Distinguished Flying Cross Awarded to Cobb Air Force Major

Maj. Adam Haas, a flight nurse with the 94th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with a Combat Device for his bravery during the Afghanistan evacuation in 2021. The award ceremony took place at Dobbins Air Reserve Base before over 200 airmen and airwomen, with Maj. Gen. Melissa Coburn presenting the medal. The Combat Device signifies actions under combat conditions, making Haas’ dual recognition exceptionally rare.

During the mission, Haas and his team provided medical aid to victims of a suicide bombing at Kabul International Airport. The attack killed 107 Afghans and 13 U.S. service members amid the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. Entering unsecured, hostile areas, Haas directed the largest aeromedical evacuation in Kabul Coalition Hospital’s history, ensuring the safety of his team and patients. Reflecting on the mission, Haas humbly credited his team and said his focus remained on helping those in need.

Distinguished Flying Cross Awarded to Cobb Air Force Major

From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Wednesday, December 11th and I'm Keith Ippolito.

Cobb to Raise Water, Sewer Rates

Cobb County will increase water and sewer rates annually for the next five years, following a 4-1 commission vote, with JoAnn Birrell dissenting. The average residential customer, using 5,000 gallons monthly, will see a $1.90 increase next year. Rate hikes start April 1, 2025, and continue each January through 2029, to cover rising costs and major wastewater projects. Chairwoman Lisa Cupid described the move as proactive, preventing larger future hikes. Historically, the county has adjusted water rates and revenue transfers to the general fund, with a plan to reduce the transfer rate from 10% to 5%. Last year, 6% of water revenues were transferred, and rates rose 7.5%. This year, the transfer is 5%. Birrell criticized the practice of transferring funds while raising rates, arguing against increases when funds are diverted to the general fund.

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

STORY 1: Teen Mother Indicted for Murder of Newborn

A 17-year-old mother, Leticia Rodriguez, has been indicted in Cobb County on seven charges, including malice murder, felony murder, and child cruelty, following the death of her newborn. Police discovered Rodriguez digging a grave in a Marietta backyard, where they later found her deceased son wrapped in a plastic bag. Authorities stated Rodriguez gave birth alone six hours prior, and her uncle alerted police after witnessing her actions. The newborn’s body was reportedly mutilated. Rodriguez now faces charges of aggravated assault, abuse of a dead body, and concealing the death, alongside the murder counts.

STORY 2:    Marietta Eyes Improvements to West Dixie Park

The Marietta City Council committee has tentatively approved final funding for the $1.2 million West Dixie Park improvement project. The upgrades will include a new playground, restroom, looped walking trail, pavilion improvements, stormwater infrastructure, ADA-accessible sidewalks, landscaping, and ornamental fencing. Funding comes from sources like a $500,000 state grant, 2009 Parks Bond, ARPA funds, and SPLOST, with a final $225,275 expected from park improvement sales tax funds. The project design advances to the Dec. 11 City Council meeting, with construction anticipated between March and May 2025.

STORY 3: Distinguished Flying Cross Awarded to Cobb Air Force Major

Maj. Adam Haas, a flight nurse with the 94th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with a Combat Device for heroic actions during the 2021 Afghanistan evacuation. Tasked with providing medical aid after a suicide bombing at Kabul Airport, Haas led his team through unsafe conditions to assist U.S. service members and Afghan citizens. His actions contributed to the largest aeromedical evacuation airlift in Kabul Coalition Hospital's history. The prestigious medal, rarely awarded, reflects Haas’s bravery and dedication under combat conditions.

STORY 4: Former Police Officer Pleads Guilty to Killing Marietta Motorist

Former Woodstock Police officer Grant Shaw pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the 2023 shooting of 20-year-old Emmanuel Malik Millard. The incident occurred after Millard led police on a pursuit, ending with a PIT maneuver and Shaw firing a fatal shot during Millard's removal from the vehicle. Though prosecutors sought a 10-year sentence with two years in prison, the court suspended the term, sentencing Shaw to 500 hours of community service. Shaw resigned from the department shortly after the shooting.

STORY 5: Cobb Police Release Footage of Pet Dog Shooting

The Cobb County Police Department has released 911 calls and body camera footage from an Oct. 2 incident where officers fatally shot a family’s dog, Zeta, while responding to a 911 call. Police Chief Stuart VanHoozer described the situation as “tense and unpleasant,” expressing condolences to the family and emphasizing the difficulty of such decisions for officers. The officers responded to unclear coordinates from the 911 call, leading them to a residence where the dog ran toward them before being shot. The department is conducting an ongoing internal investigation and has not cleared the officers of wrongdoing. The chief stressed the importance of learning from the incident to prevent similar situations in the future.

STORY 6: Commissioners Question Cupid's Spending Requests

Cobb Chairwoman Lisa Cupid has requested to allocate $200,000 from her contingency funds for communications consultants and policy analysts, sparking debate among board members. Cupid’s plan divides the funds into $100,000 for professional services, $25,000 for office activities, and $75,000 for programs and events. While the board approved a similar request last year, contracts were not finalized before the fiscal year ended. Republican Commissioner JoAnn Birrell and Democrat Monique Sheffield voiced concerns, with Birrell suggesting the funds should support special projects instead of consultants. Cupid defended the proposal, emphasizing its importance for improving policy vetting and community communication. The board will vote on the request at today’s meeting.

STORY 7: Bomb Threat At Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Home Leads to Fatal Wreck

A Rome police officer was involved in a fatal car crash while responding to a bomb threat at U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s home. An email claimed a pipe bomb was in Greene’s mailbox, leading local police to dispatch the Floyd County Bomb Squad. On the way, an officer driving his personal vehicle collided with a Mazda Protege, killing 66-year-old Tammie Pickelsimer. The officer sustained minor injuries. The bomb threat, traced to a Russian IP address, follows multiple previous threats made against Greene. Local and federal authorities, including the FBI, are investigating.

Teen Mother Indicted for Murder of Newborn

From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Friday, December 6th and I'm Keith Ippolito.

Cobb School Board GOP Majority Rejects Call for Gun Safety, School Meal Programs

In a recent Cobb School Board meeting, Democrat Becky Sayler proposed several amendments to the 2025 legislative priority list, focusing on school meal programs, gun laws, and increased counselor allotments. Despite support from fellow Democrat Leroy Tre' Hutchins, all motions failed. Only the proposal for more school counselors received cross-party support from Republican Brad Wheeler, but it was defeated in a 3-3 tie due to Democrat Nichelle Davis's absence. Sayler emphasized the importance of giving board members the opportunity to vote on these issues. Republican Board Chair Randy Scamihorn opposed the amendments, citing trust in district staff to prioritize necessary legislative actions and concern over lengthy priority lists being ignored by state legislators. Ultimately, the board unanimously approved a legislative priority list centered on financial sustainability, educational access, and safety and stability.
