(RICHMOND HILL, Ga.) Enmarket is celebrating the grand opening of its new Richmond Hill location at 3651 Highway 17.

“We are excited to be able to better serve our customers in Bryan County,” said Matt Clements, president of Enmarket, a division of Savannah-based Colonial Group. “This new store, will allow us to help motorists and shoppers in one of the fastest growing communities in the Southeast.”

Although the new store has already had a “soft” opening, formal ribbon-cutting ceremonies are planned for Thursday, May 4, 2023 at 11 a.m. The press and the public are invited to attend. Guests will be treated to product samplings of fan favorites and free giveaways. More information can be found on Enmarket.com, Facebook and Instagram.

The new location is at the intersection of Highway 17 and Harris Trail Road. Enmarket stands less than two miles from Exit 90 on I-95 and the Richmond Hill High School.

The Harris Trail store becomes the 130th store in Enmarket’s inventory across Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Its build is a refinement of Enmarket’s prototype, the store location next to the corporate offices off Ogeechee Road near Chatham Parkway, optimizing unused space in the original design and eliminating equipment. These adjustments make the store more efficient to build, operate and shop in, but the look and feel of the prototype has been retained.

The new store includes food service from the Eatery and Mooz frozen yogurt, and offers an in-bay Marketwash car wash.

The company also operates 16 restaurants branded as Subway, Larry’s Giant Subs, Baldino’s, and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, as well as 25 Marketwash car washes.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - The rest of Richmond County students headed back to school Monday.

Richmond County elementary students started last week, and the rest of the district has now started, including middle and high schoolers.

There are a few improvements that district administrators hope will make the school a safer and better learning environment.

A safety grant from the governor allows for the purchase of new cameras throughout the district.

“The governor provided a safety grant for the schools in the state of Georgia. And we’re proud to implement that grant this year,” said Dr. Kenneth Bradshaw, Richmond County superintendent.

The district also has implemented a system with an emergency button in each classroom that allows teachers to notify the main office and even alert 911 dispatchers.

“Teachers can press a button, and the front office can come and support them immediately,” said Bradshaw.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL COSTS:

The superintendent says educators look forward to also having more resource officers at the school. There will also be a weekly meeting regarding safety.

“We’re going to have a weekly safety meeting in which we meet to really discuss the upcoming events,” said Bradshaw. “And we think that safety meeting along with getting all of our SROs and even asking the sheriff’s department and marshals department to support us, we believe all of those entities will really help improve safety.”

These aren’t the only changes happening in the district.

“Educators are trying to narrow down to exactly what each student needs, so there’s now differentiated instruction, small group instruction in the classroom and more hands-on learning to captivate students in the learning process,” said Cordaryl Middleton, principal at Lucy. C. Laney High School.

Math class could even look a little different.

“Our math teachers have really been working hard to learn different math standards, as well as implementation of different strategies that have been provided by the math department to make sure that they’re able to meet our students’ needs,” said Middleton.

The goal is to make sure their students can accomplish anything, without any worries.

Middleton says educators want to make sure they get all that they need to be structurally strong in order to be ready for the real world.

Teachers have been working hard throughout the summer to implement these changes in order to be ready for the first day of school and the upcoming school year.

Three Georgia Tech baseball players heard their names called on Monday afternoon as they were selected on the second day of the 2023 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

Kristian Campbell (Marietta, Ga./Walton HS) was selected in the fourth round (No. 132 overall) by the Boston Red Sox before Jake DeLeo (Norwalk, Conn./Avon Old Farms School) was taken in the sixth round (No. 173 overall) by the Miami Marlins. John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year semifinalist Jackson Finley(Richmond Hill, Ga./Richmond Hill HS) rounded out the day for Tech when he was selected in the eighth round (No. 226 overall) by the Oakland Athletics.

In his first season of action, redshirt freshman Campbell showed off his incredible bat-to-ball talent as Tech’s leadoff hitter, hitting .376 for 65 hits, 16 doubles, one triple, four home runs and 24 RBI. Drawing 29 walks and 11 hit-by-pitches with just 16 strikeouts in 173 at-bats, he reached base at a .484 clip. In conference play alone, Campbell hit a gaudy .388 with 45 hits, 10 doubles and two home runs, drawing 19 walks, five HBP and striking out just 13 times in 116 at-bats for a .493 on-base percentage.

In the ACC, the freshman All-American ranked as the second-toughest to strike out at 10.3 at-bats per strikeout, as well as fourth in on-base percentage, sixth in average, eighth in runs per game and hits per game, and ninth in doubles per game. He earned third-team all-conference honors as well as was named to the league’s all-freshman list.

Also having a career year after finally being fully healthy, DeLeo was one of the ACC’s best centerfielders. Starting in all 57 games, DeLeo hit .365 for 91 hits, 23 doubles, three triples and 14 home runs, slugging .651 and reaching base at a .426 clip. The Norwalk, Conn. native has also stolen eight bases on the field and recorded four outfield assists. Nationally, DeLeo ranked 12th and 17th in hits and total bases (156), respectively, but in the ACC, he also ranked top 15 in doubles (third), average (10th), runs (10th) and slugging (12th), earning second-team all-conference honors.

As impressive in the classroom as on the field, DeLeo was also named a CSC First-Team Academic All-American, turning in an impressive 3.91 cumulative GPA.

Finley was named all-ACC as a utility/designated hitter after already earning semifinalist status for the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award. At the plate, Finley was a menace, hitting .328 overall for 65 hits, 17 doubles and a team-best 17 home runs for 61 RBI. Tech’s Sunday starter for the season as well, the Richmond Hill, Ga. native worked to a 6.47 ERA, with two wins and 42 strikeouts. In the ACC, Finley ranked third in RBI, sixth in home runs, seventh in slugging percentage (.686), and eighth in doubles.

The selections mark the 43rd-straight season in which a Georgia Tech student-athlete has been taken in the MLB Draft, a streak that began in 1981 with the selection of first baseman Tommy Thompson by the Kansas City Royals. The three Yellow Jackets overall so far mark the 23rd-straight year Georgia Tech baseball has had multiple picks in a single draft.

Foreclosure activity in the U.S. is on the rise. In the first six months of the year, default notices, scheduled auctions, or bank repossessions, increased by 13% compared to the first half of last year, and by 185% compared to the first six months of 2021, according to land, property, and real estate data provider ATTOM.

The highest number of foreclosure filings were reported in Illinois, New Jersey, and Maryland, while the largest increases in foreclosures occurred in Maryland, Oregon, and Alaska. At a more granular level, some major U.S. metropolitan areas are also reporting especially high foreclosure rates relative to the rest of the country.

According to a recent report from ATTOM, the Augusta-Richmond County metro area, which spans parts of Georgia and South Carolina, has one of the highest foreclosure rates of any city in the country. In the first half of 2023, there was about one foreclosure for every 490 homes, the 29th highest foreclosure rate of the 223 metropolitan statistical areas with populations of at least 200,000 considered in the report.

The 535 total foreclosures in the metro area from January to June 2023 represents a 7.4% increase from the same period in 2022.
