Here's the walking path between the Buckeye and Riley Creek. At 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 19, water from the creek was still flowing into the Buckeye at the east end. The next photos shows water leaving the Buckeye, returning to the stream at the west end at Spring Street. And, finally, a great blue heron is spotted in the second and third photos, watching the photographer.
Bluffton's annual clean-up week began today and runs through Thursday, May 21. Dumpsters are in place at the Bluffton recycle center on Spring Street.

• Hazardous material (motor oil, paint, etc.)

The Bluffton Lions Foundation will host the 6th annual Ride to Remember in a virtual format this summer.
The public ride that was scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 11, will now be a ride that riders will complete on their own anytime from now until the end of July.
Maps with routes will be provided, but riders may also complete routes in their own communities, or through spinning indoors. The registration fee for the virtual ride will be a donation to the Bluffton Pathways Project, which will be collected during the online registration process.
