Queen candidates:

Jane Richards is mom to the head coach and wife to a volunteer assistant

Jane Richards is a pretty good sport.

She has to be.

Her son, Jeff, is head football coach at Bluffton High School. Her husband, Mike, is a volunteer coach on his son, Jeff’s coaching staff.

In a chat with Jane on Thursday at Common Grounds, the Icon learned a lot about being the mother and wife of football coaches.

For starters, her position is a lifetime career.

“I’m the stable one. Mike moved around in his coaching career,” she laughs.

Jane taught art at Cory-Rawson for over 30 years.

Richard H. and Mary Ann Jordan will soon observe 60 years of marriage. They were wed on Sept. 16, 1956, in St. Mark's Lutheran Church, Ada, by the Rev. L.H. Wyandt.
 
The Jordans are parents of two sons, R. Timothy D. Jordan of Clarksville, Tenn., and Nathaniel W. T. (Jenni) Jordan of Bluffton, and two daughters, Amy R. King and Bethany G. (Jon) Theis, also of here.
 
Their grandchildren are Jordan, Ashleigh, and Kaity Beth King, Benjamin and Lindsay Theis, and Grant and Matthew Jordan, all of Bluffton, and Dylan Badertscher of Clarksville, Tenn.

Attention members of the 1996 Bluffton High School football team:

The team will be recognized during Friday's football game with Ft. Loramie, according to Alex Hanna, BHS athletic director.

Members should enter through the pass gate next to the Ricky Matter Center. Then meet on the home sideline with 10 minutes left on the game clock, by approximately 7:20 p.m.

The 1996 team will stand on the home sideline for The National Anthem, and immediately following The National Anthem, the team will take the field for a short recognition. 

ArtSpace/Lima announces the opening of Landscape/Cityscape, a group invitational exhibit in The Ellen Nelson Gallery, Friday, Sept. 16.

The inspiration for the exhibit centers on the fact that both landscape and cityscape have an art historical importance dating back to the beginnings of art itself, and that today’s artists, in choosing to work in one of the genres, of necessity add to and alter its dimensions and possibilities.  Landscape/Cityscape proposes a contemporary venue for new perspectives on ancient forms.
