Commercial: CU of GA

STORY 1:Etowah High School Student Chefs Selected for State Culinary Contest

Etowah High School students Brianna Doville, Nami Alcaniz, and Lily Riggins were chosen for the Georgia Department of Education’s School Nutrition Division Student Chef Competition. Their dish, spicy quesadillas, was developed in their Family and Consumer Sciences class. Although they didn't win the top prize, they were finalists. Judges evaluated their entry on appeal, appearance, taste, and sanitation. The dish, featuring Georgia-grown ingredients, may appear on school menus. The recipe includes spinach flour tortillas, chicken, bell pepper, onion, jalapeno, spices, olives, and mozzarella cheese. After baking, it's served with a sour cream and milk sauce.

STORY 2:Cherokee County Firefighters Graduate Recruit Training

Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services welcomed 19 new firefighters in a graduation ceremony at Woodstock First Baptist Church. The recruits, including Ian Banks and Jacob Householder, underwent eight months of training and received Firefighter II and Advanced Emergency Medical Technician credentials. Awards were presented, including the Douglas Clark Waters Jr. Award to Charles Toburen and the Pinnacle Award to Householder. Rickey Fairchild received the Jill Mabley Star of Life Award. The recruits expressed gratitude to their instructors and support staff. Fire Chief Eddie Robinson swore them in, and family and friends pinned their badges. They began field operations on April 14.

STORY 3:Skandalakis to Take Over Investigation of Burt Jones in Trump Election Case

Pete Skandalakis, the head of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, has been appointed to lead the investigation into Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ alleged involvement in efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory in Georgia. This move comes after Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified due to a conflict of interest. Jones, accused of participating in a meeting of Republican "fake" electors, expressed relief at the development, criticizing Willis' handling of the case. Meanwhile, Willis faces scrutiny in her prosecution of Donald Trump and co-defendants, with accusations of an improper relationship with a special prosecutor.

STORY 4:Georgia Lawmakers Press US Postal Service on Continued Mail Disruptions and Delays

Georgia lawmakers, including Sen. Raphael Warnock and Rep. Rich McCormick, are pressing the USPS for answers regarding ongoing mail service disruptions in the state. They addressed concerns about the new Atlanta Regional Processing and Distribution Center and the USPS's "Delivering for America" plan. Lawmakers asked how USPS plans to improve mail efficiencies and ensure no one is left behind due to operational changes. Sen. Jon Ossoff plans to question USPS Postmaster General Louis DeJoy about delays linked to the Palmetto facility at a Senate hearing on April 16. Additionally, Warnock and other representatives urged the USPS Office of Inspector General to expand its audit of the distribution center to investigate potential disproportionate impacts on rural, minority, low-income, and underserved communities in Georgia.

STORY 5:Georgia House District Republican Candidates Court Cherokee County Voters

Republican candidates for Georgia House District 22, incumbent Rep. Jordan Ridley and challenger Paul Kettering, outlined their goals and views at a forum. Hosted by various Republican groups, the event focused on issues like the state budget, income tax, Homestead Option Sales Tax, Medicaid, and illegal immigration. Ridley emphasized his achievements and conservative principles, while Kettering highlighted the need for representation and simplicity in governance. Both candidates oppose Medicaid expansion and support school voucher programs. Ridley opposes term limits, while Kettering favors them. The forum attracted about 43 attendees, and two more events are scheduled in the series.

Gracie's parents described the devastating impact of the disease, which causes developmental delays, seizures, and progressive vision loss, ultimately leading to death in childhood. The adaptive bike, funded by The Fish and built by Freedom Concepts, aims to provide Gracie with mobility and joy amidst her health challenges. The emotional reveal brought comfort to her parents, who prioritize keeping Gracie comfortable amid her pain. The bike, costing $4,000 to $5,000, offers Gracie moments of happiness and freedom.

STORY 3:Northside Hospital offering newly-approved melanoma therapy treatment

Northside Hospital is pioneering a new T-cell therapy, AMTAGVI, for melanoma patients, making it the first hospital system in Georgia to offer this treatment. Approved by the FDA in February, AMTAGVI offers hope to those with unresectable and metastatic melanoma, providing a promising alternative for patients who have failed existing immunotherapies. This therapy involves isolating immune TIL cells from the patient's tumor, growing them in a lab, and reintroducing them into the patient to target and destroy cancer cells. With nearly 3,500 new melanoma cases expected in Georgia this year, Northside aims to address the challenges of treatment resistance and improve overall survival rates for patients. Referrals for AMTAGVI TIL therapy can be obtained through physicians or by contacting Northside Hospital directly.
