Bluffton University has an openign for a head softball coach.
On Friday, May 8,, head softball coach Heather Bruder announced her resignation at the end of the 2014-15 academic year. This coaching change comes against an unfortunate backdrop of a public event that occurred during the May 1 HCAC tournament, as reported by the HCAC commissioner:
The Bluffton Shuffleboard Club will host a free demonstration/open
house for adults interested in learning the game of shuffleboard or
more about the Bluffton Club Saturday, May 16, at 10 a.m. on the courts in Buckeye Park off Spring Street.
The club meets regularly throughout the summer for informal mixers on
Mondays and Saturdays at 10 a.m., Thursdays at 4 p.m., and hosts
seven tournaments during the season.
Contact Ralph Peterson, President, at 419-348-9995 with any questions.
Brenda L. Kohli, 57, died May 9, 2015, at 8:45 a.m. at Richland Manor, Bluffton. She was born Oct. 26, 1957, in Bluffton to the late Theodore "Ted" and Shirley (Weyer) Kohli.
She had most recently worked as an inserter for the Findlay Publishing Company. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Bluffton. She was a musician and song writer where she played at numerous coffee shops. She attended Bluffton High School.
Having problems finding a Mother's Day gift. Aphaphanh Nussbaum, Ten Thousand Villages manager, suggests a colorful "throw." The examples she's holding are recycled saris created by women in Bengladesh.
A borrowed sawhorse that was broken, and replaced, without the director knowing what had happened. A dead character wheeled off on a dolly, to applause, during a scene change. A rented backdrop coming down during a change and winding up in a pile on the floor backstage during the show.
Those were just a few of the memories—most humorous, others more serious—evoked on May 2 for current and past directors of Bluffton University’s May Day theatrical productions, which date to 1915.
