Agencies include Boys and Girls Club, Hospice Care, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Scouts, Visiting Nurses, and Rape Victim Survivors Service.

Planning Commission Briefs on Horizon 2020 Rezoning
Commissioners split 6-3 as rezoning was approved despite concerns it violates Horizon 2020 which governs growth area boundaries. Critics say it undercuts public policy while supporters cite messaging to county officials to curb 5-acre exemptions outside urban growth. A public hearing on the East Lawrence Neighborhood Plan is set for July 26.

Bees Move Hive and Honey After Beekeeping Rescue
Johnson and crew in full bee keeper regalia extract a two part nest from a ceiling. One part with all larvae is placed with the hive's queen, the other with 40 to 100 pounds of honey is stored to feed bees through winter. The bees will return to the hive at sundown and be collected later. Ogden notes the workers have removed a two foot square ceiling hive with hundreds of bees. The hive box will be moved to a farm with nearly 50 other hive boxes. No one has been stung yet at the house.
