In 1968, Harry Nilsson released the album Aerial Bullet with a track titled One.  In the lyrics, he wrote “one is the loneliest number you’ll ever do.”  Harry Nilsson indicated he got the inspiration when he called a friend and got the busy signal going beep, beep, beep. Remember the days when you got a busy signal with no answering machines or voicemail available?

The Bluffton Sardines summer swim team handily swept visiting teams Westside and Ada in a Western Ohio Aquatic League makeup tri-meet Tuesday evening, June 20. 

Ada at Bluffton was postponed twice last week due to unseasonably cool and rainy conditions, and thus the meet was combined into a three-team competition.

Bluffton won the combined team event convincingly, sweeping the boys and girls dual meets. Westside finished second, and Ada came in third.

Pre-meeting Survey is HERE; Bluffton Airport is owned by the Village of Bluffton and operated by Bluffton Flying Service
