Board of Regents seeking to ban transgender women from college sports

The University System of Georgia Board of Regents has voted to urge collegiate sports organizations to ban transgender women from participating in women's sports. This decision follows a similar move by the Georgia High School Association, which requires students to compete based on their birth gender. The issue gained attention during the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships when Lia Thomas, a transgender athlete, won the 500-meter freestyle. Critics argue that transgender women have an unfair advantage and express discomfort with shared locker rooms. The Board's resolution aligns with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' policy, which already bans transgender women from women's sports. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones plans to introduce legislation in 2025 to ban transgender women from sports at Georgia's public colleges. Opponents of such bans argue they discriminate against transgender students, who already face high rates of prejudice and mental health challenges.

BREAK: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL)

STORY 1:Sushi Restaurant, Italian Bakery, Sister Restaurant to Open in Avenue East Cobb

Avenue East Cobb is set to welcome five new businesses, including Italian bakery Giulia, its sister restaurant Luga, and Tenku Sushi Elevation, along with retail stores Boll & Branch and Nic + Zoe. Giulia, known for pastries and coffee, and Luga, offering Italian cuisine, will open in spring 2025. Tenku Sushi Elevation, featuring signature rolls and a rooftop bar, will debut in summer 2025. Boll & Branch, a luxury bedding store, opens this winter, while fashion retailer Nic + Zoe aims for a holiday opening. These additions bring the mall's occupancy to 96%, up from 75% in 2021.

STORY 2:Cobb Police Department Celebrates 100 Years

The Cobb County Police Department, originating as road and bridge inspectors in the early 1900s, has grown significantly since its inception. Initially employing two officers for traffic control in 1924, the department expanded due to public demand for law enforcement against vagrants and lawbreakers. Now, it boasts 650 members serving over 770,000 residents, a major sports team, and a large university. Celebrating its centennial, the department received a proclamation from Chairwoman Lisa Cupid, acknowledging its professional service. Key milestones include the first police vehicle in 1929, moonshine busts in the 1940s, and the formation of a SWAT team in 1977. The department honors six officers who died in the line of duty, highlighting their sacrifices and the character of its members.

STORY 3:New Whitlock Kroger Gaming Machines Spark Backlash

The installation of gaming machines at the Whitlock Avenue Kroger in Marietta has sparked controversy among residents. Former Councilman Johnny Sinclair's video of the machines, which dispense prizes like gift cards, ignited backlash, with many comparing the store to a gas station. While Kroger claims the machines support Georgia's HOPE Scholarship and Pre-K Program, residents like Cobb GOP Chair Salleigh Grubbs and Councilman Johnny Walker criticize the decision, fearing it will attract a negative crowd and detract from the store's image. The city is investigating if the machines require additional licensing, and many residents express a preference for shopping at Publix instead.

STORY 4:Statewide Deer Firearms Hunting Season Opens Oct. 19

The Georgia deer hunting firearms season starts on October 19 and runs through January 2025. The season promises high hunter success, with a record number of mature bucks being harvested. Nearly 180,000 hunters took about 240,000 deer last season, supporting a healthy deer population. The Hunters for the Hungry Program is expanding to provide quality protein to families in need. Public hunting is available on nearly one million acres, though some areas are affected by Hurricane Helene. Hunters can use specific firearms and must adhere to harvest limits. All deer must be reported within 24 hours, and hunters are urged to help prevent Chronic Wasting Disease. For more details, visit GeorgiaWildlife.com.

STORY 5:Mount Paran Students Amass a Record 91% AP Exam Pass Rate

Mount Paran Christian School achieved a 91% pass rate on 398 AP exams taken by students last spring, marking a record high. Eighty-one students and recent graduates earned AP Scholar Awards, reflecting their success. The school has consistently maintained an 81% or higher pass rate over the past five years. Seven subjects, including AP Human Geography and AP Spanish Language, had 100% pass rates. MPCS was named to the 2024 AP School Gold Honor Roll and received the AP Access Award for broadening student participation. AP courses enhance college readiness, with students often earning college credits and accelerating their graduation paths.

STORY 1:Teen Sentenced for Killing 15-Year-Old in Smyrna Car Crash

A Douglasville teen, Garrett Tyler Betts, has been sentenced to 15 years, serving seven, for a car crash that killed 15-year-old Ryan Chase Huckeba in Smyrna. Betts, 19, pleaded guilty to charges including first-degree vehicular homicide. The crash occurred in August 2023 when Betts was allegedly street racing at 100 mph in a 45-mph zone. He lost control, and the car hit a tree, ejecting Huckeba, who died at the scene. Betts was seriously injured. The other driver involved, Caleb Evans Hasty, has been indicted, with his case still pending.

STORY 2:Cobb County Water System Reports 2 Sewage Overflows

The Cobb County Water System reported two sewer overflows. The first, on October 4, involved 490 gallons of wastewater due to roots at 4009 Chelsea Lane NE, Marietta, affecting Walden Creek. It was resolved the same day. The second, a larger overflow of 448,890 gallons from September 30 to October 4, was caused by gravel at 2800 Cobb Galleria Parkway, Atlanta, impacting a tributary of Rottenwood Creek. Both incidents involved sewage discharge from manholes, with crews using jet machines to clear blockages and clean the areas. For details, contact the Water System’s Maintenance Division.

STORY 3:KSU Students Protest for Palestine One Year into War

On the anniversary of Hamas' attack on Israel, Kennesaw State University students protested for Palestinian support, urging a Gaza ceasefire. The peaceful protest, joined by the Party for Socialism and Liberation, called for divestment from Israeli entities and an end to Middle East conflicts. KSU's Hillel group observed the day with a moment of silence and distributed pins for hostages' return. Concerns about anti-Israel rhetoric were noted by Jewish students. The protest highlighted the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with over 41,000 Palestinians reported killed. Campus officials confirmed all groups had permission to protest.

The peaceful protest, joined by the Party for Socialism and Liberation, called for divestment from Israeli entities and an end to Middle East conflicts. KSU's Hillel group observed the day with a moment of silence and distributed pins for hostages' return. Concerns about anti-Israel rhetoric were noted by Jewish students. The protest highlighted the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with over 41,000 Palestinians reported killed. Campus officials confirmed all groups had permission to protest.
