Photo-story: St. Patrick's Day survey

It was a fine day for an impromptu, walking St. Patrick's Day survey in downtown Bluffton. The Icon walked from College to Elm, asking all and sundry to share their level of enthusiasm for the holiday.

2 - Needed to be reminded what day it was.

22 - Were wearing green, including one with a green pen in their pocket.

7 - Were planning to celebrate at a gathering or by going out.

12 - Expected to eat or drink something green. The jello cake to be served at the Senior Center dinner added greatly to this count.

14 - Said they were Irish.

Bike safety tips prompt a reality check

As an enthusiastic if fairly timid cyclist, I was interested to find a list of bicycle safety safety tips in the Icon’s inbox from the Allen County Health Department. With my “step through” ladies’ frame and wicker basket, I probably resemble Miss Gulch from the Wizard of Oz, minus the bright-eyed terrier captive. In a town the size of Bluffton, a bike is a great transportation option. In the days of $4/gallon gas, it’s looking even better.
