STORY 2: killed
A motorcyclist, identified as Victor Torres, 28, from Atlanta, was killed in a collision with a Jeep Compass on Bells Ferry Road near Waldan Lane in Acworth. The Jeep was making a left turn from Waldan Lane onto Bells Ferry Road when the motorcycle, traveling south on Bells Ferry Road, collided with the side of the SUV. Torres was transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital but later succumbed to his injuries. The occupants of the Jeep were unharmed. The Cherokee Sheriff's Office Traffic Enforcement Unit is investigating the accident, and preliminary findings suggest that the Jeep pulled out in front of the motorcycle while the motorcycle was traveling at a high speed. No charges have been filed at this time.
Story 3: muslim
During a Canton City Council meeting, opposition arose from area residents regarding a conditional use permit request by Eden Community Centers for a social and cultural center at a specific location on Marietta Highway. The chairman of the nonprofit organization, Tareef Saab, described the center as a cultural and social club with limited religious functions, including Friday prayer services. Concerns were raised by residents about the need for a second center, potential religious influence, and the impact on local businesses. The council requested further information about the center's inclusivity, occupancy limits, religious activities, and potential impact on surrounding businesses. The vote on the request is scheduled for July 20.

STORY 4: kidney
Denise Robinson, a Ball Ground resident, is seeking a kidney transplant donor to help manage her kidney disease and continue caring for her family. After being diagnosed in 2011, Robinson's kidney function has progressively declined, and she now requires a transplant within the next year. While a deceased donor transplant is an option, the waitlist is long, with estimates ranging from five to eight years. Robinson's preferred treatment is to find a living donor, and she has begun the evaluation process at Piedmont Hospital. Living donor transplants offer better long-term outcomes and allow her to avoid the burdensome dialysis treatment.
Story 5: greene
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been expelled from the House Freedom Caucus, a prominent conservative group in Congress, following a heated feud with fellow Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert. Greene's expulsion was largely due to her derogatory remarks towards Boebert, including calling her an expletive during a dispute on the House floor. The altercation stemmed from their differing proposals to impeach President Joe Biden. This public spat was not the first between the two lawmakers, who have clashed previously over political alliances and strategies. Greene's removal from the caucus means she will no longer participate in their strategy sessions and discussions.
Story 6: vajda
Former Creekview golfer Jack Vajda emerged as the champion in the 73rd annual Golden Isles Invitational golf tournament held in Brunswick, GA. Vajda shot a six-under-par 66 in the final round, securing a two-shot victory. He finished the tournament with a total score of 16-under-par across three rounds. Vajda credited his strong wedge play and putting for his success on the course. The tournament featured a competitive field of amateur and college golfers. Vajda, who recently transferred to North Georgia, expressed his excitement about winning a prestigious event and looks forward to a successful final year of college golf.
