BREAK: CU of GA

STORY 1:Saint Joseph Catholic Church Breaks Ground on New Rectory 

Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Marietta held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new rectory, replacing its historic but damaged former building. The original rectory, dating back to the mid-19th century, was demolished due to mold, asbestos, and water damage from burst pipes in 2022. Construction on the new rectory is set to begin July 1, expected to finish by summer 2025 at an estimated cost of $1.2 million. Funded by a $6 million capital campaign, the project will also add parking spaces and a soccer field. The new rectory will accommodate four priests with modern amenities and enhanced privacy, aiming to support the church's vibrant community.

STORY 2:Red Roof Inns Settles Sex Trafficking Lawsuit Involving Smyrna Location 

Red Roof Inns has reached a confidential settlement with eleven plaintiffs who alleged they were sex trafficked at its hotels in Smyrna and Atlanta. The federal lawsuit, which began trial on June 11, accused Red Roof of profiting from sex trafficking by turning a blind eye to activities at their properties. The hotel chain denied wrongdoing but settled after plaintiffs testified and the defense began presenting its case. This marked the first sex trafficking lawsuit against a national hotel brand to go to trial. Plaintiffs' attorneys emphasized the importance of their clients' stories being heard and raising awareness about sex trafficking.

STORY 3:Cobb Elections Explores Charging for Voter Challenges 

The Cobb Board of Elections discussed potentially charging individuals who challenge voters' eligibility, following a contentious meeting where thousands of voter registrations were challenged by a resident. Eugene Williams challenged 2,472 registrations, prompting debate among board members. They decided, in a 4-1 vote along party lines, to only consider challenges to active voters going forward, reducing the workload on elections staff. The possibility of charging challengers like Williams for the cost of notifications was debated, with varying opinions among board members and legal perspectives shared. This issue arises amidst broader changes in Georgia election law under Senate Bill 189, which facilitates mass voter challenges and faces legal challenges from organizations like the ACLU.

STORY 4:Cobb Approves Moratorium on Massage Parlor Licenses 

The Cobb Board of Commissioners has enacted a six-month moratorium on issuing licenses to massage parlors, or health spas, in response to rising concerns over illegal activities and code violations. This decision follows the denial of a license renewal for Wang’s Feet due to a reported sexual assault and other violations. Cobb officials aim to strengthen regulations and enforcement before resuming licensing, citing ongoing challenges with illicit spa operations. Similar measures have been taken in nearby cities like Roswell to address issues such as human trafficking. Additionally, the commission approved funding for various projects including library furniture, a parks maintenance building, an emergency generator for the medical examiner lab, and road improvements.

From the BG Ad Group Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Wednesday, June 26th, and I'm Keith Ippolito.

Marietta Advances 90-Home Development

The City Council committee has advanced a site plan for the second phase of a 90-home project called The Village at Sandy Plains, with a unanimous 3-0 vote.

This development, spearheaded by David Pearson Communities, spans 15 acres near Kincaid Elementary. The first phase, already approved in April, includes 41 homes. The second phase will complete the project with 49 more homes.

Council member Cheryl Richardson has emphasized concerns about driveway lengths and parking access. The developer has assured that only 27 homes will have driveways shorter than 20 feet and will specify their locations.

In terms of environmental considerations, the developer plans to retain existing evergreen trees and will plant additional canopy trees. They have also committed to contributing to the city’s tree fund.

The Council’s final vote on July 10 will hopefully bring more clarity and collaboration between the developer and the council.

BREAK: CU of GA

STORY 1:Cobb to Consider Pause on Licensing Health Spas

Cobb County officials are proposing a six-month moratorium on licensing health spas due to concerns over code violations, prostitution, and human trafficking activities reported at local massage parlors. The county's Community Development Department has highlighted evasion of law enforcement by illicit spa establishments as a significant issue. The moratorium aims to halt new licenses while regulations are tightened to address these issues. Recent incidents, such as a sexual assault allegation at a massage parlor, have underscored the need for stricter oversight. Similar measures have been implemented in neighboring cities like Roswell to combat human trafficking. The county hopes to finalize new regulations by November to better manage this industry.

STORY 2:Cobb Elections Board Finalizes Runoff Results 

The Cobb Board of Elections unanimously certified results from the June 18 runoff, confirming turnout of 2.49% with 5,750 votes cast out of 231,011 eligible voters across two races. Dr. Jaha Howard won the Democratic runoff for Cobb Board of Commissioners District 2 with 73.07% of the vote, advancing to face Republican Pamela Reardon in November. In the Democratic runoff for Congressional District 14, retired U.S. Army Brigadier Gen. Shawn Harris secured 69% of the vote, setting up a general election contest against incumbent U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

STORY 3:Man Convicted for Cold Case Murder of Father Shot for $50 

Dontavian Jones, 22, has been found guilty for the 2016 murder of Dewenzell Spence, 41, in Cobb County. This marks the second conviction in Spence's case, with Terrance Marshall previously sentenced to life without parole. Spence was abducted at gunpoint in Atlanta, forced to withdraw money, then fatally shot in Mableton. His body was discovered in a heavily decomposed state days later. Surveillance footage and facial recognition identified the perpetrators. Senior Assistant District Attorney Stephanie Green described the crime as horrifying and expressed hope for justice in sentencing. Jones faces sentencing on July 15.

STORY 4:Kennesaw Resident Carly Vogel Wins Miss Tennessee Title  

Carley Vogel, 23, from Kennesaw, was crowned Miss Tennessee 2024 at the East Tennessee State University Martin Center in Johnson City. She earned a $17,500 scholarship and will represent Tennessee at the Miss America Competition in January 2024 in Orlando, Florida. Vogel, a student at Middle Tennessee State University, impressed judges with her vocal performance of “Climb Every Mountain” from "The Sound of Music." Previously Miss Cobb County, she placed third runner-up in Miss Georgia 2022. Vogel joins Miss Georgia 2024 Lulu Louizaire in vying for the Miss America title. The Miss Cobb County pageant, promoting scholarship and community service, will take place on August 3 at the Jennie T. Anderson Theater, offering over $20,000 in scholarships and prizes.

STORY 5:Could AI dramatically improve how quickly we diagnose cancer?

British scientists have developed a prototype using machine learning to diagnose cancer with over 98% accuracy, identifying 13 types including breast, liver, lung, and prostate cancer. The technology analyzes DNA methylation patterns, which can indicate cancerous changes early on. These patterns, caused by environmental factors altering DNA bases, are crucial for distinguishing cancerous tissue from healthy samples. Published in Biology Methods & Protocols, the study's AI model is trained to interpret these patterns, potentially revolutionizing early cancer detection. Researchers emphasize the need for further diverse biopsy testing to refine the model for clinical use, aiming to enhance patient outcomes by enabling earlier treatment interventions.

STORY 6:Two Injured in Motorcycle Wreck Near KSU

Two people were seriously injured in a motorcycle crash near Kennesaw State University. The motorcycle, driven by an unidentified man and carrying 18-year-old Helen Mastranni of Canton, was traveling east on Chastain Road. A Lexus driven by 22-year-old Sierra Lee from Louisiana, traveling west, turned left onto Barrett Lakes Boulevard with a green arrow, colliding with the motorcycle that had entered the intersection on a red turn signal. The impact separated the riders from the bike. Both were hospitalized with serious injuries at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. Lee also sought medical attention for injuries. The crash is under investigation, and Cobb Police are seeking information from witnesses at 770-499-3987.

STORY 7:Police: Smyrna Man Fatally Shot Female Roommate

George Perry, 40, of Smyrna, has been arrested and charged with murder after fatally shooting his roommate, Davon McDaniel, early Friday morning. Perry called 911 himself to report the shooting at their apartment on Cumberland Glen Lane. He indicated he shot McDaniel in the chest but did not provide a reason and did not appear fearful during the call. Police found McDaniel suffering from a gunshot wound and attempted aid but he was pronounced dead at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. Perry, who showed no injuries, was arrested and refused to speak without a lawyer present. He faces charges including possession of a firearm during a crime and is held without bond at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.

STORY 1: Cobb to Consider Pause on Licensing Health Spas
Cobb County officials are proposing a six-month moratorium on licensing health spas due to concerns over code violations, prostitution, and human trafficking activities reported at local massage parlors. The county's Community Development Department has highlighted evasion of law enforcement by illicit spa establishments as a significant issue. The moratorium aims to halt new licenses while regulations are tightened to address these issues. Recent incidents, such as a sexual assault allegation at a massage parlor, have underscored the need for stricter oversight. Similar measures have been implemented in neighboring cities like Roswell to combat human trafficking. The county hopes to finalize new regulations by November to better manage this industry.
STORY 2: Cobb Elections Board Finalizes Runoff Results 
The Cobb Board of Elections unanimously certified results from the June 18 runoff, confirming turnout of 2.49% with 5,750 votes cast out of 231,011 eligible voters across two races. Dr. Jaha Howard won the Democratic runoff for Cobb Board of Commissioners District 2 with 73.07% of the vote, advancing to face Republican Pamela Reardon in November. In the Democratic runoff for Congressional District 14, retired U.S. Army Brigadier Gen. Shawn Harris secured 69% of the vote, setting up a general election contest against incumbent U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
STORY 3: Man Convicted for Cold Case Murder of Father Shot for $50 
Dontavian Jones, 22, has been found guilty for the 2016 murder of Dewenzell Spence, 41, in Cobb County. This marks the second conviction in Spence's case, with Terrance Marshall previously sentenced to life without parole. Spence was abducted at gunpoint in Atlanta, forced to withdraw money, then fatally shot in Mableton. His body was discovered in a heavily decomposed state days later. Surveillance footage and facial recognition identified the perpetrators. Senior Assistant District Attorney Stephanie Green described the crime as horrifying and expressed hope for justice in sentencing. Jones faces sentencing on July 15.

STORY 4: Kennesaw Resident Carly Vogel Wins Miss Tennessee Title  
Carley Vogel, 23, from Kennesaw, was crowned Miss Tennessee 2024 at the East Tennessee State University Martin Center in Johnson City. She earned a $17,500 scholarship and will represent Tennessee at the Miss America Competition in January 2024 in Orlando, Florida. Vogel, a student at Middle Tennessee State University, impressed judges with her vocal performance of “Climb Every Mountain” from "The Sound of Music." Previously Miss Cobb County, she placed third runner-up in Miss Georgia 2022. Vogel joins Miss Georgia 2024 Lulu Louizaire in vying for the Miss America title. The Miss Cobb County pageant, promoting scholarship and community service, will take place on August 3 at the Jennie T. Anderson Theater, offering over $20,000 in scholarships and prizes.
STORY 5: Could AI dramatically improve how quickly we diagnose cancer?
British scientists have developed a prototype using machine learning to diagnose cancer with over 98% accuracy, identifying 13 types including breast, liver, lung, and prostate cancer. The technology analyzes DNA methylation patterns, which can indicate cancerous changes early on. These patterns, caused by environmental factors altering DNA bases, are crucial for distinguishing cancerous tissue from healthy samples. Published in Biology Methods &amp; Protocols, the study's AI model is trained to interpret these patterns, potentially revolutionizing early cancer detection. Researchers emphasize the need for further diverse biopsy testing to refine the model for clinical use, aiming to enhance patient outcomes by enabling earlier treatment interventions.

STORY 6: Two Injured in Motorcycle Wreck Near KSU
Two people were seriously injured in a motorcycle crash near Kennesaw State University. The motorcycle, driven by an unidentified man and carrying 18-year-old Helen Mastranni of Canton, was traveling east on Chastain Road. A Lexus driven by 22-year-old Sierra Lee from Louisiana, traveling west, turned left onto Barrett Lakes Boulevard with a green arrow, colliding with the motorcycle that had entered the intersection on a red turn signal. The impact separated the riders from the bike. Both were hospitalized with serious injuries at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. Lee also sought medical attention for injuries. The crash is under investigation, and Cobb Police are seeking information from witnesses at 770-499-3987.
STORY 7: Police: Smyrna Man Fatally Shot Female Roommate
George Perry, 40, of Smyrna, has been arrested and charged with murder after fatally shooting his roommate, Davon McDaniel, early Friday morning. Perry called 911 himself to report the shooting at their apartment on Cumberland Glen Lane. He indicated he shot McDaniel in the chest but did not provide a reason and did not appear fearful during the call. Police found McDaniel suffering from a gunshot wound and attempted aid but he was pronounced dead at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. Perry, who showed no injuries, was arrested and refused to speak without a lawyer present. He faces charges including possession of a firearm during a crime and is held without bond at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.
