Press Release
Georgia recently welcomed visitors from Ireland as part of a novel Inspector Exchange Program co-hosted by the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) and Ireland’s Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (AFM).
The curve in front of Chelsea Baptist Church isn’t a normal place to crash a vehicle.
Therefore, when two separate crashes happened in the spot within an hour, it’s definitely odd.
That’s what happened on Oct. 26. The first crash involved a black Chevrolet Explorer and the driver fled the scene before cops arrived.
About an hour later, an off-duty Trion policeman crashed his yellow two-door car near the same location just past the church.
No one was injured.
The Summerville News
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has scheduled a special session of the state legislature on Tuesday, November 13th. The General Assembly will be legally required to meet at the the capitol to discuss providing further aid to parts of South Georgia impacted by Hurricane Michael.
In a press release, the Governor said, “Many of Georgia’s communities were severely impacted by Hurricane Michael as families, businesses and farmers sustained significant financial losses. In response, I have asked the General Assembly to reconvene and take immediate action to provide relief funding and spur economic recovery for the affected areas.”
Deal plans to ask for an aid package totaling $270 million that will be distributed across the lower half of Georgia in manner as yet unspecified.
Lawmakers will also be asked to approve Deal’s Summer executive order that suspends collection of the state sales tax on jet fuel.
Both the Trion Bulldogs and Chattooga Indians secured advancement in the playoffs after single-point wins last night.
There will be programs celebrating veterans today in both Trion and Summerville today.
At 11 AM at Dowdy Park in Summerville, there will be a Veterans Memorial Dedication, featuring a program of patriotic music and the Post 5 Honor Guard will also be part of the program.
According to the Veterans Committee, nineteen new memorials will be added to the park, bringing the total to 660.
In Trion, the annual Veterans Day ceremony will begin at 1 PM at the park field’s veterans memorial. The public is encouraged to attend the event, which should last about an hour.
County resident Jim Day will be the featured speaker. Day achieved the rank of first lieutenant after over four years of active service and two of inactive, all in the Army. He then taught school and coached football at regional schools before retiring.
Jason Taylor will provide patriotic music. Trion High School student Paige Minter will sing the National Anthem. The Greater Rome Young Marines will present the colors.
In case of rain, the vent will move to the nearby pavilion.
“I feel like the most important thing I ever did outside of raising my family was my service in the army,” Day told the local paper. “Now, there are more than 340 million people in this county and only about 6.9 percent are veterans. I think it’s important to have these people recognized.”
Records released by the Summerville Police Department indicate that on Tuesday afternoon, a U-Haul truck was driven into multiple units at Chattooga Self Storage.
The truck was driven by 47-year-old Summerville woman Maranda Jarrells. Jarrells was reportedly driving to her own unit at the facility when the collision occurred.
The responding officer noted in his report that the SPD was called again later that day because as Jarrells left the facility, she hit another building on the way out.
The Chattooga County Chamber of Commerce has many irons in the fire under new director Cindy Rivers.
