The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office (FCME) is participating in a Career Day at Hiram High School in Paulding County, with the goal of educating and inspiring students about potential careers as medical examiners and investigators. Medical examiners will explain their role in determining the cause and manner of death, as well as their collaboration with law enforcement. They will also discuss issuing death certificates, handling personal belongings, and locating next of kin. The event happened on September 20, 2023, at 8 a.m. at Hiram High School in Georgia............This from Newsbreak
Georgia students gearing up for the new school year should remember the importance of sports physicals, mandated by Georgia law for student athletes. These exams, known as preparticipation physical evaluations (PPEs), ensure it's safe for students to engage in sports and can uncover health issues that might affect performance or safety. It's advisable to schedule PPEs at least six weeks before the sports season begins to allow time for further tests or treatment if needed. During a PPE, a physician examines medical history, conducts a physical tailored to the sport, and checks for underlying conditions. It's crucial not only for eligibility but for athletes' overall health and safety. CareSource offers sports physicals through its mobile unit, Wellness on Wheels, in various locations throughout September. However, sports physicals should not replace a child's annual well visit, which provides a more comprehensive view of their overall health, including immunizations and developmental milestones............This from Georgia Trend Daily

Keith Paine, who was severely injured in a hit-and-run accident in Austell, Georgia, is calling for safety improvements on the road where the incident occurred. Paine was assisting a 63-year-old woman with a flat tire on Cardell Road when another driver collided with her car, throwing him 20 feet into a ditch. He suffered head injuries requiring staples, a collapsed lung, and swelling in his right leg. Paine, who is self-employed, faces at least a 4-week recovery period without income and maybe longer. He expressed concerns about speeding on Cardell Road, inadequate street lighting, and mailbox damage. Cobb County authorities have initiated a traffic study in response to the incident. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help with Paine's medical bills, and the condition of the injured woman, Deborah Wright, remains unknown. The driver responsible for the hit-and-run, Anthony Sarfo, is in Cobb County Jail, facing multiple charges.............This from Fox 5

Sports:
From the Paulding Sports Chronicles
Most of Paulding County was on a bye week and only one team in the county played.
South Paulding fell to Newnan 15-21
But in other news Hiram is ranked #5 in the 5A division in the state!
Weird news:
An Amazon delivery driver in Florida is in serious condition after being bitten by a rattlesnake while delivering a package. The incident occurred when the driver placed a box by the front door of a home, and an eastern diamondback snake leaped out and bit her. She quickly fell ill and called for assistance. She was subsequently hospitalized and was reported to be in "very serious" condition. The snake responsible for the bite was captured and euthanized. Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes are common in the Southeastern United States and are the largest rattlesnake species, with a bite that can be fatal in 10% to 20% of cases if left untreated. Martin County, where the incident occurred, is located on Florida's Atlantic coast, just north of Palm Beach. The driver's name and age were not disclosed in the report............This from Fox 5
Please be careful around snakes. As it starts to get cold, they will try to find warmer places to lie. Paulding, I have even had baby snakes come into my house at one point during the winter because they are so small.

Stacy Bodiford Atkins posted “Something needs to be done about all the panhandlers that are popping up everywhere!! They are even showing up on the back roads. Saw one today on the corner of Due West and Mount Tabor.”
If you don’t know what a Panhandler is it is someone who begs for money on a street corner or just in passing.

Laura Russell Glazener from Dallas “Bidenomics”
Faye Witt from Dallas “You could make up bags with easy to open cans of food, toothbrushes and paste, a comb a couple of bottles of water, hygiene products.
Have different items for men and women. Our church has done this. I have even bought cheap umbrellas to have to give out if you see someone in the rain. They are someone's family.”
Angie Holland Callahan from Dallas “Some folks are just one sickness, one accident, 1 paycheck from joining them, whatever happened to compassion.
A homeless shelter is needed and better resources available to them.”
Cody Brock from Villa Rica “God forbid people need help.”
Kelli Sluder from Hiram “You don't have to necessarily give him money. Instead of posting on Facebook why don't you just buy them food or something.”
From the What’s Happening in Paulding County Facebook page:
Breanna Simmons posted “North Georgia Fair !!
So y’all …!! We go to the fair every year and we enjoy it so much! I know they have a very strict policy of no outside food or drink!!!
But …. My kid is a type 1 DIABETIC and he requires lots of things !!!! Snacks and water being the main thing! We went to the fair tonight and they did the bag check and I am not pleased with how they treated us! I showed them his diabetes bag and they approved it but then I showed them a bag of literally mainly WATER BOTTLES !!!! …just mainly water and there was a snack shoved in there and a Diet Coke ….but mostly the whole thing was water bottles with water in them !!!!!!! I told them he’s diabetic and has to have this stuff and they made me take it back to my car !!! I can’t even !!!!!!!!!! Diabetics have to have water!… and I’m not waiting in line for any water or snacks at that fair!”
These are your responses from actual Paulding county citizens - as reported on Whats Happening Paulding County
Tina Contois from Dallas “My son is T1D for 24 years now. Yes we had bags checked and things mentioned, but I never backed down. I took everything we needed with us wherever we went no matter what they said.  Peanut butter crackers, juice boxes, bottled water went everywhere we went.”
Tera Pae from Dallas “Go to DT get a makeup bag and get a Cricut and print out Diabetes Medical Bag on it and add snacks and water. They will leave it alone.”
Stephanie Brady from Dallas “My sons type 1……I could see them saying no to the drinks but I would absolutely be taking in snacks for a low. You don’t have time to wait in line when there’s an urgent fast low coming on. I will also lie and say he has food allergies he can only eat what I packed “
Brenda Thomas from Hiram “Maybe that would be some good feed back to the higher up. Surely they can figure out a way for the guests to complete a medical form prior to arriving and then the guest can get a wrist band once checked in.”

A fourth individual, Rodney Sanders, has been arrested in connection with the murder of Acworth teen Aiden Shaw.

Police initially arrested Jaiden Colon-Crawford shortly after the shooting, followed by David Travis and Cibias Vieira in June. All four individuals face charges of murder, aggravated assault, and burglary. Court documents indicate that items including a black safe containing approximately $300, a pair of shoes, and an AR-15 rifle were taken from the apartment during the incident. Sanders' arrest followed new leads provided to the police................This from Fox 5

Helton has been arrested and is facing multiple charges after allegedly sending inappropriate photos to an individual he believed to be a minor and traveling to Georgia to meet them. The charges against Helton include criminal attempted aggravated child molestation, electronic enticement, and obscene materials. Upon his arrest, authorities also discovered methamphetamine and two glass smoking devices in his possession.
