STORY 1:Reinhardt University Announces New Master of Fine Arts Degree

Reinhardt University is launching a new Master of Fine Arts in Choreography degree starting this August. The program, led by Program Director Jamie Trial, offers a blend of online coursework and a summer residency on the Waleska campus. It aims to prepare students for careers such as theatre artistic director, dance company manager, or collegiate-level instructor. The curriculum focuses on composition, movement analysis, and performance theory, enhancing students’ artistic vision and teaching philosophies. Unique features include mentorship from the Institute of the Study of Somatic Communication and opportunities to earn an ISSC certification. For more details, visit Reinhardt University’s website.

STORY 2:Woodstock’s Hub Transformation Named Project of Excellence

The City of Woodstock's Hub Transformation Project received the 2024 Project of Excellence award from the American Society of Civil Engineers. Led by Jamie Palmer, Janis Steinbrenner, Brantley Day, and Matt McDow from Arcadis, the project aimed to enhance traffic flow in downtown Woodstock. Key improvements included converting Mill Street to a two-way street, creating a roundabout at Mill Street and Towne Lake Parkway, and adding a left turn lane at Towne Lake Parkway eastbound onto Main Street northbound. These changes alleviate congestion at the Main Street intersection, reducing both delays and accidents. Funding came from a loan and grant by the Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank via the State Road and Tollway Authority.

STORY 3:Cherokee Animal Shelter Offering Free Pet Adoptions

The Cherokee County Animal Shelter is hosting free adoptions on July 2 and 3, aiming to find homes for nearly 200 cats and dogs currently in its care. Director Susan Garcia highlighted that this time of year sees a surge in kitten admissions, with many needing new homes after being fully vetted and weaned. Adoption fees, typically $100, are waived during the event and include vaccinations, spaying/neutering, microchipping, and more. The shelter also offers a fostering program for cats and kittens, requiring applicants to be Cherokee County residents and pass a home inspection. For more details or to apply, visit www.cherokeega-animals.org.

We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

STORY 4:Cherokee County Starting Public Hearings on Property Taxes 

Cherokee County is considering a potential millage rate increase for fiscal year 2025, starting with a series of public hearings. The proposed maintenance and operations millage rate is 5.224 mills, up from 4.954 mills, aiming to increase property tax revenues by 7.45% over the rollback rate. Additional millage rates for fire services and parks bonds are also under review. Public hearings are scheduled for July 2, July 16 (at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.), with final decisions expected on July 16. The meetings will take place at the Cherokee County Administration Building in Canton. Agenda items include rezoning requests and development agreements.

STORY 5:Waleska Man to Serve Five Years in Prison For Terroristic Threats

Christopher Dean Bowling, a Waleska man, has been sentenced to five years in prison for terroristic threats following a conviction by the Cherokee County District Attorney's Office. The sentencing, handed down by Superior Court Judge Shannon Wallace on June 21, represents the maximum penalty under Georgia law for this offense. Bowling was initially investigated by the Cherokee Sheriff's Office after a domestic violence incident on July 28, 2023, where he prevented his partner from leaving and was accused of strangling her in the presence of a child. Despite being found guilty of terroristic threats, Bowling was acquitted of other related charges following a two-day trial.
