Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO), Bluffton, Allen County's largest senior healthcare provider, is focusing on "smallness."

On October 14, MHCO launched a $3.9 million Green House (R) building project that creates a small intentional community for a group of elders and staff. The project marks the first step in a long-range plan to bring 10 Green House homes and a community building to the 15 acre site of Willow Ridge, the name of MHCO's new campus.

Chris Heffner was named the Mennonite Memorial Home employee of the month for October.

Heffner has worked at the Mennonite Memorial Home since 2005 as a LPN. Her supervisor commented that "she works full time and takes special interest in visiting with them and truly getting to know the elders. She can be found singing with them and has facilitated ways where they can benefit others. Her efforts are seen as providing meaning and quality of life to the elders." Heffner lives in Ottawa.

It seems the latest trend in hair adornments has an avian bent, as evidenced by the feather extensions sported by women of all ages. The feathers can be found in a wide array of colors - from simple and natural shades of brown to bright purples, greens, yellows, and reds.

Feather extensions are not really new, and like many style trends, can be traced back to earlier eras. In fact, adorning one's head with feathers harkens as far back as ancient Egypt and as recently as the hippie era of the 60s and 70s.
