Tawa Tree Service in Ottawa was in town on Wednesday to structure trim 100 Bradford pear trees along Main Street. Some of the ornamental pears have suffered from fire blight the past couple of years; two dead trees have been removed.
The trees were trimmed to try to keep them healthy so all of the trees do not need to be replaced. The damage from fire blight is partially determined by the type of spring weather we will have.

We thought kids were the only people who climb trees. So do adults.

During Tuesday's election, Mara Guyton, an 18-year-old senior at Ada High School, was elected Democrat precinct representative for Liberty Township. She ran unopposed.
Here, Mara (left) and twin sister Olivia hold a bouquet of flowers from the Democrat legacy dinner which they attended recently in Columbus.
Mara was Olivia's campaign manager for Homecoming attendant, so, naturally, Olivia was Mara's campaign manager for precinct committee person.
Mara has high hopes...to some day be a U.S. Senator. She says she has been interested in government and politics since she was 6 years old. Sister Olivia plans to be a nurse.
