GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 9th Publish Date: October 9th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 9th and Happy birthday to John Lennon I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Lilburn Daze festival celebrates 53 years of community and creativity Gwinnett spending nearly $1 million for three new ambulances O’Dwyer Homes Breaks Ground on 'Build for CURE' home in Lawrenceville Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 1: Lilburn Daze festival celebrates 53 years of community and creativity Lilburn Daze—man, it’s come a long way. Picture this: back in the '70s, it was just a scrappy little thing in a shopping center parking lot. Now? It’s the fall festival in Gwinnett County. This Saturday, from 9 to 5, City Park on Main Street will be buzzing. Arts and crafts, food trucks, kids bouncing around (literally), live music, and even a health tent. Oh, and the Doggy Dazzle Paw-rade at 11 a.m.? Adorable chaos. Susan Allred, festival chair, says they’re expecting 5,000–10,000 folks. “It’s our biggest fundraiser,” she adds. Proceeds? They fuel community programs. So, grab a shuttle, bring your dog, and soak it all in. STORY 2: Gwinnett spending nearly $1 million for three new ambulances Gwinnett’s getting three shiny new ambulances—finally. On Tuesday, county commissioners approved a $932,383 deal with Life Line Emergency Vehicles, and if all goes to plan, they’ll arrive in December. One ambulance will roll in on a RAM 5500 chassis, while the other two will use Chevy 5500 chassis the county bought during the pandemic. (Remember those supply chain nightmares?) Turns out, they’ve just been sitting there, unused. Funded by the 2017 SPLOST, these ambulances are all-new, top to bottom. STORY 3: O’Dwyer Homes Breaks Ground on 'Build for CURE' home in Lawrenceville O’Dwyer Homes just broke ground on something truly special—a “Build for CURE” home, where every penny from the sale will go to CURE Childhood Cancer. The ceremony happened Sept. 17 at 1108 Duluth Highway in Lawrenceville, and honestly, it’s more than just a house. It’s hope. “This is personal,” says Kathy O’Dwyer. Years ago, she watched Sean Dever, her son’s best friend’s little brother, fight osteosarcoma. And Brandon, the builder? His son John battled leukemia at nine. Both families leaned on CURE during their darkest days. Now, John’s thriving, Sean’s thriving—and this home? It’s for the next family who needs a lifeline. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: Making waves: North Georgia students dive into water industry at leadership summit On a crisp September morning, over 160 high schoolers from across North Georgia showed up at The Water Tower in Buford, probably not expecting to leave thinking, Huh, maybe water’s my thing. But that’s exactly what happened. The Student Water Innovation and Leadership Summit (Sept. 26) wasn’t your typical career day. Students from schools like Mill Creek, Shiloh, and Discovery got hands-on—peering into microscopes, testing filtration systems, even diving into virtual reality. They learned water isn’t just faucets and pipes; it’s labs, engineering, crisis management, and, yes, running treatment plants. With a looming workforce gap (a third retiring soon!), programs like this are game-changers. STORY 5: Gwinnett installing sidewalks near Dyer Elementary Kids walking to Dyer Elementary in Dacula? It’s about to get a whole lot safer—and easier. Gwinnett County just approved a $1.3 million contract with Ohmshiv Construction to build new sidewalks near the school. The plan? Sidewalks will stretch along Hurricane Shoals Road (north side) from the school to Retreat Drive, and on Rabbit Hill Circle (west side) from Hurricane Shoals to Hood Road. The project, funded by the 2023 SPLOST, kicks off soon and should wrap up in 100 working days. Finally, some peace of mind for parents. We’ll be right back.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 27th Publish Date: September 27th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, September 27th and Happy Birthday to Meatloaf I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. It's Back — Magical Nights of Lights returns to Lanier Islands Magazine still rates Georgia No. 1 for business Three of Georgia’s top higher education institutions retain high rankings All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: It's Back — Magical Nights of Lights returns to Lanier Islands After a five-year break, one of Georgia’s most cherished holiday traditions is finally back. Lanier Islands Resort announced Thursday that Magical Nights of Lights will return for the 2025 holiday season, promising a reimagined experience that’s bigger, brighter, and, well, just plain magical. From Nov. 15 to Jan. 4, 2026, the lakeside resort will transform into a glowing wonderland. Picture this: miles of twinkling lights, animated displays, and Christmas carols playing through your car radio. Classic favorites like Candy Cane Lane and the 12 Days of Christmas are back, but there’s new fun too—Pickleball Elves, anyone? The tour ends with two festive stops: Holiday Headquarters (think mulled wine, s’mores, and axe throwing) and License to Chill Snow Island, complete with snow tubing and ice skating. Tickets start at $25 per car, and overnight guests get a free light tour. STORY 2: Magazine still rates Georgia No. 1 for business For the 12th year running, Georgia has snagged the top spot on Area Development Magazine’s list of best states for doing business. A dozen years—pretty impressive, right? The magazine pointed to affordable housing, reliable child care, and solid transportation as key reasons for the streak. Southern states dominated the rankings, with Georgia leading the pack, followed by South Carolina, Texas, and North Carolina. Gov. Brian Kemp credited the win to teamwork between state leaders and local communities, while the Georgia Chamber of Commerce called the state the “economic envy of the nation.” But the game is changing. Tax breaks and cheap land aren’t enough anymore. Companies are eyeing climate risks, water access, and long-term resilience. Georgia, the magazine noted, is already ahead in those areas. It’s not just about business—it’s about building a place where people want to live, work, and stay. STORY 3: Three of Georgia’s top higher education institutions retain high rankings Georgia’s top universities are holding their own in the 2026 U.S. News rankings, with all three—Georgia Tech, UGA, and Emory—landing in the top 100. Tech climbed to 32nd, tied with NYU and two California public schools. UGA stayed steady at 46th, sharing the spot with four others. Emory? Sitting pretty at 24th, right alongside Georgetown. The rankings factor in everything from graduation rates to faculty pay to post-grad earnings. And in specific fields? Georgia schools shine. Emory’s nursing program is second only to Duke. Tech’s environmental and industrial programs are No. 1, and UGA’s insurance program? Best in the nation. For in-state students, Tech and UGA are a steal at just over $10,000 a year. Out-of-state? Triple that. Emory, though, comes with a hefty $70,000 price tag. Worth it? Depends who you ask. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Police: Woman stabbed to death at home near Stone Mountain Gwinnett County police are investigating after a woman was fatally stabbed Thursday in what appears to be a domestic violence case. Officers responded to a call around 4:30 p.m. about a person down at a home on Deshong Drive, near the Gwinnett-DeKalb County line. Inside, they found a woman who had died from stab wounds. A female relative was detained elsewhere in Gwinnett, and detectives are questioning her. The victim’s name hasn’t been released yet, pending notification of her family. Anyone with information can contact detectives or Crime Stoppers for a possible cash reward. STORY 5: Housing Matters: Conversion of extended-stay hotel to affordable housing to begin soon A vacant Extended Stay America off Jimmy Carter Boulevard is getting a second life. Starting in December, it’ll be transformed into affordable housing for seniors, homeless youth, and young adults aging out of foster care. Gwinnett County and the Gwinnett Housing Corporation bought the property in February for $14.5 million, using funds from the Affordable Housing Development Fund and the American Rescue Plan. Units will be for single or double occupancy, with rents about $500 below market. Leasing starts in 2026. Break 3: STORY 6: Duluth Fall Festival returns this weekend The 42nd Duluth Fall Festival is back this weekend, and it’s pulling out all the stops—over 180 arts and crafts vendors, 40+ food booths, and nearly two dozen performers spread across two stages. It’s a lot. Festivities kick off Saturday at 10 a.m. with the parade, which some say is the biggest in Gwinnett. After that? The opening ceremony at the Festival Center Amphitheater, followed by nonstop entertainment on the Festival Center and Parsons Alley stages. Sunday starts early with the Donut Dash 5K at 8 a.m. and a church service at 10 a.m. Parking? It’s tight. Use the free shuttles from local schools. And leave the pets at home—it’s hot, crowded, and not ideal for furry friends. Proceeds go straight back into the community, funding everything from downtown beautification to nonprofits like Rainbow Village and Spectrum Autism Center. Details at duluthfallfestival.org. STORY 7: FAFSA application now open for current and future GGC students For Georgia Gwinnett College students, the road to scholarships, grants, and financial aid starts now—FAFSA for the 2026–2027 school year is officially open. FAFSA isn’t just a form; it’s the key to federal grants, work-study gigs, and loans. Plus, state and school aid programs use it to figure out who qualifies for what. The earlier you file, the better your chances of snagging the most aid. Need help? The Grizzly Welcome Center (Building D) is open weekdays to guide students through the process. Pro tip: File ASAP. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Ingles Markets 5 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Kate Flannery and Oscar Nuñez had a mini "Office" reunion on last night's season finale of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and went ALL THE WAY! (You'd know them as Meredith and Oscar on the show.) They even called up Brian Baumgartner (Kevin) for their "Phone-a-Friend" lifeline. As for the million-dollar question? "The word 'planet' comes from an ancient Greek word that literally means what?" Their options were "powerful," "immortal," "stranger," and "wanderer" . . . the answer being "wanderer". Kate and Oscar will be splitting their winnings between Planned Parenthood and a Philadelphia-based food bank called Philabundance. Fresh off Coachella comes Stagecoach! The country music festival returns April 24–26, 2026, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Headliners include Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, and Post Malone—but it's not just country. Pitbull, Ludacris, Teddy Swims, Bush, Journey, Hootie & The Blowfish, Little Big Town, and dozens more are on the bill. BigXthaPlug and Counting Crows join the revived Mustang Stage, while Guy Fieri and Diplo return as festival staples. Passes go on sale October 2 at StagecoachFestival.com.Ozzy & Judas Priest Drop ‘War Pigs' Charity SingleFans finally get to hear Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Halford together. Judas Priest and Ozzy's family released a new version of “War Pigs” after missing Black Sabbath's farewell show. Halford called it a career highlight: “It's the first duet I've ever done with Ozzy, and I'm eternally grateful.” Proceeds go to the Glenn Tipton Parkinson's Foundation and Cure Parkinson's, honoring both Tipton's and Ozzy's battles with the disease.Taylor Swift Heading to FallonTaylor Swift is taking The Life of a Showgirl to late night. She'll appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on October 6, just three days after her album release and one day after fiancé Travis Kelce's birthday. Fallon teased the appearance in a cryptic roulette-themed post landing on Swift's lucky number, 13. This marks Taylor's seventh Tonight Show stop, alongside guests Keri Russell and a performance from The Format.Queen Eyeing Vegas Sphere ResidencyBrian May says Queen is seriously considering a Las Vegas Sphere residency after seeing the Eagles perform there. He told Rolling Stone, “The kind of show we could put on would be absolutely stupendous.” While May admits he's weary of traditional touring after 50 years, the Sphere could give the band a spectacular new stage without the grind of life on the road. Katie Couric pokes fun at Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad in a new PSA for colon cancer screenings. The clip opens to a close-up of Katie wearing a jean jacket, and quickly pans out to show she's wearing a hospital gown underneath, and she's on a gurney getting ready for a colonoscopy. She tells the camera, quote, "Speaking of genes. Did you know that the majority of people who develop colon cancer are not genetically predisposed to the disease? That's why doctors recommend everyone 45 and older get checked." Katie told "People" magazine, quote, "That ad showed how pop culture and a pair of jeans could really shape the cultural conversation, it was everywhere. It was a moment in time, and we thought, 'Why don't we ride that horse a little bit longer and have some fun with it?'" It'sbeen 25 years since Katie became the first person in history to broadcast a colonoscopy on national TV. She lost her husband to colon cancer in 1998. He was only 42. One of the most famous homes in American history is opening its doors to the public for the first time ever. The "Brady Bunch" house in North Hollywood will be accessible to fans on November 7th, 8th, and 9th. And while bookings are sold out, you can register to be on a waitlist, or be notified if additional dates become available. When the show was in production back in the day, the house was only used for EXTERIOR shots. The inside of the Brady home was created on a soundstage, and the inside of the actual house looked nothing like it. But HGTV bought the house in 2018, and renovated it so that it DOES match the house from the show. And of course, they recorded it for a series called "A Very Brady Renovation". Alyssa Milano, now 52, announced on Instagram that she underwent surgery to remove her breast implants—calling it a step toward reclaiming her body. She wrote that she's letting go of “false narratives” and a body she felt was “sexualized” and “abused.” Page Six+2People.com+2Milano said she once believed implants were essential to being attractive, loved, or successful—but now emphasizes that her worth doesn't depend on them. People.com+2The Cut+2 She also expressed hope that her 11-year-old daughter will be spared similar pressure. Page Six+1She made clear this was her personal decision and not a judgment on others who choose differently. People.com+2The Cut+2 After the procedure, she posted she's resting comfortably and thanked fans for their support. Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, has been spotted on a dinner date with 27-year-old OnlyFans creator Hannah Palmer, just months after finalizing his $75 million divorce from Isla Fisher. Page SixThe pair were seen leaving the restaurant separately before getting into the same Cadillac Escalade. Page Six+1Sources say they first met at Taika Waititi's 50th birthday party in Ibiza, with Rita Ora reportedly introducing them. Although the age gap raised eyebrows, insiders say they “seemed to be getting on really well.” Page Six+1Cohen and Fisher married in 2010, share three children, and announced their split in 2024 before finalizing the divorce this past June. Action legend Chuck Norris, now 85, marked his birthday by hiking Lassen Peak in Northern California—a strenuous trail rising to 10,457 feet. The round-trip journey spans about 5 miles and climbs 2,000 feet, often taking 4 to 5 hours to complete. Outside OnlineOn Instagram, Norris reflected on the trail's long recovery since the 2021 Dixie Fire, saying while the damage is heartbreaking, “the park's beauty still shines through.” Outside Online+2Active NorCal+2 He also credited his wife for introducing him to the region's natural splendor. It's official: HBO Max wants to traumatize your children. What other reason could there be for them to produce a brand new, animated version of "Charlotte's Web", one of the greatest children's stories ever told . . . until it becomes the most heart-wrenchingly brutal story in the history of mankind? This one is a limited series, told in three parts, which will all be released on Thursday, October 2nd. It stars Amy Adams as Charlotte, Elijah Wood as Wilbur the pig, and Jean Smart as the narrator. The voice cast also includes Cynthia Erivo, Randall Park, and Rosario Dawson. HBO Max released a clip yesterday of a scene between Charlotte and the young version of Wilbur, voiced by Griffin Robert Faulkner. Comedy legend Bill Burr is in talks to join production of The Social Network Part II, a follow-up to the 2010 Mark Zuckerberg biopic. William Shatner is reassuring everyone on social media that he is doing well after he was rushed to the hospital for a medical emergency Wednesday.

I SEE A FAMOUS BABY IN THE FUTURE – THE STAGE NAME DICAPRIO ALMOST HAD – Shatner in the hospital – AND A GREAT LIST OF ONE HIT WONDERS Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their third baby . . . and FIRST girl. It's hard to imagine Leonardo DiCaprio with a different name. But it almost happened. A lot of celebrities were born with "ethnic"-sounding names, but changed them as they pursued fame . . . either because they were told to, or they themselves thought it would help. We discussed more celeb name changes. We haven't had a good supergroup in a while. But that's about to change, thanks to Howl Owl Howl. Vince Neil Reveals Multiple StrokesMötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil has opened up about his recent health scare.

In The Paper Bag Plan, the new film from writer/director Anthony Lucero, a father named Oscar (Lance Kinsey) who discovers he has cancer, decides to teach his disabled son Billy (Cole Massie) to become a grocery bagger in the hopes of landing his first job and beginning a life of independence. This is a deeply personal story, inspired by Anthony's experience growing up with a disabled brother who required full-time care from their mother. This film is notable for the authenticity of its depiction of disability, providing a dream role for Cole Massie, who has been acting since the age of 7. In this episode of the Major Pain podcast we are joined by writer/director of The Paper Bag Plan Anthony Lucero, star of the film Cole Massie and his mother Michelle, to discuss the creation of this impactful independent film. We hear stories about the writing, casting and filming, along with the real-life inspiration for the story. We also hear from Cole what it was like growing up with cerebral palsy, and how Michelle had to fight the public school system for accommodations. If you live in the Seattle area, don't miss a special screening of The Paper Bag Plan at the Majestic Bay Theatres in Ballard on October 5th at noon, where host of Major Pain Jesse is the General Manager! There will be a live Q&A from Anthony, Cole and Michelle after the film. Proceeds will be donated to United Cerebral Palsy.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for September 19th Publish Date:  September 19th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, September 19th and Happy Birthday to Duke Snider I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Acworth marker celebrates 250 years of American independence East Cobb man sentenced to life for neglect that led to wife’s death 'I don’t want to wait': Kennesaw mayor pushes for immediate additional security Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sweet tooth 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 2 STORY 1: Acworth marker celebrates 250 years of American independence  At Patriots Point in Cauble Park, history came alive Wednesday as the Sons of the American Revolution unveiled a granite marker honoring the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States. The marker reads simply: “Celebrating 250 years of American freedom: 1776-2026.” Dressed in Revolutionary War attire, the Color Guard marched proudly, and Acworth Mayor Tommy Allegood reflected on the park’s purpose. Wayne Brown, treasurer of the Capt. John Collins chapter, led the project. For chapter president Jason Shepherd, it’s personal. Students from Brookwood Christian School joined local leaders to witness the moment. “It’s their history to carry forward,” Shepherd said. STORY 2: East Cobb man sentenced to life for neglect that led to wife’s death  An east Cobb man will spend the rest of his life in prison after a jury convicted him of neglecting his bedridden wife, leading to her death, Cobb District Attorney Sonya Allen announced. Gary Williams, 67, was found guilty of felony murder and neglect in under an hour. Judge Kellie Hill sentenced him to life. Addreinne Gordon, 66, was paralyzed and completely dependent on Williams, her sole caretaker. But when she was admitted to Kennestone Hospital in November 2021, her condition was horrifying—severe bedsores, matted hair, untrimmed nails, and a deep wound on her hip. “She was left lying in filth,” Allen said. “This case wasn’t about how she died—it was about how she was forced to live.” STORY 3: 'I don’t want to wait': Kennesaw mayor pushes for immediate additional security   The Kennesaw City Council is adding metal detectors at meetings—effective immediately. The decision came after a tense back-and-forth at this week’s meeting, sparked by Mayor Derek Easterling’s last-minute push for tighter security. The motion passed 4-1, with Councilman Antonio Jones opposing. Jones argued it could discourage attendance and infringe on Second Amendment rights. The debate followed emotional comments about the recent killing of activist Charlie Kirk. Councilman Anthony Gutierrez urged kindness, while Councilman Pat Ferris asked for prayers for Kirk’s family. Easterling, citing “the times we’re living in,” insisted the change couldn’t wait. “It’s not about feeling unsafe—it’s about being prepared,” he said. The meeting ended with the council divided, but the decision made. Metal detectors are in. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back.

Every bid, every casino chip, every dollar raised will help make that dream a reality.

Add in great food, drinks, and a chance to connect with industry pros and local supporters, and it’s a can’t-miss evening.

Tucked inside the first floor of the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse in Lawrenceville, the Gwinnett County Veterans Memorial Museum (GCVMM) is a hidden gem. It’s free, volunteer-run, and packed with over 4,000 artifacts honoring those who’ve served since 1776. The museum’s story is as rich as its collection. It started in 1989 as a small military display, born from a mission to preserve the courthouse and the graves of eight soldiers from the Creek Indian War. After years of effort, it officially opened on Veterans Day 2005. Now, 20 years later, GCVMM is celebrating its anniversary on Nov. 11 from 3–6 p.m. at the Historic Courthouse.

Kids (and let’s be honest, probably some adults too) can step into Miss Lila Greer’s classroom and join Ada Twist, Scientist; Rosie Revere, Engineer; Iggy Peck, Architect; Sofia Valdez, Future Prez; and Aaron Slater, Illustrator. Build bridges with Iggy, fly Rosie’s Cheese Copter, or dream big in Ada’s thinking chair. It’s all about curiosity, creativity, and, yes, a little failure along the way. Running through Jan. 4, 2026, this bilingual exhibit (English and Spanish) is packed with STEM, art, and civic lessons—plus a whole lot of fun. Find it at 275 Centennial Olympic Park Dr. NW. More info? Head to childrensmuseumatlanta.org. STORY 6: 4-H Farm Friends — A Gwinnett County Fair tradition for more than 3 decades Logan, a sixth-grader with a heart for animals, has always been drawn to anything with fur, feathers, or scales. At his first 4-H event, he spent the day doting on baby ducklings, goats, and sheep—each lovingly named, of course. This year, 4-H Farm Friends is back at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds, running through Sept. 21. For just $1, visitors can cuddle baby chicks, meet cows like Moolan and Ellie May (who turns five on Monday!), and even hang out with goats—new this year. For Logan and his mom, Misty, 4-H is more than animals—it’s community. Pam Bloch, a 4-H leader for 17 years, says the program is about more than cute animals. “We’re teaching kids where their food, clothes, and milk come from,” she said. “It’s hands-on learning they don’t always get in urban areas.” And for Logan? It’s pure joy. STORY 7: Police arrest suspect in North Gwinnett Co-Op burglary A Clarkston man, already serving time in a work-release program for burglary convictions, is now facing fresh charges tied to last month’s break-in at the North Gwinnett Co-Op’s Second Blessings Thrift Store in Buford. Lavan Hickman, 38, was charged with burglary and second-degree criminal damage to property after investigators determined he left the Gwinnett County Correctional Institute on work release before committing the Aug. 19 crime. Surveillance footage showed someone smashing a window with a rock to enter the store, causing over $10,000 in damages. Stolen items included a cash box, money bags, and a Sony camera. Kim Phillips, the co-op’s executive director, expressed heartbreak but also compassion. We’ll have closing comments after this.

My Job Depends on Ag: On today's AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Josh McGill highlighted the power of grassroots advocacy in agriculture with guest Steve Malanka, co-founder of the “My Job Depends on Ag” campaign. What began as a simple blue sticker has grown into one of the most recognizable marketing efforts in California agriculture—uniting farmers, ranchers, and supporters across the San Joaquin Valley and beyond. A Message That Stuck Malanka shared the origins of the campaign, which started with the idea of creating a visible reminder that agriculture supports not just farmers, but entire communities. The familiar sticker, often seen on trucks, tractors, and even storage tanks, carries the straightforward but powerful message: My Job Depends on Ag. One recent example of its reach came from Nutrien Ag Solutions, which displayed a 15-foot-wide decal on one of its massive storage tanks along Highway 33. For Malanka, seeing the message spread so widely underscores the campaign's mission of educating the public that food doesn't come from grocery stores—it begins with farmers who need water, land, and support to keep producing the safest, highest-quality food in the world. More Than a Sticker The campaign has also evolved into a fundraising effort that supports agricultural education. Proceeds from sticker sales go toward scholarships for high school seniors pursuing agriculture degrees. Over the past eight years, the program has contributed $10,000 annually to groups like the Center for Land-Based Learning, ensuring the next generation of ag leaders has resources to continue their education. “This isn't about making money—it's about reinvesting in the future of farming,” Malanka explained, noting that donations are routed through the Central Valley Community Foundation so all proceeds benefit students. Building Awareness and Unity Nick and Josh emphasized how the movement has become more than marketing—it's a bond among farmers and ag supporters. Spotting the sticker on the road has become a sign of solidarity, much like how FFA jackets unite students across the country. With California agriculture facing constant challenges—from water restrictions to growing imports—the hosts encouraged listeners to get involved. “We need to push this more than ever,” Nick said. “Education is huge, and this campaign helps spread the message.” To learn how to get a sticker or support the program, visit AgNetWest.com or email Nick at nick@agnetmedia.com.

J. shows what it looks like to persevere with purpose and why faith, standards, and community matter most when life hits hard.Together, Ben and J.

J. shares his vulnerable journey of setbacks and shame, and how choosing transparency created a book that is not just a story but a playbook for anyone navigating adversity.

Max Meizlish, a senior research analyst, highlights how Chinese money laundering networks are fueling America's fentanyl epidemic by cleaning drug proceeds for Mexican cartels. These networks also enable wealthy Chinese nationals to bypass capital controls and move money out of China. Between 2020 and 2024, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) tracked over $312 billion in suspicious activity linked to these networks. Meizlish suggests the Chinese Communist Party might be aware of, or even permit, some of this activity, especially if it benefits its members. He advocates for targeting Chinese chemical precursor companies and using economic sanctions to combat this issue. 1966 Retry

Kristi Noem Interview By Ward Clark | 6:32 PM on August 31, 2025 Sometimes, the legacy media's bias is so open, so shameless, that it's jaw-dropping. It's been this way since the Nixon years, when we watched on cumbersome tube televisions (as the youngest, I was always the kid who had to get up and change the channel) as the news programs took an almost gleeful tone at President Nixon's troubles. The rise of the internet just made matters worse; while we got some balance with the rise of the alternative media, like this site, the legacy media abandoned any pretext of objectivity. 10:41 – 10:56 (15mins) Weekly: Drew Thomas Allen We call Drew-214-695-8480 @DrewThomasAllenAuthor, America's Last Stand: Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024Host of ‘The Drew Allen Show’ podcast VP of client development at Publius PR & Editor of the Publius National Post. columnistSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 27th Publish Date:  August 27th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, August 27th and Happy Birthday to Paul Reuben I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Root House hosts annual Harvest Dinner to support historic home Cobb County customers react to Cracker Barrel makeover Suspect in Strand Theatre vandalism identified 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 5 STORY 1: Root House hosts annual Harvest Dinner to support historic home The William Root House is gearing up for its annual Harvest Dinner on Sept. 13, and honestly, it’s like stepping back in time—fried chicken, garden veggies, and all. Built in 1845, the Root House is Marietta’s oldest home, though there’s a twist: researchers think parts of it might predate that. Trevor Beemon, Cobb Landmarks’ executive director, said they’re working with University of West Georgia students to analyze timber samples. Tree rings don’t lie, apparently. The Roots, Marietta’s first druggist family, lived there until 1866. Now, it’s a museum—and a perfect spot for Southern-style dinners under the stars. Proceeds? They keep the lights on. STORY 2: Cobb County customers react to Cracker Barrel makeover  Cracker Barrel’s new minimalist logo has stirred up a storm, with some customers calling it progress and others calling it a betrayal. Gone is the man leaning on a barrel—“Uncle Herschel,” a nod to the founder’s family. The redesign, paired with brighter, sleeker interiors, has left longtime fans divided. Meanwhile, Cracker Barrel’s stock has dropped 10%, and the debate rages on. STORY 3: Suspect in Strand Theatre vandalism identified The Marietta Police say they’ve identified the person who broke the Strand Theatre’s box office window early Saturday morning. No charges, though—not yet. “We’ve spoken to the suspect,” said police spokesman Aaron Wright. “The Strand isn’t pressing charges at this time. He was interviewed and released.” The theater, meanwhile, is staying positive. In a statement, they said they’re still open and committed to being a safe, welcoming space for the community. And that’s that, for now. No drama, no arrests—just a broken window and, hopefully, a lesson learned. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: Ingles 5 STORY 4: 'A slap in the face': Cobb to weigh funding request for veterans memorial  After nearly 10 years of planning, the Cobb Veterans Memorial is still stuck in limbo, and Tuesday’s vote by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners might be its last shot at breaking ground. Commissioner JoAnn Birrell is pushing for $1 million from excess SPLOST funds to help close the gap on the now $5 million project. But support? It’s thin. Birrell says her fellow commissioners aren’t on board, and she’s frustrated. The memorial, promised in 2015, has ballooned in cost from $2.5 million to nearly $8 million. Veterans are waiting. Time’s running out. STORY 5: MetroAtlanta Ambulance CEO to Lead Cobb Chamber Pete Quinones, the founder and CEO of MetroAtlanta Ambulance Service, has been named the Cobb Chamber of Commerce’s chairman for 2027. The announcement came Monday, with Quinones set to follow Melissa Cantrell, CEO of CDH Partners, who will serve as chair in 2026. Quinones started his ambulance service in Marietta with one vehicle and four employees. Now? Over 800 employees, 200 vehicles, and a million residents served. Sharon Mason, Cobb Chamber CEO, called him a “steadfast leader” with a vision for growth. Break: STORY 6: A world of flavor and culture comes to Cobb County  Music, laughter, and the mouthwatering aroma of global cuisine filled the air at Cobb County’s International Festival on Saturday. Since 2019, the festival has celebrated the county’s rich diversity, said Adriana Helenek, Cobb’s Hispanic and Latin American liaison. “This year, we’ve got over 10 consulates, food, performances, kids’ activities—it’s all about showing how beautifully diverse Cobb is,” she said. Outside, food trucks served everything from Jamaican jerk to Filipino lumpia. Inside, vendors sold African Ankara fabrics, handmade jewelry, and even crystals (courtesy of Cobb DA Sonya Allen, a self-proclaimed “rock nerd”). STORY 7: New park to honor Vinings folk artist A new pocket park in Vinings will soon honor the vibrant legacy of folk artist Nellie Mae Rowe. Set to open in November, the 1,600-square-foot park will sit at 2857 Paces Ferry Road, where Rowe’s “playhouse” once stood—a home she transformed into a living, breathing work of art. Scrap steel benches, crushed glass walkways, and sculptures by local artist Alan Peterson will reflect her upcycling spirit. Born in 1900 to a blacksmith and seamstress, Rowe’s journey from Fayette County farm fields to celebrated artist is nothing short of inspiring. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Open to motorcycles, jeeps, cars, and convertibles, the event draws up to 150 participants on good-weather days.

Nestled in the heart of the Shenandaoh Valley, the State Arboretum at Blandy Experimental Farm is preparing to celebrate a unique and flavorful piece of the region's natural heritage: the pawpaw. In this episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael sat down with Melanie Mullinax, Communications and Events Manager at Blandy, and Jack Monsted, Assistant Curator of the Native Plant Trail, to discuss the upcoming "Pawpaws and Pints" event—a festival that promises to blend education, community, and a taste of something truly special. The pawpaw, described as America's largest native fruit, has a storied history at Blandy. First planted in the 1920s after a nationwide contest to find the tastiest pawpaw, these trees have quietly thrived on the property for nearly a century. As Jack explains, the fruit's custardy texture and tropical flavor—somewhere between banana and mango—have made it a hidden gem for those lucky enough to discover it growing wild along creeks and forest trails. This year's "Pawpaws and Pints" event, set for September 13th, invites visitors to explore the newly enhanced pawpaw trail, sample the fruit at peak ripeness, and even taste a special pawpaw beer crafted by Winchester Brew Works. The event is more than just a tasting; it's an immersive experience featuring interpretive walks, educational stations, and the chance to purchase pawpaw seedlings to start your own patch at home. With only 120 tickets available, the organizers encourage early registration to ensure a spot at this once-a-season celebration. Melanie emphasizes that every event at Blandy is designed to educate and inspire, and "Pawpaws and Pints" is no exception. Proceeds from the event will support further enhancements to the trail, including new signage and improved accessibility, ensuring that future generations can continue to learn about and enjoy this remarkable native fruit. Family-friendly and community-focused, the festival offers something for everyone—from nature lovers and home gardeners to craft beer enthusiasts and curious newcomers. As the pawpaw enjoys a well-deserved moment in the spotlight, Blandy Experimental Farm stands ready to share its story, its flavors, and its enduring connection to the land. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit blandy.virginia.edu. Don't miss your chance to taste, learn, and celebrate at one of Virginia's most unique autumn events.

Nichelle Morey joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the 2025 Henry and Stark Counties Relay for Life. Hope and community spirit take center stage as Relay For Life marks its 40th anniversary at Windmont Park in Kewanee, Illinois, on Saturday, August 23, 2025. Scheduled from 6 to 10 PM, this annual event pays tribute to all those touched by cancer, shining a light on survivors at every stage. An opening ceremony is at 6 PM, and the highlight of the evening is the Survivor Lap at 6:30, symbolizing collective strength and determination. The open walk is from 7 to 9 PM, followed by the luminary ceremony at 9. The silent auction is from 5 to 9 PM inside the shelter house. Participants can find support for registration and get involved by visiting the event's official website or connecting via the Relay for Life of Henry and Stark Counties Facebook page. The event features an inspiring Survivors Lap, an open walk for all participants, and the moving Luminary Ceremony to honor those affected by cancer. Supporters can purchase fundraising luminary bags for $10, floating luminaries for $25, or torch luminaries for $50, which will be displayed throughout the evening. To learn more or to get involved, head to relayforlife.org/henrystarkil. Join neighbors and friends in the fight against cancer and light up the night in support. A remarkable milestone for the Henry & Stark Counties Relay For Life, as the event has now raised over one million dollars since its first walk in 1999. Organizers and supporters recently celebrated by unveiling a commemorative banner. Leading the local effort are co-chairmen Amy Sternes and Amanda Bickett, joined by American Cancer Society representative Annie Hogan. Proceeds from the relay support cancer research, patient resources, and awareness campaigns. Organizers credit the achievement to years of community participation and steady commitment to the fight against cancer, emphasizing that every donation makes a difference in local and national efforts. Over 40 years ago, Dr. Gordy Klatt started a movement by circling a Tacoma track for 24 hours, raising $27,000 for cancer research and support. From that personal undertaking, Relay For Life has evolved into a worldwide effort, uniting communities in the fight against cancer. Since 1985, participants and volunteers have raised over $6.9 billion, fueling advances in advocacy, research, and patient care across more than 35 countries. The Relay For Life Hall of Fame now honors those whose dedication and leadership continue to inspire hope, support survivors, and honor the memory of loved ones lost to cancer. Dr. Gordon “Gordy” Klatt was inducted in 1997. He previously battled stomach cancer and passed away from heart failure on August 3, 2014, at the age of 71.
