STORY 1: Sequoyah High School alum designs rocket engine for NASA

 

Dalton Luedke, a 2021 graduate of Sequoyah High School and an aerospace engineering student at Georgia Tech, completed a seven-month internship with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. During his internship, Luedke designed, built, and tested a sub-scale rotating detonation rocket engine called MARLEN (Maturation of Additive Really Little Engines). This innovative engine has the potential to simplify testing timelines and impact the future of propulsion systems for space exploration. Luedke's passion for aerospace engineering and his experience at NASA have fueled his ambition to continue contributing to the field, and he plans to return to NASA for another internship.....……Read more on this story at tribuneledgernews.com

 

STORY 2: RSV vaccine for adults 65+ available at Cherokee County Health Department

 

The Cherokee County Health Department, along with other North Georgia Health District public health departments, is offering a single-dose Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccine to adults aged 65 and older. RSV is a common respiratory virus that can lead to severe illness in older adults. This vaccine is especially recommended for individuals with weakened immune systems, those on certain medications, those with chronic medical conditions, and those in nursing homes. The vaccine is also suggested for adults aged 60 and older. Medicare Part D plans often cover the cost of the vaccine. Details on clinic locations and hours can be found on the North Georgia Health District website.

 

STORY 3: Three people charged with trafficking meth in Cherokee County

 

Three individuals were arrested and charged with trafficking methamphetamine following a traffic stop in Cherokee County. The Cherokee Sheriff's Office conducted the stop, during which they discovered the driver had an active arrest warrant, the front passenger provided false information and had a warrant in Acworth, and the rear passenger had an active warrant in Cobb County. Subsequently, authorities found approximately four ounces of methamphetamine, marijuana, and prescription medication inside the vehicle. The suspects face multiple charges, including trafficking methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, and providing false information to law enforcement. They are currently held without bond at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center.

STORY 4: Four county football teams sport winning records at halfway point

 

At the midway point of the high school football season in Cherokee County, there are several noteworthy developments. Etowah and Creekview lead the county with 4-1 records. Etowah's star player, Xavier Mahoney, has been instrumental, amassing 1,427 total yards and 20 touchdowns. Sequoyah, after a shaky start, has won three consecutive games, largely due to their strong defense. Creekview, with quarterback Austin Guest, is on track to return to the playoffs after missing out last year. Woodstock ended a two-year winless streak, and River Ridge is looking to rebound after two losses. Cherokee will face a challenging Wheeler team in its first Region 5AAAAAAA game.

 

Story 5: CCRP donates to Rescuing Hope

 

The Cherokee County Republican Party (CCRP) hosted Rescuing Hope, a nonprofit focused on aiding human trafficking victims, and conducted a fundraiser for the organization. Rescuing Hope Program Director Crystal Burdette shared insights about human trafficking and their work assisting victims during the event on September 13. The Marietta-based organization provides training to various groups, including law enforcement and educators, on identifying trafficking victims and providing support. CCRP successfully raised over $2,000 to support Rescuing Hope's mission. For more details about Rescuing Hope, visit their website at https://www.rescuinghope.com.
