STORY 1:   Kennesaw Man Charged with Having Modified Weapons at Kennesaw Publix 

Tyler Gus Haynes, 31, of Marietta, was arrested on May 2 at a Publix in Kennesaw after being found with modified weapons, including three rifles, a Glock 19 pistol, switches to convert pistols to fully automatic, and armor-piercing ammunition. Authorities were alerted after Haynes reportedly expressed suicidal intentions and plans to rob a business. He faces charges of unlawful possession of firearms and remains in custody without bond at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center. 

STORY 2:   New Playground at Tim Lee Boys & Girls Club 

On May 19, the Atlanta Braves, Gas South, and The Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier unveiled a new playground at the Tim Lee Boys & Girls Club. Funded by the Braves Foundation and Gas South, the playground offers a safe, modern space for kids to develop physically, socially, and cognitively. The ribbon-cutting ceremony featured community members, kids, and Braves mascot BLOOPER, followed by celebrations with food, giveaways, and playtime. This initiative reflects the Braves Foundation's mission to support communities through sports, health, and education programs. 

STORY 3:  KSU Recognized for Environmental Stewardship

The award highlights KSU's commitment to environmental stewardship through initiatives like its inaugural Sustainability Master Plan, which focuses on energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste reduction. María del Mar Ceballos and William Hargrove accepted the honor, emphasizing KSU's dedication to sustainability and institutional excellence. The event, held at Jim Miller Park, featured educational sessions and exhibits promoting green initiatives.
