I've been a full time Chiropractor in Bluffton, since May 19, 1975. Small
town pace suits me, I grew up about 2 miles outside of LaFayette.
As a small town businessman, I have always tried to run my business with one
goal in mind. Giving the best care I can to my patients, ALL patients, no
matter their age, race, gender, religious beliefs, or, POLITICAL affiliation.
None of that matters to me, or, influences my care to my patients in any
way.

A Hardin County wind turbine project is being placed east of Ada this fall.
• The turbines are gigantic compared to the three at ONU and the one at Ada Schools. The tower of these is 300 feet high, the blade is 150 feet long, thus when a blade is pointing up, the turbine reaches 450 feet from the ground.
