STORY 1: Canton hears from residents on proposed 28-home neighborhood
The Canton City Council is set to vote Dec. 4 on a proposal to build a 28-home subdivision on Fate Conn Road, but not without some serious pushback from locals.
At a Nov. 6 public hearing, residents raised concerns about traffic, flooding, and the loss of greenspace. Earl Darby didn’t hold back: “We’ve had fatalities on that road... we don’t need more cars until there’s a plan to fix it.” Others echoed worries about stormwater runoff and privacy buffers.
The developer, Legacy Design and Development, says they’ll address runoff with a stormwater system, but specifics? Still TBD.
STORY 2: Retired Cherokee County firefighter dies after cancer battle
Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services is grieving the loss of retired Lt. Dave Burnaugh, who passed away after a relentless fight with cancer.
Burnaugh, who retired in September, was diagnosed in 2022 with a Stage 3 brain tumor and a Stage 1 kidney tumor. Despite the odds, he returned to duty last summer after 10 months, greeted by a hero’s welcome from his CCFES family and beyond.
Known for his faith, humility, and unwavering dedication, Burnaugh mentored countless firefighters during his nearly two decades of service. His legacy? It’s one of compassion, leadership, and love.
STORY 3: Wellstar opens new GI clinic at Cherokee Health Park
Last week, Wellstar Health System and the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce celebrated a big milestone at Cherokee Health Park—the addition of gastroenterology services.
The ribbon-cutting for the new GI Suite took place Nov. 5, though the clinic has been seeing patients since September, with procedures starting in October.
“This expansion is all about bringing expert care closer to home,” said Christine Beam, Wellstar’s executive director of health parks.
The GI team includes Drs. Inder Tandon, Margaret Morrison, and Nidah Khakoo, offering care for everything from liver issues to digestive disorders. Cherokee Health Park just keeps growing—one-stop care, right in Holly Springs.

STORY 5: Woodstock hosting two recycling events on Saturday
Woodstock is hosting not one, but two recycling events this Saturday, Nov. 15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Woodstock City Church (150 Ridgewalk Parkway). It’s a chance to declutter and do some good for the planet—win-win, right?
The “’Tis the Season to Be Green!” event is open to everyone and will take electronics, cardboard, batteries, eyeglasses, and more. Plus, free paper shredding (up to 10 boxes). They’re also collecting gently used items for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
Meanwhile, Woodstock residents can drop off hazardous waste—paint, chemicals, Styrofoam—at a separate area. Registration required at LiveThrive.org/Woodstock.
And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on pesticides
