STORY 1: The Little Sober Bar to Oen in Canton This Fall
The Little Sober Bar, a mobile non-alcoholic bar based in Woodstock, is opening a permanent location in Canton at 160 Lee St. Suite A this September. The new retail space will offer a range of non-alcoholic beverages, including alcohol-free spirits, wines, beers, and mixers. In addition to the brick-and-mortar store, the bar will continue its mobile popups statewide. Founder Bryttany Hyde expressed excitement about expanding inventory and engaging more with the community through this new location. For updates, follow @thelittlesoberbar on social media.
STORY 2: Property Taxes Could Be Going Up in Woodstock. What We Know
The city of Woodstock is proposing a new maintenance and operations millage rate of 5.223 mills, which would increase property taxes by 2.855%. This rate is 0.145 mills higher than the rollback rate of 5.078 mills needed to maintain the same revenue as last year. If approved, a home valued at $475,000 would see a tax increase of about $27.55, while a non-homestead property valued at $350,000 would face an increase of about $20.30. The city’s budget for fiscal year 2025 is $80.6 million, a 10% decrease from last year. Public hearings on the proposed rate will be held on August 12, 19, and 26, with a final vote scheduled for August 26. All meetings will be at the Chambers at City Center, 8534 Main St. For more details, visit woodstockga.gov.
STORY 3: Cherokee Sheriff’s Office: Tree Falls on Car, Killing Driver
A 27-year-old man, Levi Benjamin Wilson from Woodstock, has died after a tree fell on his car during storms in southeast Cherokee County. The incident occurred on Vaughn Road near Canton around 7:48 p.m. Tuesday. Deputies found Wilson deceased in the vehicle; no one else was in the car. The Cherokee Sheriff’s Office reported the tragic event on Wednesday morning.

STORY 4: Cherokee County Chorus Students Selected for Statewide Event
The Dean Rusk Middle School Chorus, directed by Joseph Salter, has been chosen to perform at the Georgia ACDA Fall Conference in October at Kennesaw State University. Selected as one of only four middle schools for this event, the chorus also received a unique grant to commission and premiere a new piece of music.
STORY 5: Sawnee EMC Acquires More Solar Energy
Sawnee Electric Membership Corporation (Sawnee EMC) is expanding its solar energy portfolio by participating in five new utility-scale solar projects totaling 447 megawatts. Sawnee EMC will secure 60 megawatts from these projects, which are developed by Green Power EMC and will be operated by Silicon Ranch. The projects, scheduled to begin construction in 2025 and start coming online from late 2026 to late 2027, will be purchased at a fixed price for 25 years. This initiative aligns with Sawnee EMC’s commitment to a diversified, environmentally responsible energy portfolio. With this addition, Sawnee EMC’s renewable assets will reach approximately 184 megawatts.

STORY 6: CCSD: Drive Safely Around School Buses, Bus Stops, Schools
As the school year began on August 1, the Cherokee County School District urged drivers to be cautious and follow road rules around schools and buses. Key reminders included:
- Slowing down for school buses with yellow flashing lights; stopping for red flashing lights and waiting until they stopped flashing before resuming driving.
- Never passing a stopped school bus; stopping whether behind or on the opposite side, unless it was a divided highway.
- Slowing down near bus stops and school zones, and being vigilant for children crossing the street.
- Expecting heavy traffic around schools as parents dropped off students before using CCSD buses.
Local law enforcement increased their presence to ensure safety. For more information, the district directed people to visit www.cherokeek12.net/schools.
STORY 7: Cherokee County Websites Shifts to .gov
As of August 1, 2024, Cherokee County has transitioned to a .gov domain for its official website and email addresses. The new website is www.cherokeecountyga.gov, and county emails now use @cherokeecountyga.gov. This change, aimed at enhancing cybersecurity and ensuring authenticity, follows over a year of effort by the county’s IT department to secure the domain and migrate content. While most county websites have switched to .gov, some, like Cherokee Recreation and Parks, will remain on .org and .com domains. For comprehensive information, visit the updated county site.
We’ll have closing comments after this.
