STORY 1 wreck
A morning collision near Cobb County's Town Center area left two individuals injured, one with severe injuries. The incident happened on Barrett Parkway, close to its intersection with Bells Ferry Road. A 63-year-old Marietta woman was driving a black 2004 Buick Rainer west on Piedmont Road (which becomes Barrett Parkway) towards Bells Ferry Road. Simultaneously, a 28-year-old Cartersville man was eastbound on Barrett Parkway on a black 2022 Harley Davidson Heritage Classic motorcycle. The motorcyclist turned left onto Bells Ferry Road, crossing the path of the Buick, resulting in a collision. The motorcyclist was ejected and suffered serious injuries, while the Buick's driver sustained minor injuries. Both were transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. The incident is currently under investigation. Witnesses can contact Cobb police at 770-499-3987.

Story 2: budget
The Mableton City Council has approved a two-and-a-half-day retreat hosted by the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) to work on the city's first budget and hiring an executive assistant. The retreat is scheduled for September 14-16 at GMA's headquarters in Atlanta. While the retreat was approved in a split vote, some council members expressed concerns about the cost and location. There was also a discussion about hiring a "mission and vision specialist" to assist with crafting a mission statement, but this decision was tabled for a later date. The retreat is seen as a necessary step in establishing Mableton as a functioning city government, with a budget being a top priority. Initially, there was a misconception that GMA's facilities and expertise would be free, but it was revealed to cost $750 per day, totaling around $1,875 for the retreat. Some council members raised concerns that holding the retreat outside of Mableton would make it difficult for constituents to provide input.
Story 3: principal
Keynun Campbell, the new principal of Marietta Sixth Grade Academy (MSGA), was inspired to become an educator by his grandfather, Willie Campbell, a high school administrator. Keynun began his career as a special education teacher and worked his way up to becoming a principal. He has now taken on the role of principal at MSGA, where he aims to prepare students for the transition from elementary to middle school. Campbell's background as a high school educator allows him to bring a unique perspective to help students grow as they approach middle and high school. He also plans to expand the school's STEAM lab and utilize the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program to offer a challenging curriculum to students. Overall, he is excited to be part of a district that focuses on community involvement and collaboration......…..(pause)

STORY 5: cars
Students at East Cobb Middle School have customized ride-on cars for children with limited mobility as part of the Go Baby Go Club. The program, inspired by a nationwide initiative, provides modified cars to kids who have mobility limitations. The club at East Cobb Middle School was started with a $5,000 grant from the Cobb Tank competition, and they've been able to buy and modify eight cars so far.
