There's two flavors of the month at Shirley's Gourmet Popcorn Co. in February, according to Peter Suter.
   
"The arrival of February brings one of your favorite flavors back to Shirley's - Oreo-White Chocolate," he said. "We begin with our sweet red candy-coated popcorn, mix in lots of crushed up Oreo cookies, then top it off with smooth white chocolate. This is the perfect treat for your significant other this Valentine's Day."

15 minutes with Andy Diller

What year did you graduate from BHS?  Can you share a few memories or thoughts that spring to mind when you think of growing up in Bluffton?

I loved my time growing up in Bluffton. Larry and Kevin Smith, Jason Buroker and Doug Schweingruber were my best friends growing up. I’ve got great memories of riding bikes, building forts, and playing in the Riley Creek with them.

Sidewalk replacement, and all that involves, may be headed to Bluffton council this year. Although not officially on the Jan. 28 agenda, council did hear a report from its street and light committee. That committee met at 7:30 p.m. prior to the council meeting.

In 2001 council passed a sidewalk ordinance. It resulted in many sidewalks in the village to be replaced. The sidewalk projects eventually came to a halt, partically due to the economic slowdown in the United States.
