RUSSELLS POINT,__ The Our Lady of Fatima Shrine was destroyed by the powerful EF-3 tornado that hit Indian Lake on March 14. The property owner, The American Society of Ephesus (ASE), is now partnering with ArtSpace Lima to conduct a design competition to rebuild the shrine.
Pieces of the nearly 20-foot tall statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary were found in the lake over two weeks later by a team of volunteer divers..The remnants of the shrine pedestal were demolished for safety reasons.”We immediately had requests from the local community to build it back, and there was never any question about it, we will rebuild the shrine," said Bill Quatman, president of the nonprofit corporation.
A Mother’s Day visit to the Bluffton Community Gardens found coordinator Victoria Goddard tending to her own plot in the 9900 S. Main St gardens. Raised 4x8 foot beds and larger plots can be rented at $10/year.
