Iconoclast View

  • /

Every poet, song writer and artist who created a sunrise must have viewed one like this sunrise in Bluffton on Oct. 11. This view is from Grove Street at 7:30 a.m.

Or as Vladimir Nabokov put it: "Life is a great sunrise."

The Icon took this photo at this year's antique tractor show at Maple Crest on Sept. 24.

Not being an antique tractor aficionado, quite honestly, we didn't know one tractor from the next.

Until T.R. Steiner asked for a copy of the photo. Here's his comment:

"That particular tractor is very rare with less than 200 made.  It was specifically designed for eatable bean production and only sold new in Michigan.

You may never try spelling your name again - especially if it is long.

Here's a "Spell Your NAme" and do the workout from Bluffton Family Recreation.

You simply follow the instructions by your letter and pretty soon, your workout is in process.

Let's see how it works: Icon

I = 60-second plank
C = 20 crunches
O = 20 lunges
N =10 pushups

Don't let us hold you back. Just start spelling.

He played a pretty mean basketball and baseball game, too

A Gregg Luginbuhl coffee mug sits at my keyboard as I write this. Perhaps you hold one as you read this.

Gregg was artist laureate of Bluffton. The title passed to him from his father, Darvin. Before Darvin, it belonged to John Klassen. Gregg also belongs in the same class with other former Bluffton artists Richard Minck and Paul Soldner.

Please review our list and provide us with updates

How many organizations exist in Bluffton?

Would you believe the answer is "over 30"?

The Icon post organizations names, their contact person and phone number and website (if it is available).

To help us keep updated, please check the civic organization list in the attachment. If you organization is listed, let us know if the information is correct. If changes are needed, please send the information.
