Lake Lanier Sinks to Lowest Level in Nearly a Decade, Boat Ramps Shut Down

Lake Lanier has dropped to its lowest water level in nearly a decade, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it has no choice but to keep releasing water through Buford Dam even as the lake gets almost no rain to refill it. Atlanta relies on Lake Lanier for drinking water, and with the region stuck in drought, officials have already begun shutting down boat ramps and warning paddlers and boaters to watch for hazards that are normally hidden underwater.

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

Gwinnett Sheriff's Office hands out Thanksgiving dinners

Thanksgiving is still two weeks away but Gwinnett families lined up at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville last Friday to go ahead and make sure they had their Turkey Day meals lined up already. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with Sheriff Keybo Taylor’s Keybo Building Bridges and Volunteer Gwinnett to stage the sixth annual Thanksgiving Food Giveaway last week. The annual event is designed to ensure families can get the key basics of a Thanksgiving meal so they will have a dinner to put on the table on Nov. 26. Families who came to the event, which operated on a first come, first served basis, got a frozen turkey as well as sides such as stuffing and vegetables. “Thank you, Gwinnett, GCSO and all our partners who made the Turkey Drive a success,” Taylor said in a statement on social media over the weekend. “We are a blessed community because of you.”

AROUND TOWN: Georgia's new agriculture commissioner is a Snellville resident

The Blue Wave that washed through statewide offices and made history last week included a Gwinnett County connection. Georgia’s new Agriculture Commissioner, Katherine Juhan-Arnold, is a Snellville resident who founded Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen. She defeated Republican incumbent Agiculture Commissioner Tyler Harper in last week’s elections and will be the first Black woman to hold the office. “The campaign may be over, but our work is just beginning,” Juhan-Arnold said after her victory. “We’re going to protect our farmers, strengthen our communities, stand up for consumers, protect our animals, steady our resources and build an Agriculture Department that works for every Georgian.” Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen was set up to operate as a nonprofit farm to help low income families have access to fresh fruit and vegetables. It also works with families through education to help them grow their own food. Juhan-Arnold ran on a “Grow Georgia” platform of supporting market access for Georgia farmers, investing in infrastructure such as broadband for farms, protecting farmland, addressing the rising cost to run a farm in Georgia, supporting farm-to-school programs and regional food hubs, expanding international markets for Georgia-grown products and ensuring Georgia’s poultry and livestock supplies remain healthy so
