Members the Bluffton fire department answered the call to that request all afternoon on Sunday at the Bluffton Dairy Freeze. Jon Kinn, fire chief, said that the department raised over $350 taking orders and making cones for Bill and Phyllis Marschal's customers.
"It's not our calling, but we did have fun," Kinn admits about the fundraiser. He said that only one cone was dropped during the afternoon.
You probably noticed our new logo on the top of our home page. It's one of the changes and additions we are working on this summer.
Since there's no text book on how to create a news website, we've sort of created our own. One element that we overlooked until now is a "hortizonal" logo.
There's a difference between "fresh" corn and corn picked the same morning. You can measure it by time zones.
I know. Jerry Suter told me. I watched his crew pick corn this morning. By now that corn, picked a couple hours ago, is being sold in those familiar red trailers in Bluffton, Pandora, Lima, Findlay, Kenton, Wapakoneta, and some other towns that I can't remember.
"Fresh picked" is a grocery term as Jerry sees its. It really means one, two, three or more days old. Not Suter corn. The corn you buy today is picked today.
Sorry about that. We didn't mean to mess up your day. You know, no Icon on the internet Tuesday morning.
Fact is we are making some changes - for the better - and like that interstate in Los Angeles, felt it was easier to take the Icon off line while improvements were made.
We took The Icon off line on Monday evening, hoping to be live first thing Tuesday morning. You know how that works. It was more like noon on Tuesday and you probably still see some glitches.
Never fear. These will go away and we will soon share with you several new pieces in the works.

Seems like a very long time since we've been to a movie theater, despite the fact that we have such a great one here in town. This is not my husband's choice. In fact, he is usually game to join me at whatever movie I mention wanting to see, including the improperly dubbed "chick flicks".
