GNTC holds Spring 2024 Adult Education Graduation CeremonyRate of young women getting sterilized doubled after Roe was overturnedSupreme Court OKs Local Crackdowns on Homelessness, as Advocates Warn of Chaos These stories and more are coming up in today’s edition of the Northwest Georgia News podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: DRAKE STORY 1: GNTC holds Spring 2024 Adult Education Graduation Ceremony Georgia Northwestern Technical College’s Office of Adult Education celebrated its Spring 2024 Graduation Ceremony on June 27 at the Gordon County Campus in Calhoun. The event honored students earning their High School Equivalency diplomas across GNTC’s nine-county service area. The ceremony began with remarks from Lisa Shaw, Vice President of Adult Education, and Dr. Heidi Popham, GNTC President, highlighting the graduates’ perseverance and achievements. Deanna Hulsey, honored as the 2024 Rick Perkins Instructor of the Year, shared her inspiring journey from GED test-taker to educator. Laurie Brooks, Career Services specialist, presented diplomas to graduates, and scholarships were recognized by Derrick McDaniel and Sandra Russell from the Adult Education program. STORY 2: Rate of young women getting sterilized doubles after Roe was overturned Sophia Ferst, reacting to the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, decided to pursue sterilization to ensure she wouldn't face obstacles accessing abortion services if needed. In Montana, where abortion restrictions are in flux, many young adults like Ferst are seeking permanent birth control options. Data from JAMA Health Forum shows a significant increase in tubal ligations and vasectomies among 18- to 30-year-olds following the Dobbs ruling. OB-GYNs across Montana report more young patients requesting sterilization, reflecting a shift from historical trends. Despite some providers' reluctance, many are now supporting informed decision-making for permanent contraception, respecting patient autonomy and preferences. STORY 3: Supreme Court Oks Local Crackdowns on Homelessness, as Advocates Warn of Chaos The U.S. Supreme Court's recent 6-3 decision in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson allows for easier enforcement of laws targeting homeless individuals in public spaces, such as bans on sleeping or camping. Despite concerns raised by advocates and dissenting justices like Sonia Sotomayor, the majority ruled that such enforcement does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment, even in the absence of alternative shelter options. The decision could lead to increased fines, arrests, and the dispersal of homeless encampments across the country, exacerbating health risks and disrupting care for vulnerable populations. Back in a moment Commercial: INGLES 5 STORY 4: Rome Finance Committee Recommends Slight Tax Reduction The Rome Finance Committee recommended a slight reduction in the city’s millage rate during a recent meeting. Mayor Craig McDaniel acknowledged the impact of inflation on citizens and supported the reduction to 26.2 mills, a decrease of 0.25 mills. This rate represents the amount per $1,000 of assessed property value. Despite the reduction, most property owners may still see higher tax payments due to increased property valuations. The rollback rate, which would maintain taxes at previous levels, was not met with this reduction. Concerns over city worker salaries and potential impacts of a pending sales tax referendum were also discussed. STORY 5: Sherri Papini to Break Silence After Kidnapping Hoax in ID Documentary Investigation Discovery (ID) is producing a multi-part documentary featuring Sherri Papini, in response to the Hulu documentary on her disappearance. The ID series will include exclusive interviews with Papini discussing her 2016 disappearance, the subsequent media scrutiny, and the federal investigation into her kidnapping hoax. Produced by Asylum Entertainment Group and Lady Moon Entertainment, the docuseries promises new insights through archival footage, legal documents, and interviews with those close to Papini. ID's President, Jason Sarlanis, emphasized presenting Papini's perspective firsthand. Papini gained global attention after falsely claiming she was kidnapped, leading to legal repercussions including prison time and a hefty fine.
