CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA Cherokee County students earned regional and state honors through the annual Georgia Student Technology Competition.
The statewide competition offers students in grades 3-12 the opportunity to showcase their skills through 16 categories and vie for honors at regional and state fairs.
Nearly 90 Cherokee County students put their technology skills to the test at the Piedmont Regional Technology Competition. The regional event was organized and led by Shannon Carroll, the district s supervisor of instructional technology, and Jeff Pence, the district s instructional technology specialist.
On the way to his final resting place, Ed Epley paid one last visit to the Benton County Courthouse.
Epley, a dedicated anti-war activist, helped organize the peace vigil that has been held outside the downtown Corvallis landmark every day from 5 to 6 p.m. since Oct. 7, 2001, when the United States launched an invasion of Afghanistan in reaction to the 9/11 attacks.
On most of those days, the vigil began with Epley pulling to the curb in his vintage Volkswagen bus and passing out signs to his fellow protesters.
Russia accused the West on Wednesday of descending into hysteria over the jailing of opposition politician Alexei Navalny, and the Kremlin said police had been right to use force to break up protests over his imprisonment. Emily Wither reports.
