A woman has been convicted of illegally issuing prescriptions for controlled substances over several months in Cherokee County, and now four others have been indicted on charges connected to the operation. Leslie Archambault, 47, from Woodstock, was sentenced in January to three years of prison followed by 12 years of probation, after pleading guilty to violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, according to court documents. Archambault elected to resolve her case before the case was indicted, so prosecutors proceeded with an accusation, said Cyndi Crossland, spokesperson for the district attorney's office. According to prosecutors, Archambault, who was employed by a doctor, repeatedly used a doctor's prescription pad to issue fraudulent prescriptions in the name and on the behalf of herself and others who had never been the doctor's patients. False prescriptions were issued, between Jan. 2 and Oct. 6, 2022, for medications including Adderall, hydrocodone, Xanax, phentermine, and tramadol. An indictment, filed Feb. 14, alleges that the group of associates includes, but is not limited to, Archambault, Jessica Weaver, Cathy Hudson and Jeffrey and Gina Moson. Weaver, Hudson and Jeffrey and Gina Moson are charged with one count of violating the RICO Act. In the indictment, prosecutors say the four defendants allegedly conspired with Archambault to illegally obtain prescription medication. According to the indictment, activities to support the prescription drug fraud included theft, forgery, identity fraud and violations of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. A Canton man is behind bars after police say he shot into a car and injured two teenagers. Canton police responded to the area of Hickory Knoll Drive and Oakside Drive at about 12:59 p.m. Wednesday in response to a firearm discharge call, the department reported in a press release. There, they found two injured teens inside a car. After further investigation police identified the shooter as Jacob Garcia, 18, from Canton, authorities said. Garcia was arrested at his home at 7:10 p.m. without incident. According to his arrest warrant, Garcia is charged with shooting multiple times into a car with the two teens inside. A 17-year-old was shot in the pelvic area, causing damage to the bone, Canton Police Department said in the warrant. A 15-year-old was hit by shrapnel in his arm and had lacerations. Both were treated at a local hospital, and the teen who was shot was in stable condition Thursday, police said. Garcia is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Thursday, Garcia remained in custody at the Cherokee County jail without bond, according to the Cherokee Sheriff's Office. The Cherokee County School District recently won awards from a state public relations association for communications and community engagement. CCSD earned five “Best in State” trophies and 14 Gold Awards at the Georgia School Public Relations Association's annual awards program last month, the district announced. The district earned Gold Awards across the board in categories including annual report, crisis communications, excellence in writing, handbook, newsletter, photography, social media, special event, special publication and videography electronic media. CCSD won the “Best in State” award in crisis communications for strategies to correct misinformation including its Fact vs. Fiction website, excellence in writing for its Teacher of the Year winner profiles, newsletter for its monthly District Delegate magazine-style newsletter for employees (a second consecutive win), special events for its annual Support Staff Employees of the Year recognition program and special publication for its annual Class Act magazine. While the awards reflect work primarily by CCSD's Office of Communications, other divisions also were honored with awards. The Office of Technology and Information Services earned its third consecutive Gold Award for its monthly newsletter for CCSD employees, and the Office of Financial Management earned a Silver Award for its annual budget report. To see the winning publications and projects, visit Cherokee K 12 dot net. With 30 seconds left on the clock, David Hansraj sank one of the most clutch shots of his career. He drilled a 3-pointer to tie the game at 50-50, but with 20 seconds still on the clock, it wasn't even the biggest shot of the night. River Ridge's defense got a stop and a rebound, and as time ticked down, Jay McCord got to the 3-point line, pulled up and connected. McCord's shot gave the Knights a last-second 53-50 win. Hansraj finished as the Knights' leading scorer in the first-round win, picking up 17 points. McCord had 13 points, Greyson Hopf had eight points and Jackson Head tallied seven. Head's presence was critical in keeping the Panthers' big men contained, though he fouled out with four minutes remaining in the game. Coach Aaron Darling praised his team for sustaining the lead and keeping the defensive pressure up without one of their best players down the stretch. The buzzer-beating win was a massive energy and confidence boost for River Ridge after it fell in the Region 6AAAAAA championship game to Etowah. The Knights travel to Blessed Trinity for Round 2 on Saturday. Day campers at the new LB "The Buzz" Ahrens Recreation Center have enjoyed the rock wall, basketball court and other activities during Cherokee Recreation and Parks' Non-Stop Action Break Camp.

Cherokee started fast in Wednesday's 59-45 first-round home playoff win over West Forsyth. The Warriors scored 24 points in the opening quarter and overcame the absence of their top interior presence Dastin Hart. Nate Speaks got the start in place of Hart and provided valuable minutes as a disruptor inside. Cherokee also turned to a smaller lineup with Hayden Darko seeing the floor, who hit some key shots in the second quarter. Coach Veihman credited Speaks' defense for sparking Cherokee in the second half after it came out of the locker room slow on offense. Speaks forcefully blocked a shot on West Forsyth's first possession of the game and sent two more shots away in the second half. Cameron Pope's scoring was huge for the Warriors. He jump-started their offense with 10 first-quarter points, including a pair of 3-pointers. Pope finished with a game-high 20 points and connected on four 3-pointers. Behind Pope, Tayden Owens scored nine points, with Braylin Giddens, Lawrence Sanford and Darko all with eight points. The Warriors will host Berkmar on Saturday after the Patriots upset Buford 58-53 on Wednesday night. #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews - - - - - - The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County.

Four nonprofit organizations in metro Atlanta have received donations from Delta Community Credit Union toward their respective mission to support local youth education. The credit union invested $35,000 in the educational services organizations Wednesday, kicking off the 10th year of its “Philanthropic Fund” awards. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta was awarded $10,000 to support its “Big Futures” curriculum, which emphasizes college and career exploration for students in grades 8 through 12. The organization, which offers one-to-one mentoring relationships for area youth, serves families in 12 metro Atlanta counties including Cherokee County. Another $10,000 was awarded to Communities in Schools of Atlanta, a dropout prevention organization that partners with 63 schools in economically challenged areas across Atlanta Public Schools, as well as Clayton County, DeKalb County, and Fulton County Public Schools. The grant will help provide wraparound services and intensive case management to nearly 2,800 students and support the organization's College and Career Readiness Program. Breakthrough Atlanta also received $10,000 to support its Vox Teen Voices program, which offers free afterschool and summer workshops for Atlanta teens. Mental Fitness 21st Century Learning received $5,000 to support its STEAM Academy, which allows many students who lack access to quality, affordable afterschool programs to participate in a STEAM curriculum that includes drones and robotics. Cherokee County and four of its cities have received a federal grant for the creation of a transportation safety plan to improve pedestrian safety. Cherokee County, Canton, Holly Springs, Woodstock and Ball Ground were awarded a $450,000 action plan grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safe Streets and Roads for All program on Feb. 1. The grant was part of $800 million in awards for 510 projects through the first round of funding for the program, which provides funding for regional and local jurisdictions to develop a transportation safety action plan aimed at improving road designs to better sidewalks and crosswalks to prevent deaths and serious injuries on the nation's roadways. Day told the Tribune Friday that the public can expect to see the plan in 2024. The next steps are to complete grant award agreements and procure a consultant to complete the study. The study will likely begin later this year, he said. The plan will determine what projects and countermeasures are needed to improve the safety of the county's transportation system, Day said. With this plan and list of projects, the county and the cities can then set forth a strategy and timeline to complete the projects. Day added that the plan will likely make recommendations on intersection, signalization and pedestrian facilities improvements, among other possibilities. Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services promoted two firefighters Thursday night at the Cherokee County Fire Training Complex. Fire Apparatus Operator Justin Martin was promoted to the rank of sergeant and Sgt. Nicholas Spain was promoted to the rank of lieutenant.

CCSD panel says parents need to monitor kids' internet activities

Parents need to be aware of what's going on in their kids' lives online, in addition to offline, panelists at a Cherokee County School District forum said Tuesday. As part of its Parent University series, CCSD brought in professionals from the school district, a school police officer, a counselor and a prosecutor to discuss cyberbullying and social media's impact on local students. Panelists agreed that parents need to have conversations with their children about the internet and social media, and create a safe environment where children can come to them if there's a problem. A poll of attendees showed 76% of parents had not had a child disclose that they had been cyberbullied. Unlike previous generations who could leave their problems with peers when they went home from school, with social media, bullying follows today's students home, hurting their mental health. High school students are less confident than they were before social media, Creekview High School Principal Michael Santoro said. Ashley Snow, a Cherokee County deputy chief assistant district attorney for juvenile court, warned that the internet can give children access to content that's not appropriate for kids. Many young children, as young as 9, are exposed to child pornography, she said, and some try to act out or experiment with behavior that “breaks families apart.” It's also common for children to share information with strangers on the internet, not realizing the risks, Snow said. She recommended that parents restrict their children's access to the internet, video game devices and cell phones. If a child sends explicit content to another person, it “absolutely” should be reported, Dobbs said, even if it's to another minor. To report cyberbullying or another issue to school officials, parents and students can use CCSD's Vector Alert system, and can submit reports anonymously. The system isn't 24/7, Murdock said, but officials will respond quickly. People can also report to a teacher or counselor, or to a school administrator. Athletes from all six Cherokee County high schools celebrated the annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day on January 30 at Woodstock High School. More than 500 female athletes participated as NGWSD recognized the contributions they made in their sports and celebrated their positive influence on the landscape. The day is celebrated in all 50 states, and Cherokee County has hosted its own event since 2005. Each year, the program chooses a coach to honor for their contributions and support of the area's female athletes. Woodstock athletic director Julie Crowe earned this year's award and was also acknowledged for her 20 years as the Wolverines' girls' basketball coach. Cherokee County's 18 female wrestlers were recognized with the Trailblazer award for their participation in a historically male-dominated sport. Each school had an Athlete of the Year recipient, along with an alumna and team of the year. Cherokee's Athlete of the Year was Lexi Pavese, Creekview's was Anslie Pettit and Astrid Medina was honored from Etowah. Mataya Gayle was River Ridge's honoree, Laurel Blase earned the award from Sequoyah and Hannah Obenauf was Woodstock's winner. Creekview also honored alumna Alivia Mynes, who was tragically lost in a car accident in 2022. Nine Cherokee County football players put pen to paper Wednesday, signing their national letters of intent to join collegiate football programs. Etowah led the way with three signees, followed by Creekview, River Ridge and Sequoyah with two. Etowah kicker Carson Allen made one of the biggest splashes, signing with a Southeastern Conference school in Mississippi State. He was a five-star kicker as rated by Kohl's Kicking, and he was the No. 42-ranked kicker in the class of 2023. Etowah also had two defensive backs sign Wednesday, with Frank Mosley going to West Virginia State and Jamir Maxime to Reinhardt. Sequoyah also had a pair of defensive backs sign in Cantrell Davis (Tuskegee) and Ridley Joseph (Concordia-St. Paul). Creekview, offensive/defensive lineman Anthony Caraballo inked his letter with Huntingdon, while fullback/defensive lineman Jacob Hefner signed as a preferred walk-on at Furman. Defensive lineman Ethan Anderson (Warner) and offensive lineman Reed Albers (Centre) were River Ridge's signees. Woodstock did not have any signees Wednesday, though it had two players sign with Division I programs during the early signing period in Adonis Garcia (Wofford) and Tyler Douthit (Samford). Cherokee is expected to have two players sign on a later date in Kyan Simmons and Ryane Martin. Canton Mayor Bill Grant is "excited" to address the Interstate 575 exit at Hickory Flat Highway into the city this year, he told attendees at a Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce event Thursday. Grant, Canton City Council members Brooke Schmidt, JoEllen Wilson and Shawn Tolan, and City Manager Billy Peppers shared updates about the city with local community and business leaders at the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce's Good Morning Cherokee meeting Thursday. Grant, the council members and Peppers shared a number of statistics and bullet points showcasing how Canton has grown and continues to grow with the guidance of the city's "Roadmap to Success." The eight tenets of the city's roadmap are: Creating Great Neighborhoods Celebrating the Diversity of Our Community Advancing Regional Economic Success Enhancing Historic Downtown Canton Sustaining Our Natural Environment Connecting Citizens to Parks and Recreation Improving Infrastructure for Future Demands Leading with Excellence In 2022, Canton saw its population grow to over 35,000 — about five times its 2000 population, which was 7,000, Peppers said. The number of city employees also grew to 134, and the city changed its starting base compensation for employees to $20 an hour. To address housing needs, last year in addition to approving private housing developments, Canton officials committed $2.8 million in a low interest loan for the Shipp Street housing redevelopment. The city also entered into an agreement with the Canton Housing Authority for $1 million in support for a 9% low-income housing tax credits application. Susan Treadaway has taken an administrative oath as Cherokee County's acting district attorney, after former District Attorney Shannon Wallace was sworn in as a Superior Court judge. Chief Superior Court Judge Ellen McElyea swore in Susan Treadaway as acting district attorney of the Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit serving Cherokee County January 31, the district attorney's office announced. Katie Gropper was sworn in as chief assistant district attorney. Treadaway was previously the chief assistant district attorney. The design phase includes field surveys and survey database, environmental documentation including all required special studies, geotechnical, preliminary construction plans, as well as lighting and right-of-way plans (including revisions) for the improvements at I-575 at the Ridgewalk Parkway interchange, according to city documents. The change comes after Governor Brian Kemp swore in Wallace in Atlanta Jan. 30. Kemp appointed Wallace to the newly created fourth judicial seat on the Superior Court. Treadaway will hold the position of acting district attorney pending Governor Kemp's appointment of Wallace's successor. There was a three-way tie for the 2023 STAR Student for Cherokee County this year. Griffen Bon and Braden Flournoy from Cherokee High School, as well as Avi Stein from Etowah High School, were recognized last week at the annual STAR Student and Teacher Recognition Ceremony hosted at the Canton Theatre by the Canton Lions Club, which has been the local sponsor since the STAR program began in 1958. The winners were announced last Tuesday at a program sponsored by the Canton Lions Club at the Historic Canton Theater. They were selected from the eight STAR Students named for each of the seven high schools in Cherokee County. The Cherokee County School District recognizes its high school students with the highest SAT scores and their teachers through the Student Teacher Achievement Recognition program.

A Mormon Ponzi Scheme, Bong Water Petitions, and Formula 1 Racing

It's time for our Friday roundup of the news — and good lord, is there news to discuss this week. Co-hosts Vogue Robinson and Dayvid Figler join producer Layla Muhammad to get into it. First up, a story from the Washington Post that continues the work of slain RJ investigative reporter Jeff German: It's the sweeping tale of a massive Ponzi scheme that targeted the Mormon community… for FIVE years. So how were they so successful for so long? Next, we get into the weeds of a lawsuit that the Community Schools Initiative, a PAC that advocates for breaking up CCSD, has leveled against the company they hired to gather petition signatures. They say the company collected so many invalid signatures(including some papers that were burnt and smelled like “bong water”) that the petition was nixed. And last (but not least!), it looks like Formula 1 racing will be signing a 10-year contract with Clark County — so how do we feel about that? Have you encountered a Ponzi scheme in Las Vegas?

For Thursday's opening, private security and Woodstock Police Department officers were present at the restaurant. Officers at #Whataburger said that traffic along Highway 92 continued to move smoothly throughout the day. Cones were placed near the entrance of the restaurant to allow drivers easy access to both Whataburger and Truett's Chick-fil-A next door.The restaurant opened at 11 a.m. Thursday and will remain open 24/7. The Whataburger drive-thru features double lanes and digital menu boards. Dining room access, ordering via the #Whataburger App and Whataburger.com, curbside and delivery will be available within the next few weeks. The #Woodstock location marks the second metro Atlanta opening, after Whataburger opened a restaurant in Kennesaw in November. Nine additional restaurants are planned for the Atlanta area in 2023, according to Whataburger. Planned locations include Cumming, Buford, Athens, Dawsonville and Snellville. The Cherokee County School District announced Wednesday the winners of the district's first #Minecraft Programming Challenge. One winner was selected for the middle school and high school division.

For elementary school, the first-place winner was fourth-grader Brando Bellini of #Bascomb Elementary School, with fourth-grader Everett Hutchins of Sixes Elementary School placing second and fourth-grader Henry Oh of #Avery Elementary School placing third. Winning students were presented with certificates and prizes by #CCSD Instructional Technology Specialist Merry Hofmeister. The challenge, organized by CCSD's Office of Technology and Information Services, builds upon the school district's nationally recognized use of "Minecraft: Education Edition," the school version of the popular video game, to further engage students in learning. For the past three school years, CCSD has sponsored different student challenges using #Minecraft, but this school year it offered the first competition focused on computer programming. Elementary and middle school students from across the district were challenged last semester to use code in Minecraft to program building a home.

The Warriors' best stretch of the season continued as they have beaten teams by an average of 33.9 points since Dec. 30. Cherokee, which remained undefeated in the region and leads Walton and North Cobb in the standings, will search for a regular-season region sweep of each over the next two games. Continuing her stellar junior season, Toni Warren led Cherokee with 24 points against Wheeler. Alex Whitecliffe finished with 16 points, followed by Riley Simmons' 13 points and Elle Kenney's nine. Beyond Warren, multiple contributors have stepped up for Cherokee. Whitecliffe, Simmons, Lyla Griffith and many more have rapidly improved for a lineup riddled with young talent. Cherokee's schedule played a role in getting its young lineup ready for region play. It matched up with River Ridge, Lumpkin County and Lovejoy in the first three weeks of the season, and those three teams have a 51-12 combined record. The Sequoyah Regional Library System held a groundbreaking ceremony January 25 for the Hickory Flat Public Library expansion and renovation.

When it reopens, the library will have more space for books and technology; larger areas for programs, meetings, collaboration and creation, and additional seating for study and quiet reading. Hollandsworth Construction is handling the construction. The total construction contract for the project is $6.7 million and is funded through Cherokee County's Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. Additional funding includes $2 million from a Capital Outlay Grant, administered by the Georgia Public Library Service. The building is closed to the public for the entirety of the construction.

Mill Creek student captures county spelling bee

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 24, 2023 9:07

Thirty Cherokee County elementary and middle school students tested their spelling skills at the 2023 Cherokee County School District Spelling Bee on January 18 at Cherokee High School. Joli Palmquist, an eighth-grade student at Mill Creek Middle School, took home the first-place title and trophy with her accurate spellings of “ascension” and “importunate.” E.T. Booth Middle School's Rohan Pandya earned second place, and Charli Wallace of Creekland Middle School placed third. Palmquist, Pandya and Wallace will all move forward to compete in the regional Georgia Association of Educators spelling bee next month. Winners of the regional bee will advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in June at Washington, D.C. The annual competition put students through 15 rounds across a 90-minute span. Among the extensive list of over 200 words were “indefatigable,” “quittance” and “zoolatry.” The Canton City Council has called for a special election to fill the open seat formerly held by Councilman Will Carlan, who stepped down to become a full-time Cherokee County magistrate judge. Council members unanimously voted Thursday to call for the special election, which will be held in conjunction with the city's general election November 7. The winner of the special election is to take office immediately upon certification of the results. Canton Mayor Bill Grant recommended at the Jan. 5 council meeting that the city council leave the seat vacant until the November election, citing the work the city is doing to change the council ward lines. Council members also unanimously approved qualifying dates and fees for the general and special elections for mayor and city council positions. Terms for a Ward 1 council seat, Ward 2 council seat, Ward 3 council seat and the mayoral seat will expire on December 31, 2023. The special election will be for the vacant Ward 2 seat. Qualifying dates are Aug. 21 to 23. The city's qualifying fee is 3% of the elected position's annual salary: $360 for council members and $540 for mayor. The council also unanimously approved an IGA with the county to conduct the city's election. *** Woodstock Fire and Rescue Chief Dave Soumas is retiring after three decades serving the city, Mayor Michael Caldwell announced Friday. Soumas, who has been fire chief since 2009, is credited with leading the department through many achievements while serving a growing city. He is the longest-tenured chief in the city's history. He began his career at the Woodstock Fire Department in 1988 as a firefighter and EMT, according to the city. In 1994 he was promoted to sergeant and driver engineer, and in 1998 he became a captain and fire marshal. Four months later, he was promoted to assistant chief and fire marshal. Soumas has earned multiple National Board of Fire Service professional qualifications. He earned an Arson Investigation Certificate from Georgia Public Safety Training Center where he received an award for academic excellence. Soumas established special units in the Woodstock Fire Department including the Swiftwater Rescue Team, the Bike Team, and the Technical Rope Team. As fire chief, Soumas ensured every member of the department received state Basic Life Support certification and introduced two rescue trucks. As assistant chief, Soumas oversaw the building of Fire Station 14 in 2001 and the purchase of Woodstock's $1 million ladder truck. Under his leadership, Woodstock Fire and Rescue has an Insurance Services Office rating of 1, the highest score awarded, which indicates the highest level of fire protection for residents and property owners. Woodstock Fire first earned this distinction in 2015, and is one of only 456 departments in the United States with this rating. Two new members were sworn in Thursday to the Cherokee County Board of Education. Erin Ragsdale from Towne Lake and Susan Padgett-Harrison from Canton were sworn in with family members after they were elected to join the school board in November. Ragsdale is a speech language pathologist. She is married to Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce Board Chair Trey Ragsdale, and they have two students in CCSD. Padgett-Harrison is a retired longtime educator and leader in the school district. She has three grandchildren, two of whom teach for CCSD, and 12 grandchildren. School board members John Harmon, from Hickory Flat, and Rick “Steiner” Rechsteiner from southwest Cherokee were also sworn in to serve new terms after they were reelected to their posts. Cherokee County Probate Court Judge Keith Wood administered the school board members' oaths of office. The school board also elected Steiner to serve as its vice chair for the year. The school board chair, Kyla Cromer, is elected by residents countywide, while the other school board seats are elected by district. A mobile home near Woodstock in Cherokee County was destroyed in a fire Friday morning, Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services announced. Cherokee County and Woodstock firefighters responded to a residential structure fire, with Cherokee Sheriff's Office deputies Friday morning, in the area of Mill Creek Road and Arnold Mill Road near River Ridge High School. Firefighters arrived on scene to find a mobile home fully involved, Cherokee Fire reported. No occupants were home at the time of the fire, though the home was destroyed, according to Cherokee Fire spokesman Lt. Michael Sims. Crews continued to work on scene and drivers experienced traffic delays in the area for about an hour. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, Sims said. #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews - - - - - - The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County.

Two students hurt in fight at Daniell Middle School; One student sickened with pepper spray on Park Street Elementary bus

Two students were injured during lunch Tuesday in a fight at Daniel Middle School, the Cobb County School District said. Emergency services responded to the scene and other students and staff were safe. The nature of the students' injuries was not disclosed, with district spokesperson Erich Rauch said he could not provide further details, but reports have come out that a knife was involved. Outside of Daniel Tuesday afternoon, one parent told reporters he came to pick up his daughter early from school because she had witnessed the altercation. She kept telling him that she didn't want to be there any more and begged for someone to pick her up. David Chastain, the Cobb school board member who represents Daniel, declined to go into specifics about the incident when reached by the MDJ. Cobb school board member Randy Scamihorn said the altercation at Daniel is not representative of the broader issues in CCSD. Scamihorn said the school district's police force is “thoroughly competent and outstanding,” and praised the district's teachers and counselors for their work to address students' problems and needs. One student was sickened after another released pepper spray on a Park Street Elementary school bus Tuesday, Marietta City Schools said. The district said first responders “were onsite immediately” to evaluate students and the bus driver, with no major injuries reported. The district did not provide additional information about the incident. The incident caused the bus to be delayed. Superintendent Grant Rivera said the staff responded quickly to this incident and that the district prioritizes safety of students and staff. In a wide-ranging talk to the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff ticked through a laundry list of funding allocations and other legislative wins from his first two years in office. Of particular interest to Cobb were Senator Ossoff's comments about Lockheed Martin's Marietta plant, the neighboring Dobbins Air Reserve Base, and the Chattahoochee River. Senator Ossoff was introduced by Lockheed executive Rod McLean, who leads the Marietta plant, which employs nearly 5,000 people. The plant's flagship program is manufacturing the C-130J Super Hercules, which McLean called “the best tactical airlifter across the globe, ever made.” Senator Ossoff noted that in the 2023 omnibus spending bill, President Joe Biden did not request funding for any new C-130J planes. Senator Ossoff stated that the Georgia delegation and many Senators across the country felt they could not fail to provide guard and reserve units with the tactical airlift capabilities that they need, and that 16 Marietta-made C-130Js to the defense authorization appropriations measures this year. One of the biggest prizes Lockheed hopes to win is a contract to supply the U.S. Air Force with new aerial fuel tankers. Lockheed's LMXT plane, if given the nod, would be partially constructed at the firm's Marietta plant and could add upwards of 1,000 jobs to the 5,000 already employed there. The senator also touted $40 million in new funding he secured to protect the Chattahoochee River, which provides 70% of metro Atlanta's drinking water. The exodus of Cobb County receivers from the University of Georgia continued on Monday when former Walton High School standout Dominick Blaylock entered his name into the transfer portal. Blaylock will leave as a graduate transfer after he earns his expected degree in housing management and policy later this spring. The redshirt junior will have two years of eligibility remaining. The 6-foot-1, 225-pound pass catcher finished the 2022-23 season with 15 receptions for 227 yards and a touchdown. He played in all 15 games and will leave the program with two national championship rings. This past season, was the first in which he remained healthy after coming all the way back from two ACL injuries that cost him the entire 2020 season and much of 2021. With Blaylock's departure, he becomes the third receiver from the county to enter the portal joining former Marietta standout tight end Arik Gilbert, who made the decision before the College Football Playoffs, and former Kennesaw Mountain star tight end Ryland Goede, who made his announcement last week. Goede and Blaylock are close friends, who came to UGA beginning with the 2019 season. As a true freshman, Blaylock was making his mark as a punt returner and a receiver. He had 18 receptions for 310 yards and five touchdowns, but suffered his first torn ACL in the SEC Championship game against LSU. The following fall he reinjured the same ACL and was not able to return to the field until the middle of the 2021 season. This season, he found himself behind receivers Ladd McConkey and Kearis Jackson and others, along with the offense geared to tight ends Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington, it was hard to for Blaylock to find opportunities. He had a season-high three catches against Missouri, he caught his touchdown pass against Vanderbilt, and his final catch of his Bulldogs' career was a 20-yarder against Ohio State on third-and-10 against Ohio State in the Peach Bowl.

The Cobb Community Foundation, in conjunction with United Way of Greater Atlanta Northwest, announced that 5 Network for Good Jumpstart capacity-building grants of $5,000 each have been awarded to H.O.P.E. Family Resource Center, The Sobriety Resource, Connecting Generations, Self-Discovery Pain, Positioning and Purpose, and Circles Cobb for 2023. The Jumpstart grant program partnership, now in its second year, will provide a robust, 12-month training schedule to build fundraising capacity, diversify revenue, and grow and sustain programs for a new group of nonprofits. These five agencies were selected as a result of a carefully planned approach to meet human service needs in Cobb as identified by a study commissioned in 2019 by CCF. The data collected was used to create a heat map showing where assistance should be targeted. The study emphasized the need for services to be available not just to the area of need but in the area of need. Nonprofits operating in the locality bordered to the north by State Route 360 to the east by South Cobb Drive and to the south by I-285 were then invited to learn more about the demanding Jumpstart program activities. To ensure readiness, Leadership at H.O.P.E. Family Resource Center, The Sobriety Resource, Connecting Generations and Self-Discovery Pain, Positioning and Purpose first participated in a six-month training program offered in 2022 through the Georgia Center for Nonprofits, paving the way for their participation in the Jumpstart program in 2023. The newly established Circles Cobb was identified as the fifth and final organization to join the cohort. The $25,000 needed to fund these grants was underwritten by Corporate Community Champion Liberty Furniture. In 2023, CCF's investment in even more organizations like these five will be further leveraged through its partnership with United Way. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wheeler heads West to face team of NBA legacies; Pebblebrook tabbed for 'Battle of the Bands.'

The Wheeler boys basketball team is no stranger to taking on some of the best high school programs in the country. Just this season, the number 1 Wildcats have already played Kimball High School from Texas, Columbus from Florida, Imhotep Charter School of Pennsylvania, Tampa Catholic, Centennial from Calif. and John Marshall from Virginia in various events. At home, Wheeler has already played defending Class 6A champion Grovetown, will see Number 10 Osborne twice in region play, Newton in a non-region game, and there is a chance Wheeler could meet up with Pebblebrook or McEachern in the playoffs. However, this weekend, Wheeler may be playing the most star-studded high school team in the United States — Sierra Canyon from the Los Angeles outskirts of Chatsworth, California. Wheeler will travel to Los Angeles to compete in The Chosen 1's Invitational, a high school showcase put on in conjunction by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Nike and NBA superstar LeBron James. The games will be played at the Galen Center on the campus of Southern California, the future basketball home of Wheeler five-star point guard Isaiah Collier and four-star forward Arrinten Page. Wheeler was contacted about playing in Saturday's game a couple of months ago. Camden from New Jersey, with the top recruit Dejuan Wagner, was supposed to play, but something happened and a space opened up. While Wheeler boasts the future Southern Cal duo, four-star guard Jelani Hamilton who is headed to Iowa State and three-star forward Josh Hill, it will face a team highlighted by four sons of NBA stars. Sierra Canyon features James' sons, Bronny and Bryce James, as well as Justin Pippen and Ashton Hardaway. Pippen is the son of Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, while Hardaway's father is former NBA star and current Memphis coach Penny Hardaway. The Trailblazers also feature five-star shooting guard Isaiah Elohim, four-star forward Bryce Cofield, three-star forward Noah Williams, three-star forward Jimmy Oladokun and JoJo Phillips, a three-star wide receiver on the Sierra Canyon football team who has signed with BYU. Hardaway has signed to play for his father at Memphis, while Oladokun has signed with San Diego. Of the remainder of the roster, Bronny James is the only other senior. The Wheeler-Sierra Canyon game, set for an 11 p.m. Eastern tip and streamed by the NFHS Network, is one of four on the schedule for The Chosen 1's Invitational. The event will also feature the boys and girls teams from St. Vincent-St. Mary's Catholic High School, LeBron James' alma mater in Akron, Ohio. A group of Cobb families that sued the Cobb County School District over its lack of certain COVID-19 protocols, such as a mask mandate, has won an appeal in federal court. The suit, first filed in October 2021, argued that Cobb School District's failure to follow guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention denied students with disabilities, medical conditions and respiratory ailments access to a safe, in-person learning environment. The plaintiffs are four unnamed Cobb students and their parents, and are represented by the Southern Poverty Law Center and two metro Atlanta law firms. The defendants are CCSD, Superintendent Chris Ragsdale and the school board's four Republicans. The students all have disabilities, such as muscular dystrophy, leukemia and respiratory conditions, and argued they are at risk of severe symptoms or death should they be infected with COVID-19. Adding to that risk, they argued, was the district's choice to loosen its COVID policies ahead of the 2021-2022 school year, including not requiring masks to be worn in schools. As such, the children were forced to opt into virtual learning courses, causing them “irreparable harm” and subjecting them to discrimination. The Southern Poverty Law Center argues the district violated the students' civil rights as enshrined by the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The appeals court sent the case back to the district court, ordering it to “analyze whether virtual schooling is a reasonable accommodation for in-person schooling, not education in general.” Cobb schools did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Cobb's own Pebblebrook High School is one of two Atlanta-area high schools that will be featured in a prestigious marching band showcase in February. The HBCU All-Star Battle of the Bands will feature marching bands from four historically Black colleges and universities, as well as those from Pebblebrook and Westlake high schools. The event will take place Saturday, February 4 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The Pebblebrook band's participation in the event will come just over a month after the Mighty Marching Machine traveled to New Orleans to perform at the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The HBCU All-Star Battle of the Bands, which has also partnered with Allstate for the event, will host a college fair at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta before the showcase, according to a news release. Forty-five different HBCUs from around the country will waive student application fees, accept applications on-site, and even offer opportunities for scholarships. High school students and recent graduates are invited to attend the college fair, averaging 7,000 attendees in past years, prior to the band performances from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on February 4. A familiar name in the Kennesaw dining scene is back, this time with a new restaurant offering a fresh take on Mexican and Southwestern cuisine. Bernardo's Modern-Mex, owned by Brett and Laura Olszeski, is now open in downtown Kennesaw. It takes the place of Trackside Grill, which the Olszeski family owned and operated for 20 years. A recent remodel brought Bernardo's to life in the former Trackside space. The new restaurant includes a spacious dining room and an indoor patio with a fireplace. A planned rooftop bar is supposed to open sometime in the spring. Bernardo's is a return to Brett Olszeski's roots in the restaurant industry, which he said was some time in the making. The "family" in this family business is also connected to the cuisine: Brett and wife Laura met in a Mexican restaurant. Bernardo's may sound familiar to another restaurant the Olszeski family owns and operates across the street: Bernie's Social Bar, which has been open in downtown Kennesaw for five years. Brett Olszeski explained that "Bernie" is a family name, and Bernardo a Spanish variation of the name: Brett's father was named Bernard, Brett's middle name is Bernard, and Brett's brother is named Bernie. Brett said Bernardo's is not your typical Tex-Mex. The restaurant's main culinary influences come not from Texas but from Mexico, Arizona and New Mexico. All of the food is fresh, and Brett says the restaurant hopes to serve as many as 40 different tequilas. As the clouds gave way to sunshine Wednesday afternoon, much of Cobb had dried up after heavy rain Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. However, the effects of the deluge were still felt in some parts of the county, notably Noonday Creek Park and East Cobb Park. Cobb County Parks announced late Wednesday morning the two parks would be “closed until further notice” because of flooding, though just before noon, it announced East Cobb Park would reopen at 1 p.m. The county had not announced a reopening timeline for Noonday Creek Park by 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, with the parking lot at the park that sits adjacent the creek still mostly flooded. Around 8:30 Wednesday morning, a county spokesperson told the MDJ the Cobb Department of Transportation was not working on any issues related to the storms that swept through the area Tuesday evening. Cobb DOT responded to four calls about flooding and one regarding a fallen tree, but those were cleared as of 8:30 a.m., according to the spokesperson. Cobb and nearly 50 other counties in Georgia were under a tornado watch until 9 p.m. Tuesday, as strong storms swept through the area after making their way across the Alabama-Georgia border. A flash flood warning was in effect for Cobb until noon Wednesday. The county postponed a test of its emergency outdoor sirens to Thursday as a result of the storms. Kennesaw State offensive coordinator Grant Chesnut will be hired as Navy football's new offensive coordinator, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation told The Capital on Monday. Newly-hired head coach Brian Newberry could not be reached for comment, while senior associate athletic director for sports information Scott Strasemeier said Navy was not prepared to make any announcements regarding assistant coaches at this time. Chesnut just completed his eighth season at Kennesaw State under head coach Brian Bohannon. The Owls ranked 10th in rushing offense in the Football Championship Subdivision this season, averaging 232.2 yards per game. Chesnut coached alongside Newberry for four seasons at Kennesaw State, while Newberry served as defensive coordinator. The two matched wits in practice on a daily basis. Both men worked under Bohannon, a disciple of former Navy and Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews - - - - - The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.

Law enforcement with the Cherokee Sheriff's Office shopped for Christmas presents with children over a three-day period last week for the Cherokee Sheriff's Foundation's annual "Shop with a Cop" event. About 240 kids took part in this year's events, according to the sheriff's office, purchasing gifts for the holiday season. In addition to "Shop with a Cop," the sheriff's office also delivered close to 100 bags filled with comforts items to the elderly in Cherokee County. The bags had everything from blankets and socks to crackers to help this holiday season. Both of these events are part of the sheriff's office "Christmas Joy" program. "We couldn't do it without our community support. Thanks to all who made donations to help support this program as well at those who purchased Calendars to support 'Christmas Joy,'" the sheriff's office said in a post on its Facebook page Friday. All funds are donated and come from the Cherokee Sheriff's Foundation. Just two years into his stint as Woodstock's head football coach, Troy Hoff announced on Dec. 19 he would be resigning from the position.

Before joining Woodstock in 2021, Hoff spent six seasons at Eastside High School in Newton County, Georgia. He amassed a 51-17 record with the Eagles and holds a 51-37 career record over eight seasons, starting in 2015. Woodstock had some notable college prospects on its roster this season, between offensive lineman Tyler Douthit and receiver/defensive back Adonis Garcia. Douthit had over 20 offers, including Power-5 programs, and announced his commitment to Samford on Dec. 5. Garcia committed to Wofford as a three-star defensive back.

Cherokee County's Bryce Leatherwood won season 22 of “The Voice” Tuesday night, and the country singer dedicated his win to his family, friends and supporters. The Hickory Flat native and Sequoyah High School graduate won season 22 of "The Voice" Tuesday, capping off a journey that started in September with blind auditions. As the winner of season 22, Leatherwood received $100,000 and a record deal with Universal. Leatherwood's family was in attendance Tuesday night to cheer him on.Leatherwood also thanked his supporters from Cherokee County and Georgia. When thinking about the future, Leatherwood said he wants to "get on top of the ball and try to get some music out as soon as possible." The Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program is hosting a candlelight vigil at 5:30 p.m. December 21 at Cherokee Veterans Park, in Canton, to remember veterans who are homeless. The vigil will be held at the nation's only homeless veterans statue. The marble statue depicts two life size veterans, one male and one female, standing on a pentagon base displaying the five branches of the military. Inscribed on the base is the phrase, “No Veteran who fights for this country, should have to fight for a job, a roof over their head, or the care they need when they come home." The event is scheduled to take place at sundown, which is currently targeted at 5:33 p.m. The free to attend event is open to the public. Every night, about 49,000 veterans find themselves on the street homeless, said Jim Lindenmayer, director of the Cherokee County Homeless Veteran Program. In 2018, there were about 8,400 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. This means that there are roughly six homeless veterans for every soldier who served in Afghanistan. Homeless veterans are found all over the U.S. In Cherokee County, the intake and processing of homeless veterans is up 32% from last year and what is causing more concern is that Cherokee Homeless Veteran Program is seeing more female Veterans, some with small children, as well as senior veterans who are homeless. A Canton woman is behind bars on charges related to the death of a toddler, police announced Thursday. Phillissa Diallo, 40, is charged with concealing a death and second degree cruelty to children.

Officers responded at about 4:10 p.m. to a home on Hearthstone Landing Drive, where they found the body of a female toddler. The body will be turned over to the GBI Crime Lab to determine the cause of death and identification confirmation. Diallo was arrested by Canton police and booked into the Cherokee County jail Wednesday afternoon, a jail report shows. As of Thursday afternoon she remained in custody without bond.

These are Instructional Excellence to a classroom teacher, Instructional Support to an employee who serves in a support staff role, Instructional Leadership to a school or district leader and Instructional Advocacy to a non-CCSD employee. Grummer, whose first career was in architecture, is credited with building a successful architecture and drafting career pathway program at Etowah High School. He earned Etowah's 2018 Teacher of the Year and Golden Apple honors and later joined the staff at Sequoyah High School, where he again created a successful program for future architects and engineers. Cherokee softball coach Tonya Carlisle was inducted into the Georgia Dugout Club Hall of Fame over the weekend, finishing off her 19th season with the Warriors on a high note. Carlisle, the current GADC Softball Vice President, was the 26th person to receive this honor. Carlisle led Cherokee to 21-8 overall in 2022, with an 11-4 record in Region 5 7A. The Warriors earned another trip to the state tournament and finished in the Final Four. It is not the first time Carlisle has seen this type of recognition. For her time on the playing field, she was inducted into the Kennesaw State Softball Hall of Fame in 2008. She played with the Owls from 1992-95 and was a three-time NAIA All-American selection before, along with an NCAA Division II All-American award. Carlile's prowess on the diamond translated to the coach's box, with her imprint all over the Cherokee softball team's success. Carlisle led the Warriors to their first winning season in 2004 and their first state playoff appearance in 2006. She helped the program become a mainstay in the postseason during the ensuing years and through this season. Carlisle continues to put winning teams on the field at Cherokee, and with her Hall of Fame induction, the standard is set.

The Trouble With Opt-In Sex Ed

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 13, 2022 19:41

CCSD recently released a proposal they're planning to take to the state legislature next year: They want sex education to be opt-out, not opt-in. Right now in Nevada, if a parent doesn't sign the permission slip (aka opt-in), then that child automatically doesn't take sex ed — and we're one of only five states with this policy. Today, Vogue sits down with Camalot Todd, who just wrote about this possible policy shift in the Nevada Current. They talk about how opt-in sex ed leaves out the students who need it most, the proposal's mandate for medically-accurate sex ed, and how it's all connected to Nevada's super-high STI rates. What are your thoughts on sex ed at CCSD schools? Are you a parent or a student who has thoughts on “opt-in” vs “opt-out”? Leave us a voicemail or send us a text message at 702-514-0719.

The mayor of Emerson and his wife were killed in a four-car crash Saturday in Cherokee County, the Cherokee Sheriff's Office reported, and a man has been arrested on charges related to the crash. According to the sheriff's office, deputies responded to a four-car crash at about 4 p.m. Saturday on Knox Bridge Highway, east of Fields Landing Drive near Canton. Preliminary indications are that a Chevrolet pickup truck traveling east on Knox Bridge Hwy. lost control and crossed the center line striking a Hyundai Santa Fe traveling westbound. That collision caused the Hyundai to lose control, overturn and travel into the eastbound lane where it was struck by a GMC Savana van traveling eastbound. The Chevrolet truck also struck a Mazda 3 traveling west. Emerson Mayor Albert Pallone who was driving the Hyundai, and his wife, Camilia Pallone died in the crash. The driver of the Mazda 3 and the driver of the GMC Savana were transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the Chevrolet pick up, William Bryan Abernathy of Calhoun, was arrested and charged with first degree vehicular homicide, and serious injury by vehicle, DUI and reckless driving. Abernathy was also injured and is receiving treatment at an undisclosed local hospital. The site of the crash is a little over a mile east from where a Cherokee County father and daughter died in a crash on Thanksgiving - Alivia Mynes, an 18-year-old former Creekview High School volleyball standout and college freshman, and her father, Chris Mynes, 52, was the human resources director at Fox Factory in Gainesville, according to their obituaries. A trial has been set for a Woodstock resident and her son facing felony charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol. Lisa Marie Eisenhart, from Woodstock, and her son, Eric Munchel, who lives in Nashville, are charged with entering the Capitol with rioters and disrupting the proceedings there, according to their indictment. Munchel, who has been referred to as the “zip tie guy,” was photographed with zip ties in the Capitol Building, according to prosecutors. He is also accused of carrying a dangerous weapon, a Taser, on the grounds and in the Capitol Building, which is associated with additional charges in the indictment. Attorneys for Munchel and Eisenhart have said they did not bring the zip ties, but found them inside the Capitol. The trial is scheduled to start April 11 before Judge Royce C. Lamberth in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Eisenhart and Munchel have pleaded not guilty on all counts, court documents show.

Holly Springs could soon switch to a simple majority system for municipal elections, pending a vote by the city council later this month. The Holly Springs City Council is expected to make a decision at its Dec. 19 meeting. Holly Springs uses a plurality voting system, in which the candidate with the most votes is the winner regardless of percentage, and there are no runoffs. If Holly Springs switches to a simple majority system, like for state elections, 50% plus at least one vote will be required for a candidate to win. Under this system, in the event that no one receives 50% plus one vote in the race, there will be a runoff. Establishing a 50% plus one voting system in Holly Springs requires the city to go through the state legislature to change its charter. The city council's next meeting is at 7 p.m. December 19 at city hall. River Ridge and West Forsyth went back and forth all night, but it was the Knights' big fourth quarter that put them over the top on Saturday's 56-47 win at the Cherokee/Forsyth Challenge. With the game tied 38-34 heading into the fourth quarter, the Knights went on an 8-0 run, with four quick points from Davis Hansraj, to take control of the scoreboard. They did not trail the rest of the way. Those three seniors were pivotal in the Knights' late push, and Hansraj tallied a team-high 17 points on Saturday. Head scored 11 points while controlling the paint on both ends, and McCord had six points. Bret Senay, a junior, finished with nine points. For West Forsyth, Sam Maynard carried the offense with 23 points, 11 of which came in the fourth quarter. Chase Damerell was second in the score column with 10 points, followed by Lachlan Povenz with seven points. After playing a tough intra-county game on Friday night, it was a quick turnaround for River Ridge. Darling noticed the fatigue setting in but credited his guys for returning to form when necessary. Saturday marked the Knights' second straight win since dropping three straight. Support staff at schools were celebrated Thursday at the Cherokee County School District's fifth annual Support Staff Employees of the Year Awards.

Faith-based TV show filmed in Woodstock enters post-production

A German-based robotics company is building a new manufacturing facility to Canton, expected to create 137 new jobs in Cherokee County, Governor Brian Kemp announced. Becker Robotic Equipment, a global cable and robotic machinery manufacturer specializing in individualized robotic equipment, will invest over $30 million in the facility, which will house its North American headquarters. Headquartered in Dülmen, Germany, Becker was founded in 1993 with the aim of supplying accessories and integrated automated systems, mainly for the automotive industry. Becker's new North American headquarters and manufacturing facility will be located at The Bluffs at Technology Park in Canton. The facility is expected to consist of three adjacent buildings and will be designed with clean energy solutions, such as solar panels, according to the governor's office. The company is looking to hire for sales and applications engineers, automotive project managers, non-automotive project managers, inside sales support staff, project engineers, office administrators, HR generalists, manufacturing technicians, and customer and service technicians. A six-episode series was recently filmed in Cherokee County, using the backdrop of local buildings, businesses and areas to help tell its story. “These Stones” is a Christian faith-based series written and produced by Woodstock resident Cheryl McKay Price. The series tells the story of a wayward daughter who, after her mother is killed, takes over a supernatural program to help others, according to its synopsis on IMDb.. Though she struggles to believe in God, she finds herself matching mysterious visitors from the past to those facing challenges today. The series was shot from September 19 to October 21 in various locations throughout Woodstock including the downtown area, Rootstock, Circle of Friends and a farmhouse in Canton. Scenes were also shot in Marietta. Price said she is hopeful for a release by the end of next year. The show features a cast of actors, most of whom are from Georgia. Several of the crew members and production team are from Cherokee County as well, Price said. Circle of Friends, a Woodstock coffee shop which employs people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, was part of the set in an episode about a boy with Down syndrome and his mother. At first, the mother is afraid to let her son integrate into society because he has been bullied, Price said. The boy wants to make friends, so the mom eventually lets him get a job at Circle of Friends and interact with other people. Price said she hopes there could be more seasons to the show, though the show's first season is structured to tell a complete story. The screenwriter and producer said she enjoyed the process, and added that the Cherokee Office of Economic Development's film office, led by Molly Mercer, was very easy to work with in helping her achieve her vision. The Cherokee County school board has won state honors for its communications initiatives. For the fourth consecutive year, the Georgia School Boards Association has awarded the Cherokee school board its Leading Edge Award, Cherokee County School District announced. The past three years, the honor earned has been in the Culture, Climate and Organizational Efficacy category, and this year's award is in the Communication category. The awards, presented in seven categories, recognize innovative practices by school boards and school districts that make a significant and positive impact on students. School Board Chair Kyla Cromer accepted the award on the board's behalf at a Georgia School Boards Association ceremony Friday morning. CCSD's strategic communications plan outlines how communications efforts will help achieve the goals of the district's overall blueprint strategic five-year plan for continuous improvement. Key to this plan is reporting success stories, which are shared daily across numerous district and school platforms, including websites, social media, newsletters and publications and also are shared with traditional local media outlets. The district's communications team annually trains staff from schools and district departments and divisions on best communications practices including how to share their successes stories. School board members also receive communications training and guidance throughout their time in office. The Cherokee boys' basketball team kept its undefeated record intact with its 74-64 win at Sequoyah on Friday night. With a nice lift from Lawrence Sanford, the Warriors pulled ahead in the second quarter and never looked back. Both teams were scoring well to start the night, with the Chiefs taking a 19-16 lead after the first period. Cherokee made adjustments going into the second quarter, though, and built a 28-21 lead in just over three minutes. Sanford was a big part of Cherokee's run, scoring its first eight points of the second quarter. He connected on three 3-pointers in the frame and finished the night with a game-high 22 points. Offense has been the Warriors' strength through the first five games, as expected, though its defense took major strides. It was tested against Sequoyah's high-powered offense and passed with flying colors. About one in six Cherokee County voters had cast a ballot ahead of the December 6 runoff contest between Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock and his Republican challenger Herschel Walker, according to numbers from the Georgia Secretary of State's website. As of Friday morning, 33,008 Cherokee County voters had cast a ballot, according to the state website, about 17% of the county's registered voters. The state reported 28,110 of those votes were cast in person. Turnout for Georgians returning to the polls this week to vote in the December 6 runoff election surpassed 1 million ballots cast ahead of Election Day. Cherokee County was showing 4,895 absentee ballots had been accepted by the close of polls Thursday, and there were another 2,711 ballots were still outstanding. The state numbers showed that Cherokee's in-person early voting increased as the week went on. The county began early voting at one location Sunday and saw 1,127 ballots cast in person that day. When voters returned to polls Monday, 5,319 voted early in Cherokee, and Thursday, that number was 7,651. Cherokee's Toni Warren erupted for a game-high 32 points in the 72-49 win over Sequoyah at the War lodge on Friday night. Warren tallied 10 points in the third quarter alone, helping the Lady Warriors secure their second victory in a row. It was back-and-forth in the first quarter, with Cherokee holding a slim 16-14 lead at the break. Warren made her presence felt early, hitting a 3-pointer and then earning three free throws on the next possession. She hit four of five free throws in the period. Warren opened the second quarter with a tough mid-range fadeaway and nailed another two possessions later to push the Lady Warriors' lead to 23-19. Behind Warren's 32 points, Hannah Harris was the lone other Cherokee player in double figures with 11 points. Riley Simmons pitched in eight points, including two 3-pointers in the second quarter. The Lady Warriors connected on 11 3-pointers in Friday's win. For Sequoyah, Elle Blatchford led the way with 16 points as she continues to ramp up after returning from injury. She had nine points in the fourth quarter. Gray and Abdus-Salaam each tallied nine points, followed by Shelby Belanger with six points. #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews - - - - - - The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County.

Cannabis Cleans Up In Court

Sonja and Dayvid are joined today by a very special guest: Joey Lovato, host of the Nevada Independent's podcast IndyMatters. (Psst, it's his birthday today, y'all!) Joey catches us up on the cannabis news — namely, that the ACLU has won its lawsuit against the State Board of Pharmacy, who will now be required to de-classify cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug. So what does that mean for Las Vegans? We also talk about the endorsement that six local chambers of commerce recently gave to a ballot initiative that proposes to split up Clark County School District into smaller school districts. CCSD is the fifth-largest school district in the country — but splitting it up comes with some pros and cons. We round out the roundup with a remembrance of Blair Dewane, a beloved local indie musician who passed this week at too young of an age. Last but most certainly not least, we learn that Dayvid is in a polka punk band called Tippy Elvis, and that Joey was in a Justin Bieber-meets-Alvin the Chipmunks band called Full Silver… in the 5th grade. We're currently looking for the Full Silver deep cut album, so let us know if you find footage anywhere! How do YOU feel about the CCSD ballot initiative? Are you in a local indie band that you want to shout out? Leave us a voicemail at 702-514-0719 or hit us up on Twitter @CityCastVegas. Want more Vegas news and events?

Last month, CCSD confirmed their first Monkeypox case at Palo Verde High School. With Las Vegas being a global destination for tourism, how concerned should we be about Monkeypox? While our numbers remain low compared to the rest of the country, issues around messaging create a harmful stigma and false sense of safety for groups not included in the language. Southern Nevada Health District senior health educator Cheryl Radeloff talks with host Vogue Robinson about our case and vaccine numbers, the similarities in messaging with HIV/AIDS, and what we can to do protect ourselves. You can find the EPA's list of disinfectants for emerging viral pathogens here. Do you have more thoughts or questions about Monkeypox? A story to share?
