Tinkham Lane272 viewsFootprints dot an icy pathway off Tinkham Lane, as the morning sun brightens the frozen tundra in the neighborhood where an EF-1 tornado did most of its damage back on August 8, 2023.

Marion Natural History Museum272 viewsThe Marion Natural History Museum’s afterschool group had a terrific time constructing their own rockets for launching. This program was so popular it had to be offered twice! The kids had a hands-on introduction to the engineering principles of propulsion and lift. Every rocket managed a successful launch hundreds of feet in the air, and most were safely carried down by the parachutes. The Museum wishes to thank volunteers Mike Cronin and his son Jake for the great program. Photos courtesy Elizabeth Leidho
