The Butler County Conservation District hosted the Jim Claypool Art & Conservation Writing Contest awards reception at the Eva J. Hawes Community Building on Thursday afternoon. Soil Conservation District Chairman Shane Wells welcomed everyone and spoke briefly about the history of Soil Conservation District in the 1950's as a result of the Dust Bowl.
The main theme of the contest is conservation, but the focus changes annually, according to District Administrator Amanda Arnold: “ This year's theme was Backyard Adventures, Exploring The Trees In Your Hometown.”

On Saturday, March 4, Heath Ray, Refugee Program Coordinator with Community Action of Southern Kentucky, spoke at the March meeting of the United Methodist Women at the Morgantown First United Methodist Church in Morgantown.   Heath spent two years in Tanzania-South East Africa as a U.S. Peace Corp volunteer after college graduation. He learned Swahili, but doubted he would be able to find a use for it back home. As fate would have it, he overheard some people speaking Swahili in a store in Bowling Green, obviously confused.
