3:50 p.m. Friday power update – POWER IN BLUFFTON WILL NOT GO OFF SATURDAY MORNING (as previously announced by the Icon).

At 2:53 p.m. Bluffton police announced via Nixel that AEP would shut off Village of Bluffton electricity from 8 to 10 a.m. on Saturday.

The Icon immediately posted this announced on its site and on Facebook. Then, at 3:30 p.m. a new police Nixle announcement stated that Bluffton’s power would NOT go off.

The Icon contacted AEP immediately to discover what was happening - are we off or are we on?

The Bluffton Police Department’s next officer might have four legs.

And, the police are asking for financial support from the community to make the hire.

The department is proposing to add a K-9 unit to the department. On Aug. 14 Bluffton council granted the police permission to seek volunteer contributions for the project.

Tyler Hochstetler, police sergeant, said that the cost for a K-9 is $17,000 and two businesses have already pledged $5,000, so the need is down to $12,000.
