Knights defeat the Lions

During halftime of the Norwell girls' varsity basketball game with Leo Wednesday night, two teams from the Norwell Little Lady Squires League played for a few minutes. The girls wearing light blue shirts are the UConn team and the ones in dark blue are on the Stanford team. This is an instructional league focused on developing basketball interest in elementary age girls and help build the high school program.

New member appointed to DNR-related boards

Indiana DNR Release:



Will Ditzler, president and CEO of JFNew, an ecological services firm, and an avid outdoorsman, was appointed to the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation and the Indiana Heritage Trust boards late last month.

Ditzler joined JFNew in 1992. He became president and chief executive officer in 2001, and chairman of the board in 2002. He works closely with clients and strategic partners in projects involving large-scale ecological restoration, mitigation banking and conservation easements, experience DNR director Robert E. Carter Jr. said will greatly benefit the two organizations.

"Will's experience and influence add even more credibility to these two distinguished groups," Carter said. "We are pleased that he is able to work with us."

INRF is an Indiana not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support and sustain the educational and scientific programs of the Indiana DNR. IHT buys land from willing sellers to protect Indiana's rich natural heritage for wildlife habitat and recreation.

JFNew has been working with challenging environmental issues for more than 20 years throughout the Midwest. It operates one of the largest native plant nurseries in the nation with more than 355 available species.
