Chattooga County Suing Over Contract Approved By Former Sole Commissioner

Chattooga County has filed a lawsuit against Zentell Communications, LLC, and Jonathan W. Allen, claiming breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation regarding a communications project set for late 2024. The lawsuit, filed in Chattooga County Superior Court, alleges that Zentell did not meet its contract obligations and misused county funds. The county had engaged Zentell through a competitive bidding process, with Allen submitting a bid and signing the contract to provide services.

According to the complaint, former County Commissioner Blake Elsberry authorized payments totaling $333,265 to Zentell for supposedly completed work. However, the county states that Zentell failed to provide essential documentation, including proof of labor and compliance with insurance and bond requirements, when auditors requested them during a review of federally funded projects. The county suspects the project was never finished and alleges that Zentell misappropriated its funds. Chattooga County is seeking damages equal to the funds paid, additional compensation for misrepresentation and fraud, and coverage for replacement services and attorney fees.

Former Commissioner Blake Elsberry took a job with Zentell Communications after losing the last election.  Up until recently, Elsberry’s LinkedIn account listed Zentell as his current employer as is evident in the screenshot above.  As of yesterday, Mr. Elsberry’s work history was wiped clean on that account.

Attorneys from the Palmour Law Firm are handling the case. Zentell Communications has not yet responded. This is a developing story.

City Of Summerville To Celebrate National Arbor Day On Friday

The City of Summerville Tree Board will celebrate National Arbor Day on Friday, April 25th by hosting a tree planting at The World Friendship Pocket Park at 10a.m. National Arbor Day in the USA is celebrated on the last Friday in April. This is the traditional date for this tree-planting and an environmental awareness holiday. As an official Tree City, it is the city’s commitment to cultivate civic pride and commit to a community that’s healthier, happier, and more livable.

The public is encouraged to attend the special Arbor Day celebration that will kick off a project promoting world friendship. A shumard red oak tree will be planted in the World Friendship Pocket Park as a symbol of friendship, nature and unity. As an inspiring initiative to foster unity and goodwill, this mission is spearheaded by Summerville, Georgia – dubbed “The Friendship Capital of the World”.

Mr. John Turner, also known as “Papa Friendlyway”, the founder of The World Friendship Flag Project, aims to present the mayors of the towns within the ABC (Atlanta, Birmingham, Chattanooga) Triangle with an oak seedling, alongside a small World Friendship Flag within a beautifully crafted planter, representing our commitment to nurturing relationships and caring for one another. The oak tree seedlings will not only beautify towns but also serve as a lasting reminder of our dedication to cultivate a vibrant and supportive environment.

In addition, the city will plant an October Glory Maple to replace the decayed Bradford Pear tree that was recently removed. UGA /Chattooga County Extension provided soil analysis to ensure the correct nutrients will be added to the soil at planting time to ensure the trees will have proper growth.

Conditions Improve At Chattooga County Animal Shelter After First Inspection Revealed Disturbing Conditions

A surprise inspection of the Chattooga County Animal Control on April 7th by the Georgia Department of Agriculture revealed troubling conditions, but a follow-up visit just four days later showed significant improvement.

Senior Inspector Lisa Gowens with the Georgia Department of Agriculture conducted the initial inspection, documenting a range of issues including inadequate shelter for puppies left in outdoor play yards during cold, rainy weather, and a widespread accumulation of waste throughout the facility. The report also cited instances of animals, including nursing mothers and puppies housed in the “cat room,” being without access to clean, fresh water. The article detailed the violations issued, which included failure to provide sanitary conditions, inadequate access to water, improper waste disposal, and insufficient disease prevention practices. The inspector noted a “gross over-accumulation of feces, urine, food wastes and soiled bedding” in nearly all areas of the facility. However, the situation appears to have been swiftly addressed. Inspector Gowens returned on April 11th and found that eight of the ten initial violations had been rectified. The remaining two violations, related to flooring issues, are expected to be resolved soon.

Plans are in place to provide further training and outreach to shelter staff. In addition, outside support is being brought in to develop and implement a more effective cleaning and maintenance routine until the floor repairs are completed

Trion Man Arrested On Drug Charges

Randy Lavon Sims, 59, from Trion, was arrested last week, for driving under the influence of drugs and driving with a suspended license. The arrest followed a traffic stop by a Chattooga County Sheriff’s Deputy on Highway 27 North after a deputy observed Sims’ Dodge truck with an obstructed license plate around 1:34 PM last Wednesday. Signs of impairment were noted, including bloodshot eyes and droopy eyelids. Sims, who admitted to being on probation, allowed a vehicle search, which uncovered a plastic bag with a white crystal-like substance. Tests indicated the presence of methamphetamine and fentanyl. During field sobriety tests, deputies noted signs of drug impairment, and Sims subsequently refused a blood test, seeking to consult his probation officer. He was taken to the Chattooga County Detention Center, and his vehicle was towed.  Sims was charged with driving while license suspended and DUI for drugs.

Georgia Highlands College President Receives Prestigious White Rose Award

Over a hundred students, faculty, staff, and community members gathered at the Georgia Highlands College (GHC) Cartersville campus on Monday to celebrate GHC President Dr. Mike Hobbs, who was presented with the prestigious White Rose Award.

Consul General of Israel to the Southeastern U.S., Anat Sultan-Dadon, and White Rose Society Founder Linda Selig bestowed the award upon Dr. Hobbs, recognizing his outstanding leadership, commitment to education, and dedication to the community. The White Rose Award is an esteemed honor, with previous Georgia recipients including Governor Brian Kemp and UGA President Jere Morehead. “The Consul General of Israel to the Southeastern U.S. has maintained a strong relationship with Georgia Highlands College for many years, connecting us with similarly sized institutions in Israel to foster virtual partnerships for our students. This partnership began over three years ago and has continued to flourish,” said President Hobbs. “I am deeply appreciative and grateful to receive this award, and I consider the goals we have accomplished with the Consul General as some of the most important work I have been honored to be a part of.” Dr. Hobbs assumed the presidency of GHC in July 2022, bringing with him a profound commitment to student success.

As a first-generation high school and college graduate from Ensley, Alabama, Dr. Hobbs understands the transformative power of education. He holds degrees from Jefferson State, the University of Alabama – Birmingham, and Mississippi State University, along with postgraduate studies in economics. Since taking office, Dr. Hobbs has spearheaded significant enrollment growth and expanded GHC’s career-focused bachelor’s degree offerings.

His dedication to student achievement has earned him the national Paragon Award, and his leadership has positioned GHC as a finalist for the prestigious $1 million Aspen Prize for student success and outcomes, further solidifying his impact on the college and the community it serves.

Second Case Of Chronic Wasting Disease Found In Georgia

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has confirmed a second case of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in a deer harvested in Berrien County, South Georgia. The infected deer, a 4.5-year-old male, was located approximately 400 yards from the site of the first CWD-positive deer found in the area. The sample was collected from a landowner permittee assisting with ongoing sampling efforts as part of the DNR’s CWD response plan. This discovery underscores the importance of continued monitoring and management strategies in the region. “Our staff continues to work in collaboration with landowners and hunters in the CWD Management Area to sample for the disease. These collaborative efforts will help us manage CWD and ensure Georgia maintains healthy deer herds,” said DNR Commissioner Walter Rabon. 

The CWD Management Area, which encompasses the county where positive samples are found and all counties within a 5-mile radius, will remain the same, including Lanier and Berrien counties. DNR officials are actively working with landowners and hunters to pinpoint the extent and prevalence of the disease within the designated area. This includes harvesting additional deer in the vicinity of CWD detections to minimize further spread.  CWD is a fatal neurological disease that affects deer, elk, and moose, caused by infectious, misfolded proteins known as prions. There are currently no known treatments or vaccines for the disease. It was first discovered in 1967 in Fort Collins, Colorado. The disease has been reported in 36 states and 5 Canadian provinces.

For updated information on the geographic distribution of CWD, visit cwd-info.org.

While there is no known transmission of CWD to humans, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that hunters harvesting deer, elk, or moose in areas known to have CWD should have their animals tested before consuming the meat. Consumption of meat from CWD-positive animals is not advised.

Patchy Fog This Morning - Chance Of Isolated Thunderstorms Into Thursday.

Drivers in Northwest Georgia are urged to exercise caution this morning as patchy, dense fog is expected to significantly reduce visibility. The National Weather Service advises motorists that visibility could be less than one-half of a mile in affected areas. The fog is expected to dissipate after 9 AM. Until then, drivers should slow down, use low-beam headlights, and maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. Later today, scattered thunderstorms are possible across portions of North Georgia. Despite the potential for storms, the day is expected to be partly sunny with a high of 80 degrees. Tonight, there is a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a low of 59 degrees. Patchy fog is expected to return on Thursday morning. Looking ahead to the rest of the week, isolated thunderstorms are forecast from Thursday through Sunday across portions of North and Central Georgia, with the highest chances in North Georgia. Forecasters currently do not expect widespread severe storms during this period.

Mysterious Respiratory Illness Spreading Among Dogs In Georgia

Veterinarians in Georgia are concerned about an increase in a mysterious respiratory illness affecting dogs. The Georgia Veterinary Medical Association (GVMA) has described this illness as an unidentified respiratory disease and is investigating its cause and treatment options. Veterinarians have noted the difficulty in diagnosis due to the unknown nature of the illness. Her clinic has treated about 15 dogs with symptoms over the last two months, which include a persistent cough similar to whooping cough and low energy levels. The lack of a clear diagnosis complicates tracking the illness’s spread, and it has shown resistance to standard antibiotic treatments, requiring multiple medication rounds. The outbreak seems to be linked to increased dog interactions at boarding and daycare facilities. As the illness is likely airborne, complete avoidance is hard. To protect their pets, veterinarians advise dog owners to keep vaccinations up-to-date and discuss risk factors with their veterinarian, as well as reduce exposure to busy dog areas. Most healthy dogs are expected to recover without issues, but extra care is needed for older dogs or those with existing heart or respiratory problems. Health officials urge dog owners to contact veterinarians if their pets show any signs of respiratory problems.

Georgia Power Plants Granted Exemption From Federal Emission Regulations

The Trump administration’s recent decision to grant exemptions from federal emission rules to over 60 power plants, including Plant Bowen and Plant Scherer in Georgia, has sparked controversy among clean energy advocates. The exemptions allow these plants to avoid mercury and other air pollutant regulations, which critics view as prioritizing the coal industry over environmental health. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the two-year exemption at Southern Co. ‘s request, citing a need for energy security. This decision contrasts with the Biden administration’s push for stricter toxic metal emission standards. Critics argue the exemptions threaten public health and hinder the shift to cleaner energy. Isabella Ariza from the Sierra Club and Keri Powell from the Southern Environmental Law Center have criticized this move, emphasizing the increased risk to local communities. Despite this, Southern Co. claims compliance with federal guidelines and seeks more time for adjustments. The debate on coal power’s future in Georgia continues.

Chattooga County Man Jailed For Speeding And Reckless Driving

Sample Image

What started as a rush to a child’s soccer game ended with a Chattooga County man behind bars. Cody Ray Harmon, 33, was arrested last Thursday, and charged with reckless driving and speeding after being clocked traveling at 97 mph in a 55 mph zone on Highway 27. According to the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office report, Deputy Gene Whitworth observed a white Kia Soul traveling north at a high rate of speed near Stoleman Road. Using radar, Deputy Whitworth clocked the vehicle at 97 mph. The report states Deputy Whitworth had to accelerate to 129 mph to catch up to the vehicle before initiating a traffic stop at the intersection of Hwy 27 South and Halls Valley Road. When questioned about his excessive speed, Harmon reportedly told Deputy Whitworth he was rushing to his son’s soccer game. He was then arrested, handcuffed, and transported to the Chattooga County Jail. Harmon was issued citations for Speeding 97/55 and Reckless Driving. His vehicle, a white 2020 Kia Soul with Georgia license plate SCP4133, was impounded and towed by Gill’s Wrecker Service.

Northwest Georgia Man Sentenced To 30 Years For Drug Trafficking

James Blevins, 34, of Ringgold, was sentenced to 30 years in prison, with the first 10 to be served without parole, after pleading guilty to trafficking and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. The conviction took place on February 25, 2025, in Catoosa County Superior Court. The case stemmed from an investigation led by Detective Chris Lyons of the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office. Evidence presented showed Blevins repeatedly sold fentanyl to individuals in the area. A subsequent search warrant executed at Blevins’ residence uncovered approximately 60 grams of fentanyl, a pill press, and over $10,000 in cash. Following his arrest, Blevins admitted to purchasing approximately one ounce of fentanyl weekly in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He then transported the drug back to Catoosa County where he would “cut” it and press it into two ounces of fentanyl pills, selling them locally for $100 per gram. Assistant District Attorney David Wolfe prosecuted the case, and Chief Judge Brian House presided over the guilty plea hearing. District Attorney Clayton M. Fuller, who has made combating fentanyl a top priority since taking office in March 2023, issued a strong statement following the sentencing. “I want to thank the relentless dedication to fight the scourge of fentanyl of Sheriff Gary Sisk and Detective Chris Lyons of the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office. Their exceptional work not only brought a criminal to account—it saved lives. Let this sentence be a warning to every fentanyl dealer: we are coming for you with the full force of the law.”

Disaster Training Simulation At GHC Today

Don’t be alarmed by increased activity at Georgia Highlands College’s Floyd County campus on Cedartown Highway today. Nursing students will be participating in a day-long Disaster Simulation Training Exercise designed to prepare them for real-world emergency situations. Second-year nursing students will be tasked with triaging actors portraying victims with a variety of injuries, testing their assessment and critical thinking skills under simulated pressure. The exercise is a collaborative effort made possible through the assistance of volunteers and local emergency management agencies, ensuring a realistic and valuable learning experience for the students. “The best way to prepare our nursing students for disasters is through simulation,” said Director of Nursing Rebecca Maddox. “By involving police and EMS in our simulation, students have the opportunity to work on their collaborative communication skills in addition to utilizing their critical thinking and assessment skills for triage and treatment.” The simulation provides a crucial opportunity for students to hone their skills in a safe and controlled environment, preparing them to effectively respond to future emergencies.
