Here is a photo taken of a tractor-trailer fire by Jeff Laing this morning at 5:25 a.m. at the Beaverdam Interstate 75 exit. The Icon does not have any other detail of the fire at this time.

James Crawfis of Beaverdam took one last visit to the former Beaverdam town hall three days prior to it being razed.

Here's what he told The Icon about the visit:

"These are some of the pictures I took (and one old one from the 1920s sometime). The picture with the stairs is from the opening of the very front door.  My Dad (Gary) said the last time he was upstairs in the town hall was a good 40 years ago.

Peter Suter of Shannon Theatre announced that "Ice Age: Continental Drift" (PG) will be shown at the theatre from July 20-26.
Show times follow:
2D - Each evening at 7 PM with Saturday and Sunday matinees at 1:30.
3D - Each evening at 9:30 PM with Saturday and Sunday matinees at 4 PM.

Marcus Meyers (center) receives his diploma and congratulations from Dr. James Harder, Bluffton University president, during Bluffton's commencement ceremony on May 6. Aiding Meyers is one of his 2011-12 personal care assistants on campus, fellow student Evan Skilliter.

Bluffton University's small size and Christian atmosphere were among the selling points that brought Marcus Meyers to campus as a transfer student in fall 2010.
But after arriving, the Holland, Ohio, resident also saw something else, not obvious to most students, that he says made his two years at Bluffton a life-changing experience.
