STORY 1:   Georgia PSC Hopeful Daniel Blackman Tossed from Primary Ballot 

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger disqualified PSC candidate Daniel Blackman from the Democratic Primary ballot, citing his failure to meet the one-year residency requirement for District 3. The challenge was brought by a District 3 voter. Although Blackman’s name remains on the ballot due to early voting, polling places will notify voters of his disqualification. Blackman was one of four Democrats aiming to challenge Republican incumbent Fitz Johnson. This comes amid ongoing legal disputes over PSC election methods, with claims of diluted Black voting strength under the current statewide election system. 

STORY 2:  Hot Dog Lunch Support Cherokee County Seniors 

Cherokee County Senior Services and Stand Up For Seniors are hosting a hot dog luncheon on June 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Cherokee County Senior Center in Canton. For a $5 donation, attendees can enjoy a meal with proceeds supporting the Last Stop Program, which provides emergency financial aid to low-income seniors. The event offers dine-in, takeout, and advance reservations. Organizers aim to help seniors with essentials like housing, utilities, and medical costs. The luncheon is a community effort to support vulnerable seniors and senior veterans in Cherokee County. 

STORY 3:   Georgia Supreme Court Upholds Gun Carry Restrictions for Those Under 21 

The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously upheld the state’s law prohibiting individuals under 21 from carrying handguns in most public places. The decision rejected 20-year-old Thomas Stephens’ challenge, citing the state constitution’s “manner clause,” which allows the legislature to regulate how weapons are carried. Stephens argued for stricter federal standards on personal liberties, but the court declined to apply them, emphasizing state-specific interpretation. Justice Andrew A. Pinson noted that Stephens failed to meet the heavy burden of proving the law unconstitutional, reaffirming prior rulings supporting restrictions on where guns can be carried.

STORY 4:      Woodstock Woman Killed in Car-Ambulance Crash 

A Woodstock woman, Jennifer Brennan, 56, died in a head-on collision with a private ambulance on Arnold Mill Road near Mountain Road on Tuesday afternoon. The Cherokee Sheriff’s Office reported that Brennan’s car veered out of its lane, causing the crash. The ambulance’s front passenger sustained non-life-threatening injuries, while the patient in the ambulance was seriously injured. Both were transported to Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. 

STORY 5: Two Cherokee County Grads Receive Scholarships to Study Education 

Two Cherokee County Class of 2025 graduates, Rylee Pieterse from Woodstock High and Megan Torres from Etowah High, have each received $2,500 scholarships from Towne Lake Academy to pursue education degrees. Pieterse will study early childhood education at Kennesaw State University, having completed a teaching practicum and volunteering with local schools. Torres will attend the University of Georgia to study art education, with experience teaching art at a summer camp and volunteering extensively through Girl Scouts and school programs. The scholarships recognize their dedication to becoming future educators.
