The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife is asking hunters in Hardin, Marion and Wyandot counties to submit their deer for chronic wasting disease (CWD) testing for the remainder of the 2022 deer hunting season.
Guy Verhoff provides the Icon with weekly weather reports and has submitted the attached annual 2021 weather summary.
As a weather observer, Verhoff follows in the footsteps of his father-in-law Ray Burkholder, who in turn received the assigment from John Maidlaw, an observer in Ottawa.
Verhoff has been reporting weather conditions from Pandora since about 2007.

JANUARY 7 UPDATE: Garland removal delayed by snow. Watch the Icon for the rescheduled activity.
The Bluffton Fire Department will announce a new date for removing the lighted garlands and snowflakes decorating downtown Bluffton businesses and light poles.
The decorations are coordinated by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce. Fees paid by participating businesses help support the Fire Department and the chamber.
Watching the removal of one of Bluffton's towering, shade giving trees on South Main, neighbors Jeanette Reineke and Pam Weisenbarger were reminded of a poem they both knew by heart, "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer.
Captured here by Icon photographer Jamie Nygaard, they recited the poem for her.
We see you, Icon readers in Putnam County. Here an update from the Putnam County District Library on January activities. For more information, visit https://mypcdl.org/.
