Friends Of Chattooga County Animal Shelter Urges Pet Owners To Spay And Neuter After More Than 100 Puppies Born From Two Dogs
Friends of Chattooga County Animal Shelter is using the story of two mama dogs to remind pet owners about the importance of spaying and neutering.
According to the organization, 14 puppies recently came into the shelter after being born to two female dogs that had spent years having repeated litters. One of the dogs had reportedly had at least eight litters in five years, while the other had at least three litters in three years.
Even using an estimate of eight puppies per litter, the organization says the two dogs were responsible for at least 88 puppies, though the actual number is believed to be more than 100.
Shelter advocates say those numbers show how quickly the pet overpopulation crisis can grow. Each litter means more puppies needing food, shelter, veterinary care and permanent homes, adding pressure to shelters and rescue groups that are already overcrowded.
There was a positive ending for the 14 most recent puppies. Friends of Chattooga County Animal Shelter said the puppies were transferred to a rescue partner and taken to Delaware, where all 14 were adopted over the weekend.
The organization thanked Jess with Best Friends for helping make the transfer possible, along with an anonymous local sponsor who paid to have both mama dogs spayed. Shelter supporters say that donation means the cycle of repeated pregnancies and litters has now ended for those two dogs.
Friends of Chattooga County Animal Shelter also thanked Lori Yonts with Sun Kissed Acres for transporting the mama dogs and Luci Jennings for bringing them home.
The group says the message is not about judgment, but about preventing suffering before it starts. They are encouraging pet owners to spay and neuter their animals, saying one surgery can prevent hundreds of animals from entering an already overwhelmed shelter system.
Holly Chaney Speaks To Chattooga County Democrats About Jobs, Healthcare And Community Growth
Candidate Holly Chaney recently spoke at a meeting of the Chattooga County Democratic Party, where she answered questions from members and outlined her objectives as a representative for Georgia House District 12.
Chaney said economic pressure on local families is one of the major concerns she hears from residents. She told those attending the meeting that people should come before profit, saying that when families are not thriving, businesses, communities and children are not thriving either.
When asked about the biggest issues facing the area, Chaney pointed to the need for better-paying jobs in Northwest Georgia. She said many residents feel limited by a lack of economic opportunity and said workforce training programs could help people gain skills for higher-paying careers.
Chaney also said attracting new employers is important, but added that those jobs must provide wages that allow families to live and thrive.
She also addressed the need for commercial investment and revitalization in local business districts, saying some areas that should have active storefronts and local businesses instead have vacant buildings or properties being used mainly for storage.
Healthcare was another topic discussed during the meeting. Chaney said changes in healthcare policy may give states a larger role in finding solutions that better serve residents.
Chaney said building community remains central to her campaign, adding that she sees a need for someone willing to bring people together, listen to concerns and help strengthen communities.
Georgia Gas Prices Fall Ahead of Busy Independence Day Travel Period
Georgia drivers are getting some welcome relief at the pump just as one of the busiest travel periods of the year approaches.
According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Georgia is now $3.64 per gallon, down 11 cents from a week ago and 38 cents lower than a month ago. However, prices remain about 70 cents higher than this time last year. A typical 15-gallon fill-up now costs Georgia drivers approximately $54.75.
“Georgia drivers are seeing some welcome relief at the pump just as one of the busiest travel periods of the year gets underway,” said Garrett Townsend, Public Affairs Director for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “The recent decline in gas prices is helping ease travel costs for families planning summer road trips. While current prices are encouraging for holiday travelers, motorists should continue to monitor local prices and plan ahead to maximize their fuel savings.”
AAA reports that the national average for regular gasoline has dropped below the $4-per-gallon mark for the first time since late March, falling to $3.93 per gallon, a decrease of 14 cents over the past week.
Locally, Northwest Georgia motorists are also seeing lower prices. AAA’s most recent county averages show:
- Chattooga County: $3.79 per gallon
- Floyd County: $3.74 per gallon
- Walker County: $3.72 per gallon
- Gordon County: $3.74 per gallon
- DeKalb County, Alabama: $3.93 per gallon
- Cherokee County, Alabama: $3.88 per gallon
Among Georgia’s metro markets, the most expensive areas for gasoline are Macon ($3.75), Savannah ($3.74), and Athens ($3.68). The least expensive markets are Dalton ($3.41), Albany ($3.45), and Brunswick ($3.48).
With record numbers of travelers expected to hit the road for the Independence Day holiday, AAA encourages drivers to compare prices before filling up, plan routes in advance, and take advantage of fuel-saving tools such as the AAA TripTik Travel Planner and Fuel Price Finder.
Two GNTC Students Place at National FBLA Competition
Two Georgia Northwestern Technical College students earned finalist honors at the 2026 Future Business Leaders of America Collegiate National Leadership Conference, held June 6th through 8th in Las Vegas.

Donald Abernathy Receives Sunflower Award for Outstanding Service and Compassion
AdventHealth Redmond has recognized Donald Abernathy as the recipient of the Sunflower Award for the first quarter of 2026.
The award honors non-nursing team members who demonstrate extraordinary service, compassion, and dedication to patients, visitors, and fellow team members. The Sunflower Award complements the DAISY Award for nurses and recognizes employees who bring light, warmth, and hope to those they serve.
Abernathy serves as a concierge at AdventHealth Redmond’s outpatient entrance in Rome and was nominated by both a patient and fellow team members for his kindness and commitment to helping others.
One patient said Abernathy went above and beyond during a pre-operative appointment after she realized she had left her medications in a vehicle parked far from the hospital entrance. Instead of allowing the patient to make the painful walk back to her car, Abernathy volunteered to retrieve the medications for her.
The patient said Abernathy may not have known she suffers from severe back problems, but his act of kindness was a tremendous help and blessing.
Co-workers also praised Abernathy for his servant-hearted attitude and willingness to assist patients and visitors. As one of the first people many encounter when arriving at the hospital, Abernathy is known for greeting visitors with a smile and helping them feel welcomed and cared for.
Teresa Miller, Consumer Access Manager, said Abernathy consistently demonstrates the compassion, kindness, and dedication that define AdventHealth’s mission, adding that one phrase often heard from him is, “I’ll take care of it.”
As the Sunflower Award recipient, Abernathy received a commemorative certificate, Sunflower Award pin, keepsake trophy, flowers, and recognition from hospital leaders and colleagues.
Lafayette Man Cited for Public Intoxication in Summerville
A Lafayette man was cited for public intoxication following an incident on Hawkins Drive in Summerville on June 19, according to a report from the Summerville Police Department.
The citation identifies the defendant as William Craig Ramsey, 53, of Lafayette. Officers responded to an incident at approximately 2:30 a.m. on Hawkins Drive. According to the officer’s narrative, Ramsey was involved in a verbal domestic dispute that resulted in a 911 call.
Upon making contact with Ramsey, the responding officer reported smelling a strong odor of alcoholic beverages and marijuana. The report states that Ramsey admitted to consuming alcohol and smoking marijuana.
Police said Ramsey was walking on a city street and that his level of intoxication placed both himself and the public in jeopardy. He was subsequently cited for Public Intoxication under a Summerville city ordinance.
Ramsey is scheduled to appear in Summerville Municipal Court on August 11.
Georgia Lawmakers Focus on Election Changes, Tax Relief During Special Session
Georgia lawmakers returned to the State Capitol last week for a special legislative session called by Governor Brian Kemp to address election law implementation, local homestead tax exemptions, and ratification of a temporary suspension of state motor fuel taxes.
According to State Representative Eddie Lumsden, who represents Chattooga County and a portion of Floyd County, legislators opted not to take up congressional and state legislative redistricting during the special session, despite redistricting being included in the governor’s original proclamation.
One of the first measures approved by lawmakers was House Resolution 3EX, which ratifies Governor Kemp’s executive order extending the temporary suspension of Georgia’s motor fuel and diesel fuel taxes. The extension continued tax relief for motorists through the Memorial Day travel period.
Lawmakers are also reviewing Senate Bill 3EX, which would make adjustments to Georgia election laws and address implementation deadlines established under previous legislation. The measure deals with election equipment requirements and the use of human-readable ballot text in vote tabulation.
Another major topic under consideration involves local homestead tax exemptions. Following passage of legislation earlier this year authorizing a Local Homestead Option Sales Tax, lawmakers are considering local bills that would allow communities to place homestead exemption measures before voters during the November 2026 General Election.
The General Assembly resumed work Monday as legislators continue debating the measures included in the governor’s special session agenda.

Arrest Report - Monday - June 22, 2026
Here is the latest arrest report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office for Monday, June 22, 2026:
Strong Storms, Flash Flooding Threat Target Northwest Georgia Monday Evening
Northwest Georgia residents should prepare for the possibility of strong to severe thunderstorms this evening as a line of storms is expected to move into the region from Tennessee and Alabama between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
The National Weather Service says scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop across North Georgia during the afternoon as temperatures climb into the upper 80s and lower 90s. Conditions will remain hot and humid, with heat index values reaching the mid to upper 90s.
While isolated storms during the afternoon could produce gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and frequent lightning, forecasters are most concerned about a stronger line of storms expected to arrive during the evening hours. Damaging straight-line winds are the primary threat, although an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.
In addition to severe weather concerns, localized flash flooding may develop where repeated rounds of heavy rain move across the same locations. Residents in flood-prone areas should remain alert for rapidly changing conditions.
The strongest storms are expected to affect Northwest Georgia first before moving southeast toward the Atlanta area later tonight. Forecasters expect the line to weaken as it progresses across the state.
A cold front will move through Georgia on Tuesday, bringing slightly cooler temperatures and lower humidity to North Georgia. Most areas in Northwest Georgia are expected to remain dry Tuesday, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
Looking ahead, typical summertime weather returns for the remainder of the week. Daily chances for afternoon and evening thunderstorms are expected, along with increasing heat and humidity. Heat index values could approach or exceed 100 degrees by the weekend, making it one of the hottest stretches of the year so far.
Trion's Thompson Named GACA Coach Of The Year
Trion High School girls soccer coach Marcia Thompson has been named Coach of the Year by the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association (GACA) as part of the Class A Division II First Team All-State honors.
The recognition comes on the heels of a historic season for the Lady Bulldogs. Last month, Trion captured the GHSA Class A Division II State Championship, earning the school’s first-ever state title in girls soccer.
The championship was also significant for the region, marking the first time a girls soccer team from Northwest Georgia has won a state championship.
In addition to Thompson’s honor, Emma Martz was recognized as Player of the Year. Several other Trion standouts also received recognition, including Allison “Allie” Hudgins, Baylee Blair, and Ayla Sanford.
Martz, Hudgins, and Blair were graduating seniors this year and played key roles in the Lady Bulldogs’ championship run.
The Georgia Athletic Coaches Association supports and recognizes high school and middle school coaches and athletic directors across the state. The organization’s annual awards honor outstanding achievements by coaches and student-athletes throughout Georgia.
Thompson’s Coach of the Year selection adds another milestone to a season that will be remembered as one of the most successful in Trion High School athletics history.
TVA Investing Billions To Meet Growing Power Demand Across The Tennessee Valley
As population growth, industrial expansion, and increased electricity usage continue across the Southeast, the Tennessee Valley Authority is making major investments in power generation and grid infrastructure to meet rising demand throughout its seven-state service region.
TVA, the nation’s largest public power provider, supplies electricity to more than 10 million people through 153 local power companies and electric cooperatives, including North Georgia EMC, which serves much of Northwest Georgia, including Chattooga County.
TVA officials have warned that electricity demand is growing at a pace not seen in decades. Much of that growth is being driven by new manufacturing facilities, data centers, population increases, and the broader electrification of homes, businesses, and transportation.
To address those needs, TVA has announced plans to invest billions of dollars over the next decade in new generation sources and transmission infrastructure. The utility is pursuing a diversified strategy that includes expanding natural gas generation, extending the life of existing nuclear facilities, developing new nuclear technologies, increasing battery storage capacity, and adding renewable energy resources where practical.
Transmission upgrades are also a major focus. TVA is working to strengthen and expand the electric grid throughout the Tennessee Valley to improve reliability and ensure power can be delivered efficiently to rapidly growing areas. These projects include new transmission lines, upgraded substations, and modernization of aging infrastructure.
For customers served by North Georgia EMC, TVA’s investments are especially important. NGEMC purchases wholesale electricity through TVA, meaning the cooperative depends on TVA’s ability to generate and deliver reliable power during periods of peak demand.
The issue has become increasingly important as summer temperatures rise. TVA officials say electricity usage continues to set records during extreme heat events when air conditioners run continuously across the region. Similar challenges occur during winter cold snaps when heating demand spikes.
TVA leaders have stressed that maintaining reliability remains the agency’s top priority as demand grows. The utility has reported that it expects power demand across its service territory to increase significantly over the coming years, requiring one of the largest infrastructure buildouts in its history.
The investments are expected to support economic development efforts throughout the Tennessee Valley, including Northwest Georgia, where local leaders continue to recruit new industries and businesses that require dependable electric service.
For residents and businesses in Chattooga County and surrounding areas, TVA’s long-term planning could play a significant role in determining future electric reliability, infrastructure improvements, and the region’s ability to attract new economic opportunities.

Summerville Council To Consider Adding Juneteenth As Paid Holiday
City of Summerville employees could receive an additional paid holiday beginning in 2027 if the city council approves a proposal to recognize Juneteenth as an official city holiday.
The idea was raised during Monday night’s Summerville City Council meeting by Councilwoman Simone Adams, who asked fellow council members to consider adding the federal holiday to the city’s list of paid days off for employees.
“I would like to see possibly put on next month’s agenda for us to vote for the staff to be off on June 19 of 2027,” Adams said during the meeting.
Juneteenth, observed annually on June 19, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The holiday marks June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and informed enslaved African Americans that they were free, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
The holiday became a federal holiday in 2021 and is already recognized as a state holiday in Georgia. Most state offices close in observance of the day, and many local governments and private employers now provide Juneteenth as a paid holiday.
According to the proposal, adding Juneteenth would expand Summerville’s current list of paid holidays for city employees and bring the city’s holiday schedule more in line with other government entities across Georgia and the nation.
Adams suggested placing the matter on the council’s July agenda for formal consideration. No vote was taken during Monday night’s meeting, and city officials gave no indication whether the proposal currently has majority support from council members.
If approved, the change would not take effect until June 19, 2027.
For now, the proposal remains under consideration and is expected to return before the council at a future meeting.
Georgia Republicans Move To Keep Touchscreen Voting System Ahead Of Midterms
Georgia Senate Republicans have approved legislation that would delay a state law banning the use of QR codes to count votes, keeping the state’s touchscreen voting system in place through the 2026 midterm elections. The measure passed the Senate by a 33-19 vote and now heads to the Georgia House for consideration.
The legislation would postpone the QR code ban until January 2028 and create a committee to recommend specifications for Georgia’s next voting system. Lawmakers say the move is necessary to avoid confusion and potential legal challenges because the state has not yet developed or implemented a replacement system.
Gov. Brian Kemp called lawmakers into a special session in part to address the looming July 1 deadline established by a 2024 law that would prohibit counting votes through QR codes. Election officials have warned that making a major change before this fall’s elections could create logistical problems for counties and voters.
Georgia’s current voting system uses touchscreen machines that print paper ballots containing both a human-readable summary and a QR code that is scanned to tabulate votes. Critics have argued for years that voters cannot independently verify the information contained in the QR code, while supporters say changing systems too close to an election could create significant disruptions.
The Senate proposal would also require full hand recounts of the top two races on the ballot, a provision that has generated debate among lawmakers over the time and resources required to conduct such counts.
Democrats generally support delaying the QR code ban but criticized the bill’s process, arguing that the committee tasked with designing a future voting system lacks adequate bipartisan representation.
If approved by the House and signed into law, the measure would keep Georgia’s touchscreen voting system in place through at least the 2026 election cycle while state leaders work toward selecting a long-term replacement.
Energy Department Offers Record Loan To Southern Company Subsidiaries
The U.S. Energy Department has offered a record $26.54 billion loan package to subsidiaries of Southern Company to strengthen and expand the electric grid in Georgia and Alabama.
The financing, described by federal officials as the largest ever provided through the department’s loan office, would go to Georgia Power and Alabama Power. The Energy Department says the investment could save customers in the two states more than $7 billion while helping improve the reliability and resilience of the power grid.
The two loans, which would span roughly 30 years, are intended to support more than 16 gigawatts of power additions and upgrades. Planned projects include approximately 5 gigawatts of new natural gas generation, upgrades to existing nuclear facilities, modernization of hydropower plants, development of battery energy storage systems, and more than 1,300 miles of transmission and grid enhancement projects.
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the loans would help lower energy costs, create jobs, and improve grid reliability across Georgia and Alabama.
Southern Company Chairman, President and CEO Chris Womack said the financing would reduce the cost of major grid investments and help deliver greater reliability and resilience for customers.
The company noted that funds would be drawn only after certain conditions are met and could be accessed through September 15, 2033.
While supporters point to the potential benefits for electric reliability and long-term infrastructure improvements, the proposal has also drawn criticism from some consumer advocates, watchdog groups, and environmental organizations.
Critics argue that taxpayers could ultimately face financial risk if projects experience significant cost overruns or repayment issues. Others note that although federal officials project billions of dollars in customer savings, state utility regulators will continue to play a key role in determining how infrastructure costs are reflected in future electric rates.
Some observers have also pointed to Southern Company’s history with large-scale energy projects, including delays and cost overruns associated with the Plant Vogtle nuclear expansion in Georgia and the Kemper energy project in Mississippi, arguing that strong oversight will be necessary as the utility moves forward with another major infrastructure program.
Environmental groups have additionally raised concerns about plans to add approximately 5 gigawatts of new natural gas generation, contending that federal energy investments should focus more heavily on renewable energy sources and reducing carbon emissions.
The proposed loan package remains subject to final conditions and approvals before funds can be fully utilized.
