STORY 1: City Approves Four Duplexes in Canton’s Riverstone Area

The Canton City Council has approved a request to allow residential development in the Riverstone area, specifically permitting four duplexes, totaling eight homes, on 0.89 acres at the intersection of Cross Street and Center Street. This change was requested by Jesse Gunnin for JRG1, LLC. The site, previously planned for commercial use, is unsuitable due to its size, shape, and proximity to a residential street. The council also approved adjustments to reduce buffer requirements, opting for an eight-foot screening fence instead. The decision follows a public hearing where no residents voiced opposition to the proposal.

STORY 2:Canton Author Publishes New Novel

C.S. McKinney, Canton author, has recently launched his latest novel titled "Four-Thirty Girl," which combines romance and mystery genres. Released on July 15, this marks McKinney's fourth novel and sixth publication. The story revolves around Joshua Gladstin, who manages Beehives Bookstore while his colleague, Ms. Debbie, falls ill. As Joshua delves into the mysterious "Four-Thirty Girl" and Ms. Debbie's enigmatic life, he confronts unexpected truths. The novel will soon debut as McKinney's first audiobook, narrated by the author himself. McKinney will also host book signings at various dates and locations, including Jax Coffee Company on July 20, Barrel House Coffee Co. on August 10, and Lazy Labrador Coffee House on August 17.

STORY 3:Food Truck Alley Nights Coming to Holly Springs Train Depot 

Starting July 18, Holly Springs Town Center will host Food Truck Alley Nights at the historic Holly Springs Train Depot on 164 Hickory Road. These events will run from 5 to 8 p.m. on July 18, Aug. 15, Sept. 19, and Oct. 17. The debut event will feature Smash Hit Burgers offering burgers, fries, tots, and gourmet milkshakes, Choate BBQ serving barbecue dishes, and Joe’s Lonestar Tacos offering Tex-Mex street tacos and nachos. Live music by local artist Jason Bowen will accompany the food offerings. Limited seating is available, and guests are encouraged to bring blankets or camping chairs.

STORY 4:Red Sox Select Woodstock Alum Blake Aita in MLB Draft

Blake Aita, a former pitcher from Woodstock High School, was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the sixth round (No. 177 overall) of the MLB draft. Aita, standing at 6-foot-4, played college baseball at Kennesaw State, where he maintained a 3.90 ERA with 84 strikeouts over 85 1/3 innings. His selection continues a streak of at least one Kennesaw State player being drafted in each of the last 16 full drafts. Aita follows fellow Woodstock alum Brennan Milone, drafted in 2022, and joins Caleb Bartolero, a 2023 undrafted free agent. Known for his competitive spirit and pitching versatility, Aita was recognized as the 2021 Cherokee County Pitcher of the Year and achieved notable feats like pitching a no-hitter in a crucial game for Woodstock.

STORY 5:Nonprofit Looks to Provide Temporary Housing For Cherokee’s Homeless Vets

Jim Lindenmayer, director of the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans program, aims to address the crisis facing veterans in Georgia, including Cherokee County, where he believes government housing programs have failed. His program is renovating a building at 111 Faye Drive near Canton into a veterans’ campus, providing temporary housing, food, training, counseling, and administrative services. This initiative follows Lindenmayer’s frustration with federal programs like HUD VASH and SSVF, which he says offer inadequate support in Cherokee County. The program, funded through corporate donations and grants, has aided over 2,000 veterans, including those like Syphonique Robinson and Brian Clauson, who have found stability and support through Lindenmayer’s efforts.
