Faith

A Special Place

I had planned to share something else with you this week. That is until hearing of the war in Israel. My love for Israel started decades ago. I was fortunate to grow up in a home that attended church regularly. I still have my first Bible; one my folks gave me for my eighth birthday. Faith has percolated in my heart since an early age.

Expo Preview: 70 years in the CSRA makes WJBF a community favorite

Committee talks on recommendations for Georgia’s dual enrollment program

Members of the Joint Study Committee on Dual Enrollment for Highly Skilled Talent at Young Ages met on Oct. 11 to discuss final recommendations. Dual enrollment is a pathway for students in high school to jumpstart their post-secondary education, generally at one of Georgia’s technical colleges. Currently, under HB 444 passed in 2020, dual enrollment targets high school juniors and seniors who are allowed to take core and career and technology education (CTE) courses. High school sophomores can also participate, but are limited to CTE courses. Prior to 2020, freshmen

Local caterer delivers food with LOL

She grew up in a big family who all had a passion for cooking. At the age of 13, she was helping her grandma cook for various community centers around Augusta. It’s not surprising that Tashia Bailey started a catering business. “Through the years, I also worked in nearly every school cafeteria in Richmond County,” she said. “I’ve also worked at most of the area fast food places and for a while, as the bakery manager at Walmart,” said Bailey.
