Quarterly Market Review: July-September 2016
The second quarter provided a bumpy ride for investors.
Following the upheaval caused by the Brexit vote in June, July kicked off the third quarter by ending the month in favorable fashion, as each of the indexes listed here posted month-to-month gains, led by the Russell 2000 (5.90%) and the Nasdaq (6.60%).
The Bluffton Public Library staff enjoys seeing its patrons having fun.
The staff created yet another way to have fun. It's called Friday Photo Challenge.
Here's how it works:
Patrons may participate every Friday in October for a photo finish of the week.
1 - Take a photo
2 -post it on your social media profiles, and
3 - tag the library's profile, #weheartbluffton, and #fridayphoto.
If you don't have a photo-capable phone the staff will snap a picture of you to share directly to the library's social media.
Bluffton first graders saw first-hand how this community's rural pioneers lived. Last week, the students toured the Swiss Community Hisitorical Society's Schumacher Homestead. Jamie Nygard shares these photos with Icon viewers. The view above shows the homestead summer kitchen. Rachel Friesen shared about the kitchen with students. Gary Wetherill talked with students about farming. Pat Scheidler also talked with students. (Jamie Nygard photos)
Bluffton council is looking as far ahead as 2019 in its street program. Action on all or part of the multi-year recommendations will be considered on Monday evening.
The streets on the schedule and their projected costs are part of the attachment at the bottom of this story.
Bluffton Paving Co., cost estimates for 2016 total $383,294. Five additional projects were later added to the original 2016 street program at an estimated cost of $93,669.
This very interesting Bluffton photo needs some background.
Taken in the 1914-15 school year, this Bluffton College student group called themselves “Student Volunteers.” It turns out that members of this group intended to enter the Christian mission field upon graduating from college.
Here’s who they are and some of their family connections to Bluffton today:
