  From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast    Today is Tuesday, September 3rd and Happy Birthday to Charlie Sheen   I'm Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Woodstock Mayor Shares Parking Deck Update. What We Know Superintendent: Cherokee School Board to Unveil Core Beliefs and Goals Cherokee County Approves Highway 20 East Overlay Standards Plus, Bruce Jenkins sits down with Leah McGrath to discussing Kombucha   We'll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you're looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    Commercial: CU of GA   STORY 1:   Woodstock Mayor Shares Parking Deck Update. What We Know Downtown Woodstock's new parking deck is set to open in early 2025, according to Mayor Michael Caldwell. The six-level deck, which will provide 633 free parking spaces, is expected to be topped off by September 16 and completed by the end of December. It is part of the larger Woodstock City Center project, which will feature office spaces, retail, restaurants, and a boutique hotel. Caldwell emphasized that the parking will be free, addressing community concerns about costs. Winter Construction is handling the public infrastructure, including the parking deck. STORY 2:  Superintendent: Cherokee School Board to Unveil Core Beliefs and Goals Cherokee County Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis announced that the school board will unveil core beliefs and new reading and English language arts goals at the Sept. 12 meeting. These goals are part of a broader plan to elevate the district's performance, aiming to become the highest-performing district in Georgia. Davis highlighted a recent achievement where 70.3% of third graders were reading at or above grade level, though she noted room for improvement compared to other districts. The new Cherokee High School campus construction is on track and under budget. Additionally, the district has implemented a stricter cell phone policy to foster personal interaction among students. STORY 3:  Cherokee County Approves Highway 20 East Overlay Standards Cherokee County officials have introduced the Highway 20 East Overlay District to set design and architectural standards for new development along Highway 20 from Canton Marketplace to the Forsyth County line. This overlay aims to ensure that as the highway expands, development remains aesthetically pleasing and avoids a cluttered commercial appearance. The district, which covers a mix of residential and commercial land, includes requirements for landscaping, open space, pedestrian access, and architectural features. The goal is to preserve community character while accommodating growth. The overlay will apply to new developments and major changes in the area, with standards for building materials, height, and design.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.    Back in a moment  Break:  DRAKE   STORY 4:  Habitat for Humanity Holds ‘First Nail Ceremony' for Canton Home Habitat for Humanity-North Central Georgia recently celebrated the start of a new home build in Canton with a “first nail ceremony.” The project, known as a Habitat Women Build, is funded largely by women volunteers and supported by corporate sponsor EIS, which contributed $80,000 and volunteers. Homebuyer Jada Parks, who learned about Habitat from a cousin, expressed her gratitude and hopes to give back to her community. This build is part of a larger initiative to construct three new homes in Canton. Volunteers wrote messages of encouragement on the home's walls, symbolizing community support and hope. STORY 5:   Cherokee Follows Record-Breaking Performance with Lambert Cherokee's Week 4 opponent, Lambert, presents a tough challenge despite their 0-2 record. The Longhorns have faced top teams Mill Creek and Walton, with Walton being a recent Class 7A runner-up and Mill Creek the 2022 state champion. Cherokee coach Adam Holley warns that Lambert's record is misleading and the game will be a tough test. The Warriors, coming off a record-setting 65-42 win over Pope, are led by quarterback Tanner Savasir, who's had a standout season. With high offensive production and a strong core of experienced players, Cherokee is poised for a competitive game against Lambert before starting their region play.

Supreme Court Rules Cobb Man Cannot Be Retried for 2012 Killing Uncertainty Surrounds Cobb Commission's District Map: An Update on the Situation Initial Hearing to Begin in City of Mableton Lawsuit Challenge   All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: CUofGA STORY 1: U.S. Supreme Court Rules Cobb Man Cannot Be Retried for 2012 Killing In a landmark ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned a Georgia Supreme Court opinion, ruling that Damian McElrath, who was tried for the 2012 stabbing death of his mother, cannot be retried for malice murder. McElrath, diagnosed with schizophrenia, stabbed his mother over 50 times in their west Cobb home, believing she was trying to poison him. He was found guilty, but mentally ill, of felony murder and not guilty by reason of insanity of malice murder. However, in 2020, the Georgia Supreme Court dismissed both verdicts. The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling asserts that the jury's verdict constituted an acquittal for malice murder, thus protecting McElrath from retrial under double jeopardy standards. This decision emphasizes that "an acquittal is an acquittal" regardless of its consistency with other verdicts. This ruling marks a significant moment for McElrath's defense team, who expressed their honor in representing "the forgotten mentally ill who get into serious trouble." STORY 2: Uncertainty Surrounds Cobb Commission's District Map: An Update on the Situation The future of the Cobb Board of Commissioners District 2 seat, currently occupied by Jerica Richardson, hangs in the balance due to an ongoing legal dispute surrounding redistricting. The validity of the county's self-drawn district map is under scrutiny, with a decision from the Georgia Supreme Court eagerly anticipated. If the court confirms the General Assembly's alternate map, which doesn't include Richardson's residence in District 2, her position could be jeopardized. The situation is further complicated by contradictory legislation regarding her seat and Richardson's refusal to step down. This may necessitate a special election, causing further disruption to the commission's operations and leaving residents uncertain about their representation. Amidst this uncertainty, Richardson has announced her run for the U.S. House of Representatives, attracting several candidates for her potentially vacant commission seat. STORY 3: Initial Hearings to Begin in City of Mableton Lawsuit Challenge The city of Mableton, Georgia, is facing a legal challenge that questions the constitutionality of its creation. The lawsuit, brought forward by five residents, will have its first hearing in Cobb Superior Court on March 6. The plaintiffs argue that House Bill 839, which allowed for Mableton's establishment and was passed by the Georgia General Assembly in 2022, is unconstitutional. They claim the bill violates the state constitution's single subject rule by creating both the city and community improvement districts in a single act. The suit seeks a declaratory judgment ruling that HB 839, and thus, the city, is void. Despite the ongoing legal battle, Mableton's Mayor, Michael Owens, stated that the city would continue with its operations and work on establishing commissions, authorities, and boards to assist in city development.

Standout player Abbey Bensman led the Greyhounds to victory with an impressive 18 points and seven rebounds. "Abbey is a special player," praised Pope coach Bill Blythe. "She does just about everything out on that court." The game saw Pope leading 32-29 in the third quarter. However, a successful 7-0 run gave them a comfortable lead going into the final quarter. Despite Etowah's best efforts, Pope managed to maintain control and secure the win. Sarah Gentry also made significant contributions, scoring nine points and six rebounds, including a crucial 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter, which put the Greyhounds ahead. The win propels the Greyhounds into Round 2 where they will host South Paulding on Saturday. STORY 5: Over $22K Donation for Literacy Made at Marietta Town Hall Meeting A significant donation of over $22K was recently made to promote literacy at a town hall meeting in Marietta. The meeting, hosted by Ward 5 Marietta City Councilman M. Carlyle Kent, saw Cobb Collaborative Executive Director Irene Barton receive a check for $22,100. This contribution will be utilized for two early literacy projects. $20,000 will assist Zion Academy in constructing a playground designed around an early literacy theme. The remaining $2,100 will fund 25 ‘Marietta Reads' packets per month for a year, intended to benefit pre-K age children throughout Councilman Kent's ward. We'll be back in a moment.   Break: DRAKE STORY 6: McEachern reaches century mark in win over Westlake McEachern High School's basketball team achieved a stunning victory over Westlake, ending with an impressive 105-72 score in the first round of the Class 7A playoffs. Ace Bailey led the charge, scoring a game-high 32 points, with 24 of those earned in the first half alone. This win marks the first time McEachern has reached the century mark since the 2019-20 season. The team now looks ahead to their next challenge against Newton on Saturday. Despite the victory, Coach Tremayne Anchrum insists there's still room for improvement as they progress in the playoffs.  Break: INGLES 4 Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.
