Bluffton Marathon at 205 S Main has been a work site in recent days, while crews installed test wells as part of followup on a 2019 chemical release. Filling in this hole was all that remained to be done at the time of the Icon's visit.
Bluffton Boy Scout Troop 256 was out (again) on Saturday, March 12, for a second weekend covering the entire Village of Bluffton for the Scouting for Food program. The previous weekend, scouts left door hangers notifying residents of the food drive; this past weekend, they picked up the donated items for the Bluffton Food pantry.
Troop leader Victoria Goddard reports: "The generous folks of Bluffton donated over 900 items to the local Bluffton Food Pantry. The Scouts picked up and sorted the donated items.
It is possible that as many Bluffton residents pass Monday evenings scrolling through the offerings of streaming services and cable TV, they are missing one of the most compelling and consequential reality shows, now well into its second century of seasons. Every second and fourth Monday at 7 p.m., a revolving cast of characters gathers in front of a live audience to deliberate and make decisions that keep this town operating smoothly. It plays like a courtroom procedural with flashes of drama and comedy. At the end of each episode, audience members get to stand up and leave a review. No ticket is required for entry.
On March 14, Mayor Rich Johnson convened the meeting and ushered the six Council members through a quick approval of the last meeting's minutes and paying of the Village's bills.

When Bluffton Elementary School physical education (PE) teacher Ryan Dunlap challenged students to learn about heart health, raise funds for the American Heart Association and earn PE equipment, he gave them just two weeks.
The financial goal set was $6,000. The amount raised was a whopping $9,629.31.
Perhaps the reward offered was deliciously tempting: to plop a whipped cream pie in Mr. Dunlap’s face. That was the privilege earned by 2nd grader Scarlet Vastano for raising $530.99.
