Here's more proof that Bald Eagles have moved into the Bluffton area. Bluffton University student Josh Stallings took this photo of a eagle yearling (1 year old) on State Route 103 in November. He said that the eagle's nest was in a tree on the north side of the road. The photo was taken with a cell phone somewhere between State Route 235 and Jenera.

Ice skating on the Little Riley

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 16, 2010 - 9:36am

The location: the Little Riley, just south of Columbus Grove Road.

The event: ice skating in the winter.

The skaters: Dr. B.W. Travis (left) and Ropp Triplett (right)

If we could get a better view of the cars parked along Grove Road we could nail down a year. Jim Diller provided this photo taken by his father, Paul Diller.

Our guess on the year: late 1950s. How many Icon viewers fell in the ice at this spot?
