Commercial: DRAKE STORY 1: Calhoun Approves Resolution with CRBI Over Drinking Water The City of Calhoun has taken a significant step towards resolving a lawsuit filed by the Coosa River Basin Initiative (CRBI) regarding water pollution. The city council unanimously approved an agreement to settle the litigation, which will now be reviewed by CRBI for final approval. This agreement aims to propose a consent decree in federal court, resolving disputes related to alleged pollution from the city's water treatment plant and its impact on the Coosawattee River. The lawsuit, initially triggered by environmental concerns and demands for significant fines under the Clean Water Act, has spurred the city to implement measures like carbon filters and water supply hookups to affected residents. Attorney Andy Davis outlined a timeline where the consent decree must be submitted within 30 days, followed by court approval proceedings. STORY 2: Gordon County Juvenile Probation Now a State Service Effective July 1, Senate Bill 453 came into effect, transferring juvenile probation and intake services in Gordon County to the Georgia Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Previously, these services were supervised by local juvenile court probation officers. The change, enabled by O.C.G.A. §15-11-69 (a), now aligns Gordon County with 136 other Georgia counties utilizing DJJ services, funded state-wide. This legislative shift, spearheaded by Senators Chuck Payne and Chuck Hufstetler, and Representative Matt Barton, removes probation officer salaries from local costs and places supervision under DJJ instead of juvenile court. Judge Lorie Moss expressed gratitude for their efforts in passing this bill. STORY 3: First Students in GNTC’S New CAN Program to Graduate in July Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) is concluding its first cohort of an accelerated Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program in partnership with Atrium Health Floyd. The program, aimed at addressing healthcare professional shortages in northwest Georgia, will see its students complete classes on July 25. Funded by nearly $1.1 million from Atrium Health Floyd over five years, the initiative also supports Respiratory Care Technology and Radiologic Technology programs at GNTC's Floyd County Campus. This collaboration aims to increase the region's workforce in healthcare, with a focus on nurturing caregivers and providing career advancement opportunities. The program's comprehensive curriculum covers essential skills and clinical experience, preparing students for immediate entry into the healthcare field.
