STORY 1: Woodstock Man Charged With Shooting Firework at Helicopter

A Woodstock man, David Rance Jeter, has been charged with shooting a firework at a helicopter, as well as yelling obscenities during an Indian wedding. He was arrested and charged with one count of terroristic threats and acts after firing a firework at a helicopter occupied by two passengers on October 20. In a separate incident on August 21, he was charged with one count of disorderly conduct for shouting obscenities during an Indian wedding, using a megaphone to make "insulting noises" in protest of the event. He blocked a lane of Cox Road and continued to yell obscenities until warned by officers to leave. Jeter is currently in custody with no bond.

STORY 2: Canton's Salty Dog Featured in New History Cherokee Book

Canton's iconic mascot, Salty Dog, is the star of a new book, "Salty Dog Goes to Denim Day," by Jennifer Dunn, with illustrations by Elly Hobgood. The book pays tribute to Salty Dog, historic downtown Canton, and the Canton Cotton Mills, taking readers on a journey through 1960s downtown Canton and the Canton Cotton Mills. In the story, Salty Dog embarks on a mission to deliver his mama's forgotten lunch at the mill. The book serves as a way for people who worked at the Canton Cotton Mills to share their experiences with their grandchildren. It will be available for purchase at the Cherokee County History Center and the Cotton Mill Exchange starting on November 26, with preorders available on the History Cherokee website. Salty Dog was originally created as the mascot for the Canton Cotton Mills' SCRUBDENIM brand, known for its softening process, and the advancements made at the mill continue to influence denim production today.

Cherokee County Leaders and Residents Discuss Affordable Housing

Cherokee County held the Cherokee Regional Housing Forum to address the need for more affordable housing. Community stakeholders discussed housing needs and solutions in the county.

The forum discussed a new workforce housing project, Franklin Crossing, featuring 57 affordable units under construction. These units will serve residents making 40%, 60%, or 80% of the area median income. Monthly rent will be much lower than similar housing products in the area. The development received housing tax credits and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2024. Canton is also involved in addressing affordable and attainable housing in the city through the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing program, among other initiatives. The county is planning to hold housing forums quarterly to continue addressing the housing needs of the community.

STORY 5: Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office Gives Glimpse into Matthew Perry's Cause of Death

Matthew Perry, the beloved actor best known for his role as Chandler Bing on the TV show "Friends," died of an apparent drowning at his Pacific Palisades home. A 911 call was made at 4:07 p.m. local time, treated as a water rescue. An autopsy has been completed, but the cause of death is "deferred" pending toxicology reports, and "other significant conditions" contributed to his death. Perry had reportedly engaged in physical activity, including playing pickleball on the morning of his death. His struggles with addiction were well-documented, but as of his last reported sobriety, the cause of death remains uncertain. Toxicology results are expected in the coming weeks. Authorities do not suspect foul play. Matthew Perry, who was 54 years old when he died on October 28, 2023, had a net worth estimated at $120 million at the time of his death. He faced numerous health issues due to his struggles with addiction, including pneumonia, an exploded colon, a coma, and multiple surgeries.

This Section of the Highway 20 Widening Project Is Expected to be Completed by End of Year

The Georgia Department of Transportation is nearing completion of the first segment of the Highway 20 widening project, encompassing Interstate 575 in Canton and Scott Road. Initially slated for completion in May, delays pushed it to late summer and, more recently, the end of the year due to construction and plan revisions. This section expands Highway 20 to six lanes with a concrete median, sidewalks, and turn lanes at major driveways and intersections. The subsequent segment, Scott Road to Union Hill Road, includes similar enhancements and is expected to be completed late next year. Further segments from Union Hill Road to Post Road are set for bidding in late 2024. The project will also extend into Forsyth County, and a separate widening project along Highway 20 will begin from the interchange with Interstate 75 in Bartow County to Interstate 575 in Cherokee County in the spring.

STORY 1: Alpharetta Woman Charged After Fatal Crash

Hailey Williamson, a 20-year-old woman from Alpharetta, has been arrested in connection with a crash that resulted in the death of a motorcycle rider. She is charged with second-degree vehicular homicide and failure to yield right of way. The charges are misdemeanors. According to an arrest warrant filed by the Holly Springs Police Department, the crash occurred when Williamson illegally turned left from Sixes Road eastbound, failing to yield to traffic, and collided with a motorcycle. The motorcycle rider, Lester Berry, aged 63, from Holly Springs, sustained fatal injuries in the collision. Williamson was arrested and booked into the Cherokee County jail, but she was released on a $2,211 bond the following day.

STORY 2: U.S. Senate Panel Hears Tragic Stories From Georgia’s Foster Care System

A U.S. Senate subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia, is conducting a bipartisan investigation into the treatment of foster children in the United States, including a review of audits by the Georgia Division of Family & Children Services (DFCS). The investigation revealed that DFCS failed to address risks and safety concerns in 84% of cases brought to its attention. The subcommittee heard testimony from a mother, Rachel Aldridge, whose two-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, died in foster care. Another witness, Mon’a Houston, shared her five-year experience in foster care, detailing overmedication, restraints, and isolation. Expert witnesses emphasized that these failures are systemic and not due to individual caseworkers. Sen. Ossoff stressed the need for long-overdue reforms to protect vulnerable children.

STORY 3: Northside Hospital Cherokee's Katie Pearson Named Outstanding Woman in Healthcare

Katie Pearson, the Director of Operations at Northside Hospital Cherokee, was honored with the Outstanding Woman in Healthcare Award for 2023 by the Georgia Alliance of Community Hospitals.

She has also been active in various community positions, emphasizing her commitment to improving the quality of life for residents in Cherokee County and surrounding communities. The award was presented at GACH's 40th Annual Conference on October 12, 2023.

STORY 4: Georgia, 32 Other States Going After Meta in Federal Court

Georgia has joined a coalition of 33 states in filing a federal lawsuit against Meta (formerly Facebook), accusing the social media company of knowingly designing and deploying features that addict children and teens. The lawsuit alleges that Meta's practices violate state consumer protection laws and the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and have contributed to a youth mental health crisis. Based on testimony from former Meta employees, the complaint claims the platforms' algorithms push users into harmful behavior. The lawsuit seeks injunctive and monetary relief to address the harms caused by the platforms. Meta expressed disappointment in the states for taking them to court and noted their commitment to providing safe online experiences for teens.

STORY 5: Cherokee County Elections Office Honors Poll Workers

Cherokee County in Georgia recognized the invaluable service of poll workers in a poll worker appreciation event on October 12th. Anne Dover, the Director of Cherokee County Elections and Voter Registration, emphasized the crucial role of poll workers as the backbone of the election system. Poll workers play a pivotal role in facilitating the voting process, ensuring elections are conducted according to laws, and offering citizens the opportunity to exercise their voting rights. The county is expected to employ between 500 to 600 poll workers for the 2024 election cycle, making it an essential part of the democratic process. Those interested in becoming a poll worker can contact Grace Waddell, the training and education manager at Cherokee County Elections and Registration.
