Today's riddle: What do you call a paper airplane that can't fly? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 71-year-old man convicted for abusing several Georgia children over decades (wsbtv.com) — A longtime Woodstock resident has been convicted in Cherokee County of sexually abusing multiple children, following a 2024 investigation launched by the Woodstock Police Department. Jurors heard evidence of abuse dating back to 1981 before finding the 71-year-old man guilty on several serious felony charges. Sentencing has not yet been scheduled, but the case underscores ongoing child-safety concerns locally.
• NCPA Delegates Install Christian Tadrus as President, Approve Resolutions (ncpa.org) — A Woodstock-based pharmacist, Jonathan Marquess, has been confirmed as chair of the National Community Pharmacists Association board, giving the city a voice in national discussions on independent pharmacy practice and health care policy. The convention also installed a new president and passed resolutions supporting independent pharmacies' roles in emerging care models. These leadership moves could influence how local pharmacies navigate future regulations and payment systems.
• CWA's 'She Prays, She Votes' National Bus Tour Begins Today (concernedwomen.org) — A national "She Prays, She Votes" bus tour by Concerned Women for America is scheduled to hold a free rally in Woodstock on October 26. The conservative Christian group aims to encourage women to pray, engage, and vote in the November 3 midterm elections, with registration and livestream details available online.
