Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Stephens Flock logs show 2,833 entries after monthlong records delay (nowgeorgia.com) — In Toccoa, newly released Stephens County Sheriff's Office records reveal 2,833 uses of Flock license plate readers in seven months, heavily focused on drug and wanted-person investigations. Officials redacted user names and IDs, limiting public oversight, even as other Georgia counties have already uncovered policy violations and discipline tied to similar camera systems.
2. Check out Laptops at the Toccoa-Stephens County Public Library (wnegradio.com) — If you need a computer in Toccoa, the Toccoa-Stephens County Public Library now lets cardholders check out laptops or Chromebooks for up to two weeks at no cost. Located on West Savannah Street, the library offers this flexible option during its weekday and Saturday hours to help residents with schoolwork and other projects.
3. Fan chosen as Toccoa Rotary Club's Georgia Rotary Scholar for 2026-27 (wnegradio.com) — A local Stephens County High School graduate, Rebecca Fan, has been selected as the Toccoa Rotary Club's Georgia Rotary Student Program scholar for the 2026–27 year, studying music education at the University of Toccoa Falls. Her selection highlights the club's role in bringing international students to local colleges and celebrates a hometown student who once sang the National Anthem at her graduation.
4. Signed and Scrubbed: September 2026 hospital M&A (healthcare-brew.com) — Stephens County Hospital in Toccoa has agreed to join the larger Wellstar Health System, a move that could reshape local healthcare access and services. The deal is part of a nationwide wave of hospital mergers, but for Toccoa residents it may influence everything from specialty care availability to where you're referred for treatment in the coming years.
