STORY 1: Woodstock Man Charged With Shooting Firework at Helicopter
A Woodstock man, David Rance Jeter, has been charged with shooting a firework at a helicopter, as well as yelling obscenities during an Indian wedding. He was arrested and charged with one count of terroristic threats and acts after firing a firework at a helicopter occupied by two passengers on October 20. In a separate incident on August 21, he was charged with one count of disorderly conduct for shouting obscenities during an Indian wedding, using a megaphone to make "insulting noises" in protest of the event. He blocked a lane of Cox Road and continued to yell obscenities until warned by officers to leave. Jeter is currently in custody with no bond.
STORY 2: Canton's Salty Dog Featured in New History Cherokee Book
Canton's iconic mascot, Salty Dog, is the star of a new book, "Salty Dog Goes to Denim Day," by Jennifer Dunn, with illustrations by Elly Hobgood. The book pays tribute to Salty Dog, historic downtown Canton, and the Canton Cotton Mills, taking readers on a journey through 1960s downtown Canton and the Canton Cotton Mills. In the story, Salty Dog embarks on a mission to deliver his mama's forgotten lunch at the mill. The book serves as a way for people who worked at the Canton Cotton Mills to share their experiences with their grandchildren. It will be available for purchase at the Cherokee County History Center and the Cotton Mill Exchange starting on November 26, with preorders available on the History Cherokee website. Salty Dog was originally created as the mascot for the Canton Cotton Mills' SCRUBDENIM brand, known for its softening process, and the advancements made at the mill continue to influence denim production today.
STORY 3: Cherokee County Leaders and Residents Discuss Affordable Housing
The Cherokee County Regional Housing Forum in Canton addressed the need for more affordable housing in the county. Leaders, community stakeholders, employers, real estate professionals, and more attended the event, emphasizing the importance of affordable housing. Margaret Stallings, Cherokee County Planning and Zoning Director, and Joe Collums from Georgia Communities, discussed an upcoming workforce housing apartment complex called Franklin Crossing, a 57-unit development aimed at addressing rising housing costs. The project, funded by low-income housing tax credits, is expected to offer rents that are significantly lower than current market rates for similar units. The development is set to be completed in the fall of 2024. Canton Housing Initiatives Director Ken Patton shared the city's plans for creating affordable and attainable housing.

STORY 4: Over 1,500 Ballots Cast in Cherokee County Ahead of Election Day
A total of 1,581 Cherokee County voters cast their ballots during the early voting period for the upcoming election. The early voting process proceeded smoothly. On Election Day, which is scheduled for November 7, the results of the various municipal elections will be determined. In Canton's municipal elections, multiple candidates are vying for the mayor's seat and two city council positions. Meanwhile, Woodstock voters will decide on a $24 million parks bond, with most of the funds slated for Little River Park. In Waleska, voters will consider two alcohol-related referendums. The third week of early voting saw the highest turnout overall.
STORY 5: Creekview's Dollar Claims State Championship
Katelynn Dollar, a Creekview senior, secured the Class AAAAAA state championship title in Carrollton, a redemption from last year's fourth-place finish. She started strong, competing closely with Marist's Ruby Little for the first half of the 3.1-mile race before surging at the midpoint. Dollar completed the race in 17:49.94, the fastest time among girls in any classification in Carrollton, concluding her high school cross country career with the state title. Creekview's boys also had a notable performance, with Malachi Burnett finishing third. However, the team fell short of their goal, finishing 10th in the team standings. Etowah, River Ridge, and Woodstock also participated.
