DECATUR â During a stroll, run or ride through Fairview Park, people can quench their thirst at a little piece of history.
Dr. Stephen Huss and his childhood friend John Huff spent their youth playing in the westside park during the 1950s, often stopping at the stone water fountains for a break. âI remember having to get up there to get a drink of water,â Huff said about the functional pieces of sculpture.
As time and the elements took their toll on the fountains, they eventually withered away.
However, one has recently been rescued decades after its first use.
Huss said he remembered the fountainsâ various locations, including one near the iron bridge at Stevens Creek. âBut I thought they were all gone,â he said.

CLEVELAND A handful of northeast Ohio cities and school districts turned to voters Tuesday to approve a variety of levy and bond issues.
While some of the levies were renewals, others were asking for tax increases and additional revenue. While renewal levies generally did well in the area, voters in many towns rejected new taxes.
Most of the levies and bonds up that were up consideration will use property taxes and will base the tax off millage. A mill takes market value times 35% times .001 (one mill) to equal the tax increase per year.

It was more intimate than a typical Marietta College Commencement ceremony, but for the nearly 50 graduates and their families who returned to campus on Sunday, May 2, appearing in-person to graduate was exactly what they needed and wanted.
“It feels like a reunion seeing everybody, but seeing everybody in the robes makes it more formal,” said Alexander Kirsch (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). “But I haven’t seen everyone in a year, so it feels good to get back together.”
Amanda Carpenter Farish (Zanesville, Ohio) added, “It feels good to be back and see friends. We’re all excited to be here.”
