May 8, 2013 — Conservation Poster Contest Winners
Three seventh-graders from Margaret Bell Miller Middle School in Waynesburg recently won the Greene County Conservation District’s Conservation Poster Contest.
The winners are Janvi Patel, first place; Emily Corbett, second place; and Lisa Montgomery, third place. The contest was sponsored at the middle school through the National Junior Honor Society. Jillian McGowan, math teacher, is the NJHS faculty sponsor.
Patel’s poster will be judged at the state level through the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, and state winners in five different grade categories will advance to the National Conservation Poster Contest later this year.
Sponsored by the National Association of Conservation Districts and the NACD Auxiliary, the annual poster contest provides students in kindergarten through 12th grade the opportunity to create artwork about soil, water and other natural resource issues.
This year’s theme is "Where Does Your Water Shed?", which is also the theme of National Soil and Water Stewardship Week from May 5-12.
National Soil and Water Stewardship Week recognizes that fertile soil and clean water provide daily sustenance as well as security, and that effective conservation practices and stewardship have resulted in a richer standard of living.
For more information, call the Conservation District at 724-852-5278.

The 203-year-old building — which was purchased by the County in December 2010 and fully renovated by Waller Corp. beginning in May 2012 — now contains six single-occupancy apartments for individuals left temporarily homeless. Continue reading... here.
