You can't keep a good girl down. What would depress and ruin many, she used as a flotation device to give her purpose and direction.  Listen to this Centennial graduate and Champaign native talk about a 98' boating accident on Clinton Lake, seeking justice without any resolution, finding and using prosthetics, taking an athletic background and finding a new outlet with sitting volleyball, her incredible Paralympics history, her engagement and her current position for the City of Champaign. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong crowd, I can think of a hundred near-miss moments like the one Nichole describes on the lake that summer.

Cobb Passes $1.3 Billion Budget, Keeps Millage Rate Flat in Partisan Votes The Cobb County Board of Commissioners has made a significant budget decision. Despite public calls for a rollback in the millage rate and reductions in the general fund budget, the Board voted to pass a $1.3 billion budget and maintain the current millage rate. The vote was split along partisan lines, with a 3-2 outcome. Commissioners Keli Gambrill and JoAnn Birrell, both Republicans, opposed the budget and millage rate, citing concerns over excess revenue collection. While the tax rates will stay flat at 8.46 mills for the general fund and 2.99 mills for the fire fund, rising home values will result in an additional $22.6 million in general fund property tax revenue and $11.7 million more for the fire fund compared to last year. Chairwoman Lisa Cupid highlighted the importance of understanding the numbers tied to the budget's "impact items," which include an $8.4 million step-and-grade plan for public safety personnel.

Organized by the Daughters of the American Revolution Hightower Trail Chapter, the ceremony commemorated the victims with prayers, eulogies, and a wreath-laying at Wells' headstone. The event coincided with similar ceremonies nationwide for the other victims of the Chattanooga shooting. Wells, a Marine enlisted in 2014, was remembered for his service and contributions to his community, including having a post office and park named in his honor in Cobb County. His family was not present at the ceremony, and efforts continue to reach out to them in remembrance of their son's sacrifice. STORY 3: Delegate Diary:'… the best day ever.'

From the Ingles Studios this is your news minute on the Cherokee Tribune Ledger podcast presented by Engineered Solutions of Georgia. Today is Monday July 24th and I'm Brian Giffin. The Canton City Council voted unanimously to maintain the millage rate at 5.4 mills, resulting in higher tax bills for residents with increased home values. The rate has remained unchanged for seven years and is the lowest in the city's history. For a home valued at $300,000, the estimated tax increase would be $72 at the 5.4 millage rate. Canton currently has a senior property tax exemption that exempts taxes for up to $280,000, which was established 20 years ago by a public referendum vote. To make changes to this exemption, a new referendum would be required, potentially impacting the 30% of owner-occupied properties using the exemption. City Manager Billy Peppers and other city managers in Cherokee County have proposed a separate 1% Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) referendum to alleviate tax burdens for homeowners. This new sales tax would complement the existing Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax and Ed-SPLOST, potentially reducing the tax burden for Cherokee County residents, especially considering that about 30% of sales taxes come from out-of-county residents.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Wednesday July 5 Publish Date: Monday July 3 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast Today is Wednesday July 5th , and happy 73rd birthday to singer Huey Lewis ****Lewis 73****   I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Mall Of Georgia Chrysler Dodge Jeep 1. Gwinnett County Public Schools will hold first 2023 millage rate hearing on Wednesday 2. Chattahoochee River closure expanded amid sewage spill 3. Breakthrough may lead to individualized breast cancer treatments   Plus, Leah McGrath of Ingles Markets talks with Bruce Jenkins about cutting back on soda.   All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.   Break 1 : Slappey   Story 1. millage   Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia will hold public hearings regarding the proposed millage rate for school taxes. The school board has tentatively adopted a 19.2-mill maintenance and operations millage rate and a 1.45-mill debt service millage rate, maintaining the rates at their 2022 levels. The millage rates fund the school system's day-to-day operations and pay down long-term debt from bond referenda. The rates determine property tax amounts, with the school system's millage rate comprising the largest portion. Despite the rates remaining the same, increased property values will result in higher school taxes. The hearings aim to gather community feedback.   STORY 2: sewage   Federal authorities have closed sections of the Chattahoochee River in Cobb and Fulton counties due to a sewage spill in Roswell causing high levels of E. coli bacteria. The closure includes all areas of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area south of the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Water quality tests have revealed E. coli levels exceeding the recommended limit for recreation. The park is collaborating with Chattahoochee Riverkeeper and local authorities to address the spill and has reported it to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. Direct contact with the affected areas should be avoided until further notice to prevent health risks associated with E. coli infection. Story 3: Scientists have made a breakthrough in identifying genetic mutations that explain why some patients with the most common form of breast cancer do not respond to treatment. The study specifically focused on estrogen receptor-positive, HER2 (ER+/HER2) breast cancer, which is typically treated with hormonal therapies. The research found that around 20% of tumors resist treatment from the start, and up to 40% develop resistance over time. The findings suggest that personalized breast cancer treatments could be developed based on a person's genetic makeup. This discovery is particularly significant for young women, who are more likely to develop aggressive tumors......……..we'll be right back   Break 2: M.O.G. - Tom Wages - Obits     Story 4: Bice   Roger Bice, a Grayson resident, has been teaching piano and voice lessons for 50 years, impacting students around the world. He was recently honored for his five decades of music education by the Lawrenceville-Suwanee School of Music. Bice's musical career includes teaching at various levels, performing at prestigious venues, and serving as a worship pastor. He has had notable experiences such as performing at Carnegie Hall and entertaining at the Biltmore Estate. Despite being 72 years old, Bice has no plans to retire and continues to teach part-time while expressing his love for music and desire to celebrate 60 years in the field.   Story 5: health   New research from the University of Georgia reveals that foods like melon, peppers, pumpkin, and corn, along with carrots, can improve vision in low-light conditions. These foods contain lutein and zeaxanthin, compounds that accumulate in the retina and enhance eye health and functional vision. Athletes, in particular, benefit from improved visual range, which allows them to see targets clearly over a distance. Lutein and zeaxanthin act as filters to prevent blue light interference and can enhance athletes' ability to track objects against the sky in sports like baseball. However, the absorption and effects of these compounds vary among individuals, and it may take time to notice any improvements. Nonetheless, the potential benefits for athletes are significant.   Story 6: Tobin   Former Arizona Cardinals head coach and defensive coordinator Vince Tobin passed away at the age of 79. The cause of death was not disclosed. Tobin had a mixed tenure as head coach of the Cardinals from 1996 to 2000, compiling a record of 28-43. He led the team to one winning season in 1998, which included a playoff victory. Prior to his head coaching role, Tobin served as the defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears from 1986 to 1992, working under Mike Ditka. He also held defensive coordinator positions in the CFL, USFL, Indianapolis Colts, and Detroit Lions. Tobin was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 2008.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: Fernbank (nature of color spot) -ESOG – Ingles 3     Story 7: Leah   And Now, Leah McGrath of Ingles Markets talks with us about cutting back on soda   ****Leah****   We'll have final thoughts after this   Break 4: Lawrenceville Henssler 60 Thanks again for listening to today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.
