STORY 1: Braves Add Three in Swap With Mariners

The Atlanta Braves have acquired left-hander Marco Gonzales, outfielder Jarred Kelenic, infielder Evan White, and cash considerations from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for pitchers Jackson Kowar and Cole Phillips. Gonzales, 31, had a 4-1 record with a 5.22 ERA in 10 starts in 2023. Kelenic, 24, finished the season with a .253 batting average, 11 home runs, and 49 RBI. White, 27, appeared in two games with Triple-A Tacoma in 2023. The Braves acquired Kowar, 27, from the Kansas City Royals on November 17, where he went 2-0 with a 6.43 ERA in 23 games this season. Phillips, 20, was Atlanta's second-round draft pick in 2022.

STORY 2: Mill Creek Middle School Student Wins Regional Essay Contest

Mill Creek Middle School seventh-grader Saanvi Lamba has been named the Cherokee County winner of the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District's annual essay contest. Open to all middle schoolers in metro Atlanta, the contest required students to write about the river basin in their area, its importance to the community, and the significance of learning about river basins for water stewardship. Lamba focused on the Etowah River Watershed, emphasizing its historical importance and the need to protect it as a primary drinking water source and habitat for native species. She will be honored at an awards ceremony at the State Capitol.

STORY 3: Cherokee County Man Sentenced to 25 Years Prison After Cops Find Over 17 Pounds of Meth

James Aaron Aldred IV, a 36-year-old Canton resident, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for manufacturing, trafficking, and selling methamphetamine as part of a multi-state drug operation. Aldred pleaded guilty to the charges in a negotiated plea. He was sentenced to 45 years, with the first 25 years to be served in prison and the remaining on probation. The prosecution resulted from an investigation by the Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad, which discovered over 17 pounds of meth at Aldred's home. Authorities found that Aldred worked at the direction of a drug cartel, purchasing and selling large quantities of narcotics.

STORY 4: Liberty, Woodstock's Noah Frith to Face Oregon in Fiesta Bowl

The Oregon Ducks (11-2) will face the Liberty Flames (13-0) in the Fiesta Bowl at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on January 1. Oregon, ranked No. 8, is coming off a loss in the Pac-12 Championship game, while No. 23 Liberty, the Conference USA champion, finished the season undefeated. This will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams. Oregon coach Dan Lanning expressed excitement about the opportunity to play against a formidable opponent, and Liberty coach Jamey Chadwell emphasized the significance of the Fiesta Bowl for his team, which had an undefeated season.

STORY 5: New Congressional Map Proposes Major Changes in Atlanta's Northern Suburbs

Georgia's Senate Republicans have unveiled a new congressional map, responding to a federal judge's order to create an additional Black-majority district. The proposed map significantly alters the 6th Congressional District, currently represented by Republican Rep. Rich McCormick. The redrawn 6th District aims to have a Black-majority voting-age population, including portions of Cobb and Fulton counties with growing Black populations. The proposal also makes substantial changes to Georgia's 7th Congressional District, represented by Democrat Lucy McBath, removing it entirely from Gwinnett County. The new map will be considered by the General Assembly to address concerns raised about the Voting Rights Act.
