Letters: Looking for photo of Richland Township Hall in Beaverdam

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 19, 2014 - 2:48pm

Icon viewers:

I would like to know if anyone has a copy of the old Richland Township Hall that was located in Beaverdam.  The only picture that I have does not have the bell tower.

I would appreciate any help that you or anyone else might be able to give me
on this.

Beaverdam mayor

You can tell your grandchildren you remember when it was 19 below zero in the winter of '14

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 18, 2014 - 8:00pm

Nineteen degrees below zero.

Remember to tell your grandchildren this story some day. Perhaps they will believe you. The low temperature reading for Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2014. in the Bluffton-Ada area reached 19 degrees below zero, according to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.

And, it was one of seven of out eight days in a row with a minimum daily temperature of below zero.

The maximum temperatures during that eight-day stretch weren't much to brag about either. The high was only 30 on Wednesday, Feb. 13.
