Middle-Aged Middle Schooler
By Elizabeth Nisly
I'm a middle-aged middle schooler
I've been here so long
I've done this 40 times
But I still do it wrong
I can't seem to get
This pre-algebra junk
So when the tests come around,
I do nothing but flunk
The teachers are sick
Of having me in their class
I've been here since I
Was a wee 12-year-old lass
Now going on 50
And still in grade eight
I think it's high time
That I graduate
L. Burnette "Buzz" Powell, 93, of rural Rawson, died at 1:36 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2011, at the Bridge Hospice Care Center, Findlay. He was born on Oct. 3, 1917, to the late Verne and Stella (Clymer) Powell in Benton Ridge.
He graduated from Mt. Cory High School in 1935. He married Mildred Maurine Hall on August 24, 1940, in Gilboa, and she survives. They were married for 70 years and 11months.
The largest snowflake ever to land in Bluffton may be viewed as it hangs from a light pole on Main Street in front of Common Grounds and The Food Store. We recommend viewing it after dark.
Despite being August, the snowflake will remain there for a few weeks. The snowflake is part of the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce's new holiday lighting plan for Main Street. (see story below)
It's Christmas in August in downtown Bluffton. Really.
Check out the 4-foot-tall lighted snowflake hanging from the light pole in front of Common Grounds and The Food Store at the Main-Cherry intersection. Also check out the 12-foot holiday garland wrapped around the pole.
What's this all about? Has Bluffton lost track of what month it is? The answer is "No."
