Good morning, people of Marietta! It's me again, Dan Casarella, your host of the Marietta Daily.

First, today's weather:

Clouds giving way to some sun. High: 36 Low: 28.

Here are the top three stories in Marietta today:

1. For those looking for a job in the Marietta area, new openings have become available. They include jobs at The Heritage Group, Cornerstone Protection Group, and Patrice & Associates. See the full listing of available opportunities in the link. (Marietta Patch)
2. A new series at the Campus Martius Museum lets patrons celebrate traditional art forms. Over the weekend, the "Nitty Gritty" series taught a class on using paper to make crafts through traditional materials found at home.
