While the recent announcement that GM's Saturn vehicles will cease production is a blow to the American economy, here's a sideline to the story worth our consideration.
In the early stages of Saturn's creation there was speculation that one of the plant sites under consideration by General Motors was near Bluffton. With the village on Interstate 75 and within short driving distance of Detroit, the speculation may have been accurate.
Note: Material in "The Leek" follows in the great journalistic tradition of "The Onion," a national publication, which covers news like no other publication dares.
Bluffton residents awoke on Oct. 1 to the sight of several "X" and dotted lines marked in white on Main Street. Speculation quickly rambled through coffee clitches around the community as to the meaning of the markings.
