Letter: Re-reading a Lima News article on Valentine's Day

Posted by Staff on February 14, 2023 - 6:00am

My mother, Joanne Niswander, passed away on October 8, 2022. I was fortunate to get all of her journals. I have not been able to look at them yet, but feel so blessed to have them and will start reading them someday soon…. Maybe starting on Valentine’s Day.

Scouts have a wild time at Clymer museum

Posted by Staff on February 14, 2023 - 6:00am

On February 6, several Girl Scout troops from Bluffton toured the Clymer Wildlife Museum in Columbus Grove. 

One of the owners, Gary Clymer, and his grandson Thayne Clymer gave the girls a tour of the museum, which includes wild game from all over the world and a separate display of preserved fish, like the 12' long 500# Blue Marlin. 

With their tour guides' permission, the girls were able to feel the very short bristly hair on an elephants foot and a fossilized woolly mammoth's tusks as well as one of its teeth. The wooly mammoth had been found sticking out of a melting glacier years ago, during one of the Clymers' northern expeditions.   

The moose head in the picture is actually mounted at the height, the moose would stand in the wild.

Sixteen scouts and seven adults were in the tour group. The troops included Juniors (Troop Leader Whitney Utendorf, Asst. Troop Leader Jessica Pratt), Cadettes (Troop Leader Kelly Honse, Asst. Troop Leader Whitney Utendorf), and Seniors (Troop Leader Kelly Honse, Asst. Troop Leader Victoria Goddard).
