This video product for AFN Tokyo highlights the 374th Airlift Wing Vehicle Management Shop's Summer Rebuild Program at Yokota Air Base. The Summer Rebuild Program is put in place to ensure that all snow fleet vehicles are ready to keep the flight line and roads clear of snow during the winter months.

The 374th Airlift Wing brought together Airmen from various career fields for Yokota Air Base's first mission-ready Airmen rodeo training at Tama Hills, Japan, on June 28, 2024. This training is essential as the Air Force transitions to employing smaller teams capable of performing a broader range of duties with limited resources in contested locations globally.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for Dec 7th       Publish Date:  Dec 6th     Commercial: Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.  Today is Thursday, December 7th and Happy 75th Birthday to HOF catcher Johnny Bench. ***12.07.23 - BIRTHDAY - JOHNNY BENCH*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Kennesaw Airman is 1 of 8 Killed in Training Exercise Off Japanese Coast Cobb State Lawmakers Split Over Israel Resolution Cobb School Board to Consider $100 Million in Construction Loans Plus, Bruce Jenkins sits down with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets to discuss reflux diets. 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: CU of GA  STORY 1: Kennesaw Airman is 1 of 8 Killed in Training Exercise Off Japanese Coast Air Force Staff Sgt. Jake M. Turnage, a 25-year-old from Kennesaw, was one of eight U.S. airmen killed in a CV-22 Osprey aircraft crash off the coast of Japan during a training exercise. Turnage served as a flight engineer with the 21st Special Operations Squadron, part of the 353rd Special Operations Wing at Yokota Air Base. The crash occurred on Nov. 29, and recovery operations have transitioned from search and rescue to search and recovery. The other seven airmen who lost their lives in the crash were identified, representing various roles and units within the Air Force. STORY 2: Cobb State Lawmakers Split Over Israel Resolution The Georgia House passed a resolution condemning Hamas for murders and expressing support for Israel, with Democrats splitting on the vote. The resolution, condemning an attack by Hamas that killed Israelis and a subsequent conflict that led to Palestinian deaths, saw some Democrats abstaining or being excused. Cobb's Republican House representatives supported the resolution, except one, while most Democratic representatives were excused or did not vote. Critics accused some Democrats of avoiding a vote. The resolution's GOP sponsorship drew criticism from Democrats, suggesting it was politically motivated and failed to address Palestinian deaths. Cobb's divide on the issue was highlighted by the Board of Commissioners' consideration of a similar pro-Israel resolution, which was ultimately pulled amidst community concerns about the Palestinian experience. STORY 3: Cobb School Board to Consider $100 Million in Construction Loans The Cobb Board of Education is set to consider issuing a request for $100 million in construction notes to fund special-purpose local-option sales tax (SPLOST) projects in 2024. This short-term borrowing tool will be repaid using SPLOST revenue. The move is part of a common practice in Cobb to get a head start on projects and counter rising construction costs. While the board will decide on the request, a vote on approving bids for loans is expected later. Additionally, the board will vote on approving new vehicles, including transit vans, maintenance trucks, and police vehicles, using SPLOST V funding.

The development encompasses three warehouses, up to 140 townhomes, 200 age-restricted apartments, and up to 30,000 square feet of retail space on a 57-acre piece of land. The land, zoned differently in various areas, would see the northern part rezoned for housing and retail, and the southern part for warehouses. The Planning Commission made two motions for the Board of Commissioners to consider—one rezoning the entire property for retail and housing, and another approving both zoning categories, each with stipulations. The fate of the development now rests with the Board of Commissioners. STORY 5: Marietta Employees Honored by Mayor and City Manager Marietta Mayor Steve Tumlin and City Manager Bill Bruton honored current and retired city employees at an awards ceremony. Recipients included Tracey Cephas, Shelly Drewry, and Raymone Calhoun, who received the City Manager's Award for Exceptional Service.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Nov. 29 at 7 a.m. CT: RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — International mediators appeared to have made progress Wednesday on extending the truce in Gaza. They are encouraging the territory's Hamas rulers to keep freeing hostages in return for the release of Palestinian prisoners and further respite from Israel's air and ground offensive. The deal will otherwise expire within a day. Israel has welcomed the release of dozens of hostages in recent days and says it will maintain the truce if Hamas keeps freeing captives. But its other major goal is the annihilation of the armed group that has ruled Gaza for 16 years and orchestrated the deadly attack on Israel that triggered the war. That seems less and less likely. TOKYO (AP) — A crew member who was recovered from the ocean after a U.S. military Osprey aircraft carrying six people crashed Wednesday off southern Japan has been pronounced dead. Japanese coast guard officials say the cause of the crash and the status of the five others on the aircraft were not immediately known. Initial reports said the aircraft was carrying eight people, but the U.S. military later revised the number to six. The Osprey is a tiltrotor aircraft that can function as a helicopter and a turboprop aircraft. U.S. and Japanese officials say the aircraft belonged to Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo. U.S. Air Force officials at Yokota said they are still confirming information and had no immediate comment. CLEVELAND (AP) — An early blast of cold and snow shut down schools in Cleveland on Tuesday and made driving on heavily traveled Interstate 90 in northern Ohio treacherous. A lake-effect snow warning was issued by the National Weather Service for areas from Cleveland eastward into Erie, Pennsylvania. Just before 11 a.m. Tuesday, the weather service said observers had reported 13 inches or more in Ashtabula County in Ohio and Erie County in Pennsylvania along with 11.6 inches in Lake County, Ohio. A foot or more of snow also had fallen across a largely rural stretch of upstate New York east of Lake Ontario, with one spot recording 23 inches. PLAINS, Ga. (AP) — Rosalynn Carter is set to receive her final accolades and farewells in Plains, Georgia. It's the same tiny town where the former first lady was born. There, she and former President Jimmy Carter based his 1976 presidential campaign and returned after their White House years as they became global humanitarians. Rosalynn Carter died Nov. 19. Her funeral Wednesday will be held at Maranatha Baptist Church. The service comes on the last of three days of public tributes. The 99-year-old former president attended a memorial service Tuesday in Atlanta. Rosalynn Carter will be buried in a plot she will one day share with her husband. WASHINGTON (AP) — The global economy, which has proved surprisingly resilient this year, is expected to falter next year under the strain of wars, still-elevated inflation and continued high interest rates. The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development estimated Wednesday that international growth will slow to 2.7% in 2024 from an expected 2.9% pace this year. That would amount to the slowest growth since the pandemic year of 2020. A key factor is that the OECD expects the world's two biggest economies, the United States and China, to decelerate next year. The U.S. economy is forecast to expand just 1.5% in 2024, from 2.4% in 2023, as the Federal Reserve's interest rate increases restrain growth. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sean “Diddy” Combs has temporarily stepped down as chairman of his television network Revolt amid multiple sexual abuse allegations against the music mogul. Revolt announced Combs' decision on social media Tuesday. It's not clear when he will return to his media company – which said Combs previously had “no operational or day-to-day role” at the network. Combs declined to comment on the matter. The network has been preparing to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Earlier this month, R&B singer Cassie accused Combs of raping and beating her over the duration of their decadeslong, on-and-off relationship. After Cassie, two more women came forward to accuse him of sexual abuse. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The Emirati president-designate for the upcoming United Nations COP28 climate talks has forcefully denied a report alleging his nation planned to use the summit to strike oil and gas deal, a day before the summit was due to being. Sultan al-Jaber, who also leads the massive state-run Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., called the allegations Wednesday from a BBC report “an attempt to undermine the work of the COP28 presidency” before the talks begin Thursday. The report cited what it described as “leaked briefing documents” the broadcaster described as showing the Emirates planned to discuss fossil fuel deals with 15 nations. The BBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment. BLUFFTON, S.C. (AP) — Nikki Haley says former President Donald Trump causes too much chaos to be successful in a second White House term. She reiterated her argument about the GOP front-runner at a large town hall Monday in her home state of South Carolina. The former governor and United Nations ambassador drew the largest crowd of her primary campaign so far as she tries to close the gap with Trump just weeks before the Iowa caucuses kick off the Republican nominating calendar. Haley says the time is now right for a new generation in U.S. leadership. Officials at a satellite campus of the University of South Carolina said around 2,500 people gathered for the event. NEW YORK (AP) — It's not just you. Across the U.S., prices at the pump have felt milder in recent months. Gas prices have fallen or remained steady since September 19 — marking about a 70-day trajectory of decline. That's according to Andrew Gross, a spokesperson for motor club AAA. As of Tuesday, the national average for gas prices stood just below $3.25. That's down 25 cents from a month ago and 30 cents less than this time last year. Experts point to recent declines in oil prices and a seasonal dip in demand, which is projected to continue in the coming months. A change in trajectory is always possible of course — particularly if there are shifts in the larger global market. WASHINGTON (AP) — A key Federal Reserve official raised the possibility that the Fed could decide to cut its benchmark interest rate as early as spring if inflation keeps declining steadily. The official, Christopher Waller, cautioned that inflation is still too high and that it's not yet certain if a recent slowdown in price increases can be sustained. But he sounded the most optimistic notes of any Fed official since the central bank launched its aggressive streak of rate hikes. Waller is regarded as a relatively “hawkish" official, meaning that he typically favors higher rates to combat inflation rather than low rates to boost job growth. But he has also become somewhat of a bellwether for the Fed's overall rate-setting committee. American consumers are feeling slightly more confident this month as the all-important holiday shopping season kicks into high gear. The Conference Board, a business research group, said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose to 102 from 99.1 in October. Analysts were expecting a reading of 101. The October reading was revised down from an original reading of 102.6. The index measuring Americans short-term expectations for income, business and job market rose to 77.8 in November from 72.7 in October. It was the third straight reading below 80 for future expectations, which historically signals a recession within a year. NEW YORK (AP) — Sports Illustrated is the latest media company damaged by being less than forthcoming about who or what is writing its stories at the dawn of the artificial intelligence age. The website Futurism reported that the once-grand magazine used articles with “authors” who apparently don't exist, with photos generated by AI. The magazine denied claims that some articles themselves were AI-assisted, but has cut ties with a vendor it hired to produce the articles. The Gannett newspaper chain and the tech website CNET each had unsuccessful experiments with AI this past year and had kept readers in the dark about what they were doing. College football's four unbeaten majors top the College Football Playoff rankings, the NBA's in-season tournament has its elite eight, college basketball's top-ranked team wins again, and a win for the Wild's new coach in his debut. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

People are Dan Smith's business—specifically, entertainment people. As creator and producer of Fox Backstage Pass, his goal isn't just to get the biggest celebrities onto his weekly entertainment program: it's to get those stars to look at what he can offer and definitively say, “Yeah, let's do that.” It was Smith who leveraged his experience as a former U.S. Air Force public relations superintendent to get Will Smith (no relation) on a Blackhawk helicopter ride from Nishi Azabu to Yokota Air Base and back to promote I Am Legend in 2007. At the time Smith was producing entertainment segments for Japanese networks with his independent Access Television LLC, and the stunt caught the attention of Fox. Smith subsequently got the principal cast of 2012's Battleship onto an actual U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, and when Tom Cruise came to promote Edge of Tomorrow, the Japanese distributor naturally approached him to find out what he could do to help promote the film. The feather in his cap was when the promoter for Michael Jackson himself sought Smith out to cover what would have been the King of Pop's final Japanese tour. “That's when I started thinking, oh, maybe I'm kind of successful at this,” Smith says. It's that variety that keeps Smith going. “I get up every day excited that I am never going to have the same day—never,” he says. “It's never going to repeat itself. That in itself just gets me charged up to go out there and kick some ass. I love that aspect about my job, and I love that aspect about my programs.” Tune in to hear Dan's prospective on business and what keeps him motivated on his day to day. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/donald-thomas6/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/donald-thomas6/support
