MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 3rd Publish Date:  October 3rd Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.  Today is Friday, October 3rd and Happy Birthday to Stevie Ray Vaughn I’m Jessica Forkel and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Atlanta United, local officials cut ribbon on $25 million training facility expansion Toastique brings gourmet toast and juices to east Cobb Brian Snitker out as Braves' manager, will transition into advisory role Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on cereals 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: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 1: Atlanta United, local officials cut ribbon on $25 million training facility expansion This week, Atlanta United pulled back the curtain on a $25 million expansion to their Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground in Marietta, and let’s just say—it’s next level. The facility, now a sprawling 50,000 square feet, is the latest investment from owner Arthur Blank, bringing the total spend on the space to over $90 million. What’s new? A second gym for Atlanta United 2 and Academy players, a cutting-edge Emory Healthcare Studio (complete with podcast and video production spaces), and more than 100 workspaces for staff. Marietta Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin called the ribbon-cutting a celebration of progress. The timing couldn’t be better, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup just around the corner. Atlanta United expects to host an international team at the facility during the tournament, and Tumlin is confident it’ll be the top pick. And they’re not done yet. Phase two is already in the works, with plans for hydrotherapy rooms, hyperbaric chambers, and expanded recovery spaces. The goal? To have it all ready before the World Cup kicks off. STORY 2: Toastique brings gourmet toast and juices to east Cobb Toastique has officially landed at the corner of Roswell and Johnson Ferry roads, bringing a fresh twist to the neighborhood’s food scene. Think gourmet toast, smoothies, and juices—but make it Instagram-worthy. Founded by former Division 1 cheerleader Brianna Keefe, Toastique started in D.C. back in 2018 and has since grown into a national sensation. Here in East Cobb, Rex and Leslie Sheridan are running the show. The menu? Packed with healthy, colorful options. Fan favorites include the Smoked Salmon toast (loaded with salmon, herbed cream cheese, and all the fixings), the Açai Smoothie Bowl, and the Avocado Smash. Rex, a pescatarian, swears by the Tomato Burrata toast—“It’s my go-to,” he says. The vibe inside matches the food: light, airy, and full of plants. There’s even a to-go fridge stocked with pressed juices and chia puddings, all made in-house. For Rex, this isn’t just a business—it’s personal. After years of health struggles, he discovered that better eating was the key to feeling better. Toastique is open daily, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 4250 Roswell Road. Stop by, snap a pic, and taste what all the buzz is about. STORY 3: Brian Snitker out as Braves' manager, will transition into advisory role  After months of whispers and speculation, Brian Snitker finally made it official: he’s stepping down as Atlanta Braves manager after the 2025 season. But don’t worry—he’s not going far. Starting in 2026, Snitker will take on an advisory role with the team, marking his 50th year with the Braves organization. At a press conference at Truist Park, the Braves announced Snitker’s transition and revealed he’ll be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame next year. The event was full of praise, gifts, and a lot of emotion. Snitker’s journey with the Braves is the stuff of baseball legend. Signed as a catcher in 1977, his playing career didn’t pan out, but Hank Aaron saw something in him and offered him a coaching job. From there, Snitker worked his way up, managing at nearly every level of the minors before taking over the big-league club in 2016. When he stepped in, the Braves were at rock bottom—the worst record in baseball. But under Snitker, they turned it around fast. Seven playoff appearances, six division titles, and a magical 2021 World Series win later, he’s cemented his legacy. Now, he’s looking forward to spending time with his family—his wife, Ronnie, their kids, and three grandkids. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Break: TRUCK A PALOOZA STORY 4: Cobb County feels early impacts of federal government shutdown Cobb County is already feeling the ripple effects of the government shutdown, which kicked off at midnight when Congress failed to pass a budget. No funding, no updates—just ask Dobbins Air Reserve Base, whose website now greets visitors with a blunt message: “Due to the government shutdown, this website is not being updated.” Calls to their public affairs team? Crickets. National parks like Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park are technically “closed,” but outdoor areas remain open. Bathrooms, though? Not so much. Visitors are being told to bring their own toilet paper—yes, really—and pack out their trash. Meanwhile, protesters from Indivisible Cobb gathered at Kennesaw Mountain, as they do every Wednesday, to advocate for park staff and future generations. Organizer Gail Von Gonten voiced concerns about unpaid workers and stalled maintenance. Statewide, the shutdown could impact over 110,000 federal workers in Georgia. While furloughed employees may qualify for unemployment benefits, they’ll have to repay those funds once back pay kicks in. It’s a mess, and for now, there’s no clear end in sight. STORY 5: Cherokee Heights Art Festival is Oct. 18 Mark your calendars—on Oct. 18, the 17th Annual Cherokee Heights Arts Festival is taking over Freyer Drive NE (between Etowah and Chicasaw Drives) in Marietta from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission? Free. Parking? Also free. This charming neighborhood, a 1924 National Historic Register gem just a mile from Marietta Square, started as a small, invite-only art show among neighbors. In 2009, they decided to take it outside—and open it to everyone. Now, it’s a one-day celebration featuring over 40 local artists and makers. Expect everything from paintings and pottery to jewelry, baked goods, and even original books. Two music “stages” will keep the vibe lively with free performances all day, and kids can get crafty at an art station hosted by the Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art. Feeling hungry? Food and drinks will be available, and local nonprofits like CASA and MUST Ministries will also be there. For a sneak peek, check out the Cherokee Heights Arts Festival on Facebook or Instagram. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on cereals We’ll have closing comments after this.

In this episode of The Passing Judgment Podcast, host Jessica Levinson unpacks President Trump's decision to deploy federal troops—including the National Guard and Marines—to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Jessica explains the current California v. Trump trial, which centers on whether the administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act—a law barring the military from acting as domestic law enforcement unless certain exceptions apply. She discusses the difference between supporting federal agencies and directly enforcing laws, and outlines legal exceptions like the Insurrection Act. Jessica also details the president's authority over the D.C. National Guard and the special rules for taking over the District's police under the Home Rule Act.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:The Posse Comitatus Act at Center Stage: The ongoing bench trial (California v. Trump) challenges whether deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles crossed the legal line into direct law enforcement, potentially violating the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act.Presidential Authority—A Legal Balancing Act: While the president (any president!) can federalize the National Guard, there are boundaries—like the Insurrection Act—that determine what those troops can actually do once deployed. This nuance will shape legal precedents nationwide.D.C. vs. State Jurisdictions: The president has much more direct control over deploying and directing the National Guard in D.C., versus states like California. Taking control of local police, however, requires navigating additional legal steps under the Home Rule Act.Mentioned In The Episode: National Guard in Los Angeles: Decoding the Law Behind the StandoffThe Legal Battle Over Federalizing California's National Guard: What You Need to KnowFollow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

In a podcast episode, the host discusses how Burlington, located in Southern Ontario, was once considered resilient to climate change impacts. However, in recent years, vulnerabilities within the community's resiliency have been exposed. The host highlights how extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and flooding, have started to affect Burlington. While the city had not previously experienced significant damage from climate change-related events, recent occurrences like Hurricane Beryl and subsequent heavy rainfall have led to flooding, property damage, and disruptions within the community. The episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing these vulnerabilities to enhance community resiliency in the face of climate change. It discusses the need for proactive planning, infrastructure improvements, and community engagement to mitigate the impacts of climate change on Burlington and similar areas. The experiences shared in the podcast underscore the reality that no community is immune to the effects of climate change. Even in well-developed regions like Burlington, the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events are posing challenges that require immediate attention and action. By acknowledging and responding to these challenges, communities can work towards building greater resilience and adapting to the changing climate conditions. Vulnerabilities in Community Resiliency Exposed by Extreme Weather Events The podcast episode highlights how vulnerabilities in community resiliency are being exposed by extreme weather events, specifically heavy rain and flooding. The host discusses how their community in Burlington, Ontario, had previously been considered resilient to climate change consequences due to the lack of major storms, droughts, or forest fires. However, in recent years, they have experienced significant vulnerabilities in their community's resiliency. The episode describes a recent event where Hurricane Beryl brought heavy rain to the region, causing flooding and exposing weaknesses in the infrastructure. The sudden and intense rainfall led to water accumulation in neighborhoods, resulting in flooded basements and homes. The host mentions instances where fridges were floating in basements, and water levels reached above fence lines, forcing some residents to evacuate. Furthermore, the episode emphasizes the impact of these extreme weather events on individuals, with anecdotal stories of insurance companies not covering damages due to categorizing them as "acts of God" or natural disasters. This lack of coverage adds financial strain to those affected, highlighting the need for improved community resiliency measures. The host also raises concerns about the city's preparedness for future climate change-related events, noting the importance of adapting infrastructure and planning for more frequent and severe storms. The discussion extends to the need for collaboration between community members, local officials, engineers, and organizations to address vulnerabilities and enhance resiliency. Overall, the episode underscores the urgent need to address vulnerabilities in community resiliency exposed by extreme weather events like heavy rain and flooding. It serves as a reminder that even developed countries are not immune to the impacts of climate change and emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to build resilience in the face of changing weather patterns. Building resilience against climate change impacts requires active engagement from community members. In the podcast episode, the host highlighted the importance of seeking answers, getting educated, and engaging with local officials and organizations. Here are some key points to consider: Seeking Answers: Community members should proactively seek information about climate change impacts in their area. This includes understanding the vulnerabilities of their community, such as susceptibility to flooding, extreme weather events, or other consequences of climate change. By asking questions and seeking answers, individuals can better prepare themselves and their community for potential challenges. Getting Educated: Education plays a crucial role in building resilience. By educating themselves about climate change, its impacts, and potential solutions, community members can make informed decisions and take appropriate actions. This knowledge empowers individuals to advocate for sustainable practices, support resilience-building initiatives, and contribute to community preparedness efforts. Engaging with Local Officials and Organizations: Collaboration with local officials, government agencies, and environmental organizations is essential for effective climate change resilience. Community members can engage with these stakeholders to voice their concerns, provide input on resilience strategies, and participate in decision-making processes. By actively participating in local initiatives, individuals can influence policies, advocate for sustainable development practices, and contribute to building a more resilient community. Overall, community engagement is key to enhancing resilience against climate change impacts. By seeking answers, getting educated, and actively engaging with local stakeholders, individuals can play a significant role in preparing their communities for the challenges posed by a changing climate.

Last week, Pritzker's office hailed the creation of the pair of new shelters paid for by the Illinois taxpayers and made possible by deals with the “nonprofit sector.” “I'm thankful to our partners and the contributions across City, State, County, and nonprofit sectors. These additional shelters provide meaningful support to families seeking stability as they take their next steps toward independence,” Dulce Quintero, Illinois Department of Human Services Secretary Designate, said in a press release. “In Illinois, we're implementing our comprehensive data-driven plan to improve our response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis and amplify the effectiveness of State, County, and City investments,” the governor added. But state Rep. Angelica Guerrero-Cuellar and state Sen. Mike Porfirio, both Democrats, were surprised by the announcement and said they were unaware that any new shelter was being opened in their jurisdiction until the announcement was made.
