Today is Saturday, November 11th and Happy heavenly Birthday to General George Patton. ***PATTON MOVIE*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia Man Gets Life for Stabbing Murder of Girl Nickajack Elementary School Foundation Raises over $200,000 in 2023 Back the Jack campaign Marietta Council Approves Staff Raises and Wage Hike 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 STORY 1: Man Gets Life for Stabbing Murder of Girl An 18-year-old, Brayan Rivas, has been sentenced to life in prison, plus 20 years without parole, after pleading guilty to the murder of a female juvenile in Marietta in 2020. Rivas, associated with the MS-13 gang, attempted to initiate the victim. Marietta Police responded to a missing female juvenile report, finding that Rivas had confronted the victims, attempted to start a fight, and threatened them with a knife. Pursuing them into the woods, Rivas stabbed the girl to death. The motive was linked to gang initiation. The Cobb District Attorney called it one of the most heinous and senseless murders. STORY 2: Nickajack Elementary School Foundation Raises over $200,000 in 2023 Back the Jack campaign The Nickajack Elementary School Foundation has achieved a record-breaking fundraising campaign, surpassing its goal by raising over $200,000. The annual Back the Jack campaign received support from over 340 individual donors, contributing over $134,000, with additional corporate matches exceeding $25,000. Local businesses also contributed over $45,000. The funds will be used to support various educational programs, including STEAM days, an annual STEAM night, the Teach Grant program, and other initiatives. The Foundation aims to enhance the school's curriculum and educational priorities, with planned projects such as teacher training in Orton-Gillingham phonics methods and the introduction of a NASA Space Program trailer. STORY 3: Marietta Council Approves Staff Raises and Wage Hike The Marietta City Council unanimously approved staff raises ranging from 4-7%, with the lowest wage increased from $15 to $17 per hour. City Manager Bill Bruton stated that the raises would cost the city $3 million annually, funded by delaying capital expenditures. The change came after staffing challenges, particularly in public safety and electric line workers, necessitated higher raises. The revised proposal includes 4% raises for general employees, 5% for electric line workers, and 7% for public safety personnel. The starting hourly wage for the lowest-paid employees was increased from $15 to $17. The raises will be effective from December 10.

We'll be right back Break: ESOG – ELON – DAYCO STORY 4: Dysfunction Reigns at Marietta Council's Apartment Building Debate The Marietta City Council voted to delay the decision on Bridger Properties' proposed downtown apartment building until January. The Atlanta-based developer seeks to construct a 122-unit building, five stories at its tallest point, on a 1.25-acre lot downtown. The Historic Board of Review rejected two designs for the building. The council was divided on the issue, with Councilwoman Cheryl Richardson proposing a delay to work on a compromise. The council eventually voted 6-1 to table the issue for two months, with Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin vetoing it, and later the council voted 5-2 to override the veto. STORY 5: Mayor Vetoes Mixed-Use Project at Former Harry's Farmers Market Site Marietta Mayor Steve "Thunder" Tumlin vetoed the City Council's 6-1 approval of a mixed-use development by Westplan Investors at a struggling shopping center. The project seeks to redevelop 19.25 acres near Roswell and Powers Ferry roads into a mix of retail and 236 apartments, down from the originally proposed 328, and 28 townhomes. Tumlin expressed concerns about the balance of apartments and townhomes and had hinted at a possible veto. The mayor's veto can be overridden by five council members. The property, already zoned for mixed-use development, requires council approval of its site plan for redevelopment. We'll be back in a moment Break: TEDS - DRAKE – INGLES 1 STORY 6: Cobb Schools Super Wants General Assembly to Consider Book Rating System The Cobb County School District in Georgia is considering advocating for a state rating system for books, similar to movie ratings, as part of its legislative priorities under a new "safety and security" category. The system aims to prevent inappropriate materials from being accessed by children. Some school board members, like Democrat Becky Sayler, expressed concerns about who decides what's inappropriate and the potential for outside influences to shape book selection. Superintendent Chris Ragsdale emphasized the need to exclude obscene, pornographic, lewd, and sexually explicit material, drawing parallels with existing content filtering laws like the Children's Internet Protection Act. STORY 7: Navy Chiefs Featured at New KSU Exhibit Kennesaw State University's Museum of History and Holocaust Education is launching a Veterans Day exhibit featuring artifacts from U.S. Navy chiefs. The exhibit highlights the history of Dobbins Air Reserve Base and its connection to multiple military branches, particularly Navy chiefs. Chief Petty Officer Keon Coates, a training coordinator at KSU, played a significant role in curating the exhibit, showcasing artifacts from his Navy service, including a unique paddle and a gold plate from West Africa. The second part features challenge coins collected by service members, symbolizing achievements and fostering camaraderie. The exhibit opens on Saturday and will run until November 2024.

In this episode you will hear: (16:42) In this week’s news segment, an article from The New York Times, “Check This Box if You’re a Good Person”, by Rebecca Sabky. A college admissions professional at Dartmouth College talks about having to navigate the applications of thousands of talented students that all seem to become indistinguishable. Her ideal candidate embodies kindness above all – a trait that is almost impossible to determine on paper. (45:18) We are in Chapter 120 of 171 Answers and Mark describes the TEACH Grant and how aspiring teachers can qualify for close to $4,000 per year of their undergraduate degree. (01:01:44) It is time this week for our bonus content segment and Mark shares 14 ways the college admissions process may be different for the current high school juniors due to COVID-19. (01:38:55) Mark continues his interview with the final segment with Vincent Garcia: Understanding the 23 Colleges in the California State University System, Part IV. There will not be a College Spotlight because Vince’s interview is in fact a spotlight on the 23 universities that make up the CSU system. (01:48:03) Recommended resource: The Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges Mark also recommended an article by Forbes about college students can get refund money through the Cares Act.

Teach Grant's acting filmography is rich with grit and nuance and realism and includes Van Helsing, Altered Carbon, Damnation, The Romeo Section, the severely-underrated-and-cancelled-way-before-its-time Strange Empire, The 100, Rush, and Ana Valine's atmospheric and creepy Once There Was A Winter, which reunited him with Romeo Section co-star and friend of the podcast Juan Riedinger. Recently, Teach played psychopathic bully Henry Bowers in It Chapter Two. The film is set 27 years after the events of 2017's It (both are based on the 1986 novel by Stephen King) and has grossed more than $473 million USD since its premiere in August 2019. In this contemplative interview, Teach reflects on his journey from working-class Toronto kid to Vancouver-based working actor. And he speaks at length about roles: the roles he revels in, the roles he craves, and the ones that he just won't do anymore. Episode sponsor: Fish Flight Entertainment
Two federal programs intended to steer college students toward public service jobs like teaching in high-poverty schools instead became mired in missteps, as recipients found their grants wrongly converted into high-interest loans. Cory Turner of NPR’s education team spent 18 months looking at problems with the TEACH Grant program. His findings helped spur the U.S. Department of Education to reverse course. He’s also been digging into Congress’ attempts to address problems with private servicers hired by the feds to administer the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Fund. How did open records factor into Turner’s reporting process? What techniques did he use to sort through the red tape and find the human stories underneath? How can education reporters carve out time for investigative work, even on tight deadlines? This episode of EWA Radio originally aired September 25, 2019.
