Justin Roberts didn't set out to be a children's musician, but his tunes and inventive lyrics brought him success and national attention.
"Fighting Spirit: A Combat Chaplain's Journey," a powerful new documentary film co-produced by Paulist Productions, will be in select theaters around the United States on November 8, 2024. In this episode of Deacons Pod, the deacons speak about the film with Paulist Fr. Tom Gibbons, vice president of Paulist Productions and an executive producer of "Fighting Spirit." The film shares the stories of multiple U.S. military chaplains who died while serving. It is framed by the story of Justin Roberts, a former U.S. Army chaplain, as he attends the long-delayed funeral in 2021 of Servant of God Emil Kapaun, a priest and U.S. Army chaplain from Kansas, who died in 1953 as prisoner of war in North Korea. “Fighting Spirit” was co-produced by the U.S. Army Chaplains Corps. Actor Chris Pratt also is an executive producer on the project. ABOUT THE SHOW: Deacons Pod is a podcast for everyone. But, it's especially created to inspire and give hope to people on the “threshold of faith”: Those who are thinking about going to Church and those who are thinking about leaving Church. Deacons Pod is hosted by the Paulist Deacon affiliates. The podcast is a production of the Paulist Fathers. More at deaconspod.com
Gerald Dowd is the rare working musician who is actually making his living directly from his drumming gigs with an extremely wide range of musicians, from Eddie Vedder to Mavis Staples to Robbie Fulks to Neko Case to Justin Roberts, not to mention fantastic players that you may not have heard or be aware of. In addition, he's a songwriter of the first order playing a brand of country music that tips its cap just slightly without ever aping a certain artist or style. On his most recent solo release Fathers Day, his songs are straight from his soul and reflect exactly who he's become as a father and husband making his way in life, with narratives sometimes hilarious but also achingly poignent and heartfelt. After graduating from music school in Boston in the late 90's studying jazz and classical percussion, he found his way to Chicago and spent 20 years traveling the US and the world playing every small venue with various outfits, at which point he'd embedded himself within the Chicago scene and became the go-to hire for so many. Gerald is also a crazy man by staging fundraising events called the Day Of The Dowd in which he plays drums for 13 hours straight with 12 different bands to raise money for local food banks, pantries and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Great rap with the real deal.

Our SONG TO CHEW this week is PEACEFUL FEET, from my 'Grow It At Home' album. I wrote it as part of a challenge sent out from Rounder Kids Records asking some of the best artists in children's and family music to create a one-minute song for an album called "HEAR AND GONE IN 60 SECONDS" It included my friends Bill Harley, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer, Justin Roberts, Kim and Reggie Harris, Tom Paxton, Beethoven's Wig, Dan Crow, Dave Kinnoin, Parachute Express and Joanie Bartels, just to name a few! I wrote a song that was silly, but also had larger themes of world peace, and we'll talk about that process. Thanks for stopping by.

Today on the Mouthful of Graffiti podcast, I have the singer-songwriter, videographer and the CEO and founder of the Fundup app, Mr. Luke Justin Roberts. He's an artist with an entrepreneurial spirit and has attracted quite the following in the Baltimore area, with his pop rock fusion project LJR. I discovered Luke through a video he posted on Instagram and it opened my world to just what a driven and positive force Luke is trying to be; sometimes a rarity in this modern day travesty we call the pre-dystopian 21st century.

A new report show addiction and mental health issues are prevalent in Cobb County; Solicitor Barry Morgan reflects on his career; And Cobb Countians rang in 2023. A new report from Cobb's public health authority found in the aftermath of the pandemic, the county is facing rising rates of drug use and mental health struggles. The community health assessment, prepared every five years by Cobb & Douglas Public Health, is a sort of check-up on the state of the two counties' wellness. This year's is the first since before the pandemic, and the mammoth, 800-page document leaves no stone unturned. Dr. Janet Memark, CDPH's director, called the report a “snapshot into the health of our community” that gauges the major challenges facing the region, with mental health and addiction being two of the biggest. Among the most startling revelations is that suicide became the second leading cause of premature death (in numbers of years of life lost) in Cobb during the five-year period surveyed from 2016 to 2020, killing about 13 people per 100,000 residents each year. The number of “poor mental health days” reported by residents was relatively stable during that time, but began ticking up in 2020. Equally concerning, while hospital visits for mental health problems declined, overall deaths rose particularly in 2019 and 2020 to nearly 16 per 100,000. Between the stress of the pandemic, loss of jobs and family members, and isolation it brought on, “all of those things led to much higher levels of anxiety and depression, and just a variety of mental health and behavioral health issues,” said Lisa Crossman, CDPH's deputy director. Hand in hand with the mental health crisis is drug use, with drug-related deaths claiming 118 lives from 2016 to 2020. As with mental health struggles, while emergency room visits for overdoses declined during that period, deadly overdoses rose by more than 16%. Opioid deaths rose statewide by some 70% from 2010 to 2018, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health. Binge drinking in Cobb is also more prevalent than statewide or nationally, with 17.5% of adults reporting binge drinking in the last 30 days. The highest concentrations were in census tracts around Kennesaw and Vinings. Ask Cobb County's longest serving prosecutor about the mark he's left in his quarter-century in office, and he won't point to any headline-making cases. Sure, says retiring Cobb Solicitor Barry Morgan, he's had some interesting trials in his day, and some anecdotes from the courtroom to pass along. But on the eve of his last day in office Friday, Morgan told the MDJ he's most proud of the people who worked under his tutelage since he first took office in 1998. Morgan brandished an impressive list of some of the folks who've passed through his office in the past 25 years. It includes two Cobb Superior Court judges, nine Cobb State Court judges, two Cobb district attorneys, a bevy of municipal and magistrate judges in Cobb and elsewhere, hundreds of defense attorneys, and nearly half of the Cobb district attorney's stable of lawyers. As far as what's next, Morgan will still keep a busy schedule. He's returning to his roots, in a way, teaching music business classes at Auburn and Troy universities, while serving as a part-time Cobb magistrate judge, just as he did nearly 40 years ago. He also starts this week as a hearing officer for disciplinary proceedings in the Cobb County School District. Libraries are typically quiet places. But on New Year's Eve at Mountain View Library in east Cobb, families danced to loud music in the children's section. Later, the crowd counted down in unison as the clock struck 12 o'clock — in the afternoon. The celebration, called “Noon Year's Eve,” gathered around 150 people to celebrate, library staff said. In addition to a live DJ and dancing, children could set reading resolutions for 2023 and create a variety of crafts including party hats, noisemakers and masquerade masks. The library also gave out take-home time capsule kits, which suggested the kids consider including family photos, menus from their favorite restaurants and perhaps even a toy they could stand to live without, according to Merideth Zobell, a youth services librarian at Mountain View who organized the event. Those looking to get a head start on their reading resolutions for 2023 can join Cobb County libraries for a challenge to read 600 minutes during the month of January. Information is on the library system's website at cobbcat.org. The Battery Atlanta was packed with people on the last day of 2022. The celebrations outside the home of the Atlanta Braves featured two separate countdowns to the new year, one at midnight and an earlier one at 8 p.m. for children and families. The “Early Innings” New Year's bash featured multiple performances by the Braves' dance team, their drum lin, and Justin Roberts, a Grammy-nominated singer of children's music. As the rest of the Battery's restaurants and bars began to fill with late-night partiers getting an early start, families danced the early hours of the night away to the live music and the tunes put on by a DJ between performances. At the end of the countdown to 8 o'clock, giant inflatable baseballs were dropped onto the cheering crowd. Many children left with a baseball or two. The later New Year's Eve celebration had planned performances by 12 South Band and was set to end with fireworks. Hillgrove used a big second quarter to pull away and defeat host Pope 60-43 in the girls championship game of the Hounds Holiday Hoops Classic on Friday. The Hawks led from start to finish as they outscored the Greyhounds 20-9 in the second quarter to break open a close game. They were never threatened after that on their way to the tournament title. Aryelle King and Amaya Harris scored 11 points each, while Kara Boggs added 10 points to lead Hillgrove. Caroline Heintzelman led Pope with 19 points. Hillgrove held a narrow advantage throughout the first quarter and finished the period with an 11-7 lead. Leading 13-11 with 5:54 remaining in the first half, Hillgrove went on a 12-1 run to increase its lead to 25-12 with 2:37 left, and the Hawks went on to finish the first half with a 31-16 advantage. King and Harris scored 14 of Hillgrove's 20 points in the second quarter, with each player scoring seven points. Hillgrove went on to maintain a double-digit advantage throughout the second half, leading by as much as 21 points -- 56-35 -- midway through the fourth quarter. Boggs scored eight of her 10 points in the third quarter, while Kierra Jackson pitched in seven of the Hawks' 13 points in the final period. Pope was only able to get within 10 points on a couple of occasions in the third quarter, trailing 33-23 and 41-31. Attorneys for Cobb County have filed a motion to have a seat at the table next week in a planned hearing on the lawsuit challenging the county's “home rule” district map. The hearing, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon before Superior Court Judge Ann Harris, will be the first proceeding in a court challenge to the map filed by east Cobb activist Larry Savage. The lawsuit asks the court to toss out a district map which was adopted by the Board of Commissioners' Democrats in October as an effort to keep Commissioner Jerica Richardson in office. Richardson was drawn out of her seat by a Republican-sponsored district map earlier this year, which was signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp. Both maps are set to take effect January 1. In its effort, the county invoked the constitutional principle of home rule to assert its right to draw its own district boundaries. Savage's lawsuit calls the move “illegal.” Savage's lawsuit names the Cobb Board of Elections as its defendant, because that's the body tasked with administering elections under the map. But in a filing this week, Elizabeth Monyak, an attorney for the county, argues the county should be allowed to intervene (Savage's attorney said he has consented to that request). Judge Harris will hear arguments at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Cobb Superior Courthouse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock narrowly defeated Republican Herschel Walker Tuesday in a closely fought race for Georgia's U.S. Senate seat, giving Democrats a slim two-seat majority in the upper house in Washington. Warnock was leading Walker 51.1% to 48.8% as of 11:50 p.m. Tuesday night, with 98% of precincts reporting. The Warnock victory in the final contest of the 2022 election cycle gave Democrats 51 seats in the Senate to 49 for Republicans. As of midnight, Warnock had won 59% of the vote in Cobb County, according to unofficial results, with Republican challenger Herschel Walker receiving 41%. Though Warnock won around 38,000 more votes than Walker in the November general election, neither candidate earned more than 50% of the vote required by Georgia law to prevent a runoff, pushing the nationally watched race to a December rematch. The lengthy campaign that finally concluded Tuesday night was the most expensive race of the 2022 cycle, with outside groups and the candidates' campaigns spending more than $401 million in the race, according to campaign-finance tracking group OpenSecrets For a few seconds, the Allatoona flag football team thought it was on its way to the Class 7A state championship game at Center Parc Stadium. If not for a few extra steps, the Buccaneers would have been. With Monday's state semifinal tied 13-all with 5 seconds left to play, Allatoona quarterback Maci Strickland scrambled left, pulled up and threw deep down the middle. Receiver Aoife Flynn came down with the ball between two defenders and sprinted away for what looked to be the game-winning 65-yard touchdown. However, the celebration was short-lived as Strickland was called for being past the line of scrimmage when she let the pass go. The penalty sent the game to overtime, where the potential celebration turned to disappointment. In the second overtime, Milton found a way to finally get past Allatoona 19-13 at IBM Performance Field inside the Atlanta Falcons' training facility. Milton will face Blessed Trinity, which beat Marietta in the other semifinal, for the state championship Thursday at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta. For much of the season, Marietta's flag football team would often start slowly, rely on its defense and then pull away from opponents in the second half. It was a trend that concerned coach Nick Houstoulakis as the Blue Devils got deeper in the playoffs, and on Monday, his concerns were justified. Blessed Trinity scored two first-half touchdowns and added a third in the final minutes of the game to post a 19-0 victory over Marietta in the semifinals of the Class 7A state playoffs, also at the Falcons' IBM Performance Field. Marietta was stopped one game short of reaching back-to-back state championship games. For Blessed Trinity, it was a game of payback for the 26-0 loss the Blue Devils handed them in the same round a year ago. The City Council voted 4-2 to allocate an additional $500,000 for the building of a downtown park slated to open in spring 2023. Village Green Park will be located just south of the StillFire Brewing brewery being built in downtown Smyrna. The brewery and adjacent park are sandwiched between Atlanta Road and the Smyrna Community Center. In January, the council agreed to sell an acre of city-owned land to StillFire, which will build a two-story, 15,000-square-foot brewery there. The proceeds from that sale — $600,000 — were to fund Village Green Park. In April, the council allocated an additional $400,000 for the park from the city's federal COVID-19 relief funds, bringing the total cost to $1 million. The latest funding allocation was sourced from the city's general fund. With Monday night's vote, the cost for the park is now $1.5 million, an increase Mayor Derek Norton told the MDJ was necessary to overcome issues with grading on the property and to match finishes in other parks the city is upgrading. Council members Charles “Corkey” Welch and Susan Wilkinson voted against the measure. The two members also voted against the deal that saw the city sell land to StillFire Brewing, as well as the first set of additional funding for the park project. Welch's reason for opposing the newest infusion of funds held steady from his previous vote in April against additional funding, which is his belief the current park serves the community more as is than a brewery would. The Battery Atlanta invites guests to welcome 2023 in style at its annual New Year's Eve Bash, presented by Xfinity, on December 31. The free annual festivities will be held in two parts, starting with Early Innings for families, followed by Late Innings for adult revelers. The Early Inning festivities will begin at 6 p.m. with a traditional late-night show for families celebrating with children. Kids will be able to join in on the countdown before bedtime with an inflatable baseball drop at 8 p.m. and live performance from GRAMMY nominee Justin Roberts. Adults looking to ring in the New Year later in the night can enjoy Late Innings beginning at 9 p.m. with a performance from The 12 South Band at the Georgia Power Pavilion Stage.

Ambakisye Mizell, charged with the murder of Demetrius Dow, was booked into the Cobb County jail Sunday, where he is being held without bond, according to booking records. At around 4 a.m. on August 28, Cobb police responded to a call at the District at Vinings apartment complex at 2800 Paces Ferry Road reporting that someone had been shot, police said at the time. First responders treated the 40-year-old Dow for gunshot wounds, but he died at the scene. A warrant for Mizell's arrest was issued November 9. In the warrant, police allege Mizell shot Dow multiple times in the legs while robbing him. Mizell is from Albany, Georgia, according to booking records, and was transferred to Cobb from the Crisp County jail. The Cobb County Board of Education is set to review five district rule modifications at its work session Thursday afternoon. Two changes are to existing rules, concerning staff access to the district's new emergency system badges and employee transfers within the district. Three new policies deal with animals in schools, counseling programs and the Parents' Bill of Rights. The codification of the Parents' Bill of Rights in the district's administrative rules comes after Governor. Brian Kemp signed into law the bill known by the same name in April. Board Member Randy Scamihorn told the MDJ that the district is already in compliance with the state law, and will formalize it with the new policy. The rule allows parents to access their child's education records and learn more about instructional materials. It also gives parents the right to object to content “which the parent/legal guardian feels is divisive or harmful to minors” based on the district's Divisive Concepts Complaint Resolution Process, part of rules the district passed in June to fall in line with another law on divisive concepts signed by Kemp. The new rule also allows parents the right to withdraw their children from sex education courses and prohibit the district from taking photographs and making video or voice recordings of their children, so long as parents provide written notices. Revisions to the rule governing employee transfer could cause the most stir, according to Cobb County Association of Educators President Jeff Hubbard, who said the changes could make it harder for teachers to move around within the district. Hubbard noted that employees will now be required to be at their present location of employment for a two-year minimum at the time of a transfer. Other sections of the rule address “emotional support/comfort animals,” which “are not trained to perform a disability-specific task and are not Service Animals as defined by law or this rule,” and “classroom pets,” which the district says may be fish, parrots, reptiles, amphibians, hamsters and guinea pigs. The Cobb school board will meet for its work session Thursday at 2:30 p.m. at 514 Glover St. in Marietta, and its voting meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at the same location.
