238,855 miles from the moon to Bluffton

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 27, 2013 - 12:23pm

Here's a photo from the 1961 Bluffton Centennial "children's parade." Leland Gerber took the photo. Any idea on who the astronaut behind the shades, beard and football helmet might be? We are trying to figure out how this float entry is propelled. Is it a garden tractor?

Icon viewers thoughts are welcome.

Hickory, dickory, that's an expensive repair job

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 26, 2013 - 9:56pm

Have you glanced at the Bluffton town hall clock tower recently? There’s some shingles missing. A repair job is on the way, but it won't be a cheap fix.

Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, informed Bluffton council members on Monday that he has received one estimate for the repair. The estimate is $17,500.

Mehaffie says that the tower roof leaks and that’s why the clock, from time to time, doesn't keep time correctly. The shingles that are loose are not part of the town hall renovation. That roof work was part of an earlier fixup.
