On September 17 the Bluffton Lions and the Village of Bluffton held a ceremony dedicating the addition of a bike and pedestrian pathway along Jefferson St./State Route 103 from County Line Road to I-75, following close on the heels of a September 3 dedication of the new County Line pathway.
The S.R. 103 Lions Way segment improves access to housing, a hotel, restaurants, gas stations, shops and other businesses along this stretch of road. This is the busiest and fastest section of road in the Village. Some 20 businesses are located on or near the new pathway.
The League of Women Voters of the Lima Area will hold an informational, hour-long forum, "How Journalism Works" on Tuesday, October 1.
Dr. Shane Tilton, an Associate Professor of Writing and Multimedia Studies at Ohio Northern University, will discuss why journalism is still important, especially when we get information from fragmented sources, and how journalism works as a cornerstone for society.
