STORY 1 indicted

 

 Joshua Emmanuel Nash, a man from Ohio, has been indicted for murder in Cobb County. He is accused of fatally shooting 23-year-old Dacari Early at an apartment complex in March.

Story 2: 95 units

 

A developer is seeking approval from the Smyrna City Council to expand a previously approved apartment complex by adding 95 units. The Creekside Towers development, located off South Cobb Drive, plans to increase the unit count from 200 to 295. While the building's height would remain the same, the space for amenities would be reduced, and additional underground parking would be included. The city planning staff and planning commission have recommended approval of the application. If approved, construction is set to begin in winter, and the tower would consist of various unit types. The developer has also pledged to reserve four units at reduced rates for city first responders.

 

 

Story 3: council

 

The City Council is set to vote on appointing Kathy Young to represent Ward 7 for the remainder of 2023. The vacancy in Ward 7 was created when Lewis Wheaton resigned after moving out of his ward. Mayor Derek Norton and council members have expressed support for Young's appointment. Young, a part-time college and career adviser at Campbell High School, has a background in economic development and civic involvement. The city charter mandates the filling of the vacancy, and the process for a special election was discussed but deemed impractical. Young's appointment will be determined in the upcoming council meeting.

STORY 4: seniors

 

The nonprofit Senior Citizen Council of Cobb County organized the Free Resources for Seniors Expo at the Acworth Community Center. The event aimed to connect seniors with no-cost or low-cost services to enhance their lives. Booths provided information on various topics such as hearing impairment, mental health services, power bill discounts, Medicaid/Medicare fraud, home sharing, and senior independent living homes. The expo allowed seniors to ask questions and gather valuable information from professionals without being solicited. The Senior Citizen Council of Cobb County serves as an advocacy group for seniors in Cobb County, collaborating with the county government and providing programs and events.

 

 

 

STORY 5: mccoy

 

County Administrator Michael McCoy was reportedly fired by four members of the Dougherty County Commission due to allegations of population loss and failure to attract major manufacturers to the county. However, many skeptical individuals believe there are deeper reasons for McCoy's dismissal. McCoy had previously demonstrated exceptional performance as manager of the county's landfill and had gained respect from state officials and county employees. However, an incident in 2018 involving County Commissioner John Hayes and McCoy during an educational field trip resulted in controversy. McCoy filed a lawsuit against the county, claiming a hostile work environment, which was settled out of court. Other incidents involving the commissioners' actions and expenses have also emerged. These incidents have led to speculation about the true reasons behind McCoy's dismissal.

Attorney General Chris Carr's office has asked for an explanation from the County Attorney, and is looking closer at this case.

 

Story 6: cannabis

 

Trulieve Cannabis Corp., a medical cannabis dispensary, has introduced fast-acting nasal spray products to its lineup. The nasal spray allows for quick absorption of low-THC cannabis into the bloodstream, making it beneficial for patients with epilepsy and severe Parkinson's disease. Trulieve offers different types of the nasal spray using indica and sativa cannabis subspecies, each producing different effects. The spray comes in various sizes and prices, ranging from $35 to $120. Trulieve's Marietta location has seen steady business since opening, with customers expressing relief from using their products. Trulieve plans to open more dispensaries in Georgia and offers online ordering with in-store pickup.
