Vim and vinegar is a malapropism for the expression vim and vigor, which is a large amount of vitality and energy. A malapropism is when a word is used by mistake in place of a similar sounding word. In this case, vinegar for vigor.
Vinegars are the result of fermentation, giving the liquid its distinct smell. The use of vinegar has been recorded as far back as the third century BC. The key component to vinegar solutions is acetic acid. White vinegar is 5-10% acetic acid compared to apple cider vinegar, which is 5-6% acetic acid.
Playing at home, the Ada High School softball team rallied late but lost a classic pitchers’ duel 3-2 to visiting county rival Riverdale on Tuesday evening, April 9.

As I write this, it’s just a few hours after the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024. Given traffic jam horror stories from similar events, I decided early on to stay put in Bluffton. But it began to dawn on me on Sunday that perhaps being in the path of totality was not going to double the population of our little town–a possibility for which emergency services were prepared.
The second meeting of the Jumbo Jr. Farmers was held on Monday, April 1, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. There were 20 members, 3 advisors and 11 parents or guests in attendance.
The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Ryan Harpster and the 4-H Pledge was led by Lydia Caldwell.
