Turning 16 is always a birthday to remember. And celebrating it on Feb. 29 is a birthday few would forget.
Zoie Joseph, Bluffton High School freshman, will do just that. She’ll blow out either 4 or 16 candles on Feb. 29. That’s because she’s a leap year baby.
She hopes to celebrate this year, appropriately as any 4-year-old. She wants a Strawberry Short Cake with 4 candles and a bunch of toys gifts to open.
One of this community’s favorite sons, David Rodabaugh, is now a Lima Municipal Court judge.

Rodabaugh fills a seat left vacant upon the retirement of Judge RicKard Workman. Ohio Governor John Kasich appointed Rodabaugh, a lifetime attorney, who practiced in Lima and Bluffton, to the court.
