45817 is the zip code for Bluffton, Ohio, yet we discovered it on a Virginia license plate. It's a plate of Charles Hilty, former Bluffton resident who lives in Reston, Virginia.
HARROD - Mustang senior Spencer Miller scored 26 of his 43 points in the second half to lead host Allen East to a second half comeback win over local rival Ada 72-65 in a Northwest Conference boys basketball shootout Friday night.
The Bulldogs fell to 3-12 and 0-5 in the NWC with the tough loss, while the Mustangs improved to 8-6 and 1-3 in the NWC with their first league victory.
Ada led 57-48 early in the fourth period when Miller led a game-changing 22-2 spurt. Mustang senior Caleb Smelcer reeled off eight points in a row to give AE its first lead since early in the game at 58-57 with 4:35 remaining.
It didn't just happen. It took planning, coordination and lots of volunteers to step forward.
The food packets go to the hungry: 1,000 meals to ReStore in Ada, 6,000 meals to the West Ohio Food Bank and the rest to the African nation of Lesotho.

Why do 100 ONU students wear hairnets and disposable gloves? It's for sanitary reasons for when the students packed 20,000 meals in McIntosh Center on Saturday afternoon.
The food packets go to the hungry: 1,000 meals to ReStore in Ada, 6,000 meals to the West Ohio Food Bank and the rest to the African nation of Lesotho.
The nutritious meals consisted of a blend of rice, soy, vegetables, vitamins and minerals.
The meals will be given to those suffering from hunger and malnutrition. Ingredients cost about 27 cents a meal.
Sometimes you've just gotta take a break. These youngsters pitched in to help about 100 ONU students pack 20,000 meals in McIntosh Center on Saturday afternoon. The reward for them: a brief rest and cookies....and knowing people who need food will get some. See below for more about the event. (Monty Siekerman photo)
