FROM ADA ICON - Former Ada resident Mary Howard sent the Icon this photo of yesterday's solar eclipse with the following explanation: I live in Worland, Wyoming, but am originally from Ada.
I watched the eclipse at Gooseberry Badlands between Worland and Meeteetse, Wyoming. Buddy (my dog) and I sat up in the parking lot of the Badland's scenic area. The traffic was crazy to try and go anywhere else.
The starlings came out and the crickets started chirping as I was sitting there.
Here's another look at solar eclipse watchers on Aug. 21 at the Bluffton Public Library. Here are Janet Yoder with her mother, Miriam Jantzi, and son, Jeff Yoder, in the back. Behind them are Jami Rehm with her daughter, Rebekah. Jamie Nygaard photo.
Dr. Leah Eiden, M.D., Bluffton’s newest general practitioner, feels right at home in Bluffton Hospital.
After all, she was born in the hospital. The first person she met in Bluffton was Dr. Howard Shelly, M.D., who delivered her. Dr. Eiden will see patients soon at Bluffton Primary Care, an office currently under renovation.
The Icon sat down with her recently for Q and A. Her youngest son, Jack, sat in on our interview. Here’s what we’d like to share with viewers.
Two Bluffton websites that keep their fingers on the pulse of community activities linked together this week to provide easier access for viewers to both sites.
The sites are Bluffton Icon.com and BlufftonPirates.com.
This partnership means that viewers win. All Bluffton High School sports are now on Bluffton Icon, and, BlufftonPirates.com provides its viewers to an easy link to all news items about Bluffton posted on the Icon.
Several improvements to the buildings took place this summer. One permanent structure, however, is the building plate of the Bluffton elementary school lobby.
Placed in 1956 when the school opened, it lists the important players in the school system at that time.
From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 23, the Ohio Department of Transportation District 1 and 2 will host a joint event to highlight Ohio’s Move Over law at the Interstate 75 northbound rest area, south of Findlay.
Ohio’s Move Over law, enacted in 2004, was put in place to protect law enforcement officers, emergency responders and tow truck operators along Ohio’s highways. The law requires motorists to move over one lane or slow down when passing a vehicle with rotating or flashing lights.
