Bullfrogs & Butterflies Child Development Center installed Playsafer Rubber Mulch on their playground on May 28. The installation was made possible through a matching grant from the Kentucky Division of Waste Management.

Dee Hutchins, an eight-year teaching veteran at LaRue County High School, resigned May 1, opting to take an early retirement.

Hutchins, social studies department chair and former head boy’s basketball coach, taught U.S. history, world civilizations and street law. He served also as a part-time professor at Campbellsville University.

Hutchins coached boy’s basketball from 1999 to 2005 at LCHS.

“I’ve enjoyed this aspect of my life and now I’m ready to travel new roads,” said Hutchins.
