Letter: Where are these Dillinger era furnishings?

Posted by Paula Scott on August 27, 2023 - 6:00am

I enjoyed reading of the recent Dillinger robbery reenactment. I am reading through the old Bluffton News online and found this about the auction of some furnishings from the Citizens Bank. Wonder where these furnishings are now that probably were in the bank at the time of the robbery.

Letter: Regarding the article "Exploring Crash Density in Bluffton"

Posted by Staff on August 8, 2023 - 6:00am

Letter to the editor from Josh Tattrie of Bluffton, Ohio in response to the Icon's July 13 article.

On 6/22/23 (Police Report # 2023-00003850) I was hit (t-boned) at the intersection of 103 and County Line. I was hospitalized and spent 3 days in the ICU. I was initially transported to the Bluffton ER and then the Findlay ER. I had internal bleeding on my brain. I cannot find where my accident was made public in the docket. Can you explain why?

Letter: A direct attack on Democracy

Posted by Staff on August 4, 2023 - 6:00am

Letter to the editor from Holly Norton, President of the League of Women Voters of the Lima Area.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy. Issue 1 is a direct attack on voting rights and equal representation. That is why we are urging voters to vote NO on this issue.

Letter: Please consider voting “NO” on Issue 1

Posted by Staff on July 31, 2023 - 7:39am

A letter from Bluffton residents John and Jenny Pilarowski.

Our legislators in Columbus are spending our tax dollars to hold a special election on August 8, 2023 to vote on Issue 1 – to change the Constitution of Ohio.

Issue 1 would make it more difficult – nearly impossible – to bring any citizen initiative to a vote of the people. It would require signatures from 5% of all who voted in the last gubernatorial election from all 88 Ohio counties to get an initiative on the ballot and then require there to be 60% approval of all ballots cast to pass the initiative. Currently signatures from 44 counties are required plus a yes vote from 50% of all ballots voted plus one more yes ballot – a simple majority!

Letter: S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club thank you to donors

Posted by Staff on May 26, 2023 - 6:00am

From the S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club of Bluffton

As you have seen, the American Flags are again flying in the breeze on the Main Street of Bluffton. For the past 16 years, the S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club of Bluffton has solicited sponsorship of those flags, and the Bluffton American Legion has installed and maintained them. 

This year 2023 the American Legion has again installed those flags.  The S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club thanks Jerry Cupples and the American Legion for all their wonderful help throughout the years. 

The S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club (Sharing Hopes And Nourishing Needs Of Neighbors) also wishes to gratefully thank all the many, many wonderful sponsors of the flags throughout these 16 years. Your donations have been received each summer by the SHANNON CLUB and also by the community of Bluffton with great gratitude. 

To show our sincere thankfulness to all of you, the S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club wishes to give back to the community by donating the flags this summer and will NOT be soliciting sponsorship of the flags.  We have truly valued your wonderful support.
