Garrard Park in West Rome officially opens

The new Garrard Park in West Rome officially opened Friday, as Rome and Floyd County officials and their guests enjoyed balmy weather and blue skies for the official ribbon-cutting. The new park, which contains an oval-shaped pedal track, a central climbing structure and restrooms, cost $1.6 million, most of which was paid for with federal funds through the Northwest Georgia Housing Authority. The City of Rome contributed $160,000. “There’s a lot of West Rome pride out here today,” Floyd County Superior Court Clerk Mary Hardin Thornton said. “We all grew up here in Garden Lakes riding our bikes around.” Thornton is related to the Garrard family, after whom the park is named, and many extended family members attended the unveiling. While the restrooms and park equipment were a hit with many, the real attraction was the new pedal track, which is very different from a pump track. The pedal track is for younger bikers, with slightly banked curves, a tunnel and some obstacles for little kids. A pump track, like the one recently installed in Ridge Ferry Park, has much higher sides with steeper and more challenging obstacles. The park was initially planned for another location in West Rome; however,

Floyd County poised to renew speed camera contract Tuesday

The Floyd County Commission is expected to renew its contract for traffic enforcement cameras at Armuchee Primary School on Tuesday, its first meeting since the election that confirmed there will be two new members in January. A RedSpeed camera has been operating in the school zone along Martha Berry Highway since October 2022. Floyd County Police Department data has shown a significant decrease in wrecks and speeding violations since it was installed. The department’s request to continue the RedSpeed Traffic Enforcement System agreement is on the board’s consent agenda — a list of noncontroversial “housekeeping” items proposed for approval with a single vote. The sheriff’s office renewal of its jail medical contract with Genesys Health Services also is on the list, along with a quit claim deed for a Robin Street property that has been redeemed and plans to cancel the board’s last meeting of the year, set for Dec. 22. In January, newcomers Cleve Jackson and Shane Cowan are slated to replace Commissioners Scotty Hancock and Rhonda Wallace, whose terms end Dec. 31. Tuesday, commissioners are scheduled to caucus at 4 p.m. and start their regular meeting at 6 p.m. in the County Administration Building, 12 E. Fourth Ave.

Jacksonville State football starting to find its groove in CUSA play

JACKSONVILLE — As Jacksonville State football took a 17-point lead into the fourth quarter, it seemed that this team had finally started to separate itself from the pack this year. Then Caden Creel found the end zone to get the lead to 24 in the opening minute of the fourth quarter. The defense came up with a safety, then Jamill Williams broke the game wide open with an 85-yard free kick return for a touchdown to open up a 33-point lead, all before the clock hit 12 minutes left in the game. The Gamecocks cruised the rest of the way towards a 47-14 win over Sam Houston on Saturday, Nov. 7, to get to 7-2, and 5-0 in CUSA play. After a season-and-a-half of pulling out close wins in Conference USA, the Gamecocks may have once again found the instinct that lifted them to the quick start at the FBS level. "When everybody does their job, we are unstoppable," Williams said postgame. "That's what everybody did today in all three phases. We went out there and got the job done, and look at the outcome." The stretch to start the fourth quarter is what great teams are able to do

20th Annual Tree Walk provides learning opportunity in great outdoors

The Floyd County Extension Master Gardener Volunteers’ 20th annual Tree Walk was another success, as guests learned more about the trees found along Rome. The Tree Walk is held every year on Oct. 31, so before families don costumes and walk the neighborhoods to trick-or-treat, they can take a stroll along one of the many trails found throughout Rome. This year, participants enjoyed a walk starting at the Mt. Berry Trailhead, located behind the post office at 1420 Martha Berry Blvd. NE, and they continued for about 8/10 of a mile along the trail, said Keith Mickler, county extension coordinator and agricultural agent. The event attracted approximately 40 participants, and the walk was led by Mickler, Terry Paige, retired arborist for the City of Rome, and Floyd County Master Gardener Volunteer John Hendrickson. The weather was nice, and the wind showed up too, blowing through the trees and adding an extra fall feel to the day, Mickler said. Both seasoned and new attendees took part in the walk, and Mickler wore his specially designed 20th Annual Tree Walk shirt and sold about ten at the event. Mickler’s favorite part of the walk was spending time with his fellow guides, Paige
