BLUFFTON'S LOW-SALT DIET

New York City's Department of Health issued new guidelines to curb salt in resident's diets today. Meanwhile, in Bluffton, Ohio, the village issued guidelines to keep salt off its new Main Street sidewalks. The low-salt diet is due to the new sidewalks placed downtown this summer. Salt and other ice melting chemicals may harm the sidewalks during their first winter. In the meantime, walkers take care on icy days and nights.
