Several improvements to the buildings took place this summer. One permanent structure, however, is the building plate of the Bluffton elementary school lobby.
Placed in 1956 when the school opened, it lists the important players in the school system at that time.
This sign says it all about getting back to school. Bluffton High School students are picking up schedules and having photos taken for 2017-18. Those events take place Friday and Monday. The first day of school is Monday, Aug. 28.
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.

AN OPINION PIECE
