Ray's at Killer Creek Announces New Menu Initiative and Grand Reopening Party

Ray's at Killer Creek Announces New Menu Initiative and Grand Reopening Party

 

It’s an exciting time for  Ray’s at Killer Creek. In its thirteenth year of business, the beloved Alpharetta restaurant is currently revamping its overall feel with an updated look and fresh new food offerings. From a menu item cooking competition amongst all Ray’s Restaurants’ chefs to a grand reopening party later this fall, the Atlanta restaurant group is truly embracing this special season of change.

One important element of Ray’s at Killer Creek’s renewal is menu revision. To ensure all new dish additions are well-received by guests, all three Ray’s Restaurants are participating in a new menu item cooking competition. The contest started in late September when the executive chefs and sous chefs from each restaurant started developing new dishes, asking guests to try them and provide honest feedback.

Holy Innocents' dad ordained Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta

Holy Innocents' dad ordained Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta

ATLANTA -- "It’s a glorious day!” someone shouted out Saturday morning, Oct. 13, on a sunny plaza in front of the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel on the Morehouse College campus.

The occasion was the ordination and consecration of the Rev. Robert Christopher Wright as the 10th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. And a glorious celebration it was, with a procession of church banners emblazoned with vibrant colors, stands of bright yellow daylilies and crimson roses and gladiolas, and thousands of worshippers dressed in their Sunday best, coming to see the ordination of the first African-American Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta.

Wright is a father of four Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School students and a member of the school's Board of Trustees.

Fulton County cafeterias kick off School Lunch Week

Fulton County cafeterias kick off School Lunch Week

FULTON COUNTY -- Fulton County school cafeterias are hosting a "School Lunch - What's Cooking?" campaign during National School Lunch Week, October 15-19.

During lunchtime, students can take part in activities, including sticker giveaways for elementary students and "What's Cooking?' prizes for students in middle and high school. In some schools, parents are invited to take lunch with their kids in cafeterias, while learning how to take on healthier options for meals at school.

“Fulton County Schools already had been practicing many of the nutrition standards newly mandated by the federal government, including offering more whole grains and dark green, red and orange vegetables, and serving only fat free or 1% milk,” Alyssia Wright, executive director of School Nutrition said. “Menus also are free of trans fats and have restrictions in sodium.”

14 Fulton students among National Achievement semifinalists

14 Fulton students among National Achievement semifinalists

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Fourteen exceptional students from nine Fulton County high schools are among this year's semifinalists for the National Achievement Scholarship Program.

The program, which is part of the National Merit Corp., recognizes African-American high school students for their academic achievements. Eight hundred students nationwide receive a $2,500 National Achievement scholarship every year.

"These outstanding students have shown that they are academically competitive not just with their classmates, but also with their peers across Georgia and the United States," Superintendent Robert Avossa said in a statement. "We're proud of their accomplishments. They serve as a model for all of our students."

Teammate of Armstrong accusers reflects on choices

Sandy Springs, Ga. -- Back in the 1990s, Shannon Greenhill trained on the same US national cycling team as two men who would go on to ride with Lance Armstrong. She was close friends with a third. So when she read the extensive report where they were part of the 11 former teammates who admitted to a long-running scheme to cheat the sport and its regulators, she was catching up with old friends.

 
"To think of them climbing up those mountains with the substances that were pumping through their veins, it's inhuman," Greenhill said. "The thought of bags of blood being shipped across the Atlantic is just disgusting to me."

Chattahoochee Riverkeeper: Atlantans should do more to save water

Chattahoochee Riverkeeper: Atlantans should do more to save water

GAINESVILLE, Ga. -- A conservation group says metro Atlanta has made incremental progress in reducing water use since 2011, but could do more.

The Times of Gainesville reports that Atlanta-based Chattahoochee Riverkeeper released the findings as part of a 40-page update to its 2011 report, "Filling the Water Gap: Conservation Successes and Missed Opportunities in Metro Atlanta."

That report projected that the region could save as much as 160 million gallons of water per day through certain conservation measures.

Though some progress has been made, the group says residents in metro Atlanta "can and should do more."

Its report said that resolving the ongoing conflict with Alabama and Florida over allocation of water in Georgia "depends on our ability to show our downstream neighbors that we are doing all we can to conserve."
