Bucyrus celebrates its first 180 years

Displays, memorabilia line City Hall


BUCYRUS — Michelle Johns grew up in Bucyrus, but is still learning about her hometown.

The Altercare of Bucyrus employee and a few co-workers attended the city’s 180th anniversary celebration Thursday at City Hall.

“I’m a lifer. I remember going to Clady’s with my grandmother. She’d sit me at the counter with the old soda fountain,” Johns said. “I would sit there and she’d shop.”

The event marked the incorporation of the city of Bucyrus in 1833, with John Caldwell as its first mayor.

Johns said she misses the downtown theater and skating rink.

“We had a lot to do back then,” she said.

Cathy Rox added, “My first date was in that theater.”

Mayor Roger Moore accepted a proclamation from Tammy Puff, representing Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office.

“This is about Bucyrus. This is what makes us unique,” Moore said, referring to the displays in the lobby, hallway and council chambers.

Firefighter Barry Herschler told visitors about the display donated by the Bucyrus Fire Department.

“Chief (William F.) Maynard was the first fire chief and served from 1888 to 1953,” Herschler said.

That marks the longest tenure in the state.

Maynard kept a book of fire-related news stories from 1899 to 1912.

“Back then we had a lot of small fires,” Herschler said. “Rooftops would catch fire from trains passing through town.”

A photograph showed the fire that destroyed the Vollrath Opera House on Jan. 20, 1936.

“There was an opera the night before,” Herschler said.

Visitors watched an old video. Copies can be purchased through the Bucyrus Historical Society.

“I think it’s fun to get to know the history of your community and have a better appreciation of it,” said Bucyrus Area Chamber of Commerce President Deb Pinion. “It’s like with the cemetery walks, you know who you owe.”

John Rostash came out of his office to enjoy a cake made by Alena Fox. He also has learned more about his city.

“Growing up in the 1970s through the 1990s, I didn’t realize there was so much here at the turn of the century,” said Rostash, who works in planning and zoning for the city. “At one time they had three breweries in Bucyrus.”

Andy Daniels, chief operating officer for Avita Health System, has been in Bucyrus a little more than two years.

“I came to see the history of the town and the community in which we are a part of,” Daniels said as he looked at the historic displays.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Teen's one-bounce, full-court 3-pointer is the shot of a lifetime

Last Friday, Anna Olsen made a shot that was so stunning it takes a moment to realize what she’s done. It was a shot so improbable we wondered if it counted extra. (It didn't.) Olsen, who plays for Lewis-Palmer High School in Monument, Colo., made her shot of a lifetime at the end of the third quarter when she didn't realize she had about 15 seconds left on the clock and went for a buzzer-beater. She launched a nearly full-court shot that landed well short of the basket, took a friendly bounce, hit the rim and the backboard before dropping in. Even the home crowd went bananas at the visiting player's jaw-dropping shot. We did, too.

Todder Has Amazing, Adorable Trick Shot

Toddler Has Amazing, Adorable Trick Shot Video
Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to introduce you to the Internet's next trick shot sensation.
In a video released earlier this week, baby Titus nails buckets from all different angles (lying down, sitting down, standing up) and at all different hoops -- everything from the arcade baskets at Chuck E. Cheese's to a 7-foot rim. And his accuracy is unbelievable.
It doesn't get much better (or younger) than this.

Crawford Park District

BUCYRUS — The Crawford Park District is gearing up for a busy weekend.

Naturalist Warren Uxley will guide a hike through the Daughmer Prairie Bur Oak Savannah, 786 Marion-Melmore Road, at 3 p.m. Sunday.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources bought the 34-acre prairie in January 2011 and made it Ohio’s 135th nature preserve.

“We are very fortunate to have it so close to home, in our county,” Uxley said. “It has global significance. That type of habitat is extremely rare now in North America.”

Uxley said the prairie is home to a rare ecosystem.

“Everyone who lives in this area should visit and learn about it,” Uxley said.

Uxley said the winter walk may be the only one this season.

“We will probably just do the one winter hike, but will be doing several hikes through the prairie in the spring, summer and fall,” Uxley said. “Every season offers its own little perspective of the land.”

The Winter Walk will focus on the survival challenges winter brings for plants and animals.

Must Be Marlin Time!

A 987-pound blue marlin by four anglers who were at least in their 80s.
Capt. Manuel Dominguez said the youngest angler in his charter group, which embarked from the Mexican resort city of Cabo San Lucas Saturday morning on what it hoped would be a brief and relaxing tuna-fishing excursion, was 82.
The excursion lasted a grueling 16 hours.
While aboard the 32-foot cruiser, Ziggy, Arizona anglers Sergent and Sandy Snagirett, and John and Edie Rayno, had caught several tuna before deciding to reel in the lines and call it quits.
It was 1:20 p.m.
But then something very large struck the line attached to the right outrigger. At the end of the line was a lure resembling a flying fish.
An epic battle was at hand, whether the old-timers liked it or not. All took turns with the rod but neither could make headway. (Neither angler is pictured in this post. They were said to have slept in and missed the weigh-in the next morning.)
The crew members helped with the reeling duties but even they could not turn the head of the valiant billfish.
Capt. Dominguez initially thought the fish was a giant tuna, but after 40 minutes it jumped. "I thought it was around 800 pounds because I've caught two around that size before," he told Tracy Ehrenberg, general manager of Pisces Sportfishing, which was first to blog about the catch.
They were still fighting the fish as the sun began to set over the Pacific.

Earth Safe from Asteroid's Close Flyby Next Week

An asteroid will give Earth a historically close shave next week, but there's no chance that the space rock will slam into our planet on this pass, experts say.

The 150-foot-wide (45 meters) asteroid 2012 DA14 will zoom within 17,200 miles (27,700 kilometers) of our planet on Feb. 15, coming nearer than the ring of satellites in geosynchronous orbit. While the flyby will be the closest ever known in advance for such a large asteroid, there's no reason to retreat to the doomsday bunker.
NASA will hold a press conference at 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT) this Thursday (Feb. 7) to discuss the space rock's close flyby.

Marlin Catches a Boatload of Fishermen

If you think fishing's boring, take a look at this snap taken the moment a giant marlin takes revenge on every big game fisherman who has ever cast a line and sinks this pristine boat off the coast of Panama. How did it go so wrong? One report explains that the captain was reversing full throttle to chase down the fighting mega-fish when he fell and lost control. Marlin Magazine reports that the awesome creature escaped and all passengers were rescued, but the poor boat sank into oblivion. Facebook fishing enthusiasts are mystified, asking, "Why didn't they cut the line?" But as Marlin Magazine simply puts it, "Marlin Wins!"
