John Dailey should have his hands held high in surrender, but he calmly stands at the doorway of Southgate Lanes Bowling Alley, Dixie Highway.
According to Derek Dukes, someone created a 13- by 8-foot tank made out of Keystone cans in front of the bowling alley eariler this week as a prank.
Some towns have crop circles; in Bluffton people make tanks out of beer cases. The Icon will follow this case closely and as soon as a list of suspects is created, we hope to keep the public informed. We wonder if fingerprints were taken.
If you drink and drive in Hancock County beware, the sheriff's office is joining with law enforcement throughout the nation for the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign Aug. 17 to Sept. 3, according to Hancock County Sheriff's Office.

In this case, a picture is hardly worth 1,000 words. Here's our attempt at showing the Bluffton Spring Street brush dump after a summer of wind storms. To best understand this photo is to know that in typical years this spot is empty in late August. We'll have lots of mulch next spring.
The Bluffton elementary and middle school August lunch menu is on the Icon.
This note is from the school: Just a reminder that lunch money must be dropped off in the cafeteria before 9 a.m. It should be placed in an envelope with your child's first and last name written on the outside of it, along with the student account number, and the amount of money enclosed.
If you write a check you do not need to use an envelope, however, on the memo line of check you must write both your child's first and last name and account number.
