This great blue herron will soon need to find a new Bluffton fishing hole. The village plans to fill in the pond located at the entrance of the village park. Bluffton council, on recommendation of the parks and recreation committee, voted to fill it in. The pond, which has no official name, was created in the 1960s when the overpass on County Line Road was constructed.

At first glance you might think that two new silhouette figures joined the cutouts in this year's Ream holiday folk art display on the Presbyterian Church lawn.
But, after a closer look the Icon discovered that Fred Rodabaugh and Denny Morrison were at work on Tuesday morning. The high winds of Monday were too much for many of the cutouts. Many blew over.
Fred and Denny are unofficial caretakers of the display following acts of God.
