Highs in the 80s, lows in the 70s. That was last week's weather trend. Let's see if it continues. Here's the weekly report from Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.
A magnificent cloud show tied with a summer sunset produced this spectacular view framed by the Bluffton Hospital construction site. The photo is from the Harmon Road side of the hospital looking west.
Just when we think we've seen every old photo of the Bluffton-Pandora Swiss community a new "old" one comes into view. Chris Collins provided this photo to The Icon.
Viewers need to understand that the county school houses between Bluffton and Pandora sometimes had as many as three names. First, the school house had a number, next the school house often carried the name of the farm where the building was located. Finally, unique to this community, schools were named after trees planted in their lawn.
Bluffton council hopes to hold a meeting as soon as possible after Labor Day with the property owners of the North Dixie Highway area that is part of a proposed annexation into the village.
The village meeting with property owners is to answer questions and concerns of all involved. Issues involving the proposed annexation were discussed at Monday's Bluffton council meeting.
Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, said that the Allen County Map Office has received the annexation survey from Bacon and Associates. The office personnel are reviewing the survey.
