On Wednesday, Sept. 18, the Waynesburg University Yellow Jackets made the trip from Pennsylvania take on Bluffton University at the Sears Complex.

The outcome was not in the home team's favor, however, as Waynesburg was able to score a couple of goals early and come away with a 3-0 win. The win pushed the Yellow Jackets to 2-3 on the season, while the home Beavers fell to 2-3.

The Bluffton University men's soccer team returned home on Wednesday, Sept. 18, for a contest with the Waynesburg University Yellow Jackets.

But in the 89th minute, Waynesburg's Ray Melone had a corner kick and centered it into Josh Hennigh, who was able to put the ball in the back of the net, handing the Yellow Jackets a 4-3 victory. The win propelled the visitors to 4-1 and denied the Beavers (0-5) their first victory.

Music Together, music classes for infants to 5-year-olds, instructed by Laura Hartzler, will be offered at the Mennonite Memorial Home this fall. Classes are offered from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m., Mondays from Sept. 30 to Dec. 9.

The classes are developmentally appropriate for young children, the classes are not like a tradition music lesson.  In the classes children and their caregivers will sing, dance, and play instruments. All of the activities are play-based. Music Together has a great curriculum, many of the songs are American Folk songs with a modern flair.

Spain was the theme of the 5th annual International Party held recently at Maple Crest, Bluffton. It featured Sally Reeder speaking about the “adventures and mis-adventures” of her family’s life in Spain during the summer of 1970. 

At that time, Reeder was working on a master’s degree in Spanish with classes taught by Spanish professors in the city of Madrid while her husband, Dick, played “Mr. Mom” to their four children (ranging in age from 7-16).
