Looking Back
Jerry and Mary Blue are opening the Wildcat Creek Bed and Breakfast in their rural Cutler home. For over a year the Blues have been readying the house with a tasteful blend of old and new. The spacious kitchen/breakfast area features lots of light streaming in the double doors and triple windows. A Hoosier cabinet is put to good use in the functional. An island with butcher block top was purchased at the Flora school auction a few years ago. It is dated 1935 and w as in the home economics room. The Salin Bank in W. Delphi was burglarized. The burglary was discovered by Branch Manager Cheryl Blickenstaff after entering the building. "No determination was made as to anything taken," according to the Carroll County Sheriff's Department. Entry was gained by breaking a window our of the south side of the building.
