POPULARITY
Westbound 1/3/53 Gunsmoke was a long-running American old-time radio and television Western drama created by director Norman MacDonnell and writer John Meston. The stories took place in or about Dodge City, Kansas, during the settlement of the American West. The radio version ran from 1952 to 1961, and is commonly regarded as one of the finest radio dramas of all time; the television version ran from 1955 to 1975 and still holds the record for the longest-running U.S. prime time fictional television program.
On this episode, Michelle San Miguel and Jeremy Bernfeld have an in-depth report on our continuing investigation into the Washington Bridge. Our story looks at how and why Rhode Island's Department of Transportation (RIDOT) may have missed warning signs lurking inside critical components which ultimately led to closure and demolishing of the Westbound side of the bridge. Then, our contributor Anaridis Rodriguez and producer Isabella Jibilian report on how violence affects young people's mental health and how the Nonviolence Institute in Providence is working with them and teaching them how to cope in nonviolent ways. Finally, Michelle San Miguel and our contributor, WPRI 12's Politics Editor Ted Nesi explain why lawmaker have about $65 million dollars more to work with to craft the budget than they anticipated.

Strong brewing communities produce clusters of great breweries, and the Colorado brewing world, centered in Denver, is no different. Friendly competition drives innovation, exploration, and refinement as well as knowledgeable consumers with higher and higher expectations, and in this episode, we brought together three friends (each medal-winning brewers) for a conversation on their approach to West coast IPA. Brian Hutchinson of Cannonball Creek (http://www.cannonballcreekbrewing.com) has brought home a slew of medals in the pale ale space (11 total GABF and World Beer Cup medals between their pale ale and session IPA), and picked up a GABF gold medal last year for their New Zealand-style IPA.

And Phil Joyce of Amalgam (https://www.amalgambrewing.com) most recently brought home gold for West coast IPA in the Colorado Brewers Cup, after placing fourth at the Alpha King Challenge last year. In this episode, the three move through a range of IPA brewing topics, including: designing IPA with clean flavors that are easy to linguistically identify decocting and step mashing WCIPA for higher attenuation, foam stability, and FAN uptake building a malt base in WCIPA with blends of Pilsner malt using flaked wheat in smaller percentages for mouthfeel fermenting with Chico yeast for dry and low-ester beers minimizing hop creep with ALDC, diacetyl-free yeast, and other yeast health tools driving faster and healthier fermentations for more vibrant hop character understand the impact of water on WCIPA integrating flavor and bitterness the impact of pH on hop expression selecting loud hops that punch hard And more.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got a lot going on. There are two elections happening in Canada right now, and probably not the ones you expect. Meanwhile, Israel's war is expanding to Hezbollah now as they launch attacks both big and small around the regions, just in time for the start of another October. For the interview, we've got our local Member of Provincial Parliament who's still trying to stay on top of the premier's recent colour commentary. This Thursday, September 26, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Eastbound and Westbound. There's been a lot of election talk lately, but it's more than just talk on the east and the west coast. While Blaine Higgs hopes to get back to a more comfortable majority position even as the Liberals seem to be surging in New Brunswick, the more interesting race is in British Columbia where the NDP and the new provincial Conservative Party are neck-and-neck with Conservative leader John Rustad taking culture war silliness for a spin. We'll catch up with both races. "De-escalation Though Escalation." That's a line from Axios' politics and foreign policy reporter Barak Ravid about the Israeli government's strategy when it comes to their recent attacks against Hezbollah, first with a serious of attacks using exploding pagers and then with missile attacks on Lebanon. You might note that Israel was fighting a war against Hamas, and as we approach the first anniversary of the October 7 attacks, there's no sign that anything resembling de-escalation is coming. Is a regional war inevitable? Blame It on the Lane. This Friday, Mike Schreiner will accept the nomination of the local Green Party to be their candidate in the next provincial election, so naturally, Premier Doug Ford has spent the week giving Schreiner great new material to run on. From cancelling bike lanes to telling unhoused people to get off their ass and get a job, it's been a banner week for Ford, so Schreiner's going to tell us why he's still focused on getting people housed, and why he wants to put climate action back on the legislative menu at Queen's Park! Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
In this exciting follow up, Matt "Flounder" Arny continues the epic story of the 1924 World Flight, diving into the challenges and adventures faced after the final preparations.

The episode wraps up with liberty adventures in Shanghai and Bangkok.Drawing from historical sources like First World Flight by Lowell Thomas, Around the World in 175 Days by Carroll Glines, and First Flight Around the World by Tim Grove, this episode captures the drama and international intrigue surrounding one of the greatest feats in aviation history.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donations

Last week, Westbound & Down Brewing announced that it had acquired two breweries, Aspen Brewing and Capitol Creek Brewery's brewpub, both in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley. The deal, says Jake Gardner the Director of Brewing Operations at Westbound & Down Brewing Company, is part of a plan the brewery has been eyeing for a while. There was a desire to expand in a meaningful way, while still staying true to the brewing ethos that has guided Westbound and Down since it opened in 2015. We'll talk business and the growth projections, and how Aspen's 7,000 barrel capacity, and Capitol Creek Brewery's brewpub will blend with the existing infrastructure. But we're also going to talk about IPA, barrel-aged beer, and how the brewery wants to be great at all that it does. That goal squares with Gardner's background. He started professionally brewing at Breckenridge Brewery in 2011 before transitioning to Hogshead Brewery where he worked his way up to head brewer in 2013. While working at Hogshead he connected with three mug club members who ended up becoming partners in opening Westbound & Down Brewing.

Comprehensive coverage of the day's news with a focus on war and peace; social, environmental and economic justice. Residents of Gaza say Israeli forces dropped leaflets today, warning Palestinians to flee parts of southern Gaza. That signals a possible expansion of their operations to the zone where most of the territory's population has fled to escape Israel's bombardment and ground assault. Lack of fuel may soon shut down the United Nations' entire humanitarian operation in the Gaza Strip, according to the head of the agency responsible for supplying aid to the territory. President Joe Biden spoke at the Asia-Pacific Economic Summit (APEC) in San Francisco, saying the decisions made there will affect the entire world. He highlighted the strong ties between the U.S. and the other 20 members of APEC and emphasized the importance of high labor standards and workers' rights. The speech comes a day after Biden met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the summit. Spain's Socialist Prime Minister secured a second four year term today four months after hard fought parliamentary elections were held last July. The new government relies on support from separatist political leaders in Spain's Catalan region. They were promised amnesty for pro independence activity in Catalunya. Tens of thousands of conservative and right wing opponents to amnesty have held sometimes violent protests in recent days. Judge David Friedman of New York's intermediate appeals court issued a stay on the gag order that barred Donald Trump from maligning court staff in his fraud trial. Republican Congressman George Santos of New York says he won't run for reelection in 2024 after a scathing House Ethics Committee report on his conduct cited “overwhelming evidence” of lawbreaking.

President Joe Biden spoke at the Asia-Pacific Economic Summit (APEC) in San Francisco, saying the decisions made there will affect the entire world. He highlighted the strong ties between the U.S. and the other 20 members of APEC and emphasized the importance of high labor standards and workers' rights. The speech comes a day after Biden met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the summit. Spain's Socialist Prime Minister secured a second four year term today four months after hard fought parliamentary elections were held last July. The new government relies on support from separatist political leaders in Spain's Catalan region. They were promised amnesty for pro independence activity in Catalunya. Tens of thousands of conservative and right wing opponents to amnesty have held sometimes violent protests in recent days.

This episode of the podcast was recorded live from Odell Brewing Sloans Lake as part of our recent Brewery Workshop: New Brewery Accelerator event in Denver, Colorado. The three panel guests—Jake Gardner, Director of Brewing Operations for Westbound & Down (https://westboundanddown.com), Marni Wahlquist, Head Brewer for Odell Brewing (https://www.odellbrewing.com) Sloan's Lake, and Sean Buchan, Owner and Head Brewer for Cerebral Brewing (https://cerebralbrewing.com)—represent a compelling cross-section of IPA from Denver and the rocky mountain region. All three brewers have GABF medals to their name, and Westbound & Down is fresh off GABF 2023 gold in West Coast IPA and Silver in NZ IPA. In this episode, the three cover the gamut of IPA, from hazy to clear, and discuss ingredients, techniques, and general approaches that define their IPA brewing programs. Over the course of the discussion, they touch on: the impact of hazy IPA on West Coast IPA selecting hop lots to span different IPA styles maximizing hop saturation with modern hop products designing malt support in contemporary IPA drying out West Coast IPA without sacrificing body avoiding the trap of sweet-on-sweet in hazy IPA choosing bittering hops for smoothness maximizing hop quality despite not being able to select hops the reversion to the mean of drinkability in hoppy styles And more. Brewing IPA might not be the most profitable thing for a brewery to do, but it speaks to why so many brewers and consumers are attracted to craft beer in general As Jake Gardner says, “Westbound & Down's history is not a good one to show how hop product can make you more money. They're just a way we light money on fire to have tons of fun. But that being said, there's a business strategy in that too. Our customer base is along for the ride.” This episode is brought to you by: G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): For years G&D Chillers has chilled the beers you love, partnering with 3,000+ breweries across the country along the way, and they're proud of the cool partnerships they've built over the past 30 years.

Twenty-nine ski areas with vertical drops over 1,000 feet. Fourteen soar beyond 2,000. Five cross the 3,000-foot mark. Four pass 4,000. And BC is home to the only two ski areas in North America that give you 5,000 or more vertical feet: Whistler and King Revelstoke. Thirteen BC bumps deliver 1,000-plus acres of terrain, and at least 20 load up on 200 inches or more of snow per season. Check these stats:British Columbia is like the Lamborghini dealership of skiing. Lots of power, lots of flash, lots of hot damn is that real? No duds. Nothing you'd be embarrassed to pick up a date in. A few community bumps, sure. But the BC Bros can stack their power towers – Big White, Fernie, Kicking Horse, Kimberley, Panorama, Red, Revelstoke, Silver Star, Sun Peaks, Whistler, and Whitewater – against any collection of ski areas anywhere on the planet and feel pretty good about winning that knife fight.And yet, even in this Seal Team Six of ski resorts, Sun Peaks looks heroic, epaulets and medals dangling from its dress blues. This is the second-largest ski area in Canada. Ponder that BC ski roster again to understand what that means: Sun Peaks gives you more acreage than anything on the famed Powder Highway, more than Revy or Red or Kicking Horse or Fernie. Turn north at Kamloops, east at Hefley Creek, and get lost at the end of the valley.But Sun Peaks' sheer size is less impressive than how the resort won those big-mountain stats. “British Columbia has probably the most progressive ski resort development policy in the world,” Alexander tells me in the podcast. When he arrived at the bump that was then called “Tod Mountain” in 1993, the place was three chairlifts and some surface movers serving a single peak:Over the next 30 years, Nippon Cable transformed the joint into a vast ski Narnia not only because they were willing to funnel vast capital into the hill, but because the BC government let them do it, under a set of rules known as the B.C. Commercial Alpine Ski policy. While inspiring, this is not an unusual ski area evolution tale for Western Canada. Compare the 10 largest BC ski areas today to the 10 largest in 1994:The acreage explosions at all but Whistler-Blackcomb (which at the time operated as independent ski areas), are astonishing. To underscore the point, check out the same years' comparison for the 10-largest U.S. ski areas:Certainly, the U.S. has seen some dramatic shuffling, especially as Vail and Alterra combined Canyons with Park City and Alpine Meadows with the ski area formerly known as Squaw Valley to form the megaresorts of Park City and Palisades Tahoe. That Big Sky didn't measure on the top 10 in 1994 – the tram didn't arrive until 1995 – is amazing. But the Western U.S., in 1994, was already home to legions of enormous ski resorts. That Heavenly, Mammoth, and Jackson Hole are the exact same size today as they were 29 years ago illustrates the difference between the two countries' attitudes toward ski resort expansion and development. Canada nurtures growth. The U.S. makes it as difficult as possible. Indeed, the reason Big Sky was able to ascend to monster status is that the resort sits entirely on private land, immunizing it from Forest Service bureaucracy and the endless public challenges that attend it.Sun Peaks is a case study in BC's development-friendly policies actualized. More important: the resort's evolution is a case study in smart, transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly development. Alexander explains in the podcast that the long-range goal has been to build not just walkable base villages, but a walkable community stretching from one end of the valley to the other. This is the point that's so often missed in the United States: not all growth and development is bad. The reckless, developer-driven, luxury-focused, disconnected sprawl that is U.S. America's default building mode is terrible and inhuman and ought to be curtailed. Deliberate, dense, interconnected, metered development based upon a community masterplan - which is what Sun Peaks is doing - should be encouraged.This sort of thoughtful growth does not dilute mountain communities. It creates them. Rather than trying to freeze development in time – a posture that only kicks sprawl ever farther out from the mountains and leads directly to the traffic addling so many Western U.S. ski towns – BC has enabled and empowered the sort of place-building that will create sustainable mountain communities over the long term. It's an inspiring model, and one that The Storm will examine intensely as I focus more deliberately on Canada.What we talked aboutRecord skier visits; bringing back that international vibe; touring Western Canada; Sun Peaks' first season on the Ikon Pass; the secret giant; how to dodge what few liftlines the resort has; the Mountain Collective as Ikon test run; Tod Mountain in the early 1990s; ski area masterplanning; Sunshine Village; growing Sun Peaks from backwater to the second-largest ski area in Canada; Nippon Cable, the Japanese lift manufacturer that owns Sun Peaks; why Sun Peaks doesn't use Nippon lifts; why Sun Peaks changed its name from “Tod Mountain” in 1993; an interesting tidbit about Whistler ownership; whether Sun Peaks ever considered joining the Epic Pass; Sun Peaks' masterplan; potential terrain expansions; upgrade potential for Sunburst and Sundance lifts; future lift additions; “the guy who serves the most ski terrain with the fewest lifts is the most efficient”; going deep on the coming West Bowl Express quad and the new terrain that will go along with it; why Sun Peaks retired the West Bowl T-bar before replacing it; better access to Gil's; why Sun Peaks is building the lift over three summers; the amazing Burfield lift, a fixed-grip quad that stretches nearly 3,000 vertical feet; potentially shortening that lift; why Burfield will likely never be a high-speed lift; prioritizing lift projects after West Bowl; converting – not replacing – Orient from a fixed-grip quad to a high-speed quad or six-pack; village-building; the potential major lift that's not on Sun Peaks' masterplan; and potentially connecting the resort to the Trans-Canada highway by paved road from the east.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewIn April, Sun Peaks announced construction of a new high-speed quad in West Bowl for the 2024-25 ski season. The lift will replace the West Bowl T-bar, visible on this circa 2019 trailmap, on a longer line that pushes the boundary away from the 7 Mile Road trail:The resort will lengthen the existing trails to meet the new lift's load point down the mountain, as Alexander explains in the podcast.This will be Sun Peaks' third new chairlift in three years, following new fixed-grip quads at Crystal and Orient in 2020 and 2018, respectively. Sun Peaks approaches chairlift construction in a unique manner, with a history of building lifts as fixed-grip machines and then upgrading them to high-speed lifts later on. Orient, for example, may evolve into a high-speed six-pack that lands several hundred more feet up the mountain. Slowly, deliberately, endlessly, Sun Peaks grows and evolves.While Alexander and his team continue to stack bricks into the resort's foundation, they simultaneously grow the mountain's profile. A few years back, the resort joined the Mountain Collective. Last October, it joined Ikon. And, kaboom: no more secret at the end of the road.That's a good thing. If these BC giants are to thrive, they're going to need help outside the province, which hosts a population of approximately 5 million in an area the size of California (39 million residents), Colorado (5.8 million), and Utah (3.4 million) combined. That means bringing skiers burned out on Summit County and Wasatch liftlines across the border, where big ski resorts continue to get bigger and the liftlines rarely form (outside of the West Coast).I don't want to overstate the scale of what's happening in BC – certainly big projects still can and do happen in America. And even as they grow fat by North American standards, most of the province's biggest ski areas still look like birdbaths compared to the ski circuses of Europe. But imagine if, over the next 30 years, 480-acre Ski Cooper transformed into 5,317-acre Vail Mountain. That is essentially what's happened at Sun Peaks since 1993, where a small community bump evolved into an international destination resort 10 times its original size. And they're nowhere near finished – Sun Peaks' masterplan (pg. 141), outlines a monster facility at full build-out:The Mountain Master Plan … will ultimately include a total of 26 ski lifts, including one pulse gondola, one 10G/8C Combi lift one detachable grip six-passenger chairlift, four detachable quadruple chairlifts, nine fixed grip quadruple chairlifts, four platter lifts and approximately two beginner moving carpet lifts, with a total combined rated capacity of about 41,186 passengers per hour … The overall Phase 4 [Skier Comfortable Carrying Capacity] will be approximately 14,830 skiers per day. … there will be 225 trails providing 177.5 kilometers of skiing on [1,895 acres] of terrain.Here's a conceptual map of Sun Peaks at full build-out:While plenty of BC ski areas have evolved over the past several decades, no one has accomplished the trick more steadily or with such deliberate, constant momentum as Sun Peaks. It was time to check in to see how they'd done it, and what was going to happen next.What I got wrongAs is my habit, I introduced Sun Peaks as defined by our U.S. American measurement system of feet and acres. Which is not that unusual – this is a U.S. American-based podcast. However, as a courtesy to my Canadian guests, listeners, and readers, I should have also offered the equivalent measurements in meters. Only I am a dumb U.S. American so I don't actually know how to do these conversions. Sorry about that.Why you should ski Sun PeaksThe Ikon Pass is an incredible thing. Purchase one in the spring and spend the following winter bouncing across the snowy horizons. Hit half a dozen of the continent's greatest resorts in Utah, big-mountain hop in Colorado, spend a week in Tahoe or skimming between peaks at Big Sky. Or go to Canada – 10 Ikon destinations sit in the northland, and seven of them crouch in a neat circle straddling BC and Alberta: Norquay, Lake Louise, Sunshine, Panorama, Red, Sun Peaks, and Revelstoke:You could complete that circle in around 17 hours of driving. Which is not much if you're rolling through a two-week roadie and spending two or three days at each resort. Some of them could occupy far more time. Sun Peaks can eat up a week pretty easily. But for the resort-hoppers among us, an Ikon or Mountain Collective pass includes days at Canada's second-largest ski area on its ready-to-eat buffet. Here's a look at every Canadian ski area that participates in a U.S.-based megapass:So the first reason to ski Sun Peaks is that you probably already have access to it. But there's something else – you can just go there and ski. As much as I love the ski resorts of Colorado and Utah, they are just too easy to access for too many people. That's great, but skiing in those powder holes requires a certain patience, an expectation of some kind of madness, a willingness to tweak the algorithm to see what combination of snowfall, open terrain, day of the week, and time of day yields the most open path between you and turns.That calculus is a little easier at Sun Peaks: just show up whenever you want and start skiing. Outside of Whistler, the big-mountain resorts of BC resemble the big-mountain resorts of the American West 40 years ago. Endless labyrinths of untamed terrain, no one to race off the ropeline. BC's collective ski resorts have evolved much faster than the market's realization that there is another set of Rocky Mountain resorts stacked on top of the Rocky Mountain resorts of U.S. America. That's a lot of terrain to roam. And all you need is a passport. Go get it.Podcast NotesOn building an alternate route into Sun Peaks from the eastMost visitors to Sun Peaks are going to spend some time traveling to the resort along the Trans-Canada Highway. Eastbound travelers will simply turn north at Kamloops and then right at Heffley Creek. Westbound travelers pass within five miles of the resort's southeast edge as they drive through Chase, but must continue toward Kamloops before turning toward Sun Peaks – nearly an hour and a half on clear roads. There is a mountain road, unpaved and impassable in wintertime (marked in yellow below), and long-simmering plans for an alternate, less death-defying paved path that could be open year-round (market in blue below). Alexander and I discussed this road, and he seemed optimistic that it will, eventually, get built. Given Sun Peaks' record of actualizing the improbable, I share his outlook. Here's a map of the whole mess:On Nippon Cable and WhistlerWhile Sun Peaks presents as an independent ski area, it is in fact part of a Japan-based conglomerate called Nippon Cable. This is primarily a lift manufacturer, but Nippon also owns a number of ski areas in Japan and 25 percent of Whistler (seriously). Read more about their properties here.On Big Bam ski areaAlexander mentions Big Bam ski area, which sits along the Pine River just west of the Alaska Highway and south of Fort St. John. Here's a homemade trailmap that someone codenamed “Skier72” posted on skimap.org, with the caption, “Approx. Trails at Big Bam. Made with Google Earth. Top lift is future quad chair, bottom lift is rope tow”:Big Bam is a volunteer-run, weekends-only organization with 180 feet of vert. You can follow them on Facebook (their last Instapost was in 2014). Alexander mentioned that the ski area had moved from its original location, though I couldn't find any information on the old hill. The place has had a rough go – it re-opened (I believe in the current location), in 2009, and was closed from 2016 to 2019 before turning the lifts on again. They seem desperate for a chairlift. If anyone knows more about the Big Bam story, please let me know.On Sun Peaks spare lift fleetAlexander notes that Sun Peaks “might have the least number of lifts for a resort of our size” on the continent. Indeed, the ski area has the third-fewest number of lifts among North America's 10 largest ski areas:On the Burfield chairliftStow this one for ski club trivia night: Sun Peaks is home to what is very likely the longest fixed-grip chairlift in the world. The Burfield quad rises 2,890 vertical feet on a 9,510-foot-long line. According to Lift Blog, ride time is 21 minutes, and the carriers are 115 feet apart. The lift's hourly capacity is just 470 riders – compare that to the Crystal fixed-grip quad right beside it, which can move up to 2,400 skiers per hour.The Storm Skiing Journal and Podcast explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Gunsmoke is an American radio and television Western drama series created by director Norman Macdonnell and writer John Meston. The stories take place in and around Dodge City, Kansas, during the settlement of the American West. The central character is lawman Marshal Matt Dillon, played by William Conrad on radio and James Arness on television. When aired in the United Kingdom, the television series was initially titled Gun Law, later reverting to Gunsmoke. The radio series ran from 1952 to 1961. John Dunning wrote that among radio drama enthusiasts, "Gunsmoke is routinely placed among the best shows of any kind and any time." The television series ran for 20 seasons from 1955 to 1975 and lasted for 635 episodes. At the end of its run in 1975, Los Angeles Times columnist Cecil Smith wrote: "Gunsmoke was the dramatization of the American epic legend of the west. Our own Iliad and Odyssey, created from standard elements of the dime novel and the pulp Western as romanticized by Buntline, Harte, and Twain. It was ever the stuff of legend." Radio series (1952–1961) In the late 1940s, CBS chairman William S. Paley, a fan of the Philip Marlowe radio series, asked his programming chief, Hubell Robinson, to develop a hard-boiled Western series, a show about a "Philip Marlowe of the Old West". Robinson instructed his West Coast CBS Vice President, Harry Ackerman, who had developed the Philip Marlowe series, to take on the task. Ackerman and his scriptwriters, Mort Fine and David Friedkin, created an audition script called "Mark Dillon Goes to Gouge Eye'' based on one of their Michael Shayne radio scripts, "The Case of the Crooked Wheel'' from the summer of 1948. Two versions were recorded.
A portion of Towne Lake Parkway westbound will be closed for a little over two hours February 11 for the annual Guns and Hoses 5K, the Cherokee Sheriff's Office announced. The run is taking place from 7:15 to about 9:30 a.m. February 11 at Hobgood Park near Woodstock. According to the sheriff's office, traffic on Towne Lake Parkway and Wyngate Parkway will be affected. Westbound traffic on Towne Lake Parkway from Rose Creek Drive to Bells Ferry Road will be diverted onto Rose Creek Drive. Eastbound traffic on Towne Lake Parkway will not be affected. Wyngate Parkway will be closed to both directions of travel from Watkins Glen Drive to Towne Lake Parkway. Drivers are asked to use caution if traveling in the area. Cherokee County leaders, parks officials, Cherokee Chamber members and county residents gathered at Cherokee Veterans Park Friday morning for the opening of the county's new recreation center. The L.B. “Buzz” Ahrens Recreation Center, nicknamed “The Buzz,” is the latest project from Cherokee Recreation and Parks Agency. The center, located at 7345 Cumming Highway in the Macedonia area of northeast Cherokee, is the second indoor recreation center for CRPA, in addition to its facility on Main Street near Woodstock. The center is over 30,000 square feet and has full-size and youth-size basketball courts and rock-climbing wall. The center also has an aerobics and dance studio, an open fitness area and two classrooms. There is additional office space for CRPA staff and a meeting hall area with an attached kitchen to allow for catered events. The namesake of the new $10.5 million recreation center, former Cherokee County Commission Chair Buzz Ahrens, was honored with a proclamation at the ribbon cutting ceremony. He spoke about the importance of the center. In continuing support of music education in Cherokee County, Cherokee Chorale has donated $500 to each of the seven middle schools in the school district. Choral teachers from each school received the big check on Jan. 31 by Chorale Founding Director Don Stafford, Conductor Scott Martin and President Richard Landolt. Funds from this donation would be used to support the programs by buying more and new music for students, paying for transportation to competitions and hosting special choral events by the school. Cherokee Chorale also offers the Judith MacMillan Scholarship, a $1,000 fund established in 2007 to go towards a Cherokee County student who pursues choral music performance or education at Reinhardt University. The Cherokee Chorale's next performance is at 4 p.m. on March 19 at the Falany Performing Arts Center in Waleska. Reinhardt's football team brought in a multitude of new faces during Wednesday's National Signing Day. Among the 54 signees — all from within Georgia's borders — were Jayden Ponder, a workhorse running back from Allatoona High School in Acworth, and a heavy focus on defensive backs. Reinhardt coach James Miller brought in 12 defensive backs, looking to continue the program's reputation of strong defenses. With key defensive players Kenneth Lowery, Jon Perry and others leaving, the Eagles also added eight linebackers and four defensive linemen. Among those defensive backs was Etowah's Jamir Maxime, who recorded 35 tackles, 14 pass breakups and two interceptions during the 2022 season. On the offensive side, the Eagles signed nine offensive linemen, eight receivers, seven running backs, two tight ends and two quarterbacks. They also brought in three recruits simply listed as “athletes”, which means they have the potential to play a variety of positions. A Canton businessman and lifelong city resident has announced his intention to run for the vacant ward 2 seat on the Canton City Council. Bryan Roach, 46, announced his plans Friday to run for the seat left by former councilmember Will Carlan in the November 7 city election. Roach said in his announcement that he will listen to the concerns of the constituents in his ward and the city as a whole, as well as provide fiscally responsible leadership. Roach said that, if elected, he would continue to expand and develop the downtown district and improve relationships with other local leaders and stakeholders. Roach is a community volunteer and serves on the Hospital Authority of Cherokee County for Northside Hospital Cherokee. He also served as the vice chairman of the Cherokee County Parks and Recreation Board of Advisors from 2011 to 2014, as well as volunteering as a youth baseball and football coach for many years. Arnold Mill Elementary School's garden has been revitalized by the work of the school's Garden Club and Boy Scout Pack 625, thanks to a grant given by the Cherokee County Educational Foundation. On January 28, the two groups came together to rebuild the vegetable garden located next to the gym, the Arnold Mill Elementary Garden Club announced. The spring harvest of this garden will be donated to food pantries in Cherokee County. Cherokee County educator Denise Forward and Boy Scout leaders Troy Kind and David Stern oversaw the project. The school also received donations from Super Slab Store, LLC for the lumber and Discount Express Tree Service for the mulch. Cloud Supply in Canton provided the soil. #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews - - - - - - The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County.
