Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? My mind is usually on food, so obviously yes, if  you eat too much of something good you will more than likely suffer in some way. Anything else?  

Sardine boys place 1st, girls 3rd

WAPAKONETA__The Bluffton Sardines summer swim team captured the combined and boys team titles at the annual eight-team Western Ohio Aquatic League championship meet in the Wapakoneta village pool July 11-12.

WOAL is for swimmers aged 5-18 who are members on one of the league’s eight teams. Over 500 swimmers competed in the hot two-day event at Wapakoneta.

Findlay finished second in the combined boys/girls team race by 221 points to the triumphant Sardines.

Bluffton rolled to the boys team crown by nearly 300 points over second-place Westside.

The Sardine girls finished a strong third, 116.5 points behind Findlay for the girls team title.

Six limestone capstones--36 inches by 6 feet long and weighing 1,509-1,700 pounds each--were salvaged from Bluffton University's Berky Hall for use as steps at the new Swiss Community Historical Society Heritage Center. The stone was adapted by John Kohli, mason, with assistance by Jeff Althaus, Wes Buettner, Mike Krugh, Cory Wilkins, and Seth Bixel.

If you suffer from migraine headaches, you're not alone. More than 39 million Americans live with migraines, a complex neurological disorder that extends far beyond a typical headache. The good news? Effective migraine treatment is available, and it starts with understanding your symptoms and available options.

There are many types of headaches, such as tension, cervicogenic and migraine headaches. Identifying the type of headache is critical to choosing the proper treatment. Tension headaches present with tight, band-like pressure. Cervicogenic headaches typically arise from the neck. Migraines are more than "just bad headaches." They are a neurological disorder that often presents as one-sided, pulsating pain lasting hours or even days. 

Progressive Sweeping is scheduled to perform annual street sweeping in the Village of Bluffton on Tuesday, July 15.

This should be a 1–2-day project beginning around 5:30 a.m. on Main St. in the business district.

Please avoid on-street parking on Tuesday and Wednesday from 5:30 a.m.-4 p.m. This will allow for a more complete cleaning as well as faster completion of the project.
