This initiative, part of a 25-year pavement life cycle plan, includes prominent subdivisions like Riverlake Landing, Golden Hills, and BridgeMill. Funding includes $3,297,747 from Georgia DOT's 2024 Local Road Assistance grant, with no local match required. Completion is slated by year-end 2024. An intergovernmental agreement amendment with Canton was also approved, covering 2.616 miles of city roads like Reservoir Drive and Marietta Highway, reimbursed by Canton for approximately $1 million. STORY 2: Mark Chesnutt Cancels Canton River Rock Show and Other Concerts Mark Chesnutt, scheduled to headline Canton's River Rock Music Fest on July 27, had to cancel due to recovering from emergency quadruple bypass surgery. His management cited the surgery and necessary recuperation time as reasons for the cancellation. Chesnutt expressed gratitude for support and understanding from fans and looked forward to returning soon. Canton officials are collaborating with his management to find a replacement headliner and will announce details shortly. For updates on the festival, visit ExploreCantonGA.com or CantonGA.gov. STORY 3: Free Microchipping Available for Cherokee County Pets Cherokee County is offering free microchipping for pets ahead of July 4th to prevent them from getting lost due to fireworks. The initiative aims to increase the chances of reuniting lost pets with their owners. Residents can visit the Cherokee County Animal Shelter in Canton from Tuesday to Saturday without an appointment. Microchipping is quick and involves minimal paperwork. If a pet goes missing, owners can fill out a form online or visit the shelter. Microchipped pets can be scanned to retrieve owner information swiftly. County offices, including the shelter, will be closed on July 4, but lost pet forms will still be processed.

Break: DRAKE STORY 4: Ball Ground Looking to Roll Back Milage Rate The Ball Ground City Council plans to maintain its millage rate for fiscal year 2025 at a "rollback" rate of 3.732, ensuring no property tax increase for residents. This rate matches the amount needed to generate the same property tax revenue as the previous year. City Manager Eric Wilmarth confirmed this decision, noting that it will result in approximately $1,001,000 in property tax revenue. Due to the required publication of a five-year tax history in the Cherokee Tribune, setting the millage rate has been rescheduled to July 11. The council previously approved a $6.3 million budget for the upcoming fiscal year in May. STORY 5: Cherokee County Man Convicted of Terroristic Threats Christopher Dean Bowling, 29, of Waleska, was convicted of terroristic threats by a Cherokee County jury following an incident last summer. The conviction stems from a domestic dispute where Bowling prevented his partner from leaving their home during an argument, which led to a disconnected 911 call. Evidence included a disturbing four-minute audio recording where Bowling allegedly threatened and strangled the victim. Despite the victim's reluctance for legal action, the prosecution emphasized the severity of emotional abuse and potential danger in the relationship. Bowling was acquitted of aggravated assault and cruelty to children charges but faced sentencing on June 21. For support in abusive situations, Cherokee Family Violence Center can be contacted at 770-479-1703, with emergency assistance available through 911.

STORY 2: Man Charged With Stealing $4,500 From Disabled Cherokee County Woman Flint Witt, a 58-year-old man from Dallas, Georgia, has been indicted by a Cherokee County grand jury for allegedly stealing approximately $4,500 from a disabled woman. The charges include robbery by sudden snatching, exploitation and intimidation of a disabled adult, and theft by taking. Witt, who was hired as a handyman, purportedly entered the woman's home under false pretenses and took the money from her kitchen countertop. The incident occurred on April 11, 2023, in southwest Cherokee County, and Witt reportedly fled the scene without attempting to return the money or contact the woman.

STORY 3: Seven Arrows in Woodstock Closing Doors After Nearly 24 Years After nearly 24 years, Cheryl West is reluctantly closing Seven Arrows, her beloved Native American art gallery and shop on Woodstock’s Main Street. Citing a significant rent increase, West, driven by her lifelong passion for Native American cultures, decided to shut down the store. Despite not having Native American heritage herself, she opened Seven Arrows in 2000, inspired by the book "Seven Arrows" by Hyemeyohsts Storm. The shop, known for its artifacts and jewelry from across the United States but not specifically Georgia tribes, will close alongside Diversified Mortgage Services, operated by her husband. Iconic items like large concrete cactuses displayed outside the shop are now for sale at discounted prices until the final closure, after which remaining items may be sold online or donated.
