BLUFFTON'S LOW-SALT DIET

New York City's Department of Health issued new guidelines to curb salt in resident's diets today. Meanwhile, in Bluffton, Ohio, the village issued guidelines to keep salt off its new Main Street sidewalks. The low-salt diet is due to the new sidewalks placed downtown this summer. Salt and other ice melting chemicals may harm the sidewalks during their first winter. In the meantime, walkers take care on icy days and nights.

Letter: Last WWI vet is 109 on Feb. 1

Posted by Fred Steiner on January 11, 2010 - 3:33pm

Bluffton Icon:

Would you be interested in putting something in the BlufftonIcon inviting people to send a birthday card to Mr. Frank Buckles (the last surviving U.S. WWI veteran)? Mr. Buckles turns 109 on Feb. 1.

I have a draft that people could sign and forward, if they are interested, and have attached it for you. I am going to get my church, the Boy Scouts, my place of employment (Lima Refinery), and some other groups that I'm involved with to print out copies and have them send them on to Mr. Buckles.
