BREAK: DRAKE STORY 1: Newton County Commissioners Reject High-Density Project Rezoning The Newton County Board of Commissioners rejected a proposal for a high-density, mixed-use development at the intersection of U.S. Highway 278 and Ga. Highway 142 near Eastside High School. The project, sought by Sockwell Corners LLC, aimed to rezone 158 acres for 294 single-family homes, 146 townhomes, 180 condos or office units, and commercial space. Despite promises of green spaces and amenities, concerns over school overcrowding, infrastructure strain, and lack of demand for high-density housing led to unanimous denial. Issues with sewage infrastructure further complicated the rezoning request, as commissioners echoed community opposition and the need to preserve residential preferences for larger, detached homes in the area. STORY 2: Street Rod Association Starts Ramble In Morgan County Over 100 restored classic cars participated in a charity ramble organized by the Georgia Street Rod Association to support the Georgia Sheriff’s Association Youth Homes. The event coincided with National Collector Car Appreciation Day. The cars, carrying 176 participants, departed from the Georgia Sheriff’s Association in Madison, escorted by the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office to Greene County, Sparta, and then to Milledgeville for lunch. Sheriff Robert Markley of Morgan County welcomed the group and led a prayer. Organizers expected to raise between $4,000 and $5,000 for the Georgia Youth Home program through the event. STORY 3: Piedmont Newton Recognized for Commitment to Stroke Care   Piedmont Newton Hospital in Covington has been awarded the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines - Stroke Gold Plus Award with Target: Stroke Elite Honor Roll and Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll. This recognition highlights the hospital's adherence to evidence-based guidelines in stroke treatment, aiming to improve patient outcomes through faster treatment and comprehensive care for Type 2 diabetes patients. Erica Walker, the hospital’s stroke and cardiovascular program manager emphasized the program's impact on patient recovery and overall health outcomes in the community. Piedmont Newton’s commitment to these guidelines has been instrumental in reducing mortality rates and improving quality of care.

Speeding is identified as a significant factor contributing to these fatalities, with recent incidents including motorists driving over 100 miles per hour. To combat this, Morgan County is participating in “Operation Southern Slow Down,” a regional campaign across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee aimed at increasing awareness and enforcement of speed limits from July 15 to 21. The initiative aims to curb speeding-related fatalities, emphasizing the importance of road safety through enhanced patrols and strict enforcement measures. STORY 5: Newton County to celebrate opening of new park Newton County is set to open Spring Hill Park on July 30, fulfilling a community-driven initiative funded by Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Collections.
