Bluffton residents are invited to enter this year’s Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce residential Christmas lighting contest. You may win some neat cash prizes.

Here’s how it works:

The contest is open to any residence within the Village of Bluffton corporation limits.  The corporation expanded this year, so, for example,  residents on Dixie Highway south to and Southgate Lanes are now eligible to enter the contest.

Much of what faculty and students in Bluffton University’s business program do today has roots going back 50 years and more.

Student internships and academic collaboration with the local business community, for instance, date to initiatives introduced by the late Howard Raid during his more than 30 years as a business faculty member, beginning in 1947.

Dr. George Lehman, chair of Bluffton’s Division of Business Studies, discussed Raid’s legacy Nov. 30 in his annual lecture as the Raid Endowed Chair in business.

Mennonite Home Health and Senior Services, Bluffton, has unveiled the perfect holiday gift for senior family members, according to Darren Lee, director of Maple Crest Senior Living Village.

Gift certificates are available for assistance with housekeeping, running errands, personal care, companionship, pet care, or help with Christmas shopping and present wrapping.

"Our home care assistants can provide a wide range of help to get you or your loved one through this busy holiday season,"  said Lee.

Dr. Terry Chappell testified before a Congressional committee, served on the NIH review committee for funding, and later treated patients as an investigator in the randomized, controlled clinical trial that has many cardiologists taking a second look at this controversial therapy for heart disease.

At the American Heart Association meeting in Los Angeles on Nov. 4, Dr. Gervasio Lamas presented the Trial to Assess Chelation (TACT).
