Winter is right around the corner and many homeowners are taking advantage of the unseasonably warm temperatures to complete autumn yard maintenance before the ground freezes. This includes the last-minute application of fertilizer onto lawns.
Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO) is thrilled to announce the success of its 3rd Annual Gala, held earlier this month. MHCO's Gala is a fundraising event to benefit the Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio Benevolent Care Fund, which provides support to care for older adults who have outlived their resources.
We can’t thank the Bluffton EMS enough for their timely response in several scary situations over the past five years. The EMT’s have always been professional, thorough and comforting.
Rachel goes above and beyond and the care she gives is nothing short of exceptional.
When those unexpected things happen, it’s good to know we have a team of people ready to give their all in a time of need. Thank you, Bluffton EMS.

Mother’s Day 2023 was a beautiful day. We were just returning from spending time with my mother and I asked Dan to drop me off at Bluffton University’s football field. My cousin’s son was playing soccer there (yes, on Mother’s Day!), and I was determined not to miss a game that was so close to our home. After the game, my cousin’s husband offered to drop me off at home. I refused as it was a short walk and sunny. As I walked up our road, I could see our neighbor Dan Gray sitting outside. Their white home seemed to highlight his red shirt to me. ▶︎
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.
