The Regional Job Fest is back on Thursday, Oct. 30, at Georgia Piedmont Technical College’s Newton Campus, and it’s kind of a big deal. Dozens of employers—think Michelin, Piedmont Newton Hospital, and even the city of Covington—will be there, ready to hire. On-site interviews? Yep. Plus, there’s a “dress for success” closet if you need a quick wardrobe upgrade. Last year, over 500 people showed up, and with good reason. It’s a chance to connect directly with local industries. The event runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 8100 Bob Williams Pkwy. Pre-register online! STORY 2: Rising star Nicholas Jamerson to play Cultural Center Friday, Oct. 24 Nicholas Jamerson is carving out his place as one of Kentucky’s musical greats—or, as Whiskey Riff puts it, a “king of Kentucky music.” On Friday, Oct. 24, Jamerson and his band, The Morning Jays, will bring their soulful blend of country rock and bluegrass to the historic Madison-Morgan Cultural Center. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the show kicking off at 7:30 p.m. Touring in support of his sixth album, The Narrow Way, Jamerson draws deeply from his Appalachian roots. Tickets? $35—grab them before they’re gone! STORY 3: Peachtree Academy students serve others through hunger outreach On Friday, Oct. 10, Peachtree Academy’s junior and senior students rolled up their sleeves and got to work, putting their faith into action through the school’s “Feeding the Hungry” project. Inspired by Isaiah 58:10—the students volunteered at The Giving Hands Food Pantry at Covington First United Methodist Church. They sorted canned goods, organized shelves, and prepped for the pantry’s next big distribution. It wasn’t just about stacking food—it was about serving with heart.

We’ll be right back Break: INGLES MARKETS 2 STORY 4: Truck driver charged in I-85 crash that killed Gwinnett family A Gainesville truck driver is facing charges after a horrific six-vehicle crash on I-85 in Jackson County that killed eight members of a Gwinnett County family. Kane Aaron Hammock, 33, has been charged with 12 counts, including eight for second-degree vehicular homicide and one for second-degree feticide by vehicle. The Georgia State Patrol said Hammock’s semi was following too closely and slammed into the back of a Dodge Grand Caravan, sparking a fiery chain reaction. The victims—three adults, five children—were reportedly headed to Tanger Outlets. It’s devastating. STORY 5: Newton school board approves TAN resolution in case of funding gap   Facing a potential funding gap thanks to delayed property tax collections, the Newton County Board of Education approved a plan to borrow up to $15 million through Tax Anticipation Notes (TANs). Superintendent Dr. Duke Bradley III didn’t sugarcoat it: “We’re at the mercy of tax revenues. This delay disrupts everything.” The issue? Tax bills went out late, and with a single due date of Dec. 20, the school system could run short on cash to cover expenses. Tax Commissioner Brent Bennett pushed back, saying the timeline complies with state law, but the school system isn’t taking chances. “We can’t risk being even a dollar short,” Bradley said.
