The Cherokee County School District confirmed that the call was incorrect and stated that safety is a priority. During the lockdown, the school's interior and exterior doors were locked, and students remained in their classrooms.

The incident led to a delay in bus dismissal and a Code Yellow lockdown for the Liberty Elementary After School Program.                                                   ....……… Read more on this story at tribuneledgernews.com   STORY 2: audit   An internal audit by the Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) revealed that over $105 million in penalties, fees, and assessments collected over the past decade were withheld from the state treasury. The funds, relating to administrative fees, interest fees, and employer penalties, were transferred to the treasury as required by law. These funds had been withheld during the tenure of former Labor Commissioner Mark Butler. The audit, dated August 4, does not accuse the GDOL of fraudulent activity but points to a legal dispute over the agency's right to retain the money. The audit emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability. State and federal agencies are involved in an ongoing investigation into the matter. The current Labor Commissioner, Bruce Thompson, aims to restore transparency and cooperation within the agency.   Story 3: dates   Cherokee County cities have announced qualifying dates for the upcoming municipal elections on November 7.

Speaking at the Georgia Chamber of Commerce's annual Congressional Luncheon, Kemp highlighted the need to address laws that facilitate frivolous lawsuits against businesses in the state, leading to increased insurance costs and hindering job creation. While proponents, including insurance companies and business groups, have supported tort reform for years, opponents, such as trial lawyers and legislative Democrats, argue that proposed legislation favors insurers over victims of accidents and malpractice. Kemp plans to work with lawmakers to reduce insurance premiums and create a fairer legal environment in the 2024 legislative session.   Story 8:  Waters   The Kansas City Royals dominated the Boston Red Sox with a 9-3 victory at Fenway Park.

A man linked to the Bloods gang was recently sentenced to prison for his role in a 2019 armed robbery in Woodstock, the Cherokee County District Attorney's office announced. Dante Dashawn Woods, 22, of Marietta, entered a negotiated guilty plea March 17 to violation of Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Superior Court Judge David Cannon, Jr., sentenced Woods to 25 years, with the first 12 years to be served in prison without parole. Woods is also banned from Cherokee County and forbidden to have contact with criminal street gang members or associates. Jahlen Merritt, 22, of Marietta, Woods' co-defendant, pled guilty on July 12, 2022, for his part in the armed robbery. He was sentenced to 20 years, with the first 10 years to serve in prison without parole. Charges stem from an armed robbery that occurred on Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2019, at about 3 p.m., in the parking lot behind Chattahoochee Technical College in Woodstock. Prosecutors said Woods pointed a gun at the victim while Merritt took his wallet, iPhone, and a single AirPod. To take money from the person's bank account, authorities said Merritt used a mobile finance app to transfer money to himself. Later that day, Merritt and two additional men committed a similar armed robbery in Cobb County, using the same weapon and vehicle, and this time Merritt wore a red bandana over his face, authorities said. Prosecutors said due to his participation in the first armed robbery, Merritt earned the right to display the red bandana as a “flag” for the Bloods in the second. After the victims gave officers a description of the suspects and the firearm they used, Woodstock police used a receipt from the finance app to identify Merritt and alerted other local agencies. Police spotted Merritt's vehicle four days after the robbery and arrested both suspects, authorities said. Woods was identified by his facial tattoos, which the victim had described to law enforcement. “After a review of the evidence, we were able to conclude that Woods is a member of the Bloods criminal street gang and recruited Merritt to the gang through the commission of these violent crimes,” said Assistant District Attorney Megan S. Hertel, who prosecuted the case. “In order to make a meaningful impact on gang activity within our community, it is necessary to address recruitment into criminal street gangs, and a collaborative effort was made to do that here.” Prosecutors reviewed a cell phone extraction, social media, music videos, facial tattoos, jail visits and phone calls, and gang activity within the jail. Evidence from the defendants' cell phones revealed a conversation in which Woods and Merritt discussed committing “licks” (crimes and armed robberies) and another conversation in which Merritt asked Woods about going on his “walk,” referring to initiation into the gang through criminal activity, the district attorney's office said. “Many Cherokee County residents may be shocked to hear that the Bloods, one of the most dangerous criminal street gangs, are in our community committing these sorts of crimes. Our goal is to eradicate criminal street gangs in Georgia. With the continued diligence of law enforcement in this mission, we will do just that,” Acting District Attorney Susan Treadaway said in a statement. “I commend Woodstock, Cobb County, and Marietta Police Departments for working together to ensure a quick arrest and thorough investigation of this crime.”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The wrestlers posed for photos, signed autographs, and gave the families a private tour of the studio and access to the theme park. They also invited the families to attend WrestleMania 39 this weekend. Rhodes, who lost in the main event against Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on Sunday, said helping others with his fame is the best part of his job. He believes the visit to the families was the most important thing he did all week. Vietnam veterans and their families were celebrated and recognized during a commemoration event hosted by the Horace Orr Post 29 of the American Legion at Chattahoochee Technical College. President Obama proclaimed a 13-year period to thank and honor veterans of the war, starting on Memorial Day in 2012 and continuing through Veterans Day in 2025. In 2017, President Trump signed the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act, designating every March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. This year, President Biden honored the veterans in a proclamation letter, thanking them for their sacrifice. Approximately 9 million Americans served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, and around 7 million are still living today. A $1.45 million contract was awarded to Accenture by the Cobb Board of Commissioners to develop a five-year strategic plan for the county. However, tension arose this week between Chairwoman Lisa Cupid and Commissioner Keli Gambrill as the board quizzed consultants with questions about recommended strategies the county might pursue over the next five years. Gambrill expressed skepticism over the recommended strategies, particularly in relation to economic development, and suggested that the county's involvement in these initiatives should be left to the Cobb Chamber of Commerce. Cupid argued that economic development was a key function of government, and the county could partner with the chamber while retaining accountability to taxpayers And, John Bednarowski checks in with us from Augusta National as the Masters Practice rounds have begun.

Marietta's Dansby Swanson, in his debut for the Chicago Cubs, hit three hits, drove in a run and helped Marcus Stroman escape a bases-loaded jam to a 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. He was signed to a seven-year, $177m contract and became the first Cub to have three hits in his team debut since September 2019. Swanson admitted the transition to Chicago had been tough, but he was sure he was led there. Faith is an essential part of the Swansons' outlook, and prayer played a significant role in his free agency decision. Swanson's value goes beyond just numbers, and his durability has become a trademark of his game.

This year's class is more balanced than the Eagles' 2021 crop when they inked five offensive players on early signing day. With the departure of former starting quarterback Billy Hall in 2021, quarterback was a focus. In 2022, Reinhardt worked to build depth at key positions.

Caleb Anderson, a 12-year-old prodigy from Atlanta, USA, has shared his dream of becoming the first man to explore Mars in the future. Caleb has just been accepted at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), where he plans to study aerospace engineering in 2021. He is one of the youngest applicants to be accepted into the prestigious university. Caleb is now concurrently attending high school and taking classes at Chattahoochee Technical College. American comedian and host Steve Harvey noticed Caleb and promised to sponsor the tuition of his remaining semesters at Chattahoochee Tech. After graduating from both high school and Chattahoochee Tech in the first half of 2021, Caleb plans to get his master's from Georgia Tech, then his doctorate from MIT. He also wants to apply for an internship under Elon Musk. Afterward, he hopes to work at either NASA or SpaceX, where his dream of becoming the first human on Mars could come true. According to Caleb, he does not think of himself as smart. Instead, he said he is a quick learner who easily grasps information. Caleb's parents knew early on that he was special. His mother said Caleb had imitated her words a few weeks after birth and had become proficient in sign language at nine months. His father said that Caleb had asked a lot of profound questions when he was only three years old. The family is glad to be a voice for child prodigies and an inspiration to others. In an interview, Caleb gave advice to those who want to succeed. He said that success comes with failing and trying. He added that anything is possible even when somebody says that it cannot be done.

Vice President of Academic Affairs and Economic Development at Chattahoochee Technical College, Jason Tanner, is in studio for today's episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio. Joined by co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick, Tanner discusses the several different options available at Chattahoochee Tech, new programs, his role in the college and so much more on today's Around Atlanta segment of Radio. Starting his career in higher education as an English professor, Tanner knew he was teaching a required course for most incoming students. While several students were passionate about the class, it was only a stepping stone to more desired classes for students embarking on other majors. This was one of the factors that helped Tanner discover his passion for teaching at a two-year college. Tanner began working at a community college in the area and had the opportunity to teach a myriad of different types of students. Not only were there regular college students following a traditional path, but the classroom also contained high school students looking to get a jumpstart on higher education and older adults seeking to return to school. After teaching English for several years, Tanner eventually eased into a more administrative role. Before landing his current role, Tanner was the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Chattahoochee Tech. Now, Tanner is in charge of overseeing and supervising all academic instruction at the college. Chattahoochee Tech is the largest of Georgia's 22 technical colleges. Chattahoochee Tech educates almost 10,000 students a semester and services six different Georgia counties. The college is also composed of 15 to 20% dual-enrollment students. While several traditional four-year colleges in the state of Georgia are a part of the University System of Georgia, a separate system oversees most of the two-year technical colleges in the state. The Technical College System of Georgia encompasses these schools. In addition to traditional diplomas that require two years of instruction, Chattahoochee Tech also offers several certificates. These programs are specialized and can be completed in as little as eight weeks. One example is a certificate of truck driving. The associate degrees offer a wide range of courses from accounting to welding, in addition to all the normal core classes like English and math. “We prepare students for what we call middle-skill careers and jobs,” said Tanner. “Those are the things that don't require a full four-year degree like engineering, but do require more than just a high school diploma or the equivalency.” To learn more about Chattahoochee Technical College, be sure to listen to the full interview above.

Today’s episode features track and field coach Mike Goss.  Mike is a physical education instructor of 20 years, and has been coaching track and field on the high school, club and NCAA Division I collegiate level for over 25 years.  Currently Mike is coaching independently the club “Flying Without Wings”, and is an assistant at Parkview HS, the Georgia 7A state runner-up in 2017. I first met Mike at the Central Virginia Sports Performance Seminar back in 2015, but I knew of his work well before then by reading his track and field, jumps training articles on Speedendurance.com.  Mike is an experienced coach, has a thirst for knowledge, and has lots of success over the years, coaching numerous track and field champions in the long, high and triple jumps.   His creative and unique practice methods contain ideas that we can all utilize in our efforts to get the most out of our athletes while building a great environment for them.   Not only is Mike a great coach, but he is also one of the most generous people I know in terms of giving his time to coach those in need of assistance.  His spirit and love for the sport is something we can all aspire towards.   One article of Mike’s that stuck with me, and prompted me to purchase Tadeusz Starzynski’s book on jump training was looking at his work with speed squats, where he tracked the amount of time it took athletes to perform a particular amount of reps, and weight could only increase given only a small increase in the time needed to perform the repetitions.   For today’s episode, we’ll cover Mike’s philosophy on training track and field jumpers, coaching rhythms, approaches to plyometrics, particularly in setting up competitions for those plyometric exercises, as well as strength training for jumpers.   Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.   Key Points: Mike’s background and introduction to coaching Mike’s philosophy in training track and field jumpers Coaching jumping and approach rhythms Approaches to plyometrics in youth, high school and collegiate jumpers Mike’s multi-jump practice competitions Strength training for the jumping events Quotes “If you are playing hopscotch and skipping rope, that is a level of plyometrics” “I’m amazed at the young people who play sports who never really learned to skip or hop athletically” “The Nordic hamstring is one of the best things we can do” “If you can do a pistol squat correctly, you are an athlete” “(In martial artists strikes) It was found that an 80% effort was a maximal power output, rather than 100%” “Track and Field is one of those few sports where you will be able to compete at a junior varsity or varsity level until the championship season, and you are not going to sit a bench, and that’s something we should consider in promoting track and field” “Our bounding competitions would all be focused around 4 contacts” “The time it takes to exert maximal force is much longer than a foot contact in track and field” Show Notes Jumps Challenge Competitions and Speed Squat Progression About Mike Goss Education: University of Montevallo, BS  Georgia State University, Masters degree, HPERD Work history: Teacher, Cobb County Public Schools, 1977-09 Physical Education instructor, 20 years; Health Education instructor, 12 years High school coach, USATF club 7 years; collegiate coach 2005-2012, Kennesaw State University, 6 years; Chattahoochee Technical College 1 year Currently coaching independently, “Flying Without Wings” Assistant Parkview HS, 7A state runner-up 2017 New Balance Nationals, triple jumper 3rd.
