HCAC Coaches Poll

BLUFFTON, Ohio - A solid finish to the 2014 men’s soccer campaign along with the addition of a full-time head coach for both the men’s and women’s soccer programs has given new life to soccer at Bluffton University. The Beavers took advantage of their stout defense down the stretch, allowing just 12 goals in Heartland Conference play while finishing 3-6 in the HCAC.

Who hasn't walked, jogged, biked or driven past the Bluffton University football stadium and wondered what it looks like from the 50-yard-line on the home bleacher side.

Here's that look. The Icon visited the field earlier in the week and came home with several photos, which you may view below this story.

(The final photo is an artist's rendition of the completed field. The sixth photo shows a pile of turf cut up on the sidelines.)

Emmanuel United Church of Christ  will have a worship service and carry-in picnic at 10 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 16, at the village park shelter house by the high school baseball field.

Everyone is welcome. Bring a chair if you would like. Following the picnic there will be games to include all ages. There will also be a pie and cake walk.

It's one of those things we take for granted. All thoses petunias blooming on Main Street. The annual summer project by Stratton Greenhouses is one of things that makes downtown Bluffton come alive.

On July 4, 1936, 79 years ago, Anna Bogart went on a car ride that would change her life.

Today, Anna is a resident at Hilty Home in Pandora, the town where she was born. Before returning to Pandora, she made a life for herself as a nurse, was married and raised two daughters. 

But many of her most cherished memories can be traced back to that single July night when she went on her first date with Gordon Bogart. 

Two weeks ago  Anna was invited by a Hilty Home staff member to enjoy the cruise-In taking place in the Hilty Home  front parking lot.
