Police: Man Leads Cops on Chase, Ending in Crash in Downtown Woodstock

A high-speed police chase in Cobb County came to a dramatic end with a crash in downtown Woodstock. According to Assistant Chief Mark Hand of the Woodstock Police, the pursuit involved a vehicle that entered Woodstock city limits, leading to a collaborative effort to bring it to a halt. The chase ended when the suspect vehicle collided head-on with another vehicle, whose driver, thankfully, sustained non-life-threatening injuries. A Woodstock officer then used their patrol vehicle to box in the suspect vehicle, taking the suspect into custody. The incident caused Main Street to be shut down between Dupree Road and Serenade Lane while police worked in the area. The investigation is still ongoing, and further details are yet to be released.

STORY 1: Braves Add Three in Swap With Mariners

The Atlanta Braves have acquired left-hander Marco Gonzales, outfielder Jarred Kelenic, infielder Evan White, and cash considerations from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for pitchers Jackson Kowar and Cole Phillips. Gonzales, 31, had a 4-1 record with a 5.22 ERA in 10 starts in 2023. Kelenic, 24, finished the season with a .253 batting average, 11 home runs, and 49 RBI.

Phillips, 20, was Atlanta's second-round draft pick in 2022.

STORY 2: Mill Creek Middle School Student Wins Regional Essay Contest

Mill Creek Middle School seventh-grader Saanvi Lamba has been named the Cherokee County winner of the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District's annual essay contest. Open to all middle schoolers in metro Atlanta, the contest required students to write about the river basin in their area, its importance to the community, and the significance of learning about river basins for water stewardship. Lamba focused on the Etowah River Watershed, emphasizing its historical importance and the need to protect it as a primary drinking water source and habitat for native species. She will be honored at an awards ceremony at the State Capitol.

STORY 3: Cherokee County Man Sentenced to 25 Years Prison After Cops Find Over 17 Pounds of Meth

James Aaron Aldred IV, a 36-year-old Canton resident, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for manufacturing, trafficking, and selling methamphetamine as part of a multi-state drug operation. Aldred pleaded guilty to the charges in a negotiated plea. He was sentenced to 45 years, with the first 25 years to be served in prison and the remaining on probation. The prosecution resulted from an investigation by the Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad, which discovered over 17 pounds of meth at Aldred's home. Authorities found that Aldred worked at the direction of a drug cartel, purchasing and selling large quantities of narcotics.

STORY 4: Liberty, Woodstock's Noah Frith to Face Oregon in Fiesta Bowl

The Oregon Ducks (11-2) will face the Liberty Flames (13-0) in the Fiesta Bowl at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on January 1. Oregon, ranked No. 8, is coming off a loss in the Pac-12 Championship game, while No. 23 Liberty, the Conference USA champion, finished the season undefeated. This will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams. Oregon coach Dan Lanning expressed excitement about the opportunity to play against a formidable opponent, and Liberty coach Jamey Chadwell emphasized the significance of the Fiesta Bowl for his team, which had an undefeated season.

STORY 5: New Congressional Map Proposes Major Changes in Atlanta's Northern Suburbs

Georgia's Senate Republicans have unveiled a new congressional map, responding to a federal judge's order to create an additional Black-majority district. The proposed map significantly alters the 6th Congressional District, currently represented by Republican Rep. Rich McCormick. The redrawn 6th District aims to have a Black-majority voting-age population, including portions of Cobb and Fulton counties with growing Black populations. The proposal also makes substantial changes to Georgia's 7th Congressional District, represented by Democrat Lucy McBath, removing it entirely from Gwinnett County. The new map will be considered by the General Assembly to address concerns raised about the Voting Rights Act.

Woodstock Leaders Approve EV Charging Stations Regulations

 The Woodstock City Council has given initial approval to an ordinance regulating electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in response to a local and regional increase in EV ownership. The ordinance permits EV charging stations as accessory uses in all zoning designations, requiring electrical permits for new private or publicly accessible stations. Design standards, including screen size limitations and equipment requirements, are outlined. The ordinance initially proposed mandatory EV charging station installations, but the council opted for a market-driven approach, encouraging extra parking for developers with installed charging stations. The city currently has nine public charging locations, with plans for 12 more in the Woodstock City Center parking deck. The final ordinance vote is scheduled for December 11.

STORY 4: Calhoun National Guard Unit Activated for Deployment

Soldiers from the Calhoun-based 1st Squadron, 108th Cavalry Regiment, part of the Georgia Army National Guard, are gearing up for an overseas deployment to Kosovo. Around 200 soldiers from the 108th have been activated from the unit's armories in Calhoun, Dalton, Cedartown, and Canton. The soldiers will undergo pre-deployment training at Fort Stewart, Texas, and Germany before arriving in Kosovo as part of the NATO Kosovo Force (KFOR) for a peacekeeping mission. The deployment is expected to last around eight months. A sendoff ceremony will be held on January 2, 2024, at the Calhoun campus of Georgia Northwestern Technical College.

STORY 5: Apartment Complex Under Construction in Canton

Madison Communities has begun construction on Madison Canton, a 252-unit apartment complex located near downtown Canton, Georgia. Situated at the intersection of Marietta Road and Jackie Moore Lane, the complex will feature a variety of amenities, including a clubhouse, fitness center, cyber lounge, and workspaces. Outdoor amenities include a pool and deck with grilling stations, a dog park, a dog wash, and pickleball courts.

STORY 6: Republican-Drawn Legislative Maps Come Under Fire

The Georgia General Assembly's special redistricting session commenced with Democrats and watchdog groups criticizing Republican-backed proposed maps for the state House and Senate, claiming they are unfair to Black voters. Both maps aim to comply with a federal court ruling that declared previous maps violated the Voting Rights Act. Democrats argue that the proposed maps make unnecessary changes beyond the court order, while they have released an alternative map focusing on the specific districts identified in the court ruling. Critics also highlight extensive redrawing and incumbent pairings in the Republican-backed maps for partisan reasons.

STORY 7: State Senate study committee recommends repealing CON law

A committee in Georgia, comprising lawmakers, healthcare executives, and an insurance industry representative, has recommended repealing the state law governing hospital construction and medical services. The Senate Study Committee on Certificate of Need (CON) Reform believes that the decades-old CON law is hindering advances in healthcare delivery, especially in rural Georgia. The CON law, enacted in 1979 to reduce healthcare costs by avoiding duplication, requires applicants to demonstrate the need for a new medical facility or service in a community. The committee's recommendation for repeal or reform will now be considered by the full Senate during the 2024 legislative session.

We’ll have closing comments after this.

STORY 4: Redistricting Special Session Likely to Boost Democrats

Georgia Democrats anticipate improved prospects in upcoming elections following a federal judge's order for the state legislature to redraw legislative and congressional lines. 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.
