FROM ONU.EDU__When Riley Creek overspreads its bank in Bluffton, Ohio, the consequences don’t stop at the village limits. The floodwater, laden with agricultural nutrients, eventually travels downstream and empties into Lake Erie.
For Katelyn Wagner, the floodwater’s journey is personal. Oregon, Ohio, is her hometown and those nutrient-heavy waters contribute to the algal blooms that threaten the safety of her family’s drinking water.
The capital campaign committee of the Bluffton Ohio Historical Society shared their plans for a Bluffton, Ohio museum with State Senator Susan Manchester (District 12). Pictured (L-R) with Manchester are Ron Epp, Steve Simon, Dan Groman, Clair Winebar and Greg Ring. The March 18 meeting was held at the 1899 Depot at Buckeye Lake (a.k.a. Bluffton Sportsmens Club), which is now managed by the historical society. For more information, visit www.BlufftonForever.com.
