At the March 13 regular meeting of the Bluffton council, Mayor RIch Johnson's first order of business was to call upon Police Chief Ryan Burkholder. The chief announced that the department's Citizen of the Year for 2022 was Chad Cupples, who has done extensive advocacy following last year's on-duty death of Officer Dominic Francis. Cupples' work was instrumental in pushing forward memorials for Francis on Interstate 75 and in town. He was present to accept the award and received a round of applause.

Summary of February board of education meeting

Posted by Paula Scott on February 22, 2023 - 6:00am

By Paula Scott

Bluffton Exempted Village Schools Board of Education held its February 20 meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the Elementary Media Center. The meeting was called to order by Board President Brad Dailey. All members were present including Larry Hoffman, Roni Kaufman, Wes Klinger and Jeremy Scoles.

Approval of the agenda, minutes and reports was unanimous without discussion.

INVOLVEMENT OF VISITORS
Icon editor Paula Scott stepped out of her role as a reporter to share an email she sent to board members earlier that day. Scott noted that local residents had attended a recent Bluffton council meeting to express concerns about pedestrian safety on Main St., especially near the High School. She described a Catch-22 situation: the location needs more pedestrians to be considered for a traffic signal, but is avoided because it is considered dangerous.
