As of Saturday afternoon, over 3,000 customers were still without power, with most connected to an outage in east Cherokee. Wind speeds in parts of the Clayton community reached 90-95 miles per hour, equivalent to an EF-1 tornado, causing damage in northern and eastern Cherokee.

STORY 2: rowing
Cherokee County School District (CCSD) will introduce indoor rowing lessons to middle school physical education classes this fall after earning a national grant. The Concept2, Inc. Erg Ed grant, valued at $45,000, was awarded to CCSD by the George Pocock Rowing Foundation. Only two school districts nationwide received this grant, which includes 20 Concept2 rowing machines, adaptive equipment, curriculum, and teacher training. The Erg Ed program focuses on teaching rowing fundamentals, goal setting, and teamwork. CCSD middle schools and ACE Academy will incorporate a two-week rowing unit into their PE classes this school year. Teachers have undergone Learn to Row training, provided by the Allatoona Rowing Association, a partner in this initiative. The program aims to introduce rowing to approximately 10,000 middle school students in the local community.

Story 5: ga power
Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Co., has completed a crucial step in bringing the second of two nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle into operation. Southern Nuclear, along with Georgia Power, has submitted 364 inspections, tests, and analyses to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the second unit. This step ensures the NRC that the reactor meets nuclear safety and quality standards. Once the NRC confirms license acceptance criteria are met, fuel loading can commence. The second unit is expected to begin operating late this year or early next year, while the first unit is on track to be operational by the end of this month. The reactors faced delays and higher costs, but Georgia Power maintains nuclear power is essential for reliable energy for its 2.7 million customers.
Story 6: all state
