2009 Annual Meeting Held

 

The Fayette County Soil & Water Conservation District held its 64th Annual Meeting on Thursday, February 19th at the American Legion Hall in Vandalia with 182 people in attendance.  Entertainment for the evening was provided by the World Bird Sanctuary giving a presentation on “Birds of Prey”. 
 

Two directors were elected to a two-year term: Gale Meseke was re-elected and Liz Heinzmann was elected to replace Steve Henna.

Presentation of awards followed the election.  The Conservation Farm Family award is sponsored by the First National Bank of Vandalia, and this year’s recipients are Jim and Tim Hardimon from Herrick.  Their conservation efforts include a continuous 0-till system on a corn, soybeans rotation.  They also use terraces and grass waterways to help control erosion and maintain water quality.  
 

The Conservation Poster Contest winners were then presented with their Savings Bonds and trophies.  This contest is sponsored by the First National Bank of Brownstown.  The theme this year was, “Dig It! The Secrets of Soil”.  The first place winner was Abby Hahn, from South Central School.  She is the daughter of Barry and Audra Hahn.  Second place was won by Shawnee Street from Brownstown School.  She is the daughter of Taffy Street.  Third place went to Jaisa Wehrle from Vandalia Grade School.  Her parents are James and Dacia Wehrle.
 

The next award presented was a traveling trophy for the Soil Judging Contest.  This competition involves schools from Fayette, Effingham, and Marion Counties.  This year’s winner was St. Elmo.  Team members included: Dylan Bullard, Blake Wright, Zeke Asher, Weston Parks, and Mitch Buzzard.  Their advisor is Bill Wagner.
 

The next award was given for the Envirothon Logo contest.  The winner of the $100 Savings Bond for designing the Logo to go on this year’s Envirothon competition tee shirts was Stacy White, daughter of David and Lynette White.
 

Lee Schaal, retired county board member, was presented with an engraved clock for his work on the county board finance committee to help fund the Fayette County Soil & Water Conservation District.
 

Finally, Steve Henna was then given an engraved clock in appreciation for his six years of service on the district board.
