Commercial: MILL ON ETOWAH REV GENERIC_FINAL STORY 1: Cherokee County’s Bizarre Coffee Expanding to Roswell Bizarre Coffee, known for its creative coffee blends and community focus, is opening its third and largest location in Roswell at 1090 Alpharetta St. in fall 2025. The 3,500-square-foot shop will feature an expanded menu, including specialty cocktails, alongside its signature coffee and food offerings. Founded by Sabrina Kaylor in 2020, Bizarre Coffee started as a farmer’s market favorite before opening locations in Canton and Woodstock. The Roswell shop aims to be a community hub with space for gatherings and events. For more details, visit www.bizarrecoffee.com. STORY 2: Woodstock Joins Support for Creating Cherokee County Land Bank Woodstock leaders have joined Canton, Cherokee County, and Holly Springs in supporting the creation of the Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority. On April 28, the Woodstock City Council unanimously approved a resolution expressing interest in developing a proposal for the land bank, which aims to redevelop blighted and delinquent properties. The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners and other cities approved similar resolutions earlier this year. The land bank would be a public entity governed by a board of directors from participating jurisdictions, requiring collaboration between the county and at least one municipality to move forward. STORY 3: Debra Shigley to Run for Georgia Senate Debra Shigley, a Democrat from Milton, has announced her candidacy for Georgia’s Senate District 21 seat, soon to be vacated by Sen. Brandon Beach. Shigley, a mom of five, small business owner, and former employment attorney, aims to prioritize affordability, public safety, and strong education. Backed by the Senate Democratic Caucus, she joins a race with seven Republican candidates, including Cherokee County’s Jason Dickerson, Brice Futch, and Steve West. Shigley previously ran a record-breaking campaign for Georgia House and has been active in local governance and voter advocacy. Her formal announcement is set for Thursday in Canton. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. Break: STORY 4: Georgia Pre-K Takes Steps to Improve After Slip in National Rankings Georgia's lottery-funded pre-kindergarten program, once a national leader, has seen declining enrollment since 2019, worsened by the pandemic. Enrollment has dropped from over 60% to 55%, with around 70,000 children currently enrolled, down from 80,000. A new report by the National Institute for Early Education Research gave Georgia an 8/10 for quality, citing large class sizes as a drawback. However, $97 million in new funding this year aims to improve teacher pay, reduce class sizes, and boost quality, potentially restoring Georgia's leadership in preschool excellence. Challenges remain in addressing enrollment disparities and capacity shortages across the state. STORY 5: Woodstock Leaders Approve New Voting Precinct Location Woodstock has approved a new polling precinct, Arnold Mill, located at Arnold Mill Elementary School, bringing the city’s total to 11 precincts. The City Council voted unanimously on April 28 to adopt the resolution, with Councilmember David Potts absent. Residents of the new Vista Ridge subdivision will vote at this location. The full list of Woodstock polling locations is available, and voters can confirm their precinct on Georgia’s My Voter Page website.

The property at 7658 Union Hill Road, near Avery Elementary, may now be available at a reduced price. County leaders, including Commissioners Steve West and Richard Weatherby, are exploring purchasing the land for a future park, though development would take years.

Highlighting his commitment to balancing growth with the county’s rural heritage, Cagle promises practical solutions and responsible planning. A community leader, he has chaired the Georgia Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee and served on the American Farm Bureau Federation YF&R Committee. Cagle lives in Ball Ground with his wife and two sons. STORY 5: Cherokee County Students Advance to District Oratorical Contest Cherokee County students Leigha Samuel and Andrew Alderman earned first and second place, respectively, in the Area 1 Gateway Optimist Oratorical Contest on April 12.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of April 18th Publish Date: April 18th Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, April 18th and Happy Birthday to Melissa Joan Hart ***04.18.25 - BIRTHDAY – MELISSA JOAN HART*** I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cherokee County Approves 3.5 Miles of Resurfacing in Canton Nelson Buys 4 Acres From Cherokee for Public Works Building Judge says Trump officials likely in contempt over deportations Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on Celiac Disease We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: MILL ON ETOWAH REV GENERIC_FINAL STORY 1: Cherokee County Approves 3.5 Miles of Resurfacing in Canton Residents of Great Sky and Laurel Canyon neighborhoods in Canton will soon see road resurfacing, following an agreement between Cherokee County and the city of Canton. The project covers 3.595 miles of roads, costing $941,199.89, with an additional 0.405 miles possible if funds allow. Funded by Local Maintenance and Improvement Grants and SPLOST, work includes Great Sky Parkway, Fountain Oak Way, and Laurel Canyon Parkway. Cherokee County also approved a $3.36 million contract for resurfacing 17 miles countywide, including Towne Lake Hills East. Projects are set to finish by September, avoiding school traffic disruptions. STORY 2: Nelson Buys 4 Acres From Cherokee for Public Works Building The city of Nelson will build a new public works facility on a four-acre parcel purchased from Cherokee County for $120,000. Approved by the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners on April 15, the sale proceeds will go to the county fire department’s 2024 SPLOST budget. Nelson plans to use the site for housing sanitation trucks and equipment. The remaining six acres of the property will host a future fire station, replacing the unstaffed Fire Station 26, to better serve northern Cherokee County. STORY 3: Judge says Trump officials likely in contempt over deportations A federal judge, James Boasberg, found sufficient evidence to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for deporting accused Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador on March 15, defying his verbal order to halt the flights. Boasberg cited "willful disregard" and "bad faith" by officials but has not yet named individuals for prosecution, giving the administration a chance to comply by allowing detainees to seek U.S. judicial review. The deportations, tied to Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act, sparked legal battles over presidential authority and due process, with the Supreme Court later overturning Boasberg’s order pausing the removals. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. Break: STORY 4: Paid Parking Zones Coming to Downtown Woodstock Starting June 1, about 15% of downtown Woodstock’s parking spaces will require payment after the first free hour, costing $2 per hour for the second and third hours. The Woodstock City Council approved the plan to improve parking turnover and reduce congestion, benefiting local businesses. Paid zones include Chambers, Elm, Main, and East Main Streets, with enforcement from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Most parking, including a 600-space deck, remains free. Managed by Pivot Parking, the program aims to create 1,000 additional daily parking opportunities, with revenues funding enforcement and future parking improvements. STORY 5: Cherokee County Historic Store Transforming Into Coffee Shop The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved a legacy use for We2Friends Coffeehouse to transform the historic J.B. Mathis General Store on Union Hill Road into a coffeehouse and gift shop. Built in 1950, the store is a cherished piece of local history. The legacy use allows the business to open without rezoning, preserving the building while adapting it for modern community needs. The coffeehouse will feature locally roasted coffee, gifts, and a welcoming space for social interaction. Commissioners hope this project inspires others to restore historic buildings in the area.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of April 11th Publish Date: April 11th Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, April 11th and Happy Birthday to Ethel Kennedy ***04.11.25 - BIRTHDAY – ETHEL KENNEDY*** I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Lawmakers Pass Bill Establishing Internal Auditor for Cherokee Schools Reinhardt to Move Nursing School to Main Campus in Waleska Driver’s License Deadline Approaching Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sugar free cakes We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: MILL ON ETOWAH REV GENERIC_FINAL STORY 1: Lawmakers Pass Bill Establishing Internal Auditor for Cherokee Schools A bill to establish an internal auditor for the Cherokee County Board of Education has passed the Georgia General Assembly and awaits Gov. Brian Kemp’s approval. Sponsored by Rep. Jordan Ridley, HB 845 aims to enhance transparency and accountability in school district budgets. The auditor, a certified professional with five years of experience, would conduct comprehensive audits, including financial and operational reviews. The bill follows recent school board actions to address financial concerns, including audits related to the state’s floating homestead property tax exemption, which could have cost the district $50 million over three years. STORY 2: Reinhardt to Move Nursing School to Main Campus in Waleska Reinhardt University is relocating its Dr. John A. Cauble School of Nursing and Health Sciences from Jasper to its main campus in Waleska by fall 2025. The move, funded by Dr. John A. Cauble and Sally Forest, aims to foster program growth, student engagement, and academic support. Established in 2017 and accredited in 2019, the nursing school has thrived, with its latest cohort achieving a 100% NCLEX pass rate for the third consecutive year. The relocation follows enrollment shifts and space reassessments, marking a new chapter for the program while maintaining ties to Pickens County. STORY 3: Driver’s License Deadline Approaching Starting May 7, U.S. travelers will need a REAL ID or another acceptable form of identification to board domestic flights. Georgia began issuing REAL ID-compliant licenses in 2012, but those who recently moved or haven’t renewed their license should check for a gold or black star in the upper right corner of their ID. If it’s missing, schedule an appointment with the Department of Driver Services to avoid long lines as the deadline approaches. The REAL ID Act, passed in 2005, aims to enhance security and reduce identity fraud. Visit a state-approved office to apply if needed. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. Break: STORY 4: Two to Serve 25 Years in Prison for Cherokee County Home Invasion Kaiden Pridgen, 19, and Cibias Vieira, 23, pled guilty to charges from a 2022 Cherokee County home invasion and attempted armed robbery, receiving 35-year sentences with 25 years in prison. The masked defendants, armed with a pistol, assaulted and held victims at gunpoint while searching for cash. Evidence from surveillance, geofence data, and social media linked them to the crime. Pridgen, 16 at the time, was tried as an adult due to the crime's severity. A third accomplice, David Kelley, who acted as the driver, received a 20-year sentence with five years in prison. The case highlights the lasting trauma of home invasions. STORY 5: Woodstock's Transport Solutions of America Celebrates 20 Years Transport Solutions of America (TSOA), a Woodstock-based fleet logistics company, celebrated its 20th anniversary in March. Founded in 2005 by Tim Williamson, TSOA began by transporting heavy-duty assets and has since grown into a leading provider for all vehicle classes across North America. The company also launched TSOA Fleet in Canada, headquartered in Mississauga, to support Canadian fleet operations. TSOA credits its success to dedicated employees and loyal customers. Recently, it introduced an upgraded client portal for improved vehicle tracking and reporting. TSOA remains committed to exceptional customer service as it looks to the future.

Commercial: MILL ON ETOWAH REV GENERIC_FINAL STORY 1: Roundabout to Replace Four-Way Intersection in Ball Ground A $3.2 million roundabout is set to replace the four-way stop at Ball Ground Highway and Howell Bridge Road to address safety and congestion issues. The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved the project, awarding the contract to Wilson Construction Management, the lowest bidder. Construction, in partnership with the city of Ball Ground, begins in May and will take about a year, with intermittent lane closures. Funded by SPLOST and a $500,000 GDOT grant, the roundabout also marks the first phase of the Ball Ground Bypass project. STORY 2: Canton Police Investigating Fatal Crash The Canton Police Department is investigating a fatal crash involving a tractor-trailer and an SUV on Riverstone Parkway near the I-575 southbound on-ramp. Emergency responders quickly arrived, and the interstate was temporarily closed for investigation and cleanup. The roadway has since reopened, but the cause of the crash remains under investigation. Police Chief Marty Ferrell expressed condolences to the victim's family and urged anyone with information to contact the Special Operations Division at 770-720-4883. STORY 3: Cherokee County Puts Pause on Gas Stations and Convenience Stores Cherokee County has enacted a 90-day moratorium on new applications for gas stations, convenience stores, and car washes in unincorporated areas. Approved unanimously by the Board of Commissioners, the pause allows time to assess zoning and placement of these businesses, particularly along the Highway 92 corridor, which already has nine under construction. Existing permits are unaffected. A public hearing will follow the moratorium to decide on potential extensions or new regulations. Commissioner Corey Ragsdale emphasized the need to address public concerns and better plan future developments. Mobile car wash businesses are exempt from the moratorium. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

Tina Farmer, CCSD’s executive director of School Nutrition, and Jessica Emmett, Culinary Specialist, attended the event, which featured a lunch and cooking demo by 2025 Georgia Grown Chef Carlos Granderson, showcasing local ingredients. STORY 5: Industrial Park Coming to Ball Ground Highway Cherokee County has approved a 35.74-acre rezoning for a 150,000-square-foot industrial park near Ball Ground Highway and the Cherokee County Regional Airport. The development, by Ball Ground Business Park, LLC, will feature three 50,000-square-foot buildings and 411 parking spaces. Zoned as a "workplace center," it aligns with the county's vision for light industrial use. Access will be from Ball Ground Highway, with no entry via Allison Lane. Conditions include adding turn lanes per a traffic study and requiring another study if the site expands beyond 150,000 square feet. Zoning buffers will separate it from nearby agricultural properties.

Commercial: MILL ON ETOWAH REV GENERIC_FINAL STORY 1: Cherokee County School Board Takes Steps to Pursue Forensic Audit The Cherokee County school board approved a forensic audit of the district’s finances on March 20, following concerns from citizens about budget transparency after opting out of the House Bill 581 homestead exemption. Board Member Chance Beam proposed the audit to restore public trust and address potential inefficiencies. The motion passed 5-2, though dissenting members Kelly Poole and Susan Padgett-Harrison raised concerns about unknown costs. The board will meet on March 27 to clarify the audit’s scope and discuss costs, with suggestions to phase the audit to manage expenses. The meeting will be live-streamed for public access. STORY 2: Woodstock High School Graduate Competing on 'American Idol' Ethan Senger, a Woodstock High School graduate, will appear on the March 30 episode of *American Idol*, performing his original song "Something to Write About" during the final audition stage. Senger, who grew up in a musical family, began playing guitar at age 7 and singing at 8. Encouraged by his girlfriend, he auditioned via Zoom and advanced to perform for judges Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and Lionel Richie. Senger described the experience as a valuable test of his poise and confidence. Now a full-time musician, he blends rock, pop, and indie in his music and has an upcoming performance on April 5 in Atlanta. STORY 3: Free Home Elementary Open House Set for April The Cherokee County School District will host an open house for the new Free Home Elementary School on April 29 from 5-6:30 p.m. at 8828 Ball Ground Road near Cumming. The new building, opening for classes in August, will replace the current 1950s structure impacted by a highway widening project. While currently serving 274 students, the new facility is designed to accommodate up to 850, supporting future growth. Free Home Elementary has a history spanning nearly 120 years, making this a significant milestone for the community. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. Break: STORY 4: Cherokee High School Celebrates Food Pantry Expansion Cherokee High School has expanded its food pantry through a partnership with Kroger and MUST Ministries, celebrated with a ribbon-cutting on March 26. Originally established in 2020 by the Student Athlete Leadership Team, the pantry provides nonperishable food, toiletries, and paper products to students, staff, and families in need. The expansion is part of Kroger’s $207,000 donation to support school pantries across metro Atlanta. Serving 50-100 families monthly, the pantry also offers discreet backpack programs and monthly distributions. Principal Andy Hall and MUST Ministries leaders praised the partnership for addressing food insecurity and supporting the community. STORY 5: Lawmakers decide to ban cellphones in public elementary and middle schools Georgia's General Assembly passed House Bill 340, banning personal cellphone use in elementary and middle schools starting next fall, with Gov. Brian Kemp expected to decide on the measure soon. The "Distraction-Free Education Act" aims to reduce classroom distractions and improve student well-being, requiring devices to be locked away during school hours, with exceptions for medical needs. Inspired by global efforts to limit technology's impact on children, the bill follows similar bans in other states and countries. While some Democrats raised concerns about broader school safety issues, the bill received bipartisan support, with discussions of extending the ban to high schools in the future.

Commercial: MILL ON ETOWAH REV GENERIC_FINAL STORY 1: Cellphone Ban in Georgia Public Schools Closer to Becoming law Georgia's House Bill 340, which bans cellphones in public elementary and middle schools, advanced through a Senate committee and awaits a full Senate vote. Proponents argue that smartphones harm student behavior, mental health, and academic performance, while critics question emergency communication and the exclusion of high schools. The bill mandates schools to establish post-emergency communication policies. Rep. Scott Hilton suggested high school bans could follow in the future. Advocates, including ExcelinEd, highlight improved mental health and academics in states with similar bans. The bill passed the committee 4-1 and moves to the Senate Rules Committee. STORY 2: Cherokee County Students Place at State Tech Competition Six Cherokee County School District students earned statewide recognition at the Georgia Student Technology Competition. The contest, open to grades 3-12, showcases projects in categories like mobile apps, robotics, and video production. Thirty-eight CCSD students advanced to state after winning regionals. State winners include Micah Currie (Productivity Design), Jackson Davis and Bella Higgins (Animation), and James Moody (Digital Photo Production), all earning second place. Zephyr Johnson (Device Modification) and Jack Mizelle (Project Programming) secured third place. STORY 3: Trader Joe's Could be Coming to Adair Park in Woodstock Adair Park developer Eric Richards is seeking to expand the Woodstock development with a mixed-use project that could include a Trader Joe's. Richards has applied for permits to build single-family homes, townhomes, and a multi-family building with retail space, including a grocery store. Plans also propose extending Short Street and creating a pedestrian-friendly road connecting Main Street and Rope Mill Road. The project, which may require $9 million in city funding for infrastructure, is under review by Woodstock's Planning Commission and City Council in April. Richards aims to complete the development by 2030. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. Break: STORY 4: Site Work Set to Begin on Property for New CATS Building Cherokee County is set to begin site work for a new Cherokee Area Transit Service (CATS) Administration Building at Univeter and Pinecrest Roads near Canton. The Board of Commissioners approved an $849,000 construction services agreement with Place Services, Inc., plus an $85,000 contingency. This phase includes clearing, earthwork, and stormwater system installation, with clearing expected to start by month's end. The building is still in design, with construction contracts anticipated by summer and completion expected within a year. Funded 80% by a federal grant and 20% by local sales tax, the facility will address current space shortages and support CATS' growth for 20+ years. STORY 5: Tort Reform Passes Another Hurdle in Georgia General Assembly Gov. Brian Kemp's priority tort reform bill, Senate Bill 68, advanced through a Georgia House committee after extensive hearings. The bill aims to curb high jury awards impacting businesses by introducing measures like premises liability guidelines, seat belt evidence in auto cases, and limiting medical damage claims to actual costs. Concerns about its impact on sex trafficking victims led to amendments allowing exceptions for these cases, avoiding retraumatization in court. While some lawmakers pushed for broader protections for other sexual crime victims, the focus remained on trafficking. The bill, already passed by the Senate, may reach the House floor soon.

Commercial: WILDLIFE EXPO_REV_FINAL STORY 1: Georgia Supreme Court raises concerns about 2019 child custody law The Georgia Supreme Court has raised concerns about the 2019 Equitable Caregiver law, which allows non-parents to seek custody or visitation rights if they demonstrate a parental role and bond with a child. In *Dias v. Boone*, the court reversed a lower court's decision granting Abby Boone equitable caregiver status over Michelle Dias’s child, ruling the law didn’t apply as Boone’s relationship with the child predated the law. While the justices questioned the law’s constitutionality regarding parental rights, they did not strike it down, instead issuing a narrow ruling specific to this case. STORY 2: Man Charged With Murder After Shooting at Cherokee County Home A man, David Daniel, 44, has been arrested and charged with murder after Michael Kyle Reid, 42, was found dead from a gunshot wound in a carport on North Lake Drive near Canton on Monday night. Deputies responded to the scene around 10:22 p.m., where Daniel, the boyfriend of the homeowner, was present alongside Reid, an acquaintance of both. A firearm was recovered at the scene. Daniel is being held without bond at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center as the investigation continues. STORY 3: DeJoy Delivers Exit Notice to USPS After Five Years Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced plans to step down after five years leading the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The USPS Board of Governors will begin searching for his successor. DeJoy, whose tenure was marked by controversy, implemented modernization efforts to cut costs by $4 billion annually and increase revenue by $5 billion. Despite these changes, USPS expects a $6.9 billion net loss in fiscal year 2025. DeJoy praised the 640,000 USPS employees for their resilience amid challenges and highlighted ongoing efforts to improve service standards and competitiveness. USPS remains self-funded, relying on postage and services for operations. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

Available exemptions include the standard homestead exemption, which reduces assessed home values for county and school taxes, and a floating homestead exemption that freezes property values for county taxes. Seniors 62+ with a valid homestead exemption for five years now qualify for a 100% school tax exemption, per Senate Bill 388. Additionally, House Bill 581 introduces a statewide floating homestead exemption for fire district and city taxes. Residents are encouraged to apply to reduce their tax burden. For details, visit the Cherokee County Tax Assessors website.

Operated by local residents Steve and Tonya Riddick, the shop will offer a variety of desserts, including cobblers, cookies, cheesecake, and cobbler shakes, along with savory options like a chicken pot pie-style cobbler.

Woodstock Police Looking for Man Last Seen in December Congress clears immigrant detention bill for Trump’s signature on his 3rd day in office Cherokee County School District Announces Spelling Bee Champ Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on raw milk We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) STORY 1: Woodstock Police Looking For Man Last Seen in December The Woodstock Police Department is seeking public assistance in locating Christopher Moss, a 43-year-old man missing since last month. Moss is described as white, 5'10", and weighing 220 pounds. He is driving a grey Jeep Cherokee with Georgia license plate CIR3274 and may be headed to Alabama. Authorities advise anyone who sees him to contact local law enforcement and not to approach him. STORY 2: Congress clears immigrant detention bill for Trump’s signature on his 3rd day in office The U.S. House passed a bill expanding mandatory detention for immigrants charged with petty crimes, sending it to President Trump for approval. The bill, named after Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, passed with bipartisan support, reflecting Trump's immigration crackdown agenda. Critics argue it could lead to mass deportations, as it mandates detention without bond and lacks exceptions for children. The bill also allows state attorneys general to challenge federal immigration policies. Enforcing the law could cost $26.9 billion in its first year, far exceeding ICE's budget. Amendments further broaden detention requirements for assaulting officers and causing serious harm.
