We invited Icon viewers to guess the location of this Bluffton photo. Every once in a while we need to toss in a difficult photo - and by the entries submitted, this was a stumper.
The correct answer is not:
• Bluffton Community Swimming Pool (many contestants thought it was)
• nor is it found at the Bluffton elementary school
Both were great guessed and make sense. However, this image is in one of the Bluffton Hospital OR rooms.
Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO) hosted its annual Pastor Appreciation Luncheon at Maple Crest Senior Living Village on Oct. 18.
Elders invited their pastors and sat with them for the meal. In all, 23 pastors attended, and the Patio Room at Maple Crest was at capacity.
According to Chris Moser, director of resource development and church relations, the purpose of the luncheon was to honor pastors for their dedication to MHCO elders and their families. “Pastors are a great source of support and comfort for our elders,” Moser said.
Senior Doniven Clark (Toledo Bowsher) has been named the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Football Player of the Week on defense after leading Bluffton to a 13-0 shutout at Anderson.
He is the second Beaver to earn HCAC Player of the Week honors following Adam Duncan who was the Special Teams Player of the Week following his 13 points scored at Trine.
This looks like a fun way to learn number values. Roll the dice, check out the number and then fill in its value on a coloring sheet. This is an activity in the Bluffton Child Development Center pre-Kindergarten class.
