PrayerFlight, a program that started in Bluffton, recently announced that it met its goal of “50 Capitals," according to Michael Harnishfeger of Ada, who is one of the program coordinators.
This effort was begun by a group of pilots and prayer warriors at the Bluffton Airport.
Here's the story:
On Sept. 30, 2006, a single airplane carrying four people set off to fly over the City of Lima and Allen County in Ohio. They departed from the Bluffton Airport on a mission to pray over the city and county. Returning from their inaugural trip, they continued this mission, soon to be named PrayerFlight.
The Ada Icon recently announced that The Cadets selected Ohio Northern University as their primary spring training site. The Cadets are one of the oldest and most honored continuously operating drum and bugle corps in the country.
The Cadets have some immediate need for volunteers. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer or have never volunteered for a drum corps in your life, you are welcome.
Wednesday is known as "Hump Day" and it was literally so at ONU this week when students took turns, two riders at a time, on one of the hump-back beasts.

A handler walked the camel around a roped off area for the bumpy ride. Steps led up to the camel's seats, so mounting the animal was easy. A long line of students awaited their turn in chilly weather, a few snow flakes in the air, probably unlike the camel's native home in the hot deserts of the Middle East.

After dinner Tara discussed health foods and gave a tour of the bus. Amy and Mark hosted about 30 diners for the event at their home, 508 N. Main.
Two large rooms filled with diners enjoyed the potluck. (Photos and story by Monty Siekerman)
