He has three weeks left on the job, and our reporter sat down with him for an exit interview.

Once again, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts talk an anomalous sweep in the Canadian Football League – Just three weeks after an exceptionally rare 4-0 showing by the four East division teams, week 11 saw the visitors sweep the homedogs. RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis can't decide which is more amazing: The visitors sweeping or Os going 4-0 in CFL Pick ‘Em. Or maybe it's the way the West has become the East, not to mention how suddenly the 3rd-place Winnipeg Blue Bombers and 5th-place Edmonton Elks look more like playoff contenders than the BC Lions and Saskatchewan Roughriders. Adding intrigue to the league outside the lines were moves like the Hamilton Tiger-Cats hiring of Chris Jones (!) to the position of defensive coordinator; public appearances by brand new Edmonton *Elks* owner Larry Thompson and the concomitant will-he-won't-he speculation surrounding the brand; and the imminent return of Chad Kelly for the Toronto Argonauts. Otherwise, week 11 of the 2024 season was one of quarterback comebacks: Some quite good, some not so good, some quite amazing but not enough to overcome their own special teams… Plus predictions for CFL Pick ‘Em (Did we mention Os went 4-0 last week? That means you'll be fading this week, most likely…) and certainly something else. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Sweeping it up weekly. The Rouge, White and Blue is part of the Shotgun Sports Network. Watch this episode – and those of other Shotgun shows on YouTube – or listen from wherever you get your podcasts!

If there has ever been a time for leaders to step up and take responsibility in all areas of our society, it is now! In this episode of the "Our Calling" series, Dr. Larry Thompson, the Chair of DCC's Business Department, shares his passion for educating and mentoring students for leadership. As a life-long learner himself, Dr. Thompson's perspective on servant leadership and the need for transformational leadership will be refreshing and encouraging, especially in light of the ever-changing business environment. Sources Referenced in this Podcast:Transformational Leadership and Organizational Culture by Bernard M.

How much training did you get on classroom management before you became a leader or teacher? The answer is probably: not much—and we are seeing the catastrophic results.  Larry Thompson is on a mission to elevate this work, so it stands shoulder to shoulder with all we know about curriculum and instruction. He views poor behavior as a skill deficit that can be improved with strategic coaching.  Thompson touches upon how to listen to what a child is actually saying when they are upset, “spot” them in ways that build their autonomy and agency and ultimately advance high-quality culture in your school.

Let #MarchMadness begin. Kennesaw State will square off in the first round of the NCAA tournament; Wheeler knocked off Cherokee to win the state title; The adult spelling be was a huh success; And an area man had written a book to make sure his parents' experiences in the Holocaust are never forgotten.     Now, it seems real. It had been a full week since Kennesaw State defeated Liberty to win the ASUN Conference tournament title and earned a spot in this year's NCAA Tournament On Sunday, the wait came to an end. The Owls earned the Number 14 seed of the Midwest Region and will face third-seeded Xavier on Friday in Greensboro, North Carolina. Tip-off is set for 12:40 p.m. on TruTV. The winner will advance to play either sixth-seeded Iowa State or the Number 11 seed — the winner of a First Four game between Mississippi State and Pittsburgh. Xavier, which lost to Marquette in the Big East Conference title game, is one of the highest-scoring teams in college basketball, averaging 84.1 points per game, but Kennesaw State coach Amir Abdur-Rahim said he knows exactly what to expect in the matchup. He said Sean Miller's teams are always physical and will guard well. Abdur-Rahim said he has seen Miller's teams up close before. Twice as an assistant at Texas A&M, he coached against Miller's then-Arizona teams in early-season showcase tournaments. In 2016 the Aggies played the Wildcats and fell 67-63. A year later, Texas A&M got a point closer but lost 67-64. While the history with Miller may not have played in Abdur-Rahim's favor, he is still happy about who and where the Owls will be playing as they make their first NCAA Tournament appearance. Greensboro is only 5½ hours from Kennesaw. For fans interested in purchasing tickets can visit the NCAA's official ticketing site at NCAA Tickets dot Com. As the final seconds ticked off the clock in Saturday's Class AAAAAAA state championship game at the Macon Coliseum, Isaiah Collier began to let his emotions out.  The Wheeler point guard dribbled the ball for the last time, fell to his knees and had a quick moment of prayer. Just seconds later, he was swallowed up by his teammates as the Wildcats defeated Cherokee 78-58 for their third state title in four years and the ninth in the program's decorated history. The fact that Collier was still on the floor at the end was a surprise to some, but it was something the Southern California-bound Naismith High School Player of the Year asked his coach for. Collier wanted to honor the memory of Khalil Hardison, a former Wheeler player who drowned last August while swimming in the Chattahoochee River. Hardison was Collier's cousin and the son of Wildcats coach Larry Thompson. Once Collier got back to his feet after the dogpile, he was still emotional. With tears coming down his face, he and Thompson shared a long hug, and then the celebration started in earnest.  In his final game, Collier showed why he is one of the best -- if not the best -- high school players in the country. He finished with 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting and seven assists, and he was key during an 11-3 third-quarter run that helped put the game away. Wheeler finished the season on a 17-game winning streak and without a loss to a team from Georgia. The victory over Cherokee was the Wildcats' 12th in a row in the series and the 21st of the last 22.  The Downtown Marietta Development Authority and the City of Marietta have announced the 2023 Glover Park Concert Series, presented by Marietta Dental Associates.

The smell of beer and popcorn permeated the Strand Theatre as the boisterous crowd settled in for the evening's entertainment. A voice boomed overhead as lights flickered on and off, creating dancing shadow-apparitions on the walls of the Strand's art-deco interior. It was time for the crowd to quiet down so the costume-clad performers could make their introduction. So began the Sixth Annual Adult Spelling Bee, a fundraiser for the Cobb branch of Communities in School, a school dropout prevention and intervention organization that offers resources to students in need. Each team burst out from behind curtains to music blaring and roars from the crowd, running up one aisle and down the other, slapping hands with the audience before jumping on stage to find their seats. By scanning a QR code from the event's program, audience members could participate by donating money throughout the show. People could vote for at least $1 each time to support their favorite group, or they could buy a team back into the contest for $150 if a word was spelled incorrectly. The crowd, as well as the contestants, were fired-up throughout the night. As each team rose from their seats and approached the mic, dancing and singing would inevitably ensue before a spelling attempt was made. Dressed as Disney princesses Snow White, Cinderella and Ariel, the “Once Upon A Time” team — Joy Doss, Bobby Johnson and Matt Giddens — received the most votes as the fan favorite, raising more than $3,000. Team “Bee-g Bang Theory,” comprised of Raymond Goslow, Michael Miller and Andy Tatnall, spelled the final word — incunabulum — correctly and received trophies for winning the big event. In all, over eighty five thousand dollars was raised. Michael Ruskin was on a mission as the last surviving member of his family to write about what his parents endured at the hands of the Nazis. That drive culminated in Ruskin sharing his parents' story of surviving the Holocaust in his book, “The Vow: A Love Story & The Holocaust.” Ruskin spoke about the book Saturday at the Marietta History Center. He told attendees his parents did not talk much about what they experienced when he was growing up. Ruskin did not know the full story until after his parents died. After his father died, he found a bunch of old documents and photos while cleaning out his father's Miami condo. This was the beginning of his journey to tell the story of his late parents, David and Dora Ruskin. Michael Ruskin spoke about how his parents were forced into a Lithuanian ghetto, called a “safe zone,” early in their marriage. They survived horrific conditions in cattle cars as they were shipped into the unknown. His father ended up in Dachau, the first concentration camp built by the Nazis outside of Munich. Ruskin's mother was sent to the Stutthof Concentration Camp in northern Poland with his sister, Rose, who was only 3 years old when she was killed. Somehow, his parents survived. At the end of World War II, David Ruskin was liberated in 1945 by American troops, and Dora Ruskin was liberated the same year by the Russians. The book describes their journey to reunite and move forward. For more information on Ruskin's book, visit The Vow a Love Story dot com. Sitting at the corner of Barrett Parkway and Bells Ferry Road, boarded up and abandoned, the fate of the Robert McAfee House is uncertain. There is a historical marker in front of the house, but the house and land are not protected, according to Trevor Beemon, executive director of Cobb Landmarks and Historical Society. The property is owned by the Medford Family Limited Partnership. The house was constructed for early Cobb County settlers Eliza and Robert McAfee. During the Civil War, according to a historical marker on the front lawn, the house was used by Brigadier General Kenner Garrard as his headquarters shortly after Union forces seized Big Shanty, now known as Kennesaw. The house is located in unincorporated Cobb, and an application to rezone the land it sits on is currently being reviewed by the Cobb Board of Commissioners. A developer is looking to buy the land and build a car wash on the property, Beemon said. The only way to save the house is to relocate it, Beemon said, and using the house as a commercial structure isn't financially viable. In order to help make sure historic properties in Cobb are protected, Beemon urges people to attend Cobb County Board of Commissioners meetings on a regular basis. Historic homes on private property can be tough to save. Director of the Marietta History Center Amy Reed said that there is only so much the historical society can do, but they would love to be able to save this house.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1 Peter 1:3-9 | Sermon preached by Larry Thompson, Travis Elder

Kennesaw's downtown thronged with thousands Saturday afternoon as the city kicked off the holiday season with a parade down Main Street. The procession featured marching bands, twirlers, and floats from local bands, along with Santa Claus himself perched on the bed of a pickup truck. The parade also featured businesses, such as Whataburger, and the local Scout troops. Fred McGriff is finally a Hall of Famer. McGriff was voted in Sunday by the Contemporary Era committee, which was formed by the Hall to consider players who starred since 1980 and were not elected in the annual voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. McGriff, 59, hit 493 home runs during a 19-year controversy-free career that included 13 seasons of 27 or more homers, seven straight top-10 league MVP finishes and a World Series championship with the Atlanta Braves. He had two stints with his hometown Tampa Bay Rays, as well as time with the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers. McGriff was elected unanimously by the 16-member committee. He was the only player elected from an eight-man ballot that also included Albert Belle, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Don Mattingly, Dale Murphy, Rafael Palmeiro and Curt Schilling. During 10 years on the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot, McGriff never came close to the 75% threshold needed for election, surpassing 24 percent only in 2019, his final year of eligibility, when he got to 39.8. That lack of support was a source of considerable frustration for his supporters, who felt he was being overlooked and even penalized in comparison to players who were connected to the use of performance-enhancing drugs. McGriff chose to not say much, often just saying that he was happy to be considered.   By the time early voting ended Friday, nearly one in every three Cobb County voters had already cast a ballot in the runoff election between U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock, a Democrat, and Republican challenger Herschel Walker. More than 155,510 Cobb voters, or 30.4%, have voted early in person or by absentee ballot, according to data from the Secretary of State's office. That turnout rate surpasses the state at-large, where 1,852,593 voters, or 26.4%, have cast a ballot. Early voting totals in Cobb weren't as high as before the November 8 general election, but voters had far less time to cast a ballot — one week before the runoff, as opposed to three weeks before the general election. That resulted in single-day totals that blew past the previous election. Last Monday, for example, saw over 27,000 voters cast a ballot in person, resulting in long lines at some Cobb polling locations. On Friday, the county said 29,699 people voted early. By way of comparison, the largest single-day total in the general election, which saw short wait times, was around 14,600. In Cobb, the huge early voting turnout was overshadowed Friday by a legal dispute over absentee ballots. The American Civil Liberties Union and Southern Poverty Law Center sued the county, alleging that delays in ballot mailing caused by the Thanksgiving holiday had disenfranchised voters. After hours of negotiation, Superior Court Judge Kellie Hill signed off on an agreement to extend the absentee ballot deadline by three days — to December 9 — for any voter whose absentee ballot application was accepted on or before Nov. 26. Ballots in that category must be postmarked by Tuesday, December 6, which is Election Day.   Three players scored in double figures, and Kell used an opportunistic defense to keep McEachern at bay and win their matchup 67-62 in the Tournament of Champions Showcase at Wheeler High School on Saturday.  The Longhorns, the Number 1 team in Class AAAAA, trailed only twice the entire game -- at 8-6 in the first quarter, and then 40-39 in the third -- and found a way to win despite missing 7-foot center Peyton Marshall. Coach Jermaine Sellers said Marshall could have played if it was a playoff game, but the team did not want to take the chance this early in the season. To offset his absence, Kell played the entire game with a added sense of urgency, grabbing nearly every loose ball, getting hands in passing lanes and creating steals. Each time McEachern, which was playing without starting guard Moses Hipps, seemed to get back into the game, Kell would force a turnover to two and push its lead back to four or five points, which it was the majority of the second half. The Longhorns needed to do all those things to help offset the performance of the Indians' Ace Bailey. The 6-foot-9 junior forward, a day after scoring 34 points against South Cobb, he kept McEachern, ranked third in Class AAAAAAA, in the game with a 30-point performance. The Cobb Galleria and Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre released its annual report this week, and business for both is back in full swing. For the first time since 2019, both venues were financially in the black. That was made possible due to the full return of live entertainment and events at two of Cobb's largest and busiest destinations. The Galleria hosted 187 events, up from less than 100 events in its previous fiscal year. Approximately 229,000 people visited the venue. CEPAC, meanwhile, held 178 events and brought in 180,000 guests after hosting next to no events during the depths of the pandemic. The Galleria posted an operating profit of just shy of $2 million, while the Galleria hit $3.53 million, the latter topping its 2019 numbers by roughly $750,000. The authority also boasted its best sales tax proceeds since before the pandemic. After generating about $1.7 million last year, the authority reported its venues generated $7.5 million in revenue from sales, liquor, hotel-motel and other taxes. Wheeler opened the second half on a 10-2 run to build a double-digit lead and gradually pulled away from a pesky Kimball High School from Texas squad 77-61 in the final game of the Tournament of Champions Showcase at Wheeler High School on Saturday. Kimball kept the game close throughout the first half and trailed only 30-28 at the break, so coach Larry Thompson said it was important to get off to a good start in the third quarter. The main big guy in the middle was 6-foot-9 forward Arrinten Page. The USC signee took full advantage, finishing the night with a team-high 21 points, including six dunks, along with 12 rebounds. Leading 41-34 a 3-pointer and a dunk by Jelani Hamilton, who finished with 12 points, pushed the Wildcats' lead to 46-34. Back-to-back dunks by Page late in the quarter gave Wheeler, the Number 1 team in Class AAAAAAA, a 50-40 advantage before five straight points by T'Johnn Brown, who led all scorers with 24 points, cut the lead to five to start the fourth quarter.  Isaiah Collier, who had 16 points, eight assists and five rebounds, finally found his groove in the final 8 minutes. He opened the quarter with a driving layup, got fouled, and made the free throw. He added four more points as the game came to a close, but he set up three of Page's four dunks down the stretch with some big-time assists. A Page dunk and a 3-pointer by Hamilton pushed the lead back into double-digits at 65-54. A dunk and a putback by Ricky McKenzie made the lead 13 at the 2:48 mark, and two more dunks by Page put Wheeler up 75-61.  Josh Hill scored nine points and McKenzie added eight.   #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com        See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
