location have left him searching for answers on Thursday, August
22nd and into the early hours of the following Friday,

the old Briar Patch. Three vehicles were spotted, one around

98 seven Chat Tech, or 98.7% of our students earn
a career.
S4 (02:20):
What we did at Chattahoochee Tech mainly focused on the
more environmental aspect of that soil sampling, stream assessments, land assessments,
and then also the geographic interface with that as well.
S5 (02:33):
The majority of our students are on the traditional side,
but we do have a pretty big percentage. I'd say.
I don't know the exact number off the top of
my head. Around 30% of the students are non-traditional who
do come back, who've been working in the field for
years and want to get a degree in engineering.
S6 (02:48):
So many of the instructors that were here are so
passionate about what they teach, because they come from that field. And,
you know, the first week is, hey, how are you doing?
And the next week is, let's grab this gear and
go out and shoot video and then put it together.
Let's work on figuring out how to be storytellers.

Three former employees of Appletree Learning Center and Academy in
DeKalb County have pleaded guilty to multiple child abuse charges.
Alexis Swain, Corey Chambers and Cassandra Chambers were convicted of
a combined 35 counts of abuse. Swain was sentenced to
ten years with five years in custody. Chambers received ten
years probation and house arrest, and Artis Chambers got 12
(04:20):
months probation. The abuse was uncovered through surveillance footage after
a parent reported injuries to their child. The fourth defendant,
Sharita Hull, still awaits trial. This from the Paulding County
Crime Facebook page from the Paulding County Uncensored Facebook page.
This post exciting news for outdoor enthusiasts. A brand new
trail has just opened, connecting the area near the Dallas
(04:41):
Post Office to the beautiful Sara Babb Park. The scenic
trail stretches a little over two miles one way, offering
a rewarding adventure for hikers and walkers. Be prepared for
a challenge as the trail is quite hilly, making it
perfect for those looking to get their heart rate up
while enjoying the natural beauty of Dallas. Whether you're looking
for a peaceful walk or a vigorous hike, this new
trail provides a great way to explore the local landscape.
(05:03):
Danny Dyer responded by saying, did the hike today? Only
thing I would add is this benches along the trail.
Kathy Gonzalez said thank you so much for this post.
Just finished walking the trail and it was amazing. So
glad that Dallas now has a hidden gem and its
hours to appreciate. Deborah Tedder said wonderful trail with pretty views.
The bridges are awesome and Kelly Wilson said is it
patrolled like the Silver Comet? Your weird story of the
(05:27):
day comes from Philadelphia, where on Saturday it hosted the
15th annual Naked Bike Ride, where hundreds of participants, some
in various states of undress, pedaled through the city to
promote cycling, fuel conscious living and body positivity. The event,
which encourages participants to dress as bare as you dare,
included not only bicycles but also rollerblades, skateboards and scooters.
(05:48):
The 12 mile route showcased city landmarks starting in Fairmount
Park and ending in Drexel University. Initially held in September,
the ride now takes place in August due to cooler
weather concerns. It can't be a show in September, can you?
This from AP news.
S7 (06:03):
And here are some events to get you out of
the house.
S2 (06:06):
Some events starting tonight at 6 p.m., the Dallas Fall
Cornhole League on Wednesday nights at the Box Sports Bar
and Grill. Tomorrow, beginning at 9 a.m., Health Care Industry
Roundtable at Paulding Chamber of Commerce. And then on Friday,
Digital Learning Day for all Paulding County students.
S1 (06:23):
Whether you're new to church, have been a Christian for
many years, or looking for a fresh start, you're welcome
at new Season church. New season is a place where
people can believe in God, belong to a family of believers,
and become fully devoted followers. We exist so that people
far from God may experience life in Christ and become
fully engaged followers. Join us for one of our two
(06:44):
Sunday services 9 or 11 a.m..
S8 (06:46):
Hi, this is Pastor Steve Flockhart. Whether you're new to
the Paulding community or have been here since the day
you were born, New Season Church is a place where
all are welcome. From our exciting children and student ministries
to our engaging Bible studies and small groups and events,

Highway in Hiram. We exist so that people far from

In sports and high school football action, it was East
Side defeating Hyrum 48 to 21. East Paulding beat North
Paulding 43 to 23. North Atlanta beat Paulding County 34
to 10, and Allatoona edged out South Paulding with a
close score 31 to 29. And finally, the US Postal
Service is considering cost cutting measures that may slow down
(08:05):
delivery for long distance and rural areas. Under the proposal,
local deliveries within 50 miles of major processing centers would
be faster, while rural areas could see an extra day
added to delivery times. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy stated these
changes aimed to save about $30 billion over ten years
and address ongoing financial challenges. The changes would not affect
(08:27):
election mail or the 24 peak season, and would only
be implemented after the November election. Public hearings will be
held for feedback before any changes take effect. This from WSB.
