The study will be conducted by Dr. Richard Moore, emeritus professor of the School of Environment and Natural Resources and Yanting Guo, Ph.D student in the Environmental Science Graduate Program at The Ohio State University.

Marilyn Hart, 85, died Nov. 6, 2016, at her residence. Marilyn was born Aug. 25, 1931, in Allen Park, Michigan, to the late Harry and Helen (Nonnamaker) Moore. On March 17, 1951, she married William Hart who preceded her in death on Oct. 29, 2006.
Marilyn retired from Lee County Transit in Ft. Myers, Florida, had worked at Ex-Cello Corporation, Bluffton, and also owned and operated with her husband, Bill's Country Butcher Shop. She was a member of First United Methodist Church, Bluffton and was a graduate of Bluffton High School.
Why not celebrate the 1950s on the 50th day of the school year? That's exactly what Bluffton first graders did this week. Watch the Icon for more photos and why the number 50 is so important. Jamie Nygaard photo - watch for more photos coming later this week.
A projected $290,000 Airpark Master Plan Study for the Bluffton Airport will become a reality, according to Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator.
He will update Bluffton council on Monday about the project, which includes a 90 percent grant from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The village still awaits official notification from the Ohio Department of Transportation, which may provide an additional 5 percent toward the grant. That application went to the Ohio Office of Aviation. Its total is $14,500.
