It was 101 degrees but that didn’t stop 65 farmers and land owners from attending our Soil Health Field Day at Burkholder Healthy Farms in Cairo, Ohio.

Our field day was in partnership with Cargill and American Farmland Trust. We discussed soil health practices such as no till, planting cover crops, carbon sequestration, water infiltration, seed treatment options and much more.

The Blanchard Valley Health System Board of Trustees recently selected William Hopkins, MD, as its newest member to serve on its board, as well as on the BVHS Finance Committee.

Dr. Hopkins attended The Ohio State University as an undergraduate student majoring in microbiology. He went to medical school at the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo, Ohio and completed his residency at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Dr. Hopkins then joined the Blanchard Valley Health System medical staff in 1996 and has been practicing at Findlay Family Practice since that time.

More than forty organizations--businesses and non-profits--stuffed the cinch saks given out at the 2022 Bluffton Ride to Remember hosted by the Bluffton Lions Foundation.

If you were too tired or too wet to dig into your cinch sack on Saturday, here's what you'll find. Handy gadgets including a clip-on safety light and reflector. Snacks. Pens and a pencil. Key rings. Glasses cleaners and lip balm. Coupons. LOTS of coupons, including one for $50 off. Cinch sack coordinator Jenny Pilarowski estimates that the total value is $190.

Effective August 1st, 2022, Dr. Robert E. James, DC, will be moving his office to 900 N Main St, Suite B, Bluffton.

Dr. James will be sharing office space with Dr. Jason Simpson. Each will still have their own private practices. They are sharing office space, not becoming partners.

Dr. Simpson is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays by appointment.
