A Wapakoneta family is again walking this year to raise money for the American Heart Association, specifically congenital heart defects.
Jessica and Dan Makuh’s two daughters, Abby and Lauren, are joining them in the Dayton Heart Walk on Saturday. It’s their second walk as a family and means even more as Lauren nine weeks ago underwent her third and final heart surgery in a series for hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a condition with which the 3-year-old was born.
Barring any further delays, the reconstructed section of East Benton Street should be open to traffic by the end of October, a city official says.
On Wednesday, Wapakoneta Engineering Department Superintendent Mary Ruck updated Wapakoneta City Council Streets, Alleys and Sidewalks Committee members regarding on-going street and sidewalk projects this year. She discussed the final phases of the East Benton Street reconstruction project, the status of the Safe Routes to Schools sidewalk program and work on a bicycle route.
UNIOPOLIS — The Union Township trustees held a question-and-answer session at its regular meeting Wednesday as 18 people attended the meeting.
