The Spirit of Giving

Over 10 years ago, two Bucyrus residents approached City Council with an idea to make the city a better place. The proposal to City Council, which was presented by Mr. Bill Leitzy and Dr. Ide, was for the construction of a bridge that would allow access to Aumiller Park and Unger Park from Southern Avenue. The two men saw a need for the bridge because of safety issues for people trying to get to the park. With the assistance of Jim Burris and Russell Fling, an architect and engineer respectively, a plan was developed for a wooden cable suspension bridge spanning the Sandusky River.

Highly trained dogs, often referred to as Police Service Dogs (PSD), are used in support of local law enforcement, working side-by-side with police officers in fighting crime. Dogs have one of the most acute senses for smell of any animal. These dogs can be trained for specialized duties or multi-purpose tasks. Their size, speed and natural canine senses give these four-legged animals the ability to carry out jobs that their human teammates cannot.

Think about the number 40. Most people look at the age of 40 as the new 20. If you haven’t turned 40 yet, you tend to fear the number. For the Humane Society serving Crawford County, that number is a BIG deal. On Saturday, October 8, the shelter will be celebrating its 40th Anniversary, a milestone for any organization.
