1 / 4 MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 8th Publish Date: October 8th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, October 8th and Happy Birthday to R.L. Stine I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal 1. Man falsely accused of Walmart kidnapping reportedly seeking $25 million in damages 2. Atlanta tenor Timothy Miller launches St. Catherine’s community concert series on Oct. 19 3. Roger Hines publishes debut book 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 7 STORY 1: Man falsely accused of Walmart kidnapping reportedly seeking $25 million in damages Mahendra Patel just wanted to help. That’s what he thought he was doing back in March at a Walmart in Acworth—helping a woman he assumed was disabled, struggling to manage two kids in a motorized cart. Instead, he was accused of trying to kidnap her child. What followed was a nightmare: Patel was arrested, denied bond, and spent 46 days in jail. He lost 17 pounds, endured threats from inmates, and was denied his medication. All for what? A misunderstanding. Surveillance footage later cleared his name, showing Patel calmly shopping, finding Tylenol, and leaving the store. Now, he’s suing Acworth for $25 million. STORY 2: Atlanta tenor Timothy Miller launches St. Catherine’s community concert series on Oct. 19 Mark your calendars: local tenor Timothy Miller will take the stage at St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church in Marietta on Oct. 19 at 3 p.m. as part of The Friends of Music concert series. You’ve probably heard Miller’s powerful voice before—maybe during the seventh-inning stretch at a Braves game, belting out “God Bless America.” But his talent goes far beyond that. From Verdi’s Aida to Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, and even Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Miller’s resume is as impressive as it is diverse. The concert is free (yes, free!), with donations welcome. No tickets needed—just show up early for a good seat. STORY 3: Roger Hines publishes debut book 2 / 4 Roger Hines has released his first book, The Hard and the Beautiful: Life in a Family of Seventeen Children, and it’s as heartfelt as the title suggests. In this memoir, Hines—child number 16 of 17—paints a vivid picture of growing up in rural Mississippi. Life was tough: tenant farms, cotton fields, and the weight of poverty. But it was also rich, thanks to faith, laughter, and the unshakable love of his parents, Walter and Levie Hines. “Poverty doesn’t have to be a dead end,” Hines says. “We were poor, but we were rich in all the ways that matter.” The book is available now on Amazon and at local retailers. 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 7 STORY 4: Police: Intoxicated man made false bomb threat at Johnnie MacCracken’s James E. Lusk, 29, of Marietta, allegedly called in a fake bomb threat to Johnnie MacCracken’s Celtic Firehouse Pub late on Sept. 26—because, according to police, he was drunk and angry. Not exactly a great combo. The arrest warrant also claims Lusk grabbed a woman by the arm during the incident, leaving her in pain. He was arrested three days later and charged with simple battery, false public alarm, and filing a false crime report. Lusk spent a few hours in the Cobb County jail before being released on Sept. 30 on a $10,000 bond. STORY 5: Home Depot hosts Kidde’s Cause for Alarm Home Safety Event On Oct. 4, Kidde teamed up with The Home Depot and iHeartMedia to host a lively fire safety event at The Home Depot on Roswell Road in Marietta. Part of Kidde’s Cause For Alarm campaign, the day was all about raising awareness for fire and carbon monoxide safety—and making homes safer, one alarm at a time. The event kicked off with a Donation Drive-Thru “parade,” complete with fire trucks, gear, and local firefighters from Sandy Springs. Families enjoyed music, food, giveaways, and even met Homer, The Home Depot mascot. The goal? Donate up to $1 million in alarms. Break: 3 / 4 STORY 6: Liberty joins the lineup: Cobb County’s newest K-9 embarks on duty Meet Liberty, the newest (and furriest) member of the Cobb County Sheriff’s K-9 Unit. She’s an 11-month-old bloodhound with a nose for tracking—whether it’s missing people or suspects. But don’t let her serious skills fool you; she’s still a puppy at heart, with a love for stuffed animals (or, honestly, anything she can shred). Liberty is partnered with Deputy Barry Bales, a 17-year veteran who previously worked with K-9 Shax, now retired. “Liberty’s tracking abilities will be a huge asset,” said Sheriff Craig Owens. Expect to see her out and about soon—sniffing, serving, and stealing hearts. STORY 7: Marietta Square gets a seasonal makeover The Marietta Square’s looking a little creepier (and a lot more creative) this October, thanks to the 22nd annual Scarecrows on the Square competition. Local businesses, schools, nonprofits, and just plain crafty Marietta folks have all joined in, decking out scarecrows with everything from humor to heart. Judging happens this week, with winners—Best in Show and category champs—announced at HarvestFest on Oct. 18. HarvestFest kicks off at 9 a.m. in Glover Park, featuring arts and crafts, a pie-eating contest, costumes, and kid-friendly fun. We’ll have closing comments after this.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 4th Publish Date: October 4th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Central Gwinnett High teacher earns national award Gwinnett tops national mean score on SAT, but trails most metro neighbors Housing Matters: Rainbow Village breaks ground on expansion 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: Central Gwinnett High teacher earns national award The Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) just gave Amanda Baker, a health science teacher at Central Gwinnett High, the Goodheart-Wilcox Outstanding Service Award—and honestly, it’s no surprise. For 11 years, Baker’s been the heart and soul of her HOSA chapter. Her chapter’s done it all—blood drives, parade floats, Stop the Bleed certifications, and sending students to Internationals in events like Biomedical Debate. STORY 2: Gwinnett tops national mean score on SAT, but trails most metro neighbors   Gwinnett County Public Schools is celebrating its Class of 2025 SAT scores for beating the national average—1003 compared to 996—but the story’s a bit more complicated. While the district outpaced the nation, it fell short of Georgia’s state average (1029) and ranked seventh among 12 Metro RESA districts. Schools like Decatur City (1181) and Forsyth County (1178) left Gwinnett in the dust. Interim Superintendent Dr. Al Taylor remains optimistic. Bright spots? GSMST (1360) and North Gwinnett (1165). But some schools, like Meadowcreek (836), are struggling. STORY 3: Housing Matters: Rainbow Village breaks ground on expansion  Big things are happening at Rainbow Village. On Sept. 29, they broke ground on a major campus expansion that’ll more than double their capacity to help homeless families—going from 30 transitional apartments to 66. Families who live there get more than just a roof over their heads. They learn how to budget, tackle debt, and save for the future. Utilities and internet? Covered. The $15 million project is 73% funded, but there’s still work to do. 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: Brian Snitker out as Braves' manager, will transition into advisory role After months of speculation, Brian Snitker finally made it official: he’s stepping down as Braves manager after the 2025 season. But don’t worry—he’s not going far. Starting in 2026, he’ll take on an advisory role, marking his 50th year with the organization. At 70, Snitker’s ready for a slower pace—more time with family, fewer road trips. His journey with the Braves started in 1977, thanks to Hank Aaron, who gave him his first coaching job. As the Braves prepare to find their next manager, Snitker’s legacy looms large. From consignment-store bunk beds in the minors to hoisting a championship trophy, he’s seen it all. STORY 5: Buford City Schools names District Teacher of the Year Emily Stewart, Buford Senior Academy’s media specialist, was named the 2025 District Teacher of the Year for Buford City Schools—and honestly, it’s no surprise to anyone who knows her. Stewart, who works with third through fifth graders, has turned the Media Center into something magical. It’s not just a library anymore—it’s a place where kids discover new worlds, take risks as readers, and actually *want* to read. Her Reading Challenge program? A hit. The Genre Café? Genius. Kids sampling books like they’re at a coffee shop? Who wouldn’t love that? But she doesn’t stop there. Stewart organizes school communications, helps teachers with tech, and even runs district-wide events like Books on the Bus, giving free books to families. We’ll be right back. Break 3: LILBURN DAZE STORY 6: Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful names 2025-26 Green Youth Advisory Council class Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful is kicking off another year of shaping young leaders with its Green Youth Advisory Council (GYAC) for 2025-2026. This year’s group? Twenty passionate high schoolers from 12 schools across Gwinnett County, ready to make a difference. New faces include Amari Wilson (South Gwinnett), Maansi Singh (GSMST), and Holly Spake (Brookwood), while returning members like Ananya Desai (Peachtree Ridge) and Brian Le (Brookwood) are back for more. From tackling litter to launching school programs, they’ll serve as advocates, volunteers, and innovators. Oh, and seniors? They’re eligible for a $1,000 scholarship. STORY 7: New store open at Mall of Georgia Johnston & Murphy, the classic American brand that’s been around since, well, 1850, is now open at the Mall of Georgia. You’ll find it upstairs, right across from JCPenney. Known for everything from handcrafted dress shoes to casual sneakers, polished jackets to everyday staples, Johnston & Murphy has this knack for blending timeless style with modern vibes. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a statement shoe *and* a go-to sweater in one trip. The boutique? Sleek, modern, and totally worth a visit.

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. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. 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.

But it’s more than just slides and monkey bars—it’s a heartfelt tribute to Laura Akers, the school’s beloved former principal who passed away in May. Akers believed recess was sacred. “It’s where kids learn to be kind, to share, to just be kids,” said Assistant Principal Amy Walker. Now, thanks to $145,000 in donations, her spirit will echo in every joyful shout and game of tag. STORY 2: Motorcyclist killed in crash at Woodstock parking deck   A 19-year-old lost his life Tuesday night in a motorcycle crash at the City Center East Parking Deck in downtown Woodstock. When officers arrived, his friends were already trying to help, but despite their efforts—and those of emergency responders—he didn’t make it. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Woodstock police believe speed played a role and are investigating. The sixth floor of the parking deck is now closed while the investigation continues. Woodstock Fire and Cherokee County emergency crews also responded to the tragic scene. STORY 3: Charity bike ride coming to Cherokee County Saturday Heads up, Cherokee County drivers—Saturday’s going to be a bit slower on the roads. The Van Purser Foundation’s All For One 100 charity bike ride is rolling through, and about 100 cyclists will be pedaling their way across parts of the county. Expect delays from around 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., especially near Hickory Flat, Avery, Macedonia, and Free Home. The sheriff’s office is asking drivers to take it easy and stay alert. It’s all for a good cause, though, so maybe give the riders a wave—or a little extra space. Curious about the foundation? Check out vanpurserfoundation.org.

Known for its artisan-roasted beans and a menu that’s as thoughtful as it is delicious, Café Flōralia isn’t just about coffee. It’s about connection. The new location will serve students, entrepreneurs, and locals alike, offering everything from curbside pickup to natural energy drinks. STORY 5: Campaign for Georgia lieutenant governor gets another GOP contender  The race for Georgia’s lieutenant governor is heating up, with six state lawmakers now in the mix. The latest? Sen. Greg Dolezal, a Republican from Cumming, who’s leaning hard into his conservative credentials. Dolezal’s campaign ad, complete with sirens blaring, paints a dire picture: “The radical left is threatening public safety,” he warns. He’s touting his work on the Riley Gaines Act, which bans transgender athletes born male from competing on women’s teams, and promises to crack down on rioters, illegal immigration, and “soft on crime” prosecutors. But he’s not alone. Heavyweights like Sens. John F. Kennedy, Steve Gooch, and Blake Tillery are also vying for the spot, alongside Rep. David Clark, and Democrat Sen. Josh McLaurin, who’s made it clear he wants nothing to do with Trump. It’s shaping up to be a wild primary, with candidates scrambling for Trump’s endorsement—though Dolezal’s already taken a swipe at rivals for their “political opportunism” when it comes to the former president.

Amy Wroe Bechtel disappeared on July 24, 1997, in the small town of Lander, Wyoming. A 24-year-old newlywed and avid runner, Amy set out for a jog on a rural loop in the Wind River Mountains and never returned. Her car was found abandoned at a turnout along the road, and her keys, wallet, and other personal belongings were left inside. The search that followed was massive—hundreds of volunteers, search dogs, helicopters, and divers scoured the rugged terrain—but no trace of Amy was ever found. Her disappearance shook the close-knit community and quickly drew national attention.Suspicion soon fell on her husband, Steve Bechtel, a climbing enthusiast, after investigators discovered a troubling journal entry where he had written about violence toward women. Though he denied involvement and has never been charged, the cloud of suspicion has followed him for decades. Other theories emerged, including the possibility that Amy was abducted by a stranger or fell victim to serial killer Dale Wayne Eaton, who was active in Wyoming at the time. Yet none of these leads ever produced answers. Nearly three decades later, Amy's case remains unsolved, a haunting mystery that continues to weigh heavily on her family and on the town of Lander.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comTonya Teske, a 16-year-old from Billings, Montana, vanished on October 11, 2001, after telling her parents she was going for a walk. She never returned home. Within days, her body was discovered in a wooded area on the outskirts of town, sparking an outpouring of grief and fear across the community. Investigators determined that Tonya had been strangled, and the brutality of the crime shocked her classmates and neighbors. For a time, her murder looked like it might be quickly solved, as authorities pursued leads and interviewed those closest to her.But the case soon grew cold. Despite various theories and investigative efforts, no one has ever been charged with her killing. Over the years, her name has surfaced in discussions about unsolved crimes in Montana, with some speculating whether a serial predator could have been involved. Others point to missed opportunities in the early investigation that might have left crucial evidence unexplored. Today, more than two decades later, Tonya's murder remains officially unsolved, an open wound for her family and a reminder of the fragility of justice in cases where answers never come.“Lil Miss Murder” refers to the long-unsolved killing of Lisa Marie Kimmell, an 18-year-old from Billings, Montana, who vanished in March 1988 while driving to visit her boyfriend in Wyoming. Nicknamed “Lil Miss” because of her personalized black Honda CRX license plate, Lisa was last seen in Casper, Wyoming, after a routine traffic stop. A week later, her body was discovered in the North Platte River near Casper; she had been brutally assaulted and murdered. For years, the case baffled investigators and haunted both her family and the wider region, as no suspect was ever firmly identified despite widespread coverage and multiple leads.The mystery stretched on for over a decade until advances in DNA testing finally provided a break. In 2002, authorities connected evidence from Lisa's case to Dale Wayne Eaton, a drifter with a violent history, who was later convicted and sentenced to death for her murder. Eaton's property even revealed a buried vehicle that some believed to be Lisa's missing car. Though his death sentence was overturned in 2014 due to procedural issues, Eaton remains in prison, and many believe he may have been responsible for other disappearances in the region. Lisa's case became one of the most notorious in Wyoming history, a chilling reminder of how long justice can be delayed, and why her haunting nickname—“Lil Miss Murder”—still echoes decades later.bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
