Sheena and Tom Dotson of Tommy’s Tires, expanded their businesses recently by purchasing a long-established Bluffton vehicle repair business, Leiber Garage.

The Dotsons own a truck and tractor sales division in Ada, at the intersection of State Route 235 and 309.

Tom Dotson said, “The Leiber purchase adds to our total company business making us a one-stop shop.”

Dotson said Leiber’s will remain at 130 Vance St., Bluffton, and will continue with its current employees and the vehicle repair services it has offered the community.

The sale was completed on April 21, according to Dotson.

That's puzzling. Elementary students grades 1-6 in Ada had their artwork displayed on the walls of the school on Thursday evening. The art formed a giant puzzle when put together.

Here, first grade twins Wyatt (left) and Maverick Shaw show their art contributions to parents Robert and Brittany Shaw. Why dressed in baseball uniforms? Shortly after the art show, the Shaw youngsters participated in the first grade music program, which had a baseball theme.
