<p>Georgia Power, the state’s largest utility provider, is facing criticism from environmental groups, energy analysts, and individual customers over its proposed energy plans, reliance on fossil fuels, and increasing energy costs. Critics argue that the company’s plans rely too heavily on fossil fuels and underestimate the potential of renewable energy sources.<!--more--></p>
<p>One of the main concerns raised by critics is Georgia Power’s reliance on fossil fuels. The company plans to increase capacity through methane gas units and upgrades to existing fossil fuel plants. Environmental groups like the Sierra Club, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, and Natural Resources Defense Council argue that this approach is detrimental to the environment and does not adequately prioritize renewable energy sources.</p>
<p>Additionally, some experts believe Georgia Power is overestimating the demand for energy, especially from data centers, and question the reliability of their forecasting models. Former Public Service Commissioner Bobby Baker has also questioned the scale of Georgia Power’s planned capacity increase and the lack of transparency in their energy plans.</p>
<p>Customers have voiced complaints about high energy bills, especially during peak seasons, and concerns about proposed rate hikes. Some customers report difficulty in getting timely assistance with outages and other service-related issues. Frequent and prolonged power outages, especially during extreme weather, have led to frustration and financial losses for some customers.</p>
<p>Georgia Power maintains that its plans are necessary to meet the growing energy demand in the state, particularly from data centers. They also emphasize their commitment to investing in renewable energy sources, such as solar power, and upgrading existing infrastructure. The company is also subject to oversight from the Georgia Public Service Commission, which will be holding hearings on their proposed energy plan.</p>
<p>Despite Georgia Power’s assurances, critics remain skeptical of the company’s approach and are calling for greater transparency and a stronger focus on renewable energy sources. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Georgia Power will address these concerns and adjust its energy plans accordingly.</p>

<p>The Georgia Lottery Corporation has announced a monumental achievement, generating $1,471,352,000 in proceeds for Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship and Pre-K programs in fiscal year 2025. This marks the tenth consecutive year the organization has surpassed the $1 billion mark in contributions to the state’s education initiatives.<!--more--></p>
<p>The impressive financial milestone underscores the lottery’s consistent and significant role in funding crucial educational opportunities across Georgia. Fiscal year 2025 commenced on July 1, 2024, and concluded on June 30, 2025.</p>
<p>“Ten successive years of billion-dollar returns to education in Georgia is an achievement in which we can all take great pride,” stated Gretchen Corbin, President and CEO of the Georgia Lottery. “This milestone represents a decade of tremendous impact throughout Georgia, and we are grateful for the support we have received over the years.”</p>
<p>Corbin extended her appreciation to Governor Brian Kemp, the Georgia legislature, the lottery’s board of directors and advisory boards, as well as its valued retailers, vendors, partners, employees, and players, all of whom contribute to the corporation’s ongoing success.</p>

<p>Berry College has been awarded a $50,000 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to assess and preserve two historically African American cemeteries located on its campus. These sites are the last physical remnants of two Reconstruction-era settlements, Freemantown and the Shelton Family, founded by formerly enslaved people in Mount Berry, Georgia, between 1870 and the 1920s.<!--more--></p>
<p>The cemeteries, located within Berry’s expansive Mountain Campus, hold significant historical value, predating the establishment of the Berry Schools (now Berry College) in 1902. The grant funding aims to support comprehensive site surveys, detailed condition assessments, and the development of a long-term preservation plan to protect these sacred spaces and the stories they represent.</p>
<p>“I am excited that we have received support from the National Trust for Historic Preservation African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund to support our documentation and preservation efforts of these two historic resources on the Berry College campus,” said Jennifer Dickey, a Kennesaw State University professor of history, campus preservationist, and Berry College alumna who is serving as the project’s preservation consultant. “The additional documentation generated by the assessments and surveys and the ensuing preservation report will guide Berry’s preservation and interpretation efforts going forward.”</p>
<p>The Freemantown and Shelton family settlements, originally located within a mile of each other, began to disperse in the 1910s and 1920s. During this period, the expanding Berry Schools acquired land occupied by the descendants of the founders. By 1926, the last remaining family members had sold their land and migrated, either to the nearby city of Rome or to distant urban areas as part of the Great Migration.</p>
<p>The scope of work for the project is extensive and includes both above-ground and below-ground condition assessments. A crucial component will be a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey, which will allow the project team to accurately determine the true number and condition of burials, as well as the precise boundaries of the cemeteries. This detailed information will inform the preparation of a comprehensive cemetery preservation plan.</p>
<p>The grant awarded to Berry College is part of the National Grant Program, a signature initiative of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund at the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This year, the fund is distributing $3 million in grants to 24 sites across the country, all of which represent integral aspects of Black American joy, resilience, innovation, and activism.</p>

<p>Following heavy downpours on Thursday, Northwest Georgia residents should prepare for a continued pattern of scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms today, with forecasters warning of potential localized flooding.<!--more--></p>
<p>The National Weather Service predicts a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms, primarily between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. today. Temperatures will climb to a high near 93 degrees Fahrenheit, with oppressive heat index values soaring as high as 102 degrees, urging caution for outdoor activities. Winds will be calm, shifting to northwest around 5 mph.</p>
<p>A broad mid and upper-level troughing system, coupled with a surface front pushing south into northern Georgia later this morning, is responsible for sparking these diurnally-driven storms. These conditions are expected to persist, bringing showers and thunderstorms tonight, mainly before 8 p.m., with a 60% chance of precipitation and a low around 70 degrees.</p>
<p>The cold front will continue its southward trek overnight into Saturday. On Saturday, the chance of precipitation rises significantly to 80%, with showers and potentially thunderstorms expected after 2 p.m. The high will be cooler, near 82 degrees. While general rainfall amounts are anticipated to be between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, higher amounts are possible in stronger thunderstorms, increasing the risk of localized flooding.</p>
<p>The front is then expected to stall across middle Georgia, which will provide a “much needed break” for Northwest Georgia from the most intense storm activity. Cold air damming down the Appalachians will help to suppress widespread afternoon thunderstorms in the immediate area.</p>
<p>However, scattered storms remain in the weekend forecast. Sunday still carries a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms, largely after 8 a.m., with a high near 77 degrees. By Sunday night, the chance drops to 30%, with a low around 65.</p>

<p>Downtown Summerville experienced flash flooding on Thursday afternoon as heavy rains and thunderstorms dumped between three and five inches of precipitation in a short period, impacting local businesses and causing concern among residents.<!--more--></p>
<p>The deluge quickly overwhelmed the area’s drainage systems, leading to standing water in the streets and affecting storefronts in the heart of the city. Summerville City Manager Jason Winters, along with City of Summerville public works employees, were observed actively working to clear drainage grates, aiming to alleviate the accumulating floodwaters.</p>
<p>While the unexpected flooding caused disruption for downtown shops, governmental offices, and other businesses, there was a shared sentiment that the situation could have been far more severe. This perspective stems from a significant flood event in September 2022, when torrential rains led to extensive downtown flooding, prompting Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to issue a disaster declaration for the area.</p>
<p>Following the devastating 2022 flood, proactive measures were undertaken to address Summerville’s recurring drainage challenges. The Georgia Department of Transportation initiated a process to assess and improve the downtown area’s drainage systems. Additionally, crucial steps were taken to remove beaver dams that had previously obstructed Town Creek, contributing to excess water accumulation.</p>
<p>Despite these efforts, Thursday’s incident underscores the ongoing vulnerability of downtown Summerville to heavy rainfall. The persistent issue of flooding in the district is expected to remain a significant topic of discussion and concern for both local and state officials in the foreseeable future.</p>

<p>The average mortgage debt for Georgia homeowners has climbed to $225,786 in 2024, a 3.9% increase from the previous year, highlighting the ongoing challenges in the state’s housing market, particularly for prospective first-time homebuyers.<!--more--></p>
<p>While the state’s average remains $26,719 lower than the national average of $252,505, the consistent rise in debt underscores broader affordability concerns plaguing those looking to enter home ownership.</p>
<p>This surge in debt comes amidst a challenging national housing landscape. Over the past five years, median home prices across the U.S. have jumped by nearly 50%, while 30-year mortgage rates have almost doubled. Simultaneously, the number of homes available for purchase has plummeted by a third, creating a difficult environment for those looking to buy.</p>
<p>Adding to the market squeeze, many current homeowners are opting to stay put. Those fortunate enough to own a home, especially with existing fixed-rate mortgages, are largely insulated from the current high rates, often enjoying rising home equity without a significant increase in their monthly payments. This trend limits the supply of homes coming onto the market, further exacerbating the inventory shortage.</p>
<p>The confluence of these factors paints a challenging picture for aspiring homeowners in Georgia and across the nation, making entry into the housing market increasingly expensive and elusive for many.</p>

<p>Georgia Highlands College (GHC), through its Center for Continuing and Professional Education (CCPE), is excited to announce the launch of its new Patient Care Technician (PCT) program at the Cartersville campus. Designed to meet the growing demand for skilled healthcare professionals, the program offers in-depth, hands-on training to prepare students for high-demand roles in hospitals, clinics, and other vital healthcare settings.<!--more--></p>
<p>The comprehensive program was developed and will be led by longtime healthcare educator Donna Mathias. “We created this program with the community in mind,” said Mathias. “After teaching PCT at the Bartow County College and Career Academy, I saw a real opportunity to bring this training to Georgia Highlands. It took a year to get started, but it will be worth it — not just for the students, but for the community we serve.”</p>
<p>GHC’s PCT program distinguishes itself in the region through its dedicated in-person instruction and unique clinical rotations at Piedmont Hospital in Cartersville. These invaluable experiences provide students with exposure to every department within the hospital, offering a full understanding of the wide range of responsibilities a PCT license enables and highlighting their crucial role in modern healthcare.</p>
<p>Throughout the intensive, semester-long program, students will master core healthcare skills essential for the role. Curriculum includes Phlebotomy, EKG monitoring, wound care with sterile dressing, urinary catheterization, respiratory support, as well as foundational medical terminology and body systems. Classes will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 AM to 4 PM, combining lectures, skill labs, and hands-on training each week.</p>
<p>The first cohort is set to begin on August 12 and will run through December 11. Graduates of the program will be immediately eligible to sit for the National Healthcare Association PCT Certification Exam, with the potential for employment as early as the same day they pass.</p>
<p>“There’s a growing need for Patient Care Technicians both in our area and across the country,” Mathias emphasized. “From hospitals and urgent care clinics to nursing homes and surgical centers, PCTs are in high demand. Their role is nearly as crucial as the growing need for nurses.” PCTs in Georgia typically earn between $15 and $25 per hour, depending on location and experience.</p>
<p>The program’s clinical component at Piedmont Cartersville is particularly beneficial, providing not only real-world training but also crucial opportunities for students to connect with potential employers. “Hospital staff are watching during clinicals,” Mathias noted. “They observe work ethic, professionalism, communication, and skill. When it’s time to apply for jobs, they already know who’s ready.”</p>
<p>The PCT program is ideal for individuals with a background or strong interest in healthcare, particularly those considering future nursing degrees. GHC also emphasizes developing critical soft skills alongside technical expertise. “We focus on more than just technical skills,” Mathias added. “We’re teaching students critical thinking, problem solving, and how to adapt to patient needs in real time. Those are the skills that make a great healthcare provider.”</p>

<p>Coffman Funeral Home and Crematory is urging local residents, especially families they have served, to be vigilant against a scam operation targeting individuals who have recently utilized their services.<!--more--></p>
<p>Jamey and Karen Coffman, owners of Coffman Funeral Home and Crematory, issued a stern warning after being alerted to the fraudulent activity.</p>
<p>“We have been made aware of someone identifying as Craig is reaching out to families served by us,” the Coffmans stated. “We do not have anyone on our staff by that name. This is an apparent scam.”</p>
<p>The scammer, identifying only as “Craig,” is reportedly contacting families who have recently utilized the funeral home’s services, attempting to solicit information or payments. The Coffmans emphasized that legitimate staff members do not make follow-up calls demanding additional payments or sensitive data beyond what was discussed and settled during initial arrangements.</p>
<p>“Do not give out any information, especially financial and personal,” the Coffmans advised the public. “We will never call you after the fact to demand anything that was not already covered when we met with you.”</p>
<p>The timing of such a scam, targeting individuals often in a state of grief and vulnerability, makes it particularly malicious. Coffman Funeral Home and Crematory is taking proactive steps to alert their community and prevent anyone from falling victim to this deceptive scheme.</p>
<p>Families who receive such suspicious calls from anyone claiming to be “Craig” or demanding unexpected payments related to funeral services are advised not to engage, provide any information, or make any payments. Instead, they should hang up immediately and contact Coffman Funeral Home and Crematory directly to verify any legitimate communications or if they have concerns.</p>

<p>The City of Summerville, Georgia, has announced an invitation to bid for the construction of FY 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Sewer System Improvements.

<p>Interested parties can submit their sealed bids until Thursday, September 4th, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Bids received after the deadline will not be considered. The bidding process is open to licensed utility contractors with a “Utility Manager” certification holder overseeing the work.</p>
<p>The project scope includes the installation of ± 2,000 LF of conventional sanitary sewer with PVC mains ranging from 10″ to 8″, ±120 VF of manhole construction, ±30 customer transfers, and ±1,000 LF of pavement replacement.

The fee to download the digital documents is $250.00. Bidders must also provide proof of a valid license by the State of Georgia as a “Utility Contractor” and list the license number on the bid envelope and form.</p>
<p>The funding for this project is provided by the Community Development Block Grant Program, administered by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.

<p>All contracts and subcontracts $2,000 or more must comply with Davis-Bacon wage, payroll, and all other Federal, State, and local requirements.
