Maple Crest residents got a big kick out of riding up and down the rows of machines in a sulky pulled by TR Steiner’s tractor. For all who participated, the experience was a reminder of our agricultural heritage, and for many, it was an opportunity to relive farming moments in their personal histories.

Area history buffs may now purchase a two-sided Delano Morey challenge coin from the Hardin County Historical Museum, Kenton. Coins are $20 each.

Morey was a member of the 82nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry (or 82nd OVI) an infantry regiment in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for action at McDowell, Virginia, May 8, 1862. 

According to the historical society, the supply of coins is very limited.

Who cares about the Model T’s.! (this week's historical Bluffton photo). Check out the 1958 Chevy Impala convertible (with top down) in front of Niswander’s newsstand. The color is Black Onyx. It has wide white wall tires, fender skirts and a Continental tire on the extended bumper.

Sloppy play and defense dominated at Spencerville as the Pirates fell 22-0 to go to 3-4 on the season. Each team fumbled fives each and also lost three of those fumbles. There were also nine total turnovers in the game.

The first quarter went scoreless as both teams traded punts until Spencerville scored with a six-yard TD pass in the second to go up 6-0.

The Pirate defense held strong for the rest of the half but the offense could not get going as the team turned the ball over four times in the first half.
