Icon to share Bluffton public notices

By Paula Scott

Trucks, trucks and more trucks. Deliveries, power and cable companies, construction, etc., etc. Bluffton’s streets are filled with a wide variety of these service providers. One company can be seen parked with regularity on Main St., BJAAM Environmental.

I know from conversations with Fire Chief Jon Kinn that these crews are doing followup on a 2019 tank leak at the Marathon gas station. But what does that mean?

I got in touch with the State Fire Marshal's office to get the backstory on this project. They confirmed that “environmental consultant BJAAM Environmental is testing the soil and water at the gas station on 205 S. Main Street. They regularly provide reports to our office, the Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations (BUSTR) detailing their findings and activities on behalf of the gas station owner. The owner has been in compliance with state and federal regulations.”

Summer Saturday with a cursive refresher

Posted by Staff on June 9, 2023 - 6:46am

By Paula Scott

When the Icon visited the Schumacher Homestead on June 3 for a brief lesson in pen and ink writing, it was almost as if time stood still. The parlor was filled with period furniture from the 1800s and photos of the Schumacher family surrounded us. The five docents who were there to greet guests--Nancy and Ed Yeager, Ivan and Rachel Friesen, and Keith Sommer--were dressed in period garb.

A reminder that time had not in fact stood still? The room was deliciously cool thanks to air conditioning in the house.
