The judge ruled that the existing maps, drawn by the Republican majority in 2021, overlooked significant population growth among minorities since 2010. Democrats are likely to gain ground, with the mandate to add one Black majority congressional district, two Georgia Senate districts, and five state House seats. Although Republicans lost seats in the 2022 elections, they retained solid majorities in both chambers, making immediate Democratic control unlikely. The special session for redistricting is expected to be brief. STORY 5: Cherokee County Juvenile Court Receives Over $740,000 in Grant Funding Cherokee County Juvenile Court has been awarded $741,504 in federal grants to establish a Family Treatment Court and enhance the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court. A $363,847 three-year grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention will help establish the Family Treatment Court, focusing on families facing dependency allegations due to parental substance abuse. The court aims to provide evidence-based substance abuse treatment, parenting services, and expedited support for families. Additionally, a $377,657 two-year grant will enhance services for youth aged 14 to 17 with nonviolent drug charges through the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court program, focusing on reducing recidivism.     Commercial:  DAYCO – ELON – INGLES 8     STORY 6: INGLES - LEAH And now here is Bruce Jenkins Conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingle Markets on cross contact and contamination.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of November 18th      Publish Date: November 17th    Henssler :15  From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast    Today is Tuesday, November 21st and Happy heavenly Birthday to MLB HOF Stan ‘The Man' Musial. ***STAN MUSIAL – 3000th HIT*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Rosalynn Carter dies at age 96 Warnock looking to extend insulin cost cap to all diabetes patients Cherokee Included in Drought-Impacted Disaster Areas   Plus, Bruce Jenkins sits down with Leah McGrath to discuss essential oils.   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: Rosalynn Carter dies at age 96 Rosalynn Carter, former first lady and advocate for mental health reform, passed away at her home in Plains at the age of 96. She played a pioneering role in destigmatizing mental illness, pushing for legislative reform, and co-founding the immunization program Every Child By Two. Alongside her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, they continued their commitment to public service through the Carter Center, focusing on global projects. Rosalynn Carter was recognized as one of the most activist first ladies, contributing significantly to various causes during and after her time in the White House. STORY 2: Warnock looking to extend insulin cost cap to all diabetes patients U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock and Sen. John Kennedy are collaborating on federal legislation to extend the cap on insulin costs to the general population. Initially, Warnock played a key role in introducing a provision limiting insulin costs to $35 per month for Medicare enrollees in the Inflation Reduction Act passed last year. The senators' study revealed that over a quarter of U.S. counties, including 105 in Georgia, are "Insulin Deserts" with high uninsured rates and diabetes prevalence. The report emphasizes the need for legislation to make insulin affordable for both privately insured and uninsured Americans due to its high costs compared to other countries. STORY 3: Cherokee Included in Drought-Impacted Disaster Areas U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has declared 11 additional Georgia counties in North Georgia as natural disaster areas due to prolonged drought conditions. This follows a previous natural disaster declaration covering four counties in Northwest Georgia. The newly added counties, including Bartow, Cherokee, Dawson, Fannin, Floyd, Gilmer, Gordon, Lumpkin, Murray, Pickens, and Whitfield, have experienced eight or more weeks of severe, extreme, or exceptional drought. The declaration enables the Farm Service Agency to provide essential emergency credit to affected farmers for addressing drought-related challenges, such as replacing equipment or livestock, reorganizing farming operations, or refinancing loans.

Severe weather poses a risk, especially in NW Georgia, with potential gusts reaching 45 mph. The threat intensifies Tuesday morning through the afternoon, primarily in the southern regions. Expect drier conditions by late Tuesday into Wednesday. Stay updated and vigilant while traveling for a safe and secure Thanksgiving celebration. STORY 5: Georgia attraction makes Travel and Leisure's international list of places to visit in 2024 In 2024, Macon, Georgia, stands out as one of The 50 Best Places to Travel, particularly for cultural immersion, according to Travel + Leisure. Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, with its ancient earthen mounds created by Native American peoples, tops the list. The site's potential as Georgia's first national park and the first in the U.S. co-managed by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation adds to its appeal. Tracie Revis of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation emphasizes the significance of the park as a homecoming. The best time to visit is in September during the town's Indigenous film festival. Other notable destinations on the list include Kansas City, Missouri, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and Coastal Campania, Italy.   Commercial:  DAYCO - ELON – INGLES 6 STORY 6: INGLES - LEAH And, now here is Bruce Jenkins Conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on essential oils.

What do you want to see from the Steelers against Green Bay? Geoge Pickens has been frustrated so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Steelers force him the ball. Crowley won't be satisfied if the Steelers have another game they gut out at the end, but will be happy they won. Is winning ugly good enough?

Hour 1: What do you want to see from the Steelers against Green Bay? George Pickens has been frustrated so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Steelers force him the ball. Crowley won't be satisfied if the Steelers have another game they gut out at the end, but will be happy they won. Is winning ugly good enough? Dorin will feel elated if Kenny Pickett plays the best game of his career Sunday with 300 yards and 2+ touchdowns, but don't win the game. Crowley would not be pleased because of the loss, but happy to see from Pickett. Cleveland and Cincinnati are coming up, so this is a must-win game for Crowley. Crowley put up his Christmas tree yesterday. Dorin and Austin think he's overlooking Thanksgiving. Matt Canada commented on George Pickens and his desire to get the football. Matt Canada called a good game against Jacksonville and Tennessee. What's your confidence level in Matt Canada? It appears the players like the one-on-one communication with Canada on the sideline, so they will stick with it since it worked! Crowley thinks Canada should be graded on a curve.

Ray joins us to talk about the Chuks reports, how Tomlin handled Pickens, why Heyward missed practice yesterday, what to expect from the Packers and more. 

KDKA TV legend Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob thinks the Chuks Okorafor story is the best secret around town right now and he himself doesn't know what he said. Bob believes it has a lot to do with Broderick Jones being the player in waiting and Chuks not being a superstar. Pomp doesn't agree with what Merril Hoge said about George Pickens not being a player you can win with. He thinks Pickens should have gone about things in a different way, but isn't overly worried yet that it will become a huge deal…yet. Pomp said don't get worried about a trade request from Pickens after the season – saying he'd be shocked if that happened. Are the Steelers bound to make the playoffs and get blown out of the water once they get there? Bob didn't reveal how picks are looking among KDKA TV personalities on Sunday, but said he does not like the Packers right now. 

Pitt Radio Network football announcer and former Pitt QB Pat Bostick joins for the entire hour to talk about some of the drama surrounding the Steeler, among some other hot, sports news!

Steve Palazzolo from Pro Football Focus joined the show. Steve likes what he has seen from Joey Porter Jr. to this point in the season. Steve said George Pickens is a little bit blow his expectations coming into the season, but it isn't at a drastic level. He thinks Pickens may even be underrated in certain areas of his game and can understand his frustration. Steve said there has to be a purpose to getting Pickens involved in the offense. Steve thinks Kenny Pickett has been better these last few weeks than he was early in the season, but he describes some of the plays as “empty calories” because nothing has really come easy. Steve thinks Pickett is still firmly in the bottom third of the league among QBs. Steve gives Pickett the nod over Jordan Love when it comes to the QB matchup on Sunday. 

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray told us if we should be worried by the Steelers injury report and doesn't think it's likely that Minkah Fitzpatrick will play. Ray said it would be a bad setback for Cam Heyward if he is unable to go on Sunday. Ray commented on the state of the inside linebacker position with Cole Holcomb being out for the season. Ray said Sunday is a bigger game than people are realizing given what the Steelers will face down the stretch. Ray credited a few of the veteran offensive players for chatting with George Pickens following last Thursday's game. Ray doesn't think the offense will force the football to Pickens because the Steelers still find a lot of importance in the lack of turnovers from Kenny Pickett. Ray gave his thoughts on the Chuks Okorafor situation. 

Poni is close to labeling this game on Sunday as a must-win against the Packers because the Steelers will need to be 6-3 heading into a tough stretch of the schedule. The injury report is out and there are some worrisome names on the Steelers defense. We got back into what Mike Florio said yesterday – that the Steelers could make the playoffs, but will get destroyed when they do. Poni listed some teams that the Steelers could realistically face in the first round of the playoffs and if they would have any chance of winning. Do listeners think the Steelers would get dominated in the playoffs? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show.

Ray gave his thoughts on the Chuks Okorafor situation.  Power Rankings.

Who deserves the most blame for where the offense is at right now – Matt Canada or Kenny Pickett? Poni is surprised by the number of fans who have seemed to come around on the offensive coordinator. Canada doesn't seem to be happy on the sideline, but it seems like it worked at least a little bit on Thursday night. Callers seemed to think Canada is still more to blame than the QB.  Steve Palazzolo from Pro Football Focus joined the show. Steve likes what he has seen from Joey Porter Jr. to this point in the season. Steve said George Pickens is a little bit blow his expectations coming into the season, but it isn't at a drastic level.

Steve gives Pickett the nod over Jordan Love when it comes to the QB matchup on Sunday.  Donny Football Debrief – Can we safely say tonight is the worst Thursday Night Football game of the season?

Is the George Pickens situation much ado about nothing? Poni doesn't think so. He said he'd be lying if he felt like it was truly not a big deal. He thinks it could become something in the not-too-distant future if his numbers don't get better as the season goes on. Callers gave their thoughts on what is happening with the young Steelers receiver. Should there be a better effort to get Pickens involved?   KDKA TV legend Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob thinks the Chuks Okorafor story is the best secret around town right now and he himself doesn't know what he said. Bob believes it has a lot to do with Broderick Jones being the player in waiting and Chuks not being a superstar.

Are the Steelers bound to make the playoffs and get blown out of the water once they get there? Bob didn't reveal how picks are looking among KDKA TV personalities on Sunday, but said he does not like the Packers right now.  Canada's Calls – The guys broke down what Matt Canada said to the media earlier today. 

Rashard Mendenhall spoke out against Ben Roethlisberger, referencing the Super Bowl loss to the Packers. Mendenhall said Ben never takes the blame for big losses. Who deserves the blame for that loss? The guys agreed that the loss to the Packers in Super Bowl 45 stings a lot more now than then because the last decade plus for the Steelers have not been memorable.  Matt Canada said George Pickens is in a good place and continues to feed into the fact that they aren't worried about his behavior following last week's win. Will the Steelers get him the ball more on Sunday? How will he respond going forward if he has another lackluster game? Are you worried Pickens will push for a trade if he has bad numbers at the end of this season? 

The Steelers pull off a win on Thursday Night Football against the Tennessee Titans; this week there's an old school vibe in the air as the Green Bay Packers make their way to Pittsburgh. Join your hosts as we recap the win over the Titans, preview some matchups against Green Bay, and pick some highly anticipated games around the league at the halfway point in the NFL regular season.

The Batkonian Mongoose joins us for his thoughts on the Steelers and the insight he can provide from being in the Steelers locker room with the Pickens drama happening and more. 

Brian joins us to talk about the Steelers and their handling of the Pickens situation, Kenny Pickett's play, what the Steelers have on their hands with the Packers and more. 

Chris Hoke joins us in-studio and talks about the George Pickens drama, why the running game worked so much better and broke down Kenny Pickett's play as well. 

His teammates detailed how they tried to help him out with his frustrations last week, yet the man himself said he wasn't upset and he was happy because they won. What's going on with the George Pickens and Steelers situation? 

Kenny Pickett talked about keeping Pickens happy yesterday and gave an X's and O's change they can make to get him the ball. 

We start the show by detailing and hearing from Steelers players talking about having to talk to and calm down George Pickens. But, Pickens says that he was happy if anything. What's going on here? 

Matt Canada said George Pickens is in a good place and continues to feed into the fact that they aren't worried about his behavior following last week's win. Will the Steelers get him the ball more on Sunday? How will he respond going forward if he has another lackluster game? Are you worried Pickens will push for a trade if he has bad numbers at the end of this season? 

The Green Bay Packers will look to build off their momentum from a win vs. the Rams, as they travel East to face the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend. Jordan Love and company will have to deal with T.J. Watt and a pass rush that can wreck even the best offensive line. Will the Packers lean on Aaron Jones again, or put the ball in the air? On the flip side, this Packers defense could very well have to deal with George Pickens without Jaire Alexander. Have Carrington Valentine and Corey Ballentine shown enough to inspire confidence on the edges? Host Kassidy Hill is joined by reporters Tom Silverstein and Ryan Wood to break down the coming game, debate who should start at safety and discuss the 2017 draft, in which the Packers passed on Watt. Plus, they provide some commentary on the wedding reception songs everyone knows.

"Bleav in Steelers" hosts Ike Taylor and Mark Bergin discuss Mike Tomlin's commentary about dealing with the frustrations of second-year wide receiver George Pickens. Pickens wasn't happy about only having two catches against the Tennessee Titans despite having back-to-back 100-yard performances in the two games before that. Tomlin said "it's easy" to coach Pickens through adversity, saying "it's a pebble in my shoe." Also, the guys discuss Tomlin's support of Kenny Pickett's fourth-quarter performances despite having a lower passer rating in the first three quarters of games. Heading into Week 10, Pickett has a passer rating of 75.3 from quarters one through three but a 108.2 passer rating in the final 15 minutes of games. The guys discuss rookies Broderick Jones and Joey Porter Jr. starting for the team. Ike explains the mentality elite cornerbacks must have in the NFL. Also, the guys discuss how the Steelers need to slow down Green Bay Packers running backs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon. Pickett must know where Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander is at all times too. Last, the guys talk about the Dallas Cowboys signing of former Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant. Ike was Bryant's teammate in the 2014 season.

November 8, 2023 - Season 14, Episode 46 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex and I quickly talk about the early health outlook for the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of their Week 10 Sunday home game against the Green Bay Packers. This is based on what head coach Mike Tomlin had to say on Tuesday during his press conference. That means we discuss the Sunday outlook for S Minkah Fitzpatrick in-depth. There are a few interesting trends to discuss ahead of the Sunday game against the Packers thanks to the Steelers announcing on Tuesday that they will be wearing their block numeral throwbacks for that contest. Tomlin's weekly press conference provided quite a few juicy talking points for us to discuss during this Wednesday show. Those talking points include rookie tackle Broderick Jones likely remaining the starter on Sunday against the Packers on the right side. I have Alex look into his crystal ball when it comes to who he thinks will be the Steelers' starting tackles come week One of the 2024 season. Tomlin also addressed the current situation with frustrated WR George Pickens on Tuesday, so we obviously discuss all that he had to say on that topic. We hone-in on Tomlin calling the Pickens' frustration just a “pebble in his shoe” right now. We discuss how Tomlin handled that topic with the media on Tuesday. Tomlin also talked about QB Kenny Pickett, OC Matt Canada, CB Joey Porter Jr., the inside linebacker position, and running back playing time on Tuesday so we make sure to address all of those talking pints thoroughly in this show as well. Former Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall is back in the news as of Tuesday and we tell you why. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 76-minute episode, and we get to a several listener emails to close out the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense hasn't used George Pickens much the last couple of games, but that's all part of why Pickens could be the key to unlock the rest of the offense. It's all about balance, creating more matchups for Kenny Pickett to exploit, and forcing defenses to pick a poison. But can Pickens really help Diontae Johnson, Najee Harris, and eventually Pat Freiermuth and company to have more chances as playmakers? Chris Carter answers that. Also, how does Matt Canada being on the sideline help the Steelers? It's a lot simpler than anyone's making it, because it's about personal connection between Canada and the Steelers' players on gameday. Finally, is the defense ready to turn the corner? Chris Carter thinks they're in a similar spot as last season with a healthier T.J. Watt, a better Alex Highsmith, Cam Heyward's return, as well as a potential return for Minkah Fitzpatrick.

November 6, 2023 - Season 14, Episode 45 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex and I quickly talk about the game that Minnesota Vikings QB Josh Dobbs had on Sunday. Every team in the AFC North won in Week Nine so Alex and I make sure to go over the state of that division entering Week 10. The Pittsburgh Steelers made a few transactions on Monday morning, so we discuss that news in addition to a few fines that NFL handed down to players over the weekend related to Week Eight action. Is Steelers WR George Pickens a distraction right now due to his attitude? Is he going to be a problem for the team moving forward and will he ultimately see a second contract in Pittsburgh? Alex and I dive into all of the questions and more related to Pickens. We have now hit the 20-game mark for Steelers QB Kenny Pickett, so Alex and I take time in this episode to evaluate him and go over the good, bad, and ugly related to his overall play so far. We attempt to rank Pickett league-wide as part of an exercise and look ahead at what is next for him as he attempts to show he can become a long-term franchise quarterback in Pittsburgh. Alex and I make sure to mix in some all-22 talk related to the Steelers Week Nine win on Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans with most of that talk being related to the offensive side of the football. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 107-minute episode, and we get to a several listener emails to close out the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Tyler Rowland of the Locked on Titans podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers face a rookie quarterback in Will Levis who threw four touchdown passes in his debut, three of them to DeAndre Hopkins. Are they ready to stop them? T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith face a mediocre offensive line, and they could be the difference-makers. But for Kenny Pickett and the Steelers' offense, they'll face a Tennessee Titans defense led by Jefferey Simmons and a tough defensive front. But could the key to opening up the offense be George Pickens' combat catch ability against a shaky secondary?
