Rick Jackson wants voters to forget Donald Trump

CANTON, GEORGIA — As Rick Jackson barnstormed around Georgia on election eve, he kept emphasizing how he’ll continue the legacy of outgoing Gov. Brian Kemp — while avoiding mention of President Donald Trump. Amidst stiff national headwinds, Jackson is looking to localize the governor’s race as much as possible in his swing state. “In Georgia, a governor makes decisions every day that affect your life. And every day, our lives have been better for the last 24 years, but especially for the last four years,” he told voters at a Canton, Ga., restaurant on Monday morning. He then offered a veiled nod to voters’ fury at the president: “No matter what has happened in Washington, through two different presidents.” “At the end of the day, a governor cannot control what happens at the national level,” said Garrison Douglas, spokesperson for Jackson. “All he can control is what happens at the state level and how we respond to those national and world events. And that’s what he’s talking about.” Through two events Sunday and Monday – his major closing rally and a breakfast — the closest Jackson came to mentioning the president was when he credited Kemp for the $4 billion

Five Georgia Martyrs honored in rare Catholic rite

Savannah was the center of U.S. Catholicism for six hours Saturday morning. Five Franciscans martyred on Georgia’s coast in 1597 were bestowed the title “Blessed” during a Beatification Mass, giving the group known as the Georgia Martyrs the Catholic Church’s most venerated status short of Sainthood. Thousands of Catholics from across the globe, attended the service at the Savannah Convention Center. “It’s a milestone event for the Diocese of Savannah, for Catholics, especially in the state of Georgia, and also for the universal church,” said Most Rev. Stephen D. Parkes, Bishop of Savannah. The Mass was presided over by Cardinal Frank Leo, Archbishop of Toronto and representative of Pope Leo as Papal Legate. The service brought an immense rarity in the Roman Catholic Church, the world’s largest Christian denomination, to the Hostess City of the South. Only six beatifications have occurred on U.S. soil. Saturday’s was the first in Georgia and the first in the American South. Standing at the ambo, pastoral staff in hand, Cardinal Frank Leo delivered his homily. "It is a profound spiritual delight to gather this morning and celebrate together here in such great numbers," he said, the unveiled image of the of the beatified friars

The Georgia Mystery That Still Has No Clear Answer

Tiny, moon-eyed people built an ancient 855-foot zigzagging stone wall in Georgia’s mountains.

Floyd County 4-H wins big at Georgia National Fair

Twelve Floyd County 4-H youth made a strong showing at the Georgia National Fair, bringing home awards in a variety of junior livestock and project competitions. The 37th annual fair in Perry provided an important opportunity for young agricultural exhibitors to showcase their hard work, said Carma Adams, 4-H program assistant, in a release. For many local 4-H families, the Georgia National Fair is about much more than competition, she said. It provides an opportunity for families to spend time together, celebrate shared accomplishments, and pass agricultural knowledge and 4-H traditions from one generation to the next. This year, Merita Humphrey, a Master 4-H member, was there to support her grandchildren, Emma and Easton Selman, as they designed mini booths, dish gardens and more as third-generation 4-H members. Their mother, Cherilyn Selman, now a Floyd County 4-H volunteer, is also a Master 4-H member. “Stories like theirs highlight how 4-H continues to build lifelong connections while developing youth leaders who carry forward traditions of service, learning, and agriculture,” Adams said. The fair features junior livestock competitions across multiple species, including beef cattle, goats, rabbits, sheep, swine, and dairy cattle, along with livestock judging contests, educational agricultural exhibits and craft exhibits.
