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. 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.

Tune in for Arthur's opinions on Luca, Pixar's 24th film (but not before he momentarily digresses at the beginning to touch on his faulty Wi-Fi that had most likely been caused by the Pacific Northwest heat wave, followed by the matter of that garbage bag Bill Cosby being released from prison). Directed by Enrico Casarosa (the 2011 Oscar-nominated Pixar short La Luna) in his feature-length directorial debut, produced by Andrea Warren (Cars 3), and written by Jesse Andrews (the sole writer of Every Day) and Mike Jones (one of three writers of Soul), the movie follows a boy called Luca Paguro (Jacob Tremblay) as he and his new friend Alberto Scorfano (Jack Dylan Grazer) explore the Italian seaside town of Portorosso with hopes of getting a Vespa and seeing the big world out there, all while concealing their true identities as sea monsters.

It was a tumultuous week in politics; forget Joe Biden's dramatic victory over some guy whose name I can't recall and cast your vote for the Bad Dads Top 5 Memorable Movie Politicians. There's nothing rigged about this election as we veer from fascinating portrayals of real life political figures to ridiculous comic caricatures - see if you can spot which is which.This weeks movie review was the 2015 Sundance Film Festival darling Me & Earl & The Dying Girl. Jesse Andrews adapts his novel of the same name charting the journey of Greg Gaines, his co-worker Earl and Rachel, his former childhood friend who has been diagnosed with leukemia. This quirky indie coming of age movie features decent performances and the music of Brian Eno, so was sure to be a hit with the Dads wasn't it? We finish up this week with a review of the almost impossibly charming Netflix series Clarence. Just like the eponymous hero, cast aside any and all cynicism and enjoy this heartwarming and honest account of childhood experiences.Once again, thanks for listening and please do get in touch with us, annoying people on Twitter - @dads_film, on Facebook or even by carrier pigeon via baddadsjsy@gmail.com.Until next time, we remain...Bad Dads.
Join teen librarians Kathleen & Sam as they discuss Jesse Andrews's Munmun
Ugh.Brenna and Joe jump back into sick lit for Jesse Andrews' atrocious 2012 novel Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and its (better) 2015 Sundance award winning film adaptation by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, starring Thomas Mann, RJ Cyler, Olivia Cooke and a stunt cast of adults.We dedicate A LOT of time up front addressing our issues with the book, which is racist, misogynistic and features one of the most excruciating mediocre white boy protagonists since I Love You, Beth Cooper. We find it hilarious that Andrews believes he's subverting (or avoiding) YA tropes; instead he's simply produced an unreadable book. Our advice: do not read this "book"!The film - ironically adapted by Andrews - smooths out some of the books more egregious issues, but it comes at a cost. Earl is diminished to a non-character and Greg's selfish behaviour can't be redeemed. The actors and Gomez-Rejon's vibrant, experimental direction save this film.Wanna connect with the show?

Carrie and Jake read the new Harry Potter book/play, 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child', and they have thoughts! In this, our first (and possibly only) HOT TAKE SPECIAL, we let you know what they are. There's definitely a lot of spoilers, so you might want to read the book first! We also struggle with technology (unfortunately, the audio quality of a big chunk of this episode is not up to our usual standards), have some feels, talk about 'It's A Wonderful Life', and make a feminist point about how hot Donna Reed is. In the next episode, we'll be discussing Jesse Andrews's 2016 book 'The Haters'.
