Life in Bluffton changed forever in 1987. It’s changing again.
In 1987 the Jerry Lewis family opened a McDonald’s Restaurant on State Route 103. Thirty-one years later the restaurant had its third make over and this one cost more than the original building.
The Jerry Lewis Family Restaurants held a grand opening of its more than $1 million upgrade to its flagship restaurant on Tuesday. The design theme is “wood and stone.”
The Village of Bluffton's first mosquito spraying of the summer starts tonight, (Wednesday, May 30), according to Jesse Blackburn, village administrator.
He told the Icon that spraying is scheduled for every Wednesday, if necessary. Spraying will begin around dusk.
Depending upon weather conditions if spraying does not take place on Wednesday, it will occur on Thursdays.
Maple Crest resident Oliver Lugibihl, MD, knows where the trees are and enjoys foraging for hickory nuts in late summer and early fall. This year, he has proof that his interest in one of Ohio’s indigenous nuts isn’t just a passing fancy.
“I’m now a card-carrying member of the Ohio Nut Growers Association,” he said proudly.
A retired family physician, Lugibihl “cultivated” an interest in hickory nuts and black walnuts several years ago. His cookies are a hit at bake sales run by the Service Group of Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO).
