In Episode 47 of The Steak Lad Experience, I sat down with Ben Fletcher. A few years ago I was at an event and by chance ended up having a brief encounter with Ben. It was during this conversation that I learnt about his incredible story and years later it was impactful enough for me to invite him on the show. For context (I won't give away too much) a few years ago Ben was on a camping trip and was involved in a horrific car accident which almost took his life. It goes without saying that the lessons from this event influenced me deeply and I have no doubt anyone who listens will feel the same. Expect to take out of this discussion the eye opening series of events that led to the accident, the psychological impact it had on Ben/how he dealt with it, the importance of understanding death, how a traumatic event changes your view on the world and much much more.

Before last Friday, to know about the 1938 crab pickers strike in Crisfield, Maryland, you had to know about it. This is the story of so many worker struggles in this country; hard-fought fights that unlike other battles – the Civil War, for example – have virtually no monuments or plaques, no visitor centers. But now, on Crisfield Highway, Maryland Route 413, there's an official state historical marker that commemorates the 1938 strike by 600 crab pickers, mostly Black women. On today's show we bring you an audio postcard from the marker's unveiling. Next Saturday, May 18, there will be another unveiling, this one in Philadelphia, of a new mural celebrating Ben Fletcher, one of the most influential working-class unionists, revolutionaries, and organizers in all of U.S. history. We talk with historian Peter Cole, author of Ben Fletcher: The Life and Times of a Black Wobbly, whose work inspired the mural.

An 18-year-old driver in Marietta collided with a motorcyclist in Alpharetta on Wednesday. The driver attempted to make a left turn onto Cobb Parkway and entered the path of the 28-year-old motorcyclist. The collision resulted in the motorcyclist being ejected from the bike and sustaining life-threatening injuries. The victim remains in critical condition at Kennestone Hospital, and witnesses are urged to contact the police department with any information. Marietta Superintendent Grant Rivera said that parents are increasingly concerned about school safety, especially after Monday's school shooting in Nashville. The school district has already implemented some safety measures, such as card readers and vestibules, but is considering other options, such as bullet-resistant glass and an open-door monitoring system. The district also works closely with the Marietta Police Department, which currently provides four officers stationed at Marietta High School and two officers stationed at Marietta Middle School, among other collaborations. The district partners with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency to conduct threat assessments and creates a nurturing, welcoming environment while prioritizing safety. Several ministers from downtown Marietta churches will be hosting a week-long Holy Week series of worship services at First Presbyterian Church. The services will be held from 11:50 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and will be followed by a free soup and sandwich lunch. Rev. Joe Evans, Senior Pastor at First Presbyterian, invites people to attend and share their love for Jesus Christ during this Holy Week. The schedule for the services is as follows: Rev. Blair Tolbert on April 3, Rev. Brandon Owen on April 4, Rev. Eric Beckham on April 5, Rev. Dr. Tar-u-Way Richard Bright on April 6, and Angela Z. Brown on April 7. For more information, visit www.fpcmarietta.org. Amir Abdur-Rahim, who previously improved Kennesaw State's men's basketball program, has been appointed as the new head coach at South Florida. He replaces Brian Gregory, who was dismissed after six seasons with the university. Abdur-Rahim is a successful recruiter, builder, and winner who creates unparalleled student-athlete experiences. Although Abdur-Rahim's departure is bittersweet for Kennesaw State, the university is optimistic about continuing its upward trajectory. It has already received numerous inquiries from potential candidates for the head coach role. Kennesaw State's associate head coach, Ben Fletcher, will serve as the interim coach during the search. Abdur-Rahim's base salary was $230,000 in 2022. The Lutzie 43 Foundation hosted its first Adapted PE Field Day event at Kennesaw Mountain High School for Cobb County elementary students with disabilities. The foundation provides a range of activities to ensure that every child can participate regardless of their needs, such as sensory and mobility issues. The foundation's motto, "Live like Lutz, Love like Lutz, and Learn from Lutz," inspires change and encourages safe driving. The foundation covers all expenses, including transportation, so that schools don't have to incur any costs. Students from all 68 Cobb County elementary schools will attend one of the three events this year. Volunteers from high schools help run the events, and the kids have fun playing basketball, cornhole, and other activities. A 28-year-old man, Willie Elbert Kidd Jr., has been sentenced to 85 years in prison by a Cobb Superior Court judge for assaulting four women at a staffing agency's office in Marietta. Kidd assaulted the women, including stabbing one with a knife and severely damaging the office, in June 2022. He was found guilty by a Cobb County jury on four counts of aggravated assault, one count of false imprisonment, one count of possession of a knife during the commission of a felony, and one count of second-degree criminal damage to property. Kidd was also re-sentenced to 20 years for a probation violation. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews - - - - - The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.

This week I had the pleasure to speak with Alicja Konieczek. She is a Polish runner based in Albuquerque and working with Jackrabbit Race Management. She is an Olympian, finishing 20th in her specialty, the 3000m Steeplechase, at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. She is also an On sponsored athlete. Alicja talks about getting started in running in Poland and that she hated it at first, but found some success. She talks about running with her siblings and even following her brother to Western Colorado University. We talk about her journey to Albuquerque and joining the On Athletics Club. She also talks about leaving the team, coming back to Albuquerque and working with Jackrabbit Race Management. She is helping to create and promote races, including the Albuquerque Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day that she is helping to set up. It was fun to hear her talk about finding passions outside of running that she can continue to do after her competitive career is over (though hopefully not for a while). We also talk about how she is now self coached, with Ben Fletcher (previous guest) as a support. She also talks about the European Championships where she finished 4th in the Steeplechase with a time of 9:25.15, in what was the fastest finals in European Championships history. We also talk about the rest of the year and how happy she was to reach the final. She also talks about her next goals and some competition with her sister. Alicja has been on my radar for a while and I was so happy to finally have a chance to talk with her. I hope you enjoy the conversation as well. Cross Country season is already about halfway done. It feels like we are just getting started. There are so many wonderful athletes out there competing and I encourage you to support your local school. It is also the middle of marathon season. I hope everyone is getting in the training they need for the results they want. Stay hydrated, listen to your body, and keep running New Mexico.
