Good morning, Gainesville.

Local farmers markets and backyard gardeners are now offering North Georgia tomatoes, which were scarce early in the year (according to a local column) and give residents a fresh taste of homegrown produce.

Hall County Schools named Noel Cochran as the new principal of North Hall Middle School today.

He will begin his role soon to support the school’s students and staff.

A suspected harmful algae bloom was reported by the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper in a small cove on Lake Lanier near Cumming on Sunday, June 7.

Officials advise lake users (people and pets) to avoid contact with water that is discolored or has a foul odor.

Chattahoochee Riverkeeper issued a Swimming Safety Alert after a suspected algae bloom was reported in a cove at Lake Lanier's Six Mile Embayment.
