Deep Roots Wine Market & Tasting Room, based in Roswell, is expanding to a new location in downtown Woodstock. The new location is expected to open late this summer and will feature a larger bar, intimate seating options, and private event spaces. Deep Roots' Woodstock location will sell domestic wines and use Napa Technology WineStation dispensing machines for sampling. Customers will be able to sample from 40 bottles, and the retailer will also have a selection of domestic sparkling wines poured by the glass, and craft beer options. The Woodstock location will also serve wine pairing dishes such as tapas, flatbreads, cheese, charcuterie, and desserts. The owner hopes to create a Woodstock Wine Club, similar to their Roswell club, and host wine tasting and educational events for the Woodstock community. Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services are conducting annual fire hydrant inspections throughout the county, which may cause temporary discoloration of tap water due to sediment being disturbed in the water mains. This does not pose a health risk, and residents are advised to turn on their cold water and run it for a few minutes until the water clears up. If the problem persists for over 10 minutes, residents should contact their water provider for guidance. The fire hydrants are required to have a three-foot clear space around the circumference, and for any questions about fire hydrant access, contact the Cherokee County Fire Marshal's office. The Peace, Love and Recycle community event will take place at the Public Works building on 2525 Ridge Road in Canton from 7 a.m. to noon today. Canton city residents can bring electronics, tires, paint, paper and other difficult-to-recycle materials.

Resiliency can be defined as the ability to bounce back during adverse events in someone's life, and the Air Force considers it a key topic when discussing the wingman culture. This past year has certainly presented many challenges to everyone in the center. The approaching holiday season is a time of fellowship and joy for most, but for some it can be a particularly challenging time of year. The recent uptick in COVID-19 cases could make it even more difficult to meet and host traditional celebrations, which could leave vulnerable members isolated and alone. Two of AFLCMC's senior enlisted leaders, the center's command chief Chief Master Sgt. Troie Croft and the center's 1st Sgt. Senior Master Sgt. Elise Phillips recently sat down for an in depth discussion about resiliency and shared some insights on how to be resilient through the holiday season. The key take away is to not be afraid to ask for help. There are a number of support services available that were mentioned in the conversation such as: the Military & Family Life Counseling Program, Military OneSource and Employee Assistance Program. For more information on all things related to AFLCMC visit our website at: https://www.aflcmc.af.mil.

AFLCMC has a new 1st Sgt. In the Air Force an organization's 1st Sgt, who can also be known as the 1st shirt or just the shirt, is a special duty rank and is a positional job. In our sister services the Army and Marine Corps first sergeant is an actual rank and not a special duty position. The position in the Air Force is held by a member of the senior NCO corps in the grades of E-7 through E-9. They report directly to the unit commander or deputy commander of operations. They are responsible for the morale, welfare and conduct of all the enlisted members in an organization and serve as the chief adviser to the organization's leadership concerning the enlisted force. We had a chance to talk with Senior Master Sgt. Elise Phillips about her background and her thoughts on her role serving in such a wide reaching and varied organization like the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center.
