Jamie Nygaard helps people – especially those who, she says, hold Bluffton close to their heart - count the days.
She’s released her second Bluffton calendar, with 12 beautiful color photographs of the community covering the 12 months of 2018.
Bluffton Primary Care ribbon cutting was Monday evening at the newly renovated 161 Garau St., building.

Employees of the Village of Bluffton will each receive a $500 bonus this month. On top of that each employee will receive a $20 Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce gift certificate.
Bluffton council approved the bonus plan on Nov. 27. The $500 bonuses cost the village $11,000.
According to Judy Augsburger, mayor, “Payroll is down, it’s been a rough year for the staff and it’s a nice gesture.”
She said that an approximate $40,000 surplus is in the payroll account due to the fact that the village went without a paid village administrator for several months.
