Love was in the air on Feb. 12 for Grandview Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility residents and members of Campbellsville University baseball and softball programs.

Fifteen athletes took time off the diamond to participate in a Valentine's Day dance with the seniors. Activities Director Karen Reed said she is amazed at the response from residents the morning after the celebration.

Mark Johnson, back, fifth from left, was the guest speaker at Troop 616's recent Court of Honor at Bethel First Presbyterian Church.

Johnson, an Eagle Scout, encouraged the Boy Scouts and urged them to work hard and keep their eyes on becoming Eagle Scouts themselves.

Troop 616 will host an open house on Thursday, April 18, at Miller Park to demonstrate scouting skills and to recruit those interested in joining Boy Scouts.
