ASHLAND, Va. â Elizabeth Neal Davenport, better known as Betty, of the Chatham Garden Club, is the winner of the 2021 de Lacy Gray Memorial Medal for Conservation. The award was presented at the Garden Club of Virginia annual meeting hosted by the Ashland Garden Club on May 5.
This award was first presented in 1965 as a memorial to de Lacy Thompson Gray. It is presented to an individual member or member club of the Garden Club of Virginia in recognition of outstanding effort to further the knowledge of our natural resources and encourage their wise use.
Proposed by the Chatham Garden Club, Betty has played a central role in transforming a thirteen hundred acre tract of land on her farm, Banister Bend Farm, into a nature preserve. The goal of the preserve has been to construct, restore and preserve wildlife habitat with a mix of streams, riparian areas, wetlands and adjacent uplands which further enhance and compliment the functions of the Banister River and Stinking Creek.

SARATOGA SPRINGS – A local bank was the high bidder for Saratoga County’s former office building at 31 Woodlawn Ave. in downtown Saratoga Springs, which the county is selling through an online auction.
Adirondack Trust Company, with offices less than a block away, bid $2.8 million for the property. The county Board of Supervisors’ Buildings and Grounds Committee on Thursday recommended the board accept the bid at its meeting later this month.
“I think we’re very happy with the amount for the bid, it was a little more than we were expecting,” said committee Chairman Matthew Veitch, R-Saratoga Springs.

INDIANA AREA BUILDINGS & GROUNDS COMMITTEE TO EXPLORE EISENHOWER OPTIONS By Hometown1

The Buildings & Grounds Committee of the Indiana Area School Board will meet tonight and at the top of the agenda will be the fire-damaged Eisenhower Elementary School.
In an appearance on
Indiana In the Morning on WCCS this week, Superintendent Michael Vuckovich said the district will work with a sense of urgency to come up with a plan to get the school back in service, but at the same time will be deliberate. He says it’s more important to come up with a plan to address all of the Eisenhower school’s issues than to just rush to get it open again.
