John and I would like all to know that we enjoyed a fabulous concert at the Bluffton Town Hall this last Saturday. Wendy Chappell-Dick along with Jeff Yoder (guitar), Lucas Harnish (key board) and Dayton Fandray (bass) did all Joni Mitchell music. It was fantastic!
One topic that impacts most residents is a refuse hauling contract. A three-year contract was awarded in June 2016 to Republic Refuse. It included an option to extend the contract for one year should Bluffton approve a proposed monthly rate change.
That change jumps from the current $15.23 per month to $18.25 per month for residential refuse pick up from June 1, 2019, to May 31, 2010.
Jesse Blackburn, village administrator, will propose to accept the extension and bidding on a new refuse hauling contract in 2020.
Check the photos below in the various stages of creating a snowman cake -
Anyone can make a snowman. But can you make one that you can eat?
The answer is “yes.” Debra Stockford of The Frosting Studio in Bluffton demonstrated how it is accomplished last week at the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center.
Her demonstration-talk was part of the Center’s Our Version of Adult Learning (OVAL) series. And, it was a tasty program.
After all, Stockford isn’t known as “the cake queen” for nothing.
David Wilson, plant controller of Wilson Football factory, Ada, gets ready to pass. He’s holding a 2019 Super Bowl football created in the Ada plant. Nearly 20 Wilson employees from Ada left for Atlanta on Friday. They will demonstrate how footballs are made. Both Super Bowl teams' special balls were sent from Ada on Jan. 21. The next photo is a close up of the ball, following by photos of other Wilson footballs.
