Carroll County Animal Control and the animal shelter will be combined into one new department, which will be called Animal Services.
“From the community perspective, people think of Animal Control and animal shelter going hand-in-hand,” said Carroll County Board of Commissioners Chairman Marty Smith. “Animal Control had been split off last year and fell under the prison system, where it was located and maintained.”
Smith said the new Animal Services will be a single department, but will hav...

There is a new sheriff in town — so to speak — and the expectation level for the Villa Rica High School football team is rising.
Chad Frazier took over as the VR head coach and athletic director back in January when former coach Mike Falleur left to go to Arkansas and coach at his alma mater. The new top Cat spent six years as the head man at Heritage in Conyers, where he led the Patriots to playoff appearances in each of the last three seasons and was named region coach of the year once.

For two years, Kayla Chapman had to make the trip to state alone, but this time around she will have the rest of the Bremen High School girls' golf team with her as they tee off at the GHSA State Golf Championships at Hawks Point Golf Club in Vidalia on Monday morning for the Class AA competition.

By Karen Brooks AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - The Powerball jackpot Saturday night could exceed the $600 million figure being advertised, possibly rivaling the largest lottery payoff in U.S. history, a Texas Lottery official said on Saturday.
