Northern Nursing without Borders will return to the Dominican Republic for the ninth year, helping about 500 people in four remote villages near San Juan de la Maguana with health care that can make a big difference in how long they live and their quality of life.

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - An extremely heavy windstorm struck Orange Township, just missing the village on Sunday evening.

Power was out for at least four hours in some sections of the township. Dennis Morrison provided several photos to the Icon, showing wind damage.
He reported that the Kimmel barn at 2357 Orange Township Road 27 was heavily damaged in addition to other structures in that neighborhood. Parts of the barn were scattered across the field all the way to State Route 235, over one-half mile away.

"On your mark"...looks simple enough, the start of the Dolly Dash 5K/Fun Run at ONU on Saturday.
What makes it a Fun Run? Something to do with Oreos, balloons, and eggs.
See the photos below for the fun part of the Dash. Proceeds from the event go to the Dolly Pardon's Imagination Library, which is located in the library in Kenton.
Yes, college students get up early on a chilly Saturday morning in November to support a worthy cause and have a little fun along the way.
