Schnauzerfest barks up new tree; announces move to Helen

Tails were drooping across Rome and Floyd County as Schnauzerfest organizers announced they are moving the event to Helen next year and that this year’s event was the last in Rome. Schnauzerfest Executive Director Hugh Tyner announced the move to city officials this week after a challenging decision-making process. “On behalf of everyone at Schnauzerfest, and from me personally, thank you for giving our festival a home in Rome for seven wonderful years,” Tyner said. “I’ll always remember what it felt like to see Broad Street fill with schnauzers and their families that first year.” This year’s event was the seventh Schnauzerfest and another success. It spanned two days and drew 731 schnauzers to Rome, according to Tyner. Along with the surge in schnauzers, the gathering drew pet owners from throughout the country, including a family from Washington state, a record distance for the event. Tyner came up with the idea for a schnauzer festival seven years ago when he was looking for a similar event and couldn’t find one. His wife suggested that if he couldn’t find a schnauzer event, maybe he should make one in Rome. And Schnauzerfest was born. Tyner did not give an official reason for

Two Gwinnett school board members speak out on retention bonuses

Two Gwinnett County school board members are, in their individual capacities, addressing teachers concerns on the retention bonuses that educators found out they would not receive this week. Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan and Board member Rachel Stone reiterated Gwinnett County Public Schools’ stance that the bonuses were always contingent on whether the district received funding from the state to pay the teachers. They were quick to point out they were not speaking on behalf of the entire board, however. “Right now, social media is full of anger, rumors, and half-truths,” Johnson-Morgan said. “Some of it comes from real pain. Some of it is meant to divide us: teachers against leaders, and neighbors against public schools.” GCPS officials told teachers on Monday that they would not receive retention bonuses this year because there was no funding to pay for it. The announcement quickly took off on social media after district officials accidentally sent it to parents as well as educators. District officials told the Daily Post that the message, which was signed by Chief Financial Officer Masana Mailliard and Interim Chief Human Resources J.W. Mozley, stands as the district’s official statement on the retention bonus issue. “The supplement was contingent on
