Sheffield, first elected in 2020, celebrated the win at her Mableton home and emphasized her commitment to serving all constituents, regardless of party affiliation. Her victory, alongside Democrat Erick Allen's in District 2, restores the Cobb County Commission's Democratic majority. Hardwick, the first Republican to run for the seat in years, narrowed Sheffield's early voting lead but fell short. Sheffield's next term will focus on health and wellness in her district. STORY 2: Murph's Restaurant to Close for Galleria Remodel, Future Uncertain The future of Murph’s, a restaurant and bar opened by Braves legend Dale Murphy in 2017, is uncertain as the Cobb Galleria Centre undergoes a major remodel. The Galleria’s renovation, set to begin this fall, includes demolishing the space where Murph’s is located. Initially assured they’d be part of the remodel, the Murphys were recently informed their restaurant is no longer in the plans. Despite strong community support and success, Murph’s is set to close in August. The Murphys hope to negotiate a solution in an upcoming meeting with Galleria management but are also exploring other location options near Truist Park. STORY 3: Cobb EMC Directors Look Back on Scandal, Discuss Looming Term Limits Cobb EMC has rebounded from a decade of scandal under former CEO Dwight Brown, who was accused of self-dealing and mismanagement, leaving the co-op in financial turmoil. Since then, a new board elected in 2011-2012 has transformed the organization, achieving some of the lowest electric rates in Georgia and top national reliability. However, term limits approved in 2012 mean the entire board will be replaced between 2026 and 2028, raising concerns about the loss of institutional knowledge. While directors support term limits, some suggest staggering turnover to ease transitions. The co-op remains in strong standing, with members set to elect new leadership in the coming years.

Break: INGLES 1 STORY 4: UPDATE: Erick Allen Wins Cobb District 2 Seat, Restores Democratic Majority on Commission Democrat Erick Allen has won the vacant District 2 seat on the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, securing 58.6% of the vote against Republican Alicia Adams' 41.4%. Allen's victory, alongside Monique Sheffield's projected win, restores the board's Democratic majority. The District 2 seat was vacated in February after Jerica Richardson's removal due to a redistricting battle. Allen emphasized unity in his victory speech, pledging to bring the fractured district together. Adams, despite her loss, highlighted her campaign's focus on giving a voice to underrepresented constituents. Allen's leadership is expected to strengthen collaboration across the county and state levels. STORY 5: 'Apples and Dump Trucks': Cobb Schools Approves Band Loan, New Scoreboard Cobb Superintendent Chris Ragsdale defended the district’s processes after approving a $50,000 loan for Pebblebrook High School’s band uniforms and a $439,497 privately funded scoreboard for Walton High. The Pebblebrook loan, to be repaid over five years, is one of the few exceptions the district makes for extracurricular funding. Walton’s scoreboard, funded by private donations, required board approval due to its cost exceeding $200,000. Ragsdale emphasized that all projects, regardless of funding source, must follow district procedures. Board members highlighted the importance of supporting programs like Pebblebrook’s large, nationally recognized band while maintaining clear policies for funding and approvals. Break: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 6: Head of North Cobb Christian Renews 4-Year Contract Todd Clingman, head of North Cobb Christian School in Kennesaw, has renewed his contract for another four years, extending his tenure to 22 years. Clingman, who joined the 55-acre private Christian school in 2007, has been praised by Board President Todd Rainwater for his mission-driven leadership and transformative impact on the school’s community and campus. The board expressed gratitude for Clingman’s dedication to the school’s vision and values, celebrating his continued leadership as he prepares for his 18th year in the role. STORY 7: Marietta Resident Receives Outstanding Master’s Student Award Claire Warner of Marietta was honored with the Outstanding Master's Student Award from Georgia State University's College of Education & Human Development during the spring 2025 Honors Day Ceremony.

Private lands are open for turkey hunting, but public hunting grounds don't open until on Saturday, and will run through May 15th. According to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the turkey population faced challenges in reproduction from 2021 to 2022. Emily Rushton, the Wild Turkey Project Coordinator, noted that while reproduction rates have dipped slightly, hunters can still expect comparable gobbler numbers to previous years. During the season, hunters are reminded of bag limits— one turkey per day, with a total of two for the season, and specific regulations for Wildlife Management Areas and National Forest lands. All hunters, including youth, must maintain a harvest record and complete the reporting process through Georgia Game Check within 24 hours of harvesting. For those under 16, no license is needed, but older hunters must obtain the necessary licenses unless hunting on private land. This from WSB.   PC News   Congratulations to Brandon Maple!

They should leave, and take all of their money with them.     Weird Story From Fox 5:   Guests at Disney theme parks are facing a messy situation while waiting in long lines.

Commercial : CU of GA – ESOG STORY 1: Developer tweaks downtown Marietta apartment building's design   Atlanta-based developer Bridger Properties has received an extension from the Marietta Historic Board of Review to refine its proposed downtown apartment building design off Polk Street. The initial design featured an 84-foot, 135-unit complex, but the revised plan reduces the unit count to 122, with the exact height yet to be determined. The new design incorporates a stepped profile, aiming to better align with city guidelines for the downtown historic district's building heights. The developer is also considering integrating the stair tower for the pedestrian bridge over the train tracks into the building. The project has received input from citizens and city officials, focusing on materials, massing, and scale to fit seamlessly into the historic district. The building would include one- and two-bedroom apartments, ground-level retail, courtyards, a pool, and underground parking. While some residents have expressed concerns about parking and the choice of apartments over condos, the developer cites financing considerations as a significant factor in the decision..…….Get more stories like this from mdjonline.com     STORY 2: Cobb to consider agreements with Smyrna on red light cameras, MARTA on mobile ticketing   Smyrna plans to install red light cameras at intersections along the East-West Connector and Spring Road/Cumberland Boulevard, pending approval from Cobb Board of Commissioners.

Lockheed-Georgia's arrival in 1951 brought prosperity, with the church having over 3,000 members. Economic downturns led to a decline in membership, which now stands at 375-400. The church recently embraced a focus on recreation and community outreach. Despite its smaller size, members believe in a promising future, celebrating their past while aiming to build a lasting legacy.   STORY 5: Kennesaw State falls at Tennessee Tech   Kennesaw State faced a disappointing 17-7 loss to Tennessee Tech in a football game. Tennessee Tech's crucial 83-yard drive in the third quarter, with mostly running plays, shifted the momentum in their favor.

This loss was a significant setback for Kennesaw State, as Tennessee Tech had been struggling in previous games, both offensively and defensively. Kennesaw State's quarterback, Jonathan Murphy, faced constant pressure, resulting in a low passing yardage of 76. The Owls' offense struggled, converting only 3 of 15 third-down attempts.   We'll be back in a moment   Break:   Ingles 8 – Dayco – Powers   STORY 6: Smyrna council moves forward on purchasing First Baptist campus   The Smyrna City Council has voted to approve an agreement for the potential purchase of approximately nine acres of downtown real estate from Smyrna First Baptist Church for around $12.1 million. While the deal is not yet final, the memorandum of understanding outlines the general terms of the agreement. The church's congregation previously voted in favor of the deal to help alleviate financial pressures and enable the construction of a new campus nearby. The city's plans for the acquired property include redevelopment for new businesses, housing, greenspace, or parking. Public input will be sought before any decisions are made. The city has various options for financing the purchase, including cash from the general fund or issuing municipal bonds. Councilwoman Susan Wilkinson opposed the deal due to concerns about certain conditions and the price.   STORY 7: Sports Update   In high school football, Buford secured a commanding 30-3 victory over Marietta, with Dylan Raiola connecting on two touchdown passes to KJ Bolden. Marietta struggled to gain momentum throughout the game. Carrollton dominated Hillgrove in a resounding 49-0 win, highlighted by JuJu Lewis' four touchdown passes.

Ragsdale expressed concerns about the negative impact of apartments on schools, citing Osborne High School as an example. He mentioned threats to student and staff safety originating from neighboring apartments. Ragsdale acknowledged that the district does not expect zero apartment construction but emphasized the primarily negative impact on schools and graduation rates, particularly highlighting the issue of transiency. Education consultant James Wilson supported this argument, noting that students in permanent housing tend to have higher test scores compared to those in transient housing.          Story 3: arrested    A former student at Marietta High School was arrested on Thursday for possessing marijuana and a handgun on campus.

The Wheeler boys basketball team is no stranger to taking on some of the best high school programs in the country. Just this season, the number 1 Wildcats have already played Kimball High School from Texas, Columbus from Florida, Imhotep Charter School of Pennsylvania, Tampa Catholic,  Centennial from Calif. and John Marshall from Virginia in various events. At home, Wheeler has already played defending Class 6A champion Grovetown, will see Number 10 Osborne twice in region play, Newton in a non-region game, and there is a chance Wheeler could meet up with Pebblebrook or McEachern in the playoffs. However, this weekend, Wheeler may be playing the most star-studded high school team in the United States — Sierra Canyon from the Los Angeles outskirts of Chatsworth, California. Wheeler will travel to Los Angeles to compete in The Chosen 1's Invitational, a high school showcase put on in conjunction by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Nike and NBA superstar LeBron James. The games will be played at the Galen Center on the campus of Southern California, the future basketball home of Wheeler five-star point guard Isaiah Collier and four-star forward Arrinten Page. Wheeler was contacted about playing in Saturday's game a couple of months ago. Camden from New Jersey, with the top recruit Dejuan Wagner, was supposed to play, but something happened and a space opened up. While Wheeler boasts the future Southern Cal duo, four-star guard Jelani Hamilton who is headed to Iowa State and three-star forward Josh Hill, it will face a team highlighted by four sons of NBA stars. Sierra Canyon features James' sons, Bronny and Bryce James, as well as Justin Pippen and Ashton Hardaway. Pippen is the son of Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, while Hardaway's father is former NBA star and current Memphis coach Penny Hardaway. The Trailblazers also feature five-star shooting guard Isaiah Elohim, four-star forward Bryce Cofield, three-star forward Noah Williams, three-star forward Jimmy Oladokun and JoJo Phillips, a three-star wide receiver on the Sierra Canyon football team who has signed with BYU. Hardaway has signed to play for his father at Memphis, while Oladokun has signed with San Diego. Of the remainder of the roster, Bronny James is the only other senior. The Wheeler-Sierra Canyon game, set for an 11 p.m. Eastern tip and streamed by the NFHS Network, is one of four on the schedule for The Chosen 1's Invitational. The event will also feature the boys and girls teams from St. Vincent-St. Mary's Catholic High School, LeBron James' alma mater in Akron, Ohio. A group of Cobb families that sued the Cobb County School District over its lack of certain COVID-19 protocols, such as a mask mandate, has won an appeal in federal court. The suit, first filed in October 2021, argued that Cobb School District's failure to follow guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention denied students with disabilities, medical conditions and respiratory ailments access to a safe, in-person learning environment. The plaintiffs are four unnamed Cobb students and their parents, and are represented by the Southern Poverty Law Center and two metro Atlanta law firms. The defendants are CCSD, Superintendent Chris Ragsdale and the school board's four Republicans. The students all have disabilities, such as muscular dystrophy, leukemia and respiratory conditions, and argued they are at risk of severe symptoms or death should they be infected with COVID-19. Adding to that risk, they argued, was the district's choice to loosen its COVID policies ahead of the 2021-2022 school year, including not requiring masks to be worn in schools. As such, the children were forced to opt into virtual learning courses, causing them “irreparable harm” and subjecting them to discrimination. The Southern Poverty Law Center argues the district violated the students' civil rights as enshrined by the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The appeals court sent the case back to the district court, ordering it to “analyze whether virtual schooling is a reasonable accommodation for in-person schooling, not education in general.” Cobb schools did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Cobb's own Pebblebrook High School is one of two Atlanta-area high schools that will be featured in a prestigious marching band showcase in February.  The HBCU All-Star Battle of the Bands will feature marching bands from four historically Black colleges and universities, as well as those from Pebblebrook and Westlake high schools. The event will take place Saturday, February 4 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.  The Pebblebrook band's participation in the event will come just over a month after the Mighty Marching Machine traveled to New Orleans to perform at the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The HBCU All-Star Battle of the Bands, which has also partnered with Allstate for the event, will host a college fair at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta before the showcase, according to a news release. Forty-five different HBCUs from around the country will waive student application fees, accept applications on-site, and even offer opportunities for scholarships. High school students and recent graduates are invited to attend the college fair, averaging 7,000 attendees in past years, prior to the band performances from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on February 4.  A familiar name in the Kennesaw dining scene is back, this time with a new restaurant offering a fresh take on Mexican and Southwestern cuisine. Bernardo's Modern-Mex, owned by Brett and Laura Olszeski, is now open in downtown Kennesaw. It takes the place of Trackside Grill, which the Olszeski family owned and operated for 20 years. A recent remodel brought Bernardo's to life in the former Trackside space. The new restaurant includes a spacious dining room and an indoor patio with a fireplace. A planned rooftop bar is supposed to open sometime in the spring.  Bernardo's is a return to Brett Olszeski's roots in the restaurant industry, which he said was some time in the making. The "family" in this family business is also connected to the cuisine: Brett and wife Laura met in a Mexican restaurant. Bernardo's may sound familiar to another restaurant the Olszeski family owns and operates across the street: Bernie's Social Bar, which has been open in downtown Kennesaw for five years. Brett Olszeski explained that "Bernie" is a family name, and Bernardo a Spanish variation of the name: Brett's father was named Bernard, Brett's middle name is Bernard, and Brett's brother is named Bernie.  Brett said Bernardo's is not your typical Tex-Mex. The restaurant's main culinary influences come not from Texas but from Mexico, Arizona and New Mexico. All of the food is fresh, and Brett says the restaurant hopes to serve as many as 40 different tequilas.  As the clouds gave way to sunshine Wednesday afternoon, much of Cobb had dried up after heavy rain Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. However, the effects of the deluge were still felt in some parts of the county, notably Noonday Creek Park and East Cobb Park. Cobb County Parks announced late Wednesday morning the two parks would be “closed until further notice” because of flooding, though just before noon, it announced East Cobb Park would reopen at 1 p.m. The county had not announced a reopening timeline for Noonday Creek Park by 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, with the parking lot at the park that sits adjacent the creek still mostly flooded. Around 8:30 Wednesday morning, a county spokesperson told the MDJ the Cobb Department of Transportation was not working on any issues related to the storms that swept through the area Tuesday evening. Cobb DOT responded to four calls about flooding and one regarding a fallen tree, but those were cleared as of 8:30 a.m., according to the spokesperson. Cobb and nearly 50 other counties in Georgia were under a tornado watch until 9 p.m. Tuesday, as strong storms swept through the area after making their way across the Alabama-Georgia border. A flash flood warning was in effect for Cobb until noon Wednesday. The county postponed a test of its emergency outdoor sirens to Thursday as a result of the storms. Kennesaw State offensive coordinator Grant Chesnut will be hired as Navy football's new offensive coordinator, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation told The Capital on Monday. Newly-hired head coach Brian Newberry could not be reached for comment, while senior associate athletic director for sports information Scott Strasemeier said Navy was not prepared to make any announcements regarding assistant coaches at this time. Chesnut just completed his eighth season at Kennesaw State under head coach Brian Bohannon. The Owls ranked 10th in rushing offense in the Football Championship Subdivision this season, averaging 232.2 yards per game. Chesnut coached alongside Newberry for four seasons at Kennesaw State, while Newberry served as defensive coordinator. The two matched wits in practice on a daily basis. Both men worked under Bohannon, a disciple of former Navy and Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson. #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.

An der Wall Street profitieren die Aktien aus dem Sportartikel und Bekleidungsbereich von den soliden Quartalszahlen von Nike. Auf konstanter Währungsbasis konnte der dortige Umsatz um 27% gesteigert werden, was mehr als 700 Basispunkte über den Erwartungen liegt. Die Nachfrage fiel in allen Regionen überraschend robust aus. Die Lagerbestände liegen zwar 43% über Vorjahresniveau, sind im Vergleich zum vorhergehenden Quartal gesunken. Das Management hat außerdem die Aussichten für das Gesamtjahr ebenfalls leicht angehoben. FedEx enttäuscht zwar auf der Umsatzseite, steuert aber durch aggressive Einsparungen dem Trend entgegen und kann die Ertragsschätzungen solide übertreffen.

The hotel and lodging sector is showing a varied recovery, as it outperforms 2019 levels in some areas but struggles in others, according to Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) Chairman, President, and CEO Jon Bortz.Speaking on Nareit's REIT Report, Bortz noted that strength in the market has tended to be concentrated in resorts, particularly drive-to resorts, which are often achieving higher occupancy and rates than seen in 2019.The struggles, on the other hand, have mainly been in the urban environment, Bortz said. He noted that in San Francisco, Pebblebrook's revenue is still down 80% from 2019 levels, while in Washington, D.C., revenue is down 70% over that same period.Bortz said signs of recovery in business travel are already evident, “but it's a very slow recovery.” He said business transient travel appears to be about 40-50% back, while business group travel is about 30-40% back.

Teague and Tom chat about Pebblebrook's COVID impact, current cash burn, and transactions pre and post COVID.

Jesse has been the Head Coach for Boys Basketball at Norcross High School for 11 years and has been a teacher and coach at Norcross for 19 years. He spent 12 years in the Norcross High School Language Arts Department before transitioning to Health & PE classes. During his time as head coach, Norcross won two state titles (2011, 2013) and finished state runner-up in 2017 and 2018. He has a winning mark of better than 80% in Georgia’s largest and toughest athletic classification. His Norcross teams participate in showcases and invitationals across the nation. Jesse grew up in a family of educators and knew early on that teaching and coaching was something he wanted to do. He spends about 335 days a year at Norcross working on the basketball program, and during the season many of those days are over fourteen hours long. Jesse is successful in part because he holds the players in his program to a high standard and evolves the program from being “coach lead” to “player lead”, empowering the team to make suggestions and approach during games, and hold each other accountable. Coach McMillan has been recognized in the Gwinnett Daily Post as showing “ a great ability to build chemistry [among the players]”. His fondest moments and most satisfying victories are Final Four and State Championship victories and memorable playoff wins versus Pebblebrook (2017), McEachern (2018), and Grayson (2019). Those games stand out because the team rose up against great odds and competed at the highest level. He’s also a bit superstitious; he makes sure to use his lucky pencil to fill out the scorebook at each game! Coach McMillan, his wife Elizabeth, and two children (Elyse and Mason) are long-time Norcross and Peachtree Corners residents. We thank them for their support and sacrifice to make the Norcross basketball program the best it can be! jesse_mcmillan@gwinnett.k12.ga.us @NorcrossHoops Check out Practice Planner Live Landing Page : https://www.practiceplannerlive.com/backoffice?referralCode=lFybQ8WxF8 Free Trial Page : https://www.practiceplannerlive.com/backoffice/auth/trial?referralCode=lFybQ8WxF8 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kevin-furtado/support

The lodging sector was one of the first industries to feel the economic brunt of the coronavirus crisis, and it will likely be one of the last to benefit from an eventual upturn, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) Chairman and CEO Jon Bortz said. Speaking April 9 on the REIT Report podcast, Bortz said about half of the hotels across the industry have now closed completely, with millions of employees furloughed. “We think it’s going to be a very slow recovery,” he said. By the end of March, operations at all but eight of Pebblebrook’s 54 hotels had been suspended and over 7,500 employees furloughed. Meanwhile, costs have been cut at the corporate level, with executives volunteering to either reduce or forego their compensation. Pebblebrook has cut back on capital projects and drawn down its line of credit completely. “We’re sitting on a little over $700 million that should allow us, with a fairly significant cash burn, to get through the better part of next year,” Bortz said.

Captain Ivy Waxwort has unfinished business over in Pebblebrook, but she is confident she could handle it by herself. So confident, in fact, that she decides to drag along the two saddest-looking mice in the Guard so she can measure their worth - Isolde and Sable. ----more---- If you like the show, you can support us on Patreon!

The year will be remembered for Wildseed. The landlords of Gilpledge saw last Fall's surplus as an opportunity and bought an entire caravan of grain from Ivydale with which to build a brand new settlement. Two patrols were sent out to escort this journey. Saxon, Kenzie, Rand, and new Guardsmouse Taryn (whose further missions are covered in later pages) went ahead [see appendix I: New and Ascending Guardmice 1148]. I assembled a new patrol as well from the exiled Marx, my contentious friend Francisca, and her new Tenderpaw Tander. When underway, they noticed the caravan was intentionally making poor time. The governor of Ivydale had made a side deal: wealthy merchants offered a higher price for the grain so they could store it in the hopes a poor harvest later would drive up the price. It backfired, as a fear of weasel attack scattered the grain peddlers into the night. The patrols divided, the real threat appeared: a pair of whistle pigs hoping for a meal. The scavengers were driven off, and the goods protected, but Saxon was injured for the rest of the season. Lockhaven accepted the fleeing harvesters and peddlers, where Marx convinced them, and the laborers who were to accept the wagons for the under-the-table deal, to instead follow the original mission. In no time at all, Wildseed set its first foundations. After some time guarding and assisting the building, the patrol rescued a cartographer, and escorted her home to Port Sumac to produce new maps reflecting the settlement-to-be. In the harbor an alarm went up. Calogero was swarmed with crabs again, and the patrol set sail to reclaim it. Their plan reflected a flair for creative solutions, creating a disguise made from discarded crab shells. They emerged from it with the element of surprise, and Francisca was in her element. By the heat of the summer, Wildseed was ready for residents. A new caravan, this one of settlers, formed at Shorestone. It only seemed right for Francisca, Tander, and Marx to attend to them. Francisca was very interested in taking a mission there. Their path was not easy. At times the threat seemed to come from within, an attack Francisca had no defense for. [see appendix IV: Disciplinary Action 1148] Caring for one another is our strength. The last challenge was the greatest: turning a group of mice and buildings into a sustainable community. But, they managed. [Several pages later] Meanwhile, I had assembled another new patrol. The stoic Zeke, the reticent Isolde, and the caring Sable were sent out to lay a portion of the scent barrier after the frost melted. Sable also took a new Tenderpaw this year: Lily. The supply was low this year, and they were met with delays at every step. They escaped a snake before bureaucracy of Elmoss took its delay, then had their weapons stolen at Sprucetuck. This was a blessing in disguise, as Lily proved herself able to see solutions nobody else did; a perspective Sable chose to protect from certain facts. As Lily befriended a noble weasel and searched for the missing gear, Sable and Zeke discovered the weasel had caused the trouble in the first place. I do not believe Lily knows the full truth even now. All preparations complete, the laying of the border was relatively simple. I kept them together in summer as well, on a mail delivery route west, with the charge to aid any mouse in need along the way. Sometimes the mouse in need is your own patrol mate; and sometimes, a patrol is a powerful bond. They became family this season. In Barkstone, they were involved in a murder trial where the "victim" was not actually dead, and in Woodstuff's Grove they became criminals themselves when Zeke stole mail that had been confiscated by the corrupt, autocratic mayor. They even gained a new member with Lily's pet spider, Stencil. At the end of their route, in Pebblebrook, a mystery they had been following came to a head. A mysterious letter was in their deliveries, hinting at a conspiracy we are calling "The Spear" that seeks to use the Guard for some end. Bronwen has beel following this same puzzle that, until this year, I thought was a folly. But, that matter is still ongoing. Bronwen remains suspicious of every mmouse she meets. It was also a turning point in the relationship between Lily and Sable. They are now, legally, family. [Several pages later] In Fall, all patrols changed. Two were pulling on separate threads, and we had no idea until they returned this Winter that they were on opposite ends of the same knot. Darkheather was recruiting mice for an unknown purpose. For our own knowledge, and at the request of several settlements, I assembled a patrol to investigate. Marx went to be levelheaded. Sable for her wariness. Lily was special. No other mouse in our order is friends with a weasel noble. I did not hear one word for months. Meanwhile, I sent Francisca to turn a moose back away into the Wild Country. She took Tander, Zeke, and Isolde (who did not want to be chosen) [see appendix IV: Disciplinary Action 1148]. At Wolfepointe, they enlisted the renowned hunter Harford, and were counseled by a mouse elder who claimed she could see the future. With all the resources they could muster, the moose was scared away. They elder's powers came from a "sacred fruit" that was being cultivated for export. She begged them to stop the trade before something terrible happened. The Patrol went ahead to Port Sumac and apprehended the overland smuggler who led them to a sea smuggler and confirmed their fears: this pipeline lead to the overlord, Rampaul. Harford was central to the plot, believing if the weasels saw visions of future war, they would move to prevent it. The cargo was seized and the traffic stopped, though not without difficulty. [See Appendix III: Serious Injuries 1148] On the road to Darkheather, the others met up with other mice, including Dalla of Sprucetuck, and the esteemed Brand. They entered under a ruse and began new lives undercover. Even in those tunnels, life continued. Lily was undaunted, challenging a tunnel lord after he confessed to killing three guardsmice thought lost last Winter. The overlord's project was to concentrate the sacred fruit into a prophetic wine, and improve the formula. The rumors of what Rampaul saw spurred the patrol to escape home. Marx had one last piece of intel to collect: the administrative notebooks of the Tunnel Lord charged with the laboring mice: Fulbert. With her weasel friend's help, Lily secured escape for herself, Sable, and one of the sciencemice they had grown close to. In the days after their return, Marx's body was found dead and dismembered. We may never know what happened to him. [see appendix VIII: Deceased Members 1148] [Several pages later] Winter brought new changes that we will see in the coming Spring, as it tends to do. Tander is now a full guardsmouse, and Zeke has been promoted to Patrol Guard [see appendix Ia: New and Ascending Guardsmice 1149]. Lily has taken up Marx's weapon as she enters her second year as a Tenderpaw. The strain on her relationship with Sable is worrying, but they both have others to lean on. This Spear conspiracy continues to keep me up at night. To help, the oldest mouse in Lockhaven, Ivy Waxwort, has come out of retirement and left her beehive to walk the wilderness again. I fear for the days ahead and the challenges unseen. I find solace in the dozens of journals on these shelves that end with the same sentiments. The Territories surived all those winters and I am sure we will see many more. With the strength of mice, and the skills of the Guard, (and my modest gift of guidance), even these shadows will melt away. The Guard prevail.

Jon Bortz, chairman, president, and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, was a guest on the latest edition of Nareit’s REIT Report podcast. Early in September, Pebblebrook announced it would pay $5.2 billion to acquire fellow hotel REIT LaSalle Hotel Properties, ending a series of revised offers that began in March. The deal is expected to close later this year. Bortz, who founded both REITs, said the two companies share an “incredible similarity” in terms of assets, quality, markets, geography, and brands. Pebblebrook has said it plans to sell between $500 million and $1 billion of assets from the combined portfolio. The bulk of sales are likely to come from the LaSalle side and from the East Coast, Bortz said. “The sales will allow us to finetune the portfolio from a size and diversification perspective,” he noted. Looking ahead, Bortz said a number of opportunities exist within the LaSalle portfolio.

Hello! Welcome to Wednesday Night Game’s Halloween Special!!! We played some Mouse Guard for the occasion.  The patrol journeyed to Pebblebrook, a little settlement on the northern end of the western scent border.  There we met a rather irritable Governor and a few strange occurrences. Please enjoy our spooky adventure!  We sure did! http://wednesdaynightgame.com/Mouse%20Guard%20-%20Halloween%20Special.mp3
