STORY 1:2 Indicted for Having Rifle on McEachern High Campus

A Cobb grand jury has indicted Brendan Andino, 18, and Ruben Cumberlander, 18, for bringing a rifle onto McEachern High School's campus in December 2023. Both face charges for carrying weapons on school property, disrupting school, and loitering. Cumberlander is also linked to a recent fight in Powder Springs that resulted in a death, though no indictments have been made in that case yet. The school district responded swiftly to the incident, ensuring campus safety. Both were found with marijuana during their arrests. Cumberlander has been released on bond, while Andino remains in jail.

STORY 2:Marietta Business Asks City to Loosen Alcohol Pouring Limits

The Marietta Wine Market owners, Karen and Randall Heard, are struggling with city regulations that restrict their ability to charge for and offer wine tastings. At a May 8 city council meeting, Karen Heard emotionally appealed for a retail pouring license to allow customers to enjoy wine without strict limitations. This plea has led the council to consider changing local alcohol laws. A change.org petition supporting this change has garnered significant support. The council will discuss revising these laws, aiming to balance business needs with regulatory concerns, at upcoming meetings.

STORY 3:Marietta Remembers Fallen Service Members on Memorial Day

The Marietta Memorial Day ceremony honored fallen U.S. Armed Forces members at Marietta National Cemetery, with clear weather after storms. Attendees, including local officials and veterans' families, participated in traditions and speeches. The Marietta High School Air Force JROTC presented the colors and assisted with the wreath-laying. Commissioner JoAnn Birrell reflected on the significance of Memorial Day, mentioning her WWII veteran father and local hero Lance Cpl. Squire "Skip" Wells. Retired Col. Carl "Skip" Bell paid tribute to his friend 2nd Lt. Earle John Bemis, who died heroically in Vietnam. The ceremony emphasized remembrance and honor for those who sacrificed their lives for the nation.

STORY 4:'An Honor': Harrison Senior Appointed to Naval Academy

Noah Praser, a senior at Harrison High School, received a call from Rep. Barry Loudermilk in January informing him of his appointment to the United States Naval Academy. Praser, inspired by a middle school visit to the academy, rose through the ranks of the JROTC, ultimately serving as its executive officer. He maintained a 4.3 GPA and earned the Joseph C. Gilliam Academic Achievement Award. Praser's JROTC instructor praised his leadership and problem-solving skills. Praser aims to become a Navy pilot despite challenges with his eyesight, and he is ready to face the rigorous demands of the academy to better himself.

STORY 5:Cobb Solicitor Focused on Youth Support and Accountability Courts

Cobb Solicitor General Makia Metzger has implemented significant changes since taking office in January 2023. Her efforts include filling staffing gaps, resolving old bench warrants, and introducing a program for youthful offenders. Metzger's office, which handles misdemeanors and traffic citations, faces funding challenges that impact hiring quality attorneys. She emphasizes continuous training and progressive prosecution. Metzger is also expanding accountability courts to address mental health issues among nonviolent offenders. As Cobb's first Black and female Solicitor General, Metzger aims for transparency and community support, particularly for domestic violence victims.

STORY 6:Self-Driving Shuttle Resumes in Cumberland

The Cumberland Hopper, a self-driving shuttle in Cumberland, will continue operating through December after resuming service last Friday. The shuttle, which had 4,450 riders during its first phase from July 2023 to March 2024, runs on two routes: one across the pedestrian bridge connecting Cobb Galleria Centre to the Battery Atlanta, and another looping around the Galleria office park. The program aims to expand with eight to ten shuttles along the Cumberland Sweep corridor. Additionally, the CID is planning a $195,000 communications campaign for the Paces Mill Palisades rehabilitation, a $11.8 million project funded partly by Congress.

STORY 7:Smyrna Honors Fallen Soldiers On Memorial Day

The annual Memorial Day ceremony in Smyrna was moved indoors to the Smyrna Community Center due to rain. Hosted by American Legion Post 160, veterans, families, and residents gathered to honor fallen heroes. Keynote speaker Joel DeSaulniers, an Air Force veteran, emphasized the solemn nature of Memorial Day and urged attendees to remember and honor the sacrifices of fallen service members. The ceremony included the POW/MIA Missing Man Table, a tribute to the Normandy landings, and a wreath ceremony recognizing Cobb County residents who died in various wars. Former Smyrna Councilman Wade Lnenicka highlighted the strong local support for veterans.

Feds putting up $75M for semiconductor chips plant in Georgia

The Biden administration announced a $75 million commitment to a semiconductor component manufacturing plant in Covington, Georgia. This project, led by Absolics, a subsidiary of South Korea's SK Group, aims to create over 1,200 jobs in manufacturing and construction.

The funding, sourced from the CHIPS and Science Act passed by Congress, is a key part of President Biden’s initiative to rejuvenate American manufacturing.

U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff highlighted the importance of developing a domestic semiconductor industry to reduce reliance on China, emphasizing its significance for U.S. national security. "Georgia should lead the nation and America should lead the world in advanced semiconductor manufacturing," he stated.

The 120,000-square-foot facility in Covington will produce glass substrates, improving the performance of advanced chips by enabling more compact and efficient connections, thereby enhancing computing speed and energy efficiency.

East Cobb Whataburger Zoning Case Delayed Until June

Whataburger is set to return to the Cobb Board of Commissioners next month to seek approval for its new east Cobb restaurant. The San Antonio-based fast food chain had requested a delay in its hearing before Tuesday’s zoning meeting. According to County Zoning Manager John Pederson, Whataburger is still collaborating with local residents on the proposed building’s design.

The plan involves constructing a new 7,000-square-foot facility at 3550 Sandy Plains Road, within a shopping center anchored by Target, replacing a now-closed O’Charley’s. However, this proposal challenges existing restrictions from a 1999 settlement that bans fast-food restaurants and drive-thru services at that location. 

Whataburger’s site plan includes a two-lane drive-thru, which is a key point of contention. Notably, the chain is not seeking a rezoning, as the property already allows for restaurant use. Instead, they need approval for their specific site plan modifications. 

Currently, there are other Whataburger locations in Cobb, including two in Kennesaw, with another recently approved in Acworth
