Notre Dame commit, son of former UGA All-American visiting Georgia football
Four-star linebacker recruit Thomas Davis Jr., who has been committed to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish since November, is visiting the Georgia Bulldogs this weekend. Davis is the son of legendary Georgia football safety Thomas Davis Sr. Coach Kirby Smart and Georgia are the school that is most likely to flip Davis Jr. The Bulldogs recently extended a scholarship offer to Davis and have a strong pitch to make for the talented linebacker prospect. Advertisement Georgia has developed the linebacker position better than any other school in the country in recent years. UGA produced two linebackers as first-round picks in the 2025 NFL draft in Jalon Walker and Mykel Williams (arguably a defensive end) and has had nine linebackers (includes Williams and Robert Beal) selected over the past five NFL drafts. Georgia also helped develop Davis' father, Thomas Davis Sr., into a first-round draft pick during the Mark Richt era. Davis Sr. played safety at Georgia from 2002-2004, but changed positions to linebacker in the NFL and flourished. In 13 seasons with the Carolina Panthers, Davis Sr. played and made three Pro Bowl appearances and helped the Panthers reach the Super Bowl in 2015. At Georgia, he was selected to the All-SEC first team in 2003 and 2004 and earned a consensus All-American selection in 2004. Thomas Davis Jr. recruiting ranking Georgia football players Thomas Davis, No. 10, and Greg Blue, No. 17, celebrate their team's victory Davis Jr. has the talent to make a name for himself. He plays for Weddington High School, which is located in Matthews, North Carolina. Advertisement Davis Jr. is the No. 176 prospect in the class of 2026. He is the No. 11 linebacker in the nation and the No. 11 recruit in North Carolina. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker is a versatile athlete that runs track and plays basketball in addition to playing football. He's exactly the type of linebacker that Georgia inside linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann is looking for.

Emmitsburg to reduce water rate increases for residents
The town of Emmitsburg modified a previous ordinance to increase water rates by 15%, rather than 36%, in fiscal year 2026. Water rates will also increase annually by 3% or the Consumer Price Index, whichever is greater. Additionally, the Board of Commissioners will review water overage charges annually and change the rate by other than the set increase as needed, according to the ordinance. The previous ordinance stated that beginning July 1, 2023, water rates in town would increase 36% annually, and continue to increase that rate each year for five years, according to town records. Starting July 1, 2028, rates would increase 3% annually. For instance, the maximum charge for 3/4-inch meter for the first 6,000 gallons used was $64.74 in FY25. That was supposed to increase to $88.04 under the previous ordinance, but will instead be $74.45 under the new policy. The increase came as a result of the town operating its water system at a deficit since at least 2015, according to town records. Commissioner Amy Boehman-Pollitt said at a meeting in April that the continual increases could drive businesses out of town, deter new businesses from entering and burden residents already facing increasing financial hardships. 'I don't think it's ethical to put that on the backs of our residents,' Boehman-Pollitt said of continuing the increase. Commissioner Valerie Turnquist said at the April meeting that water-rate increases impact families with different needs in different ways, 'because, as we know, it was only 36% if you used less than 6,000 gallons.' The ordinance passed 4-1, with Commissioners Turnquist, Boehman-Pollitt, Jim Hoover and Kevin Hagan voting in favor. Commissioner Cliff Sweeney voted against the ordinance. He said in an interview Tuesday that the measure would prolong the problems created by years of neglect. Sweeney said the issues were 'partly my fault' for all of the years he voted against raising water rates over fears of burdening residents with the cost. He said that had the commission raised rates slowly over many years, 'we'd have been where we needed to be.' Mayor Frank Davis said in an interview that the lesser increases would 'bring some challenges' and prevent the town from getting the water fund out of the red by the end of FY26. Davis said he people in the community he spoke with were sympathetic to the reasons why the town needed to continue the 36% increases to the water rates in order to get out from the hole of years of neglect. 'Nobody wanted the 36%, but they understood,' he said. He added that the new lower-than-expected rate will prevent the town from replacing water lines along West Main Street and might lead to the need to dip into the general fund. That would mean less money to fix roads and provide other services. 'I'm concerned,' Davis said. 'We're walking a tightrope in a windstorm.'

Axon roadshow stops in Grand Chute, showcasing law enforcement technology
GRAND CHUTE, Wis. (WFRV) – Arizona-based law enforcement technology manufacturer Axon Enterprise's massive semi-truck pulled into Grand Chute Police Department's parking lot Tuesday morning ahead of its roadshow, giving officers from agencies across the area the chance to get hands-on with the equipment. 'It's up to each agency, whether it's local, county or state, to find the appropriate funds and do those long-term contracts and have the capability to have that latest technology in their hands,' Axon Enterprise roadshow team lead Andrew Padilla said. Amid years of increasing scrutiny for law enforcement, Padilla believes that Axon's products — particularly body and dash cameras — hold a crucial role in transparency and trust for the public. 'It's about capturing the truth,' Padilla said. 'It's going to give you that angle that the officer was seeing, it's going to give you that daytime perception whether the officer is outside, they go into a dark room, they go into a basement, they climb into an attic.' Grand Chute Police Department stands by the significance that high-quality recordings have in the public's eyes, and they are used regularly by officers, according to Corporal Dylan Davis. 'That can be used in court, that can be used in investigations, we can refer back to those notes or body camera video if we have to refer back to a specific statement somebody says,' Davis said. 'The incidents that law enforcement deal with is important to capture and release to our public, as well as in the court process, to help gather that evidence, whether good or bad, to help in our investigations.' Davis was excited to welcome Axon and agencies from across Outagamie County and further-away jurisdictions in Wisconsin, as he hopes that it can help other departments make upgrades to their equipment after trying it Tuesday. 'Maybe if some agencies aren't using that technology, they can come and see how they can implement that in their agency,' he said. The Grand Chute Police Department uses a system of body cameras and Tasers that Axon makes. A development in recent years is that the cameras are synced with squad car lights and sirens, and also the tools on an officer's belt, so that the cameras begin recording as soon as an officer takes action without actually having to physically turn the cameras on. 'Now that we have those automated systems in place, our officers can focus on the task at hand rather than worrying about those technologies,' Davis said. 'Technology makes us safer, our community safer, and we like to be able to stay ahead of that.' One item that Grand Chute Police is investing in is the Taser 10, the latest in Axon's line. I got to try it myself. After pulling the safety switch, a quick pull of the trigger is all that it takes, and a laser aids in aiming. With no training, the instructor said I nailed the target, shooting two prongs at least 12 inches apart on the target. User-friendly, accurate and efficiently deployed within seconds, it's officers' chosen tool to safely take an individual into custody who is resisting or running. 'Once our department officers are fully trained up, we're going to move onto the Taser 10s, which Axon has here to demo,' Davis said. 'The Tasers cause what's called neuromuscular incapacitation, so it locks the subject up and allows officers to take control of the subject so that our officers don't get injured as well as the subject.' Axon travels to departments across the country and will be visiting Mequon on Thursday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
