Caleb Sinnwell was nominated as a Beck's Player with Heart for his commitment and passion on and off the field and course. What he loves most about high school sports is connecting with his friends, peers, and coaches through practices and meets while working hard to reach his goals. Caleb is involved in FCCLA, National Honor Society, Blood Drive Committee, National History Day as a mentor/helper, varsity cross country, varsity track & field, and choir. When he is not in school or sports, Caleb spends his time volunteering for many different events such as his local VFW Post, Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall, lonia T-ball program, Nashua Fire Department, cleaning yards for friends and neighbors, giving speeches for organizations and to students, and the Library of Congress. Agriculture means the world to Caleb as he has grown up surrounded by it his entire life. He loves working with their pigs on their farrow-to-finish hog operation and helping bring in the harvest during the fall. Farming has provided him with a strong work ethic and a tough mindset. He learned not to be afraid of projects and can tackle anything that comes his way. After graduating high school, Caleb plans to attend Northwest Iowa Community College for the powerline technology and lineman programs. Upon college graduation, his dream is to work for Butler County Rural Electric Cooperative. He wants to remain close to Nashua as he desires to continue farming and become a volunteer firefighter for the Nashua Fire Department to serve his community as his father and grandfather did.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alex Murillo, a Navy veteran and son of Mexican immigrants, was brought to the U.S. as a toddler and served two tours in Iraq as a jet mechanic. After returning home in 2000, he struggled with PTSD and civilian life, leading to a 2009 conviction for marijuana possession with intent to distribute. Deported to Mexico in 2011, he was separated from his family of four but was allowed to return to the U.S. in 2022. Now, he seeks to assist other deported veterans. Livier "Livvy" Lazaro, a first-generation Mexican American, joined the military at 17 and served as an Army Combat medic in Iraq during the 2003 invasion and again in 2007. She retired as Sergeant First Class after 20 years and became the first female Commander of VFW Post 7420 in San Diego. As part of the VFW, a nonprofit veterans service organization, Livvy played a key role in passing a national directive to help bring home deported veterans.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars organization is an unrivaled source of past and living  military history.  I had the honor of visiting VFW Post 101 in Colorado Springs, CO, where I met Army SFC (Ret) Keith Francis.  Keith grew up in Alexandria, LA.  In 1974, he attended Grambling State University.  After getting a little burned out on school, he talked to an Army recruiter and swore in at the Shreveport, LA MEPS in 1976.  He attended Basic at Ft. Jackson, SC and was branched into the Air Defense.  After completing AIT at Ft. Bliss, TX he was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division at Giebelstadt, Germany. His following assignments included the 7ID at Ft. Ord, CA, the 2ID at Uijeongbu, South Korea, the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at Ft. Campbell, KY, the 25th ID at Schofield Barracks, HI, and the 4ID at Ft. Carson, CO.  Keith retired from active duty in 1996.

CALEA, established in 1979, aims to enhance public safety services by maintaining professional standards supporting accreditation programs. Kennesaw's qualification for the fifth consecutive time reflects exceptional leadership by Chief Bill Westenberger, officer performance, and community-based policing success. Mayor Derek Easterling commended the 911 Center's exceptional work, highlighting Director Nikki McGraw's flawless leadership. CALEA emphasizes best practices, safety initiatives, crime prevention, fair personnel practices, and community trust-building. The assessment involves proving compliance with approximately 500 standards, and both departments underwent successful re-accreditation, showcasing their commitment to excellence.   STORY 2: 'Outstanding': Marietta Recognized By State Department Of Community Affairs Marietta has been newly recognized as one of Georgia's PlanFirst communities by the Department of Community Affairs. This designation, based on outstanding community engagement and successful implementation of the Local Comprehensive Plan for the 2024-2026 cycle, comes with benefits such as enhanced eligibility for incentives like reduced interest loans and Community Development Block Grants for schools. Marietta and Hawkinsville are the latest additions to PlanFirst, joining renewing communities like Bainbridge, Cornelia, and Perry. The designation, lasting three years from January 2024, is available to communities with Qualified Local Government status and an adopted Service Delivery Strategy. Visit www.dca.ga.gov for more information on PlanFirst and application requirements. STORY 3: Cobb Charities Work to Fight Rising Childhood Poverty Childhood poverty in Cobb, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, more than doubled from 2021 to 2022. MUST Ministries CEO Dr. Dwight "Ike" Reighard highlighted the significant impact on Cobb's children during a talk to the East Cobb Area Council. MUST Ministries, which gave away one ton of food daily in 2019, now distributes approximately four and a half tons daily, with much going to children. Reighard emphasized the importance of collaboration among local charities to combat poverty. He addressed misconceptions about poverty, noting that many affected individuals work multiple jobs. The Cobb community, with an abundance mentality and collaborative spirit, is working together to address this growing issue. MUST Ministries invites community members to volunteer. Visit mustministries.org for more information.     We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Each family received a substantial selection, including a 10-14 pound turkey, green beans, corn, rice, pumpkin, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables, and stuffing. Approximately 23,000 pounds of food were donated, with a line stretching back to Cedarcrest Church. Chapter 25-8 played a crucial role in traffic control and distribution. The goal is to donate 8,500 turkeys across Cobb County, ensuring a proper holiday for as many people as possible. The event aimed to support those experiencing food insecurity during the holiday season, reflecting the charitable spirit of veterans.   STORY 5: Organizers Say Turkey Chase In Acworth May Break Record The 15th annual Turkey Chase in Acworth drew hundreds of runners for a 5K and 2K on a cool sunny day. The potential record turnout, estimated at 800 to 1,000 runners, resulted in a significant number of food donations benefiting the Tackle Hunger program. Pre-registration surpassed last year's total, with approximately 775 participants, and an expected total close to 900. Proceeds from the event will support Hull Heights, a Marietta Housing Authority community, providing canned goods and $10 Ingles gift cards for Thanksgiving. Participants filled a trailer with donated food, contributing to the city's goal of assisting local food pantries during the holiday season.   We'll be back in a moment  Break: DRAKE – INGLES 8   STORY 6: Georgia Seeing High Flu-Like Activity, Cobb Health Director Says Dr. Janet Memark, the director of Cobb & Douglas Public Health, warns of high flu-like activity in Georgia, with 19 flu-related hospitalizations in metro Atlanta over the past two weeks. Memark emphasizes the availability of flu shots at all CDPH locations as the best defense against the flu. Additionally, she reports 161 new COVID-19 cases in Cobb and 41 in Douglas County over the last two weeks. Memark highlights the availability of the updated COVID vaccine for everyone, stressing its importance, especially for older adults and those with chronic medical conditions. STORY 7: Maker of Hand Sanitizing Machines in Cobb Schools Files for Bankruptcy Carmel-based company 3Oe Scientific, maker of hand-sanitizing machines used by Cobb County School District, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company lists nearly $8.1 million in liabilities and $118,814 in assets. The handwashing machines, known as Iggy, were part of a $12 million initiative in 2020 to combat COVID-19 in Cobb schools. Critics, including the Watching the Funds — Cobb watchdog group, claim the devices have broken at multiple schools, calling it a "complete waste of money." Despite the bankruptcy, the school district maintains a warranty contract with 3Oe Scientific for repairs and replacements to Iggy devices.

As State Adjutant for VFWs of Wisconsin, Mr. Wallace knows a thing or two about the history of these establishments and what they have to offer. We discuss how the Veterans of Foreign Wars posts were originally established in the wake of the first World War, how they function as a community resource for not only these veterans, but the entire community. We talk about how the posts get their numbers and names, the similarities and differences among them, how they relate with American Legion posts, how they serve as a gathering place and support center for veterans who have fought overseas, and how the general public is welcome. VFW Posts and Halls have great little bars in them with friendly patrons and fascinating history. Many offer a variety of menu options from their kitchen as well as event space that proves popular for everything from community meetings to wedding receptions. These VFWs across Wisconsin are part of a network across the nation and indeed the globe where these common themes are woven together. Adam, Ana, and Eric discuss some particular posts, sharing stories and stats that will help you notice the VFW posts and halls you see in your town and on your travels.
