AN OPINION PIECE

The problem with Donald Trump’s “fire and fury” statement on North Korea isn’t merely that it intensifies an already tense situation.  Nor is it just another example of Trump’s inappropriate, childish language when faced with a complex issue.

Bluffton's 4th annual National Night Out - one huge success

Part 2

How do you top this? You don’t.

The Bluffton Police Department, in conjunction with the Pandora Police Department, and participation from Bluffton, Beaverdam-Richland Township and Pandora Fire and EMS Departments threw a party - and everyone came.

It was our 4th annual National Night Out at the Bluffton Community Swimming Pool on Aug. 1.

LOTS OF GREAT PHOTOS BELOW -

Were there more than 2,500 who attended? Probably.

The staff at Lu Lu's, 114 E. College, Ave., is known for creating interesting messages on the restaurant's marquee. Here's the lastest.

The saga of the loose chicken continues.

He now has a name: Richard the Rooster.

He can be found in the 500 block of South Johnson Street, Ada.

About 10 days ago, the rooster was first spotted on East Lehr Avenue. People took pictures of him, watched his antics, even called the police to try to catch the stray.

Yes, there's something odd about this photo.

But check out the two photos below and see the point of this photo exercise.

It's a before and after or, better still a during and after of East College Avenue. The before/during photo was taken Monday. The after was taken Wednesday.

FROM ADA ICON - Dan and Randy Garver of Fine Touch Furniture, Ada, make it look so easy. Here they pose with a recently completed project.
