Reflections: Cardington activities in past years
By Evelyn Long - Contributing Columnist
Reading through past issues of the Morrow County Independent and Morrow County Sentinel, I find many short items that catch my eye. For instance in the Oct. 5, 1922 issue of The Independent, is a story about the passing of the Old Covered Bridges in the county.
“The old covered bridge, with its livery stable and blacksmith shop advertisements and boards knocked off the side to provide adequate positions for fishing is fast passing into history.
“Morrow County now has but three such structures remaining, one west of Cardington and another just east of Stantontown and the third east of Pagetown, though a few years ago there were more than a score. Several of the old bridges have gone down under the weight and vibration caused by the automobile.

The NSW Independent MP Alex Greenwich is, as we speak, drawing up plans for voluntary euthanasia legislation, which â if passed â will see NSW arrive in the 21st century, joining other states around the country in legalising assisted dying for terminally ill patients. It will be supported by such admirable groups as Dying With Dignity NSW, politicians across the various parties and â to judge by polls on the subject â about 85 per cent of the public. It would mean terminally ill patients, who are medically judged to have less than six months to live, could choose to die at a time of their choosing, rather than at the agonising end of natureâs ravages.

The Bluffton University women s basketball team stayed undefeated Wednesday night, outlasting the Adrian College Bulldogs 70-66 in overtime.
With this win the Beavers moved to 6-0 overall, while the Bulldogs fell to 1-3. The icing on the cake is that it was Head Coach Chad Shutler s 200th career victory at Bluffton University.
Junior Brianna Gillig (New Riegel) returning to the lineup was key for the Beavers in the first period with her netting six of the 14 points. A pair of senior guards and a junior post also added to the offense with Emma Saltzman (Arcadia) tossing in two points, while Nora Hemminger (McComb) and Claire Myree (Lakota West) added three points apiece. However, the home team still trailed 20-14 at the end of the first period.
