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.

Ep. 73: Basketball with Kevin Garnett shaped this marketing maven. As a boy growing up tall in South Carolina, Ryan Alford developed plenty of drive going toe-to-toe with another intense basketball player, young Kevin Garnett, and even played briefly on the same AAU team as the now NBA Hall of Famer. After graduating from Eastside High School, Ryan went to college at Clemson, not to pursue basketball but rather business. From there, he worked as a “Mad Man” in New York before returning to South Carolina to join Erwin Penland, a South Carolina ad agency. Before he was through there, Ryan would be part of a team that built a $50 million advertising account with Verizon Wireless, including the launch of the iPhone, beating out several big Manhattan agencies in the process.

Sign Up To Receive Our FFA Stories Newsletter! Email address: SHOW NOTES INTRODUCING AVA JANE TEASLEY!  Our guest today comes from the famed Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College?  Why do I say that?  Because I have interviewed a number of students from ABAC, and they always knock it out of the park. Ava Jane Teasley is majoring in agricultural communications.  She states that she wants to be the voice of the farmer.  After learning about her unique upbringing, I can see why.  Ava Jane's mother worked at an FFA camp when Ava was a kid.  So, she grew up at that camp, where they lived.  She saw and participated in the fun and growth that the older FFA kids experienced when they came there. I always ask my FFA student guests how long they have been part of the FFA.  Ava Jane's answer was unique, when she told me "all of my life".  Succeeding in the FFA was something that she was born to do, and she has certainly shown herself capable by becoming her chapter's secretary and the vice president of the Georgia State Officer Team as well as a national finalist in agricultural communications.

REASONS TO DONATE TO FFA: Only 2% of Americans grow and raise most of the food and livestock consumed by the other 98% as well as the rest of the world.  FFA is providing the needed education, training and resources to Americans that will carry that torch forward and insure that America continues to have inexpensive, quality food. Rural Communities will rely on entrepreneurship in the future for population growth and job creation.  The FFA is a major catalyst to that entrepreneurial growth. Farmers, ranchers and those working in agriculture give the rest of America incredible amounts of freedom because the search for food is as simple as going to the grocery store: “The future of American agriculture depends on the involvement and investment in America’s youth, In order to prepare for the population of tomorrow, we need to encourage America’s youth today, and show that careers in agriculture are profitable, rewarding, and vital.”.

Michael was born in the Ironbound section of Newark NJ in 1958. Born of Italian descent, and one of six children. He graduated from East Side High School in 1976. After high school, he mainly worked in his father's restaurant until he sold it in 1986. Although he was part of a very close and loving family, he seemed to always feel like something was amiss inside. His mother and father afforded him every opportunity to get ahead in life, but he always seemed to make the wrong decision. This continued to happen until June of 1987, which is when it seemed like his life went in a completely different direction. To Michael, it seemed that way because although his life got better on the material plane, he still did not have a sense of completeness within. Quotes from Michael [03:35] The reason why a person gets addicted to anything, is because the inward tells you to reach out for something. You need something to fill your void. [10:45] We're all addicts, we just use different things. Society only addresses the ones that are devastating. [11:18] If you can't just be with yourself, without needing to reach for something, that's the question. Why? [12:02] You become distracted by the distractions that distract you. [14:17] The thought is energy. It comes into your head, and what you do with it from there determines your life. [16:20] The labels that we apply to things, destroy us. They keep us entrapped in our suffering. That's what the conditioned mind is. [24:33] It's your own conditioning that limits you. Your own mind tells you to do something, and the same mind, questions why it was done. [28:36] The more that you can spend your life in the present moment, the more at peace you're going to be. [33:25] The older you get, the more conditioning you have, and the more of a puppet you become, and society is the puppeteer. [36:00] Your body is always in the present moment, your mind is all over the place. When you develop your body as an anchor, you put yourself in harmony with life, with universal energy. Timestamps. [14:58] How Michael embarked on his book writing. [18:13] Michael's experience and lessons learned while promoting his book. [21:24] Michael's experience with a fan Do you live a life that you've always wanted and you're still not happy? Are you not getting the most out of your life? Then it's time for you to look within and find out why. Joining us in the studio today is the author of It's Monday Only in your Mind, Michael Cupo. [01:56] The story behind the book, It's Monday Only in your Mind. Michael had addiction problems when he was young. He was, however, able to conquer his addictions when he was 28; got a job, got married, and even started a family. It was 13 years later though, that the real change happened. Although Michael's life was going on just fine, Perfect job, perfect family, perfect life. He couldn't help but think of how he was going to be there for his kids. This act of unselfishness is what caused the chain reaction leading to Michael's deep reflections and thoughts about his life. [8:07] Conquering his alcohol and drug addiction. Describing it as one of the most pivotal moments of his life, Michael's eldest brother died as a result of addiction. At the time, Michael was only 26 and knee-deep in drug and alcohol addiction. The death of their eldest son broke Michael's parents, who gave Michael the ultimatum of either straightening up or getting out. This began Michael's 2-year process of quitting his addictions. [23:32] The conditioned mind. What Michael presents, is the next step in the evolutionary process. When you don't need to reach for anything and you're o.k with who you are, just the way you are, just as it is. You're not looking to change what's happening in the present moment. It's your own conditioning that limits you. Your own mind tells you to do something, and the same mind, questions why it was done. Once you're able to start looking at yourself and understanding that it's you, that it's your own mind that's the enemy, it's when you start to understand the conditioned mind and you no longer blame the world. [32:30] The rat race The beginning stages of why humanity has developed the way it has is because, from the moment you're born, you're given a name. It's your attachment to that name that the problem begins. You spend the rest of your life identifying the name with jobs, marital status, social status, likes, dislikes, this, and that, and in the process, you fail to understand. You miss the process. You fail to understand what humanity's existence is all about. As your attachments increase every day, you lose your true essence, you lose who you truly are in the process. And you start looking more outside yourself for the answers. It's nobody's fault, of course, it just how humanity and society have designed itself.

Remember Lean on Me, the movie of the New Jersey high school principal, Joe Clark?  He's sharing some insight today on your Monday Maxim. This your mental Vitamin B. Each Monday I share a little motivation & insight to start the week. You’ve got a lot of people depending on you. There is big work for you to do. So here’s a maxim for you, the smart, ambitious woman, to help you SHINE. “Self-respect permeates every aspect of your life.”  - Joe Clark I lived in New Jersey for nearly a couple years.  That's where I learned to speak Spanish. That area, Paterson, New Jersey, is where I was assigned as a missionary for my church. Our local congregation's leader lived right around the corner from Eastside High School in Paterson.  First, Crazy Joe had to kick out the drugs and problems and focus on those who were coming to school to learn. This is a perfect lesson for each of us today. Kick out the stuff that doesn't belong.  Focus on the good.  The respect you give yourself is the same respect that others give you. How do you start to give yourself respect?  You earn it. Be dependable.  If you say you are going to get up when the alarm rings, do it.  Don't hit snooze.  Get your feet on the floor and walk. It feels great once that warm shower hits your body. Commit to yourself. When you make a commitment to your family, friends, or work, you know that job will be completed.  That's what makes you a smart, ambitious woman.  What about you?  If you tell yourself you are going to exercise at 7:30pm, but someone needs your help... you push it aside, don't you?  Of course you have.  No more.  You can tell your family & friends, "Look, I will happily help you, but first, I'm going to do this..." then walk out the door, they may be stunnned.  But they know you are serious.  The people in your life aren't taking you seriously because you don't take yourself seriously.   Kick out the junk.  It's spring here in the Pacific Northwest.  I'm on a spring cleaning high!  I love getting rid of all the junk that has accumulated over the winter...(Where did all of that stuff come from, anyway???)  What is left is space to move and breathe.  A better environment for all of us here. It's the same with your habits.  You may have collected a few that are holding you back.  You know it's time.  Replace those habits with healthier ones and see how those tiny steps add up to big changes in your life. 

"Do whatever you have to to transform and transmogrify this school into a special place where the hearts and souls and minds of the young can rise." Eastside High School needs some cleaning up and Morgan Freeman is going to make sure it gets done hosts Serg Beret and Patrick Raissi witness the 1989 biopic of "Crazy" Joe Clark, "Lean on Me."

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew discuss the 1989 dramatized biographical film, Lean On Me. The movie stars Morgan Freeman as Joe Clark, a principal that was put in charge of a East Side High School in New Jersey to prevent it from being taken over by the state due to poor test scores. Through harsh tactics and a refusal to give up on his students, Clark inspires them to be more than they ever thought possible.

Norman’s latest production is My Dog Tulip, the celebrated novel by J.R. Ackerley, that is being made into a full length animated feature.  Paul Fierlinger is the film’s director, screen writer and sole animator and his wife Sandra is his background and image painter. This film will be the first animated feature ever to be entirely hand drawn and painted utilizing paperless computer technology.
