    Canton to close Brown Park temporarily for tree removal
    Jul 18 2025
    CTL Script/ Top Stories of July 18th Publish Date: July 18th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, July 18th and Happy Birthday to John Glen I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Canton to close Brown Park temporarily for tree removalFossil fuels to remain in Georgia Power energy-supply mixCherokee Chamber CEO appointed to board for statewide association Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on picky toddlers We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: Ingles Markets 5 STORY 1: Canton to close Brown Park temporarily for tree removal Canton will remove a declining scarlet oak tree in Brown Park after an arborist confirmed it poses safety risks due to decay and dieback. Located near a children’s play area, the tree cannot be saved through trimming or treatment. Two other large trees will remain for shade. Brown Park will close for the removal from July 20 to July 24, weather permitting. STORY 2: Fossil fuels to remain in Georgia Power energy-supply mix Georgia’s Public Service Commission approved Georgia Power’s 2025 Integrated Resource Plan, allowing continued coal and gas use alongside expanded renewable energy projects. The plan addresses a projected need for 8,500 megawatts of additional capacity by 2030, driven by growing demand from data centers. Critics argue the plan relies on uncertain projections, neglects energy conservation commitments, and will raise rates while harming the environment. Although base rates are frozen for three years, costs from storm damage and increased capacity may still impact customers. Environmental groups warn of long-term financial and ecological consequences. STORY 3: Cherokee Chamber CEO appointed to board for statewide association Pam Carnes, President and CEO of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, has been appointed to the Board of Directors for the Georgia Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (GACCE) for a one-year term. With over 34 years of involvement in GACCE, including serving as chair in 2005-2006, Carnes credits the organization for significantly shaping her career. The 2025-2026 GACCE Board officially began its term on July 1. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Fred “Bubba” Longgrear, superintendent of Candler County Schools, joins the race alongside Randell E. Trammel, CEO of the Center for Civic Engagement, and Nelva M. Lee, a Locust Grove entrepreneur. Longgrear, the only current public school employee in the race, highlights his 11 years as a superintendent and focuses on safe learning environments, literacy, and career development. Woods has led the state superintendent’s office since 2015. STORY 5: Clean-energy advocate Hubbard poised to win PSC Democratic runoff Clean-energy advocate Peter Hubbard is leading the Democratic runoff for Georgia's Public Service Commission (PSC) District 3 seat, with 58.1% of the vote against former Atlanta City Councilwoman Keisha Sean Waites. If his lead holds, Hubbard will face incumbent Republican Fitz Johnson in November. Hubbard, an advocate for reducing fossil fuel use, aims to address energy costs and environmental health. Waites, a former state representative and councilwoman, has a background in federal government roles. This marks Johnson's first election since his 2021 appointment. The PSC elections, delayed by a lawsuit over voting rights, will also feature a District 2 race between Republican Tim Echols and Democrat Alicia Johnson.

  • Woodstock speech pathologists create books promoting language skills

    Woodstock speech pathologists create books promoting language skills
    Jul 4 2025
    CTL Script/ Top Stories of July 4th Publish Date: July 4th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, July 4th and Happy Birthday to Bill Withers I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Woodstock speech pathologists create books promoting language skillsPSC approves Georgia Power rate freezeHow to be safe in the water this summer Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sodas We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: MILL ON ETOWAH REV GENERIC_FINAL STORY 1: Woodstock speech pathologists create books promoting language skills Woodstock speech-language pathologists Kathy Brunner and Sharilyn Gugliotta are using their expertise to create the *Bughugable* children’s book series, designed to promote speech and language skills. Their first book, *Hope the Butterfly Wants to Go*, focuses on core vocabulary, while their upcoming release, *Hank the Slug Wants to Eat* (out July 14), introduces adjectives and encourages picky eaters. The books include interactive elements to engage young readers. Inspired by their clinical work, the authors aim to empower children with language skills, emphasizing the transformative power of words. STORY 2: PSC approves Georgia Power rate freeze Georgia Power will freeze customer rates for three years under a plan approved by state regulators, delaying base rate increases until 2028. However, the utility can recover storm damage costs, sparking criticism from environmental groups who argue it shifts financial burdens to customers. The plan sets a maximum Return on Equity at 11.9%, despite calls to lower it. Critics also objected to the lack of public hearings, citing transparency concerns. Georgia Power plans to meet growing energy demands, including for data centers, by continuing fossil fuel reliance, with a related vote on generating capacity set for July 15. STORY 3: How to be safe in the water this summer As summer heats up, officials urge water safety, emphasizing life jackets as essential. Chris Purvis of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers highlights that 89% of over 4,000 drowning fatalities since 1998 involved individuals not wearing life jackets, with men aged 18-54 most at risk. The Corps’ “Life Jackets Worn…Nobody Mourns” program targets this demographic. Purvis warns drowning is often silent and quick, debunking movie myths of splashing. Parents are advised against using non-Coast Guard-approved floaties for kids, recommending safer alternatives like Puddle Jumpers. Life jacket loaner stations are available at key Cherokee County locations to promote safety. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.
