Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) has awarded a $30,000 grant to the Putnam Soil Water Conservation District (PSWCD) to fund the Blanchard River Watershed Partnership watershed’s coordinator’s position through July 2016.
That announcement is part of the Watershed Partnership’s summer-fall newsletter, now on The Icon.
The newsletter includes several items of interest to Bluffton, relating to Riley Creek.
The annual meeting of the Blanchard River Watershed Partnership (BRWP) will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the Hancock Ag. Center, 7868 County Road 140, Findlay.
A continental breakfast will be served at 7 a.m. with the meeting portion starting at 7:30 a.m. The meeting will conclude by 9 a.m. A RSVP is required for breakfast; please respond to [email protected] or call Phil Martin, Watershed Coordinator at 419.422.6487.
Judy Augsburger, Jerry Cupples and David Steiner shared their views and visions of Bluffton to 92 persons who attended a Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce mayoral candidate forum on Tuesday evening in the middle school.
Moderator Stanley Scott, Bluffton University political science professor, led the forum. Duane Bollenbacher served as timer.
The Icon created videos of each mayoral candidate's opening response during the Oct. 28 mayoral candidate forum. In addition, the candidate's closing remarks are taped.
On an evening when voters across the nation watched a televised Republican presidential debate, Bluffton held its own “debate.” The event was Oct. 28.
Bluffton’s chamber invited Bluffton’s three 2015 mayoral candidates to a mayoral candidate forum. Held in the middle school, 92 persons attended to hear each candidate’s view on a range of village issues.
Lasting over one-hour, candidates provided opinions on 15 questions, allowing a 90-second answer for each response.
It’s a busy month in November for the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center, 132 N. Main St.
The Center will celebrate its 45th anniversary with an open house from 4 to 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 5. The celebration includes cake and hors d’oeuvres. Following the open house is one of the twice-monthly community meals, which starts at 6 p.m.
During its Monday, Nov. 9, annual meeting, members who died from Nov. 1, 2014, through Oct. 31, 2015, will be remembered.
