Commercial: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) 

STORY 1:   Three Roses Tavern Opens in Historic Canton Restaurant Space 

Three Roses Tavern has opened in downtown Canton, offering a "new American" menu that reflects diverse U.S. cultures. Owned by Salem Makhlouf and Georganne Rose, who also run Local on North, the tavern features a gastropub atmosphere with a menu including steak, burgers, seafood, and more. The venue, formerly R&M Hoagie Shoppe, underwent extensive renovations after closing due to the pandemic. It now boasts two floors with bars, TVs, and historic decor. The tavern aims to elevate Canton's culinary scene and is open daily, with brunch on weekends and outdoor seating planned for summer. 

STORY 2:  Eagle Sculpture in Ball Ground Pays Tribute to Veterans 

Visitors to the Ball Ground Veterans Memorial can now admire a bald eagle sculpture by local artist Andy Fowler, commissioned to honor veterans. Completed for Veterans Day, the sculpture reflects Fowler's family military history, with his father and grandfather having served. The city, valuing local talent, paid $14,000 for the piece using local business donations. Made from clay, syntactic dough, and epoxy fiberglass, the 28-inch sculpture with a five-foot wingspan mimics bronze through electroplating. Fowler, with extensive film industry experience, plans to create a barley sculpture for next year's Veterans Day. 

STORY 3:  Reinhardt AD Jeffrey Pourchier Resigns 

Reinhardt Executive Director of Athletics, Jeffrey Pourchier, has resigned to become the Athletic Director for Development at New College of Florida. Pourchier, who joined Reinhardt in 2007 as the men's basketball coach, served as Athletic Director since 2021. His tenure saw Reinhardt win multiple NAIA National Championships and AAC titles, earning him the 2024 AAC Athletic Director of the Year. Pourchier expressed gratitude for his 18 years at Reinhardt, highlighting the relationships and successes achieved. Under his leadership, the baseball team made a historic run to the NAIA World Series semifinals, finishing third overall.

STORY 4:   A white Christmas in Georgia? Snow chances in Atlanta next week? 

Are there chances for snow in North Georgia this holiday season? Atlanta's Christmas forecast suggests sub-freezing temperatures in north Georgia leading up to the holiday, but dry conditions are expected to persist through Christmas Eve and Day, making a "white Christmas" unlikely. The last significant Christmas snowfall in Georgia was in 2010, with 1-3 inches in metro Atlanta and up to 8 inches in the north Georgia mountains. This was the first measurable Christmas Day snow since 1881, and many Georgians continue to hope for a snowy holiday season. 

 

STORY 5: 4M expected to pass through Atlanta airport during Christmas/NYE holiday period 

If you are traveling this holiday season, be prepared for delays. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport anticipates around 4 million passengers during the Christmas holiday period, with the busiest day expected on December 27, seeing over 327,000 travelers. Nationwide, the TSA plans to screen 40 million passengers by January 2. Travelers are advised to check ATL.com for parking updates and monitor real-time wait times at the airport. TSA Administrator David Pekoske warns of potential longer wait times at security checkpoints if a federal government shutdown occurs.

STORY 4:&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/white-christmas-georgia">A white Christmas in Georgia? Snow chances in Atlanta next week?</a>&nbsp;
Are there chances for snow in North Georgia this holiday season? Atlanta's Christmas forecast suggests sub-freezing temperatures in north Georgia leading up to the holiday, but dry conditions are expected to persist through Christmas Eve and Day, making a "white Christmas" unlikely. The last significant Christmas snowfall in Georgia was in 2010, with 1-3 inches in metro Atlanta and up to 8 inches in the north Georgia mountains. This was the first measurable Christmas Day snow since 1881, and many Georgians continue to hope for a snowy holiday season.&nbsp;

STORY 5: <a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/4m-expected-pass-through-atlanta-airport-during-christmas-nye-holiday-period">4M expected to pass through Atlanta airport during Christmas/NYE holiday period</a>&nbsp;
If you are traveling this holiday season, be prepared for delays. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport anticipates around 4 million passengers during the Christmas holiday period, with the busiest day expected on December 27, seeing over 327,000 travelers. Nationwide, the TSA plans to screen 40 million passengers by January 2. Travelers are advised to check ATL.com for parking updates and monitor real-time wait times at the airport. TSA Administrator David Pekoske warns of potential longer wait times at security checkpoints if a federal government shutdown occurs.&nbsp;

STORY 1:  Cherokee County Asks Lawmakers to Consider Sales Tax Referendum 

Cherokee County commissioners are urging the legislative delegation to propose a Homestead Option Sales Tax (HOST) referendum, aiming for a 1% sales tax to eliminate property taxes for homeowners and fund road improvements. The Board of Commissioners approved a resolution for this, seeking a November 2025 ballot inclusion. The proposed HOST would allocate 75% of proceeds to reduce property taxes and 25% for capital projects, primarily roads. A 10-year sunset clause is suggested, allowing voters to decide on its continuation. The initiative aims to benefit both residents and visitors, with a quick implementation if approved. 

STORY 2:  Etowah Teacher Earns National Career Education Award 

Lt. Col. (Ret.) Stephen Bergey, a career education teacher at Etowah High School, has been recognized as the Region II New Teacher of the Year by the National Association of Career and Technical Education. This award honors outstanding CTE teachers who demonstrate classroom innovation and dedication. Bergey, with a 20-year military and diplomatic background, has led Etowah's JROTC program to numerous accolades, including the 2024 Distinguished Unit Award. He holds multiple advanced degrees and has been elected president-elect of the Georgia Association of Career and Technical Education. 

STORY 3:  Cherokee Schools Announces REACH Georgia Scholars 

The Cherokee County School District is celebrating its new class of REACH Georgia Scholars, a program offering mentorship and college scholarships to promising middle and high school students. This year, four eighth-graders—Sara Chance, Farrah Fascitelli, Fernanda Hernandez, and Leila Morris—were selected. The district held a signing day-style reception to honor them, followed by recognition from the school board and Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis. REACH Scholars who meet program requirements can receive up to $10,000 in scholarships for eligible Georgia universities or technical colleges.

STORY 4:  Cherokee County Theater Programs Earn Honors at Regional Contest 

Cherokee County School District theater programs excelled at regional One Act Play competitions. Etowah High School won the Region 5-6A championship with "Eurydice," while Sequoyah High School won the Region 6-5A championship with "Little Shop of Horrors," also placing third in the 5A state competition. Sequoyah's production will perform at the Georgia Thespian Conference. Both schools received individual honors for acting and technical roles. Cherokee High's Brandon Mears and River Ridge High's Tripp Scurlock earned Best Actor awards in their respective regions, with additional All-Star Cast recognitions for students from both schools. 

STORY 5: Brooke Ice Tapped as Lead Advisor for Cherokee Fire Explorers 

Brooke Ice has been appointed as the new lead advisor for Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services' Explorer program, succeeding Capt. Michael Sims, who led the program for 17 years. Sims, a former Explorer himself, guided the program to numerous successes, including many first-place trophies at competitions and helping over 50 former Explorers pursue careers in public safety. Ice, also a former Explorer, brings extensive experience and passion to her new role, aiming to maintain high standards while introducing new initiatives. Sims will continue to support the program as Committee Chair, ensuring its continued success.

STORY 6: Cherokee Commissioners Approve 85 Townhomes on Bells Ferry 

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning request for an 85-unit townhome development on 10.66 acres at 6355 Bells Ferry Road. The development, by David Pearson Communities, will feature owner-occupied townhomes with two-car garages, a pool, and a clubhouse. The project includes 2.25 acres of open space for a pedestrian path. Initially proposed at 102 units, the plan was revised to 85 units after density concerns. The development will have a density of 7.97 units per acre, aligning with county standards. Despite some local opposition, the project was seen as a responsible use of the property. 

 

STORY 7: Cherokee County School Board Appoints New Chief Academic Officer 

The Cherokee County school board appointed Joshua Heath as the new chief academic officer on December 12. Heath, who joined the district in July as the executive director for accountability, succeeds the previous officer who retired earlier this year. With 12 years of educational experience, Heath is also a CCSD parent and spouse of a district teacher. During the board's work session, he presented reports on student performance in AP, SAT, and ACT exams, as well as the district's performance on the state's CCRPI.
