emphasizing its importance for underserved residents. Crossman is seeking alternative funding to avoid significant delays, aiming for a 2026 opening. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Break: STORY 4: The Avenue West Cobb kicks off spring with first ever Bloom Campaign The Avenue West Cobb in Marietta is hosting BLOOM, a month-long eco-friendly event series from March 15 to April 22, celebrating spring and sustainable living. Highlights include: - **World Water Day** (March 22): Free water bottles, goodie bags, and donations benefiting Pure Water for the World, with a $100 gift card giveaway. - **Spring Fashion Preview** (March 24-28): Showcasing spring collections from retailers like J.

Local artist Sheena Yoe will also display her spring-inspired art collection. Visit avenuewestcobb.com/bloom for details. STORY 5: High Court Upholds Conviction of Mableton Murderer The Georgia Supreme Court upheld the murder conviction of David Nesbit, who fatally shot Gregory Gabriel during a 2020 altercation at a Mableton gas station. Nesbit initiated the dispute, firing the first shot, while Gabriel, unable to flee, was struck twice and later died. Nesbit fled the scene but was arrested over a week later, indicted in 2021, and sentenced to 35 years in 2022. His appeal for a new trial, citing ineffective counsel and alleged prosecutorial misconduct, was denied, with the Supreme Court affirming the conviction on Tuesday. Break: STORY 6: 'A Social Thing': New Wine Tasting Room Coming to Austell Divinely Elegant Vines, a wine tasting room and bottle shop in downtown Austell, will open on March 15. Founded by Jessena and Michael Waldo, the space offers 12 wine varietals, locally-sourced charcuterie, and an intimate, educational wine experience. The 1,000-square-foot venue features dark red and black decor, an outdoor patio, and events like wine tastings, classes, and live entertainment. The Waldos aim to foster community and share their passion for wine, with plans to expand in the future. The grand opening includes live music, food, and wine giveaways. Visit www.divinelyelegantvines.com for details. STORY 7: Georgia Senate Republicans pass religious freedom law, raising concerns about discrimination The Georgia Senate passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (SB 36) on Tuesday in a 32-23 party-line vote. The bill requires courts to prioritize religious customs in disputes unless there’s a “compelling government interest.” Proponents, like Sen. Ed Setzler, argue it protects religious rights, citing cases from other states. Critics, including Sen. RaShaun Kemp, warn it could enable discrimination against LGBTQ individuals and others, as the bill lacks anti-discrimination protections. Similar legislation was vetoed in 2016 due to backlash from civil rights groups and businesses. SB 36 now heads to the Georgia House for consideration.

Are you interested in the history of the Salem witch trials of 1692? Do you wonder if you have a genealogical connection to any of the people involved in it? It's a unique distinction since not everyone in New England was involved. If you have an ancestor whom you can somehow connect to Salem Village of Danvers, you may have a witch trials connection. The town of Salem was not the exact location of the witch trials. Though the trials bear the town's name, they occurred in neighboring Salem village. Today, Salem Village is known as Danvers, and you will find several original buildings and sites associated with the trials there...

In this episode of On Mission, Chris Pierno, Kate Fowler, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. discuss the Vocation to the married life and the Sacrament of Marriage, one of the seven sacraments, and how it is a spiritual and physical bond between the man and wife where the two become one flesh for the good of the couple and the procreation of children.They discuss in this episode the sacramental grace available to couples to draw from over the course of their marriage and the indissoluble nature of marriage. They make reference to the USCCB document Called to the Joy of Love is the national pastoral framework for marriage and family life ministry. In the Bible, Jesus and his mother Mary are present at the Wedding Feast at Cana and he turns the water into wine (John 2:1-12). With Jesus' attendance, he blessed their union, and by coming to their aid when the wine ran out, he offered his support. The marriage of a man and wife symbolizes the love that Christ has for his Church.

In this follow up to Marriage Part 1, in this episode of On Mission, Chris Pierno, Kate Fowler, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. discuss the Vocation to the married life and the Sacrament of Marriage, one of the seven sacraments, and how on going accompaniment in a couple's relationship is vital.They make reference to the USCCB document Called to the Joy of Love is the national pastoral framework for marriage and family life ministry. Accompaniment can be done among family members, friends, the parish, and the community at large. In the Bible, Jesus and his mother Mary are present at the Wedding Feast at Cana and he turns the water into wine (John 2:1-12). With Jesus' attendance, he blessed their union, and by coming to their aid when the wine ran out, he offered his support. The marriage of a man and wife symbolizes the love that Christ has for his Church.

After last month's announcement that the Atlanta Braves will soon become their own publicly traded company, team officials were quick to say little will change, baseball-wise. “From our perspective, from a Braves' team perspective, it's business as usual,” President and CEO Derek Schiller told investors at a November 17 meeting. Braves Chairman Terry McGuirk echoed that sentiment in a letter to workers for the Braves and the Battery Atlanta. But business-wise, the Braves' financial separation from owner Liberty Media could have significant implications down the road. The Braves are currently traded as a “tracking stock” — a subset of Liberty Media that's still tied to the firm's overall performance, but represents one of its subsidiaries. Pending approval by shareholders and Major League Baseball, the Braves will become a fully separate entity within the next six to eight months, executives have said. Fans and financiers alike will then be able to purchase a stake in the team. Liberty CEO Greg Maffei has said repeatedly the impetus for the spinoff comes from a desire to showcase the Braves' value independent of Liberty as a whole. The stock will represent not only the team and its assets, but the Battery Atlanta and the Braves Development Company, the latter of which manages the team's real estate holdings. The announcement itself came two weeks after Breach Inlet Capital, a South Carolina-based investment firm that counts itself among the Braves' top 25 shareholders, called for a spinoff of the stock. In an open letter to Liberty's board, the firm argued the Braves' tracking stock was trading at about 60% less than its true value. The letter pointed to the Braves' continued success, and argued the team is relatively undervalued compared to other major sports franchises. Breach Inlet Capital founder Chris Colvin speculated the Braves' undervaluation was due to Liberty's “confusing and convoluted structure,” referring to Liberty's ownership of Formula 1 racing, Sirius XM, and other media empires. In other words, the Braves' true value isn't apparent because it's tied up in Liberty's many and varied financial holdings. Mount Paran Christian School announced that Peter Hill is the new Head of Middle School, beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year. Hill comes to MPCS from Catholic Memorial School in Boston, Massachusetts, where he is a member of the Academic Leadership Team, a history teacher and varsity head soccer coach. With vast independent school experience, he has taught a variety of history courses, including AP Comparative Politics, where his students over the years have earned an astounding 94% pass rate. He has served as the International Student Coordinator, developed and implemented the faculty peer mentoring program, and advised and mentored faculty to better enable bilingual students using translanguaging pedagogy. Prior to Hill's time at Catholic Memorial, he taught at Marianapolis Preparatory School in Connecticut and St. Paul's School in New Hampshire. He holds a bachelor's degree in history from Dartmouth College and a master's degree in curriculum and instruction from Boston College. For Kim McCoy, head of the Cobb District Attorney's victim and witness office, the long road toward the county getting its own family advocacy center began 25 years ago. Way back in 1997, she and Jason Saliba, now Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney, toured San Diego's own center for victims and thought, “We've got to have this in Cobb County.” The center isn't quite open for business — District Attorney Flynn Broady said he expects it to open in March or April of 2023. But when it does, the location on Fairground Street will be a hub for victims and survivors of abuse to get help and resources under a single roof. The center was partially funded with a $400,000 grant from the state, and will be the first of its kind to open in Georgia. When family advocacy centers are implemented in communities, there's a corresponding reduction in domestic violence homicides, a reduction in childhood trauma, and with that, better outcomes for families. As part of that mission, the DA's office is partnering with several of Cobb's well-established nonprofits such as LiveSAFE Resources, the Center for Family Resources, and SafePath Children's Advocacy Center. Along with staff from the county and its public safety and prosecutorial partners, those nonprofits and community groups will have representatives on-site as well. Broady told the MDJ his office is working on setting up a 501(c)(3) nonprofit so that community members and businesses can support the center going forward. Walton's Jeremy Hecklinski wasted little time turning a breakout junior season into finding a place to play his college football. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound quarterback committed to Wake Forest on Wednesday, making his announcement on social media. Hecklinski is coming off a season in which he threw 3,520 yards, 37 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, while also running for five scores. Hecklinski played his best in arguably the biggest game of the season, in which he led Walton to an upset of Buford in the second round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs. In that game, he threw for 315 yards and two touchdowns in beating the Wolves — a consensus top-10 team nationally — on their home field. Hecklinski chose Wake Forest over offers from Central Florida, Georgia Southern and Eastern Kentucky. His recruiting was just starting to heat up, as it had been reported that Georgia, Georgia Tech, Cincinnati, Duke and Florida State had become interested. Hecklinski was expected to announce his commitment next spring, but he told SI.com that everything just felt right this week. The City Council Wednesday night unanimously approved allocating the the majority of the city's remaining federal COVID-19 relief funds for a pair of new parks. Marietta received roughly $11 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), and had already allocated portions of it for a new public safety training center, replacing a water tower, affordable housing, wellness initiatives for public safety employees, repairs to a fire station and the Cobb Veterans Memorial. The city has broad discretion over the use of the ARPA funds. Wednesday's vote puts $1 million of the remaining funds toward capping a 57-acre landfill on Merritt Road, behind Lockheed Elementary, to build a new city park. Another $2 million will be offered to Cobb County for 20 acres of park land at Anderson and Burnt Hickory roads, west of Kennesaw Mountain. In October, Marietta Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin recommended the city consider purchasing the land off Burnt Hickory Road from the county, which includes Schmidt Pond, a catch-and-release fishing site. Marietta would then turn the land into a city park. At the council's committee meetings on November 29, Tumlin again brought up the prospect that a future attempt to incorporate a city of Lost Mountain in west Cobb could mean Cobb would be forced to sell the Anderson Road land at a far cheaper price. Under state law, county parkland can be purchased by new cities at $100 per acre. The proposal for a city of Lost Mountain was rejected by voters in May, along with proposals for cities of East Cobb and Vinings. Tumlin said in November the county could be motivated to sell the land to Marietta “because cityhood might raise its beautiful head again.” Should the county reject Marietta's offer, the $2 million would return to the city's COVID relief fund. It may have been a cloudy day, but that didn't dampen the spirits at the 9th Annual Thanksgiving Classic hosted by the Marietta Country Club. After a Chick-fil-A breakfast, the golfers were cheered on with pompoms and great enthusiasm from the YELLS ( which stands for Youth Empowerment thru Learning, Leading and Serving) Inc. kids at the shotgun start. The day-long event saw a record number of 144 golfers participating. Each year the tournament committee selects a recipient from the Cobb County area. To be eligible, the non-profit must benefit and impact children's lives. This year the selected beneficiary was YELLS. Previous recipients include such worthy organizations as the Center for Children and Young Adults, Marietta Police Athletic League, KSU CARE, Marietta Student Life Center, Devereux Center, Wellstar Cancer Center and Hospice Angel Fund. Over the past, nine years the event raised over $850,000. The goal for next year is to surpass $1 million in donations. With the generosity of the players and sponsors, the Marietta Country Club was able to make a huge impact on YELLS Inc. with the presentation of a $150,000 check. YELLS empowers youth to rise as active, healthy and productive servant-leaders within their communities. YELLS is a 501(c)3 non-profit youth development organization based in the Franklin Gateway community of Marietta. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews - - - - - The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.

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.

Are you interested in the history of the Salem witch trials of 1692? Do you wonder if you have a genealogical connection to any people involved?
