A massive congratulations to them.
A group of students from Donegal have picked up the top prize in 2020 s Junk Kouture competition.
Brónach Harkin, Robyn O’Donnell and Orlaith Doherty emerged victorious this week as their gown, ‘Synergy , made from sea glass, plastic milk cartons and smashed jam jars wowed the judges in the highly competitive competition.
Over 80 finalists were involved in this week s televised Junk Kouture final, hoping to be crowned the winners of the recycled fashion contest.
Inspired by Elie Saab, the winning fish tail gown was created by the Carndonagh Community School students, who spent months collecting sea glass to sew onto the dress, creating glass panelling, and smashing recycled glass from jam jars to sprinkle on top of the creation.
The City of Suwanee has named a new police chief and a new city clerk following the recent retirements of two 20+ year city employees.
Cass Mooney, who had served as deputy chief for the Suwanee Police Department, took the reins as chief of police on Feb. 1, 2021. He fills a position left vacant by the retirement of Mike Jones.
Jones spent 23 years with the City of Suwanee and a total of 47 years in law enforcement, according to a statement from city officials. During Jones tenure, the Suwanee Police Department more than doubled in size. The department was accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies in 2010 – one of just 56 in Georgia – and in 2016, the department was named the Phyllis Goodwin Agency of the Year by the Georgia Chapter of the FBI National Academy Associates. Jones was also named Outstanding Chief of the Year by the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police in 2018.
