Sunday afternoon is your chance to hear about John Dillinger's visit to Bluffton in 1933

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 19, 2015 - 11:40pm

You probably never met John Dillinger, but the next best thing – or worst thing – to Public Enemy number 1 will visit Bluffton on Sunday.

John Carnes of Lima, a Dillinger expert, will give several short descriptive talks about the John Dillinger bank robbery that took place on Main Street Bluffton in August of 1933.

Carnes will provide the talks during the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure (GOBA) visit to Bluffton on Sunday. His talks will start at 2 p.m. – he will repeat these a couple times during the afternoon.

Coyote spotted in Ada - no fooling

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 19, 2015 - 11:14pm

By Monty Siekerman, from the Ada Icon

I saw a coyote in Ada.

The critter was across the street from where I live on State Route 81. He was near a large walnut tree, just yards from the Baptist Church.

At first glance, he looked like a stray dog, which is not an unusual sight in this area of town where dogs escape their confines or are dropped off by bad owners and left to fend for themselves.

The animal and I made eye contact. Thinking it was a stray dog, I tried to coax it to me with a sack of cat food that I happened to have in my hand.
