Cobb elections director not to return after leave

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for September 17th Publish Date:  September 17th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, September 17th and Happy Birthday to Hank Williams I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb elections director not to return after leave Sawyer Road Elementary celebrates 20 years with $7.7M renovation reveal Three arrested, charged in east Cobb Waffle House fight 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 1 STORY 1: Cobb elections director not to return after leave  After less than two years on the job, Cobb County Elections Director Tate Fall is stepping down—for good. Fall, who came to Cobb from Arlington County, Virginia, was appointed in late 2023 and has since overseen nine elections, including the 2024 General Election. But last month, she requested leave, and now it’s official: she won’t be back. In her absence, Michael D’Itri, a longtime county employee and Elections Prep Center manager, has stepped in as acting director. Why is Fall leaving? The county isn’t saying, and Fall herself hasn’t commented. STORY 2: Sawyer Road Elementary celebrates 20 years with $7.7M renovation reveal  Sawyer Road Elementary just hit the big 2-0, and it’s looking better than ever. Thanks to a $7.7 million renovation, the school got a serious glow-up—new floors, ceilings, lighting, windows, paint, and even a revamped media center. The upgrades, funded by the E-SPLOST VI program, were unveiled Monday during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “This isn’t just fresh paint and new windows,” said board member Kerry Minervini. “It’s an investment in our kids’ futures.” Fifth-grader Adamary Lopez-Cisneros summed it up perfectly: “It’s like watching your house get remodeled. It feels special—like they care about us.” And honestly? It shows. STORY 3: Three arrested, charged in east Cobb Waffle House fight It was chaos at a Waffle House on Sandy Plains Road last week, and now all three suspects involved in the early-morning brawl have been arrested, according to Cobb County jail records. Sammy Dodd, 17, of Ball Ground, and Daniel Riley, 18, of Calhoun, are accused of climbing the counter, kicking plates, and assaulting a staff member—leaving him bruised and cut, with pain in his chest and back. Oh, and they allegedly broke 24 plates in the process. Blake Talley-Stewart, 17, of Roswell, reportedly threw a plate of food and a drink into the fray. All three face misdemeanor charges, with bonds ranging from $1,870 to $5,720. 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 1 STORY 4: UPDATE: Cobb teachers on administrative leave for 'unacceptable comments' on Kirk shooting The Cobb County School District is investigating “unacceptable” social media posts by educators about the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Some posts, according to the district, appeared to celebrate his death—a claim that’s sparked outrage. Nan Kiel, the district’s spokesperson, confirmed that employees involved have been placed on administrative leave. “They won’t be in classrooms or interacting with students,” she said, adding that the district will report the matter to Georgia’s ethics board for educators. Jeff Hubbard, president of the Cobb County Association of Educators, urged teachers to pause before posting online. Other Georgia employers, like Delta and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, have also fired or suspended workers over similar comments. STORY 5: Georgia Bureau of Investigation promotes Mableton resident The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has promoted Mableton resident Kimberly Jewett to lead the Trace Evidence Section of its Crime Lab—a big step for someone who’s been with the GBI since 2009. Jewett, who started as a trace evidence scientist, has worked on everything from hair analysis to gunshot residue. Now, she’ll oversee the section’s staff and operations. A University of West Georgia grad (biology, cum laude), Jewett is also an instructor for the GBI Resiliency Program. Her leadership? It’s already making waves. Break: STORY 6: Former Republican, Duncan, running for governor as Democrat  In a twist no one saw coming, former Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is running for Georgia governor—as a Democrat. His campaign? All about financial stability and dialing down the political chaos. In a YouTube video posted Monday, Duncan didn’t hold back, calling out Donald Trump as an extremist and wearing Trump’s criticism like “a badge of honor.” Duncan’s been on Trump’s bad side since rejecting his 2020 election claims and writing GOP 2.0, a book urging Republicans to move past Trumpism. Now, he’s taking on big issues: child care costs, families struggling to afford medicine, and, of course, political moderation. Duncan joins a crowded Democratic primary with Jason Esteves, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Michael Thurmond. Meanwhile, the GOP race is heating up between Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and Attorney General Chris Carr. STORY 7: UPDATE: 16-year-old charged in Mableton killing  A 16-year-old has been arrested for allegedly killing 17-year-old David Daniel at a Mableton home Saturday evening, Cobb Police said. Officers were called to a house on Milam Creek Road around 5:41 p.m. for a medical emergency. They found David on the front porch, suffering from a stab wound to his left torso. He was rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it. The suspect, whose name hasn’t been released, was arrested without much incident and charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a knife during a crime. Mableton Mayor Michael Owens called the loss “heartbreaking,” urging the community to support David’s family and Pebblebrook High School, where he was a student. The investigation is ongoing, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 3, 2025 37:43


Talia Weiner is a psychological anthropologist, licensed professional counselor, and assistant professor of psychology at the University of West Georgia. As a medical and psychological anthropologist, her work focuses on the intersection of social-structural forces and how those forces show up in lived experience, particularly in relation to mental health care. Weiner studies these and other topics with students in the Clinical Ethnography Lab within the University of West Georgia's psychology program. Weiner has an upcoming book titled Therapeutic Inequalities: Mood Disorder Self-Management in Chicago, scheduled for release Jan. 6, 2026, through NYU Press's Anthropologies of American Medicine: Culture, Power, and Practice series. In this interview, Weiner discusses how conservative sociopolitical trends influence psychology and mental health care—how, for example, people with bipolar disorder are expected to monitor and manage themselves in ways that are not only unrealistic but also blur the lines between self and disease. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

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.
