STORY 1: Woodstock’s Flyin' Wrench Celebrates Reopening

Flyin’ Wrench Motorsports in Woodstock has fully reopened after overcoming significant setbacks. In June 2023, a truck crashed into their building, followed by a windstorm that damaged the roof. Despite these challenges, co-owners Matt Harper and Amanda De Los Reyes, with community support, restored the business. The incidents cost them about $1.2 million, but they chose to preserve the building's structure. Specializing in European car repairs, Flyin’ Wrench celebrated its grand reopening on September 26, expressing gratitude for the community's support and readiness to continue serving Woodstock.

STORY 2: Cherokee County 911 Foundation Celebrates Ribbon Cutting

The Cherokee County 911 Foundation celebrated its formation with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 30 at the Cherokee County Public Safety Facility in Canton. Established on April 12, the nonprofit aims to support and advance Cherokee County E-911 through various programs, including emergency funds, health initiatives, education, and public awareness campaigns. Foundation President Lori Flink highlighted their mission to enhance the 911 center and community. The foundation supports multiple local emergency services and aims to leave a lasting legacy.

STORY 3: Cherokee County Fire Department Mourns Loss of Firefighter

Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services is grieving the unexpected loss of Fire Apparatus Operator Nevin O’Hearn, who passed away on September 28.

His death was unrelated to his firefighting duties. The department expressed deep sorrow and called for support and compassion for his family, friends, and colleagues, honoring his impactful legacy in the community.

STORY 4: Global Nonprofit Hosts Road Cleanup in Woodstock

Volunteers from the international nonprofit Dr. Shri. Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan participated in an Adopt-a-Road cleanup in Woodstock on September 29, collecting eight bags of trash weighing about 120 pounds. This effort aligns with their motto "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (the world is one family) and is part of their ongoing collaboration with the U.S. government to promote cleanliness. Since July 2022, the organization has conducted similar activities in nine Georgia cities, involving 239 volunteers who have collected 2,850 pounds of trash.

STORY 5: CCEMA: No Need to Take Action in Cherokee After BioLab Fire

Cherokee County residents are advised that no action is needed following a chemical fire at the BioLab facility in Conyers, which led to evacuations due to a large smoke plume. The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency issued a local area emergency, with the EPA monitoring air quality for chlorine. Current data suggests no harm to most people, and no harmful compounds have been detected in Cherokee County. Residents are encouraged to report any concerns to the non-emergency number and can follow updates on the CCEMA Facebook page or sign up for CodeRed alerts.
