Historical Society wants old building renovated

The Cherokee County Historical
society and the Cherokee County
School District are firing letters
back and forth to each other concerning the fate of Building B, the
former Canton Grammar School,
built in 1914. The historical society
is afraid the school district will tear
the building down, and the school
district is telling the historical society it doesn’t have the money for
“extraordinary renovation costs,”
such as what it encountered renovating the former Canton High
School (Building C) several years
ago.
The historical society has asked
the district to renovate the old Canton Public School building it owns,
rather than demolish it, so a new facility can be built on the property. It
has also inquired whether the district has an interest in selling the
building and the property it is located on, but has not offered to buy it.
“We’d search high and low to find
a buyer sensitive to historic preser-
vation and help them acquire financial assistance, such as tax credits,”
said Stephanie Joyner, executive director of the historical society. “But
we certainly have not decided at this
time to pursue such a large purchase.”
The school district is not certain
sale of the building is feasible.
Cherokee schools spokesman Mike
McGowan said the district needs
the land Building B stands on, in the
middle of its Central Office complex
in downtown Canton.

Ledger-News’ staff earns 10 GPA awards
FROM STAFF REPORTS
The Cherokee Ledger-News received 10 Georgia Press Association “2009 Better Newspaper Contest” awards, including citations
for local news coverage, investigative reporting and education coverage, at the
organization’s annual
meeting
and
awards banquet, held
on June 5 at Jekyll Is- Holihan
land.
The Ledger-News also was recognized for its editorial pages, editorial columns, photography and
humorous and serious columns
by Fauve Holihan.
The Ledger-News received second place for local news coverage;
third place for its opinion pages;
and second place for its editorial
columns. In addition, the paper
was awarded second place for its
special section “Quest for the
Cure,” about breast cancer awareness published last fall.
Assistant Managing Editor Erika Neldner and staff
writer Carolyn Mathews were individually cited for their investigative reporting.
Neldner was awarded for investigative
pieces on alleged ex- Mathews
cessive force by Woodstock police officers.
“Good look into a possible case
of police abuse,” the judges said.
Mathews was cited for a group
of entries on different subjects,
which included her look into using candy as rewards in the
Cherokee County School District,
Canton’s city finances and how
teachers are screened before employment.
“Good pieces on a variety of
subjects,” the judges said. “It’s
shocking to read about candy being used as a constant reward in
the schools, especially concerning the rising problem of childhood obesity in this
country.”
Mathews also was
awarded first place
for her coverage of Neldner
the Cherokee County
School District, as well as for her
coverage of education in general
in Cherokee County.
“These submitted stories do
much more than just graze the
surface,” the judges wrote. “The
writer does an excellent job of reporting pertinent information.”

The company that owns property
slated for a 390-acre mixed-use development in Woodstock has filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Bill Butler, the public face of Ridgewalk Holdings LLC and the company’s primary investor, would not
comment on the filing beyond confirming it, citing the pending bankruptcy court case.
Known as the “reorganization
bankruptcy,” Chapter 11 allows companies to remain in business, although they are subject to additional
oversight from the court.
Ridgewalk Holdings had an $18
million foreclosure for Ridgewalk
property set to be auctioned on the
Cherokee County Courthouse steps
on June 2. The bankruptcy, filed on
June 1, effectively puts that foreclosure on hold.
The company had the same foreclosure notice printed in the legal organ of Cherokee County in April, but
Butler said that he had been able, at
that time, to come to an agreement
with his lenders. No such agreement
was reached in May.
Butler said in April that the property listed in the foreclosure notice
included 68 of the approximately 200
undeveloped acres he and his partners own in Ridgewalk. That land
has been graded, but sits empty.
The other 190 acres of the development has been built out, and includes
the Alta Ridgewalk Apartments and
the single-family home developments Meridian, Brookshire, Magnolias, Whitfield and Montclair.

An early morning fire in Lake

A 26-year-old Canton man died
June 2 after his motorcycle
crashed in to the guard rail on the
interstate.
Canton police, Canton Fire and
Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services responded to the
accident around 1:30 p.m. on Interstate 575 between Riverstone

and lost control of his motorcycle,
striking the guard rail, said Cpl.
Stacy Bailey, public information
officer for Canton police.
Adames was pronounced dead
at the scene.
Bailey said Adames was wearing a helmet, and the accident reconstruction, which is completed

Waleska’s Pritchard resigns;
special meeting scheduled
The Waleska City Council will
hold a special called meeting at 7
p.m. June 10 at city hall. It will discuss filling the city council seat
formerly held by Roy Pritchard,
who resigned June 3, after a dispute during the June 1 meeting regarding the adopted calendar of
meetings.
Pritchard said he had already
scheduled his calendar around the
approved calendar so he could attend all the meetings.
“It became obvious to me, once
again, that there are council members who have their own agendas,
and I realized Monday night that I
am right in my thinking that way,”
he said. “The city adopts an official calendar in January by which
we operate, but, all of a sudden,
the mayor (Doris Jones) recommends that a scheduled meeting
be changed for one council member over another, and there was no
obvious reason for that to be
done.”
Discussion of the budget was set
for June 15 and each council member had a copy, Pritchard said. The
meeting for budget approval, however, was moved to June 22. The
council also will review and appoint downtown development authority members at the called
June 10 meeting.

Cherokee scores on graduation test lead metro area
BY CAROLYN MATHEWS
carolynmathews@ledgernews.com
Results were released June 1 by
the state of Georgia showing that
Cherokee County 11th-graders
had the highest scores on state
tests designed to measure graduation readiness of all students in
the metro area.
Cherokee’s regular program
students taking Georgia High
School Graduation Tests (GHSGT)
for the first time had a 99 percent
pass rate in mathematics and a 98
percent pass rate in language arts,
social studies and science.
Students must pass all sections
of the test to gain a high-school
diploma.
When all Cherokee test-takers
were factored in, including special
education and limited English
proficiency students, 94 percent of
all students passed on the first attempt in all subject areas.
“Cherokee County School District tested 1,880 students, and we were
the third highestscoring of all Georgia’s 184 local school
districts,” said Superintendent Dr. Frank
Petruzielo. “The two
systems ahead of us Petruzielo
are small systems
testing 80-100 students.”
Statewide, only 80 percent of
students passed all four tests on
the first attempt, although scores
rose from last year in all subject ar-
eas.
Cherokee students were up on
all sections of the test. Regular education students were up 2 percent
in language arts, 1 percent in
mathematics, 4 percent in social
studies and 3 percent in science.
“Improvement was shown in all
four subjects for all students even
as the more rigorous Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) are
phased in to the assessments,”
Petruzielo said.
Behind Cherokee’s No. 3 ranking on first-time passage of the
GHSGT was Forsyth, which
ranked fourth; Fayette, which
ranked fifth; Gwinnett, which
ranked 17th; Fulton, which ranked
24th; Cobb, which ranked 29th and
Rockdale, which ranked 35th.

Canton denies annexation of land subject to a condemnation lawsuit
BY CONSTANCE COOPER
constancecooper@ledgernews.com
The Canton City Council has
voted unanimously to deny an
annexation that would have given the city property it needs to
complete the Hickory Log Creek
Reservoir.
A month ago, the Canton Planning and Zoning Commission
voiced their opposition to the annexation, which lies outside the
city and county’s agreed-upon
growth boundary line, in a unanimous vote to recommend denial.
Ward 1 Councilwoman Pat Tanner cited that recommendation
when she made the motion to deny the request.
The 101-acre parcel is owned by
brothers Paul Crafton, Tyler
Crafton and Scott Crafton. Twenty-five acres of the land is the
subject of a condemnation lawsuit brought by the city and its
partner in the reservoir, the Cobb
County Marietta Water Authority (CCMWA). Canton and the
CCMWA are attempting to get
mitigation easements required
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by condemning 25 of the
brothers’ 101 acres.
Because the construction of
the reservoir necessarily destroys some wildlife habitat, the
Corps requires the city and the
CCMWA to obtain mitigation
easements to offset the environmental impact.
On Nov. 3, attorneys for Canton
and the CCMWA reached a nonbinding settlement with the
Craftons in the condemnation
lawsuit. One of the conditions of
this settlement was that the
brothers’ 101 acres be annexed in-

However, now that the annexation and rezoning of the property
has been denied, that settlement

Scot Jacobsen, of Holt, Ney Zatcoff and Wasserman, said.
“Since (the annexation and
zoning) wasn’t approved, I guess
you could say we don’t have a settlement at the current time,” Jacobsen said.
City Attorney Billy Hasty said
that Canton is considering how it
will move forward.
“The city will do one of two
things; they’ll either look for additional mitigation property in
lieu of that property, or we’ll just
go forward and resolve it in a settlement or trial,” Hasty said.

Senior living facility could be coming to Madison Pointe
BY CONSTANCE COOPER
constancecooper@ledgernews.com
A new, affordable senior living
apartment complex is in the works
for Woodstock’s Madison Pointe
mixed-use development.
On May 18, the Woodstock City
Council voted 5-0 to approve
changing the zoning of 5.4 acres
near the intersection of Towne
Lake Parkway and Stonebridge
Drive from townhomes to senior
living.
Savannah-based apartment developer NorSouth, which specializes in affordable and senior apartments, will build the complex,
which it plans to call Heritage at
Madison Pointe. This 99-unit development will target seniors living on limited incomes, with rents
for a one-bedroom apartment
starting around $540 per month,
NorSouth Development Operations Director Jervon Harris said.
Eighty percent of the complex will
be income-adjusted, with 15 units
priced for seniors with annual incomes of between $18,840 and
$28,700 and 66 units priced for seniors who live on $21,840 to $34,440
per year.
The facility will target seniors
over the age of 65 who can live independently and will include picnic and garden areas, a club room
and a wellness center, Parks Huff,
the developer’s attorney said at
the May 18 meeting.
The development, which is being marketed to the aging parents
of Towne Lake residents, also garnered unanimous support from
Woodstock’s Planning and Zoning
Commission on May 6.
NorSouth plans to use ecofriendly, energy efficient design
for Heritage at Madison Pointe
and will pursue EarthCraft certification for the complex, according
to documents the developer submitted to the city.
Mayor Donnie Henriques spoke
highly of the proposed project.
“It’s the perfect fit,” he said. “It

• approve the second reading of a
modification to the city’s alcohol
ordinance that removes the requirement for restaurants serving
alcohol on a patio to have their outdoor serving area accessible only
by walking through the restaurant. Senior Planner Brian Stockton said that the change brings
Woodstock in line with state law
and the recommendation of the
state fire marshal;
• reimburse Butler Properties
$460,695 for sewer improvements
in the Ridgewalk community. Half
of the reimbursement will be given in tap fee credits, and the other
half will be given in cash;
• approve a list of projects to be
funded by the proposed $2.5 million stormwater bond;
• approve Ward 5 Councilman
Bud Leonard’s appointment of
Perry Tanner to fill the Ward 5 position on the Downtown Development Authority;
• approve financing $123,387 to
purchase printers for the City Hall
Annex; and
• approve spending $16,800 per
year for a printer maintenance
agreement with DocuTeam.
The city council also:
• directed city staff to allow the
Cherokee County Historical Society to catalog and restore historical items from the Magnolia
Thomas House. After restoration,
some of those items will go on display a Magnolia Thomas Restaurant and some will be put in storage; and
• discussed the city’s irrigation
meter policy. City Manager Jeff
Moon thinks that it would be a
good idea to adopt the county’s policy of charging more for irrigation
meters than for regular water meters, but not charging sewer fees.
ing out of there as say townhomes
or an apartment complex.”
The townhome complex, the Enclave at Madison Pointe, was originally set for the location. However, after the developer graded the
site, paved it and installed utilities,
the project disintegrated in a weak
housing market.
“It’s a product that didn’t work,”
Harris said of the jettisoned townhome development. “You’re basically taking a blighted site and developing a project that’s feasible.”
The developer hopes to use federal and state low-income housing
tax credits to finance the project.
NorSouth is applying for tax
credits administered to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). These credits are
awarded through a competitive application process to developments
that reserve all or a portion of
their units for low-income tenants,
according to the DCA’s Web site.
Harris said that if NorSouth is
awarded the tax credits, it will sell
them on the credit market to help
fund Heritage at Madison Pointe.
Huff urged the city council to
support these credits, pointing out
that three developments given a
senior living zoning in Woodstock
have stalled for more than a year
because of a lack of financing.
The Woodstock City Council voted 5-0 to sign a resolution of support for the tax credits, which the
developer said will strengthen
NorSouth’s tax credit application
to the DCA.
Ward 4 Councilwoman Tracy
Collins was absent.
In other business, the city council voted 5-0 to:
• add $150,000 to the city budget
to fund the Taylor Randahl Memorial Bike Trail through Olde Rope
Mill Park;
• approve an emergency ordinance extending the moratorium
on apartment applications north
of Towne Lake Parkway and west
of Interstate 575 and also approved

extending the moratorium. The

Two rabies cases confirmed
BY ERIKA NELDNER
erikaneldner@ledgernews.com
Two positive reports of rabies in
Cherokee County were confirmed
last week, and a Cherokee woman
is being treated for possible rabies
exposure,
Glendon Gordy of the Cherokee
County Environmental Health Office said a rabid raccoon attacked
two puppies May 31 in a homeowner’s yard on Cherrydale Lane.
“The puppies were not vaccinated at the time of the incident,” said
Gordy. “As a result, a six-month
quarantine will be instituted.”
The dogs’ owner killed the raccoon, but he was not exposed.
Earlier this year, the first case of
rabies involving a raccoon was
confirmed. It happened in the Fox
Hills subdivision on Ga. 20, just
west of Canton.
On June 4, the state lab confirmed that a fox that attacked a pet
dog in the Lake Sovereign subdivision June. 3. That dog was up-todate on its rabies vaccination and
will undergo a 45-day quarantine
at home, officials said.
In another incident, a local
woman is being treated after she
used her bare hands to take five baby bats to a wildlife rescue facility.
“She was then informed by the
wildlife agent about possible rabies exposure, so she contacted our
office,” Gordy said. “The woman is
currently receiving treatment for
post exposure.”
County health officials urge people not to touch wild animals and
to keep their pets and livestock vaccinated against rabies.
If someone is scratched or bitten
by a wild animal, the wound
should be washed with soap and

they should seek medical attention
immediately and report the incident to the Cherokee County Environmental Health Office at (770)
479-0444. Health officials will need
the following information: the geographic location of the incident;
the type of animal involved; if it
was provoked or unprovoked contact; the vaccination status of pets
involved; and whether or not the
aggressive animal can be safely
captured and tested for rabies.

The true impact of impact fees
CHEROKEE VOICE
■
ISSUE: Cherokee County schools celebrated graduation last week. QUESTION:
What are good career choices for high school graduates in today's economy?

I
n theory, the concept of impact
fees is pretty simple: For the privilege of making a profit by building homes and businesses, a developer pays a prescribed amount of
money to the local government to
offset the impact of their development on local services, such as sewer and water, police and fire, and
traffic and road maintenance.
Of course, it would seem logical
to include the impact on the school
system from hundreds of new families moving in and bringing hundreds of new students, but Georgia
law prohibits assessing impact fees
for schools. Go figure.
However, as cut-and-dried as the
impact fees idea seems, when you
throw money, elected officials,
builders and developers, and
growth and development into the
mix … the clear waters of simplicity get very murky very quickly.
A good example is the story of
Canton’s Reservoir Drive project, a
deal structured with enough financial shuffling of funds to make a
hedge-fund manager envious.
Basically, someone wanted a
road cutting across Hickory Log
Creek Reservoir, so the city came
up with the idea of taking $2.5 million, pooling it with two developers
and the First Baptist Church of
Canton, all of whom stood to benefit from the new road.
In a perfect world, that would
have been the end of it: A simple
deal wherein the parties involved
share the costs and the city ends up
with a new road.
But, in the less-than-perfect
world of Canton, the city decided to
get one of the developers to put up
the city’s end of the cost, to be paid
back later, through the use of impact fee funds.
Then the mayor left office, and
everyone forgot to tell the new mayor about the arrangement to pay
back more than $1 million. The
new mayor found out nine months
later, when the developer came calling for the balance of the money
that was supposed to be paid off in
monthly installments. Oopsie.
The new mayor flirted with the
idea of not paying the money, based
on the grounds that the deal violated the city’s rules for entering into
multi-year contracts. But, after
consulting with the city attorney,
the new mayor decided to pony up
the money.
Although this sounds barely
kosher, apparently the deal lies
within the bounds of Georgia law
governing impact fees, which says
that local governments have few, if
any, restrictions on the types of
agreements they can enter into
with developers to fund system improvements using impact fees.
While that makes sense – impact
fees are, after all, money collected
to improve the infrastructure and
services to meet the demand of the
new impact – it seems a little vague.
What, for example, stops a city
from giving a builder who is also an
excellent poker
player $1 million and sending him to Vegas with the
purpose of him
returning
home to build a
road with the
winnings?
Granted, that
example is a little extreme, but
DIALOGUE
it isn’t difficult
to look at some

of the schemes
Yandel
involving impact
fees
■

■
around
the
state – and see
plenty of other
strange examples … like the deal in
Canton.
The most egregious part of that
deal is that, after the city put up a
chunk of its impact fees money for
the road, anything left over from
that was to be divvied up among the
developers and the church. In fact,
I suspect that whole deal of the developer fronting the money for the
city to pay back later is somehow
tied to getting the developers and
the church an even larger slice of
Canton’s impact fees pie.
If that isn’t illegal, it sure should
be. While an argument can be made
that impact fee money is not technically taxpayer money, because it
comes from impact fees, not taxes,
it is still money that belongs to us,
meaning we, the taxpayers.
The money is supposed to be
used for our benefit, not to enrich
churches and developers. Any
money that was left over from the
Canton deal – the difference,
roughly, of $2.5 million for Canton’s $2.17 million portion of the
road (if not triple that amount, as I
suspect), should be returned to the
city coffers for road maintenance
and improvements.
The whole idea of impact fees in
Georgia needs to be revisited …
and reformed.
Local governments should have
tighter restrictions on exactly
which system improvements they
can spend impact fees. And, they
should be more restricted in what
kind of financial deals they can enter into when using those fees.
Specifically, O.C.G.A. 36-71-13, the
subsection that removes pretty
much any prohibition on the use of
impact fees for system improvements in agreements between local
governments and developers needs
to be revisited.
Equally as important, impact
fees should be allowed to benefit
our schools, which suffer some of
the largest and most visible impact
(can you say hundreds of trailer
classrooms in Cherokee County?)
from developers building massive
subdivisions.
The whole story of Reservoir
Drive should serve as a cautionary
tale for our county commissioners,
who are currently discussing a
waiver of most county impact fees
in an effort to spur commercial development and create jobs.
But, as Canton illustrated, impact fees can be convoluted and
tricky things, and even something
as simple as a temporary suspension of them could turn around
and bite us.
Ideally, such a waiver would not
affect residential developments,
which have a proportionally larger
impact on services and infrastructure just by their nature of being
multiple units intended to bring
multiple families into the area.
Such an exclusion is probably
not legally possible without being
discriminatory, and suspending
impact fees could likely lead to a
rush on residential building permits being submitted without any
financial offset for the impact they
might bring.
I urge our commissioners to proceed with caution and thoroughly
examine the idea before allowing
an impact fees moratorium.
And let us not forget that impact
fees are for a specific purpose …
and that is not as an extra bank account to pass out to friends.

Need for interchange is justified
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to Gerry
Yandel’s editorial (“Our GDOT
funds need rerouting”) in the June
3 Cherokee Ledger-News. With all
due respect, I could not disagree
more with the editorial.
I think Mr. Yandel completely
misses the point of why the interchange is such an important project for Woodstock (according to
GDOT’s own records, the project
file was started in 1976). While I understand that this is his opinion,
when a newspaper editor writes
something like this, it should be
from an informed position.
The interchange was not being
constructed for The Avenue or any
other retail development. The primary justification for the inter-
change was to relieve the Towne
Lake interchange and the Sixes
Road interchange. That need is still
present today as much as ever. Retail development is the “bonus”
that will follow this critical infrastructure need being addressed.
GDOT’s own reports show that
the Ridgewalk interchange will reduce traffic at the Towne Lake interchange by over 30 percent. I
don’t know if Mr. Yandel has seen
the Towne Lake interchange during rush hour, but I am sure anyone
who uses the interchange on a daily basis would take exception to his
editorial.
Of the over 30 percent reduction
at the Towne Lake interchange, a
large majority of these are Woodstock residents who live in Brookshire, Alta Ridgewalk, Whitfield at
Ridgewalk and Magnolias at
Ridgewalk and county/Holly
Springs residents who live off of
East Cherokee Drive. This does not
even include the relief that the residents of Deer Run, Eagle Watch,
Towne Lake Hills and others will
see with the new interchange. I am
sure they will all also take exception to the editorial. They see the
need each and every day for relief
for the two current interchanges.
Widening Ga. 140 and 20 are
much-needed projects as well. I
agree that they need to be done. I
don’t, however, think that they
should be done to the detriment of
Woodstock and South Cherokee
residents.

We need stability in times of crisis
Dear Editor,
Recent letters by Chuck Hillegass and Kirk Harrington (May 20)
raise interesting economic and policy issues. Both authors express
concern about “socialized medicine.”
The CIA’s World Fact Book and
World Bank Web data show that
medical outcomes in the United
States rank in the 40s. More than 40
countries have lower infant mortalities and higher life expectancies. We spend half-again more
than any country does on medical
care. While some of these countries have socialized medicine, others, like Australia, have universal
medical care provided largely
through private means.
The standard conservative economists’ belief in the importance of
balanced budgets is not that all government should balance budgets
every year; rather budgets should
balance over the business cycle.
When unemployment rises in the
private sector, government tax revenue falls. If governments respond
by laying-off workers to balance
their budgets, the private sector
loses more sales and more jobs. So,
the economy spirals downward.
Governments should run surpluses in good years and deficits in
poor years. Those deficits boost the
economy back into balance by raising
employment.
Balanced
economies matter more than yearto-year balanced budgets. Businesses use debt for growth and stability; so should governments.
Readers may also want to check
the Web for the federal debt to
Gross Domestic Product ratio
since WWII. All Democratic, and
all but two Republican, administrations, have followed the principles of reducing debt, except,
sometimes, in recessions. Unfortunately, George W. Bush’s extravagant spending has created so much
debt that it impairs Obama’s conventional economic solution to
this economic downturn.
We economists are inclined to believe that markets can solve all ills.
But, the evidence of the last two
centuries shows that recessions
were deeper, longer, harsher on human well-being, and had greater
long-term harmful effects on the
economy in general when the government did not act to bring stability in times of crisis.

Honoring abortion doctor is wrong
Dear Editor,
The morning of May 31, a man
named George Tiller was shot and
killed while serving as an usher in
his church in Wichita, Kansas.
He was no ordinary man, but a
well-known abortionist, whose
fame was made by operating one of
only three abortion clinics in the
United States that kills unborn babies over 21 weeks in gestation, unlawful in a majority of the states.
This particular abortionist had
terminated more than 60,000 pregnancies in his career. However, he
is being hailed as a hero to women,
an icon of the “freedom of choice”
and a virtuous public servant.
Even President Obama issued a response of “shock and outrage”
over Tiller's death. How ironic,
even schizophrenic.
I genuinely pity Tiller's family as
they grieve his death and in no way
condone the vigilante approach
that his killer took in standing up
for the unborn, but, was Tiller a
champion? Absolutely not.
I am amazed that the mainstream media can paint Tiller's life
as one of service to mankind,
while, at the same time, deride our
own military personnel who have
been accused of violating the human rights of detainees at Guantanamo bay through the alleged
torture of known or suspected terrorists.
In fact, our president, who was also outraged by rumors of Guantanamo violations, declared that
we must “uphold the American
standard of moral integrity” in
our treatment of the prisoners.
I ask, how can a man who has
personally murdered more than
60,000 innocent unborn Americans
be called a hero, while our servicemen and women who are sworn to
protect and defend the American
people are accused as criminals?
The human rights of known international terrorists are being
guarded with vigilance. But across
our nation, the defenseless unborn
are abandoned to killers who can
now legally murder an innocent
human child up until the time of
full-term delivery.
President Obama, during his
campaign, emphatically promised,
“The first thing I'd do as president
is sign the Freedom of Choice Act.
That's the first thing that I'd do.”
The Freedom of Choice Act is a
sweeping bill that would abolish all
pro-life restrictions on abortion,
including the reversal of the ban
on partial-birth abortion. Tiller
regularly aborted babies by the
partial-birth method and was
charged with 19 violations of
Kansas law restricting such practices.
Our Constitution guarantees all
citizens the right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. More
than 60,000 unborn citizens had
their rights and lives taken away by
a man who is now being called a
“kind and compassionate” doctor.
True pro-life supporters know
that murdering the murderer is
not the answer, but, as long as the
laws of this land protect the criminals and leave vulnerable the innocent, we will see more and more
vigilante efforts to turn the upsidedown right-side-up again.
God have mercy on America, and
stop the insanity.

Don’t mis-label anti-Obama critics
Dear Editor,
I think there is a lot of confusion
about what has people so upset. I
see people like myself who criticize President Obama's policies immediately labeled as sore losers,
right-wingers, neocons and racists
without even hearing the argument. It seems those who voted for
him are taking it personally, when
in fact it's just a matter of policy.
What I have seen so far is a blatant disregard for important campaign promises, such as transparency, fiscal responsibility, no
lobbyists or special interests in the
administration, and no earmarks.
At the same time, the president
publicly mocks and scoffs at those
who speak out, rather than offering thoughtful consideration of
their views.
The fact is, most of us who are so
critical were not big Bush supporters; many were far from being
card-carrying Republicans (I have
only voted one straight party ticket
in my 43 years). Yes, lots of us voted
reluctantly for McCain, but he was
not our first choice because his
policies were so much like those of
Bush.
During the campaign, I read
what the candidates had written
and listened to speeches they gave
to ascertain their real beliefs and
policies. Both included statements
that made me cringe, though Obama's made me shudder. I can only
speak for myself, but who cares
who won? I am speaking out, because I feel a genuine fear our country is heading in a direction that
has us rapidly losing our personal
freedoms and choices and making
us more dependent on the government for everything, from food to
jobs to transportation to health
care to education.
Those criticizing Obama are
simply trying to preserve the Con-
stitution, capitalism and free enterprise, and the principles that
made this country great. It transcends party loyalty or the “he
said, she said” mentality. It is just a
gut need to stand up for what we believe is worth preserving, and it results from decades of wrongful
leadership. Obama is just the straw
to break the metaphorical camel's
back. McCain likely would have
been the same.
No one president or small group
deserves the right to “re-make”
America. The votes of the American people entitle the president only to serve as a steward of our great
land, keep us safe from tyranny,
and preserve the freedoms outlined in our Constitution. To do
otherwise is to overstep their
bounds, and no freedom loving
American should stand for it.

• Now, apparently, the car warranty people have people’s addresses, and they’re mailing letters that look like they’re being

• To the person who ripped on
the people who call in to the Soapbox: Which one are you, a moron
or an idiot?
• That $250 that Obama’s going
to send out, I think that’s to pay
off the people who voted for him.
I didn’t vote for him, but I’ll still
take the $250. That beats nothing
at all. He’s giving all the money
away anyway, so you better get
what you can get.
• If you’re avoiding my business because of the Hummer I
drive, then that tells me you’re
probably not the type of customer I want anyway.
• Please appeal your Cherokee
County property taxes. We only

• Because of Barack Obama

• I agree 100 percent with “bypass the bus” idea. I think it’s a
wonderful idea, and I’m all for it.
How do we get it started?
• I do not live close or know any
of the city or county officers.
When we have need to call them,
they are here in good time. People

• Lake Arrowhead is not inside

• I am so happy my federal tax
money is being used for something beneficial, like covering the
warranty on my new pickup
truck. Thank you, President Obama.
• I said if my pets start oinking,
not winking. You made it sound
dumb. If my pets start oinking,
does that mean they have swine

• At a time when our soldiers
are making the ultimate sacrifice
for our freedoms, anyone who

childish freeloader.
• Hey city of Canton, if you
don’t know where Heritage Park
is, you need to find out. There’s a
lot of bad things going on down
there, and people that shouldn’t
be down there are down there. I
have yet to see a Canton police officer there.
• I haven’t received my $250
check yet, however, if and when I
do, I want to let everybody know
I’m going to send it right straight
to the Republican Party.
• Maybe my small business
needs a Hummer in order to do
the work that I do. I’m going to go
from an H2 to an H3. Quit being
jealous.
• The motto of the Republican
Party and its right-wing sheeplike followers should be There is
no team in I.
• Might could? Let’s hope the
Cherokee County schools hire
some part-time teachers back so
they might could teach some
grammar.
• There are 32 sports at Woodstock High School. Thirty-two divided by two means that each

got two pages.
• Hey, Petruzielo, I was wondering if you were letting the para-
pros go because you are going to
be in the classroom helping out us
kindergarten teachers, especially during the first week of school.
• The Cherokee County Commission has once again chosen to
prevent jobs from coming to
Cherokee County and prevent
home values from increasing because of a few anti-growth people.
• I have a question for all you anti-tax ninnies who think the answer to everything is to cut taxes:
Are you gonna haul your butts
out to fix our roads, build our sewers and police our streets?
• Obama should bail-out the albino squirrels, and Iowa should
allow them to marry.
• If Canton’s ex-mayor had
such great foresight that everyone seems to think he does, why
did he not foresee the bottleneck

• To the people saying that
Michael Vick deserves a second

get a second chance.
• I’m an Army wife. Be thankful
you can sit down and spend time
with your loved ones.
• I’m sure I’m not the only one
who believes this, but Cherokee
County has messed up Sugar Pike
Road a lot worse than it was before.
• Will Donnie change his name
to Lee Majors now that he’s the $6
million man?
• First the developers hire
mostly illegal aliens to build their
homes, then they turn Cherokee
County into a bedroom community by building only homes, then
they turn around and sue us.
• You can’t counter liberal propaganda with right-wing propaganda; the truth is somewhere in
the middle. And, there is no such
thing as moderate propaganda.
• Fifty-six minutes was all you
had to wait? We live on Palm
Street. Try four hours of traffic.
They wouldn’t even let me get into my driveway.
• The reason the Bush-bashing
is so loud long-lived is that we, as
a country, will be changed forever
as we deal with the problems his
regime left us with. The Bush Administration was an abomination of everything that makes
this country great. Obama’s solutions may not be the ones you
want, but they’re sure better than
the ones you provided.
• If the citizens of Waleska

Cecil Pruett in as mayor. Then
they’ll get a library, a YMCA, a

• You say Comcast; I say Comcan’t.
• Tell the person who needs groceries to go to Timothy Lutheran
Church or St. Michael Catholic
Church on Arnold Mill Road.
They will help them get some
food.
• I attended two graduation ceremonies at Kennesaw State University and was surprised there
was no devotion at either of
them.
• If you have an albino squirrel

should check your garden. I think
it also got into your marijuana
crop.

LAW & ORDER

• Cherokee County sheriff’s
deputies arrested three people at a home on Dupree
Road in Woodstock after responding to a heroin overdose call May 29. Deputies arrived to find a white male unconscious in the bathroom, the
report said. The man was found
to have fresh track marks on his
arms from using heroin, the report said. The deputy spoke
with another man on scene who
first denied any knowledge of
heroin use. That man had a
flushed face, was shaking and
had track marks on his arms and
hands, the report said. The man
eventually admitted to taking
the heroin paraphernalia out of
the bathroom, the report said.
He led police to other used
heroin items located in a dresser drawer, the report said. The
deputy also spoke with a female who allegedly was involved and also had track marks
on her arms, the report said.
She denied any knowledge of
what was going on. Michael
Scott Castleberry, 33, of Woodstock, was arrested and charged
with possession of heroin and
felony tampering with evidence, the report said. Heather
Smith Grindle, 20, of Canton,
was arrested and charged with
misdemeanor obstruction of an
officer, the report said. The man
found unconscious, Kevin Frank
Tibbetts, 29, of Marietta, was
taken to WellStar Kennestone
Hospital by Cherokee County
Fire and Emergency Services,
the report said. Deputies were
expected to secure a warrant
for possession of heroin for Tibbetts, the report said.
• Cherokee County sheriff’s
deputies responded to a burglary on Riverchase Drive
May 27. The homeowner said
someone broke into his home
between 9:30 a.m. and 8 p.m.
and stole several items. There
were pry marks on the door on
the ground level of the home,
and the window near the
garage was open, the report
said. Items stolen include a TV,
Blu Ray player, a laptop, coins,
tools and other electronics, the
report said. The estimated value
of the items stolen is about
$5,300, the report said.
• A Woodstock woman contacted the Cherokee County
Sheriff’s Office May 27 in
reference to her River Forest
Lane home being burglarized. She said someone entered
the home between 8 a.m. and 6
p.m. and stole items from her
house. Items stolen include jewelry, firearms, a car amplifier
and a laptop, the report said.
The estimated value of the
items stolen is about $2,000, the
report said. No arrests were
made at the time of the report.
• Canton police arrested two
people on pimping and prostitution charges June 2 after
receiving information from
a neighbor. Police responded
to a home on Academy Street
just before 1:30 a.m. The officer
spoke with the driver of a car
with Clayton County tags, who
said she was there to pick up a
friend. There were two males in
the back seat of the car. The officer was walking back to his vehicle when he saw a woman
walk out of the house and begin to walk up the street, the
report said. He called her over
to his vehicle. The woman denied knowing the driver of the
car at first, but then said they
knew each other from high
school, the report said. The
woman allegedly gave consent
to search her purse, and the officer found suspected marijuana
and drug paraphernalia, the report said. The driver of the vehicle said she did not drop the
woman off at the home, but
witnesses told police they saw
the car drop off the woman,
leave for a little bit and then
come back, the report said. The
driver, Samantha Kathleen Ford,
20, of Griffin, was arrested and
charged with pimping, the report said. The other woman,
Heather Marie Kinsey, 23, of
Powder Springs, was arrested
and charged with prostitution,
the report said. Both charges
are misdemeanors.
• Canton police responded to
burglary with forced entry
May 31 at a home of Hillcrest Cross Road. The victim
said she and her son left the
house to go a barbecue, and a
friend of her juvenile son called
and informed them about three
suspects who were sitting in the
driveway. The garage door was
opened. The victim told police,
after they returned home, that
a desktop computer, an iPod
and $300 were stolen from the
home, the report said. The estimated value of the items stolen
is about $3,500, the report said.
No arrests were made at the
time of the report.

RIDGEWALK: Bankruptcy won’t affect interchange plan
FROM PAGE 1
Woodstock City Manager Jeff
Moon said that he does not expect
the bankruptcy to affect the proposed Rope Mill Road interchange, which will be used to access Ridgewalk.
The Georgia Department of
Transportation is expected to pay
$24 million for the diamondshaped interchange, which is intended to both alleviate traffic and
spur economic development, with
Woodstock contributing up to $3.5
million.
“I don’t think their filing for
Chapter 11 will have an impact on
the interchange at this point,”
Moon said in an e-mail. “The need
for the interchange is warranted
even without future commercial
development on the site, given the
congestion at the Towne Lake interchange.”
District 6 Georgia Department
CONSTANCE COOPER | LEDGER-NEWS
About 100 acres of the Ridgewalk development was leveled and graded
for Cousins Properties’ The Avenue shopping complex and other retail
and residential developments in 2007. The property now sits empty, and
Bill Butler’s Ridgewalk Holdings LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection June 1.
of Transportation Board Member
Brandon Beach agreed that the
Chapter 11 filing “has no impact”
on the interchange project.
“We’re hoping to have some dirt
moving first of the year,” Beach
said. “Hopefully before that, November or December, but at the latest January.”
Atlanta’s Cousins Properties
had been slated to build a 500,000square-foot The Avenue shopping
center in Ridgewalk, but recently
scrapped those plans and instead
is partnering with Horizon Group
Properties, of Rosemont, Ill., on a
potential outlet mall for the site.
In an interview five days before
the bankruptcy, Horizon Group
CEO Gary Skoien said that his
company is currently marketing a
350,000- to 400,000-square-foot facility to retailers. Although the
Horizon Group has not yet signed
any leases with tenant stores,
Skoien said that “a lot of (potential) tenants have indicated an interest.”
Skoien did not return calls for
comment on the bankruptcy filing, nor did Cousins Properties’
representatives return calls.
Atlanta-based Oxford Properties is in talks with Ridgewalk
Holdings to build the 340-unit
apartment complex that Wood
Partners, the developer that built
Alta Ridgewalk, was originally
slated to construct.
Wood Partners pulled out of the
project in late 2008 when their financing – which was through Citigroup – fell through.
Oxford Properties Developer
Bill Hargett said that his company
is currently doing a market study
to determine whether it can get
Federal Housing Administration
financing to build the apartments.
Hargett said the market study is
the first step in determining
whether his company is interested in building the apartments and
that Oxford Properties will finish
the study despite the Chapter 11
filing.

Supreme Court judge speaks to
Blue Ridge Bar Association
BY CAROLYN MATHEWS
carolynmathews@ledgernews.com
The Honorable Harold Melton,
Georgia Supreme Court Justice,
addressed 115 people who attended the Blue Ridge Bar Association meeting in Canton June 3,
but he would not comment on
what he called the “elephant
with pink lipstick in the room.”
The situation he was referring
to in front of the judicial bench
and bar of the Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit, made up solely of
Cherokee County, is the fact that
Gov. Sonny Perdue is considering slashing state spending by 25
percent across the board in state
agencies, including the state
courts, to balance the budget, as
is constitutionally required.
The controversy, explained
Blue Ridge Superior Court
Judge Frank C. Mills III, is that it
also is unconstitutional to cut
sitting judge’s salaries, which
would most likely be necessary
under a 25 percent cut.
On June 5, the 202-member
Council of Superior Court
judges discussed if it would ask
retiring Chief Justice Leah
Ward Sears to sue Perdue over
the proposed cuts.
Incoming Chief Justice Carol
Hunstein will take over Sears
spot because of seniority in July,
and there is currently a vacancy
on the state Supreme Court
bench.
“How likely is litigation,”
Melton said, “I don’t know. But
it’s going to be hard to find
judges, and I want to be one. I
don’t want to discuss the issue,
let’s just say it makes my tummy
hurt.”
Perdue appointed Melton, 42,
to the Georgia Supreme Court on
July 1, 2005. Prior to joining the
court, Melton served as the Executive Counsel to Gov. Perdue,
representing the governor on legal issues covering the entire
scope of state government. Before serving as Executive Counsel, Justice Melton spent 11
years in the Georgia Department of Law as Section Leader
over the Consumer Interests Division.
Mills explained that the problem is that constitutionally, two
statutes are colliding.
“The state is in a world of hurt
budget-wise,” he said. “If you
cut the judiciary budget by 25
percent, you’ll probably be cut-
ting into judges’ salaries, which
also is in violation of the Constitution. Our staffs would be furloughed and the courts would
have to close down. We can’t do
any work without our staff.”
At press time, the judges and
the governor had reached a compromise, avoiding a lawsuit, that
allows a chunk of the 25 percent
cut to be deferred until next fiscal year.
There is the Constitutional notion for separation of powers,”
he explained. “Some in the judicial branch feel that the executive branch of government, Gov. Perdue, is overstepping
its bounds in micromanaging the court
budget by dictating
how every penny is
spent.”
Mills said the Legislature sets the Melton
budget and that a
court case that would emphasize
the checks and balances between
the three branches of government could be a valid and good
interplay that protects everyone.
“If one branch got too powerful, it would be a bad thing,” he
said.
Melton spoke to the bar association members on Marbury vs.
Madison, which historically sets
the nation apart as operating under the rule of law, not under the
rule of men.
“Tensions between the judicial, executive and legislative
branches are not unique to our
time,” Melton said. “It’s the way
the system works. It’s almost intentional.”
Supreme Court Justice Sears
has said that “There is this question of power. The issue is
whether or not the executive
branch and the executive can
change our budget. The judicial
branch of government is not a
state agency. We are a third
branch. And that makes it a constitutional issue.”
Perdue’s spokesperson Bert
Brantley maintains that there is
a constitutional responsibility
to balance the budget and the
law said the governor needed to
withhold equally from all state
agencies in time of sharp revenue decline.
Mills said budget cuts would
have affected Superior Court
judges, appellate judges and all
other judges salaried by the
state. Offices of district attornies also would have been affected, he said.
Attending Melton’s speech
were the Blue Ridge Circuit’s
other two Superior Court judges,
N. Jackson Harris and Ellen
McElyea, as well as Cherokee
County District Attorney Garry
Moss, and several other local
judges.
Melton refused to comment on
the recent federal Justice Department's repudiation, released June 1, of Georgia’s Voter
ID law. In July 2007, the Georgia
Supreme Court threw out a challenge to the law, ruling that the
plaintiff who brought the case
did not have legal standing to do
it. Melton wrote the court’s opinion in that decision.

HISTORICAL: School system says Building B’s structural issues make renovation too costly
FROM PAGE 1
School Superintendent Dr.
Frank Petruzielo said if the historical society bought the building, it would be costly, because
the district would need to be compensated at least for the amount
that it would cost it to replace the
office/training space.
“The Historical Society is welcome to have the building for free
… if you remove it from our site
in a timely manner,” Petruzielo
said in a June 4 letter to Joyner.
“The tax dollars we do receive
are meant to support public education – not historic preservation.”
The school district abandoned
use of Building B as part of its
central administrative offices in
March, shortly after employees
were moved to the new technology center recently built on Keeter
Road. Building B had, until then,
served as headquarters for the
system’s computer network.
The building recently received
a federal Office of Civil Rights
complaint for lack of accessibility under the Americans with
Disabilities Act requirements,
McGowan said. Additionally, he
said, the county’s liability insurance carrier has deemed the
building unsuitable for habitation.
At the March work session, the
school district had discussed options for the site that might possibly be undertaken if a new Special Purpose Local Option Sales
Tax (SPLOST) is approved in
2011, one option being a modern
central office building to be built
where Building B now is located.
However, the project is not currently in the five-year facilities
plan, and would have to be funded by a future SPLOST.
Building B, meanwhile, stands
unoccupied.
“We’ve got a structural engi-
neer and an architect looking at
it, trying to decide what to do, but
I’d say we’ll probably demolish it;
but we have not decided,” McGowan said.
Joyner said in a letter dated
May 28 that the society feels it is
imperative that the building be
preserved. She said the building,
constructed in Neoclassical Revival Style, housed grades 1-11
until the completion of Canton
High School in 1924. It remained
active as Canton Grammar
School until 1974, housing grades
1-6.
“We very much appreciate
your past efforts to preserve
(Building C) and the school
board’s donation of the Rock
Barn to the Historical Society,”
Joyner said in the letter. “We respectfully ask for your consideration to save this building in the
same manner.”
Joyner said she heard Building
B was given to the school board
by the city of Canton, and the
building officially reopened in
1976 as part of the Bicentennial
Celebration as the school system’s central offices.
“We understand that renovating older buildings can be a costly and time-consuming affair,”
she said. “However, we feel that
the benefits of saving historic
landmarks such as this are worth
the extra effort. Tourism is Georgia’s second-largest industry,
and, in 2004, it generated $26 billion to the state’s economy. Heritage tourism is a large part of
this industry. Smart communities market their unique historic
downtowns to attract visitors
and enhance the quality of life
for their residents. These historic buildings help to define our
community, and give it an identity.”
Nell Galt Magruder, a member
of the county historical society,
who also serves as an advisor to
the board of the Georgia Trust
for Historic Preservation, has
spoken to that organization
about the building, which she
called “architecturally beautiful.”
“I’m dismayed that this building is endangered,” she said. “It’s
one of our historic landmarks,
and we need to do everything we
can to preserve it. It’s part of our
history; many generations of
Cantonians went to that school.”
Joyner said the historical society would like to walk through
the building with school officials, so that society members
can understand the district’s reasons for demolishing it. McGowan said the district cannot
offer the historical society a tour,
because of insurance liability
due to the structural issues.
Magruder said a way needs to
be found for the historical society to tour the building.
“It’s deplorable,” she said.
“People were working in that
building up until two months
ago, and now they won’t let anybody inside.”
Petruzielo said in his June 4 letter that the district has been
down the renovation road before
with the restoration of the former high school.
“The renovation costs turned
out to be $6.8 million, exactly as
projected by our architects and
staff, despite vocal assertions by
members of your organization
and ‘experts’ that our estimates
were too high,” Petruzielo said in
the letter to Joyner. “I fully expect, when our thorough estimate and diligent cost estimates
(on Building B) are complete,
that you and members of your organization will once again
protest the results and provide
your own expert opinions and
low-ball estimates, despite how
things were proven to be wrong
in this regard with Building C.”
Joyner said McGowan has assured her that the building is not
for sale, but she wishes the district would reconsider, so that
the building might be used for an
arts center, or perhaps even a visitor’s center or museum. She said
the school board could follow the
lead of Appalachian Tech and
the Woodstock Downtown Development Authority to apply for
grant funds and reduce the cost.
McGowan said the school system budget, already under stress
due to the economy, needs to concentrate on the most economical
way to accommodate students by
building schools, rather than
spending money on an architectural renovation.
“We certainly won’t spend millions to renovate another building when we’ve had to cut three
elementary schools out of the
current SPLOST,” McGowan
said.
McGowan said the district donated the Rock Barn to the historical society at the request of
local citizens.
“I find it ridiculous and offensive,” Petruzielo said to Joyner’s
assertion that the school district
was reactive as opposed to being
proactive toward historic preservation, “that you would criticize
an organization which has donated to the Historical Society its
primary asset (the Rock Barn)
and which also provides you with
your major source of income. I
would challenge you to provide to
the school district and the public
data that depicts any other entity
in Cherokee County which has
done more for historical preservation.”
Joyner said the society does
not get the majority of its funding from the rental of the Rock
Barn.
“It basically pays for itself. We
make the barn available to a
number of nonprofit community
groups for free or reduced rates,
and our rental rates cover their
use and for our quarterly meetings and public exhibits,” she
said.
Petruzielo also said “whoever
prompted (Canton) Mayor (Gene
Hobgood) to pursue the question
of the old gymnasium has made
him look quite misinformed in
this regard.” Hobgood was quoted in the Cherokee Tribune last
week asserting that the school
district displayed “a little bit of
arrogance” in demolishing the
adjacent gymnasium without a
permit.
The Tribune has since changed
the story on its Web site, removing the quote from Hobgood and
the statement that the school district had not obtained a demolition permit.
Hobgood has since admitted he
was mistaken, saying that city
building official Mark Crosby
had located the demolition permit, issued April 2, 2007.
The school district’s downtown
Canton central office campus, in
addition to Building B, includes
the renovated Canton High
School (Building C) and the superintendent’s office, Building
A, which used to serve as the
headquarters of the Canton Cotton Mills. McGowan said employees are being moved out of the
basement of Building A and the
superintendent’s office, because
of damp working conditions, and
being relocated in rental space.
McGowan said there were no
plans for Building A’s top floor at
this time, other than to continue
using it.

Seeking
perfection
Despite dominant ’09, Eagles ace
LaDuca not yet satisfied
BY BRANDON MICHEA
sports@ledgernews.com
Self-satisfaction is not easy
to come by. Just ask Etowah’s
Garrison LaDuca.
Following a junior season in
which the Eagles’
Line 1 singles standout posted an 8-2
mark while facing
some of the state’s
elite, LaDuca is anything but satisfied.
“As an individLaDuca
ual, I think I could
have done better,” said LaDuca,
the 2009 Cherokee Ledger-News
Boys’ Tennis Player of the Year
in a season his Eagles went
20-1 and reached the Class
AAAAA state quarterfinals. “But
as a team, I’m proud of what we
accomplished.
“If we had played better
against Walton (in the quarterfinals), including myself, I think
we could have won state, but
we did well this season and
our wins definitely out-weigh
our losses.”
While LaDuca may not have
been fully satisfied with his
own
overall
performance,
Etowah coach Bob DeCan has
nothing but praise for his efforts,
especially after seeing LaDuca’s
improvements over the last year.
BRANDON MICHEA | LEDGER-NEWS
The 2009 season for Cherokee County boys tennis saw the Etowah Eagles win their fourth-straight region title
and advance to the Class AAAAA state quarterfinals, while the Creekview Grizzlies finished second in Region
7AAA to make their first trip to state, where they reached the second round. Members of the 2009 Cherokee
Ledger-News Boys’ All-County Tennis First Team are: (front, from left) Boys’ Player of the Year Garrison LaDuca
of Etowah, Creekview’s Cameron Murphy and Etowah’s Vincent Delise, Derek Holdway, (back) Kevin Baginski,
Paul Birdsong, Jack Hynes and Ben Cornelius.
“He’s a tennis nut and he’s on
the court constantly,” DeCan said.
“It’s reassuring to have that
almost sure thing in the No. 1 spot.
“The biggest improvement
from his sophomore to junior
year was his ability to work
points and really spread the
court. He moved the ball more
this year than he ever has and

Lady Eagles’ LaDuca proves to be a quick study
Freshman makes adjustment as Etowah’s No. 1 with ease
BY BRANDON MICHEA
sports@ledgernews.com
Often times, it can take an
upperclassman,
much
less
a freshman, playing varsity
tennis for the first time a little
while to adjust.
But for Etowah’s Nicole
LaDuca, the adjustment did not
take long.
Facing Blessed Trinity junior
Elizabeth Sims, ranked in the
top-20 in the state among her
class, in the second match of the
year, LaDuca rallied from an
opening-set loss for a 5-7, 6-4, 10-7
upset. From there, the Lady
Eagles’ freshman No. 1 singles
standout never looked back,
rolling to an 11-2 mark and helping Etowah to a Region 5AAAAA
title and a berth in the second
round of the state tournament.
BRANDON MICHEA | LEDGER-NEWS
Highlighting the 2009 girls’ tennis campaign, the Etowah Lady Eagles and Creekview Lady Grizzlies each earned
state playoff berths, with Etowah capturing the Region 5AAAAA title for a second straight season and reaching
the second round of the Class AAAAA state playoffs, and Creekview finishing as the runner-up in Region 7AAA
for its first state berth. Members of the 2009 Cherokee Ledger-News Girls’ All-County Tennis First Team are:
(front, from left) Etowah’s Haley Adams, Jessica Thaggard and Girls’ Player of the Year Nicole LaDuca,
Creekview’s Emily Waters and (back) Etowah’s Alyssa Siebold, Erin Cheatham, Jacqui Horn and Jessie Swan.
“There was a lot of pressure
being in the top spot, but I
felt like I adjusted to it pretty
quickly,” said LaDuca, the
2009 Cherokee Ledger-News
Girls’ Tennis Player of the Year.
“Coming through in the match
against [Sims] really set the tone
for the rest of the year.”
“She brought a lot to the
team,” said Lady Eagles coach
Billie Morgan, who has seen her
share of talented singles players
at Etowah, including former
standout Lauren Meier, now at
the University of Kentucky.
“Having her come in and fill the
No. 1 spot with the other girls we
already had returning just made
our team that much stronger.
“She’s one of the fastest players that I’ve had and she can get
to almost any ball on the court.”
But while her skills push her
past most of her opponents,
Morgan says it’s LaDuca’s
attitude that separates her from
the rest.
“She just loves to play tennis,”
Morgan said. “She can’t wait to
get out on the court. She loves
to go to drills and she doesn’t
complain about anything.
“Her talent along with that
motivation for loving the game
makes her that much better than
everybody else.”
But for LaDuca, adapting to
the high school team game, as
compared to the individual tournament play she does throughout the year, was about more
than what she did on the court.
“When I’m on the court it’s not
that big of a difference because
it’s just another match,” she
said. “But off the court, with the
team, it’s a whole lot more fun
because you’re with other girls
BRANDON MICHEA | LEDGER-NEWS
Despite only being a freshman,
Etowah’s Nicole LaDuca dominated a No. 1 singles, posting an 11-2
record to help the Lady Eagles to a
second-straight Region 5AAAAA
title and a trip to the second-round
of the Class AAAAA state playoffs.
that are having fun playing the
sport you love.”
“She blended in with the other
girls 100 percent,” said Morgan,
who had returned the bulk
of her talent from the Lady
Eagles’ region-champion 2008
squad. “ She helps motivate the
other players and she wants
everybody to get better.
She wants the team to do well,
not just herself. She’s an all
around team player.”

other forms of advertising – flyers, posting business cards,
knocking on doors – and got maybe five to ten customers. To
