Ike Reighard, senior pastor of Piedmont Church and CEO of MUST Ministries, was named the Marietta Citizen of the Year Thursday by the Cobb Chamber of Commerce.
Reighard was surprised with the honor at the chamber’s Marietta council luncheon following Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin’s State of the City address.
For the Marietta flag football team, it follows a simple premise. If the other team doesn't score, it can't win.
That was the case again Thursday night when the Blue Devils defeated North Gwinnett 13-0 in the quarterfinals of the Class 7A state playoffs.
With the win, Marietta moves on to play Blessed Trinity in a rematch of last year's state semifinals, a game the Blue Devils won 26-0.
Plans for a controversial west Cobb development have been scrapped again after heated debate over the project for most of this year.
Developer Pulte Homes withdrew its rezoning request for 61 homes on Midway Road near Lost Mountain Park, according to Cobb Commissioner Keli Gambrill, who represents the area.
Because the proposal was taken off the agenda at least a week before the next Cobb Planning Commission hearing on Dec. 6, it is considered withdrawn without prejudice. That means Pulte can return to the county’s zoning division with a new plan at any time.
A Smyrna man was arrested Saturday evening, accused by police of causing a crash at South Cobb Parkway and Spinks Drive that left another man seriously injured.
Selvin De Jesus Herrera-Lopez, 31, is charged with seven misdemeanors, including DUI, open container and reckless driving, according to jail records. Marietta police say his 2021 Toyota Tacoma struck the rear of 62-year-old Christopher Okabah’s Toyota Camry around 6:50 p.m. Saturday.
