STORY 1 life
A Marietta man, John Galczynski (68), has been sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 69 years and one year of probation for his conviction on charges of rape and child molestation. The Cobb District Attorney Flynn Broady Jr. announced the sentencing after a jury found Galczynski guilty. The case involved a minor disclosing a sexual assault to her therapist, revealing that Galczynski had repeatedly raped her from a young age. K-9 Rose, the DA's comfort dog, aided in preparing the victim for trial. Another victim testified that Galczynski had raped her from the age of 11 to 19. The successful collaboration between law enforcement, SafePath Children's Advocacy Center, and the jury ensured justice for the victims and prevented further victimization.

Story 2: crash
Major Andrew Mettler, a Marine pilot, tragically lost his life when his F/A-18D Hornet fighter jet crashed near Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Hailing from Marietta, Mettler was involved in routine training as a member of Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 224. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Major Mettler, stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, joined the Marines in 2007 and received several awards throughout his career. Fellow Marines and commanders, including Maj. Gen. Scott Benedict, expressed their condolences, remembering his skill and leadership. Mettler was the sole person on the jet, and there are indications he ejected before the crash. His legacy will be honored as Marines continue to uphold the values he stood for.

STORY 5: ksu
Kennesaw State University's Marietta campus has unveiled a newly renovated recreation and wellness center, with around 50% of the 36,000-square-foot facility receiving a $7.4 million makeover. The enhancements include new exercise equipment, a study room, fitness studio, and racquetball courts. Over 70 new strength and cardiovascular machines have been added, making up 83% of the facility's equipment. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, university leaders expressed their enthusiasm for the upgraded space. The renovation project began in October 2022 and is part of ongoing efforts to improve the campus. Students consider the center a vital part of their experience, fostering connections and promoting well-being.
Story 6: owls
As Kennesaw State University's football team transitions from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), they are adopting a flexible approach to lineups. The team plans to adjust their lineup based on opponents and specific goals set by the coaching staff. This strategy aims to redshirt as many players as possible, not just freshmen, by making use of a rule that allows players to participate in up to four regular season games without losing a year of eligibility. This approach will be influenced by the nature of the opponents, with stronger lineups against tougher teams and more experimental lineups for certain matchups. This method is designed to protect players' eligibility and provide valuable experience for emerging talents.
