The face of Bluffton village government changed on May 19. And its change is not yet complete.
During the first council session following the “flooding” of the town hall, Mitch Kingsley, council president, announced his resignation as council president. He, however, did not resign from council and plans to retain his seat until later this year when he will resign.
Kingsley read a statement explaining the reasons for his resignation. His statement follows:
Sometimes an artist must use her fingers. Brittany Hover works on her street painting technique. Last week Bluffton High School seniors added their names to College Avenue.
Last week Dawn King sent the Icon a great photo of an American Bald Eagle perched in a tree along Riley Creek. Since that posting, several Icon views state that they've spotted the "Bluffton" eagle in the vicinity of Riley Creek.
If you missed that photo click here. It takes you to the May photo gallery. You'll easily find the Eagle.
Dawn now sends up a photo of an osprey fishing in the Riley.
