Letter: Thoughts about my old neighbor, Bob Wilch

Posted by Staff on September 13, 2024 - 6:00am

By Fred Steiner

We didn’t know how lucky we were.

No. In my adolescent years, the kids in my Lawn Avenue-Elm Street neighborhood did not know how lucky we were. That’s because Bob Wilch, an adult, but a kid at heart, lived in our neighborhood.

Trust me, he was the friendliest adult to kids – outside of our parents – who you could imagine. I thought about him recently when I read his obituary on The Icon.

Letter: Allen Soil and Water Conservation District urges you to adopt your storm drain

Posted by Staff on July 18, 2024 - 7:25am

By Casey Heilman
AllenSWCD District Administrator  

Taking care of storm drains is not only important to reducing flooding but is also  important to the health of the Ottawa River [and in Bluffton to the Maumee River]. The Allen Soil and Water Conservation  District is urging you to “adopt” the storm drain in front of your home. Make it part  of your weekly lawn maintenance to check your storm drain. By taking care of this  drain, you can help reduce the amount of debris entering [these watersheds].
