Is there a black swallowtail butterfly in your back yard? Could be. These beauties are in season at the moment in Bluffton. Here's one that wasn't afraid to show off its coat. The Icon photographer went a bit overboard on additional photos in this series as you will soon see.
Historic photos like this one don't come along every day. Here's Jeff Richards, Bluffton High School teacher and football coach as a BHS senior. The year in 2004 and it's senior street painting night.
There are 37 additional coats of paint under Jeff's art work, and 16 coats on top of it, not counting at least one street paving job. So, Jeff's art work is probably gone but not forgotten.

Blanchard Valley Health System is encouraging patients to schedule an appointment with their primary care provider (PCP) if they are symptomatic for COVID-19.
A PCP will determine if a COVID-19 test is needed and will place an order for testing at Bluffton Hospital or Blanchard Valley Hospital, Findlay. Appointments are required for COVID-19 testing.

It takes a big lawn mower to cut the grass on Bluffton's largest lawn. It's also the greenest lawn in the community. You'll find it south of town at 8575 Dixie Highway. It's the Bluffton Golf Club's expansive lawn, or as the website reads: manicured greens and fairways.
