My thanks go to the Village of Bluffton for providing Icon readers with the following announcement, which will also be found on the Classifieds page. Notices on the Bluffton Icon and Ada Icon serve a practical if not a legal purpose. The State of Ohio regulations still only recognize print news for legal notices.
