Logging Off: Inside Australia's Landmark Social Media BanAustralia has become the first country to ban children under sixteen from social media, forcing platforms to block millions of young users overnight.

Hometown Radio 11/14/25 3p: Pet of the Week from county Animal Services

Nicole moved to Beaconsfield in 2023 seeking a quieter, community-focused life after Toronto. She's running for mayor to ensure voters have a real choice and to push for a city that's accessible, inclusive, and transparent. Her platform is shaped by lived experience, including navigating the city without a car and advocating for residents who are often overlooked.Accessibility and TransitNicole highlights safety concerns on key arteries and the need for more frequent, connected public transit. She proposes new bus routes along Elm Street and Beaconsfield's north–south corridors to better link neighborhoods and services. She also calls for practical accessibility upgrades at train stations, from simple ramps where feasible to larger infrastructure projects funded with provincial support.Open Government and Real ParticipationCity decision-making should be visible and accessible. Nicole would open currently closed committee meetings to the public and offer hybrid Zoom access using webinar controls to enable safe, interactive participation. She points to Halifax as a proven model and argues that transparency helps residents understand budgets, priorities, and outcomes.Animal Services with HeartBeaconsfield's small pound is underused and invisible to residents. Nicole proposes transforming it into a public-facing hub: a pet food and supply bank, microchip and vaccine clinics supported by donations, and an education room in partnership with the library. She would collaborate with regional and national organizations to promote humane education and coexistence with wildlife.Affordability and Inclusive HousingAffordability is a growing concern across the city. Nicole supports ending “no-pet” clauses locally where possible, encouraging accessible design in any new builds, and creating a registry of accessible and pet-friendly rentals. Rather than large luxury projects, she favors gentle density: legalizing more basement, garage, and attic apartments, and adding mixed-use zoning so upper floors of commercial buildings can become homes.Safer, Smarter Community ResponseMany police calls relate to mental health, not crime. Nicole proposes a civilian, health-led crisis response modeled on Toronto's Community Crisis Service, operated through health agencies and social workers rather than police. She would also restore volunteer search-and-rescue capacity to complement first responders and reduce policing costs tied to non-criminal calls.Neuroinclusion and Local HiringInclusion means more than services—it includes who gets hired. Nicole supports paid roles for neurodivergent residents across city departments and applauds steps toward a neuro-affirming new library. Her goal is a municipal workforce that reflects the full diversity of Beaconsfield.Preserving Green Space and Managing WaterAngel Woods and other natural areas are essential for well-being and wildlife. Nicole supports preserving forests, daylighting culverted streams where feasible, and using “sponge city” strategies—wetlands, marsh and bog gardens, permeable surfaces—to reduce flooding. She encourages residents and the city to adopt nature-based water management on private and public land.Food Security and DignityHealthy food should be accessible. Nicole proposes expanding community gardens and supporting affordable markets in both Beaurepaire and Beaconsfield North. She points to successful dignity-based models that combine donations with choice, allowing families to shop for fresh, nutritious options at subsidized prices.A Five-to-Ten-Year VisionNicole wants a Beaconsfield where people of all ages, abilities, incomes, and backgrounds feel seen and supported. She imagines connected transit, open decision-making, humane animal care, gentle infill housing,...

"Over 80% of the tagged cats didn't need to come into the shelter at all. This simple tool is keeping cats in their communities where they belong." – Dr. Amy Dalrymple This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and The Community Cat Clinic. What if a simple collar could help keep community cats out of shelters and reunite them with their families? In this episode, host Stacy LeBaron chats with Nina Stively, Director of Loudoun County Animal Services, and Dr. Amy Dalrymple, veterinarian and shelter medicine specialist, about the Tag! You're Home! program—a groundbreaking approach to identifying and returning outdoor cats to their rightful homes. With traditional shelter methods resulting in low return-to-owner rates for stray cats, Tag! You're Home! offers a humane and data-driven alternative. Nina explains how her shelter equips found cats with collars bearing a simple question: “Am I your cat?” The results speak for themselves—over 80% of tagged cats never needed shelter intake, and 31% were confirmed to have been reunited with their owners. Dr. Dalrymple discusses the research behind this initiative, the benefits for both shelters and communities and how this concept can be applied beyond municipal programs, including TNR efforts. Tune in to discover how a small intervention is making a huge impact on cat welfare and how you can bring this idea to your community.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for September 24th Publish Date:  September 24th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September 24th and Happy heavenly Birthday to Jim Henson. ***09.24.24 – BIRTHDAY – JIM HENSON*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Marietta to Consider Lifting Pit Bull, Rottweiler Ban Red Cross says Blood Donors Needed Now to Help Combat Critical Need GHC to Add bachelor's in digital media in Fall 2025 All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    BREAK: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) STORY 1:  Marietta to Consider Lifting Pit Bull, Rottweiler Ban The Marietta City Council is considering lifting the ban on pit bulls and Rottweilers in off-leash dog parks. Currently, these breeds are prohibited, unlike in nearby areas where restrictions focus on aggressive behavior rather than specific breeds. Councilmember Cheryl Richardson, a Rottweiler owner, advocates for this change, arguing that aggression is not breed-specific. Some residents, like Corinne Shanahan, agree, noting that issues often arise from owner behavior rather than breed. However, concerns remain about enforcement and safety, with some council members, including Chairman Johnny Walker, opposing the change due to safety concerns. The council will vote on the proposal in an upcoming meeting. STORY 2:     Red Cross: Blood Donors Needed Now to Help Combat Critical Need The American Red Cross is urging blood and platelet donations to stabilize the critical blood supply, especially from type O donors and first-time donors. Only 3% of Americans donate, yet donations are vital for patients needing transfusions. Donors by September 30 receive a $15 e-gift card, and those donating in October can get a $10 Amazon gift card and a chance to win a $5,000 gift card. Numerous local blood drives are scheduled, including at the Cobb Blood Donation Center and various community locations. Visit RedCrossBlood.org for more details and to make an appointment. STORY 3:  GHC to Add Bachelor's in Digital Media in Fall 2025 Georgia Highlands College will introduce a Bachelor of Science in Digital Media and Communication in fall 2025, marking its 10th baccalaureate degree. This program, part of the School of Humanities, is designed to prepare students for careers in the digital media and communication fields, focusing on skills like production, market research, branding, and social media analytics. Graduates can pursue roles in media, public relations, event planning, and more, with opportunities for entrepreneurship. The program offers flexible learning options, including online and hybrid courses, and students can start classes as early as this spring. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Launched in February 2023, the program has already invested over $1.15 million and accepted 750 staff members. In partnership with the University of West Georgia, it is open to full-time, certified district employees. The program aims to enhance educator retention, improve educational quality, and offer higher salary opportunities. The new cohort will begin in January 2025. For more details, visit CobbK12.org. STORY 5:  Cobb Eyes New Roadkill Pickup Program Commissioner Keli Gambrill proposes a new roadkill pickup incentive program for Cobb's Animal Services, allocating $100,000 from her contingency fund. The program would pay animal services employees bonuses for pickups outside regular hours, saving costs compared to contractors. Employees would earn $20 per non-deer and $25 per deer pickup. This initiative aims to improve response times and reduce reliance on less reliable contractors. The program addresses increasing roadkill reports, especially in rural areas like west Cobb. The Cobb County Board of Commissioners will discuss this proposal in their upcoming meeting. We'll be back in a moment    Break: INGLES 9 (Ingles Markets (What To Add To Diets) 9 STORY 6:  14-Year-Old in Custody After South Cobb High Shooting A 14-year-old is in custody for a shooting at South Cobb High School during a community event on Saturday night. The suspect faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault and possession of a firearm. The victim suffered a non-life-threatening injury and is expected to recover. The incident occurred during a football game, though it was not a district-sponsored event. Cobb County School Board member Leroy Tre' Hutchins advocates for enhanced safety measures at all school events. The firearm has been recovered, but details on how the suspect obtained it remain undisclosed. The investigation is ongoing. STORY 7:    Flower Show at North Georgia State Fair The North Georgia State Fair has kicked off with its first annual flower show, featuring over 386 horticultural displays in Building B, alongside Arts & Crafts and Baked Goods competitions. Ribbons for the largest pumpkin and other categories were awarded on September 18. The shows are organized by the Master Gardener Volunteers of Cobb County and the Marietta Garden Council, judged by National Garden Club judges.

Roger was also Commissioner of Animal Services for the city of Los Angeles, where he fought to establish and maintain Los Angeles as a no-kill city and implement a plant-based diet for all shelter dogs.   Tune in to this must-listen episode, where we discuss everything from the inner workings of Washington, to the challenges of writing in Hollywood, to how we can really make a difference as activists!    “You know, over the years, I've become a more spiritual person. I've done a lot more reflection. I've tried to grow as a human being. I've failed at times, and I've succeeded in others. But I do believe that when you eat meat when you participate in that level of hypocrisy and willful ignorance and cruelty, it's damaging to the soul. Profoundly damaging.” – Roger Wolfson   What we discuss in this episode: Roger's upbringing and what inspired him to become vegan. How becoming vegan empowered him to make other positive life choices. Why Roger became such a passionate activist. The challenges of communication in Washington. Why he chose to leave Washington and write for film and television. How Roger learned diplomacy as a writer in Los Angeles. Steps activists can take to become more effective. The key ingredients for a truly great speech.   Resources: Roger's website: Roger Wolfson Instagram: Roger Wolfson (@rogerwolfson) • Instagram photos and videos Animal & Vegan Advocacy Summit: AVA Summit 2023: Los Angeles, CA   Click the link below and support the ADD SOY Act! https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ Send us a voice message and ask a question.
