Despite the restrictions that the corona virus has put on many of our regular activities, the butterfly project at Maple Crest has been thriving as usual this summer.
The only exception is that the only people who are privileged to visit the project this summer are the Maple Crest independent living residents and staff.
For those readers who have not heard of our ongoing summer project (one that began at Maple Crest way back in 2007) let me fill you in.
Bluffton police remind residents of two street paving projects on Saturday that will restrict traffic:
• Paving scheduled on Washington Street from Jackson to Thurman taking place Saturday through Tuesday, There will be no street parking in this area during that time.
• Paving work scheduled around the fire department on North Main during the same period. Parking will be restricted in that area.
Ohio Secretary of State’s office is sending information about how to get registered to vote to 110,448 Ohioans who are eligible to vote but aren’t yet registered.
This initiative is in coordination with the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a non-profit organization who assists participating states in the effort to improve the accuracy of their voter rolls and increase access to voter registration. 30 states and Washington, D.C. are members of ERIC.
