Story 1. Ball ground
The Ball Ground City Council has decided to maintain the same property tax rate as last year. The millage rate for the upcoming fiscal year will be 3.938 mills. Although this means that properties that have increased in value will experience higher tax bills, the city council unanimously approved this decision. The rollback rate, which would have kept revenues the same as last year, is 3.539 mills. This results in an overall increase in city property tax revenue by 11.72%. For a $200,000 home, the property tax bill will be $33.04 higher compared to last year. It's important to note that this rate excludes Cherokee County fire district property taxes and the county's parks bond millage rate.

Friends and fellow Canton Police officers attended the ceremony to offer their support. With 18 years of law enforcement experience, Severance brings a wealth of knowledge to the department. He holds a master's degree and has completed various law enforcement-related training courses. The Canton Police Department expressed confidence that Officer Severance will be a great addition to their agency and the community they serve.
Story 3: vietnam
A deceased Vietnam War veteran, who had gone unclaimed, was recently laid to rest at the Georgia National Cemetery in Canton with the assistance of local veterans groups and Georgia Funeral Care, an Acworth funeral home. The funeral home took the initiative to claim the body and organized a proper burial. The veteran was honored with a burial at the Georgia National Cemetery, accompanied by full military honors. Georgia Funeral Care worked with the Navy, local Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion posts, as well as the Patriot Guard Riders, to ensure a dignified internment. Over 50 local veterans attended the ceremony to pay their respects. Georgia Funeral Care, a family-owned and operated funeral home, is dedicated to serving veterans and offers traditional burials and cremations on-site.

STORY 4: historic
Queen Custom Couture, a bridal, prom, and formal dress store, is relocating from downtown Woodstock to a new Roswell location in a few months. The move leaves the century-old building at 9010 Main St. up for sale. The building, originally the Emma Burns Home circa 1919, offers unique features such as corner access, grandfathered signage, an apartment, and multiple income streams. Queen Custom Couture, founded by Marcy White and Judy Waymire, has been operating in the building for five years. The store will be moving to a historic property in Roswell that provides more space for their bridal department. The move is expected to be completed by the end of September. In the meantime, the store is offering sales of 50-70% off.
Story 5: strip
A new shopping strip called Shops of Riverstone is set to open in late 2024 in the Riverstone area of Canton. The 16,300 square-foot building, located at 130 Reinhardt College Parkway, will offer seven tenant spaces ranging from 1,400 to 3,920 square feet, suitable for retail, fitness, service, and restaurant businesses. The shopping center will also provide 110 parking spaces. The leasing agent, Jimmy Davis, plans to secure family-friendly restaurants, service-oriented concepts like med spas and upscale hair salons, and boutique fitness concepts as tenants. The goal is to pre-lease the building within the next few months, begin construction in Q1 2024, and open the spaces by Q2 2024 in time for the 2024 holiday season. For leasing information, contact Davis at 470-237-2046.
Story 6: uga
The Georgia men's basketball team is preparing for an excursion to Italy, offering them an opportunity to build chemistry and improve as a team. With a roster featuring 10 new faces, including transfers and freshmen, the trip will be crucial in getting to know each other better. Coach Mike White, entering his second season with the Bulldogs, sees the extra practice and the road trip as valuable for team bonding. The Bulldogs will play exhibition games in Rome, Florence, and Sorrento, focusing on player assessment rather than winning. The trip is seen as a critical bonding exercise and an opportunity to create trust among teammates. This is the third international tour for the Bulldogs in the past 11 years.
