  • Cherokee Chamber names "Volunteer of the Quarter"

    The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce recently announced that Lori Flink, with Allegro Business Products, has been named the Chairman's Council "Volunteer of the Quarter" for first quarter 2023.

    Flink was honored during the chamber's March Good Morning Cherokee breakfast networking event.

    Members of the Chairman’s Council are accepted by invitation only from the Chamber's Board Chair. The Chairman’s Council members are invited to attend ribbon cuttings, ground breakings and coffee and connections for new members, and special invitation chamber meetings that aren’t open to the general membership.

    In determining the "Volunteer of the Quarter," attendance at chamber events is evaluated for all members of the Chairman's Council.

    "There was no doubt when naming this quarter's honoree as Lori has attended many chamber events since the first of the year," said Trey Ragsdale, external affairs, Kaiser Permanente and 2023 chamber board chair.

    Cherokee made it two county teams in the final four with its 70-66 win at Carrollton on Wednesday night. The Warriors went into a hostile environment and took care of business nearly two hours south of their home court.

    Trailing by two points with two minutes to go, Braylin Giddens tied the game with a layup through traffic. Tayden Owens connected on a 3-pointer with one minute to go, giving Cherokee the lead, and Cameron Pope drained two clutch free-throws with 20 seconds left to seal the win. Dastin Hart finished as Cherokee’s leading scorer with 22 points and hauled in 12 rebounds for a double-double. Pope had 15 points, Giddens scored 11 points and Owens finished with 10 points. Lawrence Sanford added eight points off the bench.

    Hart was key in his second game back from an injury suffered in the region championship game. He played well in the 73-58 win over Berkmar, but he returned to his typical dominant self on Wednesday night. Cherokee will take on Norcross on Saturday at Georgia State University, the team that knocked it out of the playoffs last season.

    Ahead of Easter, Cherokee Recreation and Parks is asking for donations of pre-filled Easter baskets for local children in need.

    “As part of our ‘Some Bunny Special’ program, we reach out to the community each year to ask for assistance in helping the Easter Bunny gift baskets to these local kids in need,” said Cherokee Recreation and Parks Marketing and Community Outreach Coordinator Jessica Hallman.

    Requested items for the baskets include Easter-themed candy, coloring books, crayons, colored pencils, socks, puzzles, stuffed animals, toy Easter eggs and Easter-themed books for children ages 1 through 12. Donations of handmade or purchased baskets are welcome, and pre-filled baskets may be wrapped in clear plastic.

    Cherokee Recreation and Parks will accept the baskets starting Wednesday through April 7. Baskets can be dropped off at the Cherokee Recreation and Parks South Annex location at 7545 Main St., building 200 in Woodstock, the Cherokee County Aquatic Center, 1200 Wellstar Way near Holly Springs and the L.B. “Buzz” Ahrens Recreation Center, 7345 Cumming Highway near Canton.

    Baskets can be dropped off between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. All candy must be sealed in its original packaging and baskets are to be pre-filled before drop-off.

    A brewery with office, retail and restaurant space could be on the way to Highway 20 near Old Mill Road in east Cherokee County. 

    About three miles east of there, a business is seeking to open a special event venue.

    Both proposed developments will require approval by Cherokee County officials. The county's planning commission is scheduled to hold public hearings on zoning applications for the two projects Tuesday.

    Freedom 20 Brewery, LLC is applying to rezone of a little over five acres at 11058 Cumming Highway, near Domino's Pizza, from estate residential to general commercial. The business is also requesting a special use permit for a brewery with office, retail and restaurant space within the area. The property currently has an older, 1,200 square foot barn, according to county documents.

    In a separate application, Countryside Ventures, LLC is seeking to rezone 16.76 acres from agriculture single family residential to general commercial at 14045 Cumming Highway, near Hopewell Road. The applicant is also requesting a special use permit to build a 6,400 square feet of special event facility.

    If approved by the county, the 117-seat facility would be called Countryside Ventures.

    After Tuesday's public hearing, the Cherokee County Planning Commission is expected to make a recommendation on each application to elected officials. The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners will make the final decision.

    Students at Carmel Elementary School recently completed a "kindness calendar" for the month of February, showing an act of kindness each day, the school announced.

    The school challenged children to show an act of kindness either at school, at home or in their community each day - 28 days of kindness. Gwen Hays and Aly Edgar, both students in Joanne Emanuel’s second grade class, decided to take treats to their local fire station. Gwen make cupcakes from scratch, and Aly shared Rice Krispies treats and other snacks.

    The Service League of Cherokee County is inviting local organizations to apply for Community Impact Grants.

    Grants will be awarded to ideas and projects to have a positive impact on children in Cherokee County. The Service League is awarding a total of $30,000 in grants.

    The library system is also holding a reading challenge on Beanstack where participants can earn badges for reading books related to convention themes. The reading challenge ends March 31.

    The deadline to enter is March 17. To apply, visit www.serviceleague.net.

    Winners will be notified by March 28.

  • News Minute: Etowah boys are Final Four bound

     Etowah made school history on Wednesday, beating St. Pius X 54-53 in the final seconds and advancing to the Class AAAAAA Final Four.

    The quarterfinals game was tied 53-53 with 10 seconds left after Aiden Portee connected on a mid-range jumper for the Golden Lions, but Brandon Rechsteiner took matters into his own hands, driving coast-to-coast and drawing a foul with 2.9 seconds remaining.

    Rechsteiner split the pair of free throws, and after forcing a St. Pius X turnover, Etowah inbounded the ball and ran out the clock.

  • Area basketball teams continue their run into the Elite 8

    After a tight first quarter between River Ridge and Blessed Trinity, the Knights made a change to their defensive approach and took off from there in Friday night’s 65-47 second-round Class AAAAAA playoff win.

    The score was knotted at 11-11 through the first eight minutes, with River Ridge coming out in a press. The Titans were able to break it, though, and with their potent guard play, quickly move down the court and score.

    River Ridge changed its approach in the second quarter and outscored Blessed Trinity 16-2 going into halftime.

    River Ridge will face off against Marist in the Elite 8 after the War Eagles jumped on Tift County 61-37. Marist beat Blessed Trinity 49-34 earlier this season.

    In other girls’ playoff action, Sequoyah pulled off the rare feat of sweeping a non-region foe in three games when they beat North Forsyth on Friday. Sequoyah jumped out to a 10-0 lead after bringing defensive pressure, forcing turnovers and scoring in those transition opportunities. The Chiefs took care of the ball on their end and knocked down shots. Sayler Davies hit a pair of 3-pointers in the first half, and Addison Ghorley connected on another. With the raucous Raiders’ crowd, Sequoyah had to nullify its impact. After falling to Woodstock in the Region 6AAAAAA championship, Sequoyah has now won three straight games, with the last two coming by double digits.

    The Chiefs will meet Brunswick in the quarterfinals on Tuesday night. The Pirates defeated Woodward Academy in Round 2.

    With a hobbled Dastin Hart and a substantial size disadvantage, Cherokee’s defense rose to the challenge in Saturday’s 73-58 home playoff win over Berkmar, sending the Warriors to the Class AAAAAA Elite 8.

    Cherokee’s shooters caught fire early, with Tayden Owens connecting on two straight 3-pointers to start the night. Berkmar went to Mekhi Ragland early in the paint, but the Warriors defended him well throughout the night and denied easy entry passes.

    Owens was the game’s leading scorer with 26 points, followed closely by his backcourt running mate Cameron Pope, who finished at 22 points. Lawrence Sanford pitched in 15 points off the bench.

    Cherokee moves on to face Carrollton in Round 2, which defeated Parkview 58-56 on Saturday.

    Top of Form

    In other boys’ basketball action, Etowah coach Jason Dasinger said the first half of Saturday night’s high school basketball playoff game was on him.

    He let the players take over the second half, and that propelled to a 59-42 victory over Pope in the second round of the Class AAAAAA tournament. Aiden Weaver led a trio of Eagles players in double-digits with 16 points. Mason Etter and Brandon Rechsteiner added 15 points apiece.

    Sixth-ranked Etowah (21-8) moves on to the quarterfinals and will play at No. 2 St. Pius X on Wednesday in Chamblee.

    St. Pius X beat Lakeside-Evans 62-57 on Saturday.

    The Magistrate Court of Cherokee County has received a Judicial Excellence Award for Clearance Rate Excellence.

    The magistrate court received the award Jan. 25 for the 2021 calendar year, the court announced. This marks the fourth year the Cherokee County Magistrate Court has earned the award.

    The award is presented annually by the Administrative Office of the Courts’ Standing Committee on Judicial Workload Assessment to the top 10% of counties in terms of clearance rate (16 counties out of 159). A clearance rate of 100% or greater demonstrates that the court is keeping up with its caseload.

    Deputy Clerk Elaine Ellis added that “it is truly amazing to see what can be accomplished when a team works together to achieve a common goal.”

    A former Woodstock High School teacher will serve three years in prison after he pleaded guilty to touching and groping six underage high school students, the Cherokee County District Attorney’s Office announced.

    Ryan Parker McKendrick, 40, entered a negotiated guilty plea to nine counts of sexual assault of a student Feb. 9.

    Senior Judge C.J. Gober Jr. sentenced McKendrick to 20 years, with the first three years to serve in prison and the rest on probation. Upon probation, he will be under sex offender special conditions, and is forbidden to have contact with the victims or minors under the age of 18. In September 2018, administrators at the school became aware of a text conversation involving McKendrick and two female students that led to an investigation.

    McKendrick had been the school’s chorus teacher since 2007.

    Investigators with Cherokee County School Police and Cherokee Sheriff’s Office determined that many students had experienced similar behavior from McKendrick, prosecutors said.

    Eight of the victims delivered impact statements at the plea hearing, describing the abuse as traumatizing and a betrayal of trust, according to the district attorney’s office. They said they continue to feel self-doubt and insecurity, and they struggle to trust anyone, especially those in positions of authority. Victims said they were relieved that the defendant admitted to the charges by pleading guilty.

    Holly Springs residents will soon see new playground equipment, as well as a dog park when visiting Barrett Park later this year.

    The Holly Springs City Council unanimously approved a $16,323 professional design service fee for improvements to Barrett Park Thursday to BM&K Inc. Another design service fee for $12,123 to the same company was approved for maintenance to the Barrett Springs detention pond.

    Improvements to the park include replacing the current playground equipment with new equipment, as well as replacing the basketball goal and improving the court. The city also plans to add an off-leash dog park, closed in with a chain length fence and connected to water to accommodate canine watering stations. The off-leash dog park will be inside the park on the west side of the gazebo, Holly Springs City Manager Rob Logan said Friday. The project also includes installing drains at the playground and refreshing the site with play-safe mulch, constructing a closed stormwater system from the east boundary of the park to the creek, and resurfacing and striping the parking lot along with the entrance road.

    BM&K will provide demo plans, a grading plan, drainage design, utility sheet and erosion control, according to city documents.

    Sequoyah-Con, a three-part miniature convention series hosted by the Sequoyah Regional Library system, will be held at area libraries on March 4, 11 and 18.

    Two of the three events will be at Cherokee County locations: the R.T. Jones Memorial Library in Canton and the Woodstock Public Library in Woodstock. The conventions are free to participate in and are open to all ages.

    March 4, the R.T. Jones Memorial Library in Canton is hosting a Pokémon program schedule starting at 10 a.m. that includes Pokémon-themed crafts, scavenger hunts, cross-stitch, paper circuits, terrariums, and more. There will also be two trivia games, one for adults and one for children. The program will end with a Pokémon costume contest from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.

    On March 11, the next event in the series is a gaming-themed program at the Gilmer County Library in Ellijay. Visitors of all ages are invited to play different games throughout the day, and there will be kid-specific games in the youth activity room. There will be a craft market, Breath of the Wild scavenger hunt, a fan art display and more. The last event, hosted by the Woodstock Public Library, is a cryptids program. The itinerary includes activities begin at 10:30 a.m. and include age-group crafting hours, X-Files trivia, a Pet Semetary stuffed animal craft, ectoplasm slime making and more.

    Special guests at the Woodstock library include author Delilah Dawson, storyteller Tracy Walker and a representative from Georgia Paranormal Investigations. Walker will be hosting a Bigfoot story time from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. March 18, open to all ages. Dawson, a published Georgia fantasy and science fiction writer, will be hosting a Q&A panel from 2-3 p.m. Georgia Paranormal Investigations will give a presentation about paranormal activity and ghost hunting from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

    The library system is also holding a reading challenge on Beanstack where participants can earn badges for reading books related to convention themes. The reading challenge ends March 31.

  • Woman arrested for writing false prescriptions in Cherokee County

    A woman has been convicted of illegally issuing prescriptions for controlled substances over several months in Cherokee County, and now four others have been indicted on charges connected to the operation.

    Leslie Archambault, 47, from Woodstock, was sentenced in January to three years of prison followed by 12 years of probation, after pleading guilty to violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, according to court documents. Archambault elected to resolve her case before the case was indicted, so prosecutors proceeded with an accusation, said Cyndi Crossland, spokesperson for the district attorney's office.  

    According to prosecutors, Archambault, who was employed by a doctor, repeatedly used a doctor's prescription pad to issue fraudulent prescriptions in the name and on the behalf of herself and others who had never been the doctor's patients. False prescriptions were issued, between Jan. 2 and Oct. 6, 2022, for medications including Adderall, hydrocodone, Xanax, phentermine, and tramadol. An indictment, filed Feb. 14, alleges that the group of associates includes, but is not limited to, Archambault, Jessica Weaver, Cathy Hudson and Jeffrey and Gina Moson. Weaver, Hudson and Jeffrey and Gina Moson are charged with one count of violating the RICO Act.

    In the indictment, prosecutors say the four defendants allegedly conspired with Archambault to illegally obtain prescription medication. According to the indictment, activities to support the prescription drug fraud included theft, forgery, identity fraud and violations of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act.

    A Canton man is behind bars after police say he shot into a car and injured two teenagers.

    Canton police responded to the area of Hickory Knoll Drive and Oakside Drive at about 12:59 p.m. Wednesday in response to a firearm discharge call, the department reported in a press release. There, they found two injured teens inside a car.

    After further investigation police identified the shooter as Jacob Garcia, 18, from Canton, authorities said. Garcia was arrested at his home at 7:10 p.m. without incident.

    According to his arrest warrant, Garcia is charged with shooting multiple times into a car with the two teens inside. A 17-year-old was shot in the pelvic area, causing damage to the bone, Canton Police Department said in the warrant. A 15-year-old was hit by shrapnel in his arm and had lacerations. Both were treated at a local hospital, and the teen who was shot was in stable condition Thursday, police said.

    Garcia is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

    Thursday, Garcia remained in custody at the Cherokee County jail without bond, according to the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office.

    The Cherokee County School District recently won awards from a state public relations association for communications and community engagement.

    CCSD earned five “Best in State” trophies and 14 Gold Awards at the Georgia School Public Relations Association’s annual awards program last month, the district announced. The district earned Gold Awards across the board in categories including annual report, crisis communications, excellence in writing, handbook, newsletter, photography, social media, special event, special publication and videography electronic media. CCSD won the “Best in State” award in crisis communications for strategies to correct misinformation including its Fact vs. Fiction website, excellence in writing for its Teacher of the Year winner profiles, newsletter for its monthly District Delegate magazine-style newsletter for employees (a second consecutive win), special events for its annual Support Staff Employees of the Year recognition program and special publication for its annual Class Act magazine. While the awards reflect work primarily by CCSD's Office of Communications, other divisions also were honored with awards. The Office of Technology and Information Services earned its third consecutive Gold Award for its monthly newsletter for CCSD employees, and the Office of Financial Management earned a Silver Award for its annual budget report.

    With 30 seconds left on the clock, David Hansraj sank one of the most clutch shots of his career. He drilled a 3-pointer to tie the game at 50-50, but with 20 seconds still on the clock, it wasn’t even the biggest shot of the night.

    River Ridge’s defense got a stop and a rebound, and as time ticked down, Jay McCord got to the 3-point line, pulled up and connected. McCord’s shot gave the Knights a last-second 53-50 win.

    Hansraj finished as the Knights’ leading scorer in the first-round win, picking up 17 points. McCord had 13 points, Greyson Hopf had eight points and Jackson Head tallied seven.

    Head’s presence was critical in keeping the Panthers’ big men contained, though he fouled out with four minutes remaining in the game. Coach Aaron Darling praised his team for sustaining the lead and keeping the defensive pressure up without one of their best players down the stretch. The buzzer-beating win was a massive energy and confidence boost for River Ridge after it fell in the Region 6AAAAAA championship game to Etowah. The Knights travel to Blessed Trinity for Round 2 on Saturday.

    Day campers at the new LB "The Buzz" Ahrens Recreation Center have enjoyed the rock wall, basketball court and other activities during Cherokee Recreation and Parks' Non-Stop Action Break Camp. During this Winter Break camp, campers went on three field trips during the week and all lunches were provided. If your kids missed out on all the fun this time, no worries! There will be a Spring Into Action Break Camp April 3-7 at the WREC. For more information, head over to Play Cherokee dot Com.

    Cherokee started fast in Wednesday's 59-45 first-round home playoff win over West Forsyth. The Warriors scored 24 points in the opening quarter and overcame the absence of their top interior presence Dastin Hart. Nate Speaks got the start in place of Hart and provided valuable minutes as a disruptor inside. Cherokee also turned to a smaller lineup with Hayden Darko seeing the floor, who hit some key shots in the second quarter. Coach Veihman credited Speaks’ defense for sparking Cherokee in the second half after it came out of the locker room slow on offense. Speaks forcefully blocked a shot on West Forsyth’s first possession of the game and sent two more shots away in the second half.

    Cameron Pope’s scoring was huge for the Warriors. He jump-started their offense with 10 first-quarter points, including a pair of 3-pointers. Pope finished with a game-high 20 points and connected on four 3-pointers.

    Behind Pope, Tayden Owens scored nine points, with Braylin Giddens, Lawrence Sanford and Darko all with eight points. The Warriors will host Berkmar on Saturday after the Patriots upset Buford 58-53 on Wednesday night.
