It might as well be November when Bluffton residents are usually in the midst of serious leaf raking. Not so, this year. The leaves seem to want to hang around longer than usual.
Meanwhile the village crew is set up to take leaves from Bluffton curbs. Here's the the rules from the village:
• Leaf piles will not be picked up if they contain any grass, stickets, yard waste or trash.
• Please rake leaves to the curb in long, narrow rows.
• Village crews will pick up leaves once each week.

In a heart-stopping District Final boys' soccer game at Kalida, the Bluffton Pirates finally had their way with the Kalida Wildcats. The game went to sudden death shootout even, and Bluffton final got the result, 4-3 on Simon Derstine's shot.
Bluffton’s Braden Conrad got the Pirates on the board assisted by John Shriner at the 14 minute in the game. Kalida did not answer back until they evened it (#18) at the 68 min.
