Letter: A request to persons on Bluffton pathways

Please keep your distance at 6 feet
Posted by Fred Steiner on March 31, 2020 - 3:44pm

Bluffton friends:
The bike paths are not wide enough for 2 couples to walk past each other 6 ft apart.

Three people walking side by side while pushing a baby carriage is not 6 ft of physical distancing.

Walkers, joggers, bikers in single file, with 6 ft of separation from the person in front and behind you would allow users of the bike paths to pass each other.

Some communities/cities have closed bike paths because physical distancing is not being maintained. Discuss among yourselves.

We have spent countless hours playing every scenario possible to make things work, but being able to provide our employees (our friends/family) with what they need to make ends meet just isn't possible at this time. It has been extremely difficult the last couple of days as we prepare our locations for this temporary shutdown. 

The thought of not being able to provide the personal service to our patrons, truthfully our friends and family that we have grown to know and love over the years, is a tough pill to swallow.

Superintendents for Ada, Upper Scioto Valley, Kenton, Hardin Northern, Ridgemont and Midwest Regional ESC last week posted a letter to citizens of Hardin County stating that Ohio’s growing EdChoice voucher program threatens to undermined the system of public education in Ohio.

Stating several facts about taxes and the voucher program, the letter states:

“Vouchers cost $4,650 for K-8 students and $6,000 each year for high school students, taking money from the public schools to pay for private and parochial tuition.

Letter: Impressed by the sportsmanship of your team and student body

Posted by LizGH on January 9, 2020 - 2:15pm

Icon viewers:

I wanted to send you an email to tell you how impressed I was by the sportsmanship of not only your team, but your student body. My wife and I sat directly behind your junior high basketball players at the top of the student section. I was very impressed by how well behaved, polite, and respectful all of them were before, during, and after the game. They even said nice things about Mr. Hanna when we were joking around with them at halftime.

Sincerely,

Letter: What problem can we help you solve?

Girl Scouts ask residents of area retirement house developments

Did you know? 

Residents at Bluffton area retirement housing developments were asked by a local Girl Scout troop "What problem could we help you solve?" The residents said: Better snow and ice removal so that we can get around in the winter.

When you look at snow and ice conditions at your place of business, could you navigate the area with a walker, cane, wheelchair, or stroller?

It is our responsibility and a good business practice to promptly remove snow from sidewalks and parking lots.
