BREAK: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) STORY 1: Guthrie’s Opens in East Cobb Guthrie's has opened a new restaurant in east Cobb's Parkaire Landing, Marietta, marking its fifth location in Georgia this year. Known for its scratch-made chicken fingers and signature sauce, Guthrie's aims to blend its heritage with Marietta's evolving culture. The drive-thru operates daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., offering hand-breaded chicken fingers, cole slaw, fries, Texas toast, and their famous sauce. This new location will create about 35 jobs. Guthrie's, founded in Haleyville, Alabama, now has over 60 locations across 10 states, continuing its national expansion. STORY 2: Cobb to Consider Mt. Bethel Christian Academy Expansion Plan The Cobb County Board of Commissioners will review Mt. Bethel Christian Academy's expansion master plan during a zoning hearing. The plan aims to replace temporary classrooms with permanent buildings and relocate sports facilities on its high school campus, which can accommodate up to 625 students. The academy, independent of Mt. Bethel Church, faces a lease termination for its lower and middle schools, necessitating new facilities by 2028. Proposed changes include new academic buildings, improved traffic access, and relocated sports facilities, sparking opposition from local residents concerned about disruption and lack of detailed plans. Commissioner JoAnn Birrell plans a campus walkthrough before the hearing. STORY 3: 'You Deserve It': Veteran Detainees Presented with Resources at Cobb Jail Cobb County Sheriff Deputy Nedra Handia discovered numerous resources for veterans, including the Cobb County Veterans Accountability and Treatment Court and The Warrior Alliance, after connecting with Vietnam veteran Daniel Hydrick. Inspired, she organized a program for six veteran detainees to learn about these resources. With support from Sheriff Craig Owens, changes were made in the Cobb Jail, including a special wing for veterans. Detainee Gary Williams, a Vietnam-era Air Force veteran, appreciated the support and plans to share the information. The program emphasized hope and freedom, with Hydrick encouraging the veterans that the best is yet to come. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

The festivities included an arts and crafts fair with over 40 vendors, live dance performances, a petting zoo, and activities for kids like inflatable bounce houses and photos with Santa. Vendors like Two Crafty Ladies of Georgia and Samantha Raeburn offered unique gifts and experiences, such as handcrafted decorations and "blind date with a book" packages. The event, supported by sponsors, featured fair rides and food vendors, making it a festive tradition for local families. STORY 5: No. 10: Cobb Schools Nixes $50 Million Event Center The Cobb County Board of Education canceled plans for a $50 million event center in July, following Superintendent Chris Ragsdale's recommendation due to economic concerns reminiscent of pre-2008 recession indicators. The board voted 6-0 to halt the project, initially approved in March 2023, which faced criticism for its cost and lack of detailed planning. Critics included board member Becky Sayler and the citizen group Watching the Funds — Cobb. Despite the cancellation, Ragsdale emphasized the ongoing need for such a facility but prioritized employee welfare over new infrastructure. We’ll be back in a moment Break: Ingles Markets 3 STORY 6: 'FedUp with FedEx': Residents Complain of Austell Delays Residents have nicknamed the FedEx facility on Factory Shoals Road the "Austell Black Hole" due to significant delays in package deliveries, with some waiting weeks. Marietta resident Topher Evans, frustrated by lost shipments, created a Facebook group highlighting these issues. The group has grown, with members sharing stories of delayed packages, including essential items like medication. Despite FedEx's statement about efforts to resolve delays, many customers remain dissatisfied, expressing their concerns on social media. Evans now avoids using FedEx for non-express shipments, citing ongoing unresolved issues at the Austell hub. STORY 7: Ruby's Sourdough Pizza Opens in Smyrna Ruby’s Sourdough Pizza in Smyrna aims to create a community hub with its freshly-made sourdough pizzas and inviting dining space. Owner Chris Rimby designed the venue to host families and friends, featuring an outdoor patio, greenspace, and a stage for events.

In this episode of Justice Speaks, we continue our series with State Drug Court Coordinators through an interview with Ms. Kaylee Dickenson, the State Drug Court Coordinator for West Virginia. This episode is sponsored by Reconnect. Ms. Dickenson begins by detailing her early career in corrections at the Southern Regional Jail and Beckley Correction Center, experiences that laid the foundation for her transition into probation—a role that first introduced her to Treatment Courts. In her capacity as a probation officer, she engaged with treatment-focused justice by attending the State Drug Court Conference and managing adult Drug Courts in Greenbrier and Pocahontas counties. Her accomplishments in these counties and her commitment to therapeutic justice led to her promotion as a Treatment Court evaluator, where she oversaw evaluations for Family Treatment Courts and then to State Drug Court Coordinator. In her role, Ms. Dickenson ensures that Treatment Courts across all 55 West Virginia counties adhere to best practice standards, providing tailored feedback and guidance to enhance each court's impact on participants and the broader community. A key theme in her discussion is the systematic approach to treatment court coordination in West Virginia. Ms. Dickenson elaborates on her role in organizing the State Treatment Court Conference, a biennial event funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance that delivers essential training and resources to judges and probation officers statewide. This conference, which is free for attendees, serves as a platform for knowledge sharing on emerging best practices and evidence-based approaches. Working closely with an educational committee, Ms. Dickenson is involved in all aspects of conference planning, ensuring that treatment courts remain informed about the latest advancements in supporting participants.

December 19th, 2023, Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Episode The struggle to equitably and effectively allocate court resources is a challenge that faces every state. Everywhere the question is the same: how do you allocate funds fairly to courts of different sizes and may even perform different operations such as having a Treatment Court? How do you not disadvantage suburban and rural courts when taking into account the size of each court, its caseload, the demand for service, the degree of innovation, the staffing needs of justice partners like the prosecutor, the public defender, probation, and law enforcement, allocation history, and special circumstances? Additionally, many court budget staffing discussions are not held on a statewide level, they are local discussions where a court might find itself competing with the police, sanitation, or parks and recreation. What do these courts use to convince funding bodies to provide new resources? Add to the mix the specter that some funding bodies (often cities) place their own agenda on courts to be revenue generators. Is the answer a preset formula that with each new judicial position comes a designated number of additional staff? Is there another, possibly a better methodology? This month we're going to explore the struggle that suburban and rural courts endure in the competition for new budget resources. Here to discuss this issue are Angie VanSchoick: Town Clerk and Court Administrator for the Municipal Court in the town of Silverthorne, Colorado Stacey Fields: Court Administrator for the Municipal Court in Crestwood, Missouri Danielle Trujillo: Court Administrator for the Municipal Court in the City of Littleton, Colorado, and Frank Maiocco: Court Administrator for the Superior Court in Kitsap County, Washington
People who work within the program say it effectively reduces recidivism. But it can also be a challenging program to complete.
In the lawsuit, Gladys and Herman Whitfield Jr. claim the actions of Indianapolis police led to the death of their son and caused them emotional distress. A new measure would create an Economic Enhancement District in downtown Indianapolis, where property owners would pay a fee to support public safety and beautification efforts in Mile Square. Indiana's former abortion care providers are taking new aim at the state's near-total abortion ban following their loss at the state Supreme Court earlier this year. Residents say the city of Gary has long been an industrial “dumping ground.” Some have now filed a civil rights complaint against the state. Allen County Circuit and Superior Courts celebrated the 10th Veterans Court graduation Thursday. Want to go deeper on the stories you hear on WFYI News Now?

William "Bill" Sterbinsky, Esq., is a dedicated advocate for veterans and a passionate legal professional. Hailing from the sunshine state of Florida, Bill's journey into a life of service began at the age of 18 when he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Over the course of four years, from 2003 to 2007, he demonstrated unwavering commitment and bravery, serving as a Security Forces Marine and being deployed to Iraq with 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines, Weapons Company. Bill's ten-month combat experience in the Al Qaim Province, north of the Euphrates River, marked a pivotal chapter in his life. Following his honorable discharge, Bill pursued a degree in history at the University of South Florida, where he discovered not only his passion for all things military but also the challenges veterans face within the VA system. This eye-opening experience motivated Bill to make a difference. He embarked on a legal career, specializing in VA claims, and soon found himself at the Twelfth Judicial Circuit prosecutor's office, where he played a key role in establishing a Veteran's Treatment Court, providing veterans with a fresh start in the judicial system. Outside of the courtroom, Bill co-founded SRQ VETS, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans in need. The organization, driven by Bill's commitment to "take care of our own," continues to positively impact the lives of veterans in the community. Today, as the leader of Veterans Affairs Law, P.A., Bill, along with his experienced team, provides legal representation to veterans nationwide, helping them navigate the complexities of the VA claims process and supporting their rights and benefits. Bill Sterbinsky's life and work exemplify unwavering dedication to veterans and a deep commitment to making a positive impact on their lives, both within and beyond the legal realm. His journey continues to inspire and uplift those he serves. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wakeupwithpattikatter/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wakeupwithpattikatter/support

The crash took place around 10:18 p.m. on East-West Connector near Creekside Villas Way. According to the Cobb County Police Department, an 18-year-old driver was traveling west at a speed well above the 45 mph limit when the vehicle left the road onto the grass shoulder. While attempting to steer back onto the road, the car spun across the westbound lanes and collided with a tree in the center median.

As a result, students were kept in their 4th-period classes for an additional 15 minutes. The school's principal, Diona Brown, assured parents that the situation occurred in an isolated area of the campus, and no students were at risk during the incident. After the police department's assistance, the school resumed its normal schedule, and the principal promised to maintain open lines of communication with parents regarding any matters affecting the school and their children. STORY 5: art The partnership between Wellstar and Augusta University Health Systems (AUHS), announced in December, officially commenced operations. This 40-year agreement will see Wellstar invest nearly $800 million over the next decade in AUHS facilities, including Augusta University Medical Center. This partnership aims to enhance healthcare across Georgia, expand telemedicine programs for rural areas, and address the state's physician and nurse shortage. Despite criticism from some state lawmakers, Wellstar defends its hospital closures, stating that they were due to aging infrastructure, low patient volumes, rising labor costs, and the loss of coronavirus relief funds, making them distinct from the new partnership with AUHS. The unified system resulting from this partnership will be called Wellstar MCG Health. We'll be back in a moment Break: Powers - Ingles 2 - JRM Story 6: ksu In the season opening college football game between Kennesaw State and Tusculum, Kennesaw State's quarterback, Jonathan Murphy, made an impressive play midway through the third quarter. He executed a pirouette to evade a defender and ran for a 55-yard touchdown. However, in the same game, during the fourth quarter, Kennesaw State's Deonte Morris intercepted a pass and had a clear path to the end zone. Instead of scoring an 80-yard touchdown, he dropped the ball right before crossing the goal line. His teammate, Jordan Miles, picked up the ball and was credited with the touchdown. Despite the mistake, Coach Brian Bohannon emphasized the lesson learned and the importance of hustle. Morris may be teased by his teammates but has hopefully learned from the experience. The Owls went on to win their opener 38-7 Story 7: gilbert Nebraska tight end Arik Gilbert, a former Georgia transfer and highly-rated prospect, was arrested in Lincoln for his alleged involvement in a break-in at a vape and liquor shop. Gilbert is accused of attempting to steal over $1,600 worth of vape products, cigars, lighters, and Delta 8 after breaking into SJ's Liquor and Vape Shop around 2 a.m. Police found him shirtless inside the store when they responded to a burglary report. Gilbert was arrested without incident after he crawled through a shattered glass door. He is charged with burglary, which is a felony, and faces a potential 20-year prison sentence. Gilbert appeared in court via Zoom and decided to represent himself, but the judge appointed the public defender's office to represent him. He was granted bond at $5,000, with a $500 payment required for release, and is scheduled for another court appearance next month. …Back with final thoughts after Break: Henssler 60 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

What good is a program unless it is effective? After interviewing the team members of the Veteran Treatment Court, it only seems appropriate to interview someone that has been through the program. Jay and Donna were honored to have a chat with US Army Veteran, George Wolf. After slipping into the service at age 16, he thoroughly enjoyed his job as a 13E (part of a field artillery unit). He left the military in 1988 and after the death of his parents in his early 20s, he struggled with mental health on and off for 28 years. In 2016, he found himself arrested on 5 charges and facing jail time. Through the efforts of a Colonel that believed in him, he was given the opportunity to enter the newly established Veteran Treatment Court. “Wolf”, as he prefers to be called, openly discusses his struggles, the challenges of the Veteran Treatment Court, how tough love saved his life, and what he is doing now to give back.

As Veterans, we are all aware of the difficulties transition poses. Sometimes, Veterans are coming out with unhealed trauma so severe it is leading them to make decisions that result in legal issues. Fortunately, the civilian legal system saw that these Veterans were struggling from military trauma and decided to offer them a second chance. In 2013, the Veteran Treatment Court was established. Since then, most counties in every state have implemented this program. In 2015, Judge Stephens saw the need and established a VTC for Comal County in Texas. Donna and Jay talk with Judge Stephens about Veteran Treatment Court, what led him to bring it to his county, how it is structured, and what the future looks like. You'll also learn a few fun facts about Judge Stephens throughout the podcast. Trust us, you'll be surprised.

An interview with a leaders of the Michigan Association of Treatment Court Professionals about the state's Treatment Court association, its history, what the association is doing now, and what is in its future.
District Attorney Stephen Dwight sits down with Judge Kendrick Guidry and Bill Williams, LPC, to discuss Veteran's Treatment Court. This specialty court aims to help Veterans with criminal offenses, get back on the right path through mentorship, counseling, and much more. This episode is packed with community resources and gives an in depth look on how the 14th Judicial District and various community partners, gives their full support to Veterans participating in Veteran's Treatment Court.
Today on the show, Hunter is joined by David Pelletier, a Project Director in the Justice for Veterans division of the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, to discuss Veteran Treatment Courts. Founded by a lone judge in Buffalo, New York, Veteran Treatment Courts follow in the 30+ year tradition of broader treatment courts. These courts all seek to offer alternatives to incarceration that drive towards the root causes of someone's involvement with the criminal legal system through a culturally competent lens. For Veteran's Treatment Court, the goal is to offer veterans suffering with acute medical needs a path towards recovery through a process that saves them from lengthy counter productive prison stints. As David shares, these individualized courts that drive at eliminating the root causes that landed someone tied up with the legal system. Yet while the success of the courts is not in question, the courts offer much more for communities to consider. In many places, communities find themselves holding two thing ideals: they should be tough on crime, but they should also be caring to their veteran populations, and this is where Veteran Treatment Courts have so much potential. By adopting Veteran Treatment Courts, these communities are exposed to the power of viewing each person through a holistic and individualized lens. Hopefully, this may lead communities to consider other treatment courts or even expanding access to care before someone ever becomes entangled with the legal system. After this conversation, you will hopefully walk away feeling inspired to think about the ways you could help kickstart similar non-carceral interventions in your own community!! Guests: David Pelletier, Project Director, National Association of Drug Court Professionals, Justice For Veterans Division, Marine Corps Veteran Key Topics and Takeaways: David's journey from the Marine Corps to Justice for Veterans [5:38] What is Veteran Treatment Court? [8:28] Why do we need a Veteran Treatment Court [14:37] How can Veteran Treatment Court help criminal justice reform more broadly? [28:40] How to start a Veteran Treatment Court and what are the benefits of doing so [32:45] How to represent and relate to a veteran in the legal profession [43:00] Generational Differences and ongoing issues amongst the Veteran Community [46:40] Resources: Justice for Veterans Website State of The American Veteran Survey Search for Veteran Status Brock Hunter Special Considerations for Representing Veterans Brock Hunter's guide to representing Veterans Porter V. McCollum, 558 US 30 – Supreme Court 2009 A lawyer provides ineffective assistance of counsel if he or she does not investigate a client's military service and present aspects of it as potential mitigating factors.12 The Court held that not only was it relevant that the veteran-defendant had “extensive combat experience” and had “served honorably under extreme hardship and gruesome conditions,” but also “that the jury might find mitigating the intense stress and mental and emotional toll that combat took” on the defendant. One of Hunter's former guests, Travis Wiener is helped with the making of this really awesome documentary. While it is not in any way affiliated with the Veterans for Justice group, Hunter felt like it was a powerful resource for people to gain insight onto some of the challenges Iraq and Afghanistan veterans face.

The Lethbridge Drug Treatment Court is contained within the criminal justice system and operates within the same legal framework that governs all adult criminal court proceedings in the Provincial Court of Alberta. The drug court operates based on a guilty plea with a delayed sentencing process (s.720 (2) of the Criminal Code) with entry being dependent on the consent of the Crown, Court, and the Accused. The Lethbridge Drug Treatment Court program is founded on national and international principles for drug treatment courts, is committed to community justice and restoration and are a support service program under the direction of McMan Youth, Family and Community Services Association. The speaker will talk about what the court is, how it operates, and the expectations and model of the program. Speaker: Chelsey De Groot and Brett Carlson My Blackfoot name is Naamiitaapii Aahkkoiyiiniimaki. I hold a Master of Arts in Leadership, Bachelor of Applied Arts in Justice Studies, and a Diploma in Child and Youth Care and General Studies. I have spent the past 15 years working with vulnerable populations in various capacities such as family preservation, youth mentorship, as well as with individuals experiencing homelessness. My career shifted to the Supervised Consumption Site where I created and lead a program called I'taamohkanoohsin, meaning “everyone comes together. This program was created in partnership with Blackfoot Elders and the Lethbridge Police to assist vulnerable, street involved individuals in re-connecting to their culture. This program also allowed us to travel to surrounding communities to share knowledge about the Blackfoot people. I'taamohkanoohsin expanded to our Hip Hop for Healing program which allowed vulnerable people to create, record and perform their music, creating a space for alternative healing through music. I am also an Instructor at the Lethbridge College, teaching inmates at the Lethbridge Correctional Centre and Medicine Hat Remand Centre and The Regional Director for Drug Treatment Courts in Southern Alberta. Brett Carlson earned a BA from the University of Regina, later graduating with an LLB from the University of Victoria.

Six. That was the number of black bags Army Veteran Frederick Bourjaily and his comrades carried back to base after completing his first operation control assignment while serving in the Vietnam War. And though the experience happened over half-a-century ago, that memory lingers deeply in Bourjaily's mind today.Bourjaily shares this story precisely because he wants others to hear it. He wants today's young service members and military prospects to understand what war is like and to be prepared for all its brutality. He also wants Veterans who may be coping with their own traumas to know that they will never be alone.In this episode of Borne the Battle, Bourjaily shares what his war time experience was like while also being a father, and some ways he continues to help the Veteran community today as the national commander of the Combat Infantrymen's Association. More than just being a group that brings together Veterans who received the Combat Infantryman Badge, Bourjaily leads the group agitating for military-oriented legislative reform in political arenas.Bourjaily was also a mentor with the Genesee County, Michigan Veterans Treatment Court.These Veteran-oriented courts – which regularly coordinate with VA – help many Veterans who commit non-violent offenses avoid falling into a cycle of trouble with the law. And Bourjaily helped Veterans who participated in this program follow a strict but manageable plan to get their lives back on track and get their crimes expunged from their record.Bourjaily struggled to readjust to civilian life because of the images he saw while serving. But he argues that the help he received from Veteran support groups, including the services provided by VA, helped him tremendously. He hopes that other Veterans will take the step to reach out for help as he did. Veterans like him are ready to assist.Borne the Battle Veteran of the Week:Navy Veteran Kimberly Mitchell Additional Links: Want an idea of what treatment court is like?

According to a report from the US Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, nearly 8% of all inmates serving time in state and federal prisons and local jails are veterans. Despite making up a sizeable portion of the criminal justice system, diversion options specific to veterans are few and far between. In 2008 however Judge Robert Russell, the presiding judge of the Buffalo Drug and Mental health Courts, established the Nation’s first Veterans Treatment Court intended to provide structure and rehabilitation for military men and women. In 2016, Johnson County followed suit and established the first and only Veteran’s Treatment Court in Kansas. Now, with eyes on criminal justice reform across the counrty, several legal leaders in Kansas are encouraging more of these treatment courts be adopted across the state.
