For the first time in its ten year history, local National Night Out celebrations weren't protected by the so-called Bluffton Bubble, a mythical ability to keep storms at a distance. However, plans for food, fun and fireworks on Tuesday night were successfully moved to Wednesday, August 7 after heavy storms and tornado threats were forecast.

The Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) Board of Trustees has appointed Kirby Overton, Ed.D., dean of the College of Business, University of Findlay, as its newest trustee. In addition to her service as a member of the board, Dr. Overton will also serve as a member of the BVHS Compliance and Audit Committee.
