Bluffton Eagle Scout candidate Misha Groman is currently leading his Eagle Scout project at the Benroth Bridge located over Marsh Run near the Buckeye.
He has already had a few work sessions, including one eariler this week when he re-stained and sealed the bridge.
His next work session will be on Saturday. So far, much of the bridge has been power-washed. Graffiti has already been removed.
In addition, the weeds have been pulled from the stones in the waterway between the Benroth Bridge and the red bridge north to the north.
Note: The Icon acquired a manuscript titled “A Brief History of Bluffton’s Industrial Developments.” This publication was prepared by the classes in Marketing and Small Business Administration from Bluffton College, under the director of Dr. Howard Raid. Publication date is May 1959. The Icon will publish one article at a time. We’ve updated some current addresses so viewers may identify locations mentioned. The manuscript was given to the Icon by the Ropp Triplett family.

BLUFFTON, Ohio - A solid finish to the 2014 men’s soccer campaign along with the addition of a full-time head coach for both the men’s and women’s soccer programs has given new life to soccer at Bluffton University. The Beavers took advantage of their stout defense down the stretch, allowing just 12 goals in Heartland Conference play while finishing 3-6 in the HCAC.
