Bluffton’s Lions Way Bentley Road Pathway had it christening on Tuesday. The celebration recognized the .9 mile extension of the pathway project, now it its ninth year.

The event recognizes the pathway extension from Augsburger-Elm south along Bentley Road to the bridge near Kibler Street.

Prior to the Bentley pathway's existence, this heavily foot-trafficked road had no sidewalk or designation for non-vehicular traffic.

Bill Gaines, who helped bring soccer to Bluffton, was remembered on Sept. 25 during the Bluffton HS boys’ versus Ada soccer match.

Gaines died July 8. He was a soccer coach in the Bluffton schools for many years. The recognition took place during halftime of the varsity contest.

The Village of Bluffton official trick-or-treat night is from 6 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 25, according to Richard Johnson, Bluffton mayor.

Community organizations that open doors to Halloweeners on that night may contact the Icon. We will add your location to our announcement as we receive them. Send to: [email protected]
