School starts next week.

Placed in 1956 when the school opened, it lists the important players in the school system at that time.

16-page EPA requirement forces council to rethink the project

The Bluffton village park pond isn’t dead yet – nor is it filled in yet.
Last fall Bluffton council, on the recommendation of the parks and recreation committee, voted to fill in the pond. The area would be used for either additional parking or another ball diamond.
The pond discussion came up at Monday’s council meeting and some new information has the council re-thinking filling in the pond.
The village learned it would be required to develop a storm water pollution plan covering 16 pages of requirements before the pond could be filled in.
