On June 10, the USDA announced on its website that it as invested $18.6 million in the City of Jasper for major sewer infrastructure improvements.

According to the announcement, a $15.7 million USDA loan, combined with a nearly $3 million grant, was used to expand and modernize the cityโ€™s water pollution control plant. The project has doubled the facilityโ€™s treatment capacity to 1.56 million gallons per day.

In preparation for the expansion, the City of Jasper had installed nearly two miles of 16-inch pipe to direct treated water to a newly permitted discharge location under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. This project is expected to help the city meet projected residential and commercial growth while continuing to protect public health and the environment.

Mayor Kirk D. Raffield was quoted as saying:

โ€œWe are thankful for the partnership with USDA Rural Development and their investment in our community. The City of Jasper remains committed to partnerships and projects ensuring our communityโ€™s vitality and future.โ€

The USDA Rural Developmentโ€™s Water & Waste Disposal Loan & Grant Program is designed to help rural communities fund clean and reliable drinking water systems, sanitary sewage disposal, solid waste disposal, and stormwater drainage infrastructure for rural households and businesses.

A big win for the City of Jasper.

A once prominent Atlanta area financial advisor and former radio host remains one of the FBIโ€™s most wanted fugitives after disappearing nearly six years ago amid allegations of a multi-million-dollar investment fraud scheme.

According to todayโ€™s โ€œMost Wanted Fraudsterโ€ FBI-Atlanta Facebook Post, 43 year old Christopher W. Burns, is wanted for his involvement in a mail fraud scheme that investigators say defrauded dozens of victims out of at least $10 million. The FBI is currently offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction.

Before his disappearance, Burns was a well-known figure in Georgiaโ€™s financial community. He served as CEO of Dynamic Money and hosted The Chris Burns Show on WSB Radio, where he discussed financial planning and investment strategies. According to the SEC, Burns purchased airtime for the program and was not an employee of WSB Radio.

Federal prosecutors allege that Burns operated several businesses, including Dynamic Money, Investus Advisers, Investus Financial, and Peer Connect. According to court filings, investors were told their money would be used in a low-risk โ€œpeer-to-peerโ€ lending program backed by collateral and personal guarantees. Authorities say those representations were false and that investor funds were instead used to repay earlier investors, support business operations, and fund Burnsโ€™ personal lifestyle.

The investigation came to a head in September 2020. Burns reportedly disappeared on September 24, 2020, one day before he was scheduled to provide documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of an ongoing investigation. His vehicle was later found abandoned in Dunwoody, Georgia. Despite efforts by law enforcement, Burns has not been located.

In 2020, authorities charged Burns with mail fraud. A federal grand jury later returned an indictment charging him with multiple counts of wire fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering related to the scheme.

The FBI describes Burns as 6โ€™2โ€ tall, approximately 240 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He is a registered investment advisor and has a tattoo on his left forearm consisting of three black interlaced triangles. His last known residence was in Berkeley Lake, Georgia.

Anyone with information regarding Burnsโ€™ whereabouts is encouraged to contact the FBI or submit a tip through the agencyโ€™s website. The FBI continues to seek information from potential victims and members of the public who may know where Burns is located.

As with all criminal cases, the charges against Burns are allegations, and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

We recently had the opportunity to tour the Save The Horses Ranch right here in Pickens County. Founded by Cheryl Flanagan, Save the Horses is a 40-acre nonprofit rescue and boarding facility that works closely with North Georgia animal control agencies and the Georgia Department of Agriculture to provide care for animals in need.

While horses are at the heart of the organization, the ranch is home to much more. During our visit, we met donkeys, a zonkey (a zebra-donkey hybrid), chickens, goats, llamas, pig, and sheep. Every animal on the property has a unique story and a second chance at life.

The horses themselves represent a wide variety of breeds, ranging from Draft Horses and Paso Finos to even some of former President Jimmy Carterโ€™s draft mules. Itโ€™s truly a special place filled with dedicated volunteers and remarkable animals.

This Saturday, June 6, the Talking Rock Bronco Stampede will be donating a portion of the event proceeds to Save the Horses. If youโ€™re planning to attend, consider purchasing a shirt, enjoying the festivities, and bringing your Bronco to support a great cause.

You can also make a direct donation or learn more about the organization by visiting their website.

Save the Horses is always looking for volunteers. Cheryl shared that they especially enjoy working with veterans, providing an opportunity to spend time with the animals, connect with others, and enjoy the peaceful environment of the ranch.

A big thank you to Cheryl Flanagan for taking the time to show us around and share the incredible work being done for animals across North Georgia.
