A woman charged in connection with the death of a toddler in Canton is now charged with second-degree murder in the case, police announced Friday. Phillissa Diallo, from Canton, was arrested Wednesday and charged with second degree cruelty to children and concealing a death, Canton Police Department reported. Friday, detectives secured an additional felony warrant and have charged Diallo with second-degree murder. According to the Canton Police Department, police received a walk-in report of a deceased toddler found inside a residence and responded at about 4:10 p.m. Wednesday to a home on Hearthstone Landing Drive, where they found the body of a female toddler. GBI Crime Lab will examine the body to determine the cause of death and identification confirmation. The toddler's death remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Canton Police Department. A north Georgia DJ was killed in a crash on Interstate 575 near Canton Thursday. According to the Cherokee Sheriff's Office, deputies responded at about 3 p.m. Thursday on Interstate 575 south near the Old Vandiver Road overpass. Preliminary indications are that Daniel Blankowski, of Talking Rock, driving a Kia Sedona south on the interstate, struck the rear of a Toyota FJ that had stopped for traffic due to a different accident in the city of Canton, the sheriff's office reported. Blankowski was transported to Northside Hospital Cherokee, where he died from his injuries, authorities said. The driver of the FJ was transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Blankowski was known as DJ Dano to friends and others in the community, his daughter, Jazeri McHenry, said. McHenry said the local coroner told the family Blankowski had a heart attack while driving. The crash remains under investigation by the Cherokee Sheriff's Office Traffic Enforcement Unit. Cherokee County District Attorney Shannon Wallace has been appointed by Governor Brian Kemp to serve as the county's newest Superior Court judge, the governor's office announced. Wallace will be the fourth judge on the Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit Superior Court, a position created earlier this year by state law. Cherokee is the only county in the Blue Ridge circuit. Wallace is Cherokee County's first female district attorney. Before being elected, she was the chief assistant district attorney for the former District Attorney Garry Moss. Before coming to the district attorney's office, Wallace was a prosecutor in the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit in middle Georgia. She handled all manner of major felony offenses there, according to the governor's office, but quickly developed a passion for handling crimes against women and children. Wallace sits on the board of Cherokee FOCUS, a Cherokee County collaborative that focuses on creating strong family units. District Attorney Wallace also sits on the board of Cherokee Triad - S.A.L.T. and is an active member of the Canton Rotary and Cherokee Chamber of Commerce. The district attorney graduated cum laude from the University of Georgia in 1999 with a bachelor's in psychology and criminal Justice. She then received her juris doctor from the University of Georgia School of Law, graduating cum laude in 2002. The Reinhardt women's basketball team picked up its sixth consecutive win before heading into the winter break. Led by Maria Sanchez Ponce's double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds, the Eagles posted a 75-67 win over Bluefield on Tuesday to improve to 13-3 this season. It was a big offensive game for Reinhardt, which had three players in double figures, led by Julia Craft's 22 points and Summer Cramer's 13. Cramer also had a team-best seven assists. The Eagles also remained undefeated in the Appalachian Athletic Conference at 12-0, already nearing last year's conference win total of 15. Twelve conference games still reside on the schedule before the AAC tournament begins Feb. 20. Sanchez Ponce, a freshman from Spain, is third on Reinhardt's scoring chart at 10.1 points per game and second in rebounding with 7.1 per game. She has the highest field goal percentage on the team, converting on 51.9% of her shots. Ashley Woodroffe leads the Eagles in scoring at 14.8 points per game, followed by Craft's 12.9. Tarrah Gibson is grabbing 7.5 rebounds per game to lead the team, with 3.1 assists also counting as a team-best. Reinhardt is the only team in the AAC with an undefeated conference record, while its overall record is also the best. Bryan, Milligan, and Point trail the Eagles in the standings. Cherokee High School had six all-region selections in 5AAAAAAA, along with nine honorable mentions following the conclusion of the 2022 season. Senior linebacker Kyan Simmons and junior defensive lineman Javon Hobson earned first-team honors. Simmons finished the year with 103 tackles, 11 sacks and 10 tackles for loss, while Hobson tallied 58 tackles, seven sacks and seven tackles for loss. Simmons had a big impact in Cherokee's 30-14 win at Kennesaw Mountain toward the end of the season. It was the deciding game on if the Warriors would qualify for the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs, and Simmons totaled 13 tackles, four tackles for loss and two sacks. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound linebacker received his first Division I offer from Marist on Monday. Cherokee's other two first-team members were senior kicker Rodion Averianov and junior punter Reed Chandley. Averianov connected on four of six field goals this season with a long of 51 yards and did not miss an extra point all year, despite being a late addition to the team. Chandley averaged 40 yards per punt, which Shaw said consistently gave the Warriors an advantage in flipping field position. Another special teams player, long snapper Spencer Radnoti, also deserved recognition, according to Shaw. On the all-region second team, the Warriors saw junior receiver Pops Jameson and junior defensive lineman JD Burn earn recognition. Jameson finished the season as Cherokee's leading receiver with 400 yards and four touchdowns on 32 receptions, while Burn finished with 42 tackles, six tackles for loss and one sack. Sophomore quarterback Tanner Savasir led the Warriors' nine honorable mentions, along with Jayce Jones, one of Savasir's favorite targets in the passing game. The Cherokee County fire department's first chief has died. Joe Carmichael died December 10 at his home in Corryton, Tennessee, at the age of 79. Carmichael was born in Birmingham and moved to Cherokee County in 1972, spending a large portion of his adult life in Cherokee before he eventually moved to Tennessee. The former fire chief began his fire service career at the City of Atlanta Fire Department. In Cherokee County, he started out as a firefighter in the Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department. Carmichael became Cherokee County's first fire chief in 1973 when he noticed there was no fire protection. All firefighter positions were volunteer. The fire chief position was on a volunteer basis until 1976, when Carmichael became the official fire chief of unincorporated Cherokee County and started receiving pay for his services. Carmichael also founded the Oak Grove Civic Association. The county's fire department has grown from fewer than 10 members when it first went paid to almost 500 members today. Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services plans to have a small memorial service in the spring, according to a Facebook post by the department. #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews - - - - - - The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County.

It was time to do a promo for HRN 451, to be titled New Rig… Who Dis?. David W0DHG was driving home (LA) from San Francisco. Gary K4AAQ anchored from the Studio in the Bonus Room Above the Garage on the North Side of Fort Mill (SC), in the Shadow of Charlotte, at the Foot of Mt. Belzoni.A little over three hours later, then were done… apparently only because David arrived home.David was in SF to visit one of his daughters. While they were attending an event, David's rental car (good gas mileage offset rental price) was broken into, and his backpack with a PC and his AnyTone HT (in the trunk, not on the seat, so the thief was onto that trick) were stolen. And a window was broken. So much for savings. Likely his 2007 Toyota FJ, bristling with antennae, would not have been so assaulted. No, it doesn't take three hours to tell that story, so clearly there's more. Probably about 45 minutes of real entertainment, sadly embedded in 3+ hours of ‘show'.Oh, and ‘PROMORE'? That may have been a typo in the chat, or it may have been deliberate. Anyway, it's a new way to label our extended ‘promo' videos. WARNING!! A Zoom issue caused David's end of the call to echo everything Gary said. Gary - hearing his own voice which he loves - was good with that. Gary's wife Cyndi KD4ACW, said it was ‘very annoying'. This Website agrees with Cyndi. Listen at your own risk

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Toyota FJ Cruiser - the "other" Land Cruiser. The FJ Cruiser was Toyota's attempt at harkening back to the off-road roots of the Toyota Land Cruiser. This was done in the form of a quirky mid-size SUV that was inspired by the FJ40 from the 1960s. The question is, if the FJ40 was so successful, why wasn't the FJ Cruiser?

In this episode of TFL Talkin' Cars, Tommy and Roman discuss one of the lowest-depreciating cars around - and no, it's not the Jeep Wrangler. It is, in fact, the Toyota FJ Cruiser, which can set you back nearly as much as they cost to buy new! Here's what you need to know, and why you should consider picking one up. Or, if that's too much for your blood, consider a 4Runner.
The boys try to diagnose a non-working vacuum advance mechanism in Chris's car, then quickly shift to talk with guest Carl Anthony from Automoblog.net.

In this episode, we invite the legendary Jonathan Ward into the studio to talk about affordable vintage watches! Jonathan has a long history with The Smoking Tire, as the creator of an incredible array of project cars for some very wealthy paying customers. He is primarily known for the ICON series of Toyota FJ and Ford Bronco resto-mods, but if it's mechanical and manly, odds are, Jon knows a lot about it. He has over 100 watches, and so we asked him to bring a selection of fine vintage watches that could be bought online for under $1,000. We go over several examples, and then Jon gives us his strategy for finding good vintage watches on eBay. Finally, we get an exclusive look at the final, production version of Jon's first ever watch design, "The Duesey," and it's very cool storage box. Learn more about Jonathan Ward, his custom trucks, or The Duesey watch at: http://www.icon4x4.comThis episode is available as a video!

I like me. I like me not. I like me. I like me not. Have you ever felt that way? Some moments you love who you are and then some days you can't bear to look in the mirror. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. I was there recently. You know, I think that sometimes it's not that we dislike ourselves, it's that we dislike where we are at. For instance, no one expects anyone to be happy about a hurricane, but we can find happy in the midst of one. In this episode we're roadtrippin' with Stevo. Coming to you from my friend's Toyota FJ in the Mountains of Southern California. What am I doing there? Painting. Why am I painting in the mountains of California and how do I feel about it?
