Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, July 24, 2017

Nope, this isn't Ada, but your parents might recognize it.

It's the Bluffton swimming pool and Buckeye quarry from the 1950s. Paul Diller snapped these photos.

The pool was on the east side of the Buckeye. It is included a bath house, baby pool, larger pool going to 5 or 6 feet, and the Buckeye quarry for persons who could pass a swim test. The Buckeye had three diving boards.

Icon dog of the week - Storm

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, July 24, 2017

 

Meet Storm. Storm is a female black lab mix. She is 4 years old. Can you provide a forever home for Storm?

To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.

Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.

Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.

The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.
