This sign says it all about getting back to school. Bluffton High School students are picking up schedules and having photos taken for 2017-18. Those events take place Friday and Monday. The first day of school is Monday, Aug. 28.
The Bluffton village park pond isn’t dead yet – nor is it filled in yet.
Last fall Bluffton council, on the recommendation of the parks and recreation committee, voted to fill in the pond. The area would be used for either additional parking or another ball diamond.
The pond discussion came up at Monday’s council meeting and some new information has the council re-thinking filling in the pond.
The village learned it would be required to develop a storm water pollution plan covering 16 pages of requirements before the pond could be filled in.

AN OPINION PIECE
The problem with Donald Trump’s “fire and fury” statement on North Korea isn’t merely that it intensifies an already tense situation. Nor is it just another example of Trump’s inappropriate, childish language when faced with a complex issue.
The Bluffton Police Department, in conjunction with the Pandora Police Department, and participation from Bluffton, Beaverdam-Richland Township and Pandora Fire and EMS Departments threw a party - and everyone came.
It was our 4th annual National Night Out at the Bluffton Community Swimming Pool on Aug. 1.
LOTS OF GREAT PHOTOS BELOW -
Were there more than 2,500 who attended? Probably.

The saga of the loose chicken continues.
He now has a name: Richard the Rooster.
He can be found in the 500 block of South Johnson Street, Ada.
About 10 days ago, the rooster was first spotted on East Lehr Avenue. People took pictures of him, watched his antics, even called the police to try to catch the stray.
