Show Notes

Join us in this episode of the Paulding County News Podcast with your hosts, Melissa Carter and Doug Harding. We discuss a controversial incident where a woman was arrested for shooting her neighbor's cat - was her action justified or not? We're eager to hear your thoughts.

In our education segment, we debate whether teachers are more motivated by their salaries or the impact they can make on their students. This is a conversation you won't want to miss.

But first, let's dive into the top local stories. We cover the traffic disruption on Wendy Bagwell Pkwy due to an 18-wheeler severing a power line, and the eventual reopening of all lanes. We also honor Corp. Nico Bartlett of the Hiram PD, who was recently named Hero of the Year by the Jess Rousey Honoring Heroes Foundation.

Next, we congratulate the graduates of the Georgia State Patrol's 115th Trooper School, particularly our very own Paulding native, Austin Scott. Plus, we delve into a chilling story about NFL fans suffering severe frostbite at a Chiefs game in Kansas City.

In our sports update, we celebrate the North Paulding Lady Pack’s achievement as State Runners Up in basketball, and the ranking of North Paulding's baseball and lacrosse teams. We also discuss Kirk Cousins' massive new contract with the Atlanta Falcons.

Lastly, we commend the North Paulding High School Army JROTC Leadership team for securing a spot in the Championship event in Washington, D.C.
