Here are the top 3 stories in Marietta today:

1. Marietta's police and fire departments will receive $127,750 for employees to attend sessions with a crisis counselor. The funds come from the Ohio First Responder Recruitment, Retention, and Resilience Program — a program stemming from House Bill 169, which Ohio Representative Don Jones co-sponsored. Jones said, "I have been a volunteer fireman and EMT for nearly 30 years, so I understand how difficult it can be for first responders to cope with certain crises." (Subscription: Marietta Times)
2. Professional archeologist Wesley Clarke will be presenting at the Civil War Round Table of the Mid-Ohio Valley in Marietta on Nov. 17. His presentation, titled “The Trouble With Monuments,” will focus on the symbolism, issues, and concerns of such monuments. The event will be held at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall at 7:00 p.m. (Subscription: Marietta Times)
