BREAK: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) STORY 1: Cobb, Marietta Teachers of the Year Receive New Cars At the Cobb Chamber of Commerce’s Marquee Monday luncheon, the top three Teachers of the Year from Cobb County School District and Marietta's Teacher of the Year received year-long car leases from Voyles Automotive Group, including insurance coverage. Each teacher selected a car from a dealership, with Marietta's Maria Nelson choosing a gray 2025 Kia Telluride. Cobb's overall Teacher of the Year, Karen Wright, selected a white 2024 Honda Pilot. The event celebrated their achievements with videos highlighting their impact. Both Wright and Nelson will compete for Georgia Teacher of the Year, with a chance to keep their cars permanently if they win. STORY 2: 1 Dead, 1 Injured in Austell Shooting Over the weekend, a shooting at a home in Austell resulted in one death and one injury. Cobb County Police responded to the incident on Linworth Boulevard around 12:30 a.m. Sunday. Jeffrey Moore, 54, of LaGrange, Georgia, died from his injuries, while another 44-year-old man from LaGrange is in stable condition. Police arrested 42-year-old Courtney Rashun Woullard of Austell at the scene. Woullard faces charges including murder and aggravated assault and is held without bond. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Cobb Police Major Crimes Unit. STORY 3: Gun Brought to Marietta Preschool In an email to families, Christine Ramirez, director of Marietta's Emily Lembeck Early Learning Center, reported that a child brought a loaded handgun to preschool. The Marietta Police Department found that the child's regular backpack was broken, and the parent unknowingly sent the child with a different bag containing the weapon. There was no intent to harm, and the gun was not displayed in class. The investigation is ongoing to determine if charges are necessary. Ramirez invited parents to contact her with questions, and praised the handling of the situation by the child and teacher. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

  • Cannabis Commission Holds Statewide Patient Listening Tour

    Cannabis Commission Holds Statewide Patient Listening Tour
    Nov 4 2024

    From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Monday, November 4th and I'm Keith Ippolito.

    Cannabis Commission Holds Statewide Patient Listening Tour

    The Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission is hosting a statewide Patient Listening Tour to engage with patients, caregivers, health professionals, and interested parties about the progress of Georgia's medical cannabis program. The tour includes sessions at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 6 at Kennesaw State University, Nov. 14 at Macon Middle Georgia State University, and Nov. 21 at Lanier Technical College. These sessions aim to gather input to enhance the program, established under Georgia's Hope Act of 2019, which legalized medical cannabis and set up the Commission as the regulatory body. The Act allows the Commission to license up to six companies for cultivation, manufacture, and dispensing, with licenses expanding as the patient registry grows. The Georgia Department of Public Health oversees the registry and issues cards to patients and caregivers. Licensed companies such as Botanical Sciences and Trulieve GA will also participate, providing insights into their operations and products.

  • Candidate for Chief Deputy Sheriff Misused Force, Documents Show

    Candidate for Chief Deputy Sheriff Misused Force, Documents Show
    Nov 1 2024

    From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Friday, November 1st and I'm Keith Ippolito.

    Candidate for Chief Deputy Sheriff Misused Force, Documents Show

    Documents released by the Cobb County Democratic Committee reveal that Michael Dondelinger, a candidate for Chief Deputy Sheriff, was investigated multiple times for misuse of force during his tenure as a sergeant in the Cobb Sheriff’s Office. Incidents include authorizing force as punishment, striking an inmate, and drawing a gun on civilians. Despite these past issues, Republican candidate David Cavender, who selected Dondelinger as his chief deputy, defends him, citing the incidents as nearly two decades old and asserting that Dondelinger has since learned his lesson. The revelations have intensified the sheriff race, with accusations exchanged between Cavender and Democratic Sheriff Craig Owens. Cavender argues that Owens was aware of Dondelinger's past when promoting him to captain, while Owens criticizes the timing of these disclosures. The race has become contentious, with both sides leveraging past incidents to sway voters ahead of the election.
